Greetings everyone, do you want to know more of where that vision of the city's disaster? Well wonder no more as its time for:

FTF Chapter 11: Calm after the Storm

"Oh my god…" Bonnie whispered, her eyes wide with horror at the ZNN news report playing on the television. It was chaos everywhere throughout the streets of Zootopia: streets flooded, buildings destroyed, fires burning, mammals running screaming and the mayor reported dead, along with hundreds of others. Beside her Stu was weeping, his face in his paws, and several of his relatives were doing the same as they watched the disaster. Otto sat nearby not crying, but looking on grimly with his cane tightly clutched in his paws.

The Sandleford rabbits, save for Pimpernel and Pipkin who was being comforted by Blackberry in another room, also looked on with horror at the news, witnessing their second natural disaster within the space of a week, and only lingering numbness from all the other terrors they had endured in that week prevented them from breaking down as well. Hazel clutched his brother tightly who kept sobbing and mumbling.

"The blood, the blood Hazel!" Fiver sobbed.

"Omygawd," Bonnie repeated, her paws clapped over her mouth. "Omygawd – JUDY!" She grabbed her phone from her pocket and immediately started dialing. She put the phone to her ear, trembling.

"Hi you're speaking to Judy Wilde. Sorry I'm not able to reach you but leave a message and I can get back to you as soon as I'm finished my daily duty of making the world a better place!"

"Damn!" Bonnie hung up, and immediately redialled. She called back 3 more times without any success.

"Bonnie, what's wrong?" asked Stu.

"Stu, Judy isn't answering her phone!" screamed Bonnie.

"Calm down dear!" Stu exclaimed. "She- she's gotta be busy! You know our Jude – al-always has to help!" He could barely keep himself from breaking down further. Nearby, other Hopps rabbits were getting out their phones, likely attempting to contact Judy as well.

"I'm trying Nick!" Bonnie redialled her phone, but she hung up with a frustrated snarl when all she got was his voicemail. Then desperately she tried a third number, and really did cry when this one didn't work. "I – I can't even get Robyn's voicemail!" Bonnie wailed and sobbed into Stu's shirt.

Robyn… Fiver remembered that name, and his eyes widened with epiphany. And worry.

"Great Frith, that disaster is horrific!" Holly yelled shaking. The footage was giving him flashes of the war. "Oh no, no no!" He nearly collapsed until Bigwig caught him.

"Holly calm down, you're fine!" shouted Bigwig. "This is not the battlefield!" He steered Holly over to the nearest available chair and had him sit down. Holly put his head between his knees, breathing hard trying to calm himself down. Otto patted him on the shoulder in sympathy.

"Mrs. Bonnie…" Fiver suddenly spoke up quietly, "Is Robyn your granddaughter?"

Bonnie's ears shot up, and she turned to Fiver, her eyes wide with worry. "…Yes."

"Does she… does she look like an orange hare? With fangs?"

Bonnie's gasped, "YES!" And suddenly she ran over and grabbed Fiver by the arms, desperately staring into his eyes, "What do you know? TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT MY GRANDDAUGHTER!"

Fiver was startled, but he knew Bonnie wasn't trying to harm him, she just needed answers. "I – I get these visions sometimes…" he started.

"Yes, I know! Your brother told me about it while you were out! I didn't know if I believed it, but if you know something about Robyn or Judy or anybody please tell me!" Bonnie was almost hysterical now, and nearly every rabbit in the room was now watching her accosting Fiver.

"Mrs. Bonnie, please calm down!" Hazel jumped in. "Sit down, please, and Fiver can explain!"

Forcing herself to take deep breaths, Bonnie managed to let go of Fiver and slowly moved over to the couch, where a rabbit moved out of the way so she could sit next to Stu. Fiver gulped as he stood before them; he didn't know what to say, especially since his vision had ended before he could see Robyn's fate:

"I… I had this vision that I was in Zootopia, just before the flood hit. I was in a street, and it was like everything was frozen, I was the only one who could move. Then suddenly someone yelled, "Robyn!" and everything was back to normal, and I saw this girl… she looked like a black and white vixen with stripes and big ears, she called the name Robyn. Her eyes were bleeding…" Fiver choked a little as he remembered the blood, and Bonnie gasped.

"Hannah…" she whispered.

"Yes, that was her name!" Fiver answered. "Then Robyn – if that was your Robyn – she went to Hannah's aid, and then this wave started coming down the street towards them and they ran! They couldn't hear me or anything, but I followed. They ran into this convenience store or something, and ran up a bunch of stairs. But the door to the roof was locked, and water was rising, and then…" Fiver stuttered, "And – and then I woke up! I didn't see what happened to them – they were hurt, but alive! I don't know…" Fiver then broke down, sobbing as he realized that the girls he saw might be dead. Hazel hugged Fiver in comfort, and Silver joined in as well.

"Fiver…" said Bonnie. Fiver looked at her, "Y-yes?" Bonnie showed him a picture on her phone: "Was this them?"

Fiver gasped. It was a picture of Robyn and Hannah no more than a year before, standing arm in arm somewhere on the Hopps compound wearing Christmas sweaters.

"Yes – yes that's them," Fiver managed.

Bonnie's jaw trembled, her paw shook and she dropped her phone, and she burst into tears. She buried her face in her paws, sobbing at the possible fate of her granddaughter, Robyn the survivor. Stu held her but couldn't hold himself back any longer, and several of their relatives in the room moved in to hold them and cry with them. The Sandleford group, realizing that this was not their place, quietly moved out of the room and started for the passageway back to the guesthouse.

"Oh Frith, did my visions upset them too much?" Fiver sighed sadly as they moved through the tunnel.

"I'm afraid so, Fiver, but this isn't your fault," Hazel said sadly. "You can't control these visions of yours, you owed it to them to tell them what you saw."

"That - that wasn't like any vision I ever had before," Fiver said quietly. "You know I've never gone unconscious like that - I wonder what was so special about those girls."

"Bonnie's granddaughter, it can't be just a coincidence," said Blackberry. "If I may, I'd like to examine you a little when we get back to the house - you may be in delayed shock."

"Okay Blackberry but this is so scary," Fiver shivered at the thought of the two helpless girls running for their lives in his vision. "How could such a dark fate cause so much suffering and torment me to the point of fainting?"

"None of us can ever know what the world decides to inflict upon us Lad," Bigwig commented. "Let's just pray to Frith they survive."

They climbed the stairs to the guest house and entered their new home. Everybody sauntered into the living room and just sat down, not sure what to do.

"Bigwig, can you please put Pipkin to bed?" Blackberry requested, "I need to have a look at Fiver."

"Sure thing, Blackberry," Bigwig agreed. He held Pipkin's little paw, "Come on Lad, bedtime."

"Don' wanna go to bed…" Pipkin cried, still in shock over the events of the evening.

Blackberry went up to him and knelt down to hold his cheeks in her paws, looking into his face: "Pipkin, Sweetie, I know it's bad, but you're safe. We're all safe here, you mustn't forget that," she assured him. "We couldn't stop that wave from happening any more than we could stop the swirling wind, but those who can help the survivors are helping now as we speak."

"*Sniff*, can we do anything to help…?" Pipkin asked softly.

Blackberry was deeply touched by Pipkin's compassion, but she sadly shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't know," she answered honestly. "But I know we can't help when we're all tired like this. For now, you should go to bed. You'll feel better in the morning, I promise." Then she kissed Pipkin on the head, and Bigwig picked him up to carry him upstairs to bed.

"Come on Fiver, let's have a look at you…" Blackberry sat Fiver on the couch for a few minutes, checking his vitals and asking him some questions.

"Is he alright?" Hazel asked anxiously.

"He doesn't seem to have any erratic heartbeats or twitches," Blackberry answered. "He seems to be fine, just overtired now."

"Oh, thank Frith," Hazel smiled and he took him into his arms tightly. "I think Blackberry's right, Fiver, you should go to bed. You've had a very long day."

"Don't know if I'll ever be able to sleep, with that vision still in my head," Fiver moaned.

"You won't know until you try, but if you really can't sleep then come wake me, I'll keep you company," Hazel promised.

Somewhat reluctantly Fiver stood up and gave his brother a kiss on the head, "Thanks. Goodnight Hazel."

"Goodnight Fiver," said Blackberry, standing up to give him a kiss of her own. Fiver blushed, whispered a quiet goodnight to her and then made his way over to the stairs.

Around the rest of the lower floor a strong quiet then seemed to settle in, with the doom and gloom that they had seen on the news still fresh on everybody's minds. Everyone was tense, and nobody else felt like going to bed.

"So what do we do now, Hazel?" Hana asked. "Do we go to bed, or do we wait up for news from Bonnie and Stu?"

Hazel sighed. "...I don't know. We're not family, so we're the last people here that they'll tell. I suppose we should just go to bed."

"Suit yourself, I won't sleep a wink until I know what's happened to their relatives in Zootopia," said Bluebell.

"And me," said Violet.

"And me," said Buckthorn.

Hazel had to admit, he felt the same way. "…Fine," He muttered. "We'll wait a while. Does anyone know if there are any games around here?"

"Yeah, I found some in that old sideboard earlier," said Acorn, pointing at a nearby cabinet. He went over to it and pulled out a few old board games and decks of cards.

Up in his room, it took Fiver over an hour to get to sleep. He tossed and turned for a long time before slipping into an uneasy dream where there was more flooding, more fires and more screaming, making Fiver whimper in his sleep, before the dream suddenly stopped and his mind was taken over by something else:

BEEEEEEEEEEEP!

A sudden alarm went off, and with a jolt Fiver found himself in some sort of hospital room, like the one Hazel had been in. Everything was frozen again, allowing him view of his surroundings. There were lots of foxes and a few rabbits in this room: two red foxes in their sixties were standing off to the side, their faces filled with concern. An arctic vixen was holding onto to a grey rabbit with black stripes, overlooking another vixen in a hospital bed, whom with a jolt Fiver recognized as Hannah.

Then with a bigger jolt he saw, and recognized, Officers Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, their faces fraught with worry. And then there were two more foxes: a bespectacled one in nurse scrubs, and a young vixen in a doctor's coat standing over another bed. Fiver moved just a little to look, and gasped in shock: it was Robyn on the bed.

BEEEEEEEEEEEP!

The alarm went off again, and suddenly everything was chaos as everyone started moving again.

"SHIT!" swore the vixen in the doctor's coat, "Daz, defibrillator, now!" she yelled at the fox in nurse scrubs, who wheeled a strange-looking machine over.

"What's going on!?" Hannah wailed. "Come on Robbie, don't do this," the vixen begged as she started giving Robyn chest compressions while Daz applied sticky pads that attached from Robyn to the machine he had brought over.

"NO ROBYN!" Judy wailed as Nick held her back.

"What's happened to Robyn?" Fiver screamed but no one could hear him as if he were invisible. It felt as if he were in a state of torture where he wanted to help out yet he was a ghost.

"Stand clear of the patient." a robotic voice suddenly spoke from the machine, and Fiver watched in horror as a BUZZ was heard and the machine did something and suddenly Robyn's body gave a start and twitched, but she didn't wake up. Daz then started applying more chest compressions while the vixen grabbed a syringe filled with milky white stuff and stuck it into a tube in Robyn's arm.

"Don't you die on me Robbie!" the vixen screamed as she pressed down on the plunger.

"Stand clear of the patient." Fiver instinctively stood back, there was another BUZZ, Robyn's body suddenly bolted up and swung a fist- And then Fiver awoke with a start.

00000000000000000000

"What in Frith's name was that?" Fiver gasped. He was back in his room at the Hopps family home guesthouse, covered with sweat and panting. It had felt like another vision – had Robyn survived then? Who were those elder foxes in their sixties, and the arctic vixen and that gray bunny with black stripes? His tired mind swam with new questions.

Suddenly Fiver realized he could hear voices downstairs, and then footsteps in the hall. The knob in Fiver's door slowly turned, and somebody opened it a crack. An orange and brown head poked in – it was Hazel.

"Fiver?" Hazel looked surprised at seeing his brother awake, "Fiver, I was just going to wake you. Bonnie's here – she has good news!"

Fiver's heart leapt as he jumped out of bed and followed Hazel into the hallway. Several other rabbits dressed in their pajamas were also coming out of their rooms, beckoned by Bigwig and Holly who were dressed in their day clothes. Fiver and the others went downstairs, where they saw Acorn and Speedwell talking to Bonnie and Stu. There was a monopoly board and a scattered bunch of cards on the nearby dining table.

"Hey, it's Fiver and Hazel!" Stu smiled. "Bonnie has got good news for you!"

"Hope it's good – we were up half the night worrying!" yawned Bluebell.

Fiver felt a bit nervous as he got close to Bonnie feeling a bit scared from her grabbing him yesterday but once he got near her, she smiled warmly now.

"Fiver, I do want to apologize yesterday from startling you," Bonnie began. "I was so scared for my family in the city that I was desperate for any news, even from a psychic vision."

"I can understand Bonnie," Fiver replied. "My brother and I know about loss, and the struggles of family members in trouble. But you have good news to tell us?"

"Yes – everyone!" Bonnie called out, and the Sandleford group went quiet. "Judy called me around midnight last night – she and her husband are both okay. My granddaughter Robyn and her friend Hannah were hurt, but they gave them some sort of experimental treatment that saved their lives, and they're both going to be okay!"

Everybody cheered, especially Fiver, who was so relieved to hear the outcome of the vision he had had in his sleep. That must have been what he had seen the vixen do with the syringe – give Robyn the experimental treatment.

"Bonnie - is Robyn special to your family in a certain way?" Hazel inquired. "Many of us know how worrisome it can be to possibly lose a loved one but yesterday, you seemed especially worried for Robyn. Is there a particular reason for it?"

Bonnie sighed sadly. "…All my family is important to me. My children, my grandchildren, my brothers and sisters and husband. But Robyn is… special." She then held up a framed picture that the other group hadn't noticed before, and gave it to Hazel to pass around. Fiver gasped a little as he saw it: it was a picture of Nick and Judy, and Robyn who looked a few years younger, and next to them was the vixen doctor he recognized from his last vision.

"That is Nick, Judy, Robyn and her sister Luna," Bonnie explained. "Nick had Luna from a previous relationship and after her mother died Judy and Nick took her in. Robyn… is their biological daughter. Together."

There was gasps and murmuring from several members of the group.

"A fox and a bunny, having a kit together? Impossible!" stated Bigwig.

"No, just very, very improbable," Bonnie replied. "A year after they got together Judy became pregnant with Robyn, and 3 other sons," her voice trembled a little, "The boys died at birth, Robyn was the only survivor."

There was another sharp intake of breath from the group, and Fiver felt himself especially begin to well up. The only survivor of a litter… that struck a nerve with him.

"Mrs. Bonnie?" he asked, was-" He wasn't quite sure what to ask, "Is Hannah a rabbit-fox hybrid as well?"

This time Bonnie and Stu were the ones to be startled.

"Why – yes. Her parents are a rabbit and vixen; their names are Jack and Skye and they're Nick and Judy's best friends. How did you know that?" Stu asked.

"I – I had another vision while I was asleep, just before we came downstairs," Fiver answered. "I, um, saw Robyn and Hannah in a hospital room. Nick and Judy were there, and another rabbit-fox couple that looked like Hannah."

Gasps came from all around.

"A hospital?" Bonnie cried. "Robyn and Hannah were in there! You saw Hannah and my granddaughter in the hospital in a vision?"

"Y-Yes, Hannah looked okay but Robyn… she nearly died," Fiver answered, "Her machine beeped, and they used this other machine to try to resuscitate her, a de… frilibator? I'm sorry, I don't know what it's called."

"A defibrillator," Holly answered.

"Yes that's what… Luna called it," Fiver continued, remembering the name of the vixen that Bonnie had mentioned, "The machine wasn't working, so Miss Luna injected Robyn with something and then they tried the defibrillator again, and I woke up."

Bonnie and Stu's mouths both hung open in shock, very similar to how they had looked when Fiver had told them about his vision of the wave.

"Yes… that's pretty much how Judy described it," Bonnie stated. "…These visions of yours are true."

An awkward silence hung in the air for a moment, neither party sure of what to make of Fiver's latest round of visions, before Hazel spoke up:

"So… what now?" he asked.

"Hmm?" Stu looked confused at the question, "What do you mean, what now?"

"I mean, are we still hired? Do you still need us?" Hazel asked cautiously.

"Yes, of course, why ever would we not now?" Stu asked.

"Well, with all that's all that's just happened I thought you might need a break or something, maybe go out to visit your daughter," Hazel reasoned.

"Oh, my boy," Stu put his paw on Hazel's shoulder, "What happened in Zootopia was horrible, no question, but our family there is safe and the farm work goes on. We all still need to eat, after all!" He patted Hazel's shoulder, "In fact, today I'm going to a town meeting with some other farmers about this – we may be able to help Zootopia recover."

"How..?" Hazel asked in a whisper, "If there's any way to help Zootopia, you can bet we're all in!"

"Fantastic!" said Stu. "Good, I'll let you know after I get home from the meeting, and I'll start you working tomorrow. Meanwhile, you all just get settled, you'll find breakfast ready in the dining hall!" He took his wife's paw, "Come on Bonnie, we've got so much to do!" and the couple went into the closet with the stairs and closed the door behind them.

"Alright!" Hazel clapped his paws and faced the group, "Everybody go get dressed, and let's go eat! I know I'm hungry!"

"You all heard 'im, on to the mess hall!" ordered Bigwig.

"Bigwig, your throat!" Blackberry chided him. "Holly, do you think the Hopps family can loan us a car? I want to see about going into town today, we need some of our own groceries…"

Fiver perked up at those words, for he had just been thinking about wanting to go into town himself. These latest visions of his… they still haunted him, but they were connected, and he knew they were important somehow. And if he was going to make any sense of them, he needed to keep a record.

He needed a journal.

Great Frith, Zootopia is in terrible shape from the tsunami and Fiver continues having more visions related to Bonnies family! How will this all play out?

Next chapter, the Sandleford lot settle into day 1 of their farm work but a terrible accident occurs there! You'll have to wait to find out who it is!
