Ch.12-Revelations and Apologies

Judy was working with her family on their carrot farm. She was so down as she felt so guilty for ruining the lives of all the predators in Zootopia. Her parents seemed concerned so tried to cheer her up.

Stu: Hey there, Jude... Jude the Dude. Remember that one? How're we doing?

Judy:I'm fine.

Bonnie:You are not fine, your ears are droopy.

Judy:Why did I think I could make a difference?

Stu:Because you're a trier, that's why.

Judy:Oh, I tried. And I made life so much worse for so many innocent predators. And whats even worse, the friends I made, they helped me through thick and thin to crack this case, and I betrayed them.

The honking of a horn was heard.

Stu:Well you didn't make things harder for everyone. Speak of the devil, Right on time.

A van pulled up that said "Gideon Greys Baked good stuff"

Judy:Is that... Gideon Grey?

It was Gideon Grey, her childhood bully.

Stu:Yep! Sure it is. We work with him now.

Bonnie:He's our partner, and we never would have considered it had you not opened our minds.

Stu:That's right, I mean Gid's turned into one of the top pastry chefs in the Tri-Burrows.

Judy was amazed.

Judy:That's... That's really cool, you guys.

She then walked up to Gideon.

Judy:Gideon Grey. I'll be darned.

Gideon Grey: Hey, Judy. I'd just like to say, I'm sorry for the way I behaved in my youth. (Stammering)  I-I-I had a lot of self-doubt and it manifested itself in the form of unchecked rage and aggression. I was a major jerk.

He took out a tray of pies.

Gideon:Anyhow, I-I brought y'all these pies.

Three of Judy's siblings were running around until they came near some strange flowers. Stu stopped them.

Stu:Hey, kids! Don't you run through that Midnicampum holicithius!

Gideon: Well, now there's a four-dollar word, Mr. H, my family always just called them Night Howlers.

Judy was stunned at what she heard.

Judy:I'm sorry, what did you say?

Stu:Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use 'em to keep the bugs off the produce, but I don't like the little ones going near 'em on account of what happened to your Uncle Terry.

Bonnie:Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts.

Stu:He bit the dickens out of your mother.

Judy began to put the pieces together.

Judy:A bunny can go savage.

Bonnie:Savage? Well, that's a strong word, but it did hurt like the devil.

Stu:Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your arm. I'd call that savage!

Judy thought back to what Manchas had said about the Night Howlers.

Judy:Night howlers aren't wolves, they're flowers. The flowers are making the predators go savage. That's it! That's what I've been missing!

She went up to the family truck.

Judy:Oh, keys, keys, keys, keys, hurry, come on!

Stu tossed her the keys.

Judy:Thank you! I love you, bye!

She then drove off in a hurry. Her parents and Gideon were bewildered.

Stu:You catch any of that, Bon?

Bonnie:Not one bit.

Gideon:Well, that makes me feel a little bit better, I thought she was talking in tongues or something.

Judy drove to the edge of downtown and found Nick's van. She was surprised to see Finnick.

Finnick:Who is it?!

His expression softened when he saw it was Judy.

Judy:I need to find Nick and The Bad Guys.

Finnick told her that he went with The Bad Guys to L.A. Thankfully, L.A wasn't to far. She felt super small compared to quite a few of the humans. She eventually found The Bad Guys's hideout. Shark answered the door, though he almost immediately slammed the door in her face. She eventually got in, though no one was happy to see her.

Judy:Guys! Night howlers aren't wolves, they're toxic flowers! I think someone is targeting predators on purpose and making them go savage.

Wolf:Wow. Isn't that interesting?

None of them were looking at her.

Judy:Wait! Uh, wait, listen! I-I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't blame you - I wouldn't forgive me either. I was ignorant, and irresponsible, and small-minded. But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes. I have to fix this. But I can't do it without any of you.

None of them looked at her still.

Judy:And... And after we're done, you can all hate me.

She began to tear up.

Judy:And... and that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you guys. You helped me with this and I repaid you by stabbing all of you in the back...

Judy was full on crying.

Judy:And you can walk away, knowing that you were right all along - I really am just a dumb bunny.

Everything was silent, until...

Pen:I really am just a dumb bunny. I really am just a dumb bunny.

They all turned to her grinning.

Nick:Don't worry, Carrots. I'll let you erase it... in 48 hours.

Judy began crying tears of joy and smiled.

She and Nick hugged as she wept.

Wolf: Okay, oh, you bunnies, you're so emotional. There we go, deep breath. Are you- are you just trying to steal the pen? Is that what this is?

She playfully tried to grab the pen.

Julie:We were angry at first, but we knew that you never really meant all those things.

Nick:Yeah. You are standing on my tail, though. Off, off-off-off.

Judy got off.

Judy:Oh, I'm sorry.

Nick joined Judy in her truck and The Bad Guys got in their car, and they all drove back to Zootopia. Nick kept eating the blueberries that were in the truck.

Nick: Ooh, I thought you guys only grew carrots!

Judy:We are gonna follow the Night howlers.

Snake:And we're gonna do that how exactly?

Judy:Nick, know this guy? It's the weasel Ringtail and I caught.

She showed Nick the picture.

Nick:Uh-huh. I told you, I know everybody!

Piranha:Looks like its weasel season.
