When Things Crack
Nick was carrying Judy to the ambulance since she had hurt her leg at the museum. Once at the vehicle a deer started treating her wound and Nick spoke to the rabbit.
"You did it Carrots. You solve the case."
"We did it Nick. You helped me throughout it."
"I was just cheering."
"You saved the briefcase."
"Cheering."
"And faked being savage."
"Just cheering."
"And…you saved my life." Judy blushed and grabbed her ear. She was grateful of what Nick had done for her and it embarrassed her that he kept being helpful.
"Carrots, it´s okay. You saved my life before."
"Yeah, but it´s different."
"No it´s not Judy. In fact, I owe you my life."
"What?"
"Yes I saved you, but you saved me at least two times during the case. I owe you Judy." Judy blushed even more seeing how Nick was acting kindly to her, but then she hissed when the deer finished treating her leg.
"Sorry. You´ll be fine, just rest for a week."
"Thank you." She hoped out of the vehicle and leaned her arm over Nick so that she could walk.
"Hopps." Both mammals turned to see the buffalo, who came towards them and gently moved his paw to his pocket.
"I think you forgot this." The buffalo took out the bunny´s small badge and gave it to her, which made her eyes fill with some tears.
"T-thank you Chief."
"There´s nothing to thank Hopps. You did an amazing job and deserve to be one of our best."
She smiled and they were about to turn until the buffalo placed his hoof on Nick´s shoulder and made them both turn once more.
"What´s your name?"
"Wilde. Nick Wilde."
"Well Wilde, you did an amazing job too."
"Thanks."
"Hopps told me about you. She thinks that you can be a good officer."
"Yeah. She sees the good on everybody." Judy turned at him confused, but yet she smiled at the compliment Nick gave her.
"Well, if you want to join the ZPD I´ll give good word about you to the academy."
"Y-You would do that?"
"Of course. You have shown excellent form and deductive skills. You are cop material and a very good one."
"Thank you Chief."
"Although if you talk back at me again like you did on the Rainforest district I´ll stomp your tail." The fox got stiff, but an answer was in order since he thought it was unfair to judge him by doing the right thing.
"But I did it to help Carrots. You were going to fire her right on the spot and she was doing a good job." The buffalo sighed and his face softened.
"You are right. Hopps, I´m sorry about that. I was being unreasonable and unsupportive."
"It´s okay Chief. At the end everything turned out fine."
"Yes it did. Well, you have to rest that leg Hopps. And Wilde, the academy starts in two weeks. Go and fill the necessary papers as soon as possible."
"I will, thank you."
"You are welcome. Also, pack your bags. It takes four months to complete the training."
"I´ll handle it."
"Very well, goodbye both of you."
"Bye." Both answered in unison and the buffalo left them. Nick called a taxi and both went to Judy´s apartment, the fox helping her to get all the way to her bed.
"Wow Carrots. This apartment is a little bit tight."
"I know, but hey, it´s super cheap so I got that going for me."
"You´re right on that. Well, I think that´s my cue to leave." The fox started heading for the door, until Judy´s voice stopped him.
"Nick, could you stay for a second?"
"Sure. What´s up Fluff?"
"Well, I wanted to ask you if you really…you know…have considered becoming a cop?"
"Of course I have Judy."
"Why though? Not to be pushy, I´m just curious."
"Well to satisfy you curious bunny tail."
"Hey."
"Just joking." Judy grunted and signaled him to continue. "I´m doing this for you Carrots."
"What?"
"You have made me realize how empty my life was. Scamming people for meaningless money and no purpose. Then this hopping cheerful bunny came and gave me a purpose, a reason to fight for my dreams."
"Nick, you can´t be serious."
"I´m completely serious Judy. You showed me that life is more than money and comfort. When I told you about the Ranger Scouts I saw that after a long time I had a mammal I could trust, besides my mom. And when I was young I wanted to join a pack and do good. Now, thanks to you, I have that chance back. You have redesigned my life for the better Carrots. Like I said, I owe you."
"I-I don´t know what to say."
"You don´t have to say anything Fluff."
"I hope you become my partner Nick. Promise me you will try your best at the academy so that you get assigned to Precinct 1."
"I promise Judy. Also, I think your boss likes me, so that could be used as leverage."
"That might be true Nick, but…"
"I know, I know. I´ll give my best and become your partner with my own merits."
"That´s more like it."
"Well, now I do have to go Carrots."
"Okay Nick, see you soon."
"See you tomorrow Carrots."
"Wait, tomorrow?"
"Yep. I´ll come and see you every day until you heal."
"Thanks Nick."
"You´re welcome Carrots. Bye!"
"Bye!" With that the fox left Judy´s apartment and she smiled at her door.
"He really is a dumb fox. But he´s so sweet…wait. No, I can´t have feelings for him. I´m a bunny and he´s a fox. It´s just the heat of the moment, that´s all. I need to set my mind straight." Judy turned and laid completely on her bed, facing the mattress and all that was in her head was one thing, more specifically one name: NICK
After Nick left Judy´s apartment he smiled all the way back to his, where he quickly got into his pajamas and laid on his bed, but couldn´t find any sleep yet.
"Ok Nick, you need to focus. Yeah she´s sweet and caring and incredibly fantastic, not to mention extremely cute. But she´s a bunny. You can´t have feelings for a bunny being a fox. It´s just because how things have been playing. I´ll see her tomorrow so I can´t be fumbling around like this. Ughh, what have I gotten myself into?" He placed his face on his pillow as his entire body turned to face the mattress, but all that was on his head was one thing, more specifically one name: JUDY
Savannah Central
Former mayor Bellwether is behind bars today. Guilty of masterminding the latest attacks that have plagued Zootopia up late. In other news…
The T.V. was shut down by a frustrated hoof and the mammal got up and poured a glass of water angrily.
"If that sheep would have listened to me and hired more security for her laboratory her plan would still be active. Oh but she had to be the one who´s always right and now she´s in jail. Well, this only means that I have to take control of the situation." The mammal placed the glass on the sink and went to a desk inside a studio, taking out a big binder the animal started searching for contacts.
"Aha, here it is. Travis." The mammal quickly took out a phone and dialed the number, waiting a little bit until the mammal at the other end picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"Travis! How are you old friend?"
"Oh, it´s you."
"Of course it´s me!"
"I guess you saw the news."
"Well yeah. That´s the reason I´m calling you."
"Let me guess, you want to take the matter in your own hooves."
"You can´t be more correct."
"So?"
"Well, can you come to Zootopia by tomorrow?"
"For what?"
"I need to speak to you and see if you are up for the task."
"Remember I do ask for a big sum of money."
"I know. You´ll get paid. When have I failed you?"
"Fine. I´ll be there tomorrow at 2:00 p.m."
"Great! See you tomorrow."
"See ya."
"Hey Travis, hold on a second."
"What now?"
"I´ll have to pay you a little bit less than your usual fare."
"WHY?"
"Because you have already met one of the mammals that will be one of my targets."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I´ll tell you more about it."
"Ok, until tomorrow."
"Bye." The mammal hung up and then flipped through several other pages, finally finding the number that was being looked for.
"Hey kid!" The mammal greeted as the call was answered.
"Hey there."
"Have you seen the news?"
"Yeah, kinda sad that sheep didn´t accomplish her plan."
"I told her."
"I know you did. So, why are you calling me?"
"Well, can you come to my place tomorrow? Travis is coming and probably another guy too, so we can create a plan and make the sheep´s idea go ahead."
"Of course. At what time?"
"I think around three o´clock would be fine."
"Sounds good to me. See you tomorrow."
"Bye." The mammal hung up and once more looked into the binder for the last number that was needed. Once the call was answered the mammal was received by a low deep voice.
"What do you want?"
"Hey there Fin."
The next day
"Hey Carrots, how is your leg?"
"It´s fine. Hey, you want to see some movies?"
"I would love to! But first I brought you something." Nick handed her a carton box that had a handle on the top. Judy shot him a confused look before opening the small package. Instantly the smell of carrot cake got to her nose and she smiled at the fox.
"Thanks Nick. It smells delicious."
"Hope it tastes good too. So, what movies do you want to see?"
"Well, I was thinking we could have a Furvel Cinematic Universe marathon."
"That sounds good. Oh, but can we skip Phor: The furred world? That one isn´t really good."
"Nope. We are watching all of them."
"Fine. I´ll go make some popcorn." Nick went to get the treat until he heard a thud and turned to see the rabbit on the floor. He quickly got to her side and placed her on the bed.
"What were you doing?"
"I was going to put the movie."
"Judy, I´ll do it. You have to let your leg rest if you want to heal properly."
"But I-"
"Shush. I said I´ll handle it. Now, keep your fluffy butt on the bed." He went to her microwave and placed the popcorn inside. Leaving the popcorn popping he went for the movie while Judy just stared at him in awe.
He´s so sweet. No, I can´t. He´s a fox. But he´s just so caring and kind. No. I can´t. Even if I want to. I can´t have feelings for Nick.
Judy moved her gaze to her paws and fumbled around with her fingers until the beeping sound of the microwave took her out of her trance. Nick sat by her side and told her that she had to put her leg on the bed so that it could be straight. Judy sighed when Nick didn´t stop asking her to carefully move her leg over the bed, but a tinge of a smile was forming on her face as she saw how much he was taking care of her.
Savannah Central
"Hey there Travis!" The mammal stepped aside and let the weasel come inside his home, then guided the smaller mammal towards the T.V. room.
"Nice to see you again."
"Likewise. So, what´s this plan you have in mind? And what animal do I already now that is now a part of such plan?"
"Just wait until the others arrive." Immediately the mammal´s phone rang and it showed a text message. The contact name was Fin and the text said that he wouldn´t be able to make it. The mammal sighed and placed the phone over the table.
"What´s wrong?"
"Fin´s not coming."
"Well, then we can start right?"
"No, we need to wait for someone else. Do you want to catch the game while we wait?"
"Yeah, why not?" Both mammals watched the baseball game between wolves and coyotes until a knock came from the door. Travis offered to open the door and when he did a young mammal came in quickly.
"Sorry I´m late, had some paperwork to fill out."
"It´s okay kid. Now let´s talk about my plan."
"Wait, first tell me who´s this mammal I´m supposed to already know."
"Oh, you´ll find this really amusing. She´s ZPD´s very first rabbit officer."
Judy´s apartment
"Wow, that movie won´t get good. It doesn´t matter how much I watch it."
"Nick, give the movie a break."
"Well, next in line is way better than Phor two."
"Oh just put it on."
"Yes ma´am." Nick hurriedly placed the DVD and Judy giggled at the fox. Once the movie was reaching its climax Nick started to repeat the dialogues. "Because I´m with you till the end of the line."
"Nick, I want to hear the movie, not you."
"Aren´t you rude Jude. Hey!"
"What?" Judy widened her eyes as Nick seemed to have found a coincidence with the dreaded nickname that her parents had for her.
"That rhymed." The bunny let out some air and chuckled softly at the fox.
"Yeah it did Slick."
"It´s late now Carrots. I should be leaving."
"No Nick, the next movie is the best one!"
"I know Fluff. I love Furdians of the Pawlaxy as much as you do, but I need to get some sleep."
"Why?"
"Oh yeah, forgot to tell you. I am not coming tomorrow." The bunny´s face turned sad and her ears drooped as she heard Nick, who instantly saw her mood change and continued speaking. "I´m going to the academy so that they tell me what I need to fill out before they take me in."
"Oh. Well then, good luck!"
"Thanks Carrots, see you soon."
"See you soon Nick. Bye!"
"Bye." He closed the door and Judy laid on her bed and smiled at the ceiling while grabbing a pillow and giving it a squeeze.
"I can´t believe how much he cares about me. I know I shouldn´t even think of it, but he´s just so tender. You know what? Screw it. I´m having feelings for Nick and it feels amazing!" She squealed and squeezed the pillow even harder as happiness was roaming through her entire body. She now knew she likes Nick, but another question needed to be answered, but not now. Now the little bunny was smiling and not knowing what to do with her paws since she was feeling so full of joy. She saw the carrot cake and grabbed it. Taking bites out of the desert she smiled wider each time since it reminded her of Nick. "Oh you handsome, sweet fox."
Nick arrived at his place and smiled as he simply laid on his bed, not even changing outfits since that would mean her scent would be lost and he wanted to smell the cute bunny before going to sleep.
"How can a rabbit make me feel like this? She´s so smart and funny. I know this isn´t right, but I would be lying to myself if I keep rejecting the truth. I have feelings for Judy. Ahh, letting that out feels so good." Nick turned and was about to go to sleep when Judy´s scent hit his nose. He smiled and hugged his tail tightly. "Judy, you cute little bunny."
ZPD-Precinct 1
"Okay Bellwether, talk." Bogo was glaring at the mammal. It had been a long day of trying to break all of Bellwether´s accomplices and now it was the turn of the mammals that orchestrated the retched idea.
"What do you want to know?"
"Where did you get all the NightHowlers?"
"Well, seeing that it´s just a plant that makes bugs go away and that almost no one knew their side effect, I bought most of it."
"And why have Weaselton steal more?"
"I needed more serums and my funds where limited at the time."
"Why did you do this?"
"Because predators shouldn´t be left free around prey. There´s a reason they have such dangerous fangs and claws. To tear prey apart. So I just showed Zootopia what predators really are."
"And when you miserably failed the bond between preds and prey got stronger."
"Ironic isn´t it?"
"Hmmph. Where did you find out of your accomplices?"
"As I was the assistant mayor I had access to a lot of information. So it was easy tracking down a chemist and some other guys to watch the business."
"And you trusted them?"
"I paid them. That made them follow my rules and orders. But if I would´ve listen to that darned mammal my plan would´ve worked."
"What mammal? And what advice?"
"You´ll see what mammal soon enough. And the advice was that I should have had more security at my laboratory. Know I realize my mistake."
"Your mistake was messing with the mammals of Zootopia."
"Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, soon enough that mammal I told you about will take things further."
"How are you so sure about that?"
"Oh, let´s just say that said mammal just wants to see the world tear itself apart."
"We´ll stop him."
"Sure you will. The mighty ZPD."
"We stopped you, we can stop him. Mostly now that Wilde will be joining the force."
"Wilde?"
"Yes. The fox that helped Hopps during the case."
"That scum! How is it that the ZPD is letting a fox become an officer?"
"Well, he proved to be a good mammal and capable of doing such work. Not to mention he has keen skills and persuasion is his ally."
"Not even with that fox will the ZPD be able to stop what´s coming!"
"And what is coming?"
"Just wait and you´ll see." The sheep smirked at the buffalo who grunted and made his way to the door, until the sheep´s voice made him turn at her.
"Bogo."
"What?"
"Watch your back." With that an officer took the smirking sheep to her cell as the buffalo headed to his office and placed the folder on his desk giving a sigh.
"This is getting too complicated." He looked at the picture of his family at his desk, consisting of his wife and his son, who had served the police department for 6 years already. "I do this so that you can have a better Zootopia to live in." He smiled at the picture and picked all his stuff. Turning off his lights he closed the door and left for his home, although he was starting to worry. Bellwether made statements that only meant danger for the entire city and she took the time to "warn him" about his back. He let those worries slide, for now, as he arrived to his household and entered to see his wife waiting for him at the living room.
"Hey honey."
"Hi sweetheart. How was your day?"
"Well, since Hopps just apprehended the mastermind of Zootopia´s biggest crime plot ever, it has been quite a busy day. But a new mammal is going into the academy. The fox I told you about."
"Oh, the one that talked back at you?"
"Yeah. It has been years since someone last did that."
"And that´s why you are thinking of hiring him even if he´s not valedictorian?"
"It´s a part of it. I´m also going to hire him so he can team up with Hopps. I have never seen a pair of animals in such synchrony even when they had a rough start. They simply fit to well. And how they solved the case was just astounding."
"Well, now you are at home and you can forget about all that. You need to rest."
"That I´ll do. Hey, were´s Robert?"
"He said he would arrive soon. He was about to leave from some friend´s house."
"Okay. You´ll wait for him?"
"Yeah, go to sleep Chief." Bogo smiled tenderly at his wife and saluted, gaining a chuckle from the female buffalo and he went to put on his pajamas and fell asleep almost instantly.
Savannah Central
"So, now everyone knows the plan?" The mammal asked as the explanation had been given for the second time.
"Yeah, but do you think Fin will get on board?"
"Don´t worry kid. If he doesn´t we´ll just find another mammal. Well, it has gotten late. We´ll meet again in two months to study the vulnerable points of both our plan and the objectives."
"Okay. Wow, I can´t believe we are targeting Judy Hopps. I remember I used to hang out with Gideon Grey and now the big softie is baking pies, meanwhile here I am. A mammal for hire. The world is strange."
"Yes it is Travis. Yes it is." The mammal guided both of the visitors outside and then went to pour another glass of water. "We´ll see each other soon old friend. Soon enough." The mammal moved and all that was able to be seen inside the dark room was a picture in which shined a ZPD´s badge.
The next day-Zootopia´s Police Academy
"Nick Wilde?"
"I´m here."
"Come inside." The fox stood from the cushioned chair and went inside the polar bear´s office. Once inside the bigger mammal sat down and view some pages from a file meanwhile the fox fumbled with his paws.
"So. You are the fox that helped Officer Hopps during the missing mammals' case."
"Yes ma´am."
"And Chief Bogo told me that you did and amazing job."
"I think I did okay."
"Well then. Do you want to be a police officer?"
"Yes. That´s why I´m here."
"Very well. The concentration starts in one week. You have that time to gather the required documents and your stuff. As you may know by now this is a four month hard working process, so you need to come with your mind prepared and focused or you´ll be dead!"
"I will ma´am! What documents do I need to present once I sign up and come to the concentration?"
"The information will be given to you by my secretary. For now that would be all Mr. Wilde. I hope you live up to the expectations that Bogo has set on me."
"I´ll give it my best!" The fox said goodbye and went towards the assistant´s desk.
"Hi."
"Hey there. How can I help you?"
"I just finished my interview with the sergeant and she told me that I could pick up my information with you."
"Of course. Let me get it for you." The lynx got up and in a matter of second returned to Nick with a blue ZPD folder. "Here´s is everything you need to know before you start your training."
"Thanks man. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye." When the lynx said farewell Nick went to the Zootopia Railroad Service and sat inside a wagon. He read the folder and sighed when he finished doing so.
"Great, this is a lot of work to do. I can finish it today, but I won´t be able to see Judy today. What has she done to me?" Nick chuckled at seeing how he was already missing the bunny and then the train stopped. He got out and went to his home so that he could begin his new life.
Judy´s apartment
"Unngh." Judy was trying to walk around her apartment. Her leg almost didn´t hurt anymore, but walking seemed to be quite tricky yet. "I´m done for today." She slumped on her bed and straightened her leg, boredom taking over her as she had nothing to do and could only think of Nick. "Now I know why I´m bored. He is probably back from his meeting already." She went for her cellphone and was about to unlock it when a phone call from Nick came in, which she answered quickly.
"Hey there Carrots! How has been your day?"
"Hey Nick. It´s been pretty boring without you here. Although I am starting to walk better since I have less pain."
"That´s amazing! Aww, you miss me?"
"Yes."
"Don´t worry Fluff. I´ll be there tomorrow."
"Oh, how was your interview?"
"It was fast. The sergeant looks kinda frightening. They gave me what I have to fill and it´s a lot."
"Then I´ll let you work."
"Nah, I was taking a break. I´m halfway through so it can wait."
"Oh, okay."
"So, you can walk a little now?"
"Yeah. It´s easier when I already walked a bit since when I get of bed my leg feels sore."
"Great. I was thinking if you…I don´t know, would like to…you know…catch a movie tomorrow."
"Of course! We can finally watch Furdians of the Pawlaxy together!"
"Oh, yeah. Th-that´s what I meant."
"Nick, that´s not what you really meant, right?"
"I was actually thinking if you would like to go to the…cinema." Judy could´ve sworn that she heard the blush coming from Nick. She squealed silently and smiled. She was going on a date with Nick.
"Of course Nick. Which movie would you like to watch?"
"I was thinking we could see the new Furvel movie."
"That would be amazing!"
"And once that is over we can go to your place and watch Furdians of the Pawlaxy."
"That would make the day even better!"
"Nice to hear you like the plan."
"I love the plan Nick!"
"Haha, okay Carrots. You need to calm down a bit. I´ll continue my paperwork, see you tomorrow."
"Until tomorrow!" She heard the line cut and squealed once more, only making it loudly being the difference.
"I´m having a date with Nick! A date! With Nick! I´m so happy!" She took her pillow and squeezed it while making several noises that were overwhelming even for her loud neighbors.
"Hey rabbit lower your volume!"
"Leave her alone, can´t you see she got herself date?"
"Oh shut up!"
"You shut up!" The two silenced and Judy turned and faced the wall next to her bed.
"I´m going on a date with Nick." She said while drifting into a peaceful and happy night of sleep, until her cellphone sounded five minutes later.
Nick´s place
"I think I just asked Judy on a date." Nick said as he placed his phone on a table. Shrugging he continued filling and gathering all the paperwork that was necessary for him to enter the police academy. After he finished he put on his pajamas and went to bed, only to have his eyes widened with sudden realization. "I asked Judy out. On a date." He smiled and decided to let that feeling consume him as he entered the realm of sleep.
Zootopia Police Department-Precinct One
Bogo had filed most of the case´s information and was about to leave until his phone started ringing. He picked up the call with a rough voice because he had being working nonstop since early in the morning.
"Bogo here."
"Hello Chief."
"Sonya, nice hearing your voice." The buffalo genuinely smiled since he had not talked with his academy days friend in a while.
"Likewise. Hey, just so you know, that fox you told me about has already come and talked to me."
"He has? And what do you think about him?"
"Well, he does seems to be quite confident."
"Believe me Sonya, he´s a good prospect."
"He does seems like one. I only have one issue."
"Which is?"
"You do know he hasn´t paid taxes during his entire life, right?"
"Yes, Hopps made me aware of that fact."
"How can we accept him? If he turns a cop we are going to have a tax evading officer running around."
"Sonya, as much as that might be bad, City Hall has already pardoned his debt."
"Why?"
"Because his taxes, if they were paid, would not even make a difference."
"But mammals´ taxes combined make the difference."
"I know, but Wilde´s taxes being calculated were tiny. Really tiny."
"How so?"
"For starters, he lives under a bridge, literally."
"You don´t have to tell me anything else Bogo."
"Is there any other doubt?"
"You have already planned on hiring him once he gets out of the academy right?"
"Yes I have. He´s a great mammal and a strong one too. Also, he makes a pretty good team with Hopps."
"So they will be partners?"
"Surely, unless he can´t make it pass the academy."
"I´ll motivate him."
"Thanks Sonya."
"You´re welcome. Oh, Chief."
"Yeah?"
"I would talk to the fox though. Hopps needs to know that he doesn´t have a place to live."
"I´ll speak with him. Goodnight Sonya."
"Night Chief." Bogo finished the call and quickly dialed a number. He waited a bit until a cheerful voice came from the other side.
"Hi Chief!"
"Hi Hopps. Were you already asleep?"
"Yeah, but it´s okay. What´s up?"
"How is your leg?"
"Oh, it´s better. Nick will come tomorrow and I´ll be able to walk around outside my apartment."
"Good news. Do you think that you´ll be able to come on Monday?"
"Monday? Hmm, that´s three days away. I think I´ll be able Chief."
"Good. You´ll have to file your report on the NightHowlers."
"Okay Chief. Have a good night."
"You too Hopps." He hung up and left his office thinking that once his new team of small mammals was formed the city would have exceptional mammals too admire.
Next day-Judy´s apartment
"Carrots open up!" Nick was knocking quickly at the bunny´s door, but immediately remembered that she couldn´t walk right yet and that she hid a key under the doormat. He quickly opened up and saw that Judy was trying to get up, so he rushed and placed her back on her bed while giving her a nervous smile. "Sorry."
"It´s okay Nick."
"Do you want me to help you downstairs?"
"Yes please." Once Nick and Judy reached the buildings tiny lobby Judy was already capable to walk. Nick told her that they could call a cab so that her leg wouldn´t get hurt, but she told him that walking would help her heal faster.
"Okay Judy, what kind of popcorn would you like?"
"I would like the caramel ones please."
"You don´t need more candy Carrots, you are already too sweet."
"Nick, stop it!" She playfully punched his arm as she chuckled and blushed. Nick giggled too, but he was chastising himself in his mind.
I can´t believe I´m flirting with Judy. I just discovered I have feelings for her and I´m already doing this. I´ll just act casually. We are friends that are going to watch a movie. On a date. Yeah, real smooth Wilde.
"What flavor are you going to ask for Nick?" Judy´s voice took the fox out of his trance and he scanned the options before settling for just some regular popcorn.
"That would be fifteen dollars." The jaguar told both of them and Judy started to go for her money, but nick beat her to it and winked at her.
"Don´t worry Carrots. My treat."
"Thanks Nick." Once they received the popcorn they went to their seats and started watching the movie.
Savannah Central
"Hey Fin." The mammal had finally made contact with the animal that seemed to have evaded him for some time.
"What?"
"You haven´t taken my calls."
"I´ve been busy."
"Well, want to come around so that you hear the plan?"
"I´ll be there in twenty."
"Sounds good to me." The line was cut and the mammal huffed at the phone.
He can be such a jerk sometimes.
Going to the kitchen and pouring a glass of water the mammal started talking to no one in particular.
"I´ll put the bomb under the desk. That way when he dies at least he´ll be recognizable. Although the explosion might damage someone else. Meh, I don´t really care, getting to him is the important thing." The mammal continued speaking until a knock interrupted the self-dialogue and when the door was opened the way smaller mammal came into the house.
"What´s this plan you are rambling so much about?"
"It´s nice to see you too."
"Yeah yeah. Spill the beans."
"I don´t have any beans. Would you like a glass of water?"
"You and your puns. You want me to leave?"
"Relax, geez. Well, here´s the thing."
Outside the cinema
"Nick, the movie was amazing!"
"I know. Those visual effects were astounding."
"Yeah-ow!" Judy squinted and almost fell to the ground before Nick caught her.
"What´s wrong Carrots?"
"My leg hurts a bit. Don´t worry, I´ll be fine." She tried to keep walking but felt Nick holding her still. She turned to look at him and saw his face full of concern as his grip grew tighter and his eyes moved through the park until he found something and returned to look at the bunny.
"Come, you have to sit down."
"Nick, I´m fine."
"No you are not Carrots. Right now what you need to do is to have your leg straight. Now come on."
"Nick I told you, I´m fi-ahh! Nick!" Judy found herself being carried by the fox as he was walking through the park. She held tight of his shirt so that she wouldn´t fall and instinctively she buried her face on his chest. Nick placed Judy on the bench and made her straighten her leg, the he examined that the wound hadn´t opened up again and once he made sure of it he sat by her side and shot her a concerned look.
"Carrots, you can´t overwhelm yourself like that."
"But I´m fine Nick." She tried to stand up but hissed when she felt pain on her leg and Nick immediately pulled her back to the bench.
"Judy, stop. You´ll only hurt yourself more."
"But Nick-"
"Judy, please." She sighed and looked at the ground, but felt how Nick got closer to her and she looked up to see him staring at her sweetly. "Don´t scare me like that Carrots."
"Huh?"
"I thought that you had hurt yourself again. Don´t do that Judy." She smiled at him and grabbed his paw and squeezed it.
"Okay Nick. I promise I´ll be more patient."
"Thanks Carrots." Both were staring into each other´s eyes and Nick realized they were still holding paws, so he got out of the bunny´s grip and stood up off the bench. Eyeing an ice cream store he thought of the perfect excuse to break the contact, as well as a way to make Judy cheer up. "I´m going to get us some ice cream. Carrots for you I suppose Carrots?" He snickered as Judy rolled her eyes.
"Har har Slick. But you failed. I would like an orange ice cream please."
"Very well then." He went to the ice cream store and left Judy alone, so she started speaking to herself.
"He´s very protective of me. God, why do I feel like this? I know he treats me kindly and that he´s so sweet. But what does he do to make me feel so special? I feel…no it can´t be. I mean, we are close, but we don´t know each other that much and I don´t think he…loves me. Can it possibly be? He´s funny and charismatic...oh. I-I´m in love with Nick." Judy widened her eyes as realization struck her. She indeed was in love with Nick Wilde. "I´m in love with him." She smiled widely and squealed, something she had been doing a lot lately. When she heard Nick´s steps behind her she relaxed and looked at him. He gave her the ice cream and place a bag full of ice over her wound. They ate their sweet slowly and exchanged stories and laughs. When Judy finished her ice cream she left the trash by her side and leaned on Nick´s arm. She felt the fox so stiff and to make him relax she patted his arm.
"Hey Carrots."
"Yeah?"
"How´s your leg doing?"
"Oh, it´s better now. Thanks for the ice bag, it did help a lot."
"You are welcome. It´s time we head to your place. It´s about to get dark."
"But I´m comfortable." She said while rubbing her head on his arm, making Nick chuckle and she giggled.
"Sorry to break your comfort bubble Fluff, but it is time we go back."
"Awwww."
"Carrots."
"Okay, okay. Let´s go." She was about to stand up, but Nick placed his paw on her shoulder and made her sit down once more.
"After what happened we are taking a cab. Before you say anything let me tell you that I won´t let you walk to your apartment form here and you´ll have to fight me to get there." She smiled and raised her paws as a sign of defeat. Nick hailed for a cab and both got inside, going towards Judy´s apartment.
Once there Judy could actually get up the stairs, Nick helping her on the ones she was having difficulties. When they got inside Judy went to the bed and straightened her leg and Nick was about to leave until Judy spoke to him.
"Nick, you promised we would watch Furdians of the Pawlaxy."
"But it´s late."
"I don´t care. A promise is a promise."
"Fine. I´ll stay." He moved to place the DVD and sat down on the bed, reclining on the wall. As the movie moved forward Judy was watching with her total attention, meanwhile Nick was struggling to keep himself awake. After the movie´s climax Judy felt her bed move and felt more weight behind her, as well as a steady breath. She turned to see a completely knocked out Nick, sleeping peacefully at the edge of the bed. Smiling she turned off the T.V. and the DVD player and snuggled with Nick, who seemed to unconsciously wrap his tail around her, making the bunny shiver and then her tail wiggled against his.
"Goodnight Nick. Love you." She whispered to the sleeping fox and gave his neck a kiss before snuggling even more with the vulpine as she closed her eyelids and fell asleep.
Bogo´s home
"Hey Robert!" Bogo greeted his son as the younger buffalo came through the door.
"Hey dad. How was work today?"
"Tired. With this missing mammals being found and those serums getting their antidotes I have every mammal from City Hall right up my tail. And since the city lacks a mayor they proposed to me that I should take charge until they found someone for the place."
"And what did you say?"
"I turned it down. But I proposed and old friend of mine. He has a PhD in political sciences and a degree from the most prestiged law school in Zootopia."
"So, he´s a big shot?"
"Yeah, you could tell he is a big shot. Ann how was your day?"
"It was fine. Caught some thieves trying to rob a store and stopped a mammal selling illegal substances."
"It sounds like a good day of work."
"It was, although being assigned to Tundratown made it cold. And uneventful. With Mr. Big ruling the turf criminals have to double check if they are targeting a Big service."
"You are right on that son."
"Why haven´t you caught him yet?"
"Because we lack proof. As well-known Mr. Big´s activities might be, he does a great job covering his tracks."
"Okay."
"I´m going to sleep now. Dinner is on the fridge, just put it on the microwave for one minute."
"Okay, night dad."
"Night son."
Bogo entered his room and drifted while hearing his son move around the kitchen and placing his diner on the microwave.
Savannah Central
"So, that´s your plan?"
"Yes."
"With the bomb and everything?"
"The bomb is one of the most important things."
"What do you get from killing him?"
"Without that mammal around Zootopia might crumble and leave the road clear for the rest of the plan."
"Okay, I can see that."
"So, are you in?"
"You´ll have to pay me. A lot."
"Considered it done."
"Then I´m in."
"Good."
"I´ll leave now. Hope you are right about this."
"When have I been wrong?" The mammal smirked as the door was opened and Fin got out of the house. Whistling the mammal poured another glass of water and drank it quickly. Going to the bedroom the animal went to bed and turned on a computer, which showed the blueprints of a large building.
"This will work. It has to. I will get my revenge. Soon enough the entire city will know of what I´m capable of and they will kneel at me. Soon Zootopia will be mine and then I´ll tear it apart. This is not a city of hope and peaceful interaction between classes and species. This is just a time bomb and Bellwether just started the countdown." The mammal went to sleep after days of planning.
Next day-Judy´s apartment
Judy woke up and immediately was filled with joy when she saw the fox still sleeping in front of her. She rubbed her head on his chest and smiled just by having the mammal she loves right by her side. She felt Nick move and she got away a bit to see him and found him mumbling and his leg was twitching. Judy giggled and booped her nose with his making it twitch and the fox´s paw moved unconsciously to scratch it, which made Judy break in laughter and woke up Nick.
"Judy?" His eyes widened seeing that he was laying on the bunny´s bed and she was laughing like crazy. He got up quickly and looked around the place to know if it wasn´t a dream.
"Hahaha, oh Nick. Why are you so surprised?"
"Well, I-I slept in your bed."
"So?"
"I-I…" Nick sighed and moved a paw over his face. "I fell asleep during the movie, didn´t I?"
"Yes you did. You sleepy fox." Judy got up and leaned on Nick´s shoulder. She stayed like that for a while until Nick spoke up.
"Fluff."
"Yeah?"
"My arm is numb." She quickly moved her head and laughed nervously.
"Sorry."
"It´s okay. Hey, why were you laughing?"
"Oh, when you were still asleep you were mumbling, so I booped your nose with mine and it started twitching. Then you moved your paw and started scratching your nose!" Judy broke in laughter once more since she remembered the events, but Nick widened his eyes and looked at her amazed.
"You booped your nose with mine?" Wow, such a bold move Carrots.
"Yep."
"Ha, sly bunny."
"Dumb fox." They laughed and Nick was about to leave, but Judy managed to make him stay and watch the last movies of their marathon. Later Nick took her to a walk so that her leg could move and get used to walking. She walked with no problem and when they arrived to her apartment Nick stayed for a little while and Judy finally let him go.
"This bunny´s going to smother me to death. She´s so nice. Wait, did I just fell in love with Judy? Yes, yes I did." Nick smiled when he arrived to his bridge and laid down on his inflatable bed. Knowing that after all his life, he had finally found love and it felt so good.
Monday
"Hello Chief!" Judy greeted cheerfully, coming through the buffalo´s office since the three months that passed of her formal resignation.
"Hello Hopps. How is your leg?"
"It´s perfect now. Nick helped me through the week and I managed to get some walking."
"That´s good to hear."
"So Chief, where´s all that paperwork?"
"It´s on your desk Hopps."
"Thanks Chief. I´ll start working right now." The bunny was going for the door but Bogo stopped her and started speaking.
"Hopps, have you talked with Wilde about the academy?"
"Yeah, he already told me that he has filled all the papers that are necessary to get in."
"Great. But, has he told you why City Hall has pardoned his debt?"
"Wait, City Hall pardoned his debt?"
"Yes. Mostly because of his living situation."
"The popsicle hustle?"
"Besides that. This is something Wilde needs to talk with you."
"What do you mean Chief?"
"Since you are going to be partners if Wilde completes his training properly…" Bogo was interrupted by a squeak and he looked at the bunny skipping on her place.
"Sorry Chief. I´m just excited to hear that."
"Good thing, but as I was saying, since you´ll be partners you need to have your full trust on each other. You´ll have to ask Wilde about his living conditions."
"I will Chief. Thank you."
"You are welcome. Now, go work on that report."
"Right on it sir!" She saluted the buffalo and left the office of the giggling mammal. While going to her desk she wondered of what Nick needed to tell her. Once she arrived and saw the insanely big amount of papers on her desk and groaned she took out her phone and messaged the fox.
"Hey Nick."
"Hey Carrots. What´s up?"
"Are you free today?"
"For you I´m always free Fluff."Judy smiled and blushed at Nick´s message and thought to herself that he simply was too charming.
"Har har. Well I´ll meet you at the diner right outside the precinct. Does 3 p.m. sounds good to you?"
"Prefect. I´ll see you there then."
"Okay, see ya Nick."
"See ya Fluff."Judy left her phone on her desk and smiled, but immediately frowned when she remembered the amount of paperwork. "Time to get to work."
Nick´s mom´s house
"Who was that honey?" Nick´s mom asked him as he smiled and brought his cellphone inside his pocket.
"Mhm? Oh, it was Judy."
"That bunny friend of yours?"
"Yes."
"She really is special, isn´t she?"
"You have no idea mom."
"I´m glad you feel like this Nick. It´s nice seeing you so happy and fulfilled."
"Thanks mom."
"So, you were about to tell me something important?"
"Right. Mom, I´m leaving the hustling business."
"For real!?"
"Yes mom."
"Nick, I´m so glad!" The older fox hugged Nick tightly as she squealed with joy.
"Mom…can´t…breathe."
"Ups, sorry." She let him go and laughed nervously. "So, what are you going to do now?"
"These are the other news. I´m going into the police academy."
"What?"
"I´m becoming a cop mom."
"Are you sure about it?"
"I´ve never been so sure about anything else in my life. I know this is what I want. Making this makes me feel right. Since I wanted to join the Junior Ranger Scouts I wanted to do good. This is my chance to get that hope and will back."
"Oh Nick, I´m happy for you. Also, did Judy work as a conviction?"
"More than a conviction mom. She´s the reason of my change of mind and actions."
"You really love her, don´t you?" Nick blushed and placed his paw on the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed that his mom had read him so easily.
"I-I do mom."
"Good for you Nick. But now that you enter the academy will you be able to see her?" The fox´s ears immediately drooped since hearing his mom talk and realizing that he wouldn´t be able to see Judy during his training made him sad, since mammals at the academy are not allowed to leave until they finish and they can´t receive any visitors.
"I-I…I don´t know."
Later that day-The diner
"Hey Carrots!" Nick greeted the bunny who came in the establishment with a little skip on her steps. "It´s nice seeing you using your uniform again."
"Hey Nick. Thanks. It feels good honestly. I´ve missed it."
"Now you´re back. Hey, is this diner any good?"
"Yes Nick. There´s a reason it opened in front of a police precinct."
"Can´t argue with that logic. What are you going to order?"
"The beans soup. You?"
"I´ll order that soup as well and I think the spaghetti sounds good."
Both mammals placed their orders and had a little chit chat while waiting for their food, which amazingly came fast.
"Hey Nick, you start at the academy this Wednesday, right?"
"You are correct Carrots."
"Great! Can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
"How come I´ve never visited your place?" The fox stiffened before taking a bite from his spaghetti, which made him drop the noodles on the plate.
"M-my place?"
"Yeah."
"Well, you were hurt, so we had to be at your place."
"That´s a lame excuse Nick. I could have walked or we could have taken a cab. Nick, tell me why."
"I-I…don´t think you want to know Carrots."
"Nick, if we are going to be partners we have to trust completely on each other."
"Carrots, I…"
"Nick, please. Trust me." She placed her paw over his and squeezed it while shooting him a sweet smile. Nick sighed and squeezed her paw in return while looking to the ground.
"You have already visited where I live Judy."
"What?"
"Just one week ago."
"Really?"
"Yes. I-it was when you…apologized to me."
"But we were under a bridge that day."
"Exactly." Nick´s ears drooped and he moved his paw of Judy´s grasp. Judy stared at him confused, until realization struck her. She widened her eyes and quickly moved to the fox´s seat and enveloped him in a tight home.
"I-I had no idea Nick. I´m sorry."
"I-it´s okay Judy. It´s okay." He took deep breaths and returned the bunny´s hug.
"Why don´t you live with your mom?"
"Because she can barely live by herself. I even had to give her money during the years so that she could pay her taxes and buy food. So I was left with the scraps, which I used to keep going. I couldn´t afford a roof to cover me, so I decided to grab a roof."
"But, why haven´t you told me until now?"
"I didn´t want you to feel bad about me. I had been living a good life, but I know how you are such a kind soul and you would have felt bad, just like now. I don´t want you to be sad."
"Nick, you can tell me anything. I´ll always be there for you."
"Thanks Carrots. You´re amazing."
"So are you Nick." She broke the hug and smiled at him sweetly. They continued their meal and then when the check arrive Judy quickly grabbed it and paid for it.
"Carrots, let me pay."
"No Nick. After what you told me and all the stuff you paid for the last week this is the least I can do."
"Okay. Thanks Fluff."
"You are welcome." They left the diner and Nick accompanied Judy to the front door of Precinct one and started to say their farewells.
"Bye Carrots. Good luck at your job."
"Thanks!" She grabbed his tie and pulled him so he could be at her eye level. She quickly gave him a tiny kiss on his cheek and started walking towards the building, leaving a wide eyed fox behind her. "Bye Nick."
"Wait, Carrots!" He called her name a tad late since she was already inside the building and he moved his paw over the place Judy had kissed, smiling. "You sly, beautiful bunny."
Judy went inside her cubicle and looked around so no one could watch her as she skipped around her workspace and fist bumped the air several times. "I can´t believe I did that, but he looked so cute when his face froze!" She giggled and hugged herself since she was irradiating with happiness. "I love him so much. I can´t wait for him to become my partner." She turned around and saw the paper tower, now way smaller than when she first saw it, which made her sigh. "I still have work to do."
The bridge
Nick arrived to his "home" quite late and started packing everything he had since he was going to the academy in just two days, doing the entire activity with a wide smile on his face. "Why do I love her so much? She just gets to me." His ears drooped when something came to his mind. "I won´t be able to see her in four months. I´ll talk to her every day. I can´t let myself grow distant from her. We´ll work through this. And soon I´ll be her partner, so we´ll be together every day. I just have to be patient and focus to make my way throughout the academy and I´ll be valedictorian." Nick nodded to himself and went to bed, mentally preparing himself to what the world had stored for him.
Wednesday
"Wow, seems that the press can´t get enough of me." Nick snickered as he made his way to the police academy and the paparazzi were bombing him with questions and statements. Judy giggled and continued walking with him until they crossed the building´s fence where the cameras and microphones could no longer come through, so the mammals that were chasing the pair left the place.
"Now you are free from all that questioning and camera flashes."
"I could get used to it. Apparently being the first fox to ever enter the academy means big news."
"So it seems Nick. I don´t know why I didn´t get as smoldered as you. I was the first bunny to enter the academy."
"Maybe it´s because I´m a fox Carrots."
"And I´m a bunny, what´s your point Nick?"
"That Zootopia has set a specific stereotype for my kind it amazes everyone that a fox is going to try and be a law enforcer."
"That´s not true Nick. The second part a least."
"Just think about it. No fox has ever tried to do something as openly and legally good for the city and its mammals. We are known for our amazing heists at banks, casinos and billionaire residences. The only fox that has ever made himself a good reputation was Robin Hood and he created that reputation by stealing, although he did good with what he stole, it was still against the law. Foxes haven´t tried to fight the stereotype in such a bold way. Yes we have tried to forge ourselves a better path, but it has never been a path were the law is our ally. Tailors, waiters, assistants and plumbers are the most usual jobs that hire foxes and even then we can be treated differently just for our species. What I´m saying is that a fox trying to make something good for everyone else and all those mammals need to put his trust on him, on me in this case, makes everyone go cray-cray." Nick´s explanation left Judy with her mouth open as she thought about what he just said. Yes, foxes were known for their treacherous acts, their scams and their inability to be trusted. But know that she knew, and loved, a fox all of those stereotypes made no sense to her. Nick was the most honorable, honest and trustworthy mammal she had ever met and it made her mad to think that animals mistreated him for just being a fox.
"You are right Nick, but you are here to prove them wrong."
"Yes I am Carrots." They stopped In front of the big doors that were expecting the fox to go in and change his life. "Well, here it is."
"Yep."
"My opportunity to build a name for myself."
"You´ll do fine Nick."
"Thanks Carrots, I´ll give it my best."
"And your best will be enough." She smiled at him but Nick could only sigh and drop his ears.
"I´ll miss you Carrots. We won´t be able to see each other for a while."
"I know, I´ll miss you too Nick."
"I´ll talk to you every day. I really want to keep contact with you."
"And I´ll wait for you to call me every day."
"Well, here I go." He started opening the door but turned to look at Judy and smiled when she spoke his name.
"Nick?"
"Yes Carrots?" Judy stepped close to the fox and looked into his eyes. She got on the tip of her toes and gave him a kiss on his lips. Judy held the kiss and was about to break it until she felt Nick return the gesture. They stayed in a sweet kiss for several seconds and when they broke it both mammals were smiling at each other lovingly and the fox spoke his mind. "What was that for?"
"So you won´t miss me that much in there. And so you can keep up knowing what is waiting for you right here." She grabbed his paw and kissed the top of it. "Now go in there and kick some tail."
"I will Judy, for us." He gave her a big hug and stepped inside of the building, waving the rabbit goodbye as she was leaving the facility. Judy smiled wider than ever and when she arrive to the Precinct she got into the locker rooms and danced around with exhilarating joy. "We kissed! We kissed, we kissed, we kissed! My very first kiss and it was with Nick! That lovely fox! I love him so much!" Judy stopped her skipping and looked into a mirror. She smiled even more and simply shook her arms and legs. She was feeling happier than ever and it was all because of her love for Nick Wilde.
Savannah Central
"I had such a great night of sleep." The mammal stretched and made bones crack by the movement. Quickly the T.V. was turned on and it showed the Zootopia News Network channel. "Time to see what´s new with this wretched cit…WHAT!?" The mammal stood up spontaneously by hearing and seeing the news.
More news for today as the fox Nicholas Wilde, known for helping Officer Judy Hopps during the solving of the missing mammals case and also for playing a crucial role on Bellwether´s imprisonment, has been seen going to Zootopia´s police academy to begin his concentration. Sources have told us that Wilde has been thinking of joining the police department for nearly three months, days after meeting Officer Hopps. With this new development former mayor Lionheart´s Mammal Inclusion Initiative keeps giving smaller mammals the chance to work were they usually are excluded in. The addition of a fox to the police department could mean that society´s views on the species might change by seeing one of the vulpine kind working for the right side of the law, but it could also make animals start to question the decisions that the ZPD is making. First letting a bunny join the force and now allowing a fox to do the same. This issue will be treated further tonight at our weekly round table. A capybara got stuck in the rails of the Zootopia…
The T.V. was turned off and the mammal started pacing around the room.
"They are letting the fox into the academy? Why? He´s a fox and can´t be trusted! Has the ZPD gone insane!? A fox can´t be a cop! This is just…I can´t…for fu…wait." The mammal stopped and stared with wide eyes at an empty space of the room. "I can use this on my favor. I´ll just let my plans fall back a little bit and I will make this fox regret joining the academy, plus a message will be sent. But a letter of presentation is in order. I´ll do it the same day as that part of the new plan goes forward, but first I need to call Travis and get him to cooperate. And I need the academy´s blueprints. This will take some prep time, but it will work." The mammal smiled widely and poured a glass of water, which got drunk quickly by the hooved mammal.
Zootopia Police Academy
"Listen up cadets, Zootopia has twelve unique ecosystems within its city limits. Tundratown, Sahara Square, Rainforest District to name a few. You are gonna have to master all of them before you hit the streets, or guess what! You´ll be dead!" Nick widened his eyes at the last words from the female polar bear and the first day of his concentration started with a series of proofs that were meant to test the form that the mammals came in with, kind of like proof reading, but with lots of physical activities. Nick failed at the first two tests, which consisted of an imitation of a sandstorm in Sahara Square and the second one being bars that simulated to be branches at the Rainforest District. He managed to climb up the ice wall, but once on top of it he a rhino passed by his side and made him fall into the freezing puddle. After the long day Nick and the other cadets got sent to their bunk beds and the fox used this time to call the bunny he loves so much.
"Hey Carrots."
"Hey Nick, how was your first day?"
"Rough. You did those trials on your first day?"
"Yep, I failed all of them."
"Ha, so did I. Although the ice wall was a rhino´s fault. He bumped me and made me fall."
"Don´t worry Nick. It is rough at the beginning."
"Yeah."
"Well, I have to go now Nick. Work to do tomorrow, as so you do."
"Yeah, you are right. Hey Fluff?"
"Hm?"
"I miss you."
"I miss you too Nick."
"Can´t stop thinking about you."
"Nick, you flirt."
"Hahaha, goodnight Fluff."
"Goodnight Nick." Nick heard the line get cut and prepared himself to sleep and told himself that all of this effort was worth it. That his new life was worth it. But more importantly, SHEis worth it.
Savannah Central
"So Travis, you are in?"
"Yeah, but you´ll have to pay me the missing sum of the other plan."
"Fine, whatever. Just promised you´ll get it done."
"As soon as you get me those blueprints considered it done."
"I´m glad I can always count with you Travis. I´ll get the blueprints as fast as I can. Seeing that it´s a private institution building it will take more time to for me to get them."
"Don´t worry, just get them and I´ll take care of the rest. For my fee of course."
"Right, right. Sheesh. Well, see you soon Travis."
"Bye." The mammal let the weasel pass through the door and then closed it. Going to the kitchen another glass of water got served and consumed by the mammal.
"Time to sit down and write that letter."
2 months later
Nick had finished an exhausting training session and slumped immediately on his bed, but forgot to call Judy. He was getting in a better shape since his training started and he was propelling his way towards the valedictorian recognition. Judy and him talked every day and their bond was getting stronger every passing day, which made his motivation grew higher and higher by knowing that he would become the full time companion of the little bunny. He was sleeping through the night until his cellphone rang, which made the fox wake up. Nick stared at his phone and saw Judy´s name displaying on the screen, but before he could grab the phone he was left astonished when he saw a weasel with a mask on his face and a knife on his paw, which was travelling towards him.
Zootopia Police Department-Precinct 1
Bogo was watching the news with full rage and then immediately turned to his desk were a banana colored envelope was staring at him. He took the envelope and opened it fast and started reading the letter that was contained inside.
"My dear Bogo."
CONTINUES IN CHAPTER 2!
Hey Guys! I know, I know. This came out late. I´m so sorry, but now I understand those who write long stories. It is really tough! Making this sound good without spoiling anything that´s important or even something that is kind of suspicious requires time and proof reading. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed it! If you liked it please tell me and if you think that you have something on what´s going to happen also tell me! Reading your predictions helps me knowing if I´m doing things right! I really, really hope you enjoyed it. I made this a long chapter because it was the first one and I wanted it to be special. Further chapters won´t be this long and if they are, well, enjoy them as well! I liked writing this a lot. It feels good to have a story with a serious plot. I love writing my one-shots, but this is also really special. This week is going to be practically impossible for me to make an update either on Fluffy stories or here at Breaking Point. Finals are coming! Finals are coming! Anyway, here´s that special request that I told you about at the beginning. As you may have noticed during the chapter I referred to the villain as "the mammal" or "the animal", the reason I did this is because I want you guys to choose the gender for the villain! Either a male or a female, you choose! By next Friday the gender that gathers the most votes will be the winner! So you guys will be making my villain unique and the story will have a different meaning depending on the gender! Maybe, who knows? I already know what species the villain is going to be, but please guys, if you are reading this write on the reviews what gender you want the villain to be (male or female). I will thank you all for your support and thanks for reading the first chapter of my story!
Have a nice day everyone
Update: Hey everyone, I´m dropping by quickly to tell a couple of things, mostly yo new readers. For those who are starting to read Breaking Point, I urge you to avoid reading the reviews, or at least just "imjustlikehumphery" ones. I am quite grateful to him for them and his kind words, not to mention the continuous support, but his reviews are basically summaries of what happens in the chapter. So, if you want to keep reading Breaking Point, I recommend you to avoid reading his reviews.
Have a nice day everyone
