Nick was in a room he had never seen in his life. he looked around nervously wondering what this was and why this was happening. He discovered a beautiful archway and as he was observing it he heard someone enter the room. He turned to look at them and saw a women in a white dress and vail so thick he couldnt even tell her species. The only thing he could tell is that she was much bigger than him.

"Hey handsom, you ready?" a deep voice asked from benith the vail.

"Who are you?" he asked, "and what is going on?"

"Its our wedding day," she said lifting the vail, "Now your stuck with me and will do everything in life just to make me happy or else ill make you into dinner!" A large tiger glared at him menicingly and gave him a smirk.

"WHAT???" he yelled looking around for the exit. "Im not going to marry someone I dont know or love. Im getting the heck out of here!!" He made to run but she snatched him up.

"Your mine forever now. you do what i say and nothing else!" she laghed into his ear.

"NOOOOOOO!" He jumped from her arms and fell into a pit. he fell for ages before slaming into the ground hard. He looked around and found he had fallen out of bed. He rubbed his face and stood up "that was freaking crazy. Ill never go through this wedding. Ill only marry who I love. and im never falling asleep reading another book about someone being forced into something again." He grumbled picking up the book and putting it on the nightstand.

He showered and got dressed then sat down to finish up some homework at his desk. as he came close to finishing he decided to text Judy to see if she wanted some breakfast.

N-Hey there would you like some breakfast? On me of course

J-Sure Im out on my morning workout now. Wanna meet up someplace?

N-maybe. where you at? I may have something in mind.

J-Near the main courtyard. If your in the mood for it I can stop at the mom and pops dinner right at the corner.

N-that sounds better than my idea lol ill be there in 10.

J-See you there.

He made sure he was presentable and headed out.

As he arived he got them a booth and sat waiting. He accepted the coffee the cook offered and became lost in thought about the arranged marrage. He kept wondering how he could get past all the legal junk and keep from marrying anyone he didnt want to. He was so lost in though he didnt notice the long ears creaping up behind him.

"NOW I GOT YA AND YOUR ALL MINE!!" She yelled jumping and grabbing him around the neck.

"YAAAAH" Nick yelled and grabbed his chest trying to keep himself from freaking out too much so she wouldnt find out just how badly he was freaked from remebering those words from his dream. but her ears were way better than he thought. she backed up and moved where he could see her and made a nonthreatening gesture

"Nick, whats wrong, I know I scarred you but your heart is racing even after knowing it was me?" she asked watching him carefully.

"Im fine carrots, just had a bad dream and those words were a reminder," he said hesitantly looking away with an embaresed expression.

She touched his paw gently "Im sorry Nick I was just trying to have a little fun. Would you like to talk about it?"

"Im ok, but Im a little freaked out. I got some news im not too happy about and I just need to process it and figure it out." He said "but enough of that heavy stuff lets enjoy our meal shall we?"

"Nick you can always talk to me. Maybe I can help" she said watching him as she took her seat. "besides I got some bad news as well.." she got a far away look in her eyes.

"What happened?" he asked nervously.

"I found out something that I dont know how to process.." she said not looking him in the eyes.

"How bout ill make you a deal. Ill tell you mine if you tell me yours first." he said while playing with his fingers.

She played with her ears for a minute while still not looking at him "only if you promise you wont get mad and stop talking to me."

He nodded his head and put a finger under her chin to get her to look at him "I could never stop talking to you. Your the only person ive met who I can talk openly with. Ill never loose that if I have any say in it."

She took a deep breath while looking into his eyes and just let the words flow before she could stop them "I kind of found out Im engaged to someone ive never met." She looked away with a pained expresion.

He froze for a moment and just stared at her before shaking himself and smiling lightly "You know something carrots, our folks must have grown up in a strange time. I found out Im engaged to someone as well. Ive never met her and have no clue as to the species ither. Talk about an interesting turn of events. What do you think your going to do?"

"Honestly the only thing im sure about is that I refuse to marry someone I dont love." she said with no hesitation what so ever.

"Thats what I feel as well. I think Im going to refuse and if i happen to fall in love ill marry that mammel instead." He said while looking at her with a smile

"I think thats a good thing to do. So when is our first date?" she said with a sly smile

He froze for a second time and cleared his throught "sly bunny" he chuckled, "how about dinner tonight Ill text you the address."

"Ok," she said checking her phone for the time. "I have to get to class in about 30 minutes, do you mind if I get this meal to go?" she asked

"not a problem my fluffy friend."

"wouldnt that be girlfriend?" she blushed quickly and looked away wondering why she suddenly asked that.

Once again He froze and just stared at her thanking God she couldnt see the blush through his fur "Thats only if your willing to go to that step," He said "Ill never force you into saying or doing anything your not ok with" he said with compleate conviction.

She stared into his eyes "I would be perfectly happy to be your girlfriend Nick"

"Well then," he took her paw, "Ill lookforward to a lovely dinner date with my girlfriend" He kissed her paw.

They ordered thier breakfast and headed out exchanging a hug before splitting for thier seperate destinations. Nick had a few phone calls to make. He wanted to make her first date incredible.

Judy had fibbed a bit about her first class starting, she had actually made plans to pick up something to give to Nick in the next day or two. She decided to get it today and give it to him at thier date. Hopefully he would like it.
