Justin's cheerful gift.

A young man named Justin was very sad. Not only had he received some awful news today, he felt totally unmotivated to do anything. He wasn't the best at art, but normally he loved drawing. Today, that wasn't the case at all. He felt listless, apathetic, gloomy. No picking up of a pencil could heal his lack of inspiration.

But one thing could, and did.

He heard a knock on the door of his bedroom.

"Who's there?" he asked, going over to see. "Mum? D'you need me?"

But when he opened the door, the poor guy nearly had a heart attack. "Wha-!?"

Standing there was none other than his beloved friend Matty's fursona, Kit MacLeod. The little dracowolf was standing on his tiptoes, hands behind his back and smiling cheerfully. "Hiya, Justin!" he greeted. "It's good to see you!"

"Wha- I don't- you're?!" Justin stammered.

Kit chuckled. "Easy there, Justin! I flew over here from America  'cuz I heard you needed some cheering up. How would you like to fly?"

"F-fly?!" Justin blinked. "...how?"

"Like this!" Kit gave Justin a huge hug, enfolding the big guy in his wings, and all of a sudden, the young Australian man felt... different. He felt warm and fuzzy all over, with sharper senses and the feelings of some things on his head and his back. When Kit let go of Justin, he saw his reflection in the mirror, and gasped.

He looked exactly like his fursona, Chester the fox! Well, almost. In addition to Chester's auburn, purple, and black fur, he now sported a pair of glistening ivory horns on his head, and from his back protruded two beautiful, leathery wings, glistening a royal purple.

"Ta-da!" Kit giggled. "What do you think?"

Justin was in awe of his new self. "I... oh, wow..." he whispered almost reverently, turning around to get the full view of his new appearance. “I... this is- this is brilliant, Kit! Thank you so much! I feel amazing!" He giggled as well, overcome by joy and vibrance.

"Awesome!" Kit took Justin's hand. "Come on, buddy, let's go for a fly around Australia! Follow me!" He cracked Justin's window open, jumped out, and flew away, wings flapping happily.

Justin hesitated only for a moment; the next thing he knew, he himself was bounding out the window and soaring through the sky right next to his friend's fursona. Ideas were bubbling up in his head, the joy of life surging through his soul once again, his heart healing.
All thanks to the help of Kit and his wonderful, draco-fox gift.
