Judy wasn't nearly as fast as she once was, something she'd have to get used to as she raced toward the venue as fast as she could. The limp she had with every step and nearly tripping as she pushed her legs faster despite the familiar pain made that difficult though.
That's what happened when a rabbit who was used to getting up and going was suddenly forced to remember her own limitations. That's what a spinal injury and broken leg did to a mammal though. Well that combined with her cabin fever making her unable to adhere to the doctor's orders. Stay in bed for the duration of time she was supposed to? Not this bunny.
Now she had a permanent limp and pain if she pushed herself too hard for too long. Nothing she wasn't used to by now though and she was already cutting it close by the time she practically flew through the back door. Even so, she wasn't out of shape in the least and smiled up at the fox she still called her partner officers or not.
"Sorry, traffic was nasty," she complained as she caught her breath. "I ended up just parking on the side of the road a mile down or so."
Thankfully, she'd paid enough that they should have plenty of time to do this opening, pack up, and get back to the car before the meter ran out though. She really didn't want to see the pitying looks from former colleagues of the ZPD again. It was already embarrassing enough how she'd gotten these injuries in the first place.
To add insult to injury, that meant she could no longer be an officer of the law. Even meter maiding was out of the question because of how long she'd have been on her hind paws all day. And she wasn't about to steal Ben's job at the front desk. So she accepted the severance package the Chief graciously gave her even when she resigned.
Now was the start of a new adventure with her best friend and secret love. Nick, who it seemed still wasn't all that happy to be on camera or in front of crowds.
"Hey, its going to be okay. I'll take the lead for singing this time, okay? You just back me up if you feel comfortable enough," she replied as she began stretches to work her leg muscles loose again. "If we can take down perps as big as rhinos, we can do this easily."
She nudged him with her elbow trying to help him relax before her ears perked when they were introduced to the stage. Truthfully, she was a little nervous, speeches and singing were two different things after all. But she wouldn't show it for Nick's sake. He was already tense and nervous enough. And it was now or never.
"Come on, we've got this," she said again, sending him a wink as she walked onto the stage.
She did her best to hide her limp as she walked and knew the moment they were recognized even if their band name hadn't given it away. There were soft gasps from the audience.
"Good evening everyone. This is our debut song, hope you enjoy it," she greeted.
A million thoughts in my head
Should I let my heart keep listening?
Cause up to till now, I've walked the line
Nothing lost, but something missing
I can't decide
What's wrong?
What's right?
Which way should I go?
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling. Is this just a dream?
Oh, oh yeah.
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be.
Oh, oh..
If only..
