Hey everyone. I have a lot of time on my hands this holidays so I'll be posting chapters every day or two. The only problem is that I don't have any internet at my dad's place so I'm running off GB until I go back to my mum's. I'm not made of money so I can't keep stocking up on GB and most of that GB goes towards my studies for school. But don't worry, I'll try and post as much as I can. Also thanks to the guys and girls that are supporting me, it is appreciated so much. All those people that didn't like the last chapter PLEASE tell me what I could work on and what you would like to see, at the end of the day all I want to do is make your time worthwhile. Also if you had any unsatisfied thoughts on my last chapter please tell me and if I haven't done what you've asked please rephrase what you meant. Anyways guys I would like to direct your eyes to the not so bold part of my story and wish you to have a great day or night. Cheers.
"Just get here Nick," Judy snapped, hanging up as she said her last words. Judy pocketed her phone and put her head in her hands.
"Nick why can't you be more organised?" She sighed.
Judy looked at her watch, the bright, purple digits showed 6:58am - two minutes until she had to meet Chief Bogo in his office. Judy had been sitting for a while now in the lobby of Bogo's office and was getting ready to enter. Judy was so busy thinking about how Bogo was going to tear through Nick like a piece of meat (and how she would probably end up doing whatever punishment Nick was sentenced to) that she didn't hear her phone ringing and only snapped back to the present when it went into voice mail.
Judy fished her phone from her pocket and looked at the screen and read: 'Missed call from Amanda Woolford from Bunny Burrows Hospital. Received at 6:59am, Saturday. Would you like to return call?'
Judy thought about calling back, but with only 30 seconds until she had to meet Chief Bogo, she decided to ring Amanda after she had talked with him. Judy was about to knock on Bogo's office door when her phone started beeping again.
Judy put the phone to her ear and sighed, "Hello, Officer Judy Hopps from Zootopia Police Department. How may I help you?"
The voice on the phone hesitated before replying sadly. "Hello Miss Hopps, Amanda here from Bunny Burrows Hospital um… You know how your father has been suffering from pains in his chest and arms, right? Has he told you that?"
Judy stopped dead on the spot. She did not like the sound of where this was going.
"Yeah he has told me that… Why are you calling me about this?" Judy asked, hoping that she was being a dumb bunny.
Amanda crushed her hopes entirely with her next couple of sentences.
"Okay, um… We regret to inform you that Stewart James Hopps has had a heart attack at 4:15am this morning. He did not recover despite all the doctors' efforts. He passed away at 5:27am. We're sorry for your loss," Amanda said bluntly, finishing her little speech.
Judy stood stock still, trying to comprehend what the ewe had just said.
Her father Stewart James Hopps, the kind and loving rabbit that looked after all 200 of his kits equally since the day they were born. The same rabbit that picked Judy up when she was down, the same rabbit that taught her manners and responsibilities: her father, Stewart James Hopps, was gone. Forever.
"Miss Hopps? Miss Hopps?" Amanda Woolford chirped, jolting Judy back into her harsh, hard life.
"Oh, thanks for telling me," Judy managed to sob sarcastically. She hanged up, not wanting to hear anymore of her bullshit and sat down. Judy put her head in her hands and cried, hoping this horrible dream would end soon.

Nick was running at top speed to Bogo's office. He knew Bogo would be furious at him for arriving late, but if someone saw him walking when he was late to see Chief Bogo, he would be so deep in shit that no amount of shampoo would ever rinse the smell out.
Nick sprinted through the doors of the ZPD, running past Benjamin Clauwhouser, ignoring his over-enthusiastic hellos and running up the stairs towards Bogo's office, nearly tripping up as he reached the top of the stairs.
But as Nick turned the corner to Bogo's office lobby, he saw a sobbing, sniffling, pitiful mess of a bunny outside.
He slowed to a walk and tried to identify the crying bunny. Ever since Judy had become a ZPD officer, there had been a lot more small mammals (including rabbits) that had made it into the ZPD.
Nick realised that it was Judy and hesitantly sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close.
"Judy," Nick whispered, using Judy's real name because she was crying, trying to reassure her. "What's wrong, huh?"
Judy sniffed and looked up into Nick's kind and reassuring emerald eyes, intent on soothing her and only her. She looked into his eyes and saw love and care, the kind that you only get from someone that knows and loves you. She looked into Nick's eyes and saw a friend that would care for her, comfort her… Die for her.
It was at this moment that everything dawned on Judy. The way Nick looked at her with love and compassion. The way he would comfort and care for her. The way he would do absolutely anything to make her smile, even if it involved losing a little bit of his dignity. Judy couldn't believe it took her father's death for her to realise that Nick truly and always had loved her, with all his heart.
She looked deep into Nick's lovely emerald eyes and smiled a sad smile. She tugged on his uniform tie, forcing him to become eye level with her and whispered into Nick's ears, "That doesn't matter now that you're here," and, before her mind could scream no, kissed him full and hard.
To her joy Nick kissed back with stored away love and affection. Judy didn't know how long they sat there, but for the whole time she felt like she was in heaven, and she never wanted to stop.
Yeah so that's chapter two… Did you guys like it? Please comment down below and maycontestdrew has asked me if I wanted her to do the editing. Huge thanks to her and all of you that are supporting me. Again thanks to maycontestdrew I really appreciate it and… Yeah. Cheers guys.
