Here is where our story begins...

As the two young mammals left the restaurant, Nick opened his umbrella with one paw and with his other arm he slightly opened it and addressed the little bunny to hold on to it. 

"Thank you Mr. Wilde," said the little doe.

"Hey what have we just talk about?"

"Oh, oops. I'm so sorry Nicholas, Nick. Ughhh!!! I AM SO SORRY, NICK," begged Judy and lowered her head.

Then Nick starts to snort and laugh.

"Hahaha, oh my... Ooff. Oh, Judy, it's all right. I mean we nearly meet, so it's okay." He said as they walked back to the cemetery.

 "Oh, okay..." She replied. While she looked back up she realized they were going back to the cemetery, so she decided to stop her own tracks.

When Nick felt a sudden tug in his arm he looked back at the small doe, who looked down and began shutting her eyes that were filled with sadness and tears. 

As he realized what was going on he asked, "where do you live?"

 With a dumb founded face she said, " huh? "

 "Where do you live?" Said the kind fox.

 "Um, I live in bunny burrow."

 As the fox mumbled he said, " that's a little far from this place, " then he looked back at Judy, "Well shall we?"

 " Huh? Are you wanting to take me home? " asked Judy.

 "Yeah, so you won't be walking back I home soaking wet from here to the bullet train and back to bunny burrow. So, what do you say?"

 " Yes please. " After all she would be happier if someone to accompany her than having to see perverted bunnies looking at her from time to time.

Within an hour and a half, they arrived to the Hopps residence in bunny burrow.

While Judy walked towards the door, she paused and turned and said, "Thank you, Nick," then she extended her paw, but when Nick was about to shake it, a strike of lightning hit the ground near by and caused Judy to freak out and jumped towards Nick. Judy then hugged Nick tightly while shaking in fear.

Surprised at her sudden action, he froze for a few moments just to capture on what he just saw. Then he slowly wrapped his right arm around her, just to comfort her and his other paw holding the umbrella. When Judy felt a sudden warmth around her she looked up to see that Nick was hugging her with his eyes closed and his head on top of hers. Then Judy lowered her head back down and hurried her flushed face into his chest. And here is where our story begins...
