Chapter 1 - Meeting

CHAPTER 1: The Meeting	

	It was a warm, crisp, summer evening at the park. The trees were slowly swaying in the wind and the park had grown silent with the absence of it's usual guests. The sun was leaving a soft orange glow in the western sky and the moon was starting to show itself on the opposite horizion as a lone girl cat sat upon a bench, watching the moon as it rose slowly into the sky. Her face reflected a look that showed she was deep in her thoughts. "What do I do now?" She questioned herself. She looked down at her watch, it reflected 9:37 back to her. She had wandered out of her house, but couldn't find a good reason to go back there, there was nothing there for her and her parents didn't care about her. She let out a sigh, a slight breeze blew against her, she shook her head, bringing herself out her thoughts once again. Then a figure appeared out of the corner of her left eye, a male wolf with snow white fur, which glowed in the reflection of the moonlight, stood near her, his view focused also upon the moon. Her curiousity perked as she felt her body turn to catch a better glimpse of this mysterious person, but she jolted as she saw him turn his head towards her and acknowledge her stare. 

	A streetlight flickered on as a male wolf walked underneath it and turned into the gates of the local park. He nervously looked left and right, his hands kept deep in his pockets, though he seemed confident enough to take a stroll outside he couldn't hide his true, shy and scared, nature. He continued at a slow pace, making his way around the park. He looked down at the sidewalk underneath him, watching it move underneath him with each step he took, "There's not much to do here," he thought, "but atleast it's nice to get away from the house now and then." He stopped walking and slowly lifted his head up towards the moon which still hung low in the sky, a gentle breeze came over him and he turned his head away from his view of the moon. He noticed a figure on the bench looking up towards the moon as well, silhouetted by the shadows, but still visable enough to show a female form. He turned his head quickly back at the moon, not wanting to be caught staring, but found his sight once again face towards the figure on the bench. This time he noticed her looking back at him, he gave her a slight nod. "I know I don't know this person, but maybe I can get to.." He slowly began heading towards the girl on the bench, he felt the wind at his back slightly pushing him forward towards her.

	The girl noticed his his movement towards her and felt herself begin to get nervous. "Is this guy going to sit with me?" She questioned herself as he continued his approach across the grassy ground that laid between them. Her eyes fixed themselves upon his as her mind began racing, but somehow, she didn't feel the need to be afraid of him. "Hi," the wolf said with a smile on his face. "H..hi," she found herself stuttering. "Man, he's pretty cute." She couldn't help but thinking to herself as he sat down next to her. "My name's Evan," he said sitting down. "Mine's Kari," she responded, finding herself unable to look away from his face. Something about his smile that comforted her. Evan looked into her shining blue eyes, he couldn't help but notice her beauty as she sat mere inches from him. He couldn't help but glace down for a split second at her clevage which seemed to stick out of her T-shirt. He pulled his eyes back up to her's hoping that she didn't see him looking at her like that. "So what are you doing out here?" Evan questioned her, tilting his head while doing so. "Well I'm just out here to get away from my family," a look of disgust crossed her face as the mere mentioning of them caused her to do so. "How about you?" She glanced over his body, eyeing him as she waited for his reply, her eyes went back up to his as he began to speak. "I needed to get out and clear my head," he looked out towards the moon, "I just don't know what to do right now with my life." Evan looked back at Kari, "So, umm," he stuttered as he thought about whether or not to continue on with his question. Kari looked at him with confused eyes. He leaned forward and his sight went down to the ground below them, and he pressed on with his question, "D..do you have a boyfriend?" Kari's eyes widened a bit and she found herself blushing. "No.. I don't," she answered him. She moved one paw to his shoulder and gave him a slight rub, letting him know it was okay to look up at her. He leaned back against the bench once again and looked over at her face. "I'm sorry Kari, it's just I've never asked a girl out and I don't know why exactly I decided to ask now." He let out a small chuckle. Kari felt herself giggle with him. "So, were you wondering if you could go out with me I take it then?" She smiled at him. He perked up, "Yeah," he said as a grin formed across his face.

	She stood up and looked down at him, their eyes still focused on eachother. "Sure, I'll go out with you." Evan quickly stood up next to her, both of them stood there, and turned towards the moon which now stood infront of a dark sky filled with stars. He turned towards her, "I might need you to teach me a thing or two about how to be a good boyfriend though." Evan laughed, though he knew he was being serious. "Alright then," she smiled at him, "here's your first lesson." She leaned towards him and gave him a kiss on the side of his muzzle. Evan's eyes widened in response to her sudden action, but he found his arms wrap around her and hold her tightly as they kissed for a minute. She leaned back and Evan let go of her. "That's some lesson," he grinned at her. "Just wait, there will be more," she let out a mischevious grin, "just not all at once." She leaned forward once again and gave him a small kiss. Evan wrapped one arm around Kari and pulled her close and she wrapped one around him as they both stared out towards the moon, basking in the glow it gave to them. He wasn't sure of what would be in store, but he sure was happy for what he had just gotten. "So any other lessons tonight?" He asked, a grin once again on his face. Kari let out a low purr, "Not tonight, but soon." She looked at him and smiled.
	
	They both laid down on the grass infront of the bench and looked up at the moon. Evan cautiously moved his paw toward Kari's, she saw this, and softly grabbed his, turned towards him and smiled. "It's okay to do small things since were going out now." She looked at him and smiled. He blushed and looked at their paws together. "Oh.. okay." He was always shy to people, but somehow he knew that he could open up to her, that he could tell her everything, and that he might learn about what it would be like to love someone with her.
