TF High Chapter 20: Fur-midable Foes
"Hold up …Brandi." Peggy Said as she stopped to catch her breath. "No Time, Miss Perkins could be anywhere in the school." "But we…Checked everywhere." Peggy replied. "What makes you think… she is still here?" "Because her car is still parked out front. Now come on we have got to find out what is going on here!" "Alright." Peggy said, as she began to get ready to run again. "It's times like this I regret not being on the track team." As the two girls begin running again the clock strikes seven.

In the school's gym the student gather for the home coming dance. Though very little dancing was actually going on, due to amount of space taken up by the Transformees,  particularly Toby Smalls who was talking with Ricky Boon. "I'm telling you Smalls you need to stop letting yourself get picked on so much. I mean you have got to be the biggest person I know and you still let that mouse of a so called vice principle scare you." "I couldn't help it, it's not like I feel threatened by him, He was just, just so small, and, and furry, and, and tho…those beady little eyes…I" "You Don't Have to explain to me Smalls you just need to step it up a little, I mean you're a 5 ton hunk of muscle for crying out loud."

Ricky Glances over the groups of students. "And speaking of loud mouths where's Rivers?" He asked. "Why? Do you want to ask her to dance?" Toby asked mockingly. "Shut Up Smalls." Ricky replied. "Hmmm sounds like you protest too much to me Boon…" Coach Grey Said as he walked up to the boys. " You know the worst thing that could happen to you is she'll say no." "Leave the Boy alone Robert." Came a sharp voice from behind the gym teacher. "I'm sure he'll ask when he is good and ready." Miss Perkins said, as she walked up with the punch bowl in hand.
"Why does everyone think I want to ask Rivers to dance? I was just wondering if I could get some study tips from her for my make up test." "Really?" Coach Grey asked sarcastically. "Well she's right there why don't you go ask her for those 'Study tips'?" Turning around Ricky Sees the now half Platypus Amy Rivers walk in, her white dress fitting perfect to form and seeming flowing over the floor. Ricky really had intended to asked her to dance and had a crush on her ever since he first saw her, not only was she still beautiful to him, but also intimidating. "I'll ask her later." Ricky Said.
"Can I get some Punch?" "Not until after the King and Queen are announced." Miss Perkins replied. " It's traditional to toast the two of them afterward, and trust me it'll be well worth the wait." She finished as she began filling plastic cups with the red liquid.

"We'll that's everywhere." Peggy said as the two girls stepped inside Miss Perkins office. "This can't be it." Brandi said as she began to move towards Miss Perkins Desk. "What Are you looking for in there?" Peggy asked as Brandi began to pry open one of the drawers. "I don't know…" Brandi replied, as she began to move the files around, "I'll let you know when I…See it." Brandi stops and pulls out a set of small glass test tubes. "Peggy take a look at this?" Peggy examines one of the tubes. "Oh my god…is this???" "The Alpha Virus."  Brandi finishes. "Why would Miss Perkins have this?" Peggy asks. "We can answer that later but we have to find her and fast!" Brandi said quickly "Why what's wrong?" Peggy replies. Brandi holds up the test tube container revealing an empty slot. "Because one's missing." She says before darting out of the room.

"This is pathetic. She looks like more of a dork than ever and I still can't ask her to dance." Ricky Boon Thought, as he watched Amy Rivers dance clumsily on the other side of the room. "Here", Miss Perkins said as she passed the student a cup. "They'll be announcing homecoming King and Queen soon enough; But don't drink it until then understand?" "Okay, okay, I got it…" Ricky said as he took the plastic cup form the pushy adult.

Turning back around Ricky met with the large reptilian face of Steve Wissler. "Sheesh, Steve you scared the hell out of me." "Sssorry Ricky, I waSss JuSsst NoticSssing your problem and thought I would come over to give you Sssome AdvicSsse." Steve said with some degree of difficulty. "And Why would I listen to a snake like you?"  "Look you may not like me, but I Ssstill know a thing of two, if you want to aSssk a girl to DancSsse JuSsst do it." "Really, how very interesting but I have more important things to do then to dance with Rivers." Ricky replied. "Oh and who Sssaid anything about Amy? Steve remarked. "Just shut up Wissler, I've got other things to do." Ricky said as he got up and began to walk towards a empty corner.

"Even Wissler is beginning to make sense, am I really so pathetic that the most hated guy in school can give me social advice?" Ricky takes a drink, and sits in an empty seat.  "So much for being worth the wait, this stuff is watered down as hell." Ricky said as he took a few more sips from the cup. "May I have everyone's attention please?" Miss Perkins  said so quietly it was barley heard through the speakers. "Can everyone pay attention please?" The dance continued with no change. "Everybody Quiet DOoOOooOOoown!" Coach Grey finally howled through the microphone, quieting the room instantly.

"Thank you Mr. Grey." Miss Perkins said. "Now without further ado, it is time to crown the homecoming King and Queen." "Big whoop," Ricky thought. "I wish it was time to turn up the AC it's burning up in here. As a matter of fact why am I so itchy?" After looking at his hands it was apparent to Ricky why he felt the way he did, His now paw-like clawed hands were beginning to be covered in black fur as his arm began to grow the same grey fur as the rest of his body.  "The winners are…" Miss Perkins continued not seeing the transformation taking place. " Sherry Stang and Bill Bell!"

The changes were happening quickly now, Ricky's feet became paw-like shredding through his shoes with their new claws, as his face pushed out into a short mussel and a black mask-like patch of fur began the grow around his eyes. "Now a toast to the King and Queen." Miss Perkins said as she lifted a glass, as the pressure began to build near the end of Ricky's tail bone. He wanted to shout out but couldn't through the pain. Everyone's glass headed towards the lips until the gym doors were slmed open.

"Don't drink the punch!" Brandi Hound yelled as she rushed in. "What is the meaning of this Miss Hound?" Miss Perkins asked. "The meaning of this is that your trying to infect the school, and you put the alpha virus in the punch to do it!" "She's right!" Ricky spoke up as the now half raccoon transformee rush out from the corner.  "It just changed me!" "You have no proof of that, there's nothing wrong with my punch." "Oh really?" Coach Grey asked, "Then why don't you have any in your glass?"

"Well there's a logical explanation for that…" Miss Perkins said right before jumping of the stage and starting to make a dash towards the door. "Some stop her!" Brandi Yelled. "Too late Hound!" Miss Perkins said. "Nobody can stop me now!" "GueSss who?" Steve Wissler said, as he moved his tail in front of Miss Perkins tripping the feeling felon and sending her face first into the bowl of punch.

The changes to place quickly, Miss Perkins came out covered in fur with long mussel filled with sharp canine-like teeth, and a bushy wolf's tail behind.  The half wolf turned around finding a angry Brandi Hound pouncing onto her. The two began exchanging blows as they rolled across the floor, till finally Brandi pinned her opponent. "It's over no more transformations!" "You think you've won beta will still infect this whole town long before you can stop it!" Miss Perkins said as she began to chuckle.

They  room became silent as a noise started coming from the pipes. "Funny you should mention that." Brandi said just before the fire sprinklers in on the ceiling turned on releasing a strong smelling liquid. "What is that?!?" Miss Perkins asked. "Well it turns out that Nurse Holly's tea is a perfect way of killing beta, so my friend Peggy thought it would be good to give a free sample to everyone at once via the fire sprinklers. Like I said it's over." "You little brat!" Miss Perkins shouted right before biting Brandi's shoulder, causing her captor to fall back. "Back off You hag!" Coach Grey Yelled as he bashed into the attacking half canine sending her flying backward. " I think you need to ReSsst awhile." Steve Wissler said as he began to wrap his body around Miss Perkins and mussel. Constricting her breathing until the villain passed out.

  The police had shown up finally, though they would have been quicker if they hadn't refused to come without the animal control unit. "I don't understand why you would do something like this Jasmine." Coach Grey told the straight jacket wearing half wolf. "Isn't it obvious I didn't give you those shots on your hand for nothing the other night." "That was you?" "Who else would it have been? I just wanted to us to be more alike, just like I wanted everyone else to be more alike." Jasmine Perkins replied. "It could've changed everything, no more war, no more inequality, just peace and love. Is that so wrong?" "There are other ways Jasmine!" Coach Grey remarked. "I just wanted everyone to be closer; I wanted us to be closer." "I can't be close to someone who would do something like this, good bye Jasmine."

"Wow, how sad…" Amy rivers said as she watched Coach Grey walk away. "Ahh she had it coming." Ricky Boon Said as he tried to sit down quickly readjusted to avoid crushing his new tail. "Man I hate this thing!" He said as he finally sat down. "You get use to it." Amy said. "But come on you don't think it's sad that they can't be together, haven't you every had anyone you wanted to be with?" "You know what rivers you're right." "As usual." Amy replied. "So would you like to dance.. ya know…with me?"  Ricky asked. "Um…well…sure." Amy said as the two got up and tried their best to dance with their oddly shaped feet.

A large group of students gathered around Steve Wissler congratulating him for his heroism. A few others passed out pool towels to help their fellow student dry off, others went to tall Sherry Stang the good news about her winning homecoming Queen even though she was still stuck in the girls bathroom. The paramedics were almost done stitching up Brandi Hound's bite wound, though the fur made it a little tricky.

"There we go, not quite as good as new but it'll heal nicely. Just try and stay out of trouble from now on Miss Hound." "Thanks I'll try and remember that." Brandi said as she jumped down of the back of the ambulance and walked towards her waiting friend. "Well that's another plot foiled." Peggy said in congratulations. "I guess so…" Brandi said. "You don't sound very convinced." Peggy replied. "What's wrong?" "It's just… If Jasmine Perkins had access to the beta virus why didn't she just flood the school with it? Why did she choose to use the alpha virus instead?" "Maybe because there isn't a known way of stop alpha?" "No that can't be right, she didn't know that the tea would stop beta either." "So what do you think? That she wasn't the one behind the beta outbreak?" "Maybe." Brandi said as the two stop stopped walking. "If it wasn't Miss Perkins than who was it?"

The room was dark except for a set of lit monitors on one wall, constant streams of data was shown on each one as a dark suited individual watched from his viewing chair. The door slid opened to a shadowy silhouette standing on the other side. "You're late." Arnold Wissler stated in his normal cool tone. "Jasmine was found out." A female voice replied. "She was always a bit unstable. It doesn't matter now anyway. Alpha and Beta our only steps, pieces to a whole." "And Gama?" the female voice replied. "We'll see." Wissler said as he turned his chair around. "For now did you get the data I asked for?" The figure stepped forward revealing a crisp white uniform dress woman holding a set of medical files. "More than enough." Nurse Holly Said as she placed the files on Wissler's desk. And began to walk back out the door. "Yes, well done, oh and Holly…" "Yes, Arnold?" Holly asked as she stopped "Welcome home.", "It's good to be home, sweetie."
