"Delivery!"

The bubbly proclamation came from Judy as she stepped out of the rain and back inside of her and her companion's apartment. In both paws, the doe carried a white box containing a half-dozen doughnuts, as well as a small paper bag that was on top of it. As she carefully set what she had been carrying down on the table, her fox naturally came strolling into the room from around the corner.

"And what do we have here?" Nick chimed, his eyes dotting over to the boxes laying idly on the table.

"I come bearing fried confections," Judy replied with a smirk.

The bunny opened up the box, and revealed the six various doughnuts that were nestled securely inside of it.

Nick quickly reached inside and started to munch on the doughnut he selected from it. Judy took out the glazed one from out of the box and took a bite out of it as well.

When she finished up the confection that she had in her paw, the rabbit informed, "This was basically all they had ready when I went over there." Judy grabbed the additional paper bag and set it to the side. "They did, however, have some bagels on hand, so I got us a few of those, too."

"Did you make sure that they put lox on 'em?" Nick asked.

The rabbit looked at her companion, a tad confused by his somewhat-strange inquiry. "No, why?"

"I'm surprised, Fluff," the tod replied. "You should always make sure that you put lox on them."

"And why's that?" Judy inquired.

The vulpine was now smirking widely. "So no one can take 'em. Why else?"

Judy didn't understand what he meant at first. However, after a short moment of silence, her mind finally understood his witty pun. She started shake her head and faintly laugh alongside him.

"Very funny, Slick," she said after her laughing died down.

"Maybe I should try pursuing comedy on the side," the fox remarked in reply. "Anyway, I would ask what was on the itinerary for today, but that crappy weather's really puttin' a damper on things. Guess you could say that we'd have to take a rain check on going out today."

Judy snickered once more at her companion's second usage of puns. "I didn't really have anything planned for today anyway," she said. "I guess I'd have to go and consult the list real quick. Maybe I'll get some ideas for when the weather's a little sunnier outside."

"The list, Carrots?" Nick asked

The doe walked out of the tod's sight, coming back not even a minute later with a small spiral notebook that had been flipped to certain page.

"Long story short: I got bored one night and decided to just jot down a little list of things to do," Judy said. "Used to make ones similar to this when I was young, and tried to do what I had wrote down when summertime rolled around."

She handed the notebook over to Nick, and his eyes started to scan what she had written upon the page. Some of the things that were listed appeared to be scratched out or had a checkmark beside them, indicating that they had been previously done. Others, however, were still yet to be done.

"Let's see what we have on here," he murmured as he read what was written out loud. "'See Savannah Central's big firework show,' 'Go kayaking in the Canal District.' Really like some of these ones so far. They sound like a lot of fun to me."

Judy took the notebook from out of his paws and started flipping through a few pages. "Here was a list I had written in here awhile back," she informed, giving it back to him. "Thought you would like this."

Nick examined what was written on the top of this older page. The words "Find the Mammal of My Dreams" having been crossed out. At this, all that the vulpine could do was grin. Before he handed the notebook back, however, something unchecked on the page managed to catch his attention.

The vulpine read aloud, "'See a lighthouse?'"

Judy's ears perked up at him mentioning that in particular. "Oh, yeah," she muttered, "I completely forgot that I wrote that one on there. That one is… a pretty significant one to me. I've wanted to be able to check that one off for quite some time now."

"In that case, your wish is my command, Fluff," Nick replied. "If it's a lighthouse you wish to see, then it is a lighthouse I shall take you to." A clap of thunder reverberated nearby, causing both mammals to turn their heads and look out the window. "Whenever the rain decides to cut some slack, that is."

Judy laughed under her breath, walking up closer to her fox and giving him a gentle hug. "Thank you, Nick," she murmured.

A Few Days Later…

"All smiles" was definitely Nick's best ways to describe Judy's current mood. From the moment that they started to drive to their destination to the moment that they made paid for their admission, there was this broad smile that simply couldn't wiped off of her muzzle.

Nick and Judy kept climbing up the steps of the spiral staircase that continued to twist upward. Judging from the extra light that came shining in from above them, they could assume that there was only a little bit more walking left to do before they reached the top of the lighthouse.

Once they reached the very top of the structure, the two walked outside and observed the sights from the enclosed terrace.

The weather conditions, overall, were at their clearest, the clear horizon making it the best time for an activity such as the one they were doing. And they couldn't have picked a better time of the day to arrive, either. While the tourist attraction had its fair share of visitors, it definitely wasn't as packed as they both had originally anticipated it would be.

Mouth agape, Judy immediately walked over to the protective railing and gazed out at the panoramic watery views that surrounded her. Her ears took in the sounds of gulls, crying above her as they soared within the breeze. Looking downward, the doe observed just how high above the ground they truly were. Where they had previously started their walk up looked quite tiny from the height she was observing it from.

Nick stood right by his bunny's side, holding onto his phone as he tried to get at least a few good pictures of the unbeatable scenery. Afterwards, the two remained silent as they continued to look out

"These views…" Judy said. "They're amazing."

"My thoughts exactly, Carrots," Nick replied, claws tapping against rail in front of him. "My thoughts exactly."

"Now I can officially cross this one off of that list back home."

The fox turned his head to the right, emerald eyes now gazing at the smiling bunny standing beside him.

"You know," Judy breathed after a pause, "my grandmother always said that she wanted to see a lighthouse, but never got to. I would go over to her house and always see this little wooden craft she had that looked like one sitting on a table. So one day I asked her about why she had it, and she told me about how that that was something she wanted to do in her lifetime. It was her final wish to me that I see a lighthouse for her, so she could look down one day and see the smile on my face as I looked out at the water." A tear started taking formation in her amethyst eye, and she wiped it away as she continued to study the horizon. "That's… That's why seeing the lighthouse was so significant to me, and it's all thanks to you, Nick, that I could fulfill my grandmother's wish."

Smiling tenderly, the doe rested her small paw on top of the vulpine's. As she looked over to her right, Judy imagined her beloved grandmother standing beside her, humbly smiling in her favorite dress as she felt the gently-blowing wind coursing by.

"All right," Nick said after a minute. "Ready to start walking back down?"

The rabbit nodded. "Yep."

Right before they both went to turn around, the fox turned his phone on and opened the camera app. "But first we need a picture to remember the moment," he replied. Holding up the phone, he remarked, "Say 'Lighthouse!'"

Smiling for the camera, Judy giggled. "Lighthouse," she murmured.

Click!

"That's a keeper, Fluff," Nick said.

With the picture now taken, and the memory associated with it now made, the pair said goodbye to the view and started their walk back down.
