Nick Wilde was good with his paws. When it came to hustling dim-witted animals he always come out on top and with a little extra cash in his pockets.
He shuffled the deck skillfully, making the group of rabbits in front of him eyes whirl like a washing machine.
"All right! Look for the queen! The queen is the one you need to pick! The queen is the winner!" Nick exclaimed tossing three cards face-down on the cardboard box. The dunce who was next was a middle-age bunny, with large glasses. He eyed the cards carefully, if he picks the wrong one, he loses twenty dollars. For a sly fox like Nick it does not matter what card the bunny picks because during the shuffle he took out the queen. The bunny slowly pick the one in the middle making Nick let out a sharp breath.
"Ooh! Sorry buddy-" he lifts the card revealing an ace. "You lose!"
The bunny ears dropped as he let out a frustrated groan knowing he just lost his twenty. Nick let out a snicker as he picked the cards up doing another: shuffle.
"Alright who's next?! Don't be shy, you might be a winner!"
"Nick!"
The cards suddenly flew out of his paws raining over himself he put on the most innocent smile he can mustered. With his paws behind his back he was faced with the disapproving scowl and foot tapping of a certain little police bunny.
"Hey Judy!-"
She crossed her arms,not falling for his act. "Nick! I brought you here to meet my family, not to cheat on my relatives out of a few bucks!"
She snatched the twenty out of his pocket giving it back to her poor uncle, which he and the small crowd gave him a frown as they walked away from his "game". Nick's arms dropped to his sides in disappointment.
"Aww-come on whiskers! I just wanted a little fun..." He said putting his paws in his pockets. "Your family are so naive, it's a gold mine here!"
Judy pursed her eyebrows and shook her head at his words. "Okay-I'm going to pretend that you suffered a brain injury and have no idea what you're saying..."
"Fine, alright, I won't scam your family." He admitted with an arm around her shoulder bringing her closer to him. She continued holding her scowl making him lean down putting his cheek against hers. "Let me see a smile~" he sang, rubbing against her cheek for good measure. She felt her cheeks turn warm and sighed. With a quick turn she gave him a soft nuzzle making his ears pop up.
"Promise me you be on your best behavior-" she whispered. "I really want my parents to like you...and you know how they feel about "foxes"."
"We are natural enemies-" he shrugged holding his sleeping eye gaze. Judy grabbed his paw. "Sorry...I meant "were"."
She smiled making him give her a chaste kiss on the forehead, making her blush deeply. She pulled him forward.
"Let's go meet my parents-"
"Sure, sure...maybe I can show your dad some of my tricks!"
