Father's Day was going to be a hot one this year. Quite literally since there was a heatwave and the summer solstice meant temperature will remain at a peak for a while. Of course, it also had a figurative meaning here. As the Animalian virus is capable of restoring people to their primes, not to mention improving musculature far more than they had when they were human, 'dad bod' has a different meaning in Animalia. As such, the Father's Day Shoot gained just as much attention as the Mother's Day shoot.

Ulysses and Olly were mainly there to provide some fanservice photos for their respective wives. After all, Blueberry and Meryl had been kind enough to provide Mother's Day photos for them. Ulysses certainly didn't expect giving photos like these to his wife beforehand. Of course, Nate's mother hadn't stuck around long and Ulysses didn't have a body that was really worth showing off.
Olly had a different problem. As a mule offspring of a Ardennes mare and a mammoth donkey, he was quite huge and very muscular. Add the confirmation that mule Animalians are capable of breeding and he had quite a lot of fangirls wanting to take a peek at his legendary package. Even his repeated remarks that he was a father and married didn't deter them much.
"Since when do women get so carried away about mules?" complained Olly after shooing away another lot of them.
"Well, both jacks and stallions have reputations for being very well hung," said Ulysses.
"Which isn't wrong, but I have a wife," said Olly with annoyance, "Aren't there any other mules they can bother?"
"Not since Reggie got married," said Ulysses, "How's Nelly?"
"Her foal's coming along fine," said Olly, "At least she can stop trying to compete with me and Meryl."
Ulysses chuckled and said, "Oh, I'd say the competition's only begun. She'll probably be wanting to prove her foal's better than yours."
"With her competitiveness, you'd think we were half-racehorse instead of half-draft horse," remarked Olly.

After Jeff's high school graduation, his father and stepmother wanted to talk with him. "So, Jeff, I suppose you're officially an adult now," said Andrew.
"In at least a few ways," said Jeff.
"You'll be heading to college soon," said Andrew.
"UNLV most likely," agreed Jeff.
"Are you planning on moving into a new place with Zoe?" asked Kinjara.
"I'm not sure if we're going to get that serious," said Jeff.
"I've known Zoe a few years," said Kinjara, "She's been with other guys before. But you go better with her than all of them. You just might be meant for each other."
"Well, I'm not sure if we're ready for marriage," said Jeff, "We've still got college."
"That's quite alright," said Andrew, "But there may be other additions to the family before that."
"Wait...are you..." started Jeff.
"Not just yet," said Kinjara, "But we were planning on trying for our own cub soon. If that's not a problem with you."
"You'd think I'd get jealous of a new half-sibling?" asked Jeff, "I'm more wondering why you haven't had one yet."
"Because you're still living here and it would be...awkward if you heard us trying to conceive," said Andrew.
"Dad, I have a cat's hearing," said Jeff flatly, "Not to mention a cat's nose. I'm quite aware of when you two are having sex. The only difference is that you're actively trying to mate."
"I, uh, guess so," said Andrew, a little embarrassed.
"You and Zoe are still invited to have fun with us," said Kinjara.
"No," said Jeff and Andrew flatly.

"I dunno, Dad, a bachelor party's kinda... counter-productive," said Philip.
"You're not going to be cheating on Joanne any more than I'm going to be cheating on Nicole," said Lars, "We're just loosening up before the big day."
"Does it have to be in a strip club thought?" asked Philip.
"Hey, your future mother-in-law works at the Meat Market. You need to respect it," said Lars.
"Wait... she's going to be performing there, isn't she?" asked Philip.
"Yep," said Lars.
"Joanne's going to be there too, isn't she?" asked Philip.
"That's a safe bet," said Lars.
"Isn't there a tradition or rule that the brides-to-be can't be at the bachelor's party?" asked Philip.
"It's not the day of the wedding," said Lars, "Besides, traditions are meant to be reinvented with time. There's no chance you'll be cheating on your vixen. Unless they dress up as each other."
"I think we can tell which is which," said Philip.
"Also, you should know that your... that Morgan is going to be there too," said Lars.
"Is this her last punishment?" asked Philip.
"It's supposed to be," said Lars.
"She's not going to provide entertainment, is she?" asked Philip.
"Well..." said Lars.
"Dad, I can put up with a lot. But I literally won't be able to stomach my own mother performing at a strip club," said Philip.
"We'll...make sure you can go in the back if you need to," said Lars sympathetically. He didn't want his ex-wife's karmic justice ruining a good night for his son. Especially when he was going to be his father-in-law soon.
