Hey guys so here's chapter four I hope you like it I've been pretty excited to write this one.
"It's ok Judy we don't have to go over and visit if you don't want to. How about we go somewhere to take your mind off of it?" Nick said with sympathy in his voice.
"Yah sure it sounds better than just staying home." Judy replied.
"How about we go to the mall? I hear they just opened up a new jewelry store, it could be fun."
Nick stated cheerfully.
"Alright, sounds good when do you want to leave?"
"We can leave now and get lunch when we come back from the mall." Nick said enthusiastically.
"Ok, let's go" Judy replied Hoping to be cheered up.
After Nick and Judy had left Nick's house and began their journey towards their destination Nick decided to strike up a conversation.
"So Judy do you have any plans for the rest of the vacation?"
The bunny thought for a second and decided to say what was on her mind. "Well I was thinking that maybe we could try visiting your parents instead, I'm sure they are a lot more understanding than mine and I don't think I've ever met them before. So I think the sooner I meet them the better right?" Judy asked questioningly.
At that moment Nick felt as if he got hit by a wall, a very emotional wall.
As they pulled into the parking lot of the mall Nick began to explain
"Judy... my parents passed away five years ago in a car accident."
After hearing this Judy mentally kicked herself due to the new found guilt that flooded her mind.
"What was I thinking?! It was so obvious I mean he never talks about them, every time I bring them up he changes the subject, and they weren't at Nick's graduation from the police academy." Judy thought to herself. While Judy was staring at Nick lost in thought for seemed to be forever The red fox decided to steer the conversation elsewhere before it got too emotional and deep for his liking.
"It's not that big of a deal carrots, it happens to us all eventually no need to be sorry about it." Nick stated flatly but with a sliver of sadness that leaked through. Judy could tell that Nick was still pledged by the death of his mother.
"Nick you know you don't have to put up your emotional walls with me right?" Judy asked almost hurt that Nick still wouldn't open up to her all of the way.
"I know carrots, but how about we talk about this later I don't wanna crush the mood for the rest of the day and besides we're here." Nick replied as the pulled into one of the parking spaces that the mall offered.
"Hey Nick, I think I'm going to look at the women's clothing section for a bit alright." Judy said as they walked into the multi story store containing almost every shop name in Zootopia.
"Ok sure, sounds like a plan I'll go look at ties or something."
"Ok bye Nick."
As Judy left to go shop for clothes Nick decided that now would be the perfect time to go and look for a special ring that would further evolve their relationship. As Nick walked over to a nearby jewelry stand the owner spoke. "Hello Sir. How might I help you?" Nick was greeted by a wolf at the jewelry stand."
"Hello, I'm here looking for a wedding ring do you have any?" Nick asked with hope.
"Oh course, what kind did you have in mind."
"Do you have any bunny sized rings with carrots on them?"
"Yah we have a few, we have this one where the ring itself is made of titanium with light gray diamonds embedded in it. With a silver carrot held on top." The store owner showed Nick as he described it.
Nick saw this and felt unsatisfied with the lack of color and decided to try his luck one more time."Do you have anything that's maybe reddish orange and gray?" "Oh, we do have this one that is also made of titanium but is stained a nice amber color. Also it has a orange carrot with silver highlights and the amber also has a nice light gray tint to it."
"This is perfect how much is it?" Nick questioned fearful for his wallet
"Including taxes it will be three thousand zoomals." The store owner said fearful for his business."
While Nick thought about how he was going to afford this ring while also being able to keep food on the table for the next week, he figured that if it was the best ring he could ask for then no price was too big.
"Deal." Nick said determined to get the perfect ring.
After Nick had bought the ring he hid it in his back pocket and decided to either wait to propose or make the perfect opportunity. As he started making his way towards the shop he saw Judy headed to he found her looking for him.
"Oh, hey Judy you get your shopping done?" Nick asked seeing the pink and black had she was carrying.
"Yup and I think I'm starting to feel better already, wanna walk around for a little bit?" "Yah sure." Nick replied happily. He and Judy began to walk around the mall taking and having fun until something caught Nick's eye.
"So beautiful." Nick muttered quietly but not so quietly that Judy was unable to hear.
"What was that Nick?" Judy asked trying following Nick's gaze.
The fox however was too lost to hear Judy and continued to stare at what seemed to be nothing until Judy saw what she thought Nick had to be looking at. There was a beautiful vixen with a long bushy tail and had facial features that could make any female regardless of species jealous. And as she walked she was slightly swaying her hips in such a way they could put males in a trance from a mile away. Judy stared at the vixen and then at Nick, as emotions began to build up inside her Nick started moving then running, nearly sprinting straight ahead where Judy had spotted that vixen.
"So beautiful, so amazing." Nick muttered one more time before arriving at his new destination forgetting about Judy and leaving her behind.
Alright peoples there's the end of chapter four and there are so many questions to be answered like will Nick propose to Judy? Will Nick leave Judy for that other Judy buy any sexy clothes to show off to Nick later? All of this will be revealed in the next chapter of THREE WEEKS. Also thank you to all that have read my little story so far. Also I do apologize if I need to work on describing things better such as the rings. If you couldn't picture what I was trying to write just imagine a really nice ring with a carrot on it. And as always please comment cuz I just love that stuff and goodnight.
