Judy smiled at her fellow workers, as she made her way into the rather large building she called work. She gripped, Nick's arm tightly in hers hoping to keep him from wondering off and telling everyone his business (a habit, he had that earned him rather weird looks and people questioning his and Judy's sanity). She approached the front desk to greet Ariel a rather nice looking badger whom Judy had talked with a few times.

"Please tell me they aren't here." Judy pleaded, as Ariel looked up from her paperwork. The badger bit her lip in worry and leaned closer.

"They're here, and so is their representative." She replied. Judy groaned, looking up to where she could see her clients whom stood arms crossed not having noticed her yet. She looked around spotting Nick, whom she let go, and was now looking into the fish tank. She turned to Ariel once again.

"Ariel, listen to me. You see that man over there," she pointed to Nick whom was watching the fish closely. Ariel nodded. "Look, he's not from here. Where he's from, I have no idea. But, I need you to find him a cab, or a hotel somewhere cheap, because I'm paying for it. But he needs to go, okay." She told the badger anxiously. The badger nodded, and Judy turned just to see the fox with a cup of water from the tank.

"No, Nick. Don't drink that, okay. Look this is Ariel, she's going to help you get home, alright." She said, and with that she left. Nick smiled at the badger, his cheeks puffed. Ariel looked at him weirdly and disgust as the fox suddenly leaned forward, spitting into the cup letting water and a fish come out.

"It's very nice to meet you, Madam." He said giving her a huge grin. Ariel smiled nervously, wondering what the actual hell was wrong with this mammal and whether she should call the nearest asylum.

What the hell is wrong with you, get away you creep, she wanted to say.

"Nice to meet you too." Slipped out instead.

Suddenly Judy appeared around the corner, with her clients Bucky and Pronk a kudu couple who were filing for divorce after twenty years of being together.

Nick grinned at the sight of Judy, and he hurried to her. Judy panicked, trying to lead the couple away as Nick suddenly spotted them.

"Hello, you have such beautiful antlers." He said touching Prank's head. The kudu, leapt away from Nick, staring at him.

"Uh, thanks pal." He said rather confused. Nick nodded.

"Oh, you're welcome. Whoever holds your heart, is very lucky." He said. Judy face pawed, while Pronk suddenly looked annoyed.

"Yeah well tell him that." The kudu spared a glance at his partner whom snorted.

"Excuse me?" He asked, rather irritated. Nick gasped, and Judy bit her nails in anxiety as Nick made his way toward the other kudu.

"Oh, you must be him. The one whom shares the heart of this lovely man. " He grabbed both kudu's hooves between his as he glanced between the two.

"Is she for real?" They both asked, and Judy hurried to intercept. She grabbed Nick's paw dragging him away, as the couple turned away in obvious discomfort.

"Nick you can't just-, look it's not like that for them. See, they're not going to be together anymore. They're getting a divorce." She explained, while Nick looked confused.

"A divorce?" He echoed.

"Yes, a divorce." The rabbit sighed, "Which means, they are going to be separated."

"Separated?" Nick asked, his ears lowering back behind his head as his eyes held despair and confusion.

"For how long?" He questioned. Judy looked to see the couple close-by and she hoped they weren't hearing the conversation between the two.

"Forever." She told the fox. He gasped, his eyes widening with sadness and he shook his head.

"Forever, why that is so sad." Judy shushed him, trying to get him to quiet as the fox caused many to look in their direction. She flinched, as the fox started sniffling, and she face pawed as she saw tears coming from his eyes.

"Is he crying? Is he really crying?" The kudu's asked Judy and she cringed. They stared as Nick cried, at their situation. Suddenly their representative came, and Judy could tell he was not happy. He pulled the rabbit to the side, as Nick sat at a spare couch sniffling and wiping his snout.

"What is going on, Judith. You tell me you're able to handle this case, and I give you it. But then I come to see, you're late and there's a fox with you who's sitting and crying like he's on a reality TV show." He fussed. Judy held up a finger, trying to defend herself but the Cougar was having none of it, as he waved his paw. Picking up his briefcase he walked away, the kudu couple following leaving Judy with a crying fox.

She sighed, grabbing the fox's arms as they walked out the building. He had to go, and fast.

Meanwhile, the magic hole from which Nick erupted from opened as a vixen popped out. Her cocktail dress, tight, and at her side a sword. On her shoulder, was Fru Fru a shrew whom befriended Nick and notified the Princess of her fox prince's disappearance.

"Fear not, Nicholas. For I, have come to rescue you!" The vixen shouted, startling a few construction beavers that backed away from the sudden appearance of the vixen.

She pointed the sword at one of the beavers, whom gulped visibly at the sharp object pressed at his neck.

"Tell me, where is my Prince Nicholas." She glared.

"I-I, don't know what you're talking about." The vixen turned to the shrew.

"Is this man part of whom sent Nicholas here, Fru?" She asked. The shrew shook her head.

"No, Madam Skye. Tis not." The vixen nodded and turned back to the beaver, she put her sword away and looked at the beaver again.

"Well, do keep an eye out for a fox with green eyes and bright red fur. He is the prince of my dreams. " She stated, and then she was off.

Don't worry Nicholas, my love. I will find you. She thought to herself as she trekked off into the mysterious new place, which was not at all like Fantasia.
