This is the 8th chapter of the story. After the ending of my fiction war story "The Yihe", my morale was now improved and with that, here's the new chapter. Please enjoy and leave a review about this chapter/story, everyone!
Chapter 8 - Splero's ZPD Graduation Part 1
After just a few months, Splero's performance in the training fields were finally completed. Along with the other cadets that were now graduated as new ZPD officers, he was now graduated as a true official ZPD ally for Officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as well with the other superiors of the ZPD. With his newly issued ZPD Police Uniform worn, he was given the Police Badge by Judy and Nick. After that, Splero exchanged respectful salutes as the others cheered and tossed their berets high into the air.
During the party, Splero was now enjoying the moment of chatting his fellow officers while Judy and Nick enjoyed their refreshments.
"Like what I'm saying, everyone can achieve the impossible unless if that particular person show off his or her very own guts for the moment." - Splero remarked -
Some agreed while others were busy on their refreshments. The duo then approaches him.
"How's your day, sire?" - Nick asked -
"It's good, Nick. By the way, good thing the effect of the dart that hit me long back had finally wore off by now." - Splero replied -
"Now that's a relief." - Judy remarked -
"Indeed." - Splero agreed -
He then noticed something that Nick continued to lick on.
"What's that, Nick?" - Splero asked -
"This? It's a Pawpsicle, Splero. Zootopia's novelty treat." - Nick replied -
"Where did you get that?" - Splero asked -
"By the refreshment counters." - Nick answered -
"To be honest, I'll like to taste that novelty treat somehow." - Splero said -
Splero then went to the counters. He then took a pawpsicle and he checked for a bit before taking his firsthand taste of it. As his tongue touched the frozen treat, Splero could realize that he was taken to heaven by it. His deep purple eyes go wide then he calmed down as the tastes pleasures him further. Nick and Judy watches him.
"I think he likes it, Judes." - Nick said -
"Well...Since he liked it, Congratulations. You have a very new partner in the ZPD that was going to have diabetes sooner or later." - Judy replied with a tease -
Nick scoffs. Splero finally finished on devouring his first Pawpsicle before he returned.
"Man! That was heavenly to me. The taste of it really taken me to paradise too!" - Splero commented -
"Yeah but you should only consume those treats of mine in your risk. You might get a case of chronic diabetes just like what Judy said to me long ago." - Nick replied with a simple caution -
"I know but I already got diabetes, by the way." - Splero responded with a confession -
Both Nick and Judy were silenced upon hearing that. As they exchanged looks with each other, the First Colony Emperor-turned-ZPD officer then cleared his throat.
"Excuse me, guys. I'm going to the washroom for a moment." - Splero excused -
As he left, Nick and Judy faced with one another.
"I can't believe that he had already got a case of diabetes." - Nick said -
"Me too, Nick. He ate one and got that chronic case instantly? That's impossible!" - Judy replied -
"I think he already got that long ago before he even get here." - Nick guessed -
"Why did you say that?" - Judy asked -
"I dunno. I'm going to ask him about that later." - Nick replied with a shrug on his shoulders -
Splero was just washing his hands on the washroom's sink. He wiped it clean with his handkerchief. As he went out, a familiar voice was heard.
"Splero?"
The human turned around and he saw Michelle. She was wearing a green T-shirt, dark red pants and blue canvas shoes as well with a civilian beret on her head. The vixen was smiling on him.
"Hey there. It's been a while." - Michelle greeted -
"Hello, Michelle. It's a pleasure to see you again." - Splero replied -
The vixen approaches him in a slow but sultry manner. Like a snake, she moved forward and glided her soft paws on his Police Badge that was pinned on his chest.
"Congratulations on your graduation, Splero. I hope Zootopia will need you soon." - Michelle praised him -
"T-Thanks, Michelle. You f-flattered me so much." - Splero stammered -
She then gazes his purple eyes with her very sharp red eyes. Splero blushes on heavily.
"Can I join you with the party?" - Michelle asked -
"Umm...S-Sure, Michelle. You're welcomed here, b-by the way." - Splero replied, stammering -
"Thanks, savior." - Michelle thanked him and giggled softly -
Splero snickered nervously as he escorted her to the party.
This is the end of Chapter 8. Splero had finally graduated in the ZPD. Little that he know that Michelle is also making a visit for him in his very special event. Wonder on what they were going to do? Find out on Chapter 9, everyone!
