Hey, folks, raccoonqueentwo here. I don't need to explain anything much other than this is a re-upload of my still-unfinished Raccoons fanfic project. I hope you will love it as much as I do. However, there are going to be a lot of changes to the progression of the storyline; with the discovery of generator sites like Seventh Sanctum and ChaoticShiny, you'll notice new characters and new worlds you've never seen before.

And with that, sit back, relax. and enjoy the show!

Prologue

February 22, 1996

She was in pain. Serious pain. Everything that had happened since that afternoon on Evergreen Lake was a blur for Lisa Raccoon. She knew that day would come...and she had been ready for it.

The moment she was brought to the hospital, she was told to change into a pale-green hospital gown and then she was put in the labor/delivery room. Her mom later joined her; she was to be there to comfort her daughter, as well as give her words of encouragement. As she watched the doctors and nurses get everything ready for the birth, checking the monitor she was hooked up to every now and then, Lisa tried to ward off the pain by thinking back on all the great memories she had with her family and friends...especially with her husband Bert.

"Hi, I'm Lisa...Bentley's sister...so you're Bert..."

Another hard contraction knocked Lisa right off focus and she groaned, gripping the sides of the bars of her hospital bed. Nicole laid a paw on her shoulder and whispered reassuringly, "Do not worry, Lisa. It will be all over soon." Lisa nodded; she then tried to fix her focus back on the memories, even as the contractions became harder and faster.

"...we were meant for each other..."

Suddenly, her daydream was interrupted once again by the commotion going on in the room. How long had it been since she went into labor? Four hours? Six hours? It didn't really matter how long it was, because she knew it was time. The doctor, who sat at the edge of the bed, instructed Lisa to push and she did just that, holding her breath. As she did so, one more memory drifted through her mind, the one she loved most of all.

"Lisa, we have been through thick and thin, and there's no other woman on this Earth that I want to spend the rest of my days with. Will you marry me?"

Finally, there was a small sharp cry and Lisa released her breath in a heavy sigh. She looked up to see the doctor holding up a squirming baby raccoon kit and showing it to her. He said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mrs. Raccoon. You have a healthy baby boy."

Lisa took a good look at the baby, who was now being cleaned up and wrapped in a white blanket. He had a small bent nose and straight ears, but his eyes were definitely Bert's. She smiled, took the baby, and cradled him in her arms. The nurse said, "So...what are you going to name him?"

She thought hard at hearing the question. With all those things everyone had been through, including the day she had been kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend David Blackmask, Lisa felt that she wanted a name for her baby that reflected those dramatic moments. Plus, she also wanted her newborn son to have a bright future-maybe one day he'd grow up to be the most amazing raccoon in the Evergreen Forest, just like Bert was.

She smiled, before gazing into the baby's raven-black eyes and whispering, "I'll call him Justice...Justice Raccoon."
