You know not enough credit really goes to When I drew my very first attempt at Gem he approached me and asked me to design his fursona. It was designing Saffy that really kindled my love of the whole furry drawing thing. I haven't drawn Saffy in the longest of times and well I felt the need to rectify that.
As with the majority of my little family art it comes with a small story.

*********************

Saffy was sulking as she sat in the carseat. It was new years eve and she should have been putting on makeup and getting ready to go nightclubbing with her friends, instead she was being taken over to her baby cousins house because her parents were going out for the night and they needed a ...babysitter. Gem's parents had offered their services and so reluctantly for Saffy, thats where she was being taken. Ever since her regression, life had been frustrating, having her dignity, and independence stripped from her so unexpectedly still had her in a daze when she started to think too long about it.

"MOOOM I DONT WANNA GO" She tried to kick at her mom's driver seat as she tried to throw a tempter tantrum in the back of the car, but the carseat she was strapped into held her pretty fast and she no longer had the manual dexterity to figure out how to unlock herself from the contraption. Her legs were too short to reach

"You'll have fun Saffy. Gemma will be there and you can play until bedtime"

"There's NOT supposed to BE a bedtime. It's new years eve. I want to go out and party. you know what Aunty and Uncle are like they always make me dress like a stoopid baby and they wont treat me like a growd up "

Saffy's mom just chuckled as she pulled up into the driveway of the house, unlocked Saffy from the carseat and carried her protesting daughter to the house. As she rung the doorbell Saffy's mom grinned at her regressed daughter.

"You'll have a great time sweetie. I know you will. None of that nasty alcohol or staying up until all hours of the morning. You'll have fun"

Nikol opened the door and smiled. In her arms was Gem, and Gem squealed happily when she saw her older cousin. Gem had been used to Saffy being a grown up but now that Saffy was only a little bit bigger than her she enjoyed her older cousin as a playmate. She waved enthusiastically from her mummy's arms and Saffy just stared.

"MOM! WHATS GEM WEARIN?"

Gem giggled as did Nikol and Saffy's mom, when it became obvious that the two tots were wearing the same outfit. The kids were placed down on the floor and Gem wobbled on her paws for a moment but remained upright, she grinned behind her pacifier puffing out her chest proudly, while Saffy just stared incredulously at the baby wearing HER outfit.

"Nikol that's just adorable." Saffys mom chuckled. Nikol smiled but waved her paws to silence the adult skunk.
"Wait, you haven't seen the best bit. GEMMA! What do you say? remember what we taught you? What does Saffy say?"

Gem looked up at her mummy and gasped, remembering her rehersed lines. She stuck both her paws on her hips and made a grumpy face. Stomping one foot, causing her to almost overbalance, she mumbled behind her pacifier.

"But I reely AM a big gurl" I AM!"

Both adults burst into laughter and Saffy stared for a moment.

"I...I...dont look, OR sound like that!" She mumbled blushing.

Gem grinned then threw her arms up in the air in an, over the top exasperated manner.

"Im notta baybe, imma growd up" With her little party trick completed Gem burst into giggles.

Saffy wanted to be cross, she wanted to sulk but the corners of her mouth turned upwards instead of down. Everyone was giggling. It did sound pretty silly coming from Gem. Saffy suddenly burst into laughter and it felt fun to laugh at herself. Letting her sulky mood evaporate she suddenly couldn't wait to play with Gem. Gem hugged her older cousin hard feeling glad that her little act had made her grumpy cousin happy.

It was then that the camera came out.
