With that being said, enjoy my story!

Chapter 1 – Throw of the Dice.

That was a Friday and everything went normal that day. Nick and I were sitting in our office, with already finished work. We still had some free time until the end of the day. Nick casually found some dice cubes in his drawer, so now we were trying to get as close numbers as possible.

"Ha! Got 5 and 3! Try to get closer!" I shouted with feeling as if I won million dollars.

"Nice try, Carrot top! But look at this!" Nick said before throwing 2 more dice cubes, "My luck works every time, trust me!"

Nick's cubes landed on table, flipped few times and showed a 6 and a 1.

"Well, except the times when it's not working" Nick said with a slight smile on his face, while I was laughing about his "lucky" throw.

"Alright, alright, maybe I'm not that lucky!" He replied again after several seconds, because I was still laughing.

"Yea, looks like it" I answered while wiping a tear from my eyes.

The electronic watch on the wall clicked and released slight "beep" sound.

The noise of opening doors and people coming out of their offices began to increase slowly.

Before getting up, Nick leaned back in his chair and said, "Today was a good day!"

"Indeed it is, partner, but you better work harder next time and not just look out the window all the time while I'm doing our work" I replied with mocking notes in my voice and a slight smile.

Nick rolled his eyes, "Ah, come on, I did well today, I even filled half of the reports!"

"Out of 20 we had to fill?" I said with some irony and tried not to giggle too much.

"As you can see, I broke all the records today!" Nick said, making the both of us laugh a little

We went out of our office and head straight to the exit of ZPD station.

Almost everyone left the building, except for us, Clawhauser and few other mammals who worked on the night shift.

"See you guys after the weekend!" Clawhauser shouted to us just before we left the building.

"See you too!" We both answered.

The weather this evening was warm and a bit windy, but still very comfortable and lovely.

It was the perfect opportunity to watch the stars in the sky, because it was already pretty dark, and there wasn´t too much electric light to shine them up. We both were looking at this beautiful scene in absolute silence.

As we made our way to our cars, Nick said:

"So looks like we have some free days to spend, don't you want to make a stroll through the park nearby tomorrow?"

I stopped in my tracks for a while. Looked like I don't have any plans and… Come on, even If I had some I'd rather move them on next day and spend time with Nick, so I said:

"Yes, I'd like to! What time do you want to meet?"

He slightly smiled because of my answer and said:

"Mm, what about 9 AM?"

"This is great! So, see you soon?" I asked.

"Yup, see you!" He said and we both went to our cars

We started our engines and drove out of the parking lot. On the way to my apartment, the only thing I could think of was Nick. That fox I would like to spend time with. He´s the only person, I able to entrust all of my secrets. I could not even remember time I spent with Nick, when I wasn't smiling or feeling lucky.

I came home, opened my door and looked at my apartment. Yes, still the same old apartment I got when I arrived in Zootopia for the first time. Dusty, old and filled with sound by noisy neighbors. The thought about changing it flashed in my head but it was instantly interrupted by loud music from the room next to mine

"Argh, come on!" I grumbled angrily into the wall. "I can´t sleep with this noise going on!"

"Do you think we care?" someone answered.

I just simply sat on my bed with crossed arms and an angry expression on my face. I have to do something with it, but definitely not today.

After 5 minutes of listening to awful music, I got a call from Nick. I answered almost immediately:

"Ah, yea? Nick?"

"Hello again, Carrots!"

"Hi, how can I help you?"

"Well, I was thinking about if… what´s that sound in the background? Are you listening to «Top 5 worst singers» on ZooTube?» he asked, after stopping in his tracks for a second.

I giggled, "No, that's my «best neighbors ever» decided to peacefully spend their evening"

"Yo, you aren't best neighbor too!" same voice said but now behind my door.

I just stared at the door with a stunned face.

"What the hell are you doing there?" I asked

"I carried some food to our party and heard you called us «best neighbors eve..."

"Just freaking go already!" I shouted.

Looks like Nick heard everything because I heard some laughing out of the phone.

"What a bunch of fools live here. Yea, you told me about them before, that's actually why I was calling you. I remembered about how loud and noisy they are and I was wondering…if…" It took him some courage to ask that. "…if you wanna spend the night at my place?"

My mood rose instantly.

"Nick, this would be absolutely great! But I don't know where you live!"

"Don't worry Carrots, I will pick you up in 10 minutes"

"Thanks! I will wait for you" I said and dropped my phone on the bed after hanging up.

It's so nice of him! Being with Nick was the only thing I needed right now. In addition, it's good he knows where I live. He was in my apartment to pick some reports for Bogo last week; luckily those neighbors weren't home on this day.

I leaned my back against the bed and just closed my eyes, waiting Nick to come.
