Anyway! Back to the story!

XOXOX

A red car is over the parking limit this time and Nick was there to glare at it with annoyance. He harshly ripped off a ticket and stuck it to the car rather forcefully with his eyebrows furrowed. This isn't what he wanted. He hated parking duty. Nick stepped back from the car and stared at it for a moment. He then glared at it and reeled his foot back to kick its tire, then paused. He stayed in that position for a bit.

Nick dragged out a long sigh and brought his foot back down to the ground. He stared at the car and decided to memorize every detail of its appearance. Then suddenly he noticed a reflection on the window shield. He blinked at the reflection before turning around to see the small bunny from before pushing the same wagon which seemed to be filled with small strips of pie crust.

The fox raised a brow and turned to where the bunny came from to see Judy cutting up the large carrot pie into small strips with a sharp wooden plank. She grinned and placed her hands on her hip once she finished cutting up the pie and threw the plank down and pushed the left over tray somewhere else. She picked up the remaining pieces she cut up and walked toward a small pickup truck where she piled all the pieces in bags and threw them at the back.

Nick watched as she climbed into the car and shut the door and drove off with the small bunny sitting beside her. He narrowed his eyes as he watched them leave and turned back to where there was the tray before looking back at the leaving vehicle. "What is that dumb bunny up to…?" He mumbled but shook it off and went back to work.

XOXOX

Nick stuck yet another ticket on another car, a blue car this time with no top. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and stepped back. He then heard yet another ding from another parking meter. He turned around to put a ticket when he noticed Judy walk down sidewalk on the other side of the road, dragging a stall with wheels. He blinked and watched as she stopped right in front of a building.

He hummed with suspicion and rushed across the street and hid behind a car to get a better look. He peeked over the hood of the car to notice that the small stall was filled with bags full of those small strips of pie crust with sugar on top. They looked sort of delicious.

Suddenly, the large clock beside the stall and building rang loudly and immediately after, a line of small hamsters came pouring out of the building. Judy grinned happily and grabbed a paper bag full of her pie crusts and held it in the air. "Pie fries! Get your pie fries!"

The hamster who heard Judy turned his head around and lit up, and went to the direction of the stall. The hamsters who were walking behind him followed the lead hamster, causing a whole line of hamsters to go Judy's way.

Nick watched with narrowed eyes as Judy took a bag of pie fries and gave it to the hamster, who in return gave 2 dollar bills to her. The process went by pretty quick and the whole time, Judy had an excited grin on her face.

The hamsters passed Judy's stall, munching on the fries and then threw the paper bags into a recycling bin nearby once they were finished. After all the hamsters had threw their bags away, the side door of the recycling bin was kicked open to reveal Judy's younger sister with a grin on her own face. She dragged out the small bins inside the recycling bin that happened to be filled with empty paper bags and, with the help of Judy, she put them all into the back of the Ute.

Nick frowned as he watched them load the bins onto the truck. He pursed his lips and said, "That bunny…" He quickly went to follow their Ute.

XOXOX

"Welcome one, welcome all… to the puppet show!"

Nick watched with his jaw wide opened as he watched Judy and her sister sit behind a crate and hold their paper bagged covered hands up over the crate for the audience to see. The paper bags over their hands had faces drawn on them, with google eyes and strings of wool for hair. They used the puppets and played a performance for the young animals sitting in front of them with big grins.

The fox looked down and pinched the bridge of his nose, "what the hell is happening," He stated more than questioned under his breath, "dumb bunny…"

Then the puppet show ended, and the two bunnies ended up with a bunch of cash from the parents of the children that watched the show. Nick's jaw dropped once more. They got cash for playing a puppet show in front of some kids? The two bunnies then happened to sell the puppets to the children and gained even more cash. Nick was astonished and mad at the same time.

"Are these puppets paper bags?" One of the parents suddenly asked Judy with a suspicious gaze upon her.

Judy sweated slightly and nervously answered, "Paper bags? No, they're um… actual puppets."

Nick growled in annoyance.

XOXOX

"Good job, today, Fiona!" Judy praised and rubbed the top of her sister's head, "We won big!" She raised the stack of dollar bills in her hand and waved them around. Her sister grinned happily and clapped her hands together to express her happiness. Judy giggled and gave her sister a high five.

"What a dumb bunny you are…"

Judy froze and turned toward the familiar voice to spot Nick leaning on a brick wall, glaring at her, "I helped you get that pie and what do you do? Resell it! I bet you don't even have 274 other siblings." Nick hissed and stood up from his position, marching over to lean over Judy.

Judy grinned up at him and gave him a wave, "Hey, Officer Wilde! What's going on?"

Nick gritted his teeth, "You lied to me, Carrots." He said harshly.

Judy smirked slightly and tilted her head to the side, "It's called a hustle, sweetheart." She cooed and stared at Nick with a face that seemed to scream duh. She rested her hands on her hips, "And I didn't lie at all!"

"A hustle?" Nick scoffed and towered over Judy even more, "You are a dumb bunny aren't you?"

"I am not a dumb bunny." Judy exasperated and pursed her lips, "I actually do have 274 other siblings at home. They only ate the carrot inside the pie, so I had to get rid of the crust somehow."

Nick leaned down and raised a brow, "They ate the carrot but not the crust?" He inquired.

"Yes!"

Nick ogled at her for a moment and they stared at each other's eyes. Judy looked annoyed and seemed like she was telling the truth but Nick rolled his eyes and looked away, "Liar."

Judy growled in annoyance and stomped her foot onto the ground and exclaimed, "I am not!"

"Yes. Yes you are." Nick said. He didn't like this bunny any more. She tricked him into buying her something. She is definitely not cute anymore.

She sighed and rubbed her neck, "I don't have time for this. I need to take Fiona home." Judy reached over and grasped her sister's hand and dragged her down the sidewalk.

Nick raised a brow and followed the bunny down the street, "Not so fast, Carrots. You are under arrest." He hummed and watched as the bunny froze in surprise. Nick smirked.

Judy slowly turned around to face Nick with bugged eyes, "Under arrest?! I did nothing illegal!" She cried desperately.

The fox clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes before smirking down at the bunny, "You sold food without a permit and false advertised, Carrots."

The smaller mammal blinked at him for a moment before taking something out of her pocket and held it out for him to see. It was a card with a permit inside. "I do have a permit, fox!" She stuffed the permit back into her pocket, "And how did I false advertise? I did not false advertise!"

Nick narrowed his eyes, "You told those families that the paper bags were puppets, which they were obviously not." He replied, his tone dripping acid.

The two came across a zebra crossing and stood there until the light turned green. Judy turned towards Nick, "That's because they are puppets! It depends on how they use it. And how did we use it? As a puppet! So it's a puppet!" She answered.

The crossing turned green and the animals crossed the road. Nick followed Judy and her sister with an annoyed glare crossing his features. Judy smiled, "See? I did nothing wrong, Nick, I am innocent!"

"Do not call me Nick, Carrots. You have no right to say my actual name. It's Officer Wilde to you." Nick chided as the three squeezed through a group of large animals and made it to the other side of the road.

Judy pointed her nose in the air as her ears twitched, "You're an officer right? Then you can't call me Carrots!"

Nick raised a brow and glanced over toward her as they continued to walk down the street, "An officer can call anyone, anything." He responded.

"An officer, huh…" Judy trailed off, but suddenly paused which caused Nick to bump into her. He stepped back and glared at the back of her head, "Tell me when you're going to stop—"

"An officer?!" The bunny gasped, interrupting Nick's sentence as she turned around to look at him with wide eyes. "How did you become an officer?"

Nick raised a brow, "What?"

"You're a fox! How did a fox become an officer?" Judy questioned.

Nick stared at her for a moment, processing her words. Then the memories suddenly came washing back as Nick slowly widened his eyes. The pain he felt when he was rejected from each scout and all the doubt and insults thrown at him hit him like a rock. His chest filled with pain and he suddenly couldn't feel anything anymore. Nothing but pain. His ears dropped and he started to pant heavily as each memory picked at him. He didn't know where he was anymore. What he was doing. Why he was—

"Nick!"

He gasped and suddenly he was snapped back to reality. His eyes widened and he blinked as his eyes began to adjust. He looked down and slowly rubbed his head as he noticed the bunny from before staring up at him with surprisingly worried eyes, with the other bunny suddenly gone.

Nick stared at her for a moment before he glared harshly and brushed passed her, walking away. Judy blinked in surprised and turned around, "Nick?" When he didn't respond, Judy quickly caught up to him and looked at him with concerned, "Nick, are you alright?"

Said fox turned to her and glared at her rather harshly, "A fox, huh?" He stopped and Judy did the same as she noticed the emotions in Nick's eyes were pain and anger. Judy suddenly felt guilty. Did she trigger something? "You were surprised that I was an officer because I was a fox?" Nick asked slowly as Judy stared at him with wide eyes. "You think that a fox doesn't deserve to be an officer because he's a predator?" Judy continued to stare causing Nick to growl, "You think… that I would hurt the people around me?"

Judy then stuttered, "I—It's just that… foxes are said to be sly… and untrustworthy… I—I just thought—"

"Sly and untrustworthy?" Nick scoffed and took a step forward, "I may have been sly and untrustworthy at some point, but that is not who I am anymore. I got into the ZPD because I wasn't sly nor trustworthy. And you? You probably never got as far as I did because you thought you actually were a dumb bunny and that no one would ever accept you because you were too small and cute to be accepted in anything." He paused, "That sound about right?"

Judy stared at him for a moment, his words soaking in before she glared up at him, "I am not a dumb bunny. Even if I was, then you'd never be nothing more than a sly and untrustworthy fox!"

Nick seemed to be affected by what she said but he managed to glare at her, "I am not a sly and untrustworthy fox." He hissed lowly.

The bunny leaned back and pushed him to walk away, "You'll never be real cop!" She yelled over her shoulder and then paused. She slowly turned around, raising an eyebrow, "Basing your attitude from before, you'll be charming meter maid though." She shrugged and watched as Nick narrowed his eyes in annoyance. She slowly smiled and turned around, "Maybe a supervisor one day?" She then walked away and turned around a corner. "Hang in there!" She said lastly, before disappearing around the corner.

Nick stared at where she was and slowly looked down. Despite the heated argument the two animals had before, he couldn't help but wonder to when she had said he was charming, but then he suddenly felt bad for calling her a dumb bunny. He sighed and raised his paw to rub the back of his furry neck, "Wow." He said aloud and brought his hand back down to his side, "Why do I kind of feel bad?" He mumbled. He paused. "…If you don't want me calling you a dumb bunny then I'd have to go with 'cute bunny' instead." Nick suggested to himself as he shrugged and went back to slapping tickets on cars.

But little did he know, was that Judy stayed behind the corner and listened to everything Nick had just said with her sharp hearing the whole time. She couldn't help but slowly smile. "Dumb fox."
