Max was the first to arrive at the farm. He looked just as bewildered as I had when I showed up so many months ago. I'd worn the new overalls-styled romper that Carolyn had gotten for me, both because the denim was secretly extra soft and stretchy, but it also pretty perfectly showcased my fuzzy legs. I felt a warm satisfa as Max struggled to trol his gaze.

  "Hey Max." I swished my tail pyfully, enjoying the way the movement grabbed his attention like a ser pointer for a cat.

  "Hi Maddie." He seemed timid, and I could hardly bme him.

  "Wele to the dairy, The admin building is behihe barn is over there, obviously,--" I gestured at the gigantic red wood-paructure, "and the ic is oher side of the admin building. I'll fess that I'm a little bit zy, so I'm pnning to do the proper tour once Ellen is here. Are you hungry?"

  Max opened his mouth but hesitated. He, like me, had worn a hoodie and was hiding his hands in his pockets just like I had, but in trast, I wasn't as nice as Deyha.

  "We have human food in the barn, though I ick a bottle for you if you're thirsty."

  "N-no, that's alright. Uh… human food would be nice."

  "Coht this way." I held out my hand, expeg him to let me take his suitcase for him, but he shuffled around, taking my hand in his instead. I didn't mind the mixup, and I was eveed to interce our fingers for fun, but I decided I'd been cruel enough for the first hour of his visit. Well, almost. I still indulged in a harmless brush of my tail on his leg, as we walked.

  He didn't say anything for a few seds so I broke the silence. "Something that I didn't uand when i visited was that this farm is kinda double purpose." I gestured past the admin building as roached the barn. "The ic over there is a specialist facility, serving most of the tristate area with modding solutions for all manners of issues. I couldn't tell you for sure how much of it is recreational modding or medically necessary, but it does receive gover funding to support the unity in general."

  I looked at Max, he only nodded in response. He hadn't stopped blushing since he first saw me, so I figured he was well and truly out of sorts. I dropped his hand to open the barn door and gave him a moment to take in the sights. The downstairs area retty empty right now.

  "Xander?" Max seemed bewildered, and Xander mirrored this as she looked up from her phone. "Max? Holy shit, Hi! It's been forever!"

  "You two know each other?" I followed, colleg Max's fotten suitcase as he ran to embrace Xander.

  "Ow, easy, I'm hooked up right now."

  "Oh, shit, sorry." He released her. His blush was ba ear as she adjusted her snuggie and sat back down.

  "So you're the friend Maddie has been telling me about? I'm so happy for you! Carolyn's the best at modding, and now that she's modded Maddie she's pretty good at the gender affirming stuff too."

  I coughed, "Uh, Xander, You're thinking of Ellen."

  "Oh shit," She ughed and scratched the back of her head. "Sorry, Max I just assumed-- I mean, no offe--" she stammered for another sed "I'm just gonna shut up now."

  Max ughed, seeming to finally be more at ease now.

  "It's fine Xaotally fine. How have you been? I'm sorry but-- gods… I kinda burned all my bridges after high school. I never worked up the ce to look you up again."

  "Haha, yeah, I had a feeling. I mean, you're here now, so I assume you've made a few good choices sihen, right?"

  "Oh, for sure." Max beamed.

  "Soooo how do you two know each other?" I sat down across from Xander, leaving the other side of her couch as the only spot for Max. He seemed to be uain of what to do until she patted it.

  Xander looked across at me. "So, ba high sax and I were the leaders of the Magical Friendship fan club--"

  "Xander?" Max pushed at her shoulder but she just pushed him back.

  "Chill out, Max. Look at her. Do you seriously think she's going to judge you? Anyways, the people who got into that show went one of two ways, really queer, or really--" Xander g Max, "Anyways, what have you been up to?"

  Max groaned. "Okay, okay. I fell into some bad online social circles after high school, and when I went off to college and got to know some bad people in person… It holy took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that it was a hate group, or at least that it roblem. I went pretty angry and lonely, but I got lucky, made some good friends, and learned some empathy. I ected with Maddie and Ellen, and now I'm in a better pce."

  "That's so cool!" I made happy little cps. "I love when my friends are friends. Here, I'll let you two catch up a bit and take this up to the guest room. Would you like me to take your backpack up too?"

  "Oh! Uh, sure. Thanks, Maddie."

  I took the backpad headed for the stairs. I was desperately curious about what they would talk about, on top of being nervous about what I'd said to Xander about Max. I doubted Max would be all that mad at me, but it wouldn't do anyone any favors if Xander had a ck of tact. Once I'd delivered Max's things, I peeked back over the railing. The two were talking pretty animatedly, though I couldn't quite hear them over the AC.

  The important thing was that Max was fortable. The more familiar faces here, the more likely Carolyn's ploy to indoate my friends would succeed.

  I sidered the show Xander had brought up. Max had certainly never mentio but I had seen the implosion of its fandom. It seemed safe to assume that with Xander here, and their on i in a show about talking horses… Max would fit i, I just needed "him" to feel safe here.

  I watched a minute longer before realizing that my lurking had long siurned a er toward being creepy and obsessive. All I really o do was not fuck this up-- and also keep Carolyn from going hammer mode on eggshells.

  Luckily, I had the perfect solution to remove both of those variables. I debated spinning a spiracy, telling Deyha to say she couldn't drive to the airport and asking Carolyn to take me instead… but asking Deyha to lie to Carolyn was a terrible pn.

  With the fun spiracy off the table, my only real option was to y the cards out for both of them. I opened roup chat and got to work.

  I shuffled my hooves on the floorboard. I was feeling self scious as I sed the crowd of normal people at the airport terminal. Carolyn, in trast, projected the same self-assured persona that had captivated me at the job fair. I was nowhere near adopting that level of cool posure.

  I checked my phone, refreshing notificatioedly while Carolyn pulled up to the curb. We'd brought the pany truck, so the branding would help Ellen find us, but it was also bound to attract attention from other onlookers, right?

  "You're freaking out." Carolyn brought me out of my thoughts.

  "No I'm not.-- I mean maybe a little, but--"

  She untched my seatbelt and pulled at my leg, promptio scoot to the ter se of the bench seat. The gear shift vibrated between my legs, and I had to hold my knees apart to keep from toug it. Carolyn draped her arm over my shoulder.

  "Do you o be distracted?" she whispered in my ear, pairing the suggestion with a hand on the inside of my thigh.

  "What if someone sees?" I whined and she curled her hand, digging in her nails and scratg just below the hem of my romper.

  "Maddie's first ticket for publidecy, the first of many I'd wager." She slipped her thumb uhe hem for just a moment before releasing me and hitting the unlock button on her door.

  The passenger door opened and I saw Ellen. She looked great, perhaps a bit travel worn, but she had the cutest cut off sweater and sants bo that showed off a band of smooth skin, "Hey Maddie!" she beamed, oblivious of the versation she'd walked in on.

  "Hi Ellen," Carolyn spoke for me, doing a small wave before resting her hand on my leg again. "There should be space for your suitcase behind your seat."

  Ellen opehe sed door aed her bags onto the seat.

  inally, I'd expected that I would ride in the back, but Ellen hopped up beside me, trappiween her and Carolyn as she closed the door and reached for her seat belt

  "Uh, Maddie? Your tail."

  "Hmm? Oh, sorry." I pulled it further into my p, and dug my seat belt out from between the cushions. "Sorry", I apologized again, as my tail flopped into her p while I shifted to find the spot to buckle in.

  Carolyn was smiling at me, her eyes gleaming with predatory i. She looked at me, even as she talked to Ellen. "I should expin first that Maddie is being trained not to say 'sorry' all the time for silly things."

  "Oh?" Ellen sounded unbearably amused.

  "Carolynnn" I whined.

  She tinued, unmoved by my plea, "That means that whenever she says it, she gets bitten."

  "And that vinces her not to do it?"

  "You know? I don't think it's w, but I don't think it was ever a results-orieraining regime."

  I yelped as I felt a piny tail, and Carolyn burst out ughing.

  "Ellen?" I turned and yanked my tail out of her grasp, leaving myself wide open as Carolyn hugged me into a sort of headlock. I filed instinctively but she held me firm.

  "Ah ah ah," Carolyn cooed. "Hold still."

  I whimpered and kicked at the dash as she bit the top of my ear, one of her softest bites yet, and dragged it lightly before letting me go.

  "Evil." I pouted and folded my arms. "Evil evil evil, the both of you."

  They tio ugh at my expense as Carolyn shifted the truto drive aed her hand on the inside of my thigh.

  Ellen nudged me with her shoulder. "You rest your tail ay p if it's more fortable."

  "I don't trust you."

  Carolyn shifted gears before resting her hand in my p again, fully palming my thigh. "Maddie." Carolyn spoke as if discussing the weather. "Rest your tail in Ellen's p. I don't want you to bump the gearshift by act."

  I obeyed. Chewing my lip as Ellen Immediately began stroking it, bing the fine hairs bato pce with her nails as I buried my hands in my p.

  "In fact," Carolyn tinued. "If you don't mind, It would be really nice if you held Maddie's , just so she doesn't cause an act."

  "Oh, It's no trouble at all." Ellen's hand mirrored Carolyn's, soft against my skin as she brushed her thumb where the fur began.

  "Jesus fug christ." I swore under my breath as Ellen gleefully made the teasing a dogpile.

  "Language." She scolded me, pairing the admonishment with a firm pull on my tail.

  I gasped, I imagined I could already feel myself soaking through my panties and romper, but I didn't have to imagihe leaking on my shirt.

  Carolyn giggled. "Oh, Ellen, I tell we are going to get along swimmingly." she squeezed my thigh. "Maddie? Are you okay with having some pytime with my new friend?"

  "Fuck." I whimpered.

  "That's not an answer." She chided.

  I shook my head.

  "No? Pity--"

  "Yes." I interrupted. Feeling an unbearable need carved into my core.

  "Oh delightful." Carolyn cooed, "Ellen, my pet is at your disposal, I only ask that you heed her if she asks you to stop."

  "Yes Ma'am."

  "Oh, and… don't cause an act."

  "Is she proo wetting herself?"

  Carolyn cackled. "A car act. The wetting is a feature."

  "Excellent." Ellen turned in her seat, releasing my tail to an arm around my shoulder. Her other hand nded much further north on my thigh.

  "Ellennnn" I whined, but like Carolyn, she grinned in reply.

  "Maddieeee." she mocked me as she pushed the straps of my romper off my shoulders. I began tret not wearing a shirt between my bra and romper as she trailed her hand up to squeeze my chest.

  I whimpered, struggling to sit still and not kick my feet. "Could you please not waste my milk?"

  Ellen pulled my romper down, pg her hand on my belly. I only had a sed to rex before she was w her fingers uhe estid and pulled my bra up.

  "Ellen?" I arched my back, my arms got tangled up iraps of my romper, so I was uo stop her as my tits dropped into my arms. "What are you doing?"

  "Making sure your milk doesn't go to waste, of course." With no further preamble, she pulled me toward her and scooped up the breast, sealing her lips and sug.

  "Seems like you weren't very careful with your phrasing." Carolyn tio hold my thigh down, but didn't even spare us a gnce as she tinued driving. "Be good, Maddie. She's probably thirsty after her flight."

  Ellen ughed. "I've been thirsty since you sent me pictures a month ago."

  "You poor thing." I spoke through ched teeth, burying my hands between my thighs again so as not to bump the gear shift.

  I focused on the road ahead and tried to just breathe, but the sensations shortcut any sort of scious trol I might have had over my body. I panted, leaning bato the seat aing my eyes drift closed for just a sed.

  That pse was enough for me to lose focus, basking in the sensations instead of ign them as Ellen squeezed hard. She released me for a moment, returning her hand to hold my thighs apart as I caught my breath. Familiar cravings were ing my body. I disentangled my arms so that I could slip one uhe front of my romper, but Ellen caught me.

  "Ellennn…"

  She pulled the arm up and over her head, ing it around her shoulder as she worked her hand down the front of my romper instead.

  "Sit still, pet." Carolyn warned and I spread my legs. I pced my hand over Carolyn's but she covered it, tinuing to hold my thigh in pce.

  "Shhhh" Ellen cooed, "rex, Maddie."

  She reached my underwear, rubbing over the top for only a sed before she slipped uhem too.

  I melted, my gasps turned into soft cries and pleas as she curled her fingers into me, sending fshes of pleasure up my spine. Carolyn released my leg for a sed, and theoo was using both of her hands on me, grabbing a fist full of my hair in one hand while her other palmed my chest. the truck shook occasionally as cars whizzed by, just a few feet away.

  I writhed uheir bitention for ay, straining my hips and back to feel Ellen's fingers just that little bit deeper, my foot hit a pedal causing the eo roar for a sed before Carolyn kicked me off of it.

  "Good thing I pulled over…" she grumbled into my ned she pinched one of my nipples, pulling up until I screamed and crashed. I cmped down on Ellen's fingers, curling in on myself as sparks ricocheted down my arms and legs. I hugged her arm to my stomach, fling as she tio wiggle inside of me.

  "Ellen~" I gasped. "Please~"

  "Please what?"

  "Stop~"

  Finally, her fingers stilled and Carolyn rexed her grip on my chest.

  "Jesus Christ" I gasped.

  "Why don't you swear on something real?" Ellen asked.

  "What?" I felt bleary and fused as I tried to fix my bra.

  "I just find it weird how you call out for christian gods when you're indisposed."

  "I figured it's safer to swear on something imaginary so it doesn't piss off any real authorities." I rubbed my fad fidgeted to resituate my romper. "Thanks." I murmured as she helped me fix the straps of my romper.

  "You're wele babe," She chirped, and I wondered for a sed what she thought I was thanking her for.

  "You're both so fug evil." I slumped in my seat.

  "Well," Carolyn patted my knee and turned back to the steering wheel, "If I have any say iter, I expect you'll have all the time in the world to get your revenge."

  "grats," I mumbled to Ellen. "That legally stitutes a job offer."

  Ellen ughed as Carolyn tried to backpedal.

  "Kidding, kidding," I sat up and checked the GPS. We hadn't even made it out of the airport, and now I was going to be soaked the whole trip. "Deyha still gets a say iter, but I tell you and Carolyn have bonded over your shared i in t me."

  "Oh? Should I get in her good graces the same way?"

  I squi Ellen. Instead of replying, I slipped my hand into her p, resting it on the inside of her thigh as she had on me before. "I'd advise against it."

  "Is that some sort of threat?"

  "All I'm saying is the st time she weled a sweet, i girl to the farm she ended up with a sed brat on her hands. She's uo fall for the same trick twice."

  "You? Sweet? I?"

  I pinched her thigh and smirked as she jumped and shoved my hand off her p.

  The rest of the trip passed retively calmly. There lenty of flirting aing, but my offer to blow her in the back seat olitely deed; leaving me as the only soaked and frustrated traveler when we pulled bato the farm. I excused myself to shower and milk a like I'd had a nice reset as I rejoihe gang in the barn.

  Ellen, Max, Deyha, and Xander were in the middle of a bame, "Settlers of Ta". There wasn't a good pce to pull up a chair, so I debated whose p I wao climb into. Deyha seemed to read my mind as I approached, and she held her arms open to accept me as I snuggled up. I'd picked out a cropped sweater and sleep pants to match Ellen's travel outfit and I was feeling remarkably plush and fy about it.

  "Who's winning?" I surveyed the board, cheg which color each of them ying as, and then doing the math on hooints they each had. It took eleven to win, and nobody had more than seven, so I figured they were about halfway in.

  "Looks like it's Max for now." Xander smirked. "But I'll catch her in no time."

  My eyebrows shot up, and across from me I saw Ellen take a special i in the choice of words as well. Max however, was staring pointedly at the board, blushing but seeming happy. Deyha for her part said nothing, pig up her cards to show me that she already had two secret victory points that put her in the lead at eight.

  "So how are you liking the farm?" I twisted in my p to address Max as well as Ellen.

  "It's nice." Max replied first. "I see why you like it here."

  "I agree, It's super great. Is it just one big polycule? Or--"

  Deyha and Xander burst out ughing.

  "No, Ellen--" I deadpanned. "-- Carolyn, Deyha, and I are together, and that's the only polycule here that I know of."

  Xander gasped. "Maddie! I thought what we had ecial!"

  I rolled my eyes and looked over to her. "So special. You're very dear to me, but I was referring to more intimate entas."

  Xander held up a hand and stage whispered to Max and Ellen. "Not everyone has mao seduce Maddie."

  "What, like it's hard?" Ellen smirked and I flushed as the table erupted in ughter.

  "What did I say about t me to get on Deyha's good side?" I folded my arms and stared across at Ellen.

  "When did this e up?" Deyha held my waist and I turned in her p to look at her.

  "At the airport, when Ellen and Carolyn dogpiled me!"

  "Oh you poor thing." Deyha cooed and hugged me.

  "Listen," Ellen held up her hands, Ign me as I squi her. "Carolyn reminded Maddie that she could say 'stop', but she didn't."

  I turned away and ed my arms around Deyha. "I did, actually."

  "Oh, my mistake," Ellen ughed, "but you should tell them when you asked me to stop."

  I shook my head.

  Xander was cag now, just like Carolyn would.

  "Maddie?" Deyha spoke. "Did Ellen stop when you asked?"

  I buried my fa her chest and nodded.

  "When did you ask her to stop?"

  I shook my head.

  "Madeline…" her tone ainfully familiar, exactly as pyful as it had been when she made me pull up my dress in the lobby.

  "After she made me cum." I whispered.

  "What? Speak up."

  I sat up and squi her. I couldn't believe how badly this had backfired on me. "I told her to stop after she made me cum."

  "Iing, I didn't know she was that kind of friend to you." Deyha smirked.

  I turo look at Ellen. "I didher until about five minutes after she got iruck."

  Ellen, predictably, did not seem remotely abashed.

  "Well obviously, she ought to move out here and join us." Deyha spoke over my head and I hid my fa her chest.

  "Obviously." I echoed, much to her amusement. "Don't invite her unless you're willing to make the same offer to Max."

  "Oh? Are they a package deal?"

  "Don't be a butt." I grumbled and pulled her tighter.

  Deyha ughed and rubbed my back. I hated to admit it, but it was very soothing.

  "Well, you heard Maddie, You're both io join us if you'd like."

  "Really?" Max sounded hopeful.

  I felt Deyha nod. "Really."

  I sat up again and turned, slumping into Deyha as she tio hold me. "It's important to me that you two know, this was always the pn. Carolyn told me to isekai my friends out here."

  Ellen ughed. "Yeah, I figured."

  "Why me?" Max sounded dumbfounded, It was heartbreaking hearing the familiar plete ck of self-fidence.

  "Because, Max." Feeling zy, I didn't turn around. I tried to s the impatient annoya of my tone. "You're my friend, and I want you to be happy. We aren't abdug you, so It's your choie back if you choose, or just stay if you wanna be as insane about it as I was."

  "You're telling me you just stayed after visiting for a tour?"

  "It's an oversimplification of events." I muttered, "but essentially, yes."
