It was late in the afternoon when Judy and Nick woke up and headed over to Big's place. A polar bear escorted them into Mr. Big's office where the shrew was waiting for them.

"How is she?" Judy asked.

"She is doing very well, I had my servants treat her as the important animal she is. Zootopia would be lost without her, bringing her here was the smartest thing to do."

"Where is she now?" Nick inquired.

"In the nursery with Fru-Fru and little Judy."

They went down the hall and saw Gazelle leaning on a table with Fru-Fru on it as there was crib holding the baby shrew.

Both of them were humming a lullaby and Judy took that as an opportunity to join them and stared happily at the shrew that was named after her.

Fru-Fru smiled up at her then made a shushing gesture as she started climbing into her paws and they moved out of the room.

They were sitting in a living room as a polar bear served them drinks.

"Gazelle and I spent the whole day playing with little Judy."

"She is just the sweetest thing. I can see why she was named after her godmother."

Fru-Fru told her rabbit best friend, "I can't wait until you become a mother, Judy."

Nick spit his drink out of shock and started coughing, "It's a bit early to discuss that, isn't it?"

"Oh! Sorry! But just the thought of it makes me happy, just think, our kids can grow up together."

"I would like nothing more." Judy smiled until it faltered, "But Nick's right, we have take it slow before we get to that."

Gazelle asked Nick, "Do you not want children?"

Nick looked down at his drink and started swirling the ice cube in it, "Wanting kids isn't the problem, getting them however…"

Judy knew she had to change the subject, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there, right now, we have a case to solve. All we have is a ring and a class photo…"

"Gazelle told me about the blackout, it's so awful that she was almost kidnapped like that."

"All I know is the room went dark and someone grabbed my arm and started taking me, I fought out of his grip and then the lights came back on and I saw my guards were knocked out and whoever tried to take me was gone…"

Fru-Fru shook her head, "When I was growing up, Daddy made sure I was protected so no one could kidnap me and use me for leverage against him."

"Is he doing the same for little Judy?" Nick asked.

"Yes."

Judy asked the singer, "Are you feeling safe here?"

"I do, and I'm surrounded by good animals caring about family, but all the same, I would like to get back to my life soon."

"You got it." Nick said.

"As long as you stay here we can go and find the culprit." she started standing up and her partner followed.

They said their goodbyes and headed out.


Nick and Judy had a list of Gazelle's past choir classmates' current addresses. Some of them lived out of Zootopia, so it seemed unlikely that they would come a long way just to drop things on Gazelle's head but Nick pointed out that they could be staying at hotels or with friends.

"We'll have to check on that." she made a note.

They stopped at an apartment complex and questioned the landlord of where Gina Grazer was at and he pointed to a nightclub down the street. They saw the nightclub had a poster and the title said, Gina, the Gazelle Impersonator.

The cops exchanged an odd look and went inside.

They looked around the area when Nick pointed out, "Hey, look whose here."

Judy turned and gapped seeing Finnick at the table.

Nick smirked, "Might as well go over and say hello."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? He could be mad at you for leaving."

"Finnick doesn't care I left. When I told him I was heading off to the academy he just gave a "meh"."

"Okay, he may not be mad at you but he could be mad at me for stealing his partner in crime."

"It's cool, Carrots, Finnick and I go way back."

She gave an unsure look.

"Come on, it'll be fine." he led her to the table as he addressed his old associate, "Hey! Finnick! Long time no see!"

The fennec fox gave an emotionless expression, "What are you two doing here? Tracking a seedy drug lord or something…?"

"Good to see you too, Finnick." the red fox stated.

Judy said, "We're on a case of figuring out who is trying to hurt Gazelle and we need to question Gina who was an old classmate of hers."

"Well, she'll be coming up soon, but you'll have wait until after her performance."

Nick questioned, "Come here often?"

"Let's just say business has been slow since you joined the hustler here."

Judy glared at her partner, saying, 'I told you so'.

"Wow, if I didn't know any better I would say you were intimated by Judy."

"Not. I don't care that you two teamed up since the Night Howlers, I'm just more upset that with you as a cop now, I have to be more careful with my business."

Nick lowered his voice, "You know… if you help us find our felon we can turn a blind eye on your… activities…"

Judy was appalled by the idea while Finnick was intrigued.

"Nick! We can't! That's-"

"Says the bunny cop that blackmailed a fox con and tried to offer a deal to a shrew crime boss."

"I- Argh! Fine!"

"About time he hustled you back…" he gave a chuckle and took a casual sip of his drink, "So, when's the wedding?"

"Uh…" they ended up saying with a blush creeping up their faces.

Fortunately, they didn't have to respond when the lights on the stage came on and a voice from behind the curtain filled the place.

Judy recognized it as one of Gazelle's songs then the gazelle showed up as the curtain lifted, and she was amazed of how Gina looked exactly like Gazelle, she was dressed like Gazelle, her hair matched Gazelle's, the only difference was the voice and dance moves. Gazelle didn't sound like that nor did she dance like that. Being the hardcore fan she was, she memorized all of Gazelle's songs and moves.

She's good… but not that good…

"Whoa…" she heard Nick say, "She really is a Gazelle impersonator."

"Not really… her voice is too low and her moves aren't as flexible… a true Gazelle fan can tell the difference, I bet you a gallon of blueberries that Clawhauser can give you a list of things wrong with this act."

"Now there's a bet I would lose." he smirked, "Would you still give me a gallon of blueberries?"

"Next time when we visit my parents."

They went back to watching the act and when Gina finished up there was applauding and cheering.

Judy signaled, "Let's go."

They headed backstage and founded Gina's dressing room.

Judy did the knocking with Gina calling out, "Yes?"

"ZPD, we need to talk to you, Ms. Grazer."

The door opened and the gazelle had a different hair color and style then the one she had before on stage.

Nick stated, "Officers Wilde and Hopps." they showed their badges, "We have a few questions to ask you regarding the "accidents" to singing sensation, Gazelle."

"Accidents? What kind-of accidents?" Gina asked with a concerned look.

Judy replied, "Things have been falling too close to Gazelle and we have reason to believe that an old classmate of hers is trying to hurt her."

Nick took out the ring, "Are you familiar with this?"

"Why… yes, that's the ring we used in choir."

"Can we see your ring?" Judy asked.

"I'm afraid I don't have it on me at the moment. Sorry."

Nick said, "That's fine, we just want to know where you were last night."

"I was here, getting ready for my show you can ask any one of the stage hands."

"We will." said Judy.

"Just out of curiosity, why pretend to be Gazelle? You obvious have your own talent of singing." pointed Nick.

"Gazelle or Giselle as that is her real name…"

"We know." said Judy.

"She was my best friend back in school, we even grew up in the same neighborhood. We did everything together, and then… when we joined the choir, Gazelle was noticed right away by the teacher of having the most beautiful voice of whole chorus, that she was given the privilege of singing solos…" she paused then kept speaking, "I was happy for her, she really was a great singer and she deserved it. As her friend, I wanted to be just like her, and so I help those who can't afford tickets to her concerts by imitating her."

"Huh." Nick touched his chin in thought, he was quite impressed by the idea. "You make a good point, my partner here is a Gazelle fan and just this week it took half of her salary to buy the concert tickets."

"It may have been costly, but it was worth it." the bunny stated.

"Is there anything else I can help you with, officers?"

Judy sighed, "No, that's all. Just make sure to stick around, in case we'll need to question you again."

"Of course."


They went out after questioning the stage hands and it seem that Gina had a solid alibi. Nick met up with Finnick and started giving him the list of Gazelle's old classmates that lived outside the city while Judy waited in their squad car.

"Look around and see if you can find them staying with family or friends. Judy and I will be checking the hotels."

"I'll do it, just remember your part of the deal."

The fox gasped dramatically, "Finnick! I'm surprised at you! We've been working together for how long and you won't trust me?"

"You're one of the fezz now, I don't trust fezz…" he glanced at Judy. "But for old time sakes… I'll take your word but you might want to keep an eye on your partner to make sure she'll keep her word and I wasn't kidding when I asked when the wedding was."

"Fin, we just started dating, we're hardly ready for marriage."

"Dating is fine, but you better not wait too long… When she came back to the city that day to find you, she was so desperate. I knew then it was more than a friendship you two gained on your little adventure."

The taller fox was surprised by this info, "I knew she was being emotional… but how desperate was she?"

"Pretty desperate. Like she was afraid she lost you forever."

Nick didn't know what to say.

Finnick merely said, "Like I said, don't wait too long, you're never going to find anyone that's going to care for you as much as her." and he went on his way.
