40 Things That Nick Wilde Has Vowed To Never Do

#28

Alright! First request for the story! Woop wooo!

Our first request is no. 28.

Visiting Assistant Mayor Bellwether on a random day just so I could touch her fluffy wool.

This was requested by a fellow Zootopia fan,

This one's for you my fellow Kabayan! :)

What the hell has he got himself into?

It began with a simple game of chess. The smooth and clever Nicholas Wilde thought he could beat Judy at the classic board game. And he did. For three games in a row. It hadn't registered to the fox as to why she kept asking for a rematch.

And it was then, after the fourth and final draw, Judy made a wager.

Nick just chuckled passively and beckoned her to name her terms. She in turn smiled mischievously and assured him that he'll find out by the end of this game.

They both started off as usual. An aggressive opening and a patient mid game. And in the middle of that, Nick began to notice a few things. The way Judy moved her pieces were much more strategic. One by one all his pieces started to disappear.

Rook takes Knight.

Queen takes Bishop.

Queen takes King.

Checkmate.

Nick stared at board. Then glanced at Judy. And then back to board. And back to Judy again.

His face gave it all away; ears tucked against his skull, eyes wide in disbelief and an eyelid twitching feverishly.

Judy smirked with indulgence. And with her arms crossed about her chest in unmistakable pride, she drawled the seven words that inevitably became their own catchphrase:

"It's called a hustle  sweetheart."

The amount of the sweetness in her tone was lost in Nick. And eventually he sighed gruffly and tried to take his loss like a man.

"What do you want?"

He just had to ask.

And now, here he was. Inside City Hall, in front of a door with a crooked piece of paper taped on to it. Written were the words: 'Assistant Mayor Bellwether.'

"Well?" Judy stood next to him, "What are you waiting for?"

The fox gulped, "Okay, but I have some things I have to ask first."

"Fine. Go ahead."

He breathed deeply, "I know what I need to do."

As the bet clearly states: If Judy won, Nick will do anything she asks him to do. And what the rabbit demanded of him was so absurd, so devoid of logic that he questioned his partner's sanity.

Go to City Hall. Visit Dawn Bellwether, and then give the wool on top of her head a ten second touch.

When he had asked why, she refused to tell him.

Judy nodded, "Uh-huh. So?"

"Why the flowers?" Nick held the bouquet up in the air.

"They're honeysuckles." Judy plainly replied.

"Yeah. So?"

"Those are her favorite flowers." she explained. "If she gets mad you can say sorry."
