FOUND AU; Marcus Starts School

 

Vanna: Zach and I have...come to an agreement that we believe Marcus is ready to start school.

Zach: Admittedly we were a little nervous-

Vanna: A little? Also, we?

Zach: A-alright...some of us were...more nervous than others.

Vanna: Zach felt we should hold off for an extra month or two. At one point he actually suggested waiting until Yule break was over before allowing Marcus to attend classes.

Zach: Well he's! I mean, he's gonna be the only human at school! I...I don't want the other mammals to give him grief over that! *Grumbles* I just...I don't want them gawkin' at my boy like he's an exhibit at the reptile house!

Vanna: We've already talked this over with Marcus, and should any of his classmates or the other students bully him, he could turn to his teachers as well as us to try and resolve the problem.

Zach: Tellin' teacher's just makes it worse. *Shakes head* It don't do anythin' meaninful *sigh*

Vanna: Goofball...

Zach: I just wish I could be there to help him. *Sighs* When me and my brothers were growin' up, we at least had each other to lean on in school. Anyone picked on one of us, the Hunter pack dealt with it. Even Yuri didn't stand fer other students pickin' on us.

Vanna: Because he saw that as his job. *Chuckles*

Zach: Well...I mean...yeah...but...Look the point is I'd just feel better if I could be there. At least fer the first few weeks...just to make sure things go smoothly.

Vanna: You already booked us for a 'police education' seminar for his class.

Zach: Yeah, but that's one day....for like an hour.

Vanna: I don't think they'd be willing to host the same seminar every day for a month Goofball.

Zach: Hmm...maybe I could try my paw at applyin' to be the school's baseball coach?

Vanna: Goofball...with Marcus'...er...talent? I think you'd be in full traction by Yule.

Zach: Oh! I got it, I'll just disguise myself as a student fer a few weeks an-.

Vanna: If you don't think for a second that if you do that, I will absolutely drag you out of that school in a firemam's carry, no matter how big a scene it makes! I don't care if it makes the local paper Zach, I swear I'll do it.

Zach: ALRIGHT! Alright geeze....didn't even let me finish...

Vanna: I think that was for the best, for both of our sakes...

FOUND AU ASK; Lily's Great Pie Caper!

 

Dorian: Proud? Are y'all kiddin' me? *Chuckles* I'm over the moon! She-.

Vernon: It weren't... I mean anyone coulda' put together who done it. Right? It don't mean-

Dorian: Anyone coulda'!? Oh please, she wasn't just ahead o' the rest of you boys, she was ahead o' me too! Granted, I wasn't exactly...lookin' to deeply into who ate a pie.

Vernon: Pa, please...

Dorian: And the way she explained how she figured it out, goin' over all her leads and their alibi's before tellin' revealin' it was Qali! That's classic etectives intuition! Y'all can't even teach th-

Vernon: MY Pup is NOT going to be a DETECTIVE, er a POLICE OFFICER! GOT THAT!? She's my little princess, and that's all. T-This cop stuff is just a phase is all...

Dorian: I'd say the princess stuff is a phase Vern. Y'all can't exactly grow up to be a career princess, but with a mind as sharp as that, at her age? She-.

Vernon: Then she can be a scientist! Er' a mathmatician' er' somethin'!

Dorian: Vernon...y'all don't by any chance remember what my Pa did to me, do ya?

Audrey: Or what yer Pa did to you?

Dorian: Y-yeah...

Vernon: *Whining* B-but I know she don't wanna be a cop! I know it's just a phase!

Audrey: But if she does, are y'all gonna do the right thang? Or will y'all be a stubborn as yer ol' Pa?

Dorian: HEY! I...I mean I got over it...

Audrey: Mhh-Hmm...

Dorian: Eventually!

Audrey: About twenty years too late.

Dorian: It'd be 'too late' if we hadn't mended thangs!

Audrey: Look, Puppy, I just want y'all to be careful. I don't want y'all stiflin' the pup's dreams because yer scared, or y'all had a bad experience. Y'all need to be understanding, and accept what Lily wants to do with her life when the time comes. If she wants to be a cop, tryin' to push her away from it'll only push her away from you.

Vernon: I KNOW! L-Look...If...and this is a big ol' if, she decides she...wants...to...maybe be a police officer....when she's eighteen. I'll...I...I will try to support her...As long as the rest of y'all ain't pushin' her into it!

Dorian: What're we gonna do?

Vernon: Keep brainwashin' her like y'all are already!

Dorian: Brainwashin'!? Y'all sound nuttier than yer lil' brother! I'll have y'all know...

Vernon and Dorian: *Bickering Continues*

Audrey: Y'all Hunter boys, always so damn stubborn...*Chuckles* At least I know Dawn will be around to keep y'all in check...
