Judy lay on her apartment floor, it was June 30th, Thursday. It was 6:00 PM, Nick and Judy had been playing a "Monopoly." They were off work at this time, and Nick and Judy always hung out after work. Monopoly was one of their favorites. Except for the fact Nick cheats giving himself extra money. Nick had run out to grab some Animalese. It was very good, another one of their favorite foods to eat. He had been out for a little while and it was almost time for him to be back.

Her thoughts were answered by a knock on the door. She opened smiling to see Nick standing with sacks full of food. She grabbed them greedily. Nick chuckled, "Hungry carrots?" "Yes, starving!" Nick sat down on the floor close to her, "I got our favorites, I got rice, noodles, and crickets. While I got you, rice, noodles, carrots and celery. And some veggies to share AND a 52 ounce drink!" Wow he went all out. Nick had a lot of money because of his con artist ways. Which was actually pretty awesome. "Looks great Nick!" She mumbled as she took a bite. Her taste buds instantly loved the food, giving her a sensation she loved. The veggies mixed with rice and noodles was amazing. Absolutely heaven.

"Thanks Nick!" She spoke swallowing a mouthful. She leaned back on Nick's side as he ate. She listened to the munching as they sat there enjoying their food. She did not lick crickets, and the way Nick munched on them was gross, but he enjoyed them so whatever. All of their wounds were healing nicely. Her apartment was rather quiet at this point. Her neighbors at this moment were shopping or something. They weren't there. They continued to feast, sipping the drink they shared together.

As they ate, Judy's phone rang. Her parents! She answered the phone, keeping Nick out of the picture. They hadn't met Nick and she wanted it to be a surprise for when she and Nick went to visit. "Hey Jude the dude," Her father talked happily. "Hey Dad, Mom! How are you guys." Nick snickered, "Jude the dude? Ahhaha." She put a finger to her lips, shushing Nick, "Who was that sweetie?" Judy scowled at Nick, who in return gave her a sly smile. "That Mom and Dad, is my friend Nick!" "Oh the one you talked about, let me see him!" They looked at the corner of the screen to see if they could catch a glimpse. "No, we will come up next week." Judy's parents frowned a little, but brightened up fast. "Yes the 4th of July, come up early and we can spend the day, meet your friend, and watch fireworks. It will be great!" "Sounds great!" Judy finished, "See you guys later!"

She hung up the phone, Nick raised his eyebrow. "Friend?" Judy laughed, "Yes, my parents don't know you are my mate yet and I won't tell them till we get there. Its next Monday and then they will know. I can't say you are my mate on the phone?" The corner of Nick's mouth lifted up, as a smile appeared. "Ya they can't know you are my mate yet." He jumped forward grabbing her in his arms. He bent over her face, she giggled, "Nick, stop!" She pushed his chest, kicking him away. "Save it for some other time." He nodded, "Or.." He jumped kissing her on the lips then pulled away fast. Her cheeks heated. "Your so cute when you blush!" That made her blush harder as she punched him in the arm. This guy was the best.

They sat and looked at each other, then continued to eat. Once they finished eating, they started to play their board game again.

Nick kept getting the best numbers, going around the board, the money rolling in. This made Judy very frustrated. "How in Zootopia's name do you keep getting these numbers!" He smiled to reveal in his hands the dice he was using. They were loaded! "WHAT!" She screamed, "You cheat!" Nick laughed loudly. "You know you love it!" She jumped on him, they wrestled around the room messing up the board game. They continued to roll on the floor.

Then a loud knock on the wall happened. They looked up from wrestling to hear, "HEY QUIET DOWN!" Followed by an argument. Nick and Judy looked at each other and laughed. Life was good!
