Ok guys, since so many of you asked me to write another chapter, I´m giving it a go. As I said before, this has nothing to do with the upcoming movie, I just like the characters and the potential passion between them. I´d love to hear some opinions. Also you can tell me your wishes, how the story should continue.
Anyways, have fun reading.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters (Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps), Disney does.
I had survived another really boring day at work, and I was on my way home, as my cellphone started ringing.
„Nick, are you there?", the wonderful voice of a well know female bunny greeted me.
„Um yeah, I am, this is my telephone…"
"I need you! I´m in pursuit of a criminal, and I may, or may not, need your night vision to find him…"
"…but I´m not a cop…"
"I know, but that doesn´t matter, I´d take any help I get. You know, I´m new to this city and I don't have any connections. You do…"
I took a look on my watch and thought about it for a moment. Originally, my plan for this evening was to just relax or watch a movie, because I was out in the nightlife the two days before as well, but I decided to help her. I said yes, just because I liked her very much, and it was fun hanging out with her, even when she was at work.
„I´m not far, I´ll come around."
"Great, see you soon."
I actually had to walk only five minutes to the police office, where I was imprisoned for some hours, in the last week.
I searched myself a place in the Shadow and waited for her to come out of the police department.
I had taken her out for dinner, two nights ago, which has been great fun for both of us. We have been drinking some cocktails in the bar afterwards, and all in all it was a really lovely evening.
She told me, that she moved here just two weeks ago, and she enjoyed getting familiar with the people here very much. I guessed that she liked me as well, although I pranked her all the time. But she knew how to take revenge, and that made it even more interesting. It felt like decades, since I was in love with someone the last time, and I used every chance to spend time with her.
Then I saw her walking out of the building, agile and motivated as the last I saw her, and decided to sneak up behind her as she walked right by me, net even recognizing my little waving.
"Hello miss Hopps, nice to see you!", I said calmly, as she noticed my steps behind her.
"Nicholas!", she yelled in surprise, before turning around.
„Hi! …Nick is fine, thank you. How are you?"
„I´m fine…I guess", she answered, puzzled at the first moment. "I´m in a bit of a hurry, I´ve got to check a number plate, and I figured you maybe know where to get that most rapidly."
For a second, I had no control over my face, trying to hide a grin, failing miserably. But I was pretty sure, she hadn´t recognized it.
"Actually…I do know where to get that. Follow me, it´s not far away."
I went ahead and followed the main road about half a mile, turned left and stopped right in front of the advisory center.
"Flash is the fastest guy in there.", I explained, while were crossing the parking lot. "He can run the plate light fast…", I continued, as we entered the Building.
As she recognized, that I was joking about the speed, she dropped her ears in disbelieve and watched the sloths in the office, moving like in slow motion while doing random, normal office stuff.
"They´re all Sloths?!"
…
"…well I was hoping you could run a plate for us..." she tried asking the sloth after the second attempt, but she still didn´t managed to finish her sentence.
I watched her patiently, while she tried to speed up the conversation with the sloth. I loved how she kept her friendly voice, even if Flash was interrupting her all the time, because she started talking before he could finish his sentences.
Finally she got him to ask for the number, she would like to check.
"29THD30"
"2…9…T...", Flash repeated, unbearably slow of course, while typing it into his tablet.
"…HD03!", she finished for him.
I loved the impatience, she struggled to hide with, as well and I decided to enjoy this situation a little longer, by telling a joke to Flash, before he could finish with typing in the number plate.
"Oh come on, is this really necessary?" She asked me, quite annoyed, while Flash was telling that stupid joke to his female college.
"This could take forever!", she snouted angrily, before resting her head on the desk in front of us.
…
As we finally had the information she needed, the sky outside was dark, and the warm summer night wind crossed out fur, as we stepped out of the Building.
"It is night!?", she asked, not sure if she was dreaming.
"This is the only office for this in the whole city, and as I said, Flash is the fastest of them…"
Judy sighed and took a look at her smartphone. "Well, I think I should continue my pursuit tomorrow, I´m tired and I´m hungry.", she stated.
"Should I bring you home?", I asked, trying to sound politely.
She thought about it for a moment.
"How far is your place?", she asked, surprising me a little.
"About a quarter mile. Not far from here. Why are you asking?"
"Because I live on the goddamn other side of the police department. And if you think, you´re in position to tell stupid jokes to an unbearably slow animal, I think I´m in position to ask for a stay at your place tonight. At least a couch or something…"
I had a really big smile on my face after she told me that, and she couldn´t hide a grin as well.
"I guess you´re right, you are in some position to make that call. Follow me, the dinner is included!"
Yeah, I know, this is sort of a short chapter, more like a tease. Don´t worry, more stuff is already written, just not translated and corrected jet. Please tell me how I did, this would really motivate me. Excuse my bad English, I´m working on it ;) See you!
