The end credits of the movie 'Wreck-it Rhino' are scrolling down Nick's TV screen.
"Did you enjoy it?" Judy asks, while stretching her arms.
"Yes, it was cute." Nick answers and begins to scratch his neck.
"You really like this word, don't you?" Judy replies, with an open smile.
"Well, you don't allow me to use it for you, so every other opportunity is good." He says, while scratching harder and trying to reach a lower spot.
"Nick, is there something wrong with your neck?
"No, it's just itchy, it happens sometimes, don't worry about it."
"Do you want me to help you? I can see you can't reach every itchy part."
"You wouldn't mind?"
"I read somewhere that canines like to be scratched."
"Well, I don't want to pry into your readings, Miss Bunny, but I can't help being curious..."
"Hey, it was just some kind of magazine."
"Whatever, it's true, so can you scratch just over there?"
"Here?" She asks.
"Yes, it's good, thank you, I feel better."
"But I can't do it well, your shirt is in the way."
"Straightforward, aren't we? I don't let anybody undress me, without being invited to dinner before, you know. I'm not an easy boy."
"Har har, very funny. I just want to help you but I won't insist if you don't agree."
"I know, besides, it would be stupid to refuse such a kind offer from my best friend." Nick says while unbuttoning his shirt.
"Is it better now?" Judy says, while scratching his bare back.
"Yes, keep going." He replies, with a low-pitched whine.
"You're making weird noises, you know."
"Hey don't make fun of me, I'm just happy."
"Still, you're weird... You're like a pup."
"Don't you know there's one pup in every male?"
"Speak for yourself..."
"You know you love me."
"This is getting old."
"You still like it."
"True, you're fortunate you met me because I can handle your antics."
"You wound me, I'm actually well aware of your preciousness, my dear Carrots."
"Oh, aren't you adorable? You're so smooth, how can you still be a single fox?" Judy says, while chuckling.
"Maybe because I'm too perfect for my own good?"
"Well after saying this, you just lost all of your good points. You should have said: 'too smug for my own good'."
"A little bit of self-confidence can't do any harm."
"Please, you're already a master in this area. Is your back still itchy?"
"I think it's good, thanks."
"Hum, I… , well..."
"Go on, what do you want to tell me? Is it that embarrassing?"
"Not really, it's just that I also read that canines enjoy a lot being scratched under the chin..."
" Did you read a "how to please a canine" sort of book?"
"Hey no, it was just an article."
"You know I can do this on my own, it's easy to reach..."
"OK, I'll get right to the point: I want to do this. Scratching you is relaxing and nice for me too, it's an overwhelming sensation. Your fur is so thick, it's very different from mine and I like it."
"I see, you fell in love with my fur, weirdo..."
"I'm not a weirdo. Rabbits are often affectionate and natural huggers."
"So, the fault is in your species, what an easy way to excuse yourself..."
"You always want to have the final say, you're insufferable!"
"Only because you don't know when to quit yourself..."
"Don't try changing the topic, you still haven't answered my question! You have to acknowledge you didn't say no."
"Clever bunny, you know I can't say no to you. When you get what you want, your smile is so bright I would be disappointed to miss it."
"Charming fox, enough talking now, raise your head so I can reach your scruffy chin."
"Hey, I'm a well-groomed fox, thank you very much."
"Are you sure? You're so itchy, maybe you have fleas?"
"Mean bunny, I retract every praise I gave to you."
"Don't be so dramatic, I want to make up to you. Be prepared for the best scratching you ever experienced!"
"Wow, now you're overreacting."
Nick lays himself on the couch, then lifts his head to let her have full access under his chin. Judy begins to scratch and stroke.
"Mmmm, I must concede I'm having a great time." He says, purring.
"You know I always keep my word." She replies, with a smug face.
"Thank you Fluff, I can get used to this." Nick says, while buttoning his shirt.
"No problem, I enjoyed it as much as you. Unfortunately, my paws smell like fox now." Judy replies, looking disgusted.
"Is it that bad?" He asks, his eyes full of despair.
"Gotcha! It's so funny to see Mr 'things don't get to me anymore' being upset." She says, adopting Nick's tone of voice.
"Sly bunny." He acknowledges, defeated.
So, I still can't believe I dare to publish my first fan fiction. I read so many of them it was probably bound to happen one day.
I first watched the movie nearly 1 year ago and I wasn't prepared for it. I thought it would be funny but forgettable. The truth is that I really enjoyed the movie and that it is now my favorite Disney movie (if not my favorite movie ever). Why? I don't particularly like movies with animals or mysteries. I think it's a happy combination of lots of different things such as lovable characters, great chemistry, humor, great original fantastic world, social issues. It's an interesting movie but it is still cute and funny. I have to concede I probably wouldn't be so thrilled about it without the fandom and its great fan art and fan fictions. Those enhance the amazing possibilities of the movie.
I want to apologize if there are any mistakes because English is not my first language. I actually learned a lot of new English words and expressions reading fan fictions!
