It was around evening when Noah had a good rest. After a while Bellflower told him she had run a bath for him. Noah loved baths and enjoyed playing with Nick during that time but it felt rather lonely without him. However, Bellflower's company washing him up made up for it. He grew to like her very much, almost like the sort of sister no one ever had.

Bellflower helped Noah strip but it was a difficult job getting in the bath because they had to remove the bandage.

"It's stuck!" cried Noah as they undid it.

"The air sucks into the open wound," explained Bellflower. "It's not a bowl of carrot soup, is it? We'll just take it off quickly okay?"

"Okay," gulped Noah.

"Ready? One … two … three."

And she whisked it off, Noah wincing and tears running down his cheeks.

"I know, baby. I know," comforted Bellflower, hugging him tight. "Brave little puppy."

She picked him up and gently placed him into the water, the tub just Noah's size.

"The water might sting your cut a little," she warned but the heat will help heal it.

She was as faithful as her word; the water stung but Noah gutted it out.

"Try to forget the pain," she said. "And here's a nice cookie for being a brave little fox."

Noah enjoyed the cookie so much he forgot about the pain in his leg. Then he lay back as Bellflower began to wash him clean.

"Are you the oldest?" asked Noah as she washed the fur on his head.

"Yes," said Bellflower. "I take care of all my siblings - especially Judy who is a cop on Zootopia. I hope she's alright after that night howler business."

"What's that?" asked Noah.

"Never mind, darling," replied Bellfower as she washed his ears. "You're too young to know such a thing, yet."

"So is this how you look after the others when your mommy and daddy are working?"

"Yes," she replied. "I'm thirty-two years old and I love this job and nothing more than to look after my own siblings - especially you Noah Sly, considering what a dumb bunny my daddy has been."

"He did say he was sorry."

"I know, cherry but even so. Foxes are beautiful predators to befriend. I should know."

"You were friends with a fox?" said Noah excitedly.

"Yes," said Bellflower proudly. "She was my best friend. Her name was Kimberly Redd. There wouldn't be a day we wouldn't stop thinking about each other. We were more like sisters than friends. A few years later, she told she was having a baby because of a boy fox's foolishness."

"How are babies made?" asked Noah.

"Um," said Bellflower awkwardly. "You'll know when you're older, sweetheart. But she left me a note saying that she had to travel alone as she had brought shame on her father and brother, that she loved me very much hand would never forget me."

She let a few tears stream down. "The police wouldn't find her since they thought foxes were savage back then."

"Don't cry, Miss Bellflower," said Noah. "At least you have another fox friend."

"That's true," said Bellflower wiping her tears away. "Every cloud has a silver lining but I will miss her forever. At least like you say I have you know. I promise you'll have no troubles to face with us around. Mom and Daddy sent a message to Judy saying where you are. They haven't responded but hopefully they will soon. Until then, we'll just get your leg up and running - and your appetite," she added as she tickled Noah's belly making him laugh.

Finally, she got him out of the bath and but a towel his size over him and rubbed him dry into a huge ball of fluff. She combed him which felt nice to him and they helped get his scout clothes back on.

At nightfall, they went for a walk, Noah on a crutch and his leg bandaged back up.

"Are we going to see the fox?"

"Gideon Grey," said Bellflower. "Yes. He wanted to know how you were doing."

They entered the same gates which worried Noah thinking about last night but knew he was with those to take care of him.

Bellflower knocked on the door and it was opened by the same fox Noah saw; he was wearing blue clothings and a white apron with his plump belly sticking out.

"Good evening, H. Senior," he chuckled. "And how are you doing, son?"

"A lot better now, sir," replied Noah shyly. "And thank you so much for helping me get better."

"My pleasure," smiled Gideon. "It makes me mad to see foxes muzzled like you were. Glad that dang thing is history. Care for a slice of blueberry cake?"

The both agreed, Noah the most eager. He remembered Nick giving some blueberries and he loved them more than any other food he could think of. Nick said he loved them just as much.

As they sat in the living room, Gideon served Noah a slice and sat next to him on the couch. Noah tucked in munching away.

"What an appetite," chuckled Gideon.

"I'll say," agreed Bellflower.

"I love blueberries," said Noah with his mouthful.

Gideon soon offered him another slice and he finished it quickly. Noah's belly wieighed him down. With a burp a slowly drifted off.

"He's so sweet when he's asleep," smiled Bellfower as she wiped the blueberry jam off his mouth and kissed his nose.

"Bellflower?" said Gideon. "I was thinking, maybe you should both stay here for the night. There could be a chance that those thieves might be arriving at night waiting to attack."

"Very kind, Giddy but no, I think we'll be fine. But I think Noah will have to spend the night. He's too heavy to pick up - even on cake. And I think he needs to stretch his legs a little bit."

"I'll take care of him," said Gideon. "Foxes stick together."

Noah awoke on the couch resting on a pillow. Sitting next to him was Gideon with a cup of tea. He turned to him and smiled.

"Nice sleep?"

"Yes thank you," said Noah. "I didn't know foxes could be anything."

"Of course they can," said Gideon with a chuckle. "I used to think different but the help I got helped me see clearly. I was a bully as a cub. The reason being having a lot of self-doubt and it manifested itself into a form of unchecked rage and aggression. But know I'm working happily as a fox feasts on chickens."

"I'm happy you changed," said Noah. "I was always told foxes are the worst savages and I was always muzzled at the orphanage. It's ran by a mean, nasty, horrible hippo called Mr. Mudway. He lawyers made us sleep on hard beds and gave us toast crumbs and water to eat. But ever since I escaped and came here, I see things so much differently."

"In Zootopia," said Gideon placing Noah on his lap. "Anyone can be anything."

"That's what Nick said to me," remembered the cub.

The watched the television for some time until eventually, Gideon fell asleep.

Noah began to drift off himself, but not before clinging to Gideon's tail and resting into his soft, plump belly. It felt as if Nick was there to keep him safe and warm yet again.

The Skipper watched the two foxes sleeping peacefully on the couch and thought "At least he has an other chance for a good life."

"Don't be so sure."

Skips gasped to see Alex behind him.

"What the fox are you doing here?" said Skips furiously.

"Mr. Fury wanted an extra," replied Alex. "He knew immediately where you went so he sent me to know the truth, The kid is still alive and we're once again in danger of being grassed on."

"I'm not failing him this time!" said Skips promisingly.

"You think I'm to be intimidated by a dumb bunny? Just stop me from telling Mr. Fury about him being alive."
