Sorry for the kinda late update. As I said before, college and my part time job are eating away my soul, so I hope you can bear with me.
September 6, Wednesday, 9:44 AM
"Okay Nick, talk, what in cabbages name just happened?"
Nick looked at Judy with the most awkward smile unconsciously whilst scratching the back of his head. "Would you believe me if I said it was all a prank?"
"I would have 15 minutes ago before all the predictions you did." Judy scooted closer to the fox, close enough to make him feel uncomfortable. "There's no way you could've predicted all that with that kind of precision, what are you hiding Mister Wilde?"
Nick tried to avert his gaze by suddenly taking Interest in their car floor, with ears drooped down "Look, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you."
"Try me."
Nick sighed, realizing he has no way of getting out of this. He really didn't want to explain how he knew everything because he is unsure of it himself, but suddenly a plan cooked up in his mind.
"Okay look, before I explain everything to you, let me confirm it first."
"What do you mean, confirm?"
"Want me to make another prediction?"
Judy moved back to her seat and tried to position herself properly before releasing her own sigh. The last prediction Nick made was so spot on that in sent shivers down her spine whenever she tried to think about it, so it's understandable why she is kind of persistent in answering.
"Well, it wouldn't hurt I guess, so what's your prediction this time Mr. Psychic Wilde?"
Nick was trying to remember certain situations that happened this day before all of this time shenanigans took place with by hovering both of his open paws over his head, mimicking that of an actual psychic.
Judy let out a little chuckle. "What the heck are you doing?"
"Don't interrupt Mr. Psychic Wilde, Missy."
Judy let out a laugh at the fox's antics. "Okay take your time, preferably before our lunch break ends."
While Nick was thinking, Judy started the car so that they could proceed with their assignment. As they were driving, before they could even leave the precinct, Nick already remembered something significant that if predicted perfectly again, it could really make his day….again. This brought a smile to his face.
"Allright, if memory serves me right, our day of patrol would be really, REALLY mundane, until 2:30pm that is."
Judy tried looking at the time on their dashboard with a sidelong glance without moving her head too much, and it showed 9:47am. "Why? What happens at 2:30?"
Nick let out his trademark smirk and looked at Judy, in which the rabbit can already sense even if she wasn't looking directly at the fox. "Something that would be the last thing that would happen to you in the middle of the afternoon."
"A robbery?"
"Nope"
"A traffic accident?"
"Nope, it's something you told me that it never happened to you before."
Judy`s face suddenly lit up at her final response as the idea of it actually happening made her jump internally in her mind. "Gazelle personally giving me tickets to her next concert?"
Nick swore he could feel the sudden overdrive in the happiness meter Judy usually has. "An optimistic answer, but sadly it's not what`s going to happen, not that my prediction would really happen of course."
Judy momentarily stopped the car as the traffic light was showing red at the intersection with the face of disappointment at the dismissal of her suggested situation. "You could have just said yes and watch me be a happy bunny waiting in anticipation all day till 2:30 rolls by."
"Hey, I'm evil but I'm not that evil."
The gray bunny did a quick chuckle as she remembered how "evil" the red fox can actually get, the first thing that came to mind was the "butt incident", where Nick put a paper at the back of Judy with the words "I have a CUTE BUTT" which resulted in people coming up to her and saying "yup, you do" which resulted in her being confused all day till she knew why. "Sure you aren't, that's why you're going to tell me the answer right now mister."
Judy drove the car again as the traffic light turned green again as Nick began to answer.
"Okay okay, a certain buck, probably a rich snob, judging from all the lavish clothes and jewelry that he wore, get this, tried to get your number, emphasis on 'tried'."
Judy's brows furrowed while she pulled over their car in front of a bar since they arrived at the location they were supposed to patrol just shortly after they crossed the intersection. After she parked their car, she suddenly looked at Nick, waiting for him to continue in the lines of "Huh, Gotcha!" or "Your gullible as usual", but what she got was the same expression she was showing on her face at this moment.
"You're actually serious?"
Nick was about to retort with a witty response but decided against it and just answered the gray bunny casually. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be"
"Is that really the best prediction you can come up with?"
Nick drummed his paws under his chin as he tried to think again. "Well, there's also the car chase after someone sped right by us, but I think the first prediction is actually more significant, don't you think?
Judy tried to answer, but no words came out as she realized that Nick was kind of right, someone hitting on her in plain daylight and while on duty caught her interest as to how it could actually pan out. So she instead just opened the door near her so she could get out of the car, followed by Nick soon after. "Let's just see what happens, I just want this day to be over with after you put me through this roller coaster of events."
"You're welcome; you always said that you wanted to ride in one."
"Ride in what?"
"A roller coaster"
Judy chuckled while she went besides Nick. "I prefer a roller coaster that doesn't bombard me with overwhelming situations."
Nick laughed at Judy and tried to imitate that of a ride manager. "I'll try to accommodate your request ma'am."
2:24PM That afternoon
Judy and Nick were both sitting inside there cruiser, just waiting for their shift to end after they patrolled the streets. Both were tired and their entirety of their energy spent on wandering aimlessly following leads that just points them to metaphorical and sometimes literal dead ends as someone told them where the last stolen car was found and it turns out to just be a dead end alley, both swore they heard the mammal they got the information from laughing begin their backs.
"Man, you were right, this patrol is mundane, so that's one part of the prediction of yours correct."
Nick then did an imaginary check with his fingers in the air and smiled as he remembered what will happen soon, but deep inside he was also worried. Will Judy still react the same way the last time the buck hit on her? What if she actually said yes to him when he asked for a date?
He was about to make more outcomes to what will happen when Judy interrupted his thoughts when she tried to open the cruiser to take a little breather, but suddenly decided against it, testing Nick sudden ability to predict what will actually happen. "You know what, I'll just stay in the cruiser. If you're really that good at predicting, then there's no problem with me staying inside, with anyone barely seeing me inside now wouldn't it?" Judy was smirking at the tod at this point. Thinking her plan to derail his predictions was actually a legitimate one. "Nick, come on just admit it, you somehow planted a broken mug at time we were at the bullpen, which doesn't really take a rocket scientist to calculate what will happen next, the chief really cares about his mugs and you know it. The sooner you admit it, the less humiliated you're gonna be. And as for the chief tripping, I can clearly remember you putting a certain adhesive to the sole on Wolford's shoe that one time that almost resulted on the same thing. "
Judy looked at Nick after explaining to him her deductions of his rather unusually complex prank, expecting the fox to just admit the prank the and there, but what she got was a very confused fox on her midst. "Really? You actually tried to investigate my "prankl"? Well looky here missy, it wasn't." Nick tried to enforce his reply by crossing his hands and pointing his muzzle high enough to try to make him look like a serious mammal for once, but only resulted in a rather ridiculous act "And FYI, you were also inside the cruiser when it happened." Nick tried to confirm it by remembering it clearly again and yup, she was in the cruiser when the incident happened.
For all Nick's rather confident statements, he actually wanted his prediction to be disproved as he remembered in his dream how their whole 2 days went. He was secretly hoping that the rather spot on predictions in the bullpen were mere coincidences.
As Nick was having his own internal affair, Judy was looking for a comeback for his humorous statement and found the perfect thing. She looked at the time on their dash board again and seeing the current time was 2:30pm, she thought this is a perfect opportunity to dispel his imaginary predictive abilities.
"Well? It's already 2:30, and no sign of-"
Judy was interrupted by a loud banging of the door of the cruiser near her, and instinctually pulled down her window down without even looking at the owner of the paw that banged the car door.
"Sir what is it? Is there something-"
There, in front of her, was a rather handsome buck, probably in his late 20's, wearing what seems to be a leather black jacket with the brand that Judy recognized to be one of the most expensive brand in all of Zootopia, and was also wearing a golden wristwatch which she swore had engravings of diamonds around the edges, and at least 4 gold rings on his left paw.
Judy was about to look at the fox besides her when the buck spoke. "I was just about to report about my missing car just now, but looking at you now, that might not be a problem anymore."
Judy was flabbergasted by his statement and was trying to piece together what the rich buck just said. "Look sir, I'm not sure what you meant by that but if you want to report for your missing car you could report it personally to the precinct if you want"
The buck was now openly laughing which resulted in Judy further fueling her confusion and Nick struggling to not let his smile falter as he also was both terrified and amused at the happening right now. Terrified as this now proves his current predicament of seemingly traveling back to the past.
"What innocence you let out miss, I was just saying that what's in front of me right now is actually more breathtaking than my now stolen furrari."
Judy slowly turned her head to the fox with her mouth slightly agape at the ridiculousness of their current situation and the fox raising his arms and shoulders to indicate that she was alone in this one.
The gray doe then turned her head slowly in return to the buck that is now openly trying to hit on her which resulted in her jumble thoughts "Holy crap someone actually hit on me, it actually feels kind of good to be appreciated once in a while, but the thing is, I wish that a certain someone would also appreciate me in some way." Judy then glanced briefly at Nick at the side mirror near her and saw him staring ahead, seemingly lost in thought is more silent than usual, also realizing that the buck still kept on talking even though Judy was obviously wasn't listening, tried to lay it all out to the buck to stop wasting his breath trying to talk her out on a date as she assured herself it wasn't possible, except for one certain fox that is.
"Look sir, I appreciate your flattery but it is truly unprofessional of me to accept your date while I'm on duty."
"Pfft, come on, no one needs to know but us."
Judy was face palming at the ridiculousness of the bucks statement as he stated the obvious. "Sir, you do know that my partner is with me, right?"
The buck then proceeded to look further inside the cruiser, and once he located Judy's partner, the buck let out a face of disgust. "You mean that fox? Come one who believes a fox nowadays eyy? " the buck pushed his elbows to Judy's own, expecting her to agree to him, but what he got was the direct opposite. Judy grabbed his hands before he could retreat them back to his sides and pulled him close to hear face till they were inches apart from each other and let out her withheld anger. "If you don't want me to arrest you right here, right now for discrimination, I suggest you scram from whatever whole you came from."
The doe would expect the normal mammal to comply, but she forgot this one wasn't. "Ohh, a feisty one too, I could get used to that."
Deciding that this isn't going anywhere, the gray rabbit proceeded to use force by glaring at the assailant while holding a Taser on her left paw and a tranquilizer on her right.
This seem to work as the buck now slowly backed away from the cruiser until walking briskly to where Judy last saw him coming from while hearing a last minute rumble from him "That's maybe too much feisty for my tastes."
Judy exhaled loudly in relief that the crazy event was over. She started to relax till she realized that her partners haven't said a word throughout the whole ordeal which was totally out of character of him.
"Nick, are you okay?"
Nick shook his head to free himself from the trance he himself put into. Nick was trying to piece everything single thing that tried to make sense to him and so far, there's too little of it.
Judy tried to console Nick till some random thought ran through her mind, "Wait a minute, what's there to say that you didn't just tried to contact the buck and act all that just happened?" Judy was about to form a smirk before Nick answered here with more force than necessary.
"You still think this a prank?"
The doe was startled by his sudden shift in seriousness, resulting in her backing away just a little from the red fox.
Nick took note of this and immediately regretted his actions. "Judy, I'm sorry about that it's just that…" Nick put both his paws to his face and slouched in his seat seemingly in a stressed manner.
"You do realize what this means right? The moment that buck strutted here? "
Judy was looking for answers till she stumbled on the most obvious one, "It means that you can actually predict the future?"
"Bingo"
"How is that even possible?"
Nick was just about to answer her before a car sped by them just above the speed limit on the road there in. "Wait, we need to catch the-"
The tod held her paw before she could even grip the steering wheel with her right paw. "It was just flash, someone else can be his problem, for now, I really need to explain something to you because if this really is what I think it is, then things aren't gonna get pretty."
"What? Why?"
Nick let go of her paw and answered in his most serious tone he could muster, "Because I know exactly what will happen tomorrow."
