Christmas Special
Judy was sitting at her desk typing away at the keyboard in front of her. Normally she would be busy writing up a few work related emails but the one she found herself on now was addressed to her parents back in Bunny Burrow. It was a bit of a sad one unfortunately. She had to explain to them how she wouldn't be making it back home for Christmas. Zootopia was always a busy metropolis but it was especially crazy during the holiday season. Since Judy was new to the ZPD she would have to surrender her holidays and stay at work. Many officers were in the same boat. Normally the mammals with families would be given top priority to have a few days off so they could see their kids. Judy felt a pang of sadness at the thought of missing her family during the season she was also a little excited to spend her first Christmas in the city. Besides she wasn't going to be alone. She had all of her friends at the ZPD to spend time with and most importantly she had Nick.
She was suddenly very excited at the thought of her partner who, as it happens, was actually running late today. Nick had missed the briefing in the morning, but for a good reason. He was at the hospital getting his cast removed finally. She couldn't wait for him to be back at 100% so they could get back into the swing of things. Since Nick's early return to work in the cast he had been stuck in a support capacity. The fox would spend most of the work day in the office gathering reports and what not for the new night howler case. When he did go into the field with Judy they had to have another officer in the area just in case. After what had happened at Melvin's shop Bogo wasn't taking any chances. It almost felt like they had a chaperone in all their work dates. No wait. That wasn't the right word. Or was it? The two seemed to be in an odd limbo lately. Back at the 10-7 bar Nick had explained his hesitancy to take the final step. Mainly because their friendship a great deal to him and he was worried about ruining it.
Lately however things seemed different. There had been more flirting than before. Before it was just Judy making the advances. Now however she found her and Nick in increasingly risqué situations with one another. Most of the time it was a joke but she was beginning to wonder when the laughter would stop and they would finally just do something. On top of all that there had been an occasion where they had almost kissed.
Judy of course would love to have taken the final step but much to her annoyance Nick was still wanting to take some time to get things straightened out.
As Judy continued to type out her email she was interrupted when a pair of black paws suddenly covered her eyes. "Guess who!" Nick whispered into her ear. Judy tried her best but a shiver still went up her spine as she felt Nick hold her close and whisper into her ears. She had been going through some changes lately due to her exposure to the Night Howler serum. The doctors said it would clear up in time. For now though she was extra receptive and her emotions were stronger than ever, especially a particular one when Nick was around.
"Benny?" Judy teased as she purposefully guessed wrong.
"Guess again," Nick whispered with a slight chuckle.
"Tammy?"
"No, come on Carrots!"
"Well it couldn't possibly be my dumb partner, he still has that cast on. Which is good because I planned to overpower him and then have my way with him." Judy said, a large smirk spread across her face.
Nick burst into laughter at Judy's brave words and then leaned down and gave her a kiss on her head just between her ears. Judy was doing her best not to let out a gasp of pleasure but a giggle did escape her as she turned a bright shade or red. "Mmmm, easy there," Judy whispered in warning. There had been a few occasions recently where it was hard for her to keep control. If she ever felt like her more primitive urges were about to take over the doctors had recommended she warn others and just relax. Nick hadn't been very helpful with this, if anything he had been more of a problem. The fox had taken it upon himself to see how far he could push Judy. Apparently he found it to be a fun little game.
"Or else what?" Nick said as he gently placed his hands on his partner's shoulders and gave a squeeze.
"You really want to see?" Judy let out as her lips parted and she let out a small gasp of pleasure from the surprise shoulder rub.
Nick continued gently squeezing and then loosening his grip as he massaged Judy's shoulders. The small bunny continued to let out a few soft moans of pleasure. Judy's cheeks began to warm as she heard another mammal a few cubicles down answer a phone call. Maybe it was the fact that this was at work or that they could be caught at any second but Judy was excited.
The feeling though was short lived as Nick suddenly stopped the massage and wheeled a chair into the small cubicle and took a seat next to Judy as if nothing had happened.
"So who ya writing to?" Nick asked as he gently placed an elbow on Judy's desk and then rested his chin on his paw.
Judy still had her eyes closed and was letting out a few shivers as she tried to regain some form of professional composure. Her ears gave her away though as they drooped down, revealing her disappointment at the sudden stop to the attention.
"Seriously hate you sometimes Wilde!" Judy said through gritted teeth as the urge to jump her partner and tear his shirt off grew so strong inside her she almost allowed the thought become a reality.
"You know you love me," Nick muttered as he began to read the email on Judy's computer screen.
"Do I know that?" Judy said as she began to go along with their little traditional saying. "Yes, yes I do."
Nick smirked as Judy finished the little saying, she was glad it still hadn't gotten old yet and hoped it never would. "Tell your parents I said Hi!" Nick said as he finished reading What Judy had typed so far, "I am sure they will miss you this year but you gotta admit you have quite the full schedule for the holiday season!" Nick pointed out.
"You talking about the office party?" Judy asked as she continued typing out the email to her family back home.
"That, and the other stuff the ZPD is throwing," Nick added as he began to lean back in his chair, a wicked smirk crossed his face.
"You mean the ZPD ball?" Judy asked as she looked over at her partner, "Didn't think we would have time off for that, someone has to cover all the empty shifts after all."
"Well there are ways of getting out of working the late shift," Nick said slyly.
"What did you do?" Judy asked, fully turning to face her partner as she began to study his demeanor. She had worked with Nick long enough to know something was up, and judging from his smirk it wasn't good.
Right on cue Tammy walked by Judy's desk and gave the bunny a warm smile, "Hey Judy, way to go on this year's sign up! Didn't think it would be your thing! Gave me the courage to sign up too!" The words were obviously meant to be encouraging but to Judy it was a hint to something she had obviously been shanghaied into thanks to Nick.
Down in the main break room a series of sign up sheets had been posted. All of them for various events the ZPD had been planning for the holiday season. A few of the sheets were for event overtime that would be spread across Zootopia as different events required coverage. One sign up sheet had been for the office pot luck. Judy had signed up to bring in some home-made carrot cake. She had to ask Benny to use his kitchen though since her apartment was lacking in a full blown kitchen. The cheetah had agreed on the terms that she would make a cake just for him.
Judy's mind raced as Tammy walked past the desk and continued on her way. 'What else was there to sign up for?!' She thought in a mild panic. She glared at Nick, "What did you do?!" She said through gritted teeth as Nick just sat with a smug look.
"Hope you have been practising your dance moves carrots," Nick muttered as he looked from Judy and then up to the ceiling in an innocent manner.
'The ZPD Ball!' Her inner voice screamed as one of her eyes twitched.
"You didn't!" Judy blurted out as her ears shot up.
Nick said nothing but the smirk on his face grew larger which only confirmed Judy's fears.
Judy jumped from her chair and quickly pushed Nick's chair out of the way as she darted away from her desk and down the row of cubicles.
"No no no no no," She said rapidly as she weaved in and out of the office traffic.
As Judy made her way through the office hallways she heard a few mammals shout out words that were supposed to be encouraging but to her they were confirmation of a nightmare.
"Hey Hopps, save a dance for me!"
"Looks like Francine has some competition!"
"Wonder how much she's gonna raise?"
Every sentence was like another nail in a casket.
Judy finally reached the main break-room which was already decorated with holiday cheer. Paper snowflakes covered the walls and someone had even strung up some mistletoe in the doorways as a playful joke. On the far wall a series of sign up sheets were posted for officers to volunteer services. Judy practically jumped over a table to get to the wall faster.

On the far wall a series of sign-up sheets were posted for officers to volunteer services. Judy practically jumped over a table to get to the wall faster.
The bunny finally reached the sign-up sheets and her eyes darted from one to another until she found the sheet she was looking for.
"ZPD Ball Dancing Auction Sign up!" The sheet read. Every year the ZPD threw an officers ball which would raise money for a specific charity in Zootopia. Tickets, silent auctions, games, etc. All proceeds from the ball this year would go to the various cub organizations this year. The children were the future after all and the ZPD wanted to do its part to raise some money for the future of Zootopia.
The dancing auction was something Judy had been told about during one of Bogo's briefings. It was a chance for the public and fellow officers to bid on volunteers to share a dance with. It was all in fun and at the end of the night the dancer who raised the most money would win a little prize and would get to pose with a large check that would be handed over to the charity. Judy of course wanted to help raise money for the charity but the thought of dancing with total strangers had put her on edge so she had declined signing up.
Or so she thought. As Judy scanned the sign-up sheet she saw her name written in a signature that was almost like her own but had a few variations. She could tell instantly who had pawed the signature. "I'm gonna kill him!" She said through gritted teeth.
"Judy! Oh my gosh I am so glad you decided to sign up this year! Normally I have trouble filling up the volunteer roster!" Came a friendly female voice from behind the small bunny. Judy turned around and found herself in the shadow of a large elephant.
"Oh Francine!" Judy said awkwardly as she realized the predicament she had found herself in. Francine was actually in charge of the dancing auction and a few other fund-raising groups. Judy didn't have much of a choice since Francine had obviously seen the sign-up sheet with the bunny's name hastily written. "Yeah, um, guess I am on board..."
"That's great! I will be honest I didn't think you would be okay with this kind of thing. Some folks find it kind of prudish and a little risqué!" Francine explained in an excited manner as she looked from the wall of sign-up sheets and then back to Judy, "But it's for a good cause and it's not like we aren't all adults here!"
"Risqué? I mean it's just a dance right? Not like it's a strip dance," Judy said jokingly as she looked up at the elephant in front of her. Judy became very worried though at the look of confusion on Francine's face.
'Oh god maybe it is a strip dance? Nick better buy you out for the night!' Judy's inner voice said in a panic.
"Dance?" Francine muttered oddly, "Oh you signed up for the dance auction too? That's amazing Judy, thank you!"
"Wait, what else did Ni…I sign up for?" Judy asked, trying to keep her calm but her eyes were wide in pure terror as she turned around and scanned all the other sign-up sheets.
Judy's eyes darted from sheet to sheet until she found it. Nick was pure evil. Of all the other events he could have signed Judy up for he picked hands down the one that would send her over the edge. Written in bright pink letters on top of the sheet with very few names: The Ladies of the ZPD Calendar.
The Ladies of the ZPD calendar had started many years ago as a kind of gag gift that would only be sold inside the ZPD. Each month would have a picture of one of the female officers in a very risqué or sexy situation. Though there wasn't exactly full nudity it was as close as one could go without calling the calendar porn. Most of the ladies found interesting ways to cover themselves up while leaving the most amount of fur exposed. The calendar had become so popular that eventually the ZPD sold them to the public as a fun little gift, it normally sold out. Some officers joked that the reason the ZPD had some of the nicest toys was thanks to that calendar.
"Can't tell you how excited I am that you signed up, just spoke to Tammy and she said she was so inspired she decided to join in! Normally it's hard to find enough ladies to fill the calendar up that I normally end up posing for an extra page or two," Francine explained.
Judy felt a wave of panic wash over her as she tried to think of an excuse to get out of this. Maybe just telling Francine the truth would be enough and Judy could go the holiday season by keeping her uniform on. As the bunny turned to look at Francine a new thought crossed her mind. Maybe it was the look of joy on the elephants face or maybe it was her constant mood changes thanks to the night howler exposure. Instead of blurting out some excuse to get her off the hook Judy felt a confidence well up. Something deep down inside her told Judy not to back down from this. "No problem Francine, just text me the details later."
When Judy returned to her desk she noticed a very smug looking fox was now sitting in her chair using her computer to send out an email. Judy stopped at her desk and just stared at Nick who slowly raised a finger signalling he needed a minute. After he finished sending out the email he had been typing Nick slowly turned the chair so he was facing his partner. "So how did Francine take it when you said you couldn't do it?" Nick asked with a sly smile as he reached for his cup of coffee.
"Who said I backed out?" Judy asked smugly. The bunny began to laugh as Nick spat out his coffee. A look of pure surprise spread across his face.
-The Photo Shoot-
"Oh gosh I can't believe I am doing this?" Judy groaned as she looked at the buildings outside of the small car zoom by.
"I can't believe you invited me!" Trisha said excitedly from the driver's seat. "I mean best Christmas present ever!"
Judy and Trisha found themselves in the old warehouse district that was located in the beach block region of Zootopia.
Judy had received an email with the information about the photo shoot. She was to report for her set time at a warehouse just a few blocks away from the waterfront. Apparently the photographer had their studio located there and would be ready for Judy. The email said to come in her standard gear and a friend if it made her more comfortable. Nick had offered to come along to keep an eye on things. Judy declined however, not because she was worried about Nick seeing her that way, but because she didn't want him to get off that easy. Why should he get a show after he was the one that got her into this mess?
Judy had texted Trisha about being her escort to the shoot. The brown bunny had been through the roof at the offer and cleared her schedule. Judy was grateful to have Trisha with her on this. Since Judy had never done anything remotely close to something like this it was nice knowing she would have someone she could trust with her. Not that she needed it though according to Francine who had posed in the Calendar for 4 years now. Apparently it was always the same photographer and they were very trust worthy and would not push their models into something they didn't want to do.
As Trisha pulled her car into a small parking lot the bunny let out a low whistle, "I have heard about these places. All these warehouses have been turned into different businesses! Check it out! We can get some lunch afterwards!" Trisha said as she pointed down the street to a warehouse with a large café sign fitted above a large open garage door.
"Yeah…lunch," Judy said nervously as her ears drooped.
"Hey come on cutie! You got this! I bet it will be fun!" Trisha said encouragingly as she reached over and gave Judy a gentle pat on the leg.
"Says the bunny who gets to keep her clothes on!" Judy shot back playfully.
"You play your cards right and you may not be the only naked bunny in there today!" Trisha suggested as she gave Judy a wink.
"Oh gosh, don't you start," Judy said as she looked from Trisha and then at the large single warehouse in front of them. The only way of telling they were in the right spot was a series of numbers that had been placed just above a large industrial looking door. Judy took in a deep breath and then opened the passenger door and stepped out.
Trisha jumped out of her car and stretched her arms into the air and let out a small satisfied noise. Judy meanwhile opened the rear door and pulled out a large duffel bag that had ZPD written across the side. The bag had a series of uniforms that Judy had been told to bring just in case. As the officer slung the bag over her shoulder she took a few steps onto the side walk and looked nervously at the large door. "Maybe it's not too late to..." She began to say but Trisha didn't let the sentence come to an end as the brown bunny bounded up to the door and made a series of loud knocking noises.
It only took a few seconds but the door eventually opened to reveal an otter in a black sweater. "Officer Hopps?" The mammal asked as he eyed Trisha.
"Oh no, just her lover!" Trisha said playfully causing Judy to chuckle as she strode up to the doorway, "This is the famous Judy Hopps!" Trisha said as she took a step aside and introduced the nervous looking ZPD officer.
"Welcome officer Hopps and lover," The otter said. Judy did her best to keep a straight face and made a mental note to tell Nick about this later. "Right this way, we are all set up and ready for you!" With that the otter led the bunnies into the warehouse.
Judy got even more nervous at the words "We all". The thought of at least a hundred strangers waiting in a large room to watch her strip down made her legs feel weak. Fortunately Judy had picked a good escort for this. Trisha skipped over to Judy's side and looped an arm through the gray bunny's free one. Trisha didn't seem to have a care in the world. In fact she seemed down right excited as they strolled through a small hallway and past a few small offices and conference rooms. The walls were painted white but had a series of large vibrant pictures nailed up. The pictures featured different scenes from around Zootopia. Most of them were in a high resolution which caused the colors to jump out more.
"Wow, these are all amazing!" Judy muttered as she saw took in a picture of Zootopia at dusk. The color of the sunset complimented the city well. It did however make the city look somewhat lonely, almost as if it was the only place in the world where mammals existed.
"Ah yes, that was from Kai's cityscape phase, hopefully she will be taking me somewhere more exotic for the next shoot. I became her assistant so I could travel, not sit in this dinky warehouse all day," The otter muttered in a somewhat bored fashion.
Trisha however began to shake with excitement," What, did you say Kai?! The Kai? OMG!" The brown bunny burst out and looked from the pictures and then back at a confused Judy with excitement.
"Yeah, Kai!" Judy said with a weak smile. Oblivious to who would cause such excitement in her friend.
"She is only the number one photo artist of Zootopia! Her works make millions! The boss has some of her pictures at the bar! I'll show you next time," Trisha whispered, picking up the fact that Judy had no idea who they were about to meet.
Soon the three mammals found themselves in a large open room that was painted a bright white. The room was alive with sounds and movements as several mammals were assembling photo lights and preparing a set for the shoot. On one end a series of large lights all pointed at a wall where the photos would be taken. There was also a series of screens on stands nearby and a table with food and drinks.
"All these mammals," Judy muttered nervously as she grasped her duffel bag closer to her as if it would spring to life and protect her.
"Maybe some of them wont peek," Trisha suggested as she gave Judy's arm an encouraging squeeze.
"I'm gonna kill Nick," Judy said as she watched the mammals hurry around the room.
"Good, then I can have you all to myself! Nakie pictures and all!" Trisha teased as she leaned over and gave Judy a sweet peck on the cheek.
Judy blushed when she felt Trisha's brown fur against her own and suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders lifted. Trisha and Judy had shared quite a few interesting moments during their short friendship together. It was obvious that Trisha held a special interest in Judy but didn't act on her emotions out of respect for what Judy and Nick had. However this didn't stop the bunny from making the occasional joke or suggestion to get Nick out of the picture. Judy actually enjoyed the banter. It put her mind at ease sometimes.
There was a sudden ringing noise emanating from the otters jacket and he whipped out his phone. The conversation was quick as a few seconds later he hung up and looked around the room. "Alright! Everyone out!" He shouted as his eyes fell on Judy and Trisha who were now standing in the center of the room. "Kai is on her way! You two can wait over there!" The assistant pointed to a large black couch which was located near the screens.
In a matter of seconds the room was suddenly very empty. The last of the techs left the room and closed the door. Judy and Trisha found themselves alone.
"Look at that, guess I get a private show after all," Trisha said with a grin as she looked around the room.
"Just watch where you slip the singles," Judy teased as she gave her friend a wink.
"Aww come on! I got to pay? I drove you here the least I can get is a free lap dance!" Trisha said with a playful pout.
Before Judy could respond the lights in the room began to shut off till only a few remained. Most of the room was cast in a shadow except for the large photo lights and a few lamps. There was one such lamp near the couch so Trisha and Judy were spared from the darkness.
"Ok if this is just some elaborate way of seducing me you really didn't need to go through all the trouble!" Judy muttered playfully.
"Darn, you saw through my plans," Trisha said as she snapped her fingers. "Seriously though if it gets any darker my hands may just start wandering!"
There was a sound of a door opening on the far end of the room which was filled with shadows. Judy and Trisha sat up straighter on the couch and looked over in the direction of footsteps.
Judy's eyes were still adjusting to the low light levels but she could make out a tall slender figure in the darkness that was slowly approaching them.
"Officer Hopps, I must say it is a pleasure," Came a female's voice confidently from the shadows, "When I heard that you had signed up for this I must admit I was excited!" Judy could pick up a slight accent in the females voice and she could tell that this women was from the rain forest district.
After what felt like ages the owner of the voice finally stepped from the shadows. Both Judy and Trisha were shocked when they finally saw Kai in the low light. The photographer was a beautiful jet black jaguar and for some reason she was completely naked. Not that anyone was complaining.
Trisha slowly leaned over to Judy, "Thank you so much for this," She whispered gratefully as she continued to take in the stunning figure in front of the couch.
"My name is Kai, it is a pleasure to meet you both!" The jaguar said warmly as she took a few more steps closer to the couch.
Judy was still in a somewhat stunned state so it was Trisha who broke the silence. "Hi, I am Trisha! Huge nerd! Big fan!" The brown bunny hopped off the couch and took a few steps towards Kai and extended her paw. The jaguar gently took the bunny's outstretched hand and smiled.
"A pleasure Trisha, I must say Officer Hopps keeps herself in quiet lovely company, if you wouldn't mind I would love to use you for a shoot later. I have been looking for someone with your particular shade."
Trisha began to giggle nervously and blushed, "Oh gosh of course! I would love if you used me!" Judy couldn't explain it but she suddenly felt a little jealous at the way Trisha was eyeing Kai. "Not that I am complaining but why are you naked?" Trisha asked as her eyes scanned Kai's slender form for what must have been the 10th time.
"Well I like to put my models at ease, I will never ask them to do something I myself haven't done before. If I need Officer Hopps to show off some fur I believe it is only fair for me to do the same." Kai explained as she looked over at Judy with a smile.
"I like that thinking!" Trisha said with a wicked grin. Kai gave Trisha a nervous smile as she looked down at her own paw which was still being held by Trisha. "This handshake is getting awkward isn't it?" Trisha asked and released Kai from her grasp while apologizing.
Judy finally found her voice and stood up from the couch. "It's nice to meet you Kai, and I appreciate the gesture, I have to admit I am still a little nervous about all this."
Kai gave Judy a slight nod, "That is completely understandable. A lot of my models are nervous the first time they pose for something like this. But I promise you this is not just some smut shoot. I only create works of beauty. With you this should not be so hard since you already carry such a natural beauty about you."
"Oh that's good, I'm stealing that," Trisha muttered as she looked over at Judy and gave her friend a wink.
"Thank you Kai, I just hope I can live up to that standard," Judy said with a little more courage than she had had before entering the room.
"Well let us see," Kai said and took two large steps towards Judy. The jaguar slowly leaned down so she was just inches from Judy's face. To the bunny's merit she stood her ground as the imposing predator came closer. "Get that top of yours off and let's see some fur"
"Woo! I really like this lady!" Trisha cheered from behind Kai.
"You too brown one!" Kai said as she stood up straight and looked back at Trisha.
"Wait what?" The brown bunny asked in mild surprise.
"You think you are the only one that does not have to show off some fur? No! Off with that shirt or out of my studio!" Kai demanded.
Judy had never seen someone strip off a shirt so quickly. Trisha practically ripped off her shirt and without being told unclipped her bright green bra and tossed it to the ground. Judy's eyes went wide as she took in her friend's bare chest as the brown bunny put her hands on her hips and stood up straighter with pride. "Wow Trisha…um..Wow" Judy muttered as she took in her friend's bare chest.
"Hey Judy! Eyes up here!" Trisha teased as she strolled over to her friend and gave her a sensual wink.
"I will give you a moment, I must prepare my camera. The techs always think they know what I want but they have no idea what they are doing half the time." Kai said as she excused herself from the duo and strolled over to the camera that had been set up nearby.
"Wow, this has definitely been um…unexpected. I mean I thought I was supposed to be the naked one," Judy muttered as her eyes stole another glance of Trisha's breasts. When Judy looked back at the bright blue eyes of her friend she realized she had been caught on the last glance. This caused Judy's cheeks to warm and her ears to droop slightly.
"Exactly! We need to fix that!" Trisha said as she strolled over to Judy with a look of lust in her eyes.
"Wait…maybe I should just find a spot to undress...and..."Judy began to blurt out as she looked around desperately for a screen or a robe. Trisha stopped just in front of Judy and reached for her friends sides and slowly began to pull at the light blue ZPD shirt that Judy wore under her tactical vest. "Or…maybe there's…a…"
"She just needs to lose the top for now, keep your duty belt on please!" Kai shouted from across the room as she tested her equipment out.
"You got it Kai!" Trisha shouted and then stuck out her tongue, "Seriously can't believe I just got to say that!" Trisha said as she grinned at Judy. It was obvious she was enjoying herself. Here she was in a room with one of her favorite photographers, topless, and about to strip off Judy's top.
Judy's heart was racing as she felt Trisha's soft paws gently brush against some of Judy's exposed gray fur. She was too focused on maintaining control of her urges. It would appear the effects of the serum she had been hit with was still lingering. She had her eyes shut and her mouth was agape as she felt Trisha slowly pull the Velcro on the tactical vest loose.
It didn't take Trisha long to get the vest undone and was soon lifting the vest over Judy's head. Judy opened her eyes so she could look at Trisha. A look of concern on the gray bunny's face. Trisha took notice as she tossed the vest onto the couch and gently placed her paws on Judy's waist, grabbing the fabric of the ZPD shirt. "You ok cutie?" Trisha asked sweetly as she tugged slightly at the shirt in her paws.
"Just trying to maintain some control, ever since the night howler hit my emotions have been all sort of crazy," Judy explained for what felt like the tenth time that day, "Whenever I feel an emotion it's multiplied tenfold and it's been getting harder to keep all that in."
"Well sweetie," Trisha began to say as she suddenly lifted Judy's shirt off the officer's body. Judy was surprised at the sudden action, thinking Trisha would be taking it slow. She had the sudden urge to cover herself with her paws even though she still had a dark blue sports bra on. "Maybe it's better to sometimes lose that control!" Trisha finished as she eyed the newly exposed fur of her friend with pleasure.
"It's not me though, I have always tried to maintain some kind of control!" Judy explained nervously as she looked around, having trouble looking directly at her friend.
"And let's say that you don't maintain control? What would you do?" Trisha asked as she took a step around Judy so she was standing directly behind the gray bunny. Judy could feel Trisha's bare breasts press against her back. Trisha then gently placed her paws on Judy's waist and began to run them slowly upwards.
"Well the doctors said that I will sta..." Judy began to explain but was cut off.
"I don't want to hear what the doctors think will happen, I wanna hear what you think you will do, right in this room, right now," Trisha whispered into Judy's ears causing the gray bunny to shiver with excitement.
"Well…I can feel something inside..telling me to…um.."Judy was looking for the proper words.
"Just say it," Trisha egged Judy on.
"Pin you to the couch and have my way with you!" Judy blurted out. Instead of a weak nervous smile though Judy felt a confident smirk cross her face. It actually felt good to say that out loud.
"Mm…is that right?" Trisha asked sensually. Judy closed her eye as she let out a gasp of anticipation. She bit her lower lip when she felt Trisha gently press her lips against Judy's neck.
"Oh gosh..Trisha..if you don't stop…I'm getting all wound up" Judy let out in a small moan.
"Judy I need you to do me a favor," Trisha whispered sweetly as her paws slowly slid up to the bottom of Judy's sports bra. Judy was going insane on the inside now. Her emotions told her to turn around and just go to town but she did her best to maintain control
"Anything Trish!" Judy said in-between breaths.
"I want you to take these feelings..."Trisha whispered, pausing slightly.
"Yes?" Judy asked as she felt her knees weaken slightly.
"Focus them," Trisha said with another pause as she began to slowly lift Judy's sports bra up.
"Yes!" Judy said, her heart racing as she felt more and more of herself becoming exposed to the world.
"Show everyone why Nick and I are so crazy about you!" Trisha said as she finally pulled the sports bra over Judy's head and exposed the bunny's gray breasts to the cool air in the room.
Judy had completely lost it at this point. Trisha's words had carried a great deal of meaning to her. She knew that given the chance Trisha would probably do anything with Judy. The thought of Nick being just as crazy about her though made her whole world brighter. Her heart was racing at this point and she felt like she had just run a marathon.
Judy was suddenly emanating confidence and didn't care if it was just Trisha and Kai in the room or the whole damn ZPD. She didn't care and she wanted to show everyone a side of her she had kept hidden for so long.
"That isn't so bad now is it?" Trisha asked as she tossed the bra aside and gently placed a paw on Judy's waist once more as she leaned in to give her friend one last shot of confidence.
What Trisha didn't know was Judy didn't need any more pep talk. Her emotions still fought inside her. However she focused them on the task at hand. Judy suddenly turned around, a confident grin on her lips. Trisha didn't even try to hide her glance as she looked down at Judy's exposed chest and bit her lip. "Wow…looking goo-" She didn't have a chance to finish flirting as Judy closed the gap and pressed her lips against Trisha's in a passionate kiss.
Judy could feel Trisha giggling. This caused Judy to become a little more intense as she pressed her body against her friends and felt their fur collide. The feeling was warm and satisfying. Had this been Nick it would have most likely lasted longer but eventually Judy pulled away and left her friend with a dumb smirk on her face.
"So do you think Nick would mind sharing his toys?" Trisha asked, her eyes still closed as she just stood in what looked like a dream like state.
"Who knows?" Judy said as she slowly pulled away from her friend and took a breath. "Maybe you should ask him at the dance!"
"Am I going to the dance?" Trisha asked as she slowly opened her eyes and looked over at Judy with affection.
"Well I already bought you the ticket since you have been such a great escort today," Judy said playfully, "Plus someone better be there to put a bid on a dance with me!"
"Oh cutie I don't think you have anything to worry about there!" Trisha said as she eyed the exposed bunny in front of her. "Definitely nothing to worry about..."
Judy gave Trisha a wink and then turned away as she confidently strode across the room towards Kai. "I am ready for my close up!" Judy teased as she stepped in front of the camera.
"Nick, wait till you see what I got," Judy thought to herself as the shoot began.
-The dance-
It was finally here! The ZPD Charity Ball was always a big event in the city. The ZPD never really worried about ticket sales since they normally sold the event out. This year was no different. Judy had managed to sell all of her tickets with ease in just a week. She had spoken to her fellow officers and was pleased to hear they had all managed to get rid of their stock as well. It wasn't until she remembered what she had volunteered for that she suddenly felt a little nervous.
As the days past and the ball came nearer the nervousness Judy felt grew until she had done the photo-shoot with Kai. The whole event had actually turned out to be a lot of fun. Kai had taken dozens of pictures of Judy in various poses and with various props. When the shoot was done Kai had handed Judy a flash drive with all the pictures so she could do with them as she pleased. The final picture that would be shown in the calendar though would be a surprise. Though Judy felt a little nervous Kai had reassured her that she would be pleased with the results and should feel confident in the fact that her beauty would help the calendar sales tenfold. The shoot overall had done some good and Judy began to look forward to the ball.
The venue for the event was located in one of Tundra Town's finer establishments. This alone was difficult to do since Tundra Town was always busy this time of year, what with the snowy landscapes and general festive feeling all year round. Christmas trees lined the streets and most of the buildings were covered in twinkling lights. The ball this year was being held at the Tahoe Lodge. A large 5 star resort that was nestled on top of a snow covered hill. It was in the center of the district surrounded by several other resorts that sat at the foot of a large mountain where mammals could take gondolas to the top to enjoy skiing, snowboarding, or just breath taking views of the snow covered district.
Judy was in awe at the beautiful city streets as she looked outside the window from her cosy seat inside a white stretch limo. Nick had pulled some strings with Mr. Big and managed to reserve a limo for the event. Normally such a vehicle would be hard to come by since most of them would already be rented out for this event and others like it. When Mr. Big found out it would be for Judy however the mob boss had insisted that Judy be taken in style. He had even sent over a tux for Nick and a message stating that the fox better take good care of his granddaughters godmother, or else. Nick hadn't needed the warning and insisted he intended to take very good care of his partner.
"It's a nice city when you are spinning in the road or crashing into snow mounds," Nick teased as he looked over at Judy who was mesmerized at the city sights. The bunny didn't look away from the window but did give her partner a sharp punch in the arm. Nick laughed as he scooted away in case Judy had another round in her. He didn't though take his eyes off her. Judy was adorned in a dark blue coat that went all the way down to her ankles. She had been wearing the outfit when he had come to pick her up. So the fox still hadn't had a chance to see what Judy was hiding underneath. Much to his annoyance.
Nick slowly reached over to Judy and gently placed a paw on her shoulder as he tried to move the coat so he could at least see the dress' strap. Judy with her lighting like reflexes grabbed Nicks paw and shooed it away. She looked over with a small grin, her eye lids drooped, and it was definitely one of the smuggest looks Nick had ever seen from his partner.
"You just have to wait like everyone else!" Judy teased as she stuck out her tongue.
"Aww come on Carrots, not even me? I mean what if there is a tear or it's crooked? I just want to make sure your dress is okay!" Nick said, trying to come up with some kind of excuse.
"Nice try but I already checked!" Trisha said from the seat across from Judy. "And trust me, she looks amazing! I think this should be the new ZPD uniform!"
Judy had invited Trisha to join them on the ride over. Trisha initially tried to turn down the offer and said she would catch a ride with friends who were going. Judy had seen through the lie and had tricked the brown bunny by inviting her over to help Judy get ready for the ball. By the time the two were done getting ready Nick had been waiting outside in the limo.
"How come she got to see the dress?" Nick said in mock jealousy.
"Because she didn't sign me up for a topless photo-shoot!" Judy said as poked Nick in the side. The fox tried his best to get away but Judy just scooted over in her seat and continued her attack. When she was satisfied with her handy work she sat back in the comfortable seat and closed her eyes. Nick continued to sit straight up as he looked down at his partner who was practically in his lap.
There was a few moments of silence and then suddenly Judy detected movement in front of her. She opened one of her eyes slowly and smirked as she saw Trisha stand up in the car and walk over to the couple. Trisha was in a dark green cocktail dress and had a small bow tied at the base of one of her ears. A red scarf was wrapped around her neck. She looked quiet festive in the outfit. Trisha slowly walked over to Nick and slowly put a paw between Nick and Judy. At first Judy thought she was gonna try and scoot the couple apart, though amusing it wasn't exactly something Judy wanted. Instead though Trisha grabbed Nick's wrist and slowly lifted his arm over Judy's ears and then placed it on the gray bunny's shoulders. She then pushed against his arm which caused Judy to be forced against her partner.
Trisha took a step back and admired her handy work and then glared up at Nick, "Stupid," She said as she shook her head and hopped back over to her seat. Both Nick and Judy chuckled at the action. "Got yourself a good wing bunny there Carrots," Nick whispered as he pulled Judy in closer. Judy giggled as she suddenly felt very warm inside and nuzzled into Nick's side.
"Got yourself a dumb partner there Carrots," Trisha mocked as she pulled out her cellphone and took a quick picture before either of the officers could say otherwise.
The rest of the ride was somewhat uneventful. To Judy though it was truly one of the best rides she had ever been on. Nick continued to keep his arm wrapped around her shoulder and she enjoyed every second of it. She made a mental note to pay Trisha back for that moment.
Sadly though the cuddling couldn't last forever as the limo pulled up to the large lodge looking resort. The arrival was a kind of controlled chaos. There were a few celebrities, government officials, and of course the general public all milling about taking pictures and speaking excitedly about the ball they were about to attend.
Nick stepped out of the vehicle first and held his hand out for Judy who took it happily as she was helped out of the vehicle. Nick did the same for Trisha who had a mild look of surprise on her face, "Wow Judy, he can actually be a gentle fox cant he?" She teased as she hopped out of the limo.
"Took a while but I think I finally got him trained," Judy teased as she looked over at Nick.
"Har har, you two are hilarious," Nick said in deadpan as he looked at the two bunnies giving him such a hard time. Judy stuck out her tongue at Nick playfully and gave him a wink. "Careful carrots, leave your face like that in this weather and it might freeze that way." Nick said playfully.
Judy giggled and shook her head at the comment as she looked up into Nick's emerald eyes. She took a step closer to her partner and adjusted his tie for him. When she was done she took a moment to just look up at Nick and admire how handsome he looked tonight. She wanted so badly to just reach up and kiss him at that moment but stopped herself. Knowing it wasn't something he wanted at this time.
Before Judy could say anything Francine was suddenly upon the group. The lovely elephant was wearing a dark brown coat that covered her outfit just like Judy. "Oh good Judy you're here! We have to go get ready for the auction!" Francine declared. Before Judy could say anything she was quickly hurried away by her fellow officer.
Judy took one last look over her shoulder at Nick. She gave him a nervous smile which he returned. Trisha slowly stepped over to Nick and looped her arm around one of his and waved to Judy, "Don't worry cutie! I'll keep him out of trouble for you till you're done!" The brown bunny shouted. Judy began to laugh at the comment and nodded at Trisha.
Judy was escorted inside the lodge through the front doors and then down a busy hallway. The whole resort was a busy scene of resort staff running around and making last minute adjustments for the ball that was about to take place. Judy was led into a conference room that was just off to the side of the grand ball room where the event was taking place.
Inside the conference room her fellow Ladies of the ZPD were waiting. The ladies all greeted Judy warmly as she entered the room. There was a spot where everyone had laid out their coats and Judy slowly undid the clasped that had helped keep her dress such a secret. When she revealed what she was wearing a few of the mammals in the room let out a few surprised noises and then descended on the little bunny. Compliments and flirtatious remarks were made as they all took in Judy's beauty. The bunny couldn't help but blush as she did a little twirl at Francine's request.
Tammy approached Judy wearing a jet black gown that complimented her dark colored spots. She looked truly elegant and Judy took a moment to take her friend in. "Tammy! You look amazing!" Judy complimented causing the cheetah to wave a hand, trying to brush the compliment off playfully.
"Oh thanks Judy! Must say though I don't think I'm gonna get top bid if I have to compete with you!" Tammy said as she took a seat by Judy and patted the chair next to her.
Judy beamed and hopped up on the seat next to the cheetah. "As long as we raise some money for a good cause right?" Judy said happily as she looked around the room.
Judy was easily the smallest mammal in the room. Most of the ladies that had volunteered were street officers though there was a Zebra from dispatch and even a white wolf from the tactical team. Tammy began to explaining who the others were and made a few comments on what she thought was gonna happen during bidding.
"The white wolf is named Stitch. She is a medic for the tactical teams. She and Ty go back a bit. Her first month here she saved his life during an explosion downtown. She volunteers every year and the tactical boys fight over her. Normally Ty wins though and he loves rubbing it in the young guys faces!" Tammy said which caused Judy to let out a little "aww" at the thought of Ty still able to whoop the others at something.
"Francine normally raises the most. Mainly because she has a few fans in some high places. They normally show up to try and catch her favor. You know Francine though, she doesn't like being tied down." Tammy said as the elephant walked past with some drinks for some of the other ladies.
Tammy and Judy continued to gossip for a short while and made a few friendly remarks about how everyone looked. Judy enjoyed the atmosphere in the room and wasn't nervous about the auction thanks to the warm reception she had received.
"Okay, and what about me?" Judy asked as she took a glance around the room once more and then back to Tammy.
The cheetah began to chuckle, "well that's where things get interesting. I mean my money is on that Fox of yours. But I have been hearing rumors tonight. Apparently ticket sales increased when someone let slip you would be here for a dance."
Judy gave out a weak laugh, "har har, very funny." Judy just assumed Tammy was either being nice or a total tease. When the cheetahs expression didn't change though Judy felt her confidence faulted, "wait! You're not! Oh cheese and crackers! What have I gotten into?" Judy began to shake nervously as her ears drooped As the realization began to sink in that she was gonna be in front of a crowded room and would have to dance with a stranger who paid money to be near her.
"Hey now Hopps! I would take it as a compliment! Plus who knows, maybe a little jealousy is exactly what Nick needs right now," Tammy encouraged as she placed a large paw on Judy's shoulders. The words worked and Judy suddenly felt a rather wicked feeling deep down. Maybe tonight could finally push Nick over the edge! Maybe he would finally be willing to take that leap and take their friendship to a new place.
Judy's thoughts were interrupted however at a commotion coming from the door to the conference room. The door opened and then closed quickly and there was a playful squeal. "They're here! Come and check them out!" Came an excited voice.
Judy and Tammy quickly rose from their seats and crossed the room to see what the activity was about. The answer was clear to Judy when she spied an open box laying on the floor. Francine strolled over and handed both Tammy and Judy their own copies of the new ZPD calendar. The cover was a dark blue and the words were written in white using a font that reminded Judy of the ZPD squad cars. Normally the calendar wouldn't go on sale 'til next week. However volunteers for the end events got a complimentary copy to enjoy early.
Judy slowly opened the calendar and then closed it quickly as her cheeks began to warm. "So you got January eh Tammy?" She said measly as she looked at a slightly embarrassed cheetah standing next to her.
"Is it too much?" The cheetah asked as she opened the calendar slowly and looked at her own image.
"No you look good!" Judy complimented as she braved another look. "Wish the police tape wasn't in the way though," she teased.
Tammy's picture was very bold indeed. The cheetah could be standing in front of a ZPD squad car with its strobe lights on. Tammy was standing with her arms stretched behind her head with her chest puffed out. A sultry wink and grin across the cheetahs face. She was completely naked in the picture but was censored by some ZPD crime tape which was stretched across the image. The tape did cover up Tammy's more secretive parts but now by much which didn't leave much to the imagination. Judy doubted anyone would complain.
Judy flipped through the pages and saw her fellow officers in ways she never thought she would. A few of the ladies in the room were also in the calendar and were receiving a few flirtatious comments every once and a while.
Judy's pose, though not nearly as risqué as most, still got a lot of suggestive comments from her fellow officers. The image was filled with a bright green field, in the distance was a series of obstacles and poles. It was a mock-up of a training field. Kai had said Judy would be posing for the spring section of the calendar and she wanted to go with a kind of energetic and exercise background. It also matched Judy's personality since she enjoyed working out every day and was considered to be very fit even for an officer. Judy was laying on her side with her head laying on an outstretched arm while her other arm laid across her chest. Her breasts were only somewhat covered. Kai had Judy squeeze her arm slightly which caused her cleavage to become a little more Pronounced. Judy's regular work pants had been replaced with a dark pair of yoga pants which showed off her natural curves while her duty belt was latched snugly around her waist.
It wasn't just the pose that was getting a lot of attention though. Judy's expression was sure to drive many mammals wild. Judy's ears were flopped haphazardly on her arm while her eye lids were slightly drooped. Judy had a warm but not too bright smile. It was like she wanted to tell the viewer something but had decided to keep it to herself, it was a content but sensual look. It had taken Judy a while to find the right smile during that particular shoot. Kai had tried to suggest how she wanted Judy to look but it was getting nowhere. Trisha had helped though. She had crawled over to Judy and the two had remained close for a minute or two. Both giggling at the predicament they had found themselves in. In the end Trisha reminded Judy to think of Nick. How would she look at him in that moment? What look would she give him that would tell the dumb fox how she felt without saying any words? That had done the trick and the result was a smile that would cause most male mammals to go crazy.
"Wow Judy," Tammy said as she looked from Judy's picture and then back to the small rabbit who was also spellbound by her own picture. "I mean wow... What the he'll is Nick waiting for?"
Judy didn't say anything as she just smiled at her picture. She had worried that she would regret not backing out. Now however she was happy she had. Seeing herself like this made her suddenly regain all her confidence. She was ready for whatever was thrown at her this evening.
After a few more minutes of looking through the calendar and idly chatting with her fellow dance volunteers Judy heard the conference room door open once more. The ladies were informed that the auction would be beginning shortly. The schedule was for the guests to enter the ball room and enjoy some drinks. This would hopefully loosen their wallets when it came time to bid. After the auction there would be the first dance and them the party would be under-way.
Each volunteer would step on to the stage separately and be introduced by the auctioneer and a short speech about who they were would be given. Then the bidding would begin. Judy was informed that Bogo would make the first bid. It was a kind of tradition he had started by accident years ago when he would quickly raise his arm before the announcer could start the bidding price. When asked why he had done it he explained he never wanted his officers to feel nervous about receiving that first bid. He would always be there to support them. This has earned him a great deal of "awws" which only made him angry and shout his standard "Shut it!"
The order of the ladies had been set up already and Judy was next to last. Right after Tammy and before Francine.
Time seemed to drag on as the room slowly emptied of volunteers until it was just Francine and Judy sitting next to the door. Judy's leg was tapping away nervously at the floor as her nerves started to get the better of her.
"Nervous sweetie?" Francine asked kindly as she looked down at the shaking bunny.
Judy just nodded as she looked straight ahead. "Well you shouldn't be. The first time I volunteered for this I was a wreck. A total mess. I almost threw up!" Francine explained as she listed all of Judy's symptoms. "But then when I got up there with all the eyes of the room on me! It was amazing! That's what is gonna happen. I ain't gonna lie to you Judy. Everyone will be staring at you."
"Gee…that really puts me at ease." Judy said sarcastically as she looked up at Francine.
"You want to know why they will be looking at you Judy."
"Why?" Judy asked as she tilted her head in curiosity.
"Because you are going to be the most beautiful creature in that room. And they would be fools not to notice that" Francine said lovingly.
Judy felt a tear roll down her cheek as a broad smile crossed her lips.
"Of course then I will come in and be the most beautiful one in the room!" Francine said playfully. The two began to laugh and Judy felt her nerves settle.
An attendant came to the room and informed Judy it was her turn. Judy took one last glance at Francine who gave her a thumbs up and smile.
Judy was escorted through a small carpeted hallway and into what appeared to be a back door to the grand ball room. The small bunny found herself standing at the bottom of a small step of stairs that would lead her to the stage. She could hear the muffled voice of the auctioneer as he finished rambling off some numbers.
"Congrats once again to mister Ty on winning another first dance with Miss Stitch! Better luck next year boys!" Came the auctioneer. Judy smiled as she imagined Ty giving everyone a smug grin. "Next up we have a real special officer for you all!"
Judy took one last deep breath as she ascended the stairs and then walked through the now open curtain. "Please welcome Officer Judy Hopps…" The auctioneer said as he held up a set of cards and looked towards Judy. The auctioneer was a small prairie dog in a white tux who was standing just to the side of where Judy walked on stage. He was obviously supposed to be saying more but like everyone in the room he seemed spellbound at the sight of Judy. The lights in the room were dimmed only slightly so Judy could see everyone looking at her. Normally this would have caused her to be nervous but she remembered the words of encouragement from Francine and took a deep breath as she continued to the edge of the stage so everyone could get a good look at her.
The gray bunny was wearing a dark violet dress that complimented her eyes so perfectly. It was a backless dress which was held up by two straps that had been gingerly tied around the back of Judy's neck. It also showed off more cleavage than she had hoped but Trisha told her that no one would complain about that fact. The fabric was so smooth that it looked like the dress was pouring over Judy like water. Tammy had helped her pick it out and though Judy wouldn't have normally bought something like it she was glad her friend had convinced her to take a chance.
"That's it! I'm leaving the fire service to join the ZPD!" Came a loud voice from across the room. This was followed by a roar of laughter from the crowd as everyone looked to the back of the room where a few mammals were wearing their firehouse dress uniforms.
The auctioneer had finally found his voice and took a moment to compose himself. "Ladies and gentle mammals Officer Judy Hopps!"
There was a steady applause that filled the room and when it finally died down the auctioneer began to read a few facts about Judy from the cards in his hands.
"Officer Hopps has been with the ZPD for just under a year. In that time however she managed to solve the missing Mammal Case! She also revealed the corruption in city hall and stopped former mayor Bellwether from using the dreaded night howler serum on unsuspecting citizens!" The prairie dog said sounding impressed at the facts he was reading. "She currently holds several academy records where she graduated top of her class! Officer Hopps is currently stationed in the city Center at Precinct #1 under chief Bogo! In her free time she enjoys exercising, movies, and driving her partner Nick Wilde up the wall..oh..sorry Officer Hopps..Don't know where that one came from!" The auctioneer said playfully as a laughter swept the crowd.
Judy put a hand on her hip which caused a few mammals in the crowd to let out some low whistles. The bunny began to scan the crowd for her partner. She actually spotted Trisha first who was jumping up and down while waving her arms. Judy grin and stood up straighter when she spotted her friend and then noticed Nick standing casually beside the brown bunny. He had his famous sly smirk on his face and raised a glass in Judy's direction.
"Shall we start the bidding?" The auctioneer asked as he looked over at a table near the stage. Judy looked over in the same direction and beamed when she noticed Chief Bogo dressed in a nice suit. A familiar young cheetah was standing next to the water buffalo, wearing a dark red dress. Angie beamed and waved at Judy who waved back excitedly. The bunny had to do her best to maintain her composure as she wondered who else in the audience knew the sad story behind the two mammals at the table near the stage.
"100!" Bogo said as he raised his arm and nodded at Judy. The bunny felt her heart lift up and she nodded back at Bogo.
"First bid 100! Do I hear 105?" The auctioneer asked. Little did the prairie dog or Judy know, but the flood gates had opened. The next few minutes were filled with frantic shouts as the numbers went higher and higher. Judy was very grateful for each bid but she felt a little saddened as she noticed none had come from a particular fox. Judy looked over at Nick who had the same smug look on his face. Trisha was standing next to Nick and looked from Nick, to Judy, and then back to Nick with a look of confusion on her face. The brown bunny tugged at the fox's arm and could be seen pointing in Judy's direction. Nick however just looked down at Trisha and took a sip from his drink.
The bidding was still going strong and soon the number had reached 500. Which was rather impressive since it was just one dance. Even if it was for a good cause Judy thought it was getting a little excessive.
After a few more minutes past the auctioneer began to slow in his shouting as the bidders started to reach their top out numbers. "We have 550! Can we get 555? Going once? Going Twice!" Judy was at a loss for words as she looked around happily. She was pleased to know she had earned so much for a good cause. Still she had wished Nick would at least…
"600!" Came a familiar voice. Judy's ears shot up and she looked over at Nick who gave Judy a sly wink. Trisha was jumping up and down with excitement at this point.
"600 from the fox in the centre!" The auctioneer said in mild shock as he looked at Nick, "Wait! Ladies and gentle mammals its officer Wilde! What a partner! 600! Do I have 605?"
Much to Judy's surprise someone in the back shouted 605 and then another voice shouted 610. Apparently Nick had some steady competition.
"700!" Nick said without skipping a beat.
"705!" Came a voice in the back. Nick looked over his shoulder and raised an eyebrow in slight concern.
"800!" Nick shouted back as he looked back at Judy.
The gray bunny on stage felt her knees go weak at the thought of how much that would set Nick back. Officers didn't exactly make a whole lot of money and that was easily a chunk of pay out of the fox's pocket.
"805?" Came the voice in the back. Judy was finally able to narrow down who was bidding against Nick. It was a Zebra in a fireman's dress uniform who was whispering frantically at his buddies.
"1000, try anything and I will boot your little red trucks!" Nick shouted as he looked back at the Zebra.
That had done it as the fireman raised his hand in defeat, "Gonna have to write a lot of parking tickets to get that back Wilde!" The Zebra teased as he raised a glass in Nick's direction.
Nick let out a chuckle and raised his glass as well. Everyone in the hall began to applaud to the two mammals that had put on quiet the show.
"1000 going once? Going twice! Congratulations to Officer Wilde! What a great partner!"
-Dancing under the mistletoe-
The the auction had gone smoothly. Francine had managed to raise nearly 600 and the Zebra who had previously been bidding on Judy managed to beat out the rest of the competition. Apparently the fireman had a thing for ladies who bled blue.
A small space in the center of the room had been cleared out for the first dance. Judy bounded over to Nick and leapt into the fox's arms. "Nick I was worried you weren't going to bid on me!" She said happily but then her mood changed as she took a step back and gave him a slug in the arm. The fox looked surprised as he rubbed where he had been hit. "How much did that set you back Nick?! That's over two weeks' pay! I would have danced with you anyways!"
Nick just smiled and remained silent as the music began and he gently wrapped an arm around Judy's waist. All the anger the bunny had felt about how much this dance had cost her partner suddenly melted away as she was lost in the moment.
"Mmm…Nick. I am glad you won..."She said softly as she laid her head against her partner's chest.
"Well you can thank Mr. B for that," Nick whispered softly. "Let's just say the old guy takes care of his ladies. He said he would cover the first dance"
"Awww, that's so sweet of him! And here I thought you were being romantic," Judy teased. She was very grateful to Mr. B at that moment but it was the thought that counted when it came to Nick. "You know for a minute there I thought you weren't going to bid on me!"
"Really Carrots? Do you think so little of me?" Nick said playfully as the two continued to sway on the dance floor. "Even if I hadn't gotten some help you know I wasn't about to let someone else dance with my girl."
Judy's heart skipped a beat and then began to pick up speed rapidly. Her ears which had been drooped down her back suddenly shot up as her eyes went wide. That was the first time Nick had ever said anything like that. It was truly exhilarating to hear the words actually come from his mouth.
"Your girl?" Judy asked as she looked up at Nick, her eyes shining in the light as she began to feel her whole body go weak.
Nick gave her a loving smile as he looked at her with his handsome emerald eyes. The two continued to sway like that for a little longer and Judy felt the room just melt away as she and Nick swayed together. No one else really mattered at this point.
Sadly though all good things had to come to an end and the final notes of the song played out. There was a round of applause and Judy was brought back into reality. She didn't want to part from Nick and apparently he was very content keeping her close to him.
It was Trisha that finally brought the two completely out of their trance like state. "Guys! Oh-ehm-gee Guys! You got to come see this!" The brown bunny said as she came hopping through the crowd. She grabbed Trisha by the paw and quickly led her off the dance floor. Judy quickly grabbed onto Nick's paw before she was carried away by her eager friend.
Trisha led the pair through the crowd quickly. Ignoring all the guests making comments or asking questions about what they needed to do to get a dance with Judy. The look of determination on the small brown bunnies face kept most of the other mammals at bay. Obviously this girl was on a mission. Trisha led Judy and Nick through a large door that led into a deserted hallway that was covered in Christmas decorations. Judy heard the large doors to the ball room close behind them and she began to get curious.
"Trisha where are you taking us?" Judy asked, more out of curiosity than protest. Judy looked back at Nick who shrugged weakly and remained holding Judy's hand as they were led through the hallway.
Trisha made them turn a corner to what appeared to be a dead end with a large red couch placed against the wall. The brown bunny tensed up suddenly as she saw the couch. An evil grin spreading across her face. She then turned and grabbed Judy by the shoulders and led her over to the archway. Satisfied Judy was in the right position she then turned to Nick who had a worried look on his face.
"What are you planning Trish?" Nick asked as he allowed himself to be led to the archway. The brown bunny remained silent as she did her work. Nick was moved around a few times but he was finally standing in front of Judy looking at his partner. Trisha took a few steps back and admired her handy work with a satisfied smirk.
"Okay, this is nice and all but what are you up to?" Judy asked as she tilted her head in slight confusion.
Trisha said nothing as she pulled out her phone and took a quick picture. The brown bunny took a second to look at her phone and let out a satisfied sigh. She then looked at the couple with a smirk, "Well I'll leave you two here for a bit. That Benny said he was saving a dance for me and then I plan to go flirt with some of those tactical guys!" Trisha then turned to leave and took a few steps. Before the bunny turned the corner though she stopped and looked at the pair. "You know I always thought that cops were more aware of their surroundings! You two need to look up!" With that Trisha left the partners alone underneath the archway.
Hanging from the archway was a small plant with a few ribbons wrapped around them. It was mistletoe. A Christmas tradition would be to enjoy a small kiss with a loved one while standing under the leafs. Judy realized what her friend had just done for her and began to think of ways to repay Trisha. She also felt somewhat awkward at the situation that Nick and she found herself in. She knew full well that it would take more than this to get him to take the final leap. She did however give Nick a playful smirk as she turned her head slightly and raised a cheek. Indicating where he should plant a gentle kiss.
Nick didn't say anything. He was staring down at his partner as a small smile crossed his lips. His emerald eyes were staring deeply into Judy's own violet ones and it made her shiver with excitement. Nick then began to slowly shake his head as he blinked slowly and took in a deep breath. Judy felt her ears droop at being denied something as simple as a kiss on the cheek. It wasn't like she was asking for much.
It was what happened next though that made Judy understand. Nick took a step closer to his partner and slowly slid an arm around her waist as he pulled her closer to him. Judy felt herself let out a small gasp in surprise as her eyes went wide. This wasn't a dream, this wasn't a joke, she could tell, this was real!
Nick slowly leaned down till he was just an inch away from Judy. She was worried at this moment he would pull one of his tricks. Say something witty and pull away at the last second. Maybe if she wrapped her arms around his neck or just held onto his tux she could get a small peck on the lips out of it.
"Merry Christmas Carrots," Nick whispered in a tone that told Judy this wasn't a trick. His words came out with a tone of compassion and want that told her what would happen next.
Nick gently pressed his lips to Judy's as they shared a kiss. Judy's eyes opened wider but then she felt her eyes lids grow heavy as she closed them. The bunny slowly wrapped her arms around Nick's neck as she pulled herself closer into the kiss. Her ears fell to her back as she let her emotions take control. She didn't want this moment to end, she hoped it would go on forever. As Nick pulled Judy closer to her the bunny realized it was about to get a whole lot better. Judy could feel Nick's lips part slightly, probing the bunny to see where she wanted to go. She answered the wordless question by opening her mouth to his. Her whole body began to shake with excitement and her breathing grew labored as the kiss evolved with more passion than she thought she would ever receive. As their tongues finally met she felt herself going wild deep inside. Her emotions were still somewhat effected by the Nighthowler serum so all she could think about was how to satisfy her carnal needs.
Nick as always was prepared for such things. He could feel Judy's grasp on him grow stronger and the kiss was growing even more heated as the time went on. The fox finally pulled away, even his breathing sounded labored. Judy still had her eyes closed and her lower lip was quivering in disappointment that the kiss had ended. She remained like that for a moment and only opened her eyes when she heard Nick clear his throat.
Judy slowly opened her eyes and saw that Nick was holding something in front of her so she couldn't see her Partner's face. It took her a moment for her eyes to adjust and understand what she was looking at. In Nick's paw was a small card with the name of the Lodge they were currently in. Judy took a second and then she realized it wasn't just a card, it was a room key!
"So how..."Nick began to say. Judy was sure he had some witty comment about not wanting to return to the party or how boring it was, even though it wasn't. Judy however never let him finish the sentence.
"Fuck yeah!" She said as she grabbed the room key and then pulled Nick into another passionate kiss. It was Judy that ended the kiss this time as she suddenly grabbed Nick by the paw and looked at the room key. A small number indicated the floor and room number the key was good for. With that Judy leapt down the hall, Nick's paw grasped tightly in her own, as the excited bunny led her partner to a night both of them would never forget.
Ok you made it!

Shippers you still with me? I mean that photoshoot scene just kind of happened. Look at the end though! Hope we get something this awesome in the main story!
