The Fox and The Rabbit
A.U: After the muzzle incident Nick's mother moves them away from the Zootopia and into Bunnyburrow, just as a nine year old Bunny is in a play on the nature of Predator and Prey. Nick is 14, Judy is 9 at the start of this. Nick joins the Police before Judy but isn't widely recognised for it.
Chapter 1: Scratch the record clean
Nick rolled his eyes as the small bunny made an over dramatic death scene, all the while yelling blood and death. Nick rolled his eyes again and walked out of the barn placing a pair of sunglasses over his eyes. His mother and father were across from a Carrot farmer, selling fertilizer and clothing. Nick's ears twisted as he remembered the reason they moved here. Nick leant against a tree as everyone in the barn walked out, the same little bunny from before was wearing a police uniform, Nick snorted.
"Isn't she adorable?" Said the sheep manning the stall next to the tree.
"You're asking the wrong guy, I don't speak to the police." Said Nick, frowning.
"Why?" Asked the sheep, looking at Nick.
"I'm a Fox." Said Nick, still looking at the small bunny.
"Yeah, so?" Asked the sheep, "Your parents and siblings are alright, in fact they help with getting more mammals here, increasing the profit."
Nick was silent, he saw the small bunny go after a younger fox. Nick looked at the sheep.
"True, just remembered, I gotta do something." Said Nick, following the bunny.
"Give them back." Said the bunny, looking at the other fox, Nick vague remembered his name to be Gideon Grey.
"Nice costume loser." Sneered Gideon, putting a small sheep's tickets into his front pocket.
Nick watched as Gideon got more and more aggressive, Nick sighed and did something he'd never thought he'd do, he intervened.
"What's going on?" Asked Nick, bored.
The small group all jumped at Nick's silent approach.
"None of yer business, now scoot before I scratch yer eyes out." Snarled Gideon, Nick looked unimpressed.
"If that's meant to scare me, then it's not working." Said Nick, flatly, he looked at the bunny, "What's going on?"
"Gideon took their tickets." Said the bunny, pointing at the animals behind her. Nick looked at them, noticing that they were cowering behind the bunny. Nick took a deep breath in and turned to Gideon, only to see that the smaller fox was lunging towards the bunny, his claws outstretched and his paws a flurry of movement. One hit the bunny on the cheek, causing her to fall over, grasping the tickets. Nick had shot forwards and received several to his face and neck. Growling Nick propelled himself at Gideon and clamped his jaw down on his arm, making the smaller fox yelp. As soon as Nick released the arm, Gideon shot off, away from the fair.
Nick looked at the small bunny giving the animals their tickets back, Nick smiled and started to head away from them.
"Hey!" Called the bunny, looking at him.
"What?" Said Nick, turning to look at her.
"Are you alright, Mister?" Asked the Bunny, looking at him. It was only then did Nick feel the sharp pain on his face, snout and throat.
Nick groaned and grasped at his face, before falling to his knees, the other children ran off to find officials, while the bunny ran to his side.
"Thank you." Said the Bunny, looking at Nick.
"For what?" Asked Nick, one of his eyes closing out of the pain it was in.
"For protecting me." Replied the Bunny.
"Don't mention it, Kid." Said Nick, trying to stand up.
The bunny tugged him down, stopping him from moving, "My names not kid its Judy." Said the Bunny.
Nick sighed and look at her from his one good eye, "Nicholas Piberius Wilde, at your service."
Judy smiled, just as the Fair Officials came over, with a first aid kit and Nick's father John.
Nick looked over at them, recognising the sheep from the stall and Judy's dad.
"Judy, oh thank the lord, you're alright." Said Judy's dad, "When the others said there'd been a fight and you were there, oh I was so worried."
"Dad, I'm fine, Nick saved me." Said Judy, pointing at Nick. Mr. Hopps's eye widened at the sight of the fox.
"He saved you?" Asked Mr. Hopps, as John grabbed Nick's head and looked over the injuries, "Who did that?"
"Gideon Grey, but it's okay, Nick bit him and he ran off, Gideon was even bleeding and he was crying like a baby." Said Judy, before pointing to her own scratch, "Look, I only got a small scratch, dad, my first battle wound."
"Kid, it's not a battle wound, it's superficial and will heal in a couple of weeks." Said Nick, wincing as gauze was placed over his face.
"How do you know that?" Huffed Judy, looking at him.
"My brother and I used to get scratches like that all the time, it's nothing lethal." Replied Nick, his ears going back at the pain.
"Yes, unlike these, There'll definitely be scarring and from what I see your right eye is buggered." Said John, looking at him, "Your ear's also split at the top but other than that, you're gonna live."
"Really, cool." Said Nick, jumping to his feet, "So what are we gonna eat tonight?"

"Did you see how fast he was back on his feet, it's like he didn't feel anything." Said Judy, looking at her Mum, as they set up the table for seven more. Stu had invited Nick's family over, as a thank you for Nick protecting Judy from Gideon.
"Yes, as you've said for the seventeenth time, Judy." Said Bonnie, lining up a spoon and fork.
"It's like he's used to that, like he's been through it before." Said Judy, just as there was a knock on the door.
"Bonnie, they're here!" Yelled Stu, allowing John and Sarah Wilde in to the house, followed by Nick and his four siblings, Tasha, Jack, Chloe and Steven.
"Wow, I thought this place would be smaller." Said Tasha, nudging Nick's shoulder, "I thought you said they were Bunnies, Scar-Face."
"Tasha." Growled Sarah, casting a look back at her daughter.
"What? It's not like its fault that we moved here, is it Nicky?" Said Tasha, making John clear his throat.
"Tasha, that's enough." Said John, making the Vixen shut me mouth.
"Welcome to our home." Said Bonnie, walking towards the group of seven, "I hope you don't mind vegetables and fruit, I know Foxes have a different diet to Rabbits but hopefully it'll work."
"Mrs. Hopps, it'll be fine, a majority of what we eat is vegetables anyway." Said Sarah, laughing.
"Aside from fish and birds." Said Jack, looking around, "Hey, Nick, wanna show them was a real fight looks like?"
"No." Said Nick, walking away from them. Bonnie and Stu looked at John and Sarah in worry.
"Don't worry, Judy is possibly the first friend Nick's made since we moved here four years ago." Said Sarah, "We used to live in Zootopia, but thing came up and we had to move."
"Zootopia doesn't like Foxes." Said Steven, the seven year old looking up at them, "Is Judy part of the family now?"
Everyone froze, not expecting a seven year old to come out with that comment.
"Steven, what do you mean?" Asked John, looking down at the child.
"Well, if Judy is part of the family then we can all see each other more often." Said Steven, innocently.

Nick walked out the back door of the burrow and was immediately tackled by a swarm of gray rabbits, Judy wrapping her arms and legs around his chest.
"Nick, you came!" Said Judy, hugging Nick tightly.
"Of course, Carrots, You're my friend." Said Nick, placing a paw on her back.
"Come on, Mum and dad need to meet you." Said Judy, dragging Nick back inside, her sibling grabbing hold of Nick's tail.
A/N: I'm gonna end chapter 1 here, I seen some comics of this scenario but they all have Nick the same age a Judy, naturally Nick would be in his teens by now so I made the ages as accurate as I could make for this fic. Next chapter (If people review) The Wilde's and the Hopps's will discuss plans for the future and we'll have a time skip.
