A/N: Hello there, I'm KingSnow5092. This is my first story about The Bad Guys after watching the movie it became my favorite instantly because this movie reminded me of another movie called Zootopia because Wolf and Diane reminded me of Nick and Judy since they're somewhat alike because Wolf is a former criminal like Nick was and Diane is the governor who fights crime like Judy except that the rabbit is a cop instead of the governor who fights crime as the former thief but they're somewhat alike. Wolf and Diane are both canines while Nick and Judy are predator and prey. Anyways, this story came into my head and was also inspired by the movie and the "Over the Edge" episode of Batman The Animated Series where Gordon finds out the truth about her daughter's secret turning out to be all the dream by Barbara after Scarecrow spray her with his fear toxin. I sometimes wondered what would happen if Diane's secret was exposed and this story came to my mind. Enjoy this story!

An Outfoxed Vixen
Chapter 1: The Truth is Revealed!
Written by: KingSnow5092
On a warm summer evening in the city of Los Angeles, CA, a large black car parked in the driveway of a large white suburban house with a purple roof, a white door, several windows, & a large garage door near the side of the house. A male gray wolf with yellow eyes, short, curved ears, a black nose, short tuft hair, tall, wearing a white suit with white pants, a black belt around his waist, white muzzle/inner fur, brown shoes, and a long bushy tail named Wolf with a bouquet of roses in his paws stepped out of his car, locked it, walked up to the door, he unlocked it with a spare key given to him by the owner, he opened it, went inside, closed it behind him, walked down the hallway, he knocked on the bedroom door, the owner called out for him to come in, he opened it, went inside, closed it behind him, turned around, and he stood in the house owner & the state governor named Diane Foxington.
Diane was a female red fox with green eyes, long, curved ears, a pink nose, shoulder-length hair, tall, slender and curvy figure, white muzzle/inner fur, wearing a long pink dress, pink heels, and a long fluffy tail and her bedroom was large with light purple walls, a pink carpeted floor, a large purple bed with a blue blanket and a white pillow, a nightstand next to the bed with an alarm clock, a large window near covered in drapes on the other side of the room, a large vanity desk with a large mirror, make-up and other beauty products, and a large TV at the end of the desk. She was sitting on the bed with a smiling face, her paws resting at her sides, and her leg crossed over her other leg. She had been waiting for him to come over so he could pick her up to the birthday party being held at the Goodness Gala because tonight was her birthday and they're holding the party there in her honor.
Wolf smiled back at her as he walked up to her bed, sat down next to her, and held out the bouquet in front of her.
"Happy birthday, Diane!" Wolf shouted cheerfully.
"Oh, thank you Wolfie!" Diane shouted cheerfully.
She then grabbed the bouquet from him, she then uncrossed her leg, she leaned forward, and she kissed him on the cheek. After that Wolf blushed a bright red as he rubbed his cheek with a silly smile on his face which made Diane giggle at him. She then got up from her bed, walked into her kitchen, placed the bouquet in the vase, walked back to her bedroom, and she sat back down next to her wolf friend. The canines then held paws together as they smiled and stared at each other for a very long time. They had fallen in love with each other ever since they had their first dance at the Goodness Gala, it was the best night for both of them. Everyone supported their relationship even Chief Misty Luggins who was now friends with Wolf and his friends while there were times that she didn't trust them because of their past criminal records she was still friends with them and even hang out together from time to time.
Wolf then turned to the camera to see the readers staring at them he then turned to Diane, he tapped her on the shoulder, he pointed toward the camera, she turned to see the readers, she smiled at them, they both turned around, and they both smiled and waved at the readers.
"Hey you! Yes you! It's been a while, hasn't it?" Wolf greeted as he pointed to them.
"Hello! It's genuinely nice to see you again!" Diane greeted as she waved to them.
"Hey! Why don't you come a little closer to us?" Wolf suggested as he waved them over.
"Come on, we'll won't bite." Diane assured them softly as she waved them to get closer.
The camera quickly zoomed into them but it was zooming in too quickly then it slammed right into them! They were pressed against the camera with their eyes widened, teeth bared, their cheeks squished, and their paws pressed against the camera, they knew they told the readers to get closer to them but this was too close for their comfort!
"OK! That's too close! A little too close!" Wolf shouted.
"Please, back up a little!" Diane pleaded.
The camera quickly zoomed out from the canines until it was close enough for them not to suffocate, they then fell backwards on the bed, they quickly sat up straight, dusted themselves off, and looked up at the camera with relieved smiles.
"There! That's much better!" Wolf said as he held out his paws.
"Yeah! I was beginning to feel like a sardine!" Diane agreed.
"Anyways, tonight is my birthday and my friends are hosting the party for me in my honor at the Goodness Gala where me and Wolf first met each other and where we had our first dance it's going to be the best night in my entire life!" Diane explained. She held up her arms in the air and cheered.
Wolf chuckled at this and said. "Yeah, but it wasn't easy to convince Chief Misty Luggins to let us host this party for Diane because of our past criminal records but with help from our beloved governor and a little blackmail from the time Misty tried to frame us for stealing The Maraschino Ruby that we didn't steal for once we've managed to convince her otherwise."
"You and your friends came a long way to change yourselves for the better." Diane said.
"We sure did!" Wolf said nodding in agreement.
He then turned to the camera and said. "For those who don't know our backstory I'll explain it to you."
Wolf cleared his throat before he began to speak.
"A long time ago, me and my friends used to be a group of thieves called The Bad Guys who stole everything from all around the city but then one night when the Golden Dolphin award was about to be given by Professor Marmalade who we thought was a hero at the time we tried to steal it but we failed and got arrested. However, before we could go to jail, I've managed to convince Diane that me and my friends would go to the reform program to change our ways and she agreed with me. So, me and my friends went to the program at was being held at Marmalade's house it wasn't easy though but after a while we had passed it with flying colors and became The Good Guys! Everyone loved us now and to celebrate our graduation we sent to the gala for the second time where the charity event was being held in our honor but little did, we know is that a nasty surprise was waiting for us there." Wolf explained.
Wolf and Diane turned to each other with smiling faces.
"I gotta admit it Wolf you've managed to convince me with your smooth talking to let you and your friends go to the program." Diane said with a sly smile and her paw on her hip.
Wolf slyly smiled at her with his own paw on his hip and said. "What can I say? I'm a smooth talker with my Clooney impression."
Diane nodded her head in agreement.
Then they both turned back to the camera.
"Anyways, on our second night at the gala we were having a blast but we really planning another heist at the gala when nobody was watching but after I had a dance with Diane and I was up on the stage with her I began to have second thoughts about the plan but then the lights suddenly went out and when the lights came back on the meteorite was gone along with my "So Long Suckers" message on the board! Everyone accused us of stealing the meteorite and we got arrested again! We tried to explain that we were innocent this time but nobody believed us! It got even worse when Marmalade came into the police van to show his true colors to us and it turned out that he had stolen the meteorite and framed us for it because no one would suspect him of his crimes since he was a cute animal! We got sent to jail for good and it looked like it was all over for us or so we thought." Wolf explained.
They both turned to each other with angry faces.
"I can't believe that Marmalade framed you and your friends for the crime that you didn't commit for once!" Diane shouted angrily with her fists clenched together.
"Yeah! It was lucky for him that I was restrained at the time or I would've ripped him to pieces!" Wolf shouted angrily as he slammed his fist on the bed.
"And to think I was about to give him the Golden Dolphin award for his heroic deed!" Diane said as she slapped her forehead.
"It was a good thing that we tried to steal it or we would've never known the truth about him!" Wolf shouted angrily.
They both raised their heads and growled loudly and angrily in the air.
They then lowered their heads, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, looked up, and they smiled at each other feeling much better that they let out their anger.
"But you know it was a good thing I was restrained at the time or things might've gotten worse for me." Wolf said.
"Yes, your right Wolf, it would've gotten worse for you! You would have been in big trouble if you had attacked Marmalade." Diane agreed, nodding her head at him.
Wolf nodded.
"But he's in jail now where he belongs, I hope he has his own rodent cage with a hamster wheel in it." Wolf said, wagging his finger.
"Yeah, he'll need some exercise for a long time when he's in there." Diane agreed.
They both laughed at this then they turned back to the camera.
"Luckily for us, Diane knew that we were innocent so she broke us out of prison as The Crimson Paw but our friends went back to the hideout because they didn't trust in me anymore so me and Diane went back to her house alone in her secret room so we could grab some gear to break into Marmalade's house to steal the meteorite back to clear our names but however we got captured and was about to get killed! Luckily, our friends came back just in time to save us, we reconciled, and went out to stop Marmalade! In the end, we've foiled his evil plan, he got arrested, we gave ourselves up, and we got out of jail early for good behavior. We became heroes after that and everyone loved us, even Misty liked us now! Diane is our new member of the team as my second in command next to Snake that is. We are now known as heroes called The Good Bad Guys." Wolf said, he gave a thumbs up to the readers.
Wolf and Diane turned back to each other with smiling faces.
"I'm proud of you Wolf and your friends for giving yourselves up." Diane said with her paws clasped together in delight.
"Thank you, Diane, I had enough of running away from my problems and decided to face them instead." Wolf said, shrugging his shoulders
Diane smiled at him and asked. "Why do you call yourselves The Good Bad Guys?"
Wolf smiled at her and said. "To make ourselves sound cooler but not bad in an evil way but bad in a good way like how the late Micheal Jackson or any rapper would say about their music and dance moves to make themselves sound cooler."
Wolf then stood up from the bed, he struck a Michael Jackson style dance pose, and he sat back down on the bed. Diane giggled at him and she nodded her head now understood what he had meant he meant bad in an effective way like how MJ or the rapper would say about their music and dance moves.
"OK! I get it now! That actually does make you sound cooler." Diane said, nodding.
"You got that right!" Wolf said, winking at her.
"Now, it's my turn to tell them about my backstory." Diane told him.
"Go right ahead!" Wolf said as he gestured to the camera.
They both turned back to the camera as Diane cleared her throat to speak.
"A long time ago, I was a former thief named The Crimson Paw who stole stuff from all around the city but then one night at the factory I was about to steal the dolphin award I saw my own reflection in the walls of the room that the dolphin was in and when I saw myself I realized what I was doing was wrong by becoming the fox that everyone told me I was. So, I had decided to give up my thieving ways, reformed, and become the governor to redeem myself! After we had foiled Marmalade's evil plan, I was about to reveal myself to the entire world when Wolf stopped me because he didn't want me to ruin my life so they had given themselves up keeping my secret safe, for which I'm incredibly grateful. Luckily, Marmalade got framed for my crimes, he got sent to jail, I became a hero, and a new member of the team just like my friends! Now, I used my skills for good instead of evil!" Diane explained.
Wolf and Diane turned back to each other with smiling faces.
"Thank you for stopping me Wolf you're a true friend." Diane said with her paws clasped together.
Wolf blushed as he scratched the back of his neck in modesty.
"Well, that's what friends are for and besides you've helped us out so much and we decided to return the favor by keeping your secret safe after all the world needs you and we didn't want you to throw away your life because of us." Wolf said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Thank you, Wolf!" Diane said with her paws still clasped together.
"And thank you Diane for believing in us when nobody else would." Wolf said, winking at her.
Diane blushed as she turned her head away and giggled in modesty.
Then they both turned to the camera.
"Now with that out of the way we hope you relax, grab a snack, and enjoy this story." Wolf said.
"We hope you like this story." Diane said.
They both waved to the camera and said. "Enjoy!"
After that they turned away from the camera, they held paws, and they smiled at each other for a very long time they didn't want this moment to end for both of them but they knew that they had to go to the party soon or they'll be late since Diane was the guest of honor on her birthday after all so they let go of their paws as the wolf decided to ask the fox if she was ready to go to the party yet.
"So, Diane are you ready to go to your party now?" Wolf asked her.
"No, not yet! I just remembered I have to wait for my assistants to be done making their gift for me." Diane answered as she shook her head.
Wolf raised his eyebrow in confusion and asked. "Assistants?"
She nodded her head and said. "Yeah, I have new assistants I've hired them while you and your friends were away in prison."
"Where did you meet them?" Wolf asked again.
Diane slapped her forehead and said. "Oh! That's right! I forgot to tell you so I'll explain it to you."
"You see a while back when you and your friends were away, I was out grocery shopping one day when I bumped into three animals, we introduced ourselves and instantly became friends we had a lot of fun together like going to the movies, playing games, eating out at restaurants, and many more fun things. One day, they were looking for a job and they asked me if I could hire them to be my assistants to help me out with my job as governor so I've hired them on the spot! They are great assistants to have helped me out with meetings, paperwork, and many more things with my job as governor. They help me out when you and your friends are not around to help me. They are working on my gift for my birthday right now and they should be here very soon so we have to wait for them." Diane explained.
Wolf smiled at her and said. "Hey! That's great I sure like to meet them!"
Then a loud knock was heard at the door they jumped at the sound, turned around, and saw the knocking was coming from the door. They sighed in relief the vixen already knew who was at the door but the wolf didn't so the vixen decided to call out for her assistants to come in.
"Come in!" She called out to them.
The door swung opened then three animals walked into the bedroom, they closed the door behind them, walked up to the bed, they stopped in front of the two canines, they smiled as they bowed their heads at her, she nodded to them, and they stared at her with smiling faces and their arms behind their backs. Their names were Trickster, Manny, and Gus.
Trickster was a male gold rabbit with purple eyes, long ears with pink inside of them, a pink nose, whiskers, buck teeth, white muzzle, and inner fur, wearing a long purple shirt, a light purple cape, light purple pants, slightly tall, a purple bow tie, small arms and legs, black shoes, and a small cotton tail. He was the leader of the assistants.
The other two behind them were twins who looked alike but wore different outfits. Manny was a male brown mongoose with red eyes, short ears, a black nose, white muzzle, and inner fur, wearing a red shirt with his name written in yellow letters, long pink pants, orange shoes, and a long brown tail and Gus was a male brown mongoose with blue eyes, short ears, a black nose, white muzzle, and inner fur, wearing a blue shirt with his name written in yellow letters, long light blue pants, green shoes, and a long brown tail.
They were Diane's assistants she hired some time ago.
"Good evening, Miss Foxington." Trickster greeted, bowing to her.
"Good evening, Trickster, but you don't have to be so formal when you're not on the job just call me Diane." She told him as she waved her paw at him.
"Very well then Diane." Trickster said, nodding.
"Anyways, we're done with your gift." Manny said.
"Would you like to see it?" Gus asked.
"Of course, show it to me boys!" Diane said, clapping in excitement.
Trickster smiled as he rolled up his sleeves, clapped twice, a cloud of purple smoke appeared in his paws, he blew away the smoke, a medium-sized black box was in his paw it looked like a ring box but it was slightly bigger, he held it up to the vixen, opened it, and inside the box was a small, purple-colored USB flash drive wedged in the dark purple cushion in the box. The canines turned to each other in confusion before turning back to the rabbit.
"What is that?" Wolf asked, pointing to the flash drive.
"It's a flash drive that contains the movie we made about Diane Foxington about how great of a friend and boss she had been to us over the years." Trickster explained.
Diane felt tears of joy filled her eyes as she clasped her paws together in delight, she was incredibly happy that her assistants would make a video about her.
"Oh, thank you boys! This is the best gift I could ever ask for!" Diane exclaimed cheerfully.
"You're welcome!" They all said in unison.
Wolf smiled warmly at the scene before him. He was glad that Diane had other friends to have other than him, his friends, and Chief Misty Luggins. They were good friends but she needed some help around the office during her job as governor. He had been thinking about becoming her assistant to help her out but he didn't know if he could get a job or not because of his past criminal records he was a hero now there were some people who loved him now but there were other people who still didn't trust him which made sense because of his past but he didn't care he was still a hero no matter what they say. Wolf figured that he could try to be her assistant but wasn't sure if he could get hired, she could hire him on the spot but the others? Not so much. But he figured he'd try it later right now it was time to celebrate Diane's birthday!
He then tapped Diane on the shoulder while clearing his throat. She turned to the wolf in confusion as he stared at her with a sly smile on his face and his paw on his hip.
"Diane? Aren't you going to introduce me to your assistants?" Wolf asked.
"Oh right! How rude of me!" Diane said, slapping her forehead in forgetfulness.
"Wolf, I would like you to meet Trickster the rabbit, Manny the mongoose, and Gus the mongoose." Diane introduced as she pointed to them one at the time.
Diane then turned to her assistants.
"Boys, I would like you to meet my best friend and boyfriend Wolf the leader of The Good Bad Guys." Diane introduced as she pointed to him.
"Hello! It's genuinely nice to meet you." Wolf said, waving to them.
"Hello!" They said as they all waved at him.
Wolf then stood up, walked toward them, held out his paw to shake, Trickster shook his paw, Manny and Gus shook his paw too, he then walked back to the bed, and sat back down next to the vixen as they smiled at each other.
"Diane told us all about you Wolf and your friends." Trickster said.
"Oh, did she?" Wolf asked as he turned to the vixen.
Diane nodded her head at him.
"Yes, she told us about your past and how you've changed your ways after saving the world from that evil guinea pig named Marmalade." Trickster explained.
"That's true! But we wouldn't have done it without Diane's help." Wolf said as he held his shirt like any farmer would being proud of his work.
"Ah yes, Diane as The Crimson Paw we also know about her past as well about how she stole The Zumpango Diamond and wore it around her ring. I'm surprise that Misty had never noticed that she was wearing the diamond at the time but luckily for her Marmalade stole the diamond from her after the lamp had fell on top of him the diamond then fell out of his pocket and got framed for being The Crimson Paw keeping Diane's secret safe. We know about her past but we promise to keep it a secret from everyone." Trickster explained.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Wolf exclaimed.
"It is!" Diane agreed.
"I've even shown them my secret room where I keep my gear when I was The Crimson Paw now, I only become The Crimson Paw for good deeds." Diane explained to him.
Wolf smiled at her then he snapped his fingers and said. "Oh yes! That's remind me."
"What?" They all asked in unison.
"Well, me and my friends also made a gift for you it's at the Goodness Gala right now." Wolf told her.
"What is it?" Diane asked excitedly with her paws clasped together.
"I'm glad you asked it's a movie we also made about you and how great of a friend you've been to us over the years it was mostly my idea but my friends helped me out in the movie I go around asking my friends what they think about you and you'll be surprised what's at the end of the movie. I shot it all on my phone, my friends helped out with the editing, and Webs made the movie and saved it on a small yellow USB flash drive! It's at the gala right now as Webs is setting it up in the projection room of the theater room in the gala." Wolf explained.
"Wow! That's amazing! I get two gifts in one night this is the best birthday I've ever going to have!" Diane exclaimed cheerfully.
Wolf smiled then he turned to the rabbit to ask him a question.
"How did you get the box to appear in your paws like that?" Wolf asked.
Trickster smiled and said. "I'm glad you asked."
"When I was young, I was playing around in my backyard when I saw something falling out from the sky, I ran over to the fence to get a better look and I saw that it was a meteorite that crash landed here many years ago then after it landed a shockwave came out from it and it knocked me out. After I woke up in the hospital the doctors told me that the waves had given me superpowers like in those movies you see where a regular human would get superpowers in some way. My parents didn't believe it until I reached out to get a glass of water. When I did the water came to my paws as I caught it. My parents were amazed by this and so was I. I've practiced using my powers for over the years until I perfected them! Now I use my powers to help out people with the things they need like my boss Diane along with my friends behind me." Trickster explained.
"That's cool!" Wolf exclaimed cheerfully.
"It is cool, Wolf, with his help I can get my paperwork done faster without worrying about corrections and other things." Diane said, nodding her head at him.
"Indeed! You could say that I'm a fast writer!" Trickster said.
Everyone laughed at this then the wolf looked down at his watch and gasped in shock at what time it was he turned to the vixen, tapped her on the shoulder, she turned to him, he pointed to his watch, she looked at his watch, and gasped in shock as well.
"Oh my God! We're going to be late for my party!" Diane shouted as she placed her paws on her cheeks.
"We better get going!" Wolf told her.
"You guys go ahead we'll catch up we have to double check the video just in case if there's anything wrong." Trickster told them as he pointed to the door.
"OK." They both said in unison.
The two of them stood up from the bed, they ran out of the house, they stopped in front of the car, Wolf opened the passenger side for Diane, she thanked him, went inside, closed the door behind her, buckled her seatbelt, Wolf ran around to the driver side, he opened it, went inside, closed the door behind him, buckled his seatbelt, he started the car, looked behind him, he backed out from the driveway, and they drove down the road to the Goodness Gala for Diane's birthday party. As they drove away, Trickster and his friend's waved goodbye to them from the window and once they were gone, they moved away from the window, turned to each other, and grinned evilly. Everything was going according to plan. What Diane didn't know was that the video they made was about her dark secret as The Crimson Paw! Once they play that video everyone will know the truth about their beloved governor!
"Now, is the video made perfectly?" Trickster asked his friends.
"Yes sir! We double check the video and it runs smoothly." Manny answered.
"This is going to be one birthday party that Diane will never forget!" Gus said with his arms crossed.
"Indeed! When everyone watches this movie, they will know the dark truth about Diane Foxington who is really The Crimson Paw and all the nasty deeds she had done in the past they all still believed that Marmalade is The Crimson Paw but after seeing this they will know who the real thief is! Also, what she doesn't know is that we're really undercover bounty hunters who have been trying to capture her over the years but never did once until tonight that is. This will also be a way to get revenge against her for what she did to me a long time ago in high school! After that then I shall become the governor and everyone will praise me as a hero!" Trickster said as he rubbed his paws together evilly. They all laughed evilly at their evil plan and they were indeed right that this was going to be one birthday party that she'll never forget!
Later that night…
Everyone was gathered around in the theater room getting ready to watch the movie that The Good Bad Guys made about their friend Diane they were all sitting down in their seats they were excited to see what kind of movie they made about their beloved governor. The theater room was a large room with black walls, red carpeted floors, a double front door, several red theater seats aligned in the middle of the room with stairways in-between, a large brown stage with stairways leading up to it, two large red curtains slightly covering the stage, a large white blank theater screen behind the stage, a podium with a microphone, two emergency exits at the bottom of the stage, and a backdoor behind the stage. Diane was in the bathroom applying makeup and using the toilet before the movie began. Wolf and his friends were sitting in front row of the room and their names were: Snake, Webs, Piranha, and Shark.
Snake was a male dark yellow snake with black eyes, short snout, long pink tongue, light yellow inner scales, wearing a white hat, a red Hawaiian shirt, and a long tail with deep brown markings on it.
Webs was a female orange tarantula with brown eyes, short tuft of purple hair, eight legs, two of them are her hands, purple markings around her body, wearing a black hoodie with cyan cubes on it, headphones, and a purple and orange marked abdomen.
Piranha was a small male green piranha with black eyes, dark green fin tied in a ponytail, one fang sticking out, wearing a white t-shirt, black pants with red suspender and black shoes.
Shark was a large male gray shark with black eyes, a large shark fin, heavy-set, wearing a red shirt, a brown blazer over it, deep brown pants, and brown loafers.
"Oh boy! I can't wait to see how the movie turns out!" Shark exclaimed cheerfully, clapping his fins together.
"I know if I didn't make it myself with help my friends and I wouldn't believe it." Webs agreed.
"I hope Diane gets back here soon I want to see the movie now!" Piranha shouted as he jumped up and down impatiently.
"Yeah! I heard there's a party afterwards with cake, ice cream, soda, and push pops! I would really love a push pop right now!" Snake shouted.
Wolf turned to his friends and shouted. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Please be patient Snake and Piranha you know Diane needs to use the bathroom before we see this movie."
Snake and Piranha bowed their heads in shame knowing that their friend was right, they apologized to him, he forgave them, and they both turned back to the screen.
Misty and her squad were patrolling all around the theater room in case of an emergency she was standing in front of the entrance with her two partners on each side while the others were all around the room near emergency exits, walking around the gala, and standing near the backdoor of the stage. Misty was a female middle-aged Caucasian-American human with brown eyes, long ginger hair tied in a ponytail, muscular, muscular arms, and legs, wearing a blue police shirt, a dark blue tie, a dark blue police cap, a short pink nose, dark blue shorts, a utility belt filled with weapons, white socks, and black shoes. Her partners on each side of her were a male middle-aged Caucasian-American human police officer and a young male African-American human police officer. The three of them were looking from left to right to see if there was any sign of trouble.
She turned to them and asked. "Any sign of trouble yet, boys?"
"No madame." The middle-aged police officer responded, shaking his head at her.
"But if there is we'll let you know." The young police officer told her.
"Good! As you were." Misty said.
They saluted to her then they continued to look from left to right for any sign of trouble.
Diane then walked out on the stage as everyone clapped and cheered for her arrival, she then grabbed the microphone off the podium, walked into the middle of the stage, she held out her paw to silence the audience, she cleared her throat, and she began to speak.
"Thank you everyone for being here on my special day as you already know we're going to see a movie about me by my good friends The Good Bad Guys!" Diane announced as she pointed to her friends.
Everyone applauded as The Good Bad Guys stood up, they all bowed and curtsied, and sat back down.
"I would like to thank my friends for this party without them none of this would be possible it took some time and work with blood, sweat, and tears but it was worth it to show how much these guys had redeem themselves over the years." Diane said.
Wolf and his friends clapped and cheered as Diane curtsied to them.
"After the movie is over there will be a party in the dance room which is the same room where the charity fundraiser was held in and where me and Wolf danced for the first time." She announced as she raised her arm in the air in excitement.
Everyone clapped and cheered.
"Yeah! Party! Push pops!" Snake shouted cheerfully as he wagged his tail in the air.
Diane held out her paw again to silence the audience and they grew silent.
"Now without further ado let the movie begin!" She shouted cheerfully.
Everyone clapped and cheered as Diane placed the microphone back on the podium, she walked downstairs, Wolf and his friends moved away an inch to make room for the fox, Wolf gestured the seat next to her, she curtsied, sat down next to him, Wolf and Diane draped their arms around each other, smiled, and they all turned to the screen to watch the movie. He turned to the spider, he nodded to her, she nodded back to him, she pulled out a small black remote with many colored buttons, it was a remote to start the movie from the projection room above them like how people would use the remote on the TV without getting up, she then pressed a button, the room went dark, everyone grew silent, and the movie screen flashed a white light as the movie began.
In the movie, The title screen showed Diane Foxington standing at the podium she was wearing glasses, a black tie, a white under shirt, a long gray shirt and pants, and black heels it was her uniform she wears when she doing her job as governor, the background was a red, white, and blue striped flag, "Diane Our Friend by: The Good Bad Guys" was written in large black letters above the picture, and the music called "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne Warwick was playing in the background.
Then title screen faded to black and it faded into the scene where Wolf was sitting on the park bench with his head raised in the air, his arms stretched out on the bench, and his leg crossed over his other leg while humming a tune he was at the city park on the beautiful sunny day with the kids playing, parents sitting on the other benches reading a book or something, and the birds were singing their song. His cellphone was right in front of him recording himself while he was also recording this movie.
Wolf then turned to his cellphone, smiled, uncrossed his leg, and waved to the viewers.
"Hello! I'm Mr. Wolf the leader of The Good Bad Guys but you already knew that because you've seen me before with my friends and the new member of the team which is our beloved governor Diane Foxington helping us fight crimes instead of us committing them." Wolf greeted as he waved to them. He then got up from his bench, grabbed his cellphone, and put it in front of his face.
"This is the movie me and my friends made to talk about our beloved governor named Diane Foxington who had been our friend over the years she had helped us become from the evil gang into the heroic gang. In honor of her birthday, we are going to go around to ask my friends about what they think about Diane and in the end, I'm going to tell you what I think about Diane so join me will you?" Wolf explained as he gestured to the viewers to follow him. He walked down the street as the scene faded to black. The scene faded into Wolf walking down the street toward the diner where Wolf and Snake usually hang out for breakfast. He stopped in front of the diner, turned to his cellphone, and pointed to the diner.
"Our first stop is at the diner where me and my best friend Snake would hang out for breakfast sometimes me and Diane would hang out here too either for breakfast, lunch, or dinner so let's go inside to ask Snake what he thinks about Diane." Wolf explained.
He walked toward the diner, opened the door, walked up to the booth where Snake was sipping a cup of coffee, he sat down across the booth where Snake was, and he cleared his throat to get Snake's attention. Snake looked up from his coffee, smiled, set down his cup of coffee, and looked at Wolf with a smiling face.
"Hey buddy! What's up?" Snake greeted waving his tail to him.
"Hey Snake! I'm making a movie about Diane by going around to ask my friends what they think about Diane it's her birthday gift from us to her." Wolf answered.
"Hey! That's cool!" Snake exclaimed.
"It is cool, isn't it?" Wolf agreed.
"Anyways, can you tell me what you think about Diane?" Wolf asked him.
Snake placed his tail on his chin to think about what he could say about Diane then he snapped his tail and turned to the cellphone to speak.
"Well, let me tell you at first I didn't like Diane because she talked shit about us about how we were lame, second rate, and other things I don't want to repeat but after we saved the world from that evil but delicious looking guinea pig named Marmalade I began to like her because she's pretty badass in taking down criminals and she's a tough cookie when it comes to saving the world from all kind of criminals. I consider her a good friend but you'll always be my #1 best friend in my book, Wolf. Happy Birthday, Diane! You're hardcore!" Snake explained as he winked at her.
"Alright! Thank you, Snake!" Wolf shouted.
"You're welcome, buddy, now if you don't mind, I like to drink my coffee please." Snake told him.
"Of course, see you!" Wolf said, waving to him.
"See you!" Snake said, waving to him.
Snake then picked up his coffee and continued to drink it as the wolf walked out of the diner and down the road then the scene faded to black again.
The scene faded into Wolf walking down the street until he stopped in front of the aquarium. He turned to his cellphone and pointed to the aquarium behind him.
"Right here is where we're going to meet my fish friends Piranha and Shark, they are volunteer workers for the aquarium since they know a lot about fish because ironically, they are fishes of course they know a lot about their own kind but they also know about other aquatic animals as well so let's go inside to see what they have to say about Diane." Wolf said. He then walked up to the aquarium, paid for some tickets, walked down the corridor, and he spotted Piranha and Shark sitting down on the bench having their lunch break. They were munching on some fish crackers and drinking bottles of soda. Wolf walked up to them, he cleared his throat, they looked up to see their friend, they placed down their lunch on their laps, and they smiled and waved at him.
"Hola Amigo!" Piranha greeted.
"Hello Wolf!" Shark greeted.
"Hey guys! I'm making a movie about Diane by going around to ask my friends what they think about Diane. Do you have anything to say about her?" Wolf explained.
They both nodded their heads. Shark asked the little green fish if he liked to go first, he nodded to him, stood up, and he cleared his throat to speak.
"Diane is one tough cookie she's the toughest amiga that I've ever met she could take down a whole army of criminals with my help since I am the muscle of the team. She and I would go to the gym often to work out, to get tougher and stronger to take down more criminals like we used to be. She even helped us clear our names when Marmalade framed us for something that we didn't do for once. That amiga is like the sister to me and I love having her on our team. Happy Birthday, Amiga!" Piranha explained.
"Thank you, Piranha!" Wolf said.
"De nada" Piranha said, bowing.
The green fish then sat down as the shark stood up to talk about Diane.
"I love Diane she's like a sister to me as well that girl can dressed up like beauty queen if there was a beauty contest coming up then I would crown her the queen she and I would go out shopping for some new clothes that girl has taste for dresses, makeup, and other things as well. She can even disguise herself as someone else like I do sometimes, like when I was the lady at the gala when we tried to steal the Golden Dolphin award for the first time. She would even give me clothes for my birthday and would even give me fashion tips for how to dress well. Diane, I would like to wish you a happy birthday and many more!" Shark explained as he gave her a thumbs up with his fin.
"Thank you, Shark!" Wolf shouted.
"You're welcome!" Shark said, nodding.
"I'll let you guys eat in peace, bye." Wolf said, waving to them.
"Bye!" Shark said, waving to him.
"Adios!" Piranha said, waving to him.
The fishes then sat back down to eat their lunch as the wolf walked out of the aquarium then the scene faded to black again.
The scene faded into Wolf standing in front of the internet café while holding his cellphone up to his face.
"Our last stop is at the internet café where our female member of the team next to Diane is Webs, she's the one who knows a lot about technology and other things right now we're going into this café to ask her what she thinks about Diane." Wolf said, pointing to the café behind him.
The wolf walked into the internet café, he looked around, he then spotted Webs sitting on top of the table with her laptop typing about something, he walked up to the spider, sat down on the chair in front of her, he cleared his throat, the spider turned around to see the wolf in front of her, she smiled, closed her laptop, and turned around to face him.
"Hey Wolf! What's up?" Webs asked.
"Hey Webs! Sorry to bother you but I'm making a movie about Diane for her birthday present and I'm going around asking our friends what they think about Diane do you have anything to say about her?" Wolf explained.
Webs grinned and said. "Oh boy! Do I!"
"Diane is the best girlfriend I could ever ask for she and I are a lot alike because she knows about technology as much as I do! We would hang out at this internet café together to talk about boys, games, technology, and other things as well. Sometimes we would have a girl's night out with my other female friends like Misty and Tiffany! It's so nice to hang out with female friends I mean I like you boys but it's nice to hang out with friends of the same gender. If there was another election coming up then I would vote for her twice because of climate change! She's a smart girl just like me! Happy birthday, Diane! You rock!" Webs explained, giving her a thumbs up.
Wolf chuckled and said. "Thank you, Webs."
"Anytime." Webs said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Well, it's time for me to get going, bye!" Wolf said, waving to her.
"Bye Wolf!" Webs said, waving to him.
Webs then returned to her laptop and continued typing as the wolf walked out of the café and the scene faded to black again.
The scene then faded back into the park where Wolf was sitting on the same bench before but he was staring at his cellphone with a smiling face and sitting up straight this time.
"Now, it's my turn to tell you what I think about Diane." Wolf said.
He then stood up from the bench, held up the cellphone to his face, and smiled warmly at it.
"Diane, I have to say that you're my best friend next to Snake and my girlfriend. I want to thank you for all you've done for me, if it hadn't been for you then we would still be going out stealing things from all around the city or worse we would still be in jail for a very long time for being wrongly accused by Marmalade. You're a tough and smart girl just like me well minus the girl part but I love you Diane because of your kind-hearted spirit and your action spirit as well. You helped me to learn that I can be a good guy to make the world the better place and to help others around me. I want to thank you for believing in me when nobody else would except for my friends, that is. This movie is for you on your special day to show how much we love you Diane but most of all I want to say that I love you, Diane! I'll always be your friend." Wolf said. He then blew a kiss on the phone at the end of his sentence.
The wolf then sat back down on the bench, smiled, and held up the phone in front of his face.
"Well folks, that's the end of this movie! That's what me and my friends think about Diane Foxington, our good friend and governor. If there was an election coming up, I would vote for her a thousand times! If that is even possible! Anyways, we hope you enjoy this movie and Happy Birthday Diane!" Wolf said, waving goodbye to the phone. The scene faded to black once more. The scene then faded back into the same screen from the beginning but with "THE END" written in large black letters over the screen with the same music playing from the beginning then the music faded away and the scene faded to black for the final time.
After the movie was over the screen went black, the room lit up, and the room was filled with a thunderous applause, cheering, and whistling at what a great movie they had just seen some were even crying tears of joy even Misty was weeping tears of joy but she wiped them away with a tissue so nobody would notice her she wanted to look tough in front of everyone. Diane was clapping and crying tears of joy then she stood up, wiped her eyes, she turned to Wolf, she motioned him to follow her, he nodded his head, he stood up, they walked up to the stage, they stood in front of the audience, Diane grabbed the microphone, she held out her paw, the audience grew quiet, and she cleared her throat as she held up the microphone to speak.
"Thank you everyone. I got to say that movie was so heartwarming I would like to thank my friends for making this movie about me without them none of this would be possible it shows that they care about me and everything that I've done for them it's their way of showing thanks for what I did to them to help them out become better animals than they were back then. But I would like to thank Wolf most of all because it was his idea so thank you Wolf!" Diane announced. Everyone clapped and cheered as the reptile, the fishes, and the spider stood up as the boys bowed and the spider curtsied to them for the kind words and gesture and they sat back down. Diane turned to Wolf as she blew a kiss at him, he caught it with his paw, and placed it on his lip. She then handed him the microphone so he could speak, he took it, he held out his paw, and he began to speak.
"Thank you everyone but I can't take all the credit my friends had helped me out with the project I would like to thank them for this project especially Webs with her skills of technology none of this would be possible." Wolf said as he pointed to his friends.
Everyone clapped and cheered once more as Webs blushed and waved to her wolf friend in modesty.
Wolf then held out his paw to silence the audience which they did then he turned to the vixen and smiled at her.
"But you Diane I would like to thank you most of all." Wolf said, pointing to her.
"Me?" Diane asked in confusion as she pointed to herself.
"Yes you!" Wolf answered as he pointed to her. "You've helped us out so much by believing in us when nobody else would, you knew that we were innocent when the meteorite was stolen, and you made us into better animals by helping us see the light. Thank you for being our friend Diane."
Diane smiled warmly then she ran over to him, she wrapped her arms around him, and pulled him into a hug. The wolf smiled as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into a hug too. Wolf and Diane hugged each other as the wolf rubbed her back and the vixen snuggle into his chest. Everyone smiled warmly with their hands or paws clasped together at the scene before them even Misty smiled warmly with her hands clasped together at the scene before her.
"Aww." Everyone said softly.
Wolf and Diane pulled away from the hug and the wolf asked. "Is there anything else you would like to say madame governor?"
Diane nodded and responded. "Yes, I would."
Wolf then handed her the microphone, she took it from him, he gave her a double thumbs up while grinning, she smiled at him while shaking her head, they both turned around to face the audience, she cleared her throat, she held up the microphone to her mouth, and she began to speak.
"I would like to say that I am proud to be your governor who is kind, loving, caring, truthful and honest and when Election Day comes up, I would be happy to be your governor again if I win!" Diane shouted as she raised her arm in the air.
Everyone applauded.
"We love you, Diane!" Snake, Piranha, Shark, and Webs called out to her in unison.
"Yeah! You go girl!" Misty cried out as she swung her fist in the air.
Wolf and Diane turned to each other with smiling faces, they both wrapped one arm around each other, and they held paws together as if they were about to dance the tango all of them were having a wonderful night but then suddenly the lights went out developing the room in total darkness! Everyone gasped and looked up at the ceiling in shock. They couldn't believe what had just happened, the room was in total darkness now! Some of them were talking to their friends and family, some were still looking up at the ceiling, some were shaking fear, the parents were comforting their children who were afraid of the dark letting them know that everything is going to be ok, and some were excited about this like something was about to happen. Misty and her two partners looked around the room wondering what was going on and who the culprit was along with Wolf, Diane, and their friends.
"What the hell is going on around here?" Misty shouted with her hands on her hips.
"Are we having a blackout?" Wolf wondered.
"No, Wolf! If we were then the whole gala would be in total darkness because there's still light outside of this room." Diane told him as she pointed to the front door.
Wolf looked outside the window of the double door to see that she was indeed right if it were a blackout then the whole gala would be in total darkness the light was still on outside of the theater room this made everyone confused.
Suddenly the theater screen turned on glowing a bright light behind them they turned around to see the movie was beginning to play this confused them even more then they let go of each other as Wolf turned to the spider.
"Webs? What are you doing?" Wolf asked.
"It's not me, Wolf!" Webs said as she shrugged her shoulders.
She even held up her remote to show him that she wasn't pressing anything, this confused the two canines even more as they looked at each other. If Webs wasn't playing the movie, then who was? Wolf and Diane walked down the stage, took the seat next to their friends, and decided to watch the movie to see what it was all about. It faded into the title screen it was a movie that Trickster and his friends made for Diane for her birthday present everyone sighed in relief after that.
"Oh, it's the movie that my assistants made." Diane said.
"Well, that explains everything they must be up in the projection room right now playing the movie." Wolf said.
"Yeah, that would explain why the lights went out all of the sudden." Diane agreed.
"Oh boy! Another movie! We need popcorn!" Shark shouted cheerfully clapping his fins together.
Everyone hushed them Shark blushed and said. "Sorry."
Diane stood up from her seat, turned to the audience, and said. "Well, looks like we're going to see another movie about me by my assistants and friends Trickster, Manny, and Gus before we go to the party."
Everyone cheered quietly.
"Aw shit! Looks like I'll have to wait longer to get a push pop." Snake whispered to himself angrily.
She then sat back down next to her wolf friend and everyone stared at the screen to watch the movie.
In the movie, the title screen was shown with Diane standing in front of a red, white, and blue colored background while wearing her glasses and governor uniform with her paws folded together, "The Truth about Diane Foxington by: Trickster, Manny, and Gus" was written in large purple letters above her, and the music that was called "Phoenix Wright: Suspense" was playing in the background. After a while, the screen faded to back and it faded into Trickster sitting on the bed in Diane's bedroom with a smiling face and his paws folded in his lap while staring at his phone in front of him. He used magic on his phone to make it float in front of him while recording the movie to make it easier for himself and his friends so they don't have to carry it around with them all the time and it can follow him around too.
"Hello, my name is Trickster and I'm one of Diane's assistants for her job as governor." Trickster introduced.
"As you already know Diane Foxington is our beloved governor who is a kind-hearted, honest, sweet, innocent, truthful, and lovely governor, right?" He said with his eyebrow raised.
He chuckled a bit before he stopped and he turned to the phone with an angry face.
"WRONG!" He shouted as he pounded his fist on the bed.
He jumped down from the bed, walked up to the phone, and pointed at it.
"Everything you know about Diane Foxington is a lie! You may think that's she's a good governor but you're wrong in reality she's really a thief named The Crimson Paw who stole the Zumpango diamond from the museum a long time ago and you still think that Marmalade is The Crimson Paw but you're wrong again! Right now, I'm going to show and tell you the truth about Diane Foxington by exposing her dark secret to all of you!" Trickster shouted as he pounded his fist into his paw. The screen then faded to black and it faded back into the scene where Trickster was standing in the kitchen with his arms crossed and smiling evilly at the camera while standing in front of the microwave and the refrigerator. Then he pointed to the two items behind him with his thumb and he began to speak.
"Behind me is a microwave and the refrigerator they look ordinary right?" Trickster asked.
He shook his head and shouted. "WRONG!"
"These items behind me are actually secret ways to enter Diane's secret room below this house I'll show you!" Trickster told them.
He then floated up to the microwave with his magical powers to reach it, he pressed several buttons, the voice confirmed the code, it then welcomed who it thought was Diane at the time, the fridge moved away from the table, the elevator rose up from the floor, the gold rabbit walked into the elevator, he went down, the elevator stopped, he stepped out of the elevator and he stepped into Diane's secret room. It was a large room with gray walls, a gray floor, lights above bathing the room in a yellow-orange light, two idented walls on opposite sides with weapons, gadgets, tools, suits, and other items either hanging on the wall or on top of the shelves, and a large gray panel with a large computer screen at the end of the room. He walked around the room while showing the items to the viewers with his arms spread in the air like he was guiding tourists through a museum.
"Right here, you see Diane's secret room with all the gadgets, tools, weapons, and other items that she uses to plan her heist when she was The Crimson Paw." Trickster said.
He then walked over to the idented wall, grabbed a black suit, and held it up to the phone for the viewers to see.
"This is one of suits that Diane wears when she's The Crimson Paw." Trickster said.
He then tossed the suit back into the wall and clasped his paws together with a sly smile on his face.
"Now, how can Marmalade fit into that suit?" Trickster asked.
He chuckled and said. "He can't."
"You see Marmalade is too small to fit into that suit unless if Cuddles was in that suit with him then that would be more logical but the problem is Cuddles is too big to fit into that suit and it's also a lady suit it would be too big for both Marmalade and Cuddles to fit in." Trickster explained wagging his finger.
"Now, follow me if you please." He said as he waved them to follow him.
He walked up to the panel, he pressed a button to turn on the computer, it turned on to show a large white picture with a large black fox paw print in the middle of the screen, the rabbit then turned to the phone, and pointed at the screen in front of him. "Right here is where Diane plans her next heist and where the most valuable items are located in like museums, galleries, banks, and other areas she even hacks into systems to disable alarms, security cameras, and other systems. She sometimes even hacks into government systems without doing any paperwork like any other governor would. In fact, I'll show you all the place she's been to steal the items in the past." Trickster explained. He turned the phone to face the computer screen, he showed all the locations that she had hit in the past and even the systems that she had hacked into after he was done, he turned the phone back to himself.
"There you have it that's all the systems that Diane had hacked into and all the places that Diane had stolen the items from especially the Zumpango diamond!" Trickster announced.
He turned off the computer, he turned around, he walked up to the elevator, he stopped, he then turned to the phone, and said. "Come, there's more I want to show you."
The scene then faded to black and it faded into the scene where Trickster was in prison, he was standing in the entrance area while staring at the camera with a smiling face and his paws clasped together.
"We are in prison to talk to Marmalade and his friend Cuddles to prove that he's innocent of being The Crimson Paw and to prove that he's innocent I have this." Trickster said.
He dug into his pocket and pulled out a small gold ring with a black jewel on it.
"This ring is my lie detector ring whoever wears this ring will let everyone know either if they're telling the truth or if they're lying. If they are telling the truth the jewel on the ring will glow green and make a dinging sound like a bell but if they are lying then the jewel will glow red and it will buzz like a buzzer on the doorbell." He explained as he pointed to it.
He then placed the ring back into his pocket.
"Now, let's go see Marmalade." Trickster said.
He clapped his paws twice, he disappeared into a cloud of purple smoke, the scene faded into the hallway of the prison, Trickster reappeared in front of one of the cells, and he turned to the cell door.
The cell room was a large gray room with a large brown cot with a white pillow and blanket on it, a large toilet, a large sink, a small, barred window, a dining table near the end of the room, and a barred door in front of the cell room. Marmalade was a male orange guinea pig with black eyes, short, neat hair, two small ears, a small pink nose, white muzzle and inner fur, wearing a green shirt with a white coat, purple pants, a short tail, and white shoes and Cuddles was a male Caucasian-American human with beady black eyes, brown tufts of hair, a brown mustache, short brown goatee, tall and slender, wearing a long white coat with a red shirt inside of it, a small red hat, white pants, and brown shoes. They were wearing orange jumpsuits while sitting on the cot playing cards together which the guard allowed them to have in their cell.
"Got any threes Cuddles?" Marmalade asked.
Cuddles shook his head and made sign language for fish telling him to go fish.
Marmalade sighed sadly and took the card out of the deck.
"Ahem, excuse me, Marmalade?" Trickster called out.
Marmalade looked up from his cards, turned, and saw the rabbit standing in front of his cell room. He smiled brightly it was his friend Trickster they had been friends ever since childhood they had best friends and planning to take over the world together but however they had to part ways because Trickster was an undercover bounty hunter and everyone would suspect him of foul play so they had to go their separate ways but after Trickster had heard what had happened to him he decided to get revenge for his friend by revealing the truth about Diane and clearing his name along with getting revenge on Diane for what she did to him in the past. He turned to Cuddles, placed down his cards, he told Cuddles to pick him up, he put down his cards too, he picked up his boss, walked over to the door, and held his boss in front of the rabbit.
"Hello Trickster, long time no see!" Marmalade greeted.
"Hello Marmalade, it's nice to see you again." Trickster greeted.
They both shook paws.
"I'm sorry that I hadn't visit you for a while after all I have a reputation to keep safe." Trickster apologized, shrugging his shoulders.
"I understand I had a reputation too but unfortunately it was soiled by me getting framed for being The Crimson Paw and they discovered that I was the one who had stolen the meteorite, framed Diane's friends, and the other real crimes that they found out that I did." Marmalade said angrily with his teeth and fist clenched.
Trickster patted him on the head and said. "That's why I'm here old friend to help you clear your name of being The Crimson Paw."
Marmalade smiled and asked. "You are?"
Trickster nodded.
"But how?" He asked shrugging his shoulders.
Trickster held up his finger and pulled out his lie detector ring as it held it in front of him.
"This lie detector ring will help you let everyone know that you're telling the truth that you're not The Crimson Paw but Diane Foxington is." Trickster explained to him.
"Really?" Marmalade asked as he grinned evilly and rubbed his paws together.
Trickster nodded.
"That's right! I'm making a movie right now about Diane Foxington being The Crimson Paw and all her dark secrets it's a birthday gift for her and when I show it in the theater at the gala everyone will soon know the truth about her dark secret and you could be the free guinea pig." He explained.
Marmalade smiled, tented his paws, and said. "Excellent."
"I know right?" Trickster agreed as he rubbed his paws together.
The rabbit then placed the ring on the rodent's finger, the rodent held his paw out, and looked at the ring like a woman would when she's about to get married.
"Are you ready?" Trickster asked.
"Ready!" He answered giving him a thumbs up.
"I'll give you two test questions first to see if the ring works for the first question you must tell the truth and for the second question you must lie, got it?" He told him.
"Got it!" He responded as he nodded his head.
"Good!" Trickster said, nodding.
The rabbit cleared his throat to speak.
"Question one did you steal the meteorite and framed The Good Bad Guys for it?" Trickster asked.
"Yes, I did. I stole the meteorite and framed Wolf and his friends for it because nobody would ever suspect me of the crime since I'm a cute guinea pig." Marmalade answered with an evil smiling face on his face and his paws rubbed together.
The ring glowed a bright green and dinged meaning that Marmalade had spoken the truth.
"Very good now next question. Did to try to steal the charity money from the charity event to rule the world?" Trickster asked.
"No, of course not, I planned on donating the money to everyone who needed it." Marmalade answered with a cute smiling face and his paws clasped together trying to look and sound innocent.
The ring glowed a bright red and buzzed meaning that he had lied.
"Excellent! It worked!" Trickster exclaimed.
"Yes!" Marmalade cheered.
They both high-fived each other.
"Now for the real question." Trickster said.
"Fire away!" Marmalade exclaimed as he swung his arm.
The rabbit cleared his throat to speak.
"Are you The Crimson Paw and did you steal the Zumpango diamond?" The rabbit asked.
"No! I'm not The Crimson Paw and I didn't steal the Zumpango diamond I'm innocent of that crime it's true I did steal the meteorite and framed The Good Bad Guys for it but I didn't steal the diamond and Diane Foxington is The Crimson Paw! She's the thief and she had stolen the diamond!" Marmalade shouted as he stomped his foot on the man's hand. The ring glowed a bright green and it dinged which meant that Marmalade was telling the truth once more. Trickster and Marmalade smiled to each other now everyone knows that Marmalade is innocent at least to the crimes of The Crimson Paw that is he was still guilty of the other crimes that he had committed but he was still innocent of being The Crimson Paw and her crimes. Trickster and Marmalade high-fived each other again then the rabbit turned to the phone to speak.
"Well, there you have it folks Marmalade was telling the truth he's not The Crimson Paw but Diane Foxington is the real thief! She's The Crimson Paw and she stole the diamond! He was innocent and got framed by her so it would look like that he's The Crimson Paw." Trickster explained as he shrugged his shoulders.
Marmalade turned to the phone and said. "That's right, I'm not The Crimson Paw Diane is."
The ring glowed a bright green and it dinged once more.
Marmalade took off the ring, he handed it to the rabbit, the rabbit took the ring from him, he zapped it, and it disappeared in a small cloud of purple smoke.
"Where did it go?" The rodent asked him.
"Back to my house." He answered as he winked at him.
"Good thinking." The rodent whispered winking back to him.
Trickster teleported his ring back to his house so the viewers wouldn't know whether they're telling the truth or lying about Diane Foxington to keep their secret safe.
"Anyways, it looks like Diane framed you for being The Crimson Paw." Trickster said.
"That's right! Diane framed me for being The Crimson Paw. She planted that diamond so she could get off scott-free and it worked! I was framed for something I didn't commit!" He said with a fake sad face along in a fake sad tone.
He turned to Cuddles and asked. "Isn't that right, Cuddles?"
Cuddles frowned sadly with a pout and nodded his head in agreement.
He then turned to the phone with an angry face and said. "She framed me to make herself look like a hero so they vote for her again!"
"That bitch! But don't you worry Marmalade after they watch this video everyone will know the truth about her and they'll never vote for her again!" The rabbit assured him as he held his paw and patted it.
Marmalade faked a sniff and said. "Thank you friend I hope justice will be served soon."
Trickster smiled back at him and said. "It will friend…it will."
Trickster and Marmalade wrapped their arms around each other and hugged for a very long time. After a while they pulled away from the hug and they smiled at each other.
"It was nice seeing you again Marmalade but I have to go and show some more proof that Diane is The Crimson Paw." Trickster told him.
"I understand goodbye and good luck with your movie." Marmalade said.
"Thank you, goodbye Marmalade and Cuddles." Trickster said, waving to them.
"Goodbye!" Marmalade said as he and Cuddles both waved to them.
Trickster then clapped his paws twice and disappeared into a large cloud of purple smoke then the screen faded to black.
The scene faded into Trickster in the same bedroom and sitting on the same bed while staring at the phone with an evil smile and his paws clasped together on his lap.
"Finally, I'm going to show you some clips of Diane committing the crimes she did in the past I used my magical phone to record and follow her around it was invisible so nobody would notice it not even Diane so here we go!" Trickster said as he snapped his fingers the scene faded to black.
A black title card with "Clip #1: Diane's Costume" written in white letters appeared on the screen then it disappeared.
The scene faded into Diane was lying on the bed with her PJs on while strolling through the channels looking for something to watch when she saw something on the news channel that caught her attention she stopped, placed down the remote next to her, and she looked at TV. The news reporter was talking about the Zumpango diamond being displayed at the museum for everyone to see and it's very valuable and expensive since it came from a faraway country and now everyone can see it! Diane grinned evilly that diamond would be hers very soon! She turned off the TV, she got up from bed, she ran over to her dresser, he opened the top drawer, she pulled out a long black suit with yellow stripes, a hoodie, a mask, a utility belt, wing flaps, and black boots out of the drawer, she placed the boots on the floor, she put on her suit, she placed on her boots, and she covered her face with the hood and mask.
She looked in the mirror to check herself over then she nodded her head she was now ready to steal the diamond as The Crimson Paw because the outfit she was wearing was her Crimson Paw outfit she wears when she commits crimes so nobody will suspect her of doing them. She then ran out of the house and down the street to the museum. The scene then faded to black.
Another black title card with "Clip #2: The Stolen Diamond" in white letters appeared on the screen then it disappeared.
The scene faded into Diane sitting on her knees on top of the museum roof, she was peering into the window to see if the diamond was nearby and sure enough it was right below without any guards in sight. She pulled out her glass cutter, she cut a hole large enough for her to fit through, she removed the glass circle, she tied the rope around her waist and around a vent cap, she then climbed down slowly and carefully not to hit any of the lasers, she then put on her infra-red goggles to see any more lasers, she got close to the glass case displaying the diamond, she got out her glass cutter again, she cut a small hole in the case, she pushed it, she grabbed the diamond, and she began to climb up the rope.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" A female voice shouted from behind.
Diane turned to see Misty and her squad chasing after her with angry faces she quickly climbed up the rope, she jumped on top of the roof, she cut the roof with scissors from her belt, she quickly ran toward the roof with the guards chasing her, she jumped off the roof while giving them a "see you later" gesture, she then opened her flaps, and she glided away from the museum like a flying squirrel would glide through trees as the scene faded to black.
Another black title card with "Clip #3: The Almost Perfect Crime" in white letters appeared on the screen then it disappeared.
The scene faded into Diane standing in middle of the large blue room with a corridor, a large window, many doors on both sides of the corridor, and the Golden Dolphin statue on top of the pedestal in the middle of the room. She was in the factory where the dolphin statue was being made for it to ship to the gala for someone who wins it. She came to the factory to steal the dolphin because it was more valuable than the diamond itself. She had disabled the lasers and security system earlier to make it easier for her to grab it. She was standing in front of it right now as she wigged her fingers and she snatched it right up in her paws. But then she saw herself on the walls and she removed her mask and hood to see her reflection better. She frowned sadly when she was looking at herself, she then realized what she was doing was wrong and was becoming the fox that everyone told her she was in the past.
She placed the dolphin back on the pedestal and she ran out of the room nearly crying as the scene faded to black.
The final black title card with "Clip #4: The Jail Break and Explosion aka The Final Clip" in white letters appeared on the screen then it disappeared.
The scene then faded into the large prison room with gray walls, gray floor, many cell rooms with two cots, a large corridor with barred door at the end of the room, the catwalk above the room with many doors, and a security room in front of the room. Wolf and Snake were fighting as two human guards were holding them back then Diane appeared on top of the catwalk which caught their attention, they looked up to see Diane she then jumped down from the catwalk and knocked out the two guards who were restraining the wolf and the snake. She then took out several more guards that came into the room and locked them up in the cell nearby. She then walked up to her friends and she removed her mask and hood to show them that she was no threat to any of them. They all gasped in surprise and disbelief they couldn't believe that The Crimson Paw was their governor this whole time!
"Diane?!" They all exclaimed in disbelief.
"But how did you do all those moves?" Piranha asked.
"Wait a second…you're The Crimson Paw?" Wolf asked.
Diane closed her eyes and smiled cutely at them.
"Huh, I guess I'm still the best bad guy the world has ever seen." Diane boasted.
She then looked down at her tore sleeve and frowned angrily.
"Well…almost." She said.
The scene then cut to Diane with a smiling face while she was riding a large motorboat with her friends as a large explosion was right behind them which blew up the island prison as the scene faded to black.
The scene then faded into the bedroom where Trickster was leaning against the wall with a smug smile on his face and his arms crossed while looking into his phone.
"And there you have it ladies and gentlemen all the proof that you need to see that Diane Foxington is really The Crimson Paw this entire time and Marmalade was innocent of her crimes it would appear that Misty had arrested the wrong animal and Diane should be the one in jail not Marmalade at least for The Crimson Paw's crimes that is. Now, you all know the truth about Diane Foxington and you should overthrow her as governor and make me governor instead since I'm an undercover bounty hunter who's been hunting her down ever since I've found out about her dark secret and with me as governor, I promise you I will put slimeballs like Diane into the slammer where they belonged! Happy Birthday Diane and I hope you rot in prison where you belong because I will capture you soon! That's all folks and goodbye!" Trickster said, waving to the phone as the scene faded to black.
The scene then faded back into the same screen from the beginning but with "THE END" written in large black letters over the screen with the same music playing from the beginning then the music faded away and the scene faded to black for the final time.
After the movie was over the room lit up, the screen went blank, and the whole room was completely silent nobody moves and nobody spoke they were all too stunned in silence after they had just watched the movie about the dark secret of Diane Foxington who was in reality The Crimson Paw this whole time. Misty was standing there in complete shock with her eyes widened, her jaw dropped, and her arms drooped in disbelief, Wolf and his friends looked at each other confused, and Diane was the most shocked of them all. Diane sat there with her eyes widened and her mouth covered in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Trickster, her own assistant, would make a movie about her dark secret and expose it to the whole world! She felt hurt, shocked, guilty, and betrayed. She felt guilty for the crimes she had committed in the past and she couldn't take the pressure anymore.
She stood up from her chair, she walked over to the stage, she grabbed the microphone, she walked into the middle of the stage, she turned, and she began to speak.
"Folks, the movie that you just saw was all true what Trickster had just said was the truth I am The Crimson Paw, I did commit those crimes, and I even stolen the Zumpango diamond and even wore it on my ring in plain sight." Diane explained.
Everyone gasped in shock.
"WHAT?!" Misty exclaimed.
Misty then fainted on the floor with her arms spread out like a murder victim at the crime scene. The partners then knelt down in front of her as they patted her face and checked her pulse to see if she was alright. Everyone was chattering about what the vixen had told them some shook their heads, some looked away from the vixen, and some even left the room in disgust and anger at their governor for being nothing more but a thief who had deceived them after all these years. Diane bowed her head in shame and sadness. Wolf and his friends looked around the room then the wolf decided to put the end to it. He stood up from his chair, he walked up to the stage, he stood next to Diane, and he held out his paws to silence the audience, which they did. Everyone looked at the wolf. He then cleared his throat to speak.
"Now wait a minute there, folks I'm sure that-" Wolf began.
But Diane had cut him off by placing her paw on the wolf's shoulder. He stopped talking then he turned his head to see Diane, she was staring at him sadly as she shook her head.
"No, Wolf! Enough is enough! It's over! I'm sorry Wolf but I can't take the pressure anymore the guilt is eating me up inside I can't do this anymore!" Diane shouted.
Wolf sighed sadly then he took her paw into his and smiled at her.
"I understand." He said.
They both smiled at each other then he released her paw then they both looked back at the audience.
"But it's okay I've changed my life around and became the governor of this city to redeem myself, make the world the better place, and to help those in need like Wolf and his friends who used to be thieves like me but now they're heroes of the city because I've shown them the errors of their ways and made them better animals!" Diane assured, holding out her paw.
"That's right! Without Diane me and my friends would still be in jail for the crimes we had committed in the past, hell even the crime of the missing meteorite that we didn't commit for once because Marmalade framed us for that crime! Or worse, I would still be out there stealing stuff from all around the city. I think it's fair to give Diane a second chance! If there's an election coming up then I would vote for her ten times!" Wolf explained as he placed his arm around her. Diane smiled warmly as she stared at him for those kind words, he had just said about her. Diane then turned back to the audience as the wolf moved his arm away from her.
"So, what do you say everyone will you all forgive me?" Diane asked.
The room was silent for a while until a tomato came flying through the air and it splatted on Diane's face! Everyone gasped. Diane was shocked by this, she then wiped the juice off of her face, she looked down at her paw, and she looked up and around the room to see who had thrown at tomato at her. Wolf's face turned red with anger he turned to the audience and shouted." Who threw that?"
"I did!" A voice shouted.
Everyone turned to see Trickster, Manny, and Gus standing in the aisle with smug smiling faces and their paws on their hips then they walked down the aisle, they walked upstairs to the stage, they stopped, and they stood in front of the two canines as they stared at the vixen with smug smiling faces and their arms crossed together.
"Well, Diane looks like everyone now knows the truth about your secret life." Trickster taunted.
Diane growled angrily at him and asked. "How could you? I trusted you with my secret and yet you shown it to the whole town by making the movie about it?!"
Trickster just huffed and said. "It served you right after what you've done to me a long time ago!"
Wolf and Diane looked at each other in confusion before they looked back at the rabbit with angry faces.
"What are you talking about?" Diane asked angrily with her paws on her hips.
"You don't remember do you? Well, you and I used to go to high school together and me and my friends would bully you a lot because you were a fox and you've ruined me one day during the racetrack at school!" Trickster answered, pointing to her.
Diane placed her finger on her chin to think for a while then suddenly she remembered what had happened in her young years of high school, she gasped in shock and she looked down at the rabbit in disbelief! She couldn't believe it! Standing right in front of her was her school bully and her friends who tormented her a lot in high school because she was a fox who they believed was an evil animal because they are usually predators who trick and eat other animals, especially chickens! She growled in anger as she pointed to him. "Now! I remember you! You're Trickster the old high school bully of mine!" Diane shouted. Everyone gasped in shock. Snake, Piranha, Shark, and Webs looked at each other in disbelief. They didn't know that Diane had bullies in her past just like they did, especially Wolf and Snake because everyone believed that they were evil animals because of their species.
Wolf walked up next to her and asked. "He was your bully?"
Diane turned and nodded to him.
"I remember that day very well…" Trickster began.
-Flashback-
It was a bright sunny afternoon at California High School it was break time as all the students were outside on the warm spring day everyone was talking to their friends and family, some were talking or playing on their phones, some were running around, some were lying on the cool grass, and some were studying at the tables. One student who was a 14-year-old female red fox with green eyes, long, curved ears, a pink nose, shoulder-length hair, tall, slender and curvy figure, white muzzle/inner fur, wearing a white t-shirt, black shorts, black shoes, and a long fluffy tail named Diane Foxington was running around the race track of the school she was practicing to run in the race that was about to take place next week and she wanted to win the race because every year Trickster would win the race since he was a rabbit and rabbits were faster than foxes most of the time.
Every year she would lose the race and would mock her for it. The rabbit and his goons would bully her a lot because she was a fox and a predator as well. Everyone believed that foxes were evil animals who are tricky, lying, sneaky, and cruel animals like in those cartoons everyone would see and are usually seen as villains. Nobody wanted to be her friend because she was a fox and everyone would either be scared of her or bully her because of it. It got even worse when her mother had left them with another fox who was richer than them. Her father loved her so much and took good care of her but one day they heard that her mother had died in the car accident along with the other fox. Diane was saddened by this but her father was even more depressed in fact he drank and drank until he died from alcohol poisoning!
She missed her father so much she didn't care about her mother but she loved her father because he was so nice to her when she was a kid while her mother would neglect her because she wanted a son not a daughter but her father loved her very much and she missed him so much that she would cry herself to sleep. But she knew that he was still with her in spirit and she was old enough to take care of herself because he was a teenager when her father had died and she was old enough to take care of herself. But she still missed her father and she still loves him and thinks about him every day. She wanted to make her father proud by being more like him and not her mother. She still thinks and loves him with her very heart.
The racetrack was a very large area with a reddish-brown racetrack with white letters that circled around the grassy area in the middle, several large metal benches circled the area around the racetrack, stairways between the benches, a gate leading out to the racetrack above it, and another gate leading out to the back of the school below it. Diane ran around the track for a while until she stopped in front of the bench where she had her yellow backpack on top. She walked over to her backpack, she sat down next to it, she unzipped her backpack, and she then pulled out a water bottle. She was about to open it when someone pushed her from behind, she fell forward and landed on the ground with her arms spread out. The bottle rolled away from her and stopped in front of someone's feet. She rolled on her back and turned to see Trickster and his goons standing there with evil smiles and their paws on their hips.
Trickster was a male gold rabbit with purple eyes, long ears with pink inside of them, a pink nose, whiskers, buck teeth, white muzzle, and inner fur, wearing a purple t-shirt, a light purple shorts, slightly tall, small arms and legs, black shoes, and a small cotton tail. He was the leader of the bullies. The other two behind them were twins who looked alike but wore different outfits. Manny was a male brown mongoose with red eyes, short ears, a black nose, white muzzle, and inner fur, wearing a red t-shirt with his name written in yellow letters, long pink shorts, orange shoes, and a long brown tail. Gus was a male brown mongoose with blue eyes, short ears, a black nose, white muzzle, and inner fur, wearing a blue t-shirt with his name written in yellow letters, long light blue shorts, green shoes, and a long brown tail. They were all teenagers around the same age as Diane at the time and they were her bullies.
She glared at them and asked. "What's the big idea Trickster?"
"What? I thought you might like to take a nice trip this fall!" Trickster taunted shrugging shoulders.
They all laughed.
Diane frowned angrily at them.
"Why don't you boys just leave me alone!" She shouted at them.
Trickster, Manny, and Gus looked at each other with smiling face and looked back at her with false sad faces.
"Aw, did we make the vixen upset?" Manny jeered.
"It looks like she's about to cry." Gus sneered.
"Are you going to cry?" Trickster mocked.
"Ha! Big girls don't cry!" Diane retorted as she shook her head.
She then stood up, she dusted herself off, and she noticed her water bottle was standing near the rabbit's feet. Trickster wondered what she was looking at he then looked down to see the water bottle near his feet he grinned evilly having a nasty idea. He grabbed the water bottle and held it up in front of the vixen.
"Hey! Is this your water bottle?" Trickster asked.
"Yes, that's my water bottle give it back to me, Trickster!" Diane answered as she held out her paw to grab it.
"You want it?" Trickster taunted. "Sure, I'll let you have it."
Diane smiled and said. "Thank you, Trickster."
She walked over to the rabbit but as she did the rabbit opened the bottle and he drank all the water inside of it. After he was finished, he sighed and threw the bottle at the fox it landed near her feet. She picked up the bottle and looked at it sadly. Trickster and his friends laughed at this.
"Oops! Looks like I drank all the water!" Trickster said.
"You're all dried up!" Manny teased.
"Yeah! Maybe you could drink your sweat!" Gus taunted.
Diane raised her head and glared at the bullies before her.
"Hey! That wasn't very nice I'm thirsty and I need a drink!" Diane shouted at them.
"Aw, go drink out of the toilet!" Trickster taunted, waving her off.
"After all you are a dog!" Manny jeered.
"Maybe will you're at it you can eat shit and die!" Gus mocked.
Trickster nodded as an evil smile stretched across his face he turned to the vixen as he rubbed his paws together the vixen looked at him with a scared face wondering what he was going to do to her next.
"Maybe you should drink alcohol after all your father died of poisoning, he was nothing more but a stupid drunk!" Trickster taunted with his arms crossed.
Manny and Gus gasped and looked at their leader in shock and disbelief they couldn't believe that he had said that about her father sure they like bullying her but teasing her about her dead father was going way too far even they didn't think that it was funny.
"Hey! Whoa! Go easy on the jokes!" Manny protested as he waved his paws at him.
"Yeah! Come on, a joke is a joke but that's going way too far!" Gus agreed, shrugging his shoulders.
Trickster glared at his two friends then he turned back to the vixen.
"I bet your father is drinking in Hell where he belongs!" Trickster jeered as he pointed to the ground.
Diane frowned as she bared her teeth and growled as her face was turning red with anger as she crushed the bottle in her paws, she had enough of his bullying it was one thing to bully her because she was a fox but bullying her about her dead father was going way too far! Manny and Gus backed away in fear with scared faces they didn't know what the vixen was going to do but whatever it was it won't be pretty. Trickster noticed this but he didn't seem faze by it and he thought the vixen was going to cry. He smiled evilly as he crossed his arms and looked at the fox with a taunting face.
"Aw, are you going to cry?" Trickster taunted in a babyish tone.
"No, but you'll cry after I've done with you!" Diane whispered angrily.
Without warning, the vixen screamed loudly in the air causing the rabbit to looked at her with a shocked face with his eyes widened, his jaw dropped, and his arms drooped then the vixen ran over to the rabbit, she grabbed him, she picked him up by his shirt, the rabbit had a scared face as he shook with fear, she then tossed the rabbit across the track, and he slammed right into the gate then he fell down to the ground. Diane then jumped onto the rabbit, she chomped down on his shorts, and she ripped them away! She then spat out the shorts and looked down at the rabbit with a smiling face and her paws on her hips. She felt much better after she had done that. Manny and Gus gasped then they ran over to their friend and they stood next to him to see if he was alright.
The rabbit moaned in pain as he sat up from the ground and rubbed his head where he had hit the gate, he looked up to see the fox and his mongoose friends standing over him. His friends had concerned looks on their faces while the fox had a smile on her face.
"Trickster? Are you okay?" Manny and Gus asked in unison.
"I think so." Trickster answered still rubbing his head.
He then looked at Diane to see her smiling at him, he looked at her confused and wondered why she was smiling at him after all the bullying she had gone through.
"What are you so happy about?" Trickster asked.
"I see London, I see France, I see Trickster's underpants!" Diane taunted with her arms crossed.
Trickster looked down and gasped to see that his shorts were gone and his pink underwear was exposed for the whole world to see! He quickly jumped up from the ground, he blushed, he then covered his underwear with his paws, and he ran away from the racetrack feeling embarrassed in his underwear. Manny and Gus ran after them they wanted to get away from the vixen before she did anything to them. After they had gone away Diane smiled as she dusted her paws off in a job well done. She felt good about herself, she had stood up to her bullies and she had a feeling that they wouldn't be bullying her anymore. She then decided if she were a tough fox then nobody would bully her anymore, she nodded to herself and decided to do that for the rest of her life. She then walked over to her backpack, grabbed it, and she walked upstairs to get some water from school.
-End of Flashback-
"After that awful day I've vowed to get revenge on your for what you did to me I've decided to become the undercover bounty hunter to hunt you down and get my revenge against you when I heard that you were The Crimson Paw from my friend Marmalade and he got framed for it that when the idea came to me to show proof to the whole world that you were the real criminal instead of him! So, after you hired me and my friends as your assistants, I've decided to look around your house while you were out doing errands for proof about your dark secret that's when I discovered your secret room where you keep your stuff when you were the criminal. After that I had an idea about making a movie with my phone to show all your secrets to the world!" Trickster explained as he rubbed his paws evilly.
"But I don't get it how did you show Diane doing her crimes as The Crimson Paw when it was a long time ago?" Wolf asked, shrugging his shoulders.
"That's right how did you do that?" Diane asked.
"Simple! First when you were out of the house doing errands I began to make the movie by showing your secret room with my camera on my phone then I teleported to the prison where Marmalade was being held in to prove that he was telling the truth about you with my lie detector ring, and finally I went back through time with my powers to record you committing the crimes you did in the past along with breaking your friends out of prison me and my phone were invisible at the time so you couldn't see us making more easy for me to record you! After that, me and my friends edited the video to make sure there aren't any errors in it then after the video was done, I saved it on my USB flash drive to keep it safe. I had to wait for a right moment to show the whole world about your dark secret I needed to be a right time!" Trickster explained as he shrugged his shoulders.
Diane gasped and asked. "My birthday?"
"Bingo!" Trickster shouted. "You see after I've heard that your birthday party was being held at the gala and your first movie is about to be shown there, I've figured that it was the best time for you to be exposed to who you really are on your birthday to ruin your life just like how you ruined mine!"
Diane's cheeks turned red with anger as she clenched her teeth and fists while glaring at her bully.
"How could you! I mean look I'm sorry for what I did to you at high school but you were insulting my dead father that was very sick of you I mean you bullied me before sure but I didn't let me bother me but you've crossed the line when you insulted my father who died from drinking too much he couldn't handle the pain of the loss of my mother and you have a nerve to insult me and him like that!" She shouted as she stomped. The bullies backed away from the vixen in fear. Wolf looked at Diane in shock. He had seen her angry before but he had never seen her this angry but to be fair she had every right to be angry after all he did insult her dead father. Everyone sat there in shock even Snake, Shark, Piranha, and Webs were staring in shock at the angry vixen. Manny and Gus walked up to the rabbit from behind.
"She does have a point sir." Manny said.
"It wasn't very nice of you to insult her father like that." Gus said wagging his finger.
Trickster turned and growled at his mongoose friends who backed away from him in fear.
He then turned to the vixen with an angry face.
"Oh, you're sorry huh? Well, it's too late for that you've ruined my life and now I've ruined your life by exposing the truth to everyone!" Trickster shouted, pointing to her. He then turned to the audience, he ran in front of the stage, and he held his arms up in the air to get everyone's attention as he began his speech.
"Attention everyone as you now know Diane Foxington is nothing more but a cheating, lying, sneaky, dishonest, stealing, and evil fox who fooled you all with her kindness but now that you know the truth do you still want to have her as governor?" Trickster announced.
"NO!" Everyone shouted as they shook their fists in the air except for Snake, Piranha, Shark, and Webs.
"Then I say we throw this sneaky fox in jail and elect me as your new governor!" Trickster shouted.
"YEAH!" Everyone agreed.
"She's not our beloved governor anymore she's a dishonest thief!" A male golden-brown lion shouted.
"I can't believe that I've voted for that fraud." A female green turtle said in disbelief.
"She had been lying to us all these years!" A female brown otter added.
"I say we reelect that good and honest rabbit and throw that evil and lying fox in the slammer!" A male brown hawk suggested.
"YEAH!" The crowd agreed.
Diane stared at the audience in disbelief everyone was agreeing for her to get thrown in the slammer and want to reelect the rabbit as governor even though it was true that she did commit those crimes in the past especially breaking her friends out of prison but she only did it to help her friends out and cleared their names she wasn't proud of what she did in the past even when she was only breaking her friends out to help them she still felt bad for taking out those guards and were probably in the hospital right now from their injuries. She also felt very bad for stealing the Zumpango diamond and had been wearing it around her finger with her ring for a very long time. But she had redeemed herself to become the better person, she was only trying to help her friends clear their names, and the diamond was back in the museum where it belongs but it was still no excuse for what she did back then and still felt bad for it.
She stared at the audience with a very sad face with tears filling up her eyes, her lips were quivering, and her paws were clasped together as she looked from left to right to see everyone glaring and shaking their fists at her in anger. Diane couldn't take it anymore it was too much for her to handle she sniffed as she dropped the microphone then she covered her face with her paws and she ran out of the theater room crying while pushing Wolf out of the way by accident as she ran past him after that she had reached the door of the backstage, she opened it, she walked out, she closed the door behind her, she covered her face again, and she ran down the hallway while crying to get out of the gala as fast as possible. Wolf and his friends watched on with sad faces. They felt bad for their fox friend and wanted to do something to help her out.
"Daine, wait!" Wolf shouted to her as he stretched out his paw to stop her but it was already too late, she was long gone.
He sighed sadly then he turned to the audience with an angry face with is teeth baring they were still talking about how their governor was a traitor he had enough of this so he picked up the microphone that the vixen had dropped earlier, he brought it up to his lips, and he growled very loudly. The audience stopped as they turned to the wolf with scared faces. The wolf looked around then he smiled as he nodded his head then he cleared his throat to speak.
"Shame on all of you! Now, Diane is The Crimson Paw she did lie and steal I'll give you that but she isn't like that anymore she's a good guy now like me and my friends." Wolf shouted as he pointed to all of them.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Snake, Shark, Piranha, and Webs walked up to the stage and they stood next to Wolf with determined faces.
"Wolf is right! Diane is our good friend and she had changed our lives forever in a good way!" Shark shouted.
"That's right! That amiga of ours helped us out during the tough time we were having dealing with who we are!" Piranha agreed.
"If it hadn't been for her then we would still be in jail for the crimes we did commit and didn't commit!" Webs added.
"Yeah! And especially since tonight is her birthday, we should be celebrating her birthday not turning our backs on her because of what she did in the past! I should know because I had rotten birthdays before until Wolf came into my life, he's the best friend that I could ever ask for because he treated me nicely and with respect if I hadn't been for him then I would've had no friends at all! So, I want Diane to have the best birthday ever because she's, our friend!" Snake shouted as he stomped his tail on the ground.
Wolf smiled warmly to his best friend and said. "Thanks Snake, that's the best and nicest thing you would ever say about me."
Snake smiled back at him, saluted to him with his tail, and said. "Anytime buddy!"
Wolf then turned back to the audience.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go find my friend to make sure that she's okay." Wolf announced.
Wolf then placed the microphone back on the podium, he ran out of the room, and he ran down the hallway to see if his fox friend was all right. Snake turned to his friends and said. "Come on, guys, Diane might need our help!"
"Right!" They all agreed.
Then they too ran out of the room and down the hallway to help their fox friend.
Misty awoke from her fainting spell, she slowly got up and rubbed her head, she then turned to see her partners kneeling in front of her with concerned faces.
"Are you alright, madame?" The young police officer asked.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" The middle-aged police officer asked as he held up two fingers.
"Two." Misty answered.
"Yep, she's fine!" The young police officer said.
The middle-aged police officer nodded in agreement.
Misty then stood up from the floor, dusted herself off, and she looked around the room.
"Where did that traitor go?" Misty asked angrily.
"Who?" The young police officer asked.
"Diane Foxington!" She shouted.
"Oh!" The partners exclaimed understanding what she had meant.
"You just missed her." The middle-aged police officer answered.
"Yeah! She just ran out of the room." The young police officer answered, pointing outside of the room.
Misty's face turned a bright red in anger as she clenched her teeth and fists her partners looked at each other then they backed away from her knowing how angry their chief can get when she doesn't catch any criminals.
"I can't believe it all these years Diane Foxington was The Crimson Paw this entire time I couldn't believe how stupid I was the criminal was standing right in front of me this whole time! Not only that but she lied to us!" Misty muttered angrily under her breath.
"Chief, please, calm down we wouldn't have known." The young police officer assured her.
"That's right, we had no idea that the governor had been The Crimson Paw this whole time." The middle-aged police officer agreed.
She sighed sadly she knew that her partners were right they had no idea that Diane had been The Crimson Paw after all these years she had known Diane for a very long time and she had always thought of her as a good citizen only to realize that she was a criminal this whole time not only she felt angry but she felt hurt and betrayed. Diane was her best friend and she just now learnt that she was The Crimson Paw who stolen the diamond and wore it around her ring without her even knowing felt like a sword through the heart. She felt tears in her eyes she then turned around, took off her glasses, sniffed a bit, and wiped away the tears so the boys wouldn't notice. The partners looked at each other with concerned faces then they looked back at their chief wondering if she was okay.
"Chief? Are you okay?" The young police officer asked reaching his arm out to her.
"Yeah, I-I-I fine, I'm okay." Misty said between sniffles.
"Are you sure?" The middle-aged cop asked.
Misty turned around and shouted. "YES! I'M FINE!"
The partners backed away from her with scared faces then Misty put back her glasses, she put on a straight face, she turned around, and she faced her partners.
"Come on, boys, we have a fox to catch!" Misty told them.
"Yes madame!" They said as they saluted to her.
Misty then opened the front door, she ushered her partners to run out, they ran out of the room, the others followed behind, she then ran out of the room, she closed the door behind her, and they ran down the hallway to find the vixen.
Back on the stage, Trickster turned to his friends with an evil smiling face.
"Come on, boys, let's go capture that fox ourselves!" Trickster commanded.
"Yes sir!" They said as they saluted to him.
Trickster clapped his paws twice then they disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke. This amazed the audience then they clapped, whistled, and cheered for the amazing trick that they had just seen.
Meanwhile, Diane was sitting down on her knees on top of the stairway outside of the gala while crying into her paws she felt very sad and betrayed after what had happened in the theater room where Trickster had shown the whole room of people her dark secret of her being The Crimson Paw and on her birthday of all days! She knew that he wanted revenge on her for what she did to him in high school which was kinda fair since she did pantsed him that day but he had also insulted her dead father which was very disrespectful of him bullying her for being a fox was one thing but insulting her dead father was going way too far she couldn't control herself he had made her very angry but still that was no excuse for what he did to her back in that theater room. Now, her life was going to be a nightmare she was going to jail, lose her job, lose her home, and lose her friends! Even get blacklisted from everything else.
"Diane!" Wolf's voice called out.
Diane uncovered her face, she turned around and saw Wolf running up toward her then he stopped next to her, he then sat down on his knees, and looked at her with a concerned face.
He then placed his paw on her and asked. "Are you okay?"
Diane shook her head and she covered her face to sob some more as the wolf sighed sadly then the wolf wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug she accepted his embrace as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled closer to him into a hug. Wolf and Diane hugged for a very long time as the wolf rubbed her back up and down while rocking her back and forth like he would with a baby as the vixen cried on his shoulder and clutched his shirt to release some tension she was having right now. He shushed her gently and softly to help soothe her, comfort her, and help her calm down. Wolf felt both sad and angry at the same time. He felt sad for his fox friend that her secret was exposed to everyone in the gala, she could lose her job over it, and he felt angry at the rabbit who had exposed that secret to everyone he knew that he was a bully but this time he had gone too far with doing that in the gala.
"It's okay Diane. It's going to be okay." He assured her softly.
"No, it's not okay! It will never be okay ever again! My life is over now that everyone knows the truth about my secret past I'll never be governor again!" Diane shouted between sobs.
Wolf sighed sadly again and said. "Yes it will."
"What do you mean?" She asked him.
"Well, if you tell everyone your side of the story especially Chief Misty Luggins I'm sure they'll understand and she might even give you a lighter sentence." He explained to her.
Diane raised her head up from his shoulder and looked at him in his yellow eyes.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes! I'm sure of it!" Wolf assured her softly with a smiling face.
Diane smiled as she wiped away the tears from her eyes and said. "Yeah! You're right! I'll just tell them my side of the story!"
Wolf and Diane smiled to each other with their arms still wrapped around each other.
"I'm sure Misty will understand." Diane said.
"Oh yeah? That's what you think!" Misty shouted from behind.
Wolf and Diane pulled away from the hug, turned around, and gasped in horror to see Misty and her police squad standing there with angry faces and their hands on their hips they were all glaring at the vixen who had betrayed them for keeping this secret from them for a very long time and they also felt betrayed by the crimes she had committed! Some of them were the same guards at the prison island who had escaped it after it had blown up. They all still hold a grudge against the fox after what she had done to them. They felt lucky to even get out of there alive! Misty then walked up to the two canines, stopped in front of them, and she pointed to the fox.
"You-you-you traitor! How could you? I've worked with you, trusted you, and you never told me that you were The Crimson Paw?" Misty yelled at her.
Diane bowed her head in shame as the wolf patted her on the back.
Misty then turned around to her back to her with her arms crossed as she lowered her head and shook it in disappointment then she turned her head back to the vixen with a sad and disappointed look on her face.
"You know Diane I would've expected this kind of betrayal from Wolf and his friends but from you the governor of all people I've never thought I would live to see the day that our own governor would betray us like this!" Misty said in a disappointed tone.
"Look chief I can explain everything!" Diane pleaded stretching out her paw to her.
Misty quickly turned around and glared at the fox.
"Explain? Explain?! Ha! Why should I let you explain and believe what you have to say?" Misty asked sarcastically.
"Besides everything that you had told me was a lie!" Misty added.
Diane's eyes grew wide as her jaw dropped in shock at what she had just told her.
"What?! No! Not everything!" She protested.
She then sighed sadly as she bowed her head and said. "Well, OK some of it was a lie but everything else is true and besides I had to lie because I wanted to keep my secret from coming out to everyone because this could've ruined my reputation as governor!"
"Ha! It's too late for that!" Misty shouted.
"Chief, please! I'm not proud of what I did but only did it because I was bullied as a kid everyone hated me because I was a fox and nobody would ever trust a fox because of what they heard in stories, news, and other media but then one day Trickster took it too far by insulting my dead father I lost control of myself and pantsed him in revenge after that day I've had decided to become the fox that everyone told me I was so I wouldn't be bullied anymore. But after I saw myself in the reflection at the factory while stealing the Golden Dolphin award I realized what I was doing was wrong so I turned my life around and became the governor of this city to redeem myself and become a better fox I am right now." Diane explained.
Misty stared at her with a disbelief look on her face.
"Please you have to believe me!" Diane pleaded as she clasped her paws together.
Misty stared at her a while before she shook her head and said. "Yeah right! That's another lie!"
"Chief please I'm telling you the truth this time!" Diane pleaded.
"Yes! She's right Chief she is telling the truth she was bullied back then and the reason she became a villain is because nobody wanted to be her friend because of who she was but after she had stopped herself of stealing the Golden Dolphin award from the factory she had turned over a new leaf and became the governor who she is today to make the world a better place, help those in need, and to redeem herself. Please you have to believe her because I believe her." Wolf said, placing his paw on her shoulder. She stared at the canines for a second before she shook her head, she pulled out the handcuffs out of her belt, and looked at the fox with a sad and angry face. Wolf and Diane looked at each other sadly knowing that it was over for the vixen she was going to jail for her crimes for who knows how long and there was nothing that they could do to change the human's mind but as least they tried.
"I'm sorry but your under-arrest Diane Foxington for the crimes of being The Crimson Paw!" Misty said sadly.
Daine bowed her head as she held out her arms then Misty placed the cuffs on her wrists and snapped them tightly then Diane looked at her cuffed wrists as Wolf placed his paw on her shoulder and they both looked at each other with sad faces. Wolf then turned to the human to ask her a question.
"How long will she be in jail?" He asked.
"For life! And by the way she's no longer the governor of the city!" Misty responded with an evil smile on her face and her hands on her hips.
"What?!" The two canines shouted in disbelief.
"Chief! You can't be serious!" Diane protested.
"Oh, I'm serious alright! You brought this upon yourself after all you lied to us all these years and became the criminal behind our backs!" Misty said as she wagged her finger at her.
"With all due respect Chief don't you think sending her to prison for life is a bit harsh? After all she was a thief not a murderer sure she beaten up a few guards back at the prison island where she broke me and my friends out but she didn't kill anyone besides everyone escaped from that island before it blew up." Wolf explained.
Misty just huffed as she her head away from them with her arms crossed.
"May I take it from here chief?" A voice asked.
Everyone looked around to see where the voice had come from then they saw Trickster and his friends standing in front of the two canines with smiling faces and their arms crossed they had appeared in front of them earlier without anyone knowing because they were too busy talking to each other to have notice them. Diane glared and growled at her bullies angrily, Wolf glared at the bullies with his arms crossed, and Misty was looking at them with a smiling face and her hands clasped together in delight because she knew the rabbit ever since she was a teenager and the other officers looked at them with confused looks on their faces wondering what they were talking about. Misty was a huge fan of Trickster. She had watched him on the news about how he was an undercover bounty hunter who captured criminals by surprise since he was undercover and he was a hero to her and her inspiration of being a cop.
"Oh, my goodness! It's Trickster the undercover bounty hunter!" Misty exclaimed cheerfully, pointing to him.
Trickster turned to the policewoman and said. "Ah, you must be one of my fans who watched me on the news."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Sure am!" Misty exclaimed cheerfully.
Trickster chuckled as he walked up to the woman and held out his paw to shake with her she accepted as they both shook hands and paws together then they let go as they smiled to each other.
"I've watched you so much on the news lately ever since I was a teenager and you were my inspiration to becoming a police officer well part of the inspiration but still you were the one who inspired me the most!" Misty gushed with her hands clasped together in delight.
"Thank you and I've heard so much about you as well I've heard that you had captured Wolf and his friends well they had given themselves up but still you did capture them I'm quite impressed that you've never given up until they were finally caught! I'm so proud of you." Trickster said with a smiling face and his arms crossed.
Misty blushed as she curled her hair with her arm behind her back and her legs crossed while giggling in modesty and said. "Well, I'm just doing my job."
Trickster then frowned and said. "But however!"
Misty looked at him confused and asked. "What?"
"I am disappointed in you for arresting the wrong person like my friend Marmalade who you thought was The Crimson Paw when in reality Diane Foxington had been The Crimson paw this whole time and you've never noticed that the criminal you were after was right in front of you this whole time!" Trickster shouted as he stomped.
Misty was taken aback by this then she grinned sheepishly as she scratched the back of her neck.
"I mean seriously how could you have not noticed The Zumpango Diamond she was wearing around her finger?!" Trickster shouted shrugging his shoulders.
"Well, I didn't notice it at the time I mean I should've taken a closer look at her ring but she was the governor and I didn't know it was the diamond at the time since I trusted the governor and the diamond did fell out of the guinea pig's pocket after his lamp had landed on top of him. I guess I should've let him take a lie detector test to see if he was telling the truth or not but after what I say in the movie we've just seen I guess he had been telling us the truth this whole time. But it gotta admit the diamond did fell out of his pocket and it looked like that he was The Crimson Paw but I guess I should've gotten some more clues to make sure that if he committed those crimes that Diane did or not." Misty explained sheepishly.
Trickster then smiled at her and chuckled.
"Aw, that's okay Misty I forgive you besides you were just doing your job and I hold no grudge against you or the police force." Trickster said, waving his paw to her.
Misty smiled as she sighed in relief and said. "Oh, good! Thank you!"
Trickster nodded then he frowned angrily and said. "But I do hold a grudge against Diane Foxington after what she did to me in high school!"
Misty nodded and said. "That's seems fair she's all yours take her away!"
"Thank you." Trickster said bowing to her.
"You're welcome." Misty said nodding to him.
He then walked over to the two canines, he stopped in front of them, he turned around, and he smiled evilly with his paws on his hips at the fox in front of him along with his mongoose friends who were doing the same as Trickster who were also standing right behind him.
"OK, Diane! You're coming with me!" Trickster shouted as he grabbed her by the wrist.
"Oh, no, I'm not!" Diane shouted as she pulled her wrist away from him quickly.
Trickster nearly tumbled backwards but his mongoose friends caught him just in time and helped him stand back up.
Trickster growled angrily at her and said. "OK, Diane we can do this an easy way or a hard way!"
"Hard!" Diane answered angrily.
"Very well then!" Trickster said as he rolled up his sleeves and they all began to advance to her.
Diane shrank back in fear then Wolf had an idea he reached into his pocket, pulled out some grapes he had stolen from the kitchen earlier from the dining area, he then tossed the grapes, they rolled around on the ground, Trickster and his friends then suddenly slipped on the grapes, and they fell down to the ground then they were knocked out cold. Everyone gasped in shock at what had just happened even Misty stood there with her eyes widened, her jaw hung opened, and her arms drooping at her sides. Wolf then pulled out a lockpick, he grabbed her by the wrists, Diane looked at him confused, he then picked the locks of the cuffs, the cuffs slipped off of the vixen's wrists, she smiled as she rubbed her wrists she was happy that she was free from the cuffs, he then grabbed by her wrist, and he gestured her to follow him.
"Come on, Diane! We're getting out of here!" Wolf whispered to her.
"OK!" Diane whispered back to him.
Normally she didn't like escaping from the law except back then when she was The Crimson Paw but she'll make an exception this time after all she rather be arrested by Misty than by her bullies she didn't know what her bullies would do after they had arrested her but she didn't want to find out so she agreed to escape with Wolf. They both stood up, they held paws, they quickly ran to the wolf's car, they opened the doors, got into the car, they buckled up, Wolf started the car, and they drove down the road back to Diane's house to find the place to hide from the heat. At the same time, Snake, Piranha, Webs, and Shark came bursting out of the front door and looked around outside of the gala wondering where Wolf and Diane were. They looked and looked but saw no sign of their canine friends.
"Where did they go?" Snake wondered.
"Look! The car is gone!" Shark exclaimed, pointing to the road.
"Hey! You're right they must've took off without us!" Piranha shouted.
"Oh man! Diane must be in real trouble if they had taken off like that." Webs said as she held her face.
"Come on guys they need us!" Snake commanded as he motioned for his friends to follow him.
They all ran down the road together.
Meanwhile, Trickster and his friends woke up as they rubbed their heads to numb the pain then they stood up and shook off their daze after that they looked around to see Wolf and Diane were missing!
"Aw shit! She escaped again!" Trickster shouted as he stomped in anger.
"Calm down, sir, I'm sure we'll find her." Manny assured him as he held out his paws.
"That's right! We'll find her eventually." Gus assured him as he shrugged his shoulders.
Trickster smiled as he nodded his head to his mongoose friends.
"Yeah, you're right! Come on, boys let's go hunt down a fox!" Trickster said as he gestured them to follow him.
"Yeah!" They both shouted in unison as they pumped their fists in the air.
Trickster then snapped his fingers then a large purple motorcycle with three black cushion seats appeared right in front of them after that they hopped on the motorcycle, Trickster snapped his fingers again as purple helmets appeared on their heads, the rabbit started the motorcycle, let it run for a while, and he drove down the road to find the vixen. After they had left, Misty shook her head to snap out from what she had just seen earlier then she noticed that nobody was around she growled in anger as she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists together. She then turned to her squad.
"What are we going to do Chief?" One of the cops asked.
Misty then looked up at the sky and answered. "Something I should've done a long time ago."

Fun Fact #1: The scene where the camera gets too close to Wolf and Diane is the reference to the beginning of Disney's Aladdin where the peddler tells the audience to get closer to him but the camera comes too close to the peddler squishing him against the camera I thought it would be funny to add that reference in this story.
Fun Fact #2: Trickster is based on Gideon Grey from Zootopia who was Judy's childhood bully along with his friend Travis who mocks her for being a cop when she was young but only this time Trickster isn't going to be like Gideon who had changed his ways instead he's a bully who is now a bounty hunter all grown up and vowed revenge against the fox.
Fun Fact #3: This story was inspired by Batman The Animated Series "Over the Edge" episode where Barbra has a nightmare where she dies and Gordon finds out her secret and feels betrayed by Batman for not telling him and decided to take revenge by hunting him down and arresting him. This was also inspired by The Simpsons episode called "The Principal and The Pauper" where the real Seymour Skinner shows up and Skinner tells the truth about his past which was the episode that everyone hated but I liked. And finally, it was also inspired by The Littles episode called "Doomsday Pizza" where Dinky has a nightmare about Hunter discovering the littles and they all get captured by him. These three episodes inspired me to write this story! Also inspired by the Family Guy episode named "And Here's Joyce Kennedy."
Fun Fact #4: Trickster is voiced by Tim Curry (Drake from The Pebble and The Penguin). Also, Manny is voiced by Rob Paulsen who voiced Bubba from The PowerPuff Girls (1998 version) and Gus is voiced by Brick also voiced by Rob Paulsen from The PowerPuff Girls (1998 version).
Fun Fact #5: The music and songs that play in this story belong to its owners not me but I do own this story.
