"Miss Krystal! Miss Krystal!"
It was the start of another exhausting day for the blue vixen, facing a mixed crowd of panthermorph, lynxmorph and bobcatmorph kittens and fox, wolf and bear cubs in the predator section of New Eden's kindergarten.
After a long series of talks with Hannah, Chris had come to realize that his big mistake all along had been selfishness. His video game hobby had dominated his life to the point that he had been unable to connect with others, and he had chosen the blue vixen form not in the hope of exploring his feminine or animal nature, but solely in the hope of being admired by other gamers who recognized the image.
Chris still hated the idea of going back to his fat, pale nerd body and videogame-obsessed nerd life. Fortunately, the Park management realized that the children being born to anthros were going to need schooling, and offered selected anthros a chance to keep their new bodies if they agreed to undergo training and work as teachers. After another long talk with Hannah, and then with Jackie, Chris decided that this was the chance to break with his self-absorbed past. To make the break final, Chris decided to stay female and formally change her name to Krystal.
Her family was so impressed by the change from their lazy, asocial son to their busy, dedicated new daughter that they quickly got over Krystal's decision to change gender and species. Krystal threw herself into her new life and career.
The last Christmas, Krystal had received the latest video game system. It was still sitting in the box.
