"It has been one of the best weeks I have ever had. Besides selling pawpsicles, this was amazing. I got to spend the whole week with my favorite person in the entire world. Judy took care of me for the entire week and she helped me get back on my feet after the shooting. There is still that one question that is still racing through my mind. Should I propose to Judy?"

It has been a week since Nick got out of the hospital. Judy has been by his side the entire time. They had a great time over the week that Judy took off to be with him. Now it was time for them to come back to work. Nick was fully healed and ready to go back to work. Judy hasn't been in her apartment for quite a while now. She likes staying over at Nick's because his place is big and he doesn't have crappy and annoying neighbors. It was early morning, and Nick was still thinking about that one thing.

"Think of all of the amazing things that we could do together. We could raise a family. We would be together forever. I love her and I want her to be with me. I am going to do it, but I need her to get away for a while. Today, I will talk to Chief Bogo about my plan. Hopefully, he will accept it. I need to get Judy alone for a while because I need to get everything ready. Wait…we never actually had a real date yet. Should I do that first? I got it! I will plan the same thing I did for the first date. I will get some more blueberries and find that spot at the park. Instead, I will hide the case holding the ring inside the blueberries. Then I will ask her. First, I need to get approval from her parents."

Nick woke and got up quickly. He saw that Judy was already up and in the living room.

"Good morning Carrots," Nick said cheerfully.

"Well, look at you. You seem happy today. What's with you?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just happy to be fully healed and back working again…with my favorite partner."

"Ready to go," Judy asked.

"Let's do this."

Both of them walked over to the car. Nick was the one that would drive them to work today. He was so happy that he turned on some music on their way to work.

"Wow Nick. I never knew you were such a music person."

"I just feel like listening to music today."

Judy was happy that he was happy, but she was also a little bit worried. He is acting different than he usually is. Is there something wrong with him? Judy didn't want to ask that because she knew what he would say. When they arrived, Nick ran in and gave Clawhauser a big hug.

"Hey buddy, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing fine Nick. You seem happy today."

"I am very happy today."

Nick looked over at Judy, "Carrots, you go on ahead, I'll be right there."

"Okay."

Once Judy was out of sight, Nick turned his attention back at Clawhauser.

"Nick what's going on?"

"Whatever happens, never tell Judy this."

"I won't. What is it?"

"I want to propose to Judy."

"O…..M…Goodness! I'm so happy for you!"

"Shhhhh…..it's not ready yet. I have a plan. I already have the ring. I bought it after we confessed our love for each other. I have kept that ever since because I knew that she would be the one for me. I still need permission from her parents."

"How are you planning to propose?"

"I'm going to replay our first date, the place where I was shot at. I'll get the same food and I'll even get a bucket of blueberries. I will put the case holding the ring deep inside the blueberries and we will both eat the blueberries. When she reaches down to grab another one, there is the case, and I would propose."

Clawhauser was trying to hold back tears as he gave Nick a big hug this time. "That's soooooo sweet. You two are perfect for each other."

"Do not tell her anything. I still need to tell the chief about my plan. I am going to see if I can take the day off without Judy knowing and go get everything I need. I will say that I have an assignment that Bogo wants me to do alone."

"That's perfect."

"Remember…..whatever she says about me…..don't tell her."

"Gotcha, I won't tell her anything about that."

"You're the best Clawhauser. For your reward….," Nick then pulled out a box, "here are some doughnuts."

Clawhauser took the doughnuts happily. Nick then walked over to Judy's office.

"Hey Carrots, I need to go talk to the chief for a while."

"Okay Nick."

On his way, he was talking to some of the other officers because they were glad that he was back. He knocked on Chief Bogo's door to his office."

"Enter," a deep voice from inside said.

Nick walked in the office closing the door behind him. He began to whisper because he didn't know if Judy would be listening from the outside.

"Well, well, well, look whose back. Good to have you back Mr. Wilde."

"Good to see you too. I want to talk to you about something."

"What is it Wilde?"

Nick then came close to chief and began to whisper, "I'm whispering because I think Judy's listening from the outside."

"Okay, go on."

"If you didn't know, Judy and I are in a serious relationship."

"Yea, I kind of figured that out on my own."

"Anyways, I want to propose to her."

"What," Bogo yelled using a whispering voice.

"Yes, and I would like the day off."

"You just had a week off Wilde!"

"I know, I know, but this is special, and I need your help."

"Fine, what do you need?"

"Since I'm taking the day off, I need you to tell Judy that I am on an assignment that you said I should do alone. Otherwise, she will come after me and find out what I am doing. I need to head out of town and get everything ready. Please chief?"

"Fine, I will do it, but keep her away from you for the entire shift right?"

"Correct, thanks chief."

"I expect over 100% work effort once this is over to make up the time."

"I will."

Nick made his way out of Bogo's office and back to the front desk without running into Judy. He heard Bogo call Judy into his office. The plan was working out perfectly. Nick went over to talk to Clawhauser again.

"Clawhauser, Bogo has agreed with my plan."

"Excellent, good luck Nick."

Nick then raced out of the station taking his car. He realized that Judy's friends might be curious about how I am acting. He knows who Judy's best friend is, Fru Fru. He immediately headed over to Tundra Town to find Mr. Big. He was greeted by a couple of the polar bear guards. They took him inside to where Mr. Big and Fru Fru were at.

"Hello Mr. Big."

"Hello Nick, What brings you here?"

"I need to talk to you as well as Fru Fru."

Mr. Big called Fru Fru over next to him.

"Hi Nick!"

"Hi Fru Fru."

"What do you need?"

"I need you to keep a secret away from Judy."

"What is it?"

"I am going to propose to her."

"Wow Nick, that's amazing!"

"Thanks, I already took the day off. She thinks that I am on an assignment alone. Anyways, I just want to let you know so if Judy gets curious, you know what not to tell her."

"I'll keep it from her. How are you going to propose?"

"I'll go to parents' house to get the same food I got for our first date. It is the place in the park where I was shot."

"That's right, I heard about that. I'm sorry about that. I also heard you almost died in another one not too long ago."

"I actually did die, but the heavens weren't ready for me yet."

"That's good."

"I will get the same food including a bucket of blueberries. I will put the case deep down inside the blueberries. We will eat then she will eventually grab it. I will then propose to her."

"That is amazing. Well I won't say a word to her about it."

"Great, thank you very much."

"Good luck Nick."

Mr. Big cut in, "If you need anything, just talk to us."

"I will thank you."

Nick then walked out the door and headed over to the train station. Everything was working out great. There is only one thing that he is worried about. He has to get permission from Judy's parents.
