Hey everyone. This is the third chapter to my story, so thank you to everyone who has read the previous two. Soon enough I will let Nick meet Judy's family, but not in the way other people write. Anyways, thanks once again to everyone who writes reviews and the other fanfiction writers like Pokémon Ranger Trainer, Who actually inspired me to write this story. Anyway, Ive been dragging it along, long enough. Here it is.
Chapter 3: On The Case.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Nick opened his eyes to find not only an empty bed, But the smell of fresh food cooking on the stove.
Judy skipped over to the tired fox and started nudging him to wake him up.
Nick groaned as he gathered enough energy to lift himself out of the rabbit's bed and plonk his hand on the snooze button of the alarm clock. "What time is it". He asked Judy.
"Late enough". She replied. "Come on, I've made some breakfast especially for you, ya' sly fox".
"Thanks Carrots, that's so nice of you, especially for a dumb bunny".
Judy giggled a little, before Nick leant down to Judy's eye level and met her gaze, eventually going in for the kiss, but Judy was way ahead of him. Nick was shocked at the sudden change of emotion in her heart, that he himself could not resist engaging in it. Eventually they broke away from each others snouts and with the smirks on their faces, you could tell they both enjoyed that moment. All eight seconds of it.
The fox yawned as he dragged himself over to the table and sat down.
Judy had a slight skip in her step, as she served the two plates two herself and Nick. "How much sleep did you get?". Judy questioned the fox.
"around four, maybe five hours". Nick replied, starting to eat his honey glazed pancakes that Judy made for him.
"Wow, you must be tired". The rabbit commended.
"I know right". Nick followed up. "Judy?".
"Yeah". She responded in a worried tone of voice.
"Are you still okay with me calling you Carrots,". He asked.
Judy giggled at the question, as she replied. "I much prefer Carrots now. Plus, we've been going with it so long, it would seem rude to go back now".
"Thanks, Carrots". Nick said.
"No problem, Nick". Judy placed her paw on the fox, as their snouts met once again.
Nick noticed the time and broke away from Judy's mouth, but still had his paw on her neck and said. "We better hurry up or we're gonna be late".
Judy looked at the clock and jolted over to her uniform, before saying. "I'll get changed in the kitchen, you get changed in the bathroom".
"Aww really, why?". The sly fox replied.
Judy looked surprised at the response that Nick gave her, however, she let it slide.
Nick gulped, as he thought he had gone too far with the request. He carried on walking to the bathroom, with his uniform in hand.
Judy knew trust meant a lot to him, so she interrupted the fox at the door and finally said. "I'm fine with it".
"What really? Because I can still change in the bathroom if you want me to".
"I know how much trust means to you Nick".
"Thanks, Carrots". Nick smiled at the kindness of her partner and walked back into the kitchen. "we're looking away right?". Nick cautiously asked.
"If you want, ya' sly fox". Judy responded.
"Thank you, Judy".
They both turned away from each other and started to change into their uniforms.
As soon as they both had changed, Judy said. "C'mon, we're gonna be late, hurry up". She took Nick's paw and ran out of her apartment, Nick trailing behind her. She let go of his hand and ran downstairs.
"Carrots wait up!". Nick shouted, as he got his grip and followed her into the lobby.
"Tuckered out already". Judy giggled, as she ran off once again.
"Aww, you gotta be kidding me". Heavily panting, he trailed after the quick rabbit. Soon enough, he spotted those amethyst eyes of hers. He caught up and said exaustingly. "I'm actually going to die if I run any further".
"Well you made it pretty far, look where we are".
Nick finally got a chance to look around and noticed he was at the ZPD. "Oh, right, huh". The fox questioned himself.
They both smiled at each other, as they opened the door, paw in paw.
Judy heard a familiar voice coming from clawhauser's desk, as she skipped over to investigate, she was interrupted by. "Hopps! Wilde!". Chief Bogo approached them, looking concerned.
"Chief, what's wrong". Judy asked with caution.
"This case has gone on for far too long, we need someone to find this missing hyena NOW!". Bogo passed and Nick the case file. Nick accepted the suprisingly light case file, while Bogo said. "You found 15 missing mammals and stopped a criminal mastermind from destroying the city. You can find this hyna, I do not belive in impossible.
"Thank you chief". Judy replied. She then ran over to Clawhauser's desk and excitingly said. "Clawhauser! I got a case".
"Nice, a case of what?". The cheetah replied.
"No, a case, case".
"Oh, he he, good for you".
Judy beckoned Nick to follow her to Clawhauser's desk.
Nick followed the rabbit up to the desk, as Judy clambered onto the top of it. "Ughhh.. really". Nick sighed in frustration, as he struggled to climb up on Clawhauser's workspace.
Judy waited until the fox was with her, before opening the file, only to find one page... again.
"Wow". Clawhauser said. His jaw dropping, "Judy you must have the worst luck I've ever seen".
"Thanks for that". The rabbit replied. "Okay, let's see. Leads... None, witnesses... None, Okay I've seen worse. Evidence... None? Great, fantastic.
Nick observed at the last known sighting, to find the hyena and Finnick's van in the same picture. "Carrots look". Nick tapped his claw on the portrait of the van.
"Good spotting there partner". Judy said. "I guess we better pay Finnick a visit then".
"Yeah, I guess we have". Nick smirked at Judy once again, the rabbit returning the smirk to the fox. They both were entranced immediately, by each others eyes.
What broke the trance, was when Clawhauser said. "Aww, you guys are so cute together, you should be a couple".
"Way ahead of ya' there". Nick slyly said.
Judy replied with. "Yeah, i guess we've been dating for around a week without us even knowing it".
"Carrots, we better hurry up if we want to find that hyena".
"yeah, let's go. Oh er' Clawhauser?".
"Yeah?"
"Do you still have our keys, by any chance".
"Uh huh". The cheetah replied, as he tossed the keys over to Judy.
"Thanks buddy". The fox said, as Judy and himself walked out of the building paw in paw, one more time.
