6:20 PM Saturday
After they all got out of the two pickup trucks. Stu, Nick and Jack carried all of the luggage inside the house.
Lumine was greeted by a mob of bunny kits his age and was soon out of his moms sight.
Bonnie and Stacy headed to the house to prepare dinner for the family. As they shared stories and cooking ideas.
Judy and Skye were left alone to talk and catch up. There was an awkward silence between the two for a moment until Skye said, "Judy I want to apologize to you. I know it's been years since we said a single word to each other and it's pretty much my fault."
Judy sighed as she responded, "Skye it's not all your fault. Yes, you did fuck my last boyfriend, but let's be real. I was more focused on being a cop. Then being with that silly old buck anyways. So how did you meet Nick's brother Jack?"
"We met when I was first assigned to MIB. He was a player back when we met, but I fixed him good. After I talked to mom of course and you know dad, he flipped out about the whole thing. Saying why couldn't I find a nice tod to settle down with instead of some hot shot buck." Skye explained.
"But enough about me. I never knew you were into tods like that. Especially after that incident with Gideon Grey all those years ago. So how did you and Nick meet?" Skye asked as she looked at her sister.
" I met Nick when I was working on the nighthowler case. He conned me into buying him a jumbo pop. Playing the poor dad role as his friend Finnick was playing the role of his son. So after I saw him in a picture of the Otter I was looking for. I conned him into helping me out on the case. If I wouldn't take him to jail for tax evasion. Now that sly fox is the love of my life." Judy told Skye as she laughed.
" Wow, talking about sly fox. Judy I think they need to put your picture there instead." Skye laughed, then asked, "So what about Lumine? I heard from the chief, he told you two to keep an eye on him, but what happens to him when this is over with?"
Judy didn't hesitate with her response, "Lumine is my pup and will stay my pup. But what are we going to do about dad?"
"Oh, nothing at all. Jack's last name might be Savage, but after meeting Stacy today. I know that buck of mine is a Wilde at heart and plus Nick doesn't look like a push over either." Skye replied as the girls laughed together.
Lumine was getting tired of being around so many bunnies at one time. So as he played a game of hide and seek. The pup slipped into the house unseen. Looking for a room where he could be alone.
Running through the hallways of the house. Using his nose, he stopped in front of a door with only one bunny scent coming from it. Slipping inside the room Lumine was met by a black bunny wearing glasses and a blue shirt. And a white stripe under its chin that went down the bunnies chest.
"Hi, my name is Lumine. Sorry for barging into your room like this, but I had to get away from them. I was getting overwhelmed by them all. You have way too many brothers and sisters." Lumine said.
"I understand that's why I'm in here by myself. Plus, they call me names and won't play with me either. By the way my name is Michael" the bunny said as he extended his paw to shake before walking over to his desk.
The boys shook paws as Lumine's curiosity took over as he followed Michael over to his desk to see what he was doing. Getting to the desk Lumine saw pages and pages of all kinds of math and science.
" What grade are you in Lumine?" Michael asked while looking at the coyote.
Lumine hung his head as he replied, "I never, been to school?"
Michael took Lumine by his arm and sat him down at his desk. Finding the only math paper he had left. Placing it in front of Lumine.
"Does my big sister Judy know you have never been to school before?" Michael asked looking very concern.
"No, it was never mentioned or asked because" Lumine went silent, not wanting to share the real reason why they were in the Burrows.
"That's ok, you don't have to explain. But I can teach you if you like?" Michael asked.
Lumine had a genuine smile on his muzzle as Michael started to go over the division problems.
Nick and Jack followed Stu as they went down several hallways. Until they came to the rooms where they could put the luggage away.
Nick looked over at Stu as he asked, "What's on your mind papa Hopps?"
Stu stopped walking as he responded, "I just don't get my daughters. They can't stay with their own species. I mean Jack your a bunny and Nick here is a fox. I just don't understand those two."
"Don't take this the wrong way Mr Hopps, but I have been with my fair share of doe's. And I know my brother had some vixens in the past, but we love who we are with and would never change our minds." Jack said as he thought about his mate Skye.
Stu listened but wasn't really convinced as he thought of a plan to change their minds.
Nick pulled out his phone and sent Jack a text. "Hey, watch out this bunny has a plan to split us all up!"
Jack pulled out his phone and read the text. After reading it, he just nodded his head as they all continued walking down the hallway to go meet the girls.
The two boys had been in the room for about 2 hours straight. And Michael was very impressed with how fast Lumine was catching on to the math and science work. After showing him just one time.
"You're really smart Lumine. Considering you have never been to school. How old are you anyway?" Michael asked as he looked over the math paper.
"I'm 5. Why?" Lumine asked back while still doing the science paper.
Michael eyes went wide. As he stopped looking over the paper and looked at Lumine.
" That's incredible! Because when I was 5 I was just learning how to add and subtract. But in this short time you picked up on division like it was a piece of cake. You're on a totally different playing field that most kits your age are on. I'm 7 and the smartest bunny in my 4th grade class." Michael said as he ran to his closet to get out a test booklet his teacher gave him to study.
Finding the book Michael said, "My teacher gave me this book to read and work on in my free time."
Showing the book to Lumine. On the cover of the book it reads "1st through 12th grade advance study unit."
Michael flipped through the book until he stopped on the page for 7th graders. Taking out a few different subjects like math, science and world history. He placed them in front of Lumine as he said, "This may be a little harder for you to do on your own, but I'm curious to see how smart you really are."
Lumine looked at the papers in front of him before he replied, "Okay."
Michael took a seat on his bed and waited for Lumine to finish them all.
After Nick and Jack met back up with their mates. Judy had a great idea that she and Skye could show the boys around the Burrows to kill some time.
Showing Nick and Jack around, the Burrows was fun for the girls. Being city boys, Nick and Jack were amazed by the sights and sounds of the country. Nick loved the peace and quiet, he would never get in the city.
Jack on the other paw loved the scenery and opened fields. Even though his job had him traveling around a lot. It was like the boys found their own piece of Heaven out there.
As it started to get late. Nick said, "Well guys, it's been great being out here, but I think it's time we headed back. I know Lumine must be wondering where we slipped off to."
"Yeah, plus dealing with our brothers and sisters all day. Would drive any mammal to the brink of committing suicide." Skye chimed in as Judy laughed.
"Or his eyes could turn deep red-" Nick commented before he grabbed his bunnies paw.
Jack thought back to the sparring match with Lumine as he said, "Let's hurry. If we're lucky we might have to dig only a few graves"
Michael was sitting on his bed for about 15 minutes. When Lumine looked over and said, "Michael I'm finished."
The bunny hopped off his bed and walked over to the desk. Looking at the papers he said, "Let's go see if we can find my mom or sister Judy to see if this is correct."
The boys walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen. Bonnie and Stacy were sitting at the table talking when the boys showed up.
Michael asked, "Mom, can you or Ms Wilde look over these papers and tell us if they're right?"
The two females looked the papers over before Stacy asked, "which one of you did this work?"
Michael proudly said, "Lumine!"
Bonnie and Stacy had wide eyes as they looked between the papers and Lumine. Then Bonnie asked, "Lumine have you ever been to school before?"
"No, never got the chance to go." He replied in a sad tone.
Stacy piped in saying, "You could have fooled me all of these answers are correct. Wait until your mom and dad see this. Talking about smart wow, I think you're going to give your parents a run for their money."
"ok, you two Einsteins. Go have a seat in the living room. Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes." Bonnie said shewing the boys away.
Lumine and Michael sat on the couch talking amongst each other. When most of the Hopps kits came into the house. A teenaged bunny spoke up, "hey Lumine haven't seen you all afternoon. Oh, you've been hanging out with that fruit cake haven't you?"
"Don't call me that!" Michael shouted.
Suddenly all the kits joined in. Singing, "Michael the fruit cake, Michael the fruit cake!"
Michael got off the couch with tears in his eyes getting ready to run to his room. When Lumine quickly got off the couch and stood beside Michael as he grabbed his paw.
The sensation of Michael's anger and frustration fed the Pharaoh wolf like an all you can eat buffet.
Lumine eyes quickly turned deep red as his tail violently struck the floor. The group of kits, all suddenly stop singing as they witness Lumine's eyes change. Their noses all started twitching as they saw his tail hit the floor with such force. Every bunny in the living room, took a step back.
As Nick and Judy walked into the house they suddenly heard Lumine's tail hit the floor with such force. The duo ran to the living room as Bonnie and Stacy showed up there as well.
They all looked at the crowd of kits and then at Lumine. Who was holding onto Michael's paw as his tail struck the floor again.
"Have you all been making fun of Michael again?" Bonnie asked in an angry tone.
"Mom it isn't our fault that Michael's a fruit cake. Who checks out buck butts all day." The teenage bunny replied with such anger in his voice.
Skye, Jack and Stu came into the house after hearing Bonnie's angry voice. Making it to the living room just in time to hear the teenage bucks response to the question.
Lumine heard enough from this buck as his body grew in mass. Letting go of Michael's paw as he charged at the buck. Nick and Jack had no time to think as they both simultaneously charged in at the enraged coyote pup.
The bucks face turned ghost white as he witnesses Lumine true agility and speed. Nick made it there just in time to step in front of the buck as Jack kicked Lumine out of the closest window.
The house stayed silence for a second before Nick said in an aggravated tone, "Jack let's go this is far from over."
