Full moon

A/N: Funny thing after I posted my latest chapter, 'full moon', Sandsstill, my girlfriend emailed the birthday story she wrote for me. Due to technical difficulties, she will not be able to post it. Because of that, I asked if I could do it for her and she says it is mine to do with as I wish. Sooo with that in mind, I decided to change this chapter into two mini chapters containing the two Full Moon stories within it. First one is the one she wrote for me. The second is mine. My birthday is in December by the way she just wanted to show me the similar themes.

The fox bunny hybrid heard the door close and turned sharply as footsteps made their way down the hall. She waited nervously as she heard him hanging up his coat and clutched the side of the apron she was wearing when he started moving again. Brutus tipped his nose and let it lead him to the kitchen, opening his eyes as she stood there grasping the straws that weren't there.

"Sandy?"

She shrugged her shoulders grinning as he looked over the table and chuckled.

"Get a little bake happy today did you?" He asked as he looked over the table. "This is a bit much love."

She shook her head as he stepped closer looking things over. The wolf blinked as he spotted the chicken on the counter and shook his head as she grabbed several bowls and ushered him to the next room. He blinked as he looked around and shook his head.

"What ...You cleaned up everything and set this up?" She nodded as she motioned to the large chair and sat several things around it, waiting for him to sit down before she was fluffing pillows around him and curled over the back of the chair after handing him a controller.

He looked at the screen chuckling as she rolled her paws over his shoulders. "I guess I'm going to be online for a while?" When she nodded as he looked back at her, he tipped his head and sighed. "You are being really quiet tonight."

She nodded still grinning and he shrugged as he turned his attention to the screen. Several messages popped up that had him chuckling as she kept massaging his shoulders. "This took you awhile didn't it? I know you aren't good with these kinds of things, and where's my girl at anyway?"

She took a seat on the arm of the chair and he narrowed his eyes as she giggled and moved. "I sent her over to her friend's house for the night. We'll have your party tomorrow."

"It's my Birthday and you told her to go away?" He chuckled as she shook her head with a mortified expression.

"I'm just teasing. I know you wouldn't do that… my mother on the other paw ..."

"Hey," she squeaked as he chuckled." I like your mother, I'm just a little ...terrified of her."

Brutus laughed as she shook her head. "I think more than of your daughter."

"She won't bite you." He laughed as she scrunched her nose.

"Says you." She replied as she handed him a cold drink.

"So, what, am I just sitting around playing games tonight?"

She nodded as he shook his head grinning. "I thought maybe I could watch and see if I could

try to understand it, and later I can give you your birthday present when you are done?"

The wolf tipped forward smiling as she wiped her paws down the apron she was wearing.

"Hmm, no kits, quiet house, no chores, I get to goof off with my friends all night…. I'm liking where this is going already."

She giggled as she left the room and brought him back a plate. They sat and ate dinner as he was explaining the game he had set up and finished their dinner with her watching for a couple of hours before she left and cleaned up the kitchen. Brutus grinned as she handed him a piece of Blueberry cake he was twisting his head trying to figure out.

"It's a recipe I found online. The rest is for the party tomorrow when your family is

here. It has chocolate in it too. Don't ask me to try it though because I don't like blueberries."

"I remember. This is pretty good."

She sat with him as he ate and played some more and nearly jerked as his paw brushed over her head. She had fallen asleep sitting next to him on the floor as she rested over the arm of his chair.

"Sandy, I think we should go to bed." She started to pick up the plates and he shook his head.

"It can wait this once." They were both too picky to leave it though and took it to the

Kitchen.

She followed him back to the living room and smiled as his attention shot to the balcony window.

"What the….?" He shook his head as he looked out the large door and looked back to see her smiling. "How is there a full moon when it's the night of the new moon tonight?"

"Happy Birthday." She smiled as he shook his head again. "Wait here. I'll get it for you."

The wolf curled his brow as he watched her step out and wave a paw around the top of it before it hovered above her paw as she carefully walked back to him, the glowing little orb above her paw staying a few inches from her palm as she stepped in front of him again. He looked it over grinning as he caught sight of the metallic magnetized disc in her paw and saw the base of

the moon had a shadow that held the opposite magnet with a bulb that lit it making it glow.

"I had it up with fishing wire. I hoped you would spot it without me saying anything."

"You are giving me the moon for my birthday?" He asked and she giggled as she

shrugged.

"I know it's a wolf thing but I love it too." She sighed as she looked it over before looking back and seeing him smiling. "I'm a half breed. Vixens are usually aggressive when they find a life mate, but does are very quiet and the bucks take the lead. I…. have never been good at taking a first step so, this is a start, to give you back what you have given me. I think like a fox and act like a bunny. I can't really be yours until I can give you everything you have given me. I mean I am already yours but I still sort of choke when things get... real? It's not about getting over an ex for me. I guess I still fight with reality sometimes. I want to make sure that, well I can give you as much as you give me. Foxes always give back what they take and bunnies share everything equally. This is as close as I can get...yet." He shook his head smiling as she held it out to him and he took it in his paw as she curled around him. "You gave me the world, the moon is as close as I can get."

"How did I give you the world?"

She giggled as he looked down at her. "You are the world to me Brute. Someday soon, I will be able to take care of you the same way and I hope you will be mine forever. I love you. Happy Birthday..."

A/N: Ok now for the one I wrote. This note is here to show that from here on it is a completely different story but they do have common themes which is why I put them together.

The old house was deep in the countryside where the lights of Zootopia could not interfere with the view of the night sky. It was huge and old fashioned in its design but that only added to it's suitability. Being so far away from big city life cut all distractions away for the writer to continue his work. It was the seclusion and the fact that it had a massive ballroom that made the site perfect for the planned event.

The writer was a tall midnight black furred wolf with a thin build and glasses. His name was Brutus Neyman. He had been planning this evening for nearly a year. Ever since he had invited her to move in with him. A female like her was what he had been waiting for all his life. Sandy was funny and shy but hid a fire in her that burned his very soul with passion. She was a hybrid mammal containing fox and bunny DNA in her genetic background. This manifested in her foxlike muzzle and long lapine ears. Every feature of her personality and body he had fallen in love with to the extent that she was all that he thought about some days. Of course this all led to tonight.

He had dinner nearly ready to be placed at the little table set for two. The ballroom's music system was all set up for a few slow songs for dancing after dinner. Finally as wolf tradition dictated he would take her on a walk under the light of the full moon to a tall hill and howl.

Sandy knew he was up to something. He had been grinning insufferably all night. That always meant trouble of some sort was in the offing. Usually it was just a gift or sex. Tonight however was nothing special as far as she knew and he didn't smell any hornier than usual so it meant something else. Dinner was wonderful. He had followed his mother's chicken enchilada recipe and even managed not to screw it up.

"Did I forget my birthday?" She asked offhandedly.

"No it's not even the right month, my love." He answered knowing that she knew exactly when her birthday was because he had made sure to make a big deal of it this year. "It's not any sort of anniversary either."

"My clever wolf has evaded my trap," she said while pretending to pout. "So what's going on? You have the crazy happy wolf grin on."

"Oh nothing I was just hoping you would like to dance with me tonight." He said trying to calm his muzzle enough to drop her suspicions. "And then maybe a little walk in the moonlight?"

"That sounds lovely." She answered smiling back.

A few minutes later they were dancing in the large empty ballroom to music they both enjoyed. Easiest way for them was to have her stand on his feet. It made the height difference negligible so that dancing close wasn't an exercise of 'don't knock over your partner.'

The night sky was clear of any clouds as they walked outside. Brutus held her paw more to feel her close than guide her. Day seemed to have been brought into the night with the brightness of the moon. Their feet enjoyed the coolness of the grass as they walked up the hill. Upon reaching the top Brutus let go and gazed into the moon. He howled a long low howl. Hearing it drove shivers down her spine as her love just seemed so primal howling like that. He turned to her with a smile.

"Did you like it?" He asked nervously with his paws in his pockets.

"Of course I liked it," she said putting her paws around his neck to pull him into a kiss. "It came from you after all."

"I have one more thing for you then." He said and pulled out his paws to paw her a small velvet box. "Will you marry me?"
