Zootopia - Springtime Circumstances
Chapter 10 – Red fox in disguise (POV Nick)
When Judy and I were working undercover, we usually disguised ourselves when we were among people. I hated that. That was the only part of my job I didn´t have fun with, excluding paperwork. Judy loved that on the other hand, she liked wearing fancy dresses or elegant smoking's, becoming one with the background by wearing dark clothing or whatever.
But for today, she took it to a new level. She wanted to paint my whole fur black and gray with water-soluble colors. I didn´t really believe her at first, when she argued that I might not wear something too elegant or covering in a night club, but sadly she had sort of a point with that.
Max agreed instantly with her of course, because -suddenly- he knew from his sister, that Judy was exactly right with that.
I was sure they all just wanted to troll me, but Judy wasn´t to be stopped anymore. I never knew about it, but we actually had water-soluble fur color in the supply chamber for undercover work, and she went to get it as soon as Wolfheart and Fangmeyer supported her with that stupid plan.
"What´s wrong with black and gray?" Max asked me with a fake-offended, ironic grin, referring to his own fur color obviously, and Daniel wasn´t any better at motivating me.
"At least, nobody can ever notice me that way…" I sighed to change the topic, "I bet not even the Chief will get it later…"
"I think we should get the girls from the administration to see this!" Daniel suggested, still amused about it.
"I dare you!" I warned, pointing at him with an evil look.
"Good idea!" Max agreed with him, before he straightly went for the door and left, before anyone could stop him.
Daniel just kept on laughing in amusement. It actually was a rare sight seeing him laughing like that, so I decided to let him have it and hoped Wolfheart wasn´t meaning it.
Judy came back just half a minute later, having a box with a whole selection of color sprays in her hands.
"Oh God, please no!" I tried avoiding it, but I knew it was hopeless.
"Be a good boy and do what I say!" she commanded ironically, but with a slightly devilish grin on her face.
"You´re enjoying that, aren't you?"
"A little…" she grinned back, as I kissed her forehead once again.
"Go to the sink over there and get out of your uniform!"
"Okay…" I sighed lazily, but went on my way anyways.
Fangmeyer still grinned at me.
"You have him under total control, as it seems!" he remarked, and she just nodded with a proud grin.
"You mind if I take a few photos for the yearbook?" he asked her then, which just made her shook her head and smile even wider, "No no, go ahead!" she laughed.
"I swear, you´re all going to pay for this one day!"
Just as I said that, I heard Wolfheart´s voice and a few female giggles from the hallway. I just had finished undressing and was standing just in boxer-shorts in front of the mirror above our little sink. Judy already had the first color spray in her hands.
"For Fucks sake!" I cursed, "Daniel!" I told him low but hastily, as the door was opened already, „Stop them!"
Judy in the meanwhile couldn´t stop herself from laughing and giggling loudly. That was actually too adorable to be mad at her.
Luckily, the sink was behind the door and therefore not visible if you weren't inside the room. Unluckily, Daniel wasn´t helping me, he pointed at me with a giant grin.
"Where is he?" one of the noticeably excited girls asked, rushing the room as quickly as possible.
"Wolfheart, I hate you!" I told him, resting my head on my paw in annoyance. The girls now really started laughing in excitement, as they witnessed, how Judy started making a gray mess out of my white chest fur.
"My, my! He´s looking good though!" Jennifer giggled. As a wolf, she was the only canine among the little crowd Max had gathered.
"Do you do that more often?" Maria asked us with great interest.
"Undercover work, yes. That, no!" I replied with a sigh.
"Judy, that is looking like it´s fun! Can I do a few sprays on him too?" she asked ironically. Judy almost drove me mad with pretending to actually let them have a go as well. Maria was a Bunny too, and she certainly was an old classmate from Judy, so they got along pretty well with each other. No wonder Judy was this relaxed about it.
"What did I tell you, Nicky! I told you they liked it, you´re one handsome motherfucker!"
"What´s up with those photos for the yearbook now?" Daniel repeated his joke for the others, just as Judy started spraying the first black lines onto my right side and arm.
"Shut up, Fangmeyer! Or I personally paint you in pink and green next time I see you!"
"Don´t be so mad about it, Nicky!" Wolfheart suggested lightheartedly, as the others kept on laughing for a while, "You´re really not looking that bad!"
I had to admit, that it covered the natural red of my fur really good, and it even looked very realistic and believable. It went faster than I expected as well, just after about two minutes Judy asked me to turn around and began spraying my back as well.
"Nick, have you been working out?" Jennifer asked me once again.
I just ignored it with another little sigh.
"I was just about to say it!" Max chuckled, "Such a show off!"
Judy asked me to turn around again and get on my knees this time, so she could do my head as well. She told me to close my eyes for a second and get over with it as soon as possible. There were just the ears and my neck left, and my whole upper buddy was black and gray already.
When I stood up again, I admired my new looks in the mirror and had to confess, that it actually looked really believable. Even the audience was impressed.
"You surely are good at that!" I complimented her, to change the topic a little. That wasn't helping.
"We´re not finished yet!" she told me with a smile, pointing at my legs and feet relentlessly.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked in an overacted way, "A handstand?"
"Yes please!" the other bunny lady supported my suggestion with an excited giggle.
I just stood there, arms crossed, and kept on shaking my head.
"Get out of our freaking office already!" I told them, but in a not too mad tone.
"Ow!" Jennifer giggled teasingly, but actually respected my order.
"Can I keep watching?" Max asked, as the girls already made their ways out of the room again.
"No, you idiot! I´m so going to pay you back for this!"
He and Daniel kept on standing there for another little moment, probably just to finish off the last nerves I had left, but then they finally left us alone and followed the girls out of the room, before closing the door behind them.
"Goddammit, Carrots" I sighed, but with a little smile. I just couldn´t be mad at her.
"You´re so adorable" she giggled, "But you look better in red and white, don't worry!" she told me, as she began spraying my feet in gray. Then she began ruining my tail.
"You want gray at the tip?" she asked me ironically, without listening to me anyways. When she was done with that too, she just stood in front of me, crossed her arms and smiled at me mischievously.
"Oh come on! Really? What is the point of that?"
"That" she grinned, "Is for me!"
"I´m going to wash that out as soon as this is over, you know that?"
"Get those shorts down already!" she commanded, not irritated by my moaning at all, "And it hast to look realistic, no matter what happens!" she added whispering, shaking her spray can in anticipation.
"Get it over with already!" I sighed once more, as she began finishing her work.
POV Judy
I really had fun doing that. I saved the best part for the end of course, and Nick really looked a little unnerved because of it. But it worked, he really wasn´t to be recognized anymore.
When I was done with recoloring him, he went to the little drawer in our office and got himself some regular street clothing, before he came back to the mirror and admired his new looks.
"Still looking handsome!" I commented, while gliding me paws over the fur on his arms, "And it stays really good!"
"Great…" he cheered ironically, staring deeply into my eyes, "You know I´m getting my revenge for that, don't you?"
"I can live with that…"
"I want to test the effect of this!" he stated then, pretty motivated all over sudden, "I need to talk to the chief anyways…"
He kissed me one more time, then he carried me over to my desk, sat me down onto my chair and took another sip of his coffee.
"Be right back!" he announced, as he went for the door.
"Who are you?" I immediately heard a happy and ironic voice from the hallway, "And what were you doing in Nicks office?"
"Yeah, yeah, Wolfheart!" Nick replied him, "keep on rubbing it in…"
Because of that and the female giggling outside, I decided to join them once more.
When I got there, Nick already was on his way towards the Chief´s office, so I stopped at the other girls with a big smile. They were still giggling about it.
"He´s looking good though!" Jennifer told me, "Didn´t know he was this handsome!"
"Sexy, isn´t he?"
"You two really are the hottest cops around!" Bia shyly told me with a smile.
"Haha, thank you!" I replied to the always friendly and good-hearted cheetah. Bia and Benji were the cutest couple I´ve ever seen, and since she was working here too, in the administration, she saw him at work every day. We all really were happy for them. And I really liked her too, she was kind, happy, smooth and cuddly, just like him.
POV Nick
I left the laughing colleagues behind me and went straight for the Chief´s office. Now, since I was no red fox anymore and not clothed in my police uniform either, I was curious if he would get it on his own. I was wearing dark-blue trousers and a white muscle-shirt. Pretty much all that was left of me, where my green eyes and my voice as it felt like.
I knocked on his door and waited for him to say something.
"Come in!" he just told me, before I opened the door carefully and began acting: "Excuse me, where do I find the office of Officer Nick Wilde please?" I asked him plainly, and he surely looked a little irritated.
"What do you need him for? He´s working on a very important case at the moment, does that have time…"
I suddenly wasn´t able to keep my cool anymore and grinned widely, then he got it.
"Wilde!" he shouted, a little mad now, "What the…?"
"Works pretty well, I would say!" I told him with a chuckle, "It was Judy´s idea to recolor me a little…"
"A little…" he sighed, now more relaxed again, "But yeah…it worked", he confessed.
"What is your tactic?"
"I´m going in early. I´ll talk to Wolfheart´s sister about the circumstances and prepare a camera and a few microphones below the table. I´ll search for a table where I can see them from, but won´t really be noticed either. If I need to, I call Judy for help, who will hopefully be supported by Daniel and Max if needed!"
He nodded confidently, "Sounds good to me! They will help you, don´t even doubt it."
"Let´s hope that lead has something to do with the power cut…" I concluded.
"One more thing, Wilde!" he stopped me, as I was about to leave his office already.
"Yeah?"
"Wolfheart probably wasn´t lying, when he said that you normally really don´t just go there for the drinks. Consider searching for some company to not get suspicious…take your shirt off, if needed" he explained, staying totally serious while saying it, "That really is not an easy place for undercover work…"
"Relax, Chief! I don´t have a problem with that, and neither has Judy!"
"I´m just saying! We finally have a lead and we can´t afford to fail on it now! We are professionals, and you can´t risk to get noticed because it gets a little intimate…"
"Are you speaking from experience?" I asked him with a smug little grin.
"This is not about me today, Wilde!" he retorted.
"Just asking…"
"Shut up and do your job, okay?"
I chuckled a little at the slightly mad looking buffalo, but then I waved it off.
"Don´t worry, Chief!" I told him once more, "I´m good with the ladies, trust me!"
Sorry about the floppy ending! But don´t worry, more is to come very soon!
