Christmas Strolling [Judy's POV]

Yeah, I have no idea what the expect with this one. I'm just going along with the pictures on my iPad and finding a suitable storyline for all of them. So, I apologise if it's rubbish. I may have changed it around a bit but it mainly resembles the picture.

I skipped down the street happily as the different shops all sparkled in the sunlight. Blankets of snow covered both the roads and the roofs of Zootopia and I was actually happy that it was like this. Zootopia was normally a very beautiful place in the winter, and today was no exception. Well, it would've been perfect if it weren't for Nick traipsing around behind me like a moody teenager.

"I appreciate you coming with me, Nick," I said, turning around to face him.

He looked just as moody as he did the last time I checked on him, and I didn't know why. Christmas was usually a time for happiness and I was expecting him to get into the spirit of things before it to make it perfect for himself. I even tried cheering him up by buying him early Christmas gifts but even that didn't work! I'm not saying that he wasn't grateful, because he really was. But it still didn't change his mood.

"That's the fourth time you've said that to me since we came out here, Carrots," Nick said bluntly as he continued walking with his hands in his pockets.

"But that's the fourth time I've seen you looking so miserable," I said, my brows knitting together in worry. "And I don't like it!"

"Look, Hopps, I just don't like Christmas, ok?" Nick snapped, looking down at me in annoyance.

"Why?" I asked sadly, looking back up at him. "Everybody likes Christmas!"

"Well I don't. I just hate the coldness, and the jolly animals, and the typical busyness of the streets," he grumbled, looking around at everyone around us. "It's just irritating."

Suddenly, I got a bright idea. Over all of the early presents I gave him, none of them were personal enough to make Nick think there was someone who actually cared for him. Christmas was a time for family, and Nick didn't have one. So, I was going to personalise a present for him. And it was going to be amazing.

{On Christmas Day}

I rushed up to Nick's apartment, still adjusting my boot as I knocked on the door frantically, clutching his present under my arm. Eventually, Nick opened the door and, to my surprise, he was already up and dressed. Good to know I hadn't woken him.

"Merry Christmas!" I beamed, handing him his present.

"Judy, another present?" He asked in disbelief.

I nodded proudly as I put my hands behind my back, bouncing up and down on my toes.

"Now I feel bad for only getting you one," he chuckled as he took a step to the side, letting me in.

He closed the door behind me and put his present down on the couch. I sat down next to it, making sure the wrapping and everything was perfect before Nick came back over, handing me a present of my own before sitting down next to me.

"Open yours first," he said, tilting his head towards the small package in my hands.

I looked down at the present and noticed that it was wrapped up in carrot wrapping paper, which I found very funny. Despite the fact it was small, I still loved it, even though I had no idea what it was. I carefully unwrapped the present, making sure not to rip the paper as it looked really nice. Inside was a carrot phone case, which made me laugh out loud before I even knew it.

"Nick, this is awesome!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around his neck in a hug.

"Glad you like it," he chuckled, hugging me back before I let go and pointed to his present.

"Open it!" I insisted, jumping up and down in my seat.

"Ok, ok, calm down Carrots," Nick smirked as he opened the thin present in his hands. Inside was a picture frame, but not just any picture frame. A personalised one. The frame especially was special. The frame was a huge collage of pictures of Nick and I that we've taken over the past few years, all of which I saved into one folder on my computer, just to make him that photo frame.

I watched in excitement as he picked it up and examined the frame in awe.

"Judy..." He began, but couldn't finish. "This is amazing! How did you do this?"

"Easy, really. I made the frame shape on my computer then inserted the pictures, then sent it off to a manufacturer," I answered, beaming in delight.

"I love it!" He exclaimed, hugging me suddenly.

I hesitated at first but soon hugged him back tighter, only causing him to hug me tighter.

"Best Christmas ever," he whispered into my ear before pulling back.

Eh...

As a person who doesn't really like Christmas herself, I can say that this one went pretty well! Hope you all enjoyed it! Also, be sure to check out my other story "Six Months". It is, of course, a Judy x Nick fanfiction that I think is going really well, seeing as I spent three hours last month planning it out. 😜
