This is the 9th chapter of the story. Despite the fact that I suffered a decline of my prestige and legacy of my literature career due to a malfunction of my vital tech, I continue on since some of my stories' completion as well as Filipino victory in the PacBrad 3 competition really increased my morale. Anyway, here's the new chapter!
PS: The victory in the PacBrad 3 actually drowned my technology problems that I faced earlier. Aside from that, the morale of my country was extremely high. To be honest, I'm not boasting the victory in any way and I'm just enjoyed with the results. Once again, here's the new chapter of the story. Have fun!
Chapter 9 - Splero's ZPD Graduation Part 2
Nick and Judy were surprised to see Splero returned with Michelle on his side. The vixen greeted the duo.
"Hey, guys. I know that I'm gatecrashing here but I'm just wanted to join the party to visit you both and my Splero." - Michelle greeted sincerely -
"Well...That's ok, Michelle. Besides, you're also welcomed here." - Judy said -
"Actually, I wanted to please her day today. She just wanted to enjoy the moment with me." - Splero confessed -
"I see your point, Splero." - Nick realized -
Splero cleared his throat and faces Michelle.
"Michelle, can I get some refreshments for you?" - Splero asked -
"Yes, please. Thanks for your hospitality." - Michelle replied with a thank -
"Pleasure." - Splero remarked with a smile -
Before he could make a few steps, Nick halted him.
"Wait, Splero." - Nick called -
"Yes?" - Splero responded -
"I forgot to tell you something." - Nick said -
"What is it?" - Splero asked -
"Chief Bogo wanted to hear your speech in the podium later." - Nick reminded -
"Anyhow, good luck on your speech with the ZPD." - Judy added -
"Thanks, guys." - Splero thanked them -
He then left to get some few refreshments for Michelle. The vixen sat down along with Nick and Judy.
So you wanted to see Splero often, eh?" - Nick teased -
Michelle blushed but she nodded. Judy didn't expected him on asking that directly.
"Nick, don't ask her like that! It's embarrassing." - Judy slightly rebuked him -
"No, no, no. It's ok, Officer Judy. I already know that you and Nick had finally realized that me and Splero were really compatible with one another." - Michelle eases her down -
Her confession took her by surprise.
"Y-You're serious?!" - Judy exclaimed in shock -
"Yes, I do." - the vixen replied -
Both the fox and bunny were quite astonished. A vixen was now linking with a male human that saves her life.
"I can't believe this. I mean, this is my first time to hear a Zootopian say that she's falling for the human savior that saved her very life!" - Nick remarked -
Michelle giggled to his shocked remark.
"Officer Wilde, you're so funny indeed." - Michelle said, smiling -
Nick could only smile in a nervous way. Splero finally returned with a good glass cup filled with pure sweetened blueberry and carrot juice mixed together.
"Hey, guys. I'm back again. Sorry for the delay." - Splero said -
"What's that?" - Judy asked -
"Ain't that a fresh refreshment, Splero?" - Nick added -
"Well...This is a good cup of pure sweetened blueberry and carrot juice, guys. I don't know of what Michelle likes so I improvised with the available refreshments by the ZPD Canteen." - Splero explained -
"Interesting. Can I taste it, Splero?" - Michelle requested -
"Uhh...Sure, Michelle. Please tell me about it's taste." - Splero replied -
He gave the cup to her. Michelle took a few sips of it. A smile then shone on her face.
"This is so good, Splero. I can't believe that you're a great mixer!" - Michelle remarked to him about her new drink -
Splero snickered.
"I carefully mixed the right ingredients on it. I believe my bartender skills were still good until now." - Splero remarked with a usual smile -
Michelle continued on enjoying her new drink. Splero then looked on his pocket watch.
"Oh! Look's like that it's time for me to make my Graduation speech in the stage, guys." - Splero realized -
Clawhauser then approaches Splero.
"Ah! There you are, Splero." - Clawhauser said -
"Hey there. Is Chief Bogo's looking for me?" - Splero asked -
"Yes, he does. He wants you to hear your speech in the stage's podium." - Clawhauser replied -
"Ok, then. Please tell him that I'm on my way for it." - Splero requested -
"I will!" - Clawhauser said -
"Thanks!" - Splero replied -
As Clawhauser dashes away, Splero faces the others.
"Please help yourselves out, guys. Be right back!" - Splero reminded -
He then dashes to the stage.
This is the end of Chapter 9. Stay tuned for Chapter 10, everyone!
