Judy was so embarrassed, she hadn't seen where she was going, she had stopped at the local coffee shop to pick up donuts for Clawhauser, and who did she happen to run right into? Why the one and only Nickolas Wilde.
"Judy what are you doing here?" Nick said embarrassed. "Uhh" she said as Nick looked at the box of donuts in her hand. She didn't want to lie to Nick.
"I'm surprising Clawhauser with Donuts" she exclaimed. Judy noticed Nick was alone and she saw the Coffee all over his shirt.
"Nick!" I'm so sorry, let me help you, Judy grabbed some napkins and helped wiped his shirt. She went to the register and bought him a new Coffee, it was the least she could do. She handed Nick his new Coffee. "Thanks Carrots, but you didn't have to do that" he wined.
"Oh sshhh! Yes I did, I ruined your coffee and you your shirt, I'm so sorry." Judy exclaimed.
"Its okay Carrots" he said chuckling. "Well now I've got to get going to work, you enjoy your day off Nick" she said as she went to the the exit.
"Well shoot" Nick thought, "now I need a new shirt to wear".
The problem was? This was his only clean shirt aside from his uniform. Which was at work. He looked at his watch, it was 6:45, and he was meeting his girlfriend here at 7:15. Rather than have an embarrassing conversation with Tatum, his girlfriend. He would go to the ZPD, Change Clothes and Shower, and be back by 7:15 for breakfast with his girlfriend.
Nick headed out of the coffee shop straight for the ZPD. He arrived, not seeing Clawhauser at his desk. Nick Imagined him eating the donuts that Judy had given him somewhere. Bogo had informed Clawhauser that he needed to lay off the donuts, so Clawhauser had to improvise and eat them in private, out of the eyes of the Chief.
Nick laughed at the thought of Clawhauser getting caught by Chief Bogo. Nick Dismissed the thought and headed for the Boys Locker room. He went to his locker, grabbed his spare change of clothes and headed for the shower.
Meanwhile a couple doors down, in a closet. Judy and Clawhauser sat in a closet with two chairs. "So how did he make you upset again?" Clawhauser asked while he wolfed down a sprinkled donuts.
"Well I saw him kiss a very gorgeous female fox"
"Oh Yeah, that's right." Clawhauser replied as him and Judy continued on with their conversation.
Meanwhile in the Boys Locker room
Nick emerged from his nice hot shower, he loved how much hot water the ZPD showers had. He got dressed, locked his locker and headed out. As he was walking down the hall he heard a munching sound. Nick, being the curious critter he was. Decided to investigate.
He walked down the hall and to the room where the sound was coming from, the door was cracked. He heard someone inside the room eating, very loudly. Then the figure spoke.
"Judy, I can't thank you enough for these donuts, they are so delicious". Nick realized that it was Clawhauser inside the roomobviously following his very strict no donuts diet.
"Wait, Judy was in the room with him too?."
"You welcome Clawhauser!" Nick heard Judy reply back.
Nick realized that he should probably leave them too it. He looked at his watch.
"HOLY MOLY" he thought "I'm gonna be late if I don't get going!"
He proceeded to walk away from the room, when he heard his name "Thanks for being able to talk to me about Nick" Judy said happy, a little too loud. Loud enough for Nick to stop right in his tracks. Was Judy and Clawhauser talking about him behind his back?. Nick knew he had to go, but he needed to know what was going on. "Now did he ask you why you were upset?" "Yes, yes he did." "And did you tell him?" "Sorta, I told him that I got upset about him and that fox kissing him, I just didn't tell him why I got upset."
Nick listened in, he was dying to know.
Nothing in this world or the next could have prepared Nick for what Judy was about to say.
Judy spoke in a whisper, Nick almost didn't even hear the words. "It was because i'm in love with him". Had Clawhauser not choked on his donut, Judy would have heard Nick hit the floor outside in the hall, Nick had lost all feeling in his legs. He pressed his ear as hard against the wall as he could.
"There is no way I heard that right" Nick Thought.
Once Clawhauser had finally stopped choking, "Awe Judy, you in love with Nick!? that is so CUTE!" Clawhauser exclaimed.
"Yep I heard that right" Nick thought as he gulped as he suddenly felt dizzy.
"Keep it down, I don't want …"
"No one is going to hear us Judy, its 7:35 in the morning and no one hardly ever comes down this hall, and besides its Nick's day off, we are all good" he said happily as he handed Judy a sprinkled donut.
Judy took the donut and said "Well anyway it's good that I got that off my chest. It's just that I felt really jealous when I saw him kissing that vixen. Do you think I overreacted?"
"Of course not Judy, Nick is really lucky to have a person like you. It would't be natural to see your crush make out with someone else and not be Jealous."
Judy took another bite of her donut and continued "The problem is? He doesn't even know, and he seemed very happy with the girl he was with, I don't think I stand a chance against her" Judy exclaimed sadly on the verge of tears.
"Oh Judy, why would you say such a thing?" Clawhauser said, now in a serious but comforting tone.
"Well first off, she is a fox, and I'm a bunny, I mean hundreds of years ago, foxes used to hunt rabbits, not date them. So that fox has a evolutionary advantage over me. Not only that but it would seem logical that he would like someone within his own species" Judy replied.
Clawhauser thought for a minute, thinking about how to respond, a few moments later Clawhauser came up with the perfect response. "Well I do know a inter species couple, A Fox and a Otter, they found love and they are very happy with each other. You should never give up on you and Nick, and besides, I think you and Nick would make a great couple."
"Really!?" Judy screamed, she engulfed Clawhauser in a giant hug. "Thanks for the talk Clawhauser, I really needed it! Promise this conversation stays between me and you?" "Of course Judy, this is between me and you." He said as both headed for the door, and for roll call.
Meanwhile outside in the hall
Nick was in total shock and total disbelief. He couldn't believe the conversation that he had just heard. Not only did he hear Judy confess her love for him, but now he knew the reason why she had gotten upset, Judy had been jealous.
Nick heard Judy and Clawhauser heading for the door, the same door he was right behind. Suddenly the feeling in his legs returned and Nick realized that he needed to get the heck out of there, quick. He couldn't let Judy or Clawhauser know that he was there at all. He took off running, he look back and tripped. He scowled himself and took off again, he bolted around the corner, only to miss Judy's eyes by seconds. Nick raced out of the ZPD with lightning speed into the cold, brisk morning towards his apartment.
Judy, glad to have had the talk with Clawhauser was having an actually pretty good and productive day. Nick on the other hand was not having a good day, he had to cancel last minute on his breakfast date with his current girlfriend, for obvious reasons. He was glad he had the day off, Nick needed time to think.
He had recorded the whole thing. Judy had to buy a new carrot pen because she had "lost it". Well in truth, she hadn't lost it, Nick had taken it. "It was because i'm in love with him" He heard the Carrot Playback. He was simply in awe. He pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming, He wasn't, as he felt his now hurting arm. The truth was, Nick originally actually did have a crush on Judy. But he came to conclusion that she didn't like him like that. Boy he was wrong.
So that was the reason for getting his current girlfriend. Now Nick was at a crossroads, he didn't know what exactly he should do. On one hand, the relationship between Nick and Tatum was going pretty well. On the other hand, he knew that Judy was Jealous of his girlfriend, he found it very cute that Judy liked him more than a friend, he only wished he had found out sooner.
He thought about dating Judy, wondering what it would be like. He thought of the teasing she would do. But it was the kind of teasing he liked and he teased her just as much. Him and Judy had gotten very close since they met. He knew so much about her, like her favorite food, carrots. He knew that she loved to listen to Gazelle, and he knew that her favorite color was Blue.
Did Clawhauser mean what he said when he said that "you guys would make a cute couple!"?
Nick was faced with two major problems. He did like Tatum, a gorgeous female vixen, their relationship was going pretty well. They had been out to dinner a couple of times, and the thought of making her his mate had crossed his mind. But on the other hand, he had known Judy a lot longer, he was more comfortable around her. Judy had seen him shirtless before, the vixen had not. Though it had been a legitimate and appropriate reason, he had caught her staring. Although thinking back to it, he didn't mind at all.
"UGH, this is so frustrating" he thought, this was going to be very difficult. He needed to decide, one hand he could continue this relationship with Tatum, and risk destroying Him and Judy's friendship. On the other him and Judy could date and if things didn't work out he could potentially lose her friendship as well. But he thought, "what if it did work out? Boy that would be awesome, a fox falling in love with a Rabbit" He laughed to himself in his apartment.
Nick also knew that Judy would always respect him, well mostly. This vixen felt trusting, just not as trusting as Judy. He doubted the vixen's true motives. He felt the Vixen just wanted to give him Kits, which he would be okay with. But he would also want a passionate relationship with his partner. Someone who could make him happy every day and every night ;). Nick would have never guessed that Judy loved him, let alone had gotten Jealous of the sight of him kissing someone. He found it very adorable.
"There has got to be some way to trick Judy into revealing her feelings for me." Nick thought
Nick grabbed some paper and a pen, as a plan formulated in his head.
