A lot of you probably wonder why Taelia has such a large car. My logic, based on Nick and Judy’s outsize cruiser at the end of the movie (did anyone else wonder how Judy’s feet reached the pedals?) is that it would be too unusual for smaller mammals to drive larger cars modified to suit them. Sure, a larger car would cost more, but it would probably save a lot on insurance since larger cars would be harder to steal, vandalize, or for that matter run over. On the flip side, they would probably be easier to get fixed since a wider size range of mechanics could manage them. Taelia most likely drives a used car (which, by all I’ve heard, is generally the best option in any case) made for a mammal larger than herself but smaller than a yak. I’ll be touching on that subject later in this story, but a lot of people asked about it on fanfiction.net so I thought I’d explain it here ahead of time.
My readers on fanfiction.net were also a big help on the question of how two-way mirrors work. The glass is highly reflective in both directions, but if the light is brighter on one side, that side gets a mirror-like reflection of glare back. It’s kind of like if you use your computer with the screen dimmed and the sun behind you. The other side's glare, meanwhile, is blocked out by the light coming through, like if you close the blinds and brighten your screen. Consequently, which side is the mirrored side can be easily changed by adjusting the lighting - hence "two way mirror."
Keep those reviews coming, folks!

Ordinary lace curtains can act like one-way mirrors; if it's sunny outside they'll appear white and opaque, while if it's dark (Or the inside is lit) they'll let you see in.
Also, note that FA doesn't allow certain characters in texts, such as long dashes. You'll note your story here has a few <?> blocks in it where the site didn't recognize something.
The plot thickens I see.

True. And lol you reminded me of a hilarious incident when my younger brother tried to dump cold water on me over the shower curtain but forgot the light was behind him and I could see his silhouette. He never tried that again.
Yeah, I should be able to fix the long dashes for the coming updates. I'm a little lost on why it won't recognize apostrophes either, though.
Indeed it does.

It recognizes 'simple' apostrophes and quotation marks, " because these are ASCII characters, the simple kinds of things you can print in an old DOS .TXT file. 'Fancy' characters like you find in Microsoft Word confuse it. It's just part of the site's archaic design. A quick find and replace usually fixes things.
When I was a lass we just did stuff like put syrup in the shampoo bottles.
Be fun to see where this little story leads.
