Hi everyone! I'll be changing up the way write this fanfic. 1. I'll be changing the perspective to third-person. 2. I'll change the way I write dialogue, "New speaker, new paragraph." 3. I'll use less exclamation points. 4. The scenes will be longer, and I'll give more description. Chapter summary: Nick has a whole day of failure at the Police Academy, and Judy pays him a visit. Hope you enjoy!
Nick felt himself buried in sand. He couldn't breathe in the heavy pile of crushed pebbles. He couldn't get out of the pile, but fortunately, the drill sergeant had dug him out of the pile. He felt his cheeks burn up with embarrassment, he wasn't strong enough to lift up a pile of sand. "You're dead!" The angry polar bear yelled. The next trial was climbing an ice wall. He ran up to the wall with positive and encouraging thoughts. He frantically scratched the wall to get a grip on the ice. Eventually, his paws slipped and he fell into the icy cold water. The skin under his fur turned completely pale. "You're dead!" The drill sergeant said. The next trial was trying to get across a huge gap by swinging on strong ropes, resembling branches. To make it even worse, it was raining. Nick was doing quite well, when his claw got stuck in one of the ropes. He reached for the next one, but his claw held him back. He tried to grab the rope with his other paw, but he was slipping.
"No no no no no! Don't slip!" The rain made it harder to keep his grip. 3 seconds later, he slipped and fell. The whole front of his body was covered in mud. He was used to the two words that followed.
"You're dead!" Nick's ears folded back. Nick was then in a boxing arena with a rhino. Nick was defeated after he took one hard punch to this face. He felt a bit of blood come out of his mouth, his tooth was knocked out. "You're dead!" Nick rolled his eyes. Nick slammed the door of his room.
"Urghh..." He groaned. He slammed his face in his pillow. He noticed the stuffed animals on his nightstand. Judy had given them to him earlier for inspiration. One was a bunny, the other was fox. Both were waering stickers with the words, "JUNIOR ZPD OFFICER" on it. He stopped groaning and got out of his bed to hold them. He rubbed his paw against them, and just stared. It was almost as if he thought they were in a staring contest with him. He set them back down on the nightstand, and noticed what was right next to them. It was a framed picture of him and Judy of his first time at the Burrows. He stared it the picture, thinking of Judy. Just then, his phone vibrated on his bed. He picked it up to see a text from Judy, "Meet me at the park across near the Burrows." it said. The rain had cleared, revealing the bright light of the moon. Nick got in his car, trying to keep himself awake by drinking soda. He drove by a sign, the, "Welcome to BunnyBurrow" sign. The population was growing as each second passed by. He parked his car in the parking lot. He opened the door and felt a cold breeze blow through his thick fur. "Carrots, what are you doing here?" The bunny was hopping towards him.
"Just wanted to know how you're doing." Nick smirked.
"C'mon, there's gotta be more than that." Judy's cheeks were as red as roses.
"Oh fine, I missed you." The fox smiled as she admitted she missed him.
"Wish I felt the same." He joked.
"Oh, I hate you Nick." She playfully punched his arm. They loved to joke around like that. Nick grabbed the tiny stuffed animals that Judy gave him. He brought them, just in case she wanted them back. She noticed them, and was reminded of something she wanted to say. "How's the Police Academy?" She asked. Nick's ears folded backwards. "That bad?" She noticed his ears go back.
"Well, let's just say I'm not the Drill Sergeant's favorite student." Judy's ears were droopy. Her ears went straight up again and she gave Nick, "A look." Nick knew this look, she had an idea. Next thing you know, Nick was doing sit-ups from a tree branch, with Judy as his coach. He was doing push-ups, jogging around the park, and other excercises. After working out for a couple of hours, Nick was ready for the next day.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Stay tuned for chapter 4 of, "Nicholas P. Wilde: ZPD Officer in training"
