My ears and jaw drop in shock as I stare at Bell. He's dressed like a fox, and by that I mean he's wearing a horrible FOX costume! What happened to him? He looks ridiculous.

He walks in my direction with his arms open, "It's so good to see you again!" He says cheerfully and hugs, pressing me against his torso.

My nose twitches and I look up stunned. His paws are way too close to my hips. Bell's red eyes look at me playfully. I look around and notice my sisters giggling and sneering at us. My ears burn in shame and I avert my gaze.

"It's good to see you too." I blurt out nervously and gently push him away, trying to not look impolite.

We stand in front of each other and I take a better look at him. He's as tall as Nick, maybe a little bit taller. Other than that, I can't tell much about his psyche, since his whole body is covered.

"Hey, pal." Nick steps forward and puts a paw on my shoulder, "Nick Wilde!" He grins toothily.

Bell shakes his paw vigorously, "Bell Cranel."

"Gotta say." Nick chuckles, "Carrots never told me she had another fox friend."

I DON'T! My nose twitches, "Because he's not a fox! He's a giant floof bunny!" One of my best friends is walking around dressed like a maniac. Can this day get any worse?

"Well…" Bell laughs awkwardly and scratches his arm, "She didn't know it but..."

"A bunny?!" Red snarls viciously.

I then notice her approaching us from behind Bell, walking on all fours. She's bearing her sharp teeth like a savage and her blue eyes are slits filled with hatred. Bell raises his paws in a non-threatening manner and takes a step back.

My nose twitches and I ask confused, "Red! What are you doing?" I try to step in between them but Nick holds me back.

I look at him and he just stares at the scene in front of him with a big grin on his muzzle.

She licks her lips and takes a step forward, "A Flemish giant rabbit!" She growls.

What's wrong with her?!

Bell chuckles, "It's actually called giant floof-ouch!" He cries in pain and falls to the ground as Red pounces onto him.

I try to free myself from Nick's grasp to no avail.

"Just let it happen, Carrots!" Nick says.

Let WHAT happen, you dumb fox?!

My siblings gasp and freeze in fear as they see Red pinning Bell down to the ground with both of her paws on his chest, straddling his hips. She then licks her lips and goes in for the kill, biting his neck viciously.

"NOOOO!" I HAVE TO SAVE HIM!

"OMNOMNOMOMNOMN…" She happily nibbles his neck and Bell laughs heartily.

"Aww." Nick whines.

What? My nose twitches, "WHAT?! RED! What are you doing?" My chest heaves up and down as I breathe nervously.

Her ears perk up and she glances at me, "Umpf!" She answers, her mouth still locked on Bell's neck.

Bell chuckles again and I scowl.

Her eyes then widen and she lets go of his neck, "I pounced on the bunny!"

"I can see that." I say and then take in a huge breath, "But why?" My nose twitches and I fight back the urge to strangle her.

"You guys said he's a giant rabbit! A… GIANT… RABBIT!" She looks at me with the excitement of a kit, "What kind of vixen I would be if I didn't pounce on him?"

I blink a few times and my jaw drops, "A NORMAL VIXEN!" I say the OBVIOUS and then feel an immense pain in the back of my head.

"Heh…" Red shakes her head, "You're not a fox! You wouldn't get it!"

I joked about getting an aneurysm due to her sheer stupidity earlier, but if it keeps like this it will not be a joke anymore.

"It's not a problem, Judy." Bell says and suddenly slaps both of her butt cheeks.

"Yip!" Red turns to look at him surprised.

I can almost see Bell smiling under his mask. He sits on the ground with Red straddling his legs, "I don't mind it!" He says playfully and gropes her rear, pulling her closer to him till she's straddling his hips and their crotches are pressed against one another, "She can pounce on me anytime she wants."

WHAT IS HE DOING?! That's perverted! She is going to beat him up and…

Red's ears are lying flat on her head and she's giving him a shy look. The tip of her tail wags nonstop and she smiles embarrassedly.

My jaw drops and I scowl at her. What is she…?

Lucy suddenly sneers from near some of my sisters, "Hah, the freaks are in love!"

Bell spares her a quick glance and chuckles, "Lucy! Whoa, I didn't know you could talk! It's amazing what you can do when you're not sucking dicks in a dirty school bathroom."

GAAASP!

Lucy's jaw drops and she scowls at him, "You were always a weird loser."

"And you were always an annoying whore!" He answers happily, "I was just too polite to tell you!"

My nose twitches and I look shocked at him. He's not the shy and gentle boy I remember anymore.

He then ignores Lucy and my other sisters and turns to Red again. She smiles and giggles bashfully as he helps her stand up.

She offers her paw to him and he takes it, gently putting her soft paw inside the fake muzzle of his fox's mask. I stare in awe as he licks the back of her paw. Red's eyes widen in surprise and she grins, her tail wagging rapidly.

He gives her a lecherous stare, "I'm Bell Cranel!" Then, he puts a paw on her back, a little above the base of her tail, and pulls her closer to him, "And what's your name cutie?"

Cutie?! He can't say that! If he says it then that means! He is… hitting on her! My mouth hangs open. He never called me cute! When he asked me out he said he liked me because I was strong and cool but he never called me cute! I then notice I'm scowling at them and I huff annoyed. I'm not jealous.

Red smiles seductively and puts her paws inside his trench coat, caressing his big chest, "Red Cute Bushytail."

Bell's blood red eyes shine and he gropes her ass with one paw, caressing her tail with the other, "It really is a very cute bushy tail."

"I'm sorry for earlier." She wraps her arms around his torso and presses her body against his, "I just couldn't pass the opportunity to nibble on a high-quality giant rabbit meat!" She licks her lips.

This is so wrong. All of this is wrong.

Bell chuckles and pulls her gently as he sits on the couch. She sits by his side and he says provocatively, "I can give you something meaty to nibble if you want!"

Oh God! He became a pervert. My ears drop. What happened to my friend?

I sit beside Nick and my nose twitches, "Bell." I call sadly, "Why are you wearing a fox outfit?" He used to be one of my best friends and he liked me. But now he's not even noticing I'm here.

This situation can't get any worse!

"Yeah, what's with the getup?" Nick asks amused.

Bell looks at us, "Well…"

"There you are!" Rob suddenly exclaims as he spots Red.

The vixen groans and the twins stop in front of our couch. Their noses twitch and they look at Bell with confused expressions in their faces.

"Hey…" Bob looks confused at Red, "Who's he?"

"He's Bell." I answer annoyed.

"Ah." Rob nods and then clears his throat, looking at Red, "So… wanna go back to our room and…"

"I'm not into bunnies." She cuts him down with cold words.

Bell then chuckles and gives my brothers a mocking glance before putting a paw on Red's exposed thigh, "You guys heard the lady." He says smugly.

My brothers and I scowl. Nick chuckles.

Red smiles seductively and leans over Bell's chest, "Say, Bell. Do you have a girlfriend? I bet the vixens can't get enough of you."

Wait a second. My nose twitches and both I and the twins stare confused at her. She knows he's NOT a fox. Doesn't she?

"I don't have a girlfriend right now." Bell answers.

Red wags her tail, "Well, hopefully, I can change that."

"BUT HE'S A BUNNY!"The twins and I shout at the same time.

"Don't be specist, Carrots!" Nick chastises me.

"But I'm not being specist!" I look at Nick and then point at Bell, "He may be bigger than she is but he's a giant floof bunny! She said she wasn't into bunnies."

"And I'm not!" Red retorts, "But I know a manly fox when I meet one!"

What?!

Red smiles seductively, "He may not be a fox per see but he's the foxiest male I've met ever since I got here." She says and hugs Bell.

He has been the most perverted male you've met since you got here!

Bell stares silently at her.

Nick then complains, "Good one Chestnut, but he's not the foxiest guy you met today." He points at himself and declares smugly, "I am."

Red scoffs, "And what good is a tod if he acts like a low testosterone cunt!" She mocks.

I feel my stomach twisting and I gulp, "Red. You haven't even seen his face yet. You barely know him."

"I'm a pretty good judge of character!" She declares full of herself.

Good judge of character?! She thought Nick was gay because he didn't rape her.

"If he's only a fox in the inside, then so be it! Beauty fades but personality last forever… or at least until dementia kicks in." Red looks at Bell, "When I get old I want someone that I know knows the right way how to treat a female by my side. I want a manly tod!" She then glares at Nick, "Not a bottom feeder!"

Nick's jaw drops. What's a bottom feeder?

"You really think I'm a fox?" Bell asks weakly, finally saying something.

She nods, "You sure are way foxier than any male I met in a long time." She answers happily.

Bell stares at her in silence and then suddenly he pounces on her, forcing her to lie on the couch.

"Yip!"

My jaw drops as he grabs her by force and kisses her, getting her muzzle inside the open mouth of the fox's mask. Red thrashes a little bit under him, but then relaxes and closes her eyes, embracing him.

My nose twitches and I stare shocked at my childhood friend as he sexually assaults a vixen he just met.

"HEY!" Bob scowls.

Rob then shouts, "GET OFF HER!"

Before they can do anything to him, Red pushes him away from her and slips out of the couch. She walks on all fours and swiftly makes her way towards a nearby tunnel entrance while Bell stands up and looks at her.

Red giggles and wiggles her butt in the air a bit before running away. Bell doesn't waste a second and runs after her, violently shoving both of my brothers out of his way.

I stare at him as he disappears down the tunnel and my sisters start laughing hard.

"We can always count on Judy and her entourage of circus freaks to cheer us up." Lucy mocks me evilly.

My ears burn in shame and I rub my arm, averting my gaze from them. Damn it! This day can't get any worse. What the hell is Bell thinking? What is he going to do when he catches her?

Oh! My eyes widen! I bet it will be something indecent! My eyes narrow and I start running in the direction they went. I can't allow it!

"Carrots?" Nick asks confused and starts following me.

"I have to stop them, Nick!" I won't allow my friend to disgrace himself any further! I'm going to find him and put some sense in his head

I wander around until I spot one of my little sisters running out of a living room with.

Her eyes are wide and she's screaming at the top of her lung, "SHE'S EATING HIM!" She holds her pink bunny doll close to her chest, her eyes wide in terror as she flies past me, "SHE'S EATING HIM!"

I stop for a second and Nick catches up with me.

"Heh! I wonder what the little one has seen!" He says mockingly and then chuckles.

I roll my eyes and start running again. I don't know what is happening but… I'm sure they are in there! I smile and enter the living ro… GASP!

I cover my mouth and my ears drop at the obscene disgustingly revolting scene happening in front of me.

"Hmmpf! Awwwmmmpf!" Red's muffled moans fill the empty living room. She's straddling Bell's lap, facing him. Her arms are wrapped around his neck and the two kiss passionately, her tongue lashing out at his mouth inside of the mask's muzzle. He catches her tongue in his mouth and sucks it.

EWWWWWW! They are drooling inside his mask! Actually, scratch that! They are drooling EVERYWHERE!

Bell's paws grope, caress and touch every part of her body they can reach, "Ummm!" He moans a little and she starts moving her hips back and forth, grinding her crotch against the middle of his legs.

This is wrong! She's acting like, and I'm sorry for even thinking it, a vulgar prostitute. The Bell I know would never be interested in a girl like that.

Nick then gently grabs my shoulders, "I think we should let the two lovebirds have some privacy!" He whispers, trying to pull me out of the room.

Red then whimpers softly and her body jerks forward a bit as he strokes the base of her tail.

"I bet you're hungry!" Bell chuckles and slaps her ass hard, "Why don't we find a room so I can stuff you full of rabbit meat."

Red stares at him with pleading eyes and pants with her tongue lolling out of her mouth, whining softly, "Yes!"

OH, HELL NO!

"BELL!" I shout feeling my blood boiling while I march towards them, "What do you think you are doing?"

The two perverts glance surprised at me and then Red smiles.

"Hey Judy!" She nuzzles his neck a little and then asks smugly, "Have you already met my boyfriend?"

I roll my eyes and facepaw, "Of course I have already met him. He's my childhood friend… " Wait a second! I look shocked at them, "BOYFRI… but you two just met!"

Bell shrugs, "What can I say?" He says amused and then looks dreamily at Red, "The two of us hit off."

My jaw nearly hits the floor.

She smiles and closes her eyes as she hugs him.

This could be a sweet scene if it weren't for the fact they just met five minutes ago and have been making out like wild savages until now.

"You say you two hit off but you're just two perverts!" My foot stomps the floor and I huff annoyed.

"I'm not a pervert!" Bell retorts hurt and then puts his paws inside his trench coat and takes out a pocketbook, "I followed the mating guide!" He states proudly.

"Mating guide?!" Nick and I ask at the same time.

Red sniffs the book curiously and Bell answers, "Yeah! It teaches how to date outside of your species."

My nose twitches and I cross my arms, "I find hard to believe a book would tell you to act like a sex offender in order to get a girl."

"Ummm..." Nick scratches his chin and walks closer to Bell and Red. He then takes the book from Bell's paw and takes a look inside, "I see, very interesting. This book was made in Terra, Carrots." He comments, taking a few steps away from them, "The ultimate dating guide, featuring the mating rituals of five hundred species!" He reads aloud and then his ears perk up.

Nick's eyes widened for just a second before turning back to his usual expression, a sign he found something that interested him, "Hey Wannabe! Find if I keep this book?" Wannabe?

Bell's eye twitches but then he answers happily, "Sure thing, Wimp." Wimp?

This time, Nick's eye twitches and then he grins, putting on his mask, and stores the book safely in his pocket.

Oh for carrots sake! Now he wants to read the pervert's guide 101 as well. This day couldn't get any worse.

"See Judy! That book is not perverted!" Red wags her tail and puts her muzzle inside Bell's mask mouth opening, giving him a quick lick on his real lips before looking at me again, "It helped Bell and I find each other and it'll help Nick find a male!"

"I'm not gay!" Nick grumbles.

I roll my eyes, "The book might not be perverted but you two are." I point at Red's rear, "Her behind is exposed for all to see, Bell! You just took one look at her and you started groping her. You weren't like this when you were younger, you've changed." I say accusingly.

Bell freezes for a moment and then turns to Red, slapping her ass, "Judy's right! You can't walk around half naked anymore."

Red's ears lay flat against her head and whines, "But…"

Bell slaps her ass again and shakes his head tauntingly, "You're my female now! So I'm the only one allowed to take a good look at your body!"

"Awww!" Red gives him a quick kiss and says sweetly, "I don't have many clothes but maybe we can get one of my training shorts." She grins and whispers, "They are fur tight!"

Wait! I thought she didn't have anything to cover her modesty with!

She slips out of his lap onto the ground, giggling playfully and Bell stands up as well.

"Then we better move your stuff to the room I'm staying in!" He says and grabs her butt cheek, pulling her closer to him.

She wraps her arms around her torso and they walk away.

"We'll be back soon, Judy!" Bell says.

No… NO!

"Bell wait!" I call nervously and he stops walking.

My nose twitches and I stare at the red eyes of the male who once was my best friend, "I think Tony said he needed some help moving a large box in the barn." My ears drop as I lie shamelessly, "If you please could help him… it would help a lot." I need to get him away from her.

"Sure." He then gives Red's ass a little slap, "I'll be right back."

She giggles, "I'll be sure to make you a surprise then."

As Red drops on all fours and runs away, Bell chuckles and looks at me, "Let's go?"

Now we'll be alone and he'll have to explain to me what the deal with his behavior is. I nod, smiling, "Su…"

"Sorry Wannabe! But Carrots and I have some stuff to discuss." Nick suddenly pulls me close to him, "But please, go ahead and put those noodly bunny arms of yours to work." He says with a smile.

Bell raises an eyebrow and glances at Nick, "Your friend is funny Judy. This vixen is quite sassy, but she's still not as cute as my Red."

Nick's ears lay flat on his head and he looks confused, "Vixen?"

"You're a dude? You're so girly I thought for sure you were a vixen." Bell turns his back to us and chuckles, "But I guess you're just a wimp then." He mocks as he walks away.

GASP! What happened to him? The Bell I knew would never talk like that to anyone.

"I liked your friend!" Nick says.

WHAT?! HE DID?! BUT THEY JUST… My nose twitches. I don't understand males.

Nick smile and looks mockingly at me, "He's way nicer than I thought he would be." His smile then turns into an evil grin, "And seeing your cute face when he started hitting on Chestnut was priceless."

Dumb fox! I bury my face in my paws and groan. Okay Judy! Bell's one of your oldest and dearest friends, a male that was once was interested in you and one of the few mammals that actually supported your dream when you were younger and now he doesn't even look at you anymore. That's not a problem! It's not!

I take a deep breath and giggle. It's fine… really… My nose twitches. "It's not fine!" I say annoyed.

Nick crosses his arms displeased, "You said he wasn't an old boyfriend! Why are you so jealous of Wannabe anyway?"

"I'm not jealous! He's acting like a deviant!" I take a deep breath and look at Nick, "The Bell I know was a sweet, gentle and caring buck! He supported my dream and always admired me. I used to be kind of his personal hero!" I smile a little when I remember how he used to talk to me but then my nose twitches, "But now, he's a pervert and he didn't even look at me! All he cares about is going after the booty of a random vixen he has never seen before."

Nick grins, "So you're jelly he's not your friendzoned fanboy anymore?"

WHA-What?! I freeze and stare at his insufferable smirk, "The friend zone doesn't exist, Nick!" I retort. My heart beats faster as he stares at me with a mocking expression.

I then finally groan, "FINE! I'm a little mad he didn't hit on me! Are you happy?" I ask crossing my arms.

"I'm feeling a little hungry!" He raises an eyebrow amused, "Do we have peanut butter to go with your jelly, Carrots?"

My ears drop and I avert my gaze, "I'm not jelly! I just…" I sigh, "I thought he might still be interested on me after so long… I didn't think about that all of the time, just a few times." I mutter embarrassed, "I didn't think we would work last time but… he has been the only male I ever met that liked me for who I am."

Nick stares at me with a mocking smile and I grit my teeth together.

"You're not a female, Nick, you wouldn't understand female's heart! All of the bucks in Zootopia and in Bunnyburrow only ever hit on me because of my looks or cause I was famous."

Nick then places a paw on my shoulder and squeezes it gently, "Well, then maybe you should keep chasing away those pesky bucks and start looking around for some better suitors from other species." He says gently, "A fox perhaps."

Oh Nick! I smile and roll my eyes. Of course that he would advise me to look for a fox. He always brags about how good foxes are at everything they do, "Thanks Nick! But foxes are not all a bunch of gentle mammals like you seem to believe." I giggle and then frown a little, "When I first arrived in Zootopia, I accidentally got lost there in my first day and entered a bar to ask for directions. There was a fox there that hit on me in a very rude manner."

"WHAT?!" Nick growls, his claws prickling me a little.

Umm… he doesn't need to be so mad about it, it was ages ago. I nod, "I still remember what happened as if it had been yesterday. He groped my rear and my tail and said Hey Babe, how about you and I try to discover if your rabbit hole can handle my meat carrot." My ears heat up in embarrassment and anger as I remember that night, "Then I slapped him and he followed me out of the bar, trying to get me to go to bed with him." I scoff, "That's part of the reason I decided to bring fox repellant with me in my first day in the job."

I shake my head. That fox was the complete opposite of Nick. He was the stereotypical criminal fox that… that…

My nose twitches as I notice Nick's furious expression.

Ah! I need to change the topic away from that fox. My shoulders drop and I say softly, "But Bell is not like that at all! And when I got back in touch with him I remembered how he always looked at me with a pure smile on his face."

I smile and sigh, "He was a gentlebuck and he liked me for who I was. I realized I missed that about him. He made me feel pretty without acting like a pervert near me." I feel a sudden heat rising in my ears.

Nick's eyelid twitches.

I rub my arm embarrassed, "I wanted someone to approach me because they liked me, someone to make me feel loved and supported." I don't want a boyfriend. What I want is… What was the thing that Bell's Grandfather always kept saying over and over again! "Bell did all those things when he lived here and I miss that."

"Too bad then!" Nick blurts out and grins, "He doesn't have the hots for you anymore, Carrots!"

My nose twitches and I say annoyed, "Bell was supposed to be paying attention to me!" I'm not jealous! I'm just mad! He's not even looking at me, "He doesn't even know her and…!"

I suddenly stop talking as Nick places one of his paws on my cheek and stares into my eyes.

Nick's soft paw pads caress my fur and he gives me a warm smile, "You're the most beautiful, funny and smart doe I ever met and if you ever want to feel loved then all you have to do is to come to me." He says softly, "I love you, Carrots."

Awww! My ears drop and I smile flustered. I rub the tip of my ear and avert my gaze, "I love you too you goofy fox!" I put a paw on top the one caressing me and squeeze it gently, "But it's not the same when a friend is saying it." I sigh, "I want romance!" That's it! That's what Bell's Grandpa always said!

"Are you kidding me?" Nick asks dumbfounded.

Nick doesn't understand how a female's heart works. "I already have everything I always dreamt of. I have a perfect job, a perfect partner, I live in a perfect city… all I need now is romance!"

Nick then suddenly nearly falls to the ground before standing straight again.

Huh?! "Nick?" I ask confused.

His eye is twitching and he's grinning so much it almost seems like he's about to maul someone.

"Well, I guess I already know why Wannabe decided to move on!" Nick says bitterly and then grins evilly, "And you better be happy with just my praises, Carrots. You won't get anything from him, no matter how much you bark at that tree!"

I raise an eyebrow confused, "What are you talking about?"

"Considering how kissy kissy those two were just a while ago." Nick chuckles, "They're probably going to seal the deal as soon as they get alone in a room!"

Wait a minute! Sealing the deal? Does he mean they are… GASP! I CAN'T ALLOW IT! The Bell I know is in there somewhere. I can't let him cross the point of no return!

My ears perk up and I notice Bell returning.

"Hey Judy! I met Tony on the way up and he said he didn't need any help." He says amused and then stops, "Am I interrupting something?" He asks, looking at us.

"No! We were actually talking about you!" Nick quickly responds and smiles, "Carrots here was saying that Chestnut and you would make a cuter couple if you had a Red Fox mask and tail instead of an arctic fox's."

THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID AT ALL! My jaw nearly hits the floor. Is Nick really going to tease me the whole time while we are here? Sigh! Can this day get any worse?

Bell smiles inside his mask, "I thought about it but I like them how they are right now. They match my fur and…"

"SHUT UP!" Red snarls furiously from inside a nearby tunnel, "I don't care about what you have to say, you fucking four-eyed witch!"

GASP! Such a potty mouth!

Red comes out of the tunnel fuming with anger. She then spots Bell, runs in his direction and hugs him. Sarah comes out of the tunnel as well and sighs annoyed as she stares at her cousin and Bell.

Sarah walks in our direction, cleaning her glasses, "So what? You're going to get in bed with the first mammal that hits on you?" Sarah asks calmly.

Whoa. My ears drop and Nick and I exchange quick glances before taking a step back. There's going to be some serious family fight going on here soon. Even Bell is looking troubled at the two vixens.

"He is not the first mammal that hit on me!" Red's jaw drops and she responds offended, "He's a fox! He courted me!"

Sarah Scoffs, "He's a bunny! A Flemish giant bunny according to what you told me but a bunny nonetheless." Sarah clicks her tongue disapprovingly, "I knew you would try to jump on a male's junk as soon as we took our eyes of you."

"I like him." Red stands her ground resolute, "He's nice."

Sarah says emotionlessly, "And what good will it bring? He's going to die when the others find out about it."

"Die?" Nick, Bell and I ask confused at the same time.

The two vixens stop arguing for a moment and then turn to us.

Red's ears lay flat on her head, "No one is going to die!" She glares at Sarah, "This fucking four eyes is just mad because she and my Mom can't get in the way of my love life any more."

"We were never getting in the way of your love life!" Sarah sighs and adjusts her glasses.

Nick smiles and whispers expectantly, "Catfight!"

I fight back the urge to roll my eyes and lose.

Red scoffs, "Then why did the two of you always made sure I couldn't get a single boyfriend."

"We were trying to stop you from starting a God damn riot;" Sarah snarls, finally losing her patience a little, "Most females only flirt with one, two, maybe three males when they are looking for potential mates. But not you! You had to be a cock tease and flirt with every male from any species as long as he was your type!" She crosses her arms, "What do you think it would happen if you tried to pick a mate out from one of your suitors? Someone would probably die."

Red's ears lay flat even more.

"Why would someone die?" I ask confused, "And why would so many males want Red anyway?"

"My cousin has a few good points about her. She's virgin, young, healthy, fertile, aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, a virgin and extremely affectionate." Sarah says, smiling softly as she praises Red. But then her smile disappears, "Unfortunately, however, she flirted with many males so my aunt and I had to stop her from dating at all, otherwise one of those males could get really hurt when they fought each other for her."

My nose twitches, "Why would they fight? That doesn't make any sen…"

"SHE'S A VIRGIN?!" Nick and Bell ask at the same time.

"I'm not!" Red whines.

Males! I groan and stand in front of Sarah. "What do you mean by fight over her?" I ask, ignoring the two horny males foxe… I mean, horny male fox and bunny behind me.

"If she were to try to pick a mate in Terra, more than fifty males would be fighting to show their dominance and be chosen by her. With a number that high, some of them were bound to be badly hurt." Sarah then sighs and looks at Red, "That's why we kept an eye on you. Not because we hate you Red, but because we love you and didn't want any males getting hurt because of you."

Males fighting each other because of females?! Are they still in the Dark Ages?! She has to be joking, right?

"If that's the case then why are you still doing it?" Red glares accusingly at Sarah, "Almost no one knows I'm in Zootopia."

Sarah smiles, "And you thought that your cunning plan would allow you to get a mate without anyone noticing and doing anything about it!" She sighs, "Did you know that that there are more than a few males that caught wind of it and decided to come to Zootopia to get you without any of the other suitors getting in the day?" She asks, "Because that's the reason Aunt Aza asked me to come and make sure no Zootopian would get hurt."

"Wait! Wait!" I raise my paws and ask, "Males really fight for mates in Terra?"

She nods and my ears drop, "That hasn't happened in civilized society in forever!" My nose twitches and then I realize. Bell is going to get away from her now! She is trouble. I smile and turn to look at Nick and Bell, "Did you two you hear all of this?"

Both of them nod.

Bell then asks incredibly serious, "Is Red really a virgin?"

Nick nods vigorously and says, "She was saying she participated in a gangbang!"

OH for carrots sake! I facepaw and groan. THAT is what they paid attention to? In this whole conversation?

"I'm not a virgin." Red says, her ears laying flat against her head.

"She's a liar!" Sarah looks at her cousin, "The closest to sex she has ever been was one time when she watched a gangbang but didn't take part in it. She's as pure as a little flower."

"I didn't want to get my fur sticky and it looked gross!" Red says but then her jaw drops a little and she looks at us saying nervously, "But I already had sex! I'm experienced!" She looks at Bell wit ha kit face, "I know how to please a male."

"No, you don't. You just keep saying you do to flirt with every male you meet." Sarah scoffs.

Nick then asks with a suspicious interest, "What about the blowjobs?" He then licks his lips.

Sarah rolls her eyes, "My cousin is a known liar. She can't help herself, considering her line of work involves deception and misinformation. But you have to take what she says with a grain of salt, otherwise, she's going to make you believe the most fantastic, and made up stories."

"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BLOWJOBS?!" Nick and Bell ask desperately.

I scoff and roll my eyes. Males! That's all they think about.

"I already gave many blowjobs." Red says and averts her gaze shamefully. She then whispers nearly inaudibly, "To Mr. Snuggly."

She fed her stuffed toy?!

Bell takes the nervous vixen paw's in his own and gulps, asking expectantly, "Red… did you lie? Are you a… virgin?"

Red's tail get's tucked between her legs and she looks down, averting her gaze. Her ears lay flat on her head and whines softly, "I am… but I just lied because I know males like an experienced and confident female and…" She stops as soon as she sees Bell fist pumping the air victoriously.

Bell hugs her and stares into her eyes, "Don't worry! Knowing you're a virgin doesn't bother me at all!" He says softly, caressing her cheek, "I like it actually." He gazes at her with loving eyes.

I then notice Nick stealing a few glances at Red. He's looking at her differently than he was a while ago.

I scowl and my foot stomps the ground faster. So what if she's a virgin? My nose twitches and I say bitterly, "I'm a virgin too."

Bell glances uninterested at me and chuckles, "Don't worry Judy. I never thought differently."

"UWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA…" Nick bursts into laughter and slaps his knees.

I… ummm… Good! I nod and my nose twitches. I don't want anyone thinking I'm some female of dubious character. My ears drop and I look at Nick. Why do I feel like they are making fun of me.

Red and Bell then embrace each other and I comment annoyed, "Bell! Did you miss the part where she said there are males coming after Red and that they will fight each other for her?"

"No, I did listen to it." He responds, "But all that means is that I just have to beat them up when they try to get close to my female." He answers chuckling.

"That's the spirit, Wannabe!" Nick nods. Why does Nick keep incentivizing him?

"Awww!" Red nuzzles his neck, "I knew I had chosen a real fox!"

THAT'S… IT!

"HE'S A BUNNY!" I say annoyed, "NOT A FOX!"

"I am a fox in a bunny's body!" Bell states adamantly.

Wha… what?!

Bell looks at me, "Judy, after I moved out of Bunnyburrows when we were teenagers the new school I went to had a lot of foxes." He stops for a moment and then takes a deep sigh and explains, "So I started acting like a fox would because I wanted to make new friends. I didn't want to be a loser with only one friend again. At first, it was just an act to get friends but as time passed, it became easier and easier to act the part and I started feeling different."

My ears drop. I never thought he was a loser.

"I noticed I was being a fox all of the time, not just in front of my friends. I started feeling great. I became happier, more confident and I started actually loving myself again. It all felt so natural, so right. It's hard to explain but… one day I was walking down the street and then I realized it." His eyes shine and he says, "I had been a fox all along."

I feel a hole where my stomach used to be and I gulp, "But Bell, you're a giant floof bunny."

"I have the body of one but I'm a fox." He says happily.

My jaw drops and I look sadly at him. He's a tranny! Oh shit! I mean… I don't have anything against transspecies mammals… but… why did he have to be one of them?

"Hehe! I can't blame you." Nick comments, "I wouldn't be surprised if every other mammal from all species out there wanted to be foxes too."

Egotistical fox.

Red licks Bell's lips, "He doesn't just want to be a fox. He is a fox!" She then looks at Bell and asks softly, "Is that why you wear the mask and fake tail?"

Bell clears his throat and nods embarrassedly.

Red giggles, "That's dumb!" She says, not noticing the hurt in Bell's eyes.

Who does this vixen thinks she is? She has no right to say that to him. My nose twitches. Even though it makes no sense for an adult giant floof bunny to believe he's a fox.

Red's tail wags, "Wearing a costume doesn't make you more of a fox, Bell. Even being a fox doesn't make you more a fox if you don't act like one. I mean, just look at Nick." She giggles.

Nick looks annoyed at her.

Red grins toothily, "Appearance doesn't matter. It's what's inside you that matters!" Her blue eyes shine as she gazes at him, "With or without a costume, you'll always be a fox." She hugs him tightly and buries her muzzle on his neck, closing her eyes, "My fox!"

Ugh! I groan and nearly gag in disgust. How cheesy can she be?

Bell slowly pushes her away from him. Just distant enough so he can see her eyes. She smiles and he stares petrified at her. He silently sheds a single tear before kissing her.

"I love you." He says with a ragged breath and then she yips as he embraces her. The two close their eyes while they kiss passionately.

It should be me that he would be wooing! But NOOOO! He throws himself at the first female who says she'll open her legs to him. He used to be a nice guy but now he's just a pervert.

"Nice." Nick gives his thumbs up at Bell.

I elbow the dumb fox, maybe a little harder than I should have, and then cross my arms. I can't believe I got my hopes up! I think all those romantic things Bell told me when we were younger were a lie.

I then hear a deep sigh and notice that Sarah is facepawing. I think she has been facepawing this entire time. I don't blame her though.

This is stupid! This is all stupid! My nose twitches and I sigh. This day can't get any worse.

"JUDY!" My Mom screams despaired and enters the room, running.

Damn it! What happened now?

"But Moooooom, she was eating him!" My little sister complains and then lets out a little scared scream as she sees Red and Bell, "See! She's eating him!" She points at them.

"Not now sweetie!" Mom says and then stops in front of me with a shaky breath. She opens her mouth and then freezes, noticing Bell's costume, "What the…?" She asks confused.

Yeah! I know right!

"JUDY!" Several of my siblings scream at the same time as they enter the room, all running as if they were fleeing from a landslide.

Nick chuckles amused and nudges my arm, bringing me back to reality, "Whoa, what got all of these Carrots so jumpy?"

I roll my eyes at his comment and then Lucy steps forward from the crowd.

"Listen here, our burrow is not a hotel for mangy savages." She huffs furiously and points upward, "You go there and tell those mutts to get out of our burrow!"

Strange noises come from within the tunnels and all my relatives shiver. My Mom and my siblings then all start nodding fearfully, their eyes wide with fear.

Ummmm… Nick and I exchange confused glances and I ask, "What are you talking about?"

We hear the strange noise again, louder this time and Mom holds my youngest sibling close to her.

"Sweetie." Mom takes a deep breath and then says, "You know we all love to have your friends over but maybe you should have invited fewer mammals."

"But I…" I stop talking and my ears and jaw drop. Oh shit!

Nick nudges me with a dumb look on his face, "Carrots… are you seeing what I am seeing?"

"GROOOOWL!" Several male foxes growl and snarl viciously at each other as they appear from the tunnel.

Dad walks slowly in front of them, guiding them with shaky steps. His eyes are wide with fear, his nose twitches nonstop and his paws shake uncontrollably.

Red breaks the kiss and looks at the commotion, "Wait! I know these guys!" She states happily.

Sarah groans loudly and facepaws even harder.

I'm having a bad feeling about this.

Red lets go off Bell, breaking their embrace and walking away as if she had forgotten he was still there.

She then walks in the direction of the foxes, "Hey guys! What're you doing here?" She asks, wagging her tail.

Bell's foot stomps the floor a few times and he follows her. The small mob of tods stops growling for a moment and they all turn to look at her.

"Red!" The silver fox in the front of the group exclaims excitedly and runs in her direction, followed by the other foxes. Each and every one of the tods tries to get to her sooner than the others, but the silver fox gets before the others can.

GASP!

The silver fox embraces her as if she was her long-lost lover and kisses her passionately. Red doesn't fight it, instead, she embraces him, fully accepting his love and affection and returning it.

She closes her eyes, kissing him just as she was kissing Bell not even ten minutes ago.

SHE'S A WHORE!

Suddenly two foxes put their paws on the silver fox's shoulders and pull him away from Red.

He lets the vixen go and expertly spins around, attacking both males. The two jump back and suddenly all of the fifteen males start glaring, snarling, hissing and baring their teeth at each other again.

"Judy! Judy! Judy! Judy! Judy!" My Dad whispers nervously, nudging my arm.

"What?!" I ask annoyed.

"There are foxes!" He then points at the vulpines, "Lots of foxes in the burrow!" His nose twitches, "You need to get them out of here! You're a cop! Or maybe Nick can! He can use some fox talk with them and get them to leave."

"Dad! There's no such a thing as fox talk." I roll my eyes, "And why did you let them inside in the first place?"

He scoffs and looks desperate at Mom before answering, "And what should I have done? Politely tell the army of snarling death machines to go away and hope for them not to maul me?"

He has a point there. "Don't worry Dad. I'll take care of this."

Suddenly the silver fox snarls at the others, "Think you guys got a chance against me, you little shits?"

A red fox in front of him steps forward and growls back, "Just try it, motherfucker!"

GASP! There are kids in the room!

"You two can beat each other all you want." Bell says smugly and puts his paw on Red's hips, pulling her closer to him, "But don't try touching my female again, bro."

The foxes look surprised at him for a moment and then snarl, ignoring his attire.

"Wanna die bro?" A platinum fox snarls.

The silver fox takes a step in his direction, "Get your filthy paws off my woman before I tear them off your arms and beat you up with them!"

Alright! I need to stop this.

"Wait for me, Carrots." Nick whines.

"Alright guys! Stop!" I say, trying to catch their attention.

They all look at me for a second and then Sarah walks in.

"She's right! You all know the drill!" The vixen adjusts her glasses and says sternly, "Get yourselves in position and form a circle. It's time to end this once and for all."

What?!

The foxes nod and growl insults at each other as they follow the vixen's orders. I then notice Bell doing the same as them.

"Are you sure they can fight in here?" Nick asks Sarah.

She nods, "There are only sixteen mammals. I brought a first aid pack just for this. Can you set the circle while I go get it?"

"Sure thing Four Eyes!" Nick chuckles and does a little salute.

Sarah ignores his comment and walks away.

"Nick, you're not helping them start a fight." I say annoyed, crossing my arms.

"They are going to fight?" My parents ask loudly behind me.

Red cups her paws on her cheeks and giggles gleefully, "They'll fight for me!"

Stupid vixen! I facepaw and notice my family member's expressions of horror.

Nick smiles, "Don't worry! No one is going to get hurt." Then he looks at me, "I'm not letting you stand in the way of true love, Carrots."

I raise my paws confused and ask the obvious, "What?!"

"You're trying to stand in the way of Wannabe and Chestnut's love!" He says hurt, putting a paw on his chest, "The romantic fox in me won't let you keep them apart!"

This dumb fox! "You want Bell to win." I look shocked at him, "Why?"

"That way he won't pump your belly full of kittens!" Nick answers and turns his back to me, walking in the direction of a swift fox.

I DON'T WANT KITTENS! THIS INSUFFERABLE FOX! Sigh! I won't get anything out of Nick. I need to make sure Bell doesn't go with it.

I turn to where Bell is and see him doing some stretching. My ears drop and I ask him dumbfounded, "Bell, you can't be thinking about fighting, are you?"

"No!" He looks at me, his red eyes shining, "I'm thinking about winning!"

"HAH! I knew you only attracted crazies." Lucy laughs from near us, "Your freak friend is going to get himself killed over some vixen whore."

I glare furiously at her and grit my teeth. If she wasn't my sister I would…

"You're only jealous because no male ever had to fight anyone over you!" Bell chuckles, "They didn't even need to ask. Your legs were always open."

GASP!

Lucy's nose twitches and she huffs, "I can't wait to laugh at you after one of those flea-ridden savages beats you up and gets the whore you want."

Bell chuckles and ignores her. Out of the corner of my eyes, I can see Red going from male to male, giving them a hug and some prep talk before their big fight. Doesn't she have any shame?

My nose twitches, "Are you really going to do it for her?" I look at him as he finishes his stretches, "She doesn't care about you." I do.

"I am." Bell gazes lovingly in her direction, "I felt a connection to her."

I scoff and say annoyed, "You two met twenty minutes ago."

He shrugs, "She was the only one that completely understood me and accepted me for what I am."

"A freak!" Lucy mocks and some of the does in her entourage giggle evilly.

Bell doesn't even acknowledge Lucy and says softly, "I think I'm in love with her." No! You're just horny!

I feel like I have been punched in the guts and my nose twitches. He never looked at me like he is looking at her right now. He was never this assertive when he was with me either. He always said beautiful things, but he had no pulse… I guess it was all just to try to get inside my pants, just like he's doing with Red now.

I scowl and glare at him. I was prepared to give him another chance. Who does he think he is?

"So what? You're going to fight real foxes in that ridiculous fox costume." I ask annoyed.

"Don't worry! I've been teaching Meow Thai for a long time…oh! You're right! I can move better without the costume." He chuckles and starts talking out his mask.

He's going to get himself killed! I can't let him fight. Even though he's acting like a pervert, I'm sure the Bell I know and love is in there somewhere. He's just hiding it but inside he's still that weak, feeble, unattractive buck that… that…

My eyes widen and my nose twitches nonstop.

Oh!

I gulp and my heartbeat rises. Oh my!

Sweet cheese and crackers!

Who will win?

For those of you wondering why Red acts the way she does when choosing a mate.

Fox Courtship

Male foxes court the vixens and often fight with other males during breeding season. The female chooses which one receives her favors. The males follow the female until she makes her decision. Some foxes become life mates, Red is one of them.

Fox Copulation

If you hear a lot of yips and howls emanating from the woods on a winter's night, it could be the sound of foxes engaged in sex. Vulpine copulation lasts between 15 to 20 minutes, often with a great deal of noise involved.
