Whenever Nick laughs, giggles or chuckles you guys are invited to imagine him laughing like in the video.
9° Vacation Day
Nick woke up to the sound of the alarm he had set on his phone the night before, after struggling a little he managed to set it off before turning to look to his side and noticing Kaz was not there.
"Morning Foxy."
"Hi Pink."He turned around answering and smirked when he saw Kaz getting out of the bathroom while drying his wet body with a towel, grinning as the fox stared at him.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." He said before covering his head with the towel and as he dried his hair he heard a flash, hastily taking the towel off, he saw Nick typing in his phone before showing him the screen.
"Just did Pink, here is my new contact picture for you." Nick chuckled at Kaz flustered expression before hopping of the bed.
"I'll take a shower, can you make us blueberry pancakes?" Nick said with puppy eyes and ears leaning back as Kaz picked a dark blue t shirt and black sweatpants from a pile of clothes.
"Yeah yeah, just don't drop the soap." Kaz answered sarcastically while getting dressed. After brushing his teeth Nick hopped into the shower, feeling the warm water waking him up.
Turning off the shower Nick pulled the curtain to pick his towel but instead saw a flash and Kaz holding a phone with one paw and a towel with the other. Nick put his paws on his hip and said amusingly raising one eyebrow.
"How long did you wait for it?" Kaz then took another picture before throwing him the towel.
"Your pancake is getting cold Foxy." He said giggling while exiting the bathroom.
After getting dressed in a red short sleeved social shirt, white tie and black pants Nick went to the kitchen and started devouring his breakfast.
"Calm down Foxy it's still early, no need to rush." Kaz said as he washed his plate on the sink but Nick swallowed the rest of his pancakes while waving his hand to him.
"Just be careful, can't have you choking again." Kaz whispered provocatively on his ear and winked to him, causing the fox to blush and choke on his food, having a coughing fit while the human laughed.
After drinking some water to calm his cough Nick turned to Kaz smirking and said.
"Ready to hit the road Pink?"
"Sure, lets roll." Kaz said but Nick stopped in his tracks as he saw him wearing biker sunglasses.
"What are these for?" Nick said before looking around searching his aviator shades.
"Don't wanna the sun in my eyes while driving."
"And your cap?" Nick asked while putting his shades on.
"I don't know where it is…and I don't want it anymore." Kaz answered with some hints of anger in his voice, Nick caught onto that and joked to change the subject.
"This look fits you better Pink, but mine are cooler." He said with a smug smile as he raised his shades and winked. Soon after this they were already at the pickup truck, making their way out of the farm.
Judy turned off her alarm clock and seated on her bed stretching herself before starting her morning. She quickly washed herself, got dressed and made her way to the kitchen. When she entered, Judy was greeted by her mother that was preparing breakfast for some of her siblings.
"Good morning sweetie, do you want some pancakes?"
"Good morning Mom." She nodded while serving herself a glass of juice.
"Take a seat there with your siblings, the food is almost ready."
Hearing this she seated near one of her bothers while taking sips at her orange juice. After a while her mother served them and seated by her side while they ate.
"John is that Kaz's cap?" Bonnie asked sternly to a grey bunny that had already finished his pancakes. Judy turned to him and noticed he was indeed wearing the human's bunny eared cap, while his own ears were leaning low against his head.
"Look Mom, I have four ears." The little bunny happily exclaimed causing Bonnie to giggle a little before saying.
"Well, you now that is not yours, so go and give it back to Kaz okay." John nodded but soon spoke.
"I went to his house earlier, but he wasn't there so I will give him it later." Bonnie twitched her nose, she knew Kaz wasn't an early riser in days off, she remembered what had happened the day before and turned to Judy.
"Did you talk with Nick on the phone? Is Kaz okay?"
"I did, he said Kaz was fine." Judy said with an unhappy voice, her mother noticed it but John asked.
"Can I go play Mom? All the other kids had already left the table and he was unhappy being left behind.
"Sure sweetie, just take care." After he left Judy heard her mother asking her preoccupied.
"Is something wrong sweetie?" She gave her mother a weak smile and shook her head.
"No Mom, everything is fine."
Bonnie knew her daughter very well and she had always been a terrible liar. She placed a paw on Judy's arm and said giving her a stern look.
"Judy don't lie to your mother, now talk to me."
Judy sighed heavily before speaking.
"I'm just a little frustrated Mom, that's all." She looked to her mother pleadingly while trying to shake her arm away from her paw, but it seemed Bonnie was still not satisfied.
"And why are you frustrated sweetie?" Her mother's voice was full of worry. She sighed and answered unhappily.
"It's Nick." Bonnie raised one eyebrow but remained silent.
"I wanted spend more time with him on this vacation but he was always playing around with Kaz because I was stuck here and now they went together on a trip today and he didn't invite me." Judy said as her gaze and ears dropped.
Bonnie passed one arm around her back and placed a paw on her shoulder, gently pulling her closer.
"Oh sweetie I'm sure Nick didn't mean that, he probably didn't want to bother you when your uncles and aunts were visiting." Judy gave her a sad look and she continued.
"And he didn't invite you because he must be helping Kaz cheer up in some weird predator way that you probably wouldn't enjoy." Judy chuckled weakly once before saying still sad.
"We didn't have room for him here before, but now that we have he said he prefers to stay there, with him instead of me, his best friend." She said hurt.
Bonnie's face went from worry to shock and then back to worry, after hearing all this she finally understood what was really happening with her daughter.
"Judy, sweetheart, you like Nick right." Judy's ears perk up and she looks shocked at her mother, while blushing heavily.
"I-I don't know w-what you're talking about Mom, we-we're just friends." She says averting her gaze, as her ears drop in embarrassment but her mother stares at her and she just shakes her head.
"I was going to tell him while here but I didn't have the chance yet." She says swinging her legs weakly under the table.
"I think that is for the best." Bonnie said, earning a furious glare from her daughter.
"What?" Judy said angry, but her mother just gave her a worried look while saying.
"Sweetie I can tell that he likes you a lot but what if he doesn't like you in that way or already has someone he likes?" She said weakly.
"You don't know him like I do Mom and if he already had a mate I would know, I thought that at least once you could encourage me, but I see I was wrong." Judy said angry and sad that once again her mother was discouraging her to follow her dreams. She then stood up, ready to go back to her room.
"Sweetie please, I didn't mean it that way, I just don't want you to be hurt." Bonnie said with tears forming in her eyes. Seeing this Judy sighed, her mother was worried that Nick being a predator would hurt her feelings even though her mother had less prejudice against predators than her father, it was still there. She then gave her mother a quick hug and said.
"It's okay Mom, Nick is a predator but he would never hurt my feelings."
Bonnie looked at her a little shocked and said.
"The problem is not that, it is…" She sighed as she watched her daughter and continued while trying to hide her worry.
"Sorry sweetie, your old mom sometimes gets a little overprotective." Judy gave her a peck on her cheek and said, now more cheerful than before.
"Thanks Mom, I'll go to my room."
Bonnie watched her daughter walking away and sighed, she couldn't bring herself to tell her little girl what she knew, she would have to let her learn by herself.
Judy seated on her bed while she phoned Nick, it rang twice before he answered.
"Hey Carrots." She could hear the sound of a car engine.
"Hi Slick, where are you?"
"That's a secret Carrots." She heard Kaz laughter in the background, and asked slightly irritated.
"Nick what are you doing?"
"Chill Fluff, you will learn later, okay." She sighed at his joyful tone.
"When will you be back?"
"Before dinner, Mom." He said mockingly earning her a giggle.
"Okay, see you later…dumb fox." She ended the call before he could retort.
Nick scoffed and put his phone away, before turning back to Kaz.
"So like I was saying, first we go to the precinct, get everything done and then we sightsee a little." Kaz nodded and grinned happily, in the distance Nick could see that Zootopia was extremely closer, he sighed when thinking about the city and spoke.
"Pink before we arrive I want to give you a few more tips alright." Kaz nodded and listened.
"In Zootopia there will be a lot of jerks far worse than that idiot yesterday and you will have to deal with them eventually." He said seriously, as Kaz listened quietly.
"I love you like you are and don't want you to change but I think you…are a little too soft and kind for your own good." He sighed and continued.
"Kaz, you are human, most mammals will fear you, so I want you to use that to your advantage, I know you don't like hurting others, so scare them off when you can." Nick cleared his throat uncomfortably.
"Don't let them see that they get to you Pink, can you do that…for me?" Nick gave him a worried look and seeing this Kaz parked the pickup by the side of the road and spoke.
"I'm sorry about yesterday Nick." He then put on of his paws on Nick's chin.
"I promise you that will not happen again, I won't let they get to me or you never again." He said fiercely and gave him a kiss. After this Nick placed a paw on Kaz's leg and said.
"Thanks Pink…but don't force yourself too much okay, I will be there if you need me." He gave Kaz a reassuring smile. Kaz smiled warmly back and said affectively.
"Thanks Foxy." They readjusted themselves on their seats and continued their travel.
Forty minutes later they had already entered the city of Zootopia, Kaz had his jaw hanging the whole time while looking wildly at every direction and Nick was starting to get worried about him running over someone.
"Pink pay attention on the road, you're driving worse than Carrots." He said and Kaz gave him a sheepish smile in response. Nick giggled and said.
"C'mon we can play later, let's go to the precinct." After this Kaz seemed more focused and sometime later they were parking on one of the precinct's vacate slots.
As they made their way to the reception Nick noticed Clawhauser looking happily at his phone while giggling, he also noticed that some of the few fellow officers that were around were glancing awkwardly at Kaz from a distance. When they arrived at the reception desk Nick said.
"Hey Spots, how are hanging." The cheetah averted his gaze from the phone and opened a big smile when he looked at Nick but then he turned to Kaz and his face became shocked for a second before he composed himself with a sheepish smile.
"Hi Nick weren't you supposed to be at vacation and who is your friend." He said with a little fright in his voice staring at Kaz, Nick rolled his eyes at his reaction and turned to Kaz, who had rested his shades on his shirt and looked at Clawhauser with some hints of disgust in his face, Nick followed his gaze and had to hold a laugh when he saw a donut trapped on the cheetah's flabby neck.
"This is Kaz, a very good friend of mine, we were hoping he could sign up for the academy to become a officer." Clawhauser's face became cheerful and happily extended a paw to Kaz and said.
"That's great to hear guys, hi I'm Benjamin Clawhauser, nice to meet you." Kaz didn't seem to notice it and was still staring at the donut, Nick had to elbow him to break the human out of his shock, he them smiled friendly and shook paws with the cheetah.
"Kaz Andar, nice to meet you." Clawhauser started giggling excitedly while picking a sheet of paper behind his desk.
"I'm sorry, it's just I never seen a human before and here you are, I have to say you look a lot less frightening than I imagined." He said cheerfully but then covered his mouth when thinking about what he said, Kaz chuckled and said.
"Don't worry about it, I hear it all the time." The cheetah calmed and gave Kaz the recruitment form.
"You can use one of those pens to fill this up, if you have any doubts call me." The human nodded but before he picked a pen he finally said.
"Ben you have something in your neck." He said a little disgusted and pointed to the donut, Clawhauser noticed the sweet on his neck and quickly picked and ate it. Nick chuckled as he saw Kaz shiver and turn away picking a pen and seating on a nearby chair, while writing on the form. He then turned to Clawhauser, who had just called him.
"Hey Nick, I don't want to sound bad or anything, but I don't know if they will accept him you know." The cheetah said apologetically.
"Don't worry Spots, I will have a word with buffalo butt about it." Clawhauser nodded.
"The chief is in his office…Nick how are things going with you and Judy?" He asked curiously, to which Nick raised an eyebrow while answering.
"Normal, why?" Clawhauser pouted a little at his answer, they didn't let Nick know about the bet pool they had at precinct about when he and Judy would become an official couple, after all if he knew, he would try to cheat it to gain some easy money.
"Well…it's just that you two had been serious for some time now, are you sure you two are still only friends?" He had betted heavily on them getting together officially during their vacation, if he won he would have enough money to go to Gazelle's concerts for the rest of his life. Nick chuckled at the cheetah's response, it didn't matter how much he and Judy denied it, a lot of mammals had this delusion.
"Yeah Spots she is not just my best friend now…" He said seriously, pausing slightly to smirk at the cheetah's happy face.
"We are brother and sister, her parents said that I was part of the family." He said proudly, but Clawhauser's face twitched in an awkward smile.
"That's very good to hear." He said, unhappy that he might lose the bet.
"Hey I'm finished here, what now?" Kaz said standing by Nick's side.
"Let's go to the chief, Pink, bye Spots." They waved and made their way.
As they walked away a tigress approached the desk and asked mockingly.
"So Benjie, did they get together yet?" He pouted and answered.
"No, but they still have vacation time." Fangmeyer leaned on his desk.
"I'm telling you, it'll be on new year's eve a few months from now, and I will start next year with a new Jacuzzi." She said giggling before turning away.
Bogo was reading the newspaper leisurely, it had been a rather calm week and he was enjoying it. He heard a knock on the door and said.
"Come in." His smile disappeared when the door opened and Nick walked in with that annoying smirk of his.
"What are you doing here Wilde." Bogo said sharply, while the fox seated in front of his desk.
"Oh chief, didn't you miss me?" Nick said mockingly but the buffalo didn't seem amused.
"You should be on leave, why are you here?" Nick turned to the open door and said.
"That's your cue." Bogo looked to the door, waiting to see Judy walking in, but his jaw dropped when a human entered his room, stopped by Nick's side and gave a small salute before placing a sheet of paper in his table, Bogo picked it and saw that it was a form to enroll at the academy, filled with the human's information. He looked shocked to the human and fox before speaking.
"So…Kaz Andar is it, you would like to become a police officer." The human smiled and said.
"Yes sir." Bogo looked awkwardly to Nick and spoke.
"Andar, can you wait outside of the room while I have a word with Wilde." Kaz nodded and exited the room closing the door behind him.
Bogo placed the paper on his desk and shot Nick a stern look before saying.
"I'm sorry Wilde but I can't accept your friend's request to enter the academy." Nick almost let his smile falter, but he already expected resistance from the chief so he just retorted.
"Why not? He would make a good cop." The buffalo pinched between his eyes trying to calm himself before answering.
"His kind is not suited for this kind of job." Nick face became serious and he said.
"You said the same thing about me and Carrots, remember chief."
Bogo sighed.
"This is different Wilde…" Then Nick interrupted him sharply.
"Oh please, tell me how this is different from the other times you acted like an asshole because of those stupid prejudices of yours." Bogo opened his mouth to answer the angry fox but remained silent. He had been proven wrong time and time again by both Wilde and Hopps in the past. He looked again to the form Kaz had filled and said.
"I need your word Wilde, do you really vouch for him?" Nick nodded and answered sincerely.
"I do chief, with my life." Bogo sighed before saying.
"I will give him the benefit of doubt Wilde, but if he does something wrong, you will have to endure the consequences." He then placed the form on a very small pile near the edge of his table and said.
"He starts at the academy next Monday." Nick's face lighted up, in five days Kaz would be in the academy.
"Thanks chief you will not regret it." Bogo snorted and said sharply.
"Now get out, I'm busy here." Nick gives him an sheepish smile and says.
"Actually chief I have another thing I would like to ask you." Bogo furrowed his eyebrows while he listened to the fox.
Kaz was leaning against the wall, a few meters away from Bogo's office when he heard the door opening and Nick exiting he gave the fox a questioning look. Nick stopped in front of him with a serious face before grinning and giving him the thumbs up. Kaz hugged Nick up off the ground.
"Chill Pink, before someone sees us." Nick said looking to both sides of the hallway, Kaz then let him go.
"Thanks Foxy." He said quietly. Nick readjusted his tie and said smirking.
"Now let's go have some fun."
After exiting the precinct they walked all around Savannah Central, Nick couldn't help but laugh at Kaz reactions, especially Kaz's childish smile when he saw Little Rodentia. Nick also mentally sighed in relief, a lot of mammals seemed to stare at Kaz, most seemed a little scared but some of them had a proud look on their faces, probably army supporter's patriots, Nick thought.
"Hey Foxy are you hungry?" Nick looked at him and nodded, they had already passed their normal lunch time due to the sightseeing.
"How about there." Nick pointed to a small restaurant and Kaz nodded.
Vivian sighed, movement was declining since lunchtime had already passed so now the restaurant was almost empty and she was bored out of her mind, she didn't like her part time job as a waitress, but she had to pay for her student loans somehow and her friend Ada had helped her get it, so she couldn't complain. She then heard the sound of the door and sighed again before making her way to greet the new clients, forcing a smile.
"Welcome to the Golden Paw, I'm Vivian how can I help you…" The vixen stopped as she stared the fox in front of her, he was just a little older than her, he was slim and well fit, had beautiful fur and a charming face. She could feel her face heating up. Then the fox removed his shades revealing his emerald green eyes and said.
"We would like a table for two, Cupcake." She blushed and suppressed a giggle when he called her cupcake but then realized.
"For two." She said quietly and then looked to his side, finally noticing his companion. The human was terrifying, he had almost no fur in his pale skin, there were some shadows of old scars on his arms, his face was emotionless but his dark blue eyes were gazing at her with a murderous fury causing her to take a step back.
"F-follow me pl-please." She stuttered before guiding them to a table where she clumsily got their orders and quickly bolted to the kitchen. When she was gone Nick shot Kaz one extremely smug smile to which Kaz responded with a snort.
Vivian entered the kitchen and gasped for air, she was terrified, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself she gave the cook their order and seated on a nearby chair.
"Hey Vivi what's wrong?" She turned and saw Ada, a white furred wolf, giving her a slightly worried expression.
"Hey Ada can you take care of table three for me?"
Ada put her paws on her hips and asked her annoyed.
"And I would lose my break time for this because?"
"There is a human there, he spooks me a little." Vivian smiled sheepishly.
"A human." Ada's perked up and she took a peek through the door and her tail began wagging uncontrollably.
A few minutes later a white wolf came with their food, Nick found strange that the vixen from before had disappeared but turned his attention to the food. Just a he had his first bite he heard the waitress ask.
"So did you fight in Magna?" Nick stopped chewing and Kaz responded.
"Yeah, your accent is familiar, are you from East Magna?" Kaz asked amiably, Nick stopped chewing and looked to the waitress, a female white wolf in her mid twenties.
"Yes, my name is Adalwolfa Ackermann but my friends call me Ada." She said extending one paw.
"Kaz Andar, so Ada how did you end up in Zootopia?" Kaz gently shook her paw and asked. Nick glanced at him with his mouth still full of food.
"My family was rescued by zoorian troops in the middle of the war and we immigrated here." Her tail was wagging very fast and she had a very toothy grin.
"Well Ada, I very happy that we have been able to help your family." Kaz was smiling warmly to her, making her giggle as she said.
"Thank you Kaz, I will be in the kitchen, if you guys need anything call me." She said cheerfully as Nick swallowed hard his food.
Kaz was chewing leisurely when he noticed Nick was glaring at him, he gulped down and smiled smugly as Nick gave him an annoyed snort and continued eating in silence.
After they finished Ada gave them their tab took their dirty plates away while giggling. Nick half closed his eyes as he saw this.
"I'll go to the bathroom, be right back." Kaz said, when he was gone Nick opened the tab and saw that it had Ada's phone number there. He left the money and tip with the tab and went to the bathroom, where the human was washing his hands, Nick gave him a serious look and ordered.
"Lean down." Kaz shrugged and leaned down, Nick rubbed his neck against Kaz face for a while before giving him a satisfied look and turning around.
"Wait were you…" Nick just scoffed as Kaz laughed.
After exiting the restaurant they walked around for some time before making their way to the pickup truck and driving off.
"So what did you think of the big city Pink?"
"It's better than I thought." He said with a chuckle. Nick yawned and said.
"Wake me up when we arrive."
"Sure Foxy." Nick then adjusted himself and dozed off.
The ride back was uneventful and faster than expected they arrived a little before sunset, when Kaz parked his pickup in front of the house he turned to Nick that still was sleeping, curled in a ball on his seat, he took a quick photo of this with his phone.
"Foxy…Foxy." Nick slowly opened his eyes and yawned heavily, Kaz was gently petting his neck while calling him.
"What Pink?"
"We arrived." Nick then stretched and exited the car.
"Let's give them the news." Nick said while rubbing his eyes.
Judy and her parents were watching tv when one of her sisters came in and said to her parents.
"Dad, Mom, Kaz asked if he could talk with you guys he looked serious."
Nick must be back too, Judy thought when she heard this and went along with her parents. When they exited the burrow she saw Kaz and Nick talking happily, when Kaz saw then he approached her parents and kneeled to speak with them, Judy walked closer to Nick and asked while giving him a playful punch on the arm.
"So Slick ready to tell me what was that big secret about?" Nick smirked and pointed to Kaz.
"Carrots, you're seeing the newest recruit of the police academy." She looked in shock at Kaz with her mouth hung open.
"You're joking." She said pleadingly. Nick chuckled.
"Nope, we drove to Zootopia today and set everything up, he starts next Monday." Her eyes twitched when he said that, but then she realized, if Kaz wasn't going to stay here then Nick would spend his time with her.
"So Nick do you wanna go inside and chose a room for you to stay once Kaz is gone?" She said cheerfully turning to him, but he gave her and sheepish smile while scratching the back of his neck. Her face sunk, whatever he was about to say wasn't good.
"Actually Carrots, I will be returning to Zootopia tomorrow, I talked with Kaz about where he would be when he moved to Zootopia and since we had been living together pretty well since we met I invited him to be my roommate there too." Her face sunk, he was going back.
"I will help Kaz move and set up everything there." She looked at him.
"You will go, but you will be back right?" She asked with despair in her voice. He cleared his throat and said.
"Actually…I was getting bored being away from civilization for so long so I talked to Bogo, I will be returning back to work on the same day Kaz goes to the academy." Judy began to tear up, causing Nick to begin panicking a little bit.
"Fluff don't cry, I don't want to see you crying." He hugged her gently placing her face on his chest.
"Then why are you abandoning me Nick?" She said between sniffs and sobs.
"Judy I would never abandon you, you know that." He said warmly but she just rose her face and looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"And what you call this." She said angrily, Nick was shocked for a moment but his face became gentle as he petted her head, then he said.
"Judy I am helping a friend begin a new life in a place that he doesn't know and that fears him, I can't let him to fend for himself..." He leaned down so he could be eye to eye with her and continued.
"You're my family Judy, my little sister, I will never abandon you." He then stood up and gave her a peck on the top of her head followed by a warm hug.
"Are you feeling better now Fluff?" She had stopped crying and just nodded silently.
"You bunnies…always so emotional." He said half jokingly as Bonnie approached them. Judy cleaned her tears and composed herself the best she could before turning around, she saw her mother giving her a worried look and could see Kaz and her father shaking paws in front of the burrow.
Kaz and Stu finished their conversation and Stu said happily.
"Bon let's go, we will need to look for a new farmhand tomorrow."
Bonnie called Judy and together with Stu they entered the burrow. When they entered Bonnie said to her daughter.
"Sweetie don't be sad, I will make you your favorite dinner tonight." Judy gave her mother a tired look and said.
"I'm not hungry Mom, I will just go to sleep." Her mother nodded weakly.
When Judy got to her room she threw herself on her bed, thinking about what Nick had said.
'…you're my little sister…'
She sighed heavily and said silently to herself.
"One day he will see me as more than that." She then turned off her lamp and dozed to sleep.
P.S.S.-Just for anyone that might be curious Adalwolfa means something like "Noble she wolf" in german.
