Sarah rode the bus with the rest of the team as they made their way to river city, the hometown of their next opponents The Vipers. River city got its name due to the fact that a natural river flowed through the heart of the city. Upon reaching the stadium, the team was greeted by a chorus of boos by the local fans of The Vipers. Before entering the stadium Sarah noticed one fan holding up a sign that read GO HOME CROSSOVER! Sarah didn’t know what it meant so she just continued on her way.

  Once again Sarah found herself sitting on the bench during the game, waiting for Coach Hooves to call her in to repce a teammate for whatever reason. The local fans still hurled boos at her, but that was to be expected. It was then that Sarah felt something hit her on the back of the head. She looked around and found that she had been hit by a rotten tomato.

  Sarah stood up and turned around to see who had thrown the tomato. She instantly spotted a hyena with a bag full of them.

  “Go back home to the human world, you filthy crossover!” The hyena shouted. He then hurled another tomato at Sarah.

  Sarah didn’t know what to think. How did this guy know that she was from the human world? Why was he throwing rotten fruit at her? At that point all of the anger that Sarah had repressed for years came bubbling to the surface. She picked up one of the tomatoes and threw it right back at the hyena. Sarah then jumped up into the stands and punched him right in the face.

  Most of Sarah’s teammates had to pull her down from the stands. She was instantly confronted by Coach Hooves. “FoxTail! What the fuck is wrong with you?!”

  By this point Sarah had become completely overcome with emotion. She burst into tears and ran back into the locker room. Coach Hooves followed after her. She found Sarah sobbing by her locker.

  “Sarah, what happened out there?” Coach Hooves asked.

  Sarah turned around and wiped away the tears from her face. “I don’t know what happened. This jerk was throwing tomatoes at me, and calling me a crossover. The next thing I knew I was in the stands and my fist was in his face. Why did he call me a crossover? What does that mean?”

  Coach Hooves let out a deep sigh. “Listen, you have probably been living entirely in the capital so you don’t know about this. There are pces in the WildLands that have a vocal minority that are opposed to humans coming over here. They refer to transformed humans like yourself as crossovers because you crossed over from one world to another.”

  “But I’ve only told a small handful of anthro animals that I’m from the human world. How did this Jackass know?” Sarah asked.

  Coach Hooves crossed her arms. “I don’t know. Maybe the computers at the central processing office were hacked. Anyway you just can’t attack a fan like that. You should have let security handle the situation.”

  Sarah then sat down on a nearby chair and pced her face in her hands. “I know, and I am so sorry.” Sarah then began to cry again.

  Coach Hooves walked over and pced her hand on Sarah’s shoulder. “I’ll have a talk with the owner of the team and expin your situation to her. Hopefully I can get your punishment reduced.”

  Sarah looked up at Coach Hooves. “You would do that for me? But why?”

  Coach Hooves simply smiled. “Let’s just say that we crossovers need to stick together.”

  The Warriors went on to beat The Vipers two to zero. After the game Sarah found out that her punishment for attacking the fan was a five thousand dolr fine and a three game suspension. During the bus ride home, Sarah was staring out the window when Lisa DarkCw sat next to her.

  Sarah looked over at Lisa. “Look, I’m really not in the mood to get into an argument with you.”

  “Actually, I wanted to thank you for punching out that jackass at the game. He had it coming.” Lisa said.

  Sarah’s interest peaked. “Oh? Why do you say that?”

  Lisa looked right at Sarah. “Because I’m a crossover too.”

  Sarah’s ears perked up. “You’re from the human world like me?”

  Lisa nodded her head. “I came here several years ago. I was only a freshman in highschool at the time. I excelled at sports, mostly because my parents pushed me to be the best. They cimed they did it because they only wanted the best for me, but to be honest they just wanted to live through my success. But they had their prejudices. They thought that homosexuality was the most disgusting thing on Earth. I was so scared of what they might do if they found out that I was a lesbian.”

  “What happened?” Sarah asked.

  “They walked in on me as I was making out with my girlfriend. They threw her out of the house and beat me, calling me a disgrace to the family. I was able to gather enough strength to run away and never look back. I headed into the woods and hid from them, but I knew that they would never call the cops. To them I was no longer their daughter, but instead some vile creature. It was then that I found the flower and arrived in the WildLands as my spirit animal. Since the first day I came here I swore that I would succeed at whatever I did, and that I wouldn’t let anyone stand in my way.”

  Sarah lowered her head. “My parents were the same way. They always pushed me to succeed and be the best, but no matter what I did it wasn’t good enough for them. They wanted me to have a steady job in I.T., but my dream was always to py professional soccer. In a way, coming to the WildLands was sort of a blessing.”

  Lisa leaned back in her chair. “I didn’t realize that we had so much in common. I’m sorry for being such a bitch.”

  Sarah looked over at Lisa. “That’s okay. If our roles were switched, I would probably act the same way towards you.”

  Lisa then extended her hand. “Peace?”

  Sarah smiled as she took Lisa’s hand and shook it. “Peace.”

  When the team bus arrived back in the capital Sarah got off only to find Rachel, Naomi, and Becky all waiting for her in the parking lot. Rachel immediately ran up and hugged Sarah.

  “Sarah, are you alright? I saw what happened on T.V.” Rachel asked.

  Sarah hugged Rachel back and smiled. “I’m okay, but you should see the bastard I punched out. By the way, my coach informed me that he learned that I was a crossover due to a computer hack at the central processing office.”

  Rachel closed her eyes and nodded her head.”Sadly, this is true. We are looking into the hack but rest assured something like this will not happen again.”

  “Were you punished for your actions?” Naomi asked.

  “Yeah. I received a five thousand dolr fine and a three game suspension. But hey, it could have been worse.”

  “If you ask me, that prick deserved it.” Rachel said.

  “Ugh, enough of this depressing talk! The reason we all gathered her is because we wanted to invite you to come with us on a girls night out!” Becky said.

  “That sounds great! I would love to hang out with you all tonight.”

  Becky jumped with joy. “Great! We’ll see you tonight!”

  Rachel then drove Sarah back to their apartment building. “Oh hey, do you know why William wasn’t with you when I got back?” Sarah asked.

  “He said he had something pnned for you at your apartment.” Rachel replied.

  This news made Sarah curious. She had given William a spare key to her apartment for emergencies, but when it came to stuff that William had pnned for Sarah he always left her surprised.

  When Sarah finally arrived back at her apartment, she opened the door and could not believe what she saw. Her apartment was filled with dozens of flowers, complete with roses in the shape of a giant heart in the center. William appeared from behind a doorway holding a single rose.

  “I saw what happened on T.V., and Rachel expined everything. I can never know what you are going through, and I will never know the horrible insult that it is to be called a crossover. Just know that I love you, and that I will always be here for you.”

  Sarah put her hands to her mouth as she struggled to hold back tears of joy. She then ran up and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

  “What did I do to have such a wonderful, loving, caring man come into my life?”

  William looked Sarah in the eye and smiled. “I ask myself the same thing about you.” William then kissed Sarah back and embraced her in his arms. The two then made their way to the bedroom where they made sweet love.

  That night Sarah and Rachel stood outside their apartment building, waiting for Naomi and Becky. Becky had texted them earlier saying that she had a surprise for them. Sarah wore a violet dress while Rachel wore a bck pantsuit. A limousine then pulled up in front of them with Becky standing out of the skylight wearing a sparkling pink dress.

  “Hey girls! Guess who rented us a limousine to use all night long!” Becky shouted.

  Sarah and Rachel both smiled and cheered with joy. “Alright Becky!” Rachel said. They then climbed into the limousine where Naomi was waiting for them wearing a yellow dress.

  “So where are we going first?” Sarah asked.

  Becky climbed back down into the Limousine and took a seat. “We are going to the hottest nightclub in the capital, The NEON JUNGLE!”

  Rachel’s eyes lit up. “The neon jungle?! I have wanted to go there ever since I came to the WildLands! But that pce is always packed, how did you manage to get us on the list?”

  Becky smiled and winked at Rachel. “Let’s just say I have my secret ways.”

  Sarah looked around at her friends. “Alright girls, tonight we run this town!” The four of them all cheered as the limousine took off.

  The limousine pulled up to the entrance of the neon jungle. The line to get in stretched all the way down the block and around the corner. Sarah, Naomi, Becky, and Rachel all got out of the limousine. Sarah was awestruck at the sight of the line. She walked up to Becky and put her hand on her shoulder. “Okay, time to work your magic.”

  Becky nodded and walked up to the rhino guard standing by the front door. She whispered in his ear, and the rhino opened the door. Becky turned and looked at her friends. “Come on girls, let’s get this party started!”

  Once they entered the neon jungle Sarah, Rachel, and Naomi were blown away by the sights and sounds. Strobe lights lit up the club with neon colors while pop/techno music bsted through the sound system. The four of them went straight to the bar where Becky called over the bartender. “Jello shots and keep them coming!”

  When they got their jello shots Becky raised her gss in the air. “A toast to friendship!” They clinked their gsses and slurped down their shots. After their second round of shots, Naomi received a text alert on her phone. She looked it up and her face lit up with a bright smile.

  “Naomi what is it?” Sarah asked.

  “You know that fellow waiter I told you about? Darby Forrest? Well I asked him out on a date and he just texted me back yes!”

  Sarah, Rachel, and Becky all cheered. “This calls for a celebration! Bartender, another round of jello shots!” Becky said.

  After finishing their third round of shots, Sarah looked over at Becky. “So what else is there to do here besides drink?”

  Becky smmed her shot gss down on the bar. “Oh! They have private karaoke rooms we can use! Follow me!” Becky then led the others across the club where there were a series of numbered doors. Becky took a key out of her purse and used it to unlock door number seven. Inside was a U shaped couch, a ft screen T.V., and a bck cquer table with a microphone and a remote control.

  Becky picked up the remote and brought up the song selection screen on the T.V. “So who wants to go first?” Becky asked.

  “How about you go first Becky?” Rachel said. “You have a great singing voice.”

  “Alright, if you insist!” Becky then picked up the microphone and began singing Barbie Girl by Aqua. When she was finished everyone appuded.

  Becky then handed the microphone to Rachel. “Alright, it’s your turn.” Rachel took the microphone and selected Sabotage by The Beastie Boys.

  Rachel bowed as she received a round of appuse. She then walked over to Naomi and gave her the microphone. Naomi sang Vacation by The GoGo’s.

  As everyone appuded Naomi went over to Sarah, but Sarah smiled and waved her off. “Oh no, I can’t.”

  “Come on Sarah! You can sing. I know you can!” Naomi said encouragingly.

  Rachel and Becky both chanted “Sing! Sing! Sing!”

  Sarah ughed and took the microphone. “Okay, I’ll give it a shot!” She stood up and selected Die Young by Kesha. When Sarah was finished, she received a standing ovation.

  After a few more songs (And a few more drinks) Sarah looked over at Rachel and Becky. “Well that was fun. What’s next?”

  Becky and Rachel looked at each other and smirked. “Strip Club!” They shouted in unison.

  Sarah threw her hands in the air. “Hell yeah! Let’s go!” They all then left the club and got back into the limousine. As the limousine drove down the street, Sarah stood up through the skylight and shouted “I’m a crossover! Kiss my ass!”

  The Limousine arrived at a strip club called The Magic Hour. After everyone got out of the Limousine, Sarah pulled Rachel aside. “Um Rachel, I don’t mean to pry but if you’re a lesbian how are you going to have a good time at a male strip club?”

  Rachel smiled and patted Sarah on the shoulder. “I have been here before. Trust me, they have special services for customers like me.”

  Upon entering the strip club, Sarah was amazed at the number of stages with male strippers working the poles. Sarah, Naomi, and Becky all took a seat around a vacant stage while Rachel went off to a private room.

  A male leopard then walked out on stage wearing a tuxedo. Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard started to py and the leopard began to strip, tearing off his tuxedo piece by piece. The girls all screamed as he flexed his bulging muscles. Becky took out a big roll of cash from her purse and made it rain. When the leopard was down to his thong (Which barely contained his massive shlong) Naomi became so excited that she nearly fainted.

  The leopard then brought a chair onto the stage. “Which of you lucky dies would like a p dance?” He asked.

  Becky jumped up and down and pointed to Sarah. “This girl! Right here!”

  Sarah’s eyes went wide. “Becky, I have a boyfriend!”

  “He’ll understand! Besides, you deserve this!”

  “Well…Okay!” Sarah reached up and took the leopard by the hand as he helped her up on the stage. Sarah sat in the chair as the leopard posed and flexed his muscur body just inches from her face. If Sarah’s face wasn’t covered with fur, everyone could see her blush as the leopard shook his massive dong in her face.

  Sarah took a twenty dolr bill out of her purse and then pulled back the leopard’s thong. She inserted the twenty dolrs and let go of the thong, which hit the leopard’s thigh with a loud snap.

  Becky was next to get a p dance, followed by Naomi. After the girls had their fun, they decided to get one st round of drinks and call it a night. When Sarah finished her margarita, she decided to go looking for Rachel. After asking around Sarah found Rachel in a private room with a female cougar rubbing her massive breasts in her face.

  Sarah coughed into her hand. “Uh Rachel, I hate to interrupt your fun but Becky, Naomi, and I are really drunk and are ready to call it a night.”

  Rachel let out a deep sigh. “Alright, let me do one st thing.” Rachel then twirled her finger and the cougar turned around, sticking her ass in Rachel’s face. Rachel then took both of her hands and smacked the cougar’s ass cheeks. Rachel reached into her pocket and pulled out a fifty dolr bill and tucked it in between the cougar’s breasts.

  “Consider this a nasty little girl tip.” Rachel said with a wink and a smile.

  When everyone climbed back into the limousine the driver proceeded to drive them all home. Naomi was dropped off first. She thanked everyone for a great time and promised to let them know how her date with Darby Forrest went. Becky was dropped off next, saying that they should do this again soon. Sarah and Rachel were dropped off st. As soon as Sarah entered her apartment, she colpsed on her bed and fell asleep.

  The next morning Sarah woke up feeling terrible. Her mouth was as dry as a bone and she had a throbbing headache. After taking some aspirin and drinking lots of water to rehydrate Sarah took a long, hot shower. After getting dressed Sarah decided to check in on Rachel and thank her for the night before. She went down to her apartment and knocked at the door, only to find that it was open.

  Sarah poked her head into the apartment. “Hello? Anybody home?” She called out. It was then that Sarah heard moaning coming from Rachel’s bedroom. She walked over and slowly opened the door. Sarah peeked inside and saw Rachel ying on her bed with her arms stretched out and her head thrown back. Most of her body was covered by her bed sheets, but Sarah could tell that there was something or someone underneath.

  It was then that Rachel looked toward the door and saw Sarah. She instantly let out a brief scream. “What are you doing here?!” Rachel yelled.

  Sarah brought up her hands. “I am so sorry! I just wanted to check up on you, but when you didn’t answer I got curious.”

  “Well as you can clearly see I am busy.” Rachel said with an irritated look on her face.

  Sarah crossed her arms and smirked. “Oh? And who’s the lucky dy?”

  The subject under the covers rose up and pulled away the sheets to reveal themselves as Lisa DarkCw. “Hello Sarah.” Lisa said with a smile.

  Sarah was so shocked that her jaw practically hit the floor.
