AN: I got the idea to do some type of one-shot style collection of stories but I wanted to do it a bit differently to everyone else. After a while of thinking I came to the conclusion that I should base the short stories on song names or maybe some lyrics in songs. Admittedly I did not get that thought by myself, I got it after reading SophieWitch's "One-word Microfiction"

I don't know why but I feel the need to say that some of these might be AU's while some will take place after the movie.

With each chapter I will put the name of the song, artist, the year it was released and any more information that I think is necessary at the end.

Admittedly the type of music I listen to is...to put it lightly generally disliked by the majority of people I come across so you can count this as your warning if you search up the song that is used.

If you want a certain song to be used you can either say in a review or PM and if I ever come across to using that song I will credit you for the suggestion.

But anyways, Feel free to leave a review, follow and favorite and if you wish to, you can contact me via PM.

Zootopia Song One Shots

Song 1: Hail To The King

Judith slowly brought herself up from the patch of dirt at the front of her home that she had just been tending to. Turning her paws over so her palms were facing towards her as she inspected the amount of dirt that was on them. Idly wiping them along her white skirt which used to shine in the sun light until she had worn it while tending to her families crops one afternoon.

But now it was early morning and Judith was the first of her family to wake up because of the exciting day ahead of her. Today was the day she would meet the newly appointed king.

Once it was announced that former Queen Bellwether had been dethroned, the Hopps parents quickly set up a plan to get in the good books of whoever the new leader of BunnyBurrow would be.

Queen Bellwether had ruled BunnyBurrow much like how her husband ruled the Meadowlands district. With fear. She threatened anyone who had gotten too close to her and the majority of the time followed up with her threats despite how fast the mammal moved away. The punishment was always either banishment from BunnyBurrow or Death.

Both King and Queen Bellwether were dethroned by a vote of other Zootopia Kings, Queens and Representatives. Each district in Zootopia had its own throne where a mammal would sit. The mammal didn't have to be native to the district, a mouse could be the king/queen of Tundra-Town and a lion could be the king/queen of the Deerbrooke county.

Along with King and Queen Bellwethers dethrone came two things, a promise and a special event.
The promise was that no one who was apart of the Bellwether family could sit on the throne for a set amount of years that was always kept private from the public.
And a special Event where the new throne figure would make a brief appearance in the middle of the district's centre and talk with the citizens for a short amount of time.

This was what Judith was excited about. After convincing her mother and father Judith was going to be the member of the Hopps family to go to the town centre and offer a gift to the new king/queen.

As Judith snapped herself out of her thought's she looked down at her now muddy skirt and sighed as her ears dropped behind her head "Sweet cheese and crackers" she said before slowly making her way back into the Burrow, making sure to be quiet and not wake anyone up.

Once Judith got in she quickly went to get the dirt out of her skirt, thankful she had an identical one so that her mother wouldn't notice.

That was over two hours ago and now Judith was watching her father pace back and forth as he continued to talk about the new king or queen.

Bonnie had left recently with a few of Judith's younger sister's to go get some produce that was fresh and ripe enough to be offered as a gift.

"Father, calm down please, It's nothing getting stressed about" Judith spoke softly. Despite trying to comfort her father she was just as panicked, possibly even more panicked than her father was right now.

Stuart stopped his pacing to looking at his daughter with his eyebrows raised "I am calm Judith, I am very calm right now" he said quickly, almost running out of breath as he spoke "I...am... not calm at all" he admitted once he saw the look on his daughters face "I don't know how you're so calm Judith, we need to make a good first impression and you could easily screw this up then it will be just like Bellwether all over again"

Judith slowly walked over to her father and placed her paws on his shoulders to stop his frantic pacing "Truly I am very nervous father" she said calmly and softly and let her word sink in as she looked for the right words to comfort her father "But I believe that this mammal will be much more kind-hearted that what Bellwether was, no matter what they turn out to be bunny, bear, lion, zebra they will be better"

Stuart opened his mouth to respond but quickly closed it as his ears twitched at the sounds of pawsteps coming closer until his wife had emerged around the corner, carrying a picnic in one of her paws

"Ohhh thank you honey" he said as he reached in the basket and pulled out a carrot before his wife quickly took it from his paw and put it back in the basket before she offered it to her daughter who had not moved since her father had rushed to his wife.

"Don't you dare try and eat anything in here Stuart" she said as she put the carrot back in place "It's for the mammal who will rule the lands that we call home and unless you want them to make our lives harder than it is already then you will not give them a half eaten carrot" she said harshly before tuning to her daughter and her voice changed from harsh to gentle in a matter of seconds "here you go sweetie, if you get peckish on the way try not to eat too much"

Judith walked up to her mother and hugged her as she felt her mothers lips press against her cheek. Standing back and returning the kiss before doing the same to her father who was standing to the side of his wife.

Once their hug was done, which lasted a bit longer than was necessary, Judith took the basket from her mother and started making her way to the town centre.

When Judith had arrived in the town centre she wasn't surprised to see how many mammals where there. Her family wasn't the only ones whose life had become a living hell while under the reign of Bellwether.

The doe took her time to look around and saw a few different mammal, the majority being smaller prey but there were a few smaller predators there but they seemed to be further back and away from all the prey.

Judith was the only one there with some type of gift and that made her feel both out of place but also proud.

She wished she had more time to her thoughts but the sound of a carriage moving along the dirt path had brought her away from her thoughts to look for the source. What Judy saw was a carriage being slowly pulled along by two buffaloes and nothing else. Their attire was that of a bright red button-up coat with a white trim along the sleeves, waist and neck with plain black tight pants.

The carriage slowly came to a standstill a few feet away from Judith. As the door slowly opened Judith found her line of sight obstructed as mammals started to crowd around her, trying to be the first to see the new mammal that would sit on the throne.

Judith tried to push her way through so she could get back to the front but found herself struggling as she saw two sand coloured paws land on the dirt.

Using as much strength as she could Judith pushed to the front of the crowd when they seemed to give up resisting against her and all gasped at whatever they saw.

When the doe reached the front of the crowd and saw whatever other mammal did, she held her paws up to her mouth so that her delayed gasp didn't bring attention to herself.

Standing a few steps in front of the carriage was a small fennec fox in a similar attire to the two buffaloes but instead of a white trim he had a black trim. He stood with his chest pumped out and arms held together firmly behind his back. He cleared his throat to silence the already quiet crowd and spoke in a strangely deep voice for a mammal his size

"Ladies and Gentlemammals, It is with great honour that I present to you the new king of this here land, He is a very prideful mammal who has made a name for himself in helping those less fortunate than him, knowing what it was like to be in their situations and he is a mammal who is dedicated to helping each and every single one of you in whatever way he can" The fox paused and let his slightly dramatic and unneeded description hang in the air as murmurs started among the crowd. Clearing his throat again to again silence the crowd "I present to you, King Nicholas Wilde"

As the fennec said this, he stepped to the side and stood along with the two buffaloes as a figure emerged from the carriage. The figure slowly climbed out and once again gasps ran throughout the crowd.

The red fox that was standing in the same spot the fennec did before him look across the crowd, his eyes never stopping on one mammal in particular. He wore the same red button up coat as his guards but with a gold trim and the same type of pants as his guards. Along with the obvious jeweled crown that sat on his head, balancing between his ears and the dull red cloak that swayed slightly with his tail.

"He's a fox?!" Judith said but only realized how loud she had said it when everyone went quiet and the fennec started looking in her direction.

"Who said that?"He asked in a rough voice that made him sound even more intimidating

Everyone around Judith took a step back and it made her stand out as much as if she held a sign admitting that she said it.

The small fox started walking towards her and she so desperately wanted to back away and run but out of fear chose not to. The fennec grabbed her wrist and violently dragged her until she was standing a few steps in front of the king.

Judith hesitantly looked up at the king and instead of seeing a disappointed look like she had expected, she had instead seen a look of confusion as he looked at her before looking behind her at the fennec. "Fin what are you-"

"Bow down to the king!" The fennec shouted into the poor does ear before they flattened against her back

Judith was too shocked and confused to make any move as she looked at the red foxes confused face

The fennec tugged on one of her ears while lifting the other up and shouted into it again "Did you hear me?" he asked rhetorically

"Fin-"

"Hail to your king!" the fennec shouted, cutting the king off

Judith lowered her head as she opened her mouth to speak but found the shouts of the fennec filling her ears again

"I said bow down to your king!" he shouted before kicking the back of Judith's knee roughly, sending her off balance and onto one knee as she dropped her basket onto the floor.

"Finnick!" This time it was a different voice that shouted, one that sounded authority but not as intimidating "What do you think you're doing?!"

Judith had her head lowered and looked at the ground as her eyes started to become watery from thinking that she had just screwed everything up for her family. She paid close attention to the conversation though and when she heard no response from behind her she began to grow a little faithful

"You know what Finnick, I don't want to deal with you right now and as punishment for assaulting an innocent mammal for no reason you will start your walk to my throne room where you will wait for me to give you a proper punishment" the red fox paused as he stared down the fennec who now held his head down with shame "Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, your majesty" The fennec replied before he started to walk away to where ever the king would now be living.

"Are you okay?" a gentle voice asked Judith as she raised her head slightly to see the red fox now crouched in front of her.

Rubbing the spot on the back of the knee where she was kicked while she responded to the king who she was sure she had offended "Yeah I'm fine, don't worry about me"

She began to look around and noticed that the crowd was dead silent and watching the exchange intently. Her head snapped back to the fox when she felt two large paws grab her small ones and started to help her back to her feet.

"But as a king it is my job to look out for those in my district" he had responded once Judy was back on her feet

As Judy stood up and heard the crowd around her start to talk and began to disappear as she assessed how dirty her clothes were, her skirt was completely muddy on the front and her top was in slightly better condition but was still dirty

"I'm sorry for how he acted" Nicholas spoke causing Judith to look up at him quizzically "he has a short temper and is very protective, something I have been trying to work on for quite some time now" Nicholas started to look around the floor until he found what he wanted. Walking the short distance to the basket that was dropped as he picked it up and held it back out to the bunny "here, you dropped this, nothing fell out so it should all be fine"

Judith looked up to see that it was the basket full of produce from her farm. She wasn't sure if the fox would appreciate the gift as much as a prey mammal would but couldn't find anything else to do other than tell the truth "actually It was a gift for you...from my family" she said before taking a deep breath "we didn't really get along well with Queen Bellwether and my parents wanted to give a present to the new king"

Nicholas listened to the explanation that the doe gave him before he slowly opened the basket. While he wasn't a big fan of fruit and veg he wasn't ungrateful and would gladly accept the offer. Picking out a handful of blueberries as he started to talk "Well I am very thankful for this, I will make sure that none of it goes to waste" He said before popping a few berries in his mouth and his tail started to wag even more "oh my... these are the best blueberries I have ever tasted, are these from you're farm?" he questioned

"Yeah, everything there was freshly picked a few hours ago" Judith spoke as she watched the foxes reaction to her families gift with pride swelling up inside her.

"Well, I might just have to come and get some blueberries from you're farm when I end up eating all the ones I'm given" he said which got a little chuckle from the doe. Nicholas found his eyes scanning over her now ruined clothing and felt truly sorry for her. Finishing his current mouthful of berries before he spoke up "you know, It wouldn't be very gentlemammaly if I let a lady walk back home in clothes like that" he said before pointing his thumb back at his carriage and stepping to the side so that Judith only had to walk straight forward to enter it "Please step inside and we shall get you home at once"

Judith blushed lightly at the kings offer and despite how much she wanted to accept it, she knew she would be an inconvenience "No, your majesty that is fine, I have walked home in a worse state before"

Her attempt to dismissive the offer had failed as the king refused to let her deny his offer "Lady please, if you need to think of this as my thank you for the gift" He said before continuing "You are not an inconvenience at all, for my residence is a while away from here and will give me more time to think of a punishment for what has happened to you"

When the fox saw the bunnies ears raise slightly he knew he had an angle and quickly worked at it "If you wish, you can join me in discussing some possible punishments for the fennec"

"Really? are you sure you can do that your majesty?" Judith asked as her head cocked to one side

"Of course I can so please step inside and we can get this show on the road" When the bunny made her way into the carriage, the fox climbed in behind her as the buffaloes took position at the front of the carriage "Now please no more of this 'your majesty' or anything like that, I am just simply Nicholas and am only in this position because of my father being king and putting in a good word for me because of what I have done to help those less fortunate" Nicholas said which got a hesitant nod of the bunnies head "okay so, can I please know your name so we can get going to your families home as quick as possible, not that I don't enjoy your company, I just don't want your parents to worry about you too much"

Judith smiled at how caring the fox was and how he seemed nothing like what she had heard and how he acted nothing like foxes from her past experiences "Ok your maj- Nicholas" It felt weird for Judy to call someone who was much more important and more powerful than her by name but didn't sound wrong "my name is Judith, Judith hopps" she said as the fox looked at her before he turned his head towards where the buffaloes where

"Hear that Bogo?" He asked rhetorically "Get this carriage to the Hopps residence"

One of the buffaloes huffed in response before the carriage started to move and Nicholas started to reach back into the basket that he placed next to him and pulled out a carrot which he offered to Judith who hesitantly took it when her attempt to deny it had failed.

Nicholas reached back in and pulled his paw out with another handful of berries which he eagerly popped into his mouth as Judith ate the carrot he had given her

"You think it would be okay with your family if I asked for more berries?"
