Chapter 50 A Movie Night with a Crush

Written by Kittah4

Yes, that Kittah4 who has written the awesomely amazing "Zootopia: Partners" story. Thank you again so much for contributing the big 50th chapter to One Hundred Kisses!


"Open the door!" Judy's voice yelled out from just outside Nick's apartment door.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Jeez, is that your foot, Carrots!?" Nick exclaimed, hurrying away from the microwave and heading to open the door. "If you kick it too many more times it's just going to fly right off the hinges!"

Judy rushed into the apartment, a case of soda tucked under her right arm and a pizza box with a DVD case balanced on it in her left. "I have soda, pizza, and movie!"

"Aw, what is this, a horror movie?" Nick picked up the DVD case and sucked his teeth in distaste. "'Cow Crusher. A mysterious mammal murderer so powerful that he can crush cows in his bare paws.' Really?"

"What, did you want to watch a chick flick with me, you big softie?" Judy pouted at him, setting down the pizza and soda on a table near the couch.

"Okay, don't push it," Nick shook his head and rolled his eyes. "I can watch these schlocky horror movies all night."

"That's more like it!" Judy's nose started sniffing. "Ooh, is that popcorn?"

"What's movie night without popcorn?" Nick asked in a light tone, pouring some into a large bowl for both of them.

Judy sat next to Nick after they prepared their snacks for the movie. She snuggled up just a little to him once the movie started, which got a chuckle out of Nick.

"You need your big strong fox to protect you from the scary movie, widdle bunny?" Nick's tone was clearly mocking. Judy gave him a testy glare, and moved away from him.

"Fine, all you had to say was 'no, I don't want any cuddles'," Judy smirked.

"Oof, I'll have to be more careful what I say next time," Nick laughed.

As the movie wore on, Judy was on the edge of her seat, leaning forward. The murderer was just about to claim his first victim. The innocent, large-eyed cow had no clue as the shadow loomed upon her. She was about to be crushed! Judy stared, enraptured. Nick smirked at her.

"AAAAIEEEEE!" The sound from the TV wailed. Simultaneously, Nick took his over-iced soda glass and pressed it on the back of Judy's neck. She started forward with a shrill gasp and a shiver, her knee coming up and smacking their popcorn bowl, which wobbled around, small bits of popcorn tumbling from it.

"Nick!" Judy screamed, to Nick's immense delight.

The fox started laughing joyfully as the bunny's face scrunched in fury. "Sorry. Couldn't resist."

"Could you make an attempt to be serious?" Judy gave a heavy sigh.

"Oh sorry, no, you're right, this is a very serious movie," Nick's expression became solemn. Judy rolled her eyes.

"Just try to get caught up in it, okay? You'll have more fun," Judy groaned.

"Oh, I'm having plenty of fun," Nick beamed.

As the movie continued, another unaware cow was nervous, but oblivious of the clearly spooky and foggy atmosphere in the house around her. The murderer was in the house with her. "Hello? Is someone there?"

"No, don't open that door..." Judy whispered, shaking her head, bringing her knees up onto the couch. Judy watched in horror as it looked like the cow was going to open the very door the murderer was hiding behind. "Gah!" Judy jumped almost a foot off the couch as Nick's tail swished over the tops of her feet.

"Sorry, Carrots, my tail gets like that sometimes when I'm watching really cliche movies," Nick smugly snapped a bite of the cheese pizza.

"Uh-huh," Judy narrowed her eyes at him. "Nick, will you just watch the carrot-plucking movie?"

"Fine...! If I have to," Nick chuckled warmly. "Don't get your 'hare' out of shape."

"Ugh!" Judy turned her attention to the movie. Suspicious, she gave a glance over to Nick the next time the tension rose. This time, Nick actually looked like he was paying attention, his mouth in a thin line. The desire for revenge blazed in the bunny's brain. The cow in the movie looked like she might be able to defend herself, but...

"URK!" Nick jerked forward as right as the Cow Crusher struck, Judy had taken her own cold glass, lifted up Nick's shirt a bit with her other hand, and shoved it right into Nick's tummy fur. Judy really rubbed it around to Nick's continued light wailing at the chill, then, as his muzzle was bent forward, she leaned over and kissed the side of it.

"Got you, you absolute pain," Judy smirked brightly.

"Woof, that's cold... ooh..." Nick rubbed his tummy. Then, a hand went to his muzzle. "Really, Judy, you were thinking about our little game all this time?"

"No, just saw an opportunity and took it, that's all," Judy sang in an angelic voice.

"I'm 'crushed'," Nick chuckled at her, flicking a handful of popcorn at her. Judy flinched back to defend herself with her paws and giggled.

"Keep letting me get these kisses in on you, and you might be!" Judy laughed. Judy fended off Nick trying to kiss her back until another grisly crushing spelled the end of another innocent cow.

"You know, this really doesn't help with the mood," Nick grumbled, falling over to the couch in defeat.

Judy had to admit, even she saw the ending of the movie coming.

Kiss Count

Nick: 51

Judy: 53


AN: "Yes, it is I, the great Kittah4! Shipper extraordinaire! (Cough). I think I was actually asked more than once to write a chapter for this effort, but I resisted at first. That is, until I finished my own rather ENORMOUS fanfic. Anyway, since I have no excuse anymore, I wrote this little thing from a list of small ideas because I thought it'd be funny. The bunny and the fox must kiss! MANY TIMES! Let it continue!"

Another AN: Thank you again to all the authors contributing to this story, and those who are currently writing chapters or have submitted ideas and artwork for it. You guys are all amazing! My original idea had the story only going for 50 chapters, and I never thought I'd be able to continue posting daily like this. But you, all of you, are the reason why I'm still able to do this.

So here's to another 50 chapters, or however many there wind up being before one of these two lovebirds hit 100.
