Author’s note: This fan fiction does not fall into any arc I’ve written. It happens when Alex is 8-Years old and Will is 14, two years before the start of their incest relationship. The family lives in the Rain Forest District of Zootopia. Gloria works at a law firm in downtown Zootopia City, Harold is a commercial underwater welder with a company out of Otterville on Kapok Street. Morgan lives with her Mother Kelly (A Welsh Corgi) who is a college physics professor at Zootopia University, and her Mother’s girl friend Brittany (A Shelty) who cooks at a sea side diner on Sahara Beach Promenade. Morgan lives Seven blocks down from Alex at 82 Vixenville Ave.

Rating: There’s some minor sexual references and some nudity but this is a clean fan fiction.

     Will trudged out of his bed room still half asleep and stood yawning and stretching his arms out before the bathroom door...

     “YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOOSE DUFUS!” Came the sound of a smaller wolf cub as he darted past Will on all fours then slammed the bathroom door and locked the knob before Will could react!

      “HEY!” The 14 year old wolf snapped! “I HAD IT FIRST ALEX!”

      “Then.....you should have been inside first?” Alex giggled back!

      Will pounded on the door until his mother passed him by...”You break my door youngster and I’ll break a wooden soup spoon on your behind.”

      “Yeah!” Alex yelped from inside the bathroom. “Stop destroying things there “Wreck it Wolf!”

      Will followed his mother into the kitchen. “Sniff....sniff....hmmm...Strawberry pup cakes and bacon strips. Dad must have called you last night Mom.”

      “No.” Valerie replied. “Your little brother is pitching today so I thought he needed a booster breakfast.”

       Will sighed...”When do I get my “Booster”. You used to make me special breakfast too once.”

       “I also taught you how to cook and become more independent.” Valerie said. “You were the one complaining I was still treating you like a “diaper butt” remember?”

      Alex came running into the kitchen and hopped into one of the chairs! “Slurp! Slurp!” Alex ran his tongue over his teeth...”Can I have a goo-mungus pile mom?!”

      Will reached over and snatched an ear! “Get some clothes on! You can’t sit at the table in your underwear Alex!”

     “Who died and made you King of the Wolves?!” Alex yelped back. “Mom doesn’t care! It’s warm and I can’t eat when it’s too toasty in the house!”

      Will snapped back. “No one wants to smell your stinky rump or your tiny nut soup!”

      “Like you’re an expert bather big brother? You stink like motor oil.” Alex huffed. Then just for spite....the wolf cub pulled off his cartoon underpants and whipped them back over his head...

      “Alex?!” Will yelped. “Mom?! He took his underwear off!”

      “You’re sure looking hard big brother.....pervert.” Alex snapped!

      Valerie turned around from cooking...”Alex! Get your underwear back on! William? Stop being a bother! Both of you stop before I spank you!”

     Alex jumped up in his chair and wiggled his behind...”Oh please Mommy? I love spankings!”

     Valerie was taking a sip of her coffee and shot gunned it all over the counter! “Cough, cough! Alex! Cough! Up my nose....you little rascal! Cough!”

      Will laughed...”Well played Alex!”

      “Sank you.....sank you.....you’re a wonderful audience!” Alex said as he bowed. He then slipped off his chair and pulled his underoos back over his body...”Hey big brother? Am I getting bigger?”

      “Yeah....in your head.” Will replied as he bopped a fist off Alex’s head.

      “No! Seriously?” Alex begged. “Am I getting bigger?”
 
      Will sat as if he was studying a work of art...”Well?.....I’d say? Yes. Yes you are becoming more “stocky” like a wolf. But you still have some baby fat to shake off. I think you’ve gotten taller? Mom?”

        Valerie looked at her youngest cub...”Yes. I should measure you before you go to your game today.”

        “His girlfriend will be there today.” Will said smiling.

        “Go fluck yourself?” Alex yelped. That brought a swift reply from Valerie, who without breaking a stride walked over to the kitchen table, snatched Alex off his chair, pulled him over her knee, dropped his underpants and laid into his rump with a few quick hard spanks!

        “OW! MOM?!” Alex yipped!

        “What have I told you about swearing little wolf?!” Valerie growled.

         Alex pointed at Will. “He does it!”

         “He doesn’t do it in the house and when he does? He gets worse than you just got! Do not....swear...in our house. You’ve seen what your father gets for his Sailor trash talk don’t you?” Valerie said.

        “It’s unfair.” Alex snorted back. “A swear jar isn’t equal to you hitting my butt mom.”

        Valerie kissed her youngest...”I do it to make you a big wolf who’s better than your father.”

        “Yeah....are you going to make my game today?” Alex asked.

        “I will.” Valerie replied as she petted Alex on the head. “Will’s going to be there for sure.”

        Alex pointed stiffly at Will...”You start saying “girlfriend” stuff and I’ll maul you.”

       “You’re so infatuated with Morgan.” Will sniped. “Your face is far ahead of you in the lie race, it’s not funny.”

       “I’ll smack you if you don’t shut up Will.” Alex snorted. “All I wanna do today is beat the snocks off that dumb corgie. Stuck up snot.”

      “If you keep thinking about her Alex?” Will snickered. “You might lose?......”Alex and Morgan sittin in a tree? K...I...S...S....I.....N...G.....”

      “THAT DOES IT!” Alex yelped as he leaped from his chair, crashed into Will and both cubs fell on a floor in a wolf tussle of pulling fur and clenched teeth on tails and ears!

      Valerie just stood watching the show....”Never a dull day in our house. You two clean up your mess when you’re don destroying my kitchen ok?”

“Ping!”

“Ouch! Yie! Yie! Yie!” Morgan dropped the “pup tarts” on the kitchen counter and hop’d about shaking her paw as she stood on a chair!

“You should let them cool a little you know?” Brittany, who was Morgan’s mother’s lover, said as she walked into the kitchen. “You ok?”

“Eh?! Was nothin.” Morgan replied as she blew on her tarts and dropped them onto a plate. “Is my Mom still sleeping?”

  “She’s up.” Brittany said as she watched Morgan pour herself a glass of juice. “So what adventures do you have planned for today?”

   Morgan climbed down off the chair...”Beating the snot out of a wolf.not beating him up with my paws and teeth? Just beating him till he cries.”

    Brittany’s eyes popped wide...”What’s got you so violent this morning?”

    “Nothing.” Morgan said smiling. “It’s a ball game beating. We’re playing the “Tundra T-Wreckers” and I hate their pitcher.”

    Morgan’s mother walked into the kitchen and kissed her lover on her lips....”What did I tell you about lying Morgan? She’s infatuated with him. Secretly taken off her feet.”

   “I am NOT mom!” Morgan snapped back as she walked by the couple frowning. “Stinky oversized excuse for a dog! Freckle faced freak!”

     “Don’t be fooled by her growling Britty? She absolutely adores that wolf cub.” Kelly said waving a paw. Morgan acted like she didn’t hear anything and went into the living room to turn on the television...

      And after some channel surfing? She found her favorite music! Elvis Grizzly! Ok? So he was way before her generation....so what?! He was cool, he had cool music, She loved his attitude and no one dared to change the television under penalty of pissing off one very determined and still half asleep female Corgi pup...not a good thing to try and tangle with...

     The show was obviously a re-run of the big bruin’s 1968 ZOO television special where he was dressed in black leathers and doing a inprompt “Jabberwocky” (slang: wild band session with an audience)  with his band players “D.J. Ferrettanna”, Scotty Dawg Moore, and “Allen Tortoise”. Nothing like walking up to Elvis for this young Corgi pup...she could feel the drool rolling over her tongue from the pleasure being whipped in her by the music....and that big powerful looking bear.

      Elvis started in on one of his first songs called “That’s all right little Mama!” and Morgan couldn’t help but jump up from the couch and start “Air gettin it” with a fake guitar...

Well, now that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right mama, anyway you do
But, that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Well mama, mama she done told me
Papa told me too
They love you leavin' son now
We'll be there for you....

     “Pup Tarts” were so under rated. “Dee....deedee....deee deee! Dee....deedee....deee deee! That's all right now mama, anyway you do!” Morgan sang out as spun around on the floor. Her long flowing head tuft whiped about as she got into the guitar play and spun on one foot! Suddenly...one of her toe nails caught the carpet and she flopped onto her butt laughing herself silly as he mother walked in with coffee in her hand...

      “You never run out of ways to entertain yourself early in the morning.” Kelly said as she stopped to pet her energetic daughter. “Save it for your game.”

       Morgan sat panting...”Will you be there?”

       “As if I would miss you with your boy friend?” Kelly said snickering.

      “He is NOT MY BOY FRIEND MAMA! Grrrrrrr.....say that one more time?! I’ll bite your ear off!” The growling little corgi said as she leaned on her mother’s knees....”Go ahead Mama? Test me.”

       Kelly grabbed her daughter up and plopped her on her lap. “I must say....you are getting bigger Morgan.”

       “Mama? Don’t butter me up?” Morgan sniped. “I haven’t grown an inch in two years. That dumb wolf. He better not start up with any stupid short jokes.”

       “Morgan? I have never seen that wolf cub near as horrible as you think he is.” Kelly said as she played with Morgan’s nose.

      “You don’t know him well enough.” Morgan snorted. “He calls me short again and I’ll pound him good.”

      “Sigh”......Morgan Denise Wright if you so much as point a paw finger at todays game? We’ll go home and you’ll sit in your room. Now I mean that Morgan?.....no funny stuff at the game you hear me?”

       Morgan sighed...”Yes Moma....I will try to be nice and not cause any trouble, I promise....as long as I can stand that feral beast of a wolf.”

       “Morgan?” Kelly warned. “You’re going to start the game off right by walking up to Alex Gray and saying...” May the best pitcher win.” Then you’re going to lick his ear and say...”You have a beautiful tail.”

        Morgan pushed on her mother....”Look at you trying to play silly match maker?!”

        “At least say the first part Morgan?” Kelly asked. “I don’t understand this antagonism with you? What has Alex Gray done to deserve you being so angry with him?”

       Morgan growled....”He tore my favorite baseball jacket.”

       “Oh Morgan?!” Kelly yelped. That was two years ago and he said he was sorry! He even gave you another jacket and you don’t wear it. He was very upset at what happened.”

        Morgan pouted. “He didn’t think of how upset I would be. I’ll never let him forget what he did.”

        Kelly smiled softly and gave Morgan a kiss on the head. “Give it time? I have a feeling you’ll change when you hit twelve or thirteen.”

       “By then I’ll be able to legally have a gun. Then he better watch out.” Morgan huffed.

        “Don’t throw too hard.” Will said as he caught Alex’s toss and threw it back. The young cub had a gifted arm, certainly better than when Will was in Little League. Both of them were well established in their characters now....Alex was going to be athletic, hyper-active and outgoing while his older brother would be more studious, reflecting and academic. Will was already a good mechanic at 14 years old, he’d torn down and rebuilt his father’s old truck engine three times without any help and he enjoyed being a gear toothed canid who treated oil and grease like body lotions.

        Alex on the other hand was all physical with a lust for play and adventures. There hadn’t been more than one occasion where Will had to run around Rain Forest into midnight to find his younger brother “Lunking” all over the place in trees and caves. Every time Alex decided to go on his own? He gave Will pissing fits. Even the tranquility of the Rain Forest didn’t assure a hundred percent safety. There were ample numbers of jerks out there who’d probably lick their chops to grab up a small wolf cub for some sick purpose which was why Will always looked over his own shoulder to make sure his “shadow” was still close at hand.

      “STEALING SECOND!” Will yelped as he threw another ball back to Alex! The wolf cub quickly set himself and fired a cannon shot that almost smacked will in the puss if he hadn’t ducked his head to let the ball fly by!

      “Sorry Will!” Alex yelped as he watched his brother stand up.

      “You planted and shot fast!” Will said smiling. “Your dufus older brother is good for something huh?”

       Alex smiled. “That worked good.” He said proudly. “So? What do I get if I win today?”

      Will stood thinking...”How about a new “Rocket Murphy” pitcher’s mitt?”

      Alex’s face beamed...”Really?! You’ll get one for me?!”

      “Tell me why I shouldn’t?” Will replied....but? but?....You not only have to win? You have to be nice to Morgan Wright. No matter what she says or does? You have to be the perfect gentle-mammal. You make one slip up and no glove....deal?”

       “That’s being unfair!” Alex yelped.

       “Oh please tell me you can’t do such a simple thing?” Will asked as he waved his paw around....”Just be your sweet and simple self?”

        Alex snorted....” I’ll sweet and simply clamp my teeth on her tail. Hmph! She still won’t forgive me for ripping that jacket. I didn’t mean to rip it! I know it must mean the world to her if she thinks I’m nothing but a low life trash bag.”

       Will smiled as he petted his little brother on the head...”It’s something about females you just have to learn to adjust too. It might take some time before she warms up to you but until then? You need to be the bigger and better wolf.”

      Alex snorted...”You sound more like Dad every day.”

      Will hugged his little brother...”I’m only trying to help my best buddy in the whole world.”

      Alex pointed a paw finger in Will’s face...”You have to allow for some “pre-game jabs” on her!

      “So long as they don’t cause a fight, I’ll over look some innocent banter with her....but no big insults, no tail grabbing, no teeth bare’ing and no growling.....got that?” Will asked.

      “I agree!” Alex replied. “That glove is as good as mine.”

      Judy Hopps was focused to the exclusion of everything...even the slow passing of a carrot crumb cake under her nose did nothing to break her concentration...

     “Jewwwwwwww...deeee?” Nick Wilde said as he waved the delectable cake under his wife’s nose....

    “Jewwwwwwww...deeee?” “Kiss”....Even the best cop in the history of all Zootopia can not resist the scrumptiousness of this delightful morning carrot cake?” Nick said as he also sniffed the coffee in his other paw...”Nor the excellent craft of this wonderful rabbit coffee I have made for my sweet beloved?”

    “Jewwwwwwww...deeee?” “Kiss” Even my hard working beloved must have a good breakfast?”

    “Nick?” Judy said as she pointed to her desk top. “Just set them down and cut the drama please?”

     Nick placed the cake and coffee down and huffed...”Ok? See if I continue to swoon over you carrots when you talk to me like a no body.”

     Judy snatched Nick’s tie...”We’re on duty right now and this is a very serious case to review. I’m sorry if I’m so dedicated to our work.”

     Nick smiled as he grabbed up his own coffee...”I never expect less. I checked in on Jackson? Our baby sitter is complaining that I speak to the child behavior union. Jackie isn’t giving her enough trouble.”

     Judy smiled...”What’s he doing?”

     “Sitting down to his morning cereal and watching Sesame Street. He... like his caring father....made muffins and juice for his baby sitter.” Nick said waving a paw finger.

      “And....burnt them?” Judy snickered.

      “Like I said....followed his father exactly.” Nick replied.

      Judy took a moment to un-lock her eyes from her computer screen and pulled one of Nick’s paws into a gentle face cuddle...”This one’s a tough one to deal with...another missing little one.”

      Nick glanced at the screen...”Fireball? A reindeer fawn huh?”

     “Yeah...reported missing last night.” Judy said with a sigh. “Parents said he’s a problem fawn so they think he just ran away. Like the previous nine young one’s who’ve gone missing in the past month. So far...beside some camera pictures and found personal belongings? No trace of them what-so-ever....I’m fearing the worst....”

      Nick leaned over Judy’s shoulder to check out some of the reports. “Have you looked for something that ties these all together? Schools? Activities? Relationships? You know?....The basics we learned from the academy?”

      Judy replied as she tapped a paw finger on the computer screen. “I have...nothing so far. It’s not a single species issue or a predator / Carnivore, Prey/ grass eater specific thing.”

      Nick gave off a low growl...”Why do I sense something along the lines of an exotic meat market?”

     Judy looked surprised....”Nick?!”

     “Just thinking like your average predator Carrots. Every now and then? You just have to “go wierdo” and taste some dog meat or goat or bat or whatever you crave over the ample supply of mundane “insect” protein we “Preds” are provided for our consumption...”

     Judy felt Nick slip his paws under her arm pits! “Nick! Stop! We’re working!”

     Nick tongue smacked his open maw....”I want to eat you carrots... I want to devour you like a delectable chocolate bunny....yum yum...”

     Nick cradled his wife in his arms and tickled her stomach. “Put a “Do not Disturb” sign on the door you silly little rabbit and let’s play “Pred and Prey” here and now? Who knows? It might get some inspirational thinking going?”

      Judy smiled at Nick and played with his tie till he looked away... A big mistake with Judy...

    “Poke!” The bunny gave her husband a poke in an eye! She jumped from his arms, took a wrist and flipped Nick to the floor!....

    “Now Mister Fox?!” Judy snapped as she help an arm behind his back. “Who’s the predator here?”

    “Well played Fluff....well played.” Nick said as he pointed up to the desk. “Now please taste your carrot cake?”

8am
Chestnut Town, Rainforest District

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Pridelands
I miss South Savanee once again and I think it's a sin, yes
Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her 
Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern mammal don't need him around, anyhow
Sweet home South Savanna
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home South Savanna
Lord, I'm coming home to you!

     The shared song flowing through their bluetooth headsets had the two wolve juveniles in an excited joy as they sped their “Scruffy” (Huffy) bikes along the elevated trail that hung twenty feet off the floor of the forest floor below them...

     “YAAAHOOO!” Alex got a good length of air under his tires as he caught a trail bump. Lucky that the elevated trail was enveloped by a plexi-glass cover or the young wolf would have shot off the trail and fell to the forest floor! “THUMP!” He landed close to Will and almost knocked his older brother over!

     “Alex?! Watch it alright?! You want us to get caught by the police?!” Will yelped as he reached out to steady Alex’s wobbling bike. “I really need to get you a stronger bike for these rides!”

      “It’s ok Will!” Alex replied with a toothy smile.

     Every district of Zootopia was unique for certain species of mammals. The rain forest district was nice to live in because there were no cars, no factories, none of the chaos and clutter of the downtown district and always had a well balanced climate...never too hot and never too cold. For bears, Wolves and other mammals used to a forest setting... it was peaceful and perfect.

     Cars were not allowed in the district, save the emergency vehicles and first responders. All cars were parked outside the district in huge vertical lots. Inside the district, you ran, or walked, or biked, or took the numerous sky trams and blimps to your destinations. This day to get to his ball game...Alex chose to “Scruff” it.

    The morning sun was climbing over the dense canopy of leaves above the district and casted its’ light through the holes like beams of yellow laser lights. It triggered Alex’s over-active imagination! “HURRY WILL! THE ALIENS ARE SHOOTING AT US!” Alex yelped as he sped up his peddling and shot ahead of his brother!

    “THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS ALIENS ALEX!” Will screamed as he chased after his little brother...

    Suddenly....Will caught the flash of something coming down from a higher level trail into the “Y fork” merge and it crashed into Alex’s bike with a metal joining “CLANK!”

    Alex lost control of his “Scruffy” flipped over the handle bars and tumbled onto the trail where he sat on his butt shaking his head!

    The other ridder was off her bike and growling at the younger wolf before Will could get his kick stand down...”I KNEW IT! YOU CLUMBSY STUPID WOLF!”

    Alex looked up at a very irate Morgan Wright....”OH?! THERE’S TWEEDLE DUMBTAIL YOUR LEASH HOLDER TOO?! HOW ABOUT TEACHING YOUR TAIL NIPPER THE RULES OF THE ROAD?!”

    Alex smiled and waved a paw...”Good morning Morgan?”

    Morgan gave Alex a bitter look then remembered what her mother warned her...she had to swallow her pride...”Sigh....are you ok?”

    “Yeah.” Alex said as he stood up. “You know us wolves? Good thick bones.”

    “Well?” Morgan huffed and bit her lip...”Will you pleeeease look where you’re biking instead of singing to yourself?” The small female Corgi asked. “And?.....And may the best pitcher win today.”

    Alex looked as if a hammer had smacked his head...”Good luck with you too...”

     Morgan got back on her bike and peddled off as Alex stood with his head cocked as Will picked up his bike...”She didn’t bust your “Scruffy”.” Will looked at Alex’s face and cocked his head...”Alex? Alexander? Al?”

     Alex shook himself out of a trance...”Huh? What?”

     “You were “oogling” her tail?” Will jabbed.

     “I WAS NOT YOU DORKUS!” Alex snapped back! “She? She was actually not as mean as usual.....that’s all. That’s?.....that’s queer?”

      Will rubbed Alex’s head tuft. “You could have fooled me kid.”

       Alex stiffened up. “You want me to smack you?”

      Will presented his face to his little brother. “Smack away oh infatuated one?”

      Alex tenderly gave Will a kiss on the cheek. “Good thing she didn’t trash my “Scruffy”. If she had trashed my bike Will? Could I have pounded her?”

      “No.” Will replied. “She was in the right. You’re the one who wasn’t looking.”

       Alex huffed. “You always take her side. I wonder just who’s infatuated with her? You’re not a pup-o-phile are you?”

       Will pushed Alex into his bike. “Shut up and get peddling or we’ll be late.”

        Alex was just getting started again when another young mammal glided next to him and Will....”Morning Al!” Kimba Kinnison, a young white lion cub Alex’s age and Alex’s catcher on the baseball team, said with a tooth smile. “You ready to stomp a paw print in that Morgan’s butt or what?”

       Alex looked at Will, who smiled back to let Alex know he could “un-load” his feelings with no worries....

       “Gonna “Kennel” her today!” Alex snapped. “She ran into me this morning!”

      “Alex wasn’t looking where he was going.” Will snickered. “He was too busy gazing at his future wife.”

      “Grrrrrrrrr!” Alex growled back and bore his teeth at Will.

      “Right now?” Kimba yelped. “I’d just settle for creaming those “Sixty Nine’r” dufus’s! No pressure right Alex?”

     “Pressure?” Alex asked.

     “You know Dale Dorse is going to be broadcasting for ZOO 200 radio at the game?” Kimba said excitedly. “He picks a Little League game every week and we got the draw!”

      Alex blew from his mouth....”Oh......thanks for shoveling the pressure Kim!”

      “Bah! Like that’s going to stop you from throwing heat?! Just relax and have fun with it! A great opportunity to rub it into that shorty Corgi’s snoot extra nasty!”

       Alex gestured to Will...”Not if the “Ball and Chain” here has anything to say about it.”

8am
Hill Street, West Downtown Zootopia City

     “Is she alright?” Bill asked his partner Legoshi as the tall grey wolf gently pulled the female pig from her car and put her on an emergency blanket he’d taken from the cruiser. It was only a routine traffic stop for a broken tail light, a non-ticket issue but the moment she saw the size of the wolf leaning over her car? The poor pig fainted from shock.

      “Typical reaction.” Legoshi said as he gently passed a smelling salt pack under the sow’s snoot and brought her around...”Forgive me Mam for scaring you? I know I’m quite the odd wolf out. This is my partner Bill. We were going to talk to you about the broken tail light on your vehicle.”

       Miss Trundle sat up...”I’m sorry for my reaction. Old fables die hard it seems. That light’s been broken for weeks and I’ll be honest? I’ve blown it off. But I do use my arm to signal.”

      “We saw that.” Bill replied. “But no offense Mam? Your arm is no substitute for a working signal light, especially the size of your average pig arm.”

      Legoshi pulled out a ticket book. “I’m afraid I have to issue you a force compliance citation Miss Trundle. You’ll have one day to get the issue fixed. The ticket number is tracked by our central headquarters and if you don’t get it fixed? An officer will be sent to “boot” your car. If you have financial difficulties? You can call the 1-800 number on the ticket for a credit assistance.”

      Miss Trundle took the ticket and gestured to Legoshi...”Your size must cause you to be extra self-conscious. Most average wolf officers I run into tend to be a little more gruff and snappy.”

     “It has its’ advantages.” Legoshi replied. “Now please get that light fixed mam? I don’t want to be the officer called to “boot” your car?”

      Legoshi bad Miss Trundle a good morning and followed Bill back to the cruiser. “Another average stop.” Legoshi said as he slipped into the driver’s seat.

      “Yes.” Bill replied. “You....as averaged.....caused the driver to faint.”

     Legoshi showed off his enormous paws....”It’s the nails. I trim them every morning and they grow right back.”

      “Na...” Bill replied as he played with Legoshi’s jowls. “Your teeth poke out of your lip. You ever think about getting a fang trim?”

     “Dentist scare me.” Legoshi replied as he drove the car onto Zootopia’s inner-highway one. He grabbed the hand mic and flipped a switch...” Central? Car 54 on the roll towards Fruit Market.”

      “Read you 54...” The voice of Ben Clawhauser sounded back.

     Bill pulled out a reports record book and began to scribble down the information from the last traffic stop. “We have a date coming up you know?”

     “Please say it’s at a high school?” Legoshi asked.

     “Nope...elementary.” Bill replied. “Another “Stranger Danger” seminar. I’ll play the stranger this time if you want?”

     “And steal my role as the “big bad wolf”...you’re acting skills are a laugh partner. We have to drill the seriousness of the situation into young mammal’s heads not give them a big cuddle cat to cling too.”

      Bill waved a paw. “Just looking out for the emotional stability of my partner.”

     “You up for a morning Bucky soy biscuit and gravy?” Legoshi asked Bill. “I’ll spot you?”

     “Sure!” Bill replied. “Looks like it’s going to be a nice day.”

     The radio cracked otherwise as Clawhauser called back. “Car 54! You are the closest response unit available. Report to call at 324 Peak Street. Finding of remains...see the store owner at that location at once.”

     Legosi hit the “bubble gum" light switch as Bill grabbed the radio mic...”Rodger! Car 54 in response. Say again the reason for the response over?”

     Clawhawser replied. “Finding of remains in trash dumpster.”

     Bill grimaced. “Copy...we’re on our way.” Bill looked at Legoshi. “So much for that crack about a nice day partner.”

     “Decided to get out of bed finally?” Speedy Cheetah snickered to Alex as he slid to a stop by the team dug out...

     “No.” Alex chirped as he gestured to Will. “I had to drag my ball and chain along with me.”

     Dash the grey spotted Leopard cub pointed to the other dug out. “Is Morgan Wright sick or something? She didn’t say anything about you, she’s not boasting her tail off like usual.”

    “I dunno.” Alex said as he grabbed his glove from his carry rack on his bike. “I just want to play. Is Dale Dorse here?”

     “He’s getting set up.” Speedy said. “Enormous pressure builds upon our star pitcher! Will he surmount the weight or piss on the mound?”

      “He’ll be too busy drooling over Morgan to care.” Will snickered in Alex’s ear.

       “Quit!” Alex snapped back! “You’re trying to make me slip up aren’t you?!”

       “I am not!” Will replied waving his paws.

        Dash gave Alex a shoulder punch...”I have no doubt you’ll kick her butt. Maybe you should try to use a little “wild psych” on her?”

       “I want to make it through the ball game Dash?” Alex snorted.

      In the other dug out...Kitty Borgum was wiping lines of black eye shadow under her pitcher’s eyes...”You ready to stomp that wolf in a mud hole?”

      Note: Kitty Borgum is Kimba the White Lion’s girl friend in the 1968 NBC television cartoon.

     “Don’t hype me up too much Kitty or I might blow it.” Morgan replied. “All I want to think about is the ball and where it goes.”

     “Interesting?” Kitty said snickering.

     “What did that mean?” Morgan asked as she poked her catcher in the chest.

      “Usually? You’re more combative when we talk about Alex, that’s all?” Kitty said with a head tilt. “What gives?”

      “I asked the same thing.” Desirei, a black wool euw fawn playing second base said as she poked herself into the back and forth. “Strangely docile of you Morgan?”

       The female Corgi waved her paws and sighed....”All right! All right! Before all of you start spreading lies on “Critter” and “Furbook”....My mother? Warned me not to get too “growl-lee” with Alex or? I’d be in my room and not on the mound. I have to play.....”nice”.

     “Torture.” Kitty snickered.

     Desirei smiled widely....”If this isn’t a cover story?”

     “Dessy? Don’t tease me?” Morgan growled.

     “What?!” Desirei yelped. “Come on Morgan? I’m only pointing out that despite what you say about Alex? He is....almost.....cute.”

      “That coming from a sheep is abnormal.” Morgan huffed. “I’d qualify myself with a snappy comment but I want to pitch today so I won’t.”

       At a desk behind the pitcher’s mound...Dale Dorse the white and black “My little Pony” with a cherry red flowing mane sat testing his mircophone as he got ready to live stream his chosen Little League game of the week...

      “Bingo, bingo, bingo.....wah, wah.wah....”Winnneeeeeoooooh!” Dale said into his Microphone....”Are we ready to go Felix?” Dale asked his equipment specialist.

      “My bag of tricks is switched on boss.” Felix the cat replied.

      Dale started to dance in his seat.....”Hit the smack there electro Kitten!”

      Felix turned on the back track, the Bee Gees “Night Fever”, as Dale started his introduction...!

Dale Dorse: GOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING ZOOTOPIA! This is Dale Dorse, the Amazing Horse of Zoe Zoe 200 FM radio coming to you from Ferrit’s Frolic Field here in Vapor Road in the Rainforest district! This is my Little League game of the week between the Tundra Track and Wreckers Club and the Savanna 69th street Maulers, two of the top teams in the Western City division. This promises to be quite a match as both teams possess two of the best division pitchers, who I understand have had a gritty rivalry between each other since Kindergarten!

Dale Dorse: Pitching today for the Wreckers is eight year old Alex Grey with a record of seven wins, one loss and two saves. Alex loves bikes, airsoft, cheese stuffed corn dogs and tail chase dancing. It’s said he has a mean fast hook and super fast drop ball among his arsenal of tricks. He’s going to need them for sure against his bitter rival Morgan Wright of the 69ners. This eight year old Corgi is a little bag of dynamite with a record of eight wins, zero loses and two saves. She enjoys coloring, biking, wild running and obstacle courses for her favorite treats from her mother. She brings a devilish curve ball, a wicked slider and a mean disposition to the mound. Hopefully she won’t come looking to kill me for saying she was “little”....speaking of Morgan?

      Morgan walked up to the desk and swooned over Dale...”What do you use for your mane?”

     Dale scribbled on a piece of paper. “This my cute Corgie...but I wouldn’t change what you’re doing at all.”

     “Was that a proposal?” Morgan asked with a smile.

     “Don’t drool too much Morgan or you’ll dehydrate yourself.” Alex said as he stood behind Morgan with Will. “Mister Dorse? Can I have your autograph?” Alex asked.

     “I should be asking you two for autographs?” Dale replied.

     “Better be separate.” Morgan yipped. “I can feel the fleas jumping off him already.”

     “Ha...ha....ha.....” Alex joke laughed. “Id stay and chat but I have a game to win you know?”

     Morgan looked around for her mother and got snoot to snoot with Alex...”When I said...”My the best pitcher win?”....I obviously meant me. You always were the best at chasing tails Alex...keep it up?”

    “Keep your eyes on my dust when my ball blows by your snoot. Don’t forget your ladder by the way? Morgan.” Alex said as he took his autograph from Dale and walked away...

    “I could feel the heaters coming off that exchange.” Dale said smiling. “I sense a great game today.”

    Morgan smiled back at Dale and teased his red mane...”You might get to see a massacre if you’re lucky Mister Dorse?” Morgan gave Dale a kiss on the nose and the Pony shook himself as Morgan walked away...

    “She is “way, way” to old for her age.” Dale yelped to himself as Felx leaned over in his chair...

     “You’re turning redder boss.” The cat snickered.

     “Shut up and stick to your job Felix?” Dale replied as he grabbed his headset. “Ok folks....I just had an interesting conversation with the rival pitchers for todays game and I think we’re going to see an awesome duel of preteen pluggery, there is no love lost between these fire brands that’s for sure....today’s team rosters are...

Dale Dorse: Ok my friends....the first team at bat will be picked by the toss of a coin, Umpire Shenzy is gesturing the rival pitchers to come to the pitcher’s mound....

      Morgan and Alex walked up to Shenzy as she stood holding a fifty cent Zootopian coin in her paw....”Ok...I’ll toss. The call if right, that team will bat first...and of course we will allow the ladies first pick so Miss Wright? You call the landing.” Shenzi flicked the coin into the air!”

“Tails!” Morgan yipped.

The coin landed on heads. “Heads!” Shenzy yelped. “The 69ers will take the field! The Wreckers will bat first! Both pitchers shake hands and wish the other good luck!”

     Morgan stuck out her paw and snickered. “Don’t cry too hard ok?”

     Alex snickered in reply...”Just remember your ladder. You’re still not legal in the batter zone there.....”Midgy”.

     Both pups looked back at each other with slanted eyes. This game was going to be a slug fest for sure.”

    Legoshi and Bill followed Mister Adler (A brown bear) out to the alley next to his store...

    “So I’m getting ready to open up this morning and I’m carrying out the trash and this is what I see..” The bear said as he pointed into the trash dumpster. There among the bags of trash....was the limbless piece of a body....or what was a mammal before someone chopped “it” up like a slab of beef. All that was left was the rump, tail and waist portion...

    Bill had to turn around...not because he might have been sickened but because his predation urges had hit him. Legoshi however took deep breaths and had himself “square and centered” to start asking questions and taking notes...

    “Bill? We better call Lieutenant Hopps in investigations about this? I’m pretty sure “it” was once a rabbit? Tail’s a “big giver”...”

     Legoshi pulled on a pair of average cloth work gloves as trying to use rubber gloves wouldn’t work with his “paws n claws”. He turned the remains over to check out the genitals...”Male....young from the look of the penis and sack.” Legoshi turned to Mister Adler...”What time did you discover this? Do you have cameras around your business? Any interesting mammals visiting you more than often in the past week?”

     Bill came back after a bit...”You alright partner? Can you handle this?”

    “I can control myself now.” Bill replied with a paw wave. “But it’s best that the lieutenant handle the “hands on” details. How long do you think “he’s” been dead or in that dumpster?” Bill asked Legoshi.

     “I could do a sniff test on the remains but that’s not an accurate assessment and I won’t do that unless ordered.” Legoshi replied. “Mister Adler? When was the last time you checked this dumpster before you found the remains?”

     “Day before yesterday and it was clean.” Adler replied.

     Legoshi grabbed his shoulder Mic...”First Prink this is Officer Legoshi on scene with Officer Bill? 10-79 at 324 Peak Street with a SILO (Scene Investigation Liason Officer). Victim appears to be of the rodent species of rabbit, remains are brown and white fur only torso with genitals of a male, body was dismembered over?”

      Clawhauser replied mournfully...”Copy that. 10-79 with SILO on route, continue your investigation processing over.”

      “Copy.” Legoshi replied with a sigh.

      Bill looked towards the dumpster...”Who ever did it was pretty good to stick with details.”

      Legoshi cocked his head. “Why?”

      “Can’t you smell it?” Bill asked. “The remains stink like Chlorox bleach. The perp probably washed the carcass before they dumped it to kill all the evidence we might find.”

      Legoshi moaned yet remained un-phased in his work. “Let’s stick to the essentials of right now Bill. Go get the tape and block this whole alley way off. I’ll go feral and start sniffing for scents and traces. If you can? Start getting pictures.”

     Bill nodded....”I’m fresh...just had to fight those urges you know? Maybe choosing to be a cop was a poor idea?”

     “If it was? You would have washed from the acadamy.” Legoshi replied.
