It's in the center of the kitchen. The cabinets fridge and stove are on the walls around it. With just enough room to walk around. On top of the table is Kit's magazine. Angie smiles and says, "Have you enjoyed your magazine?" Kit takes it, embarrassed and says, "I haven't really had a change to read it". Angie laughs mocking her and says, "Oh you read it", sarcastically. Kit sticks her tongue at her, before walking to her room. She throws the magazine on the bed and went back into the kitchen. Angie smiles at her still picking. Kit ignores her and finishes putting up the food. Afterwards Kit sighs and says, "Feels good to have a kitchen full of food." While staring into the fridge. After stretching and looking around. She giggles, "Once I get my own job. We can start fixing this place up". She looks out of the kitchen into the living room that is just a couch and TV. "A nice chair and a new couch would look good in there". She frowns at the floor TV Angie has, and says, "And get a nice wall mounted flat panel TV". Angie shrugs and says, "Sure". But Kit talking about a job reminds her that her friend Spec might have an opening. There's only one problem. Angie with a pity look sighs and says, "Kit", she pauses making Kit nervous. Then after sighing again continues, "Sit down", she points to the chair across from the one she's now sitting down on. Kit is very nervous thinking she's getting kicked out for not having a job yet. Says "Okay, is everything alright"? Angie smiles saying, "I don't mind getting your porn for you". Kit defends her self, "I am into fitness". Angie rolls her eyes and says, "Sure, you do that morning run every day." looking over at the empty ice cream carton in the trash. Kit frowns again, and says, "So when do you want me to leave"? Angie is surprised and asks, "What"? Kit lowers her head, murmuring, "I know this talk". Angie interrupts her, "Kit, stop. No I'm not kicking you out". She pauses, before finishing, "But you're in the city now". Kit rests her face on her arms waiting to hear a lecture about walking into the bar. She says "Sorry about last night." But it's muffled by her arm. Angie laughs and says, "Kit relax your not in trouble. But I would like you to go into Twilight books and meet my friend Spec". Kit smiles, thinking she's getting matched up and says, "OH", slyly. Angie gives her a pity smile and says, "He's a wolf". Kit's eyes get big then with a sad look whines, "But Angie". Angie shakes her head and says, "Kit, what Bill did was terrible. But not all wolves want that. That's why I want you to meet Spec". Kit is starting to cry from fear and says, "Please, Angie". Angie smiles, feeling sorry for her. Then stands up and leaves Kit at the table. Knowing her friend will follow. Kit's hands are shaking, and tears are running down her face. She's just staring into black space. Waiting on Angie to return and say, "April fools", or something that means it was just a cruel joke. But she never does. Kit just hears, "OK Kit now or never". Kit quickly replies, "Never". Angie laughs and says, "I shouldn't have said never because that wasn't an option". Kit growls at her. Angie walks back in, smiles, and says, "Kit you've had such a great time here. You've done a lot, more than I did when I first came here. You've been laid, got a boyfriend and dumped in a matter of time that felt like a day. You discovered your bi, and you also had your first lesbian experience. And you did all of that in a matter of four days". She smiles at Kit who's starting to feel better but still very nervous. She then says, "Now it's time for the biggest", pauses, "Getting over your fear of wolves. Hell you're a fox. We're cousins to wolves". Realizing Angie's not going to give up Kit very hesitantly says, "I want a reward". Angie smiles realizing she's won and replies, "Of course, and since this is a big step for you, a very big step." Kit nods and says, "Yes". Angie hugs her then gives her a kiss on the cheek and asks, "What would you like? It can be anything you'd want." Kit smiles and says, "Angie I miss the old you. Like how you were before you came here". Angie looks at her suspiciously. Kit then says, "I want you to find a safer job. That place is too rough. I also want you to start dressing cute again, not tough". Angie sighs but nods thinking hard. She turns around a walks back into her room. Seconds later she walks back in and says, "OK". Kit wasn't expecting that so she groans before standing up and putting her shoes on to leave. A little later they're standing on the sidewalk in front of the book store. Angie is standing with her arms crossed while. Kit stares the sign above the door. She's building her nervous up. Finally after what feels like forever, Kit sighs and opens the door. Angie stands behind her so she can't chicken out. As they walk in their greeted by Spec's assistant who smiles says, "Welcome to Twilight books. Is their something your looking for today"? Kit looks back at Angie nervously. Who just shakes her head, and says, "No thinks Cindy. This is my friend, Kit". Cindy smiles and says, "Well hello. You're that cute little girl that ran in here earlier". Kit bows her head and says, "Sorry I wasn't stealing anything". Cindy laughs and says, "We know". She then turns and goes back to her job. After Cindy has some distance between them Kit sighs, before looking up and filling with fear as she looks at the register, again. She's trying her best to move but her legs are frozen. She's shaking all over. Angie gives her a polite push and says, "Go on". Kit then begins shaking harder, with tears running down her face. Then her terror grows when Spec looks and sees them. He steps out from behind the register. He walks over to them and says, "Hey Angie this must be your friend". Kit quickly turns to run but runs into Angie. Who says, "No Kit". She takes Kit's hand and walks up to Spec. Kit's shaking even harder on the verge of bursting into tears. Spec sighs and says, "Hey Kit". Angie's holding on to her so she can't run. Kit desperately says, "OK Angie I changed my mind, lets go home". Angie didn't pay attention to her and smiles at Spec; telling without words it's as bad as it looks. Spec waits patiently; knowing if he says anything or does anything, it'll only hinder Angie's progress with her. Angie whispers in Kit's ear, "Kit please". Kit now crying says, "No. Angie". Then in desperation Angie says, "I'll work out for you". Kit shakes her head. She's pulling away as hard as she can but Angie is holding on to her. Kit cries a little harder. Spec turns around and beings talking to Cindy. Spec tells Cindy softly, "She has a paralyzing fear of wolves because of a accident when she was a cub. Some punk ass loner tried to rape her". Cindy nods. Spec continues, "We just need to wait. Not only is this a horrifying experience for her. It also has to be a pretty embarrassing one also". Cindy nods again and says, "We all have our fears". Spec nods and says, "Good". Angie finally says, "Kit if you don't do this. I'm taking your magazine" Kit freezes long enough for Angie to get a tighter hold on her. Angie whispers in her ear, "Me and you will take a long shower". That was to full fill a fantasy Angie's had since a pup. Kit starts to relax and says, "Angie if I do this. You have to do something for me". Angie says, "I'm quitting my job". Kit shakes her head and says, "No. Not just that now". Angie groans and says, "No that's all I'm doing. We had a deal". Kit then in a last desperation says, "Angie please..." with a big eyes and tears rolling down her cheek. Angie's not fazed and pulls her back towards spec. Angie tells to her, "Say Hi". Kit embarrassed and scared to death, but defeated says, "Hey". Spec looks at Angie and says, "You weren't kidding about the fear". Angie nods then replies, "Well it started out small but over time the fear grew. Now it's pure lupophobia". Spec trying to be less scary to her, sits in a chair. That's positioned in a group of four, with two on one side of a rectangular glass coffee table and the other two on the other side. There're a few stations like that in the front of the store so people can relax and read the books their wanting to buy or have bought. He motions to the chair across from him and says, "Would you like to talk"? Kit shakes her head. But Angie pocks her finger in her side and says, "Deal". Kit nods shyly. Angie smiles as she is proud of her friend. Kit sits down where he pointed, still staring at the floor. She don't want him to see her tears, and not looking at him is helping her confidence also. She also feels nauseas from the fear. She softly says, "I didn't know my fear had a name". Spec smiles and replies, "All fears have a name. Even fear of fear. It's called phobophobia". Angie sits beside her and holds her hand. Something that Spec thinks is only to help Kit. But Angie is also trying to make him jealous. Kit's still scared asks, "Do you all have the urge"? Spec looks at her confused. Angie nudges her. Who then says, "Sorry Spec, I mean do all wolves have a raping urge"? Spec shakes his head and replies, "No, as a matter of a fact just wolves that have been alone. Even then, only a few of them are like that. In other words he was just an ass". Kit replies, "How do I know"? Spec replies, "Yes sometimes we all cave to instinct but that's usually just for some meat. In the wild wolves have a mate or a pack, like a close family." Her shaking slowly calms down, some. They continue talking for a bit Kit's confidence growing by the minute. Before long Kit's fear has almost disappeared. Then Angie stands up and says, "Well we need to go. I have to keep my end of the deal". Spec being polite stands up and says, "Yeah"? Angie frowns and says, "I need to find a new job. I made a deal with Kit. She kept her end. I need to keep mine". This caused kit to smile. They walk to the door then Angie turns and says, "Hey Spec, I nearly forgot. Would you happen to have anymore openings"? He laughs and says, "Angie". She interrupts and points to Kit. Spec nods and says, "That's good I'd love to hire her but what about her fear"? Kit's mouth goes dry, not knowing what to expect. "They're lots of wolves that come in here. What is she going to do when that happens"? Kit shrugs. Then suddenly Cindy walks up and says, "Hey Spec, some help would be nice. I understand she has a fear but she's doing well with you. So maybe introduce her to friends that won't be bad till she starts getting more comfortable". Spec smiles and shakes his head, then says, "I don't really have any wolf friends". Cindy grins then says, "Well even better. Till some wolves shows up she won't have any problems. She can get over the fear on her own time". Spec looks at her frustrated, Cindy returns a big smile. He nods to Kit and says, "Well I'll think about it. Then give you a call back". He waves bye then goes to his office. Cindy shakes Kit's hand and says, "Good luck". Kit and Angie leave. A few minutes later their walking down the street and Kit looks at Angie. Who smiles back thinking she's just being adored. But Kit says, "Angie one thing I was wondering in there". Angie nods motioning her to go on and ask. Kit says, "How did you and Spec meet"? Angie smiles and replies, "I bent over and saw him checking out my tail. I knew then he wants me". Kit replies, "He didn't seem interested at all. Matter of a fact he kept looking at Cindy like something between the two is going on". Angie rolls her eyes and says, "Nah. She didn't work there then. Also he was just looking at her to make sure she was doing her job". A bit of jealousy washes over her face. Hinting to the fact she agrees something is going on between him and Cindy. Kit gives her a cute smile and says, "Sounds like someone is jealous". Kit rolls her eyes and replies, "No, I'm just telling you how things are. He wants me". Kit giggle but don't say anything else.
