Love in the Big City

A Zootopia OC Story

A/N: I had originally planned to write/upload this chapter earlier, but previous activities got in the way. Also, the second OC has been drawn, so you can check it out on DeviantArt (Ones-and-Zeros). But, after though, because it will give away some things...I'm rambeling aren't I? Ugh...Roll Story!

*Music List*

Who will save you now - Les Friction

(Present)

I stared out the window of Kyle's apartment in aimless thought. I was still reeling from the pure elegance that is Zootopia. The music in my ears helped a bit, and was sort of inspiring, because I had made it to the most prestigious robotics institution in the city. Apparently, listening to Les Friction was a pep booster. Suddenly, I remembered I still hadn't told my parents where I was yet. After the song ended, and a few minutes of thought, about whos phone to call, I hit the speeddial for my mother. Three rings later, I hear the familiar sound of my mother.

"Hello?"

"Mom, its me Felicia. How are you?"

"*Gasps* Felicia? Oh, hold on." I hear rustling on the other end. She's probably putting me on speaker.

"Alright, you're on speaker. I'm fine sweety, just been busy lately. Sorry we couldn't make it to graduation. How have you been?"

"I've been fine as well. So remember when I told you that I was moving to Savanah Central? Yeah, that was because I got a job at the Zootopia Robotics Institution. Plus, it's right next to where Cousin Kyle works, which is the ZPD." I can 'hear' my parents smiling.

"Oh my goodness, honey thats amazing. But, how did you know your cousin Kyle works at the ZPD?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm rooming with him since we work a building away. If I remember corectly, under the orders of a rabbit named Hopps. I think her name was June or Judy, I can't remember. But yeah, I was so excited to get the acceptance letter from ZRI back at college, my roommate thought something had happened because I squealed so loud."

"Ha, that's funny. Speaking of, how was college in the final days?" I heard my dad's voice over the phone's speaker.

"All I can say was it was hectic. That's it. Hectic" Which was true because students were going mad with the amount of stress taking finals.

"Oh wow, that bad?"

"Yep."

This went back and forth for about 30 minutes, until she happened to tell me something that caught my attention

"So, if you want we could come to Zootopia and visit you this weekend." She said. I was taken aback by her offer, since she's had a history being claustrophobic. I don't think she can tell though.

"Nah, it all good mom. Plus Kyle's apartment is slightly cramped with me moving recently. I'll visit once I've gotten used to things here." Good move Felicia, now she won't have to have a claustrophobic breakdown.

"Yeah, ok. We know you're busy, so we'll go. Love you."

"Love you too. Bye."

"Bye"

After that conversation, I decided to head to work. I was scheduled to meet everyone today before I start work tommorow anyways, so after I got ready I was out the door in no time flat. I jogged to the building without breaking a sweat. This was helpful since I wanted to look nice for the first meeting. As I entered the building, I noticed that everything was colored. The walls, ceiling, doors, even the desks we painted bright, welcoming colors. Probably employee done, but it was amazing. I must've looked like a kid at Six Tails because I heard a voice behind me.

"Hi, welcome to the Zootopia Robotics Institution. What can I help you with?"

I was so surprised I jumped a bit. "Uh, I'm Felicity Fangmeyer, I have a coworker meetup here at noon. Mr Beartolli set it up." I told the lion. She nodded and started looking on the computer for what I assume was the appointment. Finally, she finds it. "Oh yes, here we are, 'Fangmeyer Coworker Meet'. I'll let Mr. Beartolli know you're here." With a sigh of relief, I sit down in one of the chairs in the lobby. Suddenly, the shop door opens with a startling sqeak. I hear a young voice say "Crystal, I'm headed to lunch so could..." By this time I've turned around to look who was talking. I realize the person speaking was looking at me, and suddenly I felt really self-concious.

Unknown POV

I looked at the cat in the chair with a surprised expression. She looked so familiar. I just couldn't place it. She suddenly sat back down, but not before catching a look of worry on her face. After regaining higher brain function, I continued my statement "Could you let the rest of the coders I've gone to lunch? They're all in a metting and its really boring in there without them." I finish with a small sense of guilt, knowing that being an intern has its limitations. Especially when a lunch meeting comes, and you're the only one without knowledge, or a lunch for that matter. "Sure, I'll let them know, James." Chrystal answered.

Still in thought, I left the building with out saying goodbye. Then it hit me. I knew where I'd seen here, Tri-Burrows STEM Academy. She was the chick who had run into me a few days ago. Oh crap, this is going to be tough.
