This is a Zootopia Fanfiction only.

Well thanks to all the publicity we got due to us providing all juice needs for all those athletes in the Olympics, well my business has under many definitions becomes self-sustaining and with a manager, I don't even have to be there. I still like the personal touch, alright it is because if I was not there I would be bored to tears.

After a solid week of July asking me about my bunny girlfriend, and sometimes her bunny Aunt, the shop has also become a refuge to the thousands of questions my nieces and nephews ask. I could probably tell them no, mind your own business, or focus on your schoolwork, but let's face it I am a loving and considerate Uncle, and they know it.

So much to my surprise the very same bunny who bought that Jumbo Pop with me is sitting right in front of my counter, yes, the bunny who pretty much has Finnick's children saying that I should introduce them to their Aunt, we aren't even dating and they are all already calling her Aunt Judy, this is insane!

"So Officer Hopps what can I do to brighten your day and put a smile on your day?" She really was in a rotten mood, I could practically smell it, guess I wasn't the only one with a rather tough week. "A glass of juice, a sympathetic ear, and quite possibly a shoulder to cry on would help."

Alright, little miss sunshine here is now making me feel concerned. "Come on Judy, we are alone here, you know you can always share your problems with me. I got time to spare, so let me listen to your problems, I might be able to help you out."

She took the glass of juice and finished it in a single gulp, alright she needs a refill, no she is not going to pay for it, and she is probably in an even worse situation than I am. Not even my godfather finished a drink that fasts and that was when he had to deal with a mechanic that tried to stiff him with added repairs on his limo. Let's just say the idiot joined the polar bear swimming club and was never seen at the garage again.

"Well I asked to be taken more seriously as a police officer and Chief Bogo still thinks I am dreaming, so when this nice lady otter was there crying about her missing husband, I remembered that you pretty much told me I had to be direct, and make things happen." Wait did I tell her that? "I talked with her, her husband has been missing over a month."

"I asked the Chief and had it not been for the Assistant Mayor, well I would never get the case, but Chief was not happy about it, so he assigned me the case and gave me one week to solve it. One of my friends in the force, Clawhauser he told me I had no resources, no access to the computers, somehow I am not even in the police payroll."

So basically she works as a cop, without actually being recognized by the Police ZR department as an actual employee and member of the Zootopia Police Department. I don't treat my employees like this, and most consider me a shifty fox.

"That is tough, and here I was thinking my situation was the pits. Thank you for making me feel better Judy." She looked at me and then at her now a full glass of juice. "Why? What is wrong? I shared my problems, no reason you can't share your problems with me."

I looked at her, "The source of my problems is you, you remember July right? Well, July has not stopped asking details about her potential Aunt Judy. All my nephews have been asking me how, where and when did I meet their Aunt Judy. I told them I was not dating anyone by that name, but July will simply not let it go."

That made Judy again drink the entire glass of juice really quick and left some bucks on the counter and took off, and here I was thinking Cheetahs were fast, that bunny can sure run but the question was why did she take off like that, I thought that she was running to the bathroom after polishing off two full glasses of juice but the bathroom was in the back of the shop.

I had little else to do today, so Finnick asked me to pick up his youngest kit from the daycare. I took my stroller and went to pick up my youngest niece. She was adorable, I decided that we could take a walk in the park and I could teach her about the colors while we looked at flowers. It has been two days since I talked with Judy and for some reason, she never returned to my shop, for some reason I think she is avoiding me.

As we walked by she drove her meter maid cart near us, "Nick, do you mind, I really need your help here. I am running out of leads and nobody in the department wants to help me just because it might piss off Chief Bogo."

Has she asked me two days ago I would not object, but right now I am taking my niece to the park and then to her mother, I simply don't have time? "Well Officer, I would love to help, but as you can see me and my niece got a very busy day ahead of us." As soon as I began to push the stroller for some reason the stroller stopped moving.

I looked and I could not believe it, how dare she do this. "YOU BOOTSTRAPPED MY STROLLER! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!" She took a binder from her cart and began to walk near me and my niece. She was just smiling and laughing the entire time.

"If you will not help me, Nicholas Wilde you are under arrest?" I can't believe that Judy would resort to this to get what she wanted, honestly if she was not a cop my godfather would probably end up making her one of his Capo-regime.

"You are under arrest for operating a business without a license, tax evasion and lying on a federal income tax form." Alright, I am putting an end to this, now I was angry. I have to control my anger and not lose it like before, don't want my niece to see me any angrier that she already did.

I picked up the phone and called Finnick, he came by in the family station wagon to pick up his kid and apparently to look at what mess I was in, I told him to bring me a certified copy of my taxes and my license to run my business, he had no problem since he was talking with our accountant at the time.

Finnick took ten minutes to finally get here, and it didn't help that the minute he placed his daughter in the car seat and handed me my papers they both began to laugh hysterically, is Finnick a fox or a Hyena, that is the question that kept repeating inside my mind.

"As you see Officer Hopps, I do have a license, and I paid my taxes every single year. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go to the club my godfather owns, cause after today I need a drink." When I began to walk away I was stopped by something I never expected.

Finnick went up to her and hugged her, he is married and he hugs her like that! "So you are the much talked about Aunt Judy, I finally got to meet you. July has not stopped talking about you, my wife thinks she will end up enrolling in the Police Academy when she grows up."

"Judy, why did you do something like this? I know my bro Nick here, and let's face it, he is a sucker for helping people in trouble, had you asked him for help he would help you, especially after my kids keep talking about you and call you Aunt Judy. That means even my kits notice there is something there between you and my ever oblivious brother here."

"You mean to tell me your kits actually call me Aunt Judy? I thought that was something Nick said to embarrass me enough that I would not be able to ask him for anything." Finnick went to the passenger seat and took out something out fo the glove compartment, it was a drawing. I was not going to like where this is going.

He handed it to her, and it was a drawing of me, July and her holding hands. Under the shape I assume was me was written Uncle Nick, and under her Aunt Judy and a red heart drawn in between. Alright, that does it, no more Jumbo Pops for July till she is old enough to vote or till she graduates college whichever happens first.

"July draw that, so yes, she does call you Auntie Judy, my oblivious bro here is many things, but a liar he is not." She looked at it and assume she was blushing cause she was hiding her face behind the sheet of paper. He even kept the star Judy got, "Well Nick it seems you been drafted into the police force, you help your girlfriend here, oh and you are going to need this." He jumped up and placed the star on my shirt.

"You are a cop now Nick, have fun helping your cute bunny girlfriend." Finnick is an idiot, doesn't he know that calling a bunny cute is a taboo? From the glares, I imagine he got from Judy he took off like the devil was after him.

"Sorry about Finnick, he was never what you call politically correct. Well since I am now free, could you at least show me who and what you know about this missing Otter?" She didn't say a word she just handed me a photo and I simply couldn't believe who it was. I have seen this guy no less than a few thousand times.

"Well, why didn't you start doing that? I happen to know this otter, he is a good friend of mine. So he has been missing for over a month, his mate and kids must be in tears. Emmit Otterton is the name of this person, he happens to also be one of the best gardeners Zootopia ever seen. He is the only one that could somehow make a flower garden in the middle of the Tundra district, this is how good he is at what he does."

She began to relax, "So you know him, well that makes matters easy. You probably know where he likes to go after work don't you?" Not a damn clue, Emmit was many things but disclosing things like that to anyone other than members of his family, he would never do it, he was a very private person. The only reason he talked to me at all is that I have known him that long.

"I could say I know everyone in Zootopia either in person because they bought from me, supply me with fruits and vegetables or met them in my business dealings as a member of the chamber of commerce. My first guess is that the person who might know is his employer, my godfather."

As we walked out of the tram and into the Tundra district, I could not help but smile as I remembered things from my childhood. "Why are you smiling like that?" I told her that in my youth I didn't have my dad in my life, dad abandoned me and my mom. So my godfather was the only person who was the male role model for me.

I began to point out places where I played and where I met friends, the district is cold, but the friends and people you cared about more than made up for all the warmth a little boy needed. As we finally walk towards the gate, I pressed the bell. Vozlo was present so were some of his men, he looked happy to see for some reason.

As we got near them I could not help to notice all the catering trucks and flower shop vans. "Vozlo don't tell me I was never sent a message about it. I can't believe that nobody told me about Fru Fru's wedding. She is going to be so sad, I will never be able to apologize to her and her future husband enough."

Vozlo laughed, "Nick there is nothing to worry about, the wedding will happen in a few hours. I even got her a present in your name. I guess our guy forgot to send you the invitation, but don't you worry none, we will have a word with him. This was the last straw with that guy."

I couldn't help but relax after my friend said, "Could I get to see my godfather? I know that he is probably busy, but my friend here is really worried about a friend of ours, and she really needs to ask when was it he was here last?"

Vozlo opened the door and began to guide us to my godfather's office. I waited and could not help smiling as I saw gram mama's picture. I know she will be very happy if Fru Fru finds a good mate and she will be here to see her wedding, in spirit.

Another guy was carrying something and placed my godfather on his desk. "Ah, Nick my boy, I am so happy you did not forget about the wedding of my daughter. It is nice to see that my godson is such a dependable guy. Now Vozlo told me you and your friend are looking for someone. So tell me who is it that got you so worried about?"

I went to him and kissed his ring, "My friend here met Emmit's wife, and when heard that he has been missing for over a month, it was such a sad tale that we began to worry. You know Emmit was the one who taught me about flowers. So, Godfather, do you have any clue where Emmit is? It would really help us."

He relaxed and looked at Judy, "The only thing is I don't understand why is your friend wearing a police costume, oh well, kids these days, you know well that I can't deny a request on my daughter's wedding, even if it is something I really feel I should not answer."

"Emmit Otterton was my gardener for years, one day my chauffeur gave him a ride back home, he lives in the Savannah district as you well know, and it was getting pretty late, we didn't want his family to worry. You know how friendly and calm he is, but without even noticing he began to tear up the car seats, he began to foam at the mouth, Ricardo was worried so he opened the window to check and Emmit attacked him."

I could not believe it, Ricardo is a rather tough looking Panther, he is not the sort that you would think anyone would attack him, Emmit attacked him, that is crazy. "He hurt my chauffeur so badly that I had to send him to the hospital, he took some days off to get over the trauma, I know godson, you would never think Emmit would do something this savage, but I told you, no matter how civil we may appear we are animals deep down."

That is when Fru Fru came into the office, she looked stunning, I couldn't help but to feel myself tearing up, "You look beautiful Fru Fru, I am so happy that I could be here to see your wedding." She looked at me and walked towards me.

"Nick, you made it, great, I am so happy, the guy who I am marrying said that you might forget it since you are so busy with your business, you really made me happy with the flowers, but even more so that you took time for my wedding day."

She looked at Judy and was really happy to see her for some reason, "You came with Nick, that is wonderful, glad that you could make it Officer Hopps, I am very happy that you could attend my wedding. Sorry that I couldn't send you an invitation but you never did tell me your mailing address."

Judy smiled and walked near the edge of the desk, "I am just trying to find a missing Otter, but I am happy to see you so happy, you look stunning in that dress." She made a curtsy and said thank you. Fru Fru was always quite the lady, considering who my godfather is, how else could she be? He really is quite the disciplinarian after all.

"Godson, you mean to tell me you brought a cop to my home?" Oh, boy, this is not going to end well. That is when Fru Fru stood near her father, "Don't you even think it! I will not have people iced in my wedding, her least of all, you remember I told you that a cop saved me from getting hurt by that giant doughnut."

My godfather seems to relax, "You mean this bunny cop? She is the one that saved you from that?" He stepped closer to see her and for some reason, I felt like I should put my paw on her shoulder for moral support. He looked at me and smiled.

"Very well, you have done me and my family service, and favor is never forgotten, should you need my help, I and the members of my family will be at your disposal. You have done us a good deed, and we shall also act in kind. Now lets us go and watch my little girl marry. I hope that one day I get to see you as happy and as lucky as she is my boy."

The wedding was beautiful, the ceremony was elegant, I could see Fru Fru and her husband very happy together. I couldn't help but to take my handkerchief and clean my face, I couldn't help crying as I saw Fru Fru and her husband dance at the reception.

My godfather told me to go to his side, and he was still smiling, "It is good that you found a date for this special occasion, I been noticing how protective you are with that bunny, most people would frown upon seeing that, but I am biased, I want to see the people I care about happy. You keep an eye on that one godson, something tells me you found yourself a keeper."

Thank goodness Judy didn't hear that I am embarrassed enough for both of us. As we finally left the party we both walked towards the tram. "Who knew the infamous Mister Big would be such a kind fellow. You alright there Nick?" I guess some tears were still on my fur and they froze once we got outside.

"Nothing to worry about Judy, just that I can't help but to feel happy to see Fru Fru so happy. Like I told you my godfather was the only father figure in my life, so naturally I am the way I am thanks to the way he advised me, taught me, and was there for me, thank you for being there with me Judy, the only thing I am sort of disappointing was that we could not dance together."

She became quiet and began to look at the seats to find two empty seats on the tram that will take us to the Savannah District. "I was enjoying the music, didn't know you wanted to dance, you should have told me. Oh well, let's focus on the job, we can talk about that and what you seem to talk with your godfather if we have enough time."

Please tell me Judy didn't hear what we were talking about, with those ears I would be surprised if she didn't hear, but for some reason, I felt myself blushing. I haven't blushed this much in my entire life.
