CH. 4
*15 Years Later*
Nick is currently in his small office wearing his white button down collar shirt with a tied black tie and a pair of black jeans, was looking over all of the reported history of his client. Who so happens to be a 94-year-old female sheep, before putting all the papers in a nice neat pile. Then he placed them in the middle of his desk and grabbed his rubber stamp to press the printed words on it.
"Loan Rejected?." the old sheep looked at Nick with hurt in her eyes and voice. "There has to be a mistake."
Nick sighed in a deep depressed manner before resting his right cheek on his right fist. "Ma'am, you and your late husband did not pay off one of your last credit cards in the last four years. Along with not paying the monthly mortgage and taxes on your house on time. Serveal times if I might add. You are in huge debt, ma'am."
During the 15-year period, things have taken a real downturn for the Wild family. They kept on relocating back and forth from state to state in America. Staying in their new home does not last for about three months. Why?. It was not because of Judy, since she does not get any title promotions when being a cop which in fact was alright with her. No. It was all because of Nick.
Nick keeps on breaking their cover by sneaking around playing 'Undercover Hero'. Every time he gets caught by anyone at any time of day, Clawhasuer has to come to the rescue and then relocate them. Even Nick is hurting the NSA financially by doing what he is doing, even though Judy keeps on giving her husband one of her signature tiresome speeches. One of her speeches includes saying that they need to think about their kids' needs and make a solid permanent homestay. Currently, they moved back to Zooptopia and reside in the suburbs with an amazing view of the city itself. Whatever money they had left from their minimum wage and from NSA, Nick and Judy purchased a nice four-bedroom first-story home with a very small front yard and a medium-sized backyard, for Judy could have her garden and grow her carrots and blueberries. The two were fortunate enough to buy their new house in full.
So no mortgage payments. But it hurt their bank accounts and had to work extra hard hours on their jobs to make it back. Judy gets her regular salary as a cop, while Nick gets his lousy crappy salary with his bank job as a loan officer. To make an irony, the building that Nick works at is the exact same building he encountered and sadly failed to apprehend Bull Frogyage.
"Oh, please. Oh, please, young man, find it in your heart to go and see any loopholes in the attempt of getting that loan." said the old sheep, with sadness in her eyes while hoping to get a positive response.
Nick sighed. "Look ma'am, I..."
Nick was stopped when he heard the ringtone and the picture of his wife. "Hold that thought, ma'am."
Nick picked up his phone and answered. "Hi, baby."
Somewhere in the Savannah Central District, Judy, along with her female kangaroo police partner, was arresting a young male kangaroo. Her partner was putting her muscle force into making the young boy get inside the car.
"Get in and shut up!." the female kangaroo officer ordered.
"Ah, come on, Mom, be gentle." the young male kangaroo with handcuffs behind his back said, when being put into the back.
"I will tell the boys in juvenile hall to be gentle on your ass on the first week of your stay." the female kangaroo officer said seriously.
"Oooo, ouch." Judy cringed at the thought of jail rape before walking away a bit to speak to her husband. She spoke with a cheery positive attitude. "Hi, foxy!. How are you?."
"Decent." Nick spoke while looking at his computer. "You?."
"Outstanding." Judy put her phone on the other ear. "Well, today marks the day that we have stayed in our current home for one year. So, I thought we should celebrate. I'm thinking about whipping us a nice seafood spread."
"Hmmm, what is on the menu for dinner tonight?." Nick asked with a little interest while debating on helping his client's current issue.
"Well, I'm going to pull out those frozen packs of twenty great white shark thick steaks and stir-fry them. Then I am making extra large Italian-style shrimp alfredo rice noodle pasta. A yummy bowl of salad. And good old country-style deep dish blueberry pie for dessert!." said Judy, with enthusiasm.
"Sounds lovely, Judy. Really. Can't wait to sink my fangs into your wonderful meal. I will meet you and the kids at home when I'm done working. Hopefully." said Nick, making up his mind about his client.
"Well, speaking of one of our kids." Judy sighed while taking a bite of her carrot donut. "I'm heading to the elementary school to pick up Dash. Our little boy has once again got himself another trip at the principal's office."
Nick did not want to know what exactly happened to his second child. "I will hear about it at home, once I leave work. Judy, I have to let you go. I have a client. Yes, love you too. Bye."
Nick hung his phone up and put it in his pocket. Then he carefully gets up to have a good look around of the loan office area to see if anyone is not listening in and just doing their work with their client. Nick sat back down in his wheelie chair and then grabbed a pen and sticky note. The old sheep looked at what Nick was writing before being handed the note.
"Alright, dig this." Nick spoke in a whisper. "Call this number and tell them that I gave you this number. From there, you will receive the desired loophole you need to get your loan. Do not tell anyone about this, ma'am."
The old sheep smiled when putting the note into her purse. "Thank you, young man. You are a kind soul. A real hero."
Nick can not help but smile after hearing that. It felt good to hear someone call him a hero. Oh, how Nick misses the praise of being a hero and doing actual good for the sake of animalkind. However, that good feeling of doing a good deed was temporary. And that is all because of his pain-in-the-ass of a boss who is in charge of the loan office, barged right on into his office in anger. His boss is a low-down possum.
"Nick Wilde!." Gary slammed his fist down in the middle of Nick's desk.
Nick hates him but always submits in defeat. "Yes, Gary?."
Gary adjusted his coke bottle eyeglasses before straightening up his tie while still holding onto his frown. "How many damn times do I have to you?!. Huh?. Huh?!. Stop giving these unprivileged customers a freaking loophole handout!. The more these animals cheat this bank to get the money, the less money we have for ourselves. Money does not grow on freaking trees!."
"Yes, sir, I understand." Nick had that depressed defeated facial expression. "It will never happen again."
"And it better not happen again for your sake!. The bank's money pays all of our salaries. Have less in stock we have to do crazy layoffs. If we ever get to that point..." Gary pointed his finger at Nick. "Your fatass will be the very one to get laid off first!."
Gary exists out of Nick's small office to return to his luxurious office and resume his work. Nick sighed as he slumped down in his seat before looking down at his large round belly. It is worth knowing that after that day of both his and Judy's beautiful daughter was born and the President signed the ban bill, Nick had let himself go. He has been eating nothing but fried fast food and consuming sodas like mad. Heck, he always brings home family-size fill-up meals of America's yummy beloved favorite Kentucky Fried Crickets aka KFC to feed his family from time to time, until Judy makes sure she makes dinner for her family that we're helathy. Regardless of being a country girl and being born in BunnyBurrow, Judy will not eat or tolerate the consumption of insects. Especially from KFC. Their kids would love to eat it since they are part foxes, but Judy will throw up if even taking a bite.
Especially when she sees her two kids sucking their greasy fingers and saying the famous 'It's Finger Lickin Good' slogan from the old gray-haired fox whose name is Colonel Sanders in front of their mom, just to see her run to the toilet and barf hard to their amusement. Speaking about one of the kids. Nick and Judy's daughter/eldest child, Violet, who has on a galaxy-themed purple t-shirt with matching purple jogging pants, was sitting at the front of her high school behind the brick wall of the steps currently on her phone playing on her favorite mobile game. Just like her little brother, Violet Wilde is a special case. Like every animal who has scientific knowledge about interspecies mating, know that there is an extreme reproduction limit when mixing cellular genes. This means an interspecies couple can only produce up to two children and possibly four.
Unfortunately for Judy, she can only and I mean only permanently have two hybrid kids. Why?. Well, bunnies can successfully have a huge helping of children with the same biology. But when trying to make pups with someone who is not a bunny will only produce two pups. Judy has it worse than any other interspecies woman. She suffered a serious injury when being on cop duty when doing a high-speed chase on the highway. It resulted in a massive crash with Judy having a very thick sharp metal make contact with her stomach. After the successful sugary removal, the surgeon told Judy that the metal had stabbed and moved around in her womb, causing it to be completely damaged. Meaning that Judy's reproductive days are officially over. Either way, she permanently can only make two kids with a different animal once anyway.
Now, back to Violet Wilde. Violet is a depressed one. Not by choice, I assure you. Her genetics is the side effect of being made by two different animals. When she was one year old, they had her tested and found out that she was born with a rare disorder. A disorder that is natural birth depression. Meaning that she looks, feels, and talks depressed. Especially with her rabbit ears always down to show her deep depression. In order to make her less depressed and a bit more cheerful, the doctor has forever prescribed Violet an ultra-golden medical marijuana card. The fourteen-year-old hybrid bunny-fox can get all the cannabis-infused foods for free. With the paying of the twenty-dollar copay of course.
Even though born with high depression it did not damage Violet's everyday routine. She is happy despite the animals do not see or tell based on her small smile. She has a wonderful family that she loves dearly, especially how much she just loves her sweet Xbox One X gaming console. Violet only had three problems that some kids her age go through. One, she has zero confidence in herself. Two, she is unbelievably nervous in verbal speaking, meaning she is tongue-tied. And three, she is too scared of coming out of the closet despite the fact her school supports interspecies. Yes, sir, Violet is having interspecsexual tendencies. Who is the lucky male animal that Violet has her violet eyes on you asked?.
For starters, he is one of the school's star athletes in the pro wrestling program. He is well known for being the most kindhearted well great role model animal in the whole school. Very caring. Very understanding. And very sweet. Those are the things that make Violet fall over heels for him. But what are the odds of him wanting her?. A hybrid bunny-fox. It made Violet sigh on that note. But the thought of her crush's reputation of being an understanding animal just made her smile back.
RING! RING! RING! RING!
Violet jumped up from her mobile gaming and got up on her feet. Remembering that the reason why she is outside and not inside until school lets out is that she is one of the smartest students in the school. As a result, she gets special privileges. One of them is getting out of school too early. The benefits of hitting those books will pay off is what her mom always told her. Violet's attention is drawn from the school's entrance as the double doors fly open and out come a few animals. What caught her eyes was her crush. That lucky male animal that won Violet's heart is in fact a fourteen-year-old chimpanzee, named Blue Eyes. Blue-Eyes Rodman
(A/N): In case no one knows. The chimpanzee named Blue Eyes in this story is in fact the same Blue Eyes from the movie, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. This means that the reboot Planet of the Apes franchise is cannon in the story, despite the existence of humans of course. So now you all know in case you are wondering. Back to the story.
Blue Eyes, who is wearing his school's varsity jacket with a pair of khaki pants, is walking down with a group of his ape friends while carrying his black leather gym back on his back while carrying his green bookbag in his right hand. He hooted when one of his friends made a joke while taking his time walking while not paying no attention to Violet looking directly right at him. Violet had a depressed smile as she somehow managed to speak up.
"Have a great afternoon, Blue Eyes." said Violet.
Blue Eyes stopped in his tracks. His ears had picked up the low shy voice that sounded like an angel. As a matter of fact, he heard that voice before during his online gaming play and chat when being on his Xbox One X when playing Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Not only that but he also recognized the voice when he was out doing a pro wrestling match for the school. To top it off, Blue Eyes knows the face that matches the voice. It made him excited to ask if she was interested in hanging out at his home sometime.
He turned to where the voice came from but did not see anyone there. Strange. He got closer and started sniffing up the area where he thought he had heard Violet. To his disappointment, Blue Eyes shrugged and resumed walking down the steps. With no one seeing it, Violet turns her head back to visible after turning it invisible. The plus side of being a hybrid is that her parents are supers. Which means that her genetics had a mutation. Instead of having super strength like her daddy or even having the ability to stretch her whole body like her mommy, Violet's superpower is invisibility. The downside is that she can not make her clothes go invisible along with her.
Violet sat down on the ground covering her mouth for a few seconds before letting it down and showing her excited grin.
"He looked at me. He really looked at me!." Violet eyes widen at what else had happened. "He even actually sniffed me. Score!."
Violet crawled to reach the front end of the steps wall to poke her head out to watch her crush get into his all-electric Jeep. Feeling her interspecsexuality kicking into high gear. At that same moment, a police interceptor SUV pulled up a put on a quick siren beep.
"Hi, pumpkin carrot!." Judy spoke to her daughter with excitement.
"Uh, oh, here comes the snitch's boss." commented a bear cheerleader in a picking kind of way.
"Mom this is so embarrassing." Violet commented when hurrying up to get to the car before hearing more animals laugh at her and calling her police favorite snitch. A downside of having a police for a mom.
"Do not pay them no mind, Vi." Judy watched her daughter get in the back and drive off. "They are jealous that you have a mom who is working for The Man."
Violet sighed. "That is just worse, Mom. Hope you are taking the easy route to get to home."
"Mmmm, not yet. We have to make a trip to the elementary." said Judy, keeping her eyes on the road.
"Oh, boy. What did that little brat do this time?." Violet said with the usual routine.
"Do not know yet. But I bet it has something to do with his usage of his powers." said Judy.
Violet pulled out her phone and resumed playing Marvel Contest of Champions to burn time since she had to wait a bit longer to get home. All because they have to pick up her little brother Dash from school. Again. Violet knows that her brother has an outstanding not to be proud of streak of getting himself into trouble and getting himself a trip to the principal's office. From the beginning, it was kinda exciting and all with Dash doing a bad-boy reputation like Bart Simpson from The Simpsons, but even Bart Simpson knows that using the same material over and over again can be stale.
"At least he has confidence within himself. Unlike me." Violet spoke under her breath while still playing her mobile game.
"Did you consume your daily dose of edibles today, Vi?." asked Judy, when making a turn.
"Just need to finish eating the other half of my double dark chocolate fudge, Mom." said Violet, when pausing her game to go dig into her bookbag to get her medical fudge.
It did not take long for Judy to arrive at the elementary school despite Violet keep on suggestion for her to turn the car's sirens and speed down. As always, Judy told her eldest child that using the sirens are for urgent moments only and not for taking an advantage of. Judy let Violet stay in the car with the A/C going as she made her way inside the building. She did not have to ask on where the office is since the office itself is right there as soon as you enter to anyone's conveyance. Judy entered in and is directed by one of the facility to where the principal's office is.
"Ah, Mrs. Wilde. Glad you made it here safely, officer." said Juila, with a pleased look on her face.
Judy closed the door behind her before looking at her son's female zebra principal who had a proper smile on her face. Then she looked at the other woman who was a cow who had her arms crossed and had an eager facial expression. Judy finally took her sights on her baby boy. Dash, who is a hybrid fox-bunny having the same color fur as his mom while having his father's green eyes, was sitting in the middle in front of the principal's desk with a second chair beside him. He glanced at his mom for a few seconds before quickly turning his head straight forward.
Judy had that 'You're In A World Of Trouble' facial expression on her face before making her way to sit beside her boy.
"Officer Wilde." Linda stepped up. "Perhaps you are wondering why your son is back here once again, yes?."
"Well, quite frankly Ms. Linda, it is the same old story, concerning about Dash." Judy eyed her son with a motherly look. "Now, I'm wondering what he did this time. Let alone do you have any proof of his actions?."
"Well, the actions that Dash committed was quite simple." Linda slowly walked over to face her disliked student. "This boy here has and literally put thumbtacks on my chair and might I add, it was very unbarring and painful."
Dash twitched one of his fox ears before whispering. "More like it gave you pleasure based upon your reaction. Both on your face and the sound of your voice."
Lina snapped and pointed at Dash in fury. "Don't get smart with me, little boy!. Or else!."
"Linda!." Julia warned her employee.
Judy was about to pull out her pepper spray and spray the cow with no hesitation. Regardless of what Dash did, Judy will not let anyone lay a paw on her boy. Linda calmed down.
"My apologies, Mrs. Wilde. It has been a stressful day." said Linda.
"Did you see him do it?. Again. Do you have any proof of his actions?. If not then we are done here." Judy told the teacher in seriousness.
Linda rubbed the back of her head. "Well, I did not see him do it. Yeah. But...I got that little troublemaker on tape."
Dash formally had his signature smirk on his face. The same smirk that matches his father's. But that all went away as soon as his teacher pulled out the remote control while seeing her have a victory grin of her own while shaking the remote sideways. Judy had that motherly frown on her face and showed it to Dash who is now scared beyond belief. If that camera somehow got lucky to capture Dash's superspeed then consider them to relocate to a far away state.
"See watch this." Linda hit play on the flatscreen that is bolted on the ceiling.
They all looked at the screen when it showed the classroom doing today's lesson. In the video, it showed Linda slowly taking her time to sit in her seat but then jumping up from it in a painful reaction. Judy can see it plain as day. She saw that fast glance went from point A to point B. Even Linda can spot that. But not for Juila. So in getting out of this situation, Judy was going to act like she did not see anything.
"You see that right?. Well, do you?." Linda looked at her boss in hopes she does.
Julia raised her brow and trying to find the words to say. "Uh, Linda?. When was the last time you had your vacation?."
"Oh, do not go there with me, Juila!." Linda was angry. "That boy is guilty!. Guilty I say!."
"Well, based upon my point of view." Judy spoke when getting up. "It is clear that instead of giving my son a good old-fashioned education that, I myself and my husband's taxes are paying like everyone else, then we are putting Dash in private school."
"Oh, take it from me, Judy, this will never happen again. You and Dash can go." Julia told them before hearing her teacher go crazy.
"You are letting him go?!. For real?!. Seriously?!." Linda slammed her hooves on the desk.
"Linda..." Julia tried to calm her down.
"Do not Linda me!. That boy belongs in juvenile hall!. For crying out loud you should be on my side here!." yelled Linda.
Julia sighed while rubbing her head. "Why me?."
Dash had his smirk in place while winking at his teacher before wiggling his bushy bunny tail. His victor smirk had come to a hurting end. Currently in the front seat looking out the window with a disappointed look on his face. Violet was too busy having her Beats headsets on her head and listening to her favorite artist The Weeknd's 'Blinding Lights' with her eyes closed. It is best to say that the teen is sound asleep. Leaving just Judy and Dash alone. While driving, Judy sighed at the situation with Dash. This was getting way too old and they needed to find a solution and fast.
"Dash, honey." Judy looked at Dash with a look of a concerned mother. "Mommy is not upset, mad, or angry at you. I love you. You know that. You and I both know that you have that unstable hyper energy within you. I know it is hard for you to just...stay still. We seriously need to find something constructive with your feet."
"Then let me play sports." Dash looked at his mom with slight excitement. "Let me play football."
"No way." Judy answered with no hesitation.
"Trackmeet?." Dash hopes for a yes.
"Oh, most definitely not. You know why." Judy takes another turn on the street. "It only takes the first try and everyone will know that you have superpowers."
"But I promise to run at a medium on average." Dash begged with both paws together.
"Dash Finnick Wilde." Judy spoke playfully with a short cackle. "You are an incredible boy. Just like your big sister. And with being incredible comes with responsibility. We may not to hide our powers but we need to respect them for our sakes."
Dash tilted his head. "But Mom, Dad have told me and Violet that our powers are God given. Meaning that our powers are a blessing. A blessing that should be shared with everyone and not kept in the basement, and treat it like a curse."
Judy sadly sigh after hearing that from her son. It was the exact same words that Nick once told her when they had their first date together. Nick's words had meaning behind them. He was right though. She just wishes that the world sees that especially the non-supers.
"But I forgot." Dash returned back to face the window. Resting his chin on his right fist. He had a disappointed look on his face and mumbled. "Unlike Dad, you sold out to your fellow Super brothers and sisters for the blue uniform and the support for the non-super. Trader."
Judy had that hurt look on her face while her heart was broken to hear something like that from her own blood. She did not say anything in response. She just resumed driving them back home and go work on making dinner as soon as she arrives to their house.
(A/N): Now, based on the recent review about me excluding Jack Jack in the story. I have a good reason. You see a while back, I did a horrible mistake in fan servicing my original story to this author who I will respect and not tell you the author's name. He wanted Jack Jack to be the full main center of the chapters of the saga of my story. We went back and forth on this and I told him that Jack Jack is a minor character and my main characters were the main people.
So anyway, when I started fan-servicing his request on my story, I received little to no reviews along with stats were extremely low. Regardless of the story, having good likes and followers. To make a long story short, he is the reason why I hated the baby character and just needed him to be excluded. What I have planned for this story and the planned sequel, does not need Jack Jack at all. Trust me. See ya in the next chapter.
