Later…
A male panther came into the warehouse and smiled at the kids.
"Hey dad," Sparks said waving.
"Hi Sparks. I'm glad you called me, or I'd be freaking out about your stranger danger," the male said.
He turned to the boys in the group.
"Have you been doing your homework Jason?,"
Jason looked up at the big cat.
"Yup,"
"Well?,"
"One sec,"
Jason put another bit of food into his mouth before walking over. The two began to walk towards each other until they past each other and the male panther checked his coat.
"Oh no. Where's my wallet?,"
He turned to Jason, how had a miscivous smile and pulled the wallet out from his pocket and held it out from him. Nick and Judy were shocked that the panther actually chuckled, grabbed the wallet and patted Jason in a playful manner.
"Excellent Jason. Your an amazing fox. A wonderful student. And as a reward…,"
He said reaching into his pocket, but soon became confused and checked the other pocket.
"Oh now where did I put that-,"
He was interested by the sound of his daughter clearing her throat. She pointed to Jayson who was inspected the cover of a brand new looking detective book. He chuckled.
"The latest edition and audiograughed?," Jason said and looked up.
He ran over and jumped onto the older panther and wrapped his arms around his neck, the panther was shocked for a minute before returning the embrace.
"Thanks Freddy," Jason said nuzzling him. Freddy smiled and put his paws under Jason's arms pulling him a little away so they could make eye contact.
"Always get the finest for you four my boy," he said and lowered Jason back to the ground.
"Wait hold on. You're encouraging this?!," Judy exclaimed.
Freddy looked confused.
"Of course. It's the law of the city,"
"Always be what everyone expects you to be," the four kids said in unison, seeming bored, while doing so.
…
Nick and Judy were walking with the kids.
"Ok, so wait. The law of your city is to basically follow up to your species expectation," Nick asked.
"Basically yes," Sparks said.
"That's crazy. No one would make that a law. You guys are making that up," Judy said annoyed.
"What?," Adam said.
"Ignore her, stubborn bunnies will be stubborn bunnies," Jason said deadpanned.
Judy smiled but she walked over to him.
"I'm sorry but have I done something to offend you?,"
Dylan's eyes went wide and he made violent slashing motions,while mouthing no repeatedly, from behind Jason.
"You mean other than, stalking me and my brother around our city, blackmailing us, scare my brother, and let's all not forget that whole press conference a couple months ago," Jason said.
"That incident was fixed," Nick and Judy said at the same time.
"Ya. I know. Too little too late for this city. Some of us are having a hard enough time getting out of bed without a blockhead causing speciesist ammunition,"
Judy scowled at him.
"Aw kid, is someone projecting feelings onto others?," Nick said.
"Someone keep him away away from me!," Jason said backing away from Nick.
