Record 1 - The sweet victory
Recording - Hopps 1-A
In front of the camera, appears a cute, nervous and shy bonny, trying to smile and clearing her throat.
- Hi everyone! I'm Judy Hopps and… I'm the first rabbit cop at ZPD. I'm just here… trying to start a video journal.. I don't know if someday, somebody will see this… I mean I just wait that not, because this is very… embarrassing and… oh sweet crackers with cheese… I'm not so good in front of cameras….
- And neither out of Carrots, don't be modest! - A distant voice was heard.
- That was my partner, Nick Wilde, who promised that this will be SECRET!
- Oh please, as if I would be so desperate to know about your life, when I'm the main character in it!
- Nick… if you stand around here, I promise that I will stop doing this!
- Ok, ok, gee fluff, you're so emotional!
The sound of a door closing was heard and Judy smiled, more peaceful.
- Anyways… Now I'm here in the Central Hospital of Zootopia… today was a very special day… We defeat Bellwether! Our ex-Mayor and the head of a terrible conspiracy to the predators… After 3 months aparted, Nick and I are finally friends again… it was so exciting! We made a trap for her and..boom! She sang all her plan… seconds later, all the ZPD appeared in front of us to get her arrested. She was so angry…
This morning, I was totally upset, without any hope and now… everything is different, I'm a cop again, Nick and I are friends again, the city is safe… is like the fairy tales… a happy ending.

- So… Are you ready Carrots? Did you finish your video? - Nick appeared in her door again, with his eyes closed, pretending to respect her privacy.
- Yeah dumb fox, come here, I'm finished for now… but, Will you do this too?
- Yes I swear you! - He raised his paw to remark his promise.
- For the doctors and Bogo are overreacting, it is just a little cut, I can walk for myself now.
- Oh yeah, right, cottontail, because it's totally normal to wobble when you walk.. - He sat down in the chair next to his best friend and took a magazine to read it.
- I hate Hospitals! I miss my… wait a minute…
- Now what?
- I don't have my apartment here… I finished the contract when I came back to Bunnyborrows… perfect!
- So you're now a homeless… poor Carrots… alone in the big city… Now the Hospital sounds cool, huh?
- Very funny Nick! If you and Finnick can't continue with your dad and son's hustle, you can be a comedian! a
- Oh cute bunny, that's actually a flattery for me… And what about your parents?
- They don't know anything about all this stuff, I just left the farm this morning without any explanation.
- And yes my friends, that is my pal Judy Hopps, she always does whatever she wants, consequences doesn't care!
- They knew that it was important.
- And maybe they'll discover it when they watch TV, well, just if they have one, of course.
- Hey, are you saying that my parents don't have a TV just for living on a farm?
- Oh no, I'm saying that they don't watch TV because they have around 200 little rabbits.
- Hopps, do you feel better? - The big buffalo appeared suddenly.
- Yes chief, the analgesics are doing their work. What about Bellwether and friends?
- She is now in the station, waiting for her lawyer. And don't worry, I have not started the press conference... this will be shocking for the citizens, she is the second mayor in prison in three months... I also want her statements to start the process.
- Well, at least you have all the proofs enough to at least 15 years in prison.
- Yes but you know it Hopps, I need your statements and those of the fox.
- And I know that like I'm not a cop anymore I'll have to…
- Not really Officer Hopps, you were a cop all along.
- What? - The worried friends said at the same time.
- I couldn't accept your quit, and now I know that I did the right thing. I've to be honest with you, all the mammals of Zootopia, especially the predators, remember your last words.
- Yes, and I'll remember it forever too.
- Thanks Chief Buffalo Butt, now Carrots will need therapy! All my profound and elaborate speeches are garbage now!
- As I was saying. - Said the big animal, trying to don't listen to the fox. - Now you've to work harder to win the apologies of the citizens, but saying all the things that the both of you did today, it's an excellent start, maybe I can help you with a public apologizing speech or something like that, just if you want it.
- I promised that I'll focus my life on protecting and serving all the mammals. If I can do something to repair my mistake, I'll do it, but yes please… help me with the speech…- The purple-eyes of the rabbit shined supplicants.
- Don't worry, you'll never be alone anymore. But before you start your medical license, I need all the proof and your statements.
- It'll be a pleasure! - The cop smiled, proudly.

Recording- Wilde 1-A
- I've to admit that I was happy for Carrots, about, you know, recovering her job and all the glory of her heroic adventure. Yes, yes, Official Toot-toot is an excellent cop, and I've met a lot of them in my past, and she is… different. Not everybody returns, accepts their faults and repairs the damages, you have to be different and brave, and she really is and she'll never gonna see this tape.
Anyways, at the end, the things are in the place it has to be and, a really little, little part of me is happy to know that she'll stay here in the city… Damn, these tapes are really dangerous!

Judy's room was totally in silence after the Buffalo left the room. They were thinking and remembering all the events of the day, they were so amazing that sometimes everything was like a dream or a crazy story.
- Well fluff, seems like everything is ok for you, you know.
- Yes, I'm a cop again, the bad guys are in jail, well eventually they will be, and the most important…
- You have proven to all of us that you are a real cop and that I was wrong and that everyone can do anything.
- Not really… The most important thing is that I recupere my friend and he accepted my apologies, despite the fact that I was a terrible friend and a dumb bunny. - She smiled sweetly to him, he was totally confused, feeling his heart working harder.
- You're so indulgent with others except you Carrots, just let it go, you were wrong, you solved the problem and now everything is ok, what I take us to the question… What's next?...
- Well, I suppose that maybe her lawyer will…
- Not about the case… I mean…
- Oh… about… you and I?
- Yes…
- Well, I need some rest for my leg and now I don't have my old department, so I need to come back to home, heal me and then, I'll come back to Zootopia to still work, maybe I don't know… a month or actually a couple of weeks. It wasn't so serious. What about you? Will you still be selling Pawpsicles?
- Naah, my days as Finnick's dad were over. After you left, the city was crazy and…
- I guess you guys couldn't leave your homes, right?
- Not so much... but as you know quite well, I have saved enough money for a vacation, so I rested all these months.
- But now that you are a hero too?
- I'm not a "hero", I'm a fox.
- Nick, you'll appear in the papers and in all the news, you helped me, you are as heroic as me. Believe me, the things for you will never be the same.

Recording - Hopps 2-A
- I really don't understand him. I mean, he did a lot of things in this case, he took me to the right places and the right people, he was who really helped me. If he hadn't intervened with Bogo, I would have lost my job... He is so especial, that's why I chose him as my partner at ZPD… but, now, after all the things I said, maybe I don't deserve his help, I mean, with what face do I ask him to work with me, I can't go and say to him, "Hey Nick, now that everything is settled, do you want to go back to our plan to become you a cop, even though I humiliated you and almost ruin everything for your species and the rest of the predators?" He's unique and crazy, but not stupid...I just feel like I don't deserve it.

Recording - Wilde 2-A
- What in the world is wrong with Carrots? Is it that the rabbits can't understand the hints? I just told her that I'm available, free, almost bored… and she doesn't ask me about being her partner… I don't know, maybe she thought things better and realized that I'm not a cop material… maybe is the last time we talk and… gee her emotionally is contagious!

The Hospital's room was left in an awkward silence, its occupants were left in a painful silence, which was interrupted by the timely intervention of Judy's badger nurse.
- Well, well, our heroine is ready to leave the Hospital! Congratulations! You can walk alone, but just with crutches, and take all your medicine for 2 weeks.
- Thank you. So is everything right?
- Sure Official Hopps. We'll see you in 3 weeks to remove the stitches from the leg.
- Perfect. - She tried to stand up and seconds later, her friend helped her to put on feet.
- There you are Fluff, you're almost free.
- Let's go to the parking lot.
The friends left the room and took the elevator, which after another round of awkward silence brought them to the main entrance. Stepping carefully out, they both stopped on the sidewalk.
- So, here is my stop. - She joked.
- I can see that... but will you be walking to your farm? With the foot in perfect condition.
- Not really. When you were giving your statements, I phoned my parents and my brother Jonah will bring me to home. I have to see him in the train station because he hasn't never been in the city before.
- Oh I see, but I can help you to bring you there.
- Oh yeah? And how? You don't have a car, don't' you?
- No, I don't have any, but, we don't need a car, we need my intelligence, just pay attention.
- What are you gonna do? Come back here Wilde!
Judy tried to scream as loud as she could, but to no avail. The fox approached a group of people and began to scream and sob.
- Help! Help me! My friend is threatening to take her own life! - He shouted in desperation, successfully attracting the attention of his audience, including Judy.
- What's wrong Fox? - Asked a ram.
- How can we help? - A pig approached him.
- It's my rabbit friend, her husband... he's about to leave her, alone, injured, in the big city, she's about to take a train to Bunnyburrow, but we won't make it in time... ever!
Nick signaled Judy as he continued his monologue, a thousand times she shook her head, however, in the end, the audience followed the arm of the redeemed con man pointing to the "victim" who happened to be her. Utterly embarrassed, she was shocked.
- You see... she doesn't even talk anymore... what will I do! The worst thing is... the poor little bunnies won't know their father.
- That's how some males are, don't worry buddy, I'll take you there! - A hare that was among the spectators led them to his car, while the others sent them off with cheers and applause.
- You don't know how much I hate you. - Whispered the girl to her friend, while he gave her back a sly smile.
- You're welcome Carrots, let's see your brother.
The trip was not at all comfortable. Nick sat next to the deluded driver, narrating the "sad life of the tender little doe", while the alluded one tried to stretch her paw in the back seat.
- And that wasn't the worst of it for my poor friend. On top of that, the guy took money from her, can you believe it?
- I told you, some males are real animals.
- And the worst part is that he traded her for another male rabbit, if you know what I mean... - Suddenly, Nick felt a strong kick from the back seat.
- I'm sorry, I was trying to get comfortable... but it's going really, really fast.
- I'm sorry friend, but if we want to catch that bastard, we have to go at that speed, in fact, look, we're almost there!
In the distance, the huge Zootopia station loomed in front of them. The doe sighed with relief.

This was the most uncomfortable and eternal trip in the world, despite the high speed the driver was driving... As soon as I get better, Nick will feel my wrath! Of course... that's if we meet again...

- Well... here we are... in a few minutes Jonah's train should arrive...
- That's the one you're coming back on?
- Yes... that's right...
The atmosphere was tense, the two of them looked at each other without looking, alternating the floor and the thousands of animals that were hurrying.
- Well, there's my train...
- Yes, it looks like you're going home.
- Yes... that's right... Then... you… - The fox dissolved the smile on his face.
- Take care of yourself, and stop getting into trouble, okay?
- Oh... sure lint, count on it. Wait...
- Yes? - The doe turned around as fast as she could.
- I'll help you up.
- Thank you... I guess that's it...
- You know where to find me in case when you get back you want some fun.
- Sure... Ah here! This is my number, I'll wait for your message.
- It will be a pleasure... so, have a good trip.
- Thank you.
The train began to move slowly, the animals were beginning to settle in, Judy spotted her brother, who was motioning for them to come closer, he was holding a seat for her. The officer sighed discouraged, hating her cowardice and when she was about to take a step towards the depth of the train, her friend's voice made her turn towards him once again.
- Hopps, I do want... to be your partner.
- What? - A tear of joy escaped the girl, and at that moment the train door closed.
- Oh hell, not now! - Nick took a deep breath and ran as fast as he could, trying to follow the carriage. - I will if you agree!
- Of course I agree! I didn't know how to ask you
- You really are a clumsy bunny!
- Take care of yourself, Partner!
The train disappeared and the fox didn't move until it was out of sight.
- "Partner", that sure sounds good.

Well, I admit I was happy, I had made my plan, and everything went perfectly. As soon as I got home, I took my forgotten cellphone, and sent her a message, of course, taking advantage of my anonymity I made a little joke, which she didn't believe. That girl is learning. The funny thing is that we didn't stop talking all day, she was obsessed with me.

Being home...it was chaos, mom and dad almost died seeing me come back hurt and without the truck...but, hey, I solved the case and got my job back! That didn't really calm them down at all, but they took it in better, I'll give them that.
When the clumsy Nick arrived, he wanted to make an extortion call to me... As if I didn't know his clumsy voice!
I must admit that now that we are friends, life feels... better. We already have a little routine of talking all day, which is quite nice. Being alone at home while everyone is planting and harvesting in the middle of summer, well, it's not much fun. Although he doesn't want to say it, he is excited, he sent his application a week ago...I talked to Bogo, his entrance to the academy is practically a fact... soon I will be back and everything will be great...Nothing can go wrong!

Nick was overflowing with happiness. It had been 10 days since his big case had been solved. He looked in the mirror, adjusting his tie and combing his hair. And as usual, he connected with his little friend.
- Just in time, Wilde!
- A policeman must be punctual.
- That's true, although you're not a cop yet.
- There's already talk of my collaboration on television, so I'm already getting the treatment of one.
- I told you you'd be a hero. Are you enjoying it?
- Sure! I get free stuff at certain establishments, that's always welcome.
- So, what's up? Did you get the reply email from the academy?
- Sorry Hopps, no news yet.
- Really? But they said ten days at the latest... that's a bad sign, maybe if I talk to Bogo's boss...
- Wow, wow, wow, easy Carrots, that won't be necessary, here's the email. I will screen share and record this beautiful moment for posterity.
- Stop being ridiculous and open the email!
- Okay, okay, just relax now. Let's see and it says:
"Dear Mr. Wilde, we have looked into your application to join the Zootopia Police Force Academy, however, your application has been rejected..."
They both stood in shock, while a congratulatory animation that Judy had prepared was suddenly activated.
