>> Judy's POV <<

I can hardly keep my eyes dry.

Nick is finally going to join to ZPD.

He's at the top of his class.

He talked to me every day he was in the Academy.

I helped him out. He is so much smaller than the others. Like me.

And now he's graduating, and I'm here, handing him his real badge, and I'm so proud. Of him. Of myself.

And my parents are in the audience. They're obviously scared that I'm so close to a fox. They will get used to it.

I'm sure they will. Everyone will.

But I can't think about that now, I'm just savoring this moment...
