Charlie and Veronica (Part 1)
#1 of Charlie And Veronica
Hi guys, so this is the first part of 4 of my first little story. Most o it is made up, except Veronica. In this story Charlie(me) and Veronica(my girlfriend) meet for the first time but as Furries. This story was first written orginally in 3rd person but i thought it'd be more interesting if it was in 1st person so please excuse any hiccups such as that or misspellings. And yah :) hope you enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi, Im Charlie Im an 3 year old Welsh Corgi. I have a gold brown coat with white fur around my eyes, on my belly and on my paws. Im also anthropomorphic. We're also called Furries. Anthropomorphic means I have the same characteristics as a human such and smiling, facial expressions, walking, talking, etc. I've had a rough time growing in an all human world where anthropomorphic animals are uncommon. They other kids made fun of me at school. I only had one close friend from 6th to 12 grade. Unfortunately she moved out of state for school. Even though Im happy for her, I miss her.
But up until about 3 days ago I found out about Further Confusion. Further Confusion is a Furry conventionwhere anthropomorphic animals meet, socialize and have fun! And the best thing about is that its only like 6 hours away from where I live and it was coming up in a week. The second I saw the website I registered for it and booked a hotel room.
The day before the con, I decided to head to the hotel. Hours later I arrived at the hotel. I headed straight to I room and got my key. When I found my room I saw someone else on the same floor going in their room 3 doors down. It was another corgi, a girl. She looked up and our eyes locked. It was like something out of a movie, time slowed down and slow music started played. She waved and smiled, I did the same.
My room was small with 1 bed and a balcony. I put down my stuff and went out on the balcony to unwind. But I felt someone staring at me and looked around again to find the girl from before staring at me and smiling. When she noticed me turn around she blushed and waved again. I waved and went back inside.
DAY 1:
The next day I remember waking up at 7:30. I got up, did my daily rituals, and then left to go eat. I walked a block down the street and found this place called "The Pantry" and saw the girl from yesterday sitting in the window. I decided to eat there. I walked past 3 seats before I past the girls'. She was sitting alone reading the menu.
"Pull it together together Charlie. You can do this" I said to himself taking the seat across from her.
She put down the menu staring me in the eyes.
"Hello again" she said happily "Im Veronica. And you are?" Putting out her hand.
"Hi. Im Charlie." I said shaking her hand.
"So where are you from Charlie?"
"Im from Montebello down south"
"Your from Montebello? Im from Glendora. What high school did you go to? Schurr? Or Montebello?"
"O thats cool. I went to Montebello."
"Hmm. Do you know if Mr. Kuri is still there?"
"Yeah he's still there i was in band."
"O you were? Cool. What did you play? I was in colorguard at Glendora highschool. You guys had a military drum major right?"
"Yeah. I played trumpet. And yes we had a military drum major. Why?" I said raising an eyebrow.
"Huh? O no i was just asking. What year did you graduate?"
"I graduated in 2016." I raised my hand to show her my class of 16' ring.
"O i graduated that year too!"
"Really? Thats cool. Did you cry at senior lineup?"
"Yes! O my god! I loved my high school years!"
"O i know right. I did too mainly because almost all my friends got accepted to universities. And I was gonna miss them." I didn't want to lie about me having. I didn't want to make a bad impression.
"Aww im sorry to hear that. So do you want to order something or just talk?" She said handing me a menu.
"Yah. Im starving."
It was barely the first day of the convention and I already made a friend. The thing that bugged me most about it was that I might be falling for her. There was just something about her that I loved. We spent the entire first day together. I did'nt think it would be this easy to make a new friend when I was all alone for most of my life. I was happy. I was amazed how everyone acted. Everyone acted happy and silly and I loved that.
Unfortunately day 1 of the con came to a halt. All the booths were packed up, all the merchandise was already in boxes, and other Furries went to their rooms. We were the last ones to go to our rooms.
"Wow today was awesome!" I said pulling out my keycard.
"Yah i know right! Hmm. Yah i guess this was a pretty good first date." She winked
"Uhh. First date?" I said sheepishly
"Yah. I knew you had a thing for me. And well... Your cute and nice and sweet. And I love that about you." She said kissing me on the cheek.
"So 7 A.M tomorrow?"
"Uhh.. yah." I said smiling and opening the door.
That tiny, little kiss made my heart beat a million miles an hour. We said goodnight then went in our rooms. Right when I closed the door I jumped and punched the air in joy. I went to bed happy that night. I dreamt of me and Veronica living together and growing old together.
