[Red River Boarding School]

*James did a fake frown*

"You dont wanna go out with me?" he asked with a fake sadness "i dont look that bad.. is it my eye patch? my fur? my ears? my tail?"

Not noticing his apparant faking, she frowned and turned to face him, apology written all over her beautiful face.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry... it isn't that at all. I was merely joking." She bit her bottom lip... yet again, clearly signaling she was nervous about saying the wrong thing.

*James smiled and laughed a bit*

"i was only kidding" he said "there isnt a way in the world you could offend me"

A small sigh of relif escaped her lips and she placed her hand at her heart.

"You scared me for a moment... I thought you were being serious. but now I'm curious. Do you always look like this, or can you change your appearance somehow? i find it most intriguing that... you can walk on 2 feet." she said. She was clearly interested in everything about him, though did a poor job of hiding it.

*James sighed and turned into a baby fox for her and ran infront of her, he made his fur puff out and it made him look like a small ball of fluff*

"...."

She gasped in surprise and her eyes looked as if they turned into some sort of extremely shiny marble as she looked down at the cute little fox in front of her.

"HOW ADORABLE!!!" She yelped, kneeling down and picking him up from the ground and cuddeling his cute little face up to her cheek. "I had no idea you could do that! Aww."

*James smiled and didnt struggle*

"..........." he couldnt talk like this, but he always got people to hold him when he did that, even though the people at this school dont know he can do that

She suddenly stopped cuddeling him so affectionately, almost forgetting that he had only transformed. So she put him back down onto the ground, brushing a strand of her long brown hair behind her ear, embarrassed at her actions.

"Sorry..." she said. "I could hardly contain myself. And to add on to what I was saying earlier.. I meant could you change into a regular man? though I must admit, I really don't mind your cute baby side either." she joked, looking down at him with a pout out lip.

*James turned back to normal*

"its no problem, i didnt mind at all" he said "but dont tell anyone i did that, cuz they dont know i can.. i actually like staying as a baby fox.." at that, he turned into his puffy fur baby fox form and walked around her.

Unable to resist yet again, she picked him up and walked off school campus with him bundled up in her sweater.

"You're just so cute.. but alas, you never answered my question. I need to know, cause in the future, it can complicate things a bit if you're always in animal form." She scratched his head cutely as she walked.

*James let out a cute baby sigh as he snuggled and pretended to fall asleep*

"....."

She looked down at him and smiled, holding him closer.

"I'll press the matter more later..." she decided, then stopped at an intersection, looking left to right at all the shops and restaurants surrounding her. "James, where to now?" she asked.

*James continued to pretend he was asleep, just to annoy her a little*

"...."

0.0.... >_>....

She poked him gently, nudging him awake from him pretend "slumber".

"James? Oh come on... if you were tired, we shouldn't have gone out." She tried to reason, continueing her poking on his little form.

*James jumped down and hit the ground, and accedently started to roll cuz of his puffed out fur. he turned to his regular form and smiled at her*

"heh gotcha" he said "any ways follow me"

Smiling slightly, though a little disappointed at the soruce of body heat was now not within her grasp, she began to shiver, wrapping her arms around herself in an attempt to keep herself warm.

"Alright.." she said, following him close behind. "Where do you plan to go?"

*James smiled*

"Your choice, my house, of which is a mansion... or a resturant over there, of which is small but fancy" he took off his coat and handed it to her "here"

She opened her mouth to protest, wondering if he would be cold in exchange for him letting her borrow his jacket as extra protection from the cold, then she closed her mouth as she decided not to say anything.

"Lets see... go to the home of someone I'm going on a date with, WHICH is for the first time.... or go to a restaurant and continue to be a good mannered lady? i wonder which to choose..." she said smartly, looking up at him in mock amusement at her comment.

*James smiled*

"if you go to my house, we can order pizza and watch a movie or somethin, if we go to a resturant we can be quiet and eat their food" he said smiling

"I must admit, it sounds very tempting... but I have my boundaries. And no doubt I'm sure I can trust you, I just don't know you enough to go to your home. Perhaps some other time? Besides, I'm happy enough just spending some time with you, you truly are a fascinating person." She said, smiling at him sincerely. "Come on, lets get some pizza."
