A/N: this one is a tad short but it was killing me and I can't put what I have for the next chapter in this one. It just wouldn't fit. So I have been reading a lot of stories on the internet that are very strange but true. Kinda makes me sad for the state of our species. Anyway I included a real story changed up a bit for Zootopia about an actual woman who did this very thing.

Silky: great to read another review from you. Reading it brought a smile to my face. We all have hard times. Hard times led me here.

Everybody: I didn't know how much I would enjoy writing for all of you or how much of an impact I would have on you either. Hearing that my stories help people with their day means the world to me. After all as Judy says 'Make the world a better place'. My past was a bad place, and all of you have helped me make it a better one.

Disclaimer: "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. It's the only way to become what you were meant to be." I am a major star wars nut. Disney owns it and Zootopia. Not me.

Chapter 10

The next day they went back to work with the intention of keeping it quiet. They should have known better. Their coworkers had a betting pool not on if they got together but when. The perpetual grin on Nick and Judy told them something was up, but the clincher was Nick himself. Normally dumb or rude customers would make him angry and cause him to act like a prick. That did not happen today.

The customer in question could not have been more idiotic or downright mean. A short ewe in glasses was following a young raccoon in a Bugga Burga uniform. He was listening to music and shopping. She began poking and pestering him to help her. He removes one of his ear buds.

"What do you want lady? I'm trying to shop." he says clearly annoyed.

"What are you listening to music while you work for?" she yelled.

"I don't work here." he said confused before putting his ear bud back in and trying to continue shopping.

The ewe continued pestering him until her screaming attracted Nick. He turned the corner and walked up with his best smirk as though she were the nicest mammal he'd ever come across.

"Excuse me, Miss. Do you need some help?" he asked as though she were his dear old Grannie and not some short, self- entitled,four eyed twit.

"Yes, this stock boy refuses to help me. I want him fired!" she yelled in her whiny voice.

Nick looked over the young raccoon who looked as confused as Nick felt. The youngster stood there in his obvious Bugga Burga uniform looking at the poofy little ewe like she's nuts. In his head Nick agreed but he also knew that getting her out of here would take something that was a bit new to his repertoire. Finesse.

"Well now. That's easily done ma'am." Nick said before he looked over at the kit who he winked at. "Kid? Make your purchases and hurry along home. I wish you luck in your next job." He then turned to the crazy little sheep, "there that's dealt with. Now what is it you needed?"

…

Three aisles over Finnick was listening with shock on his muzzle. He never would have dreamed that Nick could use his smart-ass mouth for anything other than getting into trouble. Nick hadn't told her off, had gotten the other customer out of a bad situation and even helped the little hag. Finnick himself had been on his way to yell at her, insult her and kick her out. Finnick watched Nick and the little ewe get her items and go to the front where he even bagged for her.

His nose twitched at something different about Nick's scent. NO WAY! He's been scent marked!

The smell was almost covered up by flower scented shampoo but under that was a certain bunnies mark entwined with the scent of fox. His mouth curled in an evil grin and he ran to the service desk to tell Raymond and Kevin. By the end of business hours the whole store, even the employees not working, knew.

…

Nick and Judy clocked out for the day and left the break room together. As they passed the service desk the two polar bears cracked up laughing. They were stared at like a couple of crazy bears but that only served to make them laugh harder. Finnick came out of his office and walked over to them with a huge smile on his face.

"Thought you two could hide it from us, huh?" the short todd remarked smugly. "We know. We all know."

"You know?!" they asked shocked. "Oh no."

"Yep, so congratulations Judy for making a decent mammal out of this jerk," Finnick teased.

Nick felt mildly insulted but smirked anyway. Judy's ears practically glowed red in embarrassment. One by one their coworkers came forward to echo Finnick's well wishes.
