Chapter 1
The sun was rising over the great, bustling city of Zootopia, where it claims to be the place where "Anyone can be anything". Well, if you were in the eyes of Judy Hopps, that was true. Very true indeed. She made a promise to herself that she would "Make the world a better place!" she would try that and would never give up until she thinks it seems right. She has made the world, well, Zootopia a better place than it once was.
Following the recent Night Howler scandal that turned the city into turmoil, and the arrest of former Mayor Dawn Bellwether, prey and predators were once again reunited in harmony like it was left before. They can go outside, even on public transport and they do not need to threat over a different type of species judging their behaviour and 'biology'. No, no, no. The meekest prey can go up to the fiercest looking predator and order a coffee or something like that.
There was something special about this certain location, it's diversity. Even though some people may not get along the slightest, they might discriminate a predator for it's scars on it's face, most of the time, they just forget about it and coddle up once more.
6:00AM came, and Judy's regular body clock made her spring out of bed gleefully, thanking that the night was over. She ran out of her tidy bedroom, trailing a few important ZPD documents behind her and finally landing on the floor. She then grabbed a towel and went towards the bathroom to wash for the day. She turned on the shower and waited for the hot water to come out. She had a crappy boiler and she knew it. But it didn't bother her too much but it took the water FOREVER to boil.
She just took this precious time to wonder what to do today after work and what cases she will get to crack. But something else is overshadowing those thoughts this morning "I'm so excited today! It's Nick's first day on the force today!" She was excited today because Nick Wilde, a used-to-be scamming red fox that mooched $15 off her for his own business needs, to a detective, has managed to join the Zootopia Police Department. He has changed a lot since the Night Howler case. He managed to crack the case with Judy, and assist with the catching out of Bellwether with Judy's carrot pen, he earns trust from Chief Bogo, which you would dream to get as he is very hard to please, even from a fox.
A few minutes later, the water was just at the right temperature. Finally. Judy then took her towel and herself into the bathroom. She then hung her towel on the hook nailed into the wall, stripped out of her pink nightgown and stepped into the steaming hot shower. The water began to flatten down her fur against her skin in a soothing way. Judy then reached for the bar of blueberry flavored soap to clean as she washed herself from ear to toe.
She continued to lather the soap among her silky grey fur for a few minutes, flattening down any stray bits of fur that she could see sticking out. 5 minutes later, she finished up, turned off the water and then dried herself down. Judy then picked up her uniform, neatly hanging from her wardrobe presenting itself in all it's glory and slapped it on.
Judy then rushed out of her apartment and headed down the two flights of stairs. As she opens the creaky door, then sun crept into the dark hallway of the apartment, presenting the already-bustling street heading the her favourite stop on the way to work, Frankie's.
As Judy pranced cheerful along the pavement, she admired the full beauty of Zootopia. The golden sand that blanketed Sahara Square to the moist trees of the rainforest district. Her badge gleaming in the light of the sun, expressing accomplishment and her dignity. A few minutes went by, Judy knew she was getting closer to Frankie's. The sweet sugary smell of his famous doughnuts, cakes and pastries conquered the air. Smelling it made Judy feel like she has rotten teeth and made her want to brush her teeth afterwards.
The bakery was a small, dainty and cute (ahem, sorry Judy) pop-up shop that stood up proudly near the park that Judy would take quick jogs in her spare time. The owner was Frank Howl, a wolf from Tundra Town who started his business there. It became popular with his friends and family at first, then the rest was history. He moved it into the big city where he makes loads of 'dough' each day. Frank was propped up on the counter with his neck in his chin with his usual crazy look in his eyes. Then he saw Judy, a regular come towards his shop with her lavender eyes being lit up by the sunrise.
Frank then saw her, his eyes lit up and waved at her. Judy acknowledged his greeting by waving back at him with that beautiful giggle she utters every so often.
"Frank my main man! Hows things going with your life?" said Judy.
"Hey Judes!" Squealed Frank. "The usual, doing the thing I love, making everyone's jaws drop and their eyes twinkle with my sweet lovingly made goodies." His face then faced the floor looking disappointed. "But something's missing..."
"Oh what's that?" said Judy looking concerned.
Frank then looked up with that goofy smile of his. "I haven't made YOUR jaws drop or eyes twinkle yet!" he said enthusiastically.
"Oh, Frank. You've made me worried for a second there! I thought something else was on your mind." said Judy, giving him a friendly punch to the arm.
Frank laughed. He then cupped his paws together and asked;"What can I get for you today?"
"Ooh, I dunno. It all looks so good!" said Judy as she eyed the display cabinets filled with delicious treats. She couldn't make her mind up. 'Sugar Yum Yum's, Cornish pasties, or a blueberry muffin?' She thought carefully. She felt like she could just let the waterfall building up in her cheeks flow right out of her mouth.
"Could I have... a few rainbow sprinkled doughnuts, um, a dozen carrot flapjacks and 5 blueberry muffins please?"
"Certainly! Anything for my favorite bunny!" said Frank grabbing his gloves and snapped them on his paws. He carefully took them out of the heating display window, being careful not to taint their beautiful look. He placed them into a brown paper bag before handing it to her.
"Righty then Judy. That's $2.95 for all of that!" chimed in Frank.
"Certainly! Let me get my purse..." said Judy. She reached in to her bag to search for the money. Unlike any other woman's bag, which is a universe of it's own, Judy's was a lot like her room, tidy and organised with little pockets to sort stuff out. She found the money she owed Frank.
"There way go Frankie boy!" chirped Judy. She handed him $4. "Keep the rest, you deserve it!" she looked at him with her huge purple eyes.
"Aw Judes you don't have to do that!" said Frank, surprised. "No, I insist! You work hard enough for this." insisted Judy giving him a look of approval.
"Okay then... hope to see you again!" called out Frank as Judy left the bakery. "Same time tomorrow?" "Sounds great! See ya!" shouted Judy, skipping along the pavement once again to the ZPD building.
