Summertime. If there are two things about it, it's this. The warmth of the sun and Summer vacation. All the kids who had to deal with schoolwork were free for 2 to 3 months. This included all the ones that lived in the big city, Zootopia.

Zootopia. One of the biggest cities in the world. The city where anyone can be anything. The city was the same as always. Mammals, both prey and predators, going here and there and everywhere. Always busy. Always in a rush. Nothing different. Well, some things were different.

In a house in Downtown Zootopia was the home of a happy family of foxes known as the Wildes. The building also used to be where the tailor shop, Wilde and Son, was. Expect now, the shop was no longer part of the building. Now it was just a regular home. But still the home of the foxes. Including a 13-year-old boy fox, who was preparing for a special day.

In the boy's room were a bunch of comics, figurines of actions heroes, and a bunch of picture frames with photos of two kits happy together. A boy fox and a girl bunny. The two seem to have a good friendship to have so many pictures. The fox then walked to his radio, put a CD in it, and it played a rock song. The song was from the famous punk-rock group, Green Hay - Waiting. (I think you all know the actual group's name.)

As the song played, the boy fixed himself up. The boy brushed his tail, put on a green and white short-sleeve flannel shirt over a white t-shirt with an orange paw on it. He also had some blue jeans on. The only thing he needed to do left was brushing his head a bit. A bit of his fur stuck out in the front, but that was the style he liked at his age. After looking at himself in the mirror, he liked what he saw and gave out a big and happy grin.

"Alright, Nicky! Today's the big day." The fox said to his reflection. "You got this."

This fox boy was infamous Nick Wilde. Still young, as well as very smart, cunning, sly at times, and trustworthy. Those traits were multiplied by his age. Nick has also got a bit taller too. He was now taller than an average rabbit.

It's been four years since the time Nick first met Judy. Ever since meeting her, Nick's life has been nothing but positive. Today was a very important day for Nick. As he brushes off his shirt, he walked out his room.

Downstairs in the dining room was Nick's mother, Francine Wilde. She also went by Frankie to her friends and husband. With her were two little baby foxes. A baby tod and a baby vixen. The boy baby had dark orange fur and was in a blue onesie with stars on it, while the girl baby had light orange fur and was wearing a pink onesie with white flowers on it. The two were sitting in boosters chairs as Frankie was trying to feed them.

"Come on Toddy, here comes the airplane." Frankie said as before imitating an airplane in hopes that the baby boy would eat the baby food.

The baby tod wasn't opening his mouth. Clearly, he wasn't willing to eat it.

"*sigh* You're more difficult than your sister, Vicky." Frankie stated.

At that moment, Nick came into the room.

"Hey, mom." Nick said greeting his mother.

"Oh look, you two. Your big brother is here." Frankie said to the two babies.

"Bubba! Bubba!" The two babies said excitedly as they reached out to Nick.

"Hey, you two." Nick said waving at the two babies.

"Nick, maybe you can get Todd to eat." Frankie asked Nick.

"You were doing the airplane, mom. Vicky's favorite is the airplane while Toddy's favorite is the choo-choo train." Nick stated. Nick then takes the spoon from his mom and tries to feed Todd himself. "Okay, Toddy. Here's come the train riding all the way to flavor station. Toot-Toot!" Nick said imitating a train.

This time, Todd actually opened his mouth and at the food this time.

"Good boy." Nick said with a smile and patting Todd on the head.

"You're sure a good big brother, Nicky." Frankie said with a smile.

"What did you expect?" Nick said proudly.

If one hasn't figured it out yet, these two baby foxes happen to be Nick's baby brother and baby sister. The twins, Todrick And Victoria Wilde. To get a better understanding of them and what the heck happened, let's go back to about 2 years ago.

One night, sleep in their bed, was John, Nick's dad, and Frankie. Well, Frankie was sleeping. John was wide awake, looking up at the ceiling. He then looked at his wife, who had her backed turn.

"Say... Frankie?" John said hoping that she would wake up.

"Ugghhhh..." Frankie said in discontent. "Whatever it is, it can wait until morning."

"Actually... this one can't." John said. "You don't have to say much. Just listen." John then started to sound really sincere. "We'll be opening up the new shop in a few months. Pretty soon, we won't need the old one anymore. I'm also thinking about changing the name from Wilde and Son's Suitopia to Wilde and Family's Suitopia."

"Uh huh..." Frankie said as if she wasn't listening.

"Also, when the new store opens, it means that there will be a lot more room for the house. Since we are gonna be able to expand our household, I also thought it would be a good time to... expand our family as well." John stated.

That last sentence made Frankie open her eyes up and was more awake now. She then turned around to face John.

"Johnny... what are you saying?" Frankie asked her husband.

"I'm saying that... maybe it's time we try to have another baby." John said as he holds one of Frankie's paws.

"Do you really mean that?" Frankie asked as she gets up.

"I do." John answered with a smile. "I know we stopped for a while, but I think it would be great to have another little one around. As well as let Nick have a little brother or sister. That is... if it's okay with you?"

"Oh, Johnathan. I'm so happy to hear you say that." Frankie said smiling.

This was the moment that John and Frankie decided to have another kid. Or at least that what it seemed like.

"Soooooo... shall we get started?" John asked with a grin as he gets closer to his wife. But then, Frankie slightly pushed him away for some reason.

"Heh heh..." Frankie laughed as she started to have an awkward smile on her face. "Uhhhhh... Johnny?"

"Yes?" John said as he raised an eyebrow.

"There's uhhh... something you should know." Frankie said to John.

"Frankie, the last time you acted like this was when you..." John said. He then froze when he figured out why Frankie was acting weird. "No?"

"A few weeks ago, I was feeling a bit sick. So... I got a little... something and I found out why." Frankie told her.

"Frankie, what are telling me?" John asked as his eyes widened.

Frankie then went to the drawer by her side of the bed and started digging for something.

"I took 5 of these. They all said the same thing." Frankie said as she handed John something white. A pregnancy test.

"Is this an..." John asked.

"Uh huh." Frankie said.

John looked at the pregnancy test and saw it had a plus sign on it.

"This says positive." John said as he held the test.

"Surprise! Heh heh..." Frankie said awkwardly smiling.

Frankie was already pregnant. She just waited until now to tell John. Yet John didn't seem shocked. He seemed happy. Very happy.

"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh!" John said happily. He then hugged Frankie tightly. "We're gonna have another baby?"

"We're gonna have another baby." Frankie said happily trying not to cry.

So with that, the Wildes were gonna have another child. To make sure that everyone was right with Frankie, her and John went to the hospital a week later for a check-up. The doctor was a male Zebra in a doctor's coat. As John and Frankie sat in chairs, the doctor told them what they needed to know.

"So doc, is everything okay with Frankie and the baby?" John asked the doctor.

"Do you know if we are having a boy or a girl?" Frankie asked.

"Well... it's too early to tell and give you a proper answer." The doctor said. "But we do know that they are nice and healthy. But we should still do some regular check-ups."

"Yeah. That seems fa..." John said before stopping for a second. Something that the doctor said caught his attention. The same for Frankie. "I'm sorry. Did you say 'they'?"

The doctor realized what he said and decided to be clearer.

"Uhhh... you see... when we were taking a quick scan of your wife's stomach, we found two separate heartbeats." The doctor stated.

Hearing that, John and Frankie then quickly looked at each other. John then looked back at the doctor.

"Two heartbeats? Our baby's gonna have two hearts?" John asked before chuckling awkwardly.

"Yes. And two heads, two sets of eyes, and two tails." The doctor said with a straight face. "Cause you're having twins."

The news was a bit of a shock for John and Frankie. Frankie covered her mouth in awe while John looked like he was struck by a lightning bolt.

"TWINS?!" John and Frankie said surprised.

"Uh huh." The doctor said. "No doubt about it."

"Oh my gosh! Twins!" Frankie said still sounding surprised, but also happy.

"T... t... twins?!" John said sounding a bit ill. "H... H... HOW?!"

"If you need to know how then I think someone didn't do well in Biology class." The doctor said to John.

John took the idea of having twins to be quite a shock.

"No no. I mean, HOW are we having twins? There rarely has ever been twins in any of our families." John stated.

"Actually, it's common for foxes to have litters as big as six to eight pups. So two is quite small in comparison." The doctor stated.

"ONE is small." John stated. "One is what we had the first time. Even with both our parents having more than one kid, we were still all born on different days."

"Johnny, take it easy." Frankie said trying to calm his husband down.

"Easy? We're gonna be having TWO babies. At... the... same... time." John said firmly.

"Jeez! If you are acting like this from only two babies, how would you react if I told you that we may have found three heartbeats and you are actually having triplets?" The doctor asked.

"WHAT?!" John and Frankie shouted out. Twins were one thing, but triplets?

"Kidding." The doctor said smiling. "Just a little doctor humor. Haha!"

John and Frankie didn't like the doctor's attempt at a joke. In fact, both foxes gave the doctor an angry glare.

"Ahem." The doctor said clearing his throat and looking awkward. "So... two babies foxes. Just two."

So that was when John and Frankie found out they were having twins. Now for the next thing. They have to tell Nick the news. But how would Nick take the news? Up until this moment, Nick has been their only child. Would Nick be okay with having two new siblings?

A few days later, Nick was playing video games in the living room. He was pretty focused on his game as he mashed the buttons on the controller. Behind him came John and Frankie.

"Nick, champ, there's something that your mom and I need to tell you." John said sounding a bit nervous.

"What is it?" Nick said not sounding too interested and still being focused on his game.

"Umm... to be frank, I'm pregnant." Frankie said looking worried.

Nick then immediately dropped his controller and turned his parents with wide eyes.

"WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Nick shouted out.

"Y... yes," Frankie said.

Nick quickly up and hugged his parents which was a bit of a surprise for the both of them.

"I'm gonna be a big brother. This is the best news ever!" Nick said happily. He then let go of his parents. "Oh my gosh! I gotta go tell everyone. Wait! I think I should wait till we all get together. I need to go."

Nick then dashed out leaving his parents pretty surprised how he took the news.

"Well... Nick seems happy about the news." Frankie said feeling relieved.

A few days later, Nick decided to call all his friends over to his basement. Judy, Cole, Conner Benji, Finnick, Falisha, Flash, Gazelle, Ronnie, Audran, Mervin, Gideon, Travis, Sharla, Gareth, Kyle, Bobby, Libby, and Darson. They were all curious what Nick was so excited about.

"Thank you all for coming. Guys, I have BIG news." Nick said excitedly.

"Nick, what is it that you wanted to tell us?" Judy asked.

"Whatever it is, it better an 8 or higher." Finnick said with his arm's crossed.

Nick took a deep breath before giving them the news. "I'm gonna be a big brother."

For a whole second, everyone else in the room froze. Then they all got up and shouted: "OH MY GOD!" They all then rushed to Nick's side to hug him and pat him on the back.

"That's a 10!" Finnick said.

"That's definitely a 10." Benji added.

"This is great news." Judy said happily.

"Well... say goodbye to the luxuries of being an only child." Mervin said to Nick.

"So, do you know if your mom is having a boy or a girl?" Falisha asked.

"It could be a girl... or a boy... or both." Nick said.

"Huh?" The others said a bit confused.

"According to mom, she's having twins." Nick stated.

"TWINS?!" Cole and Conner shouted out. "JUST LIKE US!"

"The points have been doubled." Finnick said with a smile. "That's like a 20."

"Oh my gosh! This is such great news, Nick." Judy said.

"Yeah. But I'm a bit nervous about it. I don't know anything about being a big brother." Nick said as he looked a bit nervous.

"Don't worry, Nick." Judy said as she places her paw on Nick's back. "Having a few little brothers and sisters..."

"Few?" Everyone else said raising their eyebrows.

"Okay, a LOT of little brothers and sisters..." Judy admitted sounding a bit annoyed. Her annoyance quickly went away. "... I can help you with all I know."

"Yeah. Also, unluck me, you get the joy of being the oldest kid." Mervin stated. "A joy I will never get to experience."

"Wait. Don't you have a younger sister?" Falisha asked.

"Yeah... but I still have five older brothers." Mervin said before crossing his arms. "No one here knows what it's like to have their older siblings bag on them all day."

"Wanna bet?" Cole and Conner said with their arms crossed. They knew all too well about having older siblings bag on them like Mervin.

"All things aside, we can't wait to see the new babies." Sharla said joyfully.

"Me too." Nick said smiling.

As so, time passed. As Judy helps Nick prepared for big brotherhood, his mother was going through... pregnancy stuff. For example, 4 months in, when Frankie's pregnancy was noticeable, she started to have... anger issue. Poor John was dealing with most of it.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT, JOHNATHAN WILDE!" Frankie shouted out angrily as she pointed at her pregnant belly. "YOU DID THIS TO ME!"

"Now now, Frankie." John said trying to calm his wife down.

"Don't 'Now now, Frankie.' me." Frankie said firmly and angrily. "You just HAD to be one of those good husbands instead of the has-beens that leave when the going gets tough."

"Uhhhh... you're welcome?" John said not knowing to take that as a compliment or not.

"If you didn't just agree for us to have more kids, I WOULDN'T LOOK LIKE THIS!" Frankie said still angrily. "I blame you for this, Johnathan. I. Blame. You."

Frankie then left the room still looking very steamed. As she left, Nick came into the room.

"Uhhh... is mom okay?" Nick asked concerned about the yelling.

"Your mother's fine. It's just that... the whole pregnancy thing tends to bring the... worst of her." John said to Nick.

"Was she like this when she was carrying me?" Nick asked.

"Yes. But you got to remember, she carrying two babies. So... it's twice the mood swings." John told him.

"Ohhhhhhh." Nick said understanding.

Some days Frankie was really angry. Other days, she was... really sad. One time, Frankie was weeping quite a bit as she sat on the couch with John.

"WAAAAAAAAHHHH! You think I'm ugly like this, don't you?" Frankie asked weeping.

"No, you're not. You're beautiful." John said to her.

"I FEEL LIKE AN ELEPHANT!" Frankie shouted out.

"You're not. You just feel like you're carrying one." John said joking a bit. He regretted saying that right away.

"WAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Frankie cried. "SO YOU THINK I'M FAT!?"

"WHAT? NO!" John said as he frantically flair his arms around. "I don't think that at all."

"BUT IT'S TRUE, ISN'T IT?" Frankie shouted out.

Poor John tried his best to cope with his wife. But it was days like this, that really tested his will. As John continued to hear the cries of his wife, he couldn't help but have this one thought in mind.

"Babies, I know you still have a few months, but please hurry. Daddy can only handle so much from your mother." John said in his head looking really worried.

Overall, John still stayed loyal to his beloved Frankie and things always worked out as each day passed. Then... the day finally came.

In the living room, Nick was sitting on the floor with Judy and John was sitting on the couch with Stu and Bonnie. It was the final week of Frankie's pregnancy and they were preparing for everything.

"Okay. I think we're ready." John said as he checks a notepad with a list of things. "The new room's ready, the cribs are set, we babyproof the cabinets, diapers, baby food, everything."

"Sounds like you are really prepared, John." Stu said.

"Yes, sirree! By this time next week, we should be ready." John said with a wide smile.

They then hear a loud shout. It was from Frankie.

"JOOOOOOHNNY!" Frankie shouted out loudly.

"Frankie?" John said getting up from the couch. Frankie makes it into the room. "What is it, dearly?"

Frankie had her paws on her stomach as she answered. "They're coming!"

"What?" John said looking confused.

"The babies! It's time!" Frankie stated.

As Frankie said that, everyone else's eyes opened up widely.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Everyone else shouted out while getting up.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S TIME?!" John shouted out in a panic. "THE DUE DATE ISN'T FOR ANOTHER WEEK! Are you sure?"

"Well... since I'm the one having these kits, PRETTY SURE!" Frankie stated firmly.

"Ohmygod! Ohmygod! Ohmygod!" John said frantically. While saying that he was ready for when the babies come, he didn't prepare himself for them coming a week early. He was already hyperventilating.

"Johnathan, calm down." Bonnie said to the fox. "This situation isn't new to someone like Stu and I. Just remember your plan."

"My plan? That's right my plan." John said regaining his composure. "Okay. First thing, we need to get to the hospital. Frankie, take Bonnie to the car. Nicky, you drive."

"Uhhh... pop, I'm not old enough to drive." Nick stated confused why John said for him to drive.

"Want to try that again?" Frankie asked John.

"I mean, Frankie, to the car. I'll drive." John said making sure to say the right things.

"Better." Frankie said pleased. Frankie then felt a couple more kicks in her stomach. "Oooohhh! They're really want to come out now."

"Eeek!" Nick and Judy said looking worried.

"We're burning daylight. Let's move, move, move!" Stu said taking charge.

With that, everyone hurried out the house and ran to the car. Except, for one thing. Everyone rushed out... without getting Frankie. The one who was pregnant and in too much of a condition to properly dash.

"Uhhh... excuse me?" Frankie said to everyone. John immediately came back to her.

"Sorry. Sorry." John said as he helps his wife walk.

So after that, they quickly made their way to the hospital. As Frankie was set to the operating room, John came with her. Nick, Judy, and Judy's parents waited in the hospital lobby. For support, Nick paced for what seemed like hours. It seemed like John wasn't the only one nervous about today. While Nick mentally prepared himself, him was actually afraid of being a future big brother.

"Nervous?" Judy asked Nick concern for her friend.

"Very." Nick replied. "What if something happens or... I'm not a good big brother?"

"Nick, you're overthinking things." Judy said to Nick.

"Easy for you to say. You already have like a hundred younger brothers and sisters. You're used to being a big sister."

"Relax. I told you before, you can handle it. You can handle anything." Judy said as she holds Nick's paw.

"I hope you're right." Nick said still sounding unsure.

At that moment, one of the doctors came to Nick. She was a slim cheetah that wore a doctor's coat.

"You must be the lucky boy." The doctor said to Nick.

"Depends on how you would define 'lucky'." Nick said to her. "How's my mom?"

"She's fine. Your mother's a-okay." The doctor told Nick with a smile.

"*sigh* That's a relief." Nick said happily.

"So... do you want to meet them?" The doctor asked.

Nick's eyes widen as he hears those words. He then turns to Judy and the Hopps parents, who all nodded at him. Telling him that he should go. So Nick followed the doctor, leading him to the room his parents were in. The doctor then opens the door for Nick.

"Go on in." The doctor said.

Nick slowly walked inside of the room. As he did, he hears the sounds of small crying. He then looked in awe at the sight he saw. He sees his mom on the hospital bed with his dad by her side. In Frankie's arms were two baby fox pups. John and Frankie then looked up at Nick with a smile.

"Hey, son." John said.

"Come say hi to your brother and sister. Todrick Henderson Wilde and Victoria Danielle Wilde." Frankie said. Frankie looked a bit exhausted, but she was fine.

Nick then slowly walked up to them. He got beside his father and looked at his two new siblings as his mother held both of them. They were small and crying quite a lot. Yet, Nick could help by smile and get a bit emotional.

"They're so small." Nick said with a light smile.

"Well, their lives are just starting today." John stated. "They still have a lot of growing to do. So, as their big brother, you have to help them whenever you can."

"Okay." Nick said nodding. "I promise." Nick then continued to look at the newborns with a sincere smile as they stopped crying. "Hey, Toddy. Hey, Vicky. I'm Nick. Your big brother."

And that's how Todd and Vicky were born. Nick always did what he could for them and became a good and loving big brother. Now back with Nick and his family.

As Frankie fed the twins, Nick was getting a backpack.

"So, today's the day, isn't it?" Frankie asked Nick.

"Indeed it is, mom." Nick replied.

"Got your stuff?" Frankie asked.

"Yes, mom." Nick answered.

"Got your ticket?" Frankie asked.

"Yes, mom." Nick answered again.

"How about..." Frankie asked.

"Ma, I got everything I need." Nick stated. "Don't worry. I was prepared since yesterday." Nick then put his backpack on his back. "Alright. I'm ready to get going."

As Nick said that, the twins looked a bit fussy and upset as they tried to reach for Nick.

"Aww. I don't think Todd and Vicky want you to go." Frankie said.

Nick then walked over to the two pups.

"Hey now. It won't be too long. I'm only gonna be gone for a day or two. Promise." Nick said to them.

Vicky looked pretty upset while Todd just looked a little bit mad. He even had his little arms crossed.

"Come on. Don't be that way." Nick said trying to cheer his siblings up.

Nick then started making some goofy funny faces to make them happy again. It seems to work since the two were both giggling.

"There's the sweet smiles." Nick said happily. He then faced Todd. "Toddy, be good. Okay? Up top." He then had his paw out, wanting his baby brother to high-paw him. Todd lightly pawed his brother's paw, which made Nick happy. He then walked over to face Vicky. "You be good too, Vicky." Nick then gives Vicky some butterfly kisses on her left cheek. Vicky responds with more giggling. Nick then faced his mom. "Okay. I'm going now. Tell pop I said bye."

"Speaking about your father..." Frankie said to Nick before putting a brown paper bag on the table. "... he forgot to bring his lunch. Be a good boy and take it to him."

"WHAT?! NOW?!" Nick shouted out. He didn't sound too happy. "Ma, the shop is on the opposite side of the train station and I might miss my train."

"Well then, you better hurry." Frankie said to Nick giving him some tough love.

"DAAAAAHHHH!" Nick shouted looking angrily as he takes the lunch bag and rushes out of the room.

"LOVE YOU!" Frankie shouted out to Nick before he left.

"YEAH YEAH!" Nick shouted out before slamming the door.

"Guess he wasn't expecting that." Frankie to Todd and Vicky. She then switches to baby talk. "Daddy's so forgetful, isn't he?"

Meanwhile, Nick dashed out of his house and got on his bike while chanting "I love my family. I love my family." to motivate him to actually bring his father's lunch to him instead of just heading to the station. Nick was sure to put the pedal to the metal and ride as fast as he could. He was careful to avoid the passing bystanders, but also took the time to say hey to everyone he knew.

The city of Zootopia hasn't really changed much. It was always busy and people from left and right try to get to where they need to go. It was all still the same, yet Nick still loved the city. There was one new thing added to the city. That was Nick's stop. A big suit and tailor shop in the middle of Downtown. Wilde and Family's Suitopia. The dream store that Nick's father, John, wanted for so long was now a reality.

"There it is. Suitopia." Nick thought with a big smile.

Nick was pretty happy that his father was able to finally opened his dream store. Nick then started flashing back to the day the store was officially opened. A small crowd surrounded the store. A few people in the crowd were some of the Hopps family members. Even Mr. Big, his daughter, Fru Fru, and his bodyguards were here. The Wildes all felt happy about this. John was smiling and Frankie was happy for him. She was also still six months pregnant with the twins. With some big scissors, John was about to cut the bring red ribbon in front of the store.

"And with these scissors, I now declare Wilde and Family's Suitopia..." John said about to cut the ribbon. But then he stops for a moment as he looks at his son. "You know what..." He then hands Nick the scissors. "... how about you do the honors, Nick?"

"Me? Really?" Nick said as his eyes opened up.

"You earned this just as much as I did." John said to Nick with a big smile.

As tempted as Nick was, he still felt that this was more of his father's moment. But that didn't mean they couldn't compromise.

"Together?" Nick asked.

"Works for me." John said agreeing with Nick.

"Mom, you should join in too. It will also be like the babies are joining in too." Nick said to his mom.

"Alright." Frankie said agreeing with Nick.

So the three foxes each held the scissors and prepared to cut the ribbon together.

"And with these scissors, we now declare that Wilde and Family's Suitopia..." Nick said.

The Wildes then cut the ribbon.

"... OPEN!" The Wildes all shouted out happily.

Everyone clapped now that the new store was finally opened. Suitopia is now considered to be one of the best suit and tailor shops in Downtown and slowly becoming one of the best in the city. The store gets a fair amount of business and is quite successful. John was even able to hire some employees to help him with the shop. The employees all worn vests or suits, depending on what they preferred.

As Nick finished reminiscing, he grabs the lunch bag and hurried into the shop. The shop was a lot the old one, but MUCH bigger. Plenty suits were displayed inside the store and by the window. There was also plenty of fabric material for making suits on shelves. Everything a suit and tailor store should have. Nick walks around and greets all the employees.

"Hello." Nick said waving to a male rhino.

"Hey, Nick." The rhino said greeting the teenage fox.

"Hey there." Nick said greeting a male raccoon.

"Hello, Nick. How have you been?" The raccoon asked.

"Good. Good." Nick replied.

Nick then stopped by to greet a wolverine with glasses that he was actually quite close to.

"Hey, Uncle Harvey." Nick said cheerfully.

"Hey, Nicky." Harvey said greeting Nick.

Harvey Wolven is John's friend since college. He's also in really good term with the Wildes. When John asked him if he could work for the store, Harvey was more than happy to. So he quitted his old office job and worked with John the second the business opened.

"What brings you here?" Harvey asked.

"Bringing pop his lunch." Nick replied while holding up the brow bag. "Mom noticed pop forgot this and she decided I should be the one to bring it to him."

"I see. You're a good boy, Nick." Harvey said to Nick.

"Yeah... I keep telling myself that." Nick said looking annoyed by it. "So, where is pops?"

"In his office." Harvey said pointing at the office door.

"Thanks." Nick said with a smile.

Nick then headed to the door and opened it up. Inside the office room, John was in a suave dark blue suit doing paperwork. John noticed Nick as the door opened.

"Oh! Nicky! What brings you here, champ?" John asked happy to see his son.

"Hey, pop." Nick said as he walked up to his desk. "I'm here cause you forgot your lunch... again. Mom wanted me to bring it to you."

Nick then handed the bag to John to have.

"Ah. I knew I forgot something. Thank you, Nicky. You're a good boy." John said with a smile.

"Uncle Harvey said the same thing. Like I said to him, I keep telling myself that." Nick said still looking annoyed by his sense of duty.

"Wait? Isn't today the day?" John asked.

"Yeah. I was supposed to already be at the train station, but I had to come here first." Nick said looking at the clock on his dad's desk. The clock said 10:15 pm. "Crud! Is that the time? I don't think I'm gonna be able to catch my train now."

Hearing that made John's ears twitched. John knew if Nick missed his train, it was because of him. Being the kind of dad John is, he wasn't gonna let that happened.

"Get it the car." John said firmly as he gets out of his chair.

"What?" Nick said looking confused. John then immediately grabbed his arm. "Hey!"

"We are getting in my car and I'm driving you to the train station. Now let's move." John said firmly as they walk out the door. While out of his office, he speaks to Harvey as he passes him by. "Harv, watch the store while I'm gone."

"Will do." Harvey replied.

With that, Nick and John went outside and got into his car. John didn't even slow down. The second they got into the car was the second he turned the key into the ignition. A few seconds after that, John was on his way to take Nick to the train station. The main problem was... traffic. Zootopia almost always had heavy traffic. Especially during this time of day. John was getting pretty frustrated and started honking the horn a bit.

"MOVE IT!" John shouted out. "I need to take my son to the train station!"

"Pop, it's fine." Nick said trying to calm down his father.

"No! You're only late for your train because of me and I'm not losing points off my dad card for this." John said.

"Dad card?" Nick said sounding curious.

"When I do good things for my kids, I gain points. When something bad happens to my kids because of me, I lose points." John explained. "I refuse to give up. Being a good dad is one of the only things I'm proud of."

"O... kay..." Nick said sounding a bit scared.

"Make sure your seatbelts on tight. We're taking a shortcut." John said to Nick.

"What?" Nick said a bit scared of what might happen next.

John then turned the car to another route with less traffic. He also stepped on the gas a bit harder than he needed to. Fast enough to almost break the speed limit, but slow enough to not be reckless. John seems to know where he should go, but it didn't make Nick feel any better. In fact, he was fearing for his very life. After some crazy lefts and rights...

"Made it!" John said as he parks the car near the train station. "And with minutes to spare."

"Huh. Nicely done, pop." Nick said glad to make it to the station on time.

"Wellllllllllll..." John asked with a smirk if he did well.

"Yes, pop. Your dad card reminds untainted. In fact, I'm pretty sure you just earn some points." Nick said to his dad with a smile.

"YEEEEESSSS!" John said proudly pumping his face.

"Alright. If that's all you need, I need to get on my train." Nick said as he opened the car door and put his backpack on. He gets out the car and closes the door and was on his way. "See ya, pop."

"Hang on, Nicky. One more thing." John said to halt him for one moment.

"Yeah?" Nick asked.

"Good luck." John said with a smile.

"Heh. I'm pretty sure I don't need luck, pop." Nick said with a smirk.

Nick and John then hear an announcement from the station.

"Attention. Train A-3 will be departing in two minutes."

"CRUD! That's my train!" Nick said looking panicked.

"GO! GO! GO!" John said frantically.

"Right! Thanksfortheridepoploveyabye!" Nick said as quick as he could move.

Nick hurried to his train before he missed it. He even had to get on all fours to move fast enough. In the nick of time (Ha! Wordplay.), Nick was finally made it to his train before departing.

"*Huff* *Huff* Made it." Nick said sounding tired.

"Just barely, kid." The zebra conductor said. "Consider yourself lucky."

"Don't I know it." Nick said knowing that he has always been very lucky.

After giving the conductor his ticket, Nick got inside the train. The conductor shouted out "ALL BOOOOOARD!" and the train began to start up. Within a few seconds, the train started moving. It was gonna be a while before Nick would head to his destination. But Nick was willing to wait. Cause the place he was heading to was important to him.

"Next stop, Bunnyburrow." Nick said to himself.

Bunnyburrow. A small town where the majority of its population were rabbits. The town rarely changes. Besides the population growing every minute. The two was also was the home of a family of rabbits named the Hopps. A family that had one of the most popular farms in town. The family also had one special bunny.

This bunny was a young grey-furred doe with purple eyes. She was wearing a navy blue shirt with a white collar and grey jeans. The bunny was in her room filled stuff animals on her bed, some decorative posters, and a desk that had a framed photo of a young bunny with a fox. As the bunny brushed her ears with a brush looking at her desk mirror, she was listening to her radio. Playing, was R&B artist, Ashanti Doglas with her song, Happy.

As the song began to play out, the bunny was now finished grooming herself.

"Okay. Ready for another day." The bunny said to her reflection as her ears went up.

This bunny was Judy Hopps. The perky and clever bunny who dreamed of joining the Zootopia Police Department one day. Her goal hasn't changed and neither has she much from her 9-year-old self. Other than growing a bit taller and looking like a proper young teen. After finishing brushing her ears, Judy hears a few knocks on her door.

"Coming!" Judy shouted out.

Judy turned off her radio, gets off her chair and opens the door. As she does, she is greeted by 3 of her sisters. All around the same age she was. A white-furred bunny wearing a yellow tank top, blue skirt, and a white flower on the side of her right ear, Daisy. A light grey bunny wearing glasses, a blue and white shirt, and black jeans, Wendy. Lastly, a light brown bunny wearing a dark green shirt and a white skirt, Abby.

"Hey, Judy!" Daisy, Wendy, and Abby all went joyfully.

"Of course. It's you three. Again." Judy said not sounding too surprised to see her sisters.

"Let us in." Daisy said.

"What was the point in some of us having our own rooms now if we're just gonna keep coming into each other's room?" Judy said still letting them in. "What's up?"

"Just wanted to talk about the usual." Abby said.

"The usual. Of course." Judy said as her ears droop down and she sits back in her chair. "If we're just gonna talk about the usual stuff, then you already know my answers. The same as it always is."

"Come on, Jude. We're teenagers now. Talking about boys is what us girls do." Daisy stated.

Judy and her sisters are at that age where they can start to date or see boys. Abby, Daisy, and Wendy are three of Judy's many sisters that want to know if Judy wanted to date. Judy's usually negative about the subject.

"Like I told you, I'm not interested in boys." Judy stated. "Nor are boys interested in me."

"That's a lie if I've ever heard one." Daisy said as she sat on Judy's bed.

"While I can't say if you are interested in boys, I do recall many boys being interested in you." Wendy stated. "You just turn down each and every boy that asks you out."

"I didn't really like any of them." Judy stated. "They were all one-sided. Always trying to impress me with their 'so-called' swagger."

"Yeah... their swagger is not impressive." Wendy said to agree with Judy.

As the girls talked, Judy looked at her picture frame of her and Nick when they were 9. She still kept all the good memories she had with Nick in her mind. Abby noticed Judy looking at the picture and even took a look at the picture.

"I see. So that's why you aren't interested in boys." Daisy said with a smirk.

Judy noticed Daisy looking at her picture and started blushing a bit.

"Of course. Still hung up on him, are you?" Abby asked.

"I have no idea who you are talking about." Judy said firmly as she looked away.

"Mm hmm." Judy's three sisters went not believe her.

"Ladies, give me an N." Daisy said to Abby and Wendy.

"N!" Abby and Wendy shouted out.

"Give me an I." Daisy said next.

"I!" Abby and Wendy shouted out.

"Give me a C." Daisy said next.

"C!" Abby and Wendy shouted out.

"Give me an K." Daisy said next.

"K!" Abby and Wendy shouted out.

"What does that spell?" Daisy said lastly.

"NICK!" Abby and Wendy happily shouted out.

"Quit it! Quit it!" Judy said feeling annoyed.

Everyone who's anyone knows that Judy has always had a thing for her childhood friend, Nick. The two were always really close and they had shared their feelings with each other. Everyone in the family knew about that too.

"Judy, we already know how much you like Nick." Daisy stated. "So it's clear that you only have eyes for him."

"Makes sense. You two pretty much have the kind of romance that would be great for movies and romance novels." Abby stated.

"Why is everyone obsessed with thinking Nick and I are this 'great couple'?" Judy asked still blushing quite a bit.

"Cause you kinda are." Wendy stated. "At least to most of us."

"I'm aware of how great Nick and I are together. I've always had since we were kids. But come on. I haven't even seen Nick since the twins were born. That was like a year ago." Judy stated.

In reality, it's been over a year since Nick and Judy have seen each other. As time went by, their visits slowly began to shorten from once a week to once every other week to only being a once a month. Eventually, the visits stopped because both families were too busy with their businesses. As sad as the two were about it, Nick and Judy understood. The two haven't seen or talked to each other ever since.

"Maybe... things will change." Daisy said.

"You said that the last time. Yet things are still the same." Judy stated.

"Come it. Nick's not like the others." Abby stated.

"Do you still have feelings for Nick?" Wendy asked.

"Do I... do I still have feelings for Nick?" Judy said looking a little flustered. She looked at her sisters, who were giving her wide smirks. When she saw that, there was no point in lying. "Of course I still have feelings. Since the night of the dance, I think about it all the time. When we dance together. When we talked to each other about how we felt. When we kissed. Those thoughts haven't slipped my mind in the slightest."

Even with it been a long time since Judy has seen Nick, the feelings were still there, as well as the memories. No one has ever had an effect on Judy's life other than Nick. Daisy then walked over to Judy and looked her dead in the eye.

"Jude, answer me seriously when I ask you this." Daisy said sounding serious. "Did Nick... 'mark' you?"

"WHAT?!" Judy shouted out nearly hopping out her seat. She also looked really red-faced from her sister's question. "Why did you had to say that?"

"Cause it seems that way." Daisy said.

"Well, it's not." Judy said firmly. "He didn't mark me just because he kissed me. If that were the case then..." Judy still blushed she loses her firm tone for the next thing she says. "... I was the one who 'marked' him first."

Judy's last words made her sisters froze up with widening eyes.

"Jude, what do you mean by that?" Daisy asked.

"Uhhhhhhh..." Judy said trying to figure out something else to say.

"Juuuuuuuude..." Abby said wanting an answer.

Judy knew there was no point in hiding things anymore.

"Fine. There may have been a time when I've kissed Nick." Judy said embarrassed to admit it.

"WHAAAAAATTTTT?!" Daisy, Abby, and Wendy shouted out in shock.

"A little louder, why don't ya? I don't think the rest of the house heard you." Judy said looking a bit angry.

"WHEN?! When did you kiss him?!" Abby asked.

"It was after the whole Junior Ranger Scout thing. 4 years ago." Judy stated.

"4 YEARS AGO?!" Daisy shouted out in more shock.

"During the Junior Ranger Scout thing? You mean you kissed him that long ago and NOT tell ANY of us?" Abby asked looking upset about not hearing the news sooner.

"You know how you guys are." Judy stated.

"4 YEARS AGO?!" Daisy shouted out again.

"You couldn't even tell ONE of us?" Wendy asked also upset.

"It would have spread like wildfire." Judy stated.

"4 YEARS AGO?!" Daisy shouted out once more.

"YES! YES! I kissed Nick... on the cheek... 4 YEARS AGO!" Judy said firmly and getting tired of Daisy repeating it.

"Exactly how long did you..." Daisy asked wanting to how long Judy had kissed Nick.

"2 seconds." Judy answered.

"Ooooooooooh!" Judy's sisters all went.

"If it was longer than a peck, then..." Abby said.

"I know the rule." Judy said firmly. "Anything longer than a simple peck means more."

"So... why did you kiss him?" Wendy asked.

"I don't know. It just happened." Judy stated as she rubbed her drooping ears. "It was after we set Chuck and those other boys straight. There was some crying, some hugging, and some paw holding."

"All that in one night? Man, those two were closer than most couples within the first 3 years." Daisy thought.

"After some talking, that's when Nick decided he should join the ZPD as well. That way we can become partners and work together." Judy said to them. "After we got to his house, I left to go back to the motel. But... not before giving Nick a kiss. Then I ran to a corner and freaked out quite a bit."

"So that's what happened?" Abby asked.

"Yeah." Judy answered.

"Well... it's very clear now. Mark or not, it obvious that not only have you always liked Nick from the very beginning, but you still waiting for a day where the two of you can be together." Abby stated.

"Mmm..." Judy went not really wanting to say anything else.

"Come on. Isn't that why you're still wearing that?" Abby asked pointing at a bracelet on Judy's right arm. It was a black lace with two little charms. A carrot and a blueberry.

This bracelet was something Judy made a sign of her and Nick's bond. She made one for Nick as well to be a sort of good luck charm. Nick vowed to Judy that he would never take his off and Judy had decided to do the same. Her still wearing it now meant that she kept that vow.

"I made one for Nick. Well, two after the last one he had broke." Judy said as she looked at her bracelet. "He said he would never take it off. It's only fair that I do the same."

"It's more like you don't want to take it off." Daisy said with a light smile. "Cause if you do, you might forget about him. The one who's changed your life in more ways than you can be thankful for."

"Alright. That's enough." Judy said as she gets up from her chair. "I don't feel like talking about Nick anymore."

"Heehee! That's a first." Abby said after giggling.

"Girls!" Judy said sounding serious. "While I get what you are all saying and even agree with you, the whole Nick and I 'thing' still might not even happen."

"Even if you see him again?" Wendy asked.

"Even if that happens." Judy replied.

"Why not?" Daisy asked.

"Uhhhh... well..." Judy said nervously. Clearly, she didn't have a really good excuse for her not dating Nick. "... because he's not exactly my type."

Abby, Daisy, and Wendy gave Judy a look of disbelief.

"Really? He's not your type?" Daisy asked raising an eyebrow up. "Then, by all means, tell us what your type is."

"We'll tell you if Nick doesn't fit the pieces." Wendy said with a smirk.

"Okay." Judy said agreeing with these terms. "Well... he has to be nice."

"Nick." Judy's sister said.

"He should not only be smart, but clever in his own way." Judy said.

"Nick." Judy's sisters said again.

"He should be honest." Judy said.

"Nick." Judy's sisters said again.

"He needs to be brave, dependable, and follows his own path." Judy said.

"Nick, Nick, annnnnnnnd Nick." Judy's sisters said knowing that Nick has fit ALL of Judy's standards.

"And preferably..." Judy said scratching the back of her head. "... he should... be a rabbit."

"Ni..." Judy's sisters were about to say Nick again, but paused when they realized that she mentioned 'rabbit'.

"Wait, what?" Daisy said surprised to hear what Judy said.

"Judy, you not that stereotypical, are you?" Wendy asked.

Judy walked over to her room door before saying something else to them. "In a world like this, maybe I am."

With that, Judy then left her room. Daisy, Wendy, and Abby didn't want end things there. The three immediately followed Judy down the hall. The three then walked and talked while passing a few of their other siblings.

"Judy, are you telling us the only reason you wouldn't want to date Nick is that he's a fox?" Daisy asked.

"No. The reason is not that he's a fox. It's because he's not a rabbit." Judy stated.

"That's basically the same thing." Wendy stated.

"Listen, this is what I talked to Nick about. It's one of the reasons we decided not to date." Judy said to them. "When it all comes down to it, he's a fox and I'm a rabbit."

"You're really letting something like that stop you?" Abby asked.

"It's not just that." Judy said before halting and looking back at her sisters. "Look at our family. No one in our family has dated outside of our species. Not only that, you know how most of them were when it came to foxes. It also doesn't help that most mammals don't date mammals outside of their species too. So what does that tell you?"

"That most people only end up with mammals that are the same as them." Wendy replied.

"Exactly." Judy said. "Sure, when we were kids, it was like 'Oh. A fox and a bunny. That's odd, but still very cute.'. Now that we're teens, it will probably be like 'A fox and a bunny? Golly, I hope they end that relationship before they become adults.'. Then... there's adulthood." Judy seemed a little shaky for the next thing she was going to say. "Whether we want to admit it or not, I pretty sure if we passed people, they would say 'A fox and rabbit? How disgusting. Don't they have any decency?'. That's what people will think. If not everyone, then a high majority."

Judy had a point most relationships in the world were all mammals of the same species. Even the ones that didn't, they don't date on different sides. Prey and Prey. Predator and Predator. But never Prey and Predator.

"Judy, do you really that's how it's gonna be if you date Nick?" Abby asked.

"Can you honestly say it would be like that?" Judy asked. Daisy, Abby, and Wendy became silent. They couldn't give Judy an answer. "Your silence answers my question."

With that, Judy then started walking away. Her sisters still followed her. They all made their way to the kitchen. Each of them got a can of strawberry soda from the fridge. While Judy didn't want to say anything else, Daisy did want to say something.

"Judy, let me tell you this. I'm not trying to sound mean, but I am gonna be blunt." Daisy said to her. "So here goes. Judy, there is nobody out there for you."

"Wow... Just pulled the bandage off, did ya?" Judy said not liking Daisy's bluntness.

"Well to be more direct, there is no bunny out there for you." Daisy stated. "You what to know what the bunnies are like in this town? They want to be like every other bunny. Run their family business and settle. They have no drive. No motivation. But you, Judy..." Daisy opened up her soda and drank a bit of it before talking again. "... you are different. You're very driven and don't want to be bound by the typical bunny stereotypes. You're too good for the average run-of-the-mill bunny and shouldn't settle for anyone less. Honestly, I'm starting to think I am too."

"Is that so?" Judy asked.

"Very so." Daisy replied. "You need someone who will motivate you to succeed in your goals. Date someone here, they would just tell you to be practical and settle for the small and easy goals. While that seems okay for some folks, it still basically a cop-out. If you don't work hard for what you have, how do you know if you truly earned it?" Daisy then walked closer to Judy and put her left paw on Judy's right shoulder. "That's what you taught all of us, right?"

"Daisy..." Judy said in a sincere matter.

"So what if you and Nick are different species. If the world is gonna be against that, then you just need to break the mold and change everyone's minds." Daisy said while smiling boldly. "I mean, you're already planning on doing that when you become a cop, right? Might as well add one more thing to the list."

Judy was surprisingly at a lost for words. Usually, she's the one in her family to give out advice like that. The fact that one of her sisters gave that kind of advice to her, caught her off guard.

"Are you really one of my sisters? Last time I checked, most of my siblings aren't even close to talking like I would." Judy said with a smirk.

"Heeeeyy!" Daisy, Abby, and Wendy said not sounding too happy.

"We've all changed a LOT after you became friends with Nick." Daisy said.

"He helped you understand things you did. So it's only logical that he did the same for the rest of us." Wendy stated.

"Fair enough." Judy said shrugging.

The four then finished their sodas and throw away the cans in a trash bin. After that, they all walk out the kitchen and to the living room.

"To honest, you're girls are completely right. I would really love to date Nick one day. Like a lot." Judy admitted.

"Knew it. You two have a unique romance. Just like the ones in the movies." Daisy said joyfully.

"However, we both still live in different towns and things aren't like how they were when we were younger." Judy stated. "I not even sure I will even see him again."

"So... if you were to see him again..." Abby asked.

"The two of us might talk and try to make it work." Judy replied. "But if it comes to Nick and I not seeing each other again, then just how it will be."

"I doubt that will happened. You two are bonded by fate. Always have been. Just like the movies." Daisy stated.

"If we really are bonded by fate, then it will be fate that brings us back together." Judy said.

The four girls then make it to the living room. As they did, they happen to hear some knocking on the door.

"Someone's at the door." Judy stated.

"Maybe that's Nick coming to sweep you off your feet." Daisy said.

"You said that the last time. And the time before that." Judy stated.

As Judy said that, the doorbell still rang.

"Guess I'll get it." Judy said as she started walking to the door. Whoever was behind the door still continued to ring the doorbell. It annoyed Judy a bit. "I'M COMING! GIVE ME A SECOND!" After that shout, Judy made it to her door, unlocked it, and opened the door to see who it was. "You better have a reason to ring my bell so mu..."

Judy was turned speechless from who was at the door. Her ears drooped down and her eyes widen. Cause the person she was looking at... was Nick himself. The fox looked a bit surprised to see that Judy was the one to answer the door, but was still happy enough to see she. It was obvious with the smile on his face. From behind Judy in the distance, her sisters were shocked with dropped jaws to see Nick as well.

"Oh my god. It really is Nick." Abby said shocked to see him.

"I didn't think he would actually show up." Daisy stated still shocked by it too.

"Shhh! Stay quiet." Wendy said thinking they should all be quiet.

Abby and Wendy covered their mouths as they didn't want to disturb Nick and Judy. Nick and Judy were still gazing at each other by the door. Nick then finally broke the silence.

"Judith Laverne Hopps." Nick said saying Judy's full name.

"Nicholas Piberius Wilde." Judy said following Nick's role and saying Nick's full name as well.

Nick then opened his arms. Guess he was expecting to get a hug from Judy.

"You come here and the first thing you expect is a hug?" Judy asked Nick.

"You know you want to." Nick said with a smirk.

If there's one thing about Nick, it's him having a habit of being right. Judy had wanted to see Nick for so long. Her heart was overwhelmed with joy. She then dashed to Nick and hugged him, wrapping her arms around him. Nick did the same as she embraced her.

"I've missed you, Nick." Judy said happily.

"I've missed you too, Carrots." Nick said happy as well.

As the two continued to hug, Abby, Wendy, and Daisy happily looked from a distance. Daisy was the most emotional of the three.

"*sniff**sniff* See? Just like the movies." Daisy said as she wipes tears from her eyes.

Nick and Judy have reunited. So... what does this mean now? Will the two end up being a couple and make things work? What could this mean for the future? Whatever happens, will happen... in the next chapter. This is the first chapter after all. There's still much more to come. Until then, see ya next time.
