Zootopia - Sly Human, Dumb Zootopia Chapter 7

*NEWS A/N* Hey guys, Gaz here, I've got something I need to say concerning the previous chapters of this story, first I wanna say thank you to the few people who have commented and given me praise and even more so to the ones who have given me feedback on my writing and grammar, I know that the way I write isn't anything like J.K Rowling or Roald Dahl or any famous writer ect, and I know that my grammar or punctuation isn't the best, I have no excuse for it being that bad apart from the fact that I've always struggled with written English as a subject in school and college, so as I'm writing new chapters, for any of you who are new or are re-reading my previous chapters, please don't be alarmed if a few things change, like if grammar or sentences improve or I change the centring/position of my wording.

I hope you all understand that by doing this will make it all easier for you to read, and easier on my mind to worry less about trying to please you all, after all this is fan-fiction and I'm supposed to enjoy writing this for a hobby not an occupation hehe, thanks for reading and staying with me this far and I hope you continue to stay with me.

Thank you, all of you, so anyways here's the next chapter so don't be alarmed if it looks different from my previous ones as I'm trying different techniques and settings.

And nearly 3000+ views guys?! after only a week? my god I love you people!

Gaz.

(Be advised alot of descriptive stuff in this chapter and it was awkward beyond measure to make up and write this)

(ALSO I FIXED CHAPTER 5 PEACE!)

The alarm clock began the song of its people, the constant infernal beeping known to all who chose to have a life that runs with time, sadly our human must also answer the call of time, his eyes opening and staring at the ceiling, head rolling to the side as an arm flops onto the snooze button, sitting up and rubbing his tired eyes as he let out a yawn and then stood up to his full height and begun his morning stretches.

after finally waking up, he grabbed the PT clothes he needed and left my room and headed down the corridor in nothing but his boxers towards the locker/shower room, another weird thing about this place was that they shared a shower room and toilet block, apparently they thought that having a gender shared would help boost the camaraderie between officer which would allow them to bond more and work better together a force and officers of the law.

And apparently it fucking worked, they can't fucking live together as predators and prey but they can work in the sodding shower together...giggidy.

Not that he cared right now, he was just grateful that showers where empty right now, didn't really fancy having anyone see him naked, stripping of the dirty boxers he'd slept in and jumping into a stall, he blasted on the water and took a quick army shower to clear the dirt and grime from last nights pre-sleep workout, washing the suds of his body he turned it cold briefly as he always did to give him a wake up boost.

Finishing off, he stepped out and grabbed his towel and began drying himself of the residual moisture, dumping the towel on the bench, he grabbed his PT gear and put it on, checking the time noticing it was only half past five, good maybe he could read for a while more before he had be outside his door at the ready, but he had to do something prior, as he had a new partner to wake up.

"Bella... Bella...wake up."

"..." the sleepy zebra refused to wake up or acknowledge what was about to happen to her.

"Bella seriously wake the fuck up..." He dead-panned as he prodded her.

"..." still nothing, this zebra was a heavy one, not even a mortar could probably wake her... probably.

"Fine, you asked for it stripy arse" I moved forward and leaned over to grab the far side of the bed, and promptly yanked it upwards, making the zebra woman roll of the mattress and land at the humans feet.

"Dwayne?! what are you doing in here?!" exclaimed the awoken Zebra as she tried to hide her semi-naked self from him.

"Morning racing stripes, didn't you forget that I said I'd wake you this morning? now come on we've only got quarter of an 'our left before the bear from the south pole comes along so get ya' shit together, come on hustle hustle".

"I'm going to hate you for this aren't I?" she said as she wiped her tired eyes, still to sleepy to process thing properly and remember she was half naked.

"Oh yes, yes you will and everyday after this, now come on, I managed to get a shower earlier but you ain't got time, so just get dressed and be ready out in five, then we'll get to see what our D-I has in store". he ushered her as he walked out her room to go back to his next door and make his bed.

Dwayne and Isabella stood outside their respected bedrooms at attention, waiting for the drill instructor to come along and wreck havoc on the rest of the recruits who were still asleep in the beds, Dwayne had quickly shown Bella how to stand at attention more properly as they waited for Fuchsia.

Not five minutes later, the lights in the hallway flickered on and in stepped the polar bear herself followed by four burly tigers all dressed in black at her back, no doubt here to give us recruits a warm welcome.

"Well, it seems some animals actually took my warning of be awake at the time I said, you two, go wait in the middle of the running track whilst we go give your fellow officers in training a proper ZPD wake up call.

"Sir yes sir" they both said before they both began jogging down the corridor to head outside.

"You owe me there stripes" Dwayne joked as he body checked Bella in the side as they jogged down the halls.

"Okay I'll give you that one, and don't call me stripes, wonder boy".

"Hehe as long you don't call me that, I'm thirty five not eighteen".

"Yeah and I'm not twenty two".

"Oh shurrup and keep jogging" he retorted as they kept up their playful banter as they reached the jogging track, they decided that as they waited for the rest of the recruits to show to do some warm-ups and get themselves limbered up and ready to go, luckily they didn't have to wait long as they saw the other recruits running half asleep in a single being shouted by the female polar at the top of her lungs.

"Okay recruits get in line, since the only two who were actually awake when I told you all to be were Copperson and Hoofensands here, they get to keep there lunch break today, the rest of you on the other paw are gonna have to pull the claws out of your fuzzy rears if you are gonna survive here and pass these next few months, so consider yourselves lunch-less with twenty five extra laps around the track instead when we finish with this mornings practise.

"Don't look smug Bella, it'll only just piss them off more" Dwayne leaned over and whispered with Bella giving him a silent look of agreement in return.

"Okay, now that we are all bushy tailed and kicking, lets get to today, so you all want to be officers of the law of Zootopia, well you've all got a long way to, you've got to master all of the cities district environments, hazards, threats and laws before you hit the streets as keepers of the peace and law, but for now, you all need to be up to a basic level of fitness that is befitting of an officer that can do his or her job in the first place so first things first, is twenty laps, NOW GET TO IT!".

"SIR YES SIR" they all said still sloppily as they all took off to start there laps, the pred's all sprinting off ahead with the rhino, hippo and goat slowly bounding along after them, the human and zebra duo though we're taking there time.

"Okay Bella, the trick to running is taking your time, try and keep an inside beat going and sometimes switch it up a little, remember to breath in through the nose and out the mouth and try to most save your strength for one final burst on the last stretch, you think you can keep up with that?".

"No problem partner". she said with a smile through huff's and puff's of heavy breathing.

"That's it, and if you can talk and jog at the same time then you aren't tired, unlike the rest of them, they made the wrong moves, so lets show them some endurance".

"You got it!" The duo continued gently jogging side by side as they made lap after lap with barely breaking a sweet, to Dwayne's surprise Isabella managed to keep up with him the entire time only falling back slightly a few times before eventually pulling back up to his side again, they noticed that the other trainees where either on their knees or had resorted to walking after the first couple of laps due to trying to get them done as quick as possible, these guys were really not making this easy for themselves never mind the drill instructor doing them in.

It had only taken the human and Zebra parter duo half and hour to complete their laps, so they ended up doing some more stretches and different exercises by the side of the track as they had to wait for the rest of them complete there own laps.

"My god... this... is... a joke" grunted Dwayne as he did some push-ups, stopping briefly to remove his vest after it became somewhat drenched in sweat, Bella was doing some sit ups next to him, he finished his last set before pushing himself to his feet and stretched his arm out, cracking his spine and draping his shirt around his neck.

"Here we are, waiting for these guys to do some piss easy laps around when we could probably be doing other things" he looked over to the track and watched as the D-I was shouting and bawling at the others to hustle along no matter how much their bodies protested, the two sat together and took steady drinks from the provided water bottles as they waited another ten minutes for them to finally finish.

"YOU ANIMALS ARE A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGRACE!" Ranted the D-I, "You couldn't even handle that measly little lap run and now look at you, panting breathing messes, if you don't start pulling it together now you won't make it to the end of today never mind next week, Copperson, Hoofensands, you two are exempt from this so far, but don't let it get to you just yet".

Three hours and a seemingly unknown amount of push ups, pull ups, sit up, star jumps and other body breaking exercises later, the recruits were given a short break, Dwayne had to agree with himself that this was the first time since his arrival in Zootopia that he had felt genuinely worn out, but with the routines he had been doing for the past two weeks and the constant exercise he had done back home had helped prepare him for this, but he remembered that his first day of basic in the army was much worse than this and let out a chuckle at the thought.

"Something funny?" berated the zebra next to him.

"Yeah, this may be our first day and already I'm tired, but my first day of basic back in the army was much worse than this" he retorted, Bella was about to ask further but the instructor spoke up before she could.

"Okay recruits, since most of you have done so poorly today it's only befitting that all need to be punished!" Fuchsia spouted out then moved over to talk with one of her tiger assistants, Bella looked she was about to protest forward through her rapid breathing but Dwayne put his arm in front of her, shaking his head, she grudgingly backed down.

"Trust me Bella" was all he needed to say, he turned back to see the polar bear instructor walking back to them.

"All of you get up follow me, if you thought this was bad, this next course will either break you or make you all wake up" she said as she turned and lead the way, Dwayne and Isabella looked at each other and simply nodded to one another before following the polar bear with the other recruits tailing them.

"Well, this got interesting" Dwayne voiced as he spotted where they were being lead to, Bella's eyes had widened when she saw it too and the same went for the rest of them.

"Welcome to the Tundra weather training course, for the next hour you are gonna run this entire course, that is if you don't give up first so we can sort the drop outs from the ones with potential, you will not be told what to do at each obstacle as that will be up to you work out, this will test your decision thinking when in an extreme cold environment, OKAY RECRUITS LINE UP AND GET READY!" she shouted as she held up a fluffy white paw.

The ten of them moved quickly to the starting line and faced the giant ice wall that lay ahead of them as the first obstacle blocking the rest of the course.

"Bella, wait here at the start with me when were set lose, there's no doubt were gonna need to work together on this, trust me I have an idea for this bit" he whispered to her as they waited on the instructors go.

"GET READY CADETS!... GO!"

~ Dwayne Pov ~

"Go!"

Me and Isabella stood firm as the others thundered past us, jumping the small pool of freezing water and trying to latch onto the near solid ice wall.

"Okay Isabella here's the plan, you see the animals who are using their claws to dig into the ice? they make small holes that we can use as places to climb up with, but there's now way I hit the ice to break it further for us to climb, so you sit on my soldiers and use your hooves to make hole grips and I lift us up together" I spoke quickly.

"What?!" she exclaimed.

"Trust me partner, it'll work so come on lets ace this bitch quicker we work together quicker we get this done".

"Okay...okay I trust you, lets go!".

"That's the spirit".

We both rushed up to the wall just stopping at the edge of the small hole of water, I carefully leaned forward and placed my hands on the wall and bug my boots into the ground as best as possible, I had picked the spot where the Tiger had climbed up from as he made some bigger indents in the ice making it easier for Isabella.

"Just climb over me Bella and starting hitting the ice and we'll take it slow moving up".

"Okay, hold still" I could feel her clamber over my legs and place her hooves into the small of my back she promptly and awkwardly sat her self on my shoulders and jabbed her hoof/paws at the indents where the tiger had made making them bigger for me to grab into, simple, rinse and repeat, we slowly and carefully scaled up the ice wall as we passed the Rhino and hippo who were on either side of us struggling to get past the half way point.

"Almost there Bella, when you get to the top just swing yourself over and slide down and I'll follow" I heard her grunt in acknowledgement as she bashed the ice wall again making another handhold, a few more slow steps up and a gave her the push to swing her legs over my head and slide down the other side, I climbed up the last few hand holds nearly slipping on the last one before swinging myself over and combat rolling in the snow as I landed.

"Good job, keep going" I encouraged her as we sprinted to the next section, which was a rope swing that hung over a lengthy pool of freezing water, yeah it did not look inviting and I had no intention of ending up in there, my fingers where already cold from holding onto the ice wall but all the running around was keeping my body temperature up.

"Okay Bella I'll swing across first and wait on the other side".

"But what if I don't jump far enough or at the right time?" she shot back through cold breaths.

"Then I'll catch you" I grinned as I turned and sprinted at the rope, my boots somewhat slipping in the snow, I reached the end of the platform and reached out as I jumped for the rope, catching the swinging rope I put all my body weight into my swing and let go as I reached the end of the arc, landing and skidding down the other ramp a few feet before coming back and grabbing the rope ready to throw it to my partner.

"Come on Bella, just run and grab the rope as I throw it and put your weight in as you swing and I'll catch you, come on I know you can do it".

The zebra hesitated and closed her eyes for a second before opening them again revealing her now confident blue eyes and running up the ramp. as she jumped I throw the rope her way and caught it, reacting quickly I held my arms out to grab her as she let go and we both skidded down the ramp from our collision.

"Bloody amazing Bella".

"Thanks for catching me".

"No problem, come on we've still got a ways to go".

~ One Hour Later ~

Fuchsia, was amazed, even more so amazed than when she was drilling away at that bunny rabbit recruit she had not so long ago, back then she had thought she had seen it all, but what she had just watched for the last hour had taken it's top place in wondrous things she had witnessed, the zebra and human had been working together the entire time they had run the Tundra course, most of the time when she had recruits run environmental courses they either did them solo or sometimes a few would pair up for a some of obstacles, but these two helped each other with everything.

Literally every obstacle they came up against, they stopped, analysed it, watched to see what the others did or attempted it themselves and helped each other overcome it, and they did the course three times doing the same techniques they devised to overcome them, and each time they did it they passed it better and quicker.

There was no doubt that these two were going to be inseparable and really good partners if they kept this up, but these two like the rest still had a long way to go, the other recruits though had gone solo as they attempted the course, even the wolf brothers who she thought would've worked together ended up making it a competition between each other, which only ended up with them failing half of the obstacle courses

These recruits weren't going to get anywhere unless they could learn to work together.

"Okay recruits fall in" Fuchsia bellowed as they all lined up.

"Whilst you all may have completed the course, with some dryer than others, you were all still slow and pathetic, as for you Copperson, Hoofensands, you two did the best out all of the lot of you, the rest of you need to take some tips from this pair as they actually helped each other overcome the course, and if you can't do that here then you wont be able to pass this academy and play in the real world, you two are free to go for your lunch hour but I expect you to be showered and changed into your uniforms and ready for the first class by the end of the lunch break, do I make myself clear!?"

"Sir yes sir!" the human zebra pair replied, as they took of towards the academy buildings in a slow jog.

"Good, and as for the rest of you, I expect these laps to be completed by twelve thirty, then you can get showered and changed also and ready for afternoon classes, you failures get me?!"

Sir yes sir!" they all replied albeit exhausted.

"THEN GET GOING I WANT TO THOSE FURRY LEGS MOVE!".

Dwayne and Isabella where just out of earshot as they heard the polar bark her orders before they reached the main building, and heading for there respected rooms to grab the clothes they needed to change into before heading into the shower rooms.

Since they were the only ones currently present they had a little more privacy so they could get changed and showered on either side of the rooms with a short wall between them.

"I think we did rather well for our first morning together there stripes" Dwayne commented as he turned on the shower head and wetting his slightly aching body.

"I should say the same, but the reason we did was all on you wonder boy" she answered with sarcasm lingering on the name calling.

"So that's what were going with? better change your mind or get used to it for the next few months there" he mockingly answered back whilst washing his hair.

"Looks to me like it unavoidable wonder boy, but still I meant what I said, you got us through of that course".

"It wasn't all me, you were the one who pointed out the iceberg stepping bridge trap and the Icicle pole".

"True, but you came up with getting over the ice wall in the first place and helped me get through the water tunnel".

"Okay lets agree to disagree, we both did well and if we keep this up hopefully we won't go mental by the end of all this".

"I can live with that".

"Hehe too bloody right, lets finish up here and gets some grub".

"Sure thing partner".

"Haha that's gonna get old fast".

They finished there quick showers and stepped into the locker area with towels around them, Bella had another towel wrapped around her flowing wet name as she grabbed the clean clothes from her locker, she turned around to see Dwayne already in his boxers, seemingly not caring that she was half naked, or that he either didn't notice.

"Dwayne, could you turn around for me please just so I can get my underwear on please?" she asked politely.

"Oh sorry, sure yeah". he replied casually as he pulled on his second sock.

"You make it sound like you don't care that I'm practically naked next to you right?".

"Oh I noticed, but can I tell you something?" he answered as he turned around at her request.

"Sure".

"I may have been here a month or so now, but this place still confuses me, because back home where I come from, humanity are the only living things who really wear clothes and talk and think like you do now, I've read briefly on this worlds history that everything used to be different thousands of years ago and there was a big evolutionary change where animals of all kinds evolved and changed to the way they are now, but on earth its not like that" He took a breath before continuing as he slid his shirt on noticing it was a little too form fitting.

"Humans live in cities and houses, humans make music and art and have taboo's and laws, make crimes and cause wars, others animals don't, what I mean in all this is that when I came here, this place really fucked with my reality on things, because I'm used to seeing animals the way they are on earth, and I'm used to human laws and the like, so right now seeing a zebra like your fine self wearing clothes is a little funny to me, in time I'll probably adjust and so on but right now it's just something I see as a little off but I need accept it if I'm going to get along here".

Bella listened to his words as she finished pulling up her trousers and buttoned up her shirt, she looked in the small mirror on the inside of her locker door as she took a look at herself, her mane was still wet but she didn't feel like drying it off herself she so let it be.

"Hey does this shirt look a little small to you?" Dwayne questioned as he sorted out the dark navy blue tie around his neck, Bella turned round from overlooking herself and in all honesty, she was impressed, Dwayne was had his uniform on down to his black Army boots and he looked as if he'd worn it all his life, she guessed because of his army experience he knew how to dress himself properly, but to answer his question though, yes the shirt was a little form fitting, very much so that she could see the muscles of his arms through his shirt very easily and the same went for his chest, there was no denying that he was a very fit and strong individual.

But he wasn't a zebra, or an animal of Zootopia for that matter, so why did her cheeks feel a little warm for some reason, turning her head away she saw a very light blush on her cheeks in the mirror, realising that she had been looking a him for too long and hadn't answered him yet either.

"erm... y-yes you could say that somewhat, you might want to do something about it".

"Hm you maybe right, It's a little tight across the chest but it'll do for me" he answered not seeing her small stuttering as he straitened his tie, and zipped his fly up.

"Right, I'm ready to go, you done there stripes?"

Yup, just about, just let me lock up".

"Aight".

When they were all dressed and ready, the pair started heading to the mess hall, they got there respective meals and sat down at the same table they did yesterday and just talked about anything as they also laughed at the inexpense of the other running outside.

"Haha did that really happen?" Bella laughed at the story Dwayne was telling her.

"Yeah and this was before everything went tits up, you see I had my passport since I was like twenty or sommat' and it was due for a renewal before we went of to my first tour in Iraq, and the high ups said that if anyone's got like two or three years on there passports left has got to get their photo's redone, so they shouted me up and my boss had me old passport in hand there like Copperson right fucking hell fire whats going off with this picture you look like a crack 'ead" Bella couldn't hold back her laughs as Dwayne continued.

"So I says to him but aw sir, paisley were in back then sir, and he was like fuckin hell you are going, like you are going in the spangly cupboard and your gonna re-enact that picture and I want exactly the same for this new one, and I shit you not all the lads at the time were like great, so I was like spangled up so I got this big fake fur coat on, got my paisley fucking shirt on, greased me hair up in a side partin' and they were like that's it, and I had to walk through this fucking Tesco's shop with them in uniform and me in this basterd fucking fur coat, felt like a fucking spy movie villain walking around shop floor like a twat with everyone looking at me and the lads laughing".

Isabella couldn't hold back her braying and laughing any more as she tried to imagine what he must of looked like in the get up he described, Dwayne couldn't hold back either as he remembered the embarrassment from that day and laughs he had with the lads later made him chuckle heartedly at the memory.

"Oh my goodness, I could never imagine myself doing something like that, I wouldn't show my muzzle again after that".

"Well it was all just a bit of banter and laughs, we had a good Thursday night out though before he eventually shipped out of the rain to the heat, but fun times non the less" he commented as he took another bit of his sandwich, he checked the time on the watch on his wrist noticing that they had to go in the next five minutes.

"Heh, anyways lets finish up, we got classes to go to, god this is gonna take me back to my school days". he said as they both finished of there meals and dumped their trays on the wash rack, walking at a brisk pace with books in there arms, they reached the classroom where they supposed to be, nodding to each other they walked into the empty classroom and sat down at a pair of desks next to each other.

They only had to wait five more minutes before an elephant dressed up like he was from the sixties stepped into the room and walked towards the front of the room.

"Hmm only the two of you? I thought I was supposed to have ten new recruits for this selection?" he asked with a droning voice as he eyed the pair, Dwayne pointed his thumb towards the door.

"Probably still dying on the track outside, that or there in the head getting changed".

"I see, well, you two may as well get started, pull out the basic police academy book volume one at the first page and we can get introductions done and sorted" he droned on again like he really didn't want to work here, like he'd seen it all and just continued to work here because the pay was good, Dwayne couldn't help but let out a small chuckle to himself.

"Something funny mister..." the teacher looked at his register with the names and picture on it "Copperson is it?...".

"Nothing, It's just you remind me of my years seven maths teacher when I first started secondary school".

"Oh really? Do I now?".

"Yeah, I hated that woman..." the amount of sarcasm that was dropped in that sentence could've cracked the teachers tusks, Isabella had to hold a hoof/paw over her mouth as she couldn't help herself from laughing.

Oh yeah, these next few months were going to be 'fun'.

~ 6 Hours Later ~

Dwayne really feel as though he had gone back to school all over again, fours hours of different lessons and already his head felt heavy, learning to be a police officer was going to screw with a lot of things he already knew, he had done a lot of things in life, he was a farmhand on his parents estate, he worked small part time jobs to make his own money, he travelled around the world for a year and met some amazing people and did amazing things.

But his heart, body and mind belonged to the army, it had shaped him, twisted him, melted him down forged him into the man he was today, he spoke like as soldier, we acted as a soldier, and his mind worked like a soldier, whenever he was back home after a tour, every noise felt alien to him, it changed him being over 'there' and some days he wondered if he was still himself.

Being a police officer was going to be different, and he hoped it would be the good different, he could adapt to change, he had too, this was his new life now and he wasn't going to waste it, he remembered that his dad told him that if there ever was an opportunity to do something good with his life take it, and if helps people at the same time it helped him then it would be even better, and helping his new partner was good enough for him to live up to his fathers words.

He kept his fathers words in his head and it motivated him to to press on through the rest of the day, even though the bookwork was much to be desired, four hours of beginning to learn new things had left him mentally drained but not physically, which was why he was ever grateful for another two hours of PT on the track and the tundra course.

Again the zebra human duo worked together, running together and falling down together, but it didn't stop them, they kept going until Fuchsia told they were done for the day.

"Day one down stripes" he said to he partner as they both lay on there backs next to each other, Dwayne panting slightly with Bella breathing heavily

"And plenty more to go".

"You said it, but if we keep at it together, we'll get it down" he raised his hand up motioning towards her.

"Together, partner" she grinned tiredly as she took his hand.

'I'll get you through Bella, for both our sakes, even if this name calling gets old fucking fast'.

The new recruits were dismissed for the evening, allowed to finally rest, get themselves some dinner and then retire to their rooms, Dwayne entered his room after wishing goodnight to Isabella next door, he closed the door behind him and promptly dropped down onto his bed, he desperately wanted to sleep, but he had as small promise to keep, grabbing his phone of the night stand, he began dialling the number of a certain bunny friend of his.

"Dwayne, nick it's Dwayne! he's on the phone, hold on I'm putting you speaker" came the ever joyful and charismatic voice that belonged to Judy Hopps.

"So Dwayne, was your first day on the rodeo?" came nicks voice from the other end.

"Bloody peachy, bloody tired too".

"I'm guessing Fuchsia didn't let up on you huh?" Nick asked.

"Nope, while that polar bear is talkative to the rest of my fellow officers in training, she doesn't have anything on my instructor, at least I've already seemed to have gained another ally to the cause haha"

"You made another friend? that's great news! who?" Judy all but demanded to know.

"A zebra called Isabella, she's from Savannah square, and we've agreed to be partners, and Jesus was it a farce today".

"It's not easy is it my tall friend".

"I've gone though worse nick, tomorrow is just another day, it's what you do that makes it worth it".

"Some wise words, should use them on Bogo when he has another fit" the sound of someone being slapped echoed down the call.

"Carrots we've talked about the hitting".

"Yeah but you still don't listen do you, anyways, we've got to go anyways Dwayne, the chief's put us on a small case that needs doing now, so we've got to go".

"That's fine short stuff, I'm about to hit the sack for the night anyways, this new schedule is already going to be killer".

"Okay, you'll call us tomorrow right?".

"I will if I can Judy, alright, night guys, take care now yeah?".

"Don't worry, we will, night night recruit". nick finished, Dwayne knew he had that stupid grin on his face as he always did.

"G'night to you too fuck-nut". and he pressed the button to end the call. finally able to get some much needed rest.

1 day down, god knows how many to go.

A/N My god this chapter was by far the hardest to right, I've had to redo it three times now and I think this is the best I can make it, I'm going to have to redo it or retouch it again at a later date but for now it's going to stay, sorry if it isn't up to your expectations as readers and to the story itself but this entire thing just kept throwing me on and off, hopefully when I get more time and have a clearer head I'll make this thing better.

Sorry for any internal cringe I may have caused, but I wanted to get this one out of the way and move the story on more, I knew that this little story arc would be hard for me to write so im attacking it the best I can to get to some of the better stuff I have planned.

So please as always feedback is appreciated (yeah I can see where this will go already)

And thanks for reading and sticking with me through this god awful chapter. and onto the next one, where hopefully it will be better than this crap I've just spent the majority of today doing.

Gaz.
