Chapter 6: Street Tiger II Turbo

A/N: There has been some concern over Spots going straight and how I'm handling it. Her full arch into whether she'll be with Rose or James will be revealed in "Invasion of the Bunny Scratchers" which will happen after the short story "Castles and Dragons" after this current arc. Her story will be the sub plot while the main story follows Nick and Judy.

I just wanted to say, I'm doing everything I can to make sure this is done with care, maturity and respect. As you can tell from the fact that I have quite a few gay characters in these stories, I'm no homophone. In fact, one of Wilde's other children may be going the other way and becoming gay. But with Spots, I started to enjoy her chemistry with James and thought it would be interesting if he started to have an affect on her. This lead me to come up with a backstory for that upcoming arc that explains how she became the way she is now. It explores whether her feelings of love are hormonal or mental and that in the end, it doesn't really matter. Love is love. So stay tuned for that story in the near future.

I'm taking out the summary's as they are kind of a spoiler and I mainly use them as a guide before I write the chapter. I'll still be writing them in for myself, but taking them out before I go to print.

10:45am At Nick's Restaurant

Nick finally had a break from all the chaos and crowds as he was currently out of pamphlets until Spots got back. It was then that Terry arrived in her wheelchair with Sarah on her lap.

"Terry!" Nick said. "How's everything? How come you're not at home? Isn't Duke and his workers working on the bedroom in your house?"

"They are." Terry replied. "But I can't just stay cooped up in there all day. Besides, he seems trustworthy." She then set Sarah down. "Sarah honey, momma's gonna be busy. Cotton and the boys are right over there."

"Cotton!" Sarah yelled as she used her arms and skates to quickly drag herself over.

"You DO know Duke was in and out of prison a lot just last year?" Nick replied. "Not only that, he's ummmm you know."

Terry cocked her eyebrow. "A weasel?"

Nick hated himself at the moment. "I'm ashamed of myself for thinking it. Speak of the little devil...look!"

Terry turned her head and they both saw Duke being interviewed on screen.

A beaver was interviewing Duke at the Home Depot. "This is Charlie Chompers from channel 3 news interviewing a very special weasel who risked life and limb today to save a complete stranger. Care to give the television audience your name sir?"

"Hi! I'm Duke Weaselton of Weaselton and Son's construction. 'Dis ferret kid over here is my stepson Paco. Can I say hi to my wife?"

"Sure sir."

"Hi Juanita! Hi mom! Told ya I was doin' good ma! See?"

"Mr. Wesselton.."

"WEASELTON!"

"Right. Can you describe for the folks at home just what happened."

"Sure thing Chompers! Ya see, I wuz gettin' lumber fer my construction business 'Weasleton and Sons'. That's 'Weaselton and Sons Construction' for all your buildin' needs. Area code 626-555-2524. Habla Espanol."

"Can we please get on with the story."

"Hold yer buck teeth Chuckles, I'm gettin' to it. What? A guy can't get a plug in? Anyways, I was ummm... 'negotiating' with 'da manager when I heard a lady screamin'! Sure enough, 'dere was some dingy dingo assaultin' 'a squirrel lady and her kid. I knew I needed 'ta do somethin'. I remembered what Nick Wilde said at his "Preds fer Peace' thing last night."

Terry got excited. "Hey! You got a free plug Nick!"

Nick was happy. "I've never been happier to hear that weasel's voice!"

Duke continued. "He said 'dat 'da first thing you should do is dial. So I dialed 911 and let 'da operator now what was goin' on and 'dey called 'da police. But 'dey wouldn't get er in time before 'dat squirrel was turned inta shredded cheese. So I went with 'da second D. Distract. From a safe distance, I called 'da guy names 'da get his attention and he left her alone and went after me. 'Dat left me in big, big trouble, so I used 'da third D. Defend. I defended myself by strategically keepin' my distance until my workmates hatched a plan. Together, we took down that dingo and let officer Hopps pick up 'da scraps."

Paco hugged Duke as he was being interviewed. "Hey buddy!" Duke said. "Chompers, 'dis is by stepson Paco. He's 'da best kid a father could evah have."

Chompers then interviewed Paco. "So what do you think of your stepdad?"

"He's a hero!" Paco replied. "Just like Senora' Hopps. When I saw my papi save that lady's life, it made me realize what I want to do with my life."

"What's 'dat kiddo?"

"I wanna be a cop and help people!"

Duke was devastated, but tried to hide it. "Heh-heh! Ain't 'dat cute! But ya know son, 'dere aint never been a ferret cop before."

"Well then...I'll have to be the first one!"

"Great...Just great."

Chompers took over. "Well, this is Zootopia son, where anyone can become anything. This new found courage of our citizens is not an isolated incident as there have been several arrests in the city today thanks to folks calling in on crimes they are witnessing. Thank you Mr. Weaselton, little Paco. Back to you at the station.

Nick muted the TV again. "You see? My program is working!"

"I'm so proud of you Nick!" Terry replied. She then looked down at her watch. "Oooooh! It's 11:30! Suzie's probably getting her special call right now!"

"What do you mean Terry?"

"Well, I talked to my brother Tyler and he did me a little favor..."

Moment's earlier at Grazeville Junior High...

Suzie found a nice bench by a large tree just perfect for her size. She was eating lunch with her schoolmate. A very nerdy zebra named Amy Spitz. The zebra knew Suzie for about two years. She wore thick glasses and maybe even thicker braces on her teeth that made her spray out her spit when she talked. Because of this, the poor zebra didn't have many friends, but Suzie liked her. It probably also helped that because of Suzie's immense size, she was out of reach of Amy's sprays.

Suzie was trying to explain the recent events in her life and Amy could hardly believe it.

"It's true Amy! Me and Sarah are adopted now. I have a family!"

"That'sh not hard to believe." Amy replied. "I'm jusht have a hard time believing that Gashelle is your aunt!"

"Well, not yet. But my mother's twin brother is marrying her! You saw it on TV right?"

"Everybody shaw it! But a lot of kidsh don't believe you're gonna be related jusht becaushe they shaw you two together."

"Well I don't care what they believe."

"Sho what'sh thish newsh about you having a boyfriend?"

"Well..not yet. I'm going with my old friend Vivian to some 'Castles and Dragons' game thing tonight at Jerry Jumbaeux's ice cream cafe and I'm meeting their son, Junior Junior. James Catmull invited me! Well he's James Wolford now. His mom died and she left him with a new family."

"I remember him! He shtill hangsh out with Sham and Shylveshter?!"

Suzie wiped Amy's spit off her shirt. "I felt that one."

"Shorry."

"Sam's the one called 'Dragon' right?"

"Yesh."

"Yeah. He'll be there. I don't know Sylvester though."

"You never met Shylveshter Shtallion?! He'sh only the vish preshident of the shecond charter of the Zootopia Shtar Boarsh fan club!"

"Sounds like a total dork. I don't mean that in a bad way."

"Oh he ish! He'sh alsho got everything I've been looking for in a boy. Shingle, lonely and deshperate."

"Well, why don't I talk to James and see if I can't invite you too?"

"Sherioushly?! That would aweshome! Shpectacular! Jusht the besht!"

"Okay, I REALLY felt that one."

"Shorry."

Just then, a group of girls came by led by Casey. A cheetah and one of the most popular and meanest girls in the school. "Look girls! It's the loser bench!"

"Shut up! Cashey!" Amy shouted.

"Say it, don't spray it brace face!" Casey snapped back. "So Suzie, I hear someone was desperate enough to adopt you. Did they have to take the roof off their house just to accommodate you?" This made Casey's little clique laugh.

Suzie was upset. "They live in a giraffe-sized apartment! You know Casey, I'm glad I'm this tall, because no matter what, I'll ALWAYS look down on you!"

"Oh PLEASE longneck! Now you're going around with this bullcrap claim that Gazelle is your aunt just because you two were on camera together last night?"

"Jealous kitty? She's not my aunt yet, but she's engaged to my uncle Tyler."

"She's engaged to a tiger. You're a stupid giraffe! Even if it was true, she means NOTHING to you!"

Suzie was starting to tear up. "That's not...OW! That's not true!"

"What'sh wrong?" Amy asked with concern.

"I felt a...sting in my bottom area. I feel kinda sick too. But Gazelle DOES care! She's.."

In a moment of perfect timing, Suzie's cell phone went off. "Who is it?" Casey asked. "Your new loser parents?"

"Screw you Casey!" Suzie snapped back. "I don't know the number. They're on muzzletime."

She tapped the phone and both Suzie and Amy immediately screamed. "EEEEEEE!"

On the other end of the phone was Gazelle herself. "Hello Suzie! How's my favorite soon-to-be niece?!"

Suzie was at a loss for words. "I...I...I'm fine. I'm a little queasy and sore, but otherwise, okay. This is my friend Amy!"

Suzie aimed the screen in front of Amy. "Hello Gashelle. I'm jusht exshtactic to meet you! I've got all of your recordsh!"

"I can't see the screen anymore." Gazelle replied. "It's all blurry!"

Suzie quickly wiped her phone. "I-I-I'm sorry! Amy has braces and spits a lot."

Casey couldn't believe any of it. "Your full of crap Suzie! No way that's Gazelle!"

With a smirk on her face, Suzie aimed the phone at Casey who saw Gazelle right in front of the camera. Gazelle glared at the cheetah. "Who's this mean girl?!"

Casey panicked. "I-I-I'm Casey Sprinter! I'm a f-friend of Suzies!"

"No your not!" Suzie replied. "You and your friends are nothing but bullies!"

Gazelle was disappointed. "Well, she's not invited to your birthday party."

Suzie was a bit confused. "My birthday party?!"

"Oh? Your mother didn't tell you yet? I noticed your birthday falls on thanksgiving. My blood family is oversees, so I thought I'd celebrate Thanksgiving and your birthday together in one big party at your place! You can invite your friends too. We can hang out for a bit."

"Can I come Shuzie?!" Amy asked.

"Of course Amy!"

"Thanksh!"

Gazelle continued. "Anyway, it's going to be a casual party. I don't think I'l be performing and I won't be in any fancy clothes, but I'm sure we'll have tons of fun!"

Suzie was in tears. "Oh thank you so much Gaze-I mean, Aunt Gazelle!"

"No problem! I'm just happy to have another equine on my fiance's side of the family. Love you! Bye!"

"Bye aunt Gazelle!" Suzie hung up the phone and gave a smug, nasty look to Casey. "See? HA!"

Amy was incredibly hyped. "That wash sho aweshome Suzie! I'm sho exshited I almosht pisshed my pantsh!"

Casey started to laugh as she pointed at Suzie's crotch. "Looks like Suzie pissed hers!"

This left Suzie confused. "What are you talking about? I didn't pee!" But then, she felt it. The wetness in her lap. Something was very wrong. She felt down by her crotch. "Oh my God. W-What's going on?" When she lifted her hoof back up, she saw the red liquid on the tips of her hoof. "B-Blood?!"

She then stood up and everyone saw that the bench was splashed with Suzies blood. "Oh my God! I'm bleeding!"

"EWWW!" Casey said. "Don't you use a pad?!"

Amy panicked. "Thish ish shuper sherioush! Go to the nurshesh offish! Now!"

Suzie put her hooves both on her front and behind. "NUUUURSE!" She screamed.

Casey just got cheesed. "What's HER problem?"

"She'sh bleeding!" Amy yelled.

"Well yeah! It's her time of the month!"

"...There'sh a time of the month you bleed?"

Suzie quickly grabbed her phone and called her mom. "Mommy! Hurry and pick up!"

Meanwhile, back at the restaurant, the Wolford's arrived. "Hey Nick! We finally arrived! Oh hey Fangs!"

"Hi Wolfy!" It was then that Terry got her phone call she was waiting for from Suzie. "Hey Suzie! Did you like my surprise? I arranged it mys-"

"MOMMA! I need you to come to the school and pick me up!"

"What? Why?!"

"I don't know why, but I'm bleeding! I'M BLEEDING!"

The pupils in Terry's eyes shrank. She was freaking out. She only said three words. "Tim, watch Sarah!"

Tim's eyes widened "Oh No! I know 'dat look!" EVERYONE GET OUT OF HER WAY!"

Terry sped up her wheelchair wheels so fast, they burned rubber in place on the restaurant floor before she bolted out of the place so hard, she knocked over a few predators like bowling pins.

Tim watched as she sped away at about 80 mph on the streets of Zootopia. "Ooooh 'dis aint good!"

No red light could hold her back. No cross street slowed her down. She braked for no one. In her panicked race to get to Suzie, she refused to be stopped by such mere things as common sense. Her baby was bleeding and she would at the school come hell or high water.

As she sped past one lane, she caused two cars to spin out of control and slam into each other. "What the hell was that?" Asked one driver.

"Some kind of...orange blur in a wheelchair. I think it was a tiger!"

"You call your insurance guy, I'll call the police!"

Meanwhile...

Judy and Clawhauser where patrolling around in the Baddy Buster (that's Judy's new motorcycle/sidecar combo) and everything seemed calm. "Well Ben, looks like I'm not getting the crazy calls I got earlier. Maybe things are slowing down."

"That'd be a relief!" Clawhauser replied.

She then got the call from Francine at dispatch. "Calling motorcycle 27. Over."

Judy picked up the com. "This is #27. Over."

"We have a report of a non-regulation vehicle causing mayhem in downtown traffic. Speed over 80 mph."

Clawhauser crossed his fingers "Please don't be my wife again. Please don't be my wife."

"Can you describe the vehicle?"

"It appears to be...a large tiger in a wheelchair going at incredible speeds. Last seen at the corner of Flock street and Ewe avenue."

Judy and Ben just looked at each other. "...SWEET CHEESE AND CRACKERS!" They shouted together.

"It hasn't even been a week!" Shouted Ben.

Judy got back on the com. "We believe the suspect may be Fangmeyer. We're are in pursuit."

"Roger that. Heh-heh! 'Flock and Ewe'. Flock Ewe! "

"You can get off the com now Francine."

"Whoops! Sorry."

Judy revved up her cycle and they were on their way. She tried to give Ben some advice. "Ben? I know it's your wife, but we can't be easy on her. Not this time. Ben?"

"Ooohoho! I'm not going easy one her! I'm mad!"

"Uh-oh! Looks like I'm about to see a lover's tiff!"

The went through the downtown streets. Passing Flock and turning right onto Pack. They could see an orange blur as it turned right down the next street. "That's her!" Judy shouted.

"I think she's heading towards Suzie's school!" Ben replied.

"Try to get a hold of her on your phone!"

"Right! Maybe it's not her!" Ben got on his cell phone. It rang and rang, but he finally got through. "Terry! Are you okay?!"

"SUZIE'SBLEEDINGNOTIMETOTALKBYE!"

Ben looked at Judy in horror. "GASP! She said Suzie was bleeding!"

Judy had an idea. "I know where that school is! I can take a short cut and cut her off! I hope."

Judy put her plan into motion. Sure enough, Judy was able to cut off Terry off just as she made another car swerve off the road. "TERRY! HOLD IT!"

Terry put on her brakes and skidded just an inch from hitting Judy. "Hurry up Judy! I don't have time!"

"Terry! You're causing a mess on the streets! Let's just call Suzie back and find out what's wrong."

Ben took the call. "Terry honey, you need to stop being so emotional! This could cost you your job!...Hello? Suzie! What's going on?...Unnh hunh...Oh honey, that's just the raspberry filling!"

Judy and Terry looked confused. "What?!"

"She there's blood coming from her hoo-hoo. I buy those treats all the time!"

Judy slapped her forehead. "I think she means her vagina Clawhauser!"

"What?" He got back on the phone with Suzie. "Suzie. Do you mean your...special place? Oh. You do. Well, don't worry. Me and momma are on our way."

Terry was still worried. "Why would she be bleeding from her vagina?"

Judy looked stunned. "Wait. You don't know?!"

"I don't know why either." Ben said.

Judy finally got it. "Ooooh! That's right! Terry was born male! I forgot!"

"I'm glad you forgot." Terry said. "Helps me feel like a real woman, but still doesn't answer my question and we're in a hurry!"

"Right. Terry, stand up. Ben put her wheelchair under the side car."

"Got it!" Ben replied.

"Listen you two. Suzie's what? Twelve and a half?"

"She'll be thirteen this Thanksgiving."

"That's it then. She's become a woman. She had her first period!"

"It's close to noon."Ben replied. "She should be at third period by now."

"SIGH! I'll explain on the way. Ben? She's your wife. Get her ready."

"Ready for what?" Terry asked.

Ben slapped a pair of pawcuffs on her. She suddenly got nervous. "B-Ben honey. These aren't the ones we use at home."

"No. No they're not. sorry dear. You're under arrest."

"WHAAAAAT?!"
