Nick and the other members of the Tragic Pack sat in the court room waiting for the verdict to be read off to them. The evidence that had been presented was staggering in its volume and the list of crimes had taken at least five minutes to read off. Nick had timed how long it had taken the jury to reach their verdict.

"Ten minutes. Wow, that was fast!" They then read off the verdict that Nick had been fully expecting.

"We find all members of the Tragic Pack guilty on all charges."

The judge closed the court proceedings and Nick and the other members began to walk out of the court in their orange jumpsuits. Stepping out of the courthouse they found themselves greeted by a crowd that filled the street, and Mayor Lionheart standing at a podium before them with Judy on his right. Lionheart motioned them to stand next to him as the crowd cheered their entrance.

"Citizens of Zootopia! I present to you the members of The Tragic Pack! Of course, they have been found guilty on all charges. However, in the face of overwhelming public support, and in light of the deep corruption that they exposed, I would like to take this moment to officially pardon these citizens." The crowd cheered in unison at his words. Judy stepped over to Nick and gave him a hug. "Furthermore, I would like to announce a new program to revitalize the school programs and other educational institutions in the poorest areas of Zootopia. This program will be headed by none other than Dr. Miguel Sanchez, who helped to raise the money to cover the costs of the Tragic Packs actions." Mayor Lionheart went and shook each one of their paws, pausing by Nick to give him a little word of advice. "Don't you ever think of doing something like this again or I will have you in jail faster than you can blink." The smile that had been on Nick's face was replaced by fear.

Nick and Judy waded through the crowd and reporters to reach Judy's parents who had been watching their kits. As they drove back towards the apartment in their minivan, Nick handed Judy the notepad that he had tallied all of the times he had lied to her on.

"What's this?"

"It's the number of times I've lied to you in all of this."

"What am I supposed to do with it?"

"Well, I figure that for each time I lied to you, you could ask me to do something special." Judy's eyes lit up.

"Hmm… What if I wanted to use them up all at once on one big favor?"

"Uh, I guess you could do that." Judy had a mischievous smile on her face now.

"Great!" She turned around to face the back of the van, "Marcus, how would you feel about a little brother?" The other kits sounded off their approval.

"Awesome!" Nick turned a slightly paler shade of scarlet. Judy looked back at Nick who gave her a halfhearted smile.

"Really?"

"Really!"

Mathew was the newest addition to their family. A small white arctic fox, he would fit right in.
