Liberty Time part 3

Comuter shuttle train
Paddy Beach to Edwardian Cove
11pm 21 August 2040
      Darla looked out the window at the passing scenery and flopped her tail on Jackson’s lap...”It’s just so open.” She said smiling. “You don’t see many lights outside the cities.”
      “Because most of the main island is a mountain.” Jackson replied as he grabbed Darla’s flopping otter tail and held it. “You’re still excited?”
       “From all that?” She replied. “A little...I’m more excited for what’s coming.” Darla turned from the widow and wrapped her arms around Jackson’s shoulders. “Two whole days with just you. You are going to love Seal Island.” She said softly as she played with Jackson’s red head tuft...”I just don’t know what to do first?”
        Jackson put a paw finger up. “First? No swimming to our room. Second? Sleep, sleep, sleep….”

        Darla gave Jackson a little snort. “You’re going to swim to our room. Give me some time to play a little “Otter-otica” with you. Jackie? You’ve fallen off logs into a pool?”
        “I knew there was a bottom I could stand on?” Jackson replied. “Two things about being part bunny and part fox? Both do not like deep water. Yeah, I know foxes can swim but if they don’t have too? They won’t. My dad couldn’t do anything deeper than a kiddie pool.”
         “They have SCUBA gear available at the hotel, even full breathing helmets for wimps.” Darla snickered.
        Jackson grabbed her wrists and pinned her down on the seat!….”Who’s a wimp? You know this train car is a little empty?”
       Darla smiled back….”Ravage me you sexy Floppybox?” She said as she wrapped her legs around Jackson’s waist.
      “Ok…..” Jackson said waving a paw...”Floppybox doesn’t really connect. How about? Floxxy?”
      Darla chewed on a paw finger….”Floxxy? Nah….gay.”
      “Hmm….” Jackson thought….”How bout….Floxtacullar?”
      “Jack-taculous.” Darla said as she rubbed her paws over Jackson’s chest. “My boyfriend / fiance is so “Jack-taculous”
       Jackson smirked back...”That sounds perverted.”
       They giggled at each other for a moment then Jackson dove his snoot under Darla’s chin and nibbled on her neck…
       “I just want to kiss, snuggle and go crazy with you every minute.” He said softly. “Your Dad is going to chase me down with a shotgun.”
       “Forget my father?” Darla snickered. “I want you to chase me! How about this? You have to chase me for a prize like I had to chase that Salmon. You fail to do it and you don’t get any tail for the whole two days. You gain?”
       Jackson snorted. “Everything with us is a competition.”

       “It’ll make things interesting.” Darla replied. “You in a wet suit, fins and a helmet against me with…...nothing...of course you’ll get the “window shop” opportunities but if you can’t catch me? You don’t eat.” Darla sat up and crossed her arms...”So are you gain there sport?”
        Jackson smiled in reply. “You do realize that I am a fast learner?”
        “Bah! Your chances of even catching me are ridiculous?” Darla said as she threw a paw at Jackson. “I can out turn and out twist you.”
        “You didn’t define the terms of the contest?” Jackson said smiling. “Since you have such an unfair advantage on me being a water dweller? I deserve a fair handicap don’t I?
        Darla snickered as she felt the train slow down...”Our stop’s coming up. What’s your handicap there sport?”
       “I have to get both my paws on your tail and stroke over it from the root to the tip once.” Jackson said wiggling his paw fingers. “No partials, no touches, water only.”
      Darla got up from the seat and stood tapping her foot...”Hmmm….ok? I’ll give you that. You have to rub my whole tail or no joy. I accept! But….in the water only!”
      Jackson put out his paw...”Shake on it girl.” He said smiling.
      Darla shook Jackson’s paw and giggled...”Better get some lotion on our way there sport? Your paws are going to get chaffed.”
      “Very funny.” Jackson replied as he wrapped his arm around Darla’s shoulders. “I almost forgot Dar? We’ve only got these clothes?”
       “And that stops the show how?” Darla snickered. “Extra incentive since where we’re going is clothing optional. And we “are” going to swim for our hotel room, no exceptions.” Darla said as she and Jackson walked from the train and checked their smart phones for the ferry to Seal Island…
       “Should just make the midnight run.” Jackson said. “A quick selfie for my parents.” Jackson held his cell phone away from him and snapped a quick picture of him and Darla. “My mother said my father talked about speeding things up with the house and their moving to Aiden and asked me if I had any objections...”
       “Say no.” Darla said as she pointed to the ferry. “Let them do what they want Jackie? They smothered you long enough, let em have their lives together.”
        “I texted her back saying she and Dad could do what pleased them the most. But my mother still wants to wait so I can have a night or two with them in the house before they sell it. I think they hope I regress back to a baby so they can cuddle me again.” Jackson replied.
         “Show up when we get back in a diaper and sucking a pacifier.” Darla giggled. “That will make them speed things up. “We need to get away from our crazy son!”
          “Knowing Mom...” Jackson sighed...”She’ll start crying from memory shock and then I’ll have to put her back together. Difficult enough she’s facing retirement from the police force.”
          “What do you think she’ll do when Scar shows up at her office?” Darla asked as they boarded the small ferry boat to Seal Island.
          “She won’t know unless Scar tries to open his trap and make a connection.  If I know Don Lanzoni? He’s already impressed on Scar not to be too blabby.” Jackson tickled his paw fingers under Darla’s chin...”You were absolutely awesome.”
       “Just hope that Hyena didn’t have mange or something.” Darla replied. “I know I drew blood snapping down on his tail.”
        “If you want? You could go to medical when we get back to the boat and just ask for a test? I’ll cover and say we came to aid of a hyena who got clubbed with a bottle outside a bar.” Jackson said as the ferry left the docks and headed out over the water towards Seal Island.
       “Jackie?” Darla asked as she turned on her side in the boat seat...”You don’t have anything like a job in the Polar Bear mafia do you? The Ensign seemed very concerned about it.”
        “No...I don’t.” Jackson replied. “Old Mister Big was my Godfather thanks to my Dad. My mother was Godmother to old Big’s Grand-daughter and she spent a lot of time teaching Judy Lanzoni things like history, law, etiquette. My Godfather taught me how to treat females properly, how to be resourceful, confident, successful...not all mobsters are a hundred percent creeps. I owe the Lanzoni shrews a lot. They took care of my mother when she was pregnant, they watched over my life, I am indebted to them.”
      Darla nodded...”And if they happened to “call in a favor” from you?”

      “Dar? All that “Godshrew” stuff by Francis Ford Camel is movie stuff. Mister Big was explicit, I am just considered a family member. I’m not a “cappy”,a “Leuty” or an enforcer. I can’t be pulled into the family business. If they called in a favor? It would have to be legal like perhaps planning a family event, arranging a dinner date or baby sitting. Don’t worry over it?”
     Darla smiled...”I’m not. I just think it might be exciting to be the wife of say a mafia consignee? You’d make a great mob legal-beagle.”
      Jackson chuckled...”Looking to pan off the gold stream there Dar?”
     Darla snatched Jackson by his shoulders and dropped him on her lap...”Girls should not be afraid of having ambitions...” She said as she played with Jackson’s ears...”Especially when they plan to marry someone like you...”
     “Better watch out Darla?” Jackson said smiling. “My fox side has an overwhelming urge to get in your panties and screw your ambitions?”
    “Is that so?” Darla snickered as the ferry came to a stop by the reception dock to Seal Island. “Another competition to see what wins out? My gold panning or your magic paws?”
     Jackson took Darla’s paw as he led her off the ferry...”Wow….almost 2am? We’re going to sleep half the first day away.”
      “Just remember?” Darla giggled. “You have to touch my whole tail to get any tail...or you’ll be sleeping in a separate bed.”
       “That’s not part of the competition!” Jackson yelped.
       “Consider it double incentive to try twice as hard?” Darla replied as she giggled and ran for the reception desk.
Little Sugar Sweets all night cafe
Paddy Beach 
Midnight 22 August 2040
     “Would you believe that this is the longest I’ve ever stayed up in my life so far?” Rudy Dolf said to Clarissa as he enjoyed a suet and apple cake with a cup of coffee. “Sorry if I’m not a party hound?”
       “I’m not sorry.” Clarissa replied. “I was forced into partying all night almost every night I’ve been here.”
       “I’m almost afraid to ask anything personal that might cause you to run away.” Rudy said as he rested his head on top of his folded hands...”Was it? Was it Scar who raped you?”
        Clarissa shook her head.” Scar only beat me up and clamped his claws into my calves...the tail wipe who did it was a water buffalo named Clodius. He was Scar’s enforcer here till about...a week ago.”
        “What happened?” Rudy asked.
         “He was fortunately careless with his drinking.” She said as she moved a hoof finger over her lips...”Fell asleep and didn’t wake up because he had scrambled egg for brains.”
          Rudy sighed…”You killed him didn’t you?”
          “Screwdrivers calibrate brains quick.” She replied. “I lured him to a secluded spot by a cliff, allowed him to hump me, spiked his beer and...” Clarissa moved a hoof finger over her neck. “ and rolled his butt off a cliff.”
          Clarissa looked silently at Rudy...”Do you blame me?”
          “No...” Rudy replied. “Not in the least. That flucken bastard.”
          Clarissa sighed deeply...”So...how much can you take me telling you about my life?”
          Rudy sat back in his chair patting his hoof hands on the table...”Compared to you? My problems pale pretty weak. But don’t think I would ever consider you less than a beautiful female gazelle.”
          Clarrisa wiped an eye...”Thank you for that.” She said softly and for a moment she sat still and quiet…
          “After Scar and Clodius raped me...”Clarissa said with a tear soaked sigh. “They took me to an underground doctor on one of the islands? And had him remove my uterus so I coudn’t get pregnant being their money bitch.” Clarissa looked at the floor...”I can never have a child. They robbed me of my whole life and the unbearable part of it is that I made the mistake that got me into this.”
      Rudy slowly rubbed one of Clarissa’s hoof hands. “It was something you didn’t expect here. Yet? Evil can be anywhere, even in a paradise. But you’re still alive and while you’re alive and breathing? The fight’s not over...nor should you give in to those bastards. Your story isn’t over and done while you still walk and breath.”
    Rudy pulled up his shirt sleeve to show off a long hairless scar on his upper arm. “See this? Attempted suicide by wild bear. Yours truly was done with his stupid nose so I wanted a wild bear to chase me down and rip me to shreds. Talk about crazy ways to end your life huh? And I thought Lemmings cornered the market in insanity.”
     “You hated yourself that much?” Clarrisa asked.
     “When I was a fawn, my life was hell. Reindeer can’t tolerate what they see as “an imperfection”...my nose of course was about as crazy an “imperfection” as you get. I was bullied all the time in primary and secondary school, they had to keep me out of “fiz ed” because every game evolved into “smear the flashlight deer”. My Dad’s attempt to hide it made things worse for me so one day I walked into the big woods, stripped naked and hoped some wild bear or wolf would get it over with.”
      Clarrisa rubbed the scar with her hoof hand...”How did you survive not getting mauled?”
       “You’ll probably think I’m crazy?” Rudy replied.
        “I’m open minded, trust me?” Clarrisa replied. “What happened?”
        “Well…The bear chased me down and you know you have these second thoughts about wanting to die? Well I had that second thought and I was screaming for help and that big bear tackled me and…..that was it, I was gonna die...”
        “And then there was a light, a bright light and the bear vanished and I mean it went “poof”...”
        Clarrisa scratched her head...”Are you an alien abductee?”
        “Really Clara?” Rudy replied with a smirk.
         “Well it’s sounding like an abduction? Just saying” She said curiously.

        “No….last time I checked my tail hole was still tight.” Rudy replied almost laughing. I really don’t know what it was...my fear? All the Adrenalin that surged through me when I was getting chased, I don’t know...I can’t even clearly describe what it looked like but it was female….the voice was obviously female...it told me not to give up, that my nose had a purpose, that everything would come to good eventually or something like that…. And then…..gone. That’s when I decided I would bust my rump to get beyond the negative attraction my nose was causing me ...though I don’t really know how all of this fits in with my “designated purpose” according to the “Sky gawdess, snow gawdess, deer gawdess or whatever it was.,,,certainly it was nothing mammal I ever saw before.”
        Rudy looked at Clarissa as she sat with a quizzical face….”Told you it sounds crazy.”
      “Not at all.” Clarissa replied. “A little on the bizarre side but not crazy.”
       Clarissa took Rudy by a hoof hand...”Come on….are you tired or can you still go clubbing?”
       “Well….” Rudy replied thinking. “I guess I’m all excitement empty in the tank.”
      “Good answer...” Clarissa said as she touched Rudy’s nose. “Want to get a hotel room?”
       “Only if you let me pay for it?” Rudy said with a soft smile.
The Chedder Plate Hotel
Mini Sai Sai plaza
Paddy Beach
Midnight 22 August 2040
     Albert struggled a little bit against the paws tugging at his shirt and sat with his eye glasses cocked to one side at a table with Myler already sitting naked on the other side…
     “Al?” Myler asked. “Is it me or did we pick up a seriously crazy one?”
     Albert answered. “I think the correct term my dear “My My” is nympho-maniac.”

     Tanya giggled between both of them as she leaned on the table...”Oh come on you guys. You’re so cute, I couldn’t resist the urge. After all...you two sound really smart and you’re definitely going places and I want to….you know...come along for the ride? After all….there’s no law against a girl having two boyfriends is there?”
     “Actually?” Albert said. “Morally speaking? This could end rather badly.”
     “Or….”Myler replied. “Rather sticky.”
     Tanya closed in on Albert and removed his glasses...”These are too big for your eyes...don’t you think?”
     “I always thought big eye glasses added to my distinction.” Albert replied. He then felt Tanya’s lips glide over his mouth and her soft tongue slip through his lips….
      “Mmmm….and what does this add?” Se asked as she ministered his mouth and rubbed a paw over his growing hardness…
      “Give me a second to analyze it?” Albert replied, which made Myler almost fall of his chair!
      “OH MY GAWD!” (laughter) Albert that was the most (laughter) She’s rubbing your junk and you still act like Mister Stork on Star Tails?!
      “I’m new to this experience…..shut up.” Albert snorted. 
      Tanya then moved over to Myler and snickered...” You heard him….shut up.” She commanded as she bent down and kissed Myler slowly...her paw moving down to stroke his hardness with a paw finger slowly massaging his tail hole….
      “Oh…..snit….” Myler sighed as Tanya moved her lips to his neck to lightly chew on it…
      “How you doing there “My MY”?” Albert asked…
      “How am I supposed to be doing?!” Myler said between moans..”Uh….fluck!”
      Tanya stood up and looked at both male mice with desire in her eyes...”Both of you are some healthy mice...that’s for sure.”
       Myler caught his breath...”Albert there is part Brama bull. I mean you ever think an egg head like him would be so nicely endowed?”

        Tanya gave Albert a smirky look. “Mmmm...yeah….I want to suck every drop of juice from it.”
         Albert replied. “The amount you might get from me at any one time of ejaculation….”
         “Dude?! Seriously?!” Myler yelped. “She’s offering to give you a blow job and you’re going to science the hell out of it?”
          “Perhaps there are things about oral copulation that even you dear “My My” would like to know to enhance your experience?” Albert said coolly.
          Tanya went to the hotel fridge, took out two beers and set them on the table. “Ok? Let’s play a little game called…..smiles.”
         Albert looked at Myler. “I think I know what this is going to involve?”
         “Then let her explain it mister Wizard?” Myler replied.
      Tanya played a paw over both male’s faces as she spoke...”Now...you two just talk to each other about anything...work, family, your future, anything that (giggles) “cums” to mind. You have to remain as calm and strait faced as you can. I’ll be under the table and….you can guess what I’ll do under there. The first one to react to getting his prick sucked will owe the other twenty zoo bucks. If the opposite one fails? He’ll owe the other one fourty zoo bucks. If one of you cums in my mouth? I get a hundred Zoo bucks.”
          Myler snorted….”I’m gain. I’d like to see “super cherry” here try to keep a strait face.”
          “We’ll see who keeps strait….won’t we “My My”?” Albert snorted. And Tanya? Our tail holes are open season.” Albert said as he adjusted himself in his chair so his prick and tail hole would be available. “Good luck My My...I can already see two hundred Zoo bucks in my pocket before this is over.”
        Myler positioned himself too...”Don’t be to….”cocky”…...Albert. You don’t know if I’m really a virgin or not. I know you’re not.”

Arrival docks
Seal Island Resort
2:30am 22 August 2040
        With no shame out in the open, Darla removed her clothes and her bra and panties and dropped them into a sealed plastic bag as Jackson sat looking at the dark silhouette of the crown heights of Seal Island bathed in light blue from the moon light…
       “Come on? Get undressed?” Darla begged as she snuggled her boyfriends back. “Everything is going on below the island...” She said as she pulled Jackson’s pants down and played her paws over his underwear...”I want to get freaky.” She snickered...”Oops! I forgot! You’re going to be doing a lot of paw’ing off for the next three days….you poor thing. You? Can keep your underwear on.”
       Jackson snorted...”You’re a mean little bitch.”
       “Otter….Jackson…..” Darla snarled. “Otter bitch. Get your mammal identification right?” She walked over to a table where all the SCUBA gear rentals were and came back with some tanks and swimming gear. As an after thought? She swiped out with her claws and tore Jackson’s underwear off!
       “Hey!” Jackson yelped. “That was my only pair Dar!”
       “Oh like you’re going to be wearing anything for the next two days. You should concentrate on getting your mits on my tail Jackie.” Darla said smiling as she held up a pair of SCUBA tanks. “Let me help get this on you.”
       Jackie held his arms out stretched as Darla strapped the tanks on...”So...I can breath normally with this helmet on?” He asked.
      “Well...if you’d rather make it difficult? We can switch to a traditional mouthpiece?” Darla replied. Looking around, she rubbed a paw against Jackson’s soft behind….”You have such a cute butt?” She whispered.
       “Thought you said I had to work for your affections?” Jackson snickered.
       Darla began to push him backwards….”Now? Don’t forget to breath...and don’t worry….there’s no sharks around here….bye!”
       With a good push, Darla sent Jackson off the pier and into the ocean! “OH SNIT!” The fox-bunny hybrid yelped as he back flopped into the water and began to sink like a rock!

        “YIPE!” Jackson started to flap his arms and kick his feet like crazy until he settled down into a slow rhythm with his rubber flippers gently holding him in place. He then realized that the moment he hit the water, everything around him lit up in bright lights and colors. He soon forgot his worries about how deep the water might have been as the ocean floor appeared covered in multi-rainbow pastel-like hues of blues, purples, greens, oranges and reds.
         A tap on the glass fish-bowl helmet got his attention and he watched as Darla swam around him like a snake and floated upside down with him face to face…
        “Isn’t this wonderful?” She asked.
        “It’s gorgeous!” Jackson replied. “Especially the wild life.”
        Darla kissed the helmet and swam around to float a few feet away from Jackson with her legs spread out and her paws slowly rubbing over her breast...”Is this “wild” enough for you?”
       Jackson flexed his paws fingers and snickered as he started to swim towards his fiance….”Get over here and let’s see...but I’d rather get in bed?”
       Darla floated closer with her tail stuck out...”All you have to do is rub my tail Jackie? If you can pay attention and stop looking at everything else?” She snickered. She let Jackson barely touch the tip of her tail and she was off like lightening! Swimming fast for the sea floor and then upwards like a rocket...Darla caught Jackson’s flippers and sent him into a wild somersault as she flew by!
       “SNIT!” Jackson yelped as he rolled end over end till he stopped and held his head by the helmet….
        “Oh the terrible disadvantages of being deprived of a water body huh Jackie?” Darla’s voice sounded as Jackson shook his head to stop the world from spinning...he then looked down to see darla licking the tip of his penis…
        “DAR!” Jackson gasped! “We’re out in the open!”
        “As if that ever stopped us?” Darla replied as she again snaked around her love and backed away when he tried to grab her tail again...”Uh uh….I can touch you but you have to work to touch me.” She warned with a wagging paw finger.
       “Grrrrr…..you crazy otter!” Jackson snarled as he started to kick his legs and chase her through the water! “How you forget that rabbits have good legs!” He yelped as he chased Darla towards the sea floor…

        “Don’t get too crazy Jackie!” Darla yelped as she turned around to swim backwards. “We have to keep an eye on your air supply!”
         “Is it my air or my prick you’re looking at girl?!” Jackson snickered as he gestured at his hard on...”And my air’s fine for now...I have forty five minutes worth!
         “That depends on how hard you swim!” Darla replied with a gesturing paw finger….”You want me? You better chase me mister tent pole!”
         They were off again with Darla definitely teasing her love as she allowed him chances to grab hold of her tail. They swam together around the coral clumps in twists, rolls and curls...Darla being able to shake him off from sudden bursts of speed and her muscular body whipping him around like a rag doll. It wasn’t long before his heavy breathing got her attention and she grabbed him by a paw…
       “That’s enough play for now.” She said as she pulled Jackson towards the underwater hotel. “You have ten minutes of air left.”
       Darla put on a burst of speed and she and Jackson shot through the opening at the bottom of the hotel structure, flew through the air and landed together on the smooth floor. They slid to a stop at the reception desk with Darla on the bottom waving to the koala above….”Hi!”
      “Welcome mates to the Paradise Cove.” The Koala said as he watched Darla and Jackson stand up and Darla began to take the SCUBA gear off her boyfriend…
       “Well….” The Koala said as he pointed. “Someone’s glad to be here.”
       Jackson looked down at his hard on and covered himself...”SNIT! Ugh…. Dar? Give me something will you?”
       The Koala obliged by throwing Jackson a pair of decorative paper shorts. “It’s ok mate. This is a clothing optional resort, happens all the time. So what can I do for you two lovers today?”
     Darla looked at Jackson and replied...”What do you have for two mammals madly in love and getting ready to be married?”
     The Koala smiled and swiped a pair of key cards. “I think we have plenty of nuptial rooms you’ll enjoy. Best part about our hotel is the flat rate cover charge. Five hundred zoo bucks covers your whole stay with breakfast and dinner socials included along with all amenities…
        Darla was about to get her wallet when Jackson stopped her. “What are you doing?”
       “Paying for our stay?” She replied.
        “No you’re not.” Jackson said smiling. “That’s my obligation. Females don’t pay for anything.” Jackson snuggle nosed Darla under her chin. “Specially gorgeous females like you.”
       “And mammals getting married don’t pay snit mammal.” A voice from behind said...”Hey Shelton? Put these kissin cats on my charge mammal.”
      Jackson turned to see a light brown otter standing in tropical shorts. He didn’t know who he was at first but Darla caught the surfer accent clearly….
      “Oh my gawd! Dean Wilson?!” She said as she clasped her paws. “You’re Dean Wilson!”
Note: Dean Wilson (otter) is the swimming champion from the 1980 HBO cartoon special “Animalympics” made for the summer games being held in Moscow (Then the USSR) which the United States boycotted.
      “Shhhhh….” Dean replied. “Don’t pronounce me gorgeous...I don’t want to get pop-rotzi-raped you get the diggy? You two doves of love don’t worry bout anything but smootchin and coochin.”
      Jackson pointed a paw finger...”You’re “thee” Dean Wilson?”
      “Yup...like I’m one ever to worry about bucks right? I get all my pleasure from just livin and sharin the love. And bunny? You got yourself one hot and sexy looking thing here.” Dean took hold of Darla’s paw and kissed it...”And what delicious bed of kelp do I have the pleasure of meeting?”
      “Dean?” Darla said with a blush. “You’re going to get my fiance jealous.”
       “He should be!” Dean replied. “If he ain’t then his ability to resist the rip tide’s seriously questionable.” Dean wrapped an arm around Jackson’s shoulder and whispered...”You want to drive her catatonic? Nibble the nub on the inboard of the ears...it’s tantra target number one for otter females my mammal….” “snick, snick”
       Dean gave both of them a hug...”You two enjoy yourselves. You want anything? Don’t be afraid to ask it mammals. Au shampoo later in the days.” Dean said as he excused himself and walked off with a happy trot in his steps.
      “Who ever thought we’d run into Dean Wilson here?” Darla said as she looked like she just came down from an orgasm…
       “He’s not what I expected.” Jackson said as he pulled on Darla’s arm. “But he nailed you good didn’t he?”
       “JACKIE!” Darla yelped as she slapped him off the back.
         “It’s ok Dar….” Jackson replied smiling. “You don’t have to hide the crushing weight of Dean’s athletic body, his gorgeous eyes or his enormous otter dick.”
         “You want to start off this break by me breaking your butt with my teeth?!” Darla huffed.
        “Hey! I’m supposed to be the jilted, jealous lover looking to break it off in Dean’s sweet cheeked ass.” Jackson giggled. “You were burning holes in his tail Dar!”
        “UGH! Move before I kill you?!” Darla snapped. “I was just being pleasant.”
        “Pleasantly looking at his tight ass!” Jackson snickered then ran as Darla went four legged and chased after him!
        “WHEN I CATCH YOU JACKSON WILDE!” She yelped.
        “GOTTA GO FASTER DARLA! YOU’RE TRAILING DEAN INSPIRED MOISTURE!” Jackson yelled as he caught a glass elevator and closed the door on Darla…
       “Room 707 Dar. Maybe you should take the stairs?” Jackson giggled as he waved the card keys in his paw. “As you say Dar? WORK FOR IT!”
        Jackson watched as Darla ran for the stairs and started bounding the steps as they spiraled around the elevator…
       “Snit!” Jackson yelped. “I didn’t think she could be that fast out of water?!” He said to himself as Darla kept up with the rising elevator…
       Jackson broke into a run as the door opened on the seventh floor but he didn’t get to the room door before Darla tackled him from behind and knocked him onto his back!
       She bore her teeth and hissed at him like a cat….”I warned you not to get me too upset Jackson...”
       “Why?” Jackson snickered back. “Dean Wilson made you climax, big deal.”
         “Dean Wilson is not the mammal I’m marrying!” Darla snarled as she climbed over Jackson and started to “snuggle-tooth-suck” his neck...”Just to make sure you know that I’m not affected by Dean’s awesomeness...” She said softly.
         “Uh?…..Dar?” Jackson asked as he waved a paw around. “Uh….two things? Number one?….I thought you said I had to work for it and number two?...Why are you trying to rape me in the hallway?”
         “The rules of the competition didn’t say “I” could not “rape” you.” Darla snickered softly. “And….I don’t care where we are.” She said as she started to kiss down Jackson’s body until he pulled himself away gasping….
       “Let me….let me open the door?” He said as he stood up and flopped against the door...”Oh great….I have rubber legs….giggles….must be because I’m tired, horny or both.” Jackson said as he fumbled with the card lock...”Giggles….I can’t get the stupid lock to work….DARLA! Get your fingers away from there!” Jackson yelped as he slapped at Darla behind him...”Sheesh have to fight a stupid key lock and a horny otter at the same time…”
       “Remember Jackson?” Darla said as she nibbled on Jackson’s neck. “The tail grab only applies when were in the water.”
       “Right now...I’m just trying to get the stupid door open Dar and you’re not helping! Stop rubbing me there girl! Damn….where’s the ice water when I need it?!” Jackson yelped! When the lock finally opened...Jackson flopped through the door and found himself being thrown onto the bed by Darla’s muscular body!
       “It’s like 3am Dar?” Jackson gasped as he backed away from his possessed looking girlfriend. Darla flopped over onto her side and gently yawned…
        “Yeah….it is a bit late huh?” She said as she played with Jackson’s foot. “I’m tired too.”
        “Tired from the Dean-gasms huh?” Jackson snickered.
        “Please do not make me want to kill you?” Darla replied as she moved to get under the covers and grabbed the room controller to set the climate...”A little chill won’t bother you will it? Makes for good sleeping.” She said as Jackson moved to get under the covers himself…

        “Not at all...” Jackson said as he reached for Darla and pulled her into his chest...”Mmmmm….nice room….”kiss”…..wonderful big picture window view of the ocean….”kiss”…...and one deliciously hot otter….”kiss”…..life’s just perfect.”
        Darla felt Jackson’s teeth lightly chewing the back of her ear….”What are you doing?”
        “Trying something out that Dean told me...” Jackson said as he lightly chewed at the “nub” Dean described. Seeing Darla’s legs kicking around under the covers seemed to confirm that Dean wasn’t kidding….
        “Uh…..Jackie?” Darla said gasping.
        “Yes my sweet love?” Jackson replied.
        “What ever you’re doing?…..don’t stop?” Darla said as she snuggled and coo’d against her lover.
        “Only when I fall asleep Dar.” Jackson replied as he reached for the controller on the bed, dimmed the lights and turned on some soft music to help them sleep.
Marine Recruiting Depot Savanna
Quanaco Marine Base, Savanna Central
5am 22 August 2040
“Combat town”
    “Did they have to get us out of bed so early?” Ori Hopps snorted a complaint as he pressed himself against the wall of a building with his brothers “stacked” in a line ahead of him.
     “Stop your complaining and do what you’ve been assigned to do Ori.” Owen snapped back quietly in reply as he stood in the front of the “stack” “And rule number one Ori? Shut your yap! Rule number two? Protect our backs!”
      “And if I don’t do what I’m told?” Ori asked.
      “I am not going to drop your draws and spank you, you sick rabbit!” Owen snapped.
      Nori turned around and got in Ori’s face….”You fluck us Ori and I’ll do more than spank you….I’ll kick your tail and feed you your fricken tail hole now shut the fluck up?!…..damn!”

       “That wasn’t needed Nori.” Ori snorted. “I was just upset at getting thrown into this without any prep!”
        “There’s always a reason to insanity Ori.” Dori said with a waving paw. “Just follow orders.”
         “Ka Pow Pow?” Owen asked as he reached back to pat Powen on his helmet. “What’s the situation?”
         “First, third and fourth platoons are stalled on the flanks. We’re forward of Second and Fourth squad on our left by twenty yards and behind third squad on our right by ten yards. There’s snipers all over the place….
          Without another word...Powen raised his paint ball rifle and casually banged out two shots to the brother’s right / front….
“BANG BANG!”
         “Like that dumb tango who raised his head. Nice fire loop to hide behind and he raised his head….stupid moron.” Powen said calmly. He then started to grab and throw his brothers into flight! “Run, run, run, run…..over there!”
         “What the fluck Powen?!” Ori complained.
         “Shut up and run.” Powen replied calmly as he directed his brothers towards a window, helped to throw them over the lip then dove in himself as the window got peppered by paint balls!
“SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT!”
        Owen scream out….”COVER THE WINDOWS! NORI, TAKE THE DOOR!” He then turned to Powen. “Let me guess? Sucker play?”
        “Just a lucky guess.” Powen replied smiling. “Reminded me of the time Mister Gray tried to suck us with that pie. I could sure go for one right now.”
“BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!” Nori slammed away with his machine gun paint ball since he was the squad machine gunner and watched two wolves drop among a squad trying to bum rush the building the brothers were in….”I HAVE SEVEN ON MY FRONT!”
Owen ran to the door and pulled a paint ball grenade from his web strap...”Where are they?”

“Coming up fast...three up ten yards with machine guns, five back with rifles in support. Distance….about 30 yards.”
“BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!”
Nori fired another burst as Owen pulled the pin on a grenade, allowed the spoon to flip off, counted a few seconds then gave the “grape” a high arcing hurl out the doorway! The grenade sailed through the air and arrived over the top of the wolves just as they tried to charge again...
“BOOF!”
“Oh nice!” Nori said with a snicker….”Air burst shower...they’re not happy about that!”
“How many gone?” Owen asked.
“Five.” Nori snorted. “The rest are staying put.”
Suddenly a paint ball smacked into Nori’s chest….”SPLAT!”…..And…..I’m dead, Son of a bland turnip.”
Owen smirked. “You stayed exposed in the doorway too long.”
“Yup…Dori? Take the machine gun.” Nori groaned as he walked back into the room and flopped on the floor….”Ugh! I’m dead! Dear Mr and Mrs Hopps, your son Nori died gloriously in combat….ugh…..rigger mortise….”
Nori assumed a stupid stiff pose with his tongue flopped out of his mouth and got his brothers to laugh….
“I hope you don’t do that for real.” Dori giggled. Then he got shot in the chest… “Snit! That guy’s damn good. I’m gone. Bye bye cruel world. Duh!”
Ori flopped onto his stomach….”There’s to many openings to get shot from! Why are we staying here Owen?!”
“He’s right….we can’t stay put. The three of us can’t defend this place.” Powen said to Owen. “What’s the plan there funny bunny?”
“Ice cream social?” Owen joked. “Let’s see the map on the smart...”
“BANG BANG BANG!”
Powen quickly shot three rounds and dropped the remaining wolves that tried to rush the house. “Wolves are so in a hurry to get rabbit tail.” Powen said calmly. “Now what were you saying Owen?”
“Let’s see the map on the smart phone.” Owen asked. He then turned to Ori...”Ori? Get up on the roof, use a mirror if you can get cover up there and tell us what’s going on, on the streets.”
Ori jumped up, snatched the mirror from Owen’s paw and took off up the stairs with Nori’s machine gun. He cleared the second story of the combat house, came up onto the roof and dove and slid against the low brick wall that went around the roof top…
“I’m on the roof!” Ori yelped into his radio as he used a mirror with an extension wand to see the ground level below the house…”We got a squad of rabbits coming our way! And they’re all wearing red striped helmets!”
Owen answered back. “Can you “grape” them?” (Grape = hand grenade)
“Oh yeah….easy!” Ori replied as he pulled a grenade off his web belt, pulled the pin, allowed the spoon to fly off and started counting…
“One…..two…...three…..four…...FIVE!”
Down below on the first floor, Owen heard the grenade go off and waited for Ori to tell what happened…
“Uh…...Owen?” Ori said on the radio sounding guilty.
“What did you do?” Owen replied shaking his head.
“I uh….tried to count it like you did.” Ori said woefully.
“Let me guess?” Owen asked as he bit his lip and looked at Powen.
“This paint tastes like snit.” Ori said as his lips smacked audibly. “Oh and Owen?”
“Yes Ori?” Owen replied.
“Go and….SHOOT THOSE BASTARDS BECAUSE THEIR LAUGHING THEIR STUPID BUTTS OFF AT ME!”
Owen and Powen broke out of the combat house, crossed the street and unloaded on the alley way on the other side as the squad of enemy rabbits were so occupied with laughing at poor Ori that they weren’t watching their own safety….
“BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!”
“Your dead Smitty.” Powen snorted at his counterpart Company Sargent.
“Well I’m protesting!” Smitty, a tri-brown colored bunny snorted back. “That stupid fool got himself killed and he relayed our position! Worse yet? He’s wearing un-authorized underwear and giving a floor show….that’s just a ton of horse snit Sargent Hopps!”
Owen snickered back….”Technically? He’s only lightly wounded judging by the lack of paint splatter on his chest. And second of all...why are you guys gazing at his Chipmunk-a-roos? Are you of a silly persuasion there Smitty? I’m seriously wondering about your sexuality. Now if you’ll excuse me? You’re dead and we’re not so….”
”SPLAT! SPLAT!”
Owen winced as he felt the paint ball burst on his back while Powen got shot in the back of the head…
“And you two are out for not following the rules of the exercise.” Gunny Rhakshah’s voice snapped out. “And what the hell is Private Ori Hopps doing up on the roof with non-regulation underwear on?”
Owen shook his head as he saw Ori doing a dance in just his Chipmunk-a-roos. “Cheese and Crackers delux flucken damn it.”
Gunny Rhakshah bent down...”Sargent? You had better square that crazy sibling of yours away….pronto!”
“Sigh…..yes Mam.” Owen replied as he looked up at Ori. “Get…..down…..here…
right now ORI!”
Once the brothers were all together, Owen gave Ori a pointed paw finger to the face. “Take off those stupid cartoon underpants right now.”
“But the issue one’s make me chafe bad Owen.” Ori replied.
“I don’t care!” Owen snorted. “When are you going to start taking things seriously Ori? You could have asked for something different to wear? What are you? A fricken kitten still? What were you doing on the roof? Tossing the stupid grenades like toys?”
“I WAS TRYING TO BE LIKE YOU!” Ori snapped as he pushed Owen backwards! “I WAS TRYING TO DELAY TOSS EM AND I SCREWED IT UP OK?! YOU’RE A PRICK!”
Ori sagged….”You’re all so much better than me in everything...maybe that’s why I cut up so much. I’m jealous of all of you...”
“Well there’s times to cut up and times to be serious.” Owen snorted. “You need to grow up out of the kitten mentality Ori.”
“Oh yeah...” Ori replied snorted. “Tell these two dorks about cutting up?” Ori snapped as he pointed to Nori and Dori. “They think being dead’s a fricken game! War isn’t paint ball you two! When you’re dead? YOU’RE FRICKEN DEAD! Are you still gonna laugh if Momma and Poppa get a letter that says “Regret to inform”? And there you are cutting up like it’s nothing!”
   Owen gently rubbed Ori on his shoulders...”You’re not getting spanked so don’t try...and? Yeah, you are right Ori. We shouldn’t make light of this at all. The reason they threw us out here with no preparation was to see how we’d act as much as how we’d work together with all we’ve been taught so far and to be honest? We’re all a little rough in the flanks.”
    Dori rubbed his head tuft...”Yeah….we did act a little stupid.”
    Nori sagged, walked up to Ori and gave him a hug...”You’re not without talent brother, trust me. You have a talent for distracting and deception, I know that much about you. How many times did we steal pies from old Mister Gray because you drove him nuts chasing ghosts all over the place?”
    “And I know when and when not to cut up Owen.” Ori snorted. “Then again? It might need a little refinement.” Ori pulled off his Chipmunk-a-roos and stuffed them into a leg pocket on his uniform. “I’m still not wearing those stupid G.I. issue shorts. I mean look at my crotch guys!”
     Dori looked and slapped his face as he screwed his eyes shut...”Damn it Ori!”
     Ori was wearing a pair of lacy speedos and laughed as his brothers reeled from the obscenity….”HAH! CAUGHT YOU ALL LOOKING!” Ori said as he took on a girlish pose...”Gottah admit fellas? I cut a damn sexy figure huh?”
     Owen turned to Powen with a snort….”Please tell me you got it in your backpack “Ka Pow Pow”?”
 
        Powen pulled a big wooden paddle from his back pack and snarled. “You want to get spanked you wise tail? You asked and you shall receive.”
        Ori started to back away….”I didn’t ask for that!”
        “Nori? Dori? Grab that little snit!” Owen commanded!
        Ori took off running with his two brothers in hot pursuit until all three of them got fired upon by paint balls…..and then some….
“SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!SPLAT! SPLAT!SPLAT! SPLAT!SPLAT! SPLAT!SPLAT! SPLAT!SPLAT! SPLAT!”
“OUCH!OUCH!OUCH!OUCH!OUCH!OUCH!OUCH!OUCH!OUCH!”
Powen stood shaking his head at the scene….”Dear Mister and Mrs. Hopps. We deeply regret to inform you that your son Ori was killed giving a floor show and your sons Dori and Nori were killed because they were enamored by your son Ori’s hot butt.”
Owen looked at Powen and snorted. “We’re supposed to be serious about all this “Ka Pow Pow”?”
“Oh get the pineapple out of your tail hole?” Powen replied. “You know Owen? You being so serious all the time is going to give you a stroke or make you incapable of having kittens. Look at me? Perfectly calm.”
Owen smiled back...”Ori does have the nicest butt of all of us.” He said whispering.
“There’s hope for you yet my dear brother.” Powen replied with a smirk.
The Gray family house
Rain Forest District
8am 22 August 2040
       Alex came down from his bedroom and into the kitchen where he bumped into his brother Will making coffee…
      “Oh hey Bro!” Alex said with a wave. “What are you doing here?”
      “What?” Will replied. “I can’t come home every so often to sleep over? I just decided to bare my soul to Mom and Dad, which is why I waited till you were sleeping to come over.”

         Alex quivered a little….”You? You told them?”
         “Well….not exactly everything but they know I was pretty active when I was young and you and me had a little thing and that I’m now “Gay-gaged” to be married...” Will watched Alex lean against the counter and rub his head…
         “I’m…...I’m sorry Al….I had too.” Will tried to explain as Alex held up a paw.
       “No need.” Alex replied. “Dad already knew. He suspected it a long time. You remember that winter solstice with us on the couch? Well Dad knew then you were probably screwing me. We had our own little talk.”
       Will almost dropped the coffee can in his paw...”And….?”
       “He just wanted to know if it was over between us and I said it’s been over and done for years. Other than that, he acted pretty good about the whole deal. At least….what I can see. I don’t know if behind our back he might not be a little pissed off.” Alex said as Will placed the coffee down and staggered for a chair…
      “I gotta sit down.” Will said as he visibly started shaking.
      “Will?” Alex asked as he walked over…
      “I’m….gasp…...gasp….” Will bent over with his eyes wincing….
      “Will? You’re having a panic attack.” Alex said as he took a paw. “Squeeze my paw bro?”
       “Alex? (gasping) I’m sorry! I’m so...(gasping)” Will almost fell out of the chair as Alex grabbed him and lowered him to the floor…
       “It’s ok bro.” Alex said as he grabbed a jacket and balled it up under Will’s legs. “I’m right here Will, nothings gonna happen to you, I promise...”
       “I don’t want to go to (gasping) go to prison...(gasping)….I’m passing out...” Will reached up for his brother’s face and cried….”Oh gawd Alex! I’m so sorry I molested you!” Then…..darkness.
       Moments later….Will awoke to the face of his mother dabbing a wet cloth on his snoot...”Will? What happened?” She asked as he lay on the couch.
       Will looked to see Alex making cut motions to his own neck as if to say… ”Watch what you say! Don’t talk snit!”

        “Ugh….I was…..I was just thinking after talking last night that you guys might reject me or hate me….I mean...” Will replied to his mother.
        “Sheesh….he pissed all over the place mom.” Alex snorted. “What a flucken baby! A real faggot.”
        The angry female wolf jumped up and gave Alex a slap on the snoot. “What did I tell you about saying such sick words about your brother Alexander!”
        “Well he did piss everywhere mom! Sheesh….did I lie?” Alex yelped.
        “Don’t you ever use the word “faggot” in this house again young wolf!” Valerie snarled.
        “At least I was honest!” Alex yelped back. Of course he was bringing down all the abuse on himself to shield Will and make sure he got nothing but positive attention.
       “Don’t worry William.” Valerie said as she rubbed Will’s head tuft. “Some of us know how to love without any conditions.”
       “Mom!” Alex yelped. “I love Will! Sheesh, I make a few wise butt comments and I get the third degree. Damn.”
       Valerie turned to Will and gave him a snoot kiss. “Don’t you worry about anything William...your father and I love you no matter what you decide to do with your own life. As for your younger brother? Get to the laundry this morning young wolf like you’ve been told for the last week?”
      Alex slackened...”Yes mother.” He said with a frown, which she responded too with a kiss…
      “Sometimes you’re a little difficult? But that doesn’t change how we love you too Alexander. You know that.”
      Alex watched his mother leave the living room and felt Will grab his paw… ”You didn’t have to pull the theatrics?”
      “Yes I did.” Alexander replied. “Like I said...mom probably doesn’t know everything and it’s best she never finds out. You were so upset? You probably would have spilled the whole can of whoop ass. Dad might have been able to take what he knows but Mom? Oh she would freak the fluck out on us for sure.”
      Alex sat for a moment in silence….”So? You’re going to marry Gilly?”

       Will nodded back. “Yes...do you like him?”
       “It’s not for me to like bro.” Alex replied. “What’s important is you. Does he make you feel good? Do you love him? Is he the right fit for you? Me? I have Marines on the brains so not my worry.”
        Will replied...”He can’t be gone a day and I’m a wreck. Yeah…..yes I love him very much Alex. When we do the wedding? I want you to be the best mammal.”
         Alex shook a paw. “Family members can’t be “best mammal” and besides? That? That would be a big “incest flashy” signal and I think you want to avoid that?”
        “Well?” Will said. “I really don’t have any other friends who’d qualify for a best mammal.”
         “Well?” Alex thought. “Why not try some of your track and field buddies from high school? I mean come on Will? You were super popular mister varsity track star and you don’t have one friend or team mate that would do it?”
        “I wasn’t exactly Mister “friendly and outgoing” in school Alex.” Will said as he sat up. “Did I really piss myself?”
        Alex snorted back. “Yeah you did Mister Sahara Beach. I had to clean you up and let me tell you….your piss reeks! I think you need to see a doctor and get some enzyme reducer pills. But seriously?” Alex said smiling. “I’m very happy for you Will. I hope Gilly’s everything you want and more...honestly.”
       Will replied by kissing Alex’s nose. “Thank you little brother. Maybe I should stop calling you little? Are you getting beefier?”
       “No….you’re burning holes in my tail, cut it out!” Alex snapped back. “Actually? Yeah. I am working out, thanks for seeing it. So much for being cute and innocent huh?” Alex changed into his four legged form and sat wagging his tail. “No more cub fluff butt, no more over-sized ears, no more downy looking face...And no more cubbish voice, I am so glad I finally cracked! Gawd my own cubbish voice was annoying as fluck!”
        “You still need to deepen it.” Will snickered. “You sound super gay as fluck.”
        “Do you want me to feed you those pissy paper towels bro? I can do that now since my buff body will totally kick your stick shaped tail. But I won’t because I love my big brother with all my heart.” Alex said as he raised his head high.
         Will gave him a kiss on the snoot. “And I love you very much little brother… but not in a gay way.”
         “Sheesh….I feel so jilted.” Alex snorted as he assumed his two legged form. “I’m off to die in laundry hell. Unless you want breakfast?”
         “If you’re making breakfast than I’ll stay a few more hours.” Will replied. “I have so much to get done today.”
ZPD First Precinct “First Prinky”
Downtown Zootopia
“The Bull Pen”
8am 22 August 2040
       As always every morning when she was on shift, Judy went to hop up onto the podium at the front of the room...only this time she found a pink ladder painted with flowers set against it…
      “Alright….” She snorted as she walked around the podium and stood where all the assembled officers had to look down at her. “Who’s the Wisenhoofer with the girl’s ladder? Stand up?”
       A female Wolf stood up panting with her tongue out.
      “Nice gesture Haley. Sit down. I’m not 80 years old am I?” Judy looked around the room for an answer. “Oh come on you guys? A little ribbing is ok? You know? I kinda look 80 but I age gracefully? I’m an old maid? At least crack a few jokes so I don’t feel too bad about retirement?”
       A Hippo officer named “Karl Malden” set a bottle of “Geritol” on the floor and smiled wide….
      “Oh….fluck you Karl!” Judy said as she thumped her foot and got the whole room laughing. “Good morning everyone.” Judy said as she walked back to the podium and climbed the ladder to the top platform….
      “Ok...as everyone knows by now, I will soon be retired from the force. I would like to introduce the new incoming Chief of First Precinct, Captain Jordan (Female Black Panther) whom you’ve all seen here over the past few days walking around with me. Today she begins to take up some of my duties such as first roster and over the next few days she will completely….” Judy paused to put a paw to her mouth...”I’m sorry everyone...I…..it’s as you might expect….just a little emotionally trying….I….you know….I love you guys a lot and….”
       The officers all stood up and clapped which made Judy perk up. “Boy! I’m certainly not a Chief Bogo huh? Never saw that old ox with any emotions. Well?….over the next few days, Captain Jordan will assume her full duties and become Chief Jordan so I expect she will have the same great support I have had for the last fifteen years from all of you. That being said? I will now turn over the morning call to her because if I don’t? I’ll become a useless blabbling mess of fur. Captain?”
      Judy gestured to Jordan, climbed off the podium and walked out of the room. She stopped a few feet away to let her emotions go for a moment as she slid down the side of the wall and sat on the floor rubbing her eyes out of tears….
      “Snit...I thought I could keep a stone face….” She said gritting her teeth.
      “You’re a cute little bunny, it’s a weakness.” Came a familiar voice off to the side.
      “Clawhauser?” Judy asked as she looked around. Sure enough it was Ben Clawhauser dressed in a pair of tropical shorts, flip flops and a potato sack shirt. “Come get some lovin you cute little bunny!” Ben said with his arms out.
        “Oh my gawd! Ben!” Judy yelped as she ran and hopped into Ben’s arms. “When did you get in?! I thought you were on your boat! Have you?….have you lost weight?”
        “Lost weight? Well duh Judy….when you go sailing all over the place, what else can you do but lose the pounds? And a new revelation? I’ve kicked off doughnuts, can you believe that?” Ben said as he carried Judy to her office and set her on her desk. “So what have you been up too? I heard you’re getting ready to retire?”
        “Yeah...” Judy replied as she sat on her desk top. “I moved it up a little for my husband’s sake.”
         “Is Nick ok?” Ben asked.
         “Well he won’t be improving but he’s not getting any worse at the moment.” Judy said with a sigh. “That’s why I asked to speed things up. When I retire, we’re selling the house and moving to Aiden. You have to come up to our cottage Ben! We have to have a party with some of the old timers, for Nick’s sake. Please?”
         “Sheesh Judy, like I’m going to say no?” Clawhauser replied. “I see my niece has her “nitch” settled. She’s working out alright?”

          “She is fantastic.” Judy replied. “I made her school spokes-mammal for the Department...the cubs and kittens totally adore her.” Judy stopped for a moment to think...”Ben? How did you handle the first few weeks of retirement? I...I’m a nervous wreck inside, I mean...I don’t want to retire, I can’t stand sitting around, I’ll go crazy, I’ll drive Nick insane...”
          “Judy?” Benjamin replied as he gently held Judy still with his paws. “Do you think I handled the first days any better? Ask Paige what I did? I went on a doughnut munching binge from hell! I actually put my uniform on a few days and tried to go to work. Trust me….no one is ready to call it quits unless they start from day one to have a “I don’t give a fudge” attitude. Do yourself a favor? Let your paw claws grow a little long, wear some crazy clothes, maybe smoke some pot, fluck Nick’s brains out till he explodes and just spoil yourself in some good ways and soon? Retirement fits right in. Come on Judy?! You’ve busted your hump for the good of the city and the Department long enough...spoil yourself from now on will you? Especially for Nick, gawd knows he needs a lot of you more than the city does.”
          Judy giggled….”Me?….smoke pot? You have to be kidding Ben? Can you see me high?”
          “It would be fricken hilarious.” Ben snickered. “I would do anything to feed you pot carrot brownies just to watch the fun.” Benjamin closed in on Judy’s ear… “You should try sex after eating two...you’ll lose your mind.”
          “BENJAMIN CLAWHAUSER YOU PERVERTED FREAK!” Judy snapped….”I SHOULD…..I should…...do you have a recipe for pot brownies?”
          “My dear? You are talking to a Cheetah with a confectionery brain, oh please girl? Would I have a recipe for pot brownies? Really?”
         Judy giggled...”You know Ben? I’m really the last of the old crew from twenty five years ago. The department is so...young. So….different. So….not usual. My gawd some of these officers were wearing diapers when you and I were here...Nick was a silly con-mammal, I was a dumb rookie….I think….oh gawd I remember my first day when old Chief buffalo butt said….” Officer Hopps...Parking duty”...oh I wanted to slug him so hard! And then my parking record gets busted by this little wise snit rookie and things came about full tilt.”

        “Yeah they did.” Benjamin said smiling. “So how’s your son? Enjoying the Navy?”
        “Yes….he’s in the Outbacks right now with his ship….and his future wife.” Judy said almost blushing.
        “Jackie’s getting married?! Are you kidding me?” Benjamin yelped. “My gawd only yesterday I was giving that kid piggy back rides...where did the time go Judy?”
       “Trust me Ben, I am so not ready myself to see Jackson married. I still have his room just as he left it out of High School. Me and Nick are waiting for him to come home so we can all have one last week in the house before we sell it off. You should have had children Ben, honestly...why do you still live alone?”
       Benjamin smiled back. “Who says I do? But you know me Judy, I keep my life out of the lime lights and cameras you know? I’m not one to broadcast “The life and times of Benny Clawhauser!” on Pawtube or Furbook. But...I have a lot of friends and close acquaintances and I’m happy with that...but you never know right?”
      Ben then offered a paw. “Coffee my dear Chief?”
      “Sounds wonderful Mister Clawhauser. Sounds just wonderful.” Judy replied as she hopped onto Ben’s broad shoulder.

      What an odd arrangement. Myler and Albert making out with the same female mouse, then again Albert kept babbling on that such things weren’t uncommon. Myler spooned Tanya from behind while Albert was nestled in her soft tits…
      “Hmph….nerdy tail hole.” Myler snorted as he looked at his sleeping friend. The Son of a Cheese block deprived Myler’s wallet of 200 Zoo bucks. How in the hell was Albert able to keep such a good face while getting his knob greased? Myler thought Tanya was pulling her punches and favoring the genius over the bigger brawn. Though there was no doubt that this female mouse was a sexual freak out.
       Myler looked at the small clock on the side table...”Hmph…should we sleep in a while?” He said softly to himself.
       “Of course we should.” Albert replied. The genius mouse then occupied himself with sucking a nipple…
       “You’re not a virgin….fricken liar.” Myler snorted.
       “I was a virgin...till last night.” Albert replied. “Come on “My My” don’t be angry about losing the bet? I promise the money isn’t going to anything except the bank. Seed money for our company you know?”
       “You flucken cheated Albert.” Myler snorted. “Obviously she loves the intellectual types.”
       “If that were true?” Albert replied. “You wouldn’t be in this bed...Mister happily endowed.”
       Myler swung himself on the edge of the bed. “Well since I’m now up and going back to bed is not an option...”
       Albert gently kissed Tanya on the nose...”She’s not an “option”. While you were busy pleasing her? I found out she’s from a very influential family in Rodentia. I do know something about intricate sexual politics my good “My My”. Her father’s going to love us. Perfect arrangement for our future wouldn’t you say?”
       Myler snorted back. “Her father is going to kill us for double dipping daddy’s little girl. How’s that for your sexual politics there Mister Egg Head?”
      Albert smiled back….”Myler? There’s no laws against polygamy in the rodent world and she likes us both in our own unique way. She’s smart, she’s talented...”
     “Is she talented in smarts or in sex?” Myler said as he threw a paw around and walked to the small kitchen space to make coffee.
     “Both...” Tanya said as she stirred awake….”What time is it?” She asked as she sat up.”
      “A little after eight.” Albert said as he pointed to the clock.
      “Mmmffff….I’m going back to bed.” Tanya said as she flopped back and reached for Albert...”You are so soft Albert? What’s your secret?”
      Albert cuddled Tanya and gently lick kissed her snoot...”Goat milk and Alabaster cream soap.” He said softly. “It lessens my demonology scaling.”
      Tanya looked at Myler...”Still angry at losing that bet?”

        “Not that much.” Myler replied. “Just the fact that “he” could keep so strait faced the whole time and carry on a normal conversation. Did you spend as much time with his tail hole as you did with mine?”
       Tanya giggled...”Albert’s just more geek than I thought. But he doesn’t have a “pleaser” like yours.”
       “Told you she liked it endowed.” Albert huffed. “Now pour those coffees “My My” and come back to bed?”
        Myler handed cups of coffee to Albert and Tanya then slipped himself back onto the bed with his own cup…
       “Now one good thing to say about Myler? He makes great coffee.” Albert said as he blew into his cup and took a sip. “So what are we going to do later today? I don’t mind staying in bed, anyone else?”
        Myler raised a paw...”There’s an amusement park for rodents on Small Mundy Island off of Paddy? If you two want to go see it?”
        Tanya snuggled against Myler’s side while pulling Albert’s paw to her breasts. “I love it.” She said softly. “And I love your coffee.”
        Myler cupped her chin in his paw and gently kissed her on the lips...”I guess going back to bed for a couple of hours wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all….”

     “How is your breakfast?” Morty asked Kawam-ura as the Kzinti relished the taste of the steak on his plate…
     “I am a bit surprised.” Kawam-ura replied. “Steak? I thought Zootopia was a vegetarian and artificial meat society? This is actual cattle meat.”
      “Well….” Morty explained. “There’s many ways predators here get their proteins and we do raise what you could call “dumb” poultry and beef. It’s not an all around year supply though….just seasonal. But an exception was made in your case because we really didn’t know if feeding you our traditional protein meat substitutes would sit well with your digestive system. We want you to be comfortable.”
        “I am very thankful.” Kawam-ura replied with a slight bow. 
        Morty reached over the table and petted the Kzinti’s large paw...”If we could arrange it? How would you like to walk around the city? And not at night.”
       “You could do that?” Kawam-ura asked. “And how do you intend to disguise me? I don’t believe any of your own Tigers reach my size?”
        “Shouldn’t be that hard.” Morty replied. “Of course you won’t be going out  by yourself. I think it’s important to show you that we’re not anything that your national news claims we are.”
         “What about “my national news”?” Kawam-ura asked. “What have they been saying? Have they said anything about me?”
         “Nothing’s been said about you.” Morty replied. “Not even by name. But they continue to say the same thing about Zootopia. It’s a perversion, it’s a plague and so much threatening anger against it.”
         Kawam-ura sighed...”Stubborn….so stubborn. And you continue to try and reach them even when they refuse to reply?”
         “You’ve said yourself we shouldn’t stop trying.” Morty replied.
         “I have been deeply thinking...” Kawam-ura said...”Trying to continue to reach them through diplomacy is only wasting time. You should start putting forth a firm and resolute front. I’ve said before you should never dare turn your back on my nation. Now I believe you must directly confront it.”
          Morty wiped a paw finger over his snoot. “Direct confrontation? Are you saying we should?”
          “No. Not that.” Kawam-ura said. “Certainly not that. But I gather that my nation does receive your transmissions, I’ve learned that much. It’s time you confront Kzin directly by your transmissions, by name, with a serious face. Your Mayor should speak directly to Kzin, address his majesty, warn them of what will happen if they make an ill advised and stupid move.”
           Morty asked. “Wouldn’t that be very risky?”

           “The risk is not doing whatever possible to show strength. My nation’s elites and the military leadership will only understand strength. The only reason why there has not been a serious collision between our two countries for so long is because Zootopia has a strong Navy and has shown strength in deploying it. There is risk in everything yet greater risk in doing less or nothing.” Kawam-ura replied.
          “But that unpleasantness is best left to those in authority.” Kawam-ura said as he cut up his portion of raw steak. “How did you know I might enjoy this un-cooked?”
        “Call it an educated guess.” Morty replied. “I can’t eat it raw though. I have to have it a little above room temperature. I would like to have you at my home some time if I didn’t think my parents or my sister would wig you know? You’d make Summer trip over her own tail, I’d get a laugh out of watching her smug snoot scamper all over the house yowling.”
        “I probably would not be effective at maintaining some one’s discomfort.” Kawam-ura replied. “I’m really not into being offensive. Then again, I don’t know any mammal who could still stand strait after having someone like myself bare my teeth. Who knows? Your sister might end up liking my company.”
        Morty gave Kawam-ura a snort.
        “Non-sexually speaking of course Morty-Wakamoto.” Kawam-ura replied as he licked his lips. “Mmmmm….if only this was a full cow. Not to frighten you Morty but have you ever seen a tiger take down a prey mammal?”
        “Only cops who get pissed because they had to run after some silly weasel.” Morty replied. “Now that? Is hilarious to watch.”
Route 394 from Meddow Lands to Sahara Square
10am 22 August 2040
          Bobby looked over at his passenger and patted her paw...”Everything’s going to be just fine ok? Will’s completely trustworthy I promise you.”

         Whitney (Female Weasel and a classmate of Jackson’s at Electronics school) had been detailed to her first assignment at the Submersible drone operations center at Wooly Rocks Naval Base in the Meadow lands which she hoped would be a quiet corner of the world where she and her girl friend could enjoy the peace and quiet the Meadows offered. Now she was thinking about what would happen if she decided to flip her lips over what she’d been seeing over the past six months. She wasn’t certain what she was actually seeing which made her all the more upset about talking.
        “Bobby? What if I’m wrong about the whole thing? What if it’s a normal thing that the special forces do from time to time?” Whitney said.
         “Too many things you describe don’t come across as “role playing”, not the uniforms you said the tigers were wearing nor the fact that they brought up going to the Kzinti home island. I know the drone subs can carry troops. That’s open knowledge on the internet. And they’re stacking provisions? No girl…..no….that’s not normal at all.”
         Whitney bit one of her paw finger claws...”What are you and Will going to do with what I tell you?”
        “Nothing until we can get a corroboration.” Bobby replied. “We’ll be very careful with it, I promise. Did you tell your girlfriend?”
          Whitney replied. “She is soooo nervous about the whole thing. I mean, what if they’re doing this under the radar? We could be tripping off a serious snit storm.”
        “If they’re doing it against the law, it is serious.” Bobby replied. “They can’t do this stuff without government approval, especially if they do it and the Mayor is in the black and it goes bad. There’s no good reason to violate our laws, look what happened to Commander Callie?”
         Whitney looked out the window as the city passed on her side...”I can’t bear the thought of seeing that on fire. The buildings destroyed. Here I was looking forwards to a quiet four year hitch with Cynthia and “poof” I have to be at the right place at the wrong time.”
      Bobby reached out and petted Whitney’s shoulder. “It’s all going to work out. Don’t despair.”
