"Hi, Benjamin, it's good to see you too!" I replied pleasantly back to him with a warm smile. "JUDY! NICK! IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE YOU GUYS!" We pulled into the station, walked in, and were greeted by Clawhauser yelling our names. Again, I stopped myself from thinking about him. Sure, we were friends now, but the way he always took everything as a joke sort of bothered me. As we were driving, I couldn't help but think about my relationship with Nick. "Nope, nothing at all Carrots." He shot me that signature smirk of his, the one where he looks like he knows something I don't. I saw him shot a look at the dangling carrot charm hanging from my rearview mirror, and he snicked a bit. "Me, nervous?" I shot him a questioning look. "Hey Partner!" Nick said, hopping into my car with a grin on his face. "No," I said to myself, shaking the thought from my head, "I can't think about that, not on the job." It was a bit weird seeing him in a uniform instead of his Hawaiian shirt and khakis, he looked almost….handsome. I pulled up to Nick's apartment complex, and to my surprise, saw that he was fully dressed in uniform, and ready to go. I grabbed my apartment keys and phone, and headed down to the lobby to wait for Judy. Another, well I didn't want to lose the friendship we already had. For one, I'm a fox and she's a rabbit, not exactly your typical couple. Despite how close I felt to her, my feelings were something I was scared to share. That and those lovely lilac eyes of hers. Still, she felt somewhat closed off, always so stern and official, but her optimism and rigor was something I loved about her. There was something special about her, something that had always intimidated me, but at the same time, her loving and emotional side was something I had never really felt in my life. Even thinking about her created butterflies in my stomach. Judy was supposed to pick me up at 8, and I knew being late would only put her in a huffish mood for the rest of the day, so I got up about an hour earlier. Puffing my chest out slightly, I had to admit, I preferred this look over my green Hawaiian shirt. Looking at myself in the mirror, I admired my clean, pristine police uniform, and my gleaming ZPD badge. And, of course, I wanted to impress Judy. I wanted to make a good impression on the first day, especially since some animals weren't exactly….happy with a fox being a police officer. I had laid out my uniform the night before, nice and neatly, and shined my badge and shoes profusely.
