Chapter 38
Aurora POV
lukaz0016 thank you, for adding my story to your favorites. wolf427 thank you, for following and adding my story to your favorites
I always liked to play soccer. It was the first sport I found about. The home has a lot of soccer balls. A good number of kids and teens to play the game. I used to watch the play and enjoyed it. They started to let me join in. Since we are in the same boat. We were treated like foster kids. So we stick together. Most don't care that I'm a fox or a hybrid. We have fun with each other. Some are gone and there are new kids. I have met them. Madeline Chavez is busy working inside the house. Bonnie told me she knows everything. She told her that and I'm glad that she did. We don't have to worry about that. I'll see her soon anyway. Spending some time with the kids and young teens from our home. Before Elvira and will head off to join our friends. Nick and Judy will join in the fun. Today is a cooler day and feels like fall. Wearing a silver sweater, midnight blue flannel shirt, and short gray pants.
We are having fun playing soccer. Just taking the time to enjoy ourselves. As the remaining summer days go by. Tomorrow late afternoon we will head back to Zootopia. Spending time here has been great. Having nothing to worry about. Other than last night. When I had another rough night. I don't even remember the nightmare I had. That happens when you have a night terror. Knowing that I told them last night. Not going to think about that right now. We have a game to finish and we are winning. This all for fun and winning doesn't matter. Looking over at Elvira and she's having a great time. Just like I'm having a great time. Soccer is fun to play and enjoyable to watch. A lot of mammals don't think like that. They think football is fun to watch. I find that rather boring. Watching the ball and running over to it. Elvira is right behind me. There are only a few more minutes to the game. Either we can win or they can still win. It is all for fun and everyone is having a fun time. It's something we all can do and have fun with it. Something to pass the time and not having to spend all day on tech. Like most kids do these days. Anyway, Ms. Chavez doesn't like it when we do. Saying there's more to life than technology.
"Let's go and win this game," Elvira said
"Alright let's do that," I say
Elvira runs up ahead and I run after her. So we can team up and take the ball. So our team can score another point. Both of us watch the ball. It's Jake who has the ball and he's getting close to our goal. Katie is the goalie and she's doing a great job. Only has let in a few goals. Watching Jake pass the ball to another teammate. He gets close to the goal and shoots. Katie gets it on top and stops the paw with her paws. Stopping in my tracks and she passes the ball to a teammate. We run with her and watch the ball closely. So the players don't get the ball. Having the chance to score. We run across the field and the ball is passed to teammates. We are getting close to their goal and only have a couple minutes to go. The game is really close and anyone can still win. Elvira has the ball on after a teammate passed it to her. We are close to their goal and we can score.
"Here you go," Elvira said
She passes the ball to me and I take it. Someone from the other team tries to get it and I don't let her. I'm too fast for her and running to the goal. Nellie is the goalie and has been doing good. We have been winning by a few points. Looking over at her and knowing the best way to score. So I shoot to the left and it enters the goal. The time is up and we have one the game Elvira heads over to me. We five paw each other. We have won the game.
"That was a great game, Elvira." I say "You did well."
"Thank you, Aurora and same for you," Elvira said
We congrats each other and everyone goes back to their own business. Looking over and see that Nick and Judy are here. Along with Barbara and an older woman who's an otter. I don't know who she is. Looks like she's friends with them. I know Barbara is moving to Zootopia. I heard about what happened to Everett. She's going to help her sister in law. So she doesn't have to raise her kids alone.
"Thanks and I wonder who's the otter they are talking to," I say
"I wonder as well," Elvira said
"Now that I think about I believe she's Mrs. Otterton. Nick and Judy found her husband." I say
They had told me about the Otterton's. They became good friends with each other. After they saved Emmitt Otterton. They have twin boys around my age. They also run a Garden shop. Like Gardener's run in Bunnyburrow. Knowing Barbara is going to start working there. Knowing that Katrina works there. I have met her a few times. Knowing she has a daughter and now three boys. Barbara will do a great job. She has done a great job with Lindsey. We walk over to them.
Looking over at Judy injured arm. I remember doing that so clearly. I can't forget something like that. I no longer feel guilty about what happened. Knowing it wasn't my fault. I would never hurt anyone on purpose. I'm not that type of mammal. She told me she was alright and has told me she has been hurt before. I know it's the truth.
"Hello, you two and that was a great game." Judy said, "This is our good friend Victoria Otterton."
"Thank you, and my name is Elvira and it's a pleasure to meet you," Elvira said
"Aurora Winters," I say
So I was right about that. I knew it was Mrs. Otterton. She's like they told me. Maybe someday I will meet Emmitt and their sons. Elvira head over to her and she begins to talk to her. See that Victoria likes talking to her. Elvira likes talking to her as well. It's a nice sight to see and puts a smile on my face. I'm happy for my friend.
"It's nice to meet you both." Victoria said, "I have been told that I'm just in time for Sleeping under the stars."
It is nice to meet her. Even those I'm being shy around her. She understands and hasn't done anything to set me off. It's not me being rude to her. Yes, that is tonight and we are going to have fun with that. It's basically camping for the night. So you can sleep under the stars. We are going do that in their backyard. They have a huge one and perfect for us. Sleeping under the millions of stars is great. You could never see that many stars in Zootopia. Too bad they can't see an amazing sight.
"Living in the country you get to see millions of stars." Barbara said, "I'm going to miss that sight once I move to Zootopia."
I do miss it as well. Just looking at the stars to relax. Just looking at the stars in the night sky does help out. Looking at them tells me despite all the bad there is always good. A light to shine in the darkness. Knowing there will always be light no matter what happens.
"I have missed it as well. It's going to be a great night." Judy said, "We will see you later. There is much more to see."
"See you later Judy," Barbara said, "Yes, there is more to see."
"See you later friends." Victoria said, "Can't wait to see more."
Watching Barbara and Victoria walk off. I can tell she's nice and that someday we can be friends. Knowing same for Emmitt Otterton and their sons. Elvira waves goodbye to them and has a smile on her face. She's going to join me. Along with Sadie, Sherri, Monica, and Aaron will join as well.
"Hello, Evie."
I do know that voice well. I was wondering when he was going to stop by. Turning around to see Jamie Foxx. My sort of friend it's hard to tell if were friends or not. Due to him playful teasing me. I'm trying to figure our relationship out. It's confusing and hard to figure out. He's tall as me and slender. Long ears and long pointed muzzle. Having white fur with speckles brown and black. Brown tip ears and black around his muzzle. Having gray paws and light blue eyes. Wearing a black sweater, a red tie-dye shirt, and jeans.
"Hello, Jamie," I say
I don't know what else to say. I can tell he's happy to see me. Because I see a smile on his face. I'm also happy to see him. He walks over to me and gives me a hug. It does feel really nice. Realizing now how much I missed him. Also seeing that he missed me as well.
"Hello there Jamie." Nick said, "Are you one of Kiddo's friends?"
"He's a friend of mine." I say "Do you want to join us?
Jamie looks over at me and smiles. I guess we are friends after all. He does like being around me. We have been through the same thing. His father was abusive. Just like they were to me. He's in prison where he belongs. They moved over to Zootopia to get away from him. Makes me wonder if they would ever move back to Zootopia. Since he's in prison for life. I don't know if they have been talking about it. He loves playing spies and it would be fun to have him join.
"Yes, we are friends and sounds like a lot of fun," Jamie said
Then it's settled and he will be joining in our game. We are going to have a lot of fun with that. Always having a good time with my friends. Spending time with Nick and Judy is a lot of fun as well. They are great to hang out with. Together we walk back to the Hopps house.
We are inside our base. Waiting for our next mission. Making sure that the world stays safe from the bad guys. Who are trying to take over the world. We won't let that happen. Sitting on a chair and sketching. Always finding the time to do that. So I can sharpen my skills and it does help out. Also, art helps out me out. Wondering what our next mission will be. Making sure that the world doesn't get taken over. They never give up and either will we. Always being there to save the world. No one really knows that we did. What we do is a secret.
"I wonder who's will try to take over the world next." Elvira said, "We have met a lot of them."
Elvira is an older agent and a very good one. She has been doing this for longer than I have. So she has seen a lot of different bad guys trying to take over the world. There have been a few times that they have been close but we beat them in the end. Also looking to our medic trainee and her name is Lindsey. She's a rabbit and a good friend of mine. Her mentor is older rabbit named Kelli. She's one the best medics.
"One of the worst some can do is create a plague." Kelli said, "That would cause a panic and spread like wildfire. Killing a lot of mammals. Not just because of the disease. But all the troubles that would come with it."
"I wouldn't like that." Lindsey said, "I'm still learning medical stuff."
I'm so glad that we don't have to face some like that. So far something like that is fiction and only in books, movies, and video games. Knowing it would be very bad and hard to control and stop. That would truly destroy the world. More than likely the bad guy would win that. Taking over the world but destroying most of it. Only someone sick, crazy, cold-hearted mammal could do that.
"Someone who's crazy to do it," Sadie said
Sadie is a good friend of mine and we met during training. Same for her partner Sherri. They are great agents. I'm training a rookie agent. Jamie would be a good agent someday. Only if he would listen and not putting himself in danger. We all have to learn something. Hearing someone walk into the room. Seeing it's our boss Monica. She runs the whole program and does a great job with it. She's the reason the world stays safe.
"We have two new dangerous enemies to take down." Monica said, "They have been labeled a dangerous and they need to be taken down ASAP."
Putting down the sketchbook and focus on her. They do the same as well. We wonder who are the new enemies we have to take down. Making sure that the world stays safe. Whoever they're will take them down. It's our job and we do that best.
"So do we know who they are?" Jamie asked
"We are still trying to figure them out." Monica said, "Aaron has been trying to track them down."
Aaron is our computer guy and is great at what he does. Looking over at him and he's on his laptop. He works behind the scenes and helps us out that way. We couldn't do this without him. Watching him work so hard. Knowing he's trying to figure that out.
"Alright, I found the about their base and what they call themselves." Aaron said, "This what it looks like."
Looking up at the large computer and the information appears. Seeing the names Slick and Sly. It would be hard to tell who they are. There isn't a picture of them. Looking over at their base. To a normal eye, it looks like a normal place. To us, we know it's the perfect place for a hideout. So that no one would bug them. Planning out what they want to. So they can take over the world. We won't let that happen.
"So do we know how they are planning to take over the world?" Elvira asked
"We know it's something bad and mammals have gone missing." Monica said, "We have linked the missing mammals to them."
Another file appears and we look on the screen. There are eight missing mammals and we see that they are both predator and prey. Three predators and five prey. Knowing we will find them and set them free. Whatever they throw at us we will take care of it. We have done that before and will always do that. It's the job that we have.
"Then we should head out and stop them." Sadie said, "Before they get the chance to take over the world."
This is not the first time we have to go without truly knowing. It won't be the last either. It's the kind of job that we have to do. We have been trained to do our job without knowing what's going on. That makes us great spies. We can handle the unexpected very well. We should take care of them before they get too dangerous. Not truly knowing how they are taking over the world.
"I know you guys will do your job well," Monica said. "Take them in if you can and find out anything about them."
"We will do that boss." I say "Everyone lets head out."
Jamie heads over to me. I can tell that he's ready for this. I just hope that he doesn't overreact. That would put himself in danger. We don't know who were are facing and how they would react to us. I believe he understands that and will stand down. Until we are ready to react.
"This is so exciting," Jamie said
"Yes, I suppose it is." I say "Just remember to do your job."
"I know and I'm just so happy that I can save the world this way." Jamie said, "too bad that others know that we do. I do understand why."
All rookie spies feel like that. We saved the world and others so find out. That they should know that we are heroes. There are many reasons that they don't find out. First, that would put ourselves in danger and would put others as well. We don't want that to happen so we remain a secret. We head out to join the others. So we can find our way to the base.
"Alright agents I hacked into their system and they didn't find out." Aaron radioed "So you can get in and knowing that lay out of the base."
"Great job friend." I say "Now we just got to make sure there's no one around.
Turning off my radio. He's great at what he does. Using my binoculars and look ahead. We have broken apart and find different ways into the base. Jamie and I will take the vents. Since we could easily fit inside. Nothing has happened so far and that could be good or bad. The good is that they don't know that we are here. The bad we are falling into a trap. It could be either and we will be ready for both.
"Do you see anything?" Jamie asked
"I see nothing." I say "I find that really strange."
"It is strange and I will be careful," Jamie said
Putting my binoculars away and we to the base. Finding our way to the vents. Using a hook to make the cover fall. Climbing up and head inside. It only takes us a few minutes to do that. We find are way into the base. The or radios make the code. So we know that everyone is in the base. Making sure that we are careful and looking out bad guys. It's a few minutes before we spot a goon. Who's wearing all black and mask as well. He looks over at us and heads over to attack. Jamie takes him down and let's out a gasp moments later.
"What is it, Rookie?" I ask
"It's one of missing mammals," Jamie said, "and I attacked him."
Looking over at the mammal and he's right about that. He's one of the missing mammals. Jamie didn't hurt him too badly. He will wake up in a few hours. Why did he attack us? There are different reasons that he could. Something that we will find out later.
"You were doing your job." I say "He's only out cold and he will be fine."
"What are they planning?" Jamie asked
"I have no idea." I say "Let's head on to find them."
I don't have an idea about how they are going to take over the world. We will figure that out and one of us will figure it out. No bad guy has taken us down. We always find a way to beat them. Walking around the base. Trying to find a way and a few minutes later we find our way to this large room. They are here as well.
"We just found our way to this room." Sherri said, "Looks like this is the main room."
It truly does look like the main room. So we must have all found a way here. So this must be the trap. They will be appearing soon. Sadie heads over to the doors and we see that it's locked. I figured that it was a trapped and they see it as well. Hearing someone come up behind me and I try to take whoever down. Seeing that it's also a missing mammal. What is going on? She does know how to fight. I really don't want to hurt her.
"Please stop fighting. I won't hurt you." I say "We are here to save you."
She doesn't listen to me or can't listen. I don't know what's happening and we have to figure it out before it's too late. Before I can fight anymore the young woman takes me down. Knowing something is up. She shouldn't fight like this. It was like she could fight like a pro. Not saying she could but I find that highly unlikely. Seeing that they have been taken down as well. Something is up and I don't like it.
"Looks like our plan is working."
"We did come up with a great plan."
That must be the duo. I can tell it's a male and female. Looking up to see a red fox and a rabbit. I don't find that strange. There were once natural enemies and no longer are. Most rabbits and hares still don't like foxes. Just like mostly everyone hates foxes. Because of what they think to believe that we are only cunning and untrustworthy. He's wearing a short sleeve white shirt, a gray button-up vest, and gray pants. Also wearing a fedora. I suppose he's very stylish. Still, we have to take him down. She's wearing an all black outfit. Making her look like a bad guy and looks can be deceiving. Wearing a long sleeve black shirt and short black pants. Wearing black gloves and black things on her feet. Slick is the Red fox and Sly is the rabbit.
"What do you mean?" Jamie asked
What's their great plan for taking over the world? The both of them have big smiles on their faces. I find that very creepy. Still can't break free from her strong grip. Now truly knowing they did something to them. Whatever they are planning it is bad.
"Why would we tell you something like that?" Sly asked, "Do you think we are stupid?"
"Nope, we won't tell you." Slick said, "We are better than that."
"You will slip up just like every bad guy that we faced," Sherri said
So they won't go on a rant. Just like many bad guys we have face. They get caught up in what they do and tell about their plan. Looks like that won't happen with them. We have to figure this out. Still trying to break free. It's no use I can't break free. We must figure out a way to escape from them. So we can stop them from taking over the world.
"We heard about you great spies." Slick said, "So we knew we had to be careful."
"Great to figure out how to connected the kidnappings." Sly said, "So we know you will be worthy."
Worthy to what? I don't know what they are talking about. Looks like either does they. Something bad is going to happen. We can't let that happen. No matter what we do take the bad guys down. We knew what we had to do once we began spies.
"So what do you mean by that?" Sadie asked, "Or you won't let us that."
"The Red Wolf is right." Sly said, "We won't tell you a thing. Maybe you can figure it out."
She has this sly smile on her face. That must be one of the reasons she has that name. I don't like where this is going. We know that they have something bad planned out. Still trying to figure out a way out from her grip. So far I have nothing. Jamie trying to break free. I do like his determination. I have that as well. She has me in tight grip that it hurts.
"Take those two away. Just like we have the others." Slick said, "We will deal with them."
Seeing that Sadie and Sherri are taken away. They try to break free but can't. It's now or never. Jamie sees it as well. Together we can come up with a plan. Seeing that she lightens her grip. I find that very strange.
"What I'm I doing here?"
She has clearly spoken for the first time. I can hear the confusion in her voice. Looking up to see a dazed look in her silver eyes. So they did do something to them. Finally breaking free from her grip. She didn't want to do it. Beginning to understand what is happening.
"No, this can't be." Sly said, "We have to fix this."
"Don't worry I will." Slick said, "We will do this."
He takes out something. Looks like it's a control or something. Looking over at the girl and see that she becomes in the same state as before. This time I know what's going on and break away from her. Seeing that Jamie does as well.
"So it's mind control." I say "That isn't very original."
"Very good Kid and your half right." Slick said, "There's a chip that we placed inside them. That will control them whenever we tell the chip to do that."
"You two are truly evil," Jamie said
"Yes, you're truly evil and won't get away with this," I say
I find that very cruel and sicking. You would be fine one moment and the next being under someone else control. Unable to do anything about it. That's what they will do to us. We must not let that happen. Jamie and I see that they are under control. We are out numbered. This is bad for us.
"Why thank you, we want to make the world a better place in our own way." Sly said, "You two won't get in the way."
"Let's get out of here." I say "We have to run."
"Alright I got that," Jamie said
We start to run away. Sometimes we have to do this. They chase after us and we must not get taken. Jamie and are great runners. He's the only one who can keep up with me. We run as fast as we can and finding our way. Trying to escape from them. So we can figure out a plan.
"You won't get away." Sly said, "Go and get them."
"You guys do what you have. You know you have to do it. We will be alright." Kelli said, "I didn't let them get the chip in. I know how it works."
We still run and they trail behind. We see that Kelli isn't control that is good to hear. She's right about what we said. I know we have to do it. Looking over at Jamie and he understands as well. He out a knockout bomb and I does as well. This will knock them out so we don't have to hit them. Turning a corner and we throw them. They go off moments later and heard them gasp. They fall to the ground out cold. While Kelli is taking care of them. We run down to another hall and see that we almost crash into them. We barely avoid them and escape from them.
"Let's deal with them together." Slick said, "Our plan is too great."
"We will catch them," Sly said
We still have to take care of them. They're too dangerous to be planning. Their plan is a dangerous one and can truly work out. The world like that would be truly horrible to live in. Having free will but then not having it. We still run and they are close behind us. That's when I see a rope.
"I have an idea," I say
Jamie heads closer to me. I whisper our plan and he smiles. I know this going to work out. We will take care of them. Together we can do this. Two more dangerous bad guys will be taken care of. Jamie and find our way and set up our rope trap. Pretending that we have hit a dead end.
"You can't get away from us," Slick said
"The world will be ours," Sly said, "There will be nothing you can do about it."
They head closer to us. We pretend that we can't do a thing. They walk closer to a trap and don't see a thing. They step closer and the trap is set. Taking them both by surprise. Moments later Sly is on top of Slick. The ropes hold them down. Jamie and I high paw each other. We have beaten them.
I truly must say my little plan worked out. They have the special look in their eyes. Seeing that their cheeks are slightly red. Judy is still on top of Nick. They haven't moved an inch. They have lost each other in their eyes. Just like I saw them when they were in the tree house. When her father was coming over they quickly broke apart. Their love is great to see. I truly hope they realize that and get together.
"Kiddo got us good." Nick laughed
"Yes, she did get us." Judy said, "She's one sly kid."
They laugh moments later. Having big smiles on their faces. The rope isn't too hard to get out of. I made sure of that. Watching Nick untie the knot I made. Knowing he learned to do that after wanting to be a Junior Ranger. That's one of the things you learn. Too bad that it didn't work out for him. He would have been a great Junior Ranger.
"You two did great." I say "Two dangerous bad guys."
"Yep, we came up with a great plan." Nick said, "Carrots would make a great bad guy."
"Thanks Slick and we had fun." Judy said, "You guys had great imaginations. It reminds me when I was younger. Jude and I had a lot of fun."
I do see a sad look in her eyes. I wonder how to feels like a twin. I would have had a twin brother. Just like Judy had. I never got the chance to know him. Or to know my own family. Because they were taken away from me. Only getting one year with my family. Before they were murdered and I became the only survivor. I have been told that story many times. It's something that I will never forget. Like Judy will never forget about Jude. I heard that she took her brother's case.
"My mom tells me that." Jamie said, "It was a lot of fun. I'm glad that joined in."
His mother is nice and I like her. She suffered through abuse as well. Her husband abused her until she finally told the cops. She has gotten through the pain and wants to help others who suffered like she did. She does know about what happened to me. We have talked about it. Jamie also has a great imagination. Just like I do. We do have a lot of fun.
"It was a fun time." Monica said, "I'll see you later."
"See you later," I say
We are going to have a large sleepover. We always have a great time at our sleepovers. Do them whenever we can. This one is going to be lots of fun. I can't wait for it. Just having a great time under the stars. Monica has last minute packing to do. Before her family heads back to Zootopia. We will be heading back to Zootopia as well. Going around the same time. Monica lives in Sahara Square. Just like Finnick does. Or any mammal from the desert climate. Watching her head back home. Sherri, Sadie, and Aaron say goodbye as well. We will see them later.
"So what about you friend?" I ask
"I want to hang out with you." Jamie said, "If that's alright if you."
"That is totally alright with me," I say
"We can have fun playing together," Lindsey said
Turning over to Jamie and smile. He smiles at me. Now I know were friends after all. We are going to have fun with each other. Nick and Judy smile at us. Taking his paw and we head inside the house. They follow behind us. Seeing that Bonnie is sewing. I know how to do that. Knowing that skill is useful again.
"It sounded like you guys were having fun," Bonnie said
"We did have a lot of fun." Judy said, "I forget how that felt like. I'm glad that we got to take the time to feel like a kid again."
I could tell that they were having lots of fun. Fully getting into the game that we were playing. Nick and Judy are in the kitchen. Drinking some tea and eating pretzels. Best villains that someone would have to face. We head over to the living room to sit down.
"I feel like coloring." Lindsey said, "Does that sound good?"
"It does and coloring is fun." Jamie said, "I'm sure that Aurora would say yes, no matter what."
"That is true," I say
Lindsey gathers everything that we need. Getting out pens, color pencils, markers, and crayons. Taking out pages and coloring books. We are going to have a fun time with this. For coloring is lots of fun and adults have started to color again. Taking a blank piece of page and I'm going to make my own design. I like coloring my down design and let others do that as well.
"So have they figured out school yet?" Lindsey asked
"They are still coming up with something. I know they will figure it out." I say "So how have you been Jamie?"
"I have been very good I suppose." Jamie said, "We are moving back to Zootopia. We want to go back home. Mom got her job back and it has been nice here. But Zootopia is our home and I only have one true friend and that's you, Aurora."
I could tell that and it made me sad. All he wanted was a friend. No one wanted to be his friend. I and my group of friends were nice to him. I guess I was his only real friend. Despite the playful teasing. We are real friends. I'm glad to have him as friend. Going home is the best for them. It's where they belong. He's in prison and will never bother or hurt them again.
"Then we can see each other every day." I say "Maybe go to the same school. Faye, Monica, Cherry, Kari, and Terri will like you a lot."
"Thank you, and I would like that a lot," Jamie said
He was a hurt and lonely kid. Who only wanted to make some new friends. But no one wanted to be his friend. Now I'm his friend and he will have other friends as well. Jamie is a cool and kind kid. That everyone overlooked but us. He's having a good time coloring. He's using crayons. While Lindsey is using markers. I start out sketching. Deciding to make a wonderful design of flowers and vines. First I make a two-inch fame. Using black permanent marker to make it stand out. Then I start to draw the vines.
"So how's living with my sister and Nick? Lindsey asked
"It has been going great. I like them a lot and they're my friends." I say "I get to see Jack Savage."
"Really? That's super cool Aurora." Jamie said happily
My life has been great with. I feel truly happy being in the same home as them. We have lots of fun with each other. I know he's a huge fan of Jack Savage. He has read the books countless times. Judy told us that his other four books was the ones he signed. About the other characters in his Savage series. It's the same thing for me. Looking over at him and smile.
"You can meet him." I say "I would happily do that."
"Really? That would be so nice of you." Jamie said, "No one has done something like that for me."
He heads over to me and gives me a hug. Which does feel really good and I like it. I'm glad that I put a smile on his face. I will do that for him. Jack does love meeting his fans. Taking the time to meet them. Not like a lot of famous mammals. Some only care about their fame and treat their fans poorly.
"I did get the chance to met him." Lindsey said, "You will love meeting him. He's great just like they say."
That is the truth and he isn't a fake. He's truly a good mammal and does good things. Sure he has made mistakes. Just like everyone does. Those mistakes haven't affected his career and he has become a better mammal because of the mistakes he has made. Not one that would let you down. Just like many famous mammals have. There are too many to list. Michelle does make that list and she let all her fans down.
Finishing up with the vines. Making them twist, and overlap. Making the vines stand out and look like they're lifelike. Taking out the permanent marker and go over the pencil. So it can stand out. That takes me a few minutes to do.
"So when are you going to earn the Honorary Police medal?" Jamie asked, "That feeling must have been great."
"After all of this is finished. That the woman is in prison." I say "It was truly a great feeling."
I will earn that medal soon and I can't wait for that day to come. It was truly a great feeling and I will never forget that. I want this whole case to be finished. So I don't have to worry about her anymore. Looking up at Nick and Judy I know I will always see them. Same for my other cop friends.
"That sounds good friend." Lindsey said, "We will all be there. When that day comes."
"I can't wait for that." I say "Having all my friends around will make it great."
Seeing them both smile at that. I know it will be so great. Felicia and Monique are so proud of me. Taking a pencil and begin to draw the flowers. They're going to be colorful flowers. Drawing them out and place them around the sketch. Having a great time doing that. We color as we talk as well. Finishing up with the sketch. Now I can color it.
"That looks great Aurora." Jamie said, "I can't wait to see how it looks colored."
"Thank you, Jamie and it will be great," I say
He does like my artwork and always says good things about them. That always puts a smile on my face. Deciding I will use crayons and I have a lot to pick out. Also, I love using crayons. Using different colors of yellow, blue, red, oranges, and purple. To make the coloring page so colorful. I like doing that. Finishing up the last flower and it's the color of royal purple. Finishing it up a few moments later.
"That looks great Kiddo," Nick said
"Thank you, Nick." I say "What are you two up to?"
"You're welcome Kiddo," Nick said, "Just sitting around and talking."
"That sounds good," I say
Knowing they could talk for hours and they have a good time. Just like friends do. Seeing a smile on his face. Seeing that Judy is in a happy mood as well. That makes me happy as well. Wondering what they're talking about. Knowing it's going well for them. Watching him head back to Judy. Hearing the door open up. Seeing that it's Kelli and Kyra. I know the two of them have been busy. Kyra is wearing an orange sundress. While Kelli is wearing a light blue tank top and dark blue shorts.
"I thought you were going to take a break from work." Kyra said, "We're on a short break."
"I have been having lots of fun." Kelli said, "Work is fun for me. I'm always ready to lend a helping paw."
"You're hopeless sis. Just like Judy. If you could you would work twenty-four seven." Kyra said teasingly "But you do good sis."
Kelli does remind me of Judy. She decided to follow her dream. Just like Judy did. Loving her job as a paramedic just like Judy loves her job as a police officer. They would do that if they could. Kelli lightly hits her sister on the arm. Knowing that she's just messing with her. Just like a sibling would do. Watching Kelli head over to the living room and she lays on the couch. Looks like she had a long day. I remember the day I found her secret.
It's a beautiful day today. So I'm going to spend it outside. The sky is clear and it's sunny. The weather is nice as well. Others would be crazy for spending indoors on a day like this. Having my canvas bag that has my art stuff. Deciding to do some art outside. Since it's the perfect day to do that. Walking around Bunnyburrow. Trying to find the perfect spot to do some art. There's a lot of great places to do that. That's one of the reasons that mammals love to come and visit. Bunnyburrow has a lot to offer.
"Let's go and head over to the flower gardens," I say
I love doing art there. The gardens are so beautiful during the spring. One of the best places to do art. Knowing where the gardens are by heart. I have been there many times. Loving each trip that I take. It is only a five-minute wake over there. The gardens are over by one of the clinics. So the gardens put smiles on others. Walking for five minutes I see the garden up head. That puts a smile on my face. I'm ready to do some art. Before I do head over to the gardens. I crash into someone or they crash into me. It's was too hard to tell. Both of fall to the ground. Falling wasn't too bad and I wasn't hurt.
"I'm sorry about that. I'm just running late."
"Are you alright?" I ask
"I'm alright but just running late."
So I crashed into a teen girl. I could tell by her voice. Seeing that books and paper have fallen to the ground. There's also a bag on the ground and has stuff as well. Helping her pick up the stuff that fell on the ground. I can tell it's all medical stuff. Looks like she's taking in class in first aid. Knowing that the clinical offer those classes. When you become the right age. I'm too young to take the classes. Gathering up the remaining papers. I paw them to her and see Kelli Hopps. She's wearing a blue outfit. Like someone in the medical field would wear. So she is taking classes. I do know about the Hopps. They have a great farm and a large family. Judy Hopps wants to be the first rabbit officer. I believe she can do it. They also don't like or trust foxes. They still let me buy stuff from them and I know a few of them. Seeing that she doesn't run away from me. That is good news.
"Hello, there Kelli Hopps," I say
"Hello, there Aurora." Kelli said, "Please with a cherry on top don't tell my parents or siblings I'm doing this. I know they would stop me. Not Judy but they would."
Looking up to her silver eyes. I can tell this is important to her. Just like art is important to me. I did see her test scores. They were all hundred percent or higher than that. So she does have a great skill in what she's learning. I look over at her and smile. Zipping up my lips moments later. She lets out a laugh.
"Your secret is safe with me." I say "So do you want to join the medical field? Just like Judy wants to be a police officer?"
"You're great kid and thank you," Kelli said, "I want to become a paramedic. That has been a dream of mine."
"That's great to hear," I say "I believe you will do well."
"Thank you, and I know I can." Kelli said, "I'll see you sometime soon."
"See you later," I say
Watching her head off heading over to the clinic. I don't understand why all rabbit and hares have to be farmers. They are more than capable of doing so much more. They just got to take the chance to do it. Everyone can be anything if they set their mind to it and work hard at it. Just like Kelli is doing and knowing that Judy doing the same thing. I know that they can make their dreams come to. Someday I will find mine.
I truly don't know what I want for my future career. Right know my dream is to be adopted into a loving family. I know that will come true someday and can't wait for that to happen. There is a family me out there and just have to find it. Looking over at Kelli she made her dream come doing. Who's doing a great job. Just like with Kyra.
"So where did you get the police hat?" Jamie asked
"Nick gave it to me." I say "He says that I'm his heroine."
"That's super cool Aurora." Jamie said, "First, you earn a real medal and now have a real police hat. You're one lucky girl."
"I suppose I am," I say
Most mammals wouldn't earn a medal like this. Others care about themselves too much or don't want to help others. I took the chance to save Nick even when I was risking myself. I knew they could have figured me out and that they would take me back. Margaret knew the truth and would have punished me. Craig and the woman would have punished me. I took a risk and it worked out. Sometimes you have to take a risk for the greater good. Just like police officers, firefighters, and EMS do every day.
"I'm totally sure that you can earn Honorary EMS Duty." Kelli said, "After all you're great with medical skills."
"I learned from one of the best." I say "I could earn that as well. Thank you, for saying that."
I did learn my skills from Heidi and she was a great paramedic. I know I could earn that medal as well. I do have many medical skills. That's how I saved Nick's life. I will never forget that day. It's important to me. Knowing I did something great. Something for the greater good. Also knowing that Kelli and Kyra earned medals for the duty they have done. Heidi and Victoria have told me about the medals.
"Heidi was a great paramedic. Just like Vicki was a great one." Kyra said, "Too bad I never got to met her."
"I know you would have liked her a lot. She was truly great." I say
I know they would have liked her and she would have liked them. Kelli would have gotten along with her very well. Just like she's going to get along with Vicki. We are going to have dinner with them. She has been busy with her mayor duties. Who's doing a great job with that.
"I know that we would." Kelli said, "I get along with paramedics very well."
I can understand that. She grew up to look up to paramedics. Now she has become one and is a great one. Others can look up to her and know that they do. Just like with Judy she has proven that rabbits and hares can be more than farmers.
"So what have you been dealing with?" Lindsey asked
"Helped others who were suffering heat strokes, heat exhaustion, dealing minor injuries, and someone who dru…who got really sick and had to go to the hospital." Kelli said, "Still have time for fun."
"Oh yes, time for little fun." Kyra said, "I have been having a great time. I got some stuff from my boyfriend."
She has done a lot and has done a great job. Kelli throws a pillow at her. Still knowing that her sister is messing with her. It hits her on the head before it falls to the ground. I heard that she's dating a nice buck. Another thing that is different about them. Kyra is dating while she's not. I never met the guy from what I heard he's a good one. I'm glad to hear that. Everyone deserves someone to love and someone to love them. I have been told that everyone has a soulmate. I can believe that. Nick and Judy are each other soulmates. They just don't see it yet. Love has no boundaries.
"You have been very busy." Jamie said, "Do you think I could be a paramedic? A paramedic named Garica Butcher saved my mom's life."
"I have and I do have a good time. I have been having lots of fun." Kelli said, "Of course, you can be a paramedic. There are two great fox paramedics and there will be more. They're good friends of mine. You can be anything you want. She's a very good paramedic."
I see that Jamie's eyes light up. I did hear about that how he almost killed her. He was never going to kill him. He wanted Jamie to me alone and suffering through the pain of his mother. Luckily help came for them on time. He was arrested and sent to prison later. Knowing she's talking about Elvie and Roxanne. I can see him becoming a paramedic someday. Maybe I can as well.
"I'm glad to hear that sister." Kyra said, "You're aren't such a stick in the mud."
"Or just like you didn't totally become a party girl." Kelli said, "I do remember you sneaking off to them."
Kelli looks over at her and smiles. She has got back at her twin. Seeing that Kyra's face turns red. I have heard about parties like that. The older teens talk about them. How they want to go to them. Knowing they could never throw a party. Due her being strict with things like that and a bunch of young kids. I have no interest in those parties. Never knew that about Kyra. I guess I can see her liking them when she was a teenager. Going through what they call the teenager years. Seeing that Bonnie has walked into the kitchen. Who's starting dinner and we're having guests. Tonight we are having pasta, fresh fruit and veggies.
"Come friends let's help her out," I say
"Sounds good to me." Jamie said, "I like helping my mom bake and cook."
"Whenever they need help I do help out." Lindsey said, "Also I do have to do my chores."
We all have stuff we have to do at the home. So it can be kept on going well and everyone can live together. We head over to the kitchen. Looks like they are helping out as well. I do know some baking and cooking skills. It's a skill that everyone should learn. I do know the basics of how to use the washer and dryer. Something else you should learn. She smiles when she sees us.
"Looks like this will be quicker than I thought." Bonnie said, "I'm glad to get all the help I can get."
It's nice to lend a helping paw to someone. Since kindness doesn't cost a thing and would make someone day even greater. So I do that any time I can. Just like I know I cheered up the woman who was having a hard day. Bonnie tells us what we have to do. Us kids will wash the fruit and veggies. Helping to make the salads. Kelli and Kyra will help out with that. They will deal with all the cutting. Still too young to use a knife. I know how to use one safely. We are over at the large sink and washing the fruit and veggies. Two wash and Lindsey is putting them on the counter. So Kelli and Kyra can cut them up. So we can make the salads.
"Soon you will be leaving for Zootopia again. Time does seem to the pass by fast." Bonnie said, "We are going to miss you."
"We will be back home as soon as well can." Judy said, "We will miss you as well."
Judy heads over to give her mother a hug. Tomorrow late afternoon we will be heading back home. We had a great time here. Knowing I will head back to my first home as soon as I can. Once the case is all finished. Washing up some strawberries and Jamie is washing blueberries. We paw her the fruit once we are done with them.
"I'm going to miss you two a lot," Lindsey said
"I'm going to miss you as well friend." I say "We will see each other soon."
"Thanks and me too," Jamie said
I will miss all my friends in Bunnyburrow. Having good friends in Zootopia. No matter where I go I have friends in both places. So I will never be alone. Bunnyburrow will ways be there for me. It will be always a home as well. Currently, my life is in Zootopia. Not knowing for how long. Finishing up with the fruit and we head to the veggies next. Cabbages from Terry's farm. Knowing he has a farm in Eastern Bunnyburrow. I have met him a few times. He's a good guy and knows he went savage from eating a Night Howler. Biting his own sister. That's how the case was solved.
"Today was a fun day," Lindsey said
"It truly was," I say "we are going to have lots of fun tonight."
"I had lots of fun," Jamie said, "I can't wait until tonight."
Together we are going to have one last fun night together. Before we head back and school starts. We're going to make it one of the best nights ever. Starting up as late as we can. Seeing who can stay up the longest. Always having a good time with that. We finish up with washing the veggies. Seeing that they're done as well.
"Alright let's made the salads." Kyra said, "Lindsey and I will make the vegetable salad."
"Then I will have you two," Kelli said
"Sounds good to me." Jamie and I say
We look over at each other and smile. We said the same thing. Heading over to Kelli. We are going to make a fruit salad with lots of different fruit. Watermelon, melons, strawberries, apples, oranges, raspberries, and blueberries. Going to be the best-tasting fruit salad ever. Jamie places in the watermelon.
"Can you tell us about a medal that you earned? Jamie asked
"I love hearing stories," I say
"Of course, and I would love to tell you." Kelli said, "I can tell you about when I earned Merit of Service."
I do remember all the medals that a paramedic can earn. Vicki and Heidi told me about them. About stories of how they earned the medals. Vicki has earned them all and Heidi didn't get the chance to. Their stories are great to listen to. Knowing that both were heroines and saved many lives. In the end, Heidi life couldn't be saved and Vicki became mayor of Zootopia. Knowing about Merit of Service. It's the first medal they can earn. It's when they do their job very well and perform with duty with intelligence. Doing what it takes to do their duty very well. Saving a life for doing their duty. Kelli tells us about how she figured out what was wrong with the very sick mammal. Finding out a way to save his life. Doing a great job and saving his life. If she didn't figure that out he would have died. He thanked her for saving his life.
"That very cool Kelli. You were the only one to think about poison." Jamie said, "How did you come up with that."
"I'm a huge fan of mysteries and have read a lot of them. So I figured it out." Kelli said, "I was awarded that for doing my duty."
"Well, you did a great job," I say
"Thank you, two and I will do my duties to the best of my ability." Kelli said, "We are done with the salad."
Seeing Kelli have a huge smile. Knowing that Judy and Nick feel the same way about being officers. Kyra does as well and she likes being a paramedic. It's not huge dreams of hers. But she does enjoy it. Looks like they are done as well. This going to be a great dinner. The food looks great and smells great as well.
"I will set up for dinner." Lindsey said, "It's a job that I love to do."
She heads over to do her job. Having a skip as she walks. Unlike most kids, she does like to do her chores. Watching her set up the long table. Having a smile on her face. I know we are going to have a good time. Bonnie looks over at us and has a small smile. I wonder what she's thinking about. She places the pasta in the oven. Walking over to all of us.
"Mom this the first time I have been told this. Your friend April said I got my skills from you. That I saw it right away and you would as well. Telling me that medically trained eye would catch that. After I helped out with her heat stroke son. He was suffering badly." Kelli said, "I know you know basic first aid. So what is she talking about?"
"Well, you do get you being a trier from someone. I trained to be a nurse and wanted to be one. Things didn't work out and I gave up on that dream. To become a farmer and start my own family." Bonnie said, "It makes me happy that you didn't give up on your dreams."
Everyone is taken by surprise and I'm taken by surprise as well. Hearing a plate fall hard to the table. Looks like Bonnie never told them about that. I did find out that she knew medical skills when I was hurt. Even those I was a fox she still helped me out. I know she can't stand a kid being hurt. I can see her being a good nurse. She's good, kind, friendly, and hardworking. The perfect traits for a nurse.
"So that's what you meant you gave up on your dreams and settled." Judy said, "Things were hard for me and I didn't give up. Until I made a huge mess."
"Yes, that is what we meant." Bonnie said, "The patient we were working died gunshot wound to the shoulder. It wasn't bleeding too bad but she still died."
"That's highly unlike and I have treated wounds like that. None of my patients died. In cases like that only four mammals died because they were. That was out of fifty. Base off what you say it was deep fresh wound but didn't get through the bones. To cause real damage." Kelli said, "So someone set you up to fail. Making sure that you didn't become a nurse."
"That's true mom Nick and I have met officers who were shot in the shoulder. They lived to tell the tale." Judy said, "So Kelli is right about that. I have been shot in the arm."
"That is the truth mom," Kyra said
Why would someone do to someone? Ruining something that someone enjoys. Just because they don't like it or don't want them to do it. So they ruin it for them and hurt them as well. It's not right to do that. I don't know much about gunshot wounds. But I know they're telling the truth. Makes sense that they would have injuries like that. Since they are police officers. I don't understand why I don't like hearing about it. That it makes me uncomfortable.
"Yes, what they're saying is true. You can survive from a gunshot wound." Nick said, "Are you okay Kiddo?"
"I was just thinking about something." I say "Well I believe that you would have been a great nurse."
"Thank you, all and I suppose that is true." Bonnie said, "I never thought of that way before. That moment did scare us when you told us when you were shot."
"You guys can be truly overprotective." Kyra said, "I swear if you did come down to visit. We would have heard you from outside the hospital."
"That's because we love you and we worry." Stu said, "Dinner looks great."
I do know they can be overprotective but it's understandable. They do know their lucky to have parents that love and care about. Knowing that not everyone is lucky to have parents like that or have some at all. Sometimes we take what we have for granted. Not realizing what we have until it's too late. Someday I will have parents or parent like that. Someday that dream will come true and it will be great.
