Who's ready for chapter 2 of Zootopia: Boundaries?

Chapter 2: First assignment

Nick, jumping a literal 10 feet into the air, looks Judy's way. She's standing there staring at Nick with those big, round amethyst eyes he's come to love.

"Nick, what did you want me to now?" Her voice filled with general concern for her friend who had still not recognized she was standing there beside him. It took Nick a minute to realize he had been talking to himself again about her.

"N-na, nothing Carrots." He replied mustering up that signature sly smile to try and get himself out of the hole he had dug. All the while, he was turning redder than a fresh picked sole apple from Judy's family farm.

"Are you sure you're alright, because I could've sworn you said-" Judy was cut off mid sentence as Nick dodged the conversation by running over to Clawhauser's desk.

"Hey there Clawhauser, how's it going?" Nick said in that sly tone he had picked up while being a conman, still a bit flushed about how Judy had somewhat heard what he had said.

Clawhauser saw Nick buckling and decided to take advantage of the moment. "Well if it isn't my favorite officer couple!" The chubby cheetah had cooed in his usual friendly tone. Nick had begun to sweat at this point.

"Ha ha. Very funny Clawhauser, nice to see you to. C'mon Nick, we're gonna be late!" Judy merely brushed off the cheetah's comment while Nick was redder than before. But, as Nick tried to tag along with her, Clawhauser had called him back over to the reception desk. He anyway knew what the cheetah was going to ask.

"Don't worry Nick, your secret is safe with me!" Clawhauser piped in a low whisper followed by a wink.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nick tried to stutter his sentence out, yet again, turning 50 different shades of red. Clawhauser, however, interrupted him with a smile.

"Run along now lovebird, don't wanna keep the chief waiting."

Nick took Clawhauser up on that offer, and scurried to the briefing room, all the while Clawhauser had whipped out his phone to check out the new Gazelle app everyone was freaking out about.

"When he reached the room full of Zootopia's finest, he quickly took his place next to Judy in the same chair since the chairs were obviously built for larger mammals.

"You were almost late!"

"Relax Carrots, I had plenty of time. The moment he had uttered those words, the chief came in through the door. Nick and Judy seemed to be the only ones who had noticed Bogo enter as all they other officers were lost in conversation about the weather, sports, and of course, Gazelle.

"Alright, alright, enough." Unfortunately for the other officers, they had still not recognized his presence.

"Shut it!" Bogo screamed at near full capacity. All the officers in the room immediately sat down and shut their snouts up. "We have some new recruits with us this morning. Including our first fox...who cares."

"Ha. You should have your own line of personal greeting cards sir."

"Shut your mouth Wilde!" Nick slowly sank into his chair even though he managed to stifle some laughs out of the senior officers.

"Assignments. Grizzoli, Fragmire, Delgato. Tundratown SWAT. Snarlof, Higgins, Wolford. Undercover. Hopps, Wilde. Parking duty."Both Judy and Nick stared at each other for a moment in unisoned confusion before looking back at the chief.

In a totally non-Bogo-like voice, he replied with a quick "Just kidding!" "We have reports of a street racer tearing up Savannah Central. Find him. Shut him down."

The bunny-fox cop duo have a quick but proud salute to their chief, and raced towards their new squad car. Nick was overjoyed to have such a big case already. But to Nick, he didn't care deep down if the had gotten parking duty. As long as he was with her, he didn't have a care in the world what they had to do, as long as he gets to spend it with her.

Thanks for reading chapter 2! As promised I added this one at night (even though it's 3 in the morning). Hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will have the ending of the movie in it and then everything from there on out will be what my interpretation is after the movie ends. The chapters will get longer, don't worry! Again, thank you for taking the time to read, Zootopia: Boundaries!
