"Wise mammals say only fools rush in. But I can't help, falling in love with you." The voice of Nick Wilde rung throughout the apartment as he showered. Nick didn't usually sing in the shower, but tonight he was feeling so giddy that he couldn't help himself. Tonight was the night that he would spend on a date with his favorite bunny, Judy Hopps. It may seem odd that a fox would feel that way about a bunny but Nick and Judy were a special duo. They were partners at the police station they worked at and best friends everywhere they went. All because Judy helped Nick get over his pawpsicle hustling ways and reform.

Nick lathered his fur until there were suds covering his entire body from head to toe. "Hmm. I really do look like a fox in sheep's clothing," he thought. At his funny appearance he let out a chuckle. Then he used the showerhead to rinse them all off. "Yep. I'm a fox again." After he made sure that every bit of the soap was washed out, he stepped out and dried himself. After that he attacked his fur with a brush. Nick winced at the amount of tangles it had. After it was all sone with, he felt like ninety percent of his fur had been pulled out.

Next, Nick walked into his room to find some nice clothes to put on for one of the biggest nights of his life. He opened one of the drawers of his dresser with his ears sticking up a bit more due to the joy he was feeling. They quickly dropped once they saw that there was nothing that he deemed fit enough to wear when he went out with Judy. "Dang. Nick, you really should've invested in some nice, formal wear." He then went to look at the selection in his closet. To his dismay, it wasn't much better than his other options. He growled in frustration and dug through the line of clothing.

Finally, he managed to find a nice outfit that he hoped would suffice. "Where did this come from? Oh, yeah. I remember that I got it for that pawpsicle hustle I did over at the 'Palm Tree Hote1. I wonder if it still fits." Nick put his legs into the sleeves of the pants and, to his surprise, they fit. Once he did that, he put on the white undershirt, the tie, and the jacket. He risked a glance at himself in the mirror. Nick was very pleased at the fact that the suit actually fit him still. After all, he had been fifteen when he bought it. He put on his most winning smile. He smirked. Nick was very pleased with himself. "Nick, old boy, you're going to rock this."

He took off the jacket and the shirt so he could go and brush his teeth without the fear of accidentally making a mess on his nicest top. Once he got into the bathroom, he made sure to brush extra well. Then he got out the mouthwash. He didn't bother reading the directions for use but he did read the benefits that the company advertised on the front. "Tartar resistance, better breath, fights gum disease- sounds perfect. I guess I'll just use the whole bottle." So he used the entire bottle of mouthwash.

A few minutes later when Nick came out, his mouth felt cleaner than he ever envisioned possible. He glanced at the time on his alarm clock. His eyes widened. "It's six twenty-five! We leave at six thirty. I got to hurry!" Nick quickly threw on the undershirt, tie, and jacket for the second time and grabbed the bouquet of roses that he bought at the flower shop down the street. He looked at himself one last time in the mirror. "Yep. Perfect."

Nick rushed out his bedroom door and down the hall of his apartment, coming to an abrupt halt in front of a certain door. Nick straightened his tie, pushed back the fur on his head, and took a deep breath. "Okay. I got this. No need to be even slightly nervous." Nick put on a beautiful smile and gently knocked at the door.

"Miss Hopps, are you home and ready for our date?" Nick asked formally. He then heard the musical laugh of Judy.

"Of course I am, Mr. Wilde. My home is your home, remember, silly? We moved in together a month or two ago." Nick laughed.

"Just trying to keep up the formal act, Carrots. From the way you answered, I guess that you really don't care about that?"

"Really? How in the world did you guess?" Judy said as she opened her door. Nick's jaw dropped at the sight. If this was the girl he was going out with, he'd better go back and change his clothes again.

Hello, everyone! I tried to hurry up and get this chapter put up so you wouldn't be stuck reading the boring old prologue. XD I hope you all have enjoyed it so far. The next chapter will be Judy's account on getting ready for her date. Read and review! Until the next chapter!
