Sammy and Jessy joined in some of the fun and activities in the gym that Tony and Trini ran. It was fun and allowed for activities of jumping, running, and giggling that baby furs seemed to enjoy. Sammy's comment on helping the first fur make friends faster was, in a way, true, as getting some system that would give them more control over their powers and allowing them to allow "not-friends" to actively make the choice to be "friends" and not feel like the change was being forced on them. And part of him was still aware that making friends didn't necessarily mean that people had to become Baby Furs in order to be "friends." He might not be able to tell what the economic level or even race that other Baby Furs had been at before their transformations, but he could remember that on many levels there were friendships that went across these boundaries. They may not be as complete and total as they were among Baby Furs, but they were there all the same.
After a while of running and jumping and even peddling on a plastic exercise bikes and running through the jungle gym that amounted something like kids would play on a school playground, which was fun, the session did eventually end. As they made their way out Sammy and Jessy made their way out with Tony and Trini.
"Did you guys have fun?" Tony asked.
"It was ggrrrrRRRRREAT!" Sammy cheered, mimicking the cereal icon that Tony was similar to, in a way, since Tony was a Tiger Baby Fur.
Tony and Trini both giggled, "Good luck with everything. Say hi to the first fur when you find her."
"We will," Jessy promised and the two of them began walking again.
They had the goal to get to Miami, or "My-yam-me" as Baby Furs pronounced it, but that would likely require another bus ride to get there. So with that, Sammy and Jessy began to walk along looking for a bus stop where they would be able to get a ride south out of Jacki Ville. As they walked along, Jessy glanced over to Sammy, her bestest friend, with a good deal of curiosity and pondering.
"So, Sammy," Jessy began, "what all do you think the first fur can do when we find her?"
"Hopefully give some stuff on how our powers came to be and work," Sammy answered, "help us make friends faster but under control... Let normal humans learn we mean no harm and make the conscious choice to be friends and maybe even work and live together and be friends even if they don't decide to become Baby Furs. That sort of thing. They wouldn't fear us that way."
"But they'd still become friends?" Jessy asked.
"In the end... yeah, but if they aren't afraid to become friends, they won't be scared," Sammy answered, "they won't feel forced to do anything or feel that they're losing something."
Jessy nodded, as the idea did sound good, and would make friends quicker in the long run, and some of Sammy's thoughts that their powers were magic rang with her. It then made her wonder on just what the first fur could really do. Every Baby Fur seemed to be based on some animal, which made them all cute in their own way, and while she privately thought Sammy as a Fox Baby Fur was very cute, Jessy also wondered if maybe there would be a way to get a Baby Fur that might be based off of something other than animals that already existed.
"Do you think she'd be able to make friends are my-ti-cal?" Jessy asked, trying to say mythical at the end.
"Mytical?" Sammy asked back.
"Yeah," Jessy nodded, "Like a griffon Baby Fur... or a dragon... a mermaid... or even a fairy."
Sammy titled his head with some pondering at what his bestest friend had offered.
"A mermaid Baby Fur?" Sammy asked, "how would she wear a diaper without legs?"
"Maybe tied around her," Jessy answered, "I dunno. But it'd all be cool, don't you think?"
"Maybe," Sammy answered, "but we'd still need to know how all our powers work and where they came from."
"Do you think you'd rather be a fox or something mytical?" Jessy asked.
"I like being a fox," Sammy answered as he paused in his walk to pull Jessy into a hug, "but I'd be whatever you'd want me to be."
"Oh... Sammy," Jessy smiled back, shedding tears of joy without knowing it, and returned her bestest friend's hug.
