"Time again to let ya in on what's happenin' here around the mountain. The spotlight this time around's on Judy Hopps, the first ever female rabbit to be drafted into the circuit that's gonna start taking place before we know it. Both her optimism and confident personality has had the media buzzing since she was selected to be a part of the circuit. Honestly, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we're all looking forward to seeing her talents out on the slopes. We'll keep ya notified with the highlights of the competition once it's underway, but for now here's the latest track from none other than Gazelle…"
As the newest pop tune from the acclaimed "Angel With Horns" started to play for the umpteenth time, the young and enthusiastic doe took out her earbuds. Despite hearing it for herself, the fact that her name was just mentioned on the radio station almost didn't seem real.
Judy looked out at the mountain views she could see from the small window that was close to her. The striations of rock looked absolutely stunning from the altitude the large rotorcraft was currently traveling at, and the awestruck leporine's jaw dropped upon her glimpsing at them.
A chime sound rung out to her left a few inches away from her, and the gray lagomorph turned around to see the screen of her messaging device lit with a text notification. Picking it up and sliding it open, she saw that the new message that she had just received was from none other than her parents.
Good luck out there, Judy! the message read. We'll all be rootin' for you the whole way through. Just please be careful out there, and call us when you arrive there safely. Love you.
Of course they would be reminding her to be careful where she was heading; they had just about every reason to be concerned. Snowboard Supercross was one of the largest and most exciting competitions of its kind, and it had more than its fair share of perilous moments throughout its years of duration.
This sport was her passion, though, and she had been dreaming about this moment for quite some time. She had been practicing and working for this for as long as she could remember, and now all of that dedication made her vision her reality.
Her head slouched slightly as she looked down at the little electronic device in her grasp, quickly typed out a reply to her parent's message and set her phone back down. For the next few moments, Judy just sat there in silence, bubbling with optimism as she eagerly prepared herself for the events that awaited her.
After some time had passed, a voice called out, "Hopps." Who had said her name sounded almost inaudible against the roaring sound of the propellors above the private helicopter.
With her ears perked, Judy turned her head over to where the pilot, a reindeer who held his job from the very first circuit, was seated.
"We'll be reaching our destination momentarily," he said informatively.
Alrighty, Judy thought, it's time to get out there and show 'em what ya got!
After giving herself an internal pep talk, the doe reached over to the side and grabbed her snowboard—one with an eccentrically-colorful design on it that had become her most favorite possession. She put hersmall pink earbuds back in, the sounds of electronic music filling her ears as she slid her messaging device into her right pocket.
Once the helicopter neared its destination, the metallic doors slowly opened up. Judy, her snowboard now attached to her boot-covered paws, got up from her seat, gazing out at the thick blankets of white snow that surrounded everything within her vision. A large gust of chilly wind blew against her fur with much force.
Ready to take on whatever awaited her first in this year's circuit, the lagomorph adjusted the hood on the top of the thick coat she was wearing, and hopped out into the snow. As she sped down the elevated peak she was starting from, she couldn't help but whoop with glee as she maneuvered her way around some of the trees that appeared within her path.
Next stop: The opening ceremony!
Author's Note: Hey, everyone! Tonight I present you with the beginning to yet another idea that probably no one was expecting to come about. XD
The game series that inspired this was another one of my absolute favorites growing up, and I remembered having lots of fun playing it. After playing it again and revisiting it, the ridiculous idea of combining the elements of it with one of my favorite animated movies just popped into my head. The image of Judy on a snowboard was just too fun to just ignore. XD
I know that this is kinda silly (more like a lot), but sometimes I guess you just gotta follow whatever the writer in you is telling you to type out. I hope that this was good start to what will hopefully result in something fun to read. :)
Anywho, let me know what your thoughts were on the prologue here. Your thoughts, whether good or bad, are always gladly appreciated.
Also, always, I want to give my thanks to every one that has reading the other stories I've been writing. It means a lot to know y'all are enjoying them! :)
'Til next time, everyone! :D
