Best Coffee Ever

*BEEP-BEEP-BEEP*

Nick opened his eyes to the beautiful city of Zootopia the sun was shining the birds chirping the air carried a slight smell of hazelnut and blueberries… and then he woke up.

"Ya right…" Nick muttered to himself "It hasn't been that beautiful for months…" Nick reminisced of when he first joined the force with Judy and they made their first arrest. It was in the papers "120 mile an hour sloth brought to justice by Judy Hopps and rookie Nick Wilde."

"Well, time to get off my ass…" Nick pulled himself off his bed and to his kitchen in his small apartment. "What the…" Nick looked at the smoking coffee machine "Wow I'm surprised I didn't burn the house down with this thing. Well *Yawn* guess I'll get coffee in the break room at work"

[At The ZPD]

Chief Bogo walked into the room to begin the briefing. "Alright is everyone here… Wait a minute where's officer Wilde? Judy?"

"I haven't seen him since yesterday sir."

"Well go find him he's your partner and therefore your responsibility."

"Right now?!"

"Yes right now, you're both needed on a case!"

"Alright alright, I'll go find him then…" Judy sighed. Where could that dumb fox be… "Hey, Clawhauser have you seen the fox."

"Oh, Nick ya he looked super tired today said he was gonna get some coffee in the break room but that was half an hour ago."

"Kay thanks!"

Judy entered the break room to find the find her partner passed out in one of the chairs next to the coffee machine.

"Ironic" giggled Judy. "Come on big guy you need to wake up Bogo will kill you if he finds out you're sleeping on the job," Judy shoved and prodded Nick to no avail. "Ok if that's how you wanna play it…" Judy got a small cup from the counter and put in an order on the automated coffee machine "Let's see here... sugar hazelnut creamer and enter," Judy tooks some blueberries from the counter and squished them so the coffee would slightly taste like blueberry. He won't be able to stay asleep when he smells this it's his favorite. Judy held the cup under his nose.

"Hmm *sniff sniff*... coffee" Nick looked up "Oh *Yawn* hey Carrots what are you doing here."

"I should be asking you that do you know what time it is you missed the briefing and I had to come look for you."

"What? Sorry, my coffee machine broke and this cold weathers got me all drowsy."

"What are you talking about red foxes don't hibernate."

"Ya well, that doesn't mean I can't get sleepy when it's cold."

"Well anyway, Bogo needs us for a case."

"Wait Carrots… can I have the coffee"

"Sure" Judy giggled.

"Thank you… wait is that blueberry how did you know?"

"I uh I just knew y-you liked blueberries so I tossed some in," Judy blushed.

"Aww thanks, I didn't know you knew me so well."

"Well, we are partners."

"Anyway come on we don't want Bogo thinking we're ditching work."

[In Chief Bogo's Office]

"There you two are where've you been!? Never mind it doesn't matter. Look this is a case that the entire police department voted on you two taking don't ask me why. Tell me do you two remember the survey we took for "Fun" last week about which two officers would make the best couple. Well, that was actually a way of finding out which two people would be best suited for this case. You see this case requires two officers to go undercover as a couple and attend a dinner party held by a . We suspect he is one of Zootopia's biggest weapon dealers and that he's making a trade-off two weeks from now."

"Wait so why us again!?" Judy's face turned a slight red.

"You two were deemed cutest couple by… everyone."

"EVERYONE!?" Judy and Nick both said in unison as they blushed.

"Yes including me."

"S-so why tell us two weeks in advance?" Nick tried to change the subject.

"Since I thought both of you would be a little embarrassed about the idea I wanted to give you two weeks in advance to practice being a couple."

"I-I'm okay with it but I don't know if Judy would…" Nick turned to look at Judy.

"N-no I'm okay with it as long as it's for work purposes," Judy said shaking her head.

"Good! Because starting today you two are officially a couple."

[After Brief]

"Alright, now that I've filled you in on the details today you two are to go out and practice being a couple."

Judy and Nick exited the office. There was an awkward silence. What should I do It's so quiet…: they both thought.

*Yawn*

"Huh" Judy turned to see Nick rubbing his eyes "Hey Nick wanna grab some coffee?"

"Sure!" Nick blushed. Dammit, don't sound so excited you stupid fox.

[At Creature's Cafe]

"What should we get…" Nick looked at the menu but all the drinks were so expensive. But then something caught his eye there was a drink that was half off for couples. Well, I don't want Judy to pay on the first date…

"Hey, Carrots how bout we get number 8."

Judy searched the board for a second trying to spot number 8. Judy blushed a bright red "Oh uh s-sure I mean if you don't mind and why would you mind I mean we are a couple and that means we can do stuff like that and now I'm rambling and I'm just gonna stop talking."

Huh, why does she sound so panicked? : Nick thought.

Nick and Judy got to the front of the line.

"Hello, what can I get for yall… wait Judy? Judy Hopps!"

"I-I'm sorry have we met before?"

"You don't remember me? From when we were kids?"

"Wait Jeni!?"

"Ya I was in your play an there was that one time you got my tickets back from that mean ol Gideon Grey! Thanks for that by the way"

"No problem."

"Oh right back to your order. Uh, what was it again?"

"Oh yes can we get a number 8." Nick pulled out his wallet.

"Okay you want 1 Cuddle-Creature-Coffee for two and that there will be 6.89," Jeni giggled

Nick froze and looked up at the menu above. "#8 The Cuddle-Creature-Coffee a drink for two…" he mumbled to himself. Huh, so that's why she was so nervous when I said number 8. Nick placed a ten dollar bill on the counter.

"Go ahead and sit over there and your order will be ready in a second." Nick and Judy turned to walk back. "Oh and Judy…" Judy turned around to see a smirking Jeni winking "Go get em."

[After 3 Minutes Of Awkward Silence]

"Here's your order lovers"

Nick couldn't look Judy in the eye. Why am I so nervous It's only for work but… I can't stop my heart from beating. Nick looked up and Judy's head was down. I knew it she is uncomfortable being with me. "Hey, Judy you don't have to do this case if you don't want to…"

Judy looked up "No no no I want to it's just I've never actually had a boyfriend."

Nick blushed "Well if it's too much just treat me like you normally would and we'll work on the boyfriend stuff later."

"Thanks Nick."

"Hey Carrots, aren't you gonna have a drink?"

Judy looked up to see Nick drinking from one of the straws.

"I uh ah what the heck… Wow this is really good what's in it?"

"Blueberries and hazelnut Carrots, blueberries and hazelnut"
