09 Operation True Love

Operation True Love Judy stretched out on her top bunk and stared up at the glow-in-the-dark stars on her ceiling. It all added up. The red ring. The new glasses, the humming, the heart-shaped cookies. It was right there all the time. Her best-ever prediction. All she had to do was see it. Use her brain. Make the connection. Mr. Todd was in love! At last, she, Madame M, could predict something really, truly big. Something really, truly true. Something only she, Judy Moody, knew about. Judy had a new plan. A perfect, foolproof, fail-safe, predicts-the-future plan. All she had to do now was trick Mr. Todd into trying on the mood ring. She had to see once

and for all if it turned red for Romantic, In Love. Only one thing stood in the way. She was not allowed to bring the mood ring to school. On Friday morning, Judy took out her mood ring. She did not wear it on her finger. She did not show it to anyone. She kept it hidden in her baby-tooth box. She kept that hidden in the secret pocket of her backpack. Until after school. Time for Project Mood Ring. Operation True Love. She, Dr. Judy Moody, was 3/4 sure and 9/10 certain that the Magic 8 Ball did not lie. But she had to be 110% sure-and-absolute positive. "Mr. Todd," said Judy, taking her mood ring out of the secret box. "I know I'm not supposed to bring my mood ring to school and

everything, but I have a V.I.Q. A Very Important Question." "I'm going to be in a bad mood if I see that ring in class again." "I kept it put away all day," said Judy. "I promise. I was just hoping I could ask you how a mood ring works. In the name of science and everything." "Mood rings are interesting," said Mr. Todd. "They used to be popular when I was a kid, you know." "No way!" said Judy. "Way!" said Mr. Todd, laughing. "Here, let me see that ring again." Mr. Todd held the ring with his fingers. Judy tried to ESP Mr. Todd a message. Put the ring on. Put the ring on.

"Mood rings have their own science." Put the ring on. "Did you know our bodies give off heat energy?" Put the ring on. Mr. Todd slipped the ring onto his index finger. "Liquid crystals change color as our bodies change temperature. See? Red is for hot."

It worked! Red! The ring was r-e-d, red. Red for Romantic. Red for In Love. Red for sure and absolute positive. "It is hot in here, isn't it?" said Mr. Todd. "Red hot," said Judy. "Hot enough to melt Antarctica." "I'm afraid Antarctica is here to stay," said Mr. Todd. He handed her the ring. "Does that answer your Very Important Question?" "Yes, yes, yes!" said Judy. "Thanks, Mr. Todd!" Judy dashed out the door. Madame M was back in business. And she was going to predict a future better than ever. Judy kissed her mood ring!
