I need my diaper changed!” Will yelled out as he pranced through the Mall with Alex and Morgan right behind him...\n\n     “You’re not loud enough big brother!” Alex yelped! “Everyone’s gotta hear you!”\n\n    “Yeah!” Morgan joined in. “Scream you big baby!”\n\n      Will had his white socks rolled down to his ankles, a Barney the Dinosaur diaper taped up over his “rump n stump” and a blue baby bonnet on his head as well as a blue blanket trailing from one of his paws as he screamed out...”MOMMY! WHERE’S MY MOMMY?! I NEED MY DIAPER CHANGED!”\n\n       Mammals who caught the site of Will as they shopped...stopped to cock their heads over in bewilderment, pulled their smart phones out to get a posting “snappy” or blew their morning coffee or food from their mouths as they laughed themselves silly at the teen wolf’s embarrassing predicament!\n\n      “HAS ANY ONE SEEM MY MOMMY?! WAAAAAAAAH!” “AAAWOOOOOOOOOO.....!” Will cried and howled as he walked up one side of the Mall then down the other side with Alex and Morgan enjoying every second of embarrassment...\n\n       All except Ako....the female otter couldn’t keep her eyes of Will’s wagging tail....\n\n        “Hmph! Diaper fettish there Ako?” Morgan huffed at her friend.\n\n        “Maybe for you!” Ako replied. “Alex? How come your brother’s such a hunk?”\n\n        “Why you asking me?” Alex snorted. “Right now he’s just a big fat loser. More crying Will!” Alex snapped at his brother! He took a swig of the water he was carrying then tried to pour it down the back of Will’s diaper when the bigger wolf slapped him hard off the nose! \n\n         “Yipe!” Alex yipped loudly!\n\n         “Try that again and you’ll eat this diaper!” Will snapped.\n\n         “What? The? Hell?” A voice sounded and Will grimaced at the thought of who it was...\n\n          Shane was a Golden Retriever in Will’s mechanics class at school and he came walking up from behind as Will pranced and suckled a paw thumb...”Dude? What the hell?” Shane said confused.\n\n         “Hey Goldie?!” Alex snapped. “You’re stopping progress!”\n\n         “Shut up tail nipper.” Shane replied. “Will? What are you doing dude?”\n\n         “I lost a bet to my shadow back there so I have to suffer for it.” Will snorted. “Little scam artist.”\n\n         “Just for that!?” Alex huffed back. “I’ll tell Mom and you’ll do it again Will! Come on....more feeling there big brother, I’m not feeling the urgency!”\n\n         “Chop chop Will!” Morgan snorted.\n\n          “Dude? You could have told the little snit head no.” Shane said as he walked next to Will. \n\n          “You don’t know my parents do you Shane?” Will replied. “MOMMY! WHERE’S MY MOMMY?! I NEED MY DIAPER CHANGED!”\n\n          “It’s almost over any way there Goldie.” Alex said with a shrug. Suddenly....Shane stopped and smacked Alex off the nose!\n\n           “YIPE!” The young wolf cried!\n\n           “You call me “Goldie” one more time you little snit? And you’re going into the Mall fountain after I kick your tail in.” Shane snarled.\n\n            “Will?!” Alex cried. “He hit me!”\n\n            “Well? When someone gets upset because you keep calling them something offensive? Take it as a lesson.” Will replied.\n\n               Shane pulled out his smart phone and took a picture of Will. “Oh? By the way dude? You look adorable. You know this is going into our class year book don’t you?”\n\n               “You’re such a nice dog Shane.” Will snorted. “Well? I’m done with this.”\n\n             “No you’re not!” Alex yelped! “You’re done when I say you are!”\n\n         Will stomped up to Alex and growled at him...”I’m done...any questions Alex?”\n\n          “You still have to pee in them.” Alex huffed. “Remember? You don’t and I’ll tell mom.”\n\n           “Tell Mom...” Will replied. “It wasn’t in the bet so I’m not doing it. You had your fun for the day. Just remember Alex? If I find out that you and Morgan schemed to cheat on this bet? You’re not going to like what I have planned for you. If I were you? I’d be thinking hard of admitting your guilt before bed tonight.”\n\n           Morgan crossed her arms and growled...”I don’t care how dizzy Ako is about you Will? You’re a big jerk and a sore loser.”\n\n           “I’d watch my mouth if I were you....\"Sniper.“ ” Will replied as he growled Morgan’s baseball nick name. “Any way? I’m done. Hey Shane? Wanna go get something to eat?”\n\n           “You gonna change?” Shane asked as he pointed.\n\n            “Eh? What’s done is done, not like anyone in here right now is gonna care now that the shock value’s died down. I’m crazy hungry.” Will said as he thumb pointed. “I gotta get my back pack first.”\n\n            Morgan turned to Ako...”Ako? Stop gazing, you look like a crazy stalker.”\n\n           “But he’s just so cute.” Ako sighed. “Gawd Alex? Where do your good looks come from?” Ako elbow butted Morgan. “You are being so dumb.”\n\n        “Ako? Don’t push me?” Morgan huffed. “Now that this is over? Alex? You have to fill your part of the deal.”\n\n         “I am your obedient slave my mistress.” Alex replied with a bow. “Where too?”\n\n         “My house.” Morgan replied. “I have all the things a good slave needs.”\n\n        “I bet she does.” Ako giggled.\n\n        “Grrrrrr....” Morgan growled at Ako.\n\n‭[b]Day two\n11am\nDowntown Zootopia\nKorado Sushi and Steak House[/b][b][/b]\n\n       Legoshi and Bill walked through the front door and saw Luis sitting at a table....”Hey!” The Red Deer said with a hoof wave. He acted like he’d not seen his two classmates in decades, getting up to offer his hoof hand as they walked up...\n\n       “Legoshi....William....It’s been too long.” Luis said as he shook paws and shoulders.\n\n       “Mister Mayor.” Bill said with a toothy smile. “Look at that suit! You’ve always dressed with class Lu, you never change.”\n\n       Luis patted Legoshi’s arm. “Forgive me for not offering you a personal congratulations when you passed the academy Legoshi. Well done.”\n\n      “As if I ever was going to feel slighted by you.” Legoshi replied. “I must say sorry for not reciprocating when you won the election...as if that wasn’t a forgone conclusion? How are you doing it Luis? Juggling two careers has to be difficult.”\n\n      “Beh! Child’s play.” Luis replied as he waved a hoof hand. “One compliments the other. Right now my two big focus “afflictions” if you want to look at things that way are the production of “Wallace” and this issue of a possible serial killer in our city. Legoshi? I honestly could use your skills again, the current director in my humble opinion is sub-par in performance, he’s miserable when it comes to timing and presentation. You understand the esthetics, the minutia of lighting, sound and time. I need you on our next performance.”\n\n       “It depends on my schedule.” Legoshi replied.\n\n       “You can get the time off Legoshi?” Bill said. “Will you refuse a fellow classmate’s request?”\n\n       “I can’t understand this reluctance in you Legoshi.” Luis said. “I’m not asking you to leave the police department. Just come and give our current director some of your wisdom and inspiration for one performance, I beg you.”\n\n       Legoshi sighed...”Of course I’m not going to refuse a class mate’s request. But how’s life in general Luis? Being mayor must be a great deal of stress even for one like you who’s known for natural leadership ability.”\n\n     “I find ways to channel...which is why I stayed with acting after leaving the academy. I can pour all my emotional frustrations into my performances. Of interest to you two by the way? I am pushing a bill through the city counsel to give the ZPD a sixty percent raise in pay and benefits. Our city has been so prosperous as of late, we should not neglect our first responders who keep it safe for us to progress so rapidly.” Luis reacted to the smiles on his friends faces. “I see you both agree?”\n\n     “Sixty percent?” Bill said cheerfully. “Lu? You are the bomb!”\n\n     “That’s wonderful news.” Legoshi said as he wagged his tail. “The appreciation won’t go unpaid we assure you.”\n\n     “It’s not a done deal yet you two.” Luis replied. “But I believe it’s as you’d say...”bagged and tagged”? I am pushing for it because I want to unleash the ZPD against organized crime...specifically the five families of Tundra Town. I believe they have been allowed to get away with too much for too long.”\n\n     Bill gasped. “You’re going to tread into environments that might get you killed Luis?”\n\n    Luis replied...”As if I’ve ever been scared of anyone Bill? I once shoved a 45 pistol down your mouth when you angered me remember? Polar bears are brutes but they’re not mountains.”\n\n    Legoshi sounded concerned...”Just don’t do anything crazy Lu? Don’t give them a big reason to want you dead.”\n\n    “I fully trust the ZPD to handle anything.” Luis replied. “Now enjoy your lunch gentle-mammals? We can find other light hearted things to discuss can’t we?”\n\n‭[b]Day two\n11am\nDowntown Little Rodentia\nZPD Precinct Five\n“Fort Bronco”[/b][b][/b]\n\n     “See?! I told you I didn’t do anything and you still accosted me! I never...never once have told you anything that wasn’t true Officer Mick and still? You make me strip! My sensitive nature’s been offended! My pride destroyed! My sanctity of youth violated! I might even suit all you lugs!” Tony Toponi yelped as he walked through the central processing room.\n\n     “Is that “Tony Tearjerker” again?” Justin (Secret of Nimh) the chief of Precinct Five huffed. “What now Toponi?”\n\n     “Well? Just the rodent I need to see.” Tony huffed. “I want to file a complaint of wrongful detention and mental anguish against your precinct buddy boy! Me! a young and very innocent mouse made to strip naked and have his dignity paraded shamefully for all to see out of suspicion that I committed a per-loin-ious felony....which clearly I didn’t!”\n\n      “Nice speech Tony.” Justin said. “You running for city counsel?\n\n      “By the way?” Tony replied. “I won’t file my complaint against Officer Mick here. At least he knows how to care about young vulnerable and very impressionable mice like me you know? He’s a real swell. At least I had a blanket and a comfortable bench to rest upon while I napped to await my obvious innocence to be proven after I was so cruelly and perverse-lee debased.”\n\n      Justin shook his head and turned to officer Mickey Oswald. “Mickey? Get him out of here before I have to call the fire department to save us from the “crap-nami”? But be warned Toponi? We’re watching you like a hawk.”\n\n       “You all certainly got good pictures of my sweet tail hole.” Tony snickered back as he tucked his paws into his pants pockets and followed Mickey through processing. “Loves you all flat feet! I’ll come by later with doughnuts for all of yah just to show your lovable lug Tony Toponi forgives all grudges!”\n\n      Justin smiled and chuckled...If the rumors were right about Tony Toponi, he was certainly the nicest gang leader worthy of some close shaves and a few passes...so long as he didn’t get crazy and kept helping the precinct from time to time.\n\n     Justin’s cell phone suddenly chimed....”Precinct Five, Chief Justin.” Justin said as he answered.\n\n     “Chief, this is Lieutenant Wilde from “First Prinky”? I’m calling because I need some of your officers on short notice...”\n\n     “Don’t have to request Lieutenant, Bogo already called me. You’ll get SWAT at the side gate at 11:30. Twenty officers in tactical gear.” Justin said. “Hopefully we’ll nail this dirt bag today. I have plenty of worried parents around here keeping their kittens home from school. You can’t tell them enough that the possibility of rodents being snatched up from here without the offender getting seen is quite low and yet you know...mice will be mice even with thirty foot iron fences protecting them. Everything is an excuse for a “worry n Scurry”.”\n\n     Judy replied. “Appreciate the assist Justin. I promise we’ll make sure your officers are kept safe.”\n\n    “I’m more worried about the Commander of my SWAT team doing something crazy more than anything else.” Justin replied chuckling. “You can’t easily tell a “go getter” cop not to be risky. Keep an eye on Tackleberry will you?”\n\n    “I promise I will.” Judy replied. \n\n‭[b]Day two\n11:30am\nBunny Burrough\nThe warren of the Hopps family[/b][b][/b]\n\n     Nick un-buckled Jackson from the car seat and carried him through the white picket gate of the Hopps family....what exactly would you call a house built to contain over 500 rabbits at once? Nick was still at a loss for words at the monster ten story structure that was as long as an Iowa class battleship, the majority of it unseen as it was built into the side of a gently sloping hill...\n\n    Rabbits were of course...all over the place. Some engaged in the daily work of keeping up the family farm and business, others...especially the youngsters....ran about with crazy abandon or sat and stood around texting their fingers over their phones like mad or screaming and playing about so loudly that there was actually a danger of going deaf from the noise...\n\n    In the midst of the chaos, coming the other way down the front walk, was a huge pot belly fox and a smaller weasel in overalls. Gideon Gray waved a paw in greeting....\n\n   “Morning Nick! Been a while.” The bigger fox said as he extended a paw. “Where’s Judy?” Gideon asked.\n\n   “Being herself.” Nick replied as he stood bouncing Jackson in his arms.\n\n    “Would you look at this sprite Travis?” Gideon said as he put his arms out. “Come here you little squeak.” Gideon said as he bad Nick to let him hold Jackson. “Well haven’t you grown since I last saw you?” Gideon said as he tweaked Jackson’s nose.\n\n     “He’s going to be huge.” Travis said as he wiggled Jackson’s foot. “So Nick? What got you out here?” Travis asked.\n\n     “I needed some father/son time.” Nick replied. “Actually? I was thinking about scoring a free pie by vicarious manipulation.”\n\n    “Well shoot....” Gideon huffed. “As if I’d say no? In fact? How would you like to be a Ginny Pig? I asked the Ginny’s to come for free samples and they didn’t commit.”\n\n    “He never says the right words you know.” Travis snickered.\n\n   “I wasn’t asking your opinion Travis?” Gideon snorted. “Any way? I have a new pie that’s actually tailored to Vulpine taste buds so maybe asking Ginny’s for their opinions wasn’t exactly the best foot forward.”\n\n    Nick rubbed his snoot...”I wouldn’t mind a taste. How about during dinner? Bring some by the house here?”\n\n    “Sure can do that.” Gideon replied. “But you can’t leave the Burrough without passing by my house. The wife would enjoy your company.”\n\n     “I’ll certainly do that.” Nick replied as he took Jackson. “Oops? When Jackie starts fussing, that’s the cue to get him on his feet before he starts kicking teeth. See you this evening Gideon.”\n\n    “Certainly Nick.” Gideo replied. “And good seeing you. Let’s go get a fresh pie ready there Travis.” Gideon said to his partner as they walked to Gideon’s delivery truck.\n\n    “Daddy! Put me down? I wanna go play!” Jackson fussed.\n\n    “Well, well? Finally my son complains a little.” Nick smiled. “Don’t you want to see Grand pa and Granny?”\n\n    “They’re not gonna vanish are they? Put me down!” Jackson protested.\n\n    “Can’t fight the spirit of the bunny huh?” Nick said as he put Jackson on his feet. “Go run yourself crazy kido!”\n\n     “Why the nerve of our grandson to go run off with his 178 little cousins! We feel so slighted!” Stewart “Stu” Hopps bellowed as he stood at the door to his house. “Good to see you Nicholas!” The big portly farm rabbit said as he waved his paw. “Get over here you!”\n\n    “Nicholas? Only my mother called me that kiddy name but what the hell....how you doing Dad!” Nick yelped as he walked up, picked Stu off the ground and hugged him! “Been a while you old dust mop!”\n\n    “You dirty, flea ridden Hombrah bastard.” Stu replied as he gave Nick a light stomach punch! “Judy didn’t come huh?”\n\n    “Your daughter is your daughter.” Nick replied. “She didn’t tell you?”\n\n    “Not like we’re not aware of it.” Stu said as he led Nick into the chaos of orderly maihem that usually defines a rabbit house. Lunch was just in the process of being served and it wouldn’t stop being served until 2pm. Nick made his way through the big dining hall where rabbits of all ages were moving in, eating, moving out or bringing in and removing plates, cups and silverware like a well oiled machine...\n\n     “How’s Bonnie Stu?” Nick asked as they passed through the enormous kitchen where bunnies down to diapers were doing everything from cutting up greens to cooking on stoves to washing dishes to drying dishes to flipping through cook books...\n \n     “She’s pregnant again.” Stu replied smiling.\n\n     “Can all these kittens cook?” Nick asked...then he caught what Stu said....\n\n     “Get out of here?! Bonnie’s pregnant again?! Sheesh....do you two ever stop to catch a breath?” Nick asked.\n\n      “This is the end of the line Nick.” Stu said waving a paw. “After this? Bonnie is done, no more kittens.”\n\n      Nick and Stewart made their way up a flight of stairs to Bonnie’s nursery room where the matriarch of the Hopps family sat knitting a wool blanket...\n\n      “Look who dropped in “Bons”.” Stu said as he gestured to his Son in Law.\n\n     “Nick...!” Bonnie said as she got up to kiss Nick.\n\n     “Uh? An expecting mother should relax.” Nick said as he gestured Bonnie back to her chair and kissed her forehead. “Afternoon Mother.”\n\n     “Did you come yourself?” Bonnie asked.\n\n     “Nope.” Nick replied waving a paw...”My “cute side” is off raising insanity someplace. Seems he preferred to play with his cousins than come see you.” Nick said as he pointed to Bonnie’s stomach. “Uh? How long are you?”\n\n      “Next week.” Bonnie replied. “After this? No more. The doctor told me it’s a five brood and all males so I’m going out in style.”\n\n      Nick smiled as he shook his head...”I just don’t see how you bunnies can handle it. We foxes settle for five kids at best. You rabbits go nuts and yet you manage to handle it all so well.”\n\n      Stewart stood with pride and approval. “It’s all in how you raise them, especially with a farm as big as ours there’s no room for disorganized wild kits. All our children are very independent yet at the same time, family and the values that bind us hold the whole thing together. The whole family is a big school of basic management. Don’t let some of the wild running youngsters fool you. All our kittens know how to account for every blade of grass on the lawn by the time they’re in Kindergarten.”\n\n      “Stewart?” Bonnie chuckled. “You’re so over-blowing the simplistic. Bunny families are tight Nick, it’s in our nature to have an organized house. I bet Judy drives you crazy sometimes with her own quirky neatness. She got it from my side of the family by the way...Stewart is a complete pig.”\n\n       Nick chuckled...”Trust me...I drive your daughter crazy. More so in bed than anywhere.”\n\n       Suddenly....Jackson came into the room with two of his cousins, Dexter and his bigger more plump brood-brother Mason behind him...\n“GAMMY! GAMPY!” Jackson yelped as he hopped into Stewart’s arms!\n\n     “My little light as a fly!” Stewart cheered as he hugged Jackson tightly and kissed his cheek....”Mmm.....mmmmwah! How’s my bouncy Grandson of many?”\n\n     “Good!” Jackson replied with a wide smile. “I can read big books now!”\n \n    “You can?!” Stewart said surprised.\n\n    “Yup....” Nick said with nodding pride...”He can read Hairy Patter without breaking a sentence. I’m telling you Stu? My son’s going to be a lawyer or maybe the mayor.”\n\n    “Nah nah!” Jackson yelped back. “Gonna be like my Godfather and have a big polar bear as a Capo!”\n\n    Stu shook his head...”You need to keep him from the television.”\n\n   “Yeeeeah....” Nick replied feigning ignorance. “We binge “L.A. Paw” and Jackie catches all the dialog.”\n\n    Stewart gave Jackson to Bonnie, “Here’s “Jack Jack” Bonnie. I’m taking Nick to see the latest harvest and tell him about Gideon’s expansion plans.”\n\n    Stu led Nick back through the house. “Let me tell you Nick...having many children may be a chore but it’s more of a blessing.”\n\n    Nick shook his head....”No Stu....we’re not having any more. In fact? I’m thinking about having my nuts snipped.”\n\n    Stu stopped cold...”Nick? Think about...”\n\n    “We have thought about it.” Nick replied. “We were lucky with Jackson. I’m not risking Judy’s life with multiple births. You’re her Father Stu? I thought you’d feel the same way?”\n\n    “It’s a force of tradition Nick, forgive me. Of course you’re correct.” Stewart said.\n\n    “Is?.....Is Earl all right?” Nick asked as he brought up Stewart’s grandfather. “I haven’t seen him.”\n\n    “He’s still around.” Stu replied. “He can’t hear now and he’s pretty frail but not frail enough to change himself. I’m sorry...”\n\n     “It’s just so wrong.” Nick said as he sighed. “His old hates...his abusive words to Judy the last time she was here?....to my son?....sigh... You know I had to bite my teeth for Judy’s sake and not start a war Stu.”\n\n     “Nick? You are not going to melt that old rabbit’s stone heart, not going to happen in a thousand years so best not to try.” Stu said sadly. “It’s such a shame too...how could anyone resist Jackson? I mean he is such a stunner....sorry he’s not more fox.”\n\n      “My color, my eyes and my teeth....not to mention my intelligence, he has those gifts from me. Just don’t tell Judy about the intelligence part or she’ll cut off my tail and fly it off the cruiser’s radio antenna.” Nick said as he walked with Stewart towards the big barn in the farm field next to the family home...\n\n      “Any way?” Stewart changed the subject. “How would you like to taste the latest incarnation of my famous fermented juice? I think you’ll love the taste of it.”\n\n     “As long as I don’t get stone drunk.” Nick replied.\n\n‭[b]Day two\n11:55am\nLittle Rodentia\nThe secondary services gate\nBronco SWAT unit, Captain Tackleberry commanding[/b][b][/b]\n\n     “Oh snit...he’s on his glory trip again.” Officer Chitters whispered to his partner, Officer Elwood as they stood in ranks. “When he’s got those silly “Raybans” on? Yup....drunk with the power.”\n\n     “Feel sorry for him dude.” Elwood said smirking. “It’s the only sex partner he has in the whole known world.”\n\n     Captain Tackleberry stopped to rise on his feet and placed his paws behind his back...”Good afternoon SWAT-RATS!”\n \n     “Sir!” One mouse yelped back. “I’m not a RAT! That was offensive!”\n\n     “Noted!” Tackleberry snapped. “Take your complaint up to M.R. (Mammal Relations) they do give out nice free cry rags for your gashing tail hole.”\n\n      All the mice giggled.\n\n      “Now! We have been requested to support Lieutenant Wilde from First Prinky in the pursuit and apprehension of a suspected serial killer stalking Zootopia! The suspect has slain three little ones and there’s fear he has more in his custody! Our role is to snoop and report, not engage! We’ll be covering Wilde’s team blind spots to make sure this dirt bag doesn’t slip out of our grasp!”\n\n      A mouse officer raised his paw...\n\n      “What is it Shirley?” Tackleberry asked the female mouse among the SWAT team....\n\n      “Sir! We have the capable equipment to bring down bigger vermin. Are we going to take it with us? I mean....to just be observers and not try to take this creep down ourselves?” Shirley asked.\n\n      “It’s not my call.” Tackleberry replied. “Lieutenant Hopps has delegated us to a support role because of her concern for our safety out in the world. We don’t know the size nor species of the suspect in question. Lieutenant Wilde is just being cautious. No use trying to argue with her about this.”\n\n       Tackleberry saw another paw go up. “Yes....Grooberman?”\n\n       “I respect the Lieutenant but uh?....I’m sick of being looked upon as some plushy cute cartoon animal...how about the rest of you?”\n\n       The other mice voiced their own frustrations....”Come on! Let’s take the big guns with us! We’re not flowers Captain! Come on Boss?! We know you want to kick tail!”\n\n       Tackleberry clenched his teeth....”I’m sure I’m going to get my tail cut off with a carving knife over this but? Oh the hell...go get the big guns! I’ll have it out with Lieutenant Wilde.”\n\n       The mouse SWAT unit cheered wildly as some of them ran to their tactical trucks to get the pieces of their “Big guns” for assembly.\n\n‭[b]Day two\n12:30pm\nMorgan Wright’s house, Rain Forest.[/b][b][/b]\n\n[b]You know it happens every summer\nThe minute school lets out\nAll the surfers and their honeys\nStart to scream and shout\nCamping out at the beaches\nThey won't be home for days\nYeah, everybody's gone crazy\nwith the surfin' craze[/b][b][/b]\n\n[i]You'll see them surfin'\nat Redondo Beach\nSurfin' craze\nIn the T.J.

Two “Pup pops” chop chop!” Morgan commanded.\n\n  “Yes mistress!” Alex replied as he ran into the house and came back out with two bottles of soda and a pair of glasses with ice cubes in them. All he was dressed in was his sneakers, his cartoon under roos, a red colored dog collar and a black leash wrapped over his neck and shoulders. The whole display had Ako fuming with a sour puss...\n\n    “Morgan! This is just wrong!” The female otter snorted.\n\n    “It’s not wrong if Alex agreed to do it.” Morgan replied with her snoot turned up. “He’s not bothered by it.” Morgan replied.\n\n    “Well I am!” Ako growled as she waddled up to Morgan’s chair. “Alex?! Go get dressed?! This is stupid and degrading.”\n\n     “Actually? I’m having fun with it.” Alex said smiling. “You should have seen you mom’s girl friend Morgan? I think she’s still in shock in the kitchen.”\n\n      “If she calls your Mom Morgan? You’re dead.” Ako huffed.\n\n      “I dunno?” Alex said as he rubbed his chin...”After I butt flashed her girl friend? I might be the one leaving in an ambulance. But? A deal is a deal and I am bound to honor it.”\n\n       Ako waved her paws...”I’m just not comfortable with you wearing a dog collar, a leash and just your underwear Alex. Morgan? At least have him wear his shorts?!”\n\n      “I’m not into all that dog against wolf stuff!” Alex huffed. “That’s for dumb adults to complain over. You know I’ll never say anything bad about Morgan outside the diamond. Ako? You don’t like my under roos?”\n\n      “No I don’t!” Ako huffed back. “You’re thing is popping out...”\n\n      “Enough....” Morgan huffed back. “Go ahead and get your shorts on Alex so Ako doesn’t freak out and faint from seeing your dopey ding a ling?”\n\n      Alex turned around and shook his butt and tail at Ako...”I’m....to sexy for my roos...too sexy for my roos...my butt is fluffy like Charleston Chews!”\n\n      Ako wasn’t impressed....she bit down on the tip of Alex’s tail and made him run for the house! “GET YOUR SHORTS ON!” She snapped!\n\n      “You’re such a wet blanket Ako.” Morgan huffed. \n\n       “You want too feel my teeth next Morgan?” Ako replied. “I don’t care if Alex doesn’t have a problem with doing what you tell him, don’t make him wear a collar and leash again or I’ll go home and never speak to you again.

As she turned to walk back to the pool, Morgan ran up behind her and wrapped her arms and paws around her...\n\n       “Morgan?” Ako chirped.\n\n       “Please don’t be angry with me Ako?” Morgan asked as she snuggled Ako’s back. “Please? You’re really the only close friend I have.”\n\n      “Oh my gawd you are so insecure.” Ako said as she turned around and kissed Morgan on the forehead. “I love you...” Ako said playfully.\n\n      “Awwwww.....when’s the wedding?” Alex said as he stood smiling.\n\n \n     Morgan looked at Ako....”Wanna see if we can make a wolf skip across water like a rock?”\n\n     “snicker”....”Science experiment.” Ako said evilly.\n\n     Morgan gestured with a paw finger to Alex...”Come here my slave?”\n\n     “Oh snit!” Alex yelped as Morgan and Ako gave chase!  \n\n‭[b]Day two\n12:30am\nBunny Burrough\nThe warren of the Hopps family[/b][b][/b]\n\n      Nick and Stu sat by the big rabbit’s alcohol still with the red fox rolling his tongue around his mouth and across his teeth after he’d drank a shot of Stu’s latest creation....\n\n     “Lick” “lick”....”smack”.....”smack”......a hint of mint..... “Lick” “lick”....”smack”.....”smack”.....mmmmm? A dash of cloves.... “Lick” “lick”....”smack”.....”smack”......there’s the carrot juice obviously....not....not bad this one Stewart.” Nick said as he smiled. “Glad this is just a shot. How much proof is in this?”\n\n     “That’s just watered down.” Stu replied. “I already have seven kegs worth of the really hard stuff that will punch you right in the face. But what you tried is going to the market as legal sale.”\n\n      “When did you start making shine?” Nick asked. “And don’t worry, I’m not on duty mind you.”\n\n      “I have a license.” Stewart replied. “It was Early who ran shine back in the day when it was flat illegal, that old coot. You know I’ve been meaning to finish the work I’ve been doing on his old rum runner car but I’ve not found the time to do it. I might just bury the fossil in it when he finally dies.”\n\n      “Gee?” Nick said. “Feel the love.”\n\n     “It’s exactly what Early would want Nick.” Stu said waving a paw around as he and Nick lay on a hay pile. “I’ll pickle him in a cask, put him in the back seat and bury him out in the field. Knowing his angry old butt? My farm lands will grow fallow and my “scare-bear” will come alive and strangle me to death.”\n\n      Nick smirked and cocked his head....”Stewart? Sometimes you are just strange. I think you need to see a head shrink.”\n\n     “You run a house with a bizillion bunnies and keep sane you scruffy evil hombrah defiler of my daughter.” Stewart snorted.\n\n     “Shut up you meat on a skewer little fat delicious bastard.” Nick replied growling. “It’s the booze talking. Sorry Dad.”\n\n     Stu looked at Nick....”Seriously Nick? Is your heart into being a police officer? Because if it’s not? I’m more than willing to have you on as a manager of my distillery. I actually make a good profit besides the farming. Wouldn’t be much and you could put more time into giving Jackson your undivided love and affection.”\n\n     “I’m not ready to go that slow with life just yet Stu.” Nick said as he stretched himself out over the hay...”Like you said? Judy might talk about wanting to be a top Sheriff out here but she’s so not going to do it because there’s little excitement out here. Mind you I would not pass up the offer save that I need to be with Judy to push her towards her life goals. Where she jumps? I jump.”\n\n     “You know? You never told me what attracted you to my daughter to begin with? Judy hasn’t even opened up to the wife and myself. I think it’s because deep down inside she’s worried we still harbor deep resentment that she chose a fox because of our faith. But Bon and I weren’t as bad as Early, at least we kept open minds until you sat with us and explained the “Book of the Rabbits” in detail. Hombrah were not created by Lord Frith to be the rabbit’s enemy but to force their restraint. Old stories and legends die hard.\n\n       “Early on in our relationship...she felt the same way.” Nick replied ”she was terrified of you two, of Early. When she took that pregnancy test and saw that blue strip? She told me the first words out of her mouth were what you two would think of her...and....it wasn’t flattering. She was scared piss-less. One of the main things driving her towards an abortion was the fear you two would kick her from the family and brand her a shameless whore.”\n\n       Stewart sighed....”Boy....not that far from the truth at the start. But it was my Bonnie who bore her teeth about it.....first at me? Then at Early, her look alone should have killed that old goat. We were hesitant of course...old thoughts and teachings are very hard to break...specially among rabbit males.”\n\n      Nick sat up. “What attracted me to Judy? She cares...she’s very honest....she’s totally fearless and un-afraid to admit when she’s wrong and she’s genuine with her feelings. I knew the moment she sought me out when she found out the truth about the Savage cause and she lowered herself and poured her heart out that she was wrong? I knew... She was it. She was the one I wanted to be with, my soul mate...my beloved. Guess I fit the fox mold in one way Stu...I am greedy when it comes to my toys, I’ll bite to keep them....uh? That wasn’t right, your daughter isn’t a toy, I don’t think of her as a “plushy” you know...”\n\n      “Chill Nick.” Stu said waving a paw.\n\n     “So how did you and Bonnie meet?” Nick asked.\n\n     “Oh?.....fist fight.” Stu replied.\n\n     “Do what?!” Nick said as he sat up.\n\n     “Yes......fist fight.” Stu replied.\n\n     “You and her? Fighting?” Nick said with a smirk.\n\n     “Yup. She kicked my tail good.” Stu giggled.\n\n     “This story? I must hear.” Nick said as he sat up.\n\n      Stewart rubbed his belly....”I was.....ten or eleven at the time, Bonnie was ten. We were at the park during the summer and we were playing pick up baseball. I’d just gotten on first base and my friend Derrick hit the ball...I got to second, slid, big cloud of dust and There’s “Bon Bon” bouncing up and down screaming “Gotcha gotcha! You’re out! You”re out!”\n\n     “What do I do? “Nah you did not! Females can’t get males out, nahh!” Stewart said crossing his arms and turning his head up with a pout.\n\n     “Yes I did!” Bonnie replied.\n\n     “Oh boy....growing volcano.” Nick said smiling.\n\n     “Went back and forth for five minutes.” Stewart said smirking. “Nope! Yeah! Nope! Yeah!” Then Bonnie said. “If you didn’t feel my glove on you then you’re a fat dumb liar!”\n\n     “What do you think I said back at her?” Stewart asked.\n\n     Nick slapped his face....”Oh boy...”\n\n     “Precisely.” Stewart replied. “That’s when I found out that not only could female bunnies punch? They could punch really hard! And they can kick twice as hard.” Stewart giggled....”She knocked me out.”\n\n      “You deserved it.” Nick snorted. “But I assume that’s not the end of the game huh?”\n\n      “How correct.” Stewart replied. “So there I am...out like a light. Enter Jasper Nancy from my grade school class...”Stew? Stewy? Hey! Stew’s not breathing! He’s not breathing! Someone run for the doctor!”\n\n     “Oh my gawd.” Nick yelped.\n\n      “Gets better.” Stewart said as he waved a paw finger. “So Jasper’s jumping around in a panic...”Somebody give Stew mouth to mouth!” He’s hopping from bunny to bunny...”Give him mouth to mouth! Please! Stew might die! Please!”\n\n       “So who do you think is going to rescue me?” Stewart asked. “At least I was hoping it would be a female. If it was a male and I got excited there would have been no Judy.”\n\n       Nick shook his head....”Oh gawd you little pervert.”\n\n      “Precisely.” Stewart replied. “With Jasper’s quick thinking. He’s pushing Bonnie on top of me....”Give him some air! Please!” I mean Jasper’s got all the water works turned on...so Bonnie closes her lips on me and “wha-blam!” fire works!.....”\n\n      Stewart snickered....”I slipped Bon the tongue.”\n\n      Nick flopped onto his back laughing! “OH MY GAWDESS! LOL!”\n\n      “Bonnie jumps off me! “Stewart Gilford Hopps you dirty low down fat piece of rabbit turd!” “WHAM!” Kicked me right in the nuts!” Stewart exclaimed.\n\n      (laughter) OH MY GAWDESS! (laughter) DAD?! (laughter) DAMN! YOU TEN YEAR OLD PERVERT!”\n\n      “Come on Son in Law? I’m a rabbit go figure right?! When the hormones explode. what can you do but ride the wave?” Stewart said smirking. “Good thing she didn’t kick for the fence.”\n\n       Nick wiped the laughter tears from his face....”Oh my gawdess....she must have hated your butt!”\n\n       “She did....she didn’t want a damn thing to do with me after that. That is until like yourself I knew she was my soul mate. I pursued her for four years....and about a dozen kicks in the kinasters before she fell to my superior will power.” Stewart said confidently.\n\n     “And if you believe that story Nick? You truely are a dumb fox.” Bonnie said from the barn opening. “I knew you two would be out here “tea totaling”.”\n\n      Nick stood up. “I’m not drunk Bonnie. But did it really happen that way?”\n\n     “All except for his magnetic personality.” Bonnie said smirking. “Tell Nick about the shot gun wedding Stu? Stewart and I got caught in the worst possible way...in my parents basement.....on the washing machine.”\n\n      “Now Bon Bon?” Stewart warned.\n\n      “Shut up while you’re ahead Stewart.” Bonnie snickered.\n\nEnd of chapter 7","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'><strong><div class='align_center'>Twisty Tails<br />A Zootopia / Morgan the Corgi / Sheath n Knife fan fiction<br /><br />By Dan 1966<br /><br />Morgan the female pup Welsh Corgi ( c ) ShaneAndCo from Inkbunny<br />Alex the Male wolf cub ( c) Harmarist and Kittaness Sheath and Knife comics<br />Zootopiaverse (c) Disney Corperation 2016<br />Kimba the White Lion, Speedy, Kitty and Dash (c) Osamu Tezuka 1954<br />Bill the Tiger, Legoshi the Wolf, Haru the rabbit and Luis the Red Deer (c) Beastars 2020 Paru Itagaki<br />Fireball, Rudolph (c) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 1963<br /><br />This fan fiction not for monitary gain by the author.

Well done.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;As if I ever was going to feel slighted by you.&rdquo; Legoshi replied. &ldquo;I must say sorry for not reciprocating when you won the election...as if that wasn&rsquo;t a forgone conclusion? How are you doing it Luis? Juggling two careers has to be difficult.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Beh! Child&rsquo;s play.&rdquo; Luis replied as he waved a hoof hand. &ldquo;One compliments the other. Right now my two big focus &ldquo;afflictions&rdquo; if you want to look at things that way are the production of &ldquo;Wallace&rdquo; and this issue of a possible serial killer in our city. Legoshi? I honestly could use your skills again, the current director in my humble opinion is sub-par in performance, he&rsquo;s miserable when it comes to timing and presentation. You understand the esthetics, the minutia of lighting, sound and time. I need you on our next performance.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;It depends on my schedule.&rdquo; Legoshi replied.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;You can get the time off Legoshi?&rdquo; Bill said. &ldquo;Will you refuse a fellow classmate&rsquo;s request?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t understand this reluctance in you Legoshi.&rdquo; Luis said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not asking you to leave the police department. Just come and give our current director some of your wisdom and inspiration for one performance, I beg you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Legoshi sighed...&rdquo;Of course I&rsquo;m not going to refuse a class mate&rsquo;s request. But how&rsquo;s life in general Luis? Being mayor must be a great deal of stress even for one like you who&rsquo;s known for natural leadership ability.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I find ways to channel...which is why I stayed with acting after leaving the academy. I can pour all my emotional frustrations into my performances. Of interest to you two by the way? I am pushing a bill through the city counsel to give the ZPD a sixty percent raise in pay and benefits. Our city has been so prosperous as of late, we should not neglect our first responders who keep it safe for us to progress so rapidly.&rdquo; Luis reacted to the smiles on his friends faces. &ldquo;I see you both agree?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Sixty percent?&rdquo; Bill said cheerfully. &ldquo;Lu? You are the bomb!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;That&rsquo;s wonderful news.&rdquo; Legoshi said as he wagged his tail. &ldquo;The appreciation won&rsquo;t go unpaid we assure you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not a done deal yet you two.&rdquo; Luis replied. &ldquo;But I believe it&rsquo;s as you&rsquo;d say...&rdquo;bagged and tagged&rdquo;? I am pushing for it because I want to unleash the ZPD against organized crime...specifically the five families of Tundra Town. I believe they have been allowed to get away with too much for too long.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bill gasped. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re going to tread into environments that might get you killed Luis?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Luis replied...&rdquo;As if I&rsquo;ve ever been scared of anyone Bill? I once shoved a 45 pistol down your mouth when you angered me remember? Polar bears are brutes but they&rsquo;re not mountains.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Legoshi sounded concerned...&rdquo;Just don&rsquo;t do anything crazy Lu? Don&rsquo;t give them a big reason to want you dead.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I fully trust the ZPD to handle anything.&rdquo; Luis replied. &ldquo;Now enjoy your lunch gentle-mammals? We can find other light hearted things to discuss can&rsquo;t we?&rdquo;<br /><br />‭<strong>Day two<br />11am<br />Downtown Little Rodentia<br />ZPD Precinct Five<br />&ldquo;Fort Bronco&rdquo;</strong><strong></strong><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;See?! I told you I didn&rsquo;t do anything and you still accosted me! I never...never once have told you anything that wasn&rsquo;t true Officer Mick and still? You make me strip! My sensitive nature&rsquo;s been offended! My pride destroyed! My sanctity of youth violated! I might even suit all you lugs!&rdquo; Tony Toponi yelped as he walked through the central processing room.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Is that &ldquo;Tony Tearjerker&rdquo; again?&rdquo; Justin (Secret of Nimh) the chief of Precinct Five huffed. &ldquo;What now Toponi?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Well? Just the rodent I need to see.&rdquo; Tony huffed. &ldquo;I want to file a complaint of wrongful detention and mental anguish against your precinct buddy boy! Me! a young and very innocent mouse made to strip naked and have his dignity paraded shamefully for all to see out of suspicion that I committed a per-loin-ious felony....which clearly I didn&rsquo;t!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Nice speech Tony.&rdquo; Justin said. &ldquo;You running for city counsel?<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;By the way?&rdquo; Tony replied. &ldquo;I won&rsquo;t file my complaint against Officer Mick here. At least he knows how to care about young vulnerable and very impressionable mice like me you know? He&rsquo;s a real swell. At least I had a blanket and a comfortable bench to rest upon while I napped to await my obvious innocence to be proven after I was so cruelly and perverse-lee debased.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Justin shook his head and turned to officer Mickey Oswald. &ldquo;Mickey? Get him out of here before I have to call the fire department to save us from the &ldquo;crap-nami&rdquo;? But be warned Toponi? We&rsquo;re watching you like a hawk.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;You all certainly got good pictures of my sweet tail hole.&rdquo; Tony snickered back as he tucked his paws into his pants pockets and followed Mickey through processing. &ldquo;Loves you all flat feet! I&rsquo;ll come by later with doughnuts for all of yah just to show your lovable lug Tony Toponi forgives all grudges!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Justin smiled and chuckled...If the rumors were right about Tony Toponi, he was certainly the nicest gang leader worthy of some close shaves and a few passes...so long as he didn&rsquo;t get crazy and kept helping the precinct from time to time.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Justin&rsquo;s cell phone suddenly chimed....&rdquo;Precinct Five, Chief Justin.&rdquo; Justin said as he answered.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Chief, this is Lieutenant Wilde from &ldquo;First Prinky&rdquo;? I&rsquo;m calling because I need some of your officers on short notice...&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t have to request Lieutenant, Bogo already called me. You&rsquo;ll get SWAT at the side gate at 11:30. Twenty officers in tactical gear.&rdquo; Justin said. &ldquo;Hopefully we&rsquo;ll nail this dirt bag today. I have plenty of worried parents around here keeping their kittens home from school. You can&rsquo;t tell them enough that the possibility of rodents being snatched up from here without the offender getting seen is quite low and yet you know...mice will be mice even with thirty foot iron fences protecting them. Everything is an excuse for a &ldquo;worry n Scurry&rdquo;.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Judy replied. &ldquo;Appreciate the assist Justin. I promise we&rsquo;ll make sure your officers are kept safe.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I&rsquo;m more worried about the Commander of my SWAT team doing something crazy more than anything else.&rdquo; Justin replied chuckling. &ldquo;You can&rsquo;t easily tell a &ldquo;go getter&rdquo; cop not to be risky. Keep an eye on Tackleberry will you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I promise I will.&rdquo; Judy replied. <br /><br />‭<strong>Day two<br />11:30am<br />Bunny Burrough<br />The warren of the Hopps family</strong><strong></strong><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nick un-buckled Jackson from the car seat and carried him through the white picket gate of the Hopps family....what exactly would you call a house built to contain over 500 rabbits at once? Nick was still at a loss for words at the monster ten story structure that was as long as an Iowa class battleship, the majority of it unseen as it was built into the side of a gently sloping hill...<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rabbits were of course...all over the place. Some engaged in the daily work of keeping up the family farm and business, others...especially the youngsters....ran about with crazy abandon or sat and stood around texting their fingers over their phones like mad or screaming and playing about so loudly that there was actually a danger of going deaf from the noise...<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the midst of the chaos, coming the other way down the front walk, was a huge pot belly fox and a smaller weasel in overalls. Gideon Gray waved a paw in greeting....<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Morning Nick! Been a while.&rdquo; The bigger fox said as he extended a paw. &ldquo;Where&rsquo;s Judy?&rdquo; Gideon asked.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Being herself.&rdquo; Nick replied as he stood bouncing Jackson in his arms.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Would you look at this sprite Travis?&rdquo; Gideon said as he put his arms out. &ldquo;Come here you little squeak.&rdquo; Gideon said as he bad Nick to let him hold Jackson. &ldquo;Well haven&rsquo;t you grown since I last saw you?&rdquo; Gideon said as he tweaked Jackson&rsquo;s nose.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;He&rsquo;s going to be huge.&rdquo; Travis said as he wiggled Jackson&rsquo;s foot. &ldquo;So Nick? What got you out here?&rdquo; Travis asked.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I needed some father/son time.&rdquo; Nick replied. &ldquo;Actually? I was thinking about scoring a free pie by vicarious manipulation.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well shoot....&rdquo; Gideon huffed. &ldquo;As if I&rsquo;d say no? In fact? How would you like to be a Ginny Pig? I asked the Ginny&rsquo;s to come for free samples and they didn&rsquo;t commit.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;He never says the right words you know.&rdquo; Travis snickered.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t asking your opinion Travis?&rdquo; Gideon snorted. &ldquo;Any way? I have a new pie that&rsquo;s actually tailored to Vulpine taste buds so maybe asking Ginny&rsquo;s for their opinions wasn&rsquo;t exactly the best foot forward.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick rubbed his snoot...&rdquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t mind a taste. How about during dinner? Bring some by the house here?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Sure can do that.&rdquo; Gideon replied. &ldquo;But you can&rsquo;t leave the Burrough without passing by my house. The wife would enjoy your company.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll certainly do that.&rdquo; Nick replied as he took Jackson. &ldquo;Oops? When Jackie starts fussing, that&rsquo;s the cue to get him on his feet before he starts kicking teeth. See you this evening Gideon.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Certainly Nick.&rdquo; Gideo replied. &ldquo;And good seeing you. Let&rsquo;s go get a fresh pie ready there Travis.&rdquo; Gideon said to his partner as they walked to Gideon&rsquo;s delivery truck.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Daddy! Put me down? I wanna go play!&rdquo; Jackson fussed.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Well, well? Finally my son complains a little.&rdquo; Nick smiled. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t you want to see Grand pa and Granny?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;They&rsquo;re not gonna vanish are they? Put me down!&rdquo; Jackson protested.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Can&rsquo;t fight the spirit of the bunny huh?&rdquo; Nick said as he put Jackson on his feet. &ldquo;Go run yourself crazy kido!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Why the nerve of our grandson to go run off with his 178 little cousins! We feel so slighted!&rdquo; Stewart &ldquo;Stu&rdquo; Hopps bellowed as he stood at the door to his house. &ldquo;Good to see you Nicholas!&rdquo; The big portly farm rabbit said as he waved his paw. &ldquo;Get over here you!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Nicholas? Only my mother called me that kiddy name but what the hell....how you doing Dad!&rdquo; Nick yelped as he walked up, picked Stu off the ground and hugged him! &ldquo;Been a while you old dust mop!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You dirty, flea ridden Hombrah bastard.&rdquo; Stu replied as he gave Nick a light stomach punch! &ldquo;Judy didn&rsquo;t come huh?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Your daughter is your daughter.&rdquo; Nick replied. &ldquo;She didn&rsquo;t tell you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Not like we&rsquo;re not aware of it.&rdquo; Stu said as he led Nick into the chaos of orderly maihem that usually defines a rabbit house. Lunch was just in the process of being served and it wouldn&rsquo;t stop being served until 2pm. Nick made his way through the big dining hall where rabbits of all ages were moving in, eating, moving out or bringing in and removing plates, cups and silverware like a well oiled machine...<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;How&rsquo;s Bonnie Stu?&rdquo; Nick asked as they passed through the enormous kitchen where bunnies down to diapers were doing everything from cutting up greens to cooking on stoves to washing dishes to drying dishes to flipping through cook books...<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;She&rsquo;s pregnant again.&rdquo; Stu replied smiling.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Can all these kittens cook?&rdquo; Nick asked...then he caught what Stu said....<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Get out of here?! Bonnie&rsquo;s pregnant again?! Sheesh....do you two ever stop to catch a breath?&rdquo; Nick asked.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;This is the end of the line Nick.&rdquo; Stu said waving a paw. &ldquo;After this? Bonnie is done, no more kittens.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick and Stewart made their way up a flight of stairs to Bonnie&rsquo;s nursery room where the matriarch of the Hopps family sat knitting a wool blanket...<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Look who dropped in &ldquo;Bons&rdquo;.&rdquo; Stu said as he gestured to his Son in Law.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Nick...!&rdquo; Bonnie said as she got up to kiss Nick.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Uh? An expecting mother should relax.&rdquo; Nick said as he gestured Bonnie back to her chair and kissed her forehead. &ldquo;Afternoon Mother.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Did you come yourself?&rdquo; Bonnie asked.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Nope.&rdquo; Nick replied waving a paw...&rdquo;My &ldquo;cute side&rdquo; is off raising insanity someplace. Seems he preferred to play with his cousins than come see you.&rdquo; Nick said as he pointed to Bonnie&rsquo;s stomach. &ldquo;Uh? How long are you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Next week.&rdquo; Bonnie replied. &ldquo;After this? No more. The doctor told me it&rsquo;s a five brood and all males so I&rsquo;m going out in style.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick smiled as he shook his head...&rdquo;I just don&rsquo;t see how you bunnies can handle it. We foxes settle for five kids at best. You rabbits go nuts and yet you manage to handle it all so well.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stewart stood with pride and approval. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s all in how you raise them, especially with a farm as big as ours there&rsquo;s no room for disorganized wild kits. All our children are very independent yet at the same time, family and the values that bind us hold the whole thing together. The whole family is a big school of basic management. Don&rsquo;t let some of the wild running youngsters fool you. All our kittens know how to account for every blade of grass on the lawn by the time they&rsquo;re in Kindergarten.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Stewart?&rdquo; Bonnie chuckled. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re so over-blowing the simplistic. Bunny families are tight Nick, it&rsquo;s in our nature to have an organized house. I bet Judy drives you crazy sometimes with her own quirky neatness. She got it from my side of the family by the way...Stewart is a complete pig.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nick chuckled...&rdquo;Trust me...I drive your daughter crazy. More so in bed than anywhere.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Suddenly....Jackson came into the room with two of his cousins, Dexter and his bigger more plump brood-brother Mason behind him...<br />&ldquo;GAMMY! GAMPY!&rdquo; Jackson yelped as he hopped into Stewart&rsquo;s arms!<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;My little light as a fly!&rdquo; Stewart cheered as he hugged Jackson tightly and kissed his cheek....&rdquo;Mmm.....mmmmwah! How&rsquo;s my bouncy Grandson of many?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Good!&rdquo; Jackson replied with a wide smile. &ldquo;I can read big books now!&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You can?!&rdquo; Stewart said surprised.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yup....&rdquo; Nick said with nodding pride...&rdquo;He can read Hairy Patter without breaking a sentence. I&rsquo;m telling you Stu? My son&rsquo;s going to be a lawyer or maybe the mayor.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Nah nah!&rdquo; Jackson yelped back. &ldquo;Gonna be like my Godfather and have a big polar bear as a Capo!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stu shook his head...&rdquo;You need to keep him from the television.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Yeeeeah....&rdquo; Nick replied feigning ignorance. &ldquo;We binge &ldquo;L.A. Paw&rdquo; and Jackie catches all the dialog.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stewart gave Jackson to Bonnie, &ldquo;Here&rsquo;s &ldquo;Jack Jack&rdquo; Bonnie. I&rsquo;m taking Nick to see the latest harvest and tell him about Gideon&rsquo;s expansion plans.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stu led Nick back through the house. &ldquo;Let me tell you Nick...having many children may be a chore but it&rsquo;s more of a blessing.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick shook his head....&rdquo;No Stu....we&rsquo;re not having any more. In fact? I&rsquo;m thinking about having my nuts snipped.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stu stopped cold...&rdquo;Nick? Think about...&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;We have thought about it.&rdquo; Nick replied. &ldquo;We were lucky with Jackson. I&rsquo;m not risking Judy&rsquo;s life with multiple births. You&rsquo;re her Father Stu? I thought you&rsquo;d feel the same way?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a force of tradition Nick, forgive me. Of course you&rsquo;re correct.&rdquo; Stewart said.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Is?.....Is Earl all right?&rdquo; Nick asked as he brought up Stewart&rsquo;s grandfather. &ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t seen him.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;He&rsquo;s still around.&rdquo; Stu replied. &ldquo;He can&rsquo;t hear now and he&rsquo;s pretty frail but not frail enough to change himself. I&rsquo;m sorry...&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just so wrong.&rdquo; Nick said as he sighed. &ldquo;His old hates...his abusive words to Judy the last time she was here?....to my son?....sigh... You know I had to bite my teeth for Judy&rsquo;s sake and not start a war Stu.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Nick? You are not going to melt that old rabbit&rsquo;s stone heart, not going to happen in a thousand years so best not to try.&rdquo; Stu said sadly. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s such a shame too...how could anyone resist Jackson? I mean he is such a stunner....sorry he&rsquo;s not more fox.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;My color, my eyes and my teeth....not to mention my intelligence, he has those gifts from me. Just don&rsquo;t tell Judy about the intelligence part or she&rsquo;ll cut off my tail and fly it off the cruiser&rsquo;s radio antenna.&rdquo; Nick said as he walked with Stewart towards the big barn in the farm field next to the family home...<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Any way?&rdquo; Stewart changed the subject. &ldquo;How would you like to taste the latest incarnation of my famous fermented juice? I think you&rsquo;ll love the taste of it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;As long as I don&rsquo;t get stone drunk.&rdquo; Nick replied.<br /><br />‭<strong>Day two<br />11:55am<br />Little Rodentia<br />The secondary services gate<br />Bronco SWAT unit, Captain Tackleberry commanding</strong><strong></strong><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Oh snit...he&rsquo;s on his glory trip again.&rdquo; Officer Chitters whispered to his partner, Officer Elwood as they stood in ranks. &ldquo;When he&rsquo;s got those silly &ldquo;Raybans&rdquo; on? Yup....drunk with the power.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Feel sorry for him dude.&rdquo; Elwood said smirking. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the only sex partner he has in the whole known world.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Captain Tackleberry stopped to rise on his feet and placed his paws behind his back...&rdquo;Good afternoon SWAT-RATS!&rdquo;<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Sir!&rdquo; One mouse yelped back. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a RAT! That was offensive!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Noted!&rdquo; Tackleberry snapped. &ldquo;Take your complaint up to M.R. (Mammal Relations) they do give out nice free cry rags for your gashing tail hole.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All the mice giggled.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Now!

We have the capable equipment to bring down bigger vermin. Are we going to take it with us? I mean....to just be observers and not try to take this creep down ourselves?&rdquo; Shirley asked.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not my call.&rdquo; Tackleberry replied. &ldquo;Lieutenant Hopps has delegated us to a support role because of her concern for our safety out in the world. We don&rsquo;t know the size nor species of the suspect in question. Lieutenant Wilde is just being cautious. No use trying to argue with her about this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tackleberry saw another paw go up. &ldquo;Yes....Grooberman?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I respect the Lieutenant but uh?....I&rsquo;m sick of being looked upon as some plushy cute cartoon animal...how about the rest of you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The other mice voiced their own frustrations....&rdquo;Come on! Let&rsquo;s take the big guns with us! We&rsquo;re not flowers Captain! Come on Boss?! We know you want to kick tail!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tackleberry clenched his teeth....&rdquo;I&rsquo;m sure I&rsquo;m going to get my tail cut off with a carving knife over this but? Oh the hell...go get the big guns! I&rsquo;ll have it out with Lieutenant Wilde.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The mouse SWAT unit cheered wildly as some of them ran to their tactical trucks to get the pieces of their &ldquo;Big guns&rdquo; for assembly.<br /><br />‭<strong>Day two<br />12:30pm<br />Morgan Wright&rsquo;s house, Rain Forest.</strong><strong></strong><br /><br /><strong>You know it happens every summer<br />The minute school lets out<br />All the surfers and their honeys<br />Start to scream and shout<br />Camping out at the beaches<br />They won&#039;t be home for days<br />Yeah, everybody&#039;s gone crazy<br />with the surfin&#039; craze</strong><strong></strong><br /><br /><em>You&#039;ll see them surfin&#039;<br />at Redondo Beach<br />Surfin&#039; craze<br />In the T.J.

Two &ldquo;Pup pops&rdquo; chop chop!&rdquo; Morgan commanded.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Yes mistress!&rdquo; Alex replied as he ran into the house and came back out with two bottles of soda and a pair of glasses with ice cubes in them. All he was dressed in was his sneakers, his cartoon under roos, a red colored dog collar and a black leash wrapped over his neck and shoulders.

You don&rsquo;t like my under roos?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;No I don&rsquo;t!&rdquo; Ako huffed back. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re thing is popping out...&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Enough....&rdquo; Morgan huffed back. &ldquo;Go ahead and get your shorts on Alex so Ako doesn&rsquo;t freak out and faint from seeing your dopey ding a ling?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alex turned around and shook his butt and tail at Ako...&rdquo;I&rsquo;m....to sexy for my roos...too sexy for my roos...my butt is fluffy like Charleston Chews!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ako wasn&rsquo;t impressed....she bit down on the tip of Alex&rsquo;s tail and made him run for the house! &ldquo;GET YOUR SHORTS ON!&rdquo; She snapped!<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You&rsquo;re such a wet blanket Ako.&rdquo; Morgan huffed. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;You want too feel my teeth next Morgan?&rdquo; Ako replied. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t care if Alex doesn&rsquo;t have a problem with doing what you tell him, don&rsquo;t make him wear a collar and leash again or I&rsquo;ll go home and never speak to you again. I mean it Morgan.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Alright Ako...I&rsquo;ll have him take off the collar.&rdquo; Morgan said frowning.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you stop being such an obstinant corgi and admit you like him?&rdquo; Ako huffed. &ldquo;What is it with you and wolves?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t feel like talking about it.&rdquo; Morgan huffed back. &ldquo;What is it with you gazing at Alex&rsquo;s brother?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ako waved her paws....&rdquo;Oh....I give up!&rdquo; The female otter snorted. As she turned to walk back to the pool, Morgan ran up behind her and wrapped her arms and paws around her...<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Morgan?&rdquo; Ako chirped.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Please don&rsquo;t be angry with me Ako?&rdquo; Morgan asked as she snuggled Ako&rsquo;s back. &ldquo;Please? You&rsquo;re really the only close friend I have.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Oh my gawd you are so insecure.&rdquo; Ako said as she turned around and kissed Morgan on the forehead. &ldquo;I love you...&rdquo; Ako said playfully.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Awwwww.....when&rsquo;s the wedding?&rdquo; Alex said as he stood smiling.<br /><br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Morgan looked at Ako....&rdquo;Wanna see if we can make a wolf skip across water like a rock?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;snicker&rdquo;....&rdquo;Science experiment.&rdquo; Ako said evilly.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Morgan gestured with a paw finger to Alex...&rdquo;Come here my slave?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Oh snit!&rdquo; Alex yelped as Morgan and Ako gave chase!&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />‭<strong>Day two<br />12:30am<br />Bunny Burrough<br />The warren of the Hopps family</strong><strong></strong><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick and Stu sat by the big rabbit&rsquo;s alcohol still with the red fox rolling his tongue around his mouth and across his teeth after he&rsquo;d drank a shot of Stu&rsquo;s latest creation....<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Lick&rdquo; &ldquo;lick&rdquo;....&rdquo;smack&rdquo;.....&rdquo;smack&rdquo;......a hint of mint..... &ldquo;Lick&rdquo; &ldquo;lick&rdquo;....&rdquo;smack&rdquo;.....&rdquo;smack&rdquo;.....mmmmm? A dash of cloves.... &ldquo;Lick&rdquo; &ldquo;lick&rdquo;....&rdquo;smack&rdquo;.....&rdquo;smack&rdquo;......there&rsquo;s the carrot juice obviously....not....not bad this one Stewart.&rdquo; Nick said as he smiled. &ldquo;Glad this is just a shot. How much proof is in this?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;That&rsquo;s just watered down.&rdquo; Stu replied. &ldquo;I already have seven kegs worth of the really hard stuff that will punch you right in the face. But what you tried is going to the market as legal sale.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;When did you start making shine?&rdquo; Nick asked. &ldquo;And don&rsquo;t worry, I&rsquo;m not on duty mind you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I have a license.&rdquo; Stewart replied. &ldquo;It was Early who ran shine back in the day when it was flat illegal, that old coot. You know I&rsquo;ve been meaning to finish the work I&rsquo;ve been doing on his old rum runner car but I&rsquo;ve not found the time to do it. I might just bury the fossil in it when he finally dies.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Gee?&rdquo; Nick said. &ldquo;Feel the love.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s exactly what Early would want Nick.&rdquo; Stu said waving a paw around as he and Nick lay on a hay pile. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll pickle him in a cask, put him in the back seat and bury him out in the field. Knowing his angry old butt? My farm lands will grow fallow and my &ldquo;scare-bear&rdquo; will come alive and strangle me to death.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick smirked and cocked his head....&rdquo;Stewart? Sometimes you are just strange. I think you need to see a head shrink.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;You run a house with a bizillion bunnies and keep sane you scruffy evil hombrah defiler of my daughter.&rdquo; Stewart snorted.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Shut up you meat on a skewer little fat delicious bastard.&rdquo; Nick replied growling. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the booze talking. Sorry Dad.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Stu looked at Nick....&rdquo;Seriously Nick? Is your heart into being a police officer? Because if it&rsquo;s not? I&rsquo;m more than willing to have you on as a manager of my distillery. I actually make a good profit besides the farming. Wouldn&rsquo;t be much and you could put more time into giving Jackson your undivided love and affection.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not ready to go that slow with life just yet Stu.&rdquo; Nick said as he stretched himself out over the hay...&rdquo;Like you said? Judy might talk about wanting to be a top Sheriff out here but she&rsquo;s so not going to do it because there&rsquo;s little excitement out here. Mind you I would not pass up the offer save that I need to be with Judy to push her towards her life goals. Where she jumps? I jump.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;You know? You never told me what attracted you to my daughter to begin with? Judy hasn&rsquo;t even opened up to the wife and myself. I think it&rsquo;s because deep down inside she&rsquo;s worried we still harbor deep resentment that she chose a fox because of our faith. But Bon and I weren&rsquo;t as bad as Early, at least we kept open minds until you sat with us and explained the &ldquo;Book of the Rabbits&rdquo; in detail. Hombrah were not created by Lord Frith to be the rabbit&rsquo;s enemy but to force their restraint. Old stories and legends die hard.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Early on in our relationship...she felt the same way.&rdquo; Nick replied &rdquo;she was terrified of you two, of Early. When she took that pregnancy test and saw that blue strip? She told me the first words out of her mouth were what you two would think of her...and....it wasn&rsquo;t flattering. She was scared piss-less. One of the main things driving her towards an abortion was the fear you two would kick her from the family and brand her a shameless whore.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Stewart sighed....&rdquo;Boy....not that far from the truth at the start. But it was my Bonnie who bore her teeth about it.....first at me? Then at Early, her look alone should have killed that old goat. We were hesitant of course...old thoughts and teachings are very hard to break...specially among rabbit males.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick sat up. &ldquo;What attracted me to Judy? She cares...she&rsquo;s very honest....she&rsquo;s totally fearless and un-afraid to admit when she&rsquo;s wrong and she&rsquo;s genuine with her feelings. I knew the moment she sought me out when she found out the truth about the Savage cause and she lowered herself and poured her heart out that she was wrong? I knew... She was it. She was the one I wanted to be with, my soul mate...my beloved. Guess I fit the fox mold in one way Stu...I am greedy when it comes to my toys, I&rsquo;ll bite to keep them....uh? That wasn&rsquo;t right, your daughter isn&rsquo;t a toy, I don&rsquo;t think of her as a &ldquo;plushy&rdquo; you know...&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Chill Nick.&rdquo; Stu said waving a paw.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;So how did you and Bonnie meet?&rdquo; Nick asked.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Oh?.....fist fight.&rdquo; Stu replied.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Do what?!&rdquo; Nick said as he sat up.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Yes......fist fight.&rdquo; Stu replied.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;You and her? Fighting?&rdquo; Nick said with a smirk.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Yup. She kicked my tail good.&rdquo; Stu giggled.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;This story? I must hear.&rdquo; Nick said as he sat up.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stewart rubbed his belly....&rdquo;I was.....ten or eleven at the time, Bonnie was ten. We were at the park during the summer and we were playing pick up baseball. I&rsquo;d just gotten on first base and my friend Derrick hit the ball...I got to second, slid, big cloud of dust and There&rsquo;s &ldquo;Bon Bon&rdquo; bouncing up and down screaming &ldquo;Gotcha gotcha! You&rsquo;re out! You&rdquo;re out!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;What do I do? &ldquo;Nah you did not! Females can&rsquo;t get males out, nahh!&rdquo; Stewart said crossing his arms and turning his head up with a pout.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Yes I did!&rdquo; Bonnie replied.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Oh boy....growing volcano.&rdquo; Nick said smiling.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Went back and forth for five minutes.&rdquo; Stewart said smirking. &ldquo;Nope! Yeah! Nope! Yeah!&rdquo; Then Bonnie said. &ldquo;If you didn&rsquo;t feel my glove on you then you&rsquo;re a fat dumb liar!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;What do you think I said back at her?&rdquo; Stewart asked.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nick slapped his face....&rdquo;Oh boy...&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Precisely.&rdquo; Stewart replied. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s when I found out that not only could female bunnies punch? They could punch really hard! And they can kick twice as hard.&rdquo; Stewart giggled....&rdquo;She knocked me out.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You deserved it.&rdquo; Nick snorted. &ldquo;But I assume that&rsquo;s not the end of the game huh?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;How correct.&rdquo; Stewart replied. &ldquo;So there I am...out like a light. Enter Jasper Nancy from my grade school class...&rdquo;Stew? Stewy? Hey! Stew&rsquo;s not breathing! He&rsquo;s not breathing! Someone run for the doctor!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Oh my gawd.&rdquo; Nick yelped.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Gets better.&rdquo; Stewart said as he waved a paw finger. &ldquo;So Jasper&rsquo;s jumping around in a panic...&rdquo;Somebody give Stew mouth to mouth!&rdquo; He&rsquo;s hopping from bunny to bunny...&rdquo;Give him mouth to mouth! Please! Stew might die! Please!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;So who do you think is going to rescue me?&rdquo; Stewart asked. &ldquo;At least I was hoping it would be a female. If it was a male and I got excited there would have been no Judy.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nick shook his head....&rdquo;Oh gawd you little pervert.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Precisely.&rdquo; Stewart replied. &ldquo;With Jasper&rsquo;s quick thinking. He&rsquo;s pushing Bonnie on top of me....&rdquo;Give him some air! Please!&rdquo; I mean Jasper&rsquo;s got all the water works turned on...so Bonnie closes her lips on me and &ldquo;wha-blam!&rdquo; fire works!.....&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stewart snickered....&rdquo;I slipped Bon the tongue.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick flopped onto his back laughing! &ldquo;OH MY GAWDESS! LOL!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Bonnie jumps off me! &ldquo;Stewart Gilford Hopps you dirty low down fat piece of rabbit turd!&rdquo; &ldquo;WHAM!&rdquo; Kicked me right in the nuts!&rdquo; Stewart exclaimed.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(laughter) OH MY GAWDESS! (laughter) DAD?! (laughter) DAMN! YOU TEN YEAR OLD PERVERT!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Come on Son in Law? I&rsquo;m a rabbit go figure right?! When the hormones explode. what can you do but ride the wave?&rdquo; Stewart said smirking. &ldquo;Good thing she didn&rsquo;t kick for the fence.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nick wiped the laughter tears from his face....&rdquo;Oh my gawdess....she must have hated your butt!&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;She did....she didn&rsquo;t want a damn thing to do with me after that. That is until like yourself I knew she was my soul mate. I pursued her for four years....and about a dozen kicks in the kinasters before she fell to my superior will power.&rdquo; Stewart said confidently.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;And if you believe that story Nick? You truely are a dumb fox.&rdquo; Bonnie said from the barn opening. &ldquo;I knew you two would be out here &ldquo;tea totaling&rdquo;.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nick stood up. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not drunk Bonnie. But did it really happen that way?&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;All except for his magnetic personality.&rdquo; Bonnie said smirking. &ldquo;Tell Nick about the shot gun wedding Stu? Stewart and I got caught in the worst possible way...in my parents basement.....on the washing machine.&rdquo;<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Now Bon Bon?&rdquo; Stewart warned.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Shut up while you&rsquo;re ahead Stewart.&rdquo; Bonnie snickered.<br /><br />End of chapter 7</span>","pools_count":0,"title":"Twisty Tails chapter 7 (Zootopia, Beastars, Sheath and Knife, Morgan the Corgi)","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"text/rtf","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"0","rating_name":"General","ratings":[],"submission_type_id":"12","type_name":"Writing - Document","guest_block":"f","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"0","views":"1","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
