E15 Tomorrow's a new day.

“There she is!” said Bonnie. “Hi, sweetheart!” Stu’s face popped onto the screen.

 “Hey there, Jude the Dude! How was your first day on the force?”

“It was real great,” said Judy, knowing this was a complete lie.

“Yeah? Everything you ever hoped?” asked Bonnie.

“Absolutely, and more! Everyone’s so nice. And I feel like I’m really making a difference—”

“Wait a second,” said Stu, popping his head onto the screen again. “Holy cripes, Bonnie! Look at that!”

Bonnie peered into the screen trying to see what Stu was so excited about. “Oh my sweet heaven! Judy, are you a meter maid?”

Judy had forgotten she was still wearing her vest and that her hat was on the chair. She tried to backpedal. “What? Oh, this? No. It’s just a temporary—”

“It’s the safest job on the force!” exclaimed Bonnie happily.

“She’s not a real cop! Our prayers have been answered!” said Stu, overjoyed.

“Glorious day!”

“Meter maid! Meter maid! Meter maid!” chanted Stu.

“Dad. Dad!” said Judy, feeling uncomfortable and just wanting to end the conversation.

 “You know what? This has been great, guys, but it’s been a long day—”

“That’s right. You get some rest!” said Bonnie.

“Absolutely. Those meters aren’t gonna maid themselves,” added Stu.

They said goodnight and Judy hung up, feeling even sadder than she had before. As she took off her vest, she turned on more sad music. Through the wall, Oryx yelled: “Hey, bunny! Turn down that depressing music!”

“Leave the meter maid alone!” yelled Kudu. “Didn’t you hear her conversation? She feels like a failure!”

Judy turned down the music as Oryx and Kudu continued to yell and bicker.

“Tomorrow’s another day,” she said quietly to herself.

“Yeah, but it might be worse!” yelled Oryx.

Exhausted, Judy settled in for the night, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
