Chapter One

-Nicks POV-

"Blueberries" nick thought as his alarm exploded with what sounded like the scream of a thousand banshees.

"I. Need. Blueberries. In coffee. Mixed with sugar, lots of sugar." It was 6:05am by the time he finally arose from his restless sleep, his auburn fur matted and sticky from sweat. It took him another five minutes before he could trust his legs to carry him to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later he walked out of the bathroom, looking like a male model compared to the shell of a fox he was when he walked in.

"Hello handsome" I said to myself with a smirk as I stood in the door frame.

After looking around for no particular reason, I decided to make myself that coffee I so desperately deserve. I turned on the coffee maker, and went to get some blueberries from the fridge to blend.

"No. No no no nonononono!" I yelled as I practically ripped apart my fridge looking for my favorite food source. "no! This cannot be happening!"

"What the hell are you yelling about you deluded fox!" The neighbour next door yelled.

"I'm out of blueberries!" I said, half yelling and half crying.

"... Go back to bed! Or work, or whatever you foxes do in the morning!" The neighbour finished. He could be heard stomping away from the wall.

I sighed and grabbed my ZPD uniform and threw it on as quick as I could, grabbed my blueberryless coffee, and stomped out the door.

"So it's going to be one of those days" I thought to myself as I left the apartment.

-Narrators POV-

He arrived at the ZPD precinct half an hour later. He slowly walked in as Clawhouser gave him his daily welcome, nick just gave a half wave and continued his walk into the bullpen. Judy was already there, of course she was always early. His spirits lifted immediately when he saw her, if only slightly. Her ever joyous mood was always infectious.

"Hey nick! How's it going?"

"Meh. Ok i guess carrots."

"Hey, what's up?" Judy asked, confused by the lack of jump in his step and sly emotion in his voice."

"It's just, I'm, out of blueberries, for my coffee..." He said, a tear forming in his eye.

Judy rolled her eyes. "Come on you big baby, I'll buy you some later"

Nick's face lit up, and his signature grin returned. "Ahh i knew you would carrots! As I always said, moping will get you anywhere. Well, if you can do it right."

"Don't push you're luck you dumb fox" she mock growled. "I might find out that I left my wallet at home"

"Ohh you're such a sly little bunny" he remarked.

"And you're just a dumb fox" she chirped, just as Chief Bogo entered the bullpen.

As per tradition, the chief was greeted by hoots and table banging until he silenced the eagar police officers.

"Alright calm down. I said CALM DOWN! That's better. Now, new week means new cases. Bucky, Pronk, you two are taking the case of the mystery mammal selling catnip in savannah square. Mchorn, Antlerson, since you mammals worked your claws off on the tundra town case last week, you two are in charge of showing the rookies around the town. Finally Nick and Judy, you two will be helping lead a fellow precinct on a drug bust in the rainforest district. You will all be able to pick up your case file from Clawhouser as always. Dismissed"

Around the room there was various high fives and hoots as animals left the room. As Nick and Judy got up to leave Bogo called to them.

"Not yet. I'll be having a word with you to before you leave." He said in his usual monotone voice."

After everyone left Bogo walked over to them, dwarfing them.

"I picked you two because despite what people might think, you are the best officers I have had at my disposal. That however, does not mean you're the best fighters or straightest shooters. I need to know right now, do you two think you're up to the challenge?" A small hint of worry staining his normal monotone voice.

-Judy's POV-

"Sir" I said "It is my duty, like all my fellow officers, to protect and serve this city. Whatever that may mean. If I back away just because I can't do it, what right do I have to wear this badge?"

Bogo nearly smiled. "Good. Go get the information from Clawhouser. And good luck."

As we walked off Nick gave me a smile.

"And I thought I was the smooth talking one..." He remarked.

"Not today foxy." She replied.

Their happy mood was cut down when they saw the worried look on Clawhousers face.

"A-Are you guys really going to do it? I mean, l-lead the raid?" He stuttered.

I sighed "you too? I swear if we haven't already proved we're more than cute little animals with the night howler case, we may as well just quit now." I said, getting slightly annoyed.

"Yeah come on Clawhouser, just because we proved we're better than everyone else here within our first 48 hours." Nick added.

Clawhouser, despite himself, laughed. "Alright, I know you guys can do it, but that won't stop me worrying."

"We know hun, we know" I said as we grabbed the file. "Anyway, we gotta go. Talk later!" She said as we walked out the door.

The day was hot. The sun was out and not a cloud in the sky. We smiled as we made their way to their cruiser.

"So, you ready for this?" Nick asked, in a rather serious manner.

"You know it fox" I smiled as I talked. "Just make sure you keep up"

"As always carrots, as always"

Yes, I did decide to go back and make this a POV story. I felt like I could do a lot more with the characters and their emotions like this. This is my first attempt at a fanfiction, or any type of writing really. I have however, always wanted to get into it. So if anyone has any tips or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
