The continent of Zootopia was divided into several different countries including; Downtown, Sahara Square, Tundratown, Little Rodentia, the Rainforest, Zoo City, the Savanna, Meadowland, the Canal, the Marshlands, the Nocturnal District and Outback Island.
The whole continent had been said to give all the animals, well only to herbivores. If you were a prey, you would be given everything; the best money, the best food, the best houses and the best careers. Heck! They were even treated like celebrities. No matter what a prey did, they were always assumed to be 100% innocent. But for the predators, it was a sad different story; since they were always assumed to be dangerous people, they had to fend for themselves in the world, even if it meant becoming criminals. For Nick and the rest of his friends, it was becoming a team of scandal artists.
Nick, Finnick and Gator arrived at the house where they, Jasper, Klondike and Benny lived. It really wasn't that big, so our friends didn't have a lot of money and a few of them had to share their rooms (there were only two).
"Hey guys" said Nick as he walked in.
"Hey Nick, hey Finnick, hey Gator" said Benny.
"Great to see you three made it" Klondike added "So how was your day?"
"Some stupid elephant kept telling us to get lost" Nick sat on the table "So it really was difficult for us to pull off today's scam"
"And I had to be the baby again!" Finnick added "I hate being the baby!"
"That's nothing" said Klondike "Earlier today, some penguins tied me up, threw me onto an iceberg and tried to make me drift away at sea"
"That's nothing" said Panther "I was going to buy us some groceries today and some idiot monkeys swiped them! I tried to tell the owner, but he wouldn't help me just because I'm a panther"
"I went to buy some donuts, but the manager wouldn't let me buy any" Benny stated "They said they had the right to refuse service to carnivores like us"
"Been there" Nick remarked.
"I was just minding my own business when all of a sudden, some lemmings ran over my tail and laughed at me" said Gator "People saw it and didn't even care"
"I hate Zootopia" said Finnick "Nobody likes us predators and prey's get to have all the fun"
Yep. No matter what, prey's ran the continent and predator's didn't get anything.
"Yeah" said Jasper "Whenever they do something to us, we get in trouble and they get off scot-free"
"Wish there was a place where we could roam free without these stupid shock collars" Benny sighed.
"That way we could have as much fun as we wanted" Gator added.
"Not to mention feast on tasty and juicy meat" Jasper added "I've always wanted to try pork chorizo"
"And no prey's to bully us" Klondike added.
"Like some kind of family fun center" Finnick snapped his fingers.
"You just gave me a perfect idea, guys" said Nick "We could make that place happen! But we're going to need some money to do so"
"How are we going to get any money?" asked Benny.
"Simple" said Nick "I'll call Ike and see if he has anything I can use to build the model of our place"
"And I'll call Reggie to see if he would like to help" Gator added.
Reggie was a lion that Nick and his friends befriended during their childhood. He always had dreams of being king like history had anticipated his species as. Ike was a black and white beagle who had spent his life as a homeless street urchin after his family was taken by some bulls. Luckily, the six friends had taken them in. This meant more space had to be had, which was convenient since they didn't have a lot of stuff on account of they were poor.
"You don't have to rub it in" Nick told the narrator.
Sorry, just reminding the readers, just in case they haven't been paying attention.
"Can you just get back to the story?" asked Finnick.
Yes, I believe I will. A few days later, our heroes had finished building the model and were ready to get their business loan. Nick went inside the bank to propose his new idea.
"What does every predator in this city want? A hotspot! An escape from everyday life! A place where it's main priorities are fun and games" Nick told the banker "Say hello to..."
Nick unveiled his model right before the banker's eyes.
"...WILD TIMES!" he finished "It's a little fun zone for Zootopia's most under appreciated race; Predators! They say you can't buy happiness, but now you can. Only $19.95 each! Look, I have the staff, I've found a building and I have the plans all worked out, but all I need is a loan from the bank. Will you help me?"
The lemming banker grabbed a stamp that said "REJECTED" and stamped it right onto Nick's paper. Nick tried every other bank around Zootopia, but they all rejected his loan applications, now matter how sincere he was. All just because he was a fox, he couldn't get any credit from any of the banks. He went back outside to his friends, who were all bummed out from traveling around the place.
"It's hopeless guys" said Benny "We've tried every bank and they won't help us"
"I guess we should just give up guys" Ike sadly said "I mean, we've done every single thing we could"
"It's days like this when I wish I were a rabbit" said Reggie "That way we could get the money"
"This sucks dude" said Finnick "We'll never make predators feel welcome and we'll never achieve our goal"
"Guys just remember that we're a club" said Gator "And as a club, we have to stick together and look out for each other! We can't give up now"
"Well there's one thing we can do, but it would be totally unethical" Reggie told them.
"What would be unethical?" asked Benny.
"We could go to the Arctic district and get money from the mob, but we could get in trouble" Reggie replied.
"Guys, we have to do this" said Nick "The banks won't help us, so we'll have to go to the mob for help. Desperate times call for desperate measures..."
A few hours later, our heroes had finally made it to Tundratown in the Arctic North district of the continent, where they were to meet the mob boss, Klosov the Polar Bear. They snuck to the back of the building and Nick knocked on the door nervously. Just then, two eyes peeked through some sort of slot.
"What's the word?" asked the person hiding behind the door.
"Frosty and Frozen" Nick whispered.
The polar bear opened the door and Nick approached the boss, Koslov.
"You call fox?" asked Koslov.
"Yes sir, I did" said Nick "You see, my friends and I are making a fun zone for predators like us. I have the building, the staff and the plans, but I don't have any money to fund it and you're our last hope. So would you please make a widdle foxes wish come true?"
Koslov snapped his fingers and lent Nick a big stack of money.
"Pay back" said Koslov.
"Thanks" Nick backed out of the building "I will use it wisely"
Nick ran out of the place and back to his friends, who were catching snowflakes with their tongues.
"So how'd it go, Nick?" asked Reggie.
"Guys, we're in the money" Nick showed them the huge paper stack.
Author's Note:
It looks like Nick and his friends have found their silverly lining; they've started their own business just for carnivores. Unfortunately, it looks like they've gotten their funding illegally. Hopefully, the cops won't find out about it. Stay tuned for more.
