Hello good people. I have recently seen Zootopia for the third time in 3 months. I have become a part of the Zootopia fan base, meaning I'm obsessed with new stories, art pieces (nothing too inappropriate), and the characters in the movie. One part of the movie we get to see is the ZNN channel (which is a parody of CNN). I decided to expand a little more on ZNN with my Zootopia character, under my real name, Scott Wild. Some basics are that he is a grayish-whitish timber wolf, working as a weatherman for the news station. Even at his young age, he climbs into the responsibility as the chief meteorologist. I wanted to see how a story would tie in well with the protagonists of the movie, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde (which ironically has the same last name as me, just with the "E" at the end.) Anyways, enjoy the following story.

Chapter 1: A Weatherman on the Rise.

"5… 4… 3… 2… 1…, and you're live"

"Good evening Zootopia", said Fabienne Growley, co-anchor of ZNN, "Thank you for joining us evening. Tonight we move in to our top story of …"

Sitting out of range of the live feed, is a young timber wolf, with his first true day on the job. Scott Wild, dressed sharply in a grey casual suit, white dress shirt, and aqua colored tie, was anxiously waiting for the moment he would appear before millions of animals on live TV. He had been waiting years to get his career on track. Since being a little kid, he has had an interest in weather, and was always fascinated by how climate would work on a mammal. Coming from a long line of K9s and security guards in his family, he knew he would be different than the rest of his family.

He worked very hard in school to make the best grades. This made him a prime target in school, especially with his wolf stereotype of being a howler. Kids would always try to make him howl nonstop, and one time, ganged up on him, and but a muzzle on his face. He never let this phase him, and went on to be in the Top 5% of his high school class. He was accepted into the University of Zootopia, and got his master's degree in meteorology. Soon afterwards, he got picked up by ZNN to become a weatherman. Now, here he was, at the moment that would show what the world Scott Wild has become. But he was nervous and shaking.

"What if I screw up while on camera?" He thought to himself, "What if I don't make it through the broadcast without going into shock?" So many questions were running through his mind as the clock ticked closer and closer to his debut.

Near him was a jaguar by the name of Boi Cha. He was a veteran news anchor for ZNN, and had experience. Boi Cha doesn't go on until the next broadcast later that night. Boi noticed Scott being in the state he was in, and tried to give some last minute advice.

"Hey kid, don't worry about it too much." He said to the rookie, "Just think of it as a piece of machinery, not much else. I did that the first time I appeared on TV for the first time, and it has helped me since."

"I'll try to think that", Scott replied with a little bit of relief, "It's just that my family will be watching, and I don't want to screw this opportunity up for them."

"Don't worry so much about mistakes. People will understand that you are new to the station, but I will say first impressions count. What you do in the first 30 seconds will have a lasting impression with all animals in Zootopia."

"Thank you, sir. I'll keep it in mind." Scott said as he seemed to calm down more, and gain confidence.

"Mr. Wild, you're going to be on in 30 seconds," called out the lead camera crew organizer. There was no going back now. Wild had to make it through the daily broadcast for 3 minutes without getting camera shy.

"Positive thinking, think positively. You'll only be on for a few minutes, then you'll be done for now, until the night news casting."

"Wild, you're on in 3… 2… 1…, and you're live!"

"Good Evening Zootopia. My name is Scott Wild, and this is my first day here as a ZNN weatherman. I hope to make a long and interesting time here in the years to come. With that said, onto the weather for Zootopia: temperature wise, it will be 80 degrees in Savanna Central, a freezing 32 degrees in Tundratown, and a blistering hot 108 degrees in the Sahara Square, and nice normal 70 degrees in the Rainforest District. Weather wise, there is no precipitation expected over the next few days, but we may get some rain in 4 days, so be sure to have the right clothes on for these conditions. That's all from the weather station here, back to Growley and Moosebridge in the news center."

After the cameras went off, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he just did an excellent job. Boi Cha came over and gave him a soda to sip on.

"I know I should have said this when you first arrived here but, welcome to the family kid." Boi Cha said as he extended his arm out to Scott. Scott reached back and told him "Thanks".

The rest of the evening went without much conflict. He got through the night news casting before he got to go home. Scott got into his hatchback, and drove over to his home in Tundratown. He owned a small house just in a more quieter part of the district. He soon got home just in time as it was a full moon that night, and wolfs are known to howl at the moon. He got inside and just started to wind down. Wild got out of suit, and got into a t-shirt and jeans. He plopped down and started to play some video games. If he was known for anything other than for his love of meteorology, it would be two things: his love for food, and his love for technology, which included video games. Not long after, he got a phone call from his mom. Scott always loved talking to his mother when he got the chance, so he paused the video game and picked it up.

"Hello sweetie!" His mom said in her usual sweet northern voice, "I saw you on the TV. You did great!"

"Thank you, Mom. This has been a part of my dream for a very long time."

"I know I wanted you to join the police force, but shouldn't really complain since all 5 of your siblings are now a part of the law career." On top of always being picked on for his interests at school, his family strive him to lean more towards a law enforcement job. It worked for his other brothers and sisters, but for Scott, he was special. He finally proved to them he could become a weatherman when he got his master's degree. In light of it, at least he can bring different topics at family gatherings.

Among his brothers and sisters: John, Scott's "twin of the litter", became a receptionist at the ZPD headquarters, alongside his co-worker, Benjamin Clawhauser. This ended up working out for Scott, as he could share a place with his brother, and still be close in family wise. His other siblings, Walker, Marie, Katie, and Beatrice, all joined together, and started up a security company, which basically is a provider of protection on one's home, car, identity, and if they had enough money, even personal bodyguards.

"I know that I didn't join the bandwagon for my family, but at least I got to do what I wanted to do in the first place. So, how have you been holding up?"

"Well, I still got company from 4 of your siblings. I still upset that I lost your father."

"What happen to Dad was tragic. He… well… went on a dangerous mission, and he… slipped to his death. I still miss him. Even a year after that. Tell you what. How about I invite you over sometime in the next month, and we can do mother-son things. How does that sound?"

"That sounds really nice. Look, I got to go. It seems to be past my bedtime. Love you sweetheart."

"Love you too, Mom. Bye." Just as soon as Scott hanged up, his brother John walks through the door. John is wearing his standard police uniform, with blue shirt and pants, a navy colored tie, and starting to gain some weight, due to him being inactive for most of the day.

"Hey John"

"Hey Scott. You won't believe this, but I got the whole station to watch you go on the air for the first time!"

"No way. Let me guess, you got your buddy Clawhauser, those two small cops, Nick and Judy, and maybe only two other officers to watch it?"

"You're on the right track, but I really did get everyone to watch it, even Chief Bogo was impressed with your good communication skills. Anyway, want to hear even more good news?"

"What, that you broke your record of eating pink frosted sprinkled doughnuts?"

"Screw you, dog. No, that's not it. You know that weekend dinner I keep going to other officer's houses? Well, I invited Clawhauser, Hopps, and Wilde for one of your fantastic Saturday night meals!"

"That sounds wonderful. So, should I have a Spaghetti night then?"

"I guess so. I mean, what else we cook up in such short notice."

"Spaghetti it is then. Well, I'm heading off to bed, so I'll see you in the morning."

"Good night, bro."

The next morning, Scott awakes to the usual sound of the alarm going off in his ears. He looks at the date, and notes that it is only Thursday. Since he doesn't have to go into work until 3pm later that afternoon, he decided to take a morning jog. He got on his old track suit, and decided to run towards the commercial center in Tundratown. Usually, he gets some alone time to himself as he listens to music on his mPhone. As he ran however, he noticed people looking towards him as he passed by, and some even waving to him.

After about 30 minutes, he arrives at the local food mart, where he usually gets breakfast at. He orders his usual of pancakes and milk before sitting down and eating. For some odd reason, he detected something not right in his area. Could have been the food, the environment, or even the people. But knowing that is was probably his senses acting up, he decided to just ignore it and eat. It wouldn't remain this way for long as his senses over took him, and told him to move somewhere else.

He gathered up his stuff and just as he was about to move, something had hit him in the back of the head. At first he though some little kid had thrown a hard enough object to hurt him, but he quickly dismissed it as he started to lose consciousness. The last things he could remember were the mammals looking at him in shock, and the sound of growling. He then blacked out.

This story will be a work in progress. I want to make this as kinda like a novel, but with the chapters added on overtime. Tell me what you guys think. I will need every bit of criticism or help to make this story become a really well rated story. But I can't do that without the help of you guys. Let me know any ideas, thoughts, questions, comments, concerns, and I will hopefully take every one into consideration. Thank you.
