Judy wobbled into the apartment carrying the box of pizza as Nick chuckled.
"Need a paw?" Nick offered, setting the remote down as Judy placed the box on the table before them opening it. Judy pulled a slice from the box, folding it in half. Nick came back with two glasses unscrewing the bottle pouring two cups full of soda as the sat down munching of their slices.
"You find a good movie to watch?" Judy asked taking a bite, cheese pulling and snapping as the two watched the movie. it was some B-Movie Sci-Fi flick as Nick took a sip of cola washing down the pizza.
"Man, this movie is cheesy, almost as cheesy as this pizza" Judy explained as Nick smirked.
"You want cheesy, you should watch Slashaway, that is the definition of cheese, but it's a guilty pleasure" Nick admitted as Judy looked at him confused.
"Slashaway, you talked about that before?" Judy asked as Nick took another sip of cola before looking at her.
"Only one of the best film series ever made, it's a slasher anthology series that has produced some of the most creative movie killers ever" Nick explained as Judy smirked.
"How cheesy is it?" Judy asked taking another bite of pizza as Nick told her the first few films were filmed by a group of friends with a camera and little budget, and while the films were poorly made the stories were good and had a cult following as a straight to video series.
"that's the one with 20 movies in the series?" Judy asked as Nick smirked.
"24, not including spinoff, but you don't watch horror movies" Nick replied finishing his slice grabbing another as Judy looked at him.
"Strange an officer willing to risk her life to protect people in real danger is too scared to watch a slasher flick" Nick joked as Judy pouted.
"I'm not scared, I just don't see the hype of guts and gore" Judy explained never comprehending the hype behind these movies.
"Pop it in, you speak so highly of it, plus like you said it's cheesy" Judy defended getting a glance from Nick who set his slice back in the box.
"Really, you want to watch it," Nick said feeling his words sparked her defensive state. she was fully determined to watch the film to prove she could handle it. Nick got up
walking to the kitchen washing his paws. afterward, he went back to his room carrying a jewel DVD case containing a Zoo-Ray disc.
"Slashaway 20, it basically serves as a reboot and retelling of the original trilogy, and it's pretty tame, even by slasher standards" Nick informed as Judy looked at him.
"What do I look like, show me the original films first, I want the full experience" Judy demanded as Nick smirked heading back. It was obvious she was the shot caller between them.
"Yes Ma'am" Nick jokingly said coming back carrying a DVD box set with the first 19 films as Judy looked amazed as Nick pulled out one of the cases from the set. Nick walked to the Zoo-Ray player placing the disc for Slashaway 1 in as he sat back with Judy as the titles ran to an 80's synth soundtrack.
"Man this film was poorly shot, you can see the glare" Judy added taking another bite of the pizza.
"And on top, it doesn't pick up till the last third" Nick added as Judy punched his shoulder.
"Spoilers" Judy called out as the two watched the film. The two continued watching the story with a bare-bones plot.
"Damn Nick called out as a piece of mushroom coated in cheese landed on his uniform shirt, Nick reached for a napkin wiping the shirt afraid it would stain.
"I have t throw this in the wash before it stains" Nick stated undoing his shirt as he got up walking to the washing machine. Nick tossed his blue shirt in closing the door and applying the soap. finishing the pizza, Judy sipped her cup picking up the bottle cola.
"You want the last bit of soda?" Judy offered to Nick heading back to the sofa bare-chested as he shook his head.
Judy nearly dropped the bottle in shock of seeing Nick topless as it hit the ground rolling. Judy was so relieved she left the cap on as Nick picked up the bottle handing it to her.
"Thanks, it must've slipped," Judy said covering her held the huge bottle with both paws, unscrewing the cap and tilting it up.
"Whoa, go Judy" Nick cheered seeing her chug the last bit of cola before she let out a loud belch that could rival a lion's as Nick sat there wide-jawed. judy quickly covered her mouth embarrassed as Nick clapped.
"Nice one, could you be any more awesome" Nick simply replied as she blushed seeing Nick shift his view back to the film. Judy sat there watching the film with her paws in her lap. she was trying to watch the movies but kept glancing at Nick's chest, his trim abdomen, and his bright red fur before smacking herself.
"Come on Jude, he's your best friend, you should not think of him in that way," Judy told her subconscious turning back to the movie seeing a pair of wolves walking thru the woods.
"Then again, it's not like he isn't handsome, someone like Nick would have no trouble getting a girlfriend, with that fine body and his smooth personality he could easily swipe a girl of their paws.
"Wait, what if he actually does get a girlfriend?" Judy asked herself before shaking her head. Why should she care about Nick's love life, if anything she should be happy if he finds someone yet the thought made her stomach sour. the idea of Nick smooching it up with another girl disturbed Judy for some reason she could not explain.
"I Don't like him," Judy thought to herself in defense, using reason to determine all the reasons. besides they were too different, he was a city fox and she was a bunny from the countryside, they were complete opposites, Judy would have to crazy to think it could work between them as she was sweating nervously.
"Hey Judy, you okay?" Nick asked seeing the red-faced Bunny as she turned away.
"I'm fine!" She exclaimed I'm just a little hot" Judy replied tugging the collar of her shirt nervously. Judy rarely got nervous, she was always confident but now she was breathing deep shaking.
Judy was shaking as various thoughts were circling In her head and she did not know how to handle them. her stomach tangling into a massive knot. it was hard to breathe. what was she feeling and why now. for the first time, Judy didn't know what to do shaking back and forth. Nick saw this but chalked it up to the movie ironically being too intense for her.
"Well, it looks like a certain bunny can't handle her films" Nick joked seeing her foot thump in a fast motion as Judy glared it him with eyes that sent a shiver down Nick's spine as she pounced on him.
"You just think you know everything don't you Nick, that I'm some dumb country bunny don't you" Judy exclaimed as Nick was actually scared of her outburst for a second as she was so close their faces were practically touching and he could feel her breath.
"Go ahead Nick, laugh at me all you want, I'm do caring about you think of me" Judy replied in her frenzied state as Nick looked at her.
"Judy where is this com-Mpph" Nick's words were cut off by a pair of small lips pressing against is as the small rabbit let herself fall limp on him.
