Davies was beside himself. "Davies," His twin sister Judy said sympathetically. "It isn't that Nick and I don't want to live with you anymore. It's just... after the incident." She said, gesturing to the unholy mess of fur, feathers, cheese and jelly that was covering the kitchen and living room of there apartment. "It's obvious that we can't live here anymore."
"L-Look I'm sorry that I didn't keep a better eye on Pandora and Olaf!" Davies stuttered.
"We're not blaming you for the mess Davies," Judy said. "But... it's obvious that the children need space, space they can't get here. Not to mention this is the fourth time this week Nick and I found utter chaos like this."
"Yeah, and on a completely unrelated note. You might want to use speakers on your computer from now on." Nick said.

A month later, Nick and Judy moved into there new home in the suburbs. Which, by a weird coincidence was in the same neighborhood as Anna Blackpaw's manor. "I just hope we don't get any problems from the neighbors," Judy said when she and Nick finished unpacking.
"You're just now thinking about that?" Nick said, there was a knock at the front door.
"I'll go get it," Judy said, she opened the door and saw a coyote in a lab coat.
"Hello, and welcome to the neighborhood." The coyote said cordially, he then handed Judy a business card. "My name is Professor Wily Iatrans. Supergenius."
"Oh goody, he's one of THOSE coyotes... the one we had back in Bunnyburrow was one insufferably smug coyote too many." Judy thought to herself.
"I do not doubt that you have not heard of me. As I mainly keep to myself from the outside world." Wily said.
"That would certainly explain why you smell like you've haven't showered... or probably have never bathed in the first place." Judy thought to herself in exasperation.
"But I am a foremost expert in robotics and quantum physics." Professor Wily bragged. "I don't mean to brag of course."
"Of course you don't... and that's just great. Another Omni-disciplinarian scientist. First Mulerson, then my daughter from the future... and now you." Judy thought to herself.
"So whose... at the... door?" Nick said as he checked on his wife. And was dismayed to find a coyote figuratively chewing his wife's ear.
"Just let him get it out of his system babe," Judy said in resignation.
This went on for several minutes. "But enough about me, tell me about yourselves." Professor Wily said, completely oblivious by the mixed-species couples utter boredom with him.
"I'm Judy Hopps, this is my husband Nick," Judy said, faking her best. 'I'm happy to be talking to you' face.
"Hmm... quaint." Professor Wily said dismissively. "Anyway, here is a house warming gift." He then gave them a toaster.
"Well... to be fair. There was never really a call for toast at our old place... right Honey Bun?" Nick said.
"I was only concerned with your health Nick!" Judy said defensively.
"Regardless, I hope you enjoy it. Good day." Professor Wily said.
Nick and Judy closed and locked the door. "That... that was the most long-winded nerd I ever heard," Nick said in exhaustion.
"Agreed, man has worse social skills then Davies." Judy breathed in relief. "And he's not even the first insufferably smart coyote I've ever met. There was this guy in elementary school named Melvin-" There was another knock at the door. Judy looked through the peephole and unlocked and opened the door.
"It's good to finally have you as proper neighbors." Anna Blackpaw said with a bright smile on her face.
"Why weren't you here before the coyote?!" Nick said.
"Wily needs fresh air every now and again. But don't worry about him." Anna said reassuringly. "He is insufferable, true. But otherwise, he's harmless. Thankfully the worse that happens with his inventions is that they blow up in his home."
"Speaking of harmless... do you know if Davies doing alright?" Judy asked in concern.
"He's alive, but emotionally... let's just say that while he's safe. He's right to be scared of living in my home." Anna said frankly. "Not just of being under the same roof as Josephus, but because of the ghosts haunting the Manor. The numerous magical and dangerous artifacts I keep under lock and key. Not to mention the uproar in the Vampire Community over the Tribunal of Night's corruption... yeah. As much as I'll protect your brother. He's right to be afraid of living in a large house mainly inhabited by a pair of Vampires."
"Fair enough, just let him know that if he ever feels uncomfortable at your home. He can stay with us as long as he wants... or if your house is ever destroyed by the Night Dragons Cabal or whoever else would want to do you in." Nick said.
"Is the war just happening slowly?" Judy asked.
"Look Night War's aren't fought the same as mortal conflicts. Suffice it to say, be glad that neither of you are involved... especially after the weirdness that involved your daughter." Anna said. "I'm sorry, but I must get going."

The following week. Nick and Judy were at the front door of Professor Wily's home. "Oh thank goodness... I don't know how it happened. But your children got into my lab!"
"Just take us to them," Judy said with an angry look on her face.
"And if there's so much as a scratch, on either Pandora or Olaf," Nick said, just as irate as his wife. "We will sue you for every cent you own."
"Hey, I'm the victim here! I would never allow children into my lab in the first place!" Professor Wily protested.
"And yet our kids slipped in any way," Nick said bitterly. Eventually, the two arrived down in Professor Wily's lab. "So... you create equipment, to hunt Roadrunners?"
"Not just any Roadrunner... one I call the Desert Blur!" Professor Wily said grandly. "My family has hunted that accursed bird-"
"Just. Take us. To Pandora, and Olaf." Judy said in exasperation. "Also, this is the last time we'll let you babysit them."
"But this is the first time!" Professor Wily said.
Eventually, they found Pandora and Olaf. Pandora and Olaf were by a large ring-shaped device. "Mama!" Pandora cried out. "Olaf and I fix gate."
"What do you mean... 'gate'... Wily. Is this an inter-planetary gate of some sort?" Nick said.
"No, of course not." Professor Wily said Nick and Judy, breathed a sigh of relief. "It's an inter-dimensional portal. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to work."
Then the portal came to life, projecting a wormhole in its center. "Olaf and I fixed!" Pandora said proudly.
"I did all the grunt work, while she told me what to get!" Olaf said.
Professor Wily was flabberghasted. "How... how did a mere-"
"It's a long story Egg-Head," Nick said in resignation.
"Pandora! Turn that off before something nasty comes through!" Judy yelled, then before either of her children could react. Three figures flew through. Strange furry rat-like creatures. All three were around Nick and Judy's height. The shortest had black and white fur, large ears, and wore red robes and had cybernetic arms. The second tallest had a gaudy and ornate looking suit of armor, black and white fur, including rings on his tail. The tallest had red fur and wore a fairly contemporary flak jacket.
"Okay... I'm going to open my eyes... and we're NOT going to be in the Warp anymore." The mid-sized creature said as he got up, and looked around him. "Okay... Maurice! We're surrounded by strange aliens!"
"Really Inquisitor Julien? I never would have guessed." The short creature said in a mechanical tone of voice.
"No matter, these xeno scum'll be crimson smears on the floor soon enough." The tallest creature said as she pulled out a rifle, and fired lasers at the Mammals. "EAT LASER IN THE EMPERORS NAME!"
"Stand down Clover!" Inquisitor Julien said in a panic as the Mammals dove for cover.
"Okay... to recap. Your children fixed my inter-dimensional portal, and brought xenophobic aliens from another dimension!" Professor Wily said.
"It was accident!" Pandora said.
"Yeah! Like anyone could see this specifically happen!" Nick said indignantly.
Judy then made a call on her phone. "Clawhauser! It's Judy. We've got a situation at our neighbor's house!"
