Hello, everyone! I'm new to the fandom, and was actually going to start a drabble series, this being a prompt for way later. Of course, I couldn't think of many others to write. I only have two written so I just decided to post them on here as one-shots. Hope you enjoy it!


~First Dates – Judy~

"Okay, okay," Judy chanted walking back and forth outside a restaurant. "Pull yourself together."

"Hey, Carrots."

Judy nearly jumped three feet in the air at the sound of her partner's voice. What was he doing there, she wondered. This couldn't be happening. "Uh, Nick…um, hi?"

The fox raised a brow before smiling and shaking his head. He eyed the bunny up and down noticing that she was all dressed up in her light green sundress. "What's the occasion?" he teased with an impish grin. "Got a date?"

Judy's ears drooped, her nerves returning and taking over. Nick frowned at her hesitance. He looked inside the restaurant and saw a dressed up bunny sitting inside looking at his watch. Judy was looking at her date as well, fear creeping into her eyes. Her friend flashed her tensed form a sympathetic smile. "Get on in there," he encouraged softly.

"But…" the bunny tried before she quieted. "What if he doesn't like me?"

"Come on," Nick chided. "He'd be an idiot not to like you. You're Judy Hopps. What's not to like?"

Judy sighed. "That's the problem," she retorted. "We met in such a simple way, over a caramel carrot mocha we both thought was ours. He's new here and hasn't heard of me at all, but it's only a matter of time. What do I do if he finds out I'm a cop and has a problem with it? What if he gets sucked up into the hero thing and puts me on a high pedestal? What if-"

"Carrots, Carrots," Nick called while placing his paws on her shoulders, snapping her out of her ramblings. "It's just first date jitters. You're gonna be fine. Just talk to the guy, but don't get worked up over the 'what ifs.' You'll drive yourself crazy if you do."

Her expression softened and she managed to chuckle. "I guess you're right. Um, since you're here, how do I look?"

She stepped back so that the fox could give his opinion. He smiled contently. "You look great. Knock him dead, Hopps."

Judy beamed at him before she turned back to the restaurant. She took a deep breath, her fear shifting to determination, and entered the establishment.

Nick stayed behind a few moments watching Judy interact with the other rabbit who kissed her hand and offered her a seat. She seemed to be in better spirits and, only when he was certain she was in good hands, did Nick continue his stroll, a pleased grin on his face.
