The Missing Hybrid (Zootopia rp)

[FaPingMulan]

"Not a chance Dallas, inmates dont get their free taste in booze, so you'll be missing out." Nick couldn't help but sneer a bit at the young trouble making boar.

He had to admit that a night on the town sounded like it could be a night of fun but there was no way he would be able to deal with Judy's rage afterward should he even say yes so he had to turn his old partner in crime's offer down.

"Actually I hadn't but he seemed to pick up a few things elsewhere." He added to Finnick when he asked him about teaching his son, Terry, the tricks of the trade with a bit of a glare at Dallas.

"Zeke! Show Dallas his new home for the night." He called over his shoulder to the new fox

[True Love's Kiss]

"Meh! Suit yourself family man, but you're missing out!" Finnick shrugged, hiding his disappointment pretty well to himself. It never comes easy once you're the only friend whose still single, while the other one has already gotten family obligations and must be devoted to it at all times, which was one of the many reasons why Finnick would always step outta the way since marriage and fatherhood had changed Nick's whole entire life; something that was so far from obvious the fennec fox himself would not be able to understand since this wouldn't be the first time his old friend had to turn down his offer. "I'm out! Ciao!" He added, giving his farewell signal and left the police building til he was out of sight.

Shortly right away after Finnick was gone, Terry could do nothing but watch as Zeke was coming his way over to take Dallas away to put him behind bars. "Wait, stop!" The hybrid said, standing up out from his chair. "You can't send him down to the slammer!" He told them.
Judy was taken a bit surprise to see her son standing up to the boar. She would've asked him why not, but she was certain there had to be a reasoning excuse as to why. "We have to Terry, it's part of the job of being a cop!"

"But I haven't told you yet WHY we did it!" Terry answered. Since she didn't had the evidence written down on paper just yet, Judy still was interested in hearing the whole story; even if it was through her own son's side of the tale. "Fine! We're listening." She added, giving her full attention. Pondering on how this should go, Terry look down at his wrists to see that he was still handcuffed. "First, unhandcuffed me!" He told his bunny mother.

"Wait, he's NOT serious is he?!" Judy thought to herself once her eyes widen and her ears dropped. She stared at her own cub believing that maybe he was crazy or something. "This HAS to be a trick!" She thought as her right paw was reaching down to get her keys, but she stop halfway before even touching them; still keeping her senses locked on Terry. "Mom, what are you waiting for? Just get these handcuffs off me, and I'll tell you everything. I promise!" Terry swore on his word, wondering what was taking his mother so long to be making up her mind.

Remembering Dallas' warning from earlier back at 5th South Avenue, Judy was too hesitated to do so. But since Terry vowed he wouldn't do anything bad, the officer bunny still had to make sure to keep her guard up if he should try anything. So she got her keys and unlocked the handcuffs from Terry's wrists. "Okay, they're off! But don't expect me to do the same for Dallas." She had to mention to her young teenage hybrid cub, while giving the boar behind him a warning glare.

"Fair enough.." Terry said, rubbing his sore wrists from those uncomfortable handcuffs he had on them which now were no longer on him thankfully. He took this quick moment to look back behind him to see that Dallas was still there, along with Zeke, both in which the two of them were still quiet before turning his attention back towards his parents. "Alright..." He sighed, while scratching the back of his neck with one ear up and the other ear down, trying to think of where to start. "Hmm...what's the best way for me to start this?"

"Well?" Judy asks, getting a bit slightly impatient with her boy.
"Okay, okay fine!" Says Terry after thinking it out. He took a deep breath to calm himself down first. "I...I did what I had to do. To help Dallas." He responded with a bit of a short answer.

"Help him with what?" Judy had to asked.
"Dallas said he needed the money in exchange of using it to trade it in with a kidnapper who has his dad; somewhere outside of the city." Terry quickly had given out his explanation. All of that, and so far none of it had made any sense to Judy. "He told you this?" She asks, giving out a very confusing puzzling expression. She was unsure of this was a real trick or if it was the final truth. "It's true!" Dallas replied with a nod.

Judy shook her head. "Terry, that's not how it works! If his father was missing, why didn't the two of you just come to us first? We've handle cases of missing mammals before!"

"I try to tell him that, but he wouldn't listen!" Terry answered.
"That's because you stupid cops would've given up the search if it took you less than a month to find him!!" Dallas called them out as he marched right back up to them, staring them both down with a bitter glare at them.

"No we wouldn't!" Judy objected. "Because we're a team; my husband and I had never given up on a case before! How long has your dad been gone for now Dallas?"

"Around the same time I started high school 4 years ago..." Dallas embarrassingly confessed. Judy was shocked; shocked to believe that the boar's father has been gone for THAT long and yet rather reported it to them about his disappearance like he should've done 4 years ago, it was shocking to believe they would take the long way around by stealing money. In which case, there was no solid evidence to prove that Dallas' dad was ever kidnapped. "So you decided it was best to bribe my son into doing your dirty work instead of letting us handle it? THAT IS A NEW LOW! EVEN FOR YOU!!" Judy scolded Dallas, outraged with him. "And since you're an adult now, you KNOW I can have you arrested for having a minor being your accomplice." She added. "It's 5 years of prison for you Dallas!"

"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!!" Dallas exclaimed furiously at the cop bunny.
"Fine, how about we make it 10? I'll bump it up to 15!!!" Judy says, raising his sentence of jail-time should the boar try to make another bad remark to her one more time.

"Wait a minute mom!" Terry says, putting the conversation to a halt. "Dallas didn't bribe me...I offered." He revealed.
"You WHAT?!!? Judy cried in surprise, the shock of her tone being more higher and louder. "You...HELP HIM!!?!? WHY TERRY?! Your father and I raised you better than this!!!"

"And you both did, don't get me wrong, but wasn't the life lessons you always taught me were about doing the right thing and making good choices?" Terry reminded his mother.

"Yes, but not by turning yourself into a criminal!" Cried Judy. "You're not that kind of---" She paused herself, trying to think of what word to use to describe Terry, but came up with nothing expect for just one. "....animal?"

"Animal?!!?" Terry arched a raising suspicious eyebrow at his mother. "You wanted to say prey or predator, but you couldn't...could you?" He asks her seriously by testing her. For the hybrid, he found this to be quite a bit offensive to him. "I umm...." Judy try to think of another way to defend her side of the statement, but got nothing. Not even one small single word alone. Noticing her awkward hesitation to answer back, it seem to be enough proof for the poor hybrid alone.

"So what am I to you in your own eyes? A fox? A bunny? Prey? Predator?" The hybrid questioned his bunny mother, still staring at her with a serious stern on his face while trying to keep his temper in check.

"You're my son!" Judy pointed out, being as calm as she could be with him. "The important thing is your father and I both love you very much. You're a special, gifted and unique young boy Terry and that's something to be proud of, despite being different." She added as she came to him closer and gently place her soft paw on his arm to which he quickly knocked away with the slap of his back paw. "THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!" He barked at her.

"Have you already forgotten the way these animals look at me whenever I step out in public? The way they stare and shun me down? Why do you think they do that mom? I'll tell you why; Because I'm a hybrid and hybrids don't fit in, in Zootopia! There's not one single animal in this dumb city who would understand what I'm going through, how I feel! Sometimes I even feel ashamed of being what I am! Why couldn't I look more of a bunny like you, or more of a fox like dad?"

"Terry, listen to yourself! Do you have any idea who you sound like?!?" Judy had told him, seeing how all of that negative comeback Dallas had said about her son earlier was now causing a more deeper effect on poor Terry.

"Oh I'm listening all right! AND I also overheard what you said to dad about me!"

Judy gasped. "You don't mean--"
"That's right!" Terry said, stepping forward while Judy stepped back. "You think I could go crazy! Why? Because it's in my DNA? The fact that I am half predator? The blood I have with the mix of being part fox and part bunny? Tell me if this sounds familiar!" He said as he came to bringing his paws up, curling his fingers down, preparing like he was gonna take his mother by full surprise. "What do you suppose might happened if I do this?" He asks, extending his claws right out.

As soon as she saw her son's claws coming out right from those paws of his, instant painful memories struck a cord deep down into Judy's memory. The last time she had seen an animal began to threaten and insult her with claws out was when her childhood bully Gideon Grey used to pick on her and her friends after stealing their tickets, only then which earn her a big old scratching cut across her cheek. But it was such a long time ago, poor Judy had forgotten about that until now when the very fear inside of her reminded her of that horrible day. But then, something felt off; Judy could've sworn the way her son's body language was cluing her in with something else. And that was when it hit her; It was the same type of body language she had seen in Nick once when he try doing the same type of test when it came to the ways of a predator's behavior.

Judy could still hear the same words Nick once said to her back at the press conference a long time ago back; still ringing inside of her head.
"So l-let me ask you a question; Are you afraid of me? You think I might go nuts? You think I might go savage? You think I might try to...EAT YOU?!?!"

"STAY BACK!!" Judy warned Terry as she jumped back and pulled out a taser and pointing it straight at her hybrid cub; freezing in her position. Terry flinched back a bit, much to his horror shocked. "Were--were you just about to taser me?!!? He cried angrily at her. Judy snapped outta her fear, only to find to her horrible realization she could've cause. "No Terry, I'd--"

Terry's ears lower down sadly. "I knew it! It was too good to be true." He thought to himself. "I don't believe this!!" He said, unable to hide away the hurt in his tone. "Even my own mother fears me!"

"Terry, that is NOT what happened! I didn't mean to--" Judy try to convince her son that it was just a simple little incident, but her cub refused to listen to her. "No I think you did! I'm outta here!!" He said, turning his back away and started to leave. But just as he was heading out the doors to exit, he was stopped by Francine the elephant who blocked his way out.

"Outta my way!" He growled at the giant prey in front of him. "Or I'll--" Unfortunately for the hybrid, he got scooped up by the elephant's trunk. "Hey let me go!!" He try struggling out, but it was no use. "Want me to put him behind bars, along with his pig friend?" Francine asks the couple after bringing him back to them. Judy sighed sadly and turned her back at them, not wanting to face her own son right now or even look him in the eyes. "Do I have a choice?"

Francine nodded to the bunny's decision, and decided to joined Zeke by taking the two trouble makers away; with Francine carrying Terry while Zeke took care of Dallas. "Wha--NO! You can't do this to me! I don't wanna spend the rest of my life in prison! I'm too young to have a criminal record! MOM! DAD! PLEASE NO!!!" Terry begged, pleading for his folks to spare him as he sobbed with such fury and sadness. Dallas shook his head at the couple as he was being dragged off too. "And you thought I snooped so low? That's NOTHING compare to what I saw you try to do! If anyone earns the worst mother of the year award, it's you!" The boar yelled at the bunny, referring to of course about that stunt she almost did to her kid with the taser. Poor Judy didn't think she could bare to stay at work for very much long. "Come on Nick, let's go home." She tells her husband.

After getting all of the paperwork done about Dallas and Terry's case, the officer bunny handed the full report over to Clawhauser and told the overweight cheetah to give it to Cheif Bogo since she couldn't find it in herself to hand it over to the boss in person. Given that it was already late, it was for the best for the couple to now at last, head back home. The poor sad bunny was far too quiet to speak up on the way back, but eventually the two of them were home at last. For the longest time, when Nick and Judy began forming their sparkling romantic relationship, the two of them share the same apartment together that Judy used to live at since she first moved to Zootopia. But up until Terry's birth, they were able to save up just enough money to move into a more humble nice neighborhood, still living to this very day, a sweet small house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a modern kitchen, a nice living room, a small den and a wonderful backyard to hang out at.

Once the couple were inside of their house, Judy close the front door behind her and set her house keys in a small bowl that was on top of a small side table. Exhausted from today, Judy headed to the bathroom where she removed her clothes and went to go take a shower. With the steam filling up the room, fogging up the bathroom mirror and the water soaking up on her wet fur, Judy couldn't seem to get her mind off from what happened today. Those cruel words of Dallas were still replaying from the back of her mind;
"YOU'RE A JOKE! YOUR ENTIRE STUPID MARRIAGE IS A BIG FAT JOKE!"

Judy shook the thoughts of those awful reminders outta her head, so she hurry up and try to rush cleaning up herself so she can head to bed. After a quick scrub, she turned off the shower and dry herself off with the towel. Judy kept the towel wrapped around her body and headed off into the bedroom, and sat down on top of the bed. It seem very difficult to try to do anything else without the distraction of what happened today after finding Dallas and Terry. And yet she did had to wonder; did every animal in Zootopia view her marriage to Nick as some type of a joke? Somehow, she couldn't recall. Judy reach out to get her cell phone and check on her apps, luckily for her she had one that plays videos so she didn't have to go through the internet just to look some up. Judy found the very one she was looking for and then click on the very first thumbnail and started watching.

The very video she was watching happened to be a news reporter starring Peter Moosebridge and his co-anchor who was a female snow leopard. "This just in; the biggest news to ever hit history!" Announced the snow leopard co-anchor. "Officer Judy Hopps from the ZPD has been officially engaged to her partner, Officer Nicholas P. Wilde. The first and only inter-species couple here in Zootopia! Reports have said the couple have been keeping their dating relationship down to a low profile, until their engagement took place at a public restaurant where they were seen dining in."

Judy couldn't help but nodded to herself while still streaming the video from her phone. Oh, what a big huge deal it was all over the city since the big news broke in. The two of them became the biggest pep talk Zootopia has ever talked about. They were so famous to the public eye since that day, that even the paparazzi once stop Judy down the street after she was seen leaving the supermarket because she was shopping for groceries where she was planning on cooking a homemade meal for her and Nick that day, and all they did was stop her to ask a lot of personal questions about her and Nick, that even included about their engagement. While it personally was kinda nice to earn that kind of attention, it winded up becoming too annoying for Judy afterword. It was no wonder she ended up forgetting all about it. It was to her believed all of that heavy popularity attention must have died down when she had gotten pregnant at the time, and then had given birth to Terry afterword.

"We've taken the opportunity to interview what our fellow everyday citizens of Zootopia think about this!" The co-anchor added, showing a clip of her asking everyday animals in the city the very same question; "What are your thoughts and opinions about Officer Hopps and Officer Wilde soon to be getting married?" And just like it was predicted, many of the animals just had the same questioning, confusing disbelief reactions.

"A bunny and a fox getting engaged?" Said one koala that was first being shown interview with that very question. "Pfft, not likely!" He scoffed.
"It won't last!" Answered a giraffe next, shaking his head no by sharing his statement.
"Hahahaha! A fox and a rabbit together? You gotta be kidding!!" Laughed a female sheep, believing it to be a joke.

"Ugh!" Judy rolled her eyes and stopped the video before it could even ended since she could no longer take anymore of it, so she set the cell phone away and flopped right down on top of the bed; staring at the ceiling above her with her arms crossed resting upon the damp towel she was still wearing around herself. "Everything Dallas said was true; I am a bad mother!" She sniffled. It did no good for her to fight back the tears, so she broke down sobbing.

[Renton]

Long after he had gone off to sleep, Renton began to experience a few nightmares, which caused him to toss and turn in his bed. "No...stop that...give it back..." he groaned.

In a local park were three wolf teenagers playing a game of Monkey in the Middle, tossing a wallet around back and forth. The owner of that wallet was a 12-year-old young fawn, desperately trying to get it back. The leader of the wolf trio, a tough-looking black wolf with his head hair dyed purple named Emilio, was laughing and mocking Renton the whole time.

"Fetch, boy! Fetch!" Emilio laughed.

"Hey, come on! I need that!" Renton cried out desperately as he repeatedly jumped to try and reach for his wallet. "It's mine!"

"Go get it, boy! Go get it, doggy!" the black wolf teased, pretending to give anticipation to the buck as though he were like a dog.

"Quit...calling me that!" the young buck grunted. Soon, he couldn't take the jumping anymore and stopped, just about ready to give up and whimpered, though trying to hold back the tears.

Emilio motioned his friends to stop the game and approach the vulnerable buck, mocking the bleat-like whimpers. "Bleat! Bleat! What are you gonna do? Cry??"

"N-No..." Renton said, holding back his attempts to even shed a tear.

Then the black wolf began to lightly shove Renton a few times when he spoke, figuring that he would always be the pathetic type. "Face it, kid. You're always gonna be a freak with that mark on your face. Your parents never loved you. Sure, they may look like they love you on the outside, but inside...they see you...as a gosh-darn freak."

Anger started to grow inside the buck. He always knew his adopted parents loved him no matter what he looked like. At the last shove Emilio made, he quickly grabbed for the wolf's wrists and clenched them tight. "I...am not...a freak!" Enraged, he stomped on the wolf's right foot, which caused Emilio to react in great pain and yowl. Then he made a quick sweep of his left foot to trip Emilio from behind and then swing him up and over, allowing him to land on his back. The other wolves were stunned to witness the young buck's actions and were motionless.

Renton panted and looked down at the black wolf, satisfied that he got what he deserved. Though it wasn't like him to hurt anyone on purpose, the power in doing so still felt great to him somehow. Looking up at the other wolves, he angrily asked while pointing to them, "Do either of you want some of this, too? Huh? Do you?" The other wolves nervously shook their heads no and ran off.

Emilio slowly got up and held his back in pain before throwing back Renton's wallet. Unable to come up with the right words to say, the defeated wolf groaned, "Here, keep it. Just...stay away from me, you...you freak!" And with that, he left.

Renton awoke from his sleep and held his head, reflecting on what he just dreamed and being aware of how unsafe it may be to live in Zootopia. "Oh, man. What a nightmare." With vigilance, he stated to himself aloud, "From now on, not only am I going to protect myself better, but I shall act in personal defense when I need to. No one in Zootopia is gonna slow me down."

"Yeah, except the fact that you don't have a job yet!" called Bucky through the wall in the next apartment over.

"Hey, shut up!" yelled Pronk. "He's trying hard!"

"No, YOU shut up!" Bucky yelled back.

Sighing with exasperation at the seemingly neverending arguing, Renton lay back down on the bed and drifted off to sleep again.

[FaPingMulan]

"Awww come on Carrots. You know that's not true." Nick told as he sat down beside her and pulled her into a hug trying to console her.

"Did tonight escalate a bit out of control? Yes. Did you and Terry fight? Yes. But that's what happens sometimes Carrots. It's part of being a parent. Terry will get over it and everything will go back to normal. You'll see." He added gently rubbing her back as she cried softly into his shoulder.

[True Love's Kiss]

Meanwhile back at the police station when it was time to called it a night, and all of the police cops were out and gone leaving to return back home to their families, Dallas was laying on a cold, metal bench trying to sleep. The boar himself was gravely disappointed to be stuck at prison, and on top of that, being stuck behind bars with the son of the Officer Wilde and Hopps, the hybrid. It was highly uncomfortable to sleep on something so hard that even the prey himself try not to toss and turn around, for if he did, he would eventually fell down and landed on the floor.

Dallas awoken to the sound of a chains being jiggle. "Come on, come on!! Open!!" Terry mumbles, trying to pick the lock open with his claws. The boar sat up with a loud yawn escaping from his big mouth, and he stretched his arms out. "Wilde?" Dallas spoken groggily, rubbing his eyes. "What are you doing? It's late!"

"I'm busting us outta here!" Terry replied looking over his shoulder, but then switch his gaze back to focusing on getting out.
"Hmm? Really?" The boar reacted quite a bit surprised. "After what happened earlier tonight with the name calling and the taser incident?" He asks, referring to obviously, when he insulted the fox/bunny hybrid by throwing out rude remarks at him and then witness the intense scene where Judy try to use a taser against Terry during the argument between mother and son.

Instantly, Terry stop what he was doing when he thought it over on what Dallas had just told him. While it was true that by now, he had already became a criminal and had disappointed his parents deeply, but what he did learn from the best is to never give up. Terry sighed. "Maybe I do deserve to be in jail for the rest of my life..." He began saying. "But I am NOT going to let you suffer here Dallas!" He continued as he turn around to look at him, adding with more determination in his tone. "I made you a promise I would help you find your dad, and I intend on keeping that promise! I won't stop and rest until we set out and finished what we had started!"

Dallas was honorably surprised to hear those words come out of the hybrid. He would've thought by now that Terry would've given up, but he could see that he wasn't afraid of turning back. "Wow! You got guts Wilde, I'm impressed!" He smiled, placing his hooves on his hips.

Terry shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal to him. "You would've done the same for me."
Dallas' smile dropped after hearing that comment. "Uhhh...yeah sure umm--whatever!" He looked away while scratching the back of his neck as he felt unsure about what Terry had just said; him doing the same deed? Not likely, but the boar would never admitted that to the fox/bunny hybrid, not even in a million years if he was force against his own will. His glace return back to the hybrid soon as he heard the sound of the lock being unlocked. The chains were let loosed, and the doors were opened.

"Yes!! Now come on, let's grab the money, find your van and get out of here!" Terry tells Dallas, and was one foot away of stepping out, but Dallas stop him once again by putting a hoof to the hybrid's shoulder and pulling him back. "Hang on Wilde! You see those security cameras up there?" The boar pointed. "We can't leave with those things running. They'll be watching our very move!"

"You're right!" Terry replied after spotting the cameras up from the walls. Just then, he got an idea right away when he snapped his fingers. "Got it, we'll go to the surveillance office! Lucky for you, I know my way around here."

"How's that?" Dallas asks, wondering how the hybrid knew so well to which room was around at the police department.

"Easy! When I was homeschooled, my parents used to bring me here during take-your-kid-to-work-day. Lots of rooms are prohibited for the guests to access through, but I might be able to help you get there. All you have to do is take a right on the--" Terry began on giving the boar directions where the room was, but was already quickly on getting interrupted.

"Umm one problem Wilde; one of us has night vision and the other one doesn't!" Dallas responded sarcastically. Being the boar that he is, he wouldn't be able to find his room on his own through the darkness unless he had a flashlight with him, but even with that, that could probably give away his position.

Terry realize the boar was correct. "Hmm you're right! Okay, new plan. I'll lead you there and you'll know what to do. Good thing you know your way around computers." He told the boar. He allowed Dallas to hold onto the hybrid's fox tail as his way of leading him on the way. The good thing about being part fox is how useful the hybrid's night vision would come in handy for a time like this. There were many hallways to pass by, but eventually they were able to find the room they were looking for. Terry started using his claws again to unlocked the doorknob for the room and the door was opened, allowing for Dallas to go inside. The boar took a seat and began hacking onto the computer's system.

"And...done!" Said Dallas after hitting the enter button. Their plan became a big success once all of the security cameras were shut off. "We're good to go now Wilde!" He told him, giving him a thumbs up.

"Perfect!" Terry replied. After the problem was outta the way, the boar and the hybrid set off to go on their next task; finding the safe where their sacks of money was being kept. But once they reach there, they didn't find just only one safe, but two of them. "Oh crud! There's two safes?" Dallas exclaimed, but kept his voice down outta habit. "The new fox recruit must've put in one of each into different ones. How are we gonna get them out?" He asks Terry.

"You take that one, and I'll take the one with the buttons." Terry pointed, and so they started getting to work to figuring out how they were gonna be able to get their money outta the safes. The hybrid scratch his head as he studied closely to the buttons. "Hmm...I've never try to unlock a safe with a keypad on it before." Terry said to himself. As far as security buttons on go on safes, if there's one thing he did learn, they would go with something simple to remember. "What code would they use? Might be the chief's birthday. When's his birthday again? I think it's in March...maybe November." So without wasting anymore time to spare, Terry just took a quick guess and type in whatever numbers can come up to mind; after filling up in those numbers, the sounds of lock clicked, and the door came loose. "Wow! I just took a guess right outta the blues!"

Once the two criminal partners got their money outta the safes, the next step was to go back and find the boar's van. It was a long way back by foot, especially when each of them had a sack of money to carry, but they eventually found it to where it was last saw. So before they were ready to go leave the city, both of them had to make one last stop back at Dallas' home where they needed to go and packed up some things that were needed for the trip. Important things such as drinks, snacks, clothes, blankets and other emergency stuff such as credit cards they would need to take with them in order to get gas for the van just in case since that would be needed.

At last, all of their hard work they did had finally paid off. And it was outta the city they went. "WOO-HOO! We did it!" Dallas cheered for victory after they had just recently left Zootopia. "I can't believe it took us a year to do it, but we finally did it!" He added, sighing in relief. He grabbed his drink from the cupholder and took a sip from it.

"So...what's going to happen next after we find your dad?" Terry had asked.
"Don't know yet." Dallas answered. He honestly hadn't planned out everything, whether the mission would be a big success or not. All he did knew for sure was that he wasn't going to return back to high school since being 18 years old now, it would be entirely pointless to repeat the same grade again he had been stuck in for the last couple of years since dropping out recently was a choice Dallas had made on his own! The boar set his drink back in the cupholder. "Do you still want to go back to Zootopia after we're done?" He asks the hybrid.

"I--" Terry hadn't figure that one out on his own just yet. He look away, feeling guilty for what he had done; guilty for causing his parents to be worried sick about him for a whole entire year without informing him where he had been. Guilty for admitting his crimes after they were caught, but he wouldn't be able to forget the look in his mother's eyes; the way she had shown fear right after he had his claws out in front of her. After that big scenery, Terry was unsure if he would ever face his folks ever again afterword.

But Dallas already had gotten the hint. "Well....you'll have a lot of time to figure that one out on your own." He said. He then reach out for a blanket from the back and gave it to the hybrid. "Here! Rest up, it's gonna be a long drive from here on out!" He says. Terry thank the boar for the offer on the blanket and took it, adjusting his seat all the way down and cover himself up with the blanket to get all cozy and warm up. It wasn't long before a second after that, the hybrid yawn and then closed his eyes to go to sleep.

================================================================================================

It was morning the next day, and Judy was still sound asleep, sleeping in the arms of her fox husband. The bunny open her mouth to let out a little yawn, smacking her lips but didn't want to get up since all she wanted to do was just stay in bed with her sweet husband. She can feel the sunlight peering through their bedroom window, making their fur look shiny by sunlight. "Mmm...he smells like sunshine." Judy thought to herself, smiling stupidly with that silly thought in her mind but it was enough to have her woken up. Judy teasingly poke Nick on his nose with just a touch of her finger.

"Boop....boop!" Again and again she made that ridiculously childish sound until he finally had awoken. "Good morning Mr. Officer Wilde!" She greeted him sweetly with a smile on her face and a kiss to his very lips. "You know....we don't have to be at work for another 15 more minutes." She tells him as she was twirling her index finger on his furry chest. "What do you say we fool around for a bit?" She winked at him. "This time, the prey is in charge!" She added in a more teasing seductive tone. Soon as she started kissing her husband passionately on the lips, Judy heard the sound of her cell phone buzzing. But the bunny could care less on who was calling since that wasn't very important to her now. Her cell phone was located on a small table to where the lamp was, and since the bunny had a hard time trying to ignore whoever was calling, Judy kicked the table two times in order for her cell phone to stop until the phone fell down onto the floor and stop buzzing.

There was a sound of a voice just outside of their house calling for Nick's name, but it too faded for the couple to hear. "Nick! Nick!!" That was when the sound of tiny footsteps suddenly were drawing in near, getting more closer and closer until the sound of their front entrance door was open, then shut right away. And then; WHAM! Their bedroom door was smashed, and there revealed to be Finnick. "YO NICK!" He screamed. In his paws was a baseball bat which he had used to cause to break into the couple's bedroom door. But he as soon as he saw what the couple were doing in bed, the fennec fox's ears drooped down and his eyes widen. His cheeks were burning bright red and he dropped the baseball bat he was holding his paws by covering his mouth to keep himself from laughing.

"DAMN!!" He spitted out loud. "Had I known you two were getting busy, I would've come back later." He laughed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Judy screamed in horror after becoming caught and grabbed a tight hold of the blanket sheets to try and cover herself and Nick up from their upper bodies. "FINNICK FOR FLUFF'S SAKES, EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING YOU LITTLE--" She almost wanted to cuss him out, but froze in horror to notice the damage of their bedroom door. "Did--did you just smashed your way into our house with your baseball bat!?!?"

"Only your bedroom door, toots!" Finnick answered.
"FINNICK!!" Judy screamed again, blowing off steam in the most outrage and furious tone of voice either of the foxes had ever heard from her. "YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION THIS TIME FOR BARGING INTO MY HOME, YOU DIRTY RAT!!"
"Dang! She's scary when she's pissed off!" Finnick couldn't help but had that kind of reacting thought to himself. Sometimes he often question what his old partner ever had seen in that bunny. "I do! Your boss called, said your boy and the boar escaped last night!" He revealed by giving them the truth and only the real truth.

"WHAT?!?!?" Judy exclaim in shock. To see if Finnick was actually giving them the real scoop, she lean down and picked up her phone from the floor and check for any notifications. Her cell phone show actual proof because all of the unanswered phone calls, text messages and even the voicemail all came from Chief Bogo himself. "Oh no, he's right!" Judy cried. "We better get there right away! Get dressed and--" She stopped herself, noticing that Finnick was still there. "Finnick, do you mind?"

"Meet you outside by my van!" Finnick nodded, willing to offer the couple a ride there to work, so he pick up his baseball bat and headed his way out. Judy waited patiently until she heard the sound of her door from the main entrance opening and then being shut closed. The rabbit herself sighed in annoyance and rolled his eyes; already she was getting now sick and tired of Finnick showing up at the wrong time, at the very wrong moment. "That does it! When this is over, we are getting Finnick a girlfriend!" She told Nick.

[FaPingMulan]

Nick too had jumped slightly when Finnick had suddenly busted through their door holding a baseball bat. 'I swear sometimes my old partner has got the most worst timing!' He thought to himself both embarrassed and slightly irritated as he quickly got redressed to meet Finnick outside in the old getaway van.

[Renton]

Meanwhile, as Renton made his way toward the employment agency to see if he could try job hunting online again, his eyes caught sight of a display window of TV screens that were broadcasting some breaking news in development. He did a double take of recognizing two young teens that had their police profiles taken earlier, Terry and Dallas.

"Two young teens had escaped from their jail cells at the Zootopian Police Department the other night," reported a female snow leopard anchor. "No leads have been found as to where they have gone as of yet. If you have any information to the whereabouts of the two teens, please contact the police department immediately."

Folding his arms, Renton scoffed to himself. "Heh, why should I care for those two? They practically stole my wallet!" He started to turn and walk away backwards as he glanced at the two profiles on TV for the last time, beginning to believe that there would be no redemption for the young hybrid and boar. "Those two will probably never learn." Just as he started to turn around and walk forward, he had bumped into a tall female Zootopian citizen who wore a trench coat, a wide-brimmed hat and dark sunglasses while carrying a paper coffee cup full of mocha latte. With quick instinct, he turned around and knocked the coffee cup out of her hand while making a loud "Ki-hap!" since he was on edge about being possibly mugged. Mortified by what he had just done, he gasped. "Oh, my gosh! I am so sorry! Here, let me get that." Reaching down to pick up the coffee cup and see what was left of the latte, he apologetically said, "Let me make it up to you. I-I'll pay for another latte. It's on me."

The female citizen chuckled lightly. "It's okay, my friend." After taking off her sunglasses briefly to reveal her face, she added, "It was only an accident."

Renton was stunned to find out who it was, and his jaw dropped. "A-Aren't you...Gazelle?" he asked. "Oh, wow, I love your music! I mean, I never thought I'd ever meet you in--"

Placing a finger on his lips, she shushed him. "Not here," she said in hushed tones. "Quick, come with me." Taking him by the hand, she quickly led him to an abandoned grassy lot between two residential buildings and hid behind a tall wooden fence.

"What are you doing out here, anyway?" he asked in wonder. "Shouldn't you be out rehearsing for your next big concert?"

Sitting on a pile of boxes that rested in a corner of the lot, Gazelle took off both her hat and glasses and answered, "Well, yes, but sometimes I like to intermingle with the regular crowd and try to be like one of them once in a while."

"Ohh," he nodded, taking a seat next to her. "But...you're a major superstar. I thought you liked enjoying all the fame and attention from everyone."

"I do, yes, but...sometimes, I don't always get enough privacy. That's why I try to go...how you say...in cognito at times."

The young buck nodded, understanding now that even celebrities were just like regular people. Figuring that she may be the one who would know how to become a success in Zootopia, now was the time to ask. "Listen...I need some advice. I came here to Zootopia because I heard from everyone that it's the place where anyone can be anything. The problem is, I'm having a hard time becoming anything when hardly anyone is hiring right now. I know I have some good enough talent and skills. I can be quite helpful to the community, I can kick butt with my karate skills...I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong or what. How can I get noticed? How can I leave a mark to the great city that is Zootopia?"

Grinning, she placed a hand on his shoulder and answered, "My friend, you have what it takes to be that someone. Zootopia is a wonderful place that's full of community and diversity with many opportunities galore. I myself didn't become a superstar overnight. It took hard work as well as doing a number of small jobs to get to where I am today. It's like in my song 'Try Everything'; you just need to start off small and work your way up." Placing a finger under his chin and lifting it up a little to help him chin up, she added, "With a little patience and with great effort, you may become something bigger than you could ever imagine."

"Well, I have the patience and the effort," he explained, "but I'm just not getting the results I desire." Sensing a bit of depression, he sighed, looked away and hung his head low briefly. "I don't know what to do."

Gazelle became a bit stuck momentarily on how to help the young buck, but then inspiration struck her, and she started to sing.

Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh

She then slipped off her trench coat and stood up to perform in front of Renton. His ears perked up and he began to hang onto every word the lovely superstar sang.

Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh

I messed up tonight
I lost another fight
I still mess up but I'll just start again
I keep falling down
I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now to see what's next
Birds don't just fly
They fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it won

I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
Though I'm on the lead
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
No I won't leave
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail

Then the inspired buck stood up and joined along with her in harmony to the chorus.

Oh oh oh oh ohh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh ohh

Gazelle was surprised to hear how good the young buck sang. It were as though there was a gentle but bold passion in his voice that could be greatly expressed musically, so she chose to let him continue the song on his own for a bit.

Look how far you've come
You filled your heart with love
Baby you've done enough that cut your breath
Don't beat yourself up
Don't need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last but we did our best

I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
Though I'm on the lead
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
Till I reach the end
And then I'll start again
No I won't leave
I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail

I'll keep on making those new mistakes
I'll keep on making them every day
Those new mistakes

And with that, they both finished up the rest of the song together.

Oh oh oh oh ohh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh ohh
Try everything
Oh oh oh oh ohh

Try everything...

"Wow, that was really great, Gazelle," said Renton, now feeling emotionally better.

Impressed by his singing, she commented, "Mmm, I must say, you have a really great voice."

If he had cheeks like a human being, they would be blushing heavily in modesty. "Awww...thanks," he chuckled. "My mother suggested that I took up music lessons so that I may at least have something for a potential job to fill."

"What was your name, by the way? I didn't quite catch it earlier."

Realizing that he did not properly introduce himself earlier, he stammered, "R-Renton. Renton Whitetail, miss."

Smirking, she said, "Well, just remember this, Renton. If there's one thing I learned from someone--and that's Judy Hopps--it's that change starts with you. Change starts with me...change starts with all of us."

Awestruck by such powerful words, he smiled. "Wow, thanks, Gazelle. You really gave me something to think about."

"You're welcome, my friend. And hey, maybe you'll get to sing a duet in concert with me someday." Then she leaned in to lightly kiss him on the cheek. "So long, Renton." And with that, she put her coat, hat and sunglasses on.

Just as the superstar was about to leave, Renton suddenly remembered something. "Oh! Gazelle, wait!" Pulling out his wallet, he gave her a $5 bill. "It's for the latte I accidentally knocked out of your hand."

Gladly taking the bill, she said, "Thank you. You're very kind." Pulling down her sunglasses below her eyes, she gave a wink to him and then left.

Renton stood there for a long time, reflecting on what just happened between the two of them. Raising a hand to rub the cheek she kissed, he could not believe she would do something like that. "I'll never wash this cheek again. Ever." Remembering that he had an itinerary to fulfill for the day, he headed off toward the employment agency.

Along the way, he remembered the profiles of Terry and Dallas on TV and reflected on the strong words Gazelle had given to him. Change starts with you. Change starts with me, change starts with all of us, he thought to himself over and over. Then he reasoned that if he could use those words on the two teens, then maybe they won't have to resort to a lifetime of crime anymore. Getting an idea, he headed straight to the police department and asked Benjamin Clawhauser at the front desk for a pen and paper. Then he started to write a note. It said:

"Dear Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps,

My name is Renton Whitetail. You may recall meeting me that very night when your son Terry and his friend Dallas attempted to rob the apartment complex I live in and stole my wallet. I do not know of the whereabouts of the two at this very moment, but what I can tell you is that there may be a way to persuade them from pursuing a lifetime of crime just because they're different from everyone else. If you are in need of volunteers to help form a search party, I am willing to step in and help. You can contact me at anytime and we can make further arrangements then. I know that they can change and become more than they think they are. Believe me, I learned this from a very special friend. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely, Renton Whitetail

P.S. Here's my contact information."

At the bottom of the note were his phone number and email address.

After finishing the note, he handed the note to the overweight cheetah officer. "Here, give Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde this note. It's very important that they get it."

While biting into a doughnut, Benjamin took the note and gave a salute, "You can count on me, my good sir!"

With a nod to acknowledge his trust towards Ben, Renton gave his thanks and left the police station to head down to the employment agency.

[True Love's Kiss]

BIC: After the couple got changed back into their police cop uniforms, they quickly rush outside of their house, lock the door and got inside of Finnick's van. After being dropped off, Judy realize at the very last second that if they were going to get another ride around the city (or possibly outta town if necessary), they would need to called in the aid of their fennec fox friend again. "Oh shoot, I forgot our car is still at the shop!" The bunny suddenly reminded her husband after they got out of the van, since there was no way the two of them could be seen still driving around in a damage police car. "It's going to take some time to get fixed." She added, then turn her attention over to the other fox. "Finnick, could you give us a ride for a while until we get a call later about our car?" She asks him.

"Not a problem!" Finnick replied.

"Great! Thanks!" Judy was relief to hear Nick's old partner say that. Now that their first problem was taken care of, the fox and the bunny rushed quickly inside of the police department, that they weren't able to have enough time to go at the front desk to see that their friend Clawhauser had a note he needed to give them; a note that came from Renton Whitetail. Soon as they heard that the surveillance room was used from the night that Terry and Dallas were making their escape, that was the first thing they went to at. From there, they witness the evidence from the video; up until it ended where it show them entering the surveillance room. Judy replayed the security video again, trying to study it. "Hmmm....this pig is more clever than we thought." She said. Judy had no idea that the boar had the knowledge to know a thing or two about hacking into computer systems.

Francine knocked on the door, but opened it. "You have a letter!" The female elephant said to Nick and Judy, waving Renton's note with her trunk. "Clawhauser said you needed to see it. He claims it's important." She added.

But Judy was far too busy. "Nick, see who send us the note." She told him without taking her eyes off from the security screens. "Now where would they go?" The police bunny thought to herself. Without any solid proof, they would be right back to where they started from without any leads. However, she broke outta her thoughtful thinking when she heard the sound of her cell phone ringing. Hoping that it wasn't her parents Stu and Bonnie calling her again, Judy pulled out her cell phone from the her pocket and answered it fast without checking the I.D. "Officer Judy Hopps-Wilde from the Zootopia Police Department speaking, how can I help you?"

"Judy?" Spoken an elderly female vixen. "Oh dear goodness me, I meant to called Nick from his cell. How silly of me!" She chuckled sweetly. "Hello Judy! How are you dear?"

Judy's ears drop below and her face went pale. "OH NOES, IT'S THE MOTHER-IN-LAW!!" She worried deeply. "What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!? Okay Judy, don't panic! Everything is going to be a-okay. Just tell her the--NO! Don't tell her!!!" The bunny began to panic deep on the inside as her forehead was beginning to sweat like crazy.

"Judy?"

"HI MARY!!" Judy greeted out loud. It was a good thing she was lucky her mother-in-law wasn't contacting her face to face on her cell phone like her own folks would always do, otherwise she knew the old fox would be able to tell that she was up to something. "I'M DOING GREAT, NICK'S GREAT. WE'RE ALL GREAT!!!" She added with a fake big wide smile.

"Oh! Well, isn't that nice to hear? Are the three of you still on vacation? I haven't heard a word back in 12 months." Said Mary. Given how much she had missed hearing from her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, she knew she needed to call them right away.

"Uhh....." Judy gulped, sweating nervously more than ever. The last time she had heard from her mother-in-law, Judy knew that she couldn't let the poor old vixen know about her dearly beloved grandson had gone missing since it would had break her poor heart. And so, the only excuse the bunny cop had given to Mary last time she was contacted by her was that they would be outta town, knowing that would give the couple enough time to find the disappearance of their hybrid. But until then, since she knew she couldn't keep up the lies anymore, it was time to give the poor mother-in-law the bad news.

"Judy? Are you there?" Mary asks, still waiting for a response.
"Yeah I'm still here. Umm listen Mary; You're going to want to hear this, but you won't like it." Said Judy, since she knew she would prepare for the worst.

"What is it?" Mary asked her.

"I have bad news to tell you! We weren't on vacation a year ago because...." Judy paused a bit, carefully thinking up the words. "It would appear that your grandson Terry....is missing." She revealed.

Suddenly, as if someone had blasted a noise out loud right in her ears, Judy's sensitive ears rang from the sound of screaming loud cries of Mary's uncontrollable sobbing over through the phone; causing Judy to jump back and almost drop her cell phone right outta her paws, but luckily she caught it on time before it was seconds away from hitting the floor. "Mary! Mary, calm down! Don't cry, please! I--" Judy try to comfort her poorly heartbroken mother-in-law, but it would be entirely pointless over through the cell phone. She sighed as her way of giving it up quickly.

Judy decided on handing her cell phone over to her husband. "Nick, it's your mother!" She said to him.

OOC: Rich Moore, one of the directors of Zootopia, confirmed a month ago on Twitter that Nick's mother is very much still alive in Zootopia and is still living in the same apartment where she raised Nick at. He also mention in the same tweet that she's waiting for a grandkit too lol! But since he never gave out what her name is, I decided on naming her Mary. ^_^

[FaPingMulan]

OoC: Lol XD Sounds good to me

BIC: "Thanks Frannie." Nick commented to the female elephant officer taking the note to read it. When he heard his wife talking on the phone to his mother he immediately turned around dropping the letter he had been reading and waved his arms frantically in a 'Dont give the phone to me' method but his efforts failed miserably as his bunny wife did the exact opposite and handed him her cell regardless.

"Heh. Hi Mom." He greeted his mom with a fake grin. "There's no need to worry about Terry. Judy and I are looking for him as we speak and we'll find him in no time, okay?" He reassured her quickly. "In fact we just got a lead that we are on our way to check out now. Talk to you later, Mom, love ya, bye." He added even more quickly with a fake grin before hanging up the phone.

He loved his mother dearly, but had to admit that her caring nature tended to make her worry far too much and blow things way out of proportion and that was something he and Judy currently didn't need at the moment so he was more than willing to reassure her and get things back on track.

"Ready Partner?" He asked Judy handing her back her phone

[True Love's Kiss]

"Almost." Judy quickly replied after putting her cell phone away when she got it back from her husband. "First, I need to see the note." She added, and reach over for the fallen letter that her husband had dropped on the floor earlier. She pick it up and read it carefully. "Renton Whitetail? The deer from 5th South Avenue?" Of course the bunny had not forgotten the poor victim who had lost his wallet; no thanks to her son being the one who took it from him, but it did surprise her a bit that this buck with the brown patch on his left eye was more than willing to help the couple out to find their lost hybrid and of course the boar too as well.

"We could use all the help we can get." Says Judy, stroking her chin with her right paw, pondering on the idea. She re-check the letter again, noticing Renton's contact info he left at the bottom on the note such as his email address and phone number. Judy pulled out her cell phone once more and tapped in Renton's phone number down. When she had reach his voicemail, she left him a message;

"Hello? Mr. Whitetail? This is Judy Hopps Wilde from the Police Department. We received your note you send us, and we would be REALLY grateful if you can help join us on our search party to find our son and his..." She pause a bit for a couple of seconds, trying so hard deeply not to growl softly in annoyance by the mention of Dallas' name. "CRIME PARTNER!" She had to forced the last two words outta her mouth, by calling Dallas that since she didn't much view him as a real friend of Terry's. "Meet us at Genevieve's; it's located right here at the Savanna Central. I'll text you the address."

She added and then hung up. Afterword, she texted the address to Genevieve's just like she would promised, and also even added the directions on how to get there just in case Renton needed to find it. "Now I'm ready." Judy told Nick. "We're going to Gigi's!"

Soon as the couple had left the police department building, they meet up with Finnick again who was still inside of his van, relaxing in his seat, wearing his sunglasses and blasting away to his french rap music. The fennec fox put his music to pause once he had spotted the pair awaiting. "Where to?" He asks them after they got in. Since Finnick's van held only two passengers at the front, Judy had to share the same seat with Nick by sitting on her husband's lap.

"To Genevieve's." Judy replied to their friend.
Finnick lowered the shades he was wearing, giving the bunny a bewildered reaction. "The fashion building? Why there?" He had to asked, since that didn't sound like the type a place two cops would go attending to next.
"Just go Finnick." Judy told him, since there was no need to give out excuses why. The bunny cop had purposely chosen to meet up a surprise visit to Gigi, a french poodle who worked as a fashion designer Judy and Nick had met 2 years ago when they had saved her place from being robbed by criminals. And since the bunny believed that the fennec fox could use a lovely lady in his life, what better choice would there be than a french poodle like Gigi? Obviously, the bunny herself would never be able to go and tell Finnick that, but Judy had always did believed that everyone deserved a special somebody in their life.

While he was focusing on the road, Finnick couldn't help but overheard Judy humming to herself. Even though he was still wearing his sunglasses, it was pretty easily to tell that he was rolling his eyes at her, and just went on to completely ignoring the bunny.

"So Finnick..." Judy began after she done humming. "Have you ever--ohh I don't know--thought maybe, just maybe that...well now that Nick is busy with the life he has with me and all, you could...you know!"

"Hmm what?" Finnick asks, not picking up the hint at first.
"Ohh I think you know what I mean." Judy chuckles, smiling. "What's the best thing to look for in a new partner? Smarts? A good sense of humor? Someone you can hold hands with--maybe like on a date?" She grins.
Finnick's eyes widen now that he had finally gotten the idea of what Judy was trying to hint at, causing for the fennec fox to hit the breaks real hard. Thankfully the couple had their seatbelt on, which save the bunny from the cause of falling forward. "AAH! Finnick what the--" Judy huffed, but her words were cut off shortly once Finnick took his sunglasses off and glared at the bunny.

"Let's get one thing straight here fuzzy; I DON'T NEED A GIRLFRIEND ALRIGHT?" He yelled at Judy angrily. "This fennec fox flies solo. END OF STORY! Got it?"

"Finnick come on, don't be like that!" Judy told him, showing how annoyed she was at him that Finnick would be pissed off at her just for trying to be helpful. He had no right to do so like that. "Aren't you tired of being on your own since Nick joined the ZPD? Don't you want to settle down with someone? To be happy with and have a family of your own like we did?" She asks Finnick, while setting her paw on top of Nick's paw, looking up to her husband smiling sweetly at him.

"Ugh!" Finnick look away in disgust but his ears drooped down sadly, nearly feeling guilty sick to his stomach. For being a bit more older than Nick, Finnick did used to believe that he would be the one to one day find the right animal to wanna spend the rest of his life with, but alas it never came to be. Seeing Nick as a husband and a father was always a sad painful reminder of something Finnick would never have of his own, and so avoiding it would seem like the best way to go.

"Finnick?" Judy awaited to get another word in from the fennec fox, but got nothing. She felt almost bad for receiving the silent treatment from him. "I-I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--"

"Save the pity excuses!" Finnick told her off. "I don't want your sappy apology and I don't need it! Anyways, we're here!" He pointed out, already they had reach their destination. Noticing they had arrived, they got out of the van and were about to enter inside, but Judy still felt very guilt-ridden about what she had done in getting Finnick upset, so she decided she was gonna make it up to him. "You coming?" She asks, looking back.

"Nah, you kids go on ahead, I'll wait!" Finnick turned down her offer and put his sunglasses back on.
"Are you sure? They have free appetizers!" Judy stated with a grin.
Finnick look back at the bunny, lowering his shades down. "Free? Did you say free? And free booze?"
"Well only the shots are free, but--" Judy try to explain, but wasn't able to once Finnick got outta his van too. "I'm in!" Finnick grinned.

"Well that was fast." Judy mumbled with a bit of a small smile. So the bunny and the two foxes headed inside of the building, where they went to go see the receptionist at the front desk who happened to be a female llama. "Officer Mr. and Mrs. Wilde from the ZPD. We're here to see Ms. Genevieve. Is she in?" Judy asks.

"Yes, down the hallway to the right; You're going to need to the take the elevator. She's at the 12th floor." The llama explained, pointing to where she was located to.

"Great, thank you!" Judy thanked her and followed the instructions. "Oh and if you see a deer by the name of Renton Whitetail, tell him that we've arrive. Okay?" She added, informing the llama right away.

And so, by taking the elevator while waiting to reach the upper floor, Judy began on starting with small talk with Finnick. "So Finnick, I bet you're wondering how we know about Miss Genevieve, or as she likes to be sometimes called, Gigi."
"Nah, not really!" Finnick shrugged, he was more interested in getting to the free snacks and mini drinks.

But Judy decided on telling him anyways. "Well, it all started just a year before Terry was attending high school for the first time. We heard about a serious case of robbers breaking into Gigi's building to steal all of her new fall line outs of clothing, so we rushed right into the rescue and save the day. And also made a new friend too!" Judy explained, with a bit of giggle at the end of her tale. "Gigi is a really sweet lady and I think you're going to like her Finnick!" Judy grinned, giving the fennec fox a bit of a playful poking nudge to his arm with her elbow.

They had reach the room where they were at; there was a group of animals watching a fashion line show of each model presenting the newest fashion line of clothes down the aisle. And there at the very front watching all of this was Gigi; a french poodle about the same size as Finnick with olive green eyes, white fluffy fur, wore a light pink dress, a black coat, a golden bracelet on her left wrist, and a anklet on her right ankle.

Finnick was the first to take notice of the beautiful lovely looking poodle. "Who is that? He thought, peeking through his shades, checking Gigi out. She's smokin' hot!" She appeared to look kinda a bit young for her age, but Finnick could care less. But if he were able to guess, the dog seem to be somewhat in her late 30s or possibly maybe early 40s.
"Hello?" Judy called out loud. Everything all stop at once and the guests attending Gigi's fashion show were all starting to panick, believing that something bad was happening soon as they saw the cops showing up, but Gigi got out of her seat calming down her audience, informing them that it was okay. Instantly, the french poodle had recognize the two cops. "Ah! Judith, Nicholas, bonjour!" Gigi greeted her two cop friends with a bit of air kiss.

"Hello Gigi! It's wonderful to see you again too!" Judy greeted in returned.
"She's french?!" Finnick thought surprisingly shock by the poodle's accent. "WOO-HOO! I hit the jackpot!"
"Gigi, we're so sorry to bother you at work. I hope you don't mind that we're meeting someone here." Judy began for starters.
But Gigi didn't mind at all. "Oh no no no, not at all! Please, have a seat, make yourself comfortable." She added, offering the couple of seat without noticing Finnick at the back behind them.
"We love do, but we can't stay for very much long." Judy had to explained. "I was wondering..." She was saying as she pulled out her cell phone from her pocket and began searching up any recent pics of her son, so she can show them to her friend. "Any chance you have spotted a hybrid around somewhere in this city?"

"I have not, no!" Gigi replied, shaking her head no. "I have not seen any, how do you say it? Ehh...high birds?" She said, trying to break the last word into english.
"Hybrids Gigi, it's called a hybrid." Judy corrected the french poodle politely, and show her a picture of Terry on her cell phone. "This is our son Terry. He went missing a year ago, only to be found again, and then disappear off again recently."

Gigi gently took the cell phone out of Judy's paws to get another better look at the photo of Terry. "Awww, he is delightful!" She squealed, finding Terry to be the most cutest kit she had ever seen before. "I have not seen an animal like this before, but he is, as we say in french, precieux! (precious)"

"Awww thank you!" Judy thanked the dog for the nice compliment after getting her phone back from her. The bunny found that to be the most sweetest thing any animal has ever said about her son, even in a different language. It was then at the last second, Gigi was finally able to spot Finnick in the back, who was taking a shot of tequila to drink. "Ehhh, who is that?" Gigi asks, pointing a finger behind them towards Finnick.

Judy turned around a bit to see that it was Finnick her friend was spotting. "Oh him! He's just an old friend of Nick's. They go way back, right Nick?" She elbowed her husband, giving a bit of a wink. "Hey Finnick, come over here!" She called to the fennec fox. Gigi was unsure of what to think of this fennec fox, but it wasn't so often she would meet other animals around her same height.

Soon as he did present himself, Judy gave them the introductions. "Gigi, this is Finnick. Finnick, I'd like you to meet Gigi."
"Well hello there hot biscuits!!!" Finnick began by flirting with the poodle big time. "Lemmie just say, you are lookin' FINE! WOOF, WOOF!!"

Gigi gasped in horror, offended by the last commenting words coming outta Finnick's mouth, that she slapped him hard across the face. "Ugh! HOW DARE YOU! Why I have never--hmph!" Glaring at the fennec fox, she walked away from him with her head held up high elegantly like a real lady.

But Judy on the other hand, was pretty shocked by Finnick's inappropriate behavior by that intro. "Finnick, what were you thinking!? You can't just bark at another dog. It's offensive and racist to them!" She cried. And what the bunny said was true; much just like with Judy, she always found it very racist when another animal does something only the other same species can do.

"NOW YOU TELL ME?!?!"! Finnick shouted angrily, rubbing his sore cheek where he got slapped at.

After having a good meeting with an agent at the employment agency, a sense of confidence came over the young buck. With faithful trust in the agency, he believed that he may find a job in Zootopia after all in which he could leave a major mark to the city and be long remembered by everyone for it.

It wasn't long after he had finished with his meeting that he headed outside and looked at his smartphone for recent notifications. A voice message popped up in his voicemail in addition to a text message from Judy Hopps. It was good that his note to the bunny and fox officers got through to them, though he couldn't help but wonder why the gathering place Judy planned out was located at a place called Genevieve's. He at least had trust in her and knew what she was doing, so he went along with the plan and headed on over to the place with the directions given in the text.

Upon arrival, he asked the llama hostess in inquiring that he was looking for the two kind officers and headed upstairs with the directions she gave him. When he entered the room where a fashion show was being held, he poked his head in and looked around, hoping to spot the bunny and fox. "Hello? Judy Hopps? Nick Wilde? Are you both here?" Given how much smaller the two officers were, it wasn't immediate for him to look down and scan the room for them. Finally, he spotted the two, not expecting another friend to be with them. "Oh, there you two are," he smiled upon approaching them. "It's a pleasure to see you again." Not having ever met Finnick before, Renton had no idea what kind of demeanor the small fennec fox would have, so he politely waved to him and said, "Hey, there...little dude."

[FaPingMulan]

Nick couldn't help but snicker a little at his old crime partner completely striking out with Gigi. It took all his effort not to laugh at the fennec fox's failure. "Nice one Finnick." He teased lightly before noticing Renton approach them.

"Hey Whitetail, this is my old partner, Finnick." He introduced the two of them quickly. "Best not to call him little dude by the way." He whispered in the deer's ear.

[True Love's Kiss]

Finnick gave Nick a mean dirty look soon as he overheard him snickering at him; giving the fox the type of warning look to which if Nick's laugh was heard out loud, Finnick would most likely kick his old partner's butt for it. While the couple was pleased to see Renton show up, Finnick on the other paw, didn't take the deer's comment too well. "WHAT?!? WHAT HE SAY ABOUT ME?!?" He cried out loud. "You called me little dude one more time, and I'll bite your face off!" Finnick growled softly at Renton.

"Finnick don't be rude!" Judy began to scolded the pissed off fennec fox. "Mr. Whitetail is here to help us find Terry." She briefly explained.

"For reals?!" Finnick asks, blinking by surprise. "The boar too?" He added, noticing that the bunny cop left out Dallas' name too. It took all of her will power for Judy to keep her annoyed frustration under control by the common reminder of Dallas. "Yes Finnick, the boar too!" She responded quite irritated.

"Meh!" Finnick rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders, giving the deer a bit of a short and quick greeting to him. "Sup buck?" The fennec fox figure that if Renton was there to help the couple find their missing son, including the boar, surely it sounded like they were trying to gather up a search party before their mission can continued. "Hey yo Judes!" Finnick turned his attention over to the bunny. "How many more of them are coming?" He had to ask her.

"More? Oh you mean....uhh...." Judy awkwardly had no idea how to answer the fennec fox's question. Renton was the first and only one to help them out and by volunteering at that of it too. "Yeeeah, about that... see I didn't, I mean we didn't...umm--" Knowing deeply well of how every citizen in Zootopia had felt about the interspecies couple and their hybrid son, there was no possible way of anyone else interested in joining along.

"Hey say no more fuzzy, I'll tag along!" Finnick offered by joining in as well.
"You mean it?!" Says Judy, showing her surprise reaction as her ears perked up highly.

"Eh why not?" Finnick shrugged his shoulders again. "I ain't got no plans for the day; got nothing better to do." Though he would never admitted it, he could actually used the company right about now. And if he could choose just about anyone in Zootopia, it would be his friends Nick and Judy. "Aside from it, I do miss the little stinker." He added, referring on that last comment about Terry. Finnick knew that Terry was a good kid, and he would hate to see his friends continued suffering more on the loss of their absent son in case the hybrid wasn't coming back. No couple in the world should have that kind of grief for very long, especially not Nick and Judy.

"Finnick, what did I tell you about calling my son a stinker?" Judy reminded him by giving the fennec fox a bit of a small glare, not taking too kindly about that lousy nickname Finnick had just brought up about her son.

"It doesn't mean that he--arrugh! You ridiculous bunnies and your overly sensitive sourpuss attitudes!" Finnick remarked in a highly bad-tempered kind of way towards the bunny officer. Judy could easily tell right away that Finnick was still upset over how his meeting with Gigi had went, and by continuing to argue with him will not let things run so smoothly, so she wasn't going to let him get to her that way.

"Finnick, why don't you just calm down for one second, have some appetizers and relax for a bit okay?" Judy suggested to Finnick calmly and kindly. "Me and Nick need to have a talk with Mr. Whitetail, if you don't mind!"

"Pfft, whatever!" Finnick scoffed, and headed on over towards some of the waiters, who were still serving the small foods to the guests. Judy sighed after the fennec fox had left. "I'm really sorry about that." Judy began by apologizing to Renton after what he had just saw and heard between the two of them. "You'll have to please excuse our friend; Finnick's currently in a bit of a bad mood right now, because well, let's just say from one pal to another, and I was only trying to help him out, thought maybe he could meet a special someone, and well...let's just say, it did NOT end up well for him, so you'd understand right?"

On upon to changing the subject, it was best for the fox, bunny and the deer to discuss their next new topic; "Anywho, the four of us should be enough of a group to find those two boys. But moving on, I'm really glad you were able to come and help us out at this time of need, but I gotta admit to you, I wasn't expecting we would ever hear from you again after what happened that night." Judy commented to Renton. "So what made you interested? Was it that special friend of yours you mention in your letter who convinced you otherwise?"

Initially not understanding why at first, Renton took a good look at Finnick again. It then suddenly dawned on him that perhaps using the word "little" on a fennec fox like Finnick was probably offensive to him, so he understood his mistake. "Oooh! I see," he nodded with a whisper. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize." Then he addressed toward Finnick by saying, "My apologies."

"So what made you interested? Was it that special friend of yours you mention in your letter who convinced you otherwise?"

"Partially, yes," he explained. "But really, it was from that incident at my apartment complex where the term 'freak' came about from Terry and Dallas. You see...I was once like Terry when I was younger. Some of the other kids actually called me a freak because of my birthmark." Pointing to his left eye to show the others what he meant, he continued. "And not only that, they sometimes made fun of me for it and pretended to refer to me as a cross between a deer and a dog; a hybrid, if you will." He then lightly placed a hand over his heart to express the emotional pain he felt as a fawn. "It hurt, so I can completely understand how Terry must feel. But I learned how to overcome that later in life by putting up with the teasing. If I could help convince him that he shouldn't let the negative perceptions of others get to him for what he looks like on the outside, then perhaps things may greatly change for him on the inside. I know that he and Dallas have the ability to become more than they think they are, and that is if we work together. By doing that, they can change for the better."

Kneeling down to be at Judy and Nick's eye levels and placing both hands on their shoulders as an encouraging gesture, he asked, "So, what do you say? Are we ready to go find your son and his boar friend?"

[FaPingMulan]

Nick was actually somewhat surprised that his old partner, Finnick, had decided to tag along with them. Since Nick had become a cop, Finnick and he hadn't always been on the best of terms from time to time but he was still pleased to see him tagging along with them. Perhaps one day Finnick too would turn away from the criminal life.

"Welcome aboard buddy." He told his friend with a grin.

He tuned out a little bit from Judy and Renton's conversation up until near the end of it when Judy had asked the white tailed deer why he had wanted to help them and nodded, understanding a little bit where the deer's point came from.

"Let's grab a bite to eat and we'll be on our way."
