My Christmas Bunny

Nick looked over his handy work and smiled. Judy would be home in an hour or so and he just knew she'd love it! He told her that he had to go on ahead to do a few things before their trip to BunnyBurrow later that night. He didn't actually tell the whole truth, but he did make a few stops on the way home. And he'd even finished well ahead of time and eventually found that he'd been correct and then some.

He thought about his bunny and his smile widened. His bunny – the thought just rattled around in his mind and he couldn't help chuckling. Who would have ever thought that a Rabbit and a Fox could fall in love and eventually get married! Oh they did have a few disagreements and arguments, but what couple didn't. But it was always fun to makeup! And his bunny was so creative! Then again so was he.

Then he thought back to the bridge when his bunny came back to him and he'd held her in his arms for the first time. His heart was beating so fast that he wondered she might've actually heard it! Right then he'd fallen in love with her. He'd wanted to gently tilt her head back and put his lips to hers right then and there! But he was afraid that he might be taking things just a bit too fast for her. He'd missed her terribly when she'd gone back home. In hindsight he should've went to BunnyBurrow to see her instead of mopping around for months. With her supple body pressed tightly against his and scent of his bunny filling his world a certain physiological change began to take place. Not wanting to embarrass himself he quickly thought and then told her that she was standing on his tail. She hopped back and he sighed.

It had taken months for him to work up the courage to tell her and he thumped his forehead remembering the clumsy way he finally did. Then the first time they were alone together and he just blurted it out.

"You know you love me," he said and unconsciously smiled.

"Do I know that?" she said, looking away for just a moment and his smile disappeared. Then she looked back at him, purple eyes meeting green ones. "Yes." She leaned just a bit closer with just a hint of a smile and his returned too. "Yes, I do."

He wanted to take her into his arms, but just then the light changed. They started to move forward and a red car sped past, almost taking off the frontend off their cruiser. He turned on the lights and his bunny hit gas, making the cruiser fishtail. God she was beautiful! The car stopped and it was his old buddy Flash. He stood there and just smiled as his bunny wrote Flash several tickets. The sloth looked at him plaintively, but he just kept on smiling. His bunny looked sort of pleased with herself too. Then he came back to the present and laughed at the memories. Then he went back through the house a second time just make sure that everything was just perfect.

Two hours later he heard the car door slam and knew Judy was pissed.


Judy tried to keep the car under the speed limit, but it was really difficult. All she wanted to do was spend Christmas Eve alone with her Fox, but no! Being Nick training officer – thank God that would be over at the end of the month – she not only had to fill out her own daily report, but one on Nick too! She just finished and forwarded them to Chief Bogo.

"Hopps... I mean Wilde!" he bellowed across the station just as she was putting on her coat. She ran to Chief Bogo's office. "You made a mistake on your reports! You forgot to fill in line 47 on both. I just sent them back. Go back and fix them!"

She sighed, thought for moment and then it came to her.

"But sir, these are new revised forms we got yesterday. You only have to fill in line 47 if you answer yes to both line 45 and 46."

"Hopps!" he bellowed, pointing a finger at her. "Just do it!"

"Yes, sir," she said and went back to her desk, flopping in her chair. "Sweet cheese and crackers!"

She knew at this point it was simply a waste of time to argue with him. She just had to print them out and show him. She giggled at the thought of showing him that he was wrong. He'd be grumpy all the next day – well more grumpy than usual, but of course, the next day was Christmas and she wouldn't see him. She sat down to pull up the documents or at least she tried to. Then she growled and she went back to Chief Bogo's office.

"Sir..."

He looked at his PC and then looked back at her.

"So where are they?"

"Sir, I was trying to tell you – I didn't get them."

He went back to his PC, did a bit of typing, click a few times with his mouse, and then looked back at her.

"Officer Wilde, it seems like they're gone," he said in a level voice and saw her wince. "I guess you'll just have to do them over."

"But... Sweet cheese and... Damn it!" she exclaimed and then sighed. "Yes, sir."

She went back to her desk, took off her coat, and started over. The paperless office will make you life easier. That was a load bull...loney, she thought. An hour and twenty minutes later she finished again and this time she printed them out and only then sent the reports to Bogo.


She pulled into the driveway and slammed the car door. It was 9:10pm on Christmas Eve and sound broke the silence like a gunshot. She winced and looked around, thankfully not seeing any reaction from their neighbors. She quickly walked to the front door and the outside light came on. She took out her keys and only then noticed the Christmas wreath – there was a large red heart in the middle of it. What was her sly old Fox up to now? It only took a moment for her come to the correct conclusion. Then she giggled and opened the door.

On the floor was another heart and she smiled and shut the door gently. A foot after the first was a second then a third just beyond that one and then a fourth, fifth, and a sixth. Ah! It was a trail and she followed as it led upstairs to their bedroom. She smiled and opened the door, but didn't find what she'd expected.

On the bed was a negligee and to say it was sheer was understatement. She held it up and giggled. Soon her uniform was only a pile on the floor and she stood in front of the full length mirror. Her ears turned a cherry red and she quickly turned to see that the window shades were drawn. She sighed in relief.

Only then did she notice another heart on the other door which opened to the hall that led to the back stairs. She opened the door and found more hearts. They led down the hall and then lay on each step. At the bottom they led away to back of the house. Judy smiled and continued to follow. They ended at another door with one last large red heart. She opened it and there was her Fox lying on a rug before a roaring fire.


Nick looked toward the door as it opened and there stood his bunny. She smiled and walked toward him languidly. Then she sat beside her Fox and for a time they only looked into each other's eyes. Then she stared into the fire.

"So...," she said and felt him draw her closer.

"Merry Christmas," he said and lay her back – one hand behind her head.

"And my present?" she asked and he touched his chest. She smiled. "May I open it now?"

"Yes," he said in his low husky voice.

She smiled and then leaned her head back. His tongue touched her throat and she moaned.


They heard one bong as the clock stuck.

"It's 1AM. Last call for the BunnyBurrow Express!" came from the loud speaker.

"I told you we'd be late!" she said and poked him in the ribs.

"And whose fault was that?" he said as they continued to run. He noticed her blush and smiled. "We'll make it!"

They did just as the doors closed. She frowned up at her Fox and he smiled back. Then he took her bag and they went up to the observation blister. They sat and his arm went around her.

"Is everything OK?"

She looked at him and then smiled.

"You're my naughty Fox."

He chuckled.

"Of course I am," he and gave her a foxy smile, "and you're my Christmas bunny."

There lips touched and train sped off into the night.
