Wow, I am just, wow. This story sure gained popularity really fast, thanks to all for the following and favoriting.

Hey, SomeGuyWhoWritesBetterThanYou, how about you show me one of your great real stories instead of your "fanfics" on why Zootopia fan fiction is cancer. Get a life!

Also, I suddenly decided to change the Point of View to first person because while writing this story I have been doing it by accident. I guess my brain is telling me to do it that way, so I will obey to its command and write this next chapter in the perspective of both Forrest and Todd, and in some rare occasions to other characters as well.

By the way, this chapter is over 5,000 words long.

(P.O.V. Forrest)

The morning arrived and we still laid silent inside of the dumpster, but then the morning crowd emerges and Todd woke up. "Ungh, five more minutes." I groaned.

"I think it is better to wake up early and start sooner if we want to do more conning." announced Todd.

"So you've accepted my idea?" I asked surprised

"Yes, although I am still not proud of it."

"Me too bud," I answered placing a hand on his shoulder "but there are always ugly things that we must do."

"So what's the plan?"

"Well," I started "I gave it some thought yesterday, it might not be the best idea but it will work for now. I will try to put the most I can to this plan, but sadly, it will mainly involve you."

"Whatever it is I will do what I can."

"You will have to go around and play that game that you used to play when I was watching the TV and you took the remote away from my hands without me noticing, but you will be taking wallets."

"I-I don't know I can do that." hesitated Todd.

"I know you can, I believe in you, you just have to believe in yourself as well."

"But what if they find me? What if I am caught by the cops? How will you know that I was caught by the cops?"

"Calm down, calm down, that will not happen, but in case it does let's set up a time limit. You will go out there, pickpocket a bit, and return in one hour time, if you haven't come back by then I will wait 30 more minute. If you still haven't gotten back by then I will look for you while still remaining hidden, the last thing I would want to happen is to know you were hurt."

"Okay, I will be back in an hour, I promise." I couldn't stop myself from pulling Todd into a hug, Todd immediately hugged me back making me hug him harder. "Nothing in this world will stop me from coming back, you know I always keep my promises." With that Todd climbed out of the dumpster and began walking to the sidewalk to begin his game of pickpocketing.

45 minutes later

(P.O.V. Todd)

After those first 45 minutes I have already gotten 4 wallets and in them a total of 250 dollars, none of the animals noticed of my scavenging, except for one peculiar fox. "Hey kid!" called the one fox from behind, I turned around to an approaching fox with a hawaiian t-shirt and brown pants.

"Do I know you?" I asked with an unsecure glare.

"Not at all," he answered. "but I know everyone, and I don't know you, so may I ask, where do you come from?"

"Er...I am from a farm, but now I am here with my friend."

"And here between the both of us, may I ask what were you doing with that stash?" he said pointing at a noticeable full pocket with the shape of a wallet.

"Um...I...don't know what you're talking about…"

"Look, you could continue on your rampage until someone else connects the clues you left behind or you could learn from the professionals." He declared pointing a thumb at himself. I considered my options, I couldn't leave Forrest waiting, but having someone teach me how to con would be could be of some help.

I had made my decision and told the fox. "My friend is waiting for me, and he would be scared to hell if I don't come back, but we can set up somewhere to meet."

The fox took out from one of his pockets a brochure of the city with a map on it, he pointed where they were at the moment and then pointed at the place for them to meet. "See you in an hour, no more."

"What's your name?" I questioned curiously.

"Nick, and yours?"

"Todd, meet you in an hour or less."

I went back to the alleyway where I had left Forrest and climbed back in the dumpster, greeted yet again by the knife. "I really gotta stop being so paranoid, don't I?"

"Yes you do, and look what I got," I revealed my stash of wallets filled with money giving us both a sense of joy, without of course losing the remorse of stealing. "I also have some other news, I found someone that can help me with conning." Forrest was not amused by the news, whoever it was could be just someone trying to get the best of others, or worse, a kidnapper.

"Do you," started Forrest a little hesitant. "trust him?"

I did not gave thought to my answer and quickly said "I do, and although he might seem a bit of a troublemaker, it is also a reason why he would be a con."

"True, but I'm not taking any risks, because here we will never have a second chance."

"I understand." I said in a disappointed tone.

"Which is why I will go with you,"

"What?! You can't, he could see you, anyone can see you in our way there."

"Don't worry," answered Forrest while pushing away the surrounding trash trying to find something, and when he did he shouted "Aha! There you are!" Forrest had taken out a dirty jacket a bit bigger than him and some motorcyclist gloves with holes for his small finger. "I found these while you were gone, also I found out I still had my phone with me, but since you don't have one it will not be of much use."

"That's great and all but what about your shoes, as far as I can tell I have not seen anyone wear them, they all seem to be barefooted."

"Dang it, just when I thought this could work, wait, can I see that map of yours?" I handed the map to Forrest as he immediately started to scan through it, checking every inch of it. "There is no store that specifies selling wheelchairs, but you could go to this hospital and ask for one."

"You want me, to go to a hospital, and ask for a wheelchair?"

"It didn't sound so crazy in my head, but I guess you can just say you need a replacement, you could also take some money to pay for it."

(Time skip)

"This is the stupidest idea ever," I murmured while standing in front of the hospital. "still can't believe he convinced me of doing this silly plan." I entered the white tall building to be greeted by a freezing breeze of the AC and some phone calls being taken. I walked towards the front desk and waited patiently and with annoyment for the secretary to finish her call.

"Yes, doctor Philip will be waiting for you at five pm, bye. Hi young fox, what can I do for you?" asked the female beaver with a warm and gentle smile.

"Um, yeah, I just came here for ask for a wheelchair replacement."

"What happened to it?" she asked with certain concern.

"Some thugs stole it from my friend."

"Oh, I am so sorry to hear that, I hate it when other mammals take advantage of the sick and wounded. What animal is he?"

"Oh no, think, think, what animal could be the size of a human, maybe, yeah that's it." "A wolf." "I hope I'm right."

"I will give one to you in a moment, wait here." The beaver stood up from her stool and walked away from the counter into a room behind it, I waited for a couple minutes and finally the beaver arrived with a human sized seeming wheelchair.

"Phew"

"Sorry I took so long, we are running short on these sizes and the personnel is lazy on organizing these properly."

"Don't worry, my friend is very patient."

The beaver took the wheelchair around the front desk and towards me and said "That will be $75 for the loss of the previous wheelchair, $25 for the wheelchair use, and $15 more for every month that you use it, if not returned or reported by the week's end, you will be chased by cops." I took out the money that he had taken from the other animals and paid the beaver.

"Thank you for the wheelchair." I waved as I exited the hospital.

"No problem, have a nice day." Waved back the beaver.

"Almost forgot," I said still holding the door "what is your name?"

"Amy, what's yours?"

"Todd, well, gotta run can't keep him waiting forever."

The beaver just giggled as he left and she returned to her stool telling her self. "What a nice young fox."

30 minutes were left before time would run out for the meeting with the fox that would teach me how to con. Forrest and I were ready to go, to disguise himself, Forrest had the jacket with the hood on, the gloves, the wheelchair and a blanket over his "injured" legs covering him all the way to the shoes. As they made their way out of the alleyway and into the crowd the rest of the mammals looked at them with caution giving them space to maneuver around a bit. It seemed that the plan was going in a complete success. After the long walk the two friends had 12 minutes to spare by the time they met up with the fox. Forrest quickly analyzed him and his looks from the shadow that his hoodie gave him. "Finally you arrived kid, for a moment there I thought I should be heading out."

"Sorry I took so long, we had some difficulties."

"I can tell, seems and smell like you two live in a dumpster." He said giving a laughter in which no one joined him, as his laughter decreased he noticed his mistake. "Oh sorry, I didn't know you actually did-"

"It's fine," said Forrest. "we've been getting adjusted."

"But I'm sure that with what you can teach me we can get out of our problems."

"But first," started Forrest. "you need to gain my trust."

"Why, because I'm a fox?" he said unamused.

"No, but simply because you are a stranger and I would not want anyone kidnapping Todd here."

"I see, and how am I supposed to gain your trust."

"Well, since you were the one that went to Todd, I guess you can give us something in return as well."

Nick placed some though on his ideas, he could give him money since he wins about $200 dollars a day but he did not want to give up a lot of money, so he then decided to try something else. "Why don't you stay with me?"

"Excuse me?" asked Forrest.

"I said that you can live here with me under the bridge, it may not be an apartment but it sure is better than a dumpster."

Forrest stayed still in a thinking position for about a minute making me anxious and Nick look at his watch. "Hm…I can't believe I am saying this, but I am sold mister…"

"Call me Nick." He said holding out his paw

"Alright then Nick, my name is Forrest, and I believe we have our common ground." Answered Forrest shaking Nick's paw.

In the middle of that shaking Nick noticed that Forrest had a fifth finger with him, so he asked. "Why do you have five fingers?"

Forrest immediately took back his hand and answered, "I have a birth defect."

"Uhu," said Nick unconvinced "and I suppose that explains the wheelchair as well." Forrest nodded "anyway, we better get started with your first job, come along Todd, you wait here until we come back."

Forrest raised his finger in sign that he was about to argue but remembering he had trusted me to him returned his hand to it's place. "How long until you are back?" he asked.

"Around 7 pm, gotta say, you are the most paranoid friend I've ever met, come on Todd time is wasting."

Nick started to walk away but I just stood there for a while before telling Forrest "I promise I will be back." and leaving alongside Nick.

A few minutes later I found myself walking down the sidewalk beside Nick and a "baby". I was supposed to play the role of Nick's son while the "baby", who creeped the hell out of me when I heard his voice, will be his baby brother. "You remember the plan?"

"I do, let's just get done with this." We casually entered an ice cream store while for some reason Nick looked both ways in a suspicious way before entering the store. We waited in line to get attended, once we got to the front the cashier elephant just bluffed at us with. "Listen. I know what you're doing skulking around during daylight hours, but I don't want any trouble in here. So hit the road!"

I let Nick take over as of how the plan was adjusted and he answered. "Please sir, these two just want a jumbo pop, which one do you guys want the blue or the red?" Me and the "baby" both pointed at the red jumbo pop.

"There aren't any fox ice cream joints in your part of town?"

"No, no. There are, there are. It's just, these two goofy little stinkers, they loves all things elephant. The little one wants to be one when he grows up." The "baby" pulled over a hoodie that made him look just like a small little elephant. "Isn't that adorable? Who the heck am I to crush his little dreams, huh? Right?"

"Look, you probably can't read, fox, but the sign says 'We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone!' So beat it, you're holding up the line." said the Elephant in a very stern voice.

Then a familiar female voice entered the situation a bit timidly "Hello, excuse me."

"Dang it, if she sees me everything will be ruined, unless she hopefully doesn't recognize me."

"Hey, you are going to have to wait your turn like everyone else, meter maid." spat the cashier

"Actually, I'm an officer, Just have a quick question, Are your customers aware they're getting snot and mucus with their cookies and cream?" Everyone looked at two elephants eating theirs at the moment as they both spat it out of their mouths.

"What are you talking about?" He asked turning back to the bunny

"Well. I don't wanna cause you any trouble, but I believe scooping ice cream with an ungloved trunk is a class 3 health code violation. Which is kind of a big deal. Of course I could let you off with a warning if you were to glove those trunks, and I don't know, finish selling these nice fellows. What was it?"

"A jumbo pop, please."

The elephant sighed in defeat and answered to the bunny's demands with a look of 'dam it' "$15"

"Oh no, you've gotta be kidding me, I don't have my wallet. Sorry guys, looks like there will be no treat let's head home." Nick and I start walking away while the "baby" is dragged trying to reach for the jumbo pop.

With her heart broken, and a bit of annoyment, she jumped to the counter placing a $20 bill saying "Keep the change."

And in a split second we were all outside the store giving our thanks to the bunny. "No need, it's my treat." she answered, then she looked at me.

"Is there something wrong officer?"

"Aren't you the fox from last night?"

"Dam it, i'm as good as dead, and lying might only make it worse so I will just go out with the truth." "Yes, it was me, this is the friend I was talking about, he just doesn't like being formally introduced much."

"The name is Nick officer." he said tagging along.

"Funny, I could have sworn he was your father, you two do look very alike." she answered.

"By the way, my name is Todd, what is yours?"

"Judy, but I better be on my way, an officer's job is never done."

"Bye officer." I said as I we headed to the van of the "baby" "That worked better than I expected, good thing you played along."

"What can I say, conning is my thing." we both laughed as we started to walk down the sidewalk and enter the van. Then we started the second phase of the conning plan, we melted the jumbo pop and placed the remains in some jars. We then drove to a place called Tundra Town where the "baby", whose name I haven't asked yet because I keep forgetting, made some paw prints in the snow while I filled them with Jumbo pop remains and Nick placed some popsicle sticks right below the Jumbo pop remains. The fourth phase was to go to Sahara Square, where many mammals would love a fresh treat. Finally, for the fifth phase, we sold the popsicle stick remains to some contractors for a price higher than the one Nick bought them for. He was just plain genius in his use of resources for more profit, and of course I thought that it was a bit illegal but he explained it to me and I began to trust him more for that. Then we split the profit. "$40 for you Finnick, and $40 for you Todd, way to work that dipper big guy."

"Oh so that is his name."

Finnick just left with a cold look with his costume still on. "What no bye bye kiss for daddy?"

Finnick spits out his pacifier and tells Nick in his deep voice. "You kiss me tomorrow, and I will bite you!"

"You know, that deep voices fit's you very well in my opinion." I add.

"Heh, I like this kid already, caio." As he drove off he uncovered someone hiding behind the van, it was Judy, the bunny cop from the ice cream store.

"Aha!" I shout making a big jump backwards to the left of Nick.

"I cannot believe it," began Judy with an intimidating tone "I stood up for you two and you lied! Looks like your friend is not so good as you told me."

"Actually, I am not his friend that I think you are speaking about, he is waiting for us at the moment and I promised him to bring him back to him by 7 pm. Besides, I didn't lie to you, he did." Nick pointed to the right and as soon as he did that he grabbed my arm and dashed silently as I tried to keep pace, he then stopped right at the corner and I stopped as well trying to fit into his casual walking.

"Hey!" shouts the bunny as we walk around the corner and when she catches to us she says. "Okay you two sly foxes, you are under arrest."

"Really? For what?" Asked Nick with a grin, which gave me a safe sensation.

"Oh geez, I don't know, selling food without a permit? Transporting undeclared commerce across lines? False advertizing."

And just like that, right on the spot, out of his pocket Nick pulled out a food seller permit, and a receipt answering. "Permit. Receipt of declared commerce. And I didn't falsely advertise anything. Take care." He then sped up a bit and as I did as well so did the bunny who began to catch our current pace.

"You told that mouse the pawpsicle sticks were redwood!" she declared seeming a bit too desperate to be right.

"That's right. Red wood. With a space in the middle. Wood that is red. You can't touch me, Carrots. I've been doing this since I was born." He answered making an even bigger grin.

"Gotta accept it, they guy is a genius." I declare with a finger in the air.

"You're gonna want to refrain from calling me Carrots."

"My bad. I just naturally assumed you came… from some little carrot-choked Podunk. No?"

"Uh, no." She answered irritated. "Podunk is in Deerbrooke county and I grew up in Bunny Burrow."

Nick turns to the left into an alley with a broken fence at the end and as me and the bunny follow him "Okay. Tell me if this story sounds familiar. Naive little hick with good grades and big ideas decides 'Hey, look at me, I'm gonna move to Zootopia… Where predators and prey live in harmony and sing Kumbaya!' Only to find, whoopsie, we don't all get along. And that dream of becoming a big city cop, double whoopsie, she's a meter maid. And whoopsie number three-sie, no one cares about her or her dreams. And soon enough those dreams die, and our bunny sinks into emotional and literal squa-"

"Okay knock it off Nick, you are going way past the line."

"Todd, you do not interrupt me when I am talking, you took me out of my flow."

"Well that was my purpose, you can't just be telling those kinds of things to others."

"What about what preys have done to us, do you really think any of them care about us, we cannot be anything besides what they tell us we are. I am sorry to be the one that breaks it to you but everyone hates our kind and you saw a perfect example with the elephant, believe me, I have more experience in this than you do." Nick walks through a crack in the fence and for some reason I still chose to follow. Just then Judy decides to follow as well and steps right in front of Nick.

"Hey! You cannot tell him that, anyone can be anything in here!"

"Mistake, Lions, Rhinos, and all other big and though animals can be anything, the rest just choose to work for one or the other. So you can't change the fact that you are a dumb bunny and me and Todd are sly foxes, you said it after all." answers Nick eyebrowing her.

"I may have done it but it is true that you can be anything." she declared.

"As true as that not being wet cement you are stepping on." said Nick pointing at the bunny's feet, she was in fact stepping on wet concrete, I tried to hold in my laughter, and when Nick was starting to walk away, I held my paw to Judy to pull her out of the cement.

She accepted my gesture as I felt her hard grip in my arm. "One, two, THREE!" I say pulling her out of the wet cement, the force of the pull made me trip and fall on the sidewalk with the bunny on top of me.

"You two done? We need to get you back before 7 pm, we've got 15 minutes left." Judy pushed herself away from the ground letting me stand up and shake my cloths.

"Sorry for what he said." I told Judy as I walked past her. I catched up to Nick, and he scratched my head a bit harshly before we were on our merry way back to the small bridge.

"How did it go?" asked Forrest in the almost exact spot that we left him at.

"Have you been in the same place for the whole day?" questioned Nick a bit surprised.

"No, I have moved around, I just unconsciously made my way to the exact same spot."

"Yeah, well either way, you better find a place to sleep Todd, because I sleep in my chair, and Forrest has his, so…"

"No need to look Todd, I will sleep in the ground you can take the chair." offers Forrest, of course I wouldn't accept his offer so I replied 'no'. "I am not going to just let you sleep in the ground."

"Neither will I, I will use my jacket as a pillow, I would advise you to do the same."

"Fine, you win, let's get some food first, you know any places Nick?"

"In fact I do, but they only serve predators there, so I need you to tell me what is your species."

"I am a Timber Wolf." answers Forrest immediately, Nick does a quick scan from top to bottom making sure that what he is saying is true, he did look like a wolf compared to the ones I saw earlier, but then he did something unexpected.

"Auooo!" he howled trying to imitate a wolf, after his howling he returned his sight to him and then looked at me. "Could you tell me what animal he is Todd?"

"Like he told you, he is a Timber Wolf."

"If he were a Wolf he would have howled with me, never fails, so if you guys are not going to tell me I will find out myself." He approached Forrest with a paw ready to grab onto his hoodie but was grabbed by Forrest with a tight grip that made him yelp in pain for a while. "Okay, okay, let go, let go, let go, please!" Forrest released Nick's arm and he quickly retracted his arm grabbing his wounded region with his opposite paw. "Okay, at least tell me if you are prey or predator."

"Well, I am an omnivore, and since no prey is omnivore then I guess I am a predator."

"Did it really take you that long to figure out what you are?" He asked curiously.

"Yeah, I don't think much of categories, I think they are absurd."

"Couldn't agree more." The fox releases his paw from his arm and looks at me then at Forrest. "Based on the fact that you do not like to be seen at all, I would recommend that Todd and I go and eat, is it okay if I bring you some salmon?"

"Actually, I would hope that you could bring some salmon for the both of us because I have some things to discuss with Todd."

"Fine, I will leave then, have fun you two, but not too much, because that is what this world made me for." Nick walked casually making his way downtown as me and Forrest began to talk.

"I think we should ditch this guy as soon as possible."

"What?! Why?!"

"He almost figured out I was not from here, how long until he tries again, huh? How long until he finds out I am a human? How long until he calls the cops to hunt us down?"

"First of all, he wouldn't call the cops since he is a con, second of all, you are being extremely paranoid, he is a nice friend, I believe we can trust him."

"I may be getting a bit paranoid, but this happens when someone is in a tight situation, and this situation is hanging by a thread." He says raising his voice.

"Okay yeah, this might be a very sensitive decision to make, but even if we were to ditch him, we wouldn't survive long at all, we would be starving, or dehydrating, or worse, I could be caught by the cops!"

"You are right," admitted Forrest in defeat "that would not get us far, but you are barely thirteen, and apparently in this world animals live as long as humans, according to the investigation I made while you guys were gone. This would mean that you would have to wait five years before getting a job, and we sure can't wait too long. It's risky!"

"We do not have another choice, this decision may not take us to the end but it will take us the farthest."

"Fine, we will stay on course but that does not mean I will not take precautions." I nodded at him as he stood up from his chair letting his blanket fall to the ground. "Y'know, I really miss using my legs more, I feel like I will need this wheelchair in the future." We both laughed as he stretched and sat back down in his chair, it didn't take long before Nick arrived with the food.

"What took you so long?" I asked sarcastically.

"The place is just 5 blocks away from here and not a lot of mammals were there at this hour, here you go guys." he said tossing each of us our 'to go' salmon, the salmon looked well cooked, not as I normally had it but it was still equally delicious, in just 20 seconds I finished my salmon.

"Holy shit, you already finished?" asked Forrest

"New record, huh?" I proposed. "What did you get for yourself Nick?"

"Crickets and some blueberry pie."

Forrest began to choke in his piece of salmon but quickly swallowed it asking Nick "Did you say crickets?"

"Yes, want some?" asked Nick offering a hand full of them.

"Fuck no!"

"Woah, what's with your new vocabulary? You don't want Todd catching those words do you?"

"I won't Nick, and he knows it, he just refrains himself from mentioning bad words most of the time." I say trying to defend Forrest.

"Either way, more for me." Nick just started gobbling up his crickets, which I also considered disgusting, and hs blueberry pie. In just a minute he was done, while Forrest was 3 quarters done.

"For a predator you sure eat slow, I would have finished that by now." critisises Nick

As Forrest chews his last piece of salmon he declares, "I prefer to eat my food slowly or else I will get hiccups."

"Bah, who cares about hiccups, either way, I feel satisfied with my food, Todd would you like to join me on a night stroll?"

"Maybe tomorrow, right now I feel sleepy." I said yawning.

"Never thought I'd see the day a fox would reject a night stroll, but after all it's your decision, I'll be back in around an hour or two, if you are not awake by 8 o'clock I'll wake you guys up."

"Thanks Nick," I answer "have a good night."

"Good night you two." with those final words I took off my jacket and placed it on a pillow form liying down beside Nick's chair.

(P.O.V. Nick)

By the time I arrived Forrest was already sound asleep, couldn't say the same for Todd though, he was shivering in the cold, feeling pity for the poor guy, I lifted him and placed him in my chair and using his jacket pillow as a blanket. He stopped shaking as a smile started to appear in his face which later catched on to me, he adjusted himself a bit more and continued his sleeping. I then look into Forrest's direction, he was still asleep, curiosity kept making me wonder of who he was, but something much stronger told me to just go to sleep, maybe I was tired, but whatever it was it made me sleep in the ground in an instant.
