Hello everyone! This is Chapter 2! I know this is a very early update, but I found a lot of joy in writing this. I just hope I don't lose any readers by the pace of the upcoming chapters. I have a lot in store for you guys, but I want it to all come together and not so rushed or slow. Please leave feedback in length of this chapter and future chapters, as well as ratings and criticism (or love )


THUMP…THUMP…THUMP….

"Judy?.." Nick didn't see it fast enough. He was not fast enough. His abilities, nor his emotions were fast enough to comprehend what had happened. He felt sticky. He felt as if the sky had crumpled on top of him, as if time itself gave up on him. His body no longer his own.

It was his fault. He was her partner. She laid there mockingly until paramedics finally covered her up with a white sheet. A sheet so white that its fabric may recycle to be a wedding dress someday after its scrubbed away its sins. A marriage unites two people together. Judy's 'wedding dress' tore them apart.

THUMP…THUMP…THUMP…THUMP…...

His heartbeat thundered in his ears as his only view was the white sheet that soiled itself with his partner's blood and dirt from the ground. Chief Bogo laid a paw on his shoulder for comfort and for a break. Nick had been standing there since he arrived not moving until he felt the right to do so.

THUMP…. THUMP…

His face grew sour at the thought of who had done this. Who could of possibly hurt his partner? His bunny?

THUMP…...THUMP….

His body grew stiff, stuffing his hands inside his officer pants as he watched the investigators take pictures for evidence. His body shook with a new sense of emotion. Judy came into his thoughts, her voice. Her sorrow. Her pain. These thoughts were enough to make him go savage, but he couldn't for his heart ached. It took all his will power to turn his body away from the white sheet and towards Chief Bogo's vehicle.


His mind drifted into the thoughts of Judy and before he knew it he and Chief were at the station. It was a murder case after all. Clawhauser was the first person he saw walking into the station. Clawhauser was the one to tell them of Judy's location. Nick could tell that worry gripped Clawhauser's gentle heart. It was only right to tell him the truth of Judy, rather than sugar coat it. Although, that seemed harder. When reaching to the front of Clawhauser's desk, it took time to blurt out Judy's death from his gritted teeth. As if he was hiding his heart from the reality of his partner's situation. It felt too real blurting it out, it also felt too harsh.

Chief Bogo has seen many deaths from his fellow officers, but this time …..this time it hurt too much. It was better not to speak.

Nick's grip on reality caused him to break down, "Oh, Judy.." Nick told the air as Chief Bogo escorted him to his office.

Chief Bogo sat Nick down to discuss possible suspects, as well as Nick's alibi. Although, Chief Bogo's voice only became a buzzing as Nick zoned out into his own world, his own thoughts to where Judy was alive and well.

It was Christmas day, Judy had been laying under a mountain of blankets and pillows while Nick secretly began sneaking Christmas gifts underneath the tree. They had both been putting a lot of hours at work in order to get Christmas day off. It had been a miracle in the making. Of course, Judy would take anyone's shift in order for the other person to spend time with their families. Although, Nick was not having it. The sly fox basically blocked Bogo's office and personal number from both their phones. Nick's new apartment had been warm unlike Judy's one room shack of an apartment. Nick insisted she get a new one but she wasn't one to spend money if not needed, so the only other option was to bring Judy here so she wouldn't freeze to death during the night. The day before, Judy had brought over gifts for Nick as well as Clawhauser, Chief Bogo and basically everyone at the police department. Nick had repeatedly told Judy that he was not going to buy every single mammal in that station a gift. Of course, she said the thought is what counted, but he insisted not too. The only person receiving a gift from this sly fox was Judy herself …and his mother. However, when imagining showing up to work the next day with no gifts in hand and a very sad Clawhauser he decided that it was the thought that did count, but he did have yet to tell Judy. When his preparations were finished, he brought himself to the mountain of comfort and yanked off the blankets, pillows, quilts and stuff animals off Judy's small form. (The stuff animals are Nicks. ;D)

"Come on, carrots! ITS CHRISTMAS," Nick yelled, as he jumped onto the bed causing Judy to fly up a few inches due to his sudden weight.

"I'm up!" she yelled out frantically trying to hide her wide smile as he continued to jump up and down on the bed causing her body to do the same.

They both continued laughing until their stomachs hurt and tears were dried out. After nearly dying from laughter the two brought themselves in front of the Christmas tree. Judy wrapped her body around an oversized blanket while Nick was cozy in his bunny pajamas. They both sipped hot chocolate before finally deciding to open up presents.

"I believe you should open up my gift first!" Nick voiced as he grabbed a well wrapped present from the pile. Of course, the company of the gift wrapped it for him but he couldn't tell her that.

As Judy grabbed a hold of the gift she wasn't even aware he got her anything due to his constant non interest in Christmas. She was the one who even set up his tree in his apartment after all, as well as the decorations. She smiled warmly while viewing the beautiful wrapped box. The design of the wrapping paper was turquoise with gold ribbons crisscrossed into a beautiful bow.

"Nick, you didn't have to get me anything" she spoke hiding back a mischievous grin as he turned his head away from her face with a concealed blush.

"I'd do anything for you, carrots" he spoke under his breathe, "Just open it!" he rushed her as she begun laughing while untying the bow and ripping off the wrapping paper.

It was like time stopped, but in the good way. Judy looked down at a diamond necklace who's only purpose to be beautiful against a special someone. Judy was Nick's special someone. Nick's face continued to be concealed away from her, her silence was agony to him as he waited for her response.

"Its okay if you don-"

"I love it, Nick" Judy interrupted him as she pulled necklace from its confines and began locking it around her neck. She held the small oval shaped diamond in her palm as she continued looking over its beauty.

Judy's eyes glossed over as she continued staring at the perfect gift. Nick watched her reaction and tried to choose his next words carefully.

"Judy…. will you be my girlfriend?" he spoke just above a whisper, afraid of her reaction as well as her answer.

Judy whipped her head up quickly as she looked over Nick's frightened expression. His ears were seeking comfort to the side of his head as he waited for her words. He regretted ever asking.

Judy's ears also sagged against her while she watched his face expression grow from worry. She noticed him regretting his words to her by watching the way his eyes moved away from her form and to the floor.

"Nick…...I…"

"Officer Wilde, SNAP OUT OF IT" Chief Bogo roared as he slammed his large paws over his desk to get Nick's attention. The sudden yell and loud bang pulled Nick from his thoughts and to the reality in front of him.

Nick averted his eyes from Bogos as he continued speaking about the new partner arrangements due to their predicament.

"Judy is my only partner, sir" Nick let out coldly not caring for his superior's reaction.

"Wilde, there is no time for this. There is a killer on the loose." Chief Bogo spoke with authority as his face crushed up into anger as the auburn fox removed himself from his seat and began walking out the door.

"I don't need a new partner. I'll do this myself." Nick didn't wait for Bogo's response as he slammed the door behind him.

The station's atmosphere felt icy and almost awkward. He was sure everyone had already heard the news and anyone who was brave enough would sneak glances at him while he walked across the marble floor. He put on his sunglasses hiding away the sadness of his eyes while the rest of his face frowned into its usual position.

Clawhauser wasn't at his usual station, which caused Nick to regret his harsh words earlier. If someone were to tell him of Judy in such a blunt way, then he'd most likely disappear for a while too. Although, seeing Judy dead did just that. It was a hit in the face.


Judy found herself in the meadow again with the night sky still above her as well as the bright glow of sunlight. It was like the moon and sun couldn't be without each other, so they lived side by side. She couldn't remember how she died or what her last thoughts may have been.

"Maybe they were of Nick…" she spoke softly to herself. She always thought of Nick, before she slept, while she slept, when she awoke, while she ate and perhaps while she died.

These thoughts were only depressing her though. She began walking through the meadow, flowers at her feet crushing and reviving. She gazed her eyes around her surroundings, noticing an ocean by the right of her.

"Was that ocean always there?.." she thought while glancing at what seemed like a building was slowly floating to the shore as it was pushed by the waves.

It was her apartment building. It rocked against the powerful waves as it finally settled against the sand of the beach. The building looked enormously too tall as the roof hid in the clouds. The door had slowly opened revealing only darkness inside.

"Judy." Sounded Nick's gentle voice from inside the opened door.

"Nick?.." Her eyes opened as big as saucers as she hesitantly stepped forward towards the building.


Just to let everyone know this is not a typical "Judy is dead" type of fanfiction. There is going to be a lot going on and I hope to have all my readers along the way. I was deciding whether to switch to first person, but I wasn't exactly sure. Let me know your thoughts!
