The Hustle of Love

Chapter 5: Advice

Judy waited outside her apartment after work for Mr. Big and Fru-Fru. It had been a long day at work, her and Nick had four drunk and disorderly calls and everyone had been a hassle. She looked forward to time with the Big's. She also looked forward to going home the next day to see her family. Suddenly a limo pulled up and a polar bear opened the door for Judy to step inside. Once in she was greeted by Fru-Fru and Mr. Big .

"Hey Judy, how are you?"

"I'm good Fru Fru, thank you for asking. Hello Mr. Big."

"Hello child, I'm so pleased to see you." Mr. Big said with a Big smile.

"It's nice to see you too. So where are you taking me?"

"I'm taking you to get a dress at Dazzles." Said Mr. Big

"What?! Are you sure Mr. Big that place is very expensive."

"Don't worry child, it is my treat to you."

Since saving Fru Fru and becoming the godmother to her daughter, Judy had became like one of the family in the Big household. She spent many nights and weekends with them. Mr. Big had even addressed her as one of his daughters. They arrived at Dazzles and Judy began to try on dresses. The more she tried on, the more she became discouraged.

"I don't look good in any of these."

Judy sat on a chair next to Mr. Big and Fru Fru. She was wearing a pale blue dress with a single strap on her right shoulder. they had already been there for a hour and she had tried on what felt like hundreds of dresses.

"We just have to find you right the one Judy."

"I don't know Fru Fru. Thank you for bringing me here Mr. Big but I don't think we're going to find one for me. To be honest I don't really wear dresses."

"I know child, but when you find a man that you like you'll want to look beautiful for the date."

"I've never had a date and I don't think I'll have one anytime soon." Judy said with a little chuckle.

"Ok come on Judy there must be a guy you like."

"Well...., there might be one Fru Fru."

Suddenly a polar bear walked in and whispered into Fru Fru's ear.

"Excuse me one second guys, the nanny is calling."

Fru Fru left the room leaving Judy with Mr. Big.

"So Judy my child, tell me about this boy."

Judy was a little surprised at Mr. Big's interest in her love life.

"Are you really interested Mr. Big?"

"Yes, you are like one of my own Judy. I take great interest in your life."

Judy couldn't help but smile at the older mouse that she had grown to love as a father figure.

"Well he's very nice, he's always there when I need him. His eyes are amazing and his long bushy tail is so soft."

Judy covered her mouth as she realized what she said. Mr. Big looked at her as she tried to cover her mistake.

"Ears! I mean ears, not tail."

Mr. Big folded his hands and gave a small smile.

"Judy you would never lie to me, would you?"

"Never Mr. Big, not after all your kindness."

"Then tell me the truth, this mammal you like isn't a bunny, is he?"

Judy blushed with embarrassment. What she said was true, she could never lie to Mr. Big.
