Home Sweet Home

Benny snaked the boat around of few rocks to an opening in the coast. He managed through the treacherous back entrance to the Wilde Times amusement park that was connected to the old sewer system. The whole park was old, been around for almost seventy years and sat on top a giant dock suspended over the Zootopia's Southern Bay. As they glided into the large cave-like formation everything grew dark. Benjamin Clawhauser flipped a few switches on the console, the floodlights flicked on illuminating the dark. Nick smirked pointing at the workshop lantern to the left. It worked as a beacon to guide them to the docks.

“Yep, I see it.” The chubby cheetah mumbled coolie bringing the boat flush with the edge of the dock before killing the motor.

“Beautiful as always, Benny.” Nick slipped out of his seat.

“Aye, captain.” Benny giggled before getting up from his seat.

Nick gave the cat a firm slap on the shoulder before he walked out on the deck. Benjamin Clawhauser was a pudgy, snack-loving cheetah. They'd met while he was skulking around the amusement park grounds back when they were younger. One of the larger predators was picking on him because of his nerdy Star Tiger t-shirt and thick glasses. Nick never appreciated bullies and figured this would be a good time for him and Finnick to join forces to bully these bullies. After that, The cheetah had been with them ever since. Which now that they were older was a stroke of good fortune. The cheetah knew his way around motors or two, engines as well. Benny took it upon himself to learn the inner workings of a lot of the rides, which saved Nick a pretty penny when it came to paying for maintenance.

The fox scooped up the rope and jumped onto the dock to tie the boat off. Finnick was leading the children up from the hold one by one. Honey brought up the rear. When the kids entered the large expanse they oohed and awed at the surroundings.

“Wow, it's like the pirates from Peter Pan.”

“I wanna be a lost boy.”

Nick chuckled and held his hands out to the first boy in line. The lion's age must have already been well into the double digits. He jumped the gap into the fox's waiting arms, he was much heavier than he looked. The fox almost crumpled under his weight.

“Woo, buddy, you're a big boy.” Nick chuckled to hide the groan from his back.

One after the other, Honey and Finnick lowered the children down to Nick until all of them were on the dock and accounted for. Again Finnick took the lead, Benny following shortly behind him, as Honey and Nick brought up the rear. The halls were flooded with a cool, pale light from the bulbs hanging overhead. It gave everything a strange cold compound feel. Up ahead the jagged rock walls fell away to a much more conventional looking room with smooth concrete walls, ceiling, and floor.

A large badger stood by with a clipboard. An easy smile came to lips, it seemed to swell into his steel-gray eyes that sat behind black framed glasses. He moved to embrace the much younger badger girl. Honey wrapped her arms around his neck giving his cheek a soft kiss.

“Hey, daddy.”

“Baby girl,” He laughed picking her up from the floor with a grunt.

The older badger was much stockier than his daughter but she was slimmer and slightly taller than him. They both shared a large smile before he regarded the fox with a handshake that soon became a hug. As always it was accompanied by a hard slap to the back that caused the fox to grunt.

“My boy, It's good to see you back. Thank you for taking care of my daughter.”

“I'd rather die than have anything happen to her.”

“The best son-in-law a father could ask for.” There was a fond smile in the old badger's face.

“Bartrand.” A young fox limped up to meet him.

The first thing that drew the eye to the young fox was his prosthetic leg. Built and formed from bits of scrap lying around until it was a fully functional leg. It didn't look pretty but it did the trick. The rest of him was simple, not in a negative way. From his t-shirt to his jean shorts, they were just there to keep his modesty. A pair of goggles pushed up onto his forehead in such a way that it sent his tall ears poking out at the sides. And easy smile traced his muzzle as his blue eyes scanned the little newcomers.

“Gosh, look at all of you!”

“Kids, I would like you to meet Hexter Boggs. My dear friend, I was telling you about.” Nick moved up to give the younger fox a hearty handshake.

The otter girl pushed her way to the front. “Can you take my collar off?”

“I sure can and I will but first you'll have to be checked in by Bartrand, or Dr. Bouncer, or just Doc if you like,” Hexter smirked and took a step back. “Nick, I'll be right back. I'm gonna get my tools.”

“He's so cool!” A heavy-set wolf cub commented pointing at his leg.

“Alright, everyone line up.” The old badger spoke before slipping down into an office chair. “I'm going to ask your name and do a brief examination. Honey, will you assist me?”

“Sure thing, pops.”

Nick stood by and watched as each of the kids were checked in. Normally the process would take longer but since there were only twenty kids in total it would take a fraction of the time. One by one the kid's told the old badger their names and they would receive their information folder from Honey. Then they would stand in line so Hexter would deactivate their collars. That was Nick's favorite part. Watching the older kids touch their necks for the first time always made his heart swell. To see their smiles larger spread than any he'd ever seen filled him with pride. The younger kids would cry from their happiness.

At one point Nick caught Honey looking at him dreamily. He knew he was wearing the same old stupid grin on his face as he always did. She caught him enjoying the children's happiness. In a way, it was as if each of the kids were his own and he was happy to bring them home. Honey handed out the last folder before she got up. She met Nick with a soft kiss on his lips.

“Hey, Papa Wilde.”

“Probably shouldn't call me that, it has some perverse meaning.”

Honey giggled and leaned in for another kiss, this one lasted a bit longer.

“Alright you two, break it up, for goodness sake. Let's get these kids settle.” Bartrand got up from his chair ushering the kids onward.

Hexter was putting the last name tag on the back of one of the collars. “I'll get started on modifying these right away, Nick.”

“Good, the sooner the better. Thanks for everything, Hex.”

“I only wish I could do more.”

“Trust me, you do more than enough.” Nick gave the younger fox's shoulder a squeeze before seeing him off.

“First off, I should tell you those folders you've received are your life lines. You'll need them several times a day, so you must take care of them.”

“What's in them?” A black wolf cub, Conner, chimed in.

“I'll get to that later. Come on, kids. I'll show you around.”

Nick lead the kids on a short tour of the facilities. They traveled through the mess hall, complete with fully refurbish kitchen. Nick stopped briefly to explain the eating schedule and promised that everything would be addressed later, but a mention of chores sent a wave of groans. Some of the kids weren't happy with it but they would grow to accept it in time.

Nick ushered the kids into a hallway. After a quick explanation that these were the classrooms, he told the kids that they would find their class schedules inside their folder. They will be required to report to school at the scheduled time. Doug moved his way to the front of the line giving Nick's tail a tug.

“What are these folders?”

Nick shifted so fast that he pulled his tail out of the piglets hand sending him off balance. The fox swept in to help the struggling piglet who couldn't get his balance back because of the crutches. Honey knelt down taking the folder from him, so she could show him the contents. The first page was his profile. It had such things as his name, date of birth, and a picture of him. It wasn't much different from any government paperwork. On the next page was a picture of him with his mom and dad. A smile came to his face.

“How did you get that?”

“We asked your mother for it. Each of you has a picture of your parents and your siblings so that if you get lonely, you can always pull it out and look at it-” Honey was gladly interrupted by Nick.

“We know this isn't your home and we know that you're scared. There's nothing much we can do about that but we will try everything we can to make you feel...happy, despite these sudden changes.” Nick rubbed the back of his neck with one hand, the other fumbling for his pack of cigarettes Bartrand's gripped his shoulder bringing him to look at the old badger.

“Not around the kids, young fox.”

“Right, so um, other things you'll find in these files are your medical records for when you don't feel well and need to see the Doc here.”

“I have asthma!” A sweet little girl opossum named Alex raised her hand.

“Alex, M. Yes, we have a stock of your inhalers in the pharmacy. If you need a replacement then you come speak to me at once.”

“Ooh, he's good,” Alex whispered.

Nick chuckled and motioned for the kids to follow him into the common room. It looked more like a large family room where everyone could gather for fun and games. There were several televisions, bookshelves, and plenty of places to sit. Nick explained that they can do their socializing here but if they ever want to be alone they can just go to their bunks. That was when Nick pointed out the locker rooms and bedrooms, on either side of the common room. Girls to the left, boys to the right and neither of them were permitted to enter the others locker room and bedroom. Nick was critical in stressing this fact.

The door they'd come through opened and the heavenly smell of something sticky, spicy, and sweet made Nick's mouth water. Honey turned as well to see a rather tall, chubby fox slipping into the room. His flannel shirt, blue jeans and easy smile showed that he was from the boroughs outside of the city. When he saw the kids, he stopped and gave them a once over. His blue eyes trying to recognize the newcomers. The kids were all staring back at him, or more precisely, the pie he was carrying.

“Oh wow, look at y'all. You're new here. Welcome to your new home, my name is Chef Gideon Grey. I-I-'ll be the one teaching y'all how to cook and clean the kitchen back there.”

“Hey Gid,” Nick bounded over to him, his own excitement peaked at getting a closer look at the pie. “What are you doing here?”

“Well, I have a peach caramel pie for little Mindy and Bonny H. It's their birthday today. They're turning the big 1-3, so I made them this here pie. T-t-that's kinda what I do to show y'all that you're special. I make y'all a pie.”

“Whoa! A whole pie?” Doug squealed excitedly, the other kids chuckled, making his cheeks turn red.

“Now, now kids. Be polite.” Gideon looked at each of them. “That's right, lil 'uns a whole pie. And sometimes, I'll even put a candle in it if I got 'em. As y'all can tell I ain't got any today but it'll still be a nice surprise.”

“You'll also be excused from all your chores on your birthday.”

“What about school?” Conner asked.

“Nope, 'fraid not, kiddo. The only way to get out of school is if you're on death's door. There's nothing more important than an education.” Gideon's big smile failed to make the kids feel any better about the response.

“Oh, man!”

“I'm gonna deliver this and then I'll get some food moved to classroom one for y'all orientation. It was a pleasure to meet you and I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all more.” The chubby fox smiled and headed on into the girl's bunk room to deliver the pie.

“Wow, Mindy and Bonny are thirteen. Time sure does fly.” Honey chimed in.

“I know, they grow so fast.” Bartrand wrapped his arm across Honey's shoulder, she responded by nuzzling his cheek.

“Okay kids, Let's get to classroom one so we can get orientation under way. After that, we'll get you all settle into your bunks and introduce you to the other kids.” Nick took Honey by the hand and the pair led the kids back towards the classrooms.
