Katheryn POV
Once again I want to thank Omnitrix 12 for giving me this idea and now onto the story
Helping others is something you should always do even if what you do is something small. For that small thing always helps and meaningful to many mammals. No good deed goes unpunished even when it feels like its punished. For doing good is never wrong and no one should be punished or told wrong for doing good. I have been called out for posting good things I did and it was never about myself but telling others to help others. I would never set out to help others for my selfish gain for I'm not a selfish mammal. Well sometimes I am but we all are selfish sometimes for we all feel negative feelings.
I remember Grandmother Forster telling me about charity and helping others. Unlike the Icenhowler's she taught me the most and always believed in me. Unlike the Icenhowler's who never did and always faked believing in me. A parent should always believe in their kit and I will always believe in our kits. I won't treat them like how the Icenhowler's treated me. I will love our kits, unlike the no love I got from the Icenhowler's. For every kit deserves love and of course, I know all the love in the world not going to save some kits. Some kits are not right in the head and that's a sad fact. I have met a mammal-like that and only some believed he knew what he did was wrong. I'm one of them but thoughts about him are for another day. Thinking about back about my first memory of helping others and I was in kindergarten when it happened.
Grandmother Forester has told me all about being good and kind which also leads to helping others. Good and kind mammals always help others. I'm a good and kind vixen so I'll help others and I do want to help out others. Like I have helped getting supplies before school started. For we should be nice to mammals those Grandmother Forester also told me I don't have to be nice to others if they're not to me. Those I can't sink to their level and I'll try not too. I don't think I have to worry for I don't like being mean even pretend. For in lessens we have to be mean to others and how to deal with it. I just don't like using mean words for that's not me. I'll be a better mammal than mean mammals.
Today we're going to help other mammals with being fed for some mammals can go hungry. They go hungry for they don't have food to eat. Some mammals have little money and with little money, they can't buy food. I understand how that can happen for there's so much money and everyone should have money. There's food as well and everyone should have food. I think Grandmother tried explaining to me but I don't understand it. Some things she tells me I'll understand when I'm older and that makes sense.
"Alright remember how to make mac and cheese?" Marissa
"I totally do!" I say happily "I could do it with my eyes closed I believe."
"Next time you can find out," Marissa said
"Alright," I say
Grandmother Forester has taught me how to make mac and cheese. I do remember how to make it and it's not that difficult to make. I did want to learn how to make mac and cheese and my parents weren't going to teach me. Always saying one like me can't learn to cook and it's useless to try to teach me. Those they're wrong for I know how to make mac and cheese and I know how to make cookies even a cake. Grandmother Forester boiled the water and will watch over me. First thing first I pour in the noodles and we're making a big batch of mac and cheese. For a lot of mammals go hungry in Zootopia.
"Why don't my parents think I can't cook or do anything," I ask
"They have small minds when it comes to Autism." Marissa said, "Some mammals are like that."
Grandmother answered my next question without me asking her. Grandmother Forester smart like that and I hope someday I can do it as well. For something like that would be difficult for me to do. What Grandmother tells me makes sense but it also doesn't. How could someone have a small mind with something they know and understand. I stir the noodles so they don't get burned for burnt noodles don't taste good. Stirring the noodles for another eight minutes and Grandmother Forster drains as I finish.
"Do you think they're going to like it?" I ask
"They're going to love it," Marissa said
"I like that," I say
I whisk ½ cup of milk and flour in a bowl until there are no lumps. Grandmother takes out a pan and places it on top of the stove. Then I place the one cup on the pan and wait until see stream then I put in the flour milk as well. I wonder how that would taste probably bad like milk for I don't like the taste of milk. I hate the taste of strawberry and chocolate milk even those I love strawberries and chocolate other than dark chocolate. It's strange how milk comes from a plant. Just like how you can make milk from almonds. Then I begin to whisk will be cheese sauce.
"You're doing great," Marissa said
"Cooking so much fun," I say
"Yes, it is," Marissa said
Once the sauce is ready to turn to cheese Grandmother Forester changes the heat to low. I begin to add cheese and a bit of salt to the sauce. I begin to mix it and it slowly turns cheesy. A few moments later I take a spoon to taste it. Deciding a more cheese and a bit more salt so I do that. Getting another spoon and it tastes perfect. After that's done Grandmother puts the noddles inside a large bowl to serve. I slowly add the sauce and making sure all the noddles are cheesy goodness.
"All done with the first batch," I say happily
"You did very well," Marissa said, "everyone going to enjoy dinner tonight."
"That's so wonderful," I say
Everyone should enjoy mealtimes and everyone should have what they like to eat. Why waste food on someone who doesn't like certain foods. I have tried telling my parents that but they don't listen. Those right now I'm going to focus on helping others. For that's what I want to do at the moment. So once again I make the mac and cheese with Grandmother Forester help. After we finish making dinner we paw it out as well. A lot of mammals have come to enjoy a nice warm meal. Watching a fishing cat be next and she's not happy to see us.
"Just give me my food and I hope I don't get food poison," she said
"That's not possible for I didn't poison the food." I say "So you can't have food poisoning."
"Move along I'm starving."
I do know what poison is and that makes someone really sick. So much poison can kill someone. Knowing that because of flowers. Having this big book about flowers and understand it. Nerium Oleander is one of the most toxic flowers. Even a pretty flower can be poisonous like the Lily of the Valley. Cast Oil Pant is a deadly pant for one seed that can kill a kit like me. There's also Daieffendachia if eaten they make breathing difficult. Even a simple bush makes your fury all itchy or feels like you're burning. Hydrangeas cyanide those someone has to eat a lot of them to be deadly. Rhododendron and Azaleas are very toxic too and can cause death. A mammal was paralysis after eating one. There's even a toxic tree called Manchineel. Obviously with the name Deadly Nightshade is poisonous. Those rabbits and sheep can eat leaves without being affected. Water Hemlock is always one of the most deadly flowers. Even Mistletoe those that's been debated if mistletoe can kill. For most just kiss under it and don't eat it. Even with all that I still love nature. Poisonous and toxic flowers, plants, and trees don't scare me.
"Fine."
The mean mammal leaves without another world. I don't know why he was being so rude. For he's getting a free meal and he shouldn't be rude. Starving is another word for hungry and that means you're really hungry. I haven't been like that or hope that doesn't happen to me. The next mammal comes up.
"Thank you for this wonderful meal."
"You're welcome," I say happily
At least not everyone is a mean mammal and is happy to get food from us. Just like they should be for you should always be happy for the kindness that's given to you. It's so must fun to paw out food to those who are hungry. I can't wait to do this until the end of time. Knowing that Nick and Ienzo would enjoy doing this for they're good foxes.
I'm glad that Grandmother Forester told me all about that for the Icenhowler's sure didn't for me. But they sure did for Kaia. They were happy to teach her all that they knew and more. That treatment made me never hate Kaia for she didn't like it. Kaia could have been a spoiled brat with all that treatment but she never was for I was more important to her. I was glad to have while growing up for I always knew she had my back and I had hers.
All my life I always set out to help others even when I had little for what Grandmother Forester taught me. Of course, it's the same for Icenhowler's and with the little, they taught me. What they taught me has affected me greatly but that's thoughts for another day. Such thoughts won't leave me after what they did to me. But I won't let that weight me down. There are so many wonderful memories of me helping others and also there were moments in life I got help as well. Along with Nick when his family fell on hard times after his father's accident. Being a fox meant our family was poor and the Icenhowler's are lucky to have good jobs. I'm lucky that I never had to worry about being homeless, being hungry, or not having anything. I remember Nick telling me if his dad died or left they would have been homeless. Which makes sense for his tailor business makes good money. I was part of Success for Young Mammals while growing up. Which is a charity that helps give out supplies to those who needed it. The program didn't discriminate against species or if you were predator or prey. Even hybrids which is a rare sight indeed for they stand by everyone should have the chance to be successful. I'm so glad for that program and will always support it. For its not greedy charity like so many others. All the donated money goes to supplies and schools instead of a CEO pocket. Which is so sad and I hate that mammals can be so greedy.
I'm finally going to school and it's going to be so great. I have been waiting to go to school for the longest time. Hearing about school it sounds great and Grandmother made sure that I was ready for school. My parents don't believe in me much but I know Kaia would if she was older. Grandmother Forester believes so that's good news.
Today we're going to get my supplies and backpack a nice charity going to help us out. They give out backpacks and supplies to those who need it. My family is poor so we need it and I'm going to thank them for giving my backpack and supplies. My parents are taking me to get my backpack and supplies.
"So I can choose my backpack?" I ask
"Well if it's on the kindergarten spot," Candace said
"I'm in kindergarten," I say
I can't wait to have my first school backpack for I never had one before. It's going to be great to have a backpack. Heading over to the building where I'm going to get my supplies. It's the same building that has meals for those who need it. There are also other charities that they do here. So we'll be heading over to the dinner area or around it for that's what I have been told. Heading inside the building and see that Mrs. Jodie Bloom is hanging out in the front area of the building. She's a nice gazelle that helps out with charities that happen in this building. She's the same age as my parents and has her own family. Grandmother Forster told me about her and I can't wait to help out for Grandmother Forester told me about helping others. I have to wait until I'm older to help out and Grandmother so wise.
"We're here to get our daughter her school supplies," Martian said
"You must be the Forester's and it's you'll get her supplies in the dining area." Jodie said, "I hope to see you again Katheryn."
"I hope so too," I say
Skipping ahead of my parents those I'm not very good at it. I read the sign for school supplies so I follow it. Stopping when I see other kits and there's a line. Those I don't mind that for I can wait. There are kits my age too so I can have friends. It will be so nice to have friends for I don't have any. In school, I'm going to have many friends. I talk to a
"Hello, my name is Katheryn Forester, and do you want to be friends?" I ask
"No, you're too weird."
She turns around and heads in front of her mother. I guess that means she doesn't want to talk to me. I don't know why she doesn't it makes no sense. It hurt when she told me, no and I wonder why that hurt. I still don't get emotions but Grandmother Forester told me that I will someday and she's so wise.
I don't think much about wait happened for the line move quickly. So I will get my first backpack in a few minutes which I'm so excited. I can't wait to see backpacks I can choose from. The line moves again after a few moments and I see the dining room. Seeing that it's full of backpacks and there's so many.
"If there's a flower one I will have it." I say "For I love flower so much or yellow backpack. Oh, there's Mickey Mickey Mouse also stars."
I know what style of a backpack I want its flowers, yellow, Mickey Mouse, or stars. For that's four things that I love so much. One of those four would be the perfect backpack for kindergarten. The line moves forward again and I'm closer to getting my backpack.
"It's just a bag Katheryn not important," Candace said
"Yes it is important for having a backpack means I'm a student," I say
"Well you won't like school for kits won't treat you nice," Martian said
"Maybe some for kits can be mean but not all of them." I say "I want to learn and make friends."
I don't know why my parents are being silly about school. I want to go to school even when it will be difficult. Also by law, I have to go to school if they're not going to home school me. The line moves forward and I enter the room. Seeing the backpack up closer and there's so many to choose from. I head over to the table for kindergartens spot. There's a young cheetah at that spot and he looks to be a teenager.
"Pick your bag and move on."
"Can I test them out?"
"Fine."
So I look over the backpacks and I don't see what I want. So I just grab one instead and it won't be pink. I put it on and it feels strange but not in a bad way but I don't like it. But it's something I have to get used too. I walk around it a circle it's not so bad but not what thought I was going to be.
"Katheryn takes a backpack you won't find one that feels right for you're different," Candace said
"Alright," I say
Placing the backpack back and I guess it doesn't matter what backpack I have as long as it's not pink. Looking around and I strap catches my eyes. It's under other backpacks but I can choose whatever I want. So I carefully take off the backpacks and find the one with the strap I found. Seeing that it's a
star bag like my camera bag. I let a happy voice and clap my paws.
"Katheryn that's immature of you," Martian said
"I find it sweet and I was like that when I was your age. I found sweet Supermammal backpack."
Taking my star backpack and place on my left side. Now this feels like I dreamed. I turn over to my parents and have a big smile on my face. Grandmother going to love this so much.
"Oh take a photograph!" I say happily
"Fine," Candace said
I do know some superheroes and find Supermammal to boring but I don' tell the teenager that for he still a fan. This time I don't let out a happy cheer but still clap. I head away from the teenage boy for not everyone wants to be in a photograph. Still having my big smile and I get into a nice position and my mother takes a photograph of me. Photographs and cameras are so great.
"Oh, where do I get my supplies?" I ask
"Out in the hallway,"
"Got it and thank you!" I say
"You're welcome."
I skip ahead and I can't wait to get my supplies. Of course, it's stuff I have used before but not for school. I hope to have a yellow notebook even those if use one a lot the metal piece stabs me for being a lefty. Seeing another teenager and this time it's a girl. So I head over to her.
"I'm a kindergartner and how did you get so many supplies?" I ask
"Kindergarten coming right up," she said, "well other mammals are very nice and donate supplies that they brought so others who can't buy supplies can have them for their kits."
"Oh, that's so nice of them to do," I say
Grandmother Forester told me about that and it would be what she that's charity. For a charity is a program that helps others like me. In which I find so neat for everyone needs help sometimes. Also nothing wrong with getting help. Someday I'll help others and I hope those I help will help others too. For that's what Grandmother Forester calls a ripple. Grandmother right because she's so wise. I want to create many ripples for I want to help as many mammals as I can.
"Yes it is and let's gather your supplies." she said, "We're going to play a game."
"Oh games are fun well not math games but finding games are fun," I say
"That's true." she said, "alright first you're going to find a pencil box."
I look over at the pencil boxes and there's a bunch to choose from. They're mostly the same but I do find one with pretty butterflies. I do love butterflies for they're so beautiful. The teenager smiles and I place the pencil box on the ground next to my backpack. For pencil grips, I chose sparkly yellow ones. I'll have to get used to using color pencils for I crayons are my favorite and markers are good. For erasers, I take colorful ones. I also take a yellow sharper and purple glue sticks. Also, take yellow scissors. Taking yellow and flower flowers. I also take tissues with a flower box. I'll have a yellow, flower, and colorful notebooks. Having yellow pencils and construction papers as well and now I have all my supplies. After the game, I place everything in my backpack and it's a bit heavy but I'll get used to it.
"That was so much fun," I say
"It was and I hope you have good school year," she said
"Thank you and the same for you," I say
Another new kindergartner will come to get their supplies. So skip ahead and others are getting their supplies. Even other foxes are getting their supplies. I give them a wave and they wave right back at me. Young Minds for Success is a wonderful charity when I'm much older I'll help them out so I can help young minds be successful.
I did never forget that feeling and kept the promise I made to myself. I wanted to help others like Kaia and I were helped out with getting school supplies. I have brought many supplies throughout the years and more so this year. It's the same with Nick and our friends. For all kits and teenagers deserve supplies so they can be successful in school. No matter who they are they deserve to be successful just like a rich kit. Those life not always fair and Young Minds for Success tries to make it fairer. So that's something we'll always support. So that's Nick, Kaia, Mackenzie, Dawn, Skye, Ienzo, Kami, and Serenity are helping out today. Nick and I will be helping with backpacks and they'll be helping with supplies. It has been going well and we have been enjoying our time. Serenity and I will also give them for photography if they want it. The majority of kits do and are excited about it. Older kits have gotten photographs and a few teenagers have as well.
"Hello, young one what are you looking for?" Nick asked
"A blue backpack."
"Great choice and we have many blue backpacks left," Nick said
"Yappy!"
I smile that that and Nick has been doing great with going to be kindergartners. Always kind to them even when their parents are harsh. Hoping that kits don't turn out to be bigots like their parents. For bigotry is taught. Watching the young gentlemammal chose a light backpack.
"Do you want a photograph?" I ask
"Oh, I do want one."
I just love seeing smiles on mammal's faces before taking a photograph. For everyone has lovely smiles and I take out my Polaroid camera. She gets into a nice photography position and I take her photograph. Giving her the photograph a few moments later.
"Oh, that's so cool."
"It truly is and have a great school year."
"Thank you!"
Watching the young gentlemammal head off and to get his supplies. He's going to enjoy the little game they have. I still think it's a great idea and kits enjoy it. Seeing a young female Iberian wolf walk over to my table. She was one of the kits in Ms. Wulf's photograph and she would be in fifth grade for she was the leader of the heroes. She has hazel eyes and pink glasses. Wearing a Wonder Woman tank tup and blue shirts.
"You were at the photography gallery so you must be a photographer."
"Yes I was and also yes I am a photographer I run a business with my husband. My name is Katheryn and what's your name?"
"Liliana Sage," Liliana said
"Lovely name and I would guess you want a Wonder Woman backpack," I say
"I totally do!" Liliana said happily
Young Minds for Success made sure that superheroes and villains were in high demand for they're popular right now. For a good amount of superhero movies have come out. The Marvel universe has a good amount of movies in its timeline of movies. There's going to be a lot of movies and I think that's a great idea. I do love watching movies with a story that continues with each movie. A superhero fan Nick going to watch them all in theaters, not a huge fan myself but I enjoy the time with him. I take out a few styles of Wonder Woman backpacks. Liliana looks at them closely and I know she has picked out the perfect one.
"Wonder Woman is a great superhero," I say
"Yes she is and Wonder Woman my favorite superhero," Liliana said, "do you have a favorite hero?"
"Captain Zootopia or Captain America for they're a soldier and shouldn't forget real heroes." I say "I also like Thor, Wonder Woman, Storm,
"Oh he's a great hero," Liliana said, "Oh yes that's very true."
Not being a major fan of superheroes I don't have a strong favorite of superheroes. But I do like the captains for wonderful heroes to look up to. Both are loyal wolves and Captain Zootopia a strong female wolf just like Wonder Woman is. Good friends with Captain America for they both served the army and have the same powers. Both having shields but they're different styles. Looking up at Nick and I listed two of his favorite heroes. Like with me in certain choices he can't decide his favorite.
"How long have you been a photography model?" I ask
"Since I been in first grade for Madelyn Wulf has been a family friend for longer than I been alive." Liliana
"You must love modeling for photography," I say
"I love it so much and I can't wait for my next one!" Liliana said "Madelyn doing a back to school one."
Also seeing that makes me happy for the photography world is so great. I was always excited and happy to be in a photograph. I would have been so happy to be a photography model. Of course, I wouldn't have been chosen for many reasons the model world can be so harsh. I'm glad that it's working out for Liliana. Seeing that she chooses the one in the middle.
"That's wonderful to hear and I do the same." I say "How about a photograph from me?"
"That would be cool too," Liliana said
"I love that," I say
I always love hearing about others wanting a photograph from me. For that's what I photographer wants to hear. Nick looks over at me and he smiles. Liliana has a wonderful hero position and she has such passion in her eyes and smile. Once again such passion many don't find. Taking out my Polaroid camera and snapping the photograph and giving it to her moments later.
"I never have seen a Polaroid in action before," Liliana said, "it's a cool camera."
"Yes, it is and have a great school year," I say
"Thank you and I will," Liliana said
Watching her walk off with a happy step in her walk. I hope this school year goes well for her. Knowing that she doesn't have to worry like some but bullying can happen to anyone. I have been enjoying this a lot and it's great that we're helping others. Looking back at Nick and see that he's has a gentlemammal young tiger looking at backpacks.
"What does this young gentlemammal for his first backpack," Nick asked
"I like princesses but I shouldn't."
"There's nothing wrong with gentlemammal liking princess or girly things just like it's not wrong for women to like boy things. Those are just labels to divide us. I love wearing pink but my wife hates it and pink a girly color." Nick said "If someone tells you otherwise they're wrong age just a number too. You can like princesses even when you get old.
"Old like you."
Nick's reaction being called old by a five-year-old is the best and I snap a photograph. His face is like you ate all the blueberries. Oh, the naivety of a kit and not understand how age work. Thinking young adults as old even when you're not. Moments later Nick has a smile on his face and lets out a laugh.
"I'm not old but laughing fun," Nick said, "There's a great princess backpack with all the currently princesses."
"Oh, I like that a lot."
Nick heads back to the backpacks and takes out the one he was talking about. We all have a lot of princess stuff for they're popular as well. Cinderella is still my favorite princess those I do also love Merida. Watching the young gentlemammal happily accept his backpack.
"Remember if others make fun of you for liking princess they're wrong and you're not." Nick said, "Many mammals don't like mammals who are different or like things that different but they're always wrong."
"Okay, I got it."
Watching the young tiger gentlemammal head over to me and I give him a photograph as well. Watching him walk off as well and his parent target behind him. I see smiles on their faces and they're please with what Nick did. I turn over to Nick and he gives me his playful smirk.
"See you did have a fatherly moment." I say "I especially love your wounded pride moment. It was so adorable."
He's going to be a great father like I'm going to be a great mother. Soon we'll foster kits and someday we'll adopt too. Someday we'll have kits of own and we decided to have blended family of foxes. That will be so wonderful to have. Holding up the photograph and he playfully tries to get it. Of course like the gentlemammal he is Nick is being careful about it.
"You wound me, Shutterbug," Nick said, "those I do admit that's a great photograph of me. You got my good side."
"According to you and well me, all your sides are good," I say
Both of us laugh a few moments later and Nick kisses me on the cheek. I kiss on the cheek as well and we break apart a few moments later. A few moments a gazelle no Gazelle walks over to us. I did realize she was volunteering and she's the only one to reach out to us. Seeing that someone else has taken her spot we all have time and ours will be up shortly.
"Mammals are wrong about foxes and I wish bad stereotypes would go away for all mammals but we live in a broken world. But mammals like us can show it's not completely broken and we can fix it." Gazelle said, "I just love how you two are great with kits and showing them it's alright to be different and nothing is wrong with them. We need more mammals like you for it makes the world a better place."
"Thank you, Gazelle and I learned from the best," Nick said
"Thank you, Miss Gazelle and I have seen you do the same." I say "You're going to have the most wonderful career."
"Thank you and it's what I love to do most. I enjoy singing and dancing but helping and standing up for others is my true passion." Gazelle said, "Speaking of passion I would love for you to be my main photographer Katheryn and Serenity too. Of course, only if you want too. I just love how you view photography and it reminds me of myself."
"I would love too!" I say happily "I'm sure that Serenity will as well."
"That's fantastic and I would enjoy a photograph with you and me from your Polaroid camera." Gazelle said, "It's been forever seen I had one like that."
"Okay!" I say happily
This is one of the greatest photography moments I have ever had. First Bunnyburrow as chosen our company for event photographers and now Gazelles wants me to be one of her main photographers. Being in the photography field has worked out so great for me
and I'm so glad about that. We get into a nice position and I snap two photographs one for Gazelle and another for me.
"Such passion and thank you, Katheryn," Gazelle said
"It's part of who I am and you're welcome Gazelle," I say
She paws me her card and I do the same. I place her card and photograph in a special place in my camera bag. Watching her walk off and adults whisper about what just happen. Gazelle is what I thought she was going to be like. Oh, I can't wait to tell our loved ones about what happened. They're going to be so happy for me jealous too but that's a natural feeling. I know I would feel jealous I was in their position.
"I just became a major fan of hers," Nick said, "I love seeing you so happy."
"You're so sweet," I say
Nick smiles at me and blows me a kiss and I catch it. Both of us head back to the tables we're volunteering at and getting back to focus for more young kits is coming. So we paw out more backpacks and enjoying our time. In between pawing out backpacks, I see my sister and friends enjoying their time helping others out. They take great photographs and Skye and Ienzo are enjoying their time together. I'm so glad we're all help and good mammals. I hope for success for each kit that we help and also we don't help. For everyone has the right to be successful and we all need help to get that way. I just wish more mammals see that volunteering and helping others is one of the most wonderful things we can do for each other. If we all do so this dark world would have much more light.
Auhtor note, I hope you enjoyed reading and reviewing this story. For like always enjoy writing stories. Again I thank Omnitrix 12 giving me the idea of charity to help kids with school. So you found out what Young Minds for Success is. I'm thankful for charities/programs like that for they're lifesavers and I know for a fact. Like with Katheryn/Kaia I have help like that and I'm glad for it. I still have a bag that I got from the charity. I hope someday I will return the favor and help kids like I was helped. As you can tell Katheryn a very charitable mammal and doing a storyline makes perfect sense. Also it continues the storyline for them. This takes place 2014 so superheroes and Marvel would be popular. I find superheroes alright and overall I like batman the most and Captain America and Thor are favorites too. But I do like X Men too. I don't own the rights those characters but Captain Zootopia is my own. I can imagine the city having it's own superhero. Gazelle will be place a good role in this universe for I love her character and so more too that. Next time readers and reviewers it's back the the beginning for it's their wedding story. So until next time readers and reviewers
