Nick woke up the next morning without the warmth of Judy beside him. Making his way down the stairs he was surprised to be alone. Only him in the house. Strange... Walking into the kitchen, Nick found a note left out on the table, It was in Judy's handwriting

Nick,

I've gone to the Village Fair with my family. We need to talk x

Judy


"Judy! Do you want to come on this ride with me?" Alice bounced up and down

"Maybe later. Why don't you play with Tina?" Judy smiled sympathetically, her eyes looking for Nick. I should apologize. It wasn't his fault. I need to see him. We are-

"Well look who it is..." Someone said from behind her. Judy recognized it from somewhere... But where? Turning around, Judy saw a cream rabbit with dark brown patches around his eyes and mouth...

"It can't be..." Judy uttered

"Are you sure you remember me? The star police officer of Zootopia" He winked. It was the wink, she knew it anywhere

"Gus?!" Judy jumped up, hugging Gus

"You've forgotten our nicknames?" Gus grinned

"Forgotten them?! Don't be silly!... Gudo" Judy couldn't stop smiling

"Judo" Gus tipped his straw hat then hooked his fingers under his dungarees "Well I'll be darned, who knew Judo would come back here?" Gus tilted his head to the side

"They forced me" Judy joked "What happened there?" Judy pointed to a large scar running over Gus' left eye

"Oh, some guys came into the shop and tried to take something. I stopped them, just got a little hurt in the process" Gus laughed awkwardly, seeing Judy's face drop "It's probably nothing compared to the drama of the city" Gus scratched the back of his neck

"That's terrible... Why didn't anyone tell me?" Judy is unsure what to do

"Hey, it was ages ago... Uh- tell me what Zootopia's like!" Gus scratches his chin


After asking multiple terrified bunnies, Nick found the fair. He felt out of his depth among the balloons and bright colors. Seeing Stu he walks up happily

"Um- Stu, do you know where Judy is?" Nick forced a smile when Stu's eyes narrowed slightly

"No" Stu says bluntly

"Well could you-" Stu turned around back to play Coconut Shy, Nick stood isolated

"Ha ha ha ha ha " Nick's acute hearing picks out Judy's laugh. Following his ear, Nick made his way to a giant barn where he saw Judy... And another rabbit. a rabbit with big broad shoulders and a muscular farming physique. Oh...
