Before the End

Chapter 1: Working with the fuzz.

It was Nick's first day of police training and he was fast asleep in his bed when his phone rang waking him up. With his eyes still closed Nick reached for his phone and opened one eye to see who was calling, once he did he let out a sigh and answered.

"Do you have any idea what time it is carrots," Nick whined still half asleep.

"Of course I do, it's 5:30 time for work," Judy said excitedly.

"I should have known you'd wake me up this early," Nick growled.

"Oh come on... I'll get you coffee," Judy said charmingly.

"Ah coffee my only weakness... fine I'm getting up," Nick said as he sat up in bed.

"Great I'll meet you at the academy," Judy said happily.

"Gotcha carrots," Nick yawned.

As Nick's paws hit the cold wood floor he felt a unpleasant chill down his spine. Nick's apartment was small but not quite as small as Judy's, it looked a bit bigger with all his things packed up. Nick forced himself to get up and get ready, he wasn't looking forward to the police training after solving the night-howler cast with Judy he already concentered himself a police officer and he didn't feel the need to prove himself to anyone. Even so he was more than willing to go through the training, after everything that happened Nick was determined to be more than a untrustworthy fox. Not only that but Nick wanted to be Judy's partner more than anything, somewhere along the line Judy had stolen Nick's heart without him even realizing it until recently.

Though Nick known his feelings could never see the light of day he was willing to do just about anything to be around her. Nick didn't have much just two bags worth of stuff, he made his way to the Zootopia Police Academy to see Judy standing by the gate enterince waiting for him. Nick walked up to her setting his bags on the ground beside him.

"Morning Nick I got your coffee oh and I got you a blueberry muffin, I figured you didn't have breakfast," Judy said as she handed Nick the coffee and a little bag with the muffin inside.

"Oh you didn't have to do that I don't normally eat breakfast... but thanks you know how I love blueberries," Nick said happily as he peaked in the bag to look at the muffin.

"Are you ready for today," Judy asked curiously.

"Carrots I was pretty much born ready," Nick said confudently after taking a sip of his coffee.

"I don't doubt that," Judy laughed.

"Who did you say is the instructor here," Nick asked halfheartedly.

"That would be major Friedkin, she trained me... she's well... motivating," Judy said trying to sound positive.

Just then major Friedkin walked up to them and looked at Nick long and hard before sighing.

"You must be one of the new recruits, Wilde is it," Friedkin asked as she looked at the clipboard in her paw.

"Yes that's me," Nick said confudently.

"Well you'll be under my command I'm major Friedkin, here's the key to your dorm room," Friedkin said as she handed the key to Nick then turned her attention to Judy.

"Right, I'll just bring my stuff to the dorm," Nick told Judy before picking up his bags.

"Alright I'll be right there to help you unpack," Judy said happily.

Nick walked off with his blueberry muffin in his mouth and Judy smiled at major Friedkin.

"Well it's good to see you officer Hopps," Friedkin said proudly.

"You too, hey Nick is a pal of mine so be sure to keep a eye on him for me huh oh and don't be too hard on him," Judy asked gingerly.

"I believe I can handle that for your sake fuzzy bunny," Friedkin laughed.

Nick walked until he found his room number and unlocked the door. It wasn't much but he didn't need much since he would only be living there temporarily. He set his bags on the bed when Judy walked in.

"You know, I got this," Nick said with his I can handle this grin.

"Aw but I came here to help you unpack," Judy protested.

"Yeah but as you can see I didn't bring much... it won't take me long at all to get unpacked," Nick insisted.

"Fine I should probably get to the station soon anyway, I heard from Clawhauser I might be assigned a squad car today," Judy said excitedly.

"I would love to see you behind the wheel of one of those things fluff," Nick teased.

"Hey I'm a good driver," Judy blurted out as she thumped her foot.

"Easy carrots, I'm just messing with you... now go make the world a better place," Nick said reassuringly.

"You got it, I'll text you after I get off work," Judy said happily as she waved goodbye.

After she left Nick started unpacking, the real reason he didn't want Judy's help unpacking was he didn't want her to see all the family photos he brought with him. Just then Nick got a e-mail from major Friedkin saying the first meeting would be at 9:00 in the main building. Nick had some time to kill so he continued unpacking until it was time to head out.
