Rebecca woke up to the rusty screeching of her cell being unlocked. She briskly sat up and saw Nick, the annoying fox, unlocking her cell, with Judy behind him.

"It's time to get up now." Judy said kindly "You can go home now."

Rebecca stretched her arms yawning, happy just to be allowed out of the small cramped cell. She was about to make a snide comment when she realized she didn't have a home to go back to.

"But... but..." she stuttered, losing her cool.

"What's the problem now Becky?" Nick asked her, seeming slightly concerned, even while mocking her.

"I... I... I don't have a home to go to!" Rebecca starting to tear up, her face creased in sorrow "I don't know how to get home, and I don't think... I don't think there is a way for me to get home."

Judy walked over to the now sobbing teenager, and sat on the bed next to her trying to comfort her. "Don't worry about it. We'll look after you till we can get you home, won't we Nick?"

"Whatever you want carrots..." Nick said sighing, trying to hide his emotions as much as possible, as Rebecca hugged Judy tightly.

"You guys... You guys are the best." Rebecca mumbled, still crying.

"Bit too... Bit too tight..." Judy squeaked, being crushed by Rebecca.

"Oh sorry." Rebecca said nervously, quickly releasing Judy from her boa-constrictor hug.

"Well you should be able to bunk..." Judy began before trailing off when seeing Nick "Nick! Are you... blushing?"

"No!" Nick argued defensively, blushing even more making it even more obvious. Knowing how clear it was to them that he was in fact blushing, he tried to hide his face under his arm. "Lets just get her to a safe house somewhere."

"Oh, is the fox jealous that I got Judy's hug?" Rebecca mocked Nick.

"No..." he mumbled, blushing even more, causing Judy to blush as well, while making it even clearer that the real answer was yes.

"Well, if you want a hug, get over here!" Rebecca exclaimed happily, pulling the fox over to her, practically forcing both Judy and Nick together.

There was a moment of awkward silence of where Nick and Judy didn't do anything except blush and look awkwardly around the room, which Rebecca found extraordinarily cute. Then at the same time they practically threw themselves at each other, hugging happily, momentarily forgetting that Rebecca was even there. After a few moments they left each other's embrace, both of them grinning wide smiles.

"Wow, both of you two enjoyed that hug a lot." Rebecca said "Perhaps even slightly too much for just partners?"

"Stop teasing us!" Nick scolded, trying to stop himself from blushing even more "We need to find you somewhere to stay; enough of the emotional stuff. Carrots, could you please escort Becky somewhere until I get Benjamin to find suitable place for Becky to stay?"

"Sure!" Judy replied happily, bouncing off the bed to lead Rebecca to her workstation, as Nick also left the cell to walk down the corridor. "Oh and Nick you forgot something."

Wheeling around, Nick looked puzzled by Judy's behavior as she bounded up to him. Judy stopped right in front of Nick to jump up into the air, so that at the apex of the jump, her head was level with Nick's head. It was at this point where Judy gave Nick a short but sweet kiss, right on the end of his nose. Smiling smugly Judy then silently landed and walked back to Rebecca to continue leading her down the corridor. Just before turning the corner, Rebecca looked back to see Nick still frozen in place, his jaw gaping in shock, his face looking like it was burning due to the amount of blushing, causing Rebecca to laugh heartily.
