Nick and Judy arrived in the sleepy town of Forest-Vale for their honeymoon. Judy was awestruck at the giant trees that were spread around the place.
"This place... it's so beautiful!" Judy said in wonderment at the tall trees.
"Yeah, can't really stand the smell though. Not enough urban decay and the smells of the city." Nick said as the car slowed down among the dirt roads.
"You've never complained at the farm." Judy teased.
"Yes, but it didn't smell like trees everywhere you went. Ah, and here's Gran-Gran's place." Nick said as he pulled up in the small houses driveway. He made his way to the front door, and knocked. His sister, Angela answered. She was a red fox like Nick, and wore a teal hoodie, daisy duke shorts, and a brown wig.
"Nick!" Angela said as she hugged her brother. "It's wonderful to see you again!" She said warmly.
"Room for one more?" Judy asked as she squeezed herself into Angela's hug.
Angela was caught off guard. "Oh! You must be Judy!" She said in surprise. "I honestly thought it was some kind of joke when I heard that my brother was marrying a bunny."
"Well he did, so would you mind helping us unpack?" Judy asked.
"I would... but Grandma and Grandpa are sleeping, and I don't want to risk waking either of them up. They get REALLY-"
"Angela? Is that Nick at the door?" An old women's voice asked.
"Uh... yes, Gran-Gran." Angela said nervously.
"Well why didn't you say so sooner? I want to see him." Grandma Wilde said, and she did.
"You look... a lot younger then I assumed." Judy said.
"Why thank you dearie... though I'm afraid my eyes ain't as good as they used to be." Grandma said as she put on a pair of glasses. "My but you're a pretty bunny. You wouldn't happen to be Nicky Boys wife, would you?" She asked.
"Oh I am, I'm Judy." Judy said.
"Huh... well just call me Mabel." Mabel said as she and Judy shook paws.
"Well, I'm sure that you've had a long drive. So let me get your things." Angela said.
"And I'll-"
"Grandma, you're almost eighty. You shouldn't be exerting yourself like this." Angela interrupted.
"Oh it's no bother, it's just some bags with cloths and snacks. Also, be careful with the pies. There homemade... and smell MAGNIFICENT." Nick said.
"Well that settles it." Mabel said as she and Angela went to Nick and Judy's car.
Judy looked stunned and dumbfounded. "I... she's EIGHTY?!" She said in surprise as she and Nick went into the house.
"And your point is?" Nick asked nonchalantly.
"S-She looks like she's fifty, AT LEAST!" Judy said.
"Well Gran-Gran is spry for her age... apparently. Though if what you're getting at is that she should look as decrepit as an eighty year old fox should. Well one, that's very rude Carrots, and two is I was also expecting her to be in wheelchair or have a walker. I mean... I could have sworn that she needed an oxygen tank the last time I saw her." Nick said.
"Well... hopefully she hasn't gotten involved with anything illegal." Judy said nervously.
"NO. Nothing is going to ruin our honeymoon, and besides. I'm pretty sure that Forest-Vale is outside our jurisdiction anyway." Nick said.

A few hours later, Judy and Grandma Mabel were walking down the street. "So, where's Mr. Wilde?" Judy asked.
"Oh he's a heavy sleeper. Not even joking, Oscar can sleep for twelve hours straight. Can go from dead wide awake from coffee, to deep sleep like that." Mabel said as she snapped her fingers.
"And what about this neighbor were going to?" Judy asked.
"Well he moved in about a year ago. Real charmer of a Todd, Angela is sweat on him. Though he is kind of a weirdo, he lives with a young rabbit lady, about your age from the looks of her but she smells and acts like a newborn. You ever saw anything weird like that?" Mabel said.
Judy rolled her eyes. "Don't get me started... for crying out loud. Zootopia was attacked by a VERY well organized criminal organization last year. I've seen MUCH weirder then what you're telling me." Judy said as they arrived at the door of the house in question.
"Mr. Foxfeyson! It's Mabel!" Mabel said as she knocked on the door.
"Foxfeyson?... why does that name sound familiar?" Judy thought to herself. The door was answered... by a very familiar looking fox.
"Judy?!"
"Loki?!"
"Oh so you know each other? I had a feeling you were a city boy." Mabel said as Loki and Judy recognized each other.
"We've... ran into each other once or twice before in Zootopia." Loki said nervously, completely avoiding how he first met Judy. Specifically of how he gave Nick his Mask, and kidnapped Judy while she was Sierra Ultima and found out the truth... and for his troubles. Thor had tortured him with snake venom into his eyes to get out the truth of the matter for months up until the Battle of Zootopia happened.
"And it wasn't... well it's not something I'd like to bring up again." Judy said tensely.
"Well I'm sure you'll both make peace. Also, do you have that tea?" Mabel asked.
"Why yes, come in, come in." Loki said as he ushered Mabel inside.
"We're going to have some words... Mr. Foxfeyson." Judy said ominously.
"Alright," Loki said as he dragged Judy into another room. "Now why are you here?" Loki asked.
"Honeymoon with Nick. Now why are you here, and what are you doing with Nick's sister?" Judy said harshly.
"Oh... well that's actually pretty simple. I'm on vacation from Middengard, after that whole incident with the Mask and my uncovering of Sierra Ultima's nature. I've decided to stay in Mamgard... mostly to try to regain my wits after the months of SNAKE VENOM TO MY EYES. But as much as to plot revenge against Thor for what he did to me. As for Angela... I promise you, that I have no ill intentions for her. For crying out loud, she's my Land Lady. At worse I frequent-"
"SHE'S A LAND LADY?!" Judy said in surprise.
"My point is that I have no intention to do harm on Mamgard for the time being. My sights, for now is to make Thor pay for my torment." Loki said.
"And Mabel mentioned something about you living with a rabbit... one that looks like me." Judy said suspiciously.
"Well... here's the thing. After I was freed from Thor's torture. As I'm sure you remember, I came to Yorrik to try to convince him to just surrender. And I whispered something to you... something that allowed Nick's marriage proposal to get through to you, and overcome Sierra Ultima's control." Loki explained.
"And you're going somewhere with this?" Judy asked impatiently.
"Well... I MAY have most definitely... adoptedSierraUltimashortlyafterItransferedhertooneofyourclones." Loki said hastily.
Judy just stared in disbelief, and one her eyes twitched. "WHAT." Judy said flatly. Loki then hastily took Judy to a window facing into the backyard.
And in the garden, a rabbit women who was Judy's exact double was planting some flowers. "A bit of a far cry from the Artificial Intelligence that had you in its thrall for almost a year, don't you think? In the year since the Battle of Zootopia I've made the effort to help her along. Give her the opportunity to become her own person to the best of my ability... far better than with my actual children. By the time Thor came to power they were either dead, prophesized heralds of Ragnarok, or were just not talking to me at that point." Loki explained.
"Why-... no, HOW did you get Sierra Ultima into a different clone?" Judy asked.
"Magic... same as how I gave her self-awareness in the first place, it's not really all that complicated Mrs. Wilde-Hopps. As for the why however... I don't entirely remember. All I can say for certain is that it was not to use her as an instrument of revenge against Thor. Now I imagine you have MANY more questions, but would you really want to worry Mabel?" Loki asked.
"That depends... why is she so spry?" Judy asked.
Loki just groaned. "Magic apples... there how the Anesir maintain their immortality."
"And Sierra Ultima herself?" Judy asked.
Loki groaned again. "She hasn't killed anyone... worst thing that has happened with her, involved a local marmalade maker and a crazed bear." He explained in frustration. "Look, I will give you something if you promise to not tell any of this to Angela or the elder Wildes. It's not too much," He said as he handed Judy a strange glowing egg. "But it should give you and Nick much joy... I also have a blog for taking care of a Spirit Guardian." Loki explained as he gave a smartphone like magical device to Judy.
"Judy, you done gawking with Foxfeyson?" Mabel yelled.

Several hours later, Judy had returned home with Mabel... and found Nick and Angela pinned to the floor by an older fox. "Come on Percy. I don't know how long you've had them under. But off of them you old coot!" Mabel said playfully to her husband as she got them off of their grandchildren.
Angela laughed, and Nick was hyperventilating. "Man... I forgot how much I hated being rough housed by Grandpa Percy." Nick said as Judy helped him up. "So... how'd Gran-Gran treat you?" Nick asked.
"One of the neighbors is Loki; he's living here with Sierra Ultima who he made sentient, and has been plotting revenge against Thor surrounding that whole incident where you got his Mask. What's more, he's been giving your grandparents magic apples that have been making them younger, and apparently your sister has a crush on him." Judy said.
Nick just looked dumbfounded. "...oh sweat cheese and crackers. Even when we're supposed to be on our honeymoon we can't get away from the weird... wait... do you think that Anna-"
"Nick, we are going to enjoy our honeymoon in spite of what's going on here. Also... Loki gave me these for not telling any of this to Angela." Judy said as she pulled out the glowing egg and the magic smartphone. "Apparently this is something called a 'Spirit Guardian', and this can access a blog Loki has made for taking care of one." She explained.
"What part of that sounds like a good idea to you?" Nick asked.
"Well so far, neither have done anything and- oh hold on. I'm getting... a call on this? From Clancy?" Judy said in confusion, she then answered the phone.
"Hello Judith, and to you as well Nickolas, I hope that despite your discovery's in Forest-Vale that your honeymoon is going well." Clancy said.
"Did Anna know about these-"
"No, she merely made arrangements so that you might have a quiet honeymoon... also, keep that Spirit Guardian egg. It will play an important part in things to come." Clancy said.
"And are we going to spend a year-"
"Olaf... trust me, the name will fit him perfectly." Clancy said.
"Anything else we should know?" Judy asked, hoping that Clancy wouldn't interrupt her or her new husband again.
"Nothing that Ms. Pandora has restricted me from saying. But I can say this... change will come." Clancy said ominously.
"No duh." Nick said dismissively.

Several weeks later. Pandora was examining her unborn self, eagerly awaiting when her parents will finally de-can her. She was pressing keys on a keyboard.
"-and with that. The last of Mullersons genetic blocks are gone. I can now actually lie to mom and dad!" Pandora said to herself with pride.
"Ms. Pandora. Your parents are on their way to de can your unborn self. Are you quite done in modifying yourself?" Clancy said.
"Let me see." Pandora said as she pulled up her shirt, revealing that there was a six-pack was underneath. "YES!" She said happily as she flexed about, feeling her new muscles. "And when I get back... well I'll get to work on those cybernetic implants." Pandora said.
"Don't you think that you're moving ahead too fast?" Clancy said.
"Nonsense Clancy, if anything I'm only pacing myself. Cause when I get back to the future... change will come." Pandora said.
"If you say so... and Nick and Judy will be here momentarily." Clancy said, and as if on cue. Nick and Judy entered the room.
"Okay... we've put this off for over a year. But it's time to finally de-can our little kitt!" Nick said excitedly.
"Excellent! Mom, if you would do the honors." Pandora said.
"So how exactly do I do this?" Judy asked.
"It's this button right here." Pandora said, directing her mother to a large red button. Judy pushed it. And the unborn kitt inside blinked her eyes. "I'll leave you to it. Clancy and I have been in the past to long anyway." Pandora said as she left the present, and went into the future.
The tank drained, and Judy got the infant Pandora out of the tank. "She's beautiful... welcome to the world Pandora." Judy cooed as Pandora's eyes fluttered open, and as she used a towel to dry Pandora off.
"I knew she was cute before she was born." Nick said proudly. Then something glowed in Judy's pocket. "What the?" He said in surprise, Judy took out the Spirit Guardian egg.
"It's... it's hatching!" Judy said as the egg cracked, and out of it. Emerged a glowing white furred creature with rabbit like ears, another pair of ears that vaguely resembled ram horns, deer like hooves on his feet, and large black eyes, he was also about the same size as Pandora.
"Well... hello Olaf." Nick said, the Spirit Guardian made his way to Pandora. Olaf licked Pandora's nose, she giggled and she licked him in turn.
"This... this is beyond cute!" Judy said, trying not to squeal.
"I know right?!" Nick said excitedly.
