Welcome everyone. been working on a new story and here is the results. I have been following some other stories and felt like doing one that is a bit different. Fair warning the story is a little slow to start but once it gets going theirs no stopping it.

I hope you enjoy my first Zootopia fiction. I plan on others down the road with more down to earth story lines.

Zootopia: Ghosts of you and me

Chapter: 1

A door opened to a loft apartment as a couple was led in by a tall female dun colored horse as she had the trademark dark strip down her neck below her mane. The couple walked over the windows facing Savannah Central looking out at the mid day sky that shown over the busy traffic below of the various species going about their business. The horse spoke up as she held a clip board. "Welcome to Savannah Deluxe Apartments, this one is a loft apartment 500 square feet. Bedroom is upstairs with bathroom and walk-in closet." She said as she walked around the apartment looking things over making sure everything was in order.

By the windows Judy couldn't get enough of the view as she hopped up and down excitedly as she punched Nick in arm. Nick winced a little rubbing his arm he guessed that in her excitement didn't realize how much power she put into that punch. He smiled softly as he could feel her exuberance radiating and filling the room even enticing a smile from the realtor. The horse spoke up again as she walked to join the young couple. "The pool, is available time and just need this key to access it." She said handing Nick the key as Judy was still moving about full of excitement. "Quite lively isn't she" commented the realtor as he took the keys in hand. "That's one of the things I love about her." he said with a half lidded gaze, with all his attention on Judy.

The realtor smiled looking at Nick seeing that love struck expression on his face. She had helped many young couples with finding their first home. This though was the first time she had a fox and rabbit couple. While she had seen other interspecies couples before, most of them were either both predator or both prey. She did remember a lion and horse couple once that she thought was a cute couple. Snapping herself out of her flashback she tried to get Judy's attention "Miss Hopps if you will I can continue the tour." It took a moment for Judy to calm down and blushing a little as she realized how carried away she had got. Then she hopped over to Nick hugging him around his mid section, "Sure, please lead on." She held onto Nick as he walked forward following the realtor. Upstairs was the one bedroom in the apartment and that had a half wall that overlooked the rest of the loft with the bathroom and closet on the opposite wall.

Judy let go of Nick long enough to look over the bed. The apartment they were looking over was fully furnished which did add to the monthly but they felt took some of the pain out of finding and moving in furniture themselves. She felt the bed catch her feeling like she was on clouds a squeal of excitement filled the room. "This is perfect Nick, I love it." She said to him as he stood by the realtor who towered over him. The realtor added in, "Also the apartment is in a prime location near to all the restaurants, entrainment and grocery stores." Judy's ears perked upon hearing her list off what was near by. "How about schools?" she asked catching Nick off guard. "Schools, carrots?" he asked wondering what she would ask about it.

She smiled and shrugged as she sat up on the bed. "I'm not expecting Nick, you can calm down." Nick calmed down a little hearing that, making the realtor wonder if she should leave the couple alone. "It's a passing thought, maybe down the line." Nick didn't calm down all the way though he tried to show a calm demeanor to Judy and the realtor. He wasn't fully sure if he'd be ready for children even if they could have their own. His outward calm didn't full Judy as she got up and gave him a hug. "Oh Nick look at you so nervous now, I assure you that your not a father just yet, but sometimes these thoughts pop into my head.." She drifted off a moment lost in thought before turning her gaze back to Nick. "Besides..." The small rabbit sat up and on the bed as she rested a paw on his shoulder. "I don't even think a rabbit and a fox could have children..."

Suddenly it hit her that couldn't have her own biological children. Seeing the look on her face Nick got up and gave her a close hug bringing her close to him as his scent flooded her senses easing her tension. She couldn't help but mellow out from that scent. "Its fine Judy, and it's for a lack of effort." It took a moment for Judy to remember the realtor was in the room making her blush and nudged him in the chest. "Naughty fox." She called him as she knew he was trying to lighten the mood. Rubbing the spot she nudged him he just reached out and rubbed her cheek. "Sexy bunny." He said with his trade mark smirk making her blush uncontrollably. "You really think so? ... Even though if I'm not a fox like Allison?" She asked shyly not wanting to ask but it nibbled at the back of her mind.

"Oh carrots, are you still on that?" he asked her as he focused on her looking into her amethyst eyes. "She may be a fox, but she's not the one I fell in love with" Leaning in he kissed her gently on the lips making her blush and smile as she spoke up low. "I love you nick." Wrapping his arms around her waist he nuzzled her against his cheek and looked into her velvet eyes. "I love you too Carrots." He said calling her by his little pet name for her making her blush as they had company with them. They pulled apart and noticing the realtor had backed away a little to give them some space.

"Sorry about that, we got distracted." The horse nodded as she readied the clip board. "Its understandable. To answer your question yes there is a school near by. Zootopia Elementary and Zootopia High School a short distance away." Judy nodded as she was handed the clip board. "Well we will take it." The realtor nodded as she discussed the details with the couple on payment details and finished up the last of the formalities.

Later that night the sun had set over the city of Zootopia as the street lights had come on lighting the streets below, and the many signs came to life. Nick had spent the last couple hours hauling the boxes containing their belongings up to the bedroom as Judy put things away and organized them in the closet. Music filled the room playing Gazelle's latest album. Judy sang along with the lyrics unaware Nick had came up with the last box and plopped it down catching her attention, turning to see Nick looking exhausted. "Thanks Nick for moving the boxes from the moving truck." She walked over to him guiding him to the bed and got up behind him rubbing his shoulders as the least she could do as he did the manual labor.

"You're so sweet Nick." Nick felt his body go limp a little from her attentions he felt so relaxed but still tired. "Anything for you carrots." He started to fall back as Judy moved back and let his head land in her lap as she crossed her legs under his head. She the pet his ears gently making Nick feel like was in heaven starring at an angel that would his girlfriend. A face he couldn't imagine his life without as he leaned up and gave her a peck on the lips. "We can pick up in the morning foxy." She called him a new nick name she came up with in the past few months. Nick had started to get used it and loved how she said it.

"That sounds like a good idea carrots." But Nick didn't even budge as she tried to get him to move so they could get ready for bed. "Foxy, you have to get up so you can get ready." She tried to push him but he gave passive resistance "I'm already in bed." he said with a tired voice. "Oh cheese and crackers." she said in frustration as she wiggled out from under him as she decided to leave him there for now as she jumped off the bed and went to dresser as some of their clothes were already stored away. She grabbed her nighty that was a pink and purple pattern of carrot shapes with a white background. Holding in her arm she went to the bathroom for her shower then to change.

Nick lay there a while longer till he heard the shower begin to run as he grinned softly at an idea that popped in his mind as he got up from the bed. He sneaked into the bathroom stripping off his clothing as he made his way to the door and being as sneaky as he could he managed to get in without making any noise. Trying to do anything without Judy hearing was nearly impossible for him but this time the shower added to distraction giving him a little more edge to his sneaking. But then he stopped in his tracks as the shower curtain opened up halfway and before was his rabbit girlfriend peeking halfway from the curtain trying no to get water splash too much out of the shower. He sighed "What gave me away this time?" he asked as he gave a defeated look, she gave him a smug look.

"Well I'll give you points for getting in without a sound, but I saw your shadow on the curtain." she said as she looked him over noticing the lack of clothing. "I see, just needed a little motivation" she teased him enjoying the sight before her a short while before she just nodded at him to join so they could wash up and go to bed, that is if Nick could control himself. Nick stepped into the shower with Judy and they each helped each other wash their fur and as much as Nick wanted to have fun his muscles ached too much for him. The rest of the night went on without much incident as they both settled in for the night as the room was littered with boxes from filled to empty. They told each other they would finish up tomorrow after work.

The alarm buzzed loudly causing the ears of the occupants of the bed to twitch uncomfortably as Judy was the first to get up rubbing the sleep from her eyes as she nudged Nick who was still sleeping. "Come on Nick." she nudged him again making groan. "Mmmm 5 more minutes." he said very sleepily making Judy roll her eyes as she crawled on the bed around him nudging him some more but not having much luck. Thinking back to a few months after they started dating she recalled when they were at his apartment watching the latest episode of CSI: Zootopia. The show had ended and Judy wanted to check one of the other channels for some other shows she likes, but Nick decided to play playful and keep the remote out of her reach. Trying in vain she tried to reach but couldn't then she would jump around but then he would switch it to his other paw. Suddenly in her last attempt her paw that held her up on his shoulder slipped and rubbed along a sensitive spot on his mid section causing him to laugh.

Getting a gleam in her eye she used it to her advantage to get the remote and proceeded to tickle the spot she discovered making Nick hunch forward laughing trying to stop her with his free hand with no success. "St...sto..." he couldn't form the complete word as he tried to plead with his rabbit girlfriend. "st ... st ..sto.." he tried to say again but still couldn't then when he couldn't take it any longer he let go of the remote to use both paws to keep her from tickling him. Noticing the remote drop from his hand she jumped like a blur and did a flip over nick catching the remote then stood triumphantly "Ha ha, I have the claimed the prize" Recovering from the tickle attack and catching his breath he looked up seeing her proud of herself.

He jumped at her but she was too quick and dodged using the skills she had developed during her time at the police academy. "I'm too fast for ya." she boasted over Nick "Yeah you bested me alright." Not noticing that she was standing on a blanket they had laid on the sofa to added to give it some color and comfort. Sneakily as he could Nick grabbed hold of part of the blanket. "And that's a blanket" She looked down in time to see it pulled from under her feet and he swooped in and caught Judy in one fell swoop not caring about the remote that crashed to the ground a foot away just keeping his gaze on her making her blush and kisses her tenderly on the lips.

Judy shook her head bringing her back to the present that day sensing that thought got away from her and went on remembering how the night went for her and Nick making her blush under her fur at the thought. Bushing her face softly trying to awaken her senses she noticed his stomach was in reach and used her paw to get at his sensitive spot tickling him awake. In a flash he was up and alert as she tickled him making him gasp and laugh as he tried to get her off him. "Alight, alright. I'm up, I'm up." he cried out between breathes as he slipped off the bed trying to get away from the tickling. Judy crawled over looking at him with that proud smile of hers that he loved so much. "No get dressed foxy we have to get to roll call by 6 and its 5 right now. Nick sighed as he realized he couldn't fight it any longer and would have to get dressed for work.
