Kittens, Unlikely Allies free porn video

Kittens, Unlikely Allies My mother sat in her seat surrounded by her kittens and her Advisors as the Fang sped toward the Sol system and the tiny planet called Earth. If I didn't love being a girl so much I would have happily shed my skirts for rough trousers and leather armor. I hadn't been born a girl, but my mother had been the youngest of her sisters and no one had paid attention to her or her offspring since it was her oldest sister who was in line for the throne of Lyconia. Of course I myself was the youngest of three Males. So when I began at the age of four insisting that I was girl, she welcomed it. being part of the royal family though the rest were sworn to secrecy. Now at fifteen I found myself as Princess Natani of Lyconia. Worse I was sent far away to a school where no one from home who didn't already know, would find out my secret. No one knows why my grandmother on her deathbed had changed her mind and named my mother as her successor. But the old Gal had claimed to have a vision that as Queen my Mother and her daughter would bring about true peace with the Terrellians, our closest neighboring universe and longest enemy. I had Cheea constantly going on about how wonderful the Kitten Academy was. Cheea was my mother's newest Kitten, and in her third year. I would be starting my first, and what made things worse the fact I wouldn't have any friends there other than Cheea. "Natani," spoke my mother. "Yes Momma?" "Are you listening to Cheea? She is trying to give you a few tips to help you get along." Said my mother. "Kai doesn't have to go so far away to school," I pouted. Taking my chin gently with the tips of her fingers she lifted my eyes to her own. "Natani, listen to me. none of your brothers can take my place on the throne. If anything happens to me before one of them fathers a suitable daughter to choose, you little 'Princess' will be named Queen. I intend for you to have the best education possible, and the Kitten Academy is the only place that you can attend school without our society finding out your secrets." "Yes Momma, but," I gave up. I really did enjoy the attention I got as the only Lyconian Princess, of course at fifteen I was going to be stuck into a Second year class. And being a girl had so many advantages as on Lyconia girls were called Bitches. But it wasn't in reference to our attitudes. Sure some were terribly mean our snooty toward Males. Of course other universes were careful not to refer to us as Bitches, and I was only beginning to learn the reasons why. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Lamella, I expect you and your sister to look out for Tarriana when you can," began my Momma as the Dagger approached the planet Earth. "I know that you are all in different Grades, but still you can take a few minutes of your time each day to make sure that she is getting along alright. Niesha says the Lyconian Princess is starting school this year also, so I don't want to hear that they are fighting. It's hard enough trading with them when our Males are constantly starting conflicts." Niesha was my oldest sister, and had graduated last year. She was at home right now while Momma, Morella who was the Queen, brought us to the Kitten Academy for our education. Of course I'd been held back until Niesha had graduated, not all the royal children could be away at school at the same time, so now I would be starting as a second year Kitten. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Erika, please don't be nervous," Momma Gina said. "I've discovered who your roommates are going to be this year. And we need to hurry to be there before the ships arrive." I was standing with Marissa and Momma Gina watching with wonder as the Dagger settled gently to the far end of the parking lot. I could feel my heart pounding as the Royal Guardians stepped off ahead of the Terrellian Queen, followed by her three youngest daughters. I'd seen the Queen and the two older girls last year. But this was my first time seeing the youngest. The first thing I noticed was that she had a real attitude. I almost giggled thinking how quickly she'd learn to get rid of that. They'd no sooner started toward Administration than the Fang set down at the other end of the lot. We paused to watch as the Lycan Queen stepped off with her youngest Kitten Cheea, and there was no mistaking her, Natani, the Lycan Princess. The Lycan Guardians unlike the Terrellians all kept their helmets on with the dark visors down as they stood guard at the ship. the other Lycan and Terrellian kittens here seemed to be waiting to welcome them and we followed them toward the building as the crowd opened up ahead of them. Here at the Academy it was an uneasy peace. But there wasn't any of the taunting or harassment that we saw on the nightly vids in the common rooms at times. Most of the Kittens from both societies were actually close friends here at school. I saw Mistress Gwendolyn as she stepped out to greet everyone. Then suddenly a figure came dashing out of nowhere and ran into her, but the young girl had jumped up and ran off deeper into the grounds. "Are you hurt Mistress?" asked three voices as they helped her to her feet. "Yes I'm fine, but whose Kitten was that?" asked the Headmistress obviously peaked at being knocked down without even a word of apology. "Ma'am," interrupted one of the Terrellian guardians. "She stowed away in our cargo hold. But we have no idea who she is." "That's quite alright, we'll find her," said Mistress Gwendolyn. "Kitten Erika, I'd like you to meet your two roommates for this year. Kitten Natani and Kitten Tarriana." There were a lot of gasps. "I'm afraid you'll have to help them catch up since they both missed out on the first year, but I have faith in you Kitten." "Ma'am, We both hope this works the way you envisioned it," said the Terrellian Queen. "Yes, I agree," added the Lyconian. "Kittens from both our societies seem to get along nicely here." "Erika, why don't you take your roommates to your room and help them get settled in. I think the rest of us are going to try to find that Kitten before she gets into more trouble," said Mistress Gwendolyn. I led my two roommates to our room in the second year dorm, and found it difficult from the start. Neither of them would talk to the other one and they made it plain that they expected my part of the room to stay between them. "Don't be getting any cat fur on my part of the room," growled Natani when Tarriana sat in the middle of her own bed and began brushing out her long hair. "Speak for yourself Dog, I don't have a shedding problem," spat Tarriana back at her. "Fine at least you're talking. I'm getting ready for bed," I told them and started changing into my nitie. "You're," gasped both at the same time. "A Transkitten, yes I know," I smiled. Then I saw out the window as the search party was returning from looking for the other kitten who had knocked down our Headmistress. "Look you two are going to have to get over whatever it is between you. Here you aren't royalty, heck you aren't even seen as Terrellian or Lyconian. Here you are Kittens, and I will not accumulate demerits because you two refuse to get along. Now I suggest you both get to bed, tomorrows going to be a very long day." I turned out the light and lay down. Tarriana turned her back as she got undressed and changed into her nitie. Natani tried to use the door to her wardrobe closet to hide herself as she changed. Fine they liked privacy, that would change on our gym days though I almost snickered to myself, I bet neither of them had ever had to shower with other girls as a class before. I heard Tarriana sniffling quietly in her bed and started to ask her what was wrong. As I rolled over I caught the sound from Natani's bed, she too was crying. I think Tarriana cried herself to sleep first, and I really did feel sorry for both of them. they were trillions of miles from home, on their own for the first time in their short lives. I had just fallen asleep when Natani tapped my shoulder. "E, Erika, I need to pee." "It's down the hall to the right. The only room with a light still on," I told her. "Would, would you go with me?" I rolled out of bed and took hold of her hand, then led her down the hall to the bathroom. When she was done I heard a groan from the stall and she stepped out half doubled over as if in pain. two things I knew could cause that, period cramps, or, a bad tuck. But she was the Lyconian Princess so was sure it couldn't be the latter. "Do you have enough pads?" I asked her. "Pads, pads for what?" she asked as if she hadn't a clue. "Umm, for your period," I answered. "I'm not having a period, but you wouldn't understand." Then I noticed the way she was walking. Before we stepped into the hallway though I stopped her. "Natani, are you Transgendered like I am?" "Shhhh, no one can know. Please, especially not the Cat," she said and I knew she meant Tarriana. "Look, I can teach you a better way to tuck things out of sight. But you know as well as I do that you can't hide it forever. Not from your classmates," I told her. "What do you mean not from my classmates?" her voice was a bit louder than she realized and light from the Class Mistress' room flooded the hallway a moment before she stepped out. "Kittens, what is going on?" "Oh, Kitten Natani, are you alright Dear, you've been crying." "I'm sorry," she answered. "Mistress," I whispered to her. "What?" she asked in response. "Kitten Natani, my title is Mistress. To you it is Mistress Myrtle. But seeing as it isn't even your first day here I will forgive the transgression this once. Now you two need to go to bed. tomorrow is going to be a busy day." She stood and watched as we went back to our own room. On her side I stood and showed her the fastest easiest way to tuck herself. "You just need to practice. Remind me in the morning and I lend you a Gaff until we can get you some of your own." "A what?" we were keeping our voices down so we didn't wake up Tarriana. "It's a specially designed panty for Transgenders that once you have yourself tucked, won't allow it to slip out of place. Get one that fits properly and it can even make it look like you have a real p, umm, vagina," I told her. I'd only just learned about Gaffs over the summer when Aunt Tiffany brought me some as a present. She said they were new on the market. I just almost fallen asleep when I heard, "Erika? Are you awake?" I opened my eyes to find Tarriana kneeling beside my bed staring into my face. "I am now," I answered. "W, would you show me where the bathroom is?" I made another trip to the bathroom leading Tarriana this time. "Is Natani ok? What were you two doing when you came back from the bathroom?" she asked as she went potty. "Why is there so much turmoil between your two Races?" I asked instead of answering. "Well first they're Wolves, and we're Cats. Kind of like oil and water." She answered. "So why does she need a special panty like yours?" The question caught me off guard. "I heard you telling her you would loan her one in the morning." "That's something you'll have to ask her about, not me. so why won't you even talk to her?" She was picking at the edges of her Kitten collar, clearly not used to wearing one. As we stepped back into our room we found Natani kneeling at the head of her bed, her elbows on the window sill, head propped on her hands watching her mother's ship. I saw a tear roll slowly down her cheek. Tarriana soon did the same, and I realized they were sort of turned toward each other since the two ships were at opposite ends of the parking lot. I lay down in my own bed and fell asleep thinking how lucky Marissa was that she didn't have to spend the night before school started here in the dorm with two roommates who hated each other, but had never met before. The sound of Mistress Myrtle's riding crop handle rapping on the door as she passed by, "Rise and Shine Kittens, you have one hour till Morning Inspections." She moved on down the hall to the other occupied rooms. "Erika, will we get to see our Momma's before they leave?" asked Tarriana. I and Natani were already out of bed. I had my things for my morning shower ready and my towel. And Natani was getting her things ready when I heard the clack of heels in the hallway. "Hurry get out of bed," I told Tarriana. "But we have a whole hour?" "Kitten, you were the first room I woke up, why are you still in that bed?" demanded Mistress Myrtle. "But inspections aren't for," I barely jumped back in time before the edge of her bed was flipped up with her in it. "There are no lazy Kittens in my Dorm. Do you think your mother was a Lazy Kitten when she attended her? no she wasn't, and neither will you. now get showered and dressed and get this bed made properly. Two Demerits," she spun on her heels and left the room. We ended up helping her make her bed since she took longer in the shower than anyone else I knew. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I was shocked and frightened when I found myself dumped into the floor. every part of me was screaming, "How dare you treat a princess like this?" I expected to hear the damned Wolf laughing at me, but she only looked almost as frightened as I felt. When I finally returned from the showers though I found Natani and Erika had righted my bed and were in the process of putting the mattress back. I noticed their own beds were already made. And they were already in their uniforms. I quickly put on my own then began doing my makeup while they went through their Wardrobes making sure everything was just so. When I was done I looked at my bed which still hadn't been made. "We have ten minutes left," Erika said. "You need to learn to be quicker." "Aren't you going to help me?" I asked. "No," answered Erika. "But I'm a Princess," I started to answer. Now Natani got right in my face. "Listen up little Cat, here you are just another Kitten like the rest of us. So get your fucking shit together and stop being a stuck up little," "Owwww," she yelped as the spat end of a riding crop met with her bottom. "Kitten Natani, two demerits for unlady like Language, one demerit for degrading a fellow Kitten," announced Mistress Myrtle. "Kitten Tarriana, Two demerits for an unmade bed, two demerits for a messy wardrobe. And what is that sticking out from under your collar?" "P, padding Ma'am," she answered. The crop now came up under her chin. "I know that your sisters and your Mother taught you the proper titles. Now what is my proper title Kitten?" "M, Mistress." "Very good, one demerit for improper use of Titles. And another for defacing your Collar. Two more and you get to be one of the first Kittens in the dorm to get a spanking. Now you have until I return on my inspection to fix this room," she spun on her heels and left again, the loud clacking on the hard wood floor as she headed for the next occupied room. "Listen up you two, we are going to really have to work together. She's one of the few who can walk as silent in heels as if she was barefoot. There are only six rooms with anyone in them right now. We don't have much time. Natani help her make her bed, I'll start on her wardrobe," Erika said leaving me and the Wolf to make my bed. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It really irked me that I was expected to help the Cat make her own bed. I'd always known they had it easy. But still there was enough pride in me that I really did try to teach her. Erika had her wardrobe sorted out and ready in nothing flat. Then she joined us. She placed her hand at the top where the blanket was folded over. then pulled the bottom and sides loose again. then she adjusted the top fold. Tarriana lay your hand right here," she set the ruler down on the edge and I saw it was six inches. "Remember six inches folded over at the top, six inches from the headboard. She quickly pulled and adjusted the blanket from the foot, then tucked it in. next she and Natani each took a side and showed me how to make what she called a hospital corner. Next they showed me how to reach up from underneath and pull the sides in tight. We heard the clack of heels only a second before Mistress Myrtle was stepping into the room. We each scrambled to the foot of our beds as she just looked at us with amusement. She simply wandered quickly around the room then stepped to the door again, "Very good Kittens, no deficiencies. Ten minutes till we need to be lined up to go to breakfast," and she was once again gone. "Tarri, don't you have something to say to Nat?" asked Erika. "Th, thank you Natani," I blushed at the thought of actually thanking her. "Remember to bring your purse and your leash," reminded Erika. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For someone with older sisters who were in the Academy, Tarriana really was a mess. At least I had the excuse of not having any sisters. Still she did thank me, so maybe there was hope for her after all. I realized that as frightened as I was maybe there was someone else more afraid than myself. As we lined up in the hallway at the top of the stairs waiting to go to breakfast I looked around realizing that with the exception of Erika and two other humans that I was sure were House Kittens, everyone else already here were Off World Kittens like myself and Tarriana. The other Kittens were due to begin arriving right after breakfast, and were going to be expected to ready to begin the orientation classes when they were all here. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I stood there in line behind Erika, in front of Natani waiting, unsure why we were waiting there. But Erika had told us our side of the dorm was to wait in line at the head of the stairs lined up by room. I noticed the other side was doing the same. Mistress Myrtle stepped out into the hallway at the head of the stairs, a double lead leash in her left hand. "Alright Kittens, this morning we are going to go to breakfast on our leashes. We still have a Free Range Kitten out there wandering around." I hurried and fastened my leash to my collar, now understanding why Erika had insisted we bring them. "Now, you will pass the end to the Kitten in front of you," we were directed. Then she took Erika and Sulia's leash and clipped a lead onto each one. Looking around as we exited our dorm I saw the long double file lines of First Year Kittens on leashes as they walked ahead of us. the third and fourth year Kittens weren't on leashes, though they were in a double file like the rest of us as we waited to enter behind the First years. We'd just gotten inside merging into a single file to get our trays when I heard, "So you decided to come in on your own, did you? But you can't enter without your Collar." Then "Come along Kitten Thirteen, you must be famished." "Do you have a name Kitten Thirteen?" I looked to see that the Cougar Mistress talking to her was Headmistress Gwendolyn. "Bianca, Bianca Bettina Felicia Carlotta Moroi," answered the young girl I finally recognized as being the one who had stowed away aboard the Dagger when we left the Omega Space Port. When we finally got back to our room after breakfast I found we had a fourth roommate. A Draconian, Saffrella Grevall. That Erika knew her was apparent by the way hugged and kissed cheeks. Then introduced us. "Oh man, do they hate us or what?" began Saffrella. "You know what kind of task it's going to be to get these two to cooperate. Cats and Wolves of their royal status do not get along." "Saffrella, two demerits," said Mistress Myrtle in the hallway. "Not even a full day and I've already gotten demerits because of them," she complained. "No, you're the one that used the banned words," pointed out Erika. "Banned words?" asked Natani. "Yes," they both chimed in. "Look you two better get used to it right now. Here you are either Terrellian or Lycans, not 'Cats and Wolves'." Explained Erika. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Natani and I gradually began working together more and more because we had too. But I had to admit she wasn't the evil creature I'd been led to believe in school back home. No it wasn't the schools teaching, it was the other students in school. We'd been there a month and still I was accumulating more demerits than anyone else in class. I really was trying my hardest, I just missed home and my Momma. I knew that it was pretty hard for Natani as well, especially now that I knew why she was so shy around other girls. I would still wake up in the middle of the night ready to cry, and then hear her softly sniffling because she just wanted to go home. It was one of the rare moments that we were both alone together in our room that she approached me with the idea. "Tarri, can I talk to you a minute?" she asked. "Yeah, what about?" I answered. "Look I know we aren't the best of friends or anything, but I know you want to go home just as much as I do," she whispered. It was Thursday evening and I knew what was going to happen tomorrow, my weekly demerit spanking. "Yeah well you aren't getting spanked tomorrow," I could feel myself about to cry. "W, what if I knew a way that we could both get out of here? get on the 'Freeway' and go home?" she asked. I looked at her suspiciously. "How?" it was a hope. "That car in front of the main building. Have you ever noticed they just open the gate and it goes out and in without being stopped?" "That's Headmistress Gwendolyn's car," I pointed out. "So you don't think that the Headmistress' car would be able to get us home?" We actually found ourselves working together to plan it out while our roommates were out of the room. At Two AM I slipped out of my bed, I'd gone to bed like Natani in my school uniform staying covered up to keep our roommates from knowing it. Both of us barefoot, carrying or heels we hurried down the hallway to the stairs, careful to avoid every third step, they creaked whenever you stepped on them. It was at the main doors we ran into our first obstacle. The door was locked, but then I slipped my nail file into the latch and tripped it open. I was startled at first when she grabbed hold of my hand and began leading me into the shadows heading towards the parking lot. For some reason I felt safer holding her hand, less frightened of getting caught. There was a soft flickering glow coming from the little cottage, we could hear Kitten Bianca moaning and squealing with pleasure as we snuck past. We had to hide in some bushes as a pair of Staff wandered past, then we raced to the car and found it unlocked to my relief. But then we hit our second obstacle, there weren't any keys. We sat motionless as another pair of Staff paused in front of the car. Then we realized that no one could see in past the heavy tinting on the windows. I remembered Erika talking about her time before her Cougar Momma had adopted her, and how she'd hotwired cars. I was trying to tell Natani what I remembered as I leaned forward my face in her lap looking for the right wires. I almost froze in panic when her hand came to rest on my breast. "Hold still, don't move," she whispered. "I'm not sure, but the silent alarm on the Second year dorm went off. I think we have a Kitten outside," said Mistress Tyrea. "Myrtle is making a check of her Kittens to see who is missing." "Should we alert Mistress Gwendolyn?" "No they can't possibly get off school grounds." They moved off toward the exercise track. "Hey do you think that nail file trick would work?" I asked Natani. With a silent nod she motioned for me to try it. It took a few tries but finally the ignition switch turned and the engine purred to life with a low rumble. Natani shifted into first and the tires squealed as the little car jumped forward up over the curb. She gave it more gas as the tires spun out throwing grass behind us as we turned headed for the gate. I saw lights coming on in the cottage behind us as she slowed down approaching the gate. But the guard just stepped out and swung the heavy gate open ahead of us. I had no idea that Natani knew how to drive, but I was happy that she did as the car turned smoothly onto the street out front and she shifted into second. "Where did you learn to drive an earth vehicle?" I finally asked as we hit the outskirts of town. Now she giggled, "My oldest brother has one that was converted to run on Cold fusion. Cost him a fortune in Galactic Credits to get it too." She was pressing buttons and twisting nobs on the dash, "Help me there has to be something here that will show us the way to the portal." "N, Natani?" "Yes?" "Thanks for bringing me with you. I really mean it," I said. Suddenly there were flashing lights and sirens behind us, and she said, "Oh shit." But she didn't stop, she down shifted and turned onto another roadway, the force of the turn throwing me against the door as the rear end of the car swung around behind us before straightening out. I opened a little compartment and saw what looked like a radio. I twisted a knob and suddenly there were red lights blinking as they skipped across the front of it. suddenly the light stopped and we heard. ?426 in pursuit of the Stolen Lamborghini.? He gave his location and I saw the same numbers on a sign beside the road as we passed. We changed roads again, and again as we finally lost him. then Natani pulled off to the side sitting there trying to find something to give us directions as we listened to the radio the police were everywhere searching for us. but we weren?t giving up, we were already in so much trouble as it was. Besides the humans outside the school had no idea that Terrellians or Lyconians existed. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The sun was coming up and I was tired, I needed sleep. But Tarriana was afraid to try driving. I eased off into the back country, nothing but miles and miles of something we?d learned was corn. Finally I got her to try it, just enough that she was comfortable sitting behind the wheel as we drove out deep into a field of corn to get some rest. ?Natani, what does it mean when the needle is almost on the ?E??? asked Tarriana. ?It means the fuel tank is almost empty. Crap we better find someplace to get more and not get caught,? I said. ?Let me think about this we?ll figure out something.? We sat listening to what we now knew was a police scanner, and the stereo. ?Police in two states are still searching for the Lamborghini Miura that has eluded police in two states. There is still no identification on the possible driver or drivers,? reported on news station. ?Of course whoever they might be they?re going to be needing lots of gas to stay ahead of the police.? Another station was interviewing citizens along our known route. ?I tell you what, whoever they are, they got friends out here. real common folks who aint afraid to sell them gas,? said one old man. ?If they show up here, I?ll pump it in their tank and not charge em for it.? On the scanner they heard, ?Yeah we just talked to the owner. She?s the headmistress of that fancy ass girls school. She doesn?t know how they got hold of it. but she says there?s enough money in cash in the glove compartment to buy them all the gas they want.? ?Hope they don?t figure that out. I figure they?re sittin someplace right now out of gas. That thing only gets twelve miles to the gallon.? We were getting hungry and I traded places with Tarriana around noon. I figured going slow we might be able to backtrack to a little place I saw that advertised gas. Luckily the road came out just across from it and people actually stopped to let us cross the road to it. ?Holy shit Margaret get out here, it?s that fancy car the police been chasin all over the state.? the little old man was waving us over to some sort of pumps. We no sooner pulled up and shut it off again than he started pumping gas into it. An old woman came out of the building carrying. A huge grin on her face as more people began pulling in off the roadway. She tapped on the window and I rolled it down just a bit then heard her gasp in surprise as she covered her mouth. ?Hurry up Pop, these girls need to get outa here quick,? she was trying to push things through the window to me. ?Take it child, it?s sandwiches I?ll get you some bottled water. Hurry up Pop, I figure old Henry ought to be on his way by now.? I tried to push some money out to her. ?You keep it child, and be careful bout lettin people see who you is. They mightn?t understand like me and Pop do.? She reached through and squeezed my hand on the steering wheel and I caught an odor of Wolf. One of the farmers on a tractor jumped off and pushed something through the window next. ?You follow this here map I marked most the places you can get gas and food.? ?Th, thank you,? I said. ?Now go, hurry the sheriff?s patrols almost here,? he pointed toward a rapidly approaching police car. The lights and siren going as the scanner came to life. ?This is Sheriff Mallard, Pottawatomie County, I spotted that there fancy car on county sixty three headed towards the Nebraska line.? The crowd ahead of us scattered out of our way as tractors and pickup trucks clogged the road behind us. About four miles down I hung a right turn and we started flying down back roads. We passed a lot of cheering people. And weren?t surprised when we heard the cops talking about not seeing us. then we hit another main road and almost ran into one as the car slid sideways around the corner. ?Shit, where?d he come from?? asked Tarriana looking over the back of the seat. I looked in the rear view and saw we now had two on our tail. I lost track of the turns and road names as we continued to get more police behind us. ?Keep the pressure on. They got nowhere to go boys. That bridge is out up ahead, just block the side roads,? we heard on the scanner. ?Looks like Miami county has them at Louisburg Middle Creek,? said another officer. I reached over and took hold of Tarriana?s hand as I pressed down harder on the gas pedal. ?Oh Shit,? I gasped as the ?Bridge Out? signs flashed by. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I closed my eyes as end of the bridge flashed by, then braced myself as we bounced around on the other side, the rear end fishtailing before Natani got it back under control. A few miles later we passed a sign that read ?Welcome to Missouri?. We were going slow again trying not to attract attention as we pulled into a roadside park. We were almost out of gas again, but the map didn?t show any place in this state, it was a Kansas State map. ?Tarri, I?m sorry I got you into this, I really am. But you know what?? She looked at me. ?You really are pretty cool for a Cat. And I?m glad you?re my friend.? ?Yeah, it?s been a real experience for me too,? I finally said. ?You want me to hang behind the wheel so you can rest. You look beat.? She leaned over and kissed my cheek, ?Thanks.? We traded places and I sat there behind the wheel watching her sleep as I tried to figure what or where we should go next. I?d never been this close to a Wolf before, not constantly. And I kept thinking about how pretty she was, for a wolf. Another news reporter was interviewing Mistress Gwendolyn. And I heard her say, ?I just hope that whoever took my car doesn?t think they can get away by taking the Freeway. It really isn?t equipped with the right tires and such for that. it would be best if they just brought it back here before they get caught by the Authorities.? I was getting nervous when I saw a big truck go by just before the brake lights came on. ?Natani,? I tried to wake her up but she was out cold. The truck backed up and I saw the magic words written along the side of the huge tank behind the cab. ?Garden City Petroleum?. Finally the driver stood next to the window tapping on it. ?You need some gas?? I cracked it just a bit. ?Uhh, yeah. We were just getting some rest before we try to find a station.? ?Hold on and relax, no one will see you sittin here behind my truck.? He started doing something and I realized he was pulling a long hose out of the back of the truck. In minutes he?d filled the tank and I pushed some bills out to him. ?Thanks, look I?ll drive behind you so they don?t spot you.? ?Wh, what?? ?Those two cops on the radio are headed this way, the road ahead isn?t wide enough for them to pass me.? he explained. Natani snored in the passenger seat. He followed me for about twenty miles until I finally turned off on another road. About ten miles down I pulled off again as Natani sat up looking around. ?What, where are we?? ?I don?t know but some guy in a tanker truck gave us some gas then blocked the cops from catching me until I got clear.? ?Holy shit Girl, you rock.? She leaned across and kissed my lips this time. I sat there stunned just staring at her. ?Th, that was nice,? I said then leaned across and kissed her back, it was first time I?d ever been kissed on the lips, and it really felt special. I was making it last as we continued to kiss until I needed air. We both sat there panting staring at each other. ?Th, that was my first real kiss,? she admitted blushing. Just then the crunch of gravel got our attention as a police car slid to a stop behind us. the officer jumping out with his gun out to run toward the car. She slammed the shifter into first, ?Go damnit. Drive.? I spun out peppering him with gravel as took off. A few miles down the road we went under a larger highway and she had me pull over so we could switch. As soon as she was behind the wheel we took off this time up onto the bigger highway called an Interstate. I saw the number ?71? and South. ?N, Natani. Wh, while you were asleep Mistress Gwendolyn said something about the car not being equipped to drive on the freeway.? I told her. ?Yeah I kind of realized that when it didn?t have any special controls,? she admitted. ?But I didn?t want to worry you.? ?What, why?? ?I, I?ve never had this much fun with anyone in my life and, well you seem to be having fun too.? ?Can I ask you why your people and mine don?t get along?? I finally asked after a few minutes of silence. ?Something about the way your Males treat Females. Only your females are able to drive the trucks, but they are not allowed to own them. it?s the same with your star ships.? She looked at me then, ?Of course my own people don?t allow our females to drive or be pilots. The whole thing is really stupid. We?re neighbors we should be helping each other not fighting.? She looked up in the rearview mirror and said, ?Hang on.? We had two state patrols on our tail now and were flying down the highway doing about one fifty weaving past slower traffic. Suddenly she cut through the center strip onto the other side of the highway, and shot up an onramp going the wrong way. things were getting scary until finally we were clear of traffic and cop cars. She was slowing down in the outskirts of a small town. ?We need gas,? her hand squeezed mine. ?I wish you were my sister, I don?t have any sisters, just brothers.? ?I don?t have any brothers. But you?d be the best sister ever.? I squeezed her hand in return. she took a sudden turn and I caught myself before I ended up in her lap. We giggled as four young guys about fell all over their selves. One started filling the tank. One was checking the air in the tires. Two pulled the hood up and checked the oil. I was surprised when they put in three quarts of oil. Then they were washing the windshield. Natani giggled as she cracked the window and pushed out one of the hundred dollar bills. ?Follow the dude on the motorcycle, he?ll get you past all the cops to the south side of town.? I giggled as I kissed a napkin then Natani kissed it and passed it out the cracked window to him as we started rolling again. We were both giggling so hard about the look on their faces as we drove away. Then we saw the other young people lining the streets cheering us on. Crossing under another big divided highway we soon lost the guy on the bike and were speeding along another back highway heading west as we crossed into the state of Oklahoma on highway 60. It was getting dark again so we pulled off onto a side road searching for a place to hide and sleep. Suddenly we had more police behind us and were searching for a place to lose them. but then all of a sudden they stopped in the middle of the road. ?What the hells?? asked Natani. ?I don?t know. It?s like they?re afraid or something,? I started saying when Natani suddenly hit the brakes sliding to a stop. There was a line people standing across the road in front of us. We sat there staring at them, these were the Native Indians we?d read about in the Earth History books. One finally stepped out from the rest and walked up to Natani?s window. ?Welcome to the Osage Reservation Children of the stars,? she said. ?They will not follow you here,? she motioned to the line of police cruisers stopped at the edge of the reservation line. ?Come we would welcome you, and give you food and a place to rest before you continue on your way.? It wasn?t until we were out of sight of the police that the old woman changed. Her form shifted to that of a Mountain Lion. Then all around us others began to change shapes becoming other large Cats and Wolves. One, a huge wolf stepped to the door. ?You are safe her, the warriors will guard your sleep.? It was kind of magical seeing all of these Wolves and Cats together. Interacting like brothers and sisters, friends united in a single cause. We actually got out and relaxed. It was nice not having to hurry to find a place to squat and dash back to the car before getting caught. At one point before we left a young girl brought us each a dream catcher. ?Field Mouse says that you two are on a path of great discovery. She sees you becoming more than friends. You will become leaders of your two peoples and bring peace and prosperity.? I looked at the old woman and then took off one of my bracelets and handed it to the girl. ?Thank you, I hope our two kinds can learn to live in peace like we have.? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We left just after dawn following a road north into Kansas once again. Tarriana was driving for the second time and we?d just gotten found by that states police who were gaining on us because she was still a bit afraid of going too fast and losing control. Out of nowhere a ship appeared on the road in front of us. the back cargo ramp down and she hit the brakes hard as the car shot up into the ship. I knew we were both in deep trouble. Not because we?d just been caught by a space ship. But because of the two figures standing in front of the car. One was Terrellian, the other was Lycan, and they were our mothers. I could tell by the way the gravity had increased that we were racing up into the stars. ?Mistress Gwendolyn please,? said Queen Morella. ?Yes Ma?am they are safe.? ?No Ma?am we will return them once it gets dark. They?ve caused enough commotion we don?t want to add to it.? ?Would you two care to explain yourselves to us?? asked Cree, Natani?s mother. Then she saw our hands. ?I think maybe they?ve got enough to think about Cree. After all they still have to explain to Mistress Gwendolyn why they stole her car.? ?Yes and then there will be the public spankings to show the rest that they cannot get away with such behavior.? I swallowed the lump in my throat. ?You realize what you?ve done? You stole a car, eluded the police forces of three states, and risked exposure of the Kitten Academy. Not to mention all the other things that we are still discovering.? We were sitting in the passenger seats now as our mothers slowly pointed out everything that we had done. What might have happened if we?d been caught. ?Morella,? my mother reached out and caressed both our cheeks. ?I think they may have done more than just taken a joy ride. When was the last time you saw two girls from our two races cling to each other?? ?You?re right Cree, I just hope it doesn?t end when they leave school.? ?M, Momma,? I got the nerve to speak for the first time since we?d been picked up by the Fang. ?Nat?? I looked at Tarri, ?Remember those stories about the ancient kings? They traded children as hostages for peace?? I saw her smile. ?Yes. Do, do you think our mothers would go for it?? I saw our mothers look at each other puzzled. ?Momma, this summer after school, if we aren?t expelled or even if we are, could, could I go live with Queen Cree? To show our people how much we trust each other, that we should be living in peace,? said Tarriana. ?Cree, I would happily accept fostering your daughter for the summers,? added Morella. ?Agreed,? she shook then hugged each other. Tarriana and I were hugging each other as well. Twelve hours later when the Fang was set down next to the Dagger we both exited still holding hands, behind our mothers. ?Well?? asked Mistress Gwendolyn. ?We?re sorry Mistress Gwendolyn,? we were both crying real tears. ?It was all my idea Mistress, I talked Tarriana into going with me,? admitted Natani. ?I, I?m the one that hotwired your car Mistress, it wasn?t Natani.? I realized the parking lot exceptionally full for this time of night. ?Cree, Morella, you know what is expected. I?ll be in the Auditorium.? She turned and marched off flanked by other staff and Cougars. ?Cree, I think maybe in the name of fostering we should set the precedence, don?t you?? Our leashes were clipped to our collars. Our arms crossed and bound behind our backs. And then we were led side by side into the auditorium by each other?s Momma. There were lots of gasps as we were spanked across the knees of the others mother. But before we could leave the stage Mistress Gwendolyn asked, ?Did you learn anything from your recent experiences, Kittens?? ?Yes Mistress, that we cannot run away from our problems.? Answered Tarriana. ?Yes Mistress, That true friends are can be found in even the most unlikely of Allies,? I answered. ?And why is it that you were spanked by each other?s Mother?? Now our Momma?s stood and I realized for the first time it was being sent out live over the Kitten Network. ?Our Daughter Kittens have offered themselves as willing foster daughters to the others mother in hopes that our two races will begin to understand our hostility is pointless.? Said Queen Morella. ?I am proud to accept Princess Tarriana as my foster daughter.? ?And I am proud to accept Princess Natani as mine. May our universes live in peace with each other.? We looked almost every day hoping to see the Miura again. thinking that it was away being repaired after all the damages we?d done in our attempt to get away. But we never saw it again, not during the school year anyway. Mistress Gwendolyn never mentioned it either, other than to say it was no longer her car. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Natani and I threw ourselves into promoting mutual cooperation between the other Kittens, not just from our own societies but from the others as well. Eventually Erika Tyler forgave us for putting her on the spot by running away.
