"Hey all I'm saying is you always drive, maybe today I should pull my weight," Nick Wilde argued with the smaller rabbit walking next to her.
"Ok I get it but I just want to know if just trying to play a prank on me," Judy Hopps countered.
The towering fox looked at her with a smug smile; "you know, someday I'm going to sprain my neck if I keep looking down at you". Then added "It's not a prank, just enjoy the one day I decide to drive".
Judy looked down and finally sighed "fine, just go get the car while I check out on the system."
Nick hid his smile as he strolled through the officer parking lot. He rubbed his knees that were sore from a hard day of patrolling the streets. "Man she is going to love tonight," he said as he climbed into the car. A few minutes later he wheeled around into the parking lot.
"Took you long enough," Judy shouted over the roaring engine. She hopped over to the passenger's side and slid in throwing off her police uniform and revealing her simple exercise clothes underneath.
Later after they had been driving for a few minutes.
"Hey are you taking a detour" the bunny questioned "this isn't the way we usually go."
"I guess you could call it a detour" the vulpine replied trying to hide his excitement, "Hey do you know what today is?"
"Duh our anniversary, Of course I do"
"Geez ok wow just making some light conversation," Nick said, taking his hands off the wheel in surrender. "I was just wondering what you're doing tonight."
"Oh nothing much, just maybe enjoying your company while watching the basketball game. "
Nick knew was she was talking about her favorite team, the Tundratown Huskies, who were playing their biggest rivals BC Sahara Square. "That sounds kind of boring unless you like basketball?" He said trying to peak her excitement about the game.
Judy rolls her eyes but Nick senses her enthusiasm "You know I love it, I liked the Huskies ever since I moved to Zootopia".
"Ah so you're the kind of person who love sports but is terrible in real life." Mocked Nick fiddling with his gold wedding ring.
"Please, I was the very best basketball player in Bunny Burrow and even the Academy." The smaller bunny retorted while making a proud face. "Any way where are we going, this isn't the way to the apartment."
"Fine you got me, I'm taking you somewhere special for our anniversary." The fox responded barely able to control his excitement
"Nick you know we can't go out to eat, the public hate interspecies marriage." Judy muttered looking longingly at her matching ring.
Nick, not wanting to ruin her mood quickly said, "I never said we were going to dinner, get that present in the back please."
Judy obeying unbuckled and reached for the bag with carrots all over the sides. "Do you mean this?"
"No I mean the other present thing." Nick replied eyes still on the road ahead. As Judy looked back again the vulpine sighed "I was joking Jude's. After two years you'll still a just a dumb bunny"
"Ha ha very funny Nick," the bunny said faking laughter. "So can I open it? I accidently left your present back at the apartment."
"Let me pull over so I can see your expression, but yes go ahead." Nick answered.
Nick stopped the car, his heart beating quickly. He had been waiting weeks for this moment, hours of thinking about what gift to get his mate. He remembered how sad he felt not being able to contact Judy's family to ask about her favorites because of their abnormal marriage. Nick also recalled scouring everything he could from her favorite TV shows to what she wore the most often. The fox thought about how he screamed when he finally found it (luckily Judy was not in the room) and started planning the best night he could.
As the paws of Judy tore open the letter attached to the paper her eyes widened and her ears shot back. "No way! No way, Nick you wouldn't, how did you..." She trailed off as she read the words on the slip of paper. The sheet read: Tundratown vs. Sahara Square. Matchup of the year. March 23rd, 2654. Zootopia stadium section 1 row 3.
"Oh my gosh!" She squealed "where did you get these? They must have a cost a fortune, third row! How"
Nick grabbed Judy's hands and squeezed them "I saw these and knew I had to get them for you. So I talked to a few connections and got the money."
I don't know what to say!" Judy cried, her ears shooting straight up." "I… I love you Nick."
Nick with the biggest smile he had shown in a long time. "I already knew that, but it never hurts to hear it again."
"I feel so bad" Judy suddenly looked down all her excitement vanished. "I didn't get you anything nearly as meaningful."
The gleam in Nicks eye disappeared slightly but popped back up after a few seconds" Well… we have about an hour until the gates open and there is no one around."
"Are you really thinking what you're thinking? Because if so there wasn't many things that could make this day better…"
"I agree" the fox said reaching toward the bunny's mouth with his own." Happy Anniversary."
