A/N: As I have mentioned before, confirmed sequel is in commence. And I'm done with it. I'm trying to keep the ship of Nick and Judy sailing. Because without this ship, I don't think I would have gotten back to drawing again after 10 years later. So here it is. Also, thanks so much for all your reviews, faves and follows.

Warning: The characters might be a little OOC. I try to keep them IC. So if you have any problem because of this, then this is definitely not for you.

Summary: It has been months now since our heroes dated. Interspeciesm was now legal in Zootopia. And Judy thought it might be a good idea to finally introduce her todfriend to her parents. That is, if they're okay with it…


Almost 7 months have passed after Nick and Judy were going out. And it looks like that things have been going better in Zootopia. At first, the residents were a little concern with the fact that interspecism may cause some problems. But apparently, it finally became a thing. Ever since then, animals of different species, prey or predator can finally just be themselves. Zootopia looked happier…

Judy would skip around, looking at couples whether or not they were two different species or the same, she would smile and thought to herself that she was the luckiest bunny ever to actually get to date a fox.

After all, she and Nick have gotten better at understanding each other. Even though Nick can still be quite ignorant at times. But that's what she loves about that fox. His lazy and sloppy personality would just make her giggle from the thought of it.

It was just a usual day at the ZPD. Judy and Nick were considered heroes around. Some of the Zootopians actually fell in love with a species different from them and some even further. But because of Nick and Judy, everyone can love anyone. And because of that, the two can finally…

"Get a week off?!" said Judy to Chief Bogo.

Nick was sitting right next to her.

"Well," said the Chief. "Because of you two, things have been even quieter here in Zootopia. And I thought that maybe you two deserve a break."

"We were only dating, Chief," Judy protested. "It was not a big deal. I think we wouldn't mind to…"

Nick quickly covered her mouth. "Take the week off," Nick finished.

Judy glared at him. Unlike Nick, she was the kind of bunny that doesn't want to take any day-offs unless if it's important. But this? Deserving a break just because of dating another species? That doesn't count as hard work.

Whereas, on Nick's mind, he would take any chances to not work. Yep. Lazy.

The two walked out of the Chief office and Nick smiled slyly. "Well, I guess now we'll be free for the rest of the week," he said.

"You're just being lazy is all!" she exclaimed. "I joined the police force so I can serve the animals!"

Nick raised an eyebrow, looking at her.

"You can't just skip a week of work just because…!" She couldn't finish her sentence when Nick placed his lips on hers. And when he pulled back, she just froze there, blushing.

"You sure about that now?" he taunted.

She slowly calmed down a little and looked at him. "Maybe… Just a little mad…?"

That wasn't a good enough answer for Nick so he continued to place kisses all over her cheeks and head as a tease.

"Okay okay! I'm not mad about it at all!" She looked away, blushing. Still, it was unbelievable that Nick actually got her on his side for once.

He rubbed her head, satisfied with her answer. "That's what I wanted to hear from my bunny."

She smiled slightly and sighed. "Fine… But promise me no more day-offs after this. Unless if it's necessary."

"Like what? Going to the aquarium just to confess your feelings?" He smirked.

Her blushed became redder. "That was…! A one time thing only! And…" She looked away, all pouty face. "It's not like I have to do it again…"

Nick caressed her cheek which made her shiver and face towards him. "Deal," he finally said.

"Hmph!" She looked away again, upset. But on the inside, she was rather happy with his answer.

"Come on, Carrots. Don't be mad."

She finally smiled, still not looking at him and walked out of the ZPD with Nick following her.

"Carrots, come on!"


Later…

Judy and Nick were at restaurant after leaving the ZPD. They were planning to get some smoothies just to start the week off. The two ordered the same thing, Carrot Blend Milkshakes. Nick was actually planning to get the blueberry flavor one, but he didn't want his love for blueberry to be on top of Judy.

"So, I was thinking," Judy said.

"Yea?" Nick took out his phone and start logging into FurBook (Facebook) but was paying attention.

"How long has it been since we've gone out…?" she whispered, not wanting to sound all lovey-dovey in public.

Nick looked up the ceiling and counted. "Around… 7 months…? Less maybe?"

Judy nodded and looked down. "So… That means… Um… I thought maybe… You know…"

"Here's your smoothie, you two," said the waiter. But he gave them one super large size Carrot Blend Milkshake instead with two straws.

"Um… We only ordered two regular size…" Judy corrected.

"Oh no," the waiter said. "This one is for couple. You two have been famous lately for it too. So I thought maybe this would be fitting for both of you."

Nick stared at the milkshake. "I guess it'll do," he shrugged. "How much?"

"$15."

Nick paid $20 for it and told him to keep the change.

Judy noticed this and smiled. "Well well well. Since when did the dumb fox ever told anyone else to keep the change?"

"Huh? Oh, that wasn't my money. I 'borrowed' it from your wallet this morning."

Her ears dropped down quick and she checked her wallet. He was right, she was missing a $20. "Nick!"

He laughed while she scolded him in public. But eventually he got bored of her scolding and he pecked her lips.

She froze again and stared at him.

"I'll pay you back," he said. "I promise."

She quickly shook her head and smack her cheek softly to get ahold of herself. She was becoming… Vulnerable with his teases.

"Hey, Carrots."

She looked at him who was about to drink the smoothie.

"You digging in or what?"

He was waiting for her. It took a while for her to get her mind back together. She grabbed onto the straw and drank the smoothie with her todfriend.

While she was focusing on drinking, Nick stared at her for a few seconds. In his thought, she looked adorable drinking the smoothie. He smiled and leaned his cheek on the palm of his paw as he gaze at her.

She looked up at him and notice him staring. She stopped and smiled back. "What's wrong?"

He shook his head. "Nothing…" he said, sounding lost. "You just look so…"

She was listening carefully. "Yeah…?"

He cleared his throat quickly. "Er… I can't say the word."

"Huh?" Then she realized what he meant. "Oh…" She actually doesn't mind him calling her cute but just not in public. And he was respecting this. But she gave him a gentle smile and a kiss on the cheek. "You can call me that if we're alone that is…" she whispered.

Nick smiled and decided to continue drinking. But before that, he just realized something. "Oh yea. What was it that you wanted to say?"

"What?"

"You said you thought that maybe… I don't know."

"Oh that… Um yea…"

"So what is it?" Nick started drinking.

"Um… I feel like… It's time for you to meet my parents…"

His eyes immediately opened widely and he choked on his drink a little. "Uh… You sure about that…?"

"I'm sure it'll be fine."

He nodded and continue with the drink.

"Besides. You won't be the only fox there. Gideon Grey will be there too."

He choked on it a little more and coughed a little. "Uh… *cough* Who is… *cough* *cough* Gideon…?"

"Oh, he use to be a bully to us preys. But it's all cool now."

Nick nodded and sighed in relief.

"Though," Judy wondered. "I wonder why he came to my family of all animals. I mean I get he was trying to apologize for bullying us back then but why does he wanna work with us when he's the top chef across the city?"

Nick spat out his drink all of a sudden.

"Nick? You okay?"

Nick coughed a bit more and cleared out his throat. "Uh… Yea… A little."

After leaving the restaurant, the two were taking a stroll out in the park. Judy was balancing herself on the stone fence while Nick was holding on to her paw, supporting her.

"So, will you come with?" she finally said. "We have the week to ourselves after all."

"I don't know," Nick said. He held both her hands and helped her down.

"Please, Nick? For me?"

Nick looked at her and saw how serious she was. She really wanted him to meet her parents. And her 275 brothers and sisters.

"Um…"

She held his paws tighter, hoping he'll agree. Then, a thought popped up in her head.

"We have blueberries. You can have as much as you want."

Nick immediately reacted, his ears perked up and face her. "Um… Sure. Of course I'll go."

She hugged him tightly, thanking him. "Success!" she thought.


Tomorrow (French accent like in SpongeBob)

Judy was at the train station, waiting for Nick. She was carrying the suitcase that she brought when she first arrived in the city. It was actually nice for her to finally get to see her family and friends again after all this time. It's been a while and she couldn't think of a better opportunity as this. But with her todfriend this time.

She's already told her parents about Nick. And they were excited to finally get to meet him. Only problem is, they didn't know anything about him being a fox… All she mentioned was his name and what he's like.

Nick finally arrived, panting. "S-sorry… I'm… Late…"

Judy knew he was gonna be late anyway. It's been a normal routine for her to wait for him already. But luckily he arrived at the nick of time.

She noticed he was carrying two things. A briefcase. And a polystyrene box.

"What's with the box?" she said.

"Don't wanna talk about it…" he said panting.

"Attention Zootopians: The train for Bunnyburrow is about to leave. Please be sure you didn't forget anything on the way."

"Well," she said. "You did manage get here right before we leave." She pulled on his tie and nuzzled his nose which made him stand up straight and all of a sudden full of energy.

The fox looked away, blushing and cleared his throat. "Ahem… Just remember I'm doing this just for the blueberries."

"Suuure," she said sarcastically. She knows it wasn't true. Well, almost. He was doing it for two things. The blueberries. And her…

And so, the train departed for BunnyBurrow and the couple were sitting close to each other. Nick was looking at his phone as usual and Judy was listening to some music, laying on his shoulder.

He noticed this. She looked so peaceful. He smiled gently and puts his phone away. He took one side of her earphone which she noticed this. He didn't say anything and just decided to listen to whatever it is she's listening.

"Lovefool," Nick said. "By the Carnivores." ('The Carnivore' is a parody of 'the Cardigans'. Those guys are classic, highly recommend you guys and gals to listen.)

Judy smiled and cuddled him. Nick has never actually behave like this before. And she was happy of how he was actually enjoying the song with her.

She even sang softly for his amusement. She sounded beautiful. Like a voice only an angel can have. The couple was already having a good time on the way to her hometown.

After 3 or 4 songs, they have arrive to their destination. Judy looked out the window and saw her whole family was already waiting outside for her. Even Gideon Grey was there. She smiled and grabbed Nick's paw. "Come on, Nick."

He sighed, and hoped for the best. The two exited the train together with their belongings and the first thing Judy did was hugged her parents.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Hey hey, Jude the Dude, look at you!" Stu said, rubbing his daughter's head. "You've gotten a little taller too!"

"And, we can't wait to finally meet your boyfriend," Bonnie said.

Nick came towards them slowly, a little nervous. Judy's parents turned to him and he waved shyly. "Hi," he said.

"Um, hello there," Stu said, smiling awkwardly.

"Mom, Dad," Judy said, coming over to Nick and holding his paw. "This is Nick… He's my boyfriend."

Her whole family stared at her, a little surprised that a fox was her boyfriend.

"Well, welcome to BunnyBurrow, Mr. Wilde!" said Gideon Grey, coming towards the couple and offered Nick some pie. "Blueberry pie?"

Nick smiled and took it gratefully. "Oh why thank you. And 'Nick' will do fine. No need for last names."

"It's actually great to finally meet another fox in BunnyBurrow. Especially Red foxes like myself."

"Tell me about it," Nick joked. "There's actually another fox in Zootopia but he's a Fennec. Glad to finally see a Red fox too."

Nick and Gideon were already becoming friends. They were laughing, and making jokes. This actually made Judy smiled because she was happy that Nick was already getting along with someone.

Stu tugged on the sleeve on his daughter. "A fox?!" he whispered. "This Nick is a fox?!"

"Oh come now, Stu," Bonnie said. "I'm sure he'll fit well with the family. Gid has already become like part of the family."

"Gid and him are two different animals."

"Guys, guys, guys," Judy interrupted. "Nick is sweet. You'll see. We've been dating for months now and I'm sure you both will love him."

"How did you even meet him anyway?" Stu asked.

"Long story."

Nick returned to them, eating a slice of the blueberry pie. "Mmmm! Gideon makes the best pie!" He offered the rest to Judy and her parents. "You guys want some?"

"Not now, Nick," Judy said, giving him a gentle smile.

He decided to go to her siblings who was staring at him. He smiled at them and rubbed one of them on the head.

At first, they were scared of him. They have never seen another fox so they weren't so use to it just yet. He brought the polystyrene box over to them and opened it. Inside were tons of pawpsicles, still frozen and freshly made.

He took one out and offered it to one of the little bunnies.

"Pawpsicle?" he said.

The little bunny took it nervously and eats it. She smiled at the sweet cherry flavored pawpsicle melting in her mouth.

Nick took out some more. "Anyone else want some?"

The bunnies all crowded around him as he offered all of them one each. He even offered one to Gideon who he was thankful for the blueberry pie. Gideon and the kids were enjoying their pawpsicles. It's very rare to eat something as cold as those in BunnyBurrow after all.

While Judy and her parents were still talking, Nick came towards them and offered her parents pawpsicles too.

"Pawpsicles, sir? Ma'am?" he asked nicely.

"Not now, boy," Stu said.

"Stu, he's our guest. And we have to be neighborly to all our guest."

Stu hesitated at first but took it angrily while Bonnie accepted Nick's offer.

"But don't try to think that…" he was cut short when he was swept away by the taste of the ice candy.

"It's cherry," Nick said.

Judy's parents were starting to take a shine towards Nick. Stu though, just can't seem admit that.

Judy smiled. She also noticed that her siblings and Gideon were already enjoying their pawpsicles too. She looked at Nick. "So that's what the box was for, huh?"

"And the reason why I got to the station late," Nick added.

She punched him playfully. "Dumb fox."


The Hopps resident

The door to the guest room opened slowly and Bonnie showed Nick around. "You can use this room," she said. "We've never had anyone else stayed over before so you're actually the first."

He put down his bag. "Thank you so much, ma'am," he said.

"Are you sure you don't want to sleep in Judy's room?"

He blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Aha, about that. We… Never actually decided when yet… So I don't think that will be necessary."

"Such a gentlefox," Bonnie was very proud of her daughter's todfriend. Just when she closed the door, Judy was already on her way to Nick's room. "He's such a sweetie," Bonnie whispered. "He's a keeper."

She blushed and smiled. "Thanks again, mom."

She opened the door slowly and peeked in.

Nick's ear moved when he heard the door opened. He turned and a sly smile appeared. "Well, well," he said. "I didn't know you were a peeping tom."

"Pfffbbbtt." She closed the door behind her while he just lay in bed. She joined him afterwards, laying on top of him, resting her head on his chest. "You doing okay so far…?"

He rubbed her back looking up at the ceiling. "Yea. Your family's really nice, even your dad. And Gideon's an awesome baker."

She grabbed for his paw and held it tight while she relaxed on him. "Glad you're enjoying it so far."

He faced down on her and kissed her head which made her giggled.

The two were exhausted from the trip and they just wanted to rest for a while. What better way to relax than relaxing with the one you love most right?

"Nick…" Judy finally spoke up.

"Hm?" he answered, still looking up at the ceiling.

"When we get back to Zootopia… Do you… Maybe…"

"Yea?"

She blushed at what she was about to say and hide her face in his chest, tugging on his shirt.

"Come on, Carrots." He finally looked at her. "You can tell me anything, you know that."

She slowly brought up her head to face him. "Do you… Wanna move in with me… Once we get back…?"

Nick sat up and kissed her cheek and whispered closely. "How can I reject such an offer?" he said sexily that made her blush as red as a tomato.

"You pervert!" she whispered angrily and playfully smacks him.

He just laughed and held her close. "But in all seriousness, sure."

Judy smiled slowly. She's been feeling kind of lonely lately. The only company she had were her noisy neighbors that barely ever talked to her. For once, having someone else with her would be nice. Especially when that someone is someone you're very close to.

She slowly pulled away from his embrace and kiss his cheek. "I'm gonna go take a bath," she said.

"Can I join?"

"Nick!"

He chuckled and lay back down on bed. "You know I was just kidding."


That night

Nick has never had dinner with a lot of animals before. This was his first time having dinner with 2 parents, his doefriend, and her 275 siblings.

The little ones were hopping around. Some were behaving at their side of the table and some were even playing with Nick's tail. But Nick didn't mind though. They seem to enjoy snuggling into it a lot. He watched them running around and playing around the house.

"They're very energetic," Nick said.

"You'll be surprise," Judy replied drinking her carrot soup.

"So, tell us about yourself, Nick," Bonnie said.

"There's… Not much to talk about," he said.

"I bet you're just a pawpsicle seller aren't you?" Stu added, sounding a little upset.

"Stu, shush," Bonnie asked.

"Actually," Nick continued. "I was one. I still make pawpsicles whenever I get hungry."

"And why would my Judy fall for you?" Stu asked.

"Stu!"

"What? I was asking."

Nick chuckled. "Long story short. Your daughter got me involve with something I'm not."

"And, there was no regret was there?" Judy added.

"Nope. Well… Except the first time. But I was glad it happened."

"Oh that's very sweet. But how did you two meet?" Bonnie asked.

The couple stared at each other awkwardly and chuckled.

"I tricked her into buying a Jumbo Pop," Nick answered.

"Aha!" Stu immediately got off his seat and pointed his spoon towards Nick.

"But I was glad he did," she quickly cut in. "Otherwise…" She stared at Nick who was eating his green peas and smiled. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have met him."

"Still though," Stu protested. "He's a fox."

"Interspeciesm is already legal in Zootopia, sir," Nick said.

"But for a prey/predator relationship too? I definitely did not expect that."

"Oh calm down, Stu," Bonnie interrupted. "I'm sure Nick would be a perfect son for us."

Nick and Judy, who was drinking their glass of water, choked in surprised and they both started coughing.

"Er…" Judy blushed. "It's a little too early to talk about marriage don't you think…?"

Nick coughed a little more. "Y-yea…" He looked away at the kids playing.

"So, Nick," Bonnie said. "How's about you and Stu pluck some blueberries tomorrow?"

Nick's ears immediately stood up and answered, "Of course."

"No," Stu insisted. "That won't be necessary. I can do it myself, Bon."

"Think of this as a father/son bonding, Stu."

"Come on, dad," Judy joined in the conversation. "At least you'll get to know what Nick is like. Please?"

Stu hesitated and looked at his wife and daughter. They were serious and he reluctantly answered, "Okay, okay. Tomorrow then."

Judy smiled at her todfriend which he offered a smile back to her.


A/N: Holy crab… My back hurts… Anyway, here it is. Planning to continue this in chapters. Cuz I feel like this one will be the big one for me. I actually didn't expect this to come out so well. So yea. Expect the next chapter as soon as possible. When? No idea. I'm not psychic.

Anyway, the cover is an illustration of the scene where Nick and Judy were on their way to BunnyBurrow. It's in my tumblr as usual. Ciao.
