Hello guys! So I have finished second part already, and now I'm working on third one. I have a lot of exams now, but I think I should be able to upload third one at this Monday. Enough talking. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2: Promotion and... relax time?

It was early in the morning. The Sun was about to rise. Nick was looking through the window in his kitchen, holding the cup of coffee in his hand. Now he was watching the sun's rising in the sky. He was enjoying this view every morning. After eating, as good as coffee, breakfast, Nick took a shower and dressed up. He looked at clock - It was 7 a.m. - that means he's got one hour left. He always starts work at 8 p.m. on Fridays, so Nick decided to sit near the window and enjoy beautiful outlook.

A few minutes later, Nick was ready to leave. He got inside the car, left his property and joined the traffic. There were many commuters on the road, but Nick didn't really care. Now, the fox was heading to Judy's house. He is always happy to see her. This time it was different. Nick had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was afraid of meeting her, but on the other hand he wanted to be around his partner. He wanted to see her smile and her sweet, beautiful eyes. After ten minutes, he reached Judy's house. She was already waiting outside for him.

"Morning Nicky" She said and took a sit in the car.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me like that?"

"Oh c'mon. You know, you like it" Judy said with grin on her face.

"Do I like it? Yes... I do" Nick answered and smiled her back.

Silence fell over after those words. Both of them thought about yesterday's evening. Fox and bunny were delighted by that.

Fifteen minutes later, they reached the department. It was a pretty peaceful morning in ZPD. There weren't many animals in the main hall.

"Good morning you two" Clawhauser welcomed them with a huge smile.

"What's up Clawhauser?" Nick asked him.

"Ahh, nothing special. A usual day" he said with a tinge of boredom in his voice. "By the way - Chief wants to see you in his office"

"Something happened?" Judy asked. She was a little bit surprised.

"Yeah... but I don't know what" Clawhauser said. He didn't want to tell a secret.

"Okay, see you then, Clawhauser" Nick said and went with Judy in Bogo's office direction.

"See you" He asked back. "OMG! They are looking soooo cute together 3" Clawhauser said to himself.

"Good to see you Hopps and Wilde" Bogo said when they entered. "Take a sit, please".

"What's the matter, chief?" Nick asked, wandering why he called them.

"I need to talk to you" - he started - "I'm really impressed with your progress in ZPD. You proved, that you are good detectives. You solved the last case really well. I gave some thought to it and decided to promote you. As of now, you are detectives officially, but it's not everything. I'm sure you deserve some rest. You have a month off from work. Sorry, but I have to go now. You can go home".

"Chief, I don't know what to say!" Judy said with excitement in her voice

"You don't have to say anything. Just go home now. See you two next month".

Both of them were excited. They didn't even think they could achieve so much in such a short period of time. Judy gave an impression of being eager than Nick. However, he wasn't less excited.

"Can you believe it, Nick? We are genuine detectives now!"

"Yeah, that's awesome!"

"Should we leave?"

"Yeah, let's go" he confirmed.

After a while, they were ready to leave the department. Now, our new detectives were heading to the Nick's car. That day, the weather was beautiful. It was sunny and hot. There weren't any clouds in the sky. It seemed to be a pretty good day. In good moods, the duo got in the Nick's car. They were enjoying the beautiful conditions, and the convertible made it all possible. They were talking about today's promotion for entire journey.

"Do you have any plans for this evening?" Nick asked Judy when they reached her house.

"No. Not really"

"You know... Would you like to go to the cinema with me? I've got two tickets for today's movie. I wanted to go with my cousin, but he needs to leave Zootopia tonight" He started blushing a little.

"Would I like it? Of course I would, Nick! That sounds great!" Judy ascertained with smile.

Judy was about to leave, but right before closing the door she asked:

"When does it start? You know I need to prepare myself on time"

"At 8 p.m."

"Okay, so see you Nicky" She said and started giggling.

"See you Carrots"

Judy was very excited about that. She even forgot to ask about the movie's title, but she didn't really care about that. She was too thrilled. The boy she loves invited her to the cinema. Judy can't wait for today's evening. Nick seemed to be extremely exited too. Judy accepted his invitation. He was a little bit afraid of asking her, but now he was glad he did that. There was a lot of time left. They've got eleven hours before movie's screening.

10 hours later

Nick decided to leave house earlier. There was gridlock on Zootopia's streets. He didn't want to be late. He took tickets from the table, grabbed the keys and left his house. Before fox joined the traffic, he texted Judy:

"I'm already on my way, but there's heavy traffic. I'll be in 30 min."

"OK, CU" Judy texted back.

She started preparing herself. She didn't know what to wear. Judy wanted to look really nice for Nick. She decided right before Nick's arrival. Nick was waiting for her, while he could feel his heart beating a little bit faster. He couldn't wait to spend some time with the bunny he loves.

"Hello Nicky" Judy flashed a grin at him when she got in.

"Hey Carrots" Nick answered and smiled her back.

"I forgot to ask you. What's the movie's title?"

"Beauty of Annihilation"

"That sounds interesting. What is the movie about?"

"I don't know, but everyone says it's great"

"Ok. So let's go. I don't want to be late"

Despite heavy traffic, they made it in time. It was five minutes to 8 p.m. They were heading to the screening room. Even though the movie was released a month ago and a lot of animals saw it, the room was full. Judy spotted some free seats at the top. She grabbed the Nick's paw and pointed at them. When they were sitting, the movie was about to start. When the lights turned off, Nick could feel someone grabbing his hand. It was Judy. He looked at her and started blushing a little.

"It's already a wonderful evening" She said and laid down her head on his shoulder. Judy got red on her face too.

The movie has just started. Nick didn't really show that, but he was very, very excited. Judy seemed to be as delighted as he was. She grabbed his hand more tightly and closed her eyes.

"Carrots?" Nick started poking her "Judy wake up"

Judy opened her eyes. She was surprised. She saw animals going to the exit. She just slept through film. Bunny was too relaxed with her head resting on fox's shoulder and his fluffy tail around her.

"Did you sleep entire time?"

"No..." She lied "You know...Your tail is silky... I fell asleep at the end"

"C'mon Carrots. Let's go"

"Mhm" Judy mewed and yawned.

Nick was absolutely ashamed by this situation. But not only he. Judy couldn't believe she actually slept for entire movie. She was red on the face now. Nick noticed that, but he ignored the fact. He didn't want to embarrass her any more.

"Did you enjoy the movie, Carrots?" Nick asked when they were going to Judy's house.

"Yes..." Judy said with uncertainty in her voice

"Didn't you sleep for entire time?" He asked staring in her eyes.

"I didn't" She said that, trying not to disappoint him.

"Hmmm. You are lying"

"What? No, I am not!"

"Yes, you are. Your nose is twitching and you dropped your ears" Nick said and started giggling. At the same moment they arrived at her house.

"Nick... I don't know what to say..." Judy started blushing.

"You don't have to say anything, Judy. That was a wonderful evening for me" He said and gave her a smile.

"For me too, Nick... For me too"

"See you tomorrow, Judy"

"See you, Nick" She said and closed the car's door.

000

Thirty minutes later Judy was lying in her bed. She had already a shower. Bunny couldn't stop thinking about this evening. She felt merrily. Judy actually couldn't believe that. She slept through the movie with her head on his shoulder and his tail around her.

"I can't wait for tomorrow" She said to herself.

The Gazelle's invitation wasn't the only reason she couldn't wait. She wanted to see Nick, feel the warmth of his body and hear his heart beating while hugging him. Her thoughts were interrupted by the phone call. It was her mum.

"Hello sweetie! How are you?"

"Hi mum! Absolutely amazing! Do you remember that fox I told you about?"

"Yes, I do. Did you tell him?"

"Not yet, but he took me to the cinema today!"

"That's awesome sweetheart"

"Anyway, why are you calling to me?"

"Oh yes. As we planned Judy, tomorrow your father will visit you to take you to Bunnyborrow"

"Oh. About that mum... I will arrive later"

"Why?"

"You won't believe! Do you remember about the last case we solved with Nick? Gazelle was very thankful to us, and invited me and Nick to her place tomorrow!"

"That's absolutely amazing honey! Then dad can give you a ride to her house and then he will take you to Bunnyborrow"

"That sounds great! So when is he arriving?"

"At 9 a.m."

"Ok. I will be ready then. Bye mum!"

"Bye sweetie"

Judy almost forgot about that. She agreed to show up in borrow. She decided to text Nick.

"I almost forgot. Tomorrow my dad will take me to Bunnyborrow. He will also give me a ride to Gazelle's house at 9, so u don't have to pick me up tomorrow."

After five minutes he texted back:

"Ok. I will come at 11. You know... I really enjoyed that evening with you. See you at Gazelle's place. Sleep well Carrots"

She felt absolutely great.

"Sleep well, Nicky" She answered.

Now Judy laid her head on the pillow and closed her eyes. She started thinking about Nick's fluffy tail when she covered herself.

"Ahhh... I love that fox"

So yeah. That's it for second chapter. It was little more dynamic than first one, maybe too dynamic. Hope you enjoyed. Like I said - I'm working on next chapter. I should finish in less than seven days. Now, it's all from me. Greetings and see you soon
