Judy stood still with embarrassment as Nick held the Plushie up looking at it.

"Is this supposed to be me?" Nick asked looking at the green button eyes as the toy made a squeaking sound, Nick squeezed it again as it repeated the sound.

"Oh, just because it's a plushie of a fox, you automatically think it's supposed to be you, I swear your ego can be so big sometimes" Judy dismissed trying to convince him there was no connection between the two foxes.

"Cute" Nick replied as Judy boiled.

"What did I say about calling me that word" Judy stated shifting into mild anger

"Not you, Him," Nick said as Judy calmed down as Nick sat the plushie beside

"I Shall call him Mini-Nick" The Fox stated trying to sound dramatic holding his paw to his mouth as Judy chuckled

"Mini-Nick it is then" Judy replied as Nick held the plushie on his lap holding the arms of the toy out

"Rwwar, Give Mini-Nick a hug" Nick teased in a childish voice shaking the plushie as Judy snickered

"Please, don't bite me Mini-Nick" Judy pretended to beg, hugging the plushie as she withdrew from him

"So where did this little guy come from?" Nick asked as Judy shrugged

"I Got it online" She replied as Nick looked at it

"So does he have a little friend?" Nick asked as the bunny chuckled guiding Nick's eyes to the shelf of bunny plushies as she picked one of them up

"Hey check it out, Mini-Judy," Judy said holding up a plushie resembling a grey rabbit kit with purple marbles for eyes as the two played with the plushies. Nick hadn't played with plushies since he was a young kit but he felt comfortable with the two plushies

"Mini-Judy wants a hug too," Judy said Nick placed the fake fox arms around the bunny companion as Judy smiled.

"Carrots If I Didn't know any better I'd say you really liked me" Nick replied squeezing the plushie as Judy froze

"What No" Judy replied in defense as Nick eased his grip on the toy

"What?" Nick replied as Judy cleared up

"I Just like you as a Friend, we're nothing more than that" Judy covered up as Nick set the plushie on the bed.

"Yeah, I know that, wait you thought I meant... Me with you" Nick chuckled as Judy laughed nervously

"Plus you already have a girlfriend" She giggled

"Yeah, and the whole idea of a Fox and Bunny being together, It just...weird" Nick stated as Judy gritted her teeth.

"Please leave," Judy said firmly as this caught Nick off guard.

Wait what" Nick said as Judy opened the door

"Door, hallway, see you later," Judy said strictly as Nick drooped

"Carrots was It something I said?" Nick said

"I Just want to be alone" Judy excused as Nick didn't argue walking out of the doorway

"Look, Judy, I- Goodnight," Judy said slamming the door. Nick didn't know what to do. he knew he should probably leave her alone. he walked to the elevator going up to his floor. upon entering his apartment Nick flicked the switch lighting up the room. Nick checked out the fridge microwaving leftovers. what did say to make Judy so mad at him, he'd never seen her like that.

Nick pulled out her phone dialing Vivian's number as she picked up

"Hey sweetie, what's up?" Vivian asked as Nick rubbed his shoulder

"I Think I said something that made her mad" Nick stated explaining the scenario.

In Judy's room, she was crying on her bed

"Why, Judy, Why do you have to be so stupid" The bunny sobbed pulling her ears. she actually told Nick they were just friends and nothing more. why was she unable to confess her feelings, even if he was taken it would best to come clean, they were doing so well.

"Yeah, and the whole idea of a Fox and Bunny being together, it's just...weird" The words Nick said replayed in her mind. she was a fool to think she could end up with Nick, interspecies couples were not very common, and Pred/Prey Couples were extremely rare. but couples from former enemies were unheard of. she could just imagine the look on her family's faces if they found out she was a predophile. but what hurt most wasn't the views of society or the views of her family. it was the views of Nick.

"Nick probably hates me now" Judy stated looking at the plushies throwing them across the room. she grabbed her pillow yelling into it muffling her voice. as Judy settled down turned off the lights before she crawled under her covers, she didn't even bother changing into her pajamas. Undoing her clothes she laid under the thick covers only in her undergarments, curling up to sleep. she gave one last look to the two plushies who landing on top of each other as she shed a tear looking back. this was the first night in a while she slept without Mini-Nick by her side.
