Sharon's small car pulled into the driveway of Jim's house as the sun was just beginning it arc downward into night time. Jim ran up to the door and tried to find his house key in his pocket. His hand-paw found nothing in either and Jim kicked the door out of frustration.
"What's wrong?" Sharon asked as she walked up to him.
"My keys and wallet are still at the carnival... Whoever took my clothes also took them as well. Damnit!" Jim spat out one step above a grow.
"We're locked out??"
"No, no.... I have a spare out back..." Jim said as he stomped off in a angry huff.
Sharon closely followed Jim as he walked around to the back of the house and climbed over the tall fence that surrounded the backyard. He then opened the gate to let Sharon in before going to the backdoor and using the spare key he kept in a hidden spot in a flowerpot.
"Just calm down, Jim. Everything in that wallet's replaceable. Besides... if we stay like this, we'll need new ID's anyway," Sharon said as she massaged Jim's shoulder to try and get his mind off of things.
Jim couldn't help but to crack a little smile at that last statement as he turned around to face Sharon.
"I know... It's just they've got everything of mine, including where I live, now. What if they find out we went AWOL?"
"We'll worry about that when it comes up. Since we can get inside, I think our primary worry is over with. How about a nice swim?"
"Why not..."
Jim took off his shirt and shorts and began to walk towards the pool.
"Skinny dipping in the daylight??? Are you nuts???"
"What? It's not like we're naked or anything, or did you forget you're covered in probably 10 pounds of fur?"
Sharon thought about for a second before she too pulled off her clothes and walked to the pool.
"See, nothings showing... So, those two old bittys have nothing to complain about," Jim said as he ran a hand-paw up and down through Sharon's back fur.
"You're not exactly the same," she replied as she pointed to Jim's sheath.
"Unless you've got binoculars, how are they going to tell at this distance? Besides, it's none of their business what we do in our own backyard," Jim said before giving Sharon a quick kiss.
Jim then ran over to the diving board and dove in. To Sharon, it looked like a giant twin-stiped black and white torpedo cutting through the water was Jim let his momentum to carry him through underwater, his tail long enough to cover over his legs the entire distance he glided outward. Sharon took the steps down the front of the pool and met Jim in the shallow end just as he surfaced. He then grabbed onto her and brought her underwater just as he locked their muzzles in a deep kiss.
They spent a good two or three hours having fun in the pool before finally getting out. The two of them looked like drowned rats as their waterlogged fir dripped rivers of water onto the cement surrounding the pool. Jim shook himself dry like a dog would as he walked towards the house. Sharon watched him leave with a confuse look, before shaking dry herself. Just as she finished, Jim had returned with two large bath towels and handed one to her.
Jim just laid his out on the grass and laid down on top of it, "It's a nice sunny day. This black fur ought to dry out fast with all of this sunlight."
He then patted the ground next to him with a devious little smile on his muzzle, "Care to join me?"
Sharon smiled her reply as she laid out her towel next to him and laid down beside Jim. The two cuddled together as they slowly sunned themselves dry.
