A/N: Hello There! After a long time I've decided to make another Zootopia fanfic.

This time there will be no world cup mascots and it will follow a completely new story, with the inclusion of one of my OC's because, welp, almost every Zootopia fanfic has at least one new character.

And after thinking it very carefully and also being inspired I decided to make this story based off "The 5th Wave" book so without any more talking, let's get on with the story!

Life couldn't be better.

Five months ago, the first rabbit in Zootopia, Judy Hopps, joined he ZPD as a parking meter maid, however during that job she met a fox named Nick Wilde who would later become her partner after stopping an evil plot to split Zootopia, a plan that almost became true.

Now, Judy and Nick were cop partners with a personal vehicle and Nick's new job managed to get him enough for an apartment in a building in Savanah Central, though not the same building as Judy lived in, but it was fine, they had operating shifts throughout Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday giving them plenty of time to chill out in ice cream shops or a simple walk in the park.

While for Judy it was the dream she always wanted to do, for Nick it was a complete turn of his life, from being a criminal hustler every day from the streets to now stopping criminals… every day. In fact he even went through a change of partner, from being with Finnick, a fennec fox to being now with the Officer Hopps or how he likes to call her "Carrots".

Today, it was a simple Sunday, Nick woke up in his apartment and after finally getting out of bed and stretching out he quickly texted Judy.

-have anything planned for today carrots?

He didn't actually expected her to reply instantly since it was like 8:10 in the morning but it was like the daily routine so whatever, he went to the kitchen, which was practically next to his room since he afforded a small but basic apartment, and served himself a quick cereal for breakfast while waiting for Judy's response.

-idk, do you have something to do?

-I expected u to say that and I expected myself to tease you again into saying u have something to do but I actually have something new to do today

-really? And what is it

-maybe I should take this day off to visit my previous partner in crime

-wow, you want to see Finnick?

-yea, why?

-well, it's kinda surprising that you want to do that after all this time

-yea, I just feel like I should talk to him ya know?

-if that is how you feel shouldn't you talk to him alone?

-u think so?

-well, duh, he's a friend of yours, maybe I'll meet you later but you do your thing

-lol, now that u say it, maybe u can wait for us with an milkshake or anything different, a donut perhaps?

-…

-what?

-forget it, I'll wait for you in the station

-u mean the train station right?

-do you know any other station?

-heh

That was the end of that conversation for now. Nick was going to search for the alley that Finnick's van usually was, he was planning on offering him a new life as well, they were doing the hustling job for several years now and became pretty good partners and friends so leaving all of that so suddenly may have left him amused.

He put on his usual wearing and headed out into the city looking for his old pal and after wandering for like half an hour he did found the same van in the same spot it has always been.

Nick slowly approached the van and gently but loud knocked the door waiting for Finnick, for some reason the door didn't open as fast as Nick thought it would so he knocked again.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, geez!" said a voice from inside the van that Nick didn't recognize.

"I've told you, I'm literally right here, you don't need to knock so-" the doors opened and what Nick saw was not Finnick but a hyena, with a black t-shirt and red jeans a bit taller than Nick, that was just as confused as he was.

"Who are you?" the hyena asked.

"Me? This is Finnick's van so you tell me who are you first".

"Oooh," said the hyena with a grin "You're Nick Wilde, of course! Why wouldn't I remember you, you saved Zootopia and you are Finnick's ex-boyfriend".

"What?!"

"Just messing with ya fella, you're his previous partner in crime are you?"

"Uh… yes, and now that we've established who I am, do you wanna establish who are you and where is Finnick?"

The hyena chuckled

"Calm down foxy, your friend is okay, he should be back at any time now and me? My name is Zachary, please call me Zachy".

"Well, Zachy, and what are you doing here?"

"Ha! It's actually funny you ask, you see… I… I am his new partner".

"You are what?!"

"Yeah, it's true, I met him when he was trying to trick me over something but of course, I outsmarted him and we've been partners since… all of that happened after you left- oh! Here he comes".

They both looked to the left and Finnick was there shocked to see Nick again.

"Hey Finnick! Good to see ya!" said Nick but Finnick with an annoyed look just ignored him giving the coldest 'hello' you can imagine and entered the driver's seat.

"C'mon Finn, I just want to talk with you!" shouted Nick from behind while approaching the front of the van "How is life going?"

"What about your life?" he finally asked but without making eye contact

"Hey, I know you have many reasons to be mad at me… which was kinda your fault because you didn't helped either… but I wanted to tell you that maybe we can get you a better life like me".

"I like my life the way it is, go back to yours… with the fuzz".

"That means he's not interested officer Nicky!" shouted Zachy from behind

"This is none of your business you-!"

"Actually this is his business now Nick" said Finnick.

"In fact, I am a cop that has evaded taxes and my partner knows that so you won't be any different"

Finnick finally looked at Nick with a look that the fox understood that he did not wanted to talk right now and that he had no option but to leave.

"Hey, can I tell you something?" asked Zachy before Nick fully left.

"Put your head in a oven".

"Oh c'mon, don't be like that foxy! I promise I won't mock you".

"What a relief…"

"No really, Finnick has told me in every heist o hustle we've made that you were 10 times better at this job so I think that he reacted like that because of the long time it has happened but if you come more often I'm pretty sure he'll warm up to you again".

"Oh, okay then… I'll-"

"Also, the three can of us can become an amazing trio in this hustling thing ya know"

"Yeah, no, I left this job, and take note: The only reason why I'm not reporting you is because you're associated with Finn, ok?"

"Okie dokie, you should go back to your friend/partner/crush/girlfriend?"

Nick stormed out with Zachy making a 'heart' symbol behind his back and returning to the van next to Finnick who had a neutral expression.

"So… I invited him to come again in another occasion, knew you would be okay with it".

"Did you tell that… that we're…"

"Dating? Nopity nope, he's going to tease me if I do it".

Maybe Zachy was right, maybe he should come more often, maybe it was the suddenness of his decisions and changes that angered Finnick but he would definitely come again. Now he had another job, go the Savanah Station and find Judy.

After wandering for a few minutes, Judy was sitting in a bench with three donuts waiting and made a friendly wave after spotting Nick.

"Hey there carrots! You did buy something after all".

"What were you expecting? This is what we always do, where's Finnick anyways?"

"Yeah… it didn't go as I thought it would, I'm pretty sure he's still mad at me".

"Are you telling me I bought this third donut for nothing?"

"Not at all! His new partner told me that I should come back again and I was planning on doing it"

"His new partner?"

"Yeah," he sighed "A hyena, complete jerk".

"Oh, wow… Actually Nick, this idea of yours made me realize that I should also pay a visit to someone I haven't in these past months".

"And that is..?"

"My family, of course, though if I truly want to spend time with them it will have to be next Saturday, not now".

"I see".

The rest of the day went as usual, they finished eating their donuts with Nick taking the third one with him in a bag, already in their houses again, and Nick narrated his conversation with Finnick to Judy through phone messages.

After all he would visit his buddy soon and maybe then the fennec would accept Nick's offer to get him a new life, or even invite him to Bunnyborrow when Judy decided to visit her family, as for that hyena… It was going to be one hell of a ride for both of them.

But have you ever heard people say that shouldn't plan too much far ahead? Well, all of them were going to experience that in the hardest way possible.

First chapter and introductions done, as well as the main info of my OC Zachy, in the next chapter is where things will get real and complicated.

See you!
