Figuring us out
"Zulu-77 from control," Came a familiar cheetah's voice over the speaker. Judy beamed as she reached over, beating her partner to the punch. She stuck her tongue out teasingly to the other officer and smirked as she keyed up the mike.
"Zulu-77 here, what's up Benny?" Judy asked
"Hey Judy, we got reports of some kind of unlicensed street vendor over by Mystic springs oasis, would you and the wild one mind heading over to check it out?" Benny requested.
"Of course! A certain someone is still nursing a hangover from last night, maybe we can swing by the oasis for some meditation!" Judy said as she her partner a wink. Enjoying the fact that a certain someone had been sitting in the corner with a pair of patrol aviators while nursing a coffee all day. "You can show us 10-51!"
"10-26, Zulu-77 is 10-51, control clear!"
"Ugh, Benny why do you do these terrible things to me?" Trisha asked as she sipped at her coffee. The brown bunny looked over at Judy who was beaming happily, "And why do we have to take all the calls in the brightest of districts?!"
"Awww, come on! The sun is good for you!" Judy offered as she began to maneuver the ZPD cruiser down the street.
"No, the sun is evil and should be destroyed!" Trisha grumbled. The doe then rolled down the window and began to shout at the sky, "You hear me you stupid light bulb!"
"Trisha!" Judy shouted quickly, "Get your butt back in here!"
Judy looked over and her eyes lingered on the rather tight blue pants that Trisha wore. Trisha's uniform was similar to Judy's except she hadn't managed to get a tactical vest from Ty so she was stuck with a standard dark blue vest. Her shirt however was short sleeved, the bunny always complaining about being too hot. Hot was right, Judy couldn't explain why but lately her partner had been in fine form. She had been having trouble looking away sometimes, now for example. Unfortunately Judy didn't manage to look away quick enough as Trisha scrambled back into the car.
"Enjoy the show Hopps?" Trisha asked seductively, the brown doe knowing full well she was being checked out.
Judy could feel her cheeks warm as she tried her best not to blush.
"So uhhh, how was your night?" Judy asked, desperately trying to change the subject.
Trisha burst out laughing at the feeble attempt but decided to just go along with things, "It was fun, Benny and I went to the 10-7 for karaoke night! You should have come!"
"I know I know, I wanted to I was just busy!" Judy said. She had actually wanted to go very badly and spend time with her coworkers. She had just been so bogged down with paper work lately.
"Excuses Excuses!" Trisha teased as she took a swig from her coffee cup.
"Anyone else show up?" Judy asked as she pulled up to a light that had just turned red. She had a feeling they would be stuck for a bit. This particular intersection in the Sahara district was notorious for long lights. Judy made herself comfortable and looked over at her partner.
"Yeah, some mammals from the tactical unit," Trisha said as she put her sunglasses on her head and looked over at her partner, "That Delta guy, cute as he is, just can't take a hint!"
"Awww, sounds like someone is interested in a certain brown beauty!" Judy teased.
"Yeah, not interested!" Trisha giggled as she eyed her partner. Her bright blue eyes looking right into Judy's violet ones.
"Well what are you interested in?" Judy asked, she had been testing these waters out for a while now. Timidly dipping her paws into the pool. Now though seemed like a good times to test the waters.
"Not sure, still figuring things out" Trisha said plainly.
Judy smirked as she looked over at her partner.
"Green Judy," Trisha said and nodded up at the light.
"Oh wow, normally that light sits on red forever!"
"Guess we are just lucky!" Trisha suggested and winced. Only just releasing how much of a stereotype a pair of lucky rabbits were.
A few minutes later the pair pulled up to the parking lot of the Mystic Springs Oasis. Judy had funny memories of this place from when she and Trisha had first started in the ZPD. As Trisha scrambled out of the car and stretched Judy called Benny to inform him they had arrived on scene. Just before finishing her conversation on the radio she spotted a familiar fox across the street leaning against a green car. "Be advised we have visual of the mammal in question, everything is 10-4. We will be standing by though just to make sure there aren't any problems."
Once Benny had acknowledged the transmission Judy closed the door and walked to the back of the squad car where her partner was waiting.
"Freaking serious?! Again?" Trisha asked as she looked over at Nick and shook her head.
"Poor guy gets this a lot," Judy pointed out, "Come on, least we can do is say hi so people can see we made contact."
With that the two officers strolled across the street towards the fox.
"Well well well, if it isn't the luckiest team on the force!" Nick said teasingly as the bunny's approached.
"Har har, tell me Nick do you have like a list of bad jokes laying around somewhere or do you think this junk up on the fly?" Trisha asked as she leaned against the car, letting the ice that kept the fox's pawciscles cold cool her fur.
"Actually I keep a list just in case I see my favorite pair of flat foots," Nick said simply.
"Guess you know why we are here," Judy said quickly as she scanned the side walk. A few mammals passing by eyed the scene. All of them giving not so pleasant looks towards the fox.
"Yes I do, Trisha wanted to come hear my jokes!"
The three enjoyed a good laugh before returning to the task at hand. "Gotta say, impressive response time, only got here about 10 minutes ago, did they say who called me in?"
"Naw, another anonymous tip," Judy explained.
"Gotta watch those sneaky fox's and their pawpsicle! Those hidden sugars are what gets ya!" Trisha pointed out as she eyed one of the cool looking treats. The sun was beating down on the three mammals and Trisha just couldn't take it anymore. "Gods be damned, I'm buying one! Want one Jud? It's too damn hot not to have….wait a tic! Did you call yourself in so we would show up and buy these?!"
Nick had a sly look on his face as he held up his paws, "I have no idea what you are talking about Trisha! I would never take advantage of my favorite ladies in blue!"
Judy began to giggle as she saw through Nick's tricks. He was pretty smart. He wasn't breaking any laws and his business was on the up and up. Every once and a while though the ZPD would get a call about him. They would send a unit out to check up on him, most of the time buying some ice cold treats while they were in the area.
"Oh for the love of…you…I mean…really?" Trisha blurted out as she started at the fox in disbelief.
Nick smiled as he reached over and took the money that was gripped in Trisha's paw. She let the fox take the money and stared at him as he smugly counted out her change and handed it back to her. He then reached over and plucked two bright red pawpsicles from the ice and handed each of the bunnies their cold.
"Thanks Nick!" Judy said happily as she took her own pawpsicle and gave it a quick lick. She then looked over at her partner who was staring down at her own treat. Obviously still trying to figure out how she had been hustled so many times. "And thank you partner for treating me!" Judy said as she strolled over to Trisha and put her paw under Trisha's. She then raised her own paw causing the doe to move the pawpsicle up to her mouth. Trisha looked over at her partner and gave her a weak smile.
"I just realized we have been to his stand about every other day for about 2 months now…"
"My best customers!" Nick announced slyly as he gave the ladies a wink.
"I think I'm gonna cuff him, hold my ice cream!" Trisha said as she started to go for her belt. It was all in fun, Trisha never actually pulled her cuffs out and Nick knew he was safe with his friends.
After joking around for another few minutes the officers excused themselves. Trisha thinking it would not be best for a few officers to be seen loitering in one spot for extended periods. After they said good bye to Nick Judy led Trisha down the sidewalk towards the Springs. Trisha protested at first, wanting to return to the cool confines of the squad card but Judy insisted they needed to work off that sweet snack they had just enjoyed.
As the couple walked down the sidewalks they got a few nods and waves from citizens busy about their business. Judy giving them a bright open mouth smile while Trisha gave them a friendly wave. The two worked well together and were actually quite a pretty site together. Mind you looks could be deceiving. There had been several occasions where preds say an easy score and didn't worry if they were ZPD or not. One pour jackal learned the hard way that while Judy was nimble and had a mean hook Trisha packed a powerful side kick that could break a rib with ease. Together the bunnies were a fierce fighting team.
As the two strolled down the side walk Trisha nodded over to an alleyway which offered the pair some shade. She begged Judy to give her just a few minutes rest. Judy giggled and nodded, allowing her partner a chance to cool off.
Trisha strolled down the alleyway and Judy followed suit. Once the bunnies were in the shade provided by the buildings Judy detected the temp actually did drop off slightly. It wasn't cold, but at least it was no longer scorching. Judy had been lost in her thoughts and hadn't exactly been paying attention to Trisha.
Judy felt a pair of brown paws grab her and suddenly push her against one of the walls to the alleyway. For a split second Judy thought she was being attacked by some unseen assailant. When she looked straight ahead though she was it was her partner that now had Judy pinned. Pinned wasn't exactly the best word though. One paw was around Judy's wrist and holding her paw above her head while Trisha's other arm was wrapped around Judy's waist.
"Trisha, what's going on?" Judy asked in surprise. Her bright purple eyes scanning the brown doe in front of her.
"Should be asking you that," Trisha whispered playfully as she pressed her body against Judy. She couldn't explain it but this felt so right. The feeling of the small brown doe against her was driving her mad. Judy instinctively put her free arm on Trisha's shoulder and began to run a paw over the back of Trisha's head, her digits digging into the soft brown fur.
"I…I think we are...this…this is." Judy couldn't put what was going on into words.
"How about I help you out?" Trisha asked as she leaned close and pressed her lips to Judy's. The bunnies shared a passionate kiss for a few minutes. Their lips parting almost instantly as their tongues began to wrap around one another. Trisha pulled away from Judy's lips and then began to gently kiss at her gray cheeks. Slowly moving down to Judy's neck.
"Oh my gosh I have wanted this!" Judy admitted as she pulled Trisha closer.
"You sure about that?" Trisha asked in between kisses.
"Ever since we became partners! I can't explain it, I just..."Judy moaned as she let her eye lids droop. The feelings coursing through her were amazing. She soon gave in to her urges and let her emotions run free.
"You can't have both you know!" Trisha whispered.
"What do you mean?" Judy asked in surprise.
"You either be with me or let me be with another!"
"What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I am talking about!" Trisha growled into Judy's ears as her paw began to unlatch Judy's duty belt. The gray doe offered no resistance, the way she began to grind her body against Trisha's just spurred the brown bunny on.
"No I don't!"
"Maybe this will help you decide!" Trisha moaned as she finally got Judy's belt undone and slowly reached for the zipper. Judy didn't stop Trisha. No, she wanted this. She had always wanted this. Right? Then why did this feel so strange?
"Wait! Wait! WAIT!"
Judy's eyes shot open. She wasn't in some alleyway in Sahara Square, she wasn't in uniform, and she wasn't partners with Trisha. No that's right, she was partners with Nick. She had always been partners with him. He was the one she was dating!
"Then why is she sleeping right next to you?" Judy's inner voice asked. Judy had thought the figure laying in front of her was Nick but it wasn't until her eyes adjusted and her brain started waking up did she realize her fox was absent. Instead a very beautiful brown bunny was curled up, one of her paws intertwined with Judy's.
"What was that….?" Judy let out in a soft whisper.
Trisha's nose scrunched and she let out a soft groan. "Mmmmm…what?"
"Oh shit she is a light sleeper?" Judy's inner voice shouted. Judy's eyes went wide as she willed Trisha to go back to sleep. It was no use though as the brown doe began to stir.
Trisha slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times. Her bright blue eyes looking directly at Judy.
"Hi..." Judy said nervously. The image of ZPD Trisha still in her mind.
Trisha stared at Judy for a moment and then leaned forward.
"Oh gosh is she gonna kiss me?! Was that a dream? What's real? Do I stop her?" Judy thought in a panic. However a second later she felt Trisha's nose gently press against her own.
"Boop…"Trisha whispered playfully and then scooted back a bit.
Judy let out a relieved sigh.
Trisha's expression began to change. Her sleepy happy self soon was replaced by a bunny deep in thought. It must have had something to do with Judy too because of the way her bright blue eyes were staring at her.
"What's wrong?" Judy asked sweetly as she gave Trisha's paw a squeeze. Trisha scooted around a little to get comfortable and then took in a deep breath.
"What happened last night?" She asked softly. Her eyes seemed glossy, like she was on the verge of tears.
"I don't know wha-"
"Was it because of me and Delta?"
"No!" Judy said defensively.
A tear rolled down Trisha's cheek, "Please don't lie…"
It was Judy's turn to take a deep breath as she tried to look for the words she wanted to use. She decided she owed Trisha the truth. "Yes...When I saw him holding you I ju-"
"I had a feeling you had scene that..." Trisha asked in surprise.
"Sharp Bunny!" Judy's inner voice mimicked Nick.
"Yeah, sorry, I should have knocked first. I came around the corner and saw you two and then backed out of the room…" Judy admitted, deciding she owed her friend the truth.
Trisha remained silent as she looked down at Judy and then back into her eyes. Silence remained between the two does for a few more seconds before Judy decided to break the tension.
"I'm sorry what happened last night..."Judy said softly.
"Don't be, it was just surprising is all," Trisha said sweetly as she slowly reached over with her free paw and rubbed Judy's cheek. It wasn't just a sign of affection, it was also a kind of forgiveness. Telling Judy that the brown bunny still cared. How much she cared for Judy was now the big question. Judy wanted to know so badly how things were going to be now between the two but should couldn't figure out how to started that conversation. "I think though we need to talk..."
Okay, so that is how to start that conversation.
"About us?" Judy asked. She couldn't believe she had just used those words as she stared at the doe in front of her. Never in a million years did she think she would be part of a conversation like this.
"About us," Trisha nodded firmly. The two remained lying next to one another, neither of them wanting to leave from their current spot. Judy however had to admit this felt somewhat awkward. She had Nick now and laying like this felt odd. Would he be ok with it? Would he be angry at her? Was he already upset about what had transpired last night?
"Where do we even start?" Judy asked nervously.
Trisha gave Judy a warm smile, "Well first off we start with a bit more of a perky attitude I think! Come on Judy! Where is that bubbly personality we all know and love?"
"It's still waking up!" Judy teased as the girls began to laugh. "Just a little nervous is all, never really been in this kind of situation before..."
"Oh and I have?!" Trisha blurted out, "Yeah no! This is completely new to me too! I have never even had a relationship till I got to this city!"
"What? The way you act?"
"Oh and how do I act huh?" Trisha growled. Judy had a hard time figuring out if Trisha was joking or not. She decided to tread carefully.
"Flirtatious?" Judy decided it was the best word.
"Okay yeah, that is pretty accurate!" Trisha said as she stuck out her tongue. The two began to giggle a little and the mood lightened. "How about this, we just say what we are to each other…and before you give me that look that's already on your face I think it's important to know where we stand with one another!"
"As long as I am not going first!" Judy chuckled, thinking it would probably be best to let Trisha go first so she could hear what the brown bunny was thinking.
"The famous Judy Hopps sounds kinda scared, I like it!"
"So what am I?" Judy asked, anxious to hear Trisha's answers. This wasn't going to exactly change anything. Judy had no intention of losing what she had with Nick and she could tell Trisha wouldn't try to get between them. In fact it had been her own behavior last night that brought things into question. She focused on Trisha and did her best not to think about the night before.
"Okay, ground rules!" Trisha said as she started to sit up in bed. The brown bunny maneuvered herself so she was now sitting against the pillows that rested against the headboard. She then pulled the still drowsy Judy up so the bunny was resting her head on Trisha's chest. Judy couldn't begin to describe how comfortable she felt. There was nothing sexual or perverse about it, she enjoyed the softness of her friends chest and allowed herself to be held. Is this what it would be like if she had made a different choice so far back? Trisha wrapped an arm around Judy's shoulder and grabbed one of Judy's paws while she rested the other on her leg. Judy however instinctively reached out and scooped the free paw up and gave her friend a gentle squeeze. Judy loved things like this. Thought Trisha was no Nick, she was a very close second, the thought caused more confusion for her than anything.
"Ground rules..."Judy repeated as she let her eye lids drooped and enjoyed just being held.
"No lying, not even little ones to protect feelings," Trisha began to make a list.
"Okay, no lying," Judy agreed.
"No unanswered questions."
"Answer all questions."
"Finally, no matter what, we are still friends okay? If you stop talking to me after this I swear I will go to the ZPD every day to bug you!"
"While I go to the 10-7 every night just to see that smile of yours," Judy whispered with a smirk.
"Awwwwww, you're a big old dork! You and Nick truly are perfect for one another!" Trisha complimented Judy as she nuzzled her chin into the top of the gray does head.
"So you first," Judy reminded Trisha, still wanting to hear her friends answer.
"What do you want to know?" Trisha asked, there was no hesitation or anxiousness in her voice. Judy felt a little more confident because of that.
"What am I to you?" Judy asked nervously. The way the two were sitting didn't allow Judy an easy way of looking right at Trisha. This was ok though, just being held was enough.
"You are Judy," Trisha began softly as she whispered the sweet words into Judy's ears, "I wish I could say you are MY Judy but….you aren't. That's ok though!" Trisha began. She gave Judy a small squeeze at the last part. "I really wish I had found you sooner, or Nick wasn't interested, or you were into chicks….but you aren't and I am ok with that! What you are to me though is a very dear friend. I know we only just met but it feels like I have known you for a while…mainly because I watched all the interviews and read all the magazines..."
"Stalker," Judy whispered playfully which got Trisha giggling.
"I prefer aggressive following!" Trisha shot back as she gave Judy a kiss on the head. The feeling of Trisha's soft lips made Judy blush slightly.
""I prefer a restraining order!"
"Keep it up!" Trisha grumbled as she let go of Judy's paw and gave the gray bunny a quick poke in the ribs. Judy gasped at the poking and began to squirm. Trisha held her close thought and soon Judy found herself calming down. She snuggled back into her friend.
"I will be honest Judy, when you told me about how Nick turned you down I thought I had a chance, a really good chance! That night at the 10-7 when we kissed…I thought that maybe...well...I don't know that maybe you would want to go home with me…" This sudden revelation from Trisha surprised Judy. She hadn't necessarily thought about it that way. She then realized that Trisha had been aware of Nick shooting her down and telling her to wait. What she hadn't been aware of was all the close calls: the near kisses, the moments where they just looked into one another's eyes, the way they had talked. No. Trisha had not been made aware of any of that.
"And not like in a crazy strap you down kind of way, but in a just sleep together and wake up in one anothers-whats up?" Trisha had begun again but was cut off by Judy who suddenly sat up and turned to look at Trisha, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"This was my fault!" Judy admitted as she shook her head.
Trisha stretched her paw to Judy's mouth and placed a digit against the gray doe's lips. Quieting her before things got out of hand.
"Another new rule!" Trisha started to say. Judy looked directly at her friend, "No sad crying!"
Judy's shoulder shook as she held in a laugh. She then nodded as she looked right into Trisha's bright blue eyes.
"Your turn!"
Judy took in a deep breath. Her nerves starting to shake. The night howler mixing around inside her. She wanted to run. She wanted to just get out of there. Anything to avoid this conversation. She then looked back at Trisha. She had to be brave. She couldn't let the night howler take control of her all the time. She shunned all negative thoughts from her mind.
"Can…can I just do one thing?" Judy asked, her voice still shaky.
Trisha tilted her head slightly but gave Judy a warm smile, "What's up cutie?"
"Just…um...it's something that will keep me calm!" Judy said as she crawled towards Trisha. She then placed a paw on the brown bunny's shoulder and gently pushed Trisha back against the pillow. Trisha gave no resistance and allowed herself to be handled. She did however raise her ears in curious concern. Judy rested her head on Trisha's shoulder and placed a paw under her pillow. The other paw however reached down towards Trisha's waist band.
"What are you doing?" Trisha asked nervously as she grabbed Judy's wrist.
"Please it's not like that…it's just…I need to do something!" Judy explained as she looked directly into Trisha's eyes. The Blue gazed back into purple as the bunnies remained still for a moment. Judy felt Trisha's grip loosen. Judy then slowly grabbed the bottom of Trisha's shirt and gently slid her paw underneath.
Trisha's fur was so very soft and warm, it was wonderful to feel! Judy spread her digits out as she buried her paw in the brown fur of Trisha's stomach. She then pulled the brown doe closer and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Thank you, this helps..." Judy whispered. She couldn't explain it but the feeling of Trisha's fur did calm her. She had down this to Nick once before. She had never realized it but she loved the feeling of fur in her paws. The warmth it gave off and the tickling feeling she would get. Something about it all just felt right.
"Just watch where the paw goes missy!" Trisha teased. Judy stole a glance and realized that Trisha's cheeks were bright red as the bunny blushed.
"Would you stop me?" Judy asked playfully.
"No and that's the problem!"
"You are Trisha, "Judy began, deciding to dive right in, "You are the brown bunny I got jealous of the first time we met! When I saw you hug Nick I wanted to floor you!"
Trisha busted out laughing at the comment. "Oh gosh, really?"
Judy nodded, "But then I saw the way you looked at me! No one had ever looked at me that way! Not even Nick! The night we met was the night I was shot down. It was such a weird night for me. Though I didn't get my fox I still got to meet you and for that I will always be grateful."
"That's right! Your first date! He was such an idiot!"
"I know right!"
"Glad he finally came to his senses!"
"Really? Are you really glad?" Judy asked as she stopped rubbing her paw through Trisha's fur.
"Yes, I am glad. Honestly I am! You two are made for each other! Plus he isn't all bad, I mean he did stay with you during the whole mammal napping thing right?" Trisha said honestly. Judy could tell the words were truthful and it made her heart swell with joy.
"Yeah he did, even when the counter was coming down…he never left" Judy whispered.
"Think that's a sign Judy," Trisha said in an equally soft tone.
"So where does that leave us?" Judy asked softly. Wanting to just get to the point of all this.
"Judy I care about you, I know we haven't known each other very long but it just happens that way sometimes! I will always care about you but that means I care enough to know you are with Nick. I am happy enough being your friend," Trisha said quickly. Judy could tell the words hurt Trisha but she was still glad to hear them.
"Best friend," Judy corrected her which caused Trisha to shake with joy. "I care about you too Trisha, and I know I will always care for you. It was wrong of me to get jealous. If you want to date Delta you should date him. You really should!"
"We shall see, I may just date him to get to Atom!" Trisha teased and the girls shared another laugh.
"Oh you can't date Atom! I am saving him for when Nick gets bored with me!"
"I didn't hear you call dibs!" Trisha pointed out.
"Dibs!"
"No it doesn't work that way!" Trisha shot back.
"Says who?" Judy asked quickly as she sat up in bed. She looked down at Trisha and her eyes went down to the does exposed stomach. Her own gray paw clashing with the brown and light fur of the doe's body.
"Says me!" Trisha said as she stuck her tongue out.
"Keep that tongue stuck out and you will regret it?" Judy said evilly.
"Yeah what are ya gonna do about it?" Trisha asked with her tongue still out past her lips, making her words sound funny.
The two bunnies fell silent as Judy looked down at Trisha. The beautiful brown doe was a sight to behold.
"Sadly nothing..."Judy said softly.
Trisha had a disappointed but understanding tone. "Too bad...wouldn't of minded a good morning smooch!"
"Sorry but that's kinda reserved for a certain fox now," Judy said playfully.
"Yeah I know," Trisha said with a pensive look. "Wouldn't have accepted it anyways. Made a promise to that dumb fox of yours."
"Well my ears are burning," Nick said as he knocked at the open door and strolled in
Both bunnies looked over at the approaching fox. Judy beamed and leapt from the bed. Nick caught her and let out a pleased noise as she brought her lips to his.
"So what were you two talking about?" Nick asked as he wrapped an arm around Judy's waist and pulled her close.
"Nothing!" The bunnies said in unison.
Nick looked over at Trisha who gave him an innocent smile as she stretched her arms, puffing her chest out. This had the desired effect on Nick as he quickly looked away and back at Judy.
"They always said canines were loyal," Trisha thought to herself.
"Well if you two aren't gonna spill the beans then I guess its time to head downstairs. Your parents and Tammy have a table for breakfast and they sent me up to get you two going."
"hehehe, get us going!" Trisha chuckled.
"Really?" Nick asked as he looked back at the brown doe who grinned.
Judy meanwhile nuzzled into Nick who still held the bunny in his good arm. She let out a soft purring noise which brought Nick's attention back to her.
"mmmm, five more minutes?" Judy asked as she closed her eyes, enjoying just being held in Nick's arms.
"Screw that I am starving!" Trisha said as she jumped from the bed and passed the couple. Trisha gave Judy a playful pat on the butt which caused the doe to squeal in surprise.
"Come on Carrots, let's get some grub," Nick said softly as he gave Judy a kiss on the top of her head, just between her ears.
Nick began to carry Judy out of the bed room when he froze and had an odd look on his face.
"Nick?" Judy asked as she looked into his bright emerald eyes, a look of confusion on the fox's face. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing…"Nick began, almost sounding depressed. "Just had the urge to say a really good pun for no reason."
"You're weird," Judy whispered as she reached up and gave him a gentle peck on the cheek.
"Yeah…guess I am," Nick muttered as he continued to carry his bunny out. Trisha was already long gone. Having chosen to take the elevator and leave Nick and Judy to themselves. Nick however was adamant on getting Judy downstairs so they didn't linger in the hotel room. The whole while Nick continued to have an odd look on his face, as if he were missing something.
Nick shrugged the feelings aside as the two exited the hotel room, leaving the scene rather pun free.
Special Thanks to Fox in the hen house for keeping me in check and for the amazing pun at the end! Also thanks for helping me through some rather troubling times during this chapter.
I hope this puts to rest the Trisha and Judy questions. We can now see what they are: Best friends! Like super best friends!
10/20/17: Geeze! Still getting threats about this one. Got rid of the problem. Ya'll just go about your reading.
