As always, the characters and places in this fanfic aren't mine. They belong to Disney. I'm using them in this fanfic because I fell in love with Zootopia after watching it. This is the follow up to my last one. Hopefully I can bring in some of the other characters from the movie. Sorry if that doesn't happen. If that happens, great; if not, I don't care. And last but not least, a special thank you to judithwildehopps for letting me use her 'Baby Ruth' character from her stories.
Anyway, I hope you like the story. Email any and all comments (even burns) to Silver_Wolf1_99 . Now on with the story:
Doctor's Orders
By Silver Wolf1
Chapter One:
Snowball Effect...
The holiday season was in full swing in Zootopia. Everywhere you looked, stores had festive displays up, apartment buildings and houses had decorations up as if they were trying to outdo each other. While it may be strange for some, the weirdest thing had to have been the snow that was on the ground in City Center. It wasn't enough to cause any massive problems, just enough to reach the top of the ankle one some of the medium sized mammals. Even Little Rodentia had a small amount of snow on the ground.
Yet for one small mammal, the snow reminded her slightly of better times. As what some would call an arctic fox walked along the sidewalks, Grace couldn't help but think back to time when her mother was still alive and the fun they had on days like this. She stopped long enough to reach down and scooped up some snow. 'I see why some animals hate this time of year,' she thought letting it fall to the ground. She flicked the last of the snow from her paw before continuing on.
Now normally she, like so many other kits, would be waiting for the lunch bell to ring. But due to duel certain circumstances, all the students had to head home early. Lucky for her, the school wasn't that far away from her home; as was her parents work. As the ZPD building came into view, she noticed a familiar two figures standing outside the building. The one was a red fox she had come to respect and love like a father, the other was a fellow officer that she had known for years.
'I wonder what they're talking about,' she thought before an idea popped into her head. Trying to stay as quiet as possible, she quickly ducked behind a nearby tree and formed a snowball.
'Sorry about this Fangmeyer,' she thought glancing out from her hiding spot. She waited until the one officer started to head back to the building before throwing her snowball. The frozen sphere flew through the air and hit her old friend right between her shoulders. She quickly ducked out of sight as she heard the tiger start yelling at her father. Making sure to stay hidden and not get caught, she quickly prepped another snowball.
Once the tiger stopped yelling at her father, she quickly stepped out from hiding long enough to throw another projectile. Only instead of hitting her friend or father, it hit a tree another officer was standing under that had come out to yell at them.
"Three, two, one," she whispered before a startled yell came from the new arrival. She looked out and placed a paw over her mouth as she watched her father and Fangmeyer start digging the other officer out. Not wanting to stick around for the aftermath, Grace quickly and quietly ran inside and watched as her father took off running as the other officers started throwing snowballs at him.
After a few minutes watching, she couldn't help but giggle as she said, "I so wish I was recording this."
"The security cameras are recording this as we speak, Ms. Locksley," a familiar voice said next to her, "But shouldn't you be in school right now?"
"A combination of a pipe bursting in the basement that knocked out the furnace while a few students blew up some toilets, Mr. Bogo," she said looking up at him, "Sorry about starting a snowball fight."
"Don't be," the cape buffalo said with a slight smile, "For as long as I've known Detective Wilde, I have been waiting someone to do something like this to him. Granted most of the precinct was hoping it would be his mate that got him."
"You know mom is going to want a copy of this, right?" she asked looking back out the window.
"A copy of what?" a grey bunny asked walking up to the two.
"Your daughter got Fangmeyer and Snarlov to think your husband threw snowballs at them," Bogo answered as his smile grew, "Which escalated into a two on one snowball fight."
"Please tell me someone is recording this," Judy said as she watched her mate try not to get pummeled with snowballs.
"The security cameras are recording this right now, and Grace's school closed early due to a pipe burst causing the furnace to go out," Bogo stated.
"The school called a few minutes ago letting me know, and I was about to go get her anyway do to a doctor's appointment," Judy replied.
"Can we stay to see if dad gets hit?" Grace asked looking at her mother.
"As much as I would love to watch that happen, we have to get going now," Judy said giving her adoptive daughter an apologetic smile.
"I'll make sure to have the video of this ready for when you get back," Bogo said looking at the two.
"Thanks chief," Judy said before the two headed for the elevator. After pressing the button, they stepped into the waiting car and went down to the car port.
"Are we allowed to take a squad car, mom?" Grace asked the doors opened.
"We won't be taking one of the squad cars," Judy said as she held up a set of keys, "We're taking your father's car."
"Won't he be mad when he goes to leave?" Grace asked as they walked over to a blue four door coup.
"We'll be back long before he gets off the clock," Judy replied as they got in, "You don't want to go, do you?"
"I'd rather stay and throw snowballs at dad," the young kit said as they buckled up.
"That makes two of us," Judy said before starting the car, "Just don't tell your father that."
"Only if you don't tell him about the snowballs," Grace replied.
"What snowballs?" Judy asked as she pulled out of the parking garage, "Anyway, what all happened with the pipes at school?"
Grace took a deep breathe before saying, "A bunch of boys dropped a firecracker in a toilet in each of the boys bathrooms. That caused the pipe to burst that was next to the furnace. After the principal found out what all happened, he suspended the ones responsible and sent everyone else home. Because of the damages, I may not be going back until after the New Year; which means no Christmas party."
"At least for your school," Judy said smiling, "Don't forget, my family is coming into town to spend the holiday with us. Once they figure out where to stay for cheap."
Grace was silent for a few seconds before saying. "I think I know a place, but you and dad are not going to like it."
"Why do you say that?" Judy asked pulling up to a stop light.
"Because it deals with one of the places my mom left me in her will," the young kit replied looking at the dash.
"And which one is that?" Judy asked.
"The building we live in," Grace said shyly, "I asked mom why there was no one else on the floor the apartments on and she said that dad bought that floor and the one below and above it so they could be alone."
"You mean you own three floors of that building?" Judy asked surprised.
Grace nodded and said, "All three floors can hold all of your family and Aunt Vicky's, and the lights green."
"I think the three of us need to have a talk about what all your mom left you when we get home tonight," Judy said as she started driving, "But also about what to get everyone for Christmas."
"I think I might have an idea for at least Grandma Maria," Grace said smiling slightly, "But I need to talk to dad about it."
