Three days before adoption... MARCH 24th

Both Nick and Judy were at their apartment that they shared the rent for. They had been living in this apartment ever since they got married three years ago. They had tried multiple times to have kits of their own, but, sad fact of life and nature, fox and bunny genes just don't mix. Who knows what kind of abomination would form if they did! So they had been talking about adoping. They had sent in a form to see if they were qualified for adopting a child, and after two weeks of waiting, they finally got a letter back.

"Hey Nick!" Judy called out after coming back from getting the mail.

"Yeah, Carrots? what is it?" Nick said as he paused his game on his i-pawd.

"Well... there's something that just came in the mail, that I think both of us will like..."

"Oh really? What's that?" He asked as he got up off the couch and started walking towards Judy.

"Its a letter from the 'Child/Family services', I think its in response to our forms we sent about two weeks ago."

"hmm, have you read it yet?" Nick said, noticing the seal on the envelope was broken.

"Yes, yes I have, and guess what?

"What?"

"We got ACCEPTED!!" Judy exclaimed with joy.

"Really?!"

"We can bring a child into our home and make them our own!"

"Thats GREAT! So when should we book our appointment with the Orphanage?"

"Well, we have the entire spring break off, we should do it then."

"Alright, that should work, I don't have any plans, let's do it."

"Sweet! So it's a Promise?"

"It's a promise."

Day of adoption... MARCH 27th

Location: Orphanage...

Violet was a young arctic fox, she was seven years old, and usually kept to herself, for good reasons. Everytime she tried to do something important, she messed it up some how. She had severe PTSD from her birth-parents, which she kept to herself, telling people lies about who her parents were, stories ranging from "Drug addicts" to "Alcoholics" to, just not caring about her, which would have left her broken anyway, But in reality, her parents were quite abusive. They always beat her down when she failed to do something right, or just didnt do it, when she begged them to stop, they only hit harder. They told her she'd never amount to anything and that she'd always be their {instert offensive swear here}. They even gave her a painful and permanent scar on her back by whipping her in the same spot, over and over, to remind her of what they told her. Eventually, she ran away to Child/Family services, and got put in the Orphanage. She also got bullied quite often, and everytime, it was different tactic and reason, but it was the same mammals who did it. A ten year old wolf named Tyson, and a nine year old fox named Justin. Everytime she saw them, she immediately knew trouble and pain was coming, and immediately gets defensive. When in public, she usually had her tablet with her, she drew all sorts of pictures she made, along with some stories she wrote, she also programed her own games and softwares. again, she never showed them to anyone. When she was alone, however, she LOVED listening to music, it helped her take the edge off of anything. She was always listening to music when she worked. She also liked playing piano, she was really good too, but she never played in public fearing people would make fun of, or hurt her. She usually likes to wear her favourite purple shin-length dress, (below the knees, so no one sees anything, but above the feet, so she doesn't trip) a plain white tee-shirt, and a red zip-up sweater.

"HEY! Give that back!" Violet screamed as Tyson took her Tablet.

"What's the matter? Was this important to you?" Said Tyson in a baby voice, attempting to mock Violet's tone.

"Yeah! Do you have something super private you want to keep secret?" Justin said as he turned the Tablet on.

"NO! PLEASE! Don't, I have personal stuff in there, please don't look at it." Violet said as she started crying.

"Ohhh, something personal..." The bullies said in almost perfect unison.

They then turned it on and started looking through all her files

"NO! Please STOP!" Violet screamed as she jumed at them to retrieve her precious Tablet, but Tyson held her back.

"Oooooh, look at all these pretty picture-" said Justin

"No! STOP! PLEASE!" She said starting to cry even more as she tried to get out of Tyson's grip, ultimately failing.

"It would be a shame if-"

"N- no, Please, d-don't..." Violet said as her tears overwhelmed her, she gave up.

"Someone deleted them," Justin said withan evil smirk on his face as he hit the delete button.

Then Violet went nuts, she lashed out and started hitting and clawing all over the place, she didn't cause a lot of damage, but, they did let go of her, droped her Tablet, and ran away laughing...

Violet stared at her now broken Tablet, It still worked after the drop, but there was a crack in the screen now, luckily there was a screen protector on it. She checked through her files, and sure enough, all the drawings she made, where gone, all her O.Cs, all her designs, gone, with no way to get them back. She broke down crying right there, she picked up hey Tablet and went to her favourite corner, sat down, and restarted her lost art.

Montage 5 hours

"Welp, here we are." Said Nick as the pulled to the side of the curb.

"Ooooh, I'm so exited! We can finally start a family!" Judy said with exitment.

"Yep, start of a new chapter. Shall we go in?"

"Why yes we shall."

So they went in, and started filling out all the necessary paperwork, and then they were told to go in to the lunch room and start talking with the children as they ate dinner, so as they went in, they immediately looked for children who eating alone. Then the saw an arctic vixen being picked on by a grey wolf and an orange fox, Judy could barely make out the conversation...

"HEY! COME ON GUYS, YOU'VE COUSED ENOUGH TROUBLE FOR ME ALREADY! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" She yelled.

"Oh, come on, what's wrong? You don't wanna share? Rude." the wolf said as he sat down beside her and tried to grab her tail.

Now Judy knew that grabbing a foxes tail was like grabbing their private parts, a foxes tail is very important to them, if they let you touch it, that means they trust you with their life, however, as soon as Violet noticed that someone was touching her tail, she swung her arm around and punched him in the jaw.

"He deserved that." Nick said as he choked out a laugh. "Come on, lets go help her out."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!!! YOU CAN'T JUST GRAB MY TAIL LIKE THAT!" She yelled and held her tail close to herself.

"Oh really? Wanna bet?" He asked as he grabbed tight of her tail and picked her up by it. she screamed out in pain as she flailed around upside down.

"OW OW OW! PUT ME DOWN YOU JERK! OW!" She yelled.

"Very poor choice of words, swe-" He said

"HEY!" Judy and Nick called out just as he let go. Violet landed with a thud, and was immediately unconscious.

"Ohhhh, crap." Tyson said as soon as he saw Nick and Judy.

" 'Oh crap' is right! You cant just go grabbing a foxes tail, especially not a Vixen's tail. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" Nick yelled! "It's just as bad as grabbing her crotch! you've basically just raped her!"

"Ooh, Shit, I didn't know that, I'm sorry!" Tyson said with guilt, covering his face with his paws.

"It's not us you should apologize too, it's her," Judy said as she gave him her death glare.

"And another thing, after she clearly told you not to touch her tail, you picked her up OFF THE GROUND by it! WHY!?!?" Nick yelled.

before Tyson could respond, Violet started waking up, she moaned in pain as she tried to picked herself, but as soon as she moved her back, she yelped out in extreme pain.

"See, look at that, You've probably broken her tail-bone."

"I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" He said as he ran away, crying and covering his face.

Judy and Nick slowly walked over to the little girl. she looked up at them with tears in her eyes.

"W-why woul*sob*would he d-do that *sob*" She said as she cried, looking down at her tail.

"I dont know, but you're safe now, here, I want to check if your tail is broken." Judy said gently.

But as soon as she moved closer, Violet flinched away, but not without discomfort.

"No! Don't touch it!" she said defensively.

Judy moved back, "Don't worry, I wont hurt you, I just want to see if it's broken, ok?" But the little girl didn't budge.

"No! please, it's fine, it just hurts," She said as she started crying again.

Then Nick stepped in "Hey, Sweety, if your tail is broken, we need to know so we can treat it properly, a broken tail left unattended could lead to lots of problems in the future. I've done it, I should know. now please just let us see."

"O-ok. I'll trust you," She said hesitatently, "But please don't hurt me."

More tears rolled down her muzzle.

Nick smiled gently, which calmed her down a bit. "Don't worry, I have no intention in hurting you. If it hurts, just say so, and I'll slow down, ok?"

With an "Ok" from Violet, Nick started at the base, and immediately got a yelp of pain from her, and she quickly pulled her tail away.

"OW! that hurt!" She said clutched her tail.

"Well, its not broken, but it's definitely out of place, you'll need to see a chiropractor. I qualify for lots of things but thats not one of them."

"We have a chiropractor here, I could go see him." Violet said.

"Alright, can you walk by yourself?"

"I think so." Violet said as she tried to get up. after about five seconds of pain, she made it, but it hurt, a lot. "It hurts a lot to stand" She complained. It was now that she realized her tail was limp as a wet noodle.

"Yeah, I bet." Judy said, "With the way that kid was holding you, I'm surprised it didnt break your whole back! By the way, what's your name sweety?"

"My name is Violet." She said shyly.

"Well, Violet, How would you feel about us adopting you? hmm?" Nick said after looking at Judy, with her smiling at the idea,

Violet gasped. "REALLY? Ya mean it!?"

"Yes, we do." Judy said, smiling at Nick like it was the best idea he ever had.

"All we need is your aproval, and we'll figure out the paperwork." Nick said proudly.

"I'll go pack my things!" She said with exitment as she tan to her room, forgetting about her hurt tail and tripping over it. She managed to catch herself, but it still hurt.

"Here, lets get you to the chiropractor first." Nick said as he helped his daughter-to-be up.

"ok" She said, "Will it hurt?" She asked, fearing whatever pain was to come.

"Not if they do it right." Said Judy trying to calm her down.

"Ok, I'll trust you."

"Thats what I like to hear" Said Nick happily.

So after her appointment, they went to fill out paperwork, which took about an hour, and then they got all her stuff together, and they were ready to go,

"So, how does it feel to officially be a Wild-hopps, Violet?" Judy asked?

"It feels great! I'd much rather be with you, than my real parents." Violet said with confidence, "My real parents were jerks, and idiots, they were always taking drugs and alcohol, so they always either high, or drunk. And they never really cared about me, I was just a house cleaner to them, so I ran here, and I've been here ever since." She said with an obvious hint of sadness, "But now I have you!" She said as she oicked uo her Tablet and held it close to her chest.

"Whats that?" Nick asked pointing to the device, "Some kind of ipawed?"

"Oh, this? She said, holding it up, "This was my uncle's, he gave it to me bofore he died, he had said it was good for graphic design and programming, the two things I like most, so he gave it to me. He was the only person who teally cared about me until he died of cancer. Now I use it for drawing, writing and programming."

"Thats really cool, do you mind if we see some of your work?" Judy said, trying to reach out to her.

"Sure! Here, let me find a good one!" She said with a smile. But the smile quickly faded as she remembered that those jerks Tyson, And Justin, had deleted all her work. All her programs, all her art, all her designs, gone. Tears started welling up in her eyes, then she broke down crying.

"Hey, Sweety, what's wrong? We trigger a bad memory, did we?" Judy asked worriedly.

"No, I just remembered that those same jerks that wrecked my tail, a couple hours ago, they were picking on me, they took my Tablet, and erased all my stuff, I had to start from scratch. They even erased all the apps I used to make my work, and those cost money, and I have to pay to get them back. I told them they'll have to pay me for those, but they just laughed and punched me in the gut."

"Oh my, well, if it's any help, we can buy you some online gift cards, and help you get your stuff back." Nick said, Judy nodded along with him,

"Yeah, we'll help you any way we can." Judy said.

"Thanks, but I already re-bought the apps, they weren't that expensive, a total of $5, and I've already started a new design for a character, it's not finished yet though." She said, not wanting them to waste their money on something that wasn't nessesary.

"Oh, well, alright then, so are you ready to go?" Judy asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready." Violet said getting kind of nervous.

"Alright, lets go then!" Judy and Nick said in unison.

So they went and left the Orphanage, hopefully never to return.
