Zootopia – Springtime Circumstances

Chapter 29 – The Mystic Springs (Part 1)

(POV Judy)

„Hey buddy!" he greeted him on the phone, after he has been waiting for the connection for a couple of seconds. I was watching the red fox in great amusement as he wandered around in his apartment, totally nude as always, and his fur was standing into every direction because of the cold shower he just took. I wasn´t wearing anything either right now, but I was just laying there and watching him.

"It´s Nick, remember the snowman you saved from freezing a few days ago…" he chuckled, "How are you?"

"…that's good to hear! …yeah, I´m doing great as well, thanks for asking! …I just wanted to ask if you guys had anything planned for today already, because if not we wanted to offer you something cool to pay you guys back for the great things you did for us!" he got straightly to the point.

I was just trying to find out to whom of the three he was talking to, but I was pretty sure it was Rico.

"…well, since Judy and I finally have some free days from work, we wanted to just relax and enjoy an afternoon of wellness today. We thought it would be cool if you joined us, all on our expenses of course!"

"…yeah" he chuckled with a big smile, "I am sure. Why not? …and I have to give you back the clothes you lend me!"

"Yeah…go ask them, I´ll wait here!" he told him a moment later, before he turned towards me with a little smile.

"What do you think?" I asked him quickly.

He just nodded confidently, then the voice on his phone appeared again.

"…yeah? Awesome! What about we pick you up at 2PM? Sound´s good?"

"…cool! …yeah, I really could use some time to relax as well, Judy tortured me the whole morning already!" he joked with a big grin towards me, "…alright, see you later, take care!"

And with that he ended the call and dropped his phone onto the couch besides me.

"This is going to be great" I chuckled, "I´m already looking forward to some girl-talk about you guys!"

"Oh really, carrots?"

"Yeah" I smiled at him without any shame, "Sounds like fun already!"

POV Sarah

I didn´t believe him when he first told us about it. He was talking to Nick on the phone when he had picked it up in the living room, and they were about to invite us to a day of wellness. Even when I thought this day couldn´t get any better, I got surprised once again. After our nude breakfast, which covered our lunch as well a little because it was so late, everything just got more exciting. It was quarter to 2PM already, and I was hectically searching for something I could wear for now. We had been running around naked the entire forenoon already, and it had been an absolute blast, but I didn´t want to greet the two heroes of this city like this, obviously.

"Did he really say wellness?" I asked Rico once more, when I joined him in the living room once again a few minutes later. He was still examining the spots on the couch he cleaned from all the stains from earlier, and it had dried out quite well in the meanwhile, but he still wasn´t totally happy with it. So he had gotten another blanket from somewhere and placed it on top, to cover-up those spots once and for all. It still got me a little horny, just from thinking about what has caused all that in the first place.

"…pretty sure that´s what he said, yeah…" Rico affirmed, "…sounds exciting, doesn´t it?" he asked.

"I haven´t had any wellness in ages…" Ivonne giggled, "…but it´s about time, isn´t it?"

Just in that very moment our doorbell rang and we all stood straight because we were so excited. She went for the door immediately and opened up for them, we followed her into the hallway right away.

"Damn, you guys are looking good!" a very enthusiastic Nick greeted us happily when they arrived our door on the first floor, and Judy greeted us with the same enthusiasm, "So nice to see you!" she told us with a sisterly smile.

"It´s so nice that you thought about us!" Rico greeted back smoothly, while Nick was hugging him chummily.

"How could we not think about you? You guys practically saved our lives!" he explained, as he handed a white plastic bag over to him, "Thank you very much for lending it to me! It´s all washed and folded…"

"Still glad we could help you!" Rico smiled back, as he hugged Judy as well shortly.

They hugged Sarah and me too without any hesitation, and that was a pretty good feeling already. It gave us a lot of self-confidence in front of them. They were just as friendly, open and normal as last time, and we already felt comfortable with having them around once again. They didn´t wear their police uniforms this time, both of them actually just wore some thin summer clothing, although it usually was quite cold in our region of the city. But it suited them well, and I actually was quite glad that they didn´t come in their police uniforms. The atmosphere now was even less formal than last time.

"Are you guys ready?" Judy asked right away.

"Yeah…"

"…what have you guys planned exactly, just so I know I packed the right things…" I asked carefully.

"You know the mystical spring oasis?" Nick asked, "You don't net anything, practically" he chuckled with a little wink.

Sarah and I nodded, Rico just shrugged his shoulders once again.

"Yeah…?" he asked with an amused smile, "Does that work for you?"

"…but…but don´t you have to be a member there? I was just there for a free trial once, and…"

Officer Wilde nodded to that question, but he waved it off immediately.

"I´ve arranged that already" he told us with a little wink, "I know a lot of people, and one of them certainly works there as a receptionist… don´t worry about it..."

POV Rico

It really was cool hanging out with them. Even in the car we had a lot of fun already. They had borrowed a black undercover police cruiser for today and Nick Wilde in person was driving us towards that Mystic Spring Oasis thing they were talking about. I still couldn´t quite believe it. That couple was in the news so often in the last weeks, he especially, and they were hanging out with normal people like us.

He already was my biggest hero ever since I knew him, especially after what happened this morning. That mainly happened because of him and what he said at that day we let them in. That gave me so much confidence already, and he also impressed me with a lot more than just that.

The fox we saw in that awesome ZPD video. The fox who turned everybody crazy in a good way. It even felt epic just to have lend him some clothing. He was treating everybody with total respect and kindness, and it was the same story with Judy, who I admired for who she was since I first heard of her solving the Nighthowler´s Case. And I was pretty sure she was the only one who could tame him a little, because she was the perfect counterpart to him in any way. He was quite a wisecracker as it turned out, and he was quite a savage with some of his patters sometimes. A little did I believe that it would get slightly out of hand if she wasn´t controlling him that well, and that made them even more likeable. I had the time of my life already. Wherever we were going to, it would have been cool with them.

"…I…I haven´t been there in quite a while" Sarah confessed suddenly, when there was a little pause of talking in the car for a moment, and she seemed to be a little unsure all over sudden. Something was bothering her.

"…is there something wrong with that?" Judy asked her in a friendly way, "I´ve never really been there for myself either…"

"…well…I was pretty much alone last time, because I had some coupon for it or something like that, and it wasn´t exactly that nice of an experience…"

"How come?" Nick asked, sounding a little concerned right away as well.

"…well" she shyly began again, "I felt pretty alone and helpless last time, and this one guy who worked there was quite…"

"Oh god, that idiot" Nick sighed noddingly, immediately knowing who she was talking about.

"You know him?" Sarah asked right away, and Nick continued on nodding, but still concentrated on the road before him.

"…buffed brown fox, short ears, permanent stupid grin and a fake necklace with a seashell around his neck?" he asked then, and she nodded at every single word.

"Exactly!" she agreed, "He was being such a bigheaded, arrogant and disgusting…"

Nick still nodded.

"You know that guy?" Judy asked him with big interest as well.

"Oh, that guy hates me" he chuckled back, "…but don´t worry! If he is there as well today, which isn´t unlikely since he works there, he will have a huge problem as soon as he starts annoying you…" he told us.

"What did you do to make him hate you that much?" Judy asked teasingly and with a big grin, "I´m curious!"

"…well, he really is quite a block-head…and like Sarah described it very accurately, he is an ignorant asshole to most of the people, except for the ladies he finds attractive…to them he is a giant nuisance…"

"Oh…I see where this is going" the hare grinned at him shamelessly, and I couldn´t hide a little grin.

"…no!" he waved it off, "…well, yes…kind off…" he tried explaining, but we all couldn´t stop laughing anymore. I wasn´t quite sure if it was appropriate to laugh about something like this in their presence, but he wasn´t mad about it at all.

"…skipping all that" Nick began again, "…he had, or still has, a female colleague which he likes really much, a very kind and friendly vixen called Anita, who is a great masseuse by the way, but she didn´t like assholes like him very much either… …he was just flexing his steroid-pumped muscles all day long, but he still hadn´t learned that that doesn´t really impress her…it annoyed the hell out of her to be exact…and it didn´t impress many of the other ladies either…"

"So…what does impress her?" Judy asked him with no mercy, and sadly for him, that was equally funny to everybody else as well. I loved how cool she was with that.

"…anyways" he ended the topic quite smoothly, "We´re all here to enjoy a nice, relaxed afternoon, and if that prick tries to annoy any of you, I will distinctly tell him to take some distance…"

"Okay" Sarah agreed happily, "Now I´m even more excited about it!"

"This is going to get quite interesting today" Judy added with a little smirk, "I think we´re going to have a lot of fun there today, aren´t we, ladies?"

It was fascinating how quickly Ivonne and Sarah agreed with her, nodding and giggling excitedly with big dirty grins on their faces. I had no idea Judy was this open with topics like that, but she really seemed to be anticipating it as well. They really were normal animals and not just police officers.

"Yeah…" Nick sighed, "I will just chill out in the water or lay in the sun the whole afternoon…"

"You don´t really believe that, do you?" Judy asked with a big grin, "I´m going to make you play volleyball right away, lazy bum!"

"There is a volleyball court too?" I asked with big excitement. I loved that sport, but I haven't played it in forever.

"Oh, there are a lot of good things the hot guys can do while we keep on watching them very closely" Judy grinned, and she got a lot of support for that idea once again.

"Too bad Rico doesn´t have his guitar with him" Sarah giggled, "That would be so good as well…"

At first, I was thinking about answering something ironic to that, but soon I discovered that there wasn´t even a need to. I just enjoyed their girly giggling and the big, proud grin that suddenly crept onto Nicks face while hearing it. I felt really cool all over sudden.

POV Nick

I was a little proud of hearing that from Ivonne and Sarah. They seemed to be totally impressed with what he did this morning, although I haven´t witnessed it for myself, obviously. I could tell by his smile that he was a little proud of it too, and that was all I wanted. I didn´t want him to feel bad this whole day because of my stupid SMA title, and now he seemed to have all the self-confidence in the world. This felt like it was going to be an awesome afternoon already.

"…oh I´m sure I´ll find a guitar somewhere for you" I chuckled in amusement, although I was not really sure about it. I would ask for one in any case, that was for sure.

"I thought this was about wellness" he complained ironically, "Why do I have to work now?"
"Because you´re freaking awesome at it" Ivonne chuckled, just as I turned left to cross the street and enter the parking lot.

"I´m doing it like Nick and just relax today" he waved it off with a little grin, "I like that idea!"

"There, you see?" Nick told Judy with a big grin, "This guy knows what I´m on about!"

We all chuckled a little about that, and after I had turned down the engine, we got out of the car.

At the reception we met Yax, who was standing there nude like always, his collection of necklaces -which even got a little bigger since the last time I saw him- hung around his neck, like always, and the flies were still circling around his "all-natural" hair.

"Nick!" he greeted me, sounding as relaxed as ever, "Dude…how are you?"

"Hi man!" I greeted him back, "…I´m very good, thanks for asking!"

"You guys came to relax today?" he asked right away.

"Yeah, those are all friends of mine, I think you know Judy already…" I chuckled.

"Yeah, totally! I have seen you guys in the news lately!" he told us proudly.

"Yeah, …anyways" I smiled, "no matter the costs, it´s all on me today!"

"Sure dude, no problem!" he nodded, before he just pointed at the entrance, "Just through that door, changing rooms are on the left. Have a good afternoon!"

"We will, thanks buddy!" I told him, before I opened the door for the others and waved them in.

"Alright…" Judy announced, "…we meet at the volleyball court when we´re finished, don´t we?" she then asked enthusiastically, because the changing rooms were separated of course.

"Yeah…the hot springs pool sounds good to me" I affirmed her with a big ironic grin, before I opened the door of the men´s changing rooms. She just gave me that mischievous smile once again which I loved so much, and then she disappeared in the ladies changing room for herself, quickly followed by the giggling Ivonne and Sarah.

"Wow" Rico commented carefully, as the door fell back into its look behind us and we went for the next free lockers in the isle.

"Yeah…she is so mean to me, isn´t she?" I asked ironically.

He just grinned a little but still was too shy to say anything as it seemed.

"…no…" he said then, "…it´s just that, …this morning I thought that this day couldn´t get any better anymore…"

That made me grin proudly even more. I just found some free lockers in the meanwhile and came to a halt, before I tossed my bag with the towels and shampoo onto the bank and began undressing myself slowly.

"…come on, don´t leave me hanging there, what happened?" I wanted to know, because he still couldn´t get that happy but somehow mischievous smirk of his face.

"So…I went for the bathroom this morning…and…Sarah stopped me in the hallway. She just had found that video the ZPD released this morning, you know, where that vixen has confessed that that bullshit about you was just a fake…"

I nodded a little, "That was a hell of a lot of work yesterday" I chuckled.

"Oh, but it was so worth it! And I knew she was making that up in the first place!" he told me with gleaming eyes, "I knew you wouldn´t have done something like that!"

"I´m so glad to hear that" I smiled, "I was hoping that at least some guys still believed in me…"

"Yeah, even I was pissed about hearing that, that kept me awake at night for days!" he told me.

"But hey" I chuckled, "That nightmare is over now, so what could go wrong from now on anyways?"

He nodded with an ironic but happy little smile.

"Oh" he added, "…and I couldn´t stop watching that video by the way, it was so amazing! …and that´s a compliment if a guy tells you that …I think!" he told me with another little chuckle.

That made me grin even a little more, because his enthusiasm was not to be stopped anymore from all over sudden.

"…anyways…then Ivonne joined us at the kitchen table, and she also was in this like crazy, flirty mood all over sudden…"

He surely noticed that I was anticipating something already.

"…and when I came back after my shower, they called me into the kitchen once again and had stripped away all their clothes! I´m not joking!" he told me, before he began undoing his own t-shirt now.

"Please tell me you…" I told him with a slightly dirty smile, and he nodded right away.

"They wanted me to come with just my guitar and nothing else. They didn´t even allow me any clothing…so I played for them a little…"

I was just finished with undressing myself completely and began stuffing everything into the little locker, followed by my phone, my wallet and my keychain.

"…come on, don´t be such a tease!" I grinned.

"…they tore me apart completely afterwards" he smiled proudly.

"Hell yeah" I grinned with a little wink, before I offered him a high five, "That´s what I wanted to hear buddy!"

"…I…I never believed this would happen someday!"

"Why not?"

"…not quite sure…I always thought I was just the boring roommate…and it´s not like all the girls fly onto me when I get my shirt off either…"

I just chuckled a little at his wink, because he obviously was still a little uncomfortable because of my suddenly nude appearance. It´s not like he didn´t see me like this before, but now that he had everything put into his locker as well, it suddenly was much bigger of a deal apparently.

"…so now you know better" I told him, "And the girls didn´t look like they weren´t satisfied to me" I added in all honesty.

Obviously, I was checking him out as well quickly, and I could tell right away that he wasn´t doing bad for a fox either. There was no reason for him to worry about anything. I wanted him to feel like that too.

"Heh…well, …yeah" he hesitated, "I did alright I guess…"

"That´s what I wanted to hear!" I told him proudly, "There is no need to make yourself smaller than you are!"

"…but…well, yeah…" he tried directing the topic onto me again.

"…well yeah nothing!" I stopped him, "If I was a girl, I would be totally into such a handsome motherfucker like you!" I chuckled, "You´re a great musician as what I´ve just heard, which alone is super-awesome, there is nothing wrong with your body at all and also you´re the greatest gentleman I´ve ever met!"

"…You think?"

"Totally! And seriously, don´t mind about that stupid SMA thing or any of that trash, I don't care about it either. I´m not worth more than you, and I don´t want you to believe that either, you got me?" I cleared it up once and for all.

"Got it" he smiled, "…feels good to hear that from you personally!"

"Thanks! That´s all I wanted to clarify…I want you to enjoy this day just as much as I do, and I can tell you already that this is going to be great right now!"

"Yeah? …I can´t tell, I never really had any wellness before…"

"I´m pretty sure you´ll love this place right away" I told him, as I waved him to follow me, "Right this way!"

POV Ivonne

At first, I believed she was just playing. Like she wanted to find out what we were thinking about Nick and herself, but pretty soon I found out that we could really trust her. She was just as excited to talk to us as we were, and that was great fun in the changing rooms already. But the first topic we talked about wasn´t even Nick actually, it was Rico. She surely was interested in what happened this morning when we mentioned him playing guitar for us earlier, and it didn´t take her long to find out everything she needed.

"Haven´t I told you?" she asked with a dirty little grin, "You just need to encourage him a little…"

"You can´t believe how hot that was this morning" Sarah whispered with a girly giggle, "He just seems so innocent all the time…"

"Yeah, but he did well though!" I agreed, "I wasn´t expecting him to be this talented…"

"I can´t wait to take a closer look at him as well" Judy told us with a mischievous little grin. She even winked us a little, because she obviously knew that we were checking out Nick as well, and that was nothing but awesome. I never imagined her to be this cool with that. But I didn´t see anything wrong with that either, why shouldn´t we make a big fuzz about it?

"Oh, I love this so much!" I told her excitedly, "That was such a great idea!"

"I hope that makes up for your help a little" she waved it off, "And I was excited for it too, this is so much fun already!" she chuckled, as we all were about to leave the changing rooms, "Come on, let´s see what else we get today!"

POV Judy

We had the paradise laying right in front of us. I had been here before with Nick, but that was for work and to find out about that otter who was missing back then. Now I saw this place with much different eyes, and contrary to my first time, I really loved this place right now. Many different mammals from all kinds were relaxing on the little beach, in the many different pools or just on the green grass, and it was so utter- but beautifully peaceful here that I felt just like at home right away. Also, nobody seemed to notice me for now, and we were not exactly alone here.

"Oh, this is so beautiful" Ivonne commented happily, "Why didn´t we think of something like that earlier?"

"Yeah" I chuckled, "I wonder that too…Nick was the one who had the idea this morning…"

"For a good reason" he explained that, just as he and Rico joined us from behind, "You were about to beat me up once again, remember?" he chuckled.

I just shook my head with an ironical little grin.

"…I…personally" Rico chuckled now, "I would prefer this over getting beat up by you as well…"

"Yeah, me too" Nick grinned widely while pointing at him, "I did a wise choice I would say!"

"Watch your words, foxy" I warned him with an ironic smile.

Instead of replying anything, he simply walked up to me, picked me up carefully and kissed me softly.

POV Rico

I couldn´t stop staring. Neither at him, nor at Judy. Her petite but strong body was nothing but sexy. The natural happy glow of her eyes brought a smile onto everybody´s face, and the way she controlled that beast of a fox was just impressive. It maybe was just wrong, but I couldn´t stop myself from imagining them when they were going at it. I would also have traded with Nick if I was totally honest, but just watching would be more than just satisfying already. Even watching his body turned me on a little, I couldn´t deny it. He really looked like a porn star, Ivonne and Sarah haven´t been lying about this, but it really didn´t matter to him at all. He was treating everybody with so much respect that I couldn´t understand how anybody doesn´t like him as a person. I was a little jealous at first, I couldn´t deny it, but seeing how he really didn't even remotely try to humble me or to put himself above all the other males let my self-confidence grow with every minute.

"Check out how many things we can do here!" Sarah pointed out excitedly, just as I joined them a little closer and Nick put Judy back down on her feet.

"Yeah…laying down and taking a nap for example!" Nick suggested, before he took the lead towards the main attraction of this place right away, the beach.

We all followed him in agreement of that suggestion. Although it looked a little different at first, they got noticed now. They all were staring at the couple dumbfoundedly, and it wasn´t stopping until we arrived at the sandy part with the giant pool of this resort. Nick and Judy noticed that as well off course, but they ignored it totally.

"Hey carrots, look!" Nick pointed out suddenly, just to distract her as it turned out. Then he lifted her up high above her head so she couldn´t free herself anymore. He turned around and winked me quickly.

"Hey Rico!" he told me, "I know a brilliant trick to test the temperature of the water without even touching it, look!"

"Niiiick!" Judy yelled, as he threw her into the pool carefully.

"Ha! Got you again!" he grinned, and that amused the whole resort as it seemed, us included.

"But" I joined in, "…it would be more accurate, if…" I laughed, before I picked up Sarah by surprise and carried her towards the water quickly, "…if the other girls tested it too!"

"Noo" she yelled excitedly, but there was no getting away from it anymore.

"Let me help you with that!" Nick supposed, as he picked up Ivonne quickly, who had tried to avoid it as well but had no success with it either. We had caught them off guard totally, and oh boy, that was fun. We tossed both of them into the water as well, right next to Judy, and then high fived each other in victory.

"Yeah man!" Nick grinned excitedly, "That´s how things work today, 1-0 for the dudes!"

A lot of the other customers around us where still laughing and cheering with us loudly, and it was just fantastic. Nobody had an idea who I was, but I was hanging out with the heroes of Zootopia. And they were like best friends with us, I never felt this cool before. But what happened next was a little unexpected. Nick grinned at me suddenly and before I could even have reacted he had grabbed me by the sides as well with his ridiculously strong arms and catapulted me high into the air with that.

"Whoa! Holy shiiit" I yelled in shock, as everybody watched me flying through the air and spectacularly landing in the water besides the girls.

"Ha! The dudes 1, Nick 2!" he announced, before he dived into the wonderfully warm spring water right next to us a moment later.

"Oh you´re so getting revenge for that, Nicky!" Judy told him excitedly, before she splashed some water into his face.

"So, Rico, how do you like it being thrown into the water?" Sarah snickered, before she did the same to me which Judy did to Nick, splashing water into my face.

"That was so awesome! I was like ten feet in the air!"

"Yeah…" Nick agreed with a chuckle, "I´m doing far too much movement again already…"

Just when he said that, Judy hugged him around his neck and pulled his head underwater shortly. Before I even realized, Ivonne and Sarah had begun tackling and pushing me as well and we ended up in a huge but very funny battle of water that kept on going for a couple of minutes, until everybody was too exhausted to continue. It has been a while since I had this much fun the last time, but now I just wanted to get a little rest from it. I was not the only one, apparently.

I´m gonna go take a nap in the sun!" Nick right away announced just what I was thinking of doing as well, and then he slowly went on his way out of the water towards the beach."

"That's the Nick I know" Judy commented with a chuckle, "Lazy as always!"

"Yeah, yeah, carrots! Love you too, sweetheart!" he replied while walking off, "Catch ya later!"

"Just look at them staring" I pointed out in amusement as he was out of earshot a few seconds later. Everybody was still watching him and his body, the woman around especially.

"Yeah…he is quite an eye-catch, isn´t he?" Judy chuckled.

"Oh, I think I would be showing off so badly right now if I had his body…" I grinned, "I´m quite impressed by him not doing it…"

"But I don´t think you can complain about yourself either" Judy told me with a little wink, "I think we´ve all seen by far worse looking guys like you!"

"Yeah, we were saying that too this morning, didn´t we?" Ivonne supported her, and made it even harder for me not to blush therefore.

"Haha…just look at him" Sarah giggled, "Still so cute and innocent, poor little Rico…"

"Aww…" Judy giggled happily, "Just look at his mischievous little grin" she commented, "…he´s not that innocent over all, is he?"

"You know… a gentleman never tells…" I chuckled, before I slowly went on my way to join Nick on the beach. I really liked the idea of laying in the sand and just doing nothing for a little while, "…see you later ladies, gonna take a nap as well!"

POV Ivonne

It was so awesome being here. Rico had so much more self-confidence as well all over sudden, Nick and Judy were treating us just like good friends, and what we saw was sexy as hell already. Sarah and I had seen them in a swimming pool at that ZPD party already, but we were much to shy to even get close to them back then. Now, we all were completely nude and came as close as throwing each other into the water just for fun. Nothing of that mattered to anybody, it was just fine like that. Judy really was a smoking hot girl as well, there was no denying it, but she really was down to earth about it as well. She was looking at other guys too, rated them and also really enjoyed the dirty girl-talk with us. It was too good to be true.

"See those bunny guys over there?" Sarah suddenly pointed out excitedly.

"You mean the ones on the volleyball court?" Judy giggled.

"Some pretty hot ones among them as well, aren't they?"

"Yeah…" Judy agreed with a dirty smile, "Not bad…"

"Oh, I bet they would be begging about your attention so badly!" I smirked with a little wink.

"Oh yeah!" Sarah agreed excitedly, "I wonder how they would react seeing you here."

"…let´s see if I can annoy my little fox a little with that a little later" she grinned excitedly, "although that could get a little difficult maybe…"

"Why?"

"There is no bunny in the world who could get dangerous for Nick in any way" she chuckled, and she surely had a point with that, "…not on any physical level. I know that, they know that and certainly he knows that" she explained, "I guess they would not even try it. And apart from that, this fox means the world to me…and he knows that as well."

"Yeah, Nick really is a great guy…"

"Besides his great body" Sarah added with a little grin. We trailed of that topic a little when we suddenly saw something else quite interesting:

"You see that brown fox over there?" Judy pointed out. The guy she pointed at was massively buffed as well, even a little more than Nick, had a cheap looking necklace with a seashell around his neck and he was walking around like the king of this oasis. He was coming right from that corner with the volleyball court and it looked like he was on a routine walk or something, nevertheless coming into our direction slowly.

"Oh god…" Sarah groaned, "That´s the guy Nick has been talking about, he still works here…"

"God, he even looks like an idiot" I agreed, "Not quite sure if I want to get to know him…"

"I´m quite curious actually" Judy giggled. He was nearly in earshot already and coming right towards us now, "Let´s see what he´s up to."

"Hi ladies" he told us with a stupid but nevertheless very self-confident smile, crossing his arms in a weird pose, "Is there something wrong, you looked at me, like…"

"Like?" Judy asked with a mischievous smile.

"…I…I dunno, like…"

"I was just wondering why you´re the only guy around here who is wearing pants…" I interrupted his stupid stuttering with an evil little smirk.

"That´s because…" he grinned stupidly, "…I don't want to disturb anybody because of the effect all you beautiful ladies have on me…"
"Oh come on, really?" I asked in annoyance, and Judy really had a hard time to hold back her laughter.

"What´s so funny my darling?" he asked, still not ashamed about his pitiful arrival.

"Has your dick fallen off because of all the steroids you take?" Sarah snickered with an evil little smile. She really was a little cocky about it now, but it was funny to watch nevertheless.

"What makes you think I would…" he began, but he suddenly got interrupted by a colleague of his, as it turned out soon afterwards.

She was a fire-red, slender but rather beautiful vixen with a blue flower behind her ear, and I liked her from the first second, not only because of the way she shut up that annoying bloke.

"…Freddy, stop annoying our guests, why don´t you just give that a rest for today, just an advice…" she told him with a little smirk, before she turned towards us for a second.

"Excuse my colleague please" she told us in a friendly way, "I´m Anita, nice to meet you guys!"

"Hi" Judy greeted her back happily, "Nice to meet you!"

"…I´m a masseuse here" Anita finished introducing herself quickly, "…just tell me if you´re interested, I´d be glad to help!"

"Oh that sounds great already" I smiled back thankfully. Judy and Sarah both seemed liked her as well from the first moment, and it was clear right away that she was rather on our side than on the one of her colleague. I noticed that she also had an amused little smile on her face already, and I believed I knew where this was coming from.

"I was just getting to know them a little" Freddy complained about getting interrupted like that.

"You were trying to impress them with your pumped-up muscles, like you always do" she cut him off again, "And there is a reason why you nearly never succeed with that, especially today!" she grinned towards us.

Freddy just looked a little confused.

"He was talking about you" Judy let her know with a little smile.

"Yeah, I´ve just seen him laying there on the sand…" she grinned with big eyes, "Still quite a catch, isn´t he?" she asked Judy with a little wink.

"Who?" Freddy wanted to know, now a little suspicious already, "What are you talking about?"

"Didn´t you…I don't know…wonder why all the girls are over there at the beach?" his colleague asked him with a little chuckle, "And not here looking at you little show-off…"

She was right, there were quite a few canine ladies watching the sleeping Nick and Rico from not too much of a distance.

"Can´t blame them" Judy chuckled lightheartedly.

Freddy surely was trying to find out more about it now, and seeing his reaction change was utterly satisfying and hilarious.

"…oh that little fucker" he sighed, "What is he doing here, I thought I made my point clear last time…" he added, now even a little aggressively.

"Be careful on messing with that `little fucker´" Judy told him with an amused smirk.

"Yeah, Freddy!" his colleague reminded him, "…just let it be, okay? He is just a guest here like everybody else. And he is as interested in me as I am interested in you, so that's about…not at all" she stated dryly.

"Its all because of him, it wouldn´t be like that if he didn't…" he became a little louder right away, and he really seemed to be really angered about hearing it now, "…I…I…I´m going to show him his place once and for all!" he announced, before he straightly went on his way towards him. Anita tried stopping him right away. Although none of us had a clue what he was even talking about, it looked like it could get interesting already. I wanted to ask her so many questions already.

"No" Judy waved off and held her back smoothly, "I want to see that!" she chuckled, "This is looking interesting already!"

"But…but I don't want Nick to get hurt because of…"

"Don´t worry" Judy waved it off again, "It´s not easy to beat him down, he´s gotten a lot faster and stronger in the last few month…"

"Yeah, I was about to mention it already" Anita chuckled, "He has been working out since I saw him last time…hasn´t he?"

"Suits him well, doesn´t it?" Judy smiled back warmly.

"Oh, I´m so glad you came to visit us once in a while! Haven´t seen him in so long, and I wanted to get to know you personally since I´ve first heard about you already!" Anita began telling us, still carefully watching Freddy, like we all did, "A good friend of mine was affected by that cruel Nighthowler´s thing…I was so glad you guys put an end to that, and I was so proud of him for finally making something out of his life…"

"We´re glad to be here too, we really needed some time to relax since everything that has been happening in the last few weeks…" Judy explained with a little smile.

"Yeah, I´ve heard about that in the News, this must have been…"

POV Nick

I was woken up quite harshly because the sunlight had disappeared suddenly. When I took a quick look around, I noticed that a lot of canine ladies and also some other mammals had gathered around me. Rico has been sleeping right besides me in the sand but was now becoming awake as well. Then I suddenly noticed the source of shadow that has woken me up.

"Look who we have here" I was greeted, and I just looked at the pumped-up douchebag I was talking about earlier. He really was here today, and I was pretty sure why he was coming to say hello right now.

I ignored him first of all and didn´t move an inch, I wanted to find out what he was up to first.

"…you really have balls to show up here again" he continued, crossing his arms quite visibly, "I have to say, I´m impressed."

"Would you mind stepping out of the sun, buddy?" I asked him plainly, still not moving at all from where I was laying.

Some of the other guests around us started giggling, Ivonne, Sarah and Judy included, who came a little closer as well I just noticed.

"You better pay me some respect, Wilde! You messed everything up for me!"

"What did I mess up?"

"My reputation!"

"Nope. You did that all by yourself."

"You were just jealous on my workout and my affect on the ladies!" he became louder.

"Oh boy, that dumb shit again" I mumbled.

"What was that?" he screamed, now stepping even closer to my head with his feet.

"I mean…how do I say this…you were a dick to everybody. And you still are. Probably that´s the reason why you have no success with that. And about your effect on the ladies: I´m not quite sure if its because of you why everybody has gathered around us now, I was asleep for half an hour, but if it´s because of you, why aren't you happy with that and enjoy it?"

"Shut up. They were here when I came already. Just because you have been on the news a couple of times does not mean…"

"You´re still causing shadow" I interrupted him dryly, "Could you step aside, please?"

"That´s enough" he yelled, really aggressive now, "You little fucking poser! One more word and I…"

"Are trying to threaten a police officer and paying guest with violence now?" I chuckled in amusement, obviously not to his liking.

"I´m serious. You don't belong here, they shouldn't even have let you in! One more word of your stupid mouth and I´m going to pull my shorts down and piss on your fucking face, did you get me?!" he growled.

Now everybody around us really watched with great interest. Not that those words provoked me in any way, but now everybody anticipated something big to happen. I even was anticipating it for myself a little if I was totally honest, because I´ve had this coming for a long time already.

"Look, Freddy" I told him, still not even lifting my head off the ground, "I understand that you´re a little mad, but it´s not my fault she doesn´t want to have anything to do with you. You think you´re a king, but actually you´re just a joke who is treating everybody like shit. You´re not impressing anybody with your steroid-pumped muscles or that fake five-dollar seashell necklace. You have one last chance to get out of the sun, otherwise this is going to end pretty embarrassing for you."

POV Rico

This escalated a little quicker than I had anticipated it. But I was hyped, I loved where this was going already. Nicks words hurt the weird fox guy with the light blue shorts a lot obviously, and he made himself look even more like an idiot. There was just one reason why all the girls where standing around us, obviously, and that reason was Nick. Everybody was laughing at the pumped-up brown fox with anticipating faces. Now I could nearly feel how Nick prepared his body for what was coming, and that was so exciting already. I really hoped I would see him fighting right now, it looked so epic in the videos already.

"I´ll show you something embarrassing!" Freddy yelled in anger now, before he attempted to grab Nick with his paws and lift him off the ground or something. But he was not fast enough. Nick lifted his back into the air like a lightning and landed on his feet half a second later. The other guy didn´t even touch him before he had turned around and faced him. Now I tried my best to sit up and get a few feet back so I had a better view on the scene.

"Look, Freddy" Nick told him once again, "We don't have to do this. I´m really just here to relax, I didn´t come to annoy you."

"Oh, the little bitch is scared all over sudden!"

"Are you intending to provoke me with that?" Nick chuckled back.

"Look how scared he is! Now he realizes what a little shit he is… don´t worry, it´ll be over soon anyways…"

"Hopefully" he sighed ironically.

"Stop crying already."

"So, you want to settle this right here right now?" Nick wanted to make it clear, "Mano a mano?"

"I´m gonna teach you to show me the respect I deserve!"

"What do I get if I win?" Nick asked, acting like he knew that he had no chance anyways.

"Ha! Haha! Hahaha! If you beat me, I…"

Everybody was still staring in anticipation, and most of them were shaking their heads a little. As if that guy hadn´t seen any news in the last few weeks, as if he didn´t knew what Nick was capable of.

"…I´ll suck you off for free if you beat me. In front of all these people" he told him then, still totally confident. Nobody could hide an excited little grin after hearing that, not even Nick. But he caught himself quickly and looked serious again a second later.

"…and you promise to stop annoying your colleagues and the other guests who have no interest in you?" Nick added boldly.

"If that makes you happy" he grunted, "Keep on believing that. But if I win, I will throw your unconscious ass out of here and you never show up here again!"

Nick acted like he was thinking about it for one last time, but we obviously knew that he was just playing with him.

"Deal" he agreed then, "Sound´s fair to me."

"Finally. I´ve been waiting for this!" he announced, as he lifted his fists into the air, stretching his muscles a little more.

Nick was still just casually standing there with an amused little smile.

"Me too" he answered him calmly and with a superior little grin he didn´t see, "Me too, Freddy."

Who is known for the worst Cliffhangers in the world? You guessed it: It´s me. I´m sorry for that again, hope it doesn´t take me to long for next one this time. It´s going to be good though, I really have fun writing it already.

Anyways, tell me what you think, I´m curious! Also, I´m always down to talk to you guys in the PMs, just feel free to contact me anytime you like!

Hope you guys have a great spring and a great time in general!

See you soon!
