A/N: You can probably tell what I got inspiration from for this story.

Reading About Yourself


Judy and Nick have become famous and have worked at the ZPD for a year now. Their fame has garnered attention and gossip.

Another day at work, scheduled to do paperwork. Nick doesn't like paperwork. It's nice that it's done electronically now. Nick spends most of the paperwork time doing other things and never finishes his share on time. Usually, Judy has to take and finish it for him like in the past.

Nick is reading on the computer about stories that other people wrote about him. It peaks his interest because he it's fun to imagine what other animals thought of him. It gives him ideas. Unfortunately, today was not so kind.

Judy happens to sneak up on Nick. Nick is caught red-handed. Judy asks, "What are you doing?"

Nick replies, "Nothing, nothing at all. Absolutely nothing. There's nothing to see here." Nick uses his feet shut down the computer. "Oh, the computer just shut down."

Judy gives Nick a disbelieving look, "Oh, really? You certainly wouldn't mind if I used your computer instead, would you?"

"But then, how would I do the paperwork? It has to be done you know."

"I know it all too well, I usually end up doing your share. You never finish on time."

"That is why, I need the computer right now."

"You can use mine instead."

Nick can't think of a counter argument and accepts Judy's deal. They switch computers. Nick proceeds to actually do paperwork this time. The day ends without incident.

Judy and Nick part ways and each head home. Nick has managed to conceal the fact that he lives under a bridge from Judy.

Nick heads off to work tomorrow thinking that yesterday's incident is all but forgotten and everything will proceed like usual. Bogo gives out assignments. Judy and Nick are on the computers again filing on missed paperwork.

Judy confronts Nick, "You have a fairly… how do I put it… fascinating browser history. Would you care to explain?"

Nick replies, "Look, I read them because it gives me ideas on our cases you know? You never know when this stuff would be useful. They think of many hustles I didn't even think about or consider."

"Oh really? Is that why most of your I guess, research is in form of stories of us two being together and romantically involved?"

"That's just the most popular one. It's not my fault that's what most people think of us."

"Care to explain why you've left distasteful comments on stories featuring me and someone imaginary called Jack Savage then?"

"They were poorly written, that's all."

Judy is exasperated. "Do I need to read to you the specific reviews you've left?"

"Uh, that won't be necessary. Oh, look we still have paperwork to do. Can we get on with it?"

"Fine, just so you know I have a date today."

Nick tries not to react, "With who?"

"My parents have finally convinced me to go on a date with a bunny from Bunnyburrow. He's going to be visiting me today."

"How come I've never heard about this until now?"

"Because it's a fairly recent development. I never thought I would give in to my parent's wishes. I try not to think about it."

The day went on, filing paperwork for their previous cases each of them brought back memories for Nick. Memories of him and Judy together and the trials they've faced. The day has finally ended.

Judy says, "Alright, see you tomorrow. I have a date."

Nick realizes he couldn't take that chance, "Carrots, can I possibly change your mind? I love you." It's going against tradition for foxes normally, the female takes lead.

Judy is overjoyed. "I never had a date, I just wanted you to admit it. Why didn't you say anything? We've worked together for a year and I never knew you felt anything towards me until yesterday."

"For us foxes normally the vixen takes the first move."

"For us rabbits, normally the buck takes the first move."

"So, what happens now?"

"How about a date?"

Despite the fantasizes from everyone surrounding them. This is a first for them. Both of them are uncertain of what is to come but they agree to give it a chance.
