It was hard not to notice the pair of friends walking together along the sidewalk. A very odd couple. A hare, a girl, wearing a black bikini that stood out sharply against her almost entirely white fur, and a red fox, red-haired, wearing a yellow “LOOK AT ME IM HERE” tracksuit, as most of his friends liked to say. To make matters worse, both were quite tall for their respective species, so they attracted glances from other passersby.

After so many years of being friends, and despite always being shy around girls, Marcos had been joking around for a couple of blocks about how talkative Tina was. And not just with him.

"I don't get it, Tina. Everyone thinks Kurfust is really, really talkative, but you make him seem so introverted. You'd be great as a radio host."
"Well, that's not a bad idea, lanky," replied the hare with a sarcastic smile, "but, we hares talk pretty fast. After all these years, you should know that."
"I know, but you're the only person I actually have trouble imitating your voice. I mean, I can do it, but I definitely can't keep up with you for more than a few seconds without getting tongue-tied or running out of breath."

"That's what happens when your body is so skinny it has nowhere to catch its breath," Tina replied, animatedly hugging him by the arm for just a second before patting the red fox on the backside. "Just look how your buttocks don't even have any flesh on them! However, the girls say that..."

With lightning speed, Marcos placed his right hand over his friend's mouth, silencing her, while she gave him a mischievous look as she enjoyed watching him blush. "Shut up!!! I know exactly what you're going to say!" he said, while Tina simply pointed at his crotch, highly amused. She didn't even have to speak to have fun at her old friend's expense.

"I hate you," the fox said, embarrassed. Any other fox would be proud that a girl was praising his manhood like that, but Marcos was certainly not like other foxes. He wasn't a "sex-crazy" man, as was expected of his species, and paradoxically, that made him very popular with girls, as he was much more subtle and selfless. His long-eared friend had played a very important role when he met Ophelia, his girlfriend, a quiet and polite lemur girl interested in art... and in Marcos. Maybe Tina was a joker and perverted in a good way, but she was also fiercely loyal and a good partner.

And then he also met Stacy, and much later, Tamashi. It was a very rare case where he had three girlfriends, who knew each other, got along very well, and were more than happy to team up to play with the fox. Even Kurfust, known for being a womanizer for many years and super popular with his opposite gender, was surprised by his friend's success.
The hare squeezed the fox's nose with his small hand, causing him to let go so she could speak again.

"You're a fool. But a very funny fool. How many times have the bunnies tied you up because you look so sexy like that? Especially naked?"
"Well how many times did YOU tie me up so the girls could find me naked, bound and gagged?" was his reply, rolling his eyes.
"I don't know. A lot!" Tina replied, squeezing his nose again while laughing. "But you can't deny that you had a great time in their hands," she added maliciously, making him blush again. "And that's even though where you should have a butt, you have a pair of flat bricks and a soft, two-meter-long tail!"
"It's not that big. It's only a meter and a half," was his response.

"Anyway, just as I gave you a little push with Ophelia, you gave me a hand with Breihzlander. And I'll be forever grateful. So you won't be able to escape me. And my ropes," Tina added, laughing.
"It's a good thing you're grateful to me. I don't want to imagine what you'd do if you were mad at me then."
"I have a whole selection of toys you don't want to know about!" was her immediate response.
"You're crazy!" the fox said, pinching her cheeks and pulling them outward, with an amused smile.
"Owowowow! Everyone knows that, idiot! Let me go! XD"

Just then, the fox's cell phone started playing the Terminator theme song, indicating that Grisha had sent him a text, so he had to let go of his friend. But not before pinching her nose as she was about to massage her cheeks and pull it along, just as she had done to him, taking advantage of his extremely long snout.
While Tina was still deciding whether to rub her nose or her cheeks first, both of which were red now, Marcos quickly read the message.

"Well, Dora and Grisha are already on their way. And they're picking up Kurfust too. Your brother should already be waiting for us at house number 788 of Breihzlander..."
"He doesn't have THAT FEW houses!" she interrupted him with a mocking smile. "And your crazy girlfriends should be on their way too, after stopping by the supermarket, although Breihz offered to buy almost enough food to fill your stomach - black hole - thing" XD
"I just have a good appetite."
"Sure, land shark, of course. Please don't eat my juicy, meaty ass."
"You're a hopeless idiot!" Marcos said before hugging her from behind and making her burst into laughter by tickling her stomach for a few seconds.
"HAHAHAHA!! I never said no!!! HAHAHAHA! Stop it!!!" she said, squirming, trying to escape the boy's long arms.
"Don't tell me you're going to play basketball with us dressed like that!" Marcos told her.
"Why not? I want to attract Breihzlander's attention and take him somewhere more...private. And I know you guys just can't ignore a good pair of swaying breasts," she said, sticking out her tongue at him. "Especially if a friend happens to help me, blocking my way for a couple of seconds right in front of him. A FRIEND, cough, cough."
"I'll tell Kurfust then XD"
"Idiot XD help me, okay?"
"You know I'm going to!"
"Besides, Kurfust would definitely never be able to block me. Dora barely can; I'm so fast. And I'm not going to ask my brother to help me look sexy, obviously. Also, if I get Grisha as a rival he'll just squash me like a fly XD"
"As if you needed help with that. You're a girl with a beautiful face, a curvy body, perfect breasts, and a butt that won't leave anyone indifferent, especially with that black bikini. And those blue eyes that look like two lakes of mineral water XD"
"Aw, Marcos, see? That's why us girls love you! You're so sweet," Tina said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.


Just before playfully sticking a finger in his butt through his pants, making him squeal like a "girl," as she liked to say.

"AHHHHHH!"
"Got you!!! A race home, longsnout!" Tina said in middle of laughs, and started running as if she were escaping a nuclear explosion.
It took Marcos a few seconds before he could start running after her, pretending to be angry with her.
"I'll catch you! Like Gargamel caught the Smurfs!" he said before using his voice-mimicking ability, and perfectly copying the wizard's voice, he said, "I'll catch you! Even if it's the last thing I do! The last thing I do!"
"I bet you don't!" was her response, knowing that in practice, she would be caught. But it was so much fun playing with her friend Marcos, the lanky fox.
