Nick and Judy came into work together. Benjamin, who was munching on his donuts noticed. "Huh? Are you two an item now or something?"
                          
"W-What?!" Judy stammered. "It's not like that!"
                          
"Yeah? So what if we are?" Nick interrupted.
                          
Judy's cheeks became terribly red. "Don't say that! Are you crazy?!"
                          
Nick shoved his hands into his pockets and bend over to her height. "Carrot-top, you seem like you're embarrassed."
                          
Judy couldn't hide how she felt at the point. She exposed herself to vulnerability. "As if." She scoffed and walked away.
                          
"You got the hots for Officer Hopps?" Benjamin asked.
                          
"Let's just keep that a secret between you and me." Nick grinned.
                          
	Catching up to Judy, Nick began to walk at her pace. "So what are you rushing off to?"
                          
"Well, we have a case to follow up on."
                          
"Oh? Looks like I did miss something."
                          
Judy received some files from the investigation room, handing them to Nick. "What's this?"
                          
"That's our case. Let's go."
                          
	Sitting in Judy's office, Nick stared at the papers. "Daniel Camo...?"
                          
"Yeah, a former con artist who likes to manipulate business and take money." Judy explained.
                          
"That's what it's all about." Nick agreed.
                          
"It's a good thing you're on my side now."
                          
"It's an honor." Nick cheesed.
                          
	An hour into reading the files, Nick discovered some clues. "So Daniel affiliates with drug addicts...he preys on huge companies and steals from markets." Nick pulled out the photo. "And this is him."
                          
	Daniel was an attractive hyena that seemed to be around Nick's age.
                          
"He looks like he gets babes..."
                          
Judy glared at Nick in disgust. "N-Not that I'm saying that I wanna be one of them."
                          
"Gross!" Judy giggled.
                          
A fade smile grew on Nick's face. "I'm glad that you aren't mad at me anymore."
                          
"Hey? Who said?" Judy questioned.
                          
"You did." Nick grinned.
                          
"I never said I was over it!" She argued.
                          
"But you did say that you weren't that mad at me anymore. So it still counts, Carrot-top."
                          
Judy sucked her teeth and continued examining as Nick stood next to her with his usual smug grin.
                          
	After work, Nick offered Judy to take her on a date.
                          
"Would you go out with me?"
                          
"Go out with you were?"
                          
"I dunno, maybe to the pub."
                          
Judy gasped. "As cops, we should be setting the example for our fellow mammal civilians!"
                          
Nick groaned. "Meh...then that'd be boring. Besides, it's not bad for cops to go to bars. It's just they should over do it." Nick corrected.
                          
Judy couldn't argue with his reasonableness. "Alright, but just this once."
                          
	Nick and Judy sat at a table at the Bears n Cubs Pub.
                          
"I'd like to have an order of chicken and fries with root beer. And for you?"
                          
Judy looked down at the menu. "...uh." She looked up at Nick shaking her head.
