Hello everyone! I have been reading and admiring fanfiction for years, and finally decided to try my hand at it. Zootopia really inspired, so here is my first fanfic revolving around our favorite duo.

I do not own Zootopia, yadda yadda.

The door slammed, making Judy's sensitive ears flinch. She watched as chief Bogo marched into the room with a stack of papers , wearing an un-amused expression.

"Alright, listen up!" he barked.

Judy glanced around the room as the officers began to settle down and listen to the chief. Nick Wilde was sitting besides her looking like his always smug self. They shared a chair like usual, a tradition that started two years ago when he had officially become her partner. She wasn't sure why he always insisted on sharing rather then saddling up in the seat next to her, but she wasn't complaining. It made her happy that they were so comfortable with one another, like something as simple as sharing a chair showed the world how strong of a unit they had become.

And strong was an understatement. In just two years they had moved up to the ranks to detectives, no longer piddling around the streets to give parking tickets, but being responsible for major undercover stings. Between their small stature, combined intelligence, Nick's ability to smooth talk and Judy's in with Mr. Big and his family, they were able to solve and uncover anything thrown at them. It seemed predator and pray made the perfect match.

'The perfect match…' Judy thought in her head. 'If only that meant mate….' She sighed at the thought. It was true, over the past two years she had undoubtedly developed feelings for the cunning fox. As much as he drove her crazy there was something about him she couldn't help but find attractive. Maybe it was those half lidded eyes, or the way he called her 'Carrots.' Or maybe how he had become her best friend, and the most important person in her life. He was always there for her, ready to listen, and sometimes to make a joke at her expense, but no matter what they were doing something about just being near him felt so right.

But regardless of those feelings, he was still a fox and she was a bunny. Mating for them was next to impossible. Sure SOME interspecies relationships existed, but they weren't very accepted even in Zootopia, and they never occurred between predator and prey. Besides, she was a bunny, and naturally she wanted to have kids some day. It could never work.

She sighed again.

"HOPS!" chief Bogo yelled, as he slammed a hoof onto her desk. Judy jumped out of her chair, half knocking Nick over on the way. She gathered herself and stuttered up at her boss "um! Uh! Yes? Chief Bogo…? Eh-heh…Sir!"

"FOCUS HOPS! This is a VERY important." Judy looked around the room and realized Bogo, Nick and herself were all that remained. Everyone else must have been given their assignments while she had her head in the clouds. Ugh she could be such a dumb bunny sometimes…

"You okay there Carrots?" Nick looked at her genuinely concerned, but with a hint of a smile tugging at his lips, just ready to crack a joke soon as he knew she was alright.

She tried to control her blush. "Yes! I just…um…didn't sleep that well last night is all… Sorry Chief Bogo." She straightened. "Continue."

" It seems we have a unique case here detectives. A strange occurance here in Zootopia. Scientist Dr K. Skunk had been working on project involving the theory of parallel universes."

"What? Like other worlds?" asked Judy.

"Precisely Hopps. Skunk believed many other worlds exist besides our own, and had been working on a machine that could rip through the time continuum and allow passage to those said worlds."

"Sorry chief." Nick interrupted, "But, this sounds like a load of crap. I mean other worlds? You can't honestly believe this."

"Let's keep track, shall we WILDE! I certainly didn't believe a BUNNY" he turned and stared at Judy, "could be one of my top officers. I certainly didn't believe PREDATOR and PREY could be the perfect team!" Judy and Nick stole a glance at one another. "And I definitely didn't believe assistant mayor Bellwhether was an evil mastermind!" He slammed the papers on the desk in front of Judy and Nick. "So looks like with my current track record, anything really IS possible in Zootopia!" he yelled with dripping sarcasm "Now… NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS!"

Judy and Nick nodded.

"It seems Dr. Skunk really was onto something. He successfully created a machine that, whether intentional or not, ripped a hole in our world and made an entrance into another. Now Dr. Skunk is missing, we have no knowledge of how to close the hole, or what kind of creatures may lay on the other side that could potentially find their way here and destroy Zootopia for good!"

Nick whistled. "Dramatic Chief."

"I am serious Wilde! Now I need you two to gear up, enter that portal, find Dr. Skunk, and bring him back so we can sew up this mess and keep Zootopia safe."

"Wait! You want us to enter another WORLD!? But you said yourself you don't even know what's on the other side! What if it's a world of water and we drown? Or of fire and we burn?!" Judy was slightly panicking. She was always prepared, could learn any move and tactic to win in most police situations, but had no way of preparing for something of this caliber.

"Relax rabbit, we sent machines ahead and monitored to make sure it was safe. I wouldn't sacrifice my best detectives on the first go! What kind of chief do you think I am?!" Nick snickered and Bogo sneered at him then continued. "The world seems fairly similar to ours. There's cities and towns, water, food and breathable air. The only difference is animals are not the dominant species."

"What's the dominant species?" Judy asked in wonder, her eyes going wide.

"They call them 'humans.' Animals exist there too, but not like us. There are wild and uneducated, the way we were when we were primal thousands of years ago."

Judy and Nick just shared a silent glance, both trying to read the other's thoughts on this entire situation.

"So you'll be undercover. You can't act like you're evolved. Just try to blend in. Now…go home and pack your things. You two have quite and adventure in store for you. Zootopia is depending on it."

"Gosh, can you believe this!?" Nick was ranting all the way home. "I don't like this Judes…not one bit." His paws were tightly fisted and his smug appearance was nowhere to be found.

"I know it's scary to venture into a completely new territory…but maybe it will be great! I like trying new things." She smiled as her brain ran through all the possible things that could lay on the other side of that portal. Oh my gosh! What if there's UNICORNS!

Nick stopped and stared at her. He took a moment to observe her closely. He could tell she was daydreaming and he was in awe that she could always be so brave and adventurous. He on the other hand was a total coward, masked by smug jokes and hustles to get on top in the world. Never did he possess the pure bravery and determination that she did. Which is why she would obviously never be interested in him. Sure he'd make an occasional butt joke, and tell her she's cute mostly just to watch her nose twitch and yell at him for it, man she was cute when she was mad. But he could never pursue her. They were born from two totally different worlds, predator and prey, and although his evolved emotions overrode any primal instincts, it could still never work. No matter how much he wished it.

"What if I can't keep you safe?" he blurted out, not realizing he said it until it already left his mouth. Ugh he wanted to slap himself for so obviously caring. Judy snapped out of her daydream and turned to him with a confused look.

"What?"

"Well I mean…You're already pretty small and helpless in this world Carrots. " He mentally slapped himself. There you go, fucking it up as usual you cowardly fox " You probably won't even have a chance where we're about to go." His eyelids slipped down and he gave her a gentle shove as he walked past her.

"Hey! I am NOT helpless! I've taken out RHINOS!" She crossed her arm and her foot quickly tapped as she waited for his response. But Nick just kept leisurely walking ahead. "UGH!" she stomped. "I will be just fine thank you very much!" She stormed past him, took a right at the next block and hurried into her apartment. He slightly laughed as he admired her in her angry state, and felt like a complete dirt ball for using her anger to get a good view of her rear. It was better then getting all touchy feely. It's not like they could ever be anything more then friends anyway.
