This is the 10th chapter of the story that makes a good nascent existence. As this month is now on it's routes, I'm preparing for my awaited 17th birthday. I can't really wait for it to come. Anyway, here's the new chapter, everyone!

Chapter 10 - The Graduation Speech

As pronounced, Splero found Chief Bogo near the stage.

"Sir, it's time." - Splero reminded -

"For what?" - Bogo asked -

"For my graduation speech. Officer Clawhauser told me that you're awaiting for it to happen." - Splero answered -

"Oh, yes. Gladly indeed." - Bogo realized -

He clears his throat deeply.

"Right this way." - Bogo aided him -

Splero and Chief Bogo went on the stage and into the standing podium.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I wanted to get your attention, please." - Chief Bogo said -

The other ZPD attendants were being called for his attention.

"Thank you for the moment. I just really wanted to say that this graduation party is a good party that you will never forget in your lifetime." - Chief Bogo said -

The crowds applauded. Chief Bogo waved to the audience.

"Since this graduation will be the greatest party ever done since the success of Officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, I hope we could lend our very moment with the speech of our first ZPD human valedictorian. Please welcome our valedictorian...Officer Splero." - Chief Bogo introduced -

The ZPD crowds cheered and applauded as the First Colony Emperor/ZPD Vigilante stood on the podium.

"Hey, Carrots. This is it." - Nick reminded -

"Oh, yeah. His awaited speech!" - Judy realized -

Both of them took their seats. Michelle borrowed a chair and she sits as well. Splero tapped the microphone first right before he started on.

"Thanks for the introduction, sir. I'm deeply honored." - Splero thanked -

He then inhaled and exhaled before continuing.

"Everyone, I hope you guys were now enjoying this very party for today. This will be my greatest speech that I ever done since my first days here in the ZPD ranks." - Splero said -

Every ZPD attendant pay extra attention to him.

"I might be a male human that was also a colony emperor of a independent nation but I'm also a Zootopian daytime security guard that subsequently assisted the ZPD's two most known cops in apprehending a recent threat. Even though I accepted the risks imposed on it, I serve my former career for not only my very sake but for the sake of other Zootopians that were out there." - Splero said -

Nick, Judy and Michelle listened on as the valedictorian continued on further.

"If I'm not here, I would be so upset much. Why? Because I missed the moment of protecting the citizens of Zootopia with my very reasonable will and determination. As a new graduated ZPD officer and a former monarch, I will never going to abandon you all. A promise is a promise, I'll defend the Zootopian society with the great ZPD that I really trusted on for ever and ever." - Splero remarked -

The audiences cheered in joy. They all applauded to his words as Splero quickly bowed in front of the public. While still on their seats, Nick, Judy and Michelle smiled on his speech remarks.

"I think he will lead the ZPD to the best indeed." - Nick said -

"How could you say that?" - Judy asked -

"He's determined to serve with the ZPD throughout the adversities as he promised." - Nick answered -

"Oh, really?" - Judy teased -

"Of course, Carrots!" - Nick responded with a grin -

Nick and Judy then hear Michelle sighed with a great relief. With her hands on her chin and elbows on the table, her eyes were all glued to Splero. Even at a distance, she could gaze on him in a infatuated manner.

"Miss Michelle, are you alright?" - Judy asked -

Michelle nodded.

"I'm good, Officer Judy. I'm just looking at him." - Michelle replied -

She then sighed with relief as she gazes on Splero further. A smile was formed on her very face. Nick noticed her.

"I think she's in love with him, Judes." - Nick whispered -

"Yeah. It looks like it was." - Judy whispered back -

This is the end of Chapter 10. Looks like that Michelle is now falling in love with my OC. I'm jealous with it, though. I guess Splero's way more charismatic than I do. *Snickers* Anyway, please stay tuned for the 11th Chapter in a few days, guys!
