Chapter 2

After a few minutes Judy awoke and Nick relaxed. She sat up and stared at her Fox who now happened to be a Rabbit. Oh Sweet cheese and crackers! It wasn't a dream, she thought.

"Nick, you're a Rabbit!"

"I know and you're my bunny again."

She blushed.

"Someone has a really bad sense of humor."

"I guess we better keep our appointment with Jim."

Her Fox called his friend and explain the new situation. Jim agreed to see them as soon as they could get there. They showered together as they always did, but this time unlike every other they only showered. As they were dressing Judy's phone rang.

"Judy, I'm downstairs," Ben said. "Can I talk to you and Nick?"

"Well …"

"Please!"

"Yes, come on up."

A minute later they heard a knock and Judy opened the door. Judy looked at the Cheetah and just stared.

"Ben?"

"Yes."

He was still a Cheetah, but now he was a tall, sleek, and well muscled one.

"Come in," Judy said taking his hand and shutting the door. "Nick!"

He stepped into the room and smiled.

"Hi Ben! You changed!"

"Nick?"

He looked at his friend in shock.

"This is what happens when you fall in love a bunny."

Despite herself Judy laughed and a moment later Ben joined her.

"You woke up like this?" Ben asked looking at Nick.

"So did Nick and I."

Ben examined her.

"It happened to me yesterday and then both Nick and I today. Yesterday I was a fox and today I was back to normal."

Ben looked surprised.

"How are you feeling Ben?" Nick asked.

"Actually better than I ever have," he said and smiled. "I've always had a weight problem and I'll tell you something else. I no longer crave sugar!"

"Ben, we're going to see a doctor," Judy said and put her hand on his arm. "Why don't you come with us?"


"I'm glad you guys are here!" Jim said and looked at the Cheetah questioningly.

"Ben was changed too," Nick explained.

"I was extremely overweight and now …," he said and shrugged.

Judy, Nick, and Ben went through the same procedure that she had the day before with similar results.

"Judy, everything that had been done to you yesterday has been undone," Jim said shaking his head. "I don't know if they reused you old body parts or these are new ones, but I can't find an incision anywhere. I wish I could learn how they did this. It could help so many animals."

"Jim is really important now?" Nick asked. "I'm glad Judy's back to being a bunny, but …"

"Can't you see how this could help injured or burned animals?"

"I can," Judy said looking at her Fox.

"Look what they did for Ben," Jim said looking at the Cheetah. "They removed all the tissue and you said that you craving for sugar is gone?" Ben nodded. "They must have done something to his brain to turn that craving off."

"And Nick your situation is much like Judy's was yesterday."

"Unfortunately there's absolutely nothing I can do for either of you," he said.

"I don't want to go back to the way I was," Ben said.

Later he called Chief Bogo and requested emergency leave. Then he simply disappeared.


Over the next week in cities across the planet the same thing happened to other animals. Of course it became public after only two days. As it continued and world government could do nothing the public began to panic. The entire ZPD was out in force. Judy and her Fox were on walking patrol near the train station when then heard a humming sound. Like the rest of the animals they looked up and saw a descending shape. All those old science fiction movies flashed through her mind. As the spaceship gradually came lower the square quickly cleared and it settled to the ground.

The spaceship was long with short stubby wings and sat on six legs with four large engines set in the back. After less than a minute it began to open. Judy and her Fox stood close and held hands. An individual was silhouetted in the hatch for a moment and then began to walk down the ramp. To Judy's surprise he was making a beeline directly toward them. The alien was different from any animal. He was tall and had no fur except for a bit atop his head and a strip over each eye. The rest was normal – one head, two arms and legs, hands, two eyes, a mouth and nose. Nick tried to step in front of her, but she stepped passed her Fox and walked to meet him halfway. The alien dropped to his knees putting himself at eye level with them. Judy smiled. Then he extended a hand and she took it. She felt her Fox's hand on her shoulder.

"My name is Robert Smith," he said slowly in Zootopian. "I have been learning your language so if I make a mistake or say something you don't understand please let me know."

"I will," she said and smiled. "You speak our language quite well. My name is Officer Judith Laverne Hopps. Please call me Judy."

"I know," he said and looked at her Fox. "You are Officer Nicholas Piberius Wilde, correct?"

"Yes," he said staring wide eyed.

"I have come to see you two and several others who were abducted."

"Can you change Nick back?"

"Yes, please follow me."


Soon most of the ZPD officers had concentrated in the square, but the crowds were so large that they couldn't be kept away. So for the next hour every news channel on the planet showed the spaceship and speculated on the reasons it was here and why the two ZPD officers had followed the alien inside. Then the spaceship reopened and Judy and Nick walked down the ramp followed by three aliens.

"Officer Hopps!"

Chief Bogo stood before the crowd with his hands on his hips and the usual grumpy look on his face.

"Chief Bogo," Nick said and smiled.

"Something funny Wilde?"

"When you hear the story you might think so."

"They're called Humans," Judy said and put a hand on one Human's arm.

"Nice to meet you," Robert said extending a hand. "Judy told me all about you."

Chief Bogo looked at the hand for a moment and then took it. The crowd quieted and then a few seconds someone clapped. Soon the crowd was clapping and cheering. Then crowd gently pushed past the ZDP officers surround them and then moving on to look at the spaceship. Chief Bogo felt several pats on the back.

"You're a hero," Judy said and winked.

For the first time since she'd meet him the Chief actually looked embarrassed. Judy grinned and her Fox snickered.

"Why were all those animals changed?"

The human looked embarrassed now.

"It was all a practical joke," Robert said.

"It certainly wasn't funny!" Chief Bogo said gruffly.

"No, it wasn't."

"Our laws were broken!" Chief Bogo said quietly. "I want those individuals."

"I understand," Robert said resignedly.

"Who are they?"

"Teenagers," Judy said.

Chief Bogo facepalmed.
