The Adventures of Tod and Copper

Season one Episode four: Equality Bay Elementary

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The page of a book was shown with two fox's, one red and one blue, fighting to death in a brutal fashion. "Many years ago. Two races of fox's were at war. (The page expanded to show the rest of the army fighting each other) The red colored foxes, and the blue colored foxes. (The page turns to show the red foxes prevailing) The red fox army succeeded in the end. (A blue fox is shown running away with a red fox) But little did they know that one of each of their clans grew quite fond of each other. The red one, Alia. The blue one, Farius."

Alia and Farius were shown on the next page as the blue fox tried to negotiate with his King. "Farius thought since he was the most well renowned members of his clan due to everything he's done, which is told in other stories by the way, that he could reason with his leader, but the leader refused. (The King of Farius's people clan is shown spreading darkness over a town) The King spread darkness all over the land and forced his minions to fight back, forcing Farius to do something drastic."

Farius was shown in the next page with him placing a sword into some kind of rock. "So Farius did what he had to do, and sent the ones who refused to listen to reason away. (Farius was shown kissing the Alia goodbye with both of them crying) Although he had to leave his wife, and their children, he was willing to do what he knew would hurt him for the sake of his family. (Alia is shown looking over a book of all the amazing things her husband's done) To protect her children, Alia hid the truth of their father from them for the time being."

A page showed the Alia looking at her children as they were in some kind of farm house, with the oldest reading, the second oldest carrying a hay stack, and the youngest two, supposedly being twins, sitting on the haystacks, with the red fox holding a basketball and spinning it on her finger and the blue one laying on the hay stack the second oldest was carrying. "She'd hoped the truth would come someday. When they were ready. And that truth...has now come" The screen faded to black, ending the backstory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soft rock music played as a young Tod woke up in his bedroom and looked outside at the vast open world awaiting him as a male voice sang Vast Open World. "Hello there, why ya crying? It'll be, okay I promise. (Tod is shown with optimistic smile as he jumps out the window) I'm sure you'll someday find your fa-ted bliss." Tod was shown running through the forest as he looks around and enjoys the scenery, catching a vine in his mouth and swinging on it. As he landed perfectly, he saw Copper sniffing and became curious.

Tod is shown on the top of the log with the Copper coming on the other end and sniffing some more. "Hey there. (The Copper sniffs up to Tod and sees that what he was sniffing was him) I think our newfound friendship was destiny. (Tod and Copper are shown walking around the forest and getting to know each other) Hey there. (Copper laughs at a joke from Tod) Even though we aren't the same, you and me."

Tod and Copper are shown climbing a tree with the fix kit saving the Bloodhound as he's about to fall off. "Hey there. (Copper continues climbing with Tod helping him do so easier) I just know this friendship will never fade away. (Tod and Copper arrive at the top of the tree and sit on the top branch) Hey there. Hey there."

Tod was shown riding a horse with the assistance of Tyler. "Even though we don't have the same lifestyles. (Terra is shown skating away from a Hairless Mexican Dog while holding a sausage and blowing a raspberry at them) I would travel with you alone for miles. (Danny is shown looking at a cookie jar while on top of the fridge with a mischievous look on his face) We'll always be here so we'll share our laughter."

Alia was shown grabbing Danny from the fridge and scolding him softly as he tries to break free. "I know all of us can take anything and (Tod is shown sneaking Copper out of his bedroom while standing on a ladder) I know, we can strive, for our peace and harmony thrive (The fox kit is shown running into a dark force with Copper and they walk up to it) Even if, it gets tough, we'll survive, and save them all, (Tod and Copper are shown running away from the dark force) Hello there, why ya crying? It'll be, okay I promise."

Tod is shown protecting Copper from the dark force and striking it in the heart with a rock. "I'm sure you'll someday find your fa-ted bliss. (Tod sees that there's a Vixey in there and pulls them out) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (Vixey is shown to be crying with the male fox kit wiping her tear) Don't say goodbye." Tod is shown with his friends and siblings as they group up with a gray wolf pup shown leaning on a tree and looking at them from a high point in a tree, seeming to be rather lonely as the music ends.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tod was showing Vixey around his school as he led her to what he believed was the best room in the whole building. "This right here is the cafeteria. Also known as heaven, because the cooks here are gods at what they do." Tod opened up the cafeteria and revealed a bunch of empty tables with Tod putting on a blank expression as he explained that part. "Yeah, it's a lot more holy to the eyes when it's lunch time."

"I bet." Vixey replied with a laugh, and then she and Tod walked off as Vixey smiled, showing that she had a good view of what the school was about. "So two schools, you get to choose your classes like you're in college, and a cefeteria that has a second floor just so it can have a balcony, I think I saw in there. I love it!"

Tod was glad Vixey was taking a liking to the school, being quite fond of it himself. "Yeah, Equality Bay Elementary has all the school stuff you'll need to make a good name for yourself, and have fun doing it." A young red fox pup was being pinned against a wall by a Rottweiler with Tod speaking in his defense. "Drop him Xavier. It's not worth it."

Xavier saw Tod and rolled his eyes, dropping the fox pup, who accepted Tod's fist bump before walking off. Vixey was impressed. She'd never seen anyone stop a bully by just talking to them. She knew she had to find out what Tod's reputation was here, just out of curiosity. "I'm guessing you're super popular here?"

"Nah, the students here just respect me enough to know when what I say is right." Tod explained, and then he and Vixey walked off with Tod being ready for his first class. "Anyway, we should head to class now that you know the area. Science is probably the only class in school that you don't need numbers to live through and pass at the same time." Vixey nodded in understanding, having quite a bit of understanding of school herself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tod and Vixey arrived at the science lab with everyone noticing them and even a few students cheering for Tod. Vixey gave a smirk to Tod in regards to his comment on not being super popular as Tod corrected her thoughts. "I never said people called me stranger." Tod and Vixey walked past the teacher, a Golden Retriever, with Tod explaining their absence. "Sorry we're late Mrs. Goldstein. I was showing Vixey around, helping her get a gist of what this place is about."

"Hey, at least you weren't playing hooky." Mrs. Goldstein joked, and then she got started on her lecture as she held a beacon in front of the class. "Now class. As we spoke about these beacons yesterday, and why we bother putting chemicals in them, today we're going to make our first potion."

Tod sat down in his seat with excitement in his eyes and the noticed that Vixey was sitting in the back, having him write up a note and tossing it to her when Mrs. Goldstein turned around. Vixey read the note and it said 'Not a fan of crowds, huh?', with Vixey nodding her head no with a smile to confirm it. Kyrie was sitting at the next desk over and took notice as Vixey took out a camera, making her giggle as she gave a devious look to Vixey, who was confused by it, but decided to just focus on listening to the lecture.

Tod saw the camera too and wrote up another note, tossing it to Vixey, who caught it and opened it up. This one read 'I can see why you chose photography for one of your classes.' and Vixey smiled, knowing she would be able to get by with Tod in her life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vixey was shown by her locker as she put her camera in there with Kyrie walking up to her friends watching. Vixey was admiring her camera, which was an old fashion design that made those instant photos, with Kyrie leaning against the locker next to her. "So. You're the new girl." Vixey saw Kyrie and closed her locker, unsure of what to make of her until she started talking. "You must be a fan of taking photos, considering you brought your camera to a science class. You must've grown up using that old piece of crap as a hobby, is that it?"

Vixey didn't take kindly to Kyrie insulting her stuff and decided to show some backbone against her. "What do YOU think?"

"I think you should consider getting a higher piece of equipment." Kyrie took out her phone and showed Vixey some of the selfies she took on it with her friends, being quite proud of some of them. "You don't have to be stuck in the retro zone to make decent equipment. You should really consider upgrading with that in mind."

"I'll pass, thanks." Vixey responded, leaving Kyrie to give a blunt look as Vixey finished her words. "If being put into whatever the current zone is makes me an entitled snob, it's deffinetely not for me."

Kyrie scoffed as she walked past Vixey, looking back at her as she spoke with a devious smile. "Just try not to hit on Mr. Griffinstone. You wouldn't stand a chance." Kyrie walked off with her friends walking past Vixey as well, leaving Vixey frustrated as she looked at her scheduele. She saw that she had to wait until fifth period to get to Mr. Griffinstone's class, so she'd have to keep her camera to herself until then. "That rich brat wants the current zone, then I won't satisfy her needs."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A baseball field was shown with Copper getting slammed against a wall with Terra walking up to him with a frustrated look on her face. "Pick up the pace Copper. I know your mind doesn't focus on sports all that much, but if we wanna win the big tournament coming up we have to play it hard." A fast looking German Shepherd about Terra's age smacked the ball with his bat while using his mind as Terra smiled in awe at the sport. "I still have no idea how this whole thing works but I'm always for it when it comes up."

Copper stood up as Tod showed up with Vixey with the two of them walking up to Copper and Terra as Tod cracked a joke. "Terra playin the role of the bat again?"

"As always." Copper replied with Terra rolling her eyes while smiling as Vixey looked confused and Copper explained the situation. "Terra can be pretty hard on her teammates when it comes to big competitions." Vixey was shown splashing water in the tired face of a Cockapoo, making her go back out there, which she did with reluctance. "See?"

"Ya wanna know the weirdest part? She's my sister." Tod pointed out, with Vixey being surprised, as Tod had never mentioned that before. The three of them walked onto the field however with Vixey hanging from a pull up bar on her legs and pulling her head up to her legs. As the three of them watched her, she took notice and gave them a blunt look as Tod commented on it with a smirk on his face. "Hey now, you can't just hang out while everyone's hard at work."

Terra jumped down and faced Tod, not appriciating his wise cracks. "For your information Tod, I'm stretching my body the best I can so I can start running after I hit the ball. And I'd appriciate less jokes, thank you. (Walks off) Your sense of humor always consfused me." Terra knew she and Terra would get quite an interesting chemistry in the future as she then shouted to the other players. "Pick up the pace people! This tournament isn't gonna win itself ya know!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vixey arrived in the girls locker room, being quite tired from the workout Terra gave everyone in class. When she sat down in front of her gym locker, she wiped her forehead and breathed heavily, finding that the workout wasn't her favorite in the world. Though, that could be partially due to the fact that she never really worked out at all before she came to the school. She saw Terra talking to the German Shepherd from before, catching onto the fact that she looked really fond of him, even seeming to be cautious about something as she flinched.

Vixey smiled as she opened up her locker, realizing that she didn't have any gym clothes yet, due to being new here. "Oh yeah, I gotta pick those up at the office first." Vixey closed her locker door as she noticed Terra and the German Shepherd walking away from each other with smiles as Terra then started face palming herself. "Boy trouble?" Terra flinched at Vixey's question, trying to think of a cover up before Vixey giggled and replied. "If it makes you feel any better, I think he likes you too."

Terra scoffed, but then smiled softly, knowing that Vixey's words were genuine, even if they could be inaccurate. "Thanks newbie. Vixey, is it? I think you're gonna find your own way to fit right in at this school." Vixey was grateful for the words Terra just gave her as she then explained her situation. "The dude I was talking to is named Vince. I don't know if it's weird to like a different species, but I really hope he likes me back. (Flinches) Don't think I'm a sissy though; I don't do that scrapbooking lipstick wearing trash."

Vixey laughed a bit as she confirmed that she didn't think any less of Terra from this, knowing that the two of them would get along just fine. "Don't worry, this is perfectly normal. You just don't know how to cope with it yet. God knows I don't." Terra started to warm up to Vixey, walking off with a smile as Vixey lied down as she thought to herself about the workout. 'That kid can give one heck of a workout, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy her company."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A math class was shown with Tod, Copper, and Vixey all attending and Tod was shown to be sleeping next to a Dalmatian. Tod was pretending to eat something in his sleep with the Dalmatian laughing as he sat next to him, making sure not to make it loud enough for the teacher to hear. Kyrie was writing some kind of note, throwing it over to Copper, who opened it up and it read 'You got Veronica's cheat notes?' with Copper sighing and pulling a paper out of his bag. He crumpled it up and tossed it over to Kyrie, who gave him a thumbs up. "Thanks."

Copper saw that Tod was sleeping and decided to help him focus in class for once, taking out another piece of paper and crumpling it up. He threw it over to the Dalmatian, who looked at Copper, who then signalled him to give it to Tod. The Dalmatian nodded and handed the paper to Tod, tapping his head and having him wake up. The Dalmatian whispered to him so he didn't think he was the one who gave it to him. "It's from that kid who sits on the other side of the room."

"Okay, thanks." Tod replied, and he opened up the note as he saw that it read 'May wanna focus so you don't get sent to detention.'. Tod gave Copper a thumbs up with Vixey then shown to be sitting next to the Golden Retriever Kyrie was with when she invited Tod to go to the swamp with her for a party. Kyrie tossed the cheat notes up to her, indicating that she was Veronica, and she caught them with Vixey being curious as she looked at it. Veronica got annoyed and looked away from her with Vixey deciding to focus on what the teacher was saying.

The bell rang with Tod being excited, as that meant it was time for lunch. "Finally." Tod hopped out of his seat as he waved to the Dalmatian. "Later Blitz."

"Later Tod." Blitz saw Tod talking with Copper as they left the room, glad that Tod finally found the perfect match for his first friend.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tod was getting his food with his tray shown to be full of all kinds of good stuff from pizza to burgers to chicken pot pies. When he walked through the cafeteria, who walked around and saw Copper and Vixey talking with Copper listening to Vixey explain her situation with Kyrie at her locker. "And then she just, walked away. I don't have any idea what it was all about, (Tod sits next to Copper) but I hope it wasn't anything personal."

"You talkin about Kyrie?" Tod asked, leading to Vixey being surprised that he heard about that. "Kyrie was talking to Veronica about it before we hit the gym. Don't take it personally. She's just too insecure to realize just how popular she really is, so she's gonna go bankrupt as soon as she finds out you're her boss in the future."

Vixey laughed a bit at Tod's words with Kyrie heard to be standing right next to Tod. "Oh, I wasn't aware I knew someone who could tell the future." Tod looked at Kyrie, who looked quite annoyed at his words. "You might as well watch your mouth Tod. I don't have time for your trashy jokes."

"Real cute Kyrie." Tod replied, indicating that he wasn't going to take Kyrie's words standing down. "You still mad cause I turned down your swamp party offer?"

"You'll have to have fun with us sometime Tod. It's inevitable." Kyrie assured Tod, indicating that she felt he wouldn't be able to resist it for long. "Let me know how having two friends works out for ya."

"Talk to the butt when it starts making the gas sister. You'll find my response somewhere in there." Kyrie scoffed and walked off with Tod digging into one of his burgers as Vixey looked at him, not surprised that he stood up to her like that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History class was shown with the teacher, who was a male Chocolate Labrador, was talking about the history of Farius and the good he did for the world. "And when Farius rose up, he flew past the flame boar and slashed it's eyes to blind it and save the villagers. It was pretty gruesome, but we weren't there at the time, so if I find a copy of a movie that shows the tale I'll let you watch it."

Tod was shown to be taking notes, which Copper took a surprise to and even thought to himself about it with shock. 'Tod taking notes? That's a first.' Copper thought about tossing a note over to Tod, but felt that just this once, it could wait until after class, since Tod was so invested in what was being heard.

Vixey was sitting next to Tod as she saw the notes he was taking with Tod showing them to her, glad that she took an interest in what she was doing. "I recently found out that Farius was my father, and now I'm doing everything I can to learn about all the adventures he's been on." Vixey took immense interest to that, having some intrigue in the tales of Farius herself. "I think everyone's heard at least one bit of info on him by now."

"I heard some stuff about him too. My sisters were obsessed with him." Vixey started to think about her family, hoping she could save them one day. "Do you think we can save them someday?"

"Does a cat have nine lives?" Tod whispered, and Vixey saw a beam of hope for that as Tod then saw that there was a new tale being told to the class. "Oh, new story. (Grabs his notes) I gotta write this down."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tod was at his locker, putting his notes on Farius right at the back with Copper walking up to him and striking a conversation. "So I saw you taking notes for the first time since the months I've seen you in our classes, and I've been watching you sleep in class, get tired in class, or just generally not pay attention in class for months. This Farius stuff must really have you hooked now."

"You're right it does. I'm surprised I didn't start taking these notes sooner." Tod showed a clear fondness for the history of Farius, wanting to see how much he could learn about him. "And if Farius really IS still alive, then maybe someday we can find a way to open a portal to the world he went into. Or better yet, we can give him a portal to this world so he can live with his family again."

"Well I'm not surprised. Being his second born son is a big deal." Copper pointed out, and he and Tod went off to walk to fifth period together. "Then again, being any of his children is a big deal, so even if you were his youngest I'd find it admirable." Tod smiled with a nod, knowing he and Copper could find Farius one day. "You're thinking about finding him someday, aren't you."

"You got it." Tod was already thinking of a bunch of ways he could find Farius, knowing he'd need Copper and Vixey's help for some of them. "Oh, I have a whole bunch of ideas. And if you and Vixey wanna help me with some of them, you're more than welcome to. I need all the paws I can get with at least half of them." Copper nodded, being more than willing to help Tod find his father, knowing it had to be important to him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A photography class was shown with Mr. Griffinstone, who was revealed to be an actual griffin, was making a lecture about photography. "It's all a part of theming. For example. Someone in here, could for no reason, bring us to a dark room, and capture us in a moment of innocence and desperation." Vixey was watching as Veronica threw some kind of paper ball at a Pomeranian mix from across the room from her, leading to the Pomeranian sighing as she ignored it and continue to listen. This made Vixey concerned, but she decided to wait until after class to ask.

Mr. Griffinstone continued to lecture the class, speaking about a moment that he felt everyone would be interested in. "And I hope you're all intending on making an entry in the Photographer Heroes contest." It certainly caught Vixey's interest. "At the end of the month, I will announce someone to come with me to San Fransisco to go to the mueseum, where their photo will be placed for all to admire. It won't be by votes, but instead, will be by the photo that impresses me the most."

Vixey drifted off for a moment and decided to get a start on perfecting her art in the photography world. She grabbed her camera with Tod seeing it and catching onto what Vixey was doing with Mr. Griffinstone shushing the class softly as Vixey took her selfie. "I believe Vixey has just taken what you kids call a...selfie. A dumb word you for a wonderful photographic tradition. And Vixey...just might have a gift." Vixey smiled as Mr. Griffinstone continued his lecture. "Of course, your generation wasn't the first to use the images for 'selfie-expression.' Sorry, I couldn't resist."

Vixey put her camera to the side as Mr. Griffinstone continued to lecture everyone. "The point remains that the portraiture has always been a vital aspect of art, and photography, for as long as it's been around. Now Vixey, (Vixey flinches) since you've captured our interest with your sudden selfie moment and clearly want to join the discussion, please tell us the name of the process that gave birth to the first self-portraits."

Vixey was surprised to be put into the spotlight like that, knowing she couldn't humiliate herself in front of the whole class. "You're asking me? Well...my knowledge has been a little rusty since I moved here. Let me think. Um..."

Vixey was unable to think of anything with Mr. Griffinstone getting slightly frustrated. "Either you know this, or not Vixey. Is there anyone in here who knows their stuff?"

Kyrie raised her paw, more than ready to show of her knowledge with this sort of thing. "The Daguerreian Process was invented by a French painter named Louis Daguerre around 1830. Louis Dagueer created these as "daguerreotypes", a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective style, like a mirror. [Turns to Vixey] Now you're totally stuck in the Retro Zone. Sad face."

"Thank you Kyrie." Mr. Griffinstone said with proudness, making Vixey feel embarrassed to have been outclassed like that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bell rang with class ending as Mr. Griffinstone reminding his classmates about the contest. "Don't forget to send an entry for the Photographer Heroes contest. Nicole, don't feel afraid to show your skills. You've got what it takes. Kyrie, I'm still waiting for everyone elses entries before I judge yours. Maria and Martin, no need to mess around over there. Nick, don't slack off on this Tod, I know you won't dissapoint me. Copper, I'm sure your entry will turn out great. Veronica, I'm still waiting for your entry, and yes Vixey, I see you pretending not to see me."

Vixey sighed, walking over to the Pomeranian mix, much to her surprise as Vixey struck a conversation. "Hey. Nicole, is it? I saw Veronica throw that paper ball at you. There wasn't anything cruel on it, was there?"

"I couldn't even be bothered to read it." Nicole admitted, being too tired of all this stress on her shoulder to read anything from Kyrie and Veronica. "I should've never gone to that Portal Club party. Now I'm a walking sex joke."

Vixey started to feel bad about something she did the other day, being relieved she didn't know Nicole then. "Yeah, I saw the whole thing three days ago while I was binge watching The Legend of Kion at my apartment. If I was there and saw what was happening, I would've totally brought you to the hospital."

Nicole smiled, being against the fact that Vixey watched the video, but glad to know she could rely in her. "Thanks Vixey. That means a lot. Especially since it's coming from someone I just met."

"I know what you mean." Vixey replied, and then she had an idea for something she and Nicole could do together. "Wanna head over to my place after school and whine about life?"

"Maybe some other time. I've got a crazy test I have to study for."

"You know where I'll be after class when the time comes."

Vixey walked off with Nicole packing up her things and saw that Tod and Copper were gone, feeling she could catch up with them without much issue. She instead decided to check in with Mr. Griffinstone, feeling like she could get some more info on the Photographer Heroes contest, walking up to him as Kyrie was talking about something. "Mr. Griffinstone, can we talk? It's about the Photographer Heroes contest."

"Um, can you not see we're talking right now?" Kyrie interrupted, annoyed at Vixey's sudden entrance. "And by the way, random entrances are MY forte."

"No need to escelate the situation Kyrie. Besides. I'd hate to leave someone without the information they need on the Photographer Heroes contest." Mr. Griffinstone turned to Vixey, being more than happy to answer whatever questions she had. "Go ahead Vixey."

Vixey got ready to ask her question, hoping it didn't sound too stupid. "I hope this doesn't sound like it's wasting your time or anything, but I was wondering where the museum the winner's photo would be placed is located in."

"Ah, yes. Some students got confused about that one last year." Vixey was relieved to hear that, wiping her forehead as Mr. Griffinstone told her the museum location. "The museum is being held in Casteliana city, a place that while exceptionally crowded, is a good place to go for vacation."

Vixey was glad she didn't look stupid with her question, not that she cared what Kyrie thought about her anyway. "Thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind."

Kyrie spoke up as Vixey walked past her, being more than confident that she could floor her. "Too bad you don't have a chance at winning. (Vixey rolls her eyes) Photos from the Retro Zone don't win." Vixey stepped outside of class and took out her Ipod, putting her headphones into her ears as she turned on some soft rock music. She then walked off and got ready for her last class of the day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tod, Copper, and Vixey were shown to be exiting the school with Vixey being baffled at how easy it was. "Wow, that's one class I won't miss this weekend. English was always easy for me, no question."

"Yeah, it's not really all that hard when you get down to it." Tod admitted, especially since he was way better in that class than he was in most of the others. "I mean, we already speak English."

"You guys said it. I'm almost sad it's that simple." Copper joined in, knowing that he would be able to ace that class without any trouble. "If there's a class anyone can pass, it's that one. At least if they know the language enough to do worksheets on it."

Tod was glad to be heading home, knowing a good place for the three of them to hang out after school. "Ya know Vixey, I showed Copper this lake one time a few days ago. Maybe you'd wanna head there with us?"

"Sure. I bet it'd be something to enjoy." Vixey was anticipating the day she saw the lake, hoping to get an alone moment with Tod. That, she was hoping to get for a couple of reasons at the moment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vixey was in her apartment as she thought to herself about the day she had, being quite doubtful about her skills as a photographer. She walked over to her fridge and pulled out some water and a can of soda, walking over to the couch right after and sitting down on it. 'Okay. No one can see my meltdown but me.' Vixey splashed the water on her face, opening the soda can and drinking from it. She then got a call from Tod, answering it and hoping it was something good. Though, knowing Tod, it had to be something worth enjoying. "Yeah Tod?"

Tod was shown on the other line, being right outside his house as Terra and Danny were shown to be fighting in the background. "Hey Vixey. So me and Copper are at my place, and I randomly decided that we should show you the lake now. Make sure to get your camera ready, cause it's a sight."

Vixey was more than ready for Tod's request, grabbing her camera from her pack, but then deciding to take her pack as well, not wanting to risk her camera getting wet. "You got it. I can't wait to see this."

"That's strange, cause I CAN wait for you to get here." Tod replied with a playful smirk on his face, making Vixey roll her eyes while smiling as she walked out of her apartment. "And don't worry about dinner. My mom will have us covered."

"Okay, thanks for the tip." Vixey hung up and headed off, ready to see this lake Tod and Copper mentioned, knowing it had to be something amazing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tod, Copper, and Vixey were at the lake with Derek catching a fish no sweat while standing on the edge of the log. As she looked at the water, she got ready to take a picture of it, snapping one and letting it reflect on the light when it was finished so she could see it. Tod got a look at the photo and really liked the framework of it, finding that it was a good capture of the lake. "I know pretty much anyone can take a picture of a lake, but I know I'd wanna swim in this when I saw it. Good thing I already know it exists."

Vixey looked at the photo and sighed, hoping her talent was good enough for her to win the Photographer Heroes contest with Tod comforting her as he put a paw on her shoulder. "If it makes ya feel any better, I'm fine with having a selfie queen."

Vixey raised an eyebrow towards Tod as Derek set a fish down beside her with Copper walking up to them and sitting down with them. "Eat up Vixey. The fish from this lake is as fresh as it can get."

Vixey picked up the fish and took a bite out of it, loving the taste as it soothed her mouth. Copper knew the feeling, expressing it as Vixey swallowed her bite. "I felt the same way when I had my first fish here. You'd be surprised at how satisfying it is to catch one yourself." Vixey continued eating the fish with Copper getting a look at her lake picture. "Cool photo."

Vixey looked at her picture and smiled, glad that her talent could still be appreciated. "Yeah. Thanks Copper." An illustration of Vixey admiring her photo was shown as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An instrumental version of the main theme played during the credits.
