A/N: Hello I'm KS5092! This is my first Zootopia story which is an alternate universe story where Nick and Judy met each other as kids and later they meet again as adults. After watching Zootopia this became my favorite movie because of the message about how wrong racism is, how people should get along with other people no matter what race they are, and how cute Judy was that I wanted to squeeze her face cheeks. Nick and Judy make a cute couple and friends it's nice to see predator and prey getting along for a change and I've always wondered what would happened if Nick and Judy met as kids. So this is my version. Also I'm taking a break from writing Sonic stories and I wanted to write something different for a change. Because it can get tiring liking one thing all the time it's nice to have variety in life.
Summary: Nick and Judy met each other as kids after they defended each other from bullies and they eventually became friends but one day Nick had to go back home to Zootopia since his summer vacation is over and Nick has to go back to school and his parents has to go back to work. Many years later, Nick is now an adult working with his parents at their store and he's now a pawpsicle salesman outside helping his parents he wanted to see Judy again but couldn't because he doesn't have enough money to buy tickets to go to BunnyBurrow. Finnick and John gave Nick some tickets for BunnyBurrow and now Nick is able to see Judy again. Nick goes to BunnyBurrow and is reunited with Judy which the whole family is happy to see again. Strange things had been happening in BunnyBurrow: Travis the new sheriff blames Judy for the carrots disappearing even worse Judy had given up her dream of being a cop after a traumatic event had happened in her childhood after Nick moved away. Nick hearing this decides to lie to Judy that he's an undercover cop to give Judy hope to be a cop again and he wanted her to think that he was something special. Nick and Judy has to solve this case before it's too late!

BunnyBurrow
Chapter 1: Return to Childhood
Written by: KingSnow5092
The sun was shining brightly down on the country of BunnyBurrow where there was a young female gray rabbit with purple eyes, floppy ears, a pink nose, buck-teeth, white muzzle/inner-fur, wearing a pink striped shirt, blue skirt, and a white fluffy tail named Judy Hopps was picking some blueberries from the blueberry bushes for her mother who is baking blueberry pie for dessert tonight. She loved helping out her parents and working in the fields but her real dream job is to be a cop to make the world the better place and to prove to everyone that a bunny can do anything but her parents however believed that bunnies aren't meant to be cops and a job is too dangerous for her they want her to be a carrot farmer just like them.
Also at school she was bullied by other animals mostly predators because she's a bunny and wanted to be a cop in the future there are some things they do that do make her upset and bother her but she doesn't let those things get in her way into being a cop someday. As she was picking berries she heard a loud scream coming from the side of her she turned to find a young male red fox with green eyes, curved ears, black nose, light orange muzzle/inner-fur, wearing a green scout uniform, a green scout hat, and a large bushy red tail with a black tip named Nick Wilde he was running toward the bushes screaming like a maniac. The rabbit dropped her basket and got in the defensive pose ready to fight the fox but the fox instead jumped into the bushes which surprised the rabbit.
She was confused by this she was about to walk into the bushes when she heard the voice from her side. "Hey rabbit!" A male voice called out. She turned to find five prey animals standing before her wearing the same scout uniform and hat the fox was wearing with angry faces and one of them had something in his paw. The first one was a male brown woodchuck with hazel eyes, round ears, black nose, buck teeth, light brown muzzle/inner-fur, stout figure, and a short brown tail named Woody Woodchuck holding a black muzzle strap in his paw.
The other scouts were a male black and white zebra with blue eyes, curved ears, black snout, black and white striped mane, black hoofs, and a long white tail with a black brush-like tail, a male gray hippo with blue eyes, round ears, large round snout, buck-teeth, light gray muzzle/inner-fur, stout figure, and a curly gray tail, a male bluish-gray wildebeest with green eyes, curved ears, blue snout, buck teeth, two horns on his head, light blue muzzle/inner-fur, and a long blue tail, and a male brown horse with green eyes, curved ears, black snout, black mane, light brown muzzle/inner-fur, black hoofs, and a short black tail. The zebra's name was Zippy, the hippo's was Tank, the wildebeest's was Hornsby, and the horse's name was Hoofster. They were the Junior Ranger Scouts.
The Junior Ranger Scouts were the group of scouts who help out animals in need and do good deeds to feel good and earn badges but these scouts weren't friendly scouts at all they were mean scouts in fact they were bullies! They were prejudice against predators joining their group they were fine with other prey but if a predator joins them they reject them by doing anything possible even muzzling them. Nick wanted to join the scouts ever since he met first met them at his school playground in Zootopia one day he ran up to them and asked if he can joined them to which they said yes and invited him to join the meeting that will take place in BunnyBurrow which was good timing since Nick and his parents were going to BunnyBurrow for summer vacation to have fun and take a break from work they do.
He told his new so-called friends that he was going on vacation in BunnyBurrow for summer vacation to which they were delighted to hear he had to tell his parents about what's going on so he can get his own scout uniform. Nick told his parents to which they were happy to hear luckily they had enough money leftover to get the uniform for Nick and money for the train to BunnyBurrow as well. Once everyone got to BunnyBurrow the Wilde family got settled down in their summer-house and on the day it was time for the meeting Nick got on his uniform with help from his mother and ran into the scouts who got there by train with their scoutmaster bringing them there with permissions from their parents of course.
The scouts held the meeting in the building they aside in during summer breaks while the scoutmaster talked to Nick's parents about his future in the scouts group but little did Nick and the scoutmaster knew is that the scouts pretended to be Nick's friends so he can tricked him into getting into a meeting so they can muzzled him without anyone knowing because BunnyBurrow is the peaceful country and nothing bad can happen there or so they thought. After the scouts told Nick to take an oath but ended with even if you're a fox when he heard that he knew something was wrong so he ran out as fast as he could with the scouts chasing after him yelling at him to come back so they can muzzle him and he ran until he found a place he ran hide in which was the bushes where Judy was picking berries.
"Is something wrong?" Judy asked looking at the boys in confusion. "Yeah, have you seen a fox around here somewhere?" Woody asked. Judy looked around and looked back to the woodchuck. "I'm sorry but I've hadn't seen Gideon Grey around." Judy told him. The woodchuck shook his head. "No! I mean another fox named Nick Wilde!" Woody corrected her. She realized what the woodchuck meant now she then pointed to the bushes next to her. "Right there is he your friend?" Judy asked. "No way! We need to teach that fox the lesson by muzzling him!" Woody answered as he held up the muzzle strap to show the bunny. Judy looked at them in confusion why did they have a muzzle in their paws?
"What did he do?" Judy asked. "Nothing we're just muzzling him because he's a fox!" Woody answered as he grinned evilly along with the other scouts. Judy gasped in horror she couldn't believe what the scouts had told her they were going to muzzle a fox just because he's a fox it was racism! Her father had many anti-fox items like a fox horn, a fox taser, and a fox repellent but a muzzle is where her father draws a line even he thinks it's too cruel nobody deserves to be muzzled not even a fox even her grandfather hates muzzle he may hate foxes but even he thinks muzzling a fox is too cruel for them. She had to something to stop the bullies from muzzling the fox but how?
"Hey Nick! Come out here and take your medicine!" Woody shouted to the bushes. Nick stepped out from the bushes and slowly walked toward the bullies ready to get muzzled by them but Judy held out her arm in front of Nick she then walked in front of the bullies. "May I see that muzzle please?" Judy asked Woody as she held out her paw to him. Woody nodded then handed her a muzzle Judy looked at the muzzle and then back at the woodchuck then Judy dropped the muzzle and kicked it up in the air to which everyone looked up at except for Judy. The rabbit ran and kicked the woodchuck in the midsection while he wasn't looking. Woody's face turned red in pain as he yelled and fell onto the ground holding his midsection. The other scouts backed away in horror at what the rabbit do to their friend.
Then Judy caught the muzzle strap, jumped onto the woodchuck, and strapped the muzzle tightly on him. She jumped off the woodchuck and glared at him. "How do you like being muzzled?" Judy asked him while pointing her finger at her. Woody mumbled while tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked up to the rabbit in fear. "Doesn't feel nice does it?" Judy asked. Woody shook his head as he mumbled to her pleading her to take off the muzzle the other scouts were sweating and buckling their knees at the sight before them. Judy knelt down and removed the muzzle from the woodchuck's face she then kicked it into the air far away from them and over the trees.
The scouts helped up their friend then Judy stood before them glaring at them with her paws on her hip. "If you ever hurt Nick Wilde again so help me I will do something worse to you! Now leave and never bother Nick again! You got that!" Judy threatened. Woody and his friends nodded their heads at her with sweat pouring down their faces not wanting to get hurt by the rabbit. "Good, now get lost!" Judy shouted at them The scouts screamed and ran away from the bunny and the fox as fast as possible and disappeared into the clearing. Nick was happy that Judy helped him but he felt a little scared that she might attack him next because of her fighting skills so he ran away and disappeared into the bushes before something else happens.
Judy dusted her hands off and turned to ask the fox if he was alright but she noticed that the fox wasn't around anymore she figured he must've gotten scared and ran off. Judy just shrugged it off and figured that she'll look for the fox sometime later to see if he was alright right now she needed continue her work picking berries for her mother. She picked up her basket and continued to pick berries for her mother.
-One Week Later-
Judy was walking down the dirt road by herself to get some exercise her parents weren't sure at first to let her go alone but she pleaded to them to let her go alone and assured them that she's able to take care of herself. After a while they reluctantly let her go but warned her about the dangers of being alone she assured them that she'll be fine after that she ran out of the house and went for a walk. She was wearing a pink t-shirt with a carrot decorated on it with a blue skirt. She loved going for walks on beautiful days like this she loved to exercise so much it gets her areadline going and she was practicing to be a cop someday which is why she exercises a lot but not too much to hurt herself.
As she was walking she noticed something in the vacant sand lot which was a large field filled with sand, some bushes against the large white fence surrounding it, a large tree with a beehive on the branch hovering above it, and in the middle was a box being held up by a plank with a carrot underneath it. Judy looked at the trap and shook her head. "Gideon must be trying to trap a rabbit again when will he ever learn?" Judy said to herself as she shook her head. She walked over to the trap, she kicked the plank, and the box fell down onto the ground. She shook her again but as she was walking she suddenly tripped on something and her legs got tangled into the invisible wire trap she hadn't seen on her way to the lot.
She noticed her legs were tangled up in the trap she gasped in horror it was a trap for her Gideon must've known that Judy wouldn't fall for the trap like the box so he planted a decoy trap to trap her into a real trap she looked at her legs and noticed that it was a wire used to trap rabbits by their necks! But her legs were the ones who got trapped in it she was lucky that she didn't fell head first into the trap or otherwise she would've been choked to death! She was tried to struggle out of the trap but it was useless then without warning she heard rustling from the bushes and four bullies came out of the bushes with evil grins on their faces! It was Gideon Grey, Travis Tight-Squeeze, Seth, and Khan!
Gideon Grey was a male red fox with blue eyes, curved ears, black nose, combed brown hair on his head, stout figure, light orange muzzle/inner-fur, wearing a blue plaid shirt, blue overalls with yellow buttons, and a large bushy red tail, Travis was a male brown ferret with brown eyes, round ears, red nose, black mask around his eyes, slender figure, black paws, light brown muzzle/inner-fur, wearing a white t-shirt, red shorts, and a long brown tail, Seth was a male golden-brown jackal with red eyes, long pointy ears, black nose, dark brown patches on his back, light yellow muzzle/inner-fur, wearing a black t-shirt, red shorts with skulls on them, and a long golden-brown tail, and Khan was a male orange tiger with green eyes, round ears, red nose, black stripes down his back, wearing a blue shirt, green shorts, and a long orange and black striped tail. They were bullies at Judy's school they bully most prey animals but Judy was their main target because she was a bunny and wanted to be a cop in the future.
"Well, well, well, boys look who we've caught in our trap!" Gideon said. "It's that dumb bunny who wants to be a cop someday!" Travis sneered. "A bunny cop! What a joke!" Seth jeered. "Yeah, she'll never be a cop like this!" Khan agreed. The four of them laughed at this. Judy tried again to get out of her restraints but to no avail. Gideon stomped on the ground causing Judy to gasped in horror and her nose twitched as he did that. Normally, she wasn't afraid of bullies but she was trapped in the trap that killed rabbits for all years and now she was trapped with all the predators around her with nobody to help her out in this problem. She felt scared they might do something awful to her while she was down. Her nose twitched like crazy.
"Look her nose is twitching she's really scared!" Travis said pointing at her. "What shall we do to her?" Seth asked. Gideon scratched his chin for a while then he got a nasty idea he grabbed a couple of sticks on the ground and handed it to his friends. "Let's poke her with sticks!" Gideon shouted. "YEAH!" They all said. Gideon and his goons began to poke Judy with their sticks as Judy pleaded for them to stop but her pleas fell on deaf ears as they laughed at her pain. She almost felt like she was about to cry.
At the same time, Nick was walking down the road where Judy had walked today he was wearing a green t-shirt with blueberries decorated on it and blue shorts. He was going for a walk as well to get some excercise. He was thinking about the bunny that saved him from the scout bullies who tried to muzzle him he wasn't a scout anymore he quit the scouts he didn't want to be a member who are mean to other animals.
What happened after Judy chased away the scouts is Nick told his parents and the scoutmaster what had happened luckily for him they believed him. When the scoutmaster and Nick's parents talked to the boys they tried to deny it but when a muzzle strap that Judy kicked fell down in front of them Woody picked it up and wondered how his muzzle got there this surprised everyone. Woody realized his mistake too late and the scouts were kicked out from the troop and sent back home by their parents and got grounded for three months. The scoutmaster apologized to Nick for what had happened and wondered if he still wanted to be a scout but Nick declined he wanted to be a scout but he didn't want to be any member of the troop that are mean to other animals. The scoutmaster understood and let him keep the uniform as the apology gift.
As Nick was walking down the road he heard someone screaming he quickly ran to the sandlot and peeked from behind the fence to see what was going on and he was shocked to see the sight before him! It was Gideon and his goons poking at Judy with sticks while she pleaded for them to stop but they just laughed at her while she had a face that looks like she's about to cry. Nick growled in anger he needed to do something to stop those bullies from hurting that rabbit but what can he do? It was four against one there was no way he could beat all of them. He then looked up to the beehive above the lot then an idea came to him he knew what to do. So he picked up a few stones and placed it in his pocket and waited for a right moment to attack.
After a while Gideon and his goons dropped the sticks on the ground and Judy was relieved that the poking had stopped but then Gideon knelt down in front of her with a large grin on his face. "Now then rabbit it's time for you to get clawed!" Gideon snarled. He then raised his paw, stuck out his claws, and was about ready to claw Judy's face. Judy's eyes widened in horror as tears fell from her eyes as she pleaded for Gideon not to claw her face. Travis, Seth, and Khan were excited to see the show before them. Nick quickly ran into action he threw a stone at Gideon's face and it hit him directly on his jaw. Gideon yelped in pain as he held his jaw in his paws. Travis, Seth, and Khan were surprised by this as they looked around wondering who threw that stone.
Judy was surprised as well the chubby fox held his jaw and growled in anger. "Who threw that?" Gideon demanded. "I did!" Nick called out. The bullies and Judy turned to find Nick standing there with an angry look on his face while he kept tossing a stone in the air and catching it in his hand. "Who are you?" Gideon asked. "I'm Nick Wilde! I don't like what you're doing to that poor bunny!" Nick answered. "Now you either let her go or else!" Nick threatened. Gideon and his goons laughed at this. "Or else what?" Gideon asked. "Or else I'll bee seeing you!" Nick answered. Gideon and his goons laughed even more at this. "Oh yeah? Well, I'll tell you want I think I'll claw this bunny even more!" The mean fox told him.
"OK! You asked for it!" Nick shouted. He then threw the stone up in the air above Gideon and his goons Gideon ducked as he threw the stone in the air. Gideon stuck his tongue out at Nick. "HA! You missed!" Gideon taunted. "I wasn't aiming at you!" Nick told him with a sly smile on his face as he pointed up to the air. Gideon and his goons looked up to see the stone hit the beehive and it landed in front of Gideon and his friends. They looked at the beehive in confusion than without warning the beehive burst into the swarm of bees and they were coming toward Gideon and his friends! "BEES!" Gideon and his friends shouted. Then the swarm attacked Gideon, Travis, Seth, and Khan who tried to swat away at them but to no avail.
Then they got up and ran out of the sandlot and down the road with the bees chasing after them. "BEE seeing you!" Nick called out as he waved to them he then laughed at his own joke. Then Nick walked over toward Judy and knelt down on both of his knees toward the rabbit. Judy backed away at first fearing that the fox might hurt her next. "It's okay I'm not going to hurt you I'm going to help you." Nick assured her as he held out his hand to motion her to calm down. Then Nick grabbed Judy's legs, got out one claw, and cut the wires from Judy freeing her legs. Judy managed to get up and jumped around she was free at last! Judy smiled at the fox. "Thank you." Judy said. Nick stood up and said. "No problem, happy to help out a fellow animal in distress."
"My name is Judy Hopps!" Judy said walking over toward the fox while she held out her hand. "My name is Nick Wilde it's nice to meet you." Nick said holding out his hand as well. The two of them shook hands as they introduced each other. "JUDY! Are you okay?" A female voice shouted out. The two of them turned to find three of Judy's friends running toward them with concern looks. Judy's friends' names were Sharla, Gareth, and Dusk.
Sharla was a female black sheep with blue eyes, round ears, black snout, black wool covering her head and body, black curved hoofs, wearing a purple t-shirt, blue shorts, and a short black tail, Gareth was a male white sheep with green eyes, round ears, white snout, white wool covering his head and body, gray curved hoofs, wearing a blue t-shirt, purple shorts, and a short white tail, and Dusk was a female golden-brown rabbit with brown eyes, floppy ears, pink nose, light brown muzzle/inner-fur, wearing a pink dress from head to toe decorated with carrots on it, and a short fluffy white tail. Sharla and Gareth were brother and sister and Dusk was one of Judy's cousins. They were friends of Judy in school and they supported her idea of being a cop.
"Hey guys, I'm okay thanks to Nick." Judy told them as she pointed to Nick. Nick waved at them. "What happened? We heard screaming." Gareth asked. Judy explained to them what had happened earlier about how Nick saved her from Gideon and his goons by getting them get stung by bees after she was done explaining they were impressed and amazed that a fox was kind to her. "Wow! That is so cool!" Dusk said jumping up and down in excitement. "I'll say it's actually nice to have a good fox around us." Sharla agreed. Nick blushed at those words it was nice to hear praises coming from prey animals instead of mean comments from other animals. "It was nothing really." Nick said bashfully. Judy giggled as she placed a paw on his shoulder.
"Don't be bashful it was something you are a really nice fox to help me out." Judy told him. "Of course sometimes we foxes get bad reps because of what we did in the past but not all foxes are bad there are some good foxes out there like me." Nick said. "I'll say not like Gideon Grey!" Gareth said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement at that. "By the way thanks for saving me from the scout bullies!" Nick told her. Judy's eyes widened in surprise after Nick told her that. "That was you?" Judy asked. "Yes that was me hiding the bushes." Nick answered. "Wow! That's cool! I saved your life from bullies and you saved mine from bullies as well!" Judy said. "I guess that's makes us even!" Nick said. Judy nodded her head. "It sure does!" She said.
"I'm sorry I ran away before I got a chance to thank you I thought you were going to hurt me as well." Nick apologized as he rubbed the back of his head in shame. "It's okay I understand it's hard to trust someone who bullies you a lot." Judy assured him. Nick smiled at her as well. "By the way my name Sharla!" Sharla said. "My name is Gareth." Gareth said. "And I'm Dusk!" Dusk said. "My name is Nick Wilde is nice to meet all of you." Nick said shaking all of their hands. "So Nick? What happened to the bullies who tried to hurt you?" Gareth asked. Nick explained his story to his new friends and when he was finished they clapped their hands. "Wow, that was cool Judy!" Gareth said. "You sure kicked that woodchuck where the sun don't shine!" Sharla said. "Thank you!" Judy said as she curtsied.
"But Nick? What are you going to do now when you grow up?" Dusk asked. Nick shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure probably a pawpsicle sales clerk or something like that." Nick answered. The trio looked at each other in confusion. "What's a pawpsicle?" Sharla asked. "It's the frozen treat me and my mom make every summer we used our paws to make molds in our homemade ice trays, then we use whatever flavor of fruit juice and poured it into the ice tray, stretched the plastic wrap around it, carefully placed the sticks into the ice try, and let it chill over night and viola homemade pawpsicles!" Nick explained to them. They were amazed by what Nick told them. "That's amazing Nick!" Sharla said. "Thank you!" Nick said bowing to them.
"What about the rest of you what do you want to be when you grow up?" Nick asked his new friends. "I want to be an astronaut." Sharla answered. "I want to be a candy store clerk!" Gareth answered. "I want to be a carrot farmer like my aunt and uncle!" Dusk answered him. "That's cool!" Nick told them. He then turned to Judy and asked. "What about you Judy what do you want to be when you grow up!" Nick asked. Judy bowed her head and felt a bit ashamed about answering Nick she was afraid that he might berate her as well. "Well, it might sound silly when I tell you." Judy said as she shuffled her feet a bit and had her paws behind her back. Nick smiled and placed the paw on her shoulders.
"No it won't! Whatever it is it might sound cool!" Nick assured her. Judy smiled at this she felt a bit better after Nick assured her that so she took a deep breath and let it out. "I want to be a cop in the future to make the world the better place and move to Zootopia to become one and prove to everyone that a bunny can be a cop!" Judy answered. Nick's eyes widened in surprise at this but in a good way when Judy noticed this she felt scared that he might tease her as well. But instead Nick smiled "WOW! That is so cool! The bunny cop might be a wonderful thing for Zootopia!" Nick exclaimed happily. Judy smiled at this. "Really?" Judy asked. Nick nodded his head. "Of course! It would be nice to have a bunny cop on the police force to make the world the better place!" Nick told her as he raised his arms in the air.
Judy smiled. "Wow, thank you that really means a lot to me." She told him. "But why did you think it might sound silly if you told me?" He asked. "Well, you see some of the other animals bullied me because of me wanting to be a cop and also because I'm a bunny except for my friends, of course, and my parents even think it's a bad idea for me to be a cop." She explained to him. Nick's eyes widened at that he couldn't believe that the other animals would bully her because of that also he was even more shocked that her parents believed that her being a cop might be a bad idea. "Why would your parents think that? I mean the other animals I could understand but your parents?" Nick asked.
"Well, they are overprotective of me and my 275 siblings and they think me being a carrot farmer might be safer for me." Judy answered. Nick felt a bit sad for Judy he could understand why her parents might be worried about being a cop might be a dangerous job for her but being overprotective was another and being bullied by other animals except for her friends for being a cop because she was a bunny. He understood how Judy feels. The scouts tried to muzzle him because he was a predator but at least his parents supported him. He noticed Judy had a sad look on her face, her ears were drooped behind her back, and she looked at the ground. Nick walked over to her and put his paw on her shoulder again.
"Judy! If you want to be a cop so badly then go for it! Be a cop! Who cares what the other animals think even if your parents don't support it follow your dreams and become a cop! Let me give you some advice about bullies never let them see them get to you!" Nick told her with a smile on his face. Judy smiled at him as well. Then Judy wrapped her arms around the fox and thanked him. Nick smiled as he wrapped his arms around the rabbit and hugged her back as he welcomed her. Nick and Judy hugged for a while until they heard someone cleared their throat this caught their attention as they turned to find Sharla, Gareth, and Dusk looking at them with smiling faces. Nick and Judy let go of each other and both blushed in embarrassment.
"Well, anyways I better get going before my parents worried about me see you tomorrow?" Nick asked. "You bet!" Judy said giving him a thumbs up. "Bye then!" Nick said waving at her. "Bye!" Judy said waving at him as well. "Bye guys, I'll be seeing you too!" Nick said to his new friends. "Bye!" Sharla, Gareth, and Dusk said as they waved at him as well. Nick then walked down the road back to his house. Judy walked back toward her friends. "Well, it's nice to see a friendly fox for a change why can't Gideon Grey be like him?" Gareth said. "I know if we have more friendly foxes like him around than we don't have to worry about being bullied again!" Sharla agreed.
"You said it! So what do you guys want to do now?" Judy asked. "Let's go swimming!" They all said in unison. "OK! Let me go get my swimsuit!" Judy told them. Then Judy ran off down the road to her house to get her swimsuit. "Wasn't it cute how Judy hugged Nick?" Dusk asked them. "I know maybe someday they'll be boyfriend and girlfriend." Sharla giggled. "I heard that!" Judy called out to them. The three of them covered their mouths and kept silent.
-5 Months Later-
Nick and Judy became best friends for over 5 months and so have Judy and Nick's parents they became friends as well at first Judy's parents were skeptical about being friends with foxes but after a while they eventually became friends with each other after they heard that Nick and Judy protected each other against some bullies. Judy's parents learned that not all foxes were bad they believed that there are actually good foxes out there even Judy's grandfather began to warm up to Nick and his parents but he's still a bit skeptical about other foxes but not as much so are Judy's parents. Anyways, Nick and Judy did a lot of things together like watch TV, play games, go out together, play together, and many more so did their parents and had fun together it was a happy life for them.
But however after five months things began to go downhill when Judy's parents are informed that Nick's parents have to leave for Zootopia because they were only staying there for a whole summer and have to go back to work and Nick has to go back to school and they're not sure if they're coming back next summer because of the work they had to do. Judy's parents were little upset but they understood what they were going through they were however worried about how Judy might handle it. They wanted to tell their daughter but they were worried about how she might react little did they know is that she's going to find out on her own.
One day Judy was skipping across the road to Nick's summer-house when she noticed that two adult foxes were packing up their things and putting them in their rental truck. The first fox was a male red fox with green eyes, curved ears, black nose, light orange muzzle/inner-fur, muscular figure, wearing a black tuxedo suit, a red tie, black pants, and a long bushy tail named John Wilde he was Nick's father and the other fox was a female red fox with purple eyes, curved ears, black nose, light orange muzzle/inner-fur, slender figure, wearing a purple shirt, blue jeans, and a long bushy tail named Francine Wilde she was Nick's mother. They were packing up the stuff they need to go home.
Judy was confused by what's going on here so she called out to her parents. "MOM! DAD!" COME QUICK!" Judy shouted to them. As soon as she did two adult rabbits quickly ran out from their house and right in front of Judy with worried looks on their faces. The first rabbit was a male brown rabbit with brown eyes, floppy ears, pink nose, white muzzle/inner-fur, stout figure, wearing a green plaid shirt, blue overalls with yellow buttons on them, a green farmer hat with a carrot symbol on it, and a short white fluffy tail named Stu and the other rabbit was a female gray rabbit with purple eyes, floppy ears, pink nose, white muzzle/inner-fur, slightly stout figure, wearing a pink plaid shirt, blue skirt, and a short white fluffy tail named Bonnie. They were Judy's parents.
"Judy, what's wrong?" Stu asked. "Is someone attacking you?" Bonnie asked. Judy shook her head at them. "No worst! Nick's parents are running away!" Judy answered as she pointed to the foxes packing away their items in the truck. Stu and Bonnie laughed as Judy looked at them in confusion. "What's so funny?" Judy asked. "Oh Judy, relax they're not running away they're moving away." Stu told her. Judy's eyes widened in shock after her father told her that her best friend was moving away she couldn't believe it! "You mean he's going away? I'll never get to see him again?" Judy asked them. Stu and Bonnie looked at each other with sad faces and looked back at Judy. "Well, we don't know dear but they might be back next summer!" Bonnie assured her.
"Well, I'm going with them!" Judy shouted with as she stood up like a solider and with a glare. "No you're not dear! Zootopia's a very dangerous city with tons of dangerous animals like: bad foxes, cougars, tigers, bears, lions, rhinos, hippos, elephants, jackals, and many more dangerous animals! You're too small and young to go with them!" Stu shouted as he wagged his finger at her. Judy bowed her head in sadness. "May I say goodbye to him?" Judy asked. They nodded their heads at her. Judy ran toward the house where Nick was sitting down on the ground against his house. Nick noticed Judy running toward him he stood up as she stopped in front of him.
"So you're moving away?" Judy asked. "Yeah, but I'll be back in the summer time maybe if there's enough money for us to come back here that is I have to go back to school and my parents have to go back to work." Nick answered. Judy felt tears in her eyes as she tried to wipe away from her eyes Nick felt tears in his eyes as well and he wiped them away too. "I'm going to miss you Nick!" Judy said. "I'll miss you too Judy!" Nick said. "Here, I have something for you to remember by!" The fox said as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket which was folded and handed it to the rabbit to which she took it and unfolded to see that it's a picture of her and Nick standing next to each other on a grassy field and blue skies with a yellow sun smiling in the background it was drawn in crayon it was very well drawn.
"It's very nice Nick thank you!" Judy said. "You're welcome it's something to remember me by." Nick told her. Judy put the paper into her pocket as tears fell down from her face. "I'm going to miss you Nick!" Judy said as she wrapped her arms around the fox. Nick returned the hug as he wrapped his arms around the rabbit as well. The two of them cried for a while as they hugged each other as the parents looked on with sad faces knowing that they will not seeing each other for a long time. After a while they let go of each other then Nick walked to his parents as he entered the truck then they drove down the road. Nick looked out the back window of the truck and saw Judy looking at him with big sad eyes. Nick sat down in the seat and sighed in sadness.
Judy turned to her parents with a sad face then she quickly ran toward them and hugged them tightly and cried her eyes out as her parents wrapped their arms around Judy and tried to comfort her. At the same time, Nick cried into his paws while sitting in his seat.
Many Years Later...
Nick was now an adult male red fox with green eyes, curved ears, black nose, light orange muzzle/inner-fur, taller, wearing a green shirt with leaves on them, a pink and blue tie, tan jeans, and a large bushy red tail with a black tip. He was in his bedroom of his parent's house/Suitopia store. His bedroom was large with green walls, tan carpeted floor, a large bed with green sheets, green blanket, and green pillow, a nightstand next to his bed with an alarm clock, a picture of him and Judy when they were kids in a grassy fields of BunnyBurrow, a bowl of blueberries for his midnight snack, and a can of soda, a large TV near the end of his bed on the stand, underneath the stand were DVDs and games, a game console near his TV, and a large door at the front of his bedroom.
Nick was living with his parents at their house/store in the city of Zootopia which was his home his dad owns the business called Suitopia where they made clothing for animals in need while his mother helps out with the color design he helps out his parents as well his other job is to sell Pawpsicles for residents of Zootopia on the hot summer day for something refreshing to have as a treat for only two dollars he had help with his friend Finnick who was his second best friend since childhood in Zootopia and he was the toughest fox you ever met they had a license to sell Pawpsicles of course.
Nick was lying in his bed when he heard the knock on his door he got up from his bed, walked to the door, and opened it to show his parents standing there. "Come on son! It's time to go to work!" John told him. "Alright." Nick said. Then he and his parents walked downstairs to their store which was attached to their house. The store was a large room with brown walls and floors, clothes on shelves, clothes racks in the middle, a large counter with a cash register on it, a chair behind the counter, a working station near the door with a sewing machine on it with fabric in boxes on the floor. John went to the sewing station to do his job while Francine went behind the counter as a sales clerk and Nick walked outside to his job as a pawpsicle sales clerk.
A large white cart with a handle and on it was a large cheery-flavored red pawpsicle which was a popsicle shaped like a paw logo, "Pawpsicle" was written on it in black letters, and also written in black letters were "$2 each" below it. Leaning against the cart was a male tan fennec fox with brown eyes, large pointy ears, black nose, white muzzle/inner-fur, wearing a black shirt with a red stripe, olive-green shorts, and a large bushy tan tail named Finnick he was Nick's best friend next to Judy since childhood in Zootopia. He was reading a magazine waiting for Nick to show up the red fox cleared his throat which caught the fennec fox's attention he looked up and smiled at him. "About time you got here." Finnick said.
"Good morning to you too Finnick." Nick joked. Finnick rolled up his magazine, walked inside the house to put away his magazine, walked back out, and stood next to Nick. The fox opened the cart and held out the red pawpsicle in the air. "Pawpsicles! Get your pawpsicles here! Only two dollars!" Nick called out. But the passersby didn't want anything from a fox mostly the prey animals. "No thanks!" A male brown moose said passing by. "I'll pass!" A female tan deer said. "I rather eat my foot than to eat those pawpsicles!" A male gray rhino said. Nick frowned as he lowered his pawpsicle from the air he turned to Finnick. "Forget it nobody want to buy anything from us!" Nick said.
Finnick growled in anger he took out a bat and jumped in front of the passersby. "Either you buy a pawpsicle or you get the taste of my bat!" Finnick threatened as he swung the bat at them. The passersby screamed and ran off down the street. Nick face-palmed in frustration. "Worth a shot." Finnick said shrugging his shoulders. Nick leaned down into the smaller fox's face. "Finnick! We're suppose to show the other animals that we're friendly foxes not mean foxes!" Nick whispered to him. Finnick grinned sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head. "Sorry." He muttered meekly. Then they heard the crowd coming toward them they turned to find some male yellow lemmings walking toward them.
The lemmings were dressed in small business suits walking in the line toward the stand Nick and Finnick smiled the lemmings were always thrilling to buy some pawpsicles from the foxes. Nick and Finnick got back to their original positions and ready to sell them stuff. "Pawpsicles! Get your pawpsicles here!" Nick called out. The lemmings paid their money and Nick handed them pawpiscle after pawpsicle until there were no more lemmings coming by. The lemmings sucked on their pawpsicles with happiness enjoying their frozen treats. After a while, they eventually closed their stand they were done for a day and they went back inside. Francine and John looked up to see the boys walking in.
"Hello boys how's business?" Francine asked. "Great! Except when Finnick scared off some passersby!" Nick said as he glared at the smaller fox. Finnick blushed as he sheepishly grinned and shrugged his shoulders. John and Francine sighed as they shook their heads. "Finnick, really you need to control your temper." John warned him. "Sorry Mr. Wilde, I just don't like it when someone judge us foxes." Finnick apologized. "I understand but violence is never an answer." John told him wagging his finger at him. Finnick nodded his head at him. "How about you two? Any customers today?" Nick asked. John and Francine shook their heads sadly. "Great! I'm doing well but you two aren't getting any customers because we're all foxes!" Nick said sarcastically as he threw his arms in the air. "I could use force to make customers paid for your stuff!" Finnick said as he pulled out his bat and tapped it in his paws. "Finnick!" Nick shouted. "Kidding!" Finnick said, laughing. "Well that's enough jokes for today boys it's time for dinner!" Francine told the boys. Nick, Finnick, John, and Francine walked back inside their house to have dinner.
After dinner Nick was lying on the bed watching a movie about the fox and the dog being friends with each other but some of the animals believed that they should be enemies he sighed as he watched the movie it reminded himself of him and Judy when they were kids he had good memories of her. He missed her very much and wanted to see her again but the problem was they didn't have enough money to get tickets to BunnyBurrow and neither did Judy's parents as well so they can't visit them as well. Nick sighed in sadness he missed Judy so much and do anything to see her again. He had a thought of stealing money from his parents or a bank but he decided against he knew that wouldn't be a good idea and could get in him big trouble. The fox sighed as he looked up to the ceiling what was he going to do?
Then he heard a knock on his door he looked at the door. "Come in!" Nick called out. The door opened to revealed it being Francine with a concern look on her face she walked inside the room Nick sat up on the bed to make room for his mother who sat on the bed next to him. "Are you alright sweetie?" She asked. Nick shook his head at her. "No, I'm not I missed Judy!" Nick answered as he shook his head. The mother fox sighed as she placed her paw on his shoulder. "Oh honey, you know we don't have enough money right now to go to BunnyBurrow or enough for you to go to BunnyBurrow alone." She told him. "I know but I wished we had some money right now if any animal wasn't so prejudice against us foxes!" Nick said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"I understand Nick but some animals don't see us foxes as good kind animals we are I mean yes there are some bad foxes out there but not all foxes are bad." Francine told him. "I know remember when those mean scouts tried to muzzle me when I was a child?" Nick asked. Francine growled at bit and closed her eyes. "Yes, I liked to rip those nasty son of the..." Francine began but Nick put his paw on her shoulder. "Whoa! Easy mom watch your langauge." Nick told her as he motioned his paw to calm her down. Francine blushed as she smiled at her son. "Oh sorry dear, sometimes even us mothers can lose control sometimes I just hate it when someone hurts my little boy." Francine said as she pinched his cheek. Nick chuckled at this and playfully push her paw away. "Mom!" Nick chided playfully.
John and Finnick were overhearing the conversation between Nick and Francine as they both looked at each other then the two of them had an idea they ran back to their rooms to get something. Hours later, there was another knock at the door Nick and Francine looked up to find John and Finnick standing there with smiling faces as they walked inside Nick's room. "Nick, I have something for you from me and your father to you!" Finnick said. John held out a manilla envelope to his son who which Nick took and held it in his paws. "What is it?" Nick asked. "Open it and find out silly!" John said. Nick did just that and was surprised to see what was inside it was a ticket to BunnyBurrow! "Wow!" Nick said as he took out a ticket. "A ticket to BunnyBurrow?" He said.
John and Finnick nodded their heads. "But how?" Nick asked. "Well, I had some money stashed away for my own needs but after hearing how much you missed your bunny friend I figured that I buy you a ticket for BunnyBurrow!" Finnick explained. Nick smiled as he picked up Finnick and hugged him. "Thank you, Finnick!" Nick said. "You're welcome now please let go of me you're embarrassing me!" Finnick told him as he blushed. Nick put down Finnick quickly on the floor. Nick was happy as a clam he was finally going to see his friend Judy again but his smiled quickly disappeared as he looked at his parents. This confused them. "Nick? What's wrong? Aren't you happy to be going to BunnyBurrow?" Francine asked.
"Oh, I am happy but what about you two? Don't you want to come to BunnyBurrow with me? What about your job around here?" Nick asked concerned. The parents smiled at him. "Don't worry son, Finnick is able to take care of us and also we have friends in high places!" Francine assured him. "Besides you need a vacation you've worked hard and you've earned this vacation." John said as he placed his paw on his shoulder. Nick smiled at his parents and Finnick. "Thank you!" Nick said then all of them had a group hug.
The Next Day...
After breakfast Nick, Finnick, John, and Francine went to the train station where the train had arrived leaving for BunnyBurrow Nick had his suitcase with him with stuff he needed when he was away. "Well, this is it! I'm off to BunnyBurrow!" Nick exclaimed. "Have a safe trip son!" John said. "Thanks dad, I will!" Nick said. Nick and John hugged each other then they let go. "Good luck, my big man!" John said. "Thanks!" Nick said. "Goodbye dear, have a safe trip be careful of dangers like slurry pits, danger areas, and dangerous animals especially prey like hippos, rhinos, elephants, woodchucks, and rabbits who can bite and kick." Francine told him. "I will and don't worry Judy isn't dangerous but there are some bad rabbits there and I will be careful." Nick told her. Nick and Francine hugged as well.
"Oh my little boy going on his own you're such a big boy." Francine cooed. "I'm sure am mom." Nick said. Then they let go of each other. "Good luck Nick, say hi to Judy for me!" Finnick said. "I will." Nick said. Nick held out his arms for a hug but Finnick just held out his hand for a hand shake. "No hug?" Nick asked. Finnick smiled. "Oh what a heck! Get in here you!" Finnick said, smiling. Nick and Finnick hugged each other. "Let's keep this our secret." Finnick whispered. "You got it buddy!" Nick said. Then they let go of each other. The train whistled blew and Nick quickly got on the train and waved to his parents and Finnick through the train window. Finnick began to weep as he hugged Francine. "Oh Finnick!" Francine chuckled as she picked him and hugged him.
Nick sighed as he sat down on the seat of the train, put his suitcase next to him, and rested his head on the seat with his hands underneath. "Judy! Here I come!" Nick said. The train took off down to BunnyBurrow Nick's childhood summer home.
A/N: End of Chapter 1. Well looks like Nick is heading to BunnyBurrow and is going to see his best friend again! That was nice of Finnick to give up his money to buy a ticket for Nick he maybe tough sometimes but he's a heart of gold underneath that toughness he helped Judy find Nick in the movie but he doesn't tend to show it. Judy took care of those scouts by kicking the leader where the sun doesn't shine and muzzling him to see how he liked it! Also Nick took care of Gideon and his goons by siccing the bees on them. That would be cool if that happened in the movie I know it had to happen or otherwise there's no movie but still! Well anyways, I hope you like this story now it's time for the fun facts.
Fun Fact #1: My two OC bullies Seth the jackal and Khan the tiger were friends of Gideon Grey I made them because I've wanted Gideon to have a gang instead of just Travis for more conflict for Judy to handle to make it more interesting. Seth the jackal is named after the Egyptian god of chaos and he was part jackal so I figured Seth would be a perfect name of him since he was a bully. Khan the tiger is named after Shere Khan from Disney's The Jungle Book animated movie series.
Fun Fact #2: The scene where Nick threw the rock at the beehive, dropped down in front of the bullies, who looked closer to it, the bees bursting out from the hive, and attacking the bullies as they're running away is silimar to the scene from King's Quest 2015 where Graham tricked the guards by shaking the tree and causing the guards to get attacked by bees. I thought it would be a funny scene to add in this story!
Fun Fact #3: Woody Woodchuck was originally going to be one of Judy's friends in the original script but was dropped after they changed it. I named the woodchuck scout Woody Woodchuck because I figure it's the perfect name for him. The woodchuck scout might be Woody Woodchuck in the movie and changed him into the villain in the movie. I named the other scouts Zippy, Tank, Hornsby, and Hoofster for different reason. Zippy because zebras can be fast, Tank because hippos are as strong as a tank and is named after the bully from An Extremely Goofy Movie who turned good, Hornsby because the wildebeest has horns, and Hoofster because the hoofs from the horses.
Fun Fact #4: I gave Travis the last name Tight-Squeeze because ferrets have been known to squeeze underneath narrow places and come out another end of places. I've figure that tight-squeeze would be a good last name for him.
Fun Fact #5: I named the rabbit girl who got bullied by Gideon and Travis in the movie Dusk because she looks like the color of sunsets at night so I figured that Dusk would be a perfect name for her and made her Judy's cousin in this story because it's unknown if she's related to her.
That's it! Read and Review! No flames please!
