Nick Wylde put his feet up on the dashboard of their police hummer. Sitting next to him in the driver's seat was Judy Hopps, visibly bored out of her mind but trying her best to be alert.

"Can't chief Bogo assign us a better job?" Nick asked.

Look at him, been in the force for a week and already complaining, Judy thought, smiling.

"I know exactly how you feel, but he can't assign us higher rank missions until you have some experience." She said. Nick put his hands behind his head and stared at Judy. The sun perfectly illuminated her cute button nose and her perked up ears. She looks beautiful, he thought. Wait. What happened to cute? He asked himself. Nick no longer called her "cute". To him, she was the most beautiful bunny in the world. Cute no longer described her justly, and although the Nick didn't realize it, he felt it with all his heart. He was jarred from his thoughts by a car rushing past them.

"Finally," he grinned. He flipped on the siren as Judy accelerated. The car pulled over on the roadside. Nick gave a low whistle.

"Nice wheels, what a beaut!" he said. Judy ignored him and got out. Nick followed her.

"Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?" She recited in her usual tough voice. Nick couldn't help but grin at her act. For a small bunny to try to intimidate someone twice her size was an act that never fails to look cute. He wrote up the ticket while Judy gave the driver the usual talk. He glanced over at the driver. It was a buffalo. "Heh heh," He chuckled.

Another several hours passed without anything interesting happening.

Finally, their shift ended. Night had begun falling over Zootopia.

"I'll take the wheel, carrots." He said.

"Thank you, Nick, and don't call me carrots!"

He began driving back to their apartment. It was technically Judy's apartment, but she had invited him to stay with her. She had called it "aiding a team member", but Nick knew she was just trying to get closer to him. "Look at that, carrots, it's a full moon." Nick said, pointing. Judy smiled. "So it is,"

Judy unlocked the door to the apartment and plopped on the bed. Nick laid down on his usual spot on the floor.

"You know, Nick... You can always sleep on the bed of you want." Judy said.

He stared at her. "You mean like... Next to you?"

"Yeah, why not?" She smiled. Nick smiled his always charming smile back at her and crawled into the bed. He fell asleep soon with his arm over Judy's waist. It was the best sleep he had had in ages.
