Dramatic percussion music… "Fear, treachery, bloodlust. Thousands of years ago, these were the forces that ruled our world! A world where prey were scared of predators, and predators had a uncontrollable, biological urge to maim, and maul, and… ahhhh!"

"Pfttt!"

"Blood…"

"tehehehe!"

"…And death!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Nick, what are you watching?" Judy asked curiously as she drives the cruiser through the busy city streets, patrolling.

"It's your old Carrot day show that your dad posted on Muzzlebook," Nick said as he wiped his tears, "and I have to say that it is quite entertaining."

"How did you manage to friend my dad on Muzzlebook?" Judy asked with disbelief

"What, I told them the truth. I said I am you partner now. It's not like I would use some slick fox method to let them add me. And by the way I would love to try some of Gideon's blueberry pies."

"You friended Gideon too?!"

"I never knew that you had such a good fox friend. Why didn't you tell me? It would have explained the fox deterrent."

"What is wrong with you? Does digging in to my life in the burrows make you feel good about your sad miserable self?" Judy asked angrily.

"Yes it does, 100%. It reminds me that you too had a not so likeable past. And by the way my life is no longer sad and miserable, thanks to a bunny."

Suddenly the cruiser jerked to a halt and reversed into an empty parking space. Judy took off the seat belt and hopped out of the vehicle.

Nick looked curiously, holding his pawpsicle and rubbing his chest where the seatbelt hurt him as his eyes followed his partner around the cruiser. The bunny stopped in front of an expired parking metre, quickly punched a few buttons and left the ticket on the windshield. His eyes continued to follow the bunny as it came around the cruiser again and hopped back in.

"I thought you never liked putting tickets on parked cars."

"No I don't. But if they are right there, why not provide the ZPD with some extra funds?"

Things had been quite calm after the Night Howler incident. Having it end not long ago, the remaining effects from it still remains. One would think that it would still cause distrust between predator and prey, but it only bonded the mammals in Zootopia like never before. Crime had also decreased. Mr. Big became a very valuable informant to the ZPD as his new born granddaughter's godmother is an officer. Judy did go back to Bunnyburrow once after Bellwether's arrest, but unfortunately Nick couldn't go because he needs to go report to the academy.

The cruiser jerked to a halt again as it pulled over to the side.

"Carrots, could you please be easier on the brakes?"

"I thought you said all rabbits are bad drivers. Come on, get out." Judy hopped out.

"Wait, where are we going?" Nick asked, Pawpsicle still in his mouth.

"To buy a Jumbo Pop. It is about time for me to have the 15 dollars back."

Judy pushed open the giant door and stood at the back of the line. The fox shrugged his shoulders and followed. The elephant behind the counter noticed the two as they reached the front of the line and frowned.

"Look, I don't want any trouble, metre maid. What do you want?"

"Jerry, I am not looking for any trouble, I just want a red Jumbo Pop."

"I think the last time you bought a red Jumbo Pop things didn't go too well." His trunk pointing towards Nick.

"You know what, you are perfectly right. That's why he is paying for it." Judy pushed Nick forward.

"Haven't you had enough of that fox?" Jerry asked, not knowing that they are friends now. "And what is with his costume?"

"Um, Sir!" Nick said loudly, "I am a cop!"

"And you expect me to believe that nonsense?" Jerry questioned him angrily, as Nick did cause him much grief in the past.

"Look Jerry," Judy spoke before Nick could talk back, "We just want to buy a Jumbo Pop. And I am glad that you have now gloved those trunks."

"15 dollars." The elephant said uneasily.

Nick took out a 10-dollar bill and put it on the counter. "The 5 we paid last time, thank you." He went over, grabbed the Jumbo Pop and walked to the door, waiting for Judy to open it for him.

As they walked back to the cruiser, Nick had an idea.

"You know, carrots, it is only about one in the afternoon. If we are fast enough, we could probably make 200 extra bucks today. That is 100 each. I doubt Chief Buffalo Butt would mind. We don't have much to do anyways."

"What? You still have your permit? And the Receipt of Declared Commerce? Are you serious?"

"Of course. What made you think that I'd get rid of it?"

"Gee, I don't know. Because you are a full time cop now?"

"If I were you, I would make sure that I always have a second option." Nick handed the Jumbo Pop to Judy and jumped in on the driver side. "Let me show you how to drive, carrots." Judy sighed and hopped in the car.

Nick is not a very experienced driver. He learned to drive at the academy, giving him only about a month of time to learn, but he knows the streets of Zootopia like the back of his paw, taking shortcuts that Judy never knew about, reaching Sahara Square in only half the time it usually takes.

The rest is history.

However much Judy was reluctant at doing this, she still helped Nick when she saw that giant smile on Nick's face. Soon all the pawpsicle sticks were sold at they got 100 bucks each.

Just as they are walking back to the cruiser and return to the precinct, a very serious question came to Judy's mind.

"Nick. Should we report this on our tax forms?" She stopped and asked.

"You can do whatever you want, fluff." Nick said, as he continued towards the cruiser with a pawpsicle in his hand. "Just for your reference, I personally would not be reporting it."

Judy returned to her apartment, throwing herself on the bed. This place had been her home for how long now? She moved to Zootopia for the first time at the end of August, she remembered, and it was only a week and three days before she resigned and went back to Bunnyburrow. Lucky for her, she found out what Night Howlers were in just five days. Even thinking about it makes her feel happy. She drove all the way back to Zootopia and solved the case within 36 hours, not mentioning getting her friend back. She was able to find her former land lord and rent the apartment again. She even started to like Bucky and Pronk. Nick soon went off to the academy and returned after one and half months. "Yep it's right," she thought to herself. It is nearing the end of October. Just within these two short months, her life had changed dramatically. With the memories of the past two months, she fell asleep.
