Hello everyone, after watching Zootopia 2 times i decided to try writing something. This was planned as a one shot but i think this will work better as multi chapters. Hope you enjoyed it.
Zootopia is owned by Disney
"And 5...4…3…" A male fox said as he was glancing into a clock on the wall. "What are you doing Nick?" A female bunny asked to the fox who kept his attention to the clock. "2...1 and…" The fox says as the clock rings and he yelled excited "Shift Over" which created some wandering eyes towards him and her partner
"Seriously what was that? You're such a dumb fox". The bunny asked to the fox. "Hey Carrots I didn't noticed you". The fox noticed the increasingly annoyed bunny. "Sorry about that, is just that this week has been really boring". He answered.
"Nick, you know police work is not always exciting". The bunny said. "I know, but still working an entire week on paperwork is just too boring". The fox expressed. "You're so hopeless Nick; sometimes I wonder why I had you as a partner". The bunny asked to herself. "That's because you love me Carrots". The fox said. "Maybe you're right". The bunny answered. "Maybe?" the fox asked surprised. "Just kidding, c'mon Nick let's go to eat something at Central's Diner. This time is your treat" the bunny said as she started walking to the reception leaving a dumbfounded fox behind. "Wait what? You're such a sly bunny" the fox says as he rushes to catch up the bunny.
"You are great. You are the best dancer I've seen"
"Oh Gazelle you are the greatest" a chubby cheetah proclaimed as he put all his attention to his cell phone that played the Gazelle app until his attention was interrupted by a voice that said "Hey Clawhauser are you here? Hello? Earth to Clawhauser"
The cheetah finally noticed the animals that were stand in front of him. "Judy and Nick, sorry I didn't noticed you, I was busy seeing this" Clawhauser showed to Judy and Nick a video of a performance of Gazelle with Clawhauser's face overposed to a back-up dancer "You really like that app right?". Judy mentioned. "Well yeah, but lately I've seen it less" Clawhauser said. "Right... I do remember that you showed me that app like 50 times only during this week." Nick thought to himself.
"Anyway, are you two leaving together?" Clawhauser asked which the fox and bunny nodded in agreement. "You know, you are so cute when you are together". The cheetah said which surprised the bunny. "Don't say that" Judy said as she reacted to what Clawhauser said. "I don't know Carrots, you're very cute and I can be very adorable." Nick commented. "You're not that adorable, you dumb fox." Judy said annoyed. "Then I retracted you're not cute" Nick said as payback which annoyed Judy even more.
As they kept arguing Clawhauser was just smiling at the scene and thinking that even when they fight they're still looked cute. After they calmed down and said their farewells to Clawhauser the reception's phone rings. "Hello?" Clawhouser said only to hear a very loud voice saying "Is Hoops still here?" "Yeah, but she is leaving now" Clawhauser said as he was saying "Yes" and "I see" until the call ends. "Judy, wait" The cheetah screamed to the bunny to stop her and that stopped the fox too.
"Sorry Judy but Chief Bogo wants you in his office now. He sounds serious, you should go immediately" Clawhauser instructed to Judy. "I wonder what he wants, I didn't do anything wrong. You had done anything wrong Nick?" She asked to her partner which he negates doing anything wrong.
"Well that ruins our plans." Judy said which Nick replied "Not necessarily, what about I go to the diner and I wait for you?" "Are you sure? We don't know how long this will take" Judy mentions. "I'm sure. Now go before Chief Angry Face gets angrier." Nick said as Judy agreed and leaves to Bogo's office and afterwards Nick leaves the building as Clawhauser resumed watching the app.
"I hope he is not angry today…as if that happened someday…" Judy thought to herself wondering what is so urgent to call her at the moment until…
"ring""ring" "ring"
"What now?" She wondered when her cell phone rings. She did a quick glance at who was calling her and when she noticed the name of the caller she decided she will answer quickly.
"Hello, we haven't talk in a while".
Central's Diner is a small diner in Zootopia, which is located near the Central train station that connects all the districts. The diner is a very popular place for animals who want a quick bite before returning home, especially to the ZPD which works for very long shifts even thought there are rumors that they only come for the donuts.
Nick arrived at the diner which was almost full but luckily he managed to get an empty table. While he waited to be attended he started looking at the animals around him, one perk he developed during his old hustle days, seeing any chance to do some scheme, something he has tried to stop doing without too much success.
Then he watched several pictures of celebrities that had visited the place during all the years the diner has been opened, some very well known and some he didn't recognize "They must be quite old" he thought. He remembered one day when he came with Clawhauser and the cheetah saw a picture of Gazelle on the walls, which freaks him out and he started taking selfies of himself with the photo, something Nick found quite funny to see.
A few minutes later a slightly older dog dressed with a white shirt with the diner's logo and black pants with the diner's name goes to the table. "Officer Wilde, glad to see you again" the waiter said. "Glad to see you too Harold" Nick said to the waiter who has got acquaintances ever since he started to frequent the place. "But where is Officer Hoops? Don't tell me that you fight again" Harold asked when he noticed that the fox was alone. "Hahaha, very funny Harold, she is busy with something but she will be here at any moment" Nick commented to the waiter who accepted his explanation. "So are you ready to order or I should wait?" the waiter asked. "Well…bring me a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin for now" the fox ordered and the waiter leaved with his order in hand.
"30 minutes and no signs of Judy, Maybe I should call her." Nick pulled his cell phone but before he calls he put it back into his pocket. "I can't call her, can't risk calling her and she is still with Chief Bogo" he rationalized. As he started wondering if he was being stand up by Judy he noticed something that caught his attention, another fox has just entered the diner.
While Nick is far from being the only fox in Zootopia, he knows every animal that resides in the city or at least that's what he claims, and that fox doesn't seems to be familiar at all. Nick started analyzing at the fox who was sitting on another table trying to guess what kind of person he was, another perk of his old life.
"Let's see…a bit taller than me, chubbier than the average, hair that looks almost like a toupee .He is wearing a blue collared shirt with square decorations and jeans that seems to being dirty. He gives me some countryside vibes.
After getting a basic idea of the target the next step is to observe how the person behaves but…
"He hasn't done anything at all! Nick started getting annoyed at the other fox who has spent the last 10 minutes hasn't moved out of his table and haven't even order nothing even when the waiter showed up a few times."Is he planning something? Or maybe he is waiting for someone? Maybe something happen to him or he is just lonely…I can't do this anymore, I'm going to talk to him" Nick decided that he is going to the fox's table and knowing what's going on with him.
"My train is leaving in a few hours and she hasn't showed up yet, I hope she is fine" The fox was thinking before he noticed another fox in a police uniform coming to his table. "Sorry if I'm bothering you but are you ok? The cop asked. "I'm fine officer, any problem? The fox asked back to him. "Nothing is just that I saw you alone and I was wondering if you were fine" The cop responded. "Thanks for the concern but I'm fine, I'm just waiting to an old friend of mine". The fox said. "What a coincidence I'm waiting for someone too". Nick commented trying to change any signs of hostility he could be doing. "Indeed" The fox commented. "Guess I'll return to my table, sorry for the inconvenience." The cop said but when he turned back some other animals has taken his table.
"Sorry officer, I tried to stop them but they insisted in taking a seat, even when I told them you were a cop" The waiter said very ashamed of letting that happening. "Don't worry Harold, sometimes that stuff happens" Nick says as he tries to not creating a problem, as he doesn't want to see Chief Bogo yelling at him for some random fight.
"Still I can't believe the rudeness of some animals, only because you are a fox doesn't mean you can be ignored" the waiter said. "Thanks for saying that" Nick said with a weak smile. "No problem" the waiter said as he left to attend another client. As soon as he leaves Nick's smile turned into a depressed frown he tried to hide and without he notices the other fox who saw everything got a bit sad too.
"Some animals are so inconsiderate" the fox commented. "Yeah but that's life in the city. Oh well guess I'll wait for another table. The cop said. "Well if you don't mind we can share a table until other is available" the fox suggested to the cop. "Well thank you I really appreciate that. As a token of gratitude I'll treat you something"
"There's no need for that officer" The fox said flattered. "I insisted, let me treat you something, what a about a piece of Pie? Is one of the best Pies you can eat in all Zootopia" The police commented which cause curiosity in the fox. "Is that so? Guess I'll like to try it to see if is true".
"Well said, hey Harold can you bring me a piece of your best pie for my friend …what's your name?" the cop asked when he realized he never got a name. "My name is Gideon Grey, Officer..." Gideon tried to read the cop's badge "Officer Nicholas P. Wilde, but you can call me Nick". The cop as he sits down with the fox.
I hoped you have enjoyed this prologue and i hope the next part is coming soon.
