“Wow, this ship must be bigger than Zootopia!”, I comment to Judy.
“I know.”, Judy halfheartedly says. She then goes up to Connie, Steven’s friend. “Connie, I’ve heard that you’re always protecting Steven, like a knight. Please teach me how to swordfight like you!!”, Judy begs Connie. I put a paw protectively on her shoulder.
“Carrots… are you sure? I mean, with your problem and all---”, I start to say, but she cuts me off.
“Nick, I’m fine. I haven’t had one since I left Zootopia.”, Judy says. They then head to the practice arena, with me, Ben, and Steven sitting in the stands.

“Amazing job, Judy!!!”, Ben cheers. We then start walking back towards the main hall, when all of a sudden, Judy collapses. “Judy!”, Ben cries out, and starts running for her. I hold him back.
“What the hell are you doing, Nick? I’m trying to help!!”, Ben angrily says.
“Don’t touch her, or else she’ll bleed out in a matter of seconds!!”, I yell. PVZBrony runs up and teleports her to the infirmary ward. We start running there. A few minutes later, we’re both sitting in the infirmary ward, waiting for the results on Judy’s tests. I start to cry.
“Why? Why did you do this to her?”, I sob.
“I didn’t even know she HAD a problem! She never told me!!”, Ben defends himself.
“She didn’t?”, I ask. Ben nods his head. I start tearing up again.
“I don’t know why she didn’t tell you, because she obviously loves YOU more than me!! Why WOULD she love me, anyways? I’m just a shifty, sly, stinking fox!!!”, I half cry, half scream at him. In an instant, Ben strides across the room and picks me up by the shirt.
“Nicholas Wlide, you have no idea how much she cares about you.”, Ben angrily says.
“Really? How do YOU know that?”, I rage. My vision’s starting to redden from anger.
“When you got to Equestria, you were in a package that Judy opened up. You were covered with burns. We rode Rainbow Dash all the way to Beach City to heal you up. She didn’t let me carry you for even ONE second. And when we got back from Beach City, while you were slowly regaining consciousness, Judy barely ate and didn’t sleep at all. She went for 28 hours, because she didn’t want to leave your side. She wanted to be the first thing that you saw when she woke up. And while we were flying back, she told me she loved me because I reminded her a lot of you.”, Ben told me. We then both start crying. The Luma comes back in.
“She’ll be fine.”, the Luma says.
“What about me being a fox? You threatened me the first time we met.”, I ask. Ben half laughs, half howls.
“When Judy saw you, she instantly became suspicious. Generally, I don’t believe in stereotypes, but I mostly believed the fox stereotype.”, Ben explains.
“What parts of it did you believe?”, I carefully ask.
“I believed that foxes were sly, sneaky, crafty, clever... I kinda liked that. Sometimes, I feel like a fox better suits me than a wolf.”, Ben responds. I hug him.
“You’re like the brother I never was looking for, but found!”, I happily say.
“Plus, if you had paid for that jumbo pop with your own money, she wouldn’t have been quite as mad at you.”, Ben adds. We laugh.
