The bright light that came through the window finally woke Judy up, she wiggled out of the bedsheets, then the bunny stretched and yawned before noticing that Nick wasn't beside her.
Her ears tensed when the bathroom door opened and the fox walked out with slightly wet fur and a towel around his waist.
"Morning, Carrots" smiled Nick when he saw Judy sitting on the bed.
"Morning" replied the bunny as he rubbed one of her eyes.
"Did you sleep well?" asked the fox as he walked up to the dresser to take some clothes.
"Yeah, this bed is much more comfortable than mine" she lay down again.
"Well...you should start getting ready for the picnic" Nick took a black t-shirt and a pair of jeans before walking in the bathroom to dress up.
Judy slowly got out of bed and walked to the dresser, she grabbed her pink shirt and jeans before knocking on the bathroom door.
"Nick?" the bunny called him as she leaned to listen closely.
Suddenly, the door opened and she backed up.
"I'll be downstairs having some breakfast" the fox patted her head before leaving the room.
5 MINUTES LATER...
After taking a shower, Judy dried her grey fur with a towel and put on the clothes she got from the dresser. The bunny got out of the room and walked downstairs, where Beth, Connie, Viv, and Nick were having breakfast.
"Mornin', Judith" the fox's mother greeted the bunny as she sat at the table.
"Good morning, Viv," said Judy as she grabbed the cup Nick left for her and poured some coffee into it.
"You look nice, bunny" Beth complimented her as she sipped her infusion.
"Thanks" Judy took a piece of toast and spread butter on it with a knife.
"Yeah, maybe one of these days you can stop by the boutique so I can lend you a cute outfit," said Connie after drinking her third cup of coffee.
"That would be great" smiled the bunny before she started eating.
"So...you guys have some plans for the evening?" asked Beth while pouring maple syrup on her oatmeal.
"No" answered the fox after looking at Judy.
"Oh!, perhaps we could go to Alonso's happy hour" proposed the youngest vixen.
"Sounds fun" the bunny finished her cup of coffee.
"Yeah, I'm in" Nick drank a glass of juice.
"Great, I'll text Maggie..." she took out her phone "...I'm sure she can get us a good table"
"Mmm...by the way, where are Aunt Linda and Tom?" asked the fox as he took the dirty dishes to the kitchen.
"Well, she insisted on opening the bakery so she took Tommy to help her...they should be back around 12" explained Viv.
"Poor Tom" laughed Connie as she walked to the kitchen to help her cousin.
The bunny and the two vixens kept chatting while the other two foxes did the dishes.
"So...how was your first night with Judy?...or was it even the first?" Connie crossed her arms.
"Didn't Beth tell you we're not dating?" said Nick as he tidied the dry dish.
"Yeah, but coming here with a bunny and, not only gazing at each other like you were lovers but sleeping together...causes a bit of confusion" she walked out of the kitchen.
"Wh-what do you mean by gazing at each other like lovers?" he dried his paws with a cloth and followed his cousin.
Both foxes walked back to the living room, where Judy and the other two vixens were sitting on the couch.
"Mom, what are you doing?" asked Nick as he saw his mother holding a big book and sitting next to the bunny.
"Oh...I'm just showing Judy some pictures" Viv lifted a photo album with pictures of the fox.
"Pfft" chuckled Connie before sitting next to her mother.
"Mom-" could say Nick before she interrupted him.
"Aw, look at this one" the vixen warmly smiled.
"You look so cute in the ranger uniform," said Judy before the fox sat next to her.
Nick's frown disappeared as the bunny smiled at him, he slowly got close to her as they went through most of the fox's pictures. She ended up resting her head on his shoulder while the vixens just admired such an adorable scene.
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
The sound of Beth's phone interrupted them.
"Hmm...it's Linda..." she took out her phone "...she says they'll be here in around 5 minutes...I'll go get the van" the vixen stood up and walked to a door that led to the garage.
Meanwhile, Viv and her niece took a picnic basket with all the leftovers of last night's dinner and some more food they prepared early in the morning.
A FEW MINUTES LATER...
Beth parked the van in front of the house so the rest of the family could get in, both mothers sat in the front, Connie sat behind them, leaving two seats for Linda and Tom, and Nick and Judy sat on the back seats.
"By the way, where are we going?" asked the fox.
"Well...I was thinking about the Verdú Park" suggested Viv.
Their conversation was interrupted by the baker and her son, who opened the door and got in the van.
"Good morning everyone" cheerfully said Linda before sitting down.
"Okay, are you all ready?" asked Beth before turning on the engine.
The vixen started driving through the streets of Foxville, letting the passengers of the van admire a great view of the coast and the blue sea.
Finally, they arrived, Beth parked the van in front of the entrance of the park and the foxes and the bunny got out and grabbed all the stuff that was in the back of the van, the basket, a tablecloth, and a portable fridge to carry the drinks.
When they were all ready they walked into the park, whose entrance was decorated with two columns and a metal sign with the name of the park, Verdú.
