Chapter 1: Frozen Phone

Nick Wilde walked around Zootopia, trying to find something to do. Chief Bogo had given him the week off work, while Judy still had to work. Suddenly, Nick saw a kangaroo at a Pawpsicle stand, but the kangaroo looked upset about something. Nick walked over.

"Excuse me. Can I help you?" the kangaroo asked.

"Actually, I was wondering if you needed help or something? Is something wrong?" Nick replied careful not to upset the mammal.

"Yes. My friend was suppose to help me today selling Pawpsicles, but an emergency happened, and I need to sell a lot of these by the end of the day. It's part of my job," the kangaroo explained.

"I could help. I sold tons of Pawpsicles since I was twelve! I don't mind helping," Nick replied.

"Oh thank you!" The kangaroo exclaimed happily before giving Nick a green apron. Nick put it on, and after getting instructions for the Pawpsicles, he got started. It was simple; poor colored flavor into small rectangular tray, let freeze with a stick for three to five minutes, plop out the Pawpsicles, serve customers with respect, and repeat.

"What flavors do we have?" Nick asked curiously.

"Cheerful Cherry, Winter Blueberry, Sunny Lemon, Berries, Beautiful BlackBerry, Fruitful Fruits, and Springy Strawberry!" The kangaroo replied. Soon, in no time at all, Nick and his new friend were busy with different mammal customers! Sometimes, having to put some customers Pawpsicles on hold due to the increasing number of mammals they were serving. The whole afternoon was crazy!

"At least we're making good progress!" Nick said to his new friend.

"And to be fair, I will split the amount we get with you!" The kangaroo said kindly. Nick thanked her until another customer walked up.

"Hi Nick. NICK?! What are you doing?" a familiar voice exclaimed. Nick looked and saw his best friend Judy Hopps.

"I was helping this kangaroo with selling her Pawpsicles. Her friend didn't show up due to an emergency, so I decided to help her out," Nick explained.

"Awww, that's so nice of you!" Judy replied.

"Would you like a Pawpsicle Judy?" Nick asked.

"Yes please. One Beautiful BlackBerry please," Judy said.

"No problem! One moment please!" Nick responded going to do Judy's order. Unfortunately, due to all the rushing from the crazy afternoon, Nick didn't see his black cell phone slide out of his pants pocket, and land screen down in a rectangle tray just as Nick casually poured the blackberry flavor liquid right into the tray, and onto his phone. After completing the process, Nick let the Pawpsicle freeze as he and the kangaroo taked with Judy for a while. Suddenly, after a long fifteen minutes, grabbed his blackberry Pawpsicle, and gave it to Judy. The Pawpsicle looked more frozen than normal.

"Mmmmm! Why haven't I had one of these? They're good!" Judy said to herself as she nibbled on her Pawpsicle. Once she got to her apartment, she put it in her freezer, and sat on her bed.

"You know what? I think I'll have Nick sleep over here. He must be tired after helping that kangaroo on a hot day!" Judy said to herself before calling his number. The call was connecting, but Judy did not hear a familiar "briiiing, briiiiing..." coming from her freezer.

"Well Nick, great job. I say we can hang out here until the late afternoon!" The kangaroo said cheerfully.

"Sure just let me grab my cell phone and... um..." Nick said until he noticed his phone was gone. He checked all his pockets, but nothing was there.

"My cell phone! It's gone!" Nick said looking around like crazy. The kangaroo helped look and as they did, they were having no luck.

"I know it was here somewhere! It couldn't have just walked away!" Nick said, looking through the the collection of flavors. Suddenly, his kangaroo friend saw something odd. An odd rectangular shape showing up on one of the shape trays, but smaller than a Pawpsicle shape.

"Ah, Nick. Does this shape look familiar?" the kangaroo asked, pointing to the odd shape. Nick looked.

"Huh? Funny, that shape looks just like my cell phone..." Nick said before his eyes widened with horror.

"Oh sweet cheese and crackers...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nick said realizing his cell phone must now be in one of the Pawpsicles they had sold. And that meant it could be anywhere.

"Nick? I know it's late, but please call me back! It's Judy!" Judy said now leaving a fifth message to Nick's phone. Judy shook her head. It wasn't like Nick to be this ignorant. Suddenly, she heard a little "beep" coming from her freezer. She walked over and saw the Pawpsicle from before. Then a thought came to Judy. She called Nick's phone again, and as she watched the Pawpsicle, a light blue color appeared from inside the Pawpsicle, and as Judy spoke, she thought she heard her voice come out of the blackberry dessert. Judy hung up and the "beep" sound came back. Judy carefully smoothed out the surface of the Pawpsicle. Nick's cell phone was inside her Pawpsicle, and now she had to get it out.

"I can't believe this! What if I never see it again? What if some mammal bites into it and gets injured? What if I get punished by the ZPD for not doing safety correctly due to my cell phone? What if Judy hates me for being such a knucklehead?!" Nick said, panicking as his kangaroo friend tried to calm him down. Nick calmed down, and decided to trace back when he last saw it.

"Come on!" Judy said, trying to break the frozen Pawpsicle with an ice pick. So far little bits were falling off. Judy then decided that would not work. She found a small kitchen knife and tried that. Nope, did not work. She tried a small hammer, which also did not work. Next item, a hammer.

"Okay, I know I had it in my pocket at the beginning. I believe I had it when we had that busy afternoon..." Nick said thinking back.

"And when was the last time you saw it?" the kangaroo asked.

"Well, we only had a few more customers after Judy, but... Judy!" Nick replied before realizing his pocket did feel empty when he got Judy her Beautiful BlackBerry Pawpsicle.

"Why won't you open!" Judy said, pounding the side if her frozen Pawpsicle with the hammer. It didn't work. Judy growled.

"Alright! This is hard as a rock! Which means, time for a little construction work!" Judy said as she got on a hard helmet, glasses, and borrowed her neighbors power drill. Time to get to work!

"Judy! She was the last mammal when I saw my cell phone! I'm sorry, I have to see her!" Nick exclaimed to his new friend. The kangaroo then gave Nick his money for the day, bid him good luck, and watched as he got into his car.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Judy exclaimed, trying to break the ice around the phone, but with only some coming off. The outline of the phone and screen was the only part visible, still frozen.

"Judy? Have you seen my...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Nick exclaimed after running into the apartment.

"Nick! I was just..." Judy said before she got interrupted.

"You don't like the Pawpsicle? You could have just said no thanks and got your money back!" Nick stated, clearly upset.

"No! It was delicious! I just..." Judy began saying.

"Just what? Are you jealous that I made a new friend? That I got a partner for just one day?!" Nick shouted.

"No! I was happy for you!" Judy exclaimed, getting upset.

"Then why are you destroying the Pawpsicle?!" Nick asked angrily.

"Your phone is in it! I'm trying to get it out!" Judy retorted. Nick then realized his mistake and regretted what he did.

"Judy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" Nick apologized.

"It's okay. I forgive you," Judy replied kindly. Nick smiled.

"Oh, and when your phone is unfrozen, you have five new messages from me!" Judy said.

"Okay... Thank you," Nick said, feeling awkward.
