Chapter Two: Arrival

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Judy didn't know what to expect, she had heard that military training was one of the toughest things you could do, but how much tougher than her days working the fields in BunnyBurrow? They were about two hours into there drive when she decided to finally break the silence. "So… I didn't catch your name."

"Jaxon Clawws," came the quick reply.

"Well, what should I expect from this training?"

"You're a farmer, correct?"

"Yes, that's correct."

"Well then, take your hardest job on the farm, and multiply it by 15, that's how hard this training will be."

At that, Judy's eyes widened. The hardest job on the farm required the mammal to climb up their 80ft tall silo so they could get to the inside and clean it for the next load of whatever they were going to store. The bad part about the climb, was how slippery the handles were, Judy has heard many stories of how family members went to climb the silo, but slipped off part way through. Some of these stories ended with the climber just having a sore rump, other ended much worse, such as broken backs, broken legs, and broken arms. She herself was lucky enough not to fall and hit the ground, but she had almost slipped multiple times, and one day, she did, but was able to catch herself with her foot. When someone came up to help her down, that's when she realized just how much catching yourself with your own foot hurt. There is also stories about bad things happening when trying to clean the inside of the silo, but that's when Judy was pulled out of her memories by Jaxon's voice.

"Were here, get ready to head out."

Judy nodded and looked outside. It was huge, from where they were she could see ten buildings, one of them looked like a hanger for airplanes, and the other nine were all similar in shape and size. She then noticed a smaller version of the previous nine building, and wondered what that was for. Judy decided to ask the old wolf a question.

"So Jaxon, where are we exactly, I didn't see any towns or signs on the way here."

"We are about twenty miles south of Zootopia, and before you ask, yes this is the largest military base in Zeegram."

Judy closed her mouth and nodded at that. Not long after his answer, they pulled into a small parking lot just outside the area where the ten identical building were.

Jaxon said, "Ok, so you will take a bunk in barracks ten, and training doesn't start till tomorrow, so you have time to get your uniform and make yourself at home in the barracks. Dinner will be at 6:00, you miss it, you go without it, here are the directions to the barracks and dining hall."

Judy took the paper and her duffle bag, then nodded at the wolf, and started to head off when he called to her again.

"Also, a free tip, don't address anyone by there first name, address them by there rank, and last name. Have a wonderful evening Recruit Hopps." He said with a grin.

Judy didn't know why, but the grin made her shiver. Well, she thought to herself, I got four hours till dinner, so I got some time to set myself up in the barracks. She followed the directions to barracks ten, she then realized what that small building she saw on her way in was. It was her barracks, a barracks sized for mammals of her height class. She walked in to find it empty, and that's when she realized she might very well be the only small mammal to join the military, until a red fox tod walked in behind her.

_._._._._._._._._._

Nick didn't ask any questions on the way to base. He was just glad to get out of Zootopia, even if it was only a half hour drive away. When they got onto base grounds, Nick looked up to check it out, and though nothing held a candle to the size of Zootopia's buildings, it was still a large base. The view he had was dominated by the gigantic hanger at the center of the base. From Nicks angle, he could see that hanger was at least 4 pawball fields long, and 160 paws tall. It was absolutely huge! It also didn't have hanger doors, so what could they be using it for? Nick thought in awe. He was pulled from his musings when the recruiter handed him a piece of paper.

"These are directions to the barracks you will be staying at, and the mess hall, training doesn't start till tomorrow so you should get your uniform tonight, and diner is in four hours, don't miss it or you will be going to bed hungry. Now, get out of the zeep and be on your way, I have other things I need to do, and I cant be late."

With that, Nick grabbed his duffle bag and jump out of the car. As the zeep drove off, He made his way towards the barracks he had been assigned.

"Barracks ten huh?" he thought aloud, "Of course I would be given the last barracks."

He then looked up to where he was supposed to be, and noticed how small it was compared to the rest of them. Or maybe its just because I'm a small mammal. Nick then threw on his mask, giving himself that lazy smirk he would give to all the mammals he conned. But what he didn't expect was to walk right into a bunny that hasn't made it fully through the entry hall yet.

_._._._._._._._._._

"OOF" they both grunted. Judy was able to catch herself, and land back on her feet, while Nick wasn't so fortunate, and landed face first on the concrete floor. Judy saw this and went right to his side, worried he had been injured.

"O MY GOSH! Are you ok!"

Nick sat up rubbing his nose.

"Yeah I'm fine, but why were you stopped so close to the door?"

Just then he looked around, and realized why she stopped…

…They were the only ones there.

"Never mind, I think I know…"

"Yeah, I knew there weren't going to be any bunnies, but no other small mammals? Are they really that frightened to not even fight for there country?"

Judy stopped herself right there, so she wouldn't ramble on about it.

"I'm Judy by the way… Hopps! Judy Hopps."

Nick chuckled at that and replied, "Wilde, Nick Wilde"

They shook hands and sat there for a minute.

Judy decided she would continue the conversation, just to keep from it being awkward.

"So, what the reason you joined up?"

She noticed Nicks ears lower slightly, but he still held that smirk of his.

"I just needed to do something other than stay at home…"

She knew there had to be more than that, but she just met him, so she didn't pry into his personal life. Instead she decided to talk about something else.

"Well, I guess we should unpack and go grab our uniforms before diner, right?"

"Yeah, that would be a good plan."

As they were unpacking, that doe thought that maybe she would become good friends with this tod, considering it was only them in the entire barracks.

"So, what's a cute little bunny, like you, doing joining the military?"

Or, not….
