Zootropolis A new Day {Book one of the Zootopia series}

The bad ending

I couldn't decide between a good and a bad ending first, but then I decided to make it good. Decide what ending do you think is the best. Anyway, here is what could have happened, after Judy had suffered from her injuries.

It's a dark, rainy day. Thick, black clouds hang down from the sky and their watery load falls down on the giant crowd of mammals. The entire city is on its feet. No one wants to miss it. The city stands together strongly, as strongly as it possibly ever could.

A small black coffin, with the banner of stars and stripes, the sign of Zootopia's council and the sign of the ZPD, is being carried by a buffalo and a big-built cheetah, even though it's empty. Both mammals wear their parade-uniforms, just like the other police officers and the few military members behind them. A single grey wolf, wearing a completely white uniform, walks alone in front of the coffin and plays the melody you're hearing.

Meanwhile, on a plain field somewhere in Bunnyburrow.

None of them know what's going on in the city and none of them care about it. The large group of bunnies, hares and jackrabbits follow the small cart, with a small coffin on it. Even though the rain has wet them all, they continue to walk and no one even dares to say a single word. Bonnie Hopps is walking right behind the cart with her husband, trying to hold back her tears. She feels a paw on her shoulder and her face softens a little as she looks up and sees the gentle face of an old red vixen. The vixen tries to hold back her tears as well and then looks straight to her son. The only other fox is walking way in front of the cart, making sure it can go straight to the small grass field. He then stands next to the small, rectangular hole and stares at it silently. The coffin is being dropped down very slowly and the crowd splits apart as it has arrived at the bottom. Every mammal drops a little bit of earth back in the hole and walks off. Until the male fox is left alone at the grave. He stares down at what would have become his wife, maybe even more. But now there is nothing left for him in his life. He turns around, sits back into his car and drives off.

As he arrives back at his apartment, he pulls off his tie and throws it away. The loneliness crawls up his legs and into his head. It annoys him and he picks up a picture of Judy, trying to make the feeling go away. But it only worsens and his look moves to the wardrobe. He opens it and pulls out a small metal box from the bottom. It is locked by a number code, which is more than simple. 1234, he types in and with a hiss, the box opens. Inside lies a revolver, his private gun to be exact. He stares at it with a lustful gaze. He picks it up and pulls back the firearm. He then sits in his favorite chair and looks at the framed picture of the best and most beautiful mammal, he has ever met. "We'll be together again very soon." He says and smiles at the picture.

At the time Glaz and Nick's sister, both in uniform, walk up to the door of Nick's small apartment. They are about to knock, when suddenly a shot comes from inside. Both of their ears perk up and they stand still for a few seconds. Mary then notices that the door is just ajar. She slowly pushes it open, only to be shocked by the site of a red-stained wall behind Nick. Who's head is leaning backwards weirdly, making the two mammals in uniform look at his throat and the bottom of his muzzle. Glaz slowly walks up to Nick, while Mary is frozen in shock. Glaz discovers what had happened and closes Nick's eyes, which are still focused on the small, framed picture.

Another cloudy, raining day. Only a few mammals have come to this burial this time. Nick's mother is standing alone in front of her son's grave. Behind her is her daughter, staring at the ground and crying too. The old vixen keeps crying, until she feels a soft paw touching hers. She looks down and into the face of a familiar, old female bunny.

"When life throws stuff at you, whatever it is. Never let go of your beliefs. Never let go of your principles. And never let go of your loved ones. Take care of those, who have lost someone. Do not leave them alone in their sadness and always encourage them to keep living." ~unknown

So this was the bad ending of Zootropolis a new day. I hope you enjoyed or well, liked reading it.
