Waking up for Nick P. Wilde was never easy. Foxes were never suppose to be morning people. He rolled out of bed trudged into the shower. As the warm water massaged Nick's backside, he noticed an orange and white figure appear near the sink. Nick blinked his eyes a couple of times and now realized this was his girlfriend, Vicky.

"Nngh, is that you, Vicky?" Nick asked, still half asleep. The vixen giggled and turned around, smiling at her boyfriends sleepy face.

"Babe, you really hate morning's, don't you?" Vicky laughed, turning back around and starting to brush her teeth.

Nick washed his fur quickly and got out of the shower, joining his girlfriend by the sink. Nick still had his, at least this is what Vicky calls it, adorable sleepy face. Vicky giggled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Happy birthday, baby" she whispered into his ear.

Nick chuckled and smiled charmingly, "Aw come on, it's my birthday and all I get is that lousy kiss?"

"Just be patient, Nicky. By the way, we have lunch today for your birthday, so don't forget about it!", Vicky reminded Nick, while she went into the kitchen.

"Yeah, yeah I won't", Nick promised, while combing his fur.

Nick's birthday was also a reminder of another event. The day Judy Hopps came into his life. After all this time trying to forget the silly, dumb bunny, he still couldn't get her out of his head. Two years ago today was when he first met her and helped her solve the Night Howler case. At the end of the Night Howler case, Nick decided to not join the police, but instead, he went back to college and got a degree in business finance. He couldn't understand why he didn't join the force. He just felt he would be holding back his favorite bunny if he joined, like he'd get in her way of her rising stardom. Sure she begged and pleaded for him to join the force, but ultimately, he wasn't budging. It's been three years since he last seen Judy and he still thinks about her

"Huh, dumb bunny...", Nick thought while walking to the kitchen.

Sure, Nick did occasionally talk with her on the phone and heard about her popularity. Hell, he even saw her on "Good Morning Zootopia" two times. People were just obsessed with her. But, who could blame them? Her story was one everyone could fall in love with. A small town bunny, who, against all odds, manages to defeat the big, bad predators.

Nick came into the kitchen to see his beautiful girlfriend washing dishes. He first met Vicky at a local bar one night, days after the Night Howler case. He was off the walls, and supposedly, very drunk, also. Nick decided he should black out every night the days following the Night Howler case, because he didn't know how else to preoccupy his time. He met Vicky by spilling a drink on her. Somehow, Nick talked his way around and actually got Vicky to go home with him. Don't ask Nick how he did it though, he doesn't remember. Anyway, one thing led to another and then Nick and Vicky were an item.

"Hey, babe, breakfast is on the table.", Vicky chirped sweetly as she scrubbed a pan. Nick looked over to see pancake and bacon strung together to look like a smiling face with a bottle of "Aunt Jackrabbit's" syrup next to it.

Nick walked up behind Vicky and hugged her from behind, kissing her neck while saying, "Anything else you want to give the birthday boy, huh?"

"Nick!" she giggled, while playfully trying to hit him. "Not right now! Can't you see the kids outside staring!", she yelped, trying to pry Nick off.

"Aw, come on, 'Carrots-" Nick stopped short and backed away from Vicky, his paw covering his snout.

"Vic, baby, I didn't mea-"

"Nick", she sniffed, "I thought you put whoever 'Carrots' is behind you...why do you always to call me that!", Vicky yelled, tears running down her snout.

"I'm sorr-"

"No, never mind. It's alright", Vicky sniffed, wiping her eyes on her sleeve. "Nick, I'm gonna go...I'll see you at 11:30 for lunch at The Lion Prince?"

"Vicky, please just list-"

"I gotta go, see you Nicky." Vicky said, leaving out the front door of the house.

"Wow, way to blow big time, Wilde" Nick said aloud, pinching the bridge of his nose.
