Authors Note: I am not sure where this came from, but the idea struck me as humorous and I had to write something short about it.
Nick sighed, they were finally over, they had finished filming the last teaser and he could finally relax. Well, first he had to go and harass his costar.
Ever since he had first stepped onto the set of Zoopotia and followed in his family's footsteps he had found himself quite smitten with her. She didn't have the pedigree, he enjoyed, but she still beat him for the spot as the main character. He didn't mind, money and fame were not a big deal to him, he already had both.
He found Judy- yes, they used their real names, a loophole that they could do in this sort of film- standing by the concession stand nibbling on a piece of lettuce.
"Hey, I didn't actually hurt you when I tripped you, did I?"
Judy turned to face the fox lettuce still in her hand. He hadn't left her alone the whole time they filmed, flirting with her constantly. She didn't necessarily mind, to be honest, she was a nobody being hit on by a member of the Fox family, she just felt as if was expecting something easy because of who he was. He wouldn't be getting anything from her, she didn't care how rich, and famous, and well known, and handsome, charming…
"No, I'm fine, really," she said shaking her head.
"Great, because you know, you made a really loud thud when you hit the ground. I was a little worried," Nick said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. He reached over for a strawberry, plucking it from the tray he bit into the fruit carefully.
"You never gave me an answer you know," he said, wiping the juice from his snout.
"About what," Judy knew exactly what he was talking about, but it was nice seeing this big shot squirm.
"Well, whether you wanted to go out or not," Nick said with a grin that masked his nervousness. He had been on many dates and asked this question to many women, but for some reason, this felt different. Now he was scared, legitimately terrified of rejection and he waited for her response trying to keep from panting.
Judy shrugged and turned to walk away, Nick's heart sank, why did he feel this way. It didn't make sense, he could get a date from anyone, anytime, all he had to do was asked any girl on the street. But for some reason he wasn't sure of, he didn't want anyone else, he was after her. His cute costar from his first big film, a rabbit. He didn't care if Marilyn Monroe came back to give him one night of unbridled passion, he didn't want that. He wanted Judy, he wanted her all to himself.
"I'll call you tonight Nick, with the name of the place."
"So that's a yes?"
"Yeah Fox, that's a yes."
