Tod's Big Mistake
Chapter 1: Another
"Tod, Tod, Tooood?" Vixey calls out as she looks for Tod in their burrow. It was near midnight. Where the heck is he? She thinks to herself. After a few minutes, Vixey —knowing that Tod was capable of defending himself if anything happened— decides to just leave it be and starts walking over to her bed, she was about to lay down when she hears something moving around outside, she stops in her tracks and looks at the exit of the burrow. I should go see what that was, she thinks as she starts heading to the exit
"BOO!" Tod was standing in front of Vixey
Vixey screams as she loses her balance and falls on her back.
"TOD!" Vixey exclaims angrily "I told you to not to never do that, you scared the living hell out of me." Vixey struggles to get up.
"Oh c'mon I was trying to have fun" Tod says trying to hold back his laughter
"Ok, you had your fun, NOW HELP ME GET UP PLEASE!" Vixey commands
Tod walks over to Vixey and helps her up. She stares at Tod for a second before walking over to her bed
"You're sleeping outside today" Vixey in a serious tone
"Why?" Tod asks puzzled
"Because," she lays down in her bed of leaves "you scared me, after I told you countless times not to do it"
"Oh c'mon, let loose for a while." Tod flops down his ears and looks at Vixey with a depressed face
"Aw, I can't stay mad at you" Vixey says in a soft tone "fine, you can sleep with me, but DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN OK?!" Tod nods in agreement then smiles. They head off to their respective beds. Once Tod gets to his bed he lies down and looks at Vixey, appreciating her shiny red and white fur... Man, she looks nice, I'll tell you what, Tod thinks before going to sleep, she sure is...
Psst, Tod... Tod... Get up" whispers a soft female voice outside the burrow. Awoken from his nap, Tod starts groaning as he struggles to get up. "Vixey?" Tod asks tiredly, stretching his paws and back. He lets out a big yawn.
"No Tod, it's me, Jennie" Jennie whispers
"Jennie!" Tod jumps to his feet and thumps his head on the solid dirt above him. He exclaims in pain "Jennie, What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you, I want to do something fun"
"This late at night?"
"Yes, and I'm sorry, it's the only time your sister won't bother you."
Tod stops for a moment before telling Jennie he was going to check on Vixey. When Tod gets to Vixey's bed, he finds out she was not there. Where's Vixey? He thought, maybe she went to get something, I should probably tell Jennie to leave. Tod turns around and walks over to Jennie "uh... Jennie, I can't tonight, I just remembered I have things to get done" Tod softly whispers
"C'mon Tod, I just wanna have some fun." Jennie walks inside the burrow and sits down.
"You can't be here Jennie, Vixey's not here and–––"
"Aw, that's too bad" Jennie says sarcastically. She walks over to Tod and starts to nuzzle him, she then throws Tod to the pile of leaves which was his bed.
"Jennie NO! PLEASE!" Tod tries to fight Jennie off of him.
"TOD!?" A dismayed female voice exclaims
"Vixey! Oh! It's not what it looks like!" Tod was panicking as he tries to move Jennie–– who unfortunately, was on top of him––Jennie then gets off of Tod and spots Vixey. "Hi, I heard about you, you're Tod's sister" Jennie says
"Sister? Ugh l, Tod, really? You lying scum!" Vixey snaps as she crawls inside the burrow
"Then what are you to him?" Jennie asks as she approaches Vixey
"I used to be his girlfriend." Vixey says depressed. Her feelings were hurt, and Tod knew it. Tod stares at Jennie and runs behind Vixey
"Vixey wait! I c––"
"You what?" Vixey growls "you're gonna clear this up? You're just gonna apologize to me? No Tod, it's too late for that. Tod... How could you do this to me? I trusted you." Vixey's voice started breaking "I loved you more than anything, I should've let you die." Vixey was now sobbing at this point. Tod slowly approaches Vixey and nuzzles her. "But Vixey, I––"
"No Tod, I don't want to hear it" Vixey exclaims as she steps away from Tod annoyed at his nuzzling
"VIXEY! Tod yells "I'm–––"
"Oh, now you're screaming?! You think you're so good don't ya? I should've let you die!" Vixey's sadness turned into anger that built along with every sentence
Tod was stunned at what Vixey had just told him "Vix–––"
"Bup, bup, bup, bup! Save it, I don't wanna hear another word out of you." Vixey runs towards Tod and abruptly stops in front of him, causing Tod to lose his balance and fall on his back "don't you EVER talk to me again, are we clear?" Vixey barks furiously at Tod. Tod gets up slowly, analyzing what Vixey just told him
"Bu––"
Vixey cuts Tod short "I said, ARE WE CLEAR?!"
"Yes Vixey" Tod replies slowly. Vixey–– angry at what just happened–– sprints away, leaving Tod behind. The only thing he could do now was watch as Vixey runs off. He sits down and bows his head in sadness, feeling guilty for what he has done
"Vixey..."

How to Save a Life — The Fray
Step one, you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
