Nick hadn't known a house could be so large and still be just one house. It was bigger than his old apartment complex, and many times more comfortable looking.
"There it is," Judy grinned as they neared. "Home sweet home."
"It's enormous."
"Well of course it is."
"Well yeah, but…" He didn't have time to gather his thoughts and finish the sentence before a pair of ears shot up from a spot in the nearby carrot tops, followed by a young rabbit with a red bandana wrapped around his head and dark stripes on his cheeks.
"They're here!" he shouted into a small walkie-talkie as he bolted towards the house.
"Is that, normal?" Nick asked hesitantly.
Judy smirked. "For anyone besides Paul, probably not. Anyway, there goes the element of surprise."
"I'll say." Replied Nick unenthusiastically.
Nick was no stranger to crowds, but the one that greeted them on the long Hopps driveway made him more than a little uncomfortable. The fact that he was at least a head taller than anyone present made him feel like a half-pulled carrot, and that every single last one of them was a rabbit was no help either.
The number of times Nick had been nervous during his adult life could be counted on just one paw, but as Mr. and Mrs. Hopps lead the sea of rabbits towards him, he became convinced that all present could hear his heart thumping. His personality kicked in though, and he managed to convince himself otherwise was nothing is not collected as he met Judy's parents for the first time.
"So you're the completely trustworthy, totally decent, and over-all very kind Nick Wilde that we've heard so much about, aren't ya?" announced Stu as he stretched a paw towards him.
Nick glanced at Judy, who looked away and then shook the offered paw firmly. "That I am, Mr. Hopps. That I am."
"Stu will do just fine."
"Alright then, Stu."
Stu chuckled. "Let's get you two inside and get you ready to party!"
