Welcome to Klown's Korner. Buckle up.

Chapter 1

Hours passed while Judy drove back to the city, accompanied by Nick, who had fallen asleep despite the numerous cups of coffee he'd drank and then tossed in the floorboard.

On such long roads as these, Judy found it hard to remain vigilant. Nick's obnoxious snoring had turned into white noise from the passenger seat in their patrol car, and had caused her mind to wander into the rolling hills around them.

She looked out the window to her left, taking in the vibrant green that covered the landscape, and enjoying the time she spent outside of the concrete city. A faint smile rose on her lips at the scenery, and she rolled the window down slightly to breathe in the fresh country air.

A flash of red caught her attention from the corner of her eye, and she turned to see Nick shift in his sleep to face her, and rest his head upon the armrest between them. He opened his jaws wide in a yawn, exposing the sharp teeth Judy used to fear seeing.

Used to fear seeing. They'd gotten to know eachother so well over the years, she didn't fear a single thing about him like she had before. Even when they fought, she always knew he wouldn't do anything to harm her.

Her gaze shifted to his ruffled fur, almost unconsciously. It rustled gently from the wind coming through her open window, causing faint waves of orange to run across his head.

Judy's smile widened while she admired him. He looked really attractive with his fur ruffled.

Then again, Judy couldn't recall a time he wasn't attractive to her.

BRRRRRRRRRT!

A violent snap back into reality was met with a frantic swerve back on to the highway, followed by Nick's panicked waking.

"What's going on!?" He burst out in alarm, his fur standing on end.

"Sorry Nick, It's just such a long drive. I'm getting pretty tired." Judy replied, embarrassed that she'd swerved off of the road while gazing at him.

"I can see that..." Nick replied sarcastically, "Just try not to kill us, if that's not too much to ask."

"I'll try my best..." Judy replied bitterly, her ears falling at his harsh tone.

Nick sighed heavily, immediately regretting snapping at her. He hadn't meant his words to come out so harshly, and he hated when Judy was upset.

He reached over the armrest, and placed his paw on her shoulder, "Sorry...I uh... didn't mean to snap at you..."

"It's alright." Judy patted his paw, her irritation fading at his quick apology.

Glad that he had been forgiven, Nick pulled out his phone to check the time, and realized how hungry he was.

"Hey can we stop an eat?" Nick asked, hoping that Judy would be willing to stop for him, "I'm literally starving to death over here."

"Nick, you know we're on a timeline. We have two hours left to drive, and only thirty minutes extra to get this report in." Frustration crept into her voice, and she released a heated puff of air, her irritation rising again, "You'll have to wait till we get back to the station."

She didn't mean to be harsh, but this was all due to Nicks infamous procrastination in the first place. If he'd done what she asked and did this report like she'd been reminding him to for weeks, they wouldn't be in such a rush, nor would they be facing disciplinary action.

A soft whine perked her ear, and forced her thoughts to shift to Nick.

"No." She firmly stated. She couldn't look. She knew those puppy dog eyes all too well; how powerful they were, those deep emerald pools of persuasion.

Her foot began to tap rapidly on the seat, until a soft paw caressed the length of her ear.

"Nick!" Her surprised outburst was met with a mischievous giggle, and she glared at her partner.

"Come on, Judes, don't we have just a little time?" He regained his puppy composure, hoping to catch the soft violet rays that were her eyes.

A glance towards Nick found her eyes lost within his. She couldn't bring herself to disappoint him, even if she were upset...

"Fine." She replied with an exasperated sigh, and a broad grin formed in Nick's face.

He calmly rested himself back in his seat, feeling relieved that he'd be able to fill his aching stomach, "Thanks, Carrots."

"Mmmmhm." Judy replied, not wanting to start a fight by telling him how she felt.

However, that wouldn't stop her from telling him later when they weren't trapped in a car together.

After a few minutes of silent driving, Judy took the next exit towards a small diner, and parked their patrol car near the front.

Practically drooling at the scent of food, and pleased he'd gotten his way, Nick briskly made his way into the diner while Judy followed, much less excited, and much more frustrated.

As they sat down with their food, Nick took notice of Judy's somber mood. Why was she being so moody? He thought silently, trying to catch a hint in her gorgeous purple eyes. He could always tell what she was thinking when she stared at him, but right now it seemed she refused to look at him.

Maybe he just needed to try and cheer her up.

"What's the matter, Cottontail? Fox got your tongue?" He said with playful grin, before taking a large bite out of his sandwich.

"Ugh, you're so insufferable sometimes!" She replied, visibly annoyed, "I'm going to the car."

"Judes, wait!" Nick managed before Judy had stormed out the door.

His ears fell flat when she ignored his call, and he frowned while he watched her through the diner's windows. He hadn't meant to get her so angry at him...

Nick shook his head slowly, his appetite ruined by the guilt that took hold of his stomach.

"Dumb bunny..."

Hurriedly, he wrapped up his and her food, and chased after his friend.

Okay so I'm just gonna gradually start to fix the earlier chapters when I get bored, instead of taking time out of writing my new chapters. How's that? :)

And welcome to those of you that are newcomers! Bear with my early chapters, I was incredibly inexperienced at that point, and I haven't fixed all of them yet.

Cause if you do, you'll be in for a nice ride 👌
