Found AU ask; Just a typical, ordinary, average School.

Vernon: Does my experience count in this here discussion?

Zach: The fact that y'all were oblivious to the existence of stuff like this in middle and high school don't count fer squat...

Vernon: An 'espionage club', really? I still can't believe anyone would cook up somethin' like that...

Gus: Realistically it's just a fancy name for what was ostensivley 'puzzle solving club'. Espionage Club just sounds cooler.

Vernon: *Glares at Gus* 

Gus: What? I already told you I almost joined...but founding the BnB club was a task in and of itself, I didn't have time for any other clubs.

Dorian: It's what I'd expect out of an inner city school...although it still goes on out her in the country...that kinda stuff I mean...I just don't think it's as prevalent.

Vernon: Which is why we're lookin' into movin'....

Yuri: Please, that ain't gonna matter Vern. We all know this already, so why don't you? Trouble follows that lil' gal...You could move her all the way into the mountains and home school her exclusively and she'd manage to stumble onto an illegal coca leaf farm while playin' outside...if you pick up and move, that stuff is just gonna tag along fer the ride...*Chuckles*

Vernon: *Groans* Sometimes I really hate you Yuri...

Yuri: Hate me? Er' hate that I'm right?

Vernon: *huffs* Hate that yer right...

Wade: As fer what kinda techniques she picked up from us...I mean she picked up lots o' little stuff from all of us before Vernon put a cap on us talkin' police business around her...which, by the way, how's that workin' out?

Vernon: It hasn't helped much at all iffin' I'm bein' honest...*The wolf sighs, his tail and ears sagging sharply.*

Wade: I had a feelin'...

Zach: But the mammal she squeezed the most out of in terms of police techniques would be Pa...and to be fair, even what she picked up from us was stuff we learned from him so...

Dorian: Yeah, I didn't teach her that haymaker takedown though...I'm purty sure that was all Yuri...

Yuri: Well, iffin' I'm bein honest I picked that up from Ada's sister...*Chuckles*, although she was playin' her wrestler character at the time...Damn that was a great match...

Vernon: That's not the only move she picked up from one o' you...Dawn showed me some cuttin' room floor clips last week, and damned if I didn't see my lil' miss and her friend Paul sparrin', and she up and goes and pulls some sand out of her pocket and throws it in his eyes!

Zach: *Laughs* Rut me, no way!

Wade: Was Paul hurt?

Vernon: Naw, he was wearin' some of those science class goggles...he was fine...but they were literally practicin' deployin' 'pocket sand'. *Shakes head*

Yuri: See, that's what happens when y'all force us to shut our traps about somethin' yer pup is interested in...she ends up copyin' her Uncle Ully out o 'desperation...

Zach: Desperation er' not, I can't argue it ain't an effective tactic...*Chuckles*

FOUND AU Ask; Judy and Nick on 'Hall Monitors'

Judy: I wouldn't worry about it...I would have done the same sort of thing when I was her age...in fact, I did...we just...it was early internet so we couldn't share anything the way kits can now...

Nick: *Chuckles* Oh that's cute...I'm trying to picture that...it's got to be adorable...

Judy: Psh...watch that 'c' word mister...

Nick: *Places his paws up defensively* Hey it was an accidental slip...I wasn't thinking. *Snickers*

Judy: Granted I didn't have the level of production value Lily's friends could pull off...and I was a one mammal crew and performer...and all of my stuff was...well staged...but still I took it very seriously.

Nick: Please, please tell me these home movies are still floating around. As your mate, I feel I have a right to see them...especially considering you've seen me as a kit in the bathtub. It's only fair.

Judy: *Laughs* I'll text Mom and see what she can scrounge up...but I mean, the tapes our in our basement, and that place....it's like the warehouse from Indiana Bones...Good luck finding anything on your own...

Nick: Alright, alright...we're getting off track right? haven't even really answered the question have we?

Judy: Oh, yes, well. *Ahem* Like I said, I wouldn't be too concerned...it just seems like a fun little project for her and her friends to do together...and I mean...Lily is very...she's...weeell...

Nick: Some sort of detective-savant? Possibly even clairvoyant? 

Judy: Yes...as much as I feel bad when it comes to...trying to soothe and downplay Dawn and especially Vernon's concerns, she's just got such a knack for police work. *shakes head* She honestly blows my mind with the cases she stumbles-no, not even, she solves. It wouldn't be fair to make it sound like she solves them with dumb luck...she merely finds them by luck and solves them through actual skill and aptitude. *Laughs* Compared to me as a kit, she's is leagues beyond, and she's only going to improve as she gets older...

Nick: That said, it's hard to argue for encouraging her knowing what a social pariah the Hunter-Bellwether family is due to Dawn's past and her relationship. They have enough enemies as it is without Lily accidentally creating more out of sometimes really hardened criminals...it's just putting a bigger target on their back...

Judy: Yeah...it's...I mean it's complicated...but Lily is...she's a force unto herself...she's such a natural...and to stifle her just...I mean it just seems like a recipe for a very unhappy adult...

Nick: And loads of therapy...although considering her parents she was probably going to need that already...

Judy: NICK!

Found AU ask; Interviewing Bogo on thawed cold cases

 

Bogo: *clears throat* In the interest of protecting the identities of the parties involved as well as those who may or may not be underage from any sort of future targeting by relations to these criminal elements, I can neither confirm nor deny any involvement in these cases by 'middle-schoolers' as you called them.

I will only go on to state that a talented volunteer team, whose services were unsolicited by any currently active branch of the ZPD or Zootopian Military Reserve, proved to be a valuable asset in terms of bringing to our attention pressing information that allowed the proper authorities to step in and do their job. And while we don't condone just how involved these particular mammals got with the cases you listed, we expect all diligent citizens of our fair city to report suspicious activity or recognized criminals to us so that it can be properly investigated.

And finally, while we have made...significant leaps within the last few months regarding several arguably cold cases the ZPD had been struggling with, make no mistake that the actions of 'middle schoolers' in no way *cough* *Dabs brow with a hoof* Pardon me. As I was saying...there were no 'middle schoolers' involved in said breakthroughs discovered regarding these cases. Most of these revelations can be attributed to our pair of star officers, Luietanant Hopps and Officer Wilde, who cracked these cases with diligent, unceasing and tireless work...

*Places hoof to his forehead and swabs.*

And certainly not by a seven-year-old junior detective who happened to be sleeping over at the home of Lieutenant Hopps for a weekend and in fact...*Cough* stumbled into Lieutenant Hopp's office while she was sleeping, studied the files left out, and cracked the cases herself as...some rumors may have suggested...

Leanne Stripesly: I...actually hadn't heard that rumor...

Bogo: *Nervously* Oh it's out there! *Cough* I've heard it...I'm surprised you haven't!*Chuckles awkwardly* Ridiculous isn't it...really... nine-year-old solving cold cases...Pah...*Shakes head and begins to mumble* If those cases had ended up on my desk I could have solved them just as easily as she did...

Leanna Stripesly: I'm sorry...what was that Chief?

Bogo: As easily as Hopps solved them! *Laughs uncomfortably* I mean, I do have to leave some cases for my officers to solve after all...can't keep them all to myself...I *laughs* I don't have that kind of time...

Clawhauser: *Leaning in and whispering to Bogo.* Pull up sir...it's time to pull up.

Bogo: *Grumbles quietly* It was time to pull up several minutes ago... I'm already a debris field...

Clawhauser: *Still whispering* Oh, and Judy called, she says 'she' solved another one...

Bogo: *slaps hoof over his face* Simba save us...

Found AU Ask; Lily and the Oribint Express Caper

 

Vernon: In all seriousness, we need to look into pullin' our pups from that school and movin' 'em to somewhere else...

Dawn: Puppy...

Vernon: No, I mean it! Underground Rock Candy Rings, Soda Speakeasy's...now a dang...I mean 'Espionage club?' I ain't never even heard of an 'espionage club' till that day...then I get to hear about how oh 'Val's pa was in one', er' 'Oh they invited Marcus to one'!? My school wasn't like that a t'all...

Dawn: You didn't have afterschool programs or clubs?

Vernon: Sure we did! Like we had them mathlete's, and chess club...band...Ranger Scouts. I was in Gus' BnB club. Most mischief we ever saw was pranks and petty crimes o' vandalism aimed at the teachers...

Dawn: Puppy, I mean...you didn't...well we didn't have many friends growing up...maybe you just...didn't see a lot of it?

Vernon: Surely my Pa would'a mentioned candy smugglers and teachers with all sorts a crazy criminal mastermind schemes at some point when talkin' to me and my brothers about local cases'...We need to pull our pups out o' there ASAP, maybe move up near Ma and Pa, and send 'em to a nice rural school...

Dawn: Puppy, we agreed you wouldn't stifle Lily...

Vernon: This ain't about stiflin' her 'police instincts', this is about protectin' them pups, especially her, from gettin' inta real trouble...

Dawn: I suppose that's fair...we aren't exactly doing any favors to our family by allowing our personal list of enemies to grow by a few more mammals every week...sometimes dangerous ones at that...Maybe we need to have a talk with her...though you have to admit watching lily crack that case in person was pretty thrilling.

Vernon: *huffs*

Dawn: You could see the shine behind her eyes, the little gears turning as she pieced it together. She looked...well to say delighted would be wrong...more so...'in her element' I guess...

Vernon: I guess...*Sighs* Anyway...to er...reign things in with a more...upbeat question, it was great to see Tim again. And to catch him datin' a wolfess at that. *Chuckles* I guess my family left a purty big impact on him.

Dawn: More like your mother...seriously, change the fur and eye color and boom, it's just a young Audrey. *Giggles* Even the story about how she pursued him was pretty much beat for beat how Audrey pursued your father.

Vernon: At least I'm not thinkin' that's gonna culminate with someone's Pa catchin' Tim and Alex foolin' around in a pie-sellin' stall. Tim don't seem the type to pull a stunt like that...

Dawn: *Laughs* But Alex does...give it time...

FOUND AU Ask; Yuri and Ada; Yuri's Tears

 

Yuri: Absolutely not! I just...I had somethin' in my eyes is all.

Ada: Yeah, tears. Cause you was bawlin' like a pup over dat picture.

Yuri: Stop tryin' to make me look bad in public! Y'all know I didn't cry!

Ada: Oh please, youse can't lie to me! I was standin' right dere! You was all weepy, and you was whimperin'!

Yuri: I was tryin' to clear my throat...cause...er...I musta got some crayon dust in there from her little drawin'...I-It's why my eyes were glassy too! Mu-Must'a been allergic er' somethin'...

Ada: *Cackles* Hard to mistake a whine for a cough dere mookie, especially since coughs is short and sudden....but whines are long and bleed into each udders most of da time...and what was you allergic to exactly?

Yuri: The cr-crayon dust!

Ada: You'd be da first to have a reaction to dat....pretty sure those was hypo-allergenic anyways...

Yuri: M-Maybe it was Lily then! I don't know!

Ada: What? From da little itty bit of headfur she has?

Yuri: IT COULDA' BEEN!

Ada: Suure it coulda...but you did hug her back for a long time for someone so...allergic!

Yuri: I...I mean! I-I'm gonna hug my niece dammit!

Ada: Tail waggin' a mile a minute...

Yuri: YOUR JUST JEALOUS! Tryin' to tear me down just cause I got two pictures...

Ada: Eh...maybe a little...But at least I can be honest wit myself, unlike my little crypuppy ova here... *Chuckles*

Yuri: Shut yer muzzle! Only Puppy in this family is ol' Vern!

Ada: I'm startin' to tink maybe youse guys gave da wrong Hunta dat name...Not dat I mind. I tink sensative guys is cute...

Yuri: Don't CALL ME CUTE! I ain't no BUNNY!

Ada: Ah, you'll always be cute to me my little Mookie...especially when yous is givin' me a preview of what kinda Dad youse is gonna be...

Yuri: How many times I gotta tell you! I ain't raising no ankle-biters! I ain't budgin' on that position, y'all knew that when y'all started datin' me!

Ada: We'll see Mookie...we'll see...

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...

Vanna: I'd like to think that my sisters would be less awful about this than the boys are proving to be.

Qali: Easy for you to say, you have a picture! And so does Ada for that matter! *Crosses arms and pouts*

Ada: Yeesh Snowball, I don't tink I've ever seen youse dis sour before.

Qali: I just...I mean, I braided her fur! That's fun right? I'm a fun aunt...right?

Dawn: *Places a hoof on Qali's shoulder reassuringly* Of course you are Qali, Lily loves you.

Qali: I just really want a princess drawing too!

Vanna: *Shakes her head* It's like listening to another Goofball...

Val: If only you could all be as secure as I am in knowing that I'm the cool aunt.

Ada: And where did yous get dat idea?

Qali: Yeah! I don't see a princess drawing of you anywhere!

Val: Of course not, princesses aren't cool...so how could I be one.

Malcolm: Better hope lil' Lily don't hear y'all say that, or y'all would lose that 'cool aunt' status as quickly as y'all think ya had it.

Val: Pft...she'll figure it out sooner or later...*Glances around slyly* She...isn't around for this right? Like not in ear shot?

Dawn: Unless she was in the room there's little chance she'd hear it. Humans don't seem to have hearing on par with canines.

Val: Phew...I mean...er...I don't care...

Malcolm: See I figured Judy's probably the cool aunt.

Judy: Me? Why me?

Dawn: Well, Lily is talking an awful lot about police work, and law enforcement related topics.

Judy: True, but, isn't Vernon's entire family working in law to some degree?

Dawn: Yes, but you and Vanna are the only female officers she knows.

Vanna: Wouldn't that make me the 'cool' aunt?

Malcolm: Maybe, but Judy is a big city cop. I figure she deals with more serious stuff twice as often as you...

Vanna: I used to be a city cop.

Malcolm: Does Lily know that?

Vanna: Well...no...

Qali: It doesn't matter anyway, she's got her drawing!

Giselle: Just be patient Qali. I imagine we'll all get one sooner or later...

Qali: *Pouts quietly*

Clover: Yes, it's important not to rush the the girl...

Audrey: And even iffin' if y'all don't get a piece o' paper, so what? Y'all know them pups love their aunts, so why are y'all so fixated on getting' drawin's? So y'all can prove it?

Clover: And who are you trying to prove it to?

Vanna: This is what I was telling Zach...

Ada: *Chuckles* Well Zach was always a whiner...o'course it doesn't help dat my Mookie got a picture ahead of him...

Vanna: It definitely made it worse...

Ada: Well here's hopin' ya mate get's a picture of him as da biggest, frilliest King Princess who ever lived. Sometin' that'll make him both proud dat he finally got one, but embarrassed because it makes him look so goily...*Cackles*

Ask Shade AU; Lily the Hall Monitor!

 

Dawn: Well...it doesn't really bother me if it's something she's actually interested in. If she wanted to be a Hall Monitor I'd definitely encourage her. We both would. And if she took an interest in law enforcement as an adult well...I know we'd both be worried for her safety...but if that's what she really wanted, I don't think it'd be right to stand in her way.

Vernon: *Mumbles quietly*

Dawn: Aww...Puppy Love...

Vernon: Wh-what? I'm fine...

Dawn: No you aren't. Your ears and tail are sagging and you've got that little furrow in your brow, I can see it.

Vernon: Darn my ears and tail! *Whines*

Dawn: Are you afraid Dorian is going to pounce on the opportunity to start training Lily for police work if he catches wind?

Vernon: *Nods meekly* And my brothers...to a lesser extent.

Dawn: Puppy, we talked about this.

Vernon: I know...

Dawn: I know your worried about your father trying to impose his interests on Lily like he did you, but we don't want to go so overboard trying to protect Lily from being roped into something against her will that we stifle her desire to actually pursue things she might want to pursue.

Vernon: I know! It's...*Sigh* I just...bein' a cop is dangerous! And I mean...just the thought of her policin'...even all grown up...It's just hurtin' my chest. Like I can feel all my muscles tensin' up over the idea.

Dawn: You aren't alone Puppy Love. I feel the same way. But what are we going to do? Keep Lily prisoner?

Vernon: O'course not!

Dawn: Then when the time comes...we need to let her spread her wings. We have to be supportive.

Vernon: *Whines* Now I know what Ma felt like when she was goin' through this.

Dawn: And she had six sons to worry about, and her mate for that matter!

Vernon: Tell me about it...Er' wait, scratch that. Don't mention this to Ma. Knowin' her she'd talk my ear off about all that worryin' she did...and purty much say the exact thang you said about pushin' through and supportin' her pups...

Dawn: Mhh...The opportunity to chime in with an 'I told you so' is rather tempting, I have to admit...

Vernon: Honey Lamb...

Dawn: Okay, okay! I won't say a word...*Giggles*
