On a peaceful Saturday evening in Zootopia, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps were sitting together at an ice cream parlour near the ZPD Headquarters. For Nick, it was a blueberry delight (with coffee on the side) and for Judy, a banana split.
So Carrots, still thinking of going to the Beachside Boys concert tomorrow? Nick asked Judy.
You bet I am. Although I never listened to many bands growing up in the burrows, Beachside Boys never failed to make me feel the rhythm. Father of course was a little disapproving of my choices but that's business as usual for parents like him I guess.
I bet he certainly was. I guess there's some truths to the cliche that people in the countryside tends to be more conservative across the board.
Then, as if on a cue, Judy noticed a familiar face. It was none other than Benjamin Clawhauser and he too was helping himself on a ice cream, this one made from a coconut.
Hey Ben, over here! Judy yelled to get Clawhauser's attention.
Who said that? Clawhauser wondered.
He glanced at the nearby tables and to his delight saw Nick and Judy in their own table. Absolutely ecstatic, he at once rose from his table in order to greet his favourite officers.
No way, this can't be a coincidence! I didn't know you like ice cream too, Judy and Nicky-boy!
Nick could only groan at that nickname. He didn't know why Clawhauser picked it up but despite his protests, it quickly became a permanent part of his vocabulary.
Glad that you're alive and well. How's your vacation so far, Clawhauser? Judy asked.
It's going pretty well, actually. Visited my cousins last weekend and today I'm considering to hit one of my favourite beach spots for a week. Wanna come with me?
No thanks. Perhaps some other time if you will. Judy said.
Yeah. And we already promised to visit Judy's family in the Burrows. Nick added.
It's ok. Everyone of us have their own itineraries after all. Oh my goodness, look at the time. Here I am, eating ice cream and talking with you when I should already be at the airport. With luck, I should be able to catch a cab and be there on time. See you later Judy and Nicky-boy! I'll promise to send you lots of photos!
Clawhauser hurriedly left the parlour, his ice cream left unfinished on the table to the amusement of Nick and Judy. They always said that the guy should be more careful about the calories. After the duo finished their ice creams, they then went to their respective homes with the promise of meeting again on Zootopia Central station at 10:00 AM Sharp.
