After a long day of mild guilt for Ed, the day was coming to an end. Everyone was outside in the pool area. Mike, Ashley, Monica, and Mick were in the pool while Ed, Stamper, Elsie and Vivian were out of the pool but still had on a bathing suit. Ed was lying down in a lawn chair, Elsie was next to him, they were both talking. Viv and Stamper were squirting everyone in the pool with a water gun.

"I think you have a chance with Mike." Elsie said to Edward. "Elsie, you don't have to be the one to talk to me about that. Especially because- well-" "I know, I like you. But, so what? We are still friends and having a jolly good time." "Good point. Why would you think I have a chance?" "Well, one, you are very attractive. Two, you have a good personality. Three, it's quite obvious that he has feelings for you too." "Oh well thanks, and no he doesn't. He loves Ashley so much." Edward said as he adjusted the way he was laying down to se could get a better view of Mike. Once he saw him, Mike was laughing and hugging Ashley and smiling. Not a care in the world for Ed.

"That might be true. But, that doesn't mean he doesn't love you too. You would be able to tell from my perspective." Elsie said.

After a few minutes, Mike got out of the pool. His fur was a darker color due to the water. He wrapped himself with a towel and sat in the edge of Ed's chair, by his feet. "Hey, Eddy." "Heya, what's up? Why did you get out of the pool?" "Eh, tired I guess. I'm pretty cold too." Michael said and rubbed his fur with the towel.

After everyone got out, everyone seemed to be tired and done for the day. Elsie was already in her Pajamas and passed out on her bed in Ed and her's room. Edward quietly opened the door and striped down to his boxers, which is what he wore to bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a light KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK on the door. Ed was pretty out of it so he didn't bother putting on his robe. He opened the door and saw Michael's adorable little face. "I'm still cold." He said. "Mike, it's 1 in the morning-" "wanna hop it the hot tub with me? You are already dressed for it." He said and grabbed Ed's hand with his paws. "Fine." "Yey!!" Mike dragged him outside. He opened up the hot tub and stuck his legs in. Mike pulled Edward in and pushed him into the wall of the tub.

"Uh.. mike?" Edward asked. Mike was just staring at him with a seductive grin. "Michael, I don't understa-" Edward was interrupted by Mike's lips coming into contact with his. He flinched and tensed up. But, as Mike got closer and deeper into the kiss, Edward felt more and more comfortable.

Ed was now sitting down on the built in seat in the tub and Mike had his legs wrapped around Ed's waist, his arms wrapped around his neck. Edward's hands were seemingly involuntarily touching all over Michaels slim, velvety body. Ed didn't quite feel right. He slowly pulled away. "Mike, I don't think I should be doing this... what about Ashley? She would be devastated and heartbroken if she saw us like this." "Hon, Ashley doesn't have to find out. I have been noticing we have been sort of drifting away romantically." "Are you seriously positively sure you wanna do this?" Edward said. Mike smirked. "Oh, I didn't know you even thought of going THAT way." "Wait- no! I didn't-" "I'm joking, I'm joking. I was actually hoping it would go like this~"
