Hey everyone, I'm VickyT36, I saw the movie Zootopia, and I loved it, and got inspired to write this story, enjoy!
Chapter 1
In the city of Zootopia, in Savanna Central, there was an orphanage called Zootopia's Children's Home. A home for all the cubs, kits, calves, pups, kittens, piglets, and foals who didn't have families to take care of them.
The orphanage was a nice place. The home was well kept, the kids were properly fed and clothed, and in the orphanage there were playrooms, TV rooms, and in the back was a playground for the kids to play on.
One of the inhabitants of the orphanage was a seven-year-old mink named Rita, she had brown fur and green eyes. She'd lived at the orphanage since she was a toddler, but knew she once had a family. The one thing she did have from her past, was a stuffed doll that looked like her, who she named Ronnie.
She wore a light purple t-shirt, and a dark blue skirt, and so did her doll. She had friends at the orphanage, who were also her roommates. There was Millie, the sheep, Harold, the tiger, and Bobby, the giraffe.
Recently Millie, Harold, and Bobby had gotten adopted, leaving Rita alone, but she still saw them at school, and visited them in their new homes. At first she was sad to be alone, but cheered up when she saw the upside.
It was a miracle, when a kid at an orphanage could have a room all to themselves.
Her day began when her alarm clock woke her up at 7:00. She turned it off, got out of bed, grabbed her toiletries, and went to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and got returned to her home to get dressed.
After she was dressed she went downstairs to breakfast.
"Good morning, Rita." greeted the head of the orphanage, Mrs. Maxwell, a horse.
"Good morning, Mrs. Maxwell." Rita replied, getting a plate.
She got toast, eggs, and orange juice, and found a seat at the table. When she finished, she's gotten her backpack, and saw a paper thumb tacked to the bulletin board.
"Adoption Open House next month."
It was that time again, every two months the orphanage held an open house so adults could come meet the kids and consider adoption. Every time there was one Rita hoped someone would adopt her, but so far no one had considered it.
"Rita, your bus will be here soon for school." said Mrs. Maxwell.
"Okay, I'm going. Uh, Mrs. Maxwell, you think I have a chance at probably getting adopted next month?"
"Everyone has a chance at getting a family Rita, just be yourself, and when the time comes show everyone what a great kid you are."
Rita smiled.
"Thanks, Mrs. M, bye."
"Have a nice day."
Rita, and the other kids around her age waited outside for the school bus. When the bus arrived, everyone boarded, and Rita sat with her friends.
"Hey, guys." Rita told them.
"Hey, Rita." they said.
As they drove they talked, and then Rita brought up the subject about the adoption open house.
"There's gonna be an adoption open house next month."
"Oh, so how you feeling about it?" asked Millie.
"Well, Mrs. Maxwell just says to be myself and show everyone what a great kid I am."
"I'm sure you'll get a family, Rita, you're a great girl." encouraged Harold.
"Yeah, we got families, and you can get one too." agreed Bobby.
"Thanks guys."
When they got to school, they went to their classroom, and the day went by normally and quickly. On the school bus home, they kids discussed what they were doing after school.
"Well, I'm gonna head to the mall arcade with my mom, what are you guys doing?" questioned Bobby.
"I'm just gonna watch TV." said Millie.
"I'm going to the park, what are you gonna do, Rita?" asked Harold.
"Nothing just gonna hang out the orphanage."
"You know we miss living with you." Millie told her.
"I do too, but at least we still see each other at school."
"Yeah, see you guys tomorrow." said Bobby, getting off the bus.
One by one the kids got off, until the bus arrived at the orphanage.
"Hi, Rita, how was school?" asked Mrs. Maxwell.
"Okay." Rita replied, starting to go to her room.
"There's cookies in the kitchen if you want a snack."
"Thanks."
She stopped by the kitchen, grabbed a few cookies, and went up to her room. She ate her cookies, did a little homework, and watched TV in one of the TV rooms. Then the kids were called down for dinner.
At dinner Rita had some baked salmon, and later that night she changed into her pink short set pajamas, grabbed Ronnie, and settled down into bed. Little did she know outside the orphanage, someone was watching her.
Outside was a black Ford parked across the street from the orphanage.
"Boss said to keep an eye on her, she has what we want." said a wolf.
"Right." agreed a caribou, and they both drove off.
