True Love Defined v2 (AU) Chapter 12, a zootopia fanfic

A/N: After the seriousness in last chapter, I decided to do a little fluff piece. Not too fluffy but just enough. Thanks again to Uzrfrndly and EmberLarelle276 for the inspirational story and comic.

I do not own the rights to any of the music, I have modified the lyrics of some of the songs to fit my story and I have included the links at the end of the story for those who do want to hear the actual version. I do not own the characters of Zootopia. ©Disney does, however, John Wilde is a figment of my imagination and from other writers as well. Feedback is appreciated.

Nick closed the door to his guest bedroom to let Judy recover from the day's events. He didn't blame her for being exhausted. It's not everyday that an old boyfriend kidnaps you from under your boss' nose. He chuckled and wished he could have seen Jack's face when he discovered that Nick had been able to sabotage his well-laid plans.

As he entered the kitchen, he realized that Judy hadn't had anything to eat since probably breakfast and it would be getting pretty close to evening once she awoke from her nap. She would probably be ravenous so he decided to prepare something warm and hearty for her. He pulled out a steamer and gathered the necessary ingredients for a lentil soup dish.

2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 cup of finely chopped carrots
1 cup of finely chopped celery
1 cup of finely chopped onions
1 large head of garlic, unpeeled
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups Dry lentil beans
1 can of crushed tomatoes
2 liters vegetable broth
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Nick rinsed out the lentils and placed them in the pot. Then, he made a small dent in the beans and nested the head of garlic in it. He then added all the ingredients into the pot, stirred everything in, then covered it and allowed it to simmer on the wood-fed stove on medium heat for an hour.

As Nick stepped out of his bungalow, he surveyed his surroundings. The Beech Tree, as he had fondly christened their camp, was a natural cavern situated under a large sequoia tree that he and his companions had converted into a living quarters for five small cottages. They relied on solar power and the stream outside the cavern for their basic energy needs. Mirrors had been arranged all around the cave so that natural sunlight served to light the interior.

The cottages were laid out in a circle with a large space in the middle reserved for gatherings. He went over to Clawhauser's cottage to see if he could get a nice large baguette and some pastries for their dinner from the cheetah. He greeted Ben as he entered the cheetah's cottage through the kitchen door. "Hey Ben, I'm wondering if you could spare some of your delicious homemade bread and butter? I'll need it for tonight's dinner with Judy. Oh, would you still happen to have some Pain au chocolat and croissants as well?"

"Sure, Nick! I'd be happy to give you some. We want to make sure the little bunny regains all her strength now, don't we?" Ben chuckled.

"Ben, you sap!" Nick said good-naturedly. "The baguette and butter will go well with the lentil soup. And your boulangerie products are definitely the best in Canidae."

"Oh, you're just saying that, Nick." Ben blushed. "Anyway," Ben continued, "I've contacted the rest of the pack and most of them will be coming over tonight for a small celebration. We'll have some tables in the center and I'll prepare some food for tonight's gathering. It's karaoke night tonight!" Ben grinned.

"Sounds like a plan, Ben," Nick smiled as he gathered the items he needed for his and Judy's supper. "Judy and I will see you later around 7."

Nick got back to his cottage to continue preparing the meal for Judy. He opened a small alcove in the wall where he had built a small wine cellar. Since they were underground, the walls of the cave served as a natural cooler where he stored several wines from various regions of the world. He selected a wine from the region of Rioja, which he knew would go well with the soup. He opened the bottle of wine to let it breathe.

He cut the baguette into thin slices, placed them on a cookie sheet, which he then put into the oven at 160C for a few minutes. He allowed the butter to stand outside for a while in order to reach room temperature. Ben had created the butter using milk from neighbouring dairy farms run by wild cows. They willingly traded their milk for some of the moonshine that Finnick made. Nick shuddered at the memory of that deadly potion. He had once made the mistake of taking a shot of it on a dare and he swore that his throat had not healed till this day. Suffice to say that if ever there was a gas shortage, Finnick's concoction could be used to run the backup generators.

He checked on the soup and was satisfied with the aroma coming from the steamer. He gathered ceramic plates that his mother had passed on to him. They had colorful patterns paw-painted on them by the local artists from his mother's country. When the soup was ready, he ladled several portions out onto two bowls. He then took the warmed bread slices from the oven and placed them in a woven breadbasket that he covered with a cloth napkin. He took the softened butter and using a melon baller, scooped out several balls into a small ceramic bowl.

He then took the tray with all the food on it and carried it into the guest bedroom. He slowly opened the bedroom door and saw that Judy was still asleep. He carefully walked in so as not to wake her and placed the tray of food onto a nearby dresser. He stepped out of the bedroom to fetch a small folding table, the bottle of wine and two burgundy wine glasses. He setup the folding table near the bed and placed the tray on it. He then fetched a small stool so that he was level with the bed and sat down next to Judy.

She had turned in her sleep so that she was facing him. He smiled as he watched her sleep. He hungrily studied her visage. How he had missed her. Then, his brow knitted as he noticed the fur on her right cheek. He put a paw on it and slowly stroked his thumb over the small scars that were faintly visible underneath the fur. The memory of that night came rushing back and tears threatened to fall causing him to hitch his breath. The sound awoke Judy. She opened her eyes to see a teary-eyed Nick staring at her while she felt his paw slowly stroking her cheek. She held his paw and slowly nuzzled it.

"It was an accident, Nick. I know you didn't mean to hurt me." Judy softly said as she stared into his emerald eyes.

"Judy, can you ever forgive me?" whispered Nick. "You should never have gotten hurt. I wasn't myself. When you ran away from me, I didn't know what to do. I thought you were scared of me. I'm glad that you came looking for me. But I can't move on without your forgiveness."

Judy sat up in the bed. "Nick! If anyone should be asking for forgiveness, it should be me! I was blind to your love and kindness. If it wasn't for me, Robby wouldn't have hurt you." Judy pulled his face closer to hers so that their foreheads were touching. She gently ran her paw over the scars on his muzzle. "And, I wasn't running away from you! I had to run to the clinic to get the first aid kit for your wounds. Your muzzle was covered in blood! But when I came back, you had already gone. I was going to look for you but I had to take care of Robby's injuries so he wouldn't go into shock. I ended calling 911 for help and by the time they got there, so did the police and they detained me for questioning. My father arrived, took one look at my face and flew into a murderous rage. He wouldn't let me explain that it was all an accident. He dragged me home and grounded me for over a month. I was then constantly chaperoned by him or one of my elder brothers for over a year. By the time I could look for you, you had left Zootopia," she began to sob. "I'm so sorry Nick! I shouldn't have run away from you! I've missed you so much!" Judy bawled.

Nick took her in his arms and sat her in his lap so that he could stroke her head and ears to comfort her while her arms went around his neck not wishing to let him go again. No words were necessary. They held each other, aware of the pain that each one had carried the last ten years, and as their tears flowed freely, they knew they had each other's unspoken forgiveness. He held her until her sobbing slowed. He then turned her head so that he could lovingly kiss the tears from her face and then gently pressed his lips to hers.

Judy, though, had other things in mind. She forcefully pressed her lips onto his and placed a paw behind his neck in order to prevent him from pulling away. She hungrily sought his mouth and her tongue performed a sensual dance with his. He was astonished at her hunger for him. As they continued to lock lips, their hands roamed over each other's bodies, eliciting moans of pleasure from each other. Soon, Nick scented the faint aroma of honeysuckle and wet rain, which tickled a small memory at the back of his brain. "Why does this smell so familiar? And what is it with this scent? It's driving me crazy! If we don't stop soon…I might lose it!"

"Carrots! Judy! We…need…to stop for a moment." Nick gasped.

"What's wrong, Nick? Can't handle the bunny?" Judy sensuously smirked.

"Yes, that, too." He took a deep breath. "We need to slow this down. We need to think this through carefully."

"What do you mean, Nick? Are you saying you don't want me?" Judy looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, sweet fox Jesus, no that's not it! I do want you! In fact, I love you very much. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. But we have to consider the obvious size difference between us. I don't want us to start rutting only for me to injure you. There's also the matter of my knot to consider which could cause irreparable damage. I don't want to hurt you at all especially if I lose control while we're making love. We need to take this slowly." Nick explained.

"Gee, Nick. Buzzkill…way to ruin the mood." Judy complained.

Nick laughed. "Look, we can start off with light petting and take it slowly from there. Besides, the dinner I made for you is getting cold and I'm sure your famished."

"Well, I was kinda hungry for something else but now that you mentioned it…" Judy's tummy growled loudly. She laughed at the sound.

Nick grinned at her. He set the table between them so that she could easily reach for the food. He poured the wine into the glasses and presented her with one. They clinked their glasses and Nick proposed a toast. "To a love once lost and now is found."

"God, Nick! That's so cheesy." Judy laughed.

It was close to 7 when Nick and Judy finished their dinner. When Nick told Judy about the gathering of the rest of the pack for karaoke, she became excited. "I love karaoke. It was one of the things I got to do at home that we enjoyed as a family." She practically pulled Nick out the door. "Whoa! Slow down, Fluff. Let me get a couple of bottles of wine before we go traipsing over there. It's our entrance fee," Nick winked.

By the time Nick and Judy arrived at the central square, everyone had arrived and Nick took Judy around to introduce her to his former platoon. "So you remember Finnick from this afternoon. He's our Engineering and Demolitions Expert. He helped to create the self-supporting environment we're in right now. He's also our resident moonshine maker." chortled Nick. Finnick grunted an acknowledgement to Judy. "So Finnick," continued Nick, "where's Francesca?"

"Couldn't make it. Outa sorts today. That time of the month." Finnick sounded pissed. Judy raised a querying eyebrow at him. "I never took you for a chauvinist, Finnick."

"She works for an accounting firm and it's the end of the month so they doing overtime to close the books." Finnick elaborated.

"Oh…well, I hope you'll feel better tomorrow?" Judy deadpanned. Nick just snickered as they moved down the line. "You've also met Ben and Bonnie today. Ben's the platoon cook and chowhound. Bonnie was the team's medical nurse and battalion surgeon. She saved a lot of us out there in the field." Nick fondly recalled. Bonnie raised her drink to Nick in acknowledgement of the praise given. Judy noted the two wolves at her side with a bit of curiosity. "These two are Wolfard and Snarlov. They're part First Mammal and our best trackers and Chemical Warfare Specialists. They're the ones who helped create the bioluminescence system for the cave. They're also her mates." Judy's eyes widened at this bit of news. "Isn't polygamy illegal here in Canidae?" she asked. "It's more unofficial rather than official," Nick shrugged. "They take turns sleeping over as we only have limited space in the cave. Besides, I don't think either of them could handle Bonnie's appetite seven days straight." Nick snickered. Bonnie merely smiled and said to Nick as she sat in between her two lovers, "You know how it is Nick. They can't get enough of me. Once you go bunny, you can't go back, honey!" she chortled. Both of the wolves chuckled along. Wolfard spoke up, "Evening Captain! Miss Judy," he acknowledged. "It's a pleasure to finally meet Nick's mate."

"Uh…mate? What makes you think that?" Judy asked hesitantly.

Wolfard tapped his snout with his paw. "I can smell your mixed scents quite clearly, remember? The nose knows. Also, that's a lovely perfume your wearing tonight," he said cheekily. Bonnie slapped Wolfard behind his head. "Behave Wolfie or else your sleeping outside!" Wolfard ducked his head apologetically but Nick could still see a small smile playing across the wolf's muzzle.

Now that Wolfard had mentioned it, he again noticed the faint fragrance emanating from Judy that was starting to have a delicious dizzying effect on him. "That perfume is going to be the death of me. I can hardly keep my paws off her!" Nick thought. He noticed that Judy was blushing again furiously from the teasing she received from Wolfard so he pulled her to his side and allowed his tail to wrap around her. She immediately seized it and held onto it like a security blanket.

They sat down near the impromptu stage that Ben had setup. Judy still hung onto Nick's tail for dear life as she tried to make herself as small as possible by squeezing into his side. He put his arm around her shoulders and slowly stroked her arms in order to calm her. After a while, she seemed to relax and she slowly loosened her death grip on his tail.

Ben stepped onto the stage. "Welcome packmates!" Ben greeted the small gathering. "It's not often that we have guests even though we had to kidnap her for this occasion," Ben smirked over the laughter. "So, let's give a warm Fox Platoon welcome to Judy Hopps!" The snarls, growls, howls and paw-stomping lasted for over a minute as the mammals welcomed Judy. Judy shyly acknowledged their greeting with a smile and a wave of her paw.

"So, who's ready for some good, clean-fashioned fun?" asked Ben. "Not me!" Finnick retorted. "I'd rather be with my Frenchie cuddling up in bed." Nick frowned at Finnick's outburst and growled at him, "Hey sourpuss! Cool it will ya? You've been griping all day like a little kit without his mommy. Stop whining!"

"Oh, yeah? You gonna make me? You and what army?" yelled Finnick.

Nick stood up to confront Finnick. Judy tried to grab his arm to stop him but was too late. Nick stopped in front of the fennec and snarled, "Them's fighting words, mister."

"And whacha you gonna do about it?" Finnick shot back. As Nick and Finnick glared across the table from one another, they suddenly grinned at one another and yelled simultaneously, "Battle Karaoke!"

The rules of Battle Karaoke were simple. Each mammal performed once in front and was judged according to their delivery and how well they interacted with the audience. At the end, a consensus vote would be taken and the winner would get, aside from bragging rights, half of the wine bottles brought by each member of the pack.

Ben announced that each participant's name would be randomly chosen by drawing paper slips from a bowl. Once the small bowl was ready, Ben passed it over to Bonnie who then drew one. "Clawhauser!" she announced. Ben squealed with joy and ran up to select his music from the karaoke machine. Once he was ready, he took the microphone, started swaying his hips and as the music started, belted out in a bass-baritone:

My first, my last, my everything
And the answer to all my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are

I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
You're all I'm living for, your love
I'll keep forevermore
First, you're the last, my everything

In you I've found so many things
A love so new, only you could bring
Can't you see it's you?
You make me feel this way
You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day

I see so many ways that I can love you 'til the day I die
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, the last, my everything

I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
Girl, you're my reality, but I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, you're the last, my everything

Ben bowed to lots of applause and wolf whistles as he grinned from ear to ear. He stepped over to where the bowl containing the slips were and drew the next name. "Wolfard!" he exclaimed. As Wolfard stepped up to the microphone, he smilingly addressed the audience saying, "This song is dedicated to my mate, Bonnie!" he chuckled. "May this inspire us tonight!"

Dark in the city night is a wire
Steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on a hunt down after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd.
And I'm hungry coz I'm the wolf.
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on a hunt down after you.
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry coz I'm the wolf

Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heat I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on a hunt down after you
Scent and a sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry coz I'm the wolf.
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry coz I'm the wolf.

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt down after you
I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry coz I'm the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt down after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry coz I'm the wolf

He stepped off the dais to a din of table banging, yipping and howling. Bonnie stood up and welcomed Wolfard back with a lovingly long kiss on his muzzle. She whispered to him, "You'll definitely get more of that later, Wolfie!" she promised him with a sly grin.

Ben drew the next name. "Finnick!" The small fennec fox grinned as he stepped up on the stage. He knew what he had to do in order to win. So he selected the music and began to belt out his song choice in his deep baritone:

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body, baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'll show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss

You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama
I know how to undress me
Let me be your fantasy
And maybe, you can be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time

You don't have to be rich to be my girl
You don't have to be cool to rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss

As Finnick strutted his stuff on stage, everyone clapped along to the catchy beat. In the end, he received a standing ovation for his performance. Finnick figured he had it in the bag. Ben then called out the next performer's name. "Snarlov!"

The younger wolf quietly came up on stage and quickly chose the song that he wanted. He then turned to address the crowd, "So, like my littermate, I, too, am dedicating this song to my mate, Bonnie," he said with a grin. "I think she will appreciate it very much," as he winked at her.

She'll only come out at nights
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new
You've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sittin' with you
But her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see
What you think
You're gettin' for free
The woman is wild
A she-cat tamed
By the purr of a Jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
You ain't gonna get too far
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
She's a pred-eater

I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly, man
And she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
Ooh, the beauty is there
But a beast is in the heart
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
She's a pred-eater

The audience laughed at the inside joke and applauded his efforts. Bonnie welcomed Snarlov back with a kiss just like she had given Wolfard and said, "Oh dear. Now I can't make up my mind. I may need to take both of you home with me," she laughed.

Judy observed Bonnie's interaction with her canine partners and made a mental note to herself to inquire more from her about how they made love. She appreciated Nick wanting to be careful with her but she was not made of glass and was determined to get him to bed her as soon as possible. At this point, she was already on her third glass of wine and started to feel more relaxed around the group. She leaned into Nick's chest and inhaled his musky odour while continuing to fondle his tail. "I just can't seem to get enough of his scent or his tail," she thought wryly to herself.

Bonnie got called onto the stage next. She sashayed onto it and made her selection. "This goes out to the two most wonderful partners I have ever had the pleasure of sharing a bed with," she smirked. "Hit it, Ben!"

Baby I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals

Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals

So what you trying to do to me
It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
But we get along when you're inside of me, eh
You're like a drug that's killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when you're inside of me

Yeah you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh

So if I run it's not enough
You're still in my head forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do, eh
I love your lies I'll eat 'em up
But don't deny the animal
That comes alive when you're inside of me

Don't tell no lie, lie lie lie
You can't deny, ny ny ny
The beast inside, side side side
Yeah yeah yeah
No boy don't lie, lie lie lie
You can't deny, ny ny ny
The beast inside, side side side
Yeah yeah yeah

(Howl)

The moment Bonnie broke into a howl, both Wolfard and Snarlov did the same. "Hey, no fair Bonnie," Nick laughed, "you know they can't help themselves." Bonnie just snickered and said, "All's fair in love and howl, Nick."

Judy was enjoying the banter within the group. She was slightly buzzed from the wine and was quite happy staying beside Nick all night. She was surprised, however, when she heard Ben call her name. She blinked and started to fidget nervously as she started to feel butterflies in her belly. Nick sensed her unease, gave her a quick squeeze and whispered in her ear, "A beautiful bunny once told me back in High School that there was nothing to fear but fear itself. You can do it Judy. I believe in you."

She was surprised that Nick still remembered her pep talks to him. She smiled her thanks for the encouraging words and quickly got up to choose a song. By chance as she flipped open a page, she found what she wanted and knew it fit the moment. She put on the song, took a deep breath and began.

Where have all the good mammals gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need

Judy suddenly turned to face Nick, pointed straight at him and beckoned with her paw while continuing to sing. Nick's ears shot up in surprise.

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life!
Larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a supermammal to sweep me off my feet

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone, somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain
And the storm, and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

As she sang, she stepped off the stage and seductively glided over to Nick and grabbed him by his tie and slowly pulled him towards her. As she sang her final verse, she pushed Nick back into his seat and climbed onto his lap while looking deep into his emerald eyes as if daring him to reject her request.

Nick tried to say something but all that came out was "Eeeep." As the song ended, she immediately began to blush because of her forwardness. She held her ears over her eyes but then Nick scooped her up in his arms laughing. "Carrots, that was the best so far! I never thought you had it in you!" The others were yipping, yelping, hooting and hollering their approval of her performance. She shyly grinned at Nick and kissed him on his lips, which he gladly returned.

"O…M…Goodness!" squealed Ben. "That was so hawwt! Ok, good mammals. For our final contestant, let's get the Captain up here."

Nick smiled wickedly and said, "Looks like I'm returning the favour, Carrots" as he picked her up and carried her over to the stage with him. He pulled up a chair and made her sit down in it. Judy was curious and feeling a little anxious at being the centre of attention but she trusted Nick wouldn't do anything to embarrass her.

Nick went over to the song selection and looked for the one song he knew he had to sing to her. It was a song that his mother had often sung to him as a child and he wanted to dedicate it to Judy. He found what he was looking for, and turned to face Judy. "This is a song that I've never sung to anyone else but is dear to me because the one who used to sing it to me loved me unconditionally. I'd like to then dedicate this to the one mammal to whom I now offer my own unconditional love."

Como una promesa, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una mañana de verano.
Como una sonrisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Toda mi esperanza, eres tú, eres tú.
Como lluvia fresca en mis manos
Como fuerte brisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.

Como mi poema, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una guitarra en la noche,
Todo mi horizonte eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.

Eres tú...

As he sang, Nick approached Judy and sat down on the raised stage so that he was eye-level with her. He caressed her cheek with the back of his paw as he sang to her. He then slowly ran his paw over one of her ears, slowly trailing a claw lightly on the inside. He saw her shiver and the scent of lilacs blossomed tenfold and almost overpowered his senses. "Oh, sweet Fox Jesus! That sweet smell again! Where is she keeping that perfume bottle? If I'm not careful, I'll be literally eating her out on stage!" He continued with his caresses and lovingly looked into her beautiful amethyst orbs while singing the second part of the song.

I woke up this morning and my mind fell away
And looking back sadly from tomorrow
As I heard an echo from the past softly say
Come back, come back, won't you stay?

I wanted to reach you, let you know I still care
And lost in the silence of my sorrow
I put a promise in the wind, on the air, to fly away to you there

Touch the wind.
Catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I'll be close to you

I'll be easy to find
On the winds of the morning, I'll come sailing
I'll be easy to find
And, baby, I'll be close to you

And only forever can I say I love you
And only forever have I lost you
But only a dreamer could wake up as I do
And hope it's still yesterday

Touch the wind.
Catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind
And I'll be close to you

I'll be easy to find
On the winds of the morning, I'll come sailing
I'll be easy to find
And, baby, I'll be close to you

Touch the wind...

Judy was overcome with emotion. Nick's serenading her with a haunting love song touched a chord deep within her. She had never been courted in this manner. He seemed to pour out his heart to her with that beautiful melody. Then, as he caressed her ears, she felt the tip of his claw lightly brush the inner part of her ear, which sent shivers down her spine. She didn't know why a predator's claw would make her feel that way but she was sure only Nick could do that to her. She knew Nick would never hurt her and she felt safe with him. However, as he continued touching her ear, she felt a massive wave of desire suddenly wash over her. She didn't understand why but she suddenly had an urgent burning desire to rip Nick's clothes off and take him in front of everyone but she couldn't bring herself to do that without embarrassing herself in front of everyone. The conflicting signals caused her ears to jump out of Nick's paws and begin to vibrate horizontally.

Bonnie saw her ears go sideways and she became alarmed. "Nick!" Bonnie yelled, "Stop her. Shake her out of it!" Nick did the only thing he could think of. He kissed Judy. That was when she fainted.
