Chapter 1: Braving the Weather

Rain, oh how she hated it, it soaked into her fur, she hated being wet. Alice O'Hare, was a rabbit after all, but she was used to the warmth of Bunnyburrow. She had been sent out of Bunnyborrow because she believed she could brave school in Zootopia. Her first day...and she was already reconsidering her choice, but she wasn't half rabbit, half hare for nothing. She stopped, wait...where was she? The school should've been somewhere near here but...where was it? Did she get lost?

Damien Wolfsbane was walking to school with his head down against the rain, when he was stopped by a bunny. "Excuse me...could you help me? I'm...a little lost..." she asked the black wolf nervously. He eyed her, noticing the light blue color of her iris', going her a interestingly 'innocent' look. Damien slid off his hood, revealing the scar on his right cheek, trying to see if she'd react, but...she never did other than to glance at it.

She was surprised when he spoke with a deep and calming voice, "Sure, where you heading?" "Zootopia High..." the wolf chuckled and stood to his full height, "I'm headed that way, just come with me." She smiled as she jogged to catch up to him."So what's your name?...if you don't mind me asking." "Damien...Damien Wolfsbane." "Nice to meet you, my name's Alice O'Hare." He stopped, "O'Hare? You look more like a bunny...or a mixed species?" She nodded, and she saw a small smile on his face, "I get that I'm not a full wolf either, part fox, which is why I'm slightly smaller, not that you can tell..."he smiled widely at her. She had a shocked look on her face but it gave way to a smile, as she tried to push him. "Hey! That's not nice..." "Such ferocity from such a cute bunny." He smiled slyly, making her blush and look away. 'Am I really blushing cause of that?'

The rain increased, soaking the jacket she had, when Damien stopped her again, and started to take off his jacket, "Here, Fluff, it'll be big but it'll keep you dry." She shook her head at both the offer and the little nickname he had just given her. "I'm okay..." she stopped when she saw his face, he did seem generally worried. Hesitantly she took it and slipped into it, it made her feel small but it was warm with his heat, and smelled of pine and earth. "C'mon we'll be late." He said, walking as she followed close behind. Soon they arrived, and he shook himself off, spraying her with water. Alice started to slide out of his jacket, when he walked off, but then remembered her, "Hey Fluff!" Damien had yelled it in front of everyone in the hall, who turned and looked to look at her. "Keep the jacket for now, you need it more than me..." he winked as he walked away. 'What a strange wolf...' she thought, and saw everyone looking at her, 'what a walked into her first class, English, and she walked to the front since all the other seats were taken. As she got situated, an ocelot, on her right greeted her, "Hi, I'm Clove Lots...you're new in the school aren't you?" Alice smiled, "Yeah...Alice O'Hare, and I'm new to the city too." Clove giggled and pointed to her jacket, " Why such a big jacket?" Alice looked down and saw she was pointing to Damien's jacket. "Oh, this isn't mine, it's...Damien Wolfsbanes jacket, he gave it to me cause mine had become soaked." She saw Cloves eyes widen, "Damien? He gave you his jacket?" Alice nodded, "Is there something wrong with him doing that?" Clove smiled, "Sorry didn't mean to get you worried, it's...just not something he really does for anyone, that's why I was so surprised." Before Alice could ask further the teacher, a bear, who seemed really open and wanted her to call him Griz, walked in and class started a little slowly but it was the morning... As she went to her second class, she never saw Damien, but she kinda liked wearing his jacket...'Whoa, whoa...you barely know the guy! But...it was nice of him...' She had started to get along and make some friends with other animals, thanks to Clove, who seemed to know just about everyone.

Alice sat through the droning voice of their history teacher, Mr. Snap, who unfortunately was a turtle which was almost as bad as a sloth. But she didn't know that she was being watched by an female Arctic fox, who was fuming about the jacket around the bunny...thinking of how could he give it to her? A bunny or hare, or whatever mixed breed are called, and she came up with a plan to introduce the new girl to the school...

A/N: I hope people like this, I write stories all the time but I thought I'd do a Zootopia fanfic after I saw the connection but I'm sorry I changed the characters and people will probably be mad about it and I'm sorry about that. Like always I'm open for suggestions and criticism. And I'm sorry it was so short! I use an app on my phone so in truth it seemed longer but the next chapter will be if people like it. Thanks. (Sorry I had to re-upload this cause I forgot to do double spaces and it looked awful, again sorry.)
