Pandora fell out of bed in the morning. "Uh... what time is it?" She asked as she stood up and yawned, and looked at her clock. "6:50?" She muttered as she read the clock. "Well... I'm awake now." Pandora said as she made her way to the bathroom, and began washing her face.
When Pandora finished washing and drying she looked at herself in the mirror. She noticed spots on her face... and arms. "Those... those weren't there yesterday," Pandora said in surprise. "Elizabeth, are you awake?" She asked of her robotic friend.
"I never actually sleep," Elizabeth said cheerfully as she entered the bathroom. "What seems to be the- oh my..." she said as she took notice of the grey spots on Pandora's fur. "Those weren't there yesterday!" The robotic bunny said in surprise.
"I know, I even just said that! But... WHY?!" Elizabeth said in surprise.
"I don't know. It doesn't make any sense of this to be happening." Elizabeth said.
Eventually, Nick and Judy took Elizabeth to a doctor. "Well, I have good news. Your daughter is just going through puberty." The weasel doctor said.
"But she's ten! That's far too young for this to be happening!" Nick said in disbelief.
"And how does that even explain the spots?" Judy asked.
"Well... that's just it. From the tests we've done, she's definitely going through puberty. But... it seems like she MIGHT have vitiligo." The weasel doctor said.
"WHAT?!" Judy and Nick said.
"It's a skin condition that results in a loss of pigmentation and-"
"We know what it is! How is our daughter getting it?" Judy asked in frustration.
"Look, I'm just a pediatrician. All of this is out of my experience and I can't even guess why this is happening to an otherwise healthy hybrid." The weasel said in frustration. "And I have no idea who you can see that can better explain what's happening to her."
Eventually, Nick and Judy had brought Pandora to a geneticist. "Well young lady, the good news is it's nothing TOO serious." A tapir said to Pandora. "It's just that your genes are reacting to adrenaline."
"What? That's not even how adrenaline works!" Pandora said.
"Well according to the tests we've run. That is what's happening to you... we're not entirely sure WHY it's doing this. But that appears to be the case." The tapir explained.
"But I'm not usually physically active, especially not enough for... THIS to be happening." Pandora said in disbelief.
"I know, it's crazy, but that's what we've figured out here at Chimera World Labs." The tapir said, referring to the park of hybridized dinosaurs that had been established over ten years prior. "Now would you like a lollipop?" The tapir offered.
"I... I don't really feel like it." Pandora said, she and her parents then went about the park. Looking around at the hybridized dinosaurs. Of course, the day's doctors' appointments had soured her disposition. Left her feeling empty inside, unable to properly enjoy or marvel at the exotic creatures.
When they got home, Pandora just sat down on her bed. "Oh man... the Nanny-Bot and I had a field day with the kits today... is something the matter?" Elizabeth asked as she saw her creator looking glum.
"Well... apparently I'm already going through puberty. And NOTHING about it makes any sense!" Pandora said as Elizabeth sat down beside her.
"I'm sorry to hear that oh buddy of mine," Elizabeth said as she hugged her creator.
"I just... want a straight answer about WHY my fur seems to be greying at random and... and I think they actually moved since this morning! How does that even happen?" Pandora said, looking at her arm spots. Not even noticing that Elizabeth was twitching oddly.
"My... that is bizarre," Elizabeth said, her voice inexplicably distorting oddly. "Almost as bizarre as some of your parent's cases since they joined the Zootopia Police Department. As well as the International Defense League"
"I... I suppose. Do you think, that there's some record of something like this?" Pandora asked.
"It's not impossible. Most of the ZPD's and IDL's files DO contain sensitive information, I think I remember something about a... a Dr. Mullerson... I think." Elizabeth said, Pandora still not paying attention to her odd behavior.
"Thanks! I already got an idea!" Pandora said as she perked up as she hopped over to her computer.
"Glad to be of help... halvdel," Elizabeth said in an ominous tone. Her voice briefly changing to that of the fox god of mischief... Loki. Then she stopped glitching and looked surprised. "Oh my! Pandora I was-"
"No time, in the zone. Hacking government files." Pandora said as she typed at her keyboard.
"Yes, but you need to listen!" Elizabeth pleaded.
"Executive Shutdown Command Code: Epsilon 1-9-7-7-P," Pandora stated.
"But Paaaaaaan..." Elizabeth attempted to say as she shut down.
"Now, to work on this in peace," Pandora said as she typed away at her computer like a mad-mammal.
