I apologise for the excessive swearing at the first part of the chapter but I saw it necessary and befitting the characters.


Alex's Plan

Gazelle stared at the huge door outside the Manor. She needn't bother to ring the bell, she had keys. She leisurely opened the door and walked inside to be greeted by the gloriously large living room. She had always been envious of this house. Not that she couldn't afford it, far from that. But its location as simply one of a kind. At the very suburbs of Zootopia, with a large pool and no neighbours. Fitting its owner, she thought.

She went to the one occupied bedroom which was as big as half the apartments in Zootopia on its own. On an armchair opposite of the bed was a soft red pillow. Gazelle picked it up and with secreted gentleness threw it at the sleeping Alex. "Get up, you worthless creature." She said.

Alex proceeded to remove the pillow from his face and then removed his nightmask. He sat upright and opened his eyes lazily. "Good morning to you too, Gazelle." He checked the clock next to his bed. "Past 11 AM. Looks like you'll live to see another day."

"I'm thrilled." She said monotonously.

"Well?" Alex asked.

"It went exactly as you said it would. Don't make that proud-ass face of yours. Yes, you were right, she loves him and they're probably off fucking right now."

"How sweet of you." Alex said in a still lazy voice. Gazelle kept glaring at him. Alex smirked. "I hear tea is good for the nerves."

"Fuck you, Alex. You've been in Zootopia for what – 2 weeks without letting me know? Then you call asking for favours."

"It's not like I've been partying and drinking martinis, Gazelle. I've been saving this stupid city." Alex said impatiently.

"That's hardly a reason not to let your best friend know you're in town." She crossed her arms.

"It kind of is." He said with a boyish smile that was very unlike him.

"Don't you smile at me." She kept glaring.

"Oh, just go ahead already." He said, this time hiding his smile. Gazelle sighed and walked over to Alex. Then she hugged him.

"I've missed you, you idiot. It's been over two months."

Alex sighed. "I know, I've missed you too."

She pulled back and sat on the bed. "So, fill me in."

"Oh you know, mutilated bastard tried to overthrow the whole government and become some sort of tyrant. Another week in my life."

"As long as it's taken care of." She sighed. "Are you leaving again?"

"Hmm." Alex looked around the room really quickly. "No. Not without you. I think it's time we go on a vacation."

"Really? Where?" Gazelle asked, a smile tugging her lips.

"Anywhere in the whole world. On me. Just, I'm feeling tropical right now. Somewhere with coconuts." He got out of the bed and started towards the bathroom for a shower.

"As if, you're in the mood for tropical guys." Gazelle said, smirking while Alex had his back turned on her.

"Same thing." He yelled and closed the bathroom door behind him. Gazelle chuckled.


- One Hour Earlier -


Nick woke up to the smell of coffee. Then he was nearly choked by a wave of intense happiness. He and Judy were together. Together-together. The events of the precious night melted together into a euphoric memory. He got out of the bed and noticed Judy whistling softly while making coffee.

He sneaked up behind her and put his arms around her waist, kissing her neck. "Good morning." He whispered.

Judy turned her head around slightly to kiss him. "Good morning."

"Are you making us breakfast?" He asked.

"No, I'm making myself breakfast. Make your own." She said, but Nick could hear the happiness in her own voice. All was at peace.

He chuckled and let go, sitting on a chair. "So Carrots, I've been thinking."

"That's a dangerous sign."

"Ha-ha. Seriously, listen."

Judy turned around to smile and put two plates of French toast in front of them, then returned with two cups of coffee. "I'm listening."

"How about we go on vacation?"

Judy lifted an eyebrow. "Vacation?"

"Mhm. I've got the Zooldives in mind."

"I don't know Nick. We'd have to take a break from work and everything…"

"Judy," he said, putting his paw over hers and looking into her eyes. "We saved the City. Twice. I'm pretty sure it's fine if we take a break."

"And financially, Nick, how are we to afford that kind of trip?"

"You know how Alex didn't take any credit for stopping those guys because he didn't want any Publicity and stuff?"

Judy nodded.

"Apparently, people have been dropping donations in the police stations for us."

Judy's eyes widened. "Donations? How much?"

"Right now, it's at about 13 thousand dollars."

"WHAT?" She shrieked.

Nick smiled. "So are we going?"

"Hell yes we're going! It'll be so much fun!" Said Judy running to her closet.

Nick laughed. "It will be."

"What are you still mumbling about? Get ready, we've got to go to the travel agency, Nick!"

Nick laughed. "Oh, Carrots…"

Nick and Judy were holding hands as they walked towards the Travel Agency. Suddenly, through its doors came out Alex and Gazelle. "You!" Said Judy.

Gazelle's eyebrows lifted up in surprise. Alex's as usual remained down. "Well if it isn't Zootopia's Hottest couple. Gazelle, do me a favour and go to the car." Alex held out his keys. Gazelle rolled her eyes, grabbed the keys and left, not before winking at Nick though.

"Ooh I'm going to pull her horns out." Judy muttered angrily.

Alex laughed. "Judy, Gazelle doesn't like males."

"What? That's absurd! She hit on Nick. More than hit!" Judy said angrily.

"Right. She likes males as much as I like females. You two have fun." Alex made sure to grace them with an eye-roll before leaving.

"What did he mean by that?" Judy asked.

"Oh, Alex doesn't like females."

"He doesn't? Judy asked.

"Nah." Then it dawned on Nick. "Those bastards. They had it all planned!"

"What? No they-" Then Judy's eyes widened. I'm going to kill them!" She began turning around but Nick held her hand.

"Nah, don't." Judy raised an eyebrow. "They did us a favour. Let's go on that vacation we were talking about."


=Author's Notes=

Two chapters left! They're both like epilogues although something MAJOR will happen in the upcoming one! (Who wants to try and guess what it is?) Also, in case anyone didn't get it, coincidentally Alex & Gazelle and Nick & Judy both end up in Maldives. Also, Nick and Judy "mated" last night, in case anyone didn't get that either. Hihi. As always, please make sure to leave a review as it helps me very much!
