Walking down the uncrowded halls of the Natural History Museum, Nick and Judy both got a first look around at some of the artifacts that the main area of the building had on display. It was currently mid-afternoon around he metropolis, and the museum didn't seem to be bustling with visitors like it more than often did.

The fox and rabbit stopped at a series of statues, all of which were depictions of what mammals looked like long before Zootopia ever came to mind. After taking their time and reading through some of the boards of information that the exhibits provided, the two made a right and started to walk over to an ever-so-familiar portion of the museum.

As one could assume, where Nick and Judy made their way to was where the most mammals were located. In the next spacious area of the museum, the sunlight came bursting in through various windows that were up above them all.

While the building never had any loud or unwanted noise circulating around it, this particular part of it seemed to be where all of the sound and traffic was. In contrast to the other halls being basically bare, with only a few mammals other than Nick and Judy occupying them, this next space was busy.

The sounds of paws and hooves clicked across the marble floors of the main atrium, echoing around the chamber. Several families could be seeing on both sides looking around at whatever was interesting them, kits and grown-ups alike pointing at some of the different artifacts that were enclosed in protective glass cases.

In the very heart of the space, another bunch of enthusiastic mammals seemed to be staring down at something that was below them. Where they were all congregated near was none other than the exhibit that would remain iconic to the history of both the Natural History Museum and the city of Zootopia itself. Nick, upon seeing the location, immediately recognized the spot as the natural exhibit that Bellwether's ram minions pushed him and Judy into.

The memories of those perilous but exciting moments started coming to Nick's mind as he looked down at the circular observatory; the moments so clear in his head as if a miniature film projector was playing in his brain. Judy met up with the vulpine, placing a paw on Nick's arm and the other on the protective steel railing.

"Gosh," the doe murmured. "Can't believe it's already been three years, Slick. It feels like yesterday that we were pushed into that very spot."

"Yeah," Nick breathed simplistically in reply, looking over at his companion. "But I'll admit that the museum is a lot better viewing it this way. Especially when you don't got some crazy sheep running after you."

Judy laughed. "Yep, that's for sure."

"And who would've ever guessed that we'd become part of the exhibit, too?" the vulpine inquired.

The fox pointed over to two tall carved figures, sculpted in both his and Judy's likeness. Although he was seeing it with his own eyes, it still felt unbelievable to Nick that he somehow became a part of the city's modern history somehow.

"If you would've told me three years ago that I'd be celebrated in Zootopia's history books, I would've told you that you we're crazy," Nick continued, happy tears starting to take form in his eyes. "Now I got a statue, and it's all thanks to this sly bunny right beside me." He pointed a paw gently towards Judy, making her smile. "It's all because you believed in me, Carrots."

Author's Note: Still can't believe that Zootopia turned three years old not only a few days ago. Gosh, I remember like it was just yesterday that I first saw and fell in love with it. So I wrote this small story here to help celebrate the movie turning three years old. :)
