"Come on, Marrie, smoke the blunt, it's cool!"

Marrie, tugged at the hem of his shirt timidly at the joint being thrust right at him. The deer meekly shrunk back against the sofa, running his hands through the bangs of his light brown hair, which was cut at a medium length, and tapped his fingers to his antlers in a nervous fidget. Marrie, short for Marrion, sat amongst friends around a coffee table. He had initially thought this to be a normal get together, but things shifted when his friends pulled out narcotics.

He looked up at the one offering him the blunt, a skunk girl named Sylvia. Although Marrie and the others called her Sly, for short. She blue a strand of her wild, wavy white and black hair out of her face, shaking the joint lightly.

"C'mon, Sly, don't tease him. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to," called another girl. A white furred mouse with blue eyes and a wavy bronze ponytail named Melanie.

"An-and you've all done this?" Marrie asked, to which everybody nodded. Marrie's ears drooped at that, feeling like the odd-one-out.

"Look if you want to do it, go ahead. It's not so bad, in fact it's not bad at all," Bryan, a brown and black spotted shrew said, bunched up on the sofa filming on his phone.

"See? Come on! Just take it," Sly said, jabbing the joint forward.

"There's no shame in not taking it though, don't feel too pressured," Taryn said- a jackal boy with wild, blonde, medium hair only slightly longer than Marrion's.

"Fffff... fine! I'll take it!" Marrie said, taking the joint from Sly, holding it in front of his waiting lips with shaky hands. 'Come on... just smoke it like a cigarette... not that you've ever smoked those either...' Marrion anxiously thought, 'Oh but Mom always told to me stay away from these... what if she finds out...?'

An otter girl sat on the floor beside the coffee table, pulling out a plastic bag and taking out what looked to be a gummy. She brushed her straight auburn hair right behind her ear and handed Marrie a gummy. "Edibles. Should be simpler for a first timer," Opal said.

Marrie handed Sly the joint and took the gummy, "A-and I will feel... good... right?"

Opal nodded affirmatively, "Like out of this world."
