PS I don't own Zootopia.
The bunny stood there slumped over on her chair beside the stand, thinking about how she failed her training at the academy. After months of her training, she failed all the training courses she had to do due to her size, so she was kicked out the academy. Since she had nowhere else to go, she went back to her parents' farm.
She noticed that today is a sunny day, but her mood was highly the opposite of that.
Training to be a police officer was her life-long dream, but crushed in seconds when she was forced out of the academy.
Son of a-
"Hey Jude the Dude, how's it going?" Great. That one cheerful dad that doesn't see their daughter mourning.
"I'm Fine," Judy said plainly, continuing to stare at the ground.
"You're not fine, your ears are drooping." Fun. That reassuring mom that reassures when you don't want to be reassured
"Do you really think I'm fine!" Judy lashed out "I was KICKED out of the academy for failing everything because everything was too big for me, and I was too small. My dreams were crushed by just a simple order made by the freakin' instructor that NEVER believed in me! Do you really think I'm fine-"
Judy stops yelling when she sees a pink truck pull up to the stand. It says Gideon Pies. And at the bottom says In Collaboration with Hopps Family Farm.
Oh no, this can't be happening! My childhood bully is a freakn' pie baker! And worst of all, Gideon is friends with mom and dad!
Judy's eyes began to tear up. She relived the part where he hurt her most during her childhood. Thinking about that just disliked him and her parents even more.
"Judy, Hun, are you okay? You're crying." her mother asked, showing her concern
"No, I'm fine. I just need some... alone time, please" she muttered. Saying that just made her force more tears out.
She scurried across the field, trying to avoid being seen. Judy heard a car door slam and footsteps in the gravel. Gideon Grey.
She kept walking forward, trying to invade out, but she couldn't help eavesdropping at the same time.
"Heya there, Mr and Miss Hopps. I baked some pies for family, and also came over for some fresh produce that I need for my pies!" Must be Gideon.
"Thank you so much for the pies, Gideon. What kind of produce would you like?" Mr. Hopps asked. Listening to her mother being nice to her childhood bully just made her want to barf and gouge her eyeballs out.
"Just some blueberries and strawberries, please. How's Judy's training going on?" he asked
"Oh. About that... she came home because, unfortunately, she failed every course and was kicked out the academy." Miss Hopps said, "She'd love to talk to you, but she doesn't feel well, so she's going back in."
Please kill me now. Judy sped up
"She must be very small for all those training courses because they're always meant for larger mammals, not for some small town dreaming small bunny!" Gideon wheezed.
Even his laugh is as ugly as him. Once a bully, always a bully. No one changes when they grow up.
About 16 years before...
"Amen to that. Carrot farming is a noble profession..."
Young Judy zoned out, ignoring the lecture that her parents are giving to her that she can't be a police officer, she was more focused on Gideon and his weasel friend stalking her friends into the back alley of all the booths.
While her parents are not watching her, yapping there like there's no tomorrow, she runs over to the alcove.
She peers back. Her parents are still yapping. Judy decides to continue on.
She runs over to a tree, hiding behind it, she watched as the action unfolds
"Gimme your tickets right now, or I'm gonna kick your meek little sheep butt." Gideon pushes her sheep friend on the head. Her other sheep friend and bunny friend cower behind her.
"Ow! Cut it out, Gideon!" her friend snaps back
"Baa-Baa" Gideon imitates her "What are ya gonna do, cry?" Gideon snatches the tickets out of her hand.
Judy had enough
"Hey!" Judy shouts out, revealing herself from the tree "You heard her. Cut it out."
Gideon and his weasel friend turn their attention to Judy, her friends start to cower away.
"Nice costume, loser. What crazy world are you living in where you think a bunny can be a cop?" Gideon mocks
"Kindly return my friends' tickets," Judy asked
Gideon pats his pockets where the tickets are located "Come and get 'em... But watch out, 'cause I'm a fox," he raised his claws out "And like you said in your dumb little stage play, us predators used to eat prey. And that killer instinct's still in our DNA."
"You don't scare me, Gideon!" Judy confidently said
Gideon shoves Judy over onto the ground. Her friends scream and run over to the same tree that Judy hid behind to take shelter. Gideon goes closer to Judy
"You scared now?" Gideon mocks to her
Judy's breathing fastened, and her nose starts to twitch.
"Look at her nose twitch. She is scared!" the weasel laughed
Gideon comes even closer to Judy "Cry little baby bunny. Cry-"
In a flash, Judy kicks Gideon right at his mouth. He checks his mouth if it was bleeding, and licks his lips.
"Oh, You don't don't know when to quit, do ya?" Gideon reveals his claws.
Then, slash! He slashes Judy's left cheek, she screams, loudly. She reaches for her cheek, rubbing it, she wicks blood from the wound. Judy gasps back in horror, seeing the blood ooze off her hand, and onto her police costume.
"I want you to remember this moment- the next time you think you will ever be anything more than just a stupid, carrot farming dumb bunny!" Gideon screams at her and once again pushes her head to the ground.
Judy can only admit defeat. She stays there lying helplessly, while Gideon and his weasel friends share a high-five, and walks away.
She looks back at the tree, her friends weren't there.
They've must've run away when they saw the blood.
Her mom and dad ran over to her "Oh my God, Judy, we heard you scream, is everything okay?" her mom asked.
"Sweet cheese and crackers! Judy, you're bleeding," Her dad held up her face "What happened?"
"I bumped into the tree, which scratched my face, and I fell." Judy lied
"Oh, my! Let's get to the fair infirmary sweetheart, where they can treat you. Okay?" her mom lent her up.
They started to head back.
Judy looked back to where Gideon and the weasel ran off and only saw two specks along the horizon of trees.
Present Day...
The next day, Judy was all alone manning the stand.
Good, no parents to worry about. I really didn't want them here
It was a very slow, hot day. Judy had to constantly refuel herself with water. Minutes felt like hours. No one came to the stand, except for one elder goat, who just only asked for directions around Bunnyburrow.
No one's going to buy fruits and vegetables in this heat, I might as well pack up.
Just as when Judy picked up the first signage to pack up, a red sports car pulled up. The car's engine ceased, and she heard the driver's door open, and a pair of fuzzy, pointy ears appeared from the top of the car. She heard the crunch of footsteps on the gravel road, while the figure walked around the car.
It was a fox. Slim. Orange fur. Male. Green eyes. Green Hawaiian shirt. Blue tie, with red stripes. Brown pants. Aviator sunglasses. Typical police observations of a police officer or an ex-trainee wanting to be a police officer.
The fox walked to the stand, taking off his glasses. His jaw dropped
"Hi, my name is Nick Wilde and-" the fox, Nick Wilde, started
"What do you want? Fox!" Judy snapped, annoyed
"Did you know you're beautiful. I mean! Not that I like you, or anything?" he chuckled
Urg. Flirting
"Just tell me what you like. I don't have all day."
"It's only 9 in the morning. How about I stay here and keep telling you how beautiful you are,"
Judy glared at him, more annoyed than ever.
His eyes widened "Wow! Angry Bun," he muttered, "I'd like some blueberries."
...
The engine revved up, and the car sped off, leaving a trail of dust.
That stupid fox.
Judy went to put the money in the box but noticed a piece of paper along with it.
It was a note.
You're beautiful just like the night sky.
You often the brightest star around, sitting there to be found.
Will you come with me, there's a surprise that I have that is as beautiful as you.
- Nick Wilde
PS. Meet me here back at 10. I have a surprise for you.
Never got your name, I'd like to know it
Does he really like me? By the way, he looked at me, it sure did look like he did. With his charming smile and his wonderful flirting, any vixen would fall for him. Why did he choose me?
His face. His eyes. He's so handsome. Gosh.
Nick revved up the engine to his red sports car and drove off. He reached an intersection and turned right. He put the car on park.
Nick looked back to make sure that the Hopps Family Farm wasn't in sight, and that the bunny couldn't see that he parked the car.
Nick exhaled in relief.
Dammit! That was hell of a cute bunny. I've seen her before. I never know that she's so cute and beautiful closeup. I know that I'm not supposed to call a bunny cute, but, who's listening? It's just my thoughts in my head talking to myself. Anyways, she looked very upset, like she lost something. A family member? A friend? Or she's just depressed? I'll swoon her into telling me, if she does want to come with me, she might not even like me. Well, I'll find out tonight.
Nick shifted his gear to drive on his car, and continued to drive ahead to the highway, he had other matters to tend to before these evening plans.
"Bye, mom! Bye, dad!" Judy ran to the front door to open it
"Woah, Woah, Woah! Hang on, when did you get so uppity? Are you feeling any better?" His dad called out, from the kitchen, her parents followed her to the front door.
"Yep, I just what to take a stroll around Bunnyburrow!"
"This late at night? Honey, it's almost 10 at night. Are you sure you want to take a stroll now?" her mother asked
"Yep, I'm super sure. I'll be back. If not, then that means I found someplace like a hotel to stay for the night. OK? I'm not little anymore, I can handle stuff myself now. Anyways, bye!" Judy opened the door and ran out.
Judy waited by the stand, that is now cleared out of fruits and vegetables for the night.
She waited for at least 20 minutes for the red car to pull in, but with a bunny's limited night vision, she couldn't see very well at night.
She waited a bit more until she saw a pair of headlights coming towards her, and a sound of an engine became louder.
The car pulled up. The same fox came out the door, coming out handing her a bouquet of flowers
"For my sweet bunny." He handed the flowers to her, with his same smirk on his face
Judy just chuckled.
I love his ways.
Judy stepped into the car, sitting in the seat.
At first, she noticed that the seats were twice the size of her.
Probably fox size.
The fox got in "I know the seat is gigantic compared to you, but I can't do anything about that," he got his seat belt on "By the way, my name's Nick Wilde like you know."
"Judy Hopps"
Judy Hopps, huh, what a cute little name, especially when her last name is pun.
"Let's go, I have something to show you."
Then the car zoomed away from the stand.
