As Jess his into her room to speak to her parents, I go to the living room and open my "Skunk for Dummies" book to learn all I can about being a toon skunk. You could see my fear is that, when I start to stink, people goes away and I'm going alone on this crazy world

'Ah the stink, a Skunks greatest defense and cause to its seclusion. Here are a few ways to deal with your stink. One way is to live in a skunk colony. Skunks are unaffected by their and their kinds stink. However if you have friends that aren't skunks this can be problematic. Another way is to tie your tail in a knot. This can be painful though and is recommended to be used for only so long. There is always Nana Skunks Skunk wash, but this is not recommended if you are in early stages of becoming a toon. The process is a little rough and can cause a speed up in your changes, not to mention Nana Skunk's is located off in a distant forest. But unlike bathing in tomato juice Nana Skunks will keep you stink free for about a month or so. There are also ways for your friends to ignore the stink. One is simply have them wear a gas mask. Another option, provided they don't mind the sneezing and sick feeling, is to simply give them a cold. Can't smell if you're all stuffed up. A more expensive way to deal with your stink around other people is lots & lots of perfume.'

"But there's a way to control the stink. Doctor Fox said it. Well, let's read some more to see... If not, I'll try a tail knot when this happens."

'Another unproven way is to paint over your white markings with black paint. Some skunks believe this keeps your stink to a minor oder, however getting wet tends to wash the paint right off. Even though this trick has surprisingly worked in some skunks it doesn't work for all skunks.'

"Hum, looks more promising, but let's see if has more options." I think, reading the last paragraph.
"A way for those skunks dedicated is to training his body by concentration. As the stink is a defense weapon, skunks can control how much stink can be exuded by. A skunk can either blast a very strong jolt of stink against menaces or block the exude of stink. However, the training for block the exude is very difficult and time-consuming, and not all skunks can block it 100%, although, after some hours of training the skunk can block the stink sufficiently to have an almost normal life."
"Well, look the best option." I think

"Alright Mom, give me a call if you can get a hold of Bob." Jess said before hanging up her phone. "Hopefully he got lost and never made it here. Then at least him & Hugo could try to figure out a way to fix us." She said to herself as she relaxed on her bed. She looked over at the book she'd been given before looking down at her growling belly. "Maybe I shouldn't have skipped breakfast." She said, getting up and heading for her bedroom door.

"We can fix some sandwiches." I say, as I go to the kitchen. There's bread and ham and cheese and coffee and milk. I make some coffee and sandwiches and put it on the dining table. "Lunch time."

"Great. I'm starved." She smiled, walking toward the table. She stopped a few feet from it, her eyes growing big as she grabbed at her nose. "Oh man...I think that foods gone bad." She said sounding nasely.

"No, the food was okay, I checked... Oh, my!" I say, running my hand to my tail, and pulling it to my front. A sickly green smoke can be seen. I sniff my tail and gasp. "Oh, gosh!", I say, blushing. You see me running to my room, and closing myself into it. You hear a WIFFF and a noise of air exhaust.

"What was that all...Oh no!" She said as it dawned on her what the smell was. "I thought Doctor Philips said you wouldn't start stinking for a long while." She yelled out from her spot by the table.

"Looks like there's not a 1-2-3 sequence on this..." I say from my room, then you hear me yelping lightly "Don't worry, I'm knotting my tail. I discovered my room are so-called skunk-safe: I can stink here all I can and no foul smell goes out. There's an Air Fresh on the cupboard for removing the stink on the living room." I say, yelping lightly.
You find the Air Fresh and spray it over the living room, making the rank smell goes away. You look to the food and see that it is okay for eating and easy a nibble or two. Then, some minutes after, you see me going out from my room, stink-free. You look to me and I show my back, my tail with a tight knot on the base.
"At least for now, I'm stink-free" I say, but you can see I'm mincing as I was dressing uncomfortable clothes.

"Yeah but....Doesn't it hurt?" She asked, looking at Paulo concernly. As bad as the stink was she was a bit more worried about his well being.

"Not... Although it's uncomfortable, like using tight underwear. But is the better solution for now. The best is training myself to control how much stink I can exude, reducing it as much as I could. That would leave the stink as an option as defense for us. But until then, the tail knot is not too bad." I say, sitting on the table and eating a little. "I think the stink had come because I could not stop to worry about that. Well, at least it came at last. No more worry." I give a good bite in the sandwich "Hey, this thing is good." I say as I take a drink from the coffee.
