Chapter 1, A new day in 2015. Good Morning!
Today, it's been exactly 45 years ago since The Surge happened. And 45 years of focusing on technology has made a real difference. We've come so far we don't look back at a dreadful event that happened 45 years ago. Instead, it was more a wake up call that the way we were at was unsustainable.
We were glad it happened. It allowed us to reunite to work together towards a better life. Rather than making sure we could extract the most benefits over one other individual, we shared. Yes, we shared everything. Why wouldn't you? Sure there are personal belongings like photo's and all that kind of stuff that no one else could use. But things like cars didn't even have locks anymore. It's owned by everyone. You could literally step into in any car and go wherever you want.
Though, with everything becoming mostly shared meant that there is less diversity. But why would you care about that when everything that you would need is there available for you and everyone?
Everyone had the same amount of housing space accordingly to how many people lived in the house. Sure houses look different from one and another, differently arranged from inside and outside. But yet still the same space. And nowadays families live with every generation of the family in a house. Just because it's more efficient and allowed the grandparents to look after the children. And when old age set in, the grandchildren could look after them again.
Mega cities were a thing of the past. The population isn't all that increased since the fifth year after The Surge. It's been stable ever since. We lived in self sustaining villages of 5000 citizens. The mega cities are still out there. But if you would go there now you could see that nature was slowly taking the city wasteland back again.

No one ever goes there anymore. Well, that was. Unless you got exiled due to criminal actions. Our govern ourselves more by the main rule of treating each other the same as would like to be treated yourself. Do no harm to one another stood above on that list. But in this resource based society. Where all you need to live was generally available. You can imagine that crimes would almost be unheard of.
Now that you know the world we currently live in, let me tell you my story.
New London, one of the biggest village of nearly 25000 people. Located in what was formally England. The main big reason is why this village had gotten this big. Most of the research and development of world was centered here in big newly build universities.
Today after moving from New Birmingham and spending the first day in the new house. The sun was shining with all it's warmth on this summers day through the curtains of the room. Lightening the room up. A sign of a very nice day to come. Birds chirping just outside on the trees.
I felt a warm and soft hand touching my left cheek. Stroking it gently.
"Wake up, sweetie", A voice gently whispered.
Lying on my side facing the direction the voice came from. I opened my eyes. Slowly letting them getting adjusted from the light of the morning sun in the room. I was greeted by a beatiful smiling face of a catgirl. Drawn in by her sparkling emerald green colored eyes. Her cherry blossom pink colored bang running over her own cheek. Yes, it was her natural hair color. It's still a rare hair color mutation, but nowadays it's possible to find hair colored in almost any color. Pointy ears like a cat sitting on top of her head.
"Ah, good morning Esmeralda."
I picked up the petting hand from my cheek and held it in my hands. Smiling back at her.
Not a few moments later some movements behind me, feeling what felt like 2 breasts pressing against my back. I turned my head a bit trying to look back. Suddenly a head popped from under the bed's sheets and snagged a kiss from me. After a sweet kiss on the lips from her. Her eyes opened and smiled at me. Almost exactly looking like Esmeralda, except her eyes sparkled sapphire blue.
"Sapphira! I was first!" Esmeralda, her twin sister shouted. Feeling unfair that she was too slow.
"Teehee!" Sapphira playfully stuck a tongue out towards her sister.
Not waiting a second longer Esmeralda's hand pulled my head towards hers and gave me a kiss too.
Yes, I was one hell of a lucky guy. 18 years old and getting loved by 2 of the most beautiful catgirls I ever knew. Of course they were the best, they were my catgirlfriends. For nearly 2 years now we have been dating. And from today on, we now lived together.
"We need to get ready for our first day at the research center."
"Better not get late. I want to see which project they'll put us on!" The sisters joyfully said.
We had moved from our families home back in New Birmingham to here, New London. Getting selected to help at a research center was an honor. You had to get really good marks on science subjects like Physics, Chemistry and all that stuff. Travelling each day from New Birmingham to here would've been inefficient. So we got requested a move to here instead, getting a home for the 3 of us.
Jumping out of the bed I could see my cute girlfriends. They weren't that tall, smaller than your average catgirl. 4'7". Compared to my height of 5'10", I was tall for them. Often needing to bend over to even kiss them. It didn't bother me as much though. I was having the sweetest girls I could ever have. Not chubby and not skinny either. With firm round C cup breasts topped by a small pink cute nipple. A perfect heart shaped butt covered by white panties and a pink hair tail running over their buttcheeks running down if straightened down to their ankles. And just from where that tail sprouted out just above her buttocks. The bottom of their long straight cherry blossom colored pink hair ended.
"What you're staring at? Felix?" Sapphy asked me.
"I could never get tired of how beautiful you girls are." I replied, in which they blushed.
"Oh you, Mr. flatterer." Esmy smiled.
I knew a catgirls body wouldn't show signs of aging for at least 45 years to come. And by the sight of them what a joyful future it would be. It was part of the reason why my girlfriends got selected by the research facility here too. Being very smart and not aging people just had begun researching why this was so. Seeking answers in why their cellular division instead of having exact copies instead of degradation occurring. Having them around a research facility would benefit eventually us all.
For me personally, well. I got lucky in joining them on their new adventure. In the past where catgirls would get separated from their partner. Depression set in pretty quickly and the longer they spend apart the worse it would get. Often resulting in them quitting the opportunity and going back to their hometown to be back with their lover again. Inseparable a catgirl was once they fell in love. Therefor in order not to let that happen. I got lucky and my application got accepted too along with theirs. Sure I wasn't as smart as my girlfriends. But being helped by them I could get my head around the complicated stuff too in time.
And thus I got out of bed, getting myself washed in the shower by my girlfriends first. They loved washing me making sure I was neatly clean everywhere. It wasn't long before we were dressed up, had breakfast and closed the door of our new home behind us. Not even needing to lock our door. We jumped into one of the cars parked on the street...
