>Judy lifted her head, staring at the fox on the other side of the couch.
>"What did you just call me?"
>Nick dug his knuckle into the ball of her foot, continuing the massage with a grin.
>"I said, 'yes, princess Hopps. Right away, your majesty.'"
>Judy wriggled her toes.
>"You're a geek," she said, laying her head back and closing her eyes.
>"Your geek," he reminded her.
>"Mhmm," she mumbled.
>The two sat together, continuing their routine until Judy suddenly fell into a giggling fit.
>"What? Too ticklish?"
>No, no, you're fine, squire," she said. "I just remembered something."
>"Aaand that would be?"
>"I had a few months as a kid where I was obsessed with princesses."
>"Yeah?"
>"Oh yeah. Big time. I was eight at the time, but I was still older than most of my brothers and sisters. I had this crown made of tin foil and an old bird's nest. I wore that thing everywhere."
>"A bird's nest? As in twigs and mud?"
>"Yup. Farm girls aren't afraid of nuthin'," she said, slipping into an accent. "Anyways, I had my siblings make me mud minions whenever it rained. I marched them out into the fields with buckets of water so they could make me an army."
>"Nick's ears shot up, and his lips wobbled as he tried to suppress a laugh.
>"Did'st though rule with an iron paw?" he asked, shaking a free hand in the air.
>Judy shrank, sending her gaze to the corner of the ceiling.
>"Well..."
>"Jesus. You didn't make them fight to the death, did you?"
>"No, no." Judy shook her paws. "I just had them bring me stuff covered in plastic wrap."
>"Why plastic?"
>"Because I thought rich city mammals got everything in plastic. You know, bread in a plastic bag, plastic bags for their groceries, etcetera. We went through my mom's entire supply in a day. She was SO mad."
>"I'll have to ask her about it next time we're there."
>Judy thumped him on the thigh.
>"You will NOT."
>"Whatever you say...princess."
