One year after the Nighthowler case Judy and Nick were now married, nothing could be better than being the best investigative police duo in the ZPD. When a case was too difficult for other Officers to get a few clues if the duo were called to the same incident within the same amount of time that would take other Officers to get a few clues the duo would find and arrest the culprit and locking them away. However, when they are not investigating a crime. Due to their efficiency, there never seemed to be enough mysteries that needed their attention thus, they are forced to do the boring task of patrol duty

"So, Carrots are you bored out of your mind too?" The red fox asked while adjusting his aviator glasses with a board look across his muzzle. His emerald green eyes looking through his aviators at his partner, the sound of motorists driving by and civilians on the crosswalk talking on their phones filled the background, along with a sigh of boredom that left Nick muzzle

"No, it is only you also we have only been patrolling for ten minutes. Plus, I like patrol duty." The cheerful gray rabbit with amethyst eyes said before, her ears picked up the sound of a sigh emanating from her partner, "what is wrong?" Judy asked, her amethyst eyes locking on to Nick. While they remained parked at a red light

"It is nothing. I just think we need to take a vacation, you know a little change of pace. Instead of stopping in front of Weaseltons want-to-be bootleg stall, just to watch him quickly pick up all the DVDs into his bag so that we cannot charge him because the evidence is out of our reach and we would need a warrant to seize said bag," Nick said while using air quotes when mentioning evidence.

Judy and Nick had an uneventful day except for several misdemeanors and a literal little bank robbery at Mice of Zootopia, located in Little Rodentia. Returning the police cruiser back to the precinct before they signed out, the sun had reached the horizon, allowing the stars to fill the sky walking over to their car. The Zootopian version of a Mercedes-Benz, they started heading back home on the way. However, they passed a pizza parlor with the aroma of freshly baked pizza pies poured out the front doors. Judy and Nick had to stop by the parlor purchasing a large half pepperoni half carrot slice extra cheese pizza to go; they stood near the counter inhaling the mouthwatering scent that came from some traditional brick ovens. Receiving their pizzas, they returned to their route home. The stars in the sky were now more visible as they returned home. They immediately set the pizza down on the kitchen table before heading to their room to get out of their uniforms while they ate the pizza, Nick had resumed talking about going on a vacation since they had put in many hours and that they were punctual by fifteen minutes. Judy was up to it. Then, she remembered that they would have to get an okay from their stern Chief Bogo

"Hey Judy, I will go ahead and call Bogo to see if he is okay with us going on a vacation." Nick politely offered, pulling his phone from his pocket. Scrolling through his contact list, he finds the Chiefs number at the bottom. "Of course, he is at the bottom. I barely want to talk to him at the precinct," Nick mumbled to himself, hoping that Judy was too distracted by the pizza to hear him. Nick hesitantly pressed the call button to the chief

In a large office, with paper strong across the room in a mess, behind a desk was a huge cape buffalo known as chief Bogo obsessing over Gazelle music videos. Unfortunately, though, his video had paused due to an incoming call from Nick Wilde, frustrated that he would have to rewind the video. He answered the phone with annoyance in his voice, "What is it, Wilde? I am in the middle of sorting some paperwork." He said, snarling loudly and slamming his right arm against the desk before then, reaching up to rub his temple in an attempt to calm down

"Come on we both know that is a lie, chief you were listening to the latest Gazelle Album," he said, teasing his boss

"Wilde!" The chief said about to lecture Nick however, he was stopped before he could as Nick began to speak

"Anyway Judy and I were wondering how many vacation days do we have?" He asked, waiting while the stern cape buffalo to answer. While he heard typing in the background

"Give me a minute," Bogo said as he answered while snorting in frustration. While looking for the documents on the computer, he looked up Officer Hopps, and Officer Wilde "According to the files both you and Hopps have a month each, of vacation time. However, the maximum I will allow you to take is a week. So when are you planning your trip?" The harsh chief asked, "Wait, Wait a Minute Wilde! You could have called Clawhauser to get this information," the caped Buffalo yelled into the phone loud enough that Clawhauser could hear every word the chief had said

"Wow, we saved that much time. Yeah, yeah a week sounds good. Oh, and at the end of the week Oh yeah so I could have, sorry bye," Nick said in haste before hanging up the phone "well that went better than I thought. Mr. Grouchy was not as grouchy as usual until we both realize I could have called Clawhauser," he mentioned with a sly grin on his face "so where is it you want to go for a week, Carrots?"

"Let's see how about my family. It has been a few months since we have seen my family" Judy suggested before then, turning to Nick "and yeah you should have called Clawhauser you Dumb Fox" Judy said with a large grin on her face

"Sly Bunny, you know you love me," Nick stated while keeping his trademark sly smile

Judy was swift to answer "do I know that… yes, yes I do" she stated her answer to his question Nick looked as if he was about to say no to seeing her family again until Judy began to abuse her mastery of cuteness

Nick then remembered the last time he visited, a look fell upon his face as if he was about to say no to seeing her family again until Judy began to abuse her mastery of cuteness

"Fine, fine, I will pack the SWAT shield and the bomb squad bombs suit." He said while trying to maintain his sly smile at the same time holding back his fear from the last time he visited, a bunny tsunami nearly killed him.

Judy had rolled her eyes, to the comment, "you're overly dramatic. Besides, I thought you would be happy to know that The Hopps blueberries are in season." Nice and ready to pick Judy had said with a slight hum of pride in her voice, as she had said that Nick's eyes begin to grow and his muzzle began to look like it was going to overflow as his maw watered.

The next four days were uneventful, making Monday the most eventful day of the month. Thursday evening the duo had begun packing, instead of doing their usual routine of eating dinner and going to bed. Nick grabbed a weeks worth of green shirts with palm trees and leafs designs on them, along with several pairs of shorts and a phone charger, however, on the opposite side of the bed. It looked as if Judy was packing to go to war, almost emptying her half of the closet into a dozen or so suitcases

"Carrots are you sure you need all those clothes? We're not going abroad, we are going to your parent's home," Nick stated. With a worried look on his face as he knew, he would have to lug all of it around

"You never know something could happen when I will need…" She trailed off as Nick then finished her sentence for her

"Need a flannel shirt?" Judy became upset at his comment as she puffed her cheeks out she grabbed a couple of suitcases and put them back into the closet.

"There is that better!" She asked while tapping her foot at incredible speed, Nick decided to keep his mouth shut until they were finished packing. Seeing how it was still early in the night they decided to watch a movie on Petflix the Zootopia version of Netflix. It did not take them long to go to bed. As they knew, they had a long trip the next day

Time: 12 AM Friday the start of vacation Location: somewhere between Bunnyburrow and Zootopia

"So how far are we from your hometown Carrots?" Nick asked as his window rolled down. He places his right elbow outside the window of the passenger side, stuck his head out the window The air had already started to become more refreshing. as the further they got from Zootopia, Nick, wearing his signature aviator sunglasses, that he believed made him look cool, at least in his head, looked into the distance seeing no cloud in the sky. The sun was bringing its rays upon everything that was not obstructed even so; there was a cool gentle breeze. Perfect for having a picnic, going to the beach or in Nick and Judy's case seeing family

"Oh roughly 20 minutes, give or take a few were fortunate to have left early look at the traffic going into the city." Judy commented after answering Nick question she then began pointing out the densely packed Highway "next week will have to leave even earlier if we want to beat that" she said, referring to the dense traffic heading to the city. The sound of car horns and yelling was evident of everyone, frustration in traffic

After arriving at the Hopps Homestead, Nick slowly exiting the car He had become paranoid. Keeping his head on a swivel before reaching the front door, giving it a few knocks the one to answer. Fortunately, for Nick was Judy's mother Bonnie "Judy, Nick, come on inside." Bonnie welcomed her daughter and stepson her right Swinging her arm inwards as a jester for them to enter the massive home "Judy why didn't you call ahead of time I would have backed a pie or something" Bonnie questioned them with a cheerful smile on her face

"Yes, sorry Bonnie for not calling ahead of time, we decided to take a week vacation from work as it was beginning to become annoying and as for the pie side of things…OW, what was that for?" Nick asked looking down at Jude who had just elbowed him in the ribs, "even with fresh air pain is still a pain." Nick muttered to himself while he held his left side

"That is for only thinking about pie," Judy stated while giving Nick a stern glare before turning to her mother. "By the way mom, where is dad?" Judy inquired not seeing him within the Fourier. However, her attention swiftly changes to her younger brothers and sisters, some with cheerful smiles to her and some with curious looks on their faces towards the fox that accompanied their older sister, the kits we're very curious of Nick as he was taller and thinner than the fox Baker who's name was Gideon Gray that they knew. Many of the slightly older kits simply said or waved hi to Nick, unlike all the younger kits, who continue to examine him before discovering his fluffy tail, smiles immediately covered their faces as they ran toward his tail as if it was a toy.

"Okay, I am glad it is only a handful of you, I guess I did not need to bring the SWAT shield after all," Nick muttered to himself, as he was okay with the kits playing with his tail, until they all thought it was a good idea to play tug-of-war with it. "Ouch!" Nick "yelped" from the Antics. "No pulling the tail that really hurts!" he said with a tear forming in his left eye "Okay, please leave the tail alone. I need to go get the luggage." Nick cried while trying to get out of the tail-tug-of-war,

While Nick slowly got the luggage into the home at the same time dragging two bunny kits on his tail, Judy and her mother Bonnie had walked off towards the kitchen. "Your father is tending to the crops. Right now, was there something important you needed to talk to him about honey?" Bonnie questioned just to see her daughter shake her head.

"Nothing important," Judy said in reassuring that there was nothing important or bad, that she needed to talk to them about

"Well, in any case, you get to talk to him at dinner." She stated as she began to pull out all the cookware and ingredients for two hundred seventy-eight rabbits and one fox

"Does Nick like stir-fry?" Bonnie question, unsure of what Nick eats since he is the only fox in the family.

"Umm, Yes, he does" Judy answered, knowing this ever since she introduced it to him. "Actually he loves it," Judy stated.

"Good can you go to the market and pick up some fish, preferably already prepared? For Nicks serving tonight," Bonnie requested as she began preparing the vegetables. With that, Judy grabbed the keys to the family truck and headed to the market.

"Hey, Carrots, "Nick said trying to inquire what room he needed to take the luggage to. "Excuse me, Bonnie, which room am I and Judy staying in," Nick questioned While carrying multiple suitcases, as well as having two rabbit kits attached to his tail

"Oh, Nick you and Judy will be in her old room, on the third floor her name is on the door." Bonnie said with a small before she turned her attention to the two kits that were still attached to Nick's tail "Sarah, James let go of your brother-in-law. He is trying to unpack" Bonnie said to the young kits and as they released Nick they had a bewildered look on their faces.

"Brother-in-la, how is he that?" The kit named James asked.

"Oh, that is right, you did not get a chance to see the wedding I will tell you later, okay," Bonnie said, answering part of the question. While postponing the long explanation

POV- Judy

After arriving at the market, an overwhelming aroma of fresh fruits and vegetables along with the sound of customers haggling for better prices filled the air, ignoring the sound of customer Judy continued to inhale the smell of fresh produce before she made a beeline for her nephew Jack hop fish stall. Jack is the son of Julie Hopps and Jay hop,

"Hello, Auntie Judy how can I help you?" He asked as he was a little puzzled on why she was looking at the fish he was selling,

"Oh, I need to purchase some fish for my husband's dinner," She said with a perky smile on her face, as her amethyst eyes scanning over each fish knowing which fish he prefers.

"Oh, you're married when did that happen," the nephew asked as Judy had spotted the fish that her husband loved,

"Oh last year, as for why he enjoys fish. Well, he is a fox speaking of fish. The red snapper, please could you prepare it for stir-fry so your grandmother does not have to worry about messing with the fish too much, Judy asked her nephew politely the sound of bargaining filling the background along with the sound of deals being made and announcements

"Wow, really a Fox I did not peg you for the out of species type," He replied from the unexpected answer he received, while he continued preparing the red snapper. He looked back to his aunt "no offense that just surprised me." The young rabbit said as he swiftly wrapped up the fish and handing it to his aunt, "The fish is on the house." the young rabbit said before his aunt could pull out her purse

"Oh, no worries we have had our fair share of inappropriate stares and comments in Zootopia," Judy replied as she received the prepared red snapper "Oh, thank you. I will catch you later and I will tell you about Nick… heck, you might meet him. She told her nephew before heading off to the family truck after arriving home, Judy and Bonnie set up the red snapper, to steam while they prepared all the vegetables and the homemade sauce as well as prepping seven large woks

"Honey, could you go and recruit some your sisters and brothers to set up the tables," Bonnie asked. Judy immediately left the kitchen and gathered two dozen of her brothers and sisters to help with the task. After setting up the tables Judy looked back to the kitchen to see that some of her other brothers and sisters were helping with the preparations as well as making the sauce for the stir-fry. "Judy, honey, why don't you and Nick go rest, Dinner will be ready at seven so you have a few hours to kick back," Bonnie mentioned wanting her daughter to feel as if she was actually taking a small vacation and not just doing more work

After climbing the staircase to the third floor, Judy finds Nick was laying in her old bed and that all the language had been put up in the corner of the room so they would not trip over them feeling a bit tired herself Judy crawled into her bed placing her head against Nick's chest. He had yet to completely fall asleep partially opening his eyes. He looked down to see his wife snuggling up against his chest in a little ball. He then moved his tail over her as a natural fluffy blanket,

They remained asleep for several hours, just to awake to the intoxicating smell of stir-fry. Seeing that it was ten minutes to dinner, Judy quickly went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit. Nick with his feet off the bed stood up and proceeded to start stretching his arms before wiping his hands on his pants to get rid of any lint before grabbing his tropical theme shirt from the end of the bed and slipping it on

After a few minutes of looking through her luggage Judy found a pink blouse, and a pair of blue jean shorts she could wear instead of what she wore when they arrived. Both the blouse and jeans were a bit tighter than what she normally wore, which immediately drew Nicks attention; rolling her eyes to Nick, she walked through the doorway and went around the corner. She quickly peeks back. Into the room "Are you coming? We need to get down there before all the food is gone," Judy, informing him, Nick then took off with a light jog to the dining room

After everyone had their fill of stir-fry, especially Nick with his red snapper stir-fry. He licked his chops. Due to the stir-fry being the best he ever tasted. "Thank you, Bonnie and everyone else that helped her," Nick stated with a large grin of satisfaction on his face, after dinner had ended, Stu, Judy's father had a man to man talk with Nick to make sure that he was still being good to Judy. Looking out a few windows Nick could tell that it was starting to get late, looking at his watch it read eight o'clock. Both Nick and Judy wanted to go ahead and turn in for the night as they had big plans for the next day, the duo entered Judy's old room as soon as they entered Nick took off his tropical shirt as Judy got dressed into her nightgown. After Judy had jumped onto her bed, Nick followed circling around her placing his tail over her chest to help keep her warm as they drifted off to sleep.
