While Judy was sleeping, someone else was also thinking of Nick. But not in a positive way.

"Ooo, I can't believe that worm dumped me!" Kathleen growled viciously, while siiting in front of the fireplace. She had been ripping every single photograph she had of Nick from her scrapbook of many friends and boyfriends. Each ripped picture was tossed into the flickering flames.

"Why are you complaining?" Ronaldo asked, in a dumb voice. He was sitting beside her while reading a newspaper. "You never liked him anyway!"

"I know!" Kathleen snapped. She took a deep breath and sighed. "I know, but I only kept that stupid fox around for two reasons, 1) My first ex boyfriend dumped me and I needed a rebound. Nick was the perfect fool for he was desperate to be with me. 2) I only kept him around until the next mammal who is richer, handsomer, and more successful than Nick came along!"

"Which is me, right?" the gray fox asked hopefully.

"Of course, you idiot!" the black vixen barked. "Who else? Justin Beaver? Anyway, I had planned to dump him after the party but then he beat me to it!"

"Does it really matter?" Ronaldo asked. "Either way, you got rid of him!"

"You haven't heard the worst part!" the vixen continued, her voice cracking. "My friends had overheard Nick telling Finnick about our little the secret! How 'the big bad Kathleen cheated on poor little Nicky with someone else!' Now nobody wants to talk to me anymore! Nor do they want to come to my next party! I can't even go out without being called 'slut' or 'tramp!' How am I supposed to be the most popular and prettiest girl? My social life is ruined! All because of that idiotic Nick Wilde!"

After letting it out all out, Kathleen began crying like a two-year-old.

"Yeah...maybe we should have waited until after the party to "do the deed," Ronaldo mumbled, blushing. Awkwardly, he tried to figure out how to comfort a crying vixen. "Well, it doesn't matter, at least you have me," he smiled nervously, putting his arm around the dejected fox. "Your friend and boyfriend!"

"You're not my friend!" The vixen snarled as she flicked his arm off her. "You're just my boyfriend!"

Ronaldo's muzzle showed hurt and confusion.

"Can't a boyfriend also be a friend?"

"No you moron!" The angry vixen shouted. "There is a term for that, it's called 'platonic friend!'"

"But-"

"You can't be friends with your boyfriend! You either have a friendship or a relationship, NOT a friend-lationship! That is only for losers who think befriending a crush will lead them to romance!"

"Whatever," the male fox mumbled, rolling his eyes. "So what are you gonna do about it?"

"I don't know, you twit!" Kathleen seethed. She tossed the last picture of a smiling Nick into the fireplace. She watched it being disintegrated into ashes. Her angry frown turned into a cruel twisted smile. "One day, I will get back at Nick. One day!"


The next day, Nick bade Honey goodbye as she left the house. (She hopes to show one of her science experiments to four potential entrepreneurs who run their empires on science and technology). With Honey gone and Finnick taking another one of his long disturbing naps, the fox knew this is his chance to see his beloved rabbit!

Now, reader, I know what you are thinking: He can't be in love with her, she is from the past! Wouldn't that ruin the timeline?

Well, that is a good question. The fox had been considering the situation for a while.

"I only went two years back!" he reasoned. "We are from the same century! It's not like Judy is from the distant past like the Middle Ages or the Tame Collar Era! I bet that once Finnick and I get back to the future, I will reunite with her! So I don't see why I should stop pursuing her!"


Meanwhile, the gray bunny was still waiting for a call from Nick. She was sitting by her bedside, looking at her phone as if it was a out to explode. Not being able to stand the silence any longer, she gave out a frustrated groan and pulled her ears.

"Oh, why hasn't he called?" She groaned.

"Be patient, Judy!" her roommate smirked as she came out of the bathroom. "It's only been one day and you're expecting that fox to take you out again?"

"But I want to see him again!" Judy said, feeling so fidgety. She laid back on her bed, trying to calm down. "What if he doesn't call me? What if he doesn't like me?"

"Give it time, honey," Kitty assured the impatient bunny. "I am sure the phone will ring any minute."

As soon as Kitty finished, the phone rang!

Judy sat up very quickly and grabbed her phone and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Judy! It's Nick!"

The rabbit's eyes sparkled like stars as a happy feeling washed over her. She turned to the cat with a big smile on her muzzle, as to tell her that her fox called! The cat smiled back , knowing that she was right. She left the room to give the couple privacy.

"How are you doing today?" Judy asked politely.

"I'm feeling lucky," Nick answered. It was true, he couldn't remember the last time he'd been really happy.

"Why?"

"Because I got plans for our second date!"

"Sweet, I can't wait!" Judy was bouncing up and down.

"Slow down eager beaver-bunny-we gotta take things slow if you want to get the 'fun stuff!'" Nick smirked. He found it easy to tease this lapine.

"Oh I am sorry I didn't mean to sound so forward!" Judy apologized rapidly, her muzzle turning pink. She hoped she wasn't being too forward! Her worries died down down when she learn laughter on the phone.

"Relax, Carrots, I was just teasing you!"

The bunny smiled as she rolled her eyes playfully. She almost forgot about his strange sense of humor.

"Okay, I'm relieved!" Now that she thought about it, it was amusing. "So what are we doing today?"
