Judy sat there half a sleep at her desk, staring at her paper work. She had spent the last two hours filling out paper work of two drunk rhino's that decided to get in a bar fight and make a cumulation of damage to the bar they were inside. And where was Nick?

"'I'll be back in a moment' he said.'" she quoted under her breath. "'Gonna get donuts and coffee,' he said. Doesn't take that long." she stated irritably. "He did this on purpose! Left me here to do all the paper work. Stupid fox." She leaned away from the desk and folded her arms across her chest. A part of her was worried that something had happened to him but she knew better. He left so he wouldn't have to do any of the paper work. He loved catching the crooks but when it came to paper work, he was a pain in the ass. And to top it off, she really was craving an apple fritter. Hyped her self up over it, and now here she was, struggling to keep her eyes open. Maybe if she just closed her eyes for a moment, it would be alright. It would be just fine.

Judy closed her eyes, and they burnt for a moment as they began to rest. A heavy weight sat on her, and she felt her self drift away, but she wasn't to go too far.

"Boo!"

Judy jumped about ten feet in the air, her fur sticking up from her body. Her heart thumped a million miles per hour and felt as though it would burst. Her eyes were huge, purple gleaming with fear and surprise.

"HAHAHA! You should have seen you face! Your whole reaction was priceless!"

Judy looked over at Nick, the look of surprise still on her face, till it suddenly turned into a deep sinister glare. Nick didn't notice at first, as he was too busy laughing, but then as he looked at her, his laugh ecame nervous and he began to cough before looking sheepishly at her.

"What?" he said.

"WHAT?! What he says. What?!"

Nick was too afraid to answer.

"Nick you are such a jerk! You left me here all this time on purpose just so you wouldn't have to do the paper work!"

"Well yes, I thought you would have figured that out a while ago."

"Did you even get me the donuts I asked for?"

"Yes." he said nonchalantly. "but then I ate it waiting for you to call me. Nice to know you weren't worried."

"Yeah, like this hasn't been the first time you bailed on paperwork." she stated, her arms crossed over her chest, a foot thumping rapidly with inpatients. Nick stared down at her, her bunny nose wiggling, her eyes fixated at him with a glare. Those big purple eyes. Her big ears drawn down. He had to fight a smile.

"Fine fine Carrots, you win. Next time I do all the paper work while you go fetch the donuts and coffee."

"Right. Heard that one before."

Judy sighed and sat down at the desk to finish up. Nick could tell she was exhausted but from what? There hadn't been much going on lately."

"Hey Carrots, you ok?"

"Peachy." she said without even attempting a smile.

"Come on. What is it? You look like you haven't slept."

"I'm fine!" she snapped and Nick looked at her as though she just slapped him.

Judy looked over at him, and he looked away from her to stare at the ground. She sighed.

"I'm sorry Nick. It's just I haven't been getting much sleep. My bed isn't very comfortable and to top that off, my neighbors are very loud. It's like trying not to hear someone screaming behind a piece of paper."

"Oh." he said, looking back up at her. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"I don't know. Doesn't matter much."

"Of course it does. How can this great city of Zootopia ever survive without it's fearless and why to optimistic bunny?"

Judy laughed, which made Nick smile. "Oh you're just saying that."

"No, I mean it."

"Right." Judy laughed again, then turned to her paper work.

"Well, Why don't you head home and I will finish this up for you." offered Nick with a smile.

"What? Really?" she looked at him desperately.

"Yeah. It's only fare."

Judy looked down at the papers again.

"What's it matter. I won't get much sleep anyway." she mumbled to him and continued writing down where she left off. Nick sat across from her in his usual spot on the opposite side of the desk. He had his own desk to write on, but he preferred interfering with his partners work. Entertained him during the boring parts of the day.

"Well, on a brighter side of the night." he exclaimed, folding his arms on the desk to rest his chin on. "I scared you pretty good."

Judy stopped for a moment, looked at him like he was a child, then went back to his work. "Oh please. I was half asleep. Anyone could have done it."

"Not helping you case there Hopps. Poor meek little thing that you are."

"Excuse me?!" she said angrily and she stood up on her desk, and leaned into Nick's face. "I can be scary if I want to be. I can be way scarier than you!"

"Oh really?" he said, smiling up at her. She's so cute.

"Yes I can!"

"Then prove it."

"Huh?" she said, looking at him dumbfounded.

"The ZPD's annual Halloween bash is coming up next week where they, as you know, have their scare competition. Who ever wears the scariest costume and can scare chief Bogo wins."

"But no ones ever won that."

"Come on Carrots. You are telling me that the bunny that took down Zootopia's most criminal mastermind, with the help of me of course, can't scare one little buffalo?" he teased.

"Little?" Judy looked at him, that stupid grin spread across his face. Like he knew she would say yes. Fine. He wanted to play a stupid game, then she would play that stupid game right back! "Alright. I'm in." she said with a grin. "But loser get's to do the paper work by HIMSELF for two months!"

Nick pondered this for a moment, then smiled at her.

"Do we have a deal?" she asked with a grin of her own.

"We have a deal."

"Good. Now I am going home. You can finish the paper work." and she jumped from the desk onto the floor, keeping her back to him as she walked off.

"Wait! You can't leave!"
"Might as well get used to it fox!"

'Sly bunny' he thought to himself.

'Stupid fox.' and she smiled as she walked out the door.
