The morning sun's rays reflected upon the window of the ursine man, some of the light hitting him in the face, which made him crinkle his face reflexively and turn to the other side of his bed, facing the wall. His rest however was cut short when he woke to the constant shaking of his pillow. The bear groaned, trying to determine what was under his soft, plush pillow and why was it vibrating of all things? Using one of his paws to rub his face and the other to reach out to the object, he was surprised to see that the item was in fact his phone and the reason for it's vibration was to wake him up! With squinted eyes, the bear tried to look at the time on his phone only to regret it as he realized that today was that day. With sudden vigor, the ursine man quickly got out of his bed, not even making an effort to care about the mess he had just made. With as fast as his paws could he approached his kitchen and quickly searched the cabinets for a bowl and some cereal, while he could've easily made his own breakfast what was one to do during a rush hour? Getting the milk out of the fridge and pouring inside the bowl, the bear tried to eat and chew as fast as he could, his excitement and anxiety getting the best of him. Without even cleaning the table Zach quickly put the bowl in his sink and didn't even turn on the water. He shrugged to himself, saying that he would just clean the place up later. How later "later" would be was beyond anyone's imagination.
After making sure he was done prepping himself to make a good impression (Even brushing his teeth and fangs thrice for good measure), the bear looked once at his settlement, thinking and saying to himself, "I should REALLY clean this place up soon." before closing the door behind him, giddy for the adventures that await him. All of the cadets were ordered to to take the Blue Line monorail and upon entering the train, the ursine scoured for a good seat, it didn't matter whether or not it was a window one, just as long as he fit. Once he settled down, he took a good look at his surroundings, in the next few hours of his live, he's going to be working with the folks around him, and everyone sure was different. Big or small, it really didn't matter it all, what was really important was the fact that these animals are going to be his allies now.
Half of the time he spent in the monorail was thinking about how his new life was going to be, the other was being both excited and really, really nervous about the entire thing. The bear kept on thinking that he wouldn't be up to the standards of the ZPD or he'd probably be fired within the first week, he shook his head, trying to block out all the negative thoughts from his brain and just stay positive, after all, this was for his father, and mother too. The ursine had lost track of time and was surprised that within the time he spent thinking of improbable scenarios that would happen to him today, they were already at their destination. When he exited the monorail everything felt hot all of a sudden, the humidity of the area certainly was different than in Tundratown, Zach could almost swear he was sweating profusely underneath all of his thick fur. Suddenly, the idea of staying inside the monorail wouldn't be such a bad idea. But it seems their amazing adventures inside transportation vehicles wasn't done yet, now it was buses. Well, there was no use complaining so inside the bear went, his mixed emotions of excitement and fear getting the best of him.
After a good ten minute drive to the Police Headquarters, Zach exited the bus with awe in his face, he...No, they, were standing right front of the Police Headquarters itself! Right now he could just scream and die happy, but that would be inappropriate with the large, intimidating panther greeting all of them. As he explained the basics, the bear could hear his heart pounding fast, with his enthusiasm getting the best of him, when they all shouted "Yes Sir!", he did so with vigor and zeal. Right now everyone was in one big line waiting for their applications to be approved and when his turn came, he eagerly handed in his form with a huge smile on his face. Even though it looked like the panther was simply skimming through it, the bear was nonetheless scared at the prospect at the thought of him reading it, it was as if he felt like he didn't meet quality standards at all. With that done, he was assigned to Squad 66 and with a hop in his step, entered the vehicle.
