After they had finished their dinner, they were headed to a pharmacy so that they could get a movie from Reedbox. Suddenly, an interesting thought came to Judy's mind.
"Maybe I should kiss him." She looked over at Nick who was calmly driving and nodding his head to the music from the radio. "I guess I'll wait until we get home. I wouldn't want to see him wreck." She frowned a bit at the scene that automatically played out in her head. Then she considered how funny Nick, a police officer, would look trying to explain himself to another. Judy chuckled to herself. At that, Nick glanced to her.
"What kind of thoughts is your little head formulating inside?" Nick asked curiously.
"Oh, just thinking about what would happen if you wrecked us." Nick placed one paw over his heart and looked at her with mock-surprise.
"Carrots! I can't believe you would even slightly believe that I would wreck the Bunnymobile," Nick said indignantly. Judy just giggled and shook her head.
"You're running off the road." At that he immediately straightened the wheel. "Keep your eyes on the road, you dumb fox," she said.
"Ha, ha. Well, Miss Fox Abuser, we are here. I'm just going to get out and get our movie from the machine, which by the way is on the other side of the store, while you sit in the Bunnymobile all alone with no big, strong fox to save you if any mammal decides to come snag you up." Judy crossed her arms and put on a defiant smile.
"Yes, yes, you go on and get our movie while I sit here quaking with fear." Nick gave her a lazy salute and shut the door. She watched as he walked around the side of the building until he finally disappeared from her vision. Judy sat in silence with the only company being her thoughts. "Ha. As if I'd be afraid. He just doesn't know. I'll prove him wrong by scaring him myself." She then crawled into the back seat and hid in the part that was right behind Nick's seat. She then waited quietly.
After a while, the tiny worm of worry wriggled its way into her. "What if someone assaulted him?" She then shook her head and reassured herself. "No. He'll be fine. He's a cop after all, and a dang fine one at that."
Ten more minutes and the said worm had evolved into a huge, fat snake of panic that was driving Judy nuts. "He's not okay. I'm going to get out and find him." She began to make a move toward getting out of the car. That is until she heard it. A sound just big enough for Judy to realize that she was not the only mammal in this parking lot. Her heart began to race as she made a dive for the button that locked the doors of the car. To her relief she made it before any more noises made themselves known. She quietly slumped down into the seat, for it was fox-sized so that Nick could ride with her comfortably, although he liked to pretend it was just for bunnies and that he was cramped. Suddenly, she could hear someone fiddling with the door's handle. She early jumped out of her skin when she peeped through the window to see a shadowy figure suddenly pass the window, heading toward the back of the car. Judy was in a panic, desperately worried about what would happen to her and what did happen to Nick. She crawled into the back seat in order to try to spy whom the animal was.
All of a sudden, the sound of a key entering a lock was heard. Judy fearfully watched as the back of her car opened up slowly. Before she could identify the figure, it pounced and landed on her. She knew it right then that she had met her end. At that point she was just waiting for the mammal to pull out his gun or knife and finish it. Suddenly, Judy caught a familiar scent. "Nick?" Suddenly, instead of a knife or gun, she was assaulted with tickles. She began to laugh as the mystery assailant's paw skittered across her sides. Finally it stopped and she was able to see that it was Nick. As soon as she realized it was just Nick, she was immediately furious.
"Nicholas Piberius Wilde! How dare you scare me like that?! What do you have to say for yourself?"
"Well, Carrots, I think you should be more careful. You were almost nabbed by a mammal that saw a cute, unsuspecting, sweet, innocent little bunny and wanted her all to- ouch!" Judy then used her two large feet to push Nick off of her. She got up from the back seat and sat in the passenger. "Oh, come on, Ju-"
"Drive," Judy said in a commanding, no-nonsense tone. She heard Nick climb out of the back seat and close the back of the car. He then got in beside her, shut his door, cranked the car, and drove out of the parking lot.
A little while down the road, Nick tossed the movie into Judy's lap.
"I got that one that you really wanted to see. You know, "Piggy Dancing." Judy peered down at the movie before her and discovered that it truly was what he claimed it to be. She risked a glance at him and saw that he wasn't looking at her. Once she confirmed that fact, she allowed a smile to come to her muzzle. However, she soon replaced it with a frown so he wouldn't know of her happiness. She felt some of the anger that was burning inside her die down. Although, there was still enough for her to not feel bad for giving him the silent treatment and for her to stay grumpy.
