Chapter 1: Parking Duty and Questions

Authors Note: This story is my version of what happened to Nick in his life before he was selling Pawpsicles. Please know that all ideas are fictional in this story. Also, fair warning, this story will get sad and scary sometimes as the story continues by chapter. But for now, enjoy the story.

Nick tossed and turned in his bed as memories of his childhood cane back into his head. When he had been humiliated at the Scouts meeting, and other moments if his life. It was awful! Especially the part with the muzzle. The bed sheets wrapped around his body as he tossed and turned, covering him in the bedding.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Nick yelled as he woke up from his nightmare. Sweat dropped down Nick's fur as he took deep breaths to calm down. Tears watered his eyes and he let them fall as he calmed down. The dreams he had were just terrible, and all Nick wanted to do was forget about them. Nick took some more deep breaths to make sure he was calm. Nick then looked around and realized that he was under his bed sheets. Nick struggled to get out, but he only managed to fall out of bed, tangled under the sheets.

"Ahhhhhhh! Help!" Nick said before he struggled some more and managed to get out of his bed sheets. Once that was done, he put his sheets back on the bed, and after his alarm clock went off, he turned the device off.

"Hopefully today will be better than my night..." Nick told himself as he got dressed into his police officer outfit. He then went downstairs, ate some breakfast, and drove to the Zootopia Police building. Good thing was, everyone was normal. Nick smiled as he went to get a coffee, hoping the drink would help settle his mind.

"Hi Nick!" Judy Hopps said as she joined him for a morning drink. Nick sighed.

"Hi Judy. Sorry I'm not as awake. I didn't have a good night's sleep," Nick briefly explained.

"No problem. Even I get those kind of nights," Judy replied as they sipped their coffee. Afterwards, they went to the Mission room to get their assignment for the day.

"Alright everyone, settle down! Now, let's get started..." Chief Bogo said while entering the room. Everyone went quiet as the Chief talked.

"First, I want to say that I hope all of you have a good two weeks break for our Spring Break while some construction is done. And second, if any situations happen, report to me as soon as possible!" Chief Bogo announced before getting out the paperwork. He went through all the mission reports, and finally got to Judy and Nick.

"Hopps, Wilde, I'm sorry, but with all the cases taken care of, you two get... Parking duty! Dismissed!" Chief Bogo said before exiting the room. Judy and Nick sighed; at least it was a simple job.

"My goodness! Some mammals don't know how to park!" Nick said as he put a ticket on a car's window wipers.

"I know, right?! I got two hundred tickets done! How about you?" Judy said while writing a ticket.

"I got one hundred fifty tickets. But at least this is ..." Nick said before reading the number on a meter. Twelve. Nick was confused.

"T-T-Twelve? Who parks their car for twelve hours?!" Nick said, staring at the meter.

"Hi...Nick..." A voice said next to the fox. Nick then noticed his friend Flash the sloth slowly walking by as Nick watched him and stopped looking at the meter. Luckily, the parking tickets went by smoothly, and as Judy and Nick went back to the station, they got the okay from Chief Bogo to help with a few more cases, and then we're dismissed for the day. Nick drove Judy to his place, and invited her in.

"After you," Nick commented, holding the door open for his friend.

"Thank you," Judy replied walking inside. Nick closed the door and the two of them went to get changed into their everyday clothes. The two mammals headed to Nick's kitchen where he got them some drinks.

"Do you want water or ice tea?" Nick asked, getting out some plastic cups.

"Ice tea please," Judy replied. Nick got Judy her drink and gave it to her. Once he got his drink, he joined her.

"Hey Nick. I was just thinking about this Spring Break, and I was thinking of introducing you to my parents..." Judy said politely. Nick quickly spit the ice tea he had been drinking out of shock, then took a breath.

"Yeah. That's fine, but isn't that dangerous?" Nick asked curiously.

"Well, they are going into business with a neighborhood fox we know, and they did see you when I awarded you as a police officer, so I hope they don't mind!" Judy commented, explaining her reason for her idea.

"Oh. Yes, that makes sense. When do we leave?" Nick replied.

"I was thinking two days after tomorrow. That way we make sure we have everything!" Judy suggested. Nick smiled.

"Alright! I agree. That's totally fine with me!" Nick responded. The rest of the night was normal, until Judy went back to her apartment, and they both went to bed.
