E06 Heading to Zootopia
“And also bears,” said Stu. “We have bears to fear, too. To say nothing of lions, wolves...”
“Wolves?” Bonnie asked, perplexed. “...weasels...,” Stu continued.
“You play cribbage with a weasel,” said Bonnie.
“And he cheats like there’s no tomorrow. Pretty much all predators do—and Zootopia’s full of ’em. And foxes are the worst.”
“Actually, your father does have a point there,” added Bonnie. “It’s in their biology. Remember what happened with Gideon Grey?”
“When I was nine,” said Judy. “Gideon Grey was a jerk who happened to be a fox. I know plenty of bunnies who are jerks.”
“Sure. We all do. Absolutely,” said Stu. “But just in case, we made you a little care package to take with you.” He held out a bag.
“And I put some snacks in there,” said Bonnie.
Judy looked inside and saw a bunch of pink spray canisters.
“This is fox repellent,” explained Stu, picking one up.
“Yeah, that’s safe to have,” said Bonnie.
“This is fox deterrent...,” Stu said, pointing at something that looked like an air horn.
“The deterrent and the repellent. That’s all she needs,” Bonnie said, trying to stop Stu from going overboard.
“Check this out!” Stu said as he pulled out a fox Taser and turned it on, causing it to sizzle.
“Oh, for goodness’ sake! She has no need for a fox Taser, Stu.”
“Come on. When is there not a need for a fox Taser?” asked Stu.
“Okay, I will take this to make you stop talking,” said Judy. She grabbed the pink can of fox repellent as the train approached.
“Terrific! Everyone wins!” Stu exclaimed.
“Arriving! Zootopia express!” called the conductor.
“Okay. Gotta go. Bye!” said Judy, heading for the train.
Stu and Bonnie held back tears as they watched their daughter walk off. Suddenly, Judy turned back and ran to her parents. She wrapped her arms around them both. “I love you guys,” she said, hugging them.
“Love you, too!” said Bonnie.
After one more hug, Judy jumped onto the train. “Cripes, here come the waterworks,” said Stu as his tears started to flow.“Ahhahoho jeesh...”
“Oh, Stu, pull it together,” whispered Bonnie.
The big crowd of bunnies watched Judy go, and as the train pulled away, they ran next to it, waving and shouting their goodbyes.
“Bye, everybody! Bye!” Judy called.
When their faces faded into the distance, Judy climbed to the observation deck and took a deep breath. She pulled out her phone and clicked on some music, feeling like her life was about to begin.
