(Note: sorry for the short chapter, it's mainly just a space filler - I'm working on longer chapters right now - thanks for being a fan of my series - The Nyips -Main editor)
Judy jumped with excitement. "Nick! Come on, get up! We need to get ready!" She shouted. Nick groaned. "Ready for what?" He asked groggily.
"Are you serious? I told you last night, I signed us up for the fun run." Nick heard that word. Run. It was his nemesis. He wasn't the fastest runner, he considered himself a stationary fox.
He only ran if he had to. He would power through the cramps and the intense sweating, and sometimes tears when Judy dragged him along on her morning runs.
"Great...five more minutes, though..." He mumbled.
Judy went and filled a large plastic cup with freezing cold water. She walked up to Nick and dumped it all over him. "Ahh!" He shouted as he sprang up.
"Fine, I'll do the run thing." She smiled happily. "8:00 am." Nick read his watch. "How long is this race, Judes?" He whined. "Not long at all!" She said happily.
He smiled. Words of relief, he thought to himself. "Only five miles." His smile turned into a frown.
They walked to the starting line. There were all different kinds of animals there. "Are you ready?!" Judy punched Nick's arm.
He rubbed it. "As much as I can be." Soon, the race was on. After about half a mile, Nick felt like he was dying. "Judy, Judy, please!" He yelled in between breaths as he struggled to keep up with the fast rabbit.
Eventually the race ended, with Judy in 3rd place, and Nick in 300th. They walked back to their apartment, and went inside. Nick went grabbed an open bag of potato chips from the counter and laid down in the bedroom.
"That was enough exercise for the week." He said reaching into the bag of potato chips.
"Sweet potato chips." He said stuffing a pawful of chips into his mouth.
