this chapter has Bernice in her toon form and to get a better look at it go to the cover and click on the image to make it bigger and that is what she looks like when she is in her new toon weasel form.

[Bernice's Pov]

well I was at the ink & paint club right now and in my new toon form that is of a very feminine looking weasel (as I was told by Duke Malloy I look very pretty feminine for a Toon Weasel and I'm guessing he hasn't seen some of the improved feminine toon weasels fan girls and I guess some times boys, draw to make a more softer and feminine look on a toon weasel like the eyes and the face and the hair and etc...)

anyway while I'm in this form I go by the name Moxie Weasel so that no one I might know who comes here and hears the name 'Bernice' they wont guess it is me and blow my cover while I'm in my toon weasel form.

once when I started working here by serving drinks and stuff like that and once a guy hit on me and I told him straight up that I don't have a interested in him and that I'm 17 years old and after I told him that he seem to back off to which I am thankful for

cause one the guy was like creepy and he seem to have smelled of too much cigarettes and drinks mix together and when I was working I saw him hit on one of the other new female toons who work here besides me and he got kick out for it.

serves the old jerk right for that one and now where was I? oh right well now I am cleaning the tables when I hear someone come into the club and I look over and see it is Roger who I am guessing is here for 'Toons Night' to which is a change of face for this joint that seems to be against Toons watching the entertainment and only lets humans watch is kinda well I guess it would be called something that wasn't right but lucky this is the night that Toons can watch the show while the humans go home (well save for me because I am working here and I'm staying in my toon form until I need to head home )

Roger was looking around until he look straight my way and smiles and waves at me and hop up on one foot before running my way "Hey Moxie! how are you?!"he said as he ran over to me and hugs me before letting go of me.

"hey Roger you come here to watch Jessica sing?"I ask him as his smile gets bigger and he nods his head yes and I couldn't help but smile a little too at seeing him so happy about seeing Jessica but it all so made me very worried...

even if Jessica said some things on what she sees in him to which is because he makes her laugh it shouldn't just be that alone...

and I ain't going to think too much about how he is a better well...you know a lover than a driver that I don't want to think too much about but still there must be something they both like about each other besides the things they seem to like about each other...I mean my friend Jenessa Nickpuckers has a crush on Roger since I don't know how long and she hasn't even met the guy and yet she is willing to let another woman have him instead even if she made good points on why she likes him and not just because he makes her laugh and that he is funny.

"yep I am and boy I can't wait to hear you sing I heard you have to sing cause Jessica told me that she and Duke heard you sing to yourself while you were in the girl's bathroom fixing hair by brushing it a few times and-"Roger said but I shut him up by placing my hand over his mouth "yeah I get it Roger...say Roger can I ask you a serious question?"I ask him as I look serious into his eyes and he seem a little confused before nodding his head yes and I take my hand off his mouth and I tell him to sit down first before I ask him and as he takes a seat so do I cause I know we both will need to sit down for this one cause this is about him and Jessica and the reasons why they were together.

"Roger I know you love Jessica but what is it about her you love?"I ask him and he seem to get a all too dreamy look on his face as he made his ears into a heart shape before having hearts appear in his own eyes.

"Jessica is the most wonderful and beautiful toon in the whole world!"he said and I couldn't help but notice that something wasn't right when he said that but I don't say it just yet but I start to speak my mind

"Roger...Jessica being wonderful and beautiful alone can not just be the only reasons you love her...that being the same with Jessica loving you cause you make her laugh...those alone can't be reasons for falling in love with each other...you need to look past those things you see about each other and look much deeper into it cause you need to love each other for not just those small reasons but the things that makes you and her yourselves and if you two are only together because of the fact you make her laugh and the fact you think of her only being beautiful on the outside and not looking deep inside to see the inner beauty like how Greasy not only fell in love because of Beatrice's outer beauty but also her inner beauty to which I'm happy he sees the both of those beauties in her but you must think yourself on why the reasons that you two are together...I mean have you two ever really did a real kiss with all your hearts with out it only being a long peck that last perhaps a few minutes or so and or being a few loving pet names here and there...even if you two do show affection it is mostly because you only see the things you like about each other and think that is the only thing about the person that is there and nothing else...Roger you need to tell me this truthfully what else do you see in Jessica?"I said to him as serious and stern as I could and he did seem mad and upset at first before but as my words start to sink in more Roger was now a little more calmer and was now looking down with a worried look on his face.

"come to think of it...I don't know what else I love about my Jessica...we got married some year back and well we kinda got married when I was 17 years old when I married Jessica and she was 18 years old and we have been married since then..."Roger said as I started to guess in my head how old he and Jessica really are and when I did my eyes go wide

"Roger you are only 18 years old and Jessica is 19 years old?!"I said in a yell that only Roger can hear and I made sure my voice didn't catch any unwanted ears but Roger nods his head "yes I am 18 years old now and I was only 17 years old when we both got married...I know now we shouldn't of rush into it but I was so smitten by her that I couldn't help but fall in love with her and marry her a few weeks later after meeting her."Roger said with a big smile and now I know that something isn't right with that cause Greasy might of fell for my sister but at least he hadn't ask her to marry him right then when they first met each other.

"Roger you two shouldn't of done that!"I said to him as I feel disappointment in how him and Jessica had only just met and had rush into marriage like they did (ask if a weasel knows better...)

he seem to have been took by surprise when I said that cause he look up at me from looking down at the floor when he told me how he and Jessica got married a few weeks later after they met each other.

"why not? we love each other and that should be all that matters right?"Roger said but I couldn't help but shake my head no at this as if I am acting like Roger's sister who is scolding him for marrying a girl for all the wrong reasons (to which I am kinda scolding him right now but you know what? he really needs this cause this can't be good for him and Jessica.)

"Roger what you are confusing the feeling you two are feeling isn't 'love' it is just a affection that may appear that you are in love and the feeling you are feeling for each other is a fondness that can be either the real love that is being in love with someone or a love that is for a friend and right now I'm starting to believe your love is not being the true love kind but more of a mix of a fondness and attraction and even if it was just a attraction at first and not real love I believe your feelings of attraction moved from being just that to being fond of each other but still not being real love...Roger you need to look deep inside your heart and ask yourself this...would you still be with Jessica after learning the truth on the reasons why you two are together or will you talk with her and ask each other on the reasons you are together...cause you can't stay together base on a lie and your only hurting yourself and her by doing that and you got to look deep inside yourself and ask yourself are you in love with Jessica or do you just love her as a close friend that you are confusing those feelings you two have for each other for real love..."I said to him and knowing how I acted in the past with Wheezy I know my feelings for him was just a mix of a crush and being fond of him and to this I'm glad it stop before it made things too awkward for not just him and me but for everyone else around us.

as Roger starts to think over what I just said he lets out a gasp "oh my gosh! me and Jessica aren't really in love! how could I not see this before?! oh man...why did I have to learn this the hard way?"Roger said as he slams his forehead on the table after learning the truth about why he and Jessica are together.

"I'm glad you are coming into terms with it and are no longer in denial about it or being blind to the truth and I think you two should talk it out and perhaps it is best you two...get a divorce and perhaps start fresh by going on dates for a while and see how it goes and if you two happen to fall in real love than I say go for it and get married but if you two happen to feel that spark that makes real love happen with someone else than you two have to part ways and put the past behind you."I said to him and he seem to be curious when I said all that and he even repeats what I said about 'spark'.

"Spark...?"he asks as I couldn't help but smile a little "yes I guess the spark would be the deep feeling of being in love...like the person you thought you would never be in love with and would fight with all the time and you tend to act like you don't love each other but..."I said but then as I stop talking because I just realized that I was just describing myself and how I act like I hate Smarty but in truth I do love him but I am scared that he might not love me at all so I keep pushing him away in fear it could never work out and he will never feel the way I do cause I am scared of being hurt.

and I guess when he kiss me before I did feel a spark that I was afraid to admit was there and I guess it was there the whole time after I had my first kiss with him...

I just didn't want to see it up until now and then I just remembered that Roger is still here and he seem to be looking at me with a curious look that says that I am spacing out.

"you are in love with someone huh?"Roger ask me as he gives me a big smile as I start to blush a little and look down.

"I guess there isn't anything I can hide from you huh?"I said as he shakes his head no while still smiling as I sigh and look away and started to look over to some toons who were coming in to watch and hear Jessica sing.

"so who are you in love with?"Roger asks as I look over to him and see him with a sly smirk on his face and even having one eyebrow up and I all most laugh when he made such a face but I keep my cool and try not to laugh but I try to keep a serious look on my face but that change from a look of being just a sad look cause I could see how sad I look from the glass that was on the table.

"it is Smarty but I don't think he could ever love me...and I am willing to accept that and even if I am really a human who has fallen in love with a toon who could never love me back and I may never really love another and I might never have this feeling again but I'm happy that at least I finally open up a little to him about my feelings even if he doesn't feel the same."I said as I feel tears fall down as I look away from Roger who seems to start giving me a worried look.

"Bernice..."he said as he uses my real name and not calling me Moxie while I am in my toon weasel form to which surprise me because how he said my name just now sounded like he was being very concern and serious for a change and I guess he can be that way some times but he hardly shows it.

he then starts to remain silent until he spoke again and this time in a little more serious voice.

"you wont know if he really loves you until you try to ask him if he does love you or not..."Roger said to me and I couldn't help but wonder if I should go with what he just said and ask Smarty if he loves me and if he says no then I will have to live with it and move on with my life...

"Yo Moxie you better get back stage your on after Jessica."Bongo said to me and I get up and wave bye to Roger before heading back stage and thinking on what Roger said and I know now that I should be more open to Smarty and ask him if he loves me too and if he doesn't then perhaps it was never meant to be.

[Sleazy's Pov]

me, Slimy and Flasher were heading to the ink and paint club cause it was a night where toons could watch the show and when Smarty and the others of the Toon Patrol found out they decided to come with and even though I wouldn't tell Slimy, Flasher or the others that Bernice is working there under the name Moxie Weasel and I got to say her toon weasel form is more easy on the eyes than Winnie Weasel (hey you can't blame me for that thought right?) but I'm not in love with her after all I only love her as a friend.

and not to forget to mention I worry that Smarty might break her heart if he tells her that he isn't in love with her that I am truly worried about and right now we are just getting in the club and we head to a table and we started to watch as Jessica sings her song and after she does this she leaves and then I watch as Roger who was near by gets up and heads over to where Jessica went off to and he seem to have a serious look on his face and not the love sick look he would normally have when wanting to see his wife and I could see that there was something different about Roger that I couldn't describe and I had to wonder what it was that change in him to look that serious?

the sound of music brought me out of my thoughts as I watch the female toon weasel 'Moxie' (even though I know it is Bernice and the fact that Slimy, Flasher and the others siting at the same table that is the rest of the Toon Patrol have no clue that I know that the toon female weasel is Bernice...) and then as I look over I see the others look in surprise at the female weasel they were seeing who started to sing and I couldn't help but feel a little amused at the looks of their faces.

"I feel like I've been locked up tight for a century of lonely nights waiting for someone to release me..."she sang and I look over to my left and see Roger come over to a table that was next to the table that we were at and I couldn't help but see that he was upset about something and I had to wonder what he was talking to his wife about?

"your licking your lips and blowing kisses my way but that don't mean I'm gonna give it away..."I listen to 'Moxie' sing as she seem to have got a lot of toon guys looking at her as she sang and when I look to my right I see that Smarty was looking a little love struck as he had on a smile that seem to have looked a little goofy and showing he might really like the weasel who is singing right now and that gave me something else to worry about cause it would seem that he is falling for Bernice's new toon weasel form but that shouldn't be it at all and if he so happen to say or do anything to show he is and thinking about breaking Bernice's heart I will hit him one good in that smug face of his and I don't care if I get in trouble with the others for it cause no one breaks Bernice's heart and gets away with it...
"if you wanna be with me baby there's a price to pay I'm a genie in a bottle..."she sang and I couldn't help but not listen half the time cause I was so worried about Smarty breaking her heart when he tells her back at Beatrice, Tommy and her's house that he has fallen in love with a beautiful female toon weasel and that could bring about a lot of heart ache from Bernice who is the said toon weasel but even if she tells him that she is said weasel he wouldn't believe it and would most likely be shocked when she does transform into said female toon weasel and earning the silent treatment from her for a while...

all so it was nice of Bernice to let me, Slimy and Flasher move in the Castle at Arcade Town and plus Slimy and Flasher seem to really like living in the Castle and they seem to like their bedrooms that seem to be just made for them.

and plus Macie has been a big help on telling us the rules in the place and I was surprise that she told me about her past and I gotta say I am curious on why that was...

I wonder if Bernice has a past with Doom that she might not even remember? I have heard stories about how Doom use to be a kind and nice toon before he became the way he was today...if that were true than what does it have to do with Bernice?
could she have met him before? than again perhaps not and I'm thinking too much into it and I should just enjoy the show that is going on right now and try to block out any thoughts on about Bernice meeting Doom before...

[Bernice's Pov]

after I had sang I went into Jessica's dressing room to change back into my human form and back to my normal clothes
to which is like with a t-shirt and pants and after I had change I saw Jessica come in and I can't help but ask her if Roger came to see her and she smile a little and said yes and she told me that he loves her and that he hope to see her home soon for a very romantic dinner that he has plan and that is when I knew that something wasn't right cause Roger was suppose to talk to Jessica about we just talk about before I had to go up and sing as Moxie and now I couldn't help but hurry out of the dressing room that I had to share with Jessica for a while (but I don't plan on singing up on that stage again even if she and Duke Malloy made me by begging my over and over...)

and when I got out of the ink & paint club with out anyone seeing me I saw Roger looking down in the dumps and siting down on what looks to be trashcan and he looks up at me and I could tell from the look on his face his talk with Jessica didn't go as plan.

"Roger what happen? I thought you were gonna settle it with her by telling her whats going on and you will be just going on dates for a while with each other until you can figure out if it is real love or not so why did yous all chicken out like that if you don't mind me asking?"I said to him and he seem to let out a heavy sigh as he twiddle his thumbs as he looks back down.

"I was going to tell her, honestly I was but something made me well chicken out as you said just now and I couldn't find the heart to tell her my feelings about how our love has been nothing but a lie and my feelings for her might just be a crush that has been going on for as long as I thought I have been in love with her...and hurts me so much to know that our love is nothing but a fake thing that we couldn't see it was fake and it took me up until now to realize this and it hurts so much to know it is true..."he said as tears comes down his big blue eyes and I couldn't help but feel bad for showing Roger the truth behind his married life with Jessica and the fact they got married too soon and too fast that they didn't see it up until now (and I am guessing that Jessica hasn't seen this at all and it might take her a while to see it just like Roger had.)

"and yet I'm kinda glad you pointed out all the facts about our life together and all this time I thought it was real love and yet I have been worried about Jessica cheating on me and yet I can't help but think perhaps I was being worried over nothing and she wouldn't do that for real like how she told me why she did what she did with Marvin Acme...but still it got me to thinking of what if she has been doing it more than once with others...she could of played patty cake with both toon and human men behind my back and I wouldn't even know it cause I am too blind by my love for her! and I have notice she has been going out to go see Rick Flint a lot lately."Roger said with tears in his eyes as he seem to be talking about that Private Detective from the comic series of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and I couldn't help but be surprise to hear this and I have seen the comic on some site it was on but I couldn't remember the name of it but other than that I couldn't help but notice how Rick Flint look at Jessica in the comic and that could give reason to believe Jessica has some feelings for Flint but if that is true I might need to get some proof and that would mean I might need to ask for the help of the Toon Patrol but than again maybe I shouldn't ask all of them for help and I think I will ask only the three weasels I know that might be able to help if the Toon Patrol are too busy with who knows what they are busy with (maybe mostly coming over to the house to see Beatrice and Tommy)

and I think I will have Slimy, Flasher and Sleazy help me with that and they might like helping me with this if it means I pay them 50,000 simoleons (even though Sleazy might do it for free cause he is my friend.)

"Roger how do you know this? did Jessica say she was seeing him?"I ask him and he shakes his head no before speaking once again "well as I was about to leave out the door and I had only barely shut the door when I heard Jessica talking on the phone and said in a very happy voice I never heard her use before and saying that she couldn't wait to see 'Ricky' and she would meet him at some fancy place to eat before they both had to go back to their homes before..."Roger said as he looks like he was trying to swallow a lump in his throat as he tries to say what he was going to say before he seem to lost his nerve for a minute before clearing his throat before speaking once more what he was going to say and I place a hand on his shoulder and he looks up at me with even more sadness in his eyes "go on Roger I'm here for ya."I said to him in a gentle voice that shows I am listening and that I care about him and his feelings like any friend would.

"they said that both of them would need to hurry after they eat together and head back to their homes before the...the rabbit finds out!"Roger cries out before placing his arms around me and hugging me and crying and I couldn't help but be shocked at hearing that Jessica has been cheating on him for real and it was a lot to take in and the fact she is cheating on him with Rick Flint

I let Roger cry and let his bury his face on my left shoulder and I could feel his tears hit on the shoulder of my shirt and I knew that it will be a little wet from the tears he is letting out right now but Roger needs to let it all out right now after finding out that Jessica has been cheating on him and even though he finds out he might not be in love with her and the love he feels is nothing but a crush it seem that it still hurts still like the real thing...

I gently rub Roger's back and tell him to let it all out and tell him that everything will be okay and that he will get through this okay and that he wont have to worry about Jessica for a while cause I would take care of it for him

and after giving Roger a big hug to show that I care and I am here for him and I understand how he is feeling I let go of him and look him in the eyes "Roger if you like you can stay over at my house for tonight cause I know after what you been through you wouldn't want to go back to your place right now and you can go home tomorrow after you get a nice nights sleep and eat first before you go back to Toon Town okay?"I said to him and he seem to smile a little at this kind suggestion that seem to make him look a little better and he nods his head "thanks Bernice you have a good heart on you..."Roger said and I couldn't help but smile a little at this and even though I don't know if it is true or not about me having a good heart it was very sweet of Roger to say so.

"come on Roger I will walk you to my house and you can sleep on my bed while I take the couch in the living room."I said to Roger who seems a little against me sleeping on the couch while he takes my bed but I told him it was fine and I didn't mind sleeping on the couch and it was okay with me

and I couldn't very well tell Tommy and Beatrice on the reasons why Roger is staying over with out giving away what me and him talk about before and him finding out after our talk he found out that Jessica has been seeing Rick behind his back

so I will have to just tell them that he is staying over for the night and will be heading back to toon town the next morning and that is all they need to know and the only ones I am gonna tell the full story to is Slimy, Flasher and Sleazy and have them help me out if it is true or not by following Jessica and Rick around and seeing if they are really having a fling that they have been keeping from Roger and so help me if that is true I will punch Rick right in his face if I should ever meet him.

to be continued
