Chapter 17 – Part 3*

A/N- The final part of this chapter! Well, this was possibly the hardest chapter to write so far out of all of them! Me and my friend have put most of our free time into this specific part to make sure that this is just right by my standard! In this nail biting final part, Nick and Judy will let out their true-true feelings! Hope you like it!

The movie made everyone's claws sink into the arms of the chairs in anticipation and excitement. They sliced through like butter that they could come from the bottom. Nick and Judy shared their thoughts quietly between themselves. They glanced at the screen that shown a figure creep through the door of a dim foundry lit up by glowing pails of hot melted metal. He held a .42 caliber pistol against his scarred, fuzzy face. Judy squeezed her grip on her partner's paw. "What do you think will happen?" she whispered, her lavender eyes still fixed onto the screen. Nick carefully gave his thought to the curious bunny. "Oh, I dunno. Maybe a cliché bad guy will pop up from the pallets of steel and start shooting, followed by a swarm of them starting to shoot at him." As soon as the cunning fox gave Judy his own opinion, a Arctic wolf peeked his head from a pile of steel and aimed his firearm towards the scarred animal. He took a shot and all of a sudden, the foundry seemed to explode around them.

Nick slyly nudged Judy. "Told you, carrots. I watch too many crime films to know this." Judy huffed annoyingly. Nick thought he said too much. "Now you ruined the surprise, you dumb fox." she said jokingly. Smiling, she elbowed his firm chest. "Remind me not to take you out to the theatre anymore!" "Oh, ha ha, whiskers!" Judy smiled strongly, quirking an eye. "Oh, come on Nicky. I was just joking!" she quietly said to the fox. He returned the smile, as strong as the bunny's and tightly grabbed their paws as the room filled with ear-piercing bangs and bright flashes.

After the movie had finished, everyone walked out of the screen room discussing how they thought the movie was. The first people out of the room were the fox and the bunny, still holding their paws. Judy thought it was a great experience for both of them. "Whew!" she sighed with excitement. "That was awesome, Nick! You have a good taste in film!" Nick felt like a different animal when he was told when he was great at things without knowing himself. He loved that feeling. "Ah, well it was a good movie. I would give it a five out of ten!" he smiled, slyly looking towards the bunny. Judy uttered that beautiful giggle that made Nick feel more happier by the second. "Ah, bite me." Judy blurted out, eyes widening seconds after she said that.

"Umm, not literally, y'know." Nick scoffed, knowing that she was playing jokes with him. "Duh, I know what you are talking about, whiskers. I'm a predator and everything, blah, blah, blah. Thinking that I would take it serious. Come one!" he chuckled as he gave the bunny a soft noogie on the cranium. Judy giggled and got closer to the fox. Nick sighed and looked at his phone to check the time. It read 21:41. His eyes widened and quickly stuffed his phone into his shirt pocket. "Well, I've had fun here. How about a walk up the hill near the river? Judy thought that was a great idea. She felt a nice relaxing walk in the fresh, cold nippy air after sitting motionless in a gum encrusted seat in the screen room was something that she would love. "That sounds like a great idea, Nick! I love walks in the light of the city." Nick started to sweat and look worried that Judy took notice of when she looked upon his muzzle. "Nick? What's up? You don't look so good." Nick snapped back to his senses and looked towards the concerned looking bunny. "Oh, it's nothing. Let's go shall we?" Nick tightened his grip on Judy's small, delicate paw. "Okay, slow coach let's go!" chipped Judy as she started to walk nice and slowly out of the theatre with Nick just trailing behind, still holding her paw.

They exited out of the building going towards the huge grassy hill in front of them. The cheetah that served them when they got to the theatre spotted them strut out. His brown eyes caught a sight that he haven't seen from them, holding paws. The cheetah felt love and concern. Love conquered his body seeing two animals have feelings for each other and loving each other was just a sight. Concern lurked in the corner of his mind. The fact that a bunny and a fox were in love, a predator and a prey. "Ah, love! What a sight!" sighed the cheetah, placing his paw on his chin that rested there.

The two partners shuffled through patches of flowers and tall grass. They both laid on the grass, holding paws and pointed up through the floating clouds when they saw many beautiful stars and the moonlight burn through the night sky. It was a mesmerizing sight for the both of them. They then both walked on further to the peak of the hill where Nick led Judy to a spot where no-one has ever seen before. It was a little bench, it's paint gleaming in the moonlight planted along a row of roses and daffodils. "Hey, let's sit here for a while and take in this beautiful sight." offered Nick, holding a paw towards the bench. "Oh, okay Nick. Wow. Now this is a spot!" said Judy smiling as she took a seat. Nick followed after her and took a seat next to the bunny and gazed into her gem purple eyes. "Well. What a night. Thanks for coming with me, Judes." Nick said with the half lidded look in his eyes. He took her paw and placed it on his lap. Judy looked into his emerald pools happily. "Oh, Nick. I've had so much fun today, I don't want it to end!" smiled Judy in a quiet soft voice. "I don't know if it can get much better than it is already." They both looked into the distance. Zootopia. The place where anyone can be anything proudly shimmered it's beautiful colors, diversity and emotions all in one shot. Nick couldn't keep his eyes on the city, and neither could Judy. They just wanted to look into each others eyes. Judy kicked her feet around and Nick just started to look at his nails. They simply just stared into each others eyes, smiling strongly towards one another.

Nick placed a paw on Judy's cheek. She started to blush deeply and heat radiated off of her. Shyly, she giggled and wrapped her own arm around Nick's neck as her ears drooped. Nick felt his paw creep to the back of her small head and stayed there. The fox started to sweat as he started to get nervous. 'No, Wilde. This could be it! The real deal! You have waited a long time for this, Wilde!' he told himself in his head. Nick slowly pushed Judy's small head towards his long, handsome one and closed his beautiful eyes. Judy's heart nearly jumped out her mouth when she felt the paw push on her, but something that she has been waiting for a long time was about to become a reality. She shut her eyes after Nick and then... their lips collided with each other in a passionate, loving kiss. Judy held his slim torso and Nick held her by the shoulders. The bunny felt the fox's tongue enter her mouth licked at her teeth wanting to gain access to her mouth. She welcomed it gladly and they started thrashing their tongues together, fighting for dominance. They made out for seems like an eternity, until they broke away for breath, leaving a thick bridge of saliva connecting to each other.

Nick could not believe what just happened. He did it. He just kissed the love of his life and Judy felt the same for him. Before that happened, they were just holding paws, but now they were kissing. Nick breathed in and out heavily, looking in his lover's eyes with lust. Judy felt pretty much the same as Nick, but a lot more happier than she thought she would be. They looked at each other for ten seconds until they started kissing again. Judy plunged deeper into the kiss and took it all in. This time, this kiss was more loving and intense than the last. They both rubbed their noses together as they continued to make out. They kissed for twice as long until Nick parted away looking lustful towards the bunny as she looked at him seductively. "I love you so much, carrots" said Nick softly as he held her paw tightly. Judy smiled and yanked on his tie. "I love you too, Nicky." she said seductively as she pulled his tie closer to her body, kissing him again. Nick's eyes went all crooked and finally closed. The moonlight shone on their shiny fur and a bell rang out as soon as they started to caress each other again. They were more than best friends now, they were lovers. And by golly, did they want that in the first place!

Zootopia shone in the foreground as the fox and rabbit continued to peck at each other as the night continued on. As Judy pulled away once again, she started to play with the fur on Nick's back, looking half eyed to the fox. "I always loved you." Judy whispered earnestly into his ear. Nick pressed his nose onto hers and whispered into her ear; "I have always loved you too, Judes. The first time I saw you at Jumbeaux's, I saw you as a lovable animal with so much potential. I- I have loved you for that long, it drove me crazy. My love train finally got steam and it has been rolling to your stop ever since. It was the most painful weeks of my life." Judy placed a paw on his cheek and one on his lap. She started rubbing her paw on his lap, making him sigh in love. "I felt the same way as you, Nicky. It has been hard for me too. I was just afraid to tell you that I love you too, but clearly I have thought wrong. You are the most caring, sly and handsome mammal I have ever met. Thank you for being here for me." Nick looked directly into her lavender eyes and stroked her ears gently. "Thank you, carrots. It means a lot to me." Judy smiled strongly as she stroke his long fluffy tail. "It means a lot to me too ya dumb fox." she whispered softly. They cuddled for five minutes whilst looking towards the city and then back to their faces, forever smiling. "Well" began Judy. "WE better go home. What do you say?" Nick could live with that. "Yes, I'll order a Züber." Judy suddenly place her paws on his chest and pressed her small head against him. "Just five more minutes. Please?" Judy asked with her eyes wide and loving. Nick gave her that half-lidded look that he specially gives her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Of course, sweetheart. As long as you like." Judy smiled and rested her head on his firm stomach. They both looked into the distance where they took in the beautiful, love filled atmosphere.

A/N- O-M-GOODNESS! They are truly lovers now! But the question is, where will the future head Nick and Judy now? I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I have written it!
