I was working with an artist named Mitsumutt and we came up with an idea where he would draw this picture here and i coukd write a story to go with it, he's really good and really nice, here's a link to his... : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16201830/

Most people who see badgers in their yards would freak, get a trap, or send their dog to kill them. Not everyone does that, believe it or not there are some people who love wild animals so much they will ignore them no matter how much damage they do to the back yard. Heck one person even has a pet fox, he has that and refuses to harm the badger who just won't leave them alone. Let me take you to a neighborhood whose home owners all have traps and guard dogs, except for one person, and what person? Maybe it's the person I just mentioned, pay attention! Well while the person won't hurt the badger, the fox thinks otherwise...

After the person (who refuses to call the fox to think of him as an 'owner') left for work, the fox quit his act as a cute and dumb pet and sat on the recliner, and pulled out the recliner. He then turned on the TV to TBS to watch Cougar Town, at first he was upset that there were no real cougars on it, then he started to get into it after laughing at Ellie. When it went to commercial break, he went towards the kitchen to grab a drink, but he noticed that one, his owner forgot his wallet, and through the glass back door that that badger was digging through the grass and eating from the fox's food bowl, and he didn't like that one bit so he went out to have a word with him.

Once he opened the door he walked right up to the badger and shoved him right into the dirt, "Hey Mr unusually big nose, last time I checked, you don't live here, why are you back?" he asked, following he crossed his arms.

Once the badger dug his muzzle out and scratched the dirt off, he got back up and responded, "If I go into any other place I will be killed, last time I checked, that isn't a very warm bed." he said as he continued eating.

The fox just got more annoyed and grabbed the badger from his ear and pulled his face out of the bowl, "Hey my owner leaves those dried up bones and organs of old cows for me, not you, you don't belong here and if you don't ship out I'll take care of it for him!" He said as he flicked his head. Following, he put his paws up in fists and got in a fighting stance, while he growled and said, "Make your move!"

"And let your owner see you kill the one thing he refuses to hurt, yeah I don't think so," he said as once again he went back eating the fox's food, once again, leaving the fox more annoyed. "Also, that collar makes you look soft, you're a fox, you've lost your edge man."

That pushed him over the edge, after he kicked the bowl out from his face and was about to lay it into him, "Lost my edge? Last time I checked, I get free food, free water, free toys, free place to stay, free security, so what if I'm soft for a fox, I'm a lot more of a skilled animal than you ever will be!" he also pointed his finger and moved his paw and head concentrically, trying to seem sassy. "And the neighborhood doesn't have traps set for me everywhere, you really think I want your life?"

That just made the badger mad and hurt, because this life isn't something he chose, "Jealous of my life, Jealous of my life! Hey, I'm the jealous one here, nobody likes some badger, you think I like being stuck in a place where the only other wild animal hates me, you think I like being stuck in the small yard that has no traps?" he was mad and ready to have a fight, but he didn't want to, he worried if he hurt the fox then the owner would be mad and he would lose this trap free zone, so he restrained himself. Following, he picked up some of the scattered kibbles and went over to the corner of the fence, hearing a car pull up, "Hey that's 'the owner' you might want to go back inside and pretend to be all 'panty' and 'pouncy' and crawl on all fours or he'll freak...!"

The fox remembered that the owner forgot his wallet and realized he had to go back to get it, and he had to go back get it, and he didn't want him to see his TV on so he had to go in, but he knew this wasn't over. After he went in, he didn't have enough time to turn off the TV, but the owner didn't really care. "Cougar Town? Was I watching that? It's funny but wow the name needs to be changed, sorry about interrupting your alone time, bye Talco!" he said as he gave him a pet and a treat, then went off.

The fox felt content and happy for a moment, so he got back on two paws and went back on the recliner, and began to watch Cougar town again, "He's right... it's funny but it has a really bad name..." but he got cut short as he heard the badger tap on the glass door, and want to talk again. Before he went back out, he went to another room to grab something, then he went back out.

"Um what's that in your paw? And Talco? What kind of name is that for a fox?" asked the badger, with a more annoyed tone, but also wondering what the fox was holding.

"None of your business what this is, and Talco is a great name, it's original and fun to say, what's your name?" he then asked.

The badger got annoyed again, "I don't have a name, nobody cares enough to give me one, they just want me dead, not like you'd know anything about that," he responded, still curious as to what he was holding, "How exactly did you manage to start living here exactly, you're not a dog." he asked, wanting to know why he was so lucky.

"I just manage to be cute and muzzle up by my master's leg, people eat that stuff up and give you a place to stay, but when it's a badger, they just don't get that luck," he responded, in a way that doesn't help him much, almost as if it was condescending... "And because people seem to have a guilty pleasure for foxes, my master says there are these people called 'furries' that like to dress up as animals like foxes and skunks and stuff, but not too many badgers, so foxes are lucky."

"Wait, people dress up like animals and call themselves 'furries'? that's weird."

"Yeah... I don't get it either..."

The author of this story then laughed a little as he wrote that part...

"Anyway, don't you think that's fair, I wish people loved badgers the way people love foxes," the badger responded, now just feeling self pity and not loved.

The fox then felt a faint amount of pity for the badger, but he still hates his guts for always bothering him and his master, but he has a plan... "If you want, I could help you..." he then said as he uncrumbled the object in his hand.

"Again, what is that, two, how could you help me, and three, why would you help me?" the badger asked in confusion and disbelief...

"Well when you told me that nobody liked you like that, it just made me kind of upset... but this thing could change your life forever..." Talco said as he held a pocket watch in front of the badger's face, leaving him confused.

As the fox held out the watch, he gained a faint but notable sinister look on his face... "It's called a pocket watch, my master is something called a hypnotist, and they use these things on each other and it does all kinds of magic...! Now I just want you to watch this watch swing back and forth, that's all you have to do..." and he just started to swing it in front of the badger.

He watched it close but wasn't sure what was happening, "What's this supposed to do exactly?" with each swing he watched it closer though.

"It's just going to help you relax... just relax little badger..." he said, in a more calming yet sinister tone.

"J-just relax...?" he responded, starting to feel slightly numb and focused more on the watch, then a faint smile came on.

"Just relax and listen to my voice... just my voice, is that alright?"

"Just relax and listen... relax and listen..." At that point the badger's eyes had became rainbow circles closing in on themselves, he was deep in a trance and ready to listen and take in whatever the fox was to say.

"You wish you were a pet don't you little badger?" the fox asked, with a smirk on his fluffy face.

With his smile getting bigger, he responded, "Yes... I really want to be a pet like you..."

"But you aren't, you're just a badger, a worthless, dirty, wild, smelly little badger, right?"

"Yeah... I'm just a worthless, dirty, wild, smelly little badger..."

"But don't worry little badger, I know how to give you the life you've always wanted, listen to my words and you can be a pet like me!"

"Really...?"

"Just repeat after me, you are a pet like me..."

"I am a pet like you..."

"My owner is your owner and you love our owner and will obey all of his commands..."

"Your owner is my owner, and I love my owner and will obey all of his commands..."

"But when our owner is away, you will be my pet and obey my commands and call me 'master'..."

"When our owner is away, I will be your pet and obey your commands and call you 'master'..."

The fox was grinning, "Now what will happen when our owner is away?"

"I will be your pet, obey your commands, and call you 'master'" at that moment, the badger sat like a dog, stuck out his tongue and panted as he was watching the watch and listening to his new master...

After letting the watch swing for a few moments, letting the new world enter and sink deeply into the badger's mind, "When I snap my paw your new life will take hold and you will finally be the pet you always wanted to be..."

"I will be the pet I've always wanted to be..." he finally said, as the fox snapped his paw and the badger awoke from his trance, with his rainbow eyes becoming red and white circles.

"So how do you feel boy...?" the fox asked, expecting a surprising answer.

"Master, I feel great, just happy to be your pet!" he said, still sitting and panting like a dog.

"Great, now let's go in and finish that episode of Cougar Town."

"Yes Master! Funny show, bad name..." the badger said as he got on two paws and followed the fox into the house. As they sat on the couch, the badger asked, "Speaking of names Master, what's my name?" he asked.

"Um... Uh... Drake, Drake Badger, your name is Drake Badger, understand?"

"Yes Master! Thank you for the new name and the new life!" he exclaimed.

"No problem Drake, now please go fill our food bowls while I figure out how to make our owner okay with you... but I think he will be happy with you!" the fox said as the badger nuzzled up by his leg before going off to fill their food bowls and then just curled up at his master's paws like a dog.

Well there you have it, the badger has finally gotten a safe and loving home, and he couldn't be happier with his new owner... or owners... and he would never want to leave their sides, he doesn't have to worry about traps or hunting for scraps of food, he is safe and happy being a pet.
