Sin City Zoo
Pt.5
Squirrels, Squirrels, Squirrels

Approaching the locker rooms Evelyn stopped Audrey. “One more bit a good news, but yall have to promise if I tell ya you can’t let it slip or anythin about what you can do. Your stage show tomora is a big event an a secret round here spreads like wild fire.” Audrey nodded. “Ted told me what special song they would play for ya tomorra and he’d like ya to work your act around it.” Evelyn leaned in and whispered it into Audrey’s ear. “What?” Audrey asked confused. “They change some of the lyrics on the computer to fit the gimmick, they’ve done it before.” As Audrey began to understand she got more and more excited, that song would be perfect with those lyrics. “Is that legal?” Audrey asked wishing instantly she could recall the words. “It’s a secret club.” Evelyn grinned. “Who’d tell?”

The locker room was now full of changing women. Because Audrey and Evelyn had started a little late all the girls were now fully human and it was impossible to tell who was what. “Hey Megan.” Evelyn said to a Asian girl next to their lockers. “Hi Eve.” She replied. “This the new girl?” “Audrey.” Evelyn offered. “Hi I’m Audrey.” Audrey said as she shook her hand and stared real hard to try and figure out what this girl may turn into. “She is new hun? She’s trying to figure out what I am.” A few quiet laughs from girls in ear shot echoed around them. “It’ll be a little hard to tell what I am, I’m normally a little taller.” “Audrey I’d like to introduce to you Megan Hong, or as we know her Long neck Lenore.” Evelyn said. “You’re the Giraffe.” Audrey blurted. “Yeah they got a real sense of humor here.” Megan said. “Asian girl’s the tallest one here, but it sucks having to always look up one way or down the other, no ones ever at eye level ether way.” There was a few more quiet laughs.

Just then a short, slightly built girl excused herself between them. “Hey Erin, meet the new girl.” Evelyn said grabbing the girls arm. “Erin? Not the Erin?” Audrey said. “Yup, Audrey I’d like ta introduce ya to the world famous Erin Gibson, Our very own Bubbles the Hippo.” For the millionth time tonight Audrey was stunned. The woman that stood before her could not have had an ounce of fat on her body and where the enormous woman she’d seen tonight had an incredibly confident strut, Erin stood all scrunched up and mousey like she was awkward being in a change room with others. She was even shorter than Audrey, skinny almost to the point of being boney, she had a plane petit face and a pixy hair cut. “Oh your such a tease.” She said. “I’m not world famous. Hi I’m Erin.” She shook Audrey’s hand and Audrey tried not to look as confused as she felt. The little woman excused herself again and scurried off into the crowd. Audrey stared after her with a dumb expression.

“If you think she’s weird now just wait till you see her change the first time.” A brunette said walking over to them. “Her show’s this Saturday right Eve?” Evelyn nodded. Something about her seemed familiar. Audrey thought. “Don’t be scared sweety.” She said again and her voice reminded her of the bird girl from the beginning of the night. “Starling.” Audrey said. “She remembers! And my names Tina Wise.” She replied. “So how was your first night?” Tina asked and Audrey could sense she was probing for something. “It was awesome.” Audrey exclaimed. “I love what my new costume can do.” She said, tactfully answering but giving her nothing she didn’t outright ask for. “Great.” Tina said not quiet masking that she didn’t get what she was hoping for. “I’m going for a shower, wanna get a drink after guys?” “Sure.” Evelyn said and looked to Audrey. “Sure.” She echoed.

As Tina left Evelyn said. “She’s harmless, just really nosey. You’ll know who yer friends are fast after tomorra when ya steal all the attention out of the room. Queen Pussy will be pissed if so much as one eye is on you and not her.” “Queen Pussy?” Audrey asked. “Our nickname fer Teresa Kent, she plays Leona the lioness. She gives a whole new meanin to attention whore but don’t let her know about the name. She’s got a bad temper and has gotten in trouble a couple a times for being aggressive.” Audrey knew the type and didn’t care so long as she left Audrey alone.

As Audrey and Evelyn headed off to the showers as Evelyn quickly introduced her to some of the other girls changing. There was Carrie Uppum who played Hussy the horse, Rebecca Frim who played Sandy the lizard girl, and Vicky Singer who played Daisy the doe, as well as several of the cat girl choirs line and a few more birds. All the while a tall woman at the locker in the corner stared daggers at the new competition. Her coffee colored skin and yellow gold eyes made it seem like a little of her costume never wore off. Will see just how long this uppity dancer bitch lasts. Teresa thought.

Audrey flopped down on her bed as she did every night but with all that had happened to her in such a small time frame tonight she didn’t know how she’d sleep. Audrey squirmed and fidgeted, that place revolved around sexual innuendo and Audrey was both supercharged and a little loose from her drinks with the girls tonight. Audrey reached down and began to play with herself. God how long has it been? Audrey wondered as she did the mental math of how long since she’d last had sex. Oh, to long. She thought as she shuddered with pleasure. Once she’d gotten settled into her new job maybe she’d start looking into dating sites again. Having to put down that you’re a dancer as your profession in this town was like a lightning rod for ass holes though. Audrey moaned and twisted as she hit her climax and was satisfied. Definitely need a man, but the thought of being a trophy fuck again just to be satisfied disgusted her. Audrey began to drift off into sleep and for the rest of the night dreams of her flying on the jungle gym raced through her head.

Audrey stirred some time after noon. Sitting up in bed Audrey looked down at Baxter on the sheets, he was staring at her strangely. Audrey was groggy but she stared back at her cat. I smell like squirrel. Audrey thought. No that’s impossible, it’s just a costume, it wares off. Baxter tensed and Audrey just had time to hold up the sheets to stop his pounce. Good thing he doesn’t have claws. Audrey thought. It took a long time to settle him down and he still looked funny at her afterward. Great, I like my new job but my cat wants to kill me.

Audrey filled her day with thinking and practicing for her routine for tonight. She listened to the original of her song over and over again coming up with ques. Later on she called Mr. Nebble and assured him she was fine and also thanked him very much for caring about a client and otherwise a complete stranger the way he did. Mr. Nebble was glad everything worked out and hoped to hear from her if she ever needed an attorney again. As the hour rolled around Audrey wanted to be early for her first day and left Baxter pacing around her clothes hamper, she’d have to ask Evelyn if there was any way to get the smell off her after work.

Audrey pulled into the employees garage next to the factory, it looked just as run down and abandoned from the outside as the main building. Evelyn and a few other girls where already waiting for her. “We got everythin ready for ya tonight Audrey.” Evelyn said as Audrey got out of her car. “Ted’s orders, ya gotta go to the privet dressing room we made up for ya so no one sees ya before the show.” “God, what am I getting married?” Audrey asked. “Oh don’t wreck it you’ll kill em tonight.” Evelyn prodded. So Audrey was led to the small change room off the main stage. It had been made up with all the things she would need, makeup, several outfits, and an assortment of drinks and snacks. “Wow I damn near ranked high enough to get a fruit basket.” She said sarcastically to herself. Barbra came by shortly after with her pill and Audrey sat staring at her self in the mirror. “This is it.” She said to her reflection as the fuzz grew out over her face.

In the main party room guests were already settled into their routine. Each man had his favorite girl at his table chatting it up as the drinks flowed to prime the guests for the main event of the evening. The MC for the night, a man in full coat and tails stepped up to the microphone podium. “Gentlemen tonight we have the great pleasure to bring you a performance from our newest addition to The Zoo’s collection of lovely ladies. We’ve all waited a long time for the boys in the white coats to finish this special ladies costume so without further adieu. The Zoo would like you to help us welcome our newest dancer, Squirrely!”

(Writer’s note- I’d like to apologies for the fact that no matter how well I wright this it will never be as good as it was in my imagination. Reread it with the song again later.)

The house lights went low and a choreographed patterning of the spot lights started to spin as the roar of a motorcycle engine sounded over the speakers and the guitar intro to Motley Crue’s Girls, Girls, Girls started to play. When the opening lyrics got to the girls, girls, girls part they had changed the girls line for Squirrels, Squirrels, Squirrels. The curtain flew open and there was Squirrely. Audrey stood striking a wide open pose, her huge tail off to one side. She had decided that the fur left just enough to mystery and decided to ware nothing but her lacey black thong. She had painted each one of her still human finger nails deep red and had worn red lipstick to match the lyrics in the song. The crowd cheered like a room full of drunk collage students, some things are just universal. She began strutting down the runway, each step making her huge chest bounce and the crowd cheered even louder.

As the song got to the line, Yanky girls (now squirrels) just can’t be beat, but you’re the best when your off your feet Audrey took the last five feet toward the pole at an impossibly long, high leap and grabbing on she spun up the pole in a cork screw straight to the ceiling, her tail twirling around the pole for added effect. The crowd cheered so loud Audrey could feel the room rumble through the pole but she didn’t care, she was ecstatic. For the next three minutes she never touched the ground, twirling, spinning, and flipping with moves only a real squirrel could match.

As the song wound down Audrey climbed to the top and got ready. Audrey spun down the pole in a blur of reddish brown fur only slowing herself at the last minute. She came to a gentle stop front and center of the pole, her legs out wide and her back arched, pushing her chest out to strike a vogue pose. The crowd erupted into cheers louder than before and Audrey sat at the bottom of the pole with her eyes closed, soaking up the feeling of her dream come true.
