Nick and Judy have been inside the library for the last few hours connecting evens and what they got from yesterday.
"so, what do you think could make these marks." Judy said and swiping throw phots of the evidence the found yesterday because they couldn't take it with them. She was laying on the couch Nick somehow got into the library since there last time.
"well, its obvious claws, but they aren't that deep in anything of the wood we saw making me think they were either trying not to get a splinter. Or from what that one family said about being woolly, it could be fake claws, hard to tell." He said swiping throw them as well. He was on the floor doing it because he barely fits on it. They had a shared folder so they can both see them and was also password protected. "maybe well get something else tomorrow." He said. he looked over the wall they have been trying to connect a possible link.
"maybe, it's been a few days since the last vandalize, and the only pattern we know of is that it happens every few days, so it should happen any day now, and we might get something fresh." She said. giving up on looking at the photos and grabbed a chocolate bar and lightly munched on it.
"well, we've been through everything we can from yesterday. What now?" he said also giving up.
Judy was about to say something when her phone rang. "well my family's doing a movie night in a little while." She said.
"what's playing?"
"hum, Cinderella." She said.
"live-action, or original?"
"original."
"I'm in." he said getting up, "unless I'll going to be bomb barded by the tinny army."
"no, when it comes to movies, everyone keeps to themselves. If they behave then self's, then they get popcorn." She explained sitting up.
"oh, so my safety is insured because of popcorn." He said stretching.
"it's not cheap movie theater popcorn that you get from the store. It's the real movie theater popcorn; the smell, the taste, the texture. And for the same price as two larger ones, we can feed everyone here in the warren." She said, "and we can get as much as we won't as long everyone plays nicely through the whole movie." She said.
"really, authentic movie theater popcorn. I'd love to see that." He said.
"5 medium bucket limit." Judy said looking over the bord one more time. "and I think we can call it a day." She then turned off the lamp that was next to the bord.
"works for me, tomorrow we can get more information, and the evidence." He said.
"and how will we do that, you're the only one that can use the bike, and I'm not walking wound knowing you'll be goofing off." She said, unknow to her that Nick has the meter maid mobile hidden on the farm somewhere.
"I have my ways." He said about to grab a chocolate bar, but Judy smacked his paw and pulled the box to her. "hey."
"you ate my last box, this is all for me." She said. "you somehow got it in here without the everyone knowing, so just leave it alone." She said defending her box.
Nick just put up his paws, "you got it. So, when it the movie?"
"hum." She said, "we have thirty minutes from now."
"We should head out and get the drama out of the way of them fighting to see who will get me."
"Really, you think so highly of yourself that you think they're going to fight over you?" she asked.
"well, if Gideon isn't here, then yes they well."
"ok then, let's go." She said.
In the first library that was makeshift to have it as theater.
And just like Nick predicted, there where bunnies waiting for him, but they didn't go towards him.
"wats wrong?" He asked. No bunny said anything and were looking between him and the front of the room. "oh, I see. You want to sit with me, but because I'm so big I can be up so close, or I might block someone else's view." All the bunnies didn't say anything but looked down. "it's fine, go on. It won't hurt my feeling if you want to be as close as possible." He said sending them off with smiles on their faces.
"so much for drama." Judy said.
"what are you talking about, that was the dram. Just because they didn't fight over me, didn't mean they still wanted me." He said. "now where's the popcorn?" he said.
"We get them when the movie starts, and not before." She explained.
Nick then hard popping in the distance, presumably down an aisle where a plug is to power the popcorn machine or two. "they better be good." He said to himself.
"don't worry they will be. Come on, I found a good spot." She said.
As Nick followed, he saw some of the old Hopps where giving him some weird looks, not looks of disgust or concern because he was a fox, they were more like gossip spreading looks.
"Nick over here." She said, when Nick got to her he sat down and just looked worried, then felt Judy's body sit down in his lap and leaning back into his chest. This was not something new to him. When they have a movie night at her place this is how they sit. Nick then heard chattering around them but paid it no mind. That was until.
"um, Judy." This got both their attention and turned to see Bonnie with a few buckets of popcorn, "you do realize you sing on Nicks lap, right?" she asked.
Nick and Judy looked at each other then back at her. "yeah?"
"But you said, you two weren't a couple."
"were not."
"then why are you sitting like that?"
"because Carrot's apartment is so small, and this is the only way for both of us to see when we do movie night, even during company movie night now that I think about it." Nick said thinking it over.
"yeah, it easier on both of us, plus I'm elevated to, 'so I can see over some bunnies who don't have their ears down.'" She said loud enough because she saw some bunny ears up and then go down after she said it. "and bones, because he was a slacker with way too much time on his paw, so he's watched a lot of moves. The first since of him about to give a spoiler, I just elbow to hit him in the gut." She said.
"well, as long as your happy. Does that mean you'll be sharing popcorn?" she asked.
"Does that mean we get 10?" Nick asked.
"no." she said plainly and just passed a bucket to Judy.
"hum." Nick pouted.
"stop it and open up." Judy said and throw some popcorn up in the air then landed in Nick's mouth.
"oh, wow they really are like the movie theater ones." He said.
"told you." She said throwing more.
"he he." Bonnie started chuckling, which got their attention, but she was too far to hear what she whispered to herself. "what a shame."
Sorry if it was a short chapter, I just couldn't think of anymore.
