Writing prompt: Pronk and Bucky Have A Fight

In the same style as "Guildenstern and Rosencrantz are Dead", "Pronk and Bucky Have A Fight" revolves around the two background characters Pronk and Bucky who:

A. Have little to no idea what's going on

B. Are depicted as truly instrumental to advancing the plot, saying each line perfectly at the right time, despite their continued complete misinterpretation of the situation.

Most of the movie would be just that: the two side characters trying to figure out what's going on, or unwittingly setting up events in the original film.

C. Are having a conversation about the nature of reality or some other biting existential dread.

It revolves around the two pronghorn roommates on the other side of Judy's wall as they constantly squabble about each other as well as deep philosophical matters while the town falls into chaos. They're more concerned about each other rather than the general plot, and are largely oblivious to the details of what's going on, preferring to find fault in each other and their position in society as both prey and heavily armed animals (sharp horns.)

And (in some way) they are instrumental in helping Nick and Judy save the day, although they're either completely ignorant of the role they play or too busy fighting to realize what they've done.

Here's the writing prompt: given the movie Zootopia, what instances can you think of wherePronk and/or Bucky might unwittingly set up a scene or contribute to what's happening in the background, but be mostly clueless as to the greater plot?

For instance, The pair might be in the same building as the hamsters. The Pronghorns are complaining about how they have all these singles and need to exchange it for a few large bills. At the same time, the team leader of the hamsters (trying to save a buck) is explaining to his coworkers he doesn't have the change to give to each of hamster their bonus (because he's a cheapskate). The pronghorns overhear, and take the large bill, giving the change to the hamsters.

The hamsters, who promptly go outside and hand it to Nick.

Nick, here, is serving as a background character to what Pronk and Bucky are talking about, perhaps something about how weird it would be if the two of them aren't real, but just background characters in some other person's story, and they'll stop existing as soon as the reader finishes the page.[](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/articles/43980704794004)[](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/sections/38303584022676-Accessibility)
