Shocked. A story of Predator and Prey.

Not a stranger? No danger.

The first few days were the hardest. Both children had shocked themselves multiple times already. And it was pure torture. Because of the start school, this was their first time going with Nick to the park. And the first time they'd get their collars off from getting them on.
Nick walked with his children to the main gate, he had one of his children's paws in one of his paws, holding onto them as they walked.
"Daddy.....you ever become cop wike momma?" Bruno asked with a small smile as his father scattered for the keys.
Once Nick found his keys, he placed them inside of the gate and opened the two front doors, entering the park with Bruno and Harper by his side.
"Well....sometimes. But that would be boring." Nick replied to his son with a small smirk.
"Oh. Daddy. Can I go on that ride!" Harper asked excitedly as she pointed to the Ferris wheel.
It was the same thing every time they visited the park.
Harper would ask to go in the Ferris wheel.
Bruno would cry.
They'd get on the ride.
Harper would cry.
Nick would have to stop the ride and the twins would go on the child rides in the 'kid-land' of the park.
But Nick wouldn't stop it for the world. If Harper wanted to go on the Ferris wheel, then chicken out. That was fine with him. His children, no matter how old, were always his babies.
"We can go on that later, Princess." He responded to Harper.

The first place where Nick took them too, was the removal stand near the front gate.
The twins smiled brightly as they got lifted up onto the counter.
Harper was older, so Harper sat straight up and leaned forward towards her father as he held the removal gun in his paw.
Nick didn't even hesitate a second to take off his daughters collar. And once it got popped off, and was held in his paw. Harper squealed happily and wrapped her arms around her fathers neck.
"Thank you, daddy! Thank you! Thank you!" She giggled happily.
"Me now! Me! Me!" Bruno giggled as he made his ears stick straight up and he leaned forward.
Nick smiled warmly and held the removal gun up to Bruno's neck and popped his collar off before taking it in his paw.
"Your wel–" before Nick could even speak, both of his children were showing him so much love. And it warmed his heart.
"Okay. Okay." Nick smiled as he crouched down and pulled both of his children into a tight hug. His collar turning yellow from his emotions.
Both children gasped and Harper grabbed he gun out of nicks hand.
She was holding it the right way. And it wasn't even on. But her and her brother hit it against Nick collar to try and get it off of him. Not wanting the best dad in the world to get shocked again in front of them.
Nicks ears perked up and his eyes widened a bit before he chuckled softly. He carefully took the gun out of Harper's paw and easily removed his own collar before smiling.
"Happy?" He asked, only seconds before both of his children tackled him with hugs.
"Happy." He chuckled as he nuzzled both of his children.
As the day went on, Finnick, Honey, and Clawhauser arrived at the park. And helped with managing it and making sure everything went smoothly. But Nick made sure one of them was always with his children. Nick was a very over protective parent. Even more than Judy was.
It was honeys turn with the kids. And she was just getting dragged around the park as the kids skipped around and hummed. But honey didn't mind. Because she was still getting paid to hang out with children. Though she worked with children daily. This was different. This was....fun for her.

"Auntie Honey! Wets go on da swing wide!" Bruno exclaimed as he pointed to a miniature version of 'adult' swing ride that was farther down in the park.
"That one? Alright. You're the boss." Honey said as she walked with both children to the ride.
Because this park was indoors, all the rides were controlled in the control room. So there weren't any mammals manually working the rides.

Honey and the twins waited in the line until it was their turn. Honey made sure to strap both twins in their seat. One in front of the other, then, the ride soon started.
Bruno shrieked in fear, although they were only five feet off of the ground, Bruno was terrified. But then after a few seconds of purely freaking out, he slowly calmed down, and began to enjoy the ride. He then giggled loudly, rolling his head and eyes around.
After about two minutes, the ride was over, and Honey got both kids off of the ride, and they began to walk around once more.
"Auntie Honey! Can we get cotton candy?" Harper asked as she looked up at her 'aunt' and then straight ahead at the cotton candy cart.
Honey reluctantly nodded before walking both children to the cart.
The carts, stands, and little gift shops did have actual mammals working there. Being that they couldn't be automatic like the rides.

"What color do you kiddos want?" Honey asked as she let go of both of their paws to get out her wallet.
"Pink!" Harper giggled.
"Pink!" Bruno copied his sister.
"Pink it is." Honey smiled as she easily got two sticks of cotton candy for the children.
She first turned to Bruno and handed him his, then handed Harper hers.
After the twins devoured their cotton candy, honey took them back to Nick, who was working the front gate.
The twins enjoyed 'assisting' their father as he took the guests collars off as they paid their fee to get into the park.

By 'assisting' the twins were just sitting behind the stand, by their fathers feet as they ate what was left of the sugar treat 'Aunt Honey' had bought.
While they ate the treat, something caught the little girls eyes. A large stuffed bear that a young cheetah cub was walking around with. She quickly let go of her cotton candy stick and crawled between Nicks leg without his knowledge.
Bruno reached for his sister before whimpering.
He watched his big sister run off, he then looked up at his father.
"Daddy! Daddy!" He panicked, but because of all of the noise from the park, Nick couldn't hear Bruno's small voice over all of the larger ones.
Harper couldn't catch up with the cub, being that once she got to where the cub was, the cub had actually walked away with her parents. Harper whimpered and turned back to the stand. Because there were so many mammals at the park at the moment, she could barley see through all of them to see the stand clearly.
As she took a small step forward to find her brother and father, she felt a rather large paw on her shoulder. She then looked up and behind her to see a white timberwolf.
She whimpered loudly and back up, making his paw fall off her shoulder.
"What's a pretty little girl like you doing out here alone without your mommy or daddy?" He asked.
Harper's ears perked up.
Oh. So he was nice? The little girl was very confused.
"I-I.....my daddy over there." Harper whimpered as she pointed towards where the stand would usually be, but because of all of the other mammals, it wasn't visible.
"M-my daddy told me not to talk to strangers." She frowned.
"Well. I'm Randy. What's your name?" The wolf asked.
"H-Harper...." Harper frowned up at the tall wolf.
The wolf them crouched down to the little girls height.
"Well. Now we aren't strangers." He said with a smug grin. "Ya know. I know a way to get out of the park where we don't need our collars. Would you like that?" He asked.
Harper frowned. "I already got my collar off..."
"Yeah. But you won't ever need it with me." He said as he quickly picked Harper up.
Harper whimpered but nodded. Liking the idea of not having to wear her collar at all.
Once 'Randy' picked her up, he only got a few feet before he felt something sharp get wrapped around his neck, then, a feeling of something on his tail, causing him to drop Harper before he got painfully shocked.

Once Nick listened to Bruno, he was easily able to search out his daughter by smell. Then, once he found the clearly perverted mammal trying to take his little angel. He had no problem slapping a collar on him, and stepping on his tail to shock him.

When Harper hit the ground from being dropped. She shrieked loudly before crying. Not seeing Nick at first.
Her eyes widened as she watched the wolf get shocked. But she then got scooped up by her father, and her eyes widened again. She wrapped her arms around Nick and wailed loudly.
"It's okay, Princess. Daddy's got ya....." He kissed her cheek softly.
A few of the other mammals around that witnessed what had just happened had no problem at all applauding Nick for what he so easily did to ensure his daughters safety.
But Nick didn't want the applause. He was just glad Harper was with him.
But in the back of his mind.
He knew Judy was going to be very, very, very angry.
