Jamal grinned at Ruby as he tried to regain the upper hand into the situation but he was outwitted by Ruby when she morphed into her fox form, crawling up his shirt. Tiny paws tickled Jamal's chest along with a big furry tail, making the boy laugh as he tried reaching for the allusive fox. Ruby eventually climbed ontop of his head and stood up tall and proud.

"I am the all mighty fox woman here me roar!" Ruby exclaimed flexing her paws.

"Now who has a big ego?" Jamal grinned, taking the fox off of his head and into his grasp again. He smiled when she morphed into human form back facing him and leaned up against him.

"I do, but its justing showing you how big an ego can get." Ruby smiled at him,

Jamal kissed the fox girl's cheek gently before flipping her around and kissing her on the lips.

He wrapped her arms around Ruby's waist and they embraced for a moment, kissing.

After aminute, as Ruby's face became flushed she pulled back.

"What?" Jamal asked, knowing very well what was wrong.

"I..not yet." she said simply not looking at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Jamal said, putting his hands on her shoulder and kissing her forehead. "I didn't meant to..um.."

Ruby smiled. "You want to go back? It's getting dark."

"Are you mad at.."

"NO!" ruby exclaimed, her face cheerful. "I could never get mad at you. I just like to talk to Emmy about things first, you know?"

"Emmy? She's gonna kill me.."

"No, she won't." Ruby said as they packed. "Emmy wouldn't hurt you unless you hurt me. And you didn't hurt me."

"Nope. And I never will." Jamal promised. They packed the picnic basket and left the lake as night fell.
