Judy went to the roof, wind blew past her ears. On the chair was a russet fox with no markings in a pawaiian shirt with a loose tie and khakis . He had a bottle of scotch whiskey in his paw and was swigging from it over and over again. "Hey there." The fox stated.

"Hi, sorry I'm meant to meet someone here."

"Yeah, no-one usually comes up here."

"So why would he send me here?"

"Because, carrots, he expected you to have better deductive reasoning. He thought you saw the brown water at the bottom of the shower. And be honest he thought correctly."

"H-how did you know?"

"You walked in on me showering, there was brown water on white tiles. You wanted to be a police officer ,no? You should be able to link such facts together ,no?" The fox turned and grinned, all while taking another swig.

"You're drunk." She commented disappointedly. The fox shook his head. Then he stood up from the foldable lawn chair he left there.

"That's the thing, I can't be intoxicated. By any chemical. And that makes it harder to deal with today." His face instantly morphed into one of pain and depression.

The bunny sighed, "I'm sorry about that Spectre."

"Don't be. You had nothing involved with the actions. He was killed, by that prick Erik. Sonuva fucking bitch pulled the trigger in front of me." He turned towards Judy and taken a step but instantly collapsed from the enormous amount of guilt he had. "It was my fault, he died." He said afterwards. "Mine" Tears started to form again in his eyes. The rabbit was surprised at what she was seeing. The infamous Spectral Showman had emotion and was crying above all. "H-he-e D-die-ied trying t-to ..." the broken fox tried to take a heavy breath in the middle of his silent sobbing. "protect me." The fox pulled out a note from his pocket and shakily given it to the rabbit. "See, my fault."

The rabbit unfolded the bent piece of paper she was given. It was a contract, she was curious how one looked but this wasn't the context for which she wanted to see one. The rabbit read it and then realised what was written. "Kill one Spectral Showman for $20,000,000 , woah. I-I didn't know about this. " She was taken aback by this. "Wait, doesn't this mean someone has it out for you?"

"Read the rest."

Judy continued and her eyes opened wide. "Holy cheese and crackers, me as well?"

"Just swear like the rest of us. And would you look at that , I endangered your life as well. I should've left you alone, you don't know how to fight." The fox sighed. "Tomorrow morning we are going to Wolford and he will train you."

"Wait, you're giving up on me? I'm already on the hitlist so I might as well stick with you. I'm more likely to live that way. Aren't I?" Judy started questioning her own logic and was unsure if she was right anymore.

"If you want to deliver a point, try to be more confident , don't doubt yourself, looks bad. Secondly, you are just a way to get to me. It's a painful truth but the truth it is."

"Spectre, look at me. "She smiled encouragingly and confidently . "Does it look like I care? " The fox shook his head. "Exactly, If I wanted to leave, I would've left a while ago." The rabbit walked towards the sobbing fox and hugged him. She gently whispered into his ear. "Let it all out. It's normal to feel like this." The fox burst into tears and started crying out loud . Judy patted his back softly and rhythmically . "It's okay, it's just a part of life."

"He was my only friend." He cried out. "He told me to promise something and I don't know if I can do it. I'm such a bad mammal, hell, I kill mammals for a living and I became so distant from that part of me that I treat it as a completely different mammal. This right here is not the Spectral Showman."

Judy chuckled lightly at that last part. "Then what should I call you?"

"Nicholas Piberius Wilde, my actual name."

The bunny froze when she heard that,"Y-you trust me? Is it a lie?"

"Yes, I trust you enough, I have my reasons for why. No it isn't a lie." The rabbit kissed the fox's forehead to comfort him and to show that she cares for him. The fox froze and instantly stopped crying.

"Can I ask something fursonal?"The fox nodded in her chest. "Why do you try to push everyone away from yourself, many mammals try to help you so why do you try to isolate yourself?"

"Because I'm scared. Firstly, because I was always scared something like today would happen. But secondly, major trust issues. This isn't the first mammal to try and kill me nor the first to kill a friend. But it just hurts just as much each and everytime. But the worst was the first one who tried, my ex-girlfriend, a vixen named Chloe Vienta. She was a hitmammal as well and that is how we met and very quickly started dating. But clearly it was a one-sided relationship. Sooner or later, she accepted a contract against me and tried to kill me." The rabbit squeezed tighter and rubbed Nick's back. "The worst part was, I killed her and I didn't care that she was killed. I always justified it with self-defence. It hurts to know that anyone I let in could hurt me or kill me for their own gain."

"It was self-defence, that isn't a justification ,it is a fact and there must still be mammals who care about you that isn't me."

"Thank you , my sweet serenade." That comment made the rabbit blush.

"How long did it take to think of that?"

"It wasn't me, it was Mikey."

"Something to remember him by?"

"Well , I was thinking." The fox now stood up. "If you ever want to partner up, we can have names that do match kinda." He wanted to shift the topic to stop thinking about his past.

"As in?" The doe was now curious as to what the fox was referring to.

"Well, if I'm the Spectral Showman, you could be something related to shows as well, maybe the sinful serenade?"

"I think I would like that. But I also think that it is enough sad stories for today, time to cheer up. We both know that he wouldn't want you to act like that."

"That was one of the promises." Nick admitted quickly in response. He chuckled after saying that. "I'm sorry for trying to push you away without asking you first."

"I get it. You weighed up the options in your mind and decided that that was the safer option. But does safer mean better?" She raised an eyebrow and looked at her mentor. The fox turned back to the edge and stepped closer.

"I don't know." He picked up his half full bottle and gripped it tightly. "Want some?"

"No." When he heard that, he threw the bottle far away and it actually landed in a bin far away. "Wow, you are good."

"Comes with years of practice." The fox remarked , sighing into the empty air. "Come stand here with me. Please, trust me." That made Judy instantly realise that all he needed was some form of comfort even if the fox refused to let her. She jumped up. "look at the vast array of cars and buildings. All housing mammals, who all have lives. All of which are intertwined with others. If something happens to one mammal, it is spoken about and mammals care. There is an exception to that rule however." Judy knew where this was going. "No-one cares about criminals, hell , most fuckers think that it is a good thing when one dies. They refuse to admit it but it is true because there is 'less crime' in the streets but cut the head off a hydra and two more take its place. The issue is then will those two act the same." Nick then looked down. "Mikey died and no-one will care about it. No-one except me and that's it."

"That's not true, I care."

"Can I confess something?"

"Yeah, you can."

"Don't hate me for it but I was contracted to protect you by someone who I said I owe big time. I haven't seen them but they texted me to protect you."

"So it wasn't a choice. " Judy was slightly upset by that revelation . "How much was given to you?"

"The amount I given you this morning. They were really desperate however so I accepted. I'm sorry if you thought it was a thing of chance or a happy coincidence. It's just I Nicholas Wilde had a debt to pay."

"Any clues as to who?"

"You can figure it out."

"Wait, Nicholas Wilde, that Wilde. Do you know a Thomas Hopps? He speaks poorly about foxes but says you are different. You are an exception and I wouldn't expect anything less from him."

"So he is still like that. Yeah, I know him."

"He planted a tree in your memory and it has 4 blueberry bushes around it. Apparently you love blueberries."

"Tommy you bastard, yeah I do."Nick smiled, knowing that he was planted a memory that would last longer than anyone there. A true symbol of memory, of someone caring. The fox stepped down then offered a paw to help the bunny down. "Lets go."

"Any ideas Mr. Wilde?"

"One but it involves not deciding anything." The rabbit looked stumped at that comment. "What if we walk about and just decide if we enter a place or not. There are plenty of bars and clubs about so why not. You'll know when you see one and I got cash. What do you say?"

"I like it. See you downstairs." The bunny walked off and left the fox to stand for a few seconds. He then walked over to his chair and folded it up. He then put it by the side under a small shelter to keep it dry in case it rains. He then smiled. 'That damned bunny, she is gonna do something to me, I swear' He then rubbed his forehead, remembering the kiss. He then descended down the stairs. He felt good like this, not wearing the suit or as he saw it the mask. It was liberating to finally be Nick Wilde instead of Spectral Showman.

At the bottom, he meandered around the bottom until he saw Judy walk out of the building. "Sorry had to deal with something."

"It's okay, we have all night remember. But we need to be a bit careful. We do have a hit out for us and by us , I do mean you as well." Nick pointed at his usual mark spots. "They won't recognise me. Wanna change your appearance maybe?"

"No, it will be a hassle and I will be hungover tomorrow anyways. It will be extremely annoying." Judy cringed at the thought of waking up ill and then seeing someone else looking back at her in the mirror. "How did you get used to it?"

"I don't know, it just kinda clicked with me." Nick admitted. He then looked around . "So which way shall we head?"

Judy pointed in a random direction , "That way."

"Aye aye cap'n" was his response.

They didn't find anything for a while as it was mainly empty roads, but that was due to the location of the house rather than the actual boringness of the street. But after they reached a place more closer to the centre they started off by entering a small pub. "So a nice drink for the lady? Well, I'll be damned." The rabbit rolled her eyes.

"I'll let you know, we brewed our own beverages and they were strong. I could walk those off. I'm not some lightweight."

"I never said you were, I'm just commenting on the fact that we are starting with a drink."

"We need to start the buzz anyhow so why not now?"

"You need to, I technically already started."

"I couldn't even tell." Judy responded genuinely forgetting about the half a bottle of scotch he drank. "But we can get more in."

The two walk into the bar side by side, and although it was a mixed bar, the predators and prey divided themselves on either side of the room. For the fox the smell of alcohol perforated around the room, it was a strong smell, but Nick didn't mind it. The groups of mammals looked at the two in disgust but also laughing at the absurdity. However not all could take this sitting down. An elk walked up to the duo that has just entered before they could reach the bar. Nick instantly noticed this and resisted the urge to prepare for what was about to happen. "Whatever happens tell the truth, Carrots. No point lying."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see."

The elk stopped the two and looked at the rabbit. He was muscular and well built. He was also well spoken. He wore a white shirt and jeans with a belt on. "Ma'am are you okay? Is he forcing you to do anything?"

"No. Why would you assume such a thing?" Judy responded slightly annoyed.

Someone shouted from the other side of the room. "Why would he do something, clearly he is the victim, with how manipulative prey can be. We all know it." Nick chuckled at that. He then rubbed his chin.

"Care to repeat that ,Fatso?" The elk shouted at the grizzly bear that shouted that.

Nick leaned in and whispered gently, "Bar fight. Be careful." The bear stood up and walked over to the elk.

"You heard me , prey filth." The bear spoke vehemontly.

Judy was crestfallen, why couldn't they just get along. If they looked past species they would be such good friends. And Judy knew that was true. Nick poked Judy's shoulder gently to signify to go around. The two do so and finally arrive at the bar. "How can I help ye?"

"I'll take an ice cold beer, thanks." The russet fox answered.

"And I'll take a carrot and vodka mix-up." The rabbit followed up.

The bartender turned around to pour the drinks for the bunny. "Quite a strong drink. I respect that."

"Well, we need to start off strong and I can't let your scotch whiskey beat me." The fox shrugged as he pulled out a 20 zoollar bill from his wallet. "Besides, they taste good usually. A nice sweet punch." The fox didn't know how to respond, he never drank one before. He never he thought to drink liquor for the taste and aftereffect. "Would you consider yourself an alcoholic?"

"Woah, starting off strong there aren't we? That's a tough one but it depends on your definition. On one paw yes, I drink a lot but on the other paw no I'm not addicted, hell, I don't drink liquor for any reason that I would state here."

Behind them the brawl that started with two mammals quickly grew in size as more and more mammals joined in. The bartender returned with the two drinks. "That would be 12 zoollars."

Nick hands the twenty held removed. "Keep the change, you might need it." The fox winked.

"Thank you , please enjoy ye drinks."

Nick opened his bottle using his claw then turned around. "You know" he started then turned to Judy, "It's weird being on this side of the fight."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, usually I'm actually fighting someone, and this is quite interesting but also boring." The fight raged on but was drawn to a close when the bartender pulled out a double barrel with one blank and one actual buckshot. He fired the blank into the ceiling to grab everyone's attention. Everyone but Nick flinched. Nick remained calm and drank his beer. He gently whispered to the rabbits ear, "Used to not flinching now, if you hear the gunshot , then it wasn't meant for you. Just remember to cover your ears." The rabbit nodded and sat upright.

"All of ye are making a mess, if ye want to carry on drinkin' , ye better calm down. Or else."

The elk turned and looked at the bartender, who was currently beside the calm fox and drinking bunny. He quickly realised that he was attacking the wrong mammal, it was the fox's fault. "It's his fault, that fucking pelt."

"Hey, hey , hey. I'm here to get fucking smashed. That's it and she knows all the good places, so she agreed to show me around so I can learn the place. There is no control and no manipulation. You can all sit down." The elk walked up to the fox that just said it. "There a problem?"

"Yes, you." The elk answered before throwing a punch. The loose clothing that the fox was wearing hid his well trained body. Nick put up his arm instinctually, while swigging his drink and stopped the punch with his palm. He then clamped his fingers tightly and twisted the elk's arm to a point where the elk was in a position that forced him to bend over.

"You know, I could break your arm right now, and I would," He paused while leaning in. "If you were right, but luckily for you, you are wrong." He then straightened up and declared proudly to the entire bar "I don't wish to hurt anyone but I am willing to defend myself. That is every mammal's right. " He then turned back to the elk. "So leave us alone." The elk nodded as Nick twisted more. He seemed to be about to cry until the fox released his arm. "Thank you for understanding." He smiled gleefully. The elk fled back to his seat. Nick just carried on his drink until he felt it finished. "Want this glass back?" The bartender nodded slightly after seeing what the fox did.

"How did ye do that?"

"Practise, you wouldn't believe how bad I got it." The duo planted their empty glasses back triumphantly and got up, time to find another place. "Nice place, shame about the regulars, and nice use of blanks. See ya, maybe I'll be back." The two left.

"Wow, that escalated, didn't it?"

"Yeah, but I expected that, and that was one of the less interesting places. Don't worry we have the entire night." Judy nodded then skipped further down the road. Nick just happily followed. "She has too much optimism I swear."

The two continued down the road, but at this point all have gone to their location of choice by now so it would be unusual to see any mammals walking around now. They see another place. Judy tries to suggest it but is quickly shot down by a simple fact pointed out by Nick. "That's a brothel and I would rather not go there." Judy's ears quickly blushed as the revelation appeared. She quickly dropped her ears and turned around to keep walking on. "I was waiting for something like that to happen honestly." He smiled innocently but didn't laugh to try and be respectful but inside, he was dying of laughter. "Yeah, lets just keep going."

After another five minutes of walking, the two have found a club, it was cheap but also quite large. They reach the entrance, where they find a boar blocking the door. "Entry fee is 5 zoollars per mammal." Nick pulled out a 10 zoollar bill and pawed it over. "Enjoy your time."

The two enter and instantly see bright lights shine over the whole place. Green, blue and red spotlights twisting and turning in different directions. A DJ was at the very end and he was mixing the music admittedly quite well, although seemingly not mainstream professionally. However, for such a cheap club it was more than acceptable. Judy dragged the unwilling fox to the dance floor where they started to bust a move. Judy was quite stiff and closed in with her dance moves but Nick, Nick danced well and proud. His motions were flamboyant yet tame, firm yet gentle and masculine yet feminine. The two danced for about ten minutes until the two decided to buy another drink. This time Judy ordered a Beerrot , which was a beer of carrot taste, go figure. However, Nick ordered a Tutti Frutti. He wanted something sweeter.

All of a sudden the song finished and changed instantly. Then a song played that both mammals knew, scratch that , all mammals knew in the club. The guitar played a gentle jingle and every mammal started clapping. Then a saxophone started playing on top of everything loudly. Then all of a sudden every mammal of the same mind shouted the one word that the song possessed "TEQUILA" , this repeated over and over again and every mammal enjoyed the song . The laughed , talked and joined in to the song whenever it was time. Judy laughed after shouting the infamous lyric. Nick just joined in each and every time, chuckling at the absurdity. Nick downed his drink on the last saying of tequila as his drink was made from that exact drink ironically enough. "Wanna go back to the dance floor?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" The two returned and the fox started slowing down his dance moves to not overshadow the moves of the others that were around. Then Sandstorm by Dashrewed played. The fast paced music meshed well with the mentality of this place and everyone started dancing at a faster pace. Then Nick noticed something.

"Wait here, I'll return." He walked off in a direction but the rabbit wouldn't be able to follow even if she tried, the crowd was too thick to try. After a few seconds the fox returned with a few glowsticks on himself and some spare in his hand. The glowsticks were in the usual spots for most mammals , the wrist and neck but he also put one on the very start of his muzzle where it was a perfect fit coincidentally. His glowsticks were a whole assortment of colours , green blue and orange. "Told you I'll come back." Then the fox turned around 360 and the rabbit chuckled as she saw a few glowsticks on his bushy tail at regular intervals. "So what do you think?"

"You are really something, have you no shame?"

"Shame? What does that mean?" Nick laughed out as the rabbit also laughed and started putting on the glowsticks that Nick had just bought. She put it on in the regular spots but also on the bottom of her ears.

"Thank you for buying these."

"We are in a club and it would look nice , no? Besides , even if we leave we can wear these, so you can see me easier and navigate easier."

"That's a good idea slick, I wouldn't have thought of that."

"Also, if anyone was to ask, we can pull the whole we're drunk card." He winked as he said it.

The two continued to dance to the vast array of EDM music that was playing. Then all of a sudden, the liquor that Judy had consumed suddenly kicked in. It was clear as day as she was balancing a bit poorer and when she wanted to speak it was slightly slowed down but otherwise, she could be considered sober by most metrics. The two enjoyed their time as they spent longer there. "Looks like you've past your limit."

"Sshut up dumb fox, you don't know what you're talking about."

"Of course, of course you're so right." Nick laughed as he continued to dance. "Wanna hit the town again? Maybe we'll find something else that would be fun."

"Llike?"

"A karaoke bar maybe? I'll show you how good of a singer I am."

"Iff it's as good as a dancer then , you might be washed out."

"I'd say I'm a good dancer, but I'm a better singer." Nick said with a wink.

"I'll be the judge of that."

"I don't know if I trust you to judge if you think you can dance better than me." Judy threw a light jab at the fox once she heard that. Although, it didn't hurt and Nick could withstand much stronger punches, he exaggerated the effects and clutched his arm. "How could you? I think you broken it. Oh no, my legacy, ruined." He spoke with an exaggerated panic. The rabbit chuckled in response. "Why are you laughing? You sick bunny , you enjoy pain, no wonder you wanted to be a cop."

The bunny responded in an equally exaggerated tone. "How dare you assume such ill thoughts about me. I'll have you know , I'm just lightly sick." The two laughed at their interaction. "But it is loud in here , so maybe it is time to leave."

"After you." He bowed and pointed towards the door with his paw that was further away, having his arm cross his entire his body. The rabbit walked towards the exit and the fox followed closely behind. "Where to now?" Judy then pointed in a direction. "We came from that direction though. Are you sure?" Judy quickly did a 180 turn.

"I was testing you." Nick rolled his eyes and chuckled. The two wandered down the road and Judy moved with a spring in her step, she was clearly enjoying herself and this oddly made the fox happy. "Onwards, to wherever the road takes us."

"Third times the charm?" The rabbit nodded. The roads were filled with more mammals now, most likely after having too much and deciding to return home to recuperate. Many struggled to stand upright and the fox chuckled at the sight. "Always need to know your limits."

"So you can surpass them." That comment surprised Nick, he wasn't expecting anything like that from Judy. "That's the fun part , right?"

"I wouldn't know if it would be the fun part, remember, immune to the effects of all chemicals. So I can't be drunk but don't worry , I'm enjoying myself."

"I hope you are ,this is your celebration." The rabbit responded quickly. She then tugged the fox's arm to drag him to another location.

"Ooh a karaoke bar, could be fun. Wanna sing?"

"No but I want you to put your money where your mouth is."

"Fair enough. How does this sound, I'll sing three songs and all will be a secret until I sing them." (A/N: Lets play a game, can you name all three songs? There will be the entire lyrics broken up but I would like the title and artist. You can't name them no harm no foul, just a small game. The prize will be a virtual high five.)

"Sounds good. Lets go." The two walk in and Nick quickly sees two mammals sitting at a table discussing something. He knew who and what they were but they didn't know him, he wanted to keep it that way for now as it was disadvantageous for him.

"Hey , Carrots, it's those two who you got help to find your phone."

"Yeah" She responded then paused. "Wait how did you know?"

"Phone number, I recognised it, hers." The two walked over to the jackrabbit and arctic fox that sat together sipping margaritas. "Evening to the two of you. Mr. Savage and Ms. Frost ." He then looked at Jack. "Although I have to admit, at first glance you look like a Darren. Looks like I was wrong." The two were surprised to see a fox brazenly approach them like that. And Jack was stunned at the point the fox just made. "I have a friend that recognised you two." Then Judy approached.

"Oh hi, Judy , right? What a surprise to see you again. Did you find your phone?" Skye quickly put out while Jack was trying to stifle a laugh, due to the two wearing the glowsticks as they did.

"Yeah, this lovely gentlemammal found it and found me to return it. He then offered to show me around town. He is so kind , right?"

The two mammals in front of Judy who were seated , even though one was a fox, both had preset thoughts about his intentions. Jack quickly said, "Be careful who you trust, he could be dangerous."

"Yeah, he doesn't seem like the most trustworthy mammal around."

Then Nick approached a bit closer. "I am hurt by such unjust allegations, I would never try and scam a fellow mammal into doing something they wouldn't want. I would hustle them instead."

The rabbit facepalmed . His dry humour was not helping the current situation. The two seated mammals looked at each other and gazed questioningly. "Well, as long as you both are safe and not hurting each other then it is fine, right?" The vixen stated.

"Yeah , I agree." Her partner added.

"Would it be okay if we sat with you two for the time being?" Nick asked "It would seem we have a few topics to discuss."

"Sure, sure, please sit." Jack answered and stood up to move the chair for the doe present.

"Thank you." Judy stated quietly while Nick moved his chair to take a seat himself. "So what have you two been doing today?"

"Well, we have had a few business meetings and a few discussions about future prospects. Afterwards we decided to have a nice drink here to de-stress." Nick feigned a smile, knowing fully well that they are lying. 'You might have her convinced but I know better. He he and so will she .' "What about you two?"

Nick answered first to try and give Judy time to make up a story. "Me, I had a day off today so I lied in but at about 1 o'clock I left to find myself a nice meal . Well, a 'nice' meal , I wasn't really bothered to cook for myself today. On the way there I found her phone on Shrub road. There I tried to quickly work out who's phone it was and it wasn't difficult since there was no security lock on it." He slowly turned to the doe next to him. "You should probably add one by the way." He then turned back. "After that, I was about to give the phone in but that was when we bumped into each other. From there we spoke a little and that was when I learned she is from out of the city . That is why I offered to show her around the area and that brings us to now."

"Me, after the search in the restaurant, I looked about for a bit then went home to collect my thoughts. Then I retraced my steps after an hour or two and that was when I bumped into him." She points at Nick slightly but visibly. "After that it was as he said, he gave me back my phone and we spoke for a bit and he offered to show me around the area."

"Wow, really interesting but Nick I have one question. I haven't seen you around, how long have you lived here?" Jack asked , demonstrating that he doesn't trust the fox. Something about the fox was off, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"All my life, but I work long hours. With the whole being a fox thing, it's hard to have good pay so I struggle. Luckily today and tomorrow I'm going to have a day off."

"Good for you."

"I would love to continue this conversation but there is a promise I need to keep."

"And what is that?"

"You'll see." Nick gets up and walks over to the stage after putting on a few songs to play as he sings along.

(Thi one should be easy.)

He gets up on stage as a gentle acoustic guitar starts playing. Then Nick starts playing with a moderately fast tempo. "Ooooooo oo oo." He then turned around leaving the microphone where it was a singing without it . He stretched his arms out."I had a dream so big and loud." His voice was loud and very in tune, he didn't need the microphone. Judy then realised that he wasn't lying when he said he was a good singer. He then jumped while saying "I jumped so high I touched the clouds." He then paced along the edge of the stage with a "Woooo ooo oooo." He then raised his arms . "I stretch my arms up to the sky." He then started to lightly dance on the spot while pushing and pulling his arms . "We dance with monsters through the ni-ight, Woooo oooo ooo oo o ooooooo."He wagged his finger to the crowd for the next couple of lines. "I'm never gonna look back , I'm never gonna give it up. Please. Don't . Wake . Me now." He stopped wagging his finger and spread his arms "Woooo ooo oo oooh, This is gonna be the best day of my li-i-i-ife. My li-i-i-i-ife. Woooo ooo oo oooh, This is gonna be the best day of my li-i-i-ife. My li-i-i-i-ife." Nick then looked upwards towards the ceiling "I howled at the moon with friends " He then brought his paw up and into his other paw "And then the sun came crashing in. Woo-ooo-oo-o-oh. But all the possibilities , no limits just epiphanies" He then repeated his actions from before. "I'm never gonna look back , I'm never gonna give it up. Please. Don't . Wake . Me now. Woooo ooo oo oooh, This is gonna be the best day of my li-i-i-ife. My li-i-i-i-ife. Woooo ooo oo oooh, This is gonna be the best day of my li-i-i-ife. My li-i-i-i-ife." He then cupped his ear. "I hear it calling, outside my window." He then moved his arms along his entire body "I feel it in my soul" He then covered his eyes "The stars were burning so bright, the sun was out to midnight. I say we lose control." He then started finishing off the first song. Woooo ooo oo oooh, This is gonna be the best day of my li-i-i-ife. My li-i-i-i-ife. Woooo ooo oo oooh, This is gonna be the best day of my li-i-i-ife. My li-i-i-i-ife. This is gonna be , this is gonna be , this is gonna be The best day of my li-i-ife."He then raised his arms and pointed to the sky "Everything is looking up , everybody up now, This is gonna be the best day of my li-iife my li-i-i-i-ife." He then posed to signify that it was the end of the song. All mammals cheered at how the fox sung, albeit they were all mostly drunk. "Now don't worry , I'm not done yet, I have two more songs to sing." The mammals cheered more when they heard that.

(Now this one is newer but you should be able to know what it underlined parts are lyrics to simplify it.)

A single note played for a prolonged period of time. The fox continued to make gestures that correlated to the lyrics he was singing but this time it was in front of the microphone. "Gimme gimme gimme some time to think. I'm in the bathroom looking at me" he noticed a group of mammals enter and knew that they would be recognised by the two mammals that he spoke to just before singing. He nodded his head to Judy to try and force her to turn their attention. She did just that . The two turned and quickly reacted. "Face in the mirror is all I need." During the short pause he called out "You want me, you pricks" Jack was confused by Nick's bravery? Maybe foolishness? Some of the mammals which ranged from smaller wolves to otters walked towards the stage. He continued singing while smiling. "Waiting til the reaper takes my life, never gonna get me out alive." then some of the mammals went in to attack the singing fox. He shook his head and punched the unlucky otter than charged at him. He then pulled out the otter's pistol and started shooting at the mammals that wanted to attack him. "I will live a thousand million lives." He then walked towards the largest mammal there that was the wolf. "My patience is waning, is this entertaining , our patience is waning, Is this entertaining?" As he said that, he threw a punch in time with the song's beat. This was until the wolf fell to the floor. There was little that the wolf could do then. The fox quickly prepared to fight more and more. "I-I-I got this feeling, yeah , you know. Where I'm losing all control, because there's magic in my bones. I-I-I got this feeling in my soul, go ahead and throw your stones, cause there's magic in my bones." Mammals kept trying to attack the showman. Judy quickly realised that character was coming out. He grabbed a frag pin from one of the mammals and sang "Playing with a stick of dynamite. There was never grey in black or white. There was no wrong until there was right." He kept fending off the 6 mammals that were trying to kill him. He was just enjoying himself. Judy quickly ran to Nick to try and support him so he doesn't turn fully. Many mammals were panicking now from all the commotion. "Feeling like a boulder , hurdling" He then charged at three of the mammals on his left side "Seeing all the vultures , circling. Burning in the flames, I'm working in. Turning in my bed , it's darkening." He then turned to the other side to attack them "My patience is waning, is this entertaining , our patience is waning, Is this entertaining?" He started attacking them along side the rabbit that joined in. "I-I-I got this feeling, yeah , you know. Where I'm losing all control, because there's magic in my bones. I-I-I got this feeling in my soul, go ahead and throw your stones, cause there's magic in my bones." He uppercut another wolf , knocking him out. "Cause there's magic in my bones." He then turned to look at Judy for a second "Looking at the the mirror of my mind, turning the pages of my life." He then walked over to some of the remaining mammals. "Walking a path so many paced a million times. Drowning the voices in the air, leaving the ones that never cared. Picking the pieces up and building to the sky-y-y. " He then crouched down and said calmly quieter than the rest of what he said "My patience is waning, Is this entertaining? My patience is waning."He then stood up and shouted loudly "Is this entertaining?" He returned to the middle where only one mammal remained standing that wasn't his bunny friend. "I-I-I got this feeling, yeah , you know. Where I'm losing all control, because there's magic in my bones. I-I-I got this feeling in my soul, go ahead and throw your stones, cause there's magic in my bones. There goes my mind . Don't mind. There goes my mi-ind."He paused for a second and started to fight the weasel. He sucker punched the weasel in the stomach. "There goes my mind. Don't mind. There goes my mi-ind . Cause there's magic in my bones." As the song ended he knocked the weasel out.

Nick was now a little annoyed but he crouched down and hugged Judy "You okay, Carrots?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Am I talking to Nick?" She whispered in response.

"Yeah, I think so. I'm sorry, it's because of me they want you."

"It's my choice and if someone can keep me safe it's you."

"Bold words. Hopefully it's true. One last song, no theatrics with this one." He smiled. "Go back to them and enjoy it."

(A/N: older song this one but I feel it demonstrates what Nick is feeling with his alterego.)

A regular thump kept beating then a sombre guitar tune started playing for a few seconds then Nick started. "Listen to the wind blow, Watch the sun rise." he sighed "Run in the shadows, damn your love , damn your lies." He clearly felt something with this song, it meant something to him so he decided to treat it seriously. "And if you don't love me now, you will never love me again, I can still hear you saying you will never break the chain." He sighed again "And if you don't love me now, you will never love me again, I can still hear you saying you will never break the chain." There was a short break "Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night , Running in the shadows, damn your love damn your lies. Break the silence, damn the dark , damn the light." He tried to straighten up as he was feeling the song more and more "And if you don't love me now, you will never love me again, I can still hear you saying you will never break the chain. And if you don't love me now, you will never love me again, I can still hear you saying you will never break the chain. And if you don't love me now, you will never love me again, I can still hear you saying you will never break the chain." There was another pause in the lyrics as the fox clutched his chest. "The chaaaain keeps us together, running in the chaaaain keeps us together, running in the chaaaain keeps us together, running in the chaaaain keeps us together, running in the chaaaain keeps us together, running in the chaaaain keeps us together, running in the shadows." Each time he said it it was progressively quieter and quieter. Then the music stopped as he went silent. Everyone stayed quiet , understanding what the song meant to the fox roughly. Most of all Judy understood the song and its meaning to the singing vulpine. Nick put the microphone back.

"Thank you for listening and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your night." He looked at the unconscious body of the wolf next to him and recognised it.'Son of a bitch, of course you wanted the money.' He tried to not scowl visibly but it was a fool's errand. However, he knew where to go tomorrow afternoon. He returned to the table , where he was sitting before.

"That was beautifully sung, all of them." The vixen started. The striped rabbit nodded in agreement

Nick chuckled, "You heard the second one?"

"Well, it was difficult to listen in the middle of a fight but yes. Speaking of which, where did you learn to fight like that."

"A bit of judo, a bit of capoeira , a bit of boxing and a bit of pop-culture. Meshed the four together."

"Interesting." Jack stated, drawing the word out. The four had another drink and a couple shots, but the night was ruined and no-one could deny that fact. They all had a laugh and a good time Judy now struggled to talk properly.

"I think it is time to return home for us. Do you know where she lives?" Both of them shook their heads.

"Nnno , I-I caaan stay."

"Carrots, listen to yourself. No you can't. I'll bring her to my place and sleep on the couch."

"Nnno,I'll sleep ooon the ccouuuuch." Nick just chuckled and shook his head.

He started heading out and returning home. Once outside he spoke again. "You know those two aren't business mammals right? I'm surprised they didn't do anything to me. Honestly. "

"Hmmmm" Judy mumbled out then hiccuped.

Nick chuckled, "You are so cute like this, and yeah they are ZIA agents. Jack is actually called Darren Jumper and Skye is actually named Lilly Snow. They are interesting characters, pretty sure they are a couple as well, but that's not my problem."

"Mmmm, wwwhat about the fiiiight, that was fun."

"Oh yeah, I'm gonna visit an old friend tomorrow, if you're good wanna come?" Nick felt the rabbit nod her head in his shoulder. "Glad to hear it , but wanna get a bit dirty?"

Judy sobered up a bit when she heard that and tried to push out of the fox's grasp. "Wait, wait, what do you mean 'get dirty'?"

"Well, it ain't a job but a questioning. I know who led the attack against you."

"Me?"

"Yeah , you have to remember , you are the only mammal alive apart from two other mammals that are alive that know the connection."

"Oh, right." Judy felt a bit silly. Nick rubbed the top of her head, making sure to avoid her ears. "lets just go sleep."

"I agree, carrots, I agree."

A/N: I just really wanted to crank out these parts and get to the murdery parts. Remember about the little game of guess the song.

Nick and Judy had a bit of together time here and I think it is natural but eh?

Jack and Skye made a return, thought I forgot about them didn't you? Well, guess what, I did.

I swear I will work on the other story now. I swear.

With all that said, Goodbye and have a good one. Until next time, see ya guys.
