Hey guys! It's TGKS1 and this is...my very first Zootopia fanfiction! I haven't entered any new fandom since I joined this website. Yes, I've read fanfiction for fandoms that I'm not in (I'm in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Gravity Falls, and Henry Danger fandoms), but I never really got into anything else. And normally, when I see movies, I'll obsess over them for like a week and then I'll be over them, but I saw Zootopia like two months ago and I'm still obsessing over it, so I think it's safe to say that I'm in the fandom, which is a good thing because I've been needing something to dull the pain of Gravity Falls ending back in February, and hey, now the 'Kitty' in the username has actual meaning to a fandom and not just the fact that cats are my favorite animals, so win-win!

I plan on this story being 3 chapters long. Well, actually, I KNOW it'll be 3 chapters long because I've already written all the chapters, but I'm gonna leave a few days in between posting them just to see what kind of attention this story gets because A. like I said, first Zootopia fanfiction and B. first time writing romance so I'm kind of experimenting with that. So let's get started!

Disclaimer: I don't own Zootopia.

Nick's POV

I can't pinpoint when it was that I realized I had a crush on Judy. Maybe it was when she was about to resign after she and Bogo made that deal and I stepped in and defended her. I just couldn't let her lose her job so easily. Nobody believed a bunny could be a cop, and I thought so too, but minutes before Bogo confronted her like he did, Carrots had saved my life and I was proven wrong. I shouldn't have judged her in the first place when I knew what being judged and stereotyped felt like. It wasn't a good feeling.

Maybe it was when she offered me a position as her partner on the force. It felt so good to finally have someone who actually believed in me. That feeling was short lived after the press conference however, but I still held onto a little hope that she didn't mean anything that she said. That's why I held onto that stupid carrot pen for all those months until she came back and apologized. And of course I had to forgive her for her mistake. It only makes sense since I've made so many in my own lifetime it's not even funny. And I like to think I'm a pretty humorous guy. If I say something isn't funny, it's definitely not funny.

Maybe it was my first day on the force.

"You know you love me."

"Do I know that? Yes. Yes I do."

I can't figure it out. All I know is that I love her. I can't ask her out though. Interspecies relationships are really uncommon and, a lot of times, frowned upon depending on the species that are in the relationship. Imagine how the public will react when they'd find out a fox and a bunny (natural enemies!) are dating!

Not to mention her parents would probably be furious. When she first came to Zootopia, they didn't even want her anywhere near a fox. How would they react if they found out she's DATING ONE?!

My thoughts are interrupted by my alarm clock on my nightstand next to me. I've been awake for about an hour now just thinking about that whole situation for no particular reason. But the alarm only means one thing. I hit the snooze button on it. Time for work.

I've been on the force for quite a while now and Judy and I have settled into this little daily routine. We live in apartment buildings only two blocks apart from each other, so every morning, I'll get up and get ready (since I wake up earlier. Stupid nocturnal instincts) and I'll get us both breakfast from a cafe on the block between us and then meet her in front of her apartment where we then walk to work together while eating breakfast.

15 minutes after dragging myself out of bed, I'm walking down the street to the cafe, where I order my usually donut, Judy's usually muffin, and our usually coffees. That bunny really doesn't need the coffee since she's usually very wide awake once she remembers she has work, but she still insists I get it for her just to have something to drink. With her vibrant energy, she really does NOT need the caffeine. Good thing I buy her decaf (not that she knows that).

Judy's already standing in front of her building by the time I get there.

"It's about time! I was about ready to start walking by myself!" She scolds, but doesn't hesitate to take the muffin and coffee from from hands. I smile down at her.

"Sorry Carrots, they didn't have the donuts made yet. How was I supposed to walk out of there without one?"

She just shakes her head, but I do see a small smile creep onto her face. "Whatever. Let's just go."

We walked for a few minutes before reaching the station. As usual, Clawhouser is at the front desk eating sugary cereal and donuts.

"Hey Clawhouser, how's it going?" I asked casually. He looks down at us with that huge smile on his face.

"It's going well Nick. Hey Judy!"

"Morning Ben", She replied before we headed towards bullpen, throwing our trash from breakfast away in the process.

And so a few minutes later, we're sitting at our usually spots talking to other officers around us until Bogo comes in.

"Alright! Quiet!" He shouted. He then went on to give assignments for the day. I spaced out, not really paying attention until he got to Judy and me.

"Hopps, Wilde, we got a case on a chain of robberies I want you two to work on. Find the robber, put him in handcuffs", He ordered, holding a file out to us. Judy hopped up and took it and the two of us headed to our shared office to get to work.

"Alright, what's he robbed so far?" I ask as Judy reads through the file.

"He's robbed two flower shops, a jewelry shop, and a clothing store. What could he want from places like that?" She asked. I think for a minute before shaking my head.

"No idea", I respond as I take the file from her hands and go over to the wall where a map of Zootopia is taped to it. I take some push pins and pin all the places that have been robbed to see if there's a pattern. Wait a second...

"Carrots, look at this. Each of the places robbed is forming a shape. An octagon. One point is missing though", I point out before grabbing some string from my desk and started tying a knot to each push pin to form the incomplete shape.

"So if the pattern continues, the next place he'll target is..." Judy trailed off as I pulled the two ends of the strings together to complete the shape, right over Donna's Dresses.

"Welp, looks like we're doing a stakeout tonight." I announce, and Judy nods in agreement. The look of determination on her face just brings a smile to my face.

A few hours later, Judy and I are sitting in our cruiser in the alley next to the dress shop. Judy's watching out for anything suspicious while I'm just staring at her.

She's just so cute when she focuses like that. The look of determination on her face just makes me smile. I see that look so many times on her face and I never seem to get bored of it.

"Nick there he is", Judy whispers, pointing across the street. A black figure is approaching the shop, a weapon of some sort is seen hanging from his belt. Obviously a gun.

"Officers Hopps and Wilde to dispatch. We're at Donna's Dresses. Requesting back up", Judy speaks into her radio.

"10-4. Back up is on the way", Dispatch answered back.

Judy and I each grabbed our weapons and got out of the car. The guy had taken out his gun and was about to shoot through the window.

"Freeze! ZPD! Put your paws up!" Judy yelled as she help out her taser. The robber immediately put his paws up. I hold out my taser too as I approach him with handcuffs.

Once I was only a foot away from him, he pulls a dart from his belt and stabs me in the neck with its needle, which immediately injects who-knows-what into my bloodstream. I'm in a panic as I pull the needle from my neck. I almost immediately begin swaying on my feet as black spots enter my vision. I vaguely hear Judy yell something before I hit the ground. Flashing red and blue lights enter my vision as well, but they don't stay around for long before the black spots totally take over.

And that's the end of the first chapter so thank you everybody so much for reading! I'm planning on making Fridays my usually posting day from now on because that will motivate me to write more throughout the week. If I don't post on Fridays I'll...I'll do something to make me get writing and posting. I don't know. But thank you guys again for reading! Be sure to tell me your thoughts in the reviews and I'll see you in the next chapter! Bye!
