Zootopia One-Shots

The Bet

Nick Wilde was a sarcastic, wise cracking, and cocky fox. Nick embraced this personality and loved to annoy people with it. "Who was the person he enjoyed pestering the most?" you may ask. It was none other than Judy Hopps, his partner in crime, or better yet, his partner in justice. Nick and Judy were cops with the ZPD and they loved their jobs. They would spend eight hours a day together; for Judy this meant eight hours of sarcastic remarks. It was funny, for the first ten minutes. Nick had a sarcastic remark or a joke about everything she or anyone else said. For example: If you lost your bed sheet, Nick would say, "Well, I guess he lost his 'sheet'!" This was only the beginning of the things he would say. If you lost your keys, Nick had something smart to say about it. You didn't get a good night's sleep, Nick had a joke about it. Your relative was put in the ICU, Nick had wise crack about it. Admittedly, it was kinda funny, but it did get old. Eventually, it got old for Judy when he called her a different nickname every time he talked to her. So one day, she decided to retaliate.

It was a fine Monday morning in Zootopia and Judy Hopps bounced happily into the police station, eager as ever to begin the week.

"Well, it looks like my carrot has turned into a jumping bean," Nick said as she walked into the station.

"Nope! I'm just excited to begin the work week!" Judy said with a smile.

"I'm excited to," Nick said.

"Really?" Judy asked.

"You bet Fluff, I'm excited about Friday."

"Nick, you really can't take anything serious can you?"

Suddenly, the intercom in the office cracked to life, "All officers report to the briefing room."

"Well, let's go listen to Chief Buy-One-Get-One ramble on about our mistakes," Nick said with a smirk.

"Nick, at least pretend to have some respect for the Chief," Judy said.

They entered the briefing room and Chief Bogo stood in front of the officers to give them their assignments for the day.

"Hopps and Wilde, parking duty," the Chief said.

"Ha, he said 'duty'," Nick whispered in Judy's ear.

"Shut it Wilde!" the Chief quipped.

"Yes ma- er sir," Nick said with a smirk.

"Hopps, Wilde, just go..." the Chief said with a facepalm.

The two made their to the meter maid cart and climbed inside.

"Nick, if you would stop harassing the Chief we might get something other than parking duty!" Judy exclaimed.

"You're probably right Carrots, but it would make my days a lot less fun," Nick said.

"I'd swear Nick! You can't go two minutes without making a smart alack remark!"

"I can too!"

"I bet you can't make it a week without making some wise guy comment."

"I smell a bet coming on."

"Yeah, lets make it a bet. No wise cracks for a week, that includes no nicknames."

"Okay, what are the stakes?"

"If I win you have to wear a vixen's underwear for a week. If you win I'll wear you cologne for a week."

"A vixen's underwear! That's the best you can come up with?"

"You have to change in the locker room, people are going to see them."

"Alright, its a bet!"

The duo shook hands and began their work day.

Time Skip To Next Day

Nick had done fairly well through the first day, he had the most problems with the nickname, but he wold catch himself before he slipped up. Clawhauser noticed that Nick wasn't making any jokes and decided that something was wrong so he asked Judy.

"Hey Judy," Clawhauser said as she walked into the station, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure!" Judy said.

"Is Nick okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine. Why do you ask?"

"I've noticed he hasn't made any jokes lately and I was concerned about him."

"Oh, that's because we have a bet and he isn't allowed to make jokes as part of it or he has to wear a vixen's underwear."

Now in case you didn't know, everything new that Clawhauser learns about anyone is spread across the entire city in a matter of seconds. Therefore, the entire department, even the Chief, knew about Nick and Judy's bet before the morning meeting had begun. The chief walked in and took the podium.

"Hopps, Wilde parking duty," Bogo said.

"Yes sir," Nick said as he walked out to the cart.

"Hmm, no wise cracks from officer Wilde today? I believe the world is still turning."

The other officer laughed at this.

Time Skip Until One Day Before the Bet Ends

Nick was miserable. He had made no smart remarks nor had he called anyone any nickname for the past week. The other officers constantly pestered him and attempted to make him slip up. He couldn't wait until tomorrow. He and Judy were on patrol when Judy suddenly spoke.

"So Nick, how are you feeling?" Judy said.

"Like I could die," Nick said.

"Only one more day," Judy said.

"You bet Carrots, one more day and you get to smell like a fox," Nick realized what he said and put his hands over his mouth.

Judy donned a mischievous smirk and said, "I'll pick out the underwear."

The next day, Nick walked into the locker room to get dressed. Lo and behold, so did every other male officer in the precinct. Judy had told Clawhauser about Nick losing the bet the night before so all the officers wanted to see Nick's new underwear. Nick changed into his shirt and then he slowly undone the button on his pants. He pulled them off to reveal pink and black zebra striped vixen's underwear. The entire room broke out into laughter and Nick look a LOT redder than normal. His heart nearly stopped when he heard the sound of a shutter go off and he turned to see Clawhauser holding his phone.
