The Ruplex meeting
I folded my paws and huffed slightly as i looked around as waited for the viscet I was set to meet. Someone had arranged for me to meet with a Cet names Rupert. I guess they heard about my need to prove people wrong, that I didn't hate gays. I grumbled slightly, while more than happy to meet new people, I kind of felt guilty for leading on someone, building a friendship on nothing more than a ‘challenge’.
I let out a soft sigh and held my position against a lamp pole before noticing the other viscet looking around, much like I just was and I moved from the pole towards him, “Uhh. Hi.” I smiled slightly at the natural coloured Viscet, his fur was much like a german shepard, actually it was exactly the same, Greys, browns and white. His ears were also larger than most.
“Oh hiya!” The other viscet chimed as he moved fast towards me and I smiled more at the viscets happy nature, ready to make friends with a stranger, “Im Rupert, you wouldn't happen to be Klex?” He smiled and I gave a short nod, “Oh I'm so glad my friends insisted on us meeting.”
I gave another nod and smiled a little more, “Well it's nice to meet you Rupert.” He instantly put out a paw and smiled more. ‘Boy he's a cheery one,’ i thought and moved my paw and grabbed his and shook it with a decent grin. I was still getting use to being social, seeming as it was definitely who I was.
“You can just call me Ru,” He moved away from me a little and he was very happy looking, constantly smiling at me as i began to walk a little, going to a planned coffee shop, “I'm going to call you Lexi!”

I gave him a look, “Lexi? Uhhh… Sure.” I said with a hesitating smile as we moved towards the coffee shop, “So what do you like, Ru?” I said, trying to get interested in him and as we entered the coffee shop, I spotted the people I was to be showing my new ‘Gay’ friend off to.
I gave a short sigh and Rupert looked at me, smiling still, “I'm a Magician, I love to do magic and tricks. It's a passion.” Ru grinned still. ‘Stop smiling, its not helping,’ I grumbled to myself as I sat across from him. I moved my hands to the menus and handed him one. “What do you do, Lexi?”
“Oh. I’m a roller-skater, it's definitely a lot of fun and keeps me on my toes,” I returned his smile and waited for him to work out his order and we kept on talking about each other. He clearly loved magic and it was wonderful, I’d have to make him do a trick later.
We ordered our drinks and kept talking, Rupert was definitely a nice Viscet and suddenly a fake friendship was turning to one that I wanted to have with him. We continued to talk, learning more and more about each other.
After a good 20 minutes, the people I was planning to show Ru off to, the Viscets who told me I hated gay people, came walking over to our table, “Hey Klex, Hows your friend here? Does he know that he's just a friend because we made a fool outta you?”
I instantly grumbled and looked at them, “What do you know.” I looked at Rupert, whose smile was no longer lighting the room and his eyes seemed to want to water, “it's okay Ru, don't listen, They are just idiots.” I grumbled.
“Yeah ‘Ru’. Cept we know that this ‘play date’ was set up to try and show as that your ‘friend’ over there doesn't hate gay people,” The cets laughed and i grumbled more and Ru stood and ran from the coffee shop.
I threw my chair back, pushing past the others and out the door, trying to run as fast as I could to catch up to Rupert, “Ru! Hold up please!” I called loudly and the other viscet came to a stop and turned and looked at me.

His eyes were watering and I watched him, sadness washing over me as well, “Please Ru, dont listen. Yes this was set up because they ‘challenged’ me, told me I hated…” I went to continue but Ru was just watching me, his eyes puffy and he looked like he wanted to cry a lot more yet, “I'm sorry. I do want to be your friend. You seem like an awesome person.”
“Why should I forgive you?” He sulked slightly and folded his arms a little, muzzle lowered, “you tried to use me for a personal gain. That's just mean.” Ru had a point but i didn't want to agree to him so i sighed softly and instantly my mind lit with an idea.
“I know. Let's go to a magic shop and keep talking this out and I’ll buy you some stuff,” I bribed him, seemed stupid at first but the viscets eyes lit up and he agreed. We ran off towards the nearest magic shop, Ru grabbing my arms and pulling me behind him, telling me he knew the way.
When we arrived we indeed kept talking and i learnt that this ‘fake friend’ was probably the best one I'd ever have. I asked him if we could do a card trick and he agreed, we set up on a table and he did a few things, I had to pick a card, I picked the ace of spades. Pssh he’d never know my card.
Rupert pulled out a final card and looked at me with a serious but playful smile, “Is this your card?” He said softly, slowly turning the card around, I leant forward on my legs with excitement and sure enough the card he held in his paws was the Ace of spades.
“Wow!’ I exclaimed and insisted we did it again, we spent a fair while doing a few different tricks.
Thanks Ru, for everything.
