Judy Hopps was excited for Nick and her TV night. Every week the two of them would get together to watch a movie or a TV show, and tonight was the premiere of the latest season of "Star Fox," a space opera that starred a mercenary team of space animals that fought for the freedom of the galaxy against the evil scientist Andross.

Using the spare key that Nick provided her, Judy walked into his apartment to find everything set up on the coffee table, but the fox in question was not present in the main room.

"Nick, I'm here for our TV night," Judy called. Not getting a response, Judy put down her own snacks on the table and walked over to Nick's bedroom, knocking on the door. "Nick, are you in there?"

"Um… I'm in the middle of something, Carrots," came a voice from the other side. It sounded like Nick, but there was something off about it.

"You okay in there?" Judy asked.

"Everything is fine, Carrots, just don't come in," Nick said.

Judy was not convinced that 'everything was fine,' and decided to go against the fox's wishes and opened the door.

"Judy, don't!" pleaded the voice, but it was too late.

The bunny walked in to find a fox, but definitely not Nick. For one, the fox was female, which Nick was not.

"Who are you?" Judy questioned, "What are you doing in Nick's apartment?" The bunny got up the vixen's face and said, "Are you his secret girlfriend he hasn't told his actual girlfriend about?"

The vixen froze, curling in on herself before responding, "I'm Nicole Wilde, sister of Nick Wilde. He's... not here at the moment, and I'm housekeeping for him until he gets back."

Judy's gaze narrowed, "Nick doesn't have a sister, and if he did, I would have known about her."

Nicole sighed. "Fine, you got me. I'm not Nick's sister."

Concentrating, a white light surrounded the vixen, slowly growing and shifting until a male fox stood in her place.

"I am Nick Wilde," said Nick. "Surprise?"

And at that, Judy proceeded to faint.


Author's Note

New Zootopia story ahoy! This is one that has been on my mind for a while. I find the idea of gender-swapping to be naturally hilarious, so doing a comedy focused story around Nick having this problem was inevitable for me.

Unlike my other story, this one is going to be more slice-of-life and won't have an overarching story. Though some of the characters from over there may appear here and in future Zootopia stories.

Also, this is not in the same universe as the ZHU, it's set in the main movie universe.

Next time we will get the backstory on Nick's situation.
