It was a bright, sunny morning; the kind that just makes you feel warm inside and predisposes you to having a wonderful day. Two proud parents were preparing breakfast for their young daughter with great gusto, for this was an important day. "Breakfast is ready!", both parents shouted in unison. "I'm coming!", their offspring replied joyously. She Gayly zoomed down the steps and impatiently hopped into her seat at the table. "Are you ready for your big day today?", said the father. "I'm so exited my tummy hurts!", she replied enthusiastically. "That's wonderful", said the mother, "but before you eat breakfast, your father and I would like to talk to you about why this day is so important." "Okay.", the young girl said. The father started ,"You see Diane, before cars and televisions, mammals were separated into two types; prey, which are animals that just eat plants, and predator, which ate prey". "I like to eat spaghetti", Diane innocently replied. "Ha ha, yes," her mother responded, "but back then, there was no spaghetti, so predators had no choice but to eat other mammals, and as a human, you, Diane Marie Archer, are a predator." Diane looked at her parents with an utterly shocked look on her face. "Th- that's scary, mommy!", she managed to blurt out. "Yes, back then, predator and prey were not friends", said her father. "Prey would always try to avoid predators, so that they wouldn't get hurt or killed, and so you wouldn't have a lot of the friends that you have now, like Nya Ram, or Julie Carpenter." Diane's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of her head. "That's scary!", she shouted. "Then what happened?!". "It was like that for a very long time, until someone had an amazing idea.", said her father. "It was an invention that let predator and prey live together in harmony; a collar for the predators to wear around their neck. Whenever a predator gets too angry or excited, the collar gives them a little "zap", so that they won't hurt prey, and since prey would be safe, we could finally be able to live together in the great city of Zootopia!", the mother lectured. Smiling, they both pulled down the neck of their tops, exposing a collar with a green button on it. "And today", her father proudly stated, "you are finally old enough to get your collar too!". This made the little girl perk up and grin. "I can't wait for my taming party!", exclaimed Diane. Her parents smiled, and served her breakfast. Afterwards, Diane prepared for the day, and her parents talked while doing dishes. "*sigh*, Its just not right.", her mother spoke with a melancholy voice. "She can never be that excited ever again." Her father turned to look at her an empathetic face, and put his hand on her shoulder. "It's for the best, honey.", he solemnly said. At that moment, both their collars beeped and the buttons turned yellow.
