Chapter 1: Judy's Crazy Night

The sun set on the animal city Zootopia as Judy Hopps, her partner Nick Wilde, and the other animal police officers sat around in the officers mission room. Chief Bogo stood in front of the class as he discussed a "job well done" to everyone, than bid them all goodnight.

Judy drove back to her apartment with Nick in their police vehicle, knowing that it had been a long days work. Both him and Judy were tired, but that didn't stop Nick from trying to cheer Judy up.

"So, today was interesting, huh?" Nick said, slightly mellow. Judy sighed, focusing on driving. Today had been a tough case for them.

"Yeah, if you don't count the time the Elephant Dart bounced off the metal pipe and knocked me out for half an hour! Other than that, it was just crazy!" Judy retorted.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault the dart hit you! I was aiming for the raccoon you were chasing! Besides, you did seem a bit romantic while talking!" Nick commented.

"Like what?! What did I say?!" Judy exclaimed, afraid of whatever embarrassing words came out of her mouth.

"Oh you know, words like; 'Nicky is my red, furry Valentine!', 'Catch the stripped weasel before he goes into the metal tube!', 'I love carrot cake!', 'Nick is my BFFF! Best Fox Friend Forever!', 'I use my cell phone as my flashlight!' 'I - Ow!" Nick said before he got hit in the shoulder by Judy. Judy was bright pink under her furry cheeks, just hearing Nick mimic what she said with the Elephant Dart in her.

"Stop talking! It's embarrassing enough that you remember what I said, but that I said those things in public! Ahhhhh! Why? Why did I say those things!?" Judy exclaimed, accidentally hitting the horn out of frustration. She turned towards the apartments as Nick kept talking.

"Hey, hey, hey! Easy Carrots! Everyone gets embarrassed! You aren't the only one! Besides, you DID sound adorable!"

"That was the dart talking!" Judy replied impatiently, putting the vehicle in the parking position.

"Oh come on! Nibble on an ice cube, Judy. Don't tell me you're mad just because your 'red, furry Valentine' accidentally hit you with a dart that knocked you out for thirty minutes or so! You did tell me you loved me after we became partners," Nick responded. Judy opened the driver's door and got out as did Nick.

"Look Nick, I appreciate the affection. But saying those things isn't something I would say in public! It just sounds so unprofessional! Can't we just say it was my wack-o-doodle mind saying words because of the dart, and call it a day?" Judy commented. She then gave Nick the car keys and walked on the side walk with him.

"Yeah, but I know some of what you said is true. Come on, don't tell me after hearing what you said from me, doesn't make you sound adorable?" Nick replied with a smirk. Judy rolled her eyes.

"Adorable as in ridiculously embarrassing?" Judy asked, slightly annoyed.

"More like adorable for a hug!" Nick corrected her. Judy sighed.

"Okay, Nick! You may have a hug!" Judy said before the two friends hugged for a minute or two. Once they separated from the hug, Nick said goodnight to Judy, got in the police car and drove off.

Judy got into her apartment room shortly after, and once she put her police supplies in her bag, on her bed, Judy walked over to her bedroom door, locked it, walked over to her desk and sat in it. Then she did the one thing she could think of doing; she hit her head on her desk.

"What! Is! Wrong! With! Me!?" Judy said while hitting her head on the wooden desk. Judy just frowned and hid her face in her paws. Words couldn't describe how humiliated she was after hearing Nick say some of the things she had spoken about with the Elephant Dart in her during the mission. It wasn't just unprofessional in Judy's eyes, but some of those things she had said about Nick were true. She DID have feelings for him. She did love him. But to say those things in public was something she never wanted to do. Even if she had the dart in her, still, she was embarrassed by her actions. Then something else came to her mind.

"Oh carrot sticks! ... If Chief Bogo finds out about this, I'm in deep water!" Judy said to herself before thinking back to the mission that day.

"Dog gone it! Why did Nick have to hit me with the dart?! I know it was an accident, but still! Ahhhhh!" Judy exclaimed before hitting her head on the desk again, then brought her paws up to her forehead, rubbing her forehead.

"Nick Wilde, sometimes you can be a smart guy... and then some days, you're a knucklehead!" Judy said before she got out of her desk and changed into her pajamas. She then turned the lights off and went to bed.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" A loud, strange screech exclaimed, waking Judy up.

"Ahhhhhhhhh! What was that?!" Judy said, getting her cell phone and looking around the bedroom with the light. Nothing. She then looked outside, but also saw nothing. Judy looked at the time on her phone which read 2:45 AM. Judy's eyes grew wide and she shuddered. Whatever made that noise was close, and somewhere near the building. That made her feel uneasy. Judy then got back into bed, and pulled the covers over her. Eventually, she got back to sleep, but what on earth made that noise?
