This is my first story. It will be a little bit darker in later chapters, but it will not bother anyone...maybe.
My name is Judy. Yes, maybe I'm a rabbit, but I am strong, determined and I can take care of myself. Unfortunately, that isn't even possible to think about my friend.
He is a tomcat and his name is Dylan, Dylan Rockwood. He is still erratic and sad, because of that accident, which happened many years ago. Both of his parents were dead. He is blaming himself for that and now he must live with his foster parents. But he can be glad that someone cares about him and has made him happy. He practically speaks only to me and hardly ever eat. He thinks the world is wasted. But he is wrong! He's only 9 just like me. We were lying in the grass under a linden tree, which my father planted years ago. Dad didn't like Dylan too much, because he was a predator ... And also because he always trampled his lawn ... so I met him secretly, behind my father. We stared at the sky and I asked him: "Dylan?" "Y-yes?" He replied uncertainly. "Ever wondered about the future? What would you like to do when you grow up?" I waited for his response, but he did not answer. I know that sometimes he was a little stubborn, but now It seemed that he wanted to compare first, what he wanted to say "I do not know, Judy. I do not think that there is something for me, where I can feel better. I feel good with you, Judy. But... I can not always be with you." I did not expect such a response. Not at his age. I saw tears in his eyes. I hugged him and told him:
"I read something about a town far away from here. They said it is a huge city and all mammals live there in harmony and peace...preys and predators. You know Dylan, tomorrow I have a performance close to our farm. I want you there" He looked at me with a smile and said,
"I'll be there. Just don't know what city you're talking about." I took his paw and said, "Do not worry. You'll see." He helped me up, then I thanked him and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed, but tried to disguise it. He was so cute. We said goodbye and I took off home. Dad knew for hundred percent with whom I was, but he didn't yell at me.
"Hi Judy, sweetheart. How are you?" He smiled.
"Oh yeah. I'm fine" Mom already setting the table.
"Stu, can you help me serve the table." "I'll do it," Mom looked at me blankly, but understood that I wanted to help. At the table there were 298 bunnies. It's hard to believe, but in rabbit life it is quite normal. Elsewhere other animals would even envy ... perhaps. "Judy, you are going to bed early. because of that performance. We will shoot it on camera with your dad..., right sweetheart?" Mom looked at my father. "Yes, Bonnie, I just think that Judy knows what to do and goes to bed until she really wants to". Mom rarely agreed with my father.
I went to bed, then I repeated what I will say to audience and most importantly, I wanted to increase Dylan's self-esteem.
Next day I was standing in front of an audience including Dylan. I proudly announced:
"And I will make the world a better place. I will become a police officer! "I heard a mix of laughter and applause ... And Gideon "Rabbit cop. Ha ha ha. Hardly "
He laughed at me straight in the face. Dylan was frowning at him and strangled him with a look. I smiled:" For dull minds, it is perhaps understandable. I'm talking to you, Gideon"
Gideon flushed and frowned. Dylan just cackled as I sank Gideon." Not far away from here is a city called Zootopia "
Dylan suddenly staring at a screen.
" Where all the mammals, predators and preys, live in harmony and peace, because our ancestors declared that anyone can be anything! " Now, I've heard a loud applause, but it was probably because of an end of the show. I wanted to find Dylan, but he already left. So I went with my parents and they had a little worry in their face.
"Judy, did you ever wonder how your mom and me got to be so darn happy?"
He asked me.
"Nope" I answered.
" Well, we gave up on our dreams, and we settled. Right, Bon?"
"Oh, yes. That's right, Stu, we settled hard"
"Honey is unlikely, perhaps impossible, that you can become a police officer"
"You should get better if you were with us and grow carrots"
"With us and your 295 brothers and sisters" said Mum. But then I saw friends from school and they hold some tickets and Gideon with Travis were following them.
"Give me your tickets right now, or I'm gonna kick your meek little sheep butt!" Said Gideon
"Ow! Cut it out, Gideon!"
"Baa-Baa! What are you gonna do, cry?"
"Hey! You heard her, cut it out!" I approach in my police costume
"Nice costume, loser! What crazy world are you living in where you think a bunny could be a cop?"
"Kindly return my friend's tickets!"
"Come get 'em! But watch out, 'cause I'm a fox! And like you said in your dumb little stage play, us predators used to eat prey, and that killer instinct is still in our duh'nuh!"
"Uh, I'm pretty sure it's pronounced D-N-A."
"Don't tell me what I already know, Travis!"
"I'm not afraid Gideon!"
I did not expect, however, that he throws me to the ground. Fortunately the police costume suit my fall ... Just the hat rolled into obscurity. "Ahhh you wanna cry?" I coughed on what he said and I kicked him in the muzzle.
"You don't know when to quit, huh?" Gideon replied angrily and pulled out the claws. I was frightened and closed my eyes. Then I heard a familiar voice.
"Not on my shift!" and I saw Gideon as he falls to the ground ... stunned. It was Dylan. He was able to stun him with a stick, he was so strong. He helped me stand again ..
"Judy, you got yourself in a really nasty stuff" He smiled and pulled Gideon's tickets out of his pocket and put them into my hands. Members of the class came running and asked
"Are you OK Judy?" "Yes. Dylan helped me" I smiled at him. "You're dense Judy, that Gideon Grey does not know what he's talking about!" I looked around me, put on my police cap and said, "One thing he was right. I never quit"
10 years later
With Dylan, we went to the same school and were ending the semester. In the morning he came to me and looked pretty sad. "Judy is hard for me to tell you this right now, when we finally have graduated, but ... but ..."
"Ohh Dylan, tell it to me.." Dylan sighed.
"They want me to be enlisted in the Army"
"You can not be serious ?!"
"Hey Judy,but you want to be a cop, remember? That's pretty the same " He was wearing a winning smile. "But the army is a different story altogether," I began slowly shed tears, What if that jerk would get himself killed? Dylan hugged me, his fur was so soft and fluffy and ...
"Judy, I know it's hard for you, but that's exactly what I would enjoy. That's the thing I want to do in my life and believe it or not I will come to you untouched "
I remembered that day when I asked him about it. But now I can do simply nothing, it's his choice. I'll miss him so much.
Since then, we have not seen. I graduated from the police academy, handing out fines, got a case, come across Nick, whom I then talked about Dylan ... Nick was a little jealous, but I do not blame him, then I discovered the truth about the missing mammals, along with kicking Bellwether's butt with Nick and now I have that sly fox as a partner at the ZPD . But now, something is bothering me... Where's Dylan and how is he doing?
Somewhere in a cafe downtown Zootopia
"Your order, sir?" Waiter asked strange man at the table who was reading a newspaper. "Um. I'd like a Turk" mystery man replied, "Yes sir," The waiter left immediately afterwards. "Hmmmm ... Bunny with a fox saved the city. Night howler eliminated. Bellwether behind bars." Then he somehow looked at the pictures in the newspaper and saw a fox with a bunny, while that bunny looked familiar to him. He looked more closely and now had clear in his eyes ... "Damn ... It's Judy"
"Here's your coffee," The waiter put his coffee on the table
"Oh. Thank you. It's excellent" but then I thought to myself:
"This is pap. That's the three-week marsh tasted better"
"Did you say something?" The waiter asked
"Ehhh, nothing"
The waiter then turned around and went to other customers.
After 5 minutes, someone sat beside me. It was a water buffalo.
"Eee ... Chief Bogo?"
"We meet again Rockwood"
"I knew you would come"
"Speak briefly," Bogo said nervously.
"You know ... Um ... I had to abandon the military world and continue as a police officer"
"Well... you didn't complain when the mayor assigned you to that terrible place" Dylan's smile faded.
"Chief, I had to kill more people than what is the population here in Zootopia. After a while I began as you say 'complain' "
"I know Rockwood, you're young and these type of things can be quite ... rough. In your age, I sent a lot of criminals to jail, but...I did not kill anyone"
"You see. I do not want to kill, I want to help"
"Well, tomorrow morning at the station. Try to make a good impression on them."
"Well, I think i can" said Dylan.
"You know what I mean," Bogo set a serious look.
"Yes, I know," Dylan was surprised by Bogo's serious look.
Bogo then left.
"Waiter! I want to pay a bill!" He took the newspaper from which he read and went on a journey. "Well tomorrow, I will find out everything about Judy and that fox. *laugh*"
