Cimar Of Turalis WildeHopps: For some reason, I had the biggest smile on my face as soon as I saw your comment about a lawsuit. I even ended up talking to myself for 10 minutes about how the lawsuit would go. The part about nailing Bogo's horns was a nice touch and found the thought extremely entertaining.

Credit:

Me. I thought of having this one as the first chapter but thought it would be a bit dark to start it off with.

Warning:

Does handle the sensitive topic of self-harm and suicidal thoughts in teens. I had to stop a few times while writing this and at one point I went into a lot more detail. But I stopped myself and re-wrote the chapter a few times. If you are sensitive to the topic then feel free to skip this chapter, I don't intend to link it to anything in the future so you shouldn't be missing out on any information.

Zootopia Song Short Stories

Song 5: Brompton Cocktail

So far, the day was pretty normal for Nick and Judy. Like always they had arrived at the precinct at almost the exact same time. Nick with a coffee in his paw and Judy with her IPaw as she removed her earphones. They walked in, side by side and started a short but cheerful conversation with Clawhauser.

Like always, the conversation was cut short when Nick and Judy had to leave so they were not late for their assignments. I truth they always had at least five extra minutes when they arrived. But even Judy had to admit that she had her limits when it came to the gossipping cheetah. She loved him like a friend but his downfall was how he was constantly talking about Gazelle.

Nick and Judy took their shared seat at the front of the room and joked about with their brothers and sisters in blue as they came over and talked to them. It had been almost a year since the Nighthowlers case that landed Dawn Bellwether in prison for a long time. Despite this, they were still commended for it on an almost daily basis.

After a few extra minutes, the chief finally arrived. He was late and this was the first time Judy had ever seen the chief be late to a morning briefing.

The usual cheers, hoots, and hollers filled the room as Bogo walked to the podium at the front of the room. He stopped and allowed the noise to continue for longer than he usually did. "Alright everybody shut it!" he shouted over the noise. As if it was just the flip of a switch, all the noise that was in the room was gone.

"Now, I have some news that will either be good or bad, depending on what your view on it is" he started as he placed the small folders on the pedestal in front of him. "We have no new cases to hand out," he said and listened as each officer reacted in their own way. Judy and Nick were the most disappointed out of them all. They had just finished a case of disappearing garden gnomes and they wanted something more challenging.

"Now for me, this is good because that means I have less paperwork to fill out" the chief began again before looking directly at Nick and Judy "That is if Officers Hopps and Wilde doing an average job of policing and not bring in any serial killers or mob bosses" he added which earned a few laughs from the cops around the duo.

Nick just shrugged his shoulders as he leaned back in his seat more than he usually does "What can I say?" he asked rhetorically "We're a good team"

"So for today, normal patrol assignments for most and desk duty for a few of you, that includes you Wilde and subsequently, that also means you Hopps," he said as he made eye contact with the surprised looking fox and slightly annoyed but mostly sad bunny "Sorry Hopps"

Nick opened his mouth to respond but Judy quickly covered it with one of her paws as her other paw grabbed his tie and started to pull him out of the room "No problem, thanks chief"

When Nick and Judy had finally arrived at their shared office, Judy finally let go of Nick "What was that for Carrots?" he asked, slightly out of breath from having his snout forcibly closed.

"Nick, the chief is really happy and I don't want you to bring his mood down" she explained as she took her seat in her chair and looked over at Nick's desk which was currently buried in a pile of paperwork "Now go get your work done so we can get back out on patrol"

The time was now ten minutes to one, Nick and Judy where on their way back from their short lunch break. They had spent their tie just eating across from each other in comfortable silence and the occasional short conversation would start.

Nick still had a fair bit of paperwork to do but was able to do most of it with the help of Judy.

"Hopps! Wilde!" The chief's voice called from down the hall as Nick and Judy were seated in their office chairs.

Judy looked at Nick with an expression that seemed to ask "What you have you done this time?" and all he did was shrug.

"What's wrong Chief?" Judy asked as Bogo appeared at the entrance of their office area.

"Follow me, I'll explain as we walk," he said before starting to walk away. Nick and Judy were quick out of their office and followed closely behind the chief. "We just received a call from one of the local high schools in the area, says that they need someone to talk to a student out of...well you can fill in the blank," he said as his voice began to drop a little

"Whose the student?" both Nick and Judy asked in unison

"Student is one Lilly Jones, female, 14-year-old sheep, the school says that she is hiding in one of the school toilets and refuses to talk to anyone" Bogo took a deep breath before he continued "Parents have bee informed and they had requested that someone tries to talk to her before she does anything...drastic"

Nik and Judy stayed quiet for a moment as they followed the chief towards their custom ZPD cruiser. "Don't worry chief, we got this" Judy said quietly as both she and Nick climbed into the vehicle and started moving towards the school.

By the time they arrived, the time was a little past one. The school field and playground were full of young teenagers running about and having fun. There were the obvious different social groups that seemed to stick to each other.

Of course, a few heads did turn when the ZPD cruiser had turned up and parked outside the school. Even more heads turned when the identity of the cops was revealed.

As Nick and Judy walked past the fence that surrounded around the edges of the field, more and more children came running towards the fence, desperate to see the dynamic duo and have their voices heard.

"Hopps"
"Wilde"
"Officers"

And other such things were shouted at them. Judy waved at them as they walked past while Nick just smiled at the sight of it all.

The noise started to die down as Nick and Judy started to enter the main building of the school, where a panicked looking tigress was pacing back and forth until she noticed the arrival of the fox and bunny. "Officer Hopps, Wilde, thank you for coming on such short notice, My name is Mrs. Stripes and it is an honor to meet you two...if only it was on lighter circumstances"

"If only it were" Nick responded before turning his head as a loud rumble of noise starting coming down the hall. What he saw was a stampede of young mammals all in a hurry to reach where he and his partner were standing.

Turning to Judy, Nick gave her a small smile "You go and talk to Lilly, I'll entertain this lot"

"Are you sure?" Judy asked as she started to slowly follow Mrs. Stripes

"Positive Carrots, be better if the two of you had some privacy"

With that, Judy gave him one final head nod before catching up to Mrs. Stripes as they went further and further into the school.

Nick turned and watched as the stampede had gotten closer than he thought was possible. Taking a deep breath, Nickreadided himself for all the questions that would be asked.

Mrs. Stripes ended up taking Judy all the way to the other end of the school towards where two, almost identical blue doors were. Both had a sign on them, the one on the left read "Boy's toilets" and the one on the left read "Girl's Toilets"

Judy started to walk towards the girl's toilets door but stopped when she heard Mrs. Stripes call out behind her "Officer, please, do whatever you can"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Stripes" she said before opening the door and stepping in.

The walls and floor were surprisingly clean given the age groups that would be in the school. Judy had to cut her observation short as the sound of someone crying reached her ears "Hello?" she said gently, not wanting to startle the poor sheep

"Go away!" was the response she got. It was clear that she just wanted to be left alone. If this was any other situation, Judy would have let the sheep be by herself to calm down and recollect herself, but if what she was told was true, then Lilly being alone would be the opposite of beneficial

Taking a few slow steps around the short corner, Judy's eyes found the source of the crying. Lilly was sitting on the floor with her knees up to her chest and head buried in between them. Her wool was a few shades darker than the shirt she wore that Judy had guessed was apart of school uniform. There was a black tie with multiple red stripes running down it in front of her. "Are you alright?" Judy asked again, voice just as gentle as it was before

"Didn't you hear me?" she asked as she raised her voice so she was almost shouting, "I said go away" she repeated before lifting her head and finally seeing who was standing a few steps in front of her.

Judy offered a small smile as she made eye contact with Lilly. Judy's purple eyes met Lilly's ocean blue eyes. Lilly's face remained as shocked as it was when it was first initially raised. "How are you doing?" Judy asked as she slowly took a step towards the sheep.

While this was the first time Judy had ever been in a situation like this, she knew that being calm, patient and persistent was key. You always wanted who you were talking to to feel comfortable

The ewe hesitated for a moment before lowering her gaze again "I feel like absolute shit"

"Why's that?" Judy asked, voice still as soft and gentle as a cloud as her steps were much like her voice, slow and quiet. Every time Judy spoke, she took one or two steps closer to Lilly

Lily looked back up and met eyes with Judy again "because life just isn't fair!" she shouted, probably louder than she was supposed to "I'm bullied just because I'm a sheep, people avoid me like the plague, no one wants to help me, all because I'm the same species as fucking Bellwether" she said as she reached forward and gripped the tie tightly in her hooves.

When Lilly had moved to grab the tie, the sight of her arms had made Judy's heartbreak. It was clearly viable through the cut wool that she had used some type of sharp object to cut at the skin under her fur. The sight only made Judy want to help her even more.

"Life isn't always fair and that's the harsh truth" Judy said as she took the last few steps until she was in front of Lilly "My friend didn't have it easy growing up and he still doesn't, just because of his species" Judy said as she tried to get on a more personal level with the ewe

Lilly just tightened her grip on her tie and lowered her head onto her knees. There she had wrapped the tie around her neck and started to make a tight knot.

Knowing that she was running out of time and fast, Judy tried to think of something to say to try and help Lilly "Tell me about you"

Lilly raised her head and looked at Judy with a confused look "What?" she asked weakly

"Tell me about yourself" Judy repeated as she brought herself to sit cross-legged in front of the ewe

When Lilly remained silent and continued to stare at Judy with a confused look on her face, Judy saw that she had an angle and started to work at it

"Here, let me start" Judy suggested as she held her paws together in front of her "I'm Officer Judy Hopps of the ZPD, but my friends and family just call me Judy, and that is a privilege that you own"

When Lily still didn't respond, Judy continued with her introduction

"Let me tell you something you don't know about me" Judy suggested as she slowly and gently moved her paw closer to Lilly's legs "My full birth name is Judith Laverne Hopps"

"Laverne?" Lilly weakly replied

"Yeah I know, such a terrible name, Nick's is worse, you know Officer Wilde right?" Judy asked and got a slow nod back "Well, don't tell him I told you this but his full name is actually Nicholas Piberius Wilde"

Judy could tell that there was a small smile trying to show on Lilly's face as she resisted the urge to chuckle "really?" she repeated slightly louder than she had done anytime before

Judy nodded as she gently laid a paw on Lilly's knee "I know, such a terrible name I mean, who names there child Nicholas?"

Judy was thankful that she went with the dumb bunny approach then as the small smile that appeared on Lilly's face was enough evidence to tell her that she was doing good.

"Enough about me and my partner though, tell me about yourself"

Lilly seemed to shift in her spot on the floor for a moment before she spoke very quietly.

Despite Judy's excellent bunny hearing, she still couldn't make out what was being said

"I'm sorry could you repeat that?" Judy asked gently

"I do drawings in my spare time" Lilly muttered slightly louder

"What type of drawings?" Judy asked as she grew genuinely interested in Lilly and her art. Judy was always a sucker for a good piece of art, she never liked to go to museums and such but she liked when she found a good piece. Especially by it was by some young mammal who still had time to develop.

Lilly started to blush a little and it was visible through her fur "Ju...just drawing of...of...polie" she said with her voice dropping the more she spoke.

"Can I see some?" Judy asked as she knew that what she was doing was working.

Judy hadn't expected Lilly to reach into a pocket in her pants and pull out a few pieces of A4 paper. As Lilly began to unfold the pieces of paper, Judy quickly got up and sat next to Lilly with her back against the wall.

Lilly went on to show the first picture to Judy, it was a close up of the ZPD badge that was given to every police officer who had graduated the police academy. Judy caught Lilly looking at her own badge that was pinned to her chest in the same place as it always was "Have you ever seen one close up?" Judy asked and began to play with her badge as she struggled to unpin it

"No...I haven't" Lilly replied and went to say more but stopped as Judy successfully unpinned her badge and held it out to her. She looked at Judy, seeking confirmation to hold it and was pleased when she got a nod in return.

As Lilly looked at the badge, Judy started to reach up and began to undo the loose tie that was still around her neck.

The two continued to stay next to each other as they both looked at the artwork Lilly did while also conversing about it. Lilly had said that she had always bee interested in art and that her father had been teaching how to draw since she was four years of age. It clearly showed in her work with the uses of tone and composition.

They hadn't realized how much time they had spent in the girl's toilets until the school bell had gone off, signaling that everyone needed to get to their lesson.

Judy looked at Lilly with a small smile on her face "You ready?" she asked as they both slowly rose to their feet.

"Yeah, thanks, I guess I just needed to talk to someone and forget about everything," Lilly said as they emerged from the toilets to see that Mrs. Stripes was still standing in the same spot that Judy had left her

"Don't worry, talking about something always helps" Judy said as she began to walk towards Mr. Stripes as Lilly started to walk in the other direction to her next lesson, which was art and wouldn't take long to walk to "Don't forget, if any of them start talking about how great Nick is, you can always say that your the only one in this school to talk to the one and only Officer Judy Hopps"

They both started to walk off in opposite directions but Judy stopped and quickly called out "Ohhh, Lilly, I'm giving my personal number to your parents, If you ever need to talk again, just give me a call, emergencies only though, I have a big family that likes to talk for hours on end while on the phone to me"

Lilly just smiled at Judy "Thank you Judy"

Remember when I said I thought it would be a bit dark to start off with this chapter? well, I think my idea to keep it for later was a good decision.

This has probably been the hardest thing I have ever had to write in my life. Including FanFiction and anything that comes to mind. I even had to take a few brakes myself in between writing this. It just doesn't help that It's happening to people around my age and those who are older and younger.

I have friends who have resorted to some of the stuff mentioned in this chapter and I tried my hardest to help them.

Please, If you know anyone who is going through something to the point where they even think about doing anything along the lines of cutting themselves, please try and help them. I shouldn't have to say this but with the number of jokes in schools that are made about it makes me feel like I have to
