Hello everyone! Just wanna say that this is my first fan fiction, both to this site and the movie. That means any kind of critiscm is accepted. Also, I don't own the movie nor its rightful properties, as it all belongs to Walt Disney Co.

Hustle in the Bustle

o0o

[Conversation through phone call]

"Good morning. This is the ZPD. How can we be of service to you?"

"Hello, coppa. I found this lovely red purse and the owner goes by the name of Honey Badger."

"Thank you for reporting it to us. Will you return it?"

"No, can you just say thanks to her?" (Ends Call)

It was still early in the morning as the sun bathes the mammal metropolis in a golden stream of sunlight, yet a crime has now been reported straight to the police, by the suspect himself.

Of course, he didn't actually found the bag, he literally snatched it from an unsuspecting female badger who was about to ride the bus to work. Even the smartphone he used didn't belong to him and was part of the victim's belongings.

Hiding in a dark alleyway in a bustling area in Savannah Central, he rested his back on the brick wall outside an apartment complex as he placed the phone back inside the purse. Another succesful hustle, and the sun just came up. What a good start.

The suspect came out from the shadows and into the light. It reveals that he has disheveled brownish fur, straggly whiskers and maroon colored eyes. A tight white tank top, which failed to cover his abdomen area paired with baggy black shorts with red lines were his choice of clothing.

Clutching the purse with both paws and on high alert, Duke Weaselton cautiously observed the environment to see if any officers were in the area. When the coast was clear, the weasel headed out on to the street and disappeared in to the crowd.

You know what's nice to pair the beautiful sunny weather with? A cup of hot coffee accompanied by freshly baked doughnuts. This was how mammals start their day, the Zootopian way.

As mammals walk in and out of coffee shops, traffic finally found a way to settle in, officially starting the rush hour. Vehicles of all kinds flooded the roads and intersections became busy as always. And when mammals arrived at their workplace, they parked their vehicles at the side of the road and paid the parking fee.

And at the front of Snarlbucks Coffee, located at a business district in Downton Savannah Central, a huge and monstrous vehicle painted in black and white with sirens in its roof can be discovered. You can also find a female bunny sitting in the hood of the car, writing something down in a small ZPD booklet with her carrot pen, a small smile across her face.

Dear Diary,

What can I say? This has really been a dull week. Almost no crime reported and as of today, me and my foxy friend here, Nick, has been assigned to patrol duty for the whole day. During the last days, we've been assigned by Chief to do paperwork. When there is none left, he told us to do more paperwork to fill in the time. I'm starting to think that I didn't sign in for this job to sign a ton load of papers. I've even bought 2 carrot pens this week in case the others run out of ink. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Soon, I'll replace my pawcuffs with carrot pens.

But in 3 days time marks the 3 month anniversary of us being partners! I can't wait! I just hope things stay the same, just like me being the sly bunny and him as the dumb, cute fox. Its okay to call him cute, isn't it? I mean, he's not a bunny, unlike me. I don't just want months, I want years of us being partners. I feel comfortable whenever I am with him and I hope he is with me too. He really has a hard time trusting others. Maybe because of his past? Anyways, that's anotherr story for another day.

- Judy

She finished her work and closed her journal and before she could keep it along with her carrot pen in her utility belt, she slightly jumped at the cry for help.

"HELP! THIEF! MY WALLET'S BEEN STOLEN! HEELLPP!"

Faster than the speed of light, Judy Hopps directed her attention to the scream immediately, her long grey ears high up and alert, facing towards the voice and her nose twitching slightly. She was about to hop into the sidewalk before she saw someone in front of her. And when her mind processed it, she felt stupid for falling into it.

"You should've seen the look on your face!" came the words from the mammal who was a male fox with the same golden badge as of hers, carrying a Snarlbucks Coffee paper bag with a paw and the other paw he used to hold his stomach due to excessive laughter as a tear rolled down from his eye.

"Har har. Very funny." Judy stated, rolling her eyes while chuckling slightly of herself as she patted the car's hood, motioning him to sit beside her. Nick, who managed to stop cackling now, wiped a tear and sat beside her while replacing his big grin with a side smile, taking out a white styrofoam cup of caffeine and a box of full of different kinds of dough, choosing a chocolate coated doughnut with sprinkles before passing it to her.

Judy happily accepted it with open arms, receiving the paper bag and the box as she reached a paw inside the bag, getting a smaller coffee cup out and a baked macaron coated in spinach cream sprinkled with carrot bits from the box and after that, she placed the box of dough between them and placed the now empty paper bag flatly above her lap to protect her clothing from crumbs and stains as she began munching on her breakfast.

"So, Carrots. If you wanted to be an author, why did you become a police officer instead?" Nick asked, wagging his tail and brushing it slightly at Judy's back, sipping his coffee while taking a large bite of his doughnut, leaving it a very small portion that was left of it.

Judy's ear perked upwards at his question. She was about to take a bite of her coated macaron but stopped as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"I saw you wrtiting something in that book awhile ago," replied Nick as he took another sprinkled doughnut from the box, his emerald eyes focused on the dark blue booklet beside her. "Mind if I read?"

The doe felt a little heat rising in her cheeks and she was sure her blush was visible through her grey fur. "Uh, no, Nick. Its private property."

The vulpine gave her a puzzled look before figuring out the warm color in her face, as he equipped his smirk. "Hmmm, did you happen to include me there as well?"

For a moment, Judy was not able to think clearly considering the fact that she was more focused on hiding her embarrassment than continuing the converstion. She finally looked at Nick, intentionally furrowing her eyebrow as if pretending to be mad, Judy told the vulpine in an upset manner. "What makes you think I'll include you in there?

"Ouch, Carrots. That really hurts." lied Nick, placing a paw over his chest, pretending to be hurt at Judy's words. The doe looked at him confusingly and was about to say something when she was cut off by a somewhat urgent voice.

"Err... This is dispatch calling all available units. Uhh... We have a report of a 484PS on Downtown Bus Station. I repeat, we have reported a purse theft on Downtown Bus Station. Suspect is described as a small mammal with brown fur and is last spotted heading down err... Evergreen Avenue. To any available units near the vicinity, respond, over."

The sound was bit muffled, considering the police radio was inside the car, but both mammals listened to the command attentively, immediately stopping what they were doing just to hear every single world.

Thankful that their awkward conversation was interrupted, Judy was the first one to get down from the hood of the vehicle, hopping to the ground and entering the vehicle, reaching for the police scanner to reply just in time.

"10-4, Copy that. This is Officer Hopps along with Officer Wilde. We are now en route to the location, over."

Her partner, who trailed lazily behind her, also went inside along with the box of doughnuts as he sat in the passenger's seat, with the doe on the driver's beside him.

"Beats paperwork." Judy said with a bit of humour, finally setting herself to the seat as she inserted the keys and twisted it, turning the engine on.

Nick, who had a relaxed smirk, leaned himself much more closer to the radio to respond. "So uhh, Big Ben. Do we really need to go?"

Judy stared at Nick in disbelief. Sometimes, she had some regrets of having him as her partner, but the cons did not surpass the pros. Even at times like this, he still knows how to crack a joke, as she chuckled at the thought.

"Unless if you want to get yelled at from Chief, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Now, its showtime, officers. Do your jobs while I do mine." Benjamin Clawhauser, who was the dispatcher paused as a munching sound took over, probably eating doughnuts.

"Oh! And by the way, just call me Benjamin, please."

"Loud and clear, Cheetos." Nick finished as he relaxed back to his seat, his paws at the back of his head. He heard another chuckle coming from the rabbit, who had both paws gripped tightly at the wheel.

"Wait," Nick said in a puzzled tone, his gaze focused on Judy. "So you're driving?"

Judy smirked. "Yeah. I wouldn't want to end up in a hospital bed if you were driving."

"Touché." Nick let out a smal laugh at her witty response, directing his attention to the road, taking his aviators out from his breast pocket and putting them on. "Like Clawhauser said, its showtime."

With her game face on, she changed gear and stepped hard on the gas, which she swore was the gas and not the brakes, as the police cruiser they were in immediately went in a prolonged reverse and as a result, she heard a frantic scream coming from Nick who held on to his seat for dear life.

"JUUUUDDDDYYYY!"

A/N: And that's that! The end of a chapter and the start of a story. I hope you enjoyed it, because I enjoyed writing every word too. :)

Now for the story, I'm doing my best to keep this story to the same level of the original movie, which I can say that keeping up with it is nearly impossible, for the movie itself was PERFECT! :D I cannot asure you how many days it will take to release a new chapter but what I can assure is that I will try to release it as soon as possible.

There will be no "explicit" scenes or languages in this fiction because: 1) Doing that so will break the T rating and 2) I feel that it is not really necessary. Instead, I will replace it with fluff, which I think is more suitable for readers of all age, which I am intending to do. Also at this point, I may ask someone to beta read my chapters, because my English is not that good. If you would like to, you can PM me, and we'll negotiate. :)

Please do feel free to review, and any kind of support, either a favorite or a follow, is greatly appreciated. :D

Now, I'm off to start on the next chapter. And for now, I bid you adieu.

This has been Inc1nerous, bringing to you the best of his imagination. Take care!
