Judy's P.O.V

Usually being the smallest person at the ZPD meant being picked on.

Sure I was small and all and sure it was a little harder to get stuff done- but hey! I mean, not all predators are big huh?

Okay I'm specifically referring to my buddy Nick- sorry!

I used to think that all predators were big and all prey was small- okay yes he IS taller than me but compared to other predators? Yeah no.

Although he does tease me still about my height, it doesn't bother me; I know he's joking about it because he's my best friend!

Besides, he knows what it's like to be short anyway! Well... Compared to other officers anyways so I guess he just makes himself feel better by rubbing off on me.

I guess something clicked when he joined the police. Like yeah! He was a predator but he was also short!

GO LITTLE GUYS!

So ever since then, we have become a crime fighting team!!! Then and again two little guys ARE like one big guy.

Nick's P.O.V

I walked into the ZPD- that's Zootopia Police Department for those of you who don't know- it was yet another day.

Clawhauser was eating donuts- as per usual and what do you know? Carrot is standing right beside him... With a not so happy face...

Judy's P.O.V

I tapped my foot repeatedly as Nick walked over. "Hey Carrot! What's new?"

"Your late." I said.

"Oh... Right... Well I'm not THAT late... Only... 30 minutes late?" He grinned sheepishly.

I sighed. "I have no idea what I'm gonna do with you- everyone is waiting for you." I said, grabbing his paw and hopping off.

We both entered roll call as Bogo looked at us. He had been giving us a hard time lately due to Nick's uh... "Misadventures."
We sat down at the same seat and waited for him to assign jobs.

And we were left with meter maid. Okay I admit, Meter maid isn't the worst job out th- okay yes it is.

Nick knew that to by the look of his face.

We walked out of the room and made our way to the car. "Why do we ALWAYS get parking duty?" Nick sighed.

"Bogo obviously doesn't trust us." I answered.

"But why?!" Nick exclaimed, climbing into the driver's seat.

"Well for one you are always late-"

"Hang on just a second." Nick stopped me. "I'm not just late for no reason Carrot, the reason is because every morning there is a special mission call "eating breakfast"

I rolled my eyes. "And for two," I ignored his previous comments, "we are the shortest police in the department."

"So what?" Nick asked.

"That's my point." I persisted, "they don't think we are capable of handling stuff."

"But that's insane! We were the ones who caught Bellwether!!!" Nick huffed out in annoyance.

"Some things just don't change I guess..." I shrugged as we drove around the city.

"Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was treated the same? No one would care who is a predator or prey, how big or small or what species you are." I sighed, looking out the window.

"Yeah, it would." Nick agreed. I looked at him.

"Why haven't you quit? I mean, being a police officer obviously bothers you because people are-"

"Well, have I been bothered by it? Yes. I have but let me ask you this, why haven't you quit Carrot?" Nick cut me off.

"I guess because- wait a second... Did you just seriously answer my question with your question then answer that question?" I exclaimed.

"Taught you well." He smirked as we drove around some more.

"I was kinda hoping Bogo was joking about the whole meter maid thing but apparently no one else can do it." Nick said.

"Eh no matter I guess... Maybe tomorrow we can do some actual mission you know-" we were cut off by a car whizzing past us.

"WOAH!" You okay?" Nick asked as he slammed on the brake.

"Who was that?!" I asked "It can't be Flash again..."

"Nope that's not Flash- let's chase it!" Nick said, "FINALLY! Something interesting!"

We chased the car as it drove past the ZPD. "Pretty risky to be driving fast round here don't you think?" I asked.

"They probably are really desperate to get away..." Sirens could be heard behind us. Looking behind I saw a bunch of police cars.

"Or they are a serious criminal- at least 20 police cars are behind us!" I called.

We watched as the car stopped and a squirrel scurried out, pulling a black case with him.

"We won't make it if we go by car, we have to follow on foot!" Nick exclaimed, stopping the car and dragging me out.

Nick's P.O.V

We both followed the squirrel as it climbed over a fence. Other police officers had began to chase on foot as well, one including Bogo.

"You two shouldn't be here." Bogo said. "This criminal mastermind has stolen Zootopia's most prized possession."

"We can help!" Carrot yelled, hopping beside him.

"We got Bellwether, we can get this guy." I called out as we all climbed the fence the thief climbed mere seconds ago.

Carrot and I ran ahead of Bogo and the police crew, just in time to see the squirrel dive into a hole.

The squirrel was easy to catch, surrendering almost immediately under pressure and chucking us the case.

"That wasn't really hard." I pouted.

"So much for a criminal mastermind huh?" Carrot exclaimed as I leaned against her.

Her small body obviously wasn't strong enough to hold MY light weight so we fell to the floor.

"Geez Nick! You're heavy!" She giggled as she hopped up and stood on top of me. "VICTORY FOR ME!" She laughed.

The squirrel, who was already in handcuffs looked at us. "Did I seriously surrender for these buffoons?! WHERE'S THE REAL COPS?!" He screeched.

"For your information," I pointed at our badges, "we are police." I returned a smug face at him as he sighed.

"I wonder where Officer Bogo and the others are." Carrot looked at me. I nodded in thought.

As if to answer our question- which mind you is a cliche thing- they all come into the scene, screaming, complaining and panting.

Probably my life in a a nutshell...

Before I met Carrot that is!!!

Judy's P.O.V

It was an awkward few minutes until at least most of the trees in the area had been broken.

"Took ya guys long enough." Nick smiled.

"Yeah shut up." Officer Bogo retorted. "We all had to squish past these trees! Now the crook is all gone and your still smirking your tail off!"

"You better have a good reason for this..." Another officer called.

"Well unlike you, we caught the robber, see?" I pointed to the squirrel.

"Here's your case by the way." Nick said, chucking the black case over.

"But- what- h-how did you... You caught him so quickly!" Bogo exclaimed surprised.

"Yeah we did- I thought you guys were handling the situation?" Nick smirked, folding his arms.

"Admit it Bogo, you may be big but you won't always be able to do such jobs for us smaller folk." I hopped over and brought the squirrel to him.

Bogo handed the culprit to the officers and commanded them to retreat. He turned to us as we stared at him smirking.

"Okay I was wrong, happy?!" He sighed.

"I was wrong, happy?" His voice repeated.

"What?" He asked as Nick pulled out the infamous carrot pen.

"Ah the carrot pen, gotta thank Carrot for this one." Nick winked and repeated Bogo's words.

"I was wrong, happy?"

"Gah alright- you guys are off parking duty." He gave in.

"YAS!" I screamed and plunged into Nick, giving him a hug.

"You guys will be assigned tasks that everyone else gets- just give me that recording!" He exclaimed.

"I was wrong, happy?" Nick laughed.

"I dunno, we will see..." Bogo rolled his eyes and turned to leave before I heard the sound of something crunching. My attention was brought to the case the squirrel had stolen.

"Uh Bogo, what exactly did that squirrel steal? What ever is in that case is crunching."

Bogo looked at the case and opened it, breathing a smile of relief.

"Oh it's a paper document." Bogo showed us.

"And that's what we risked our jobs for?!" Nick dead planned. "Oh this world has gone nuts- I thought it was "Zootopia's most prized possession" he quoted.

"Oh yes it is! It belongs in the museum, it's the documentation of all the mayors, leaders, government and founders of Zootopia, we have no other copy of this." Bogo responded proudly.

"And you're proud you almost lost this paper?" I asked.

"No! I'm proud to have gotten it back!" He waved it around before placing it delicately back in the case.

Nick sighed. "Don't you think you could have, I dunno, taken a photo or have written the information somewhere else for a precaution?" He asked.

Bogo just looked at us before clearing his throat. "8am sharp, both of you, or parking patrol it is." And with that he trudged out.

Nick's P.O.V

I turned to look at Judy who was starting to walk back to the car. "I have no idea how this city works Carrot and I've been living in it for years."

"I dunno either Nick, " she laughed. "But maybe that's why I like Zootopia even more."

I looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"Well before I came here, I thought everything was perfect and Zootopia was a place where everyone's dreams come true, but it's not all its cut out to be. I mean Zootopia isn't perfect but that's probably what makes me love it even more than before."

I nodded at her words.

"I have to agree with you Carrot."

"Really?! That's a first." She commented.

"Nah I'm just pulling your tail- Zootopia is the craziest city I know, another day means another way." I replied as she hit my arm.

"Right because I haven't noticed Zootopia is crazy." Judy rolled her eyes.

"Yeah no this is probably just the beginning- good luck Carrot, you're gonna need it." I said.

"What ever." She grinned as we climbed in the car and started the engine.

"Okay if that's how you wanna be but you should be thanking me, with ought me you're just a dumb bunny in a big city!" I could tell I got to her when a loud pop was heard.

The car tilted slightly as we got out to inspect the tires. "Nice one Nick, smart to park a car directly over a porthole." Judy grinned.

I stared at the porthole baffled. "I uh meant to do that." I exclaimed.

"Are we sure it isn't you who is the dumb fox?" She laughed as she called for back up.
