The desert heat shimmers off Sahara Square's golden dunes, neon signs flickering against a hazy afternoon sky. A ZPD cruiser hums past palm-lined streets, its engine a low purr. Inside, Nick Wilde lounges in the passenger seat, sunglasses hiding his smirk. Officer Judy Hopps grips the wheel, ears twitching as she waits for a green light. A few weeks since Bellwether fell, and the city breathes easy. Nick glances over, voice casual: "So carrots, any thoughts on what we're gonna grab for lunch yet?" Judy hums, then replies, "I could go for Pizza? I heard a new spot just opened up." She turns, eyes meeting his.
