I was originally planning on making this into a comic. I thought the story could have been told better that way. There's just one minor problem. I CAN'T DRAW! Oh well. No use crying over spilt milk. Hope this is still enjoyable.

Chapter I:

Judy Hopps was sitting alone in the Zootopia Police Department's conference room. As the other more boisterous officers around her kept their attention on the latest gossip, or else showed off their bruting strength in arm wrestling matches, Judy had her eyes fixed on the clock mounted on the wall in front of her. It wasn't like her partner to be this late. The morning briefing was to start in five minutes. If Nick missed it, then it could set the duo back at parking duty. Judy had worked far too hard to earn the respect of her fellow officers to let something as careless and irresponsible as lack of punctuality ruin it for her.

With only a mere minute to spare the door flew open. At last, Nick Wilde, had arrived, carrying a small paper bag in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, his sunglasses still obscuring his eyes. Without sparing a glance around the room, Nick walked down the aisle, and sat down in the same seat as Judy. "Well." Judy said immediately, speaking over the cacophony around them. "I do hope you have a good reason for almost missing role call this morning." Pulling off his sunglasses, Nick set down his coffee on the table in front of them, and pulled a donut out of his paper bag. "Does a spiced carrot cake donut count?" He asked, handing it to Judy. "Hmm. That it does." Said Judy, accepting the donut. "Ah, but you wouldn't believe the line." Said Nick, kicking his legs onto the table, with one arm behind his head, and the other raising his coffee to his lips. He took a sip before continuing. "I forgot that it's Chinese New Year. "Year of the Rooster. All feather fowl get a free donut." So naturally, everyone and their grandmother had to participate in that. Vultures." He added disapprovingly. Officer Talon, the Andean Condor, who had overheard the conversation, gave Nick a menacing look.

"Atten HUT!" Shouted the sergeant, announcing the arrival of Chief Bogo, who had just entered the room. Everyone stood up from where they sat in acknowledgment. "HUT HUT HUT HUT!" Chanted the bruting officers, some banging their fists against the tables, a couple of wolves howling. "Yeah yeah. Settle down." Said Bogo absentmindedly. "HUT HUT HUT! " The officers continued. "I SAID SHUT IT!" Bogo shouted loud enough to be heard. The room went silent. "Please be seated." Everyone, except for Nick and Judy, who continued to stand on thier chair to see, took their seats. "Now." Bogo began. "First, I would like to thank all those who participated in last nights Fish and Sea Mamals awareness conference."

"Yeah." Nick spoke out. "I'd say it went quite swimmingly." Judy and a couple of the other officers chuckled quietly. "Can it, Wilde!" Ordered Bogo before clearing his throat to continue. "Next. As I'm sure you're all aware of by now, our city has seen a rise in crime activity in the past few months. Vandalism in the park, leaving behind some seemingly disturbing graffiti. Muggings, and several robberies at local gas stations. But, this time, they have crossed the line. Today we have received a letter in the mail. It threatens a bomb to blow in the center of town unless twenty million dollars are delivered." Judy gasped quietly. "Now." Bogo continued. "While ZPD has ordered a complete evacuation of the area, we want to catch these criminals. That's why we are going to send in our two best officers. Hopps, Wilde!" Nick, who had been dozing in his chair, jumped and gave a small snort. "You'll be stationed at the designated drop sight. There we can finally put and end to this." Judy gave Bogo a salute of respect. "We won't let you down, sir!" She said confidently. "Yeah yeah yeah." Said Bogo. "You're dismissed. As for the rest of you."

Nick slid down from their chair, followed by Judy. "You hear that, Nick?" Said Judy, once exiting the precinct. "Two best officers" he said." She gave an excited squeal. "That's a pretty big honor."

"Yeah. Congrats, Carrots." Said Nick, sliding his hands into his uniform pockets. "Aw, come on, Nick." Said Judy, giving Nick a sharp punch to the arm. "Have some pride."

"I do." Said Nick. "I just don't need to express it with girlish squeals."

"Funny." Said Judy. "Sly fox."

"Dumb bunny. " Said Nick.
