Judy in Wonderland
It was a warm late spring afternoon in Zootopia. The bustling metropolis of manmals of all sizes and shapes was peacefull for weeks now, if not months. Not much to do for the males and females in blue, Zootopias finest, the cops of the ZPD.
One of those cops, officer Judy Hopps, a young bunny woman, was sitting on the hood of her patrol cruiser, leaning back and watching the sky. She looked up as her partner, officer Nick Wilde, a laidback red fox, came out of the Snarlbucks coffee shop with two papercups in his paws.
Judy sighs: „You know Nick, I hate to say it but I wished something would happen. Its been much too quite lately. Its like all criminals have packed their bags and left this town for good. Even Weaselton is laying low.“
Nick just gave her a smile: „Now, now, Carrots. You know what they say, be carefull what you wish for. Just be glad that we have peace in our city. I mean even the predator prey related hate crimes are on an all time low. I would have never thought I´ll see this. Really warms the cockles of the heart of an old cynic like me...“
He sniffed on his coffee cup: „Aaaaah, Double Mocca Blueberry Frappochino. Its a shame they sell them only temporary, I could really get addicted to those...“
Judy chuckled: „You should be carefull with those, Slick. You did have put un a little weight lately, if they would offer those creamy calorie bombs all the time, you would look like Clawhauser within a year.“
Nick in mock outrage, but smiling: „That was uncalled for, Carrots. I have you known that I am still as swift and agile as the day we first met!“
„I`M LATE! I`M LATE!!“
Suddenly a small white blur bumped into Nick and made him drop the coffee.
„SWEET CHEESE´N´CRACKERS! HOT, HOT, HOT!!!“
Some of the coffee spilled over his legs.
Judy jumped of the hood „HEY YOU! Stop right there!“
The older white rabbit shouted out without turning around: „I can´t! I´m late to a very important date!“
Judy was visibly irate „The nerve of that guy! Wait here, I´ll get that rabbit! That is assault on an officer!“
As she ran off she grinned to herself „Finally a little action!“
Nick groaned: „Judy, wait, I... *sigh* Off she goes... For petes sake... I will never get those stains out of my uniform...“
As she rushed after the other bunny, Judy couldn´t help but be a little impressed. That fellow must be older than her father and was also a bit on the tubby side, yet he was really fast, she could barely keep pace.
She quickly radioed HQ: „This is Officer Hopps reporting an assault on an officer, I´m following the suspect on foot down West Wallaby Street in direction Pachyderm Park. The suspect is a male albino bunny, middleaged, slightly overweight, he is wearing a very oldfashioned, flamboyant outfit, a pait of pince-nez and a...comically oversized pocket watch? Check with mental institutions if they are missing anybody that is fitting this desciption.“
Just at this moment the bunny made a quick sidestep into an alley. Judy followed, only to realize with terror that she stumbled into an open mammal hole, as soon as she cut around the corner.
At first Judy could do nothing but scream in horror as she fell down through pitch black darkness.
But after a few seconds her horror turned into surprise as her fall didn´t suddenly end in raw sewage or, worse, on a solid concrete floor. She was falling for a whole straight minute when her eyes started to get used to the darkness.
„What is going on here...“
She noticed that, while she was still falling, her fall was slowed down to a rather comfortable speed, it was more of a floating than a fall.
Judy looked around herself. She was floating down a tunnel, that had walls clad with wood paneling and wallpapers. There were pictures, maps and sideboards with books on the walls, also old fashioned gas lamps were starting to illuminate the tunnel.
„Is... this some kind of art installation? Hello? Somebody here?“
Judy had heard of mole artists making weird and elaborate art instalations in the tunnels under the city, Fru Fru even tried to get her to a vernissage once, but she never cared too much for modern art.
As she floated down this strange shaft, she happend to float past a long mirror. Her eyes popped almost out of her head as she saw her reflection.
She was not wearing her ususal police uniforn anymore, instead she was wearing a blue puffy knee lenght dress with a white pinafore and puffy short sleeves. On her muscular legs she was wearing white stockings and shiny black mary janes on her large footpaws. As her dress floated up for a brief moment, she could spot a frilly pettycoat and bloomers. To make things even worse, there was a large black bow on her right ear.
„I... WHAT?!?! HOW?!?! WHAT?!?!
WHERE IS MY UNIFORM? WHAT AM I WEARING!?!?!?“
Judys mind started racing, what is going on here? Did she hit her head and suffer from some hallucination? She pinched herself.
„OW!“
This was reality. How did she change out of her uniform into this outfit? Did that white bunny drug her undress her and redress her? She shuddered at that thought. No, this wasn´t it. She had been drugged before in an undercover job and this didn´t feel anything like it. Whatever was going on here, that white rabbit has a lot to explain.
Judy looked again at the dress she was wearing.
„This is terrible...“ She muttert to herself „I am really cute in this get up. Downright adorable. If Nick would see me like that I would never hear the end of it...“
Suddenly Judy floating fall came to an end as she landed in a large pile of leafs.
„Oof, fall leaves? At this time of year?“
Then she spotted the white rabbit running at the end of a hallway.
Judy leaped out of the leaf pile and ran after him.
„STOP! ZPD! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST, MISTER!!!“
She ran after him but quickly lost sight of him. The hall way endet up in a very large room, about the size of a large gymnasium, with a tiled floor with a chessboard pattern and wood paneling all around. It was very brightly illuminated even thou there were no windows or lamps anywhere to be seen. As she turned around she noticed with surprise that there was no passage where she had enterd, just walls all around. Judy tried to stay calm, but as she was searching the walls for hidden doors panic was rising in her. She was trapped! This was just like in one of those scary movies in which a killer lures his victims into some kind of deadly funhouse maze full of traps, just to watch them struggle. She shaked her head to chase away that thought. No, this was not some silly movie, this was real and even if that fat little rabbit was watching her in a safe room on CCTV, she wouldn´t give him the cheap trills of acting like prey in a trap.
Suddenly she noticed a small red velvet curtain on the wall. It barely was as tall as her knees. Judy crouched down and pulled the curtain aside, only to reveal a very small door, a bit larger than the doors in Little Rodentia, but much smaller than any doors used by mammals other than rodents.
The door was made from teak and had shiny brass hinges and an elaborate brass doorknob that had a striking resemblance to... Clawhauser?
Judy was confused, yet she decided to turn the doorknob, very carefully...
„HEY, OW!“
Judy jumped almost to the celing.
„SWEET CHEESE AND CRACKERS!!“
The doorknob adjusted itself and and smiled at Judy „Oh, hello there little bunny! What brings you this place?“
Judy inspected the doorknob with confusion and amazement.
„This has got to be the most amazing piece of animatronics I´ve ever seen...“
The dooknob chuckled
„I´m not an „animaniac“, silly. I´m a door! I lead from her to there.“
-“Uh... To where?“
-“To there! The other side of me. Take the key over there, open me up and take a look!“
The dooknob moved his head in direction behind Judy. She turned around and to her suprise there was an ornate glass table standing behind her with a tiny brass key on top of it. She could swear on her ears that this wasn´t there a minute ago.
She quickly walked to the table, picked up the key and went back to the door.
„ Now, please up the key in the keyhole below me. Aheheheee, that tickles.“
Judy cringed
„Please don´t do that ever again...“
-„Aheh, sorry. Now you can open me up and take a look inside outside.“
Judy carefully opend the door and looked though a tiny passageway into a beautyfull garden. But the passage was far too small for her to get through. She closed the door again.
„I actually just want to get out of here, but I can´t even get my head through. Isn´t there another way out?.“
-“Aw, I´m sorry, but I am the only way out. You could stay here for a little while. Its been forever since I had some company. But if you really want out...*sigh* Why don´t you try that diet drink to slim down a little?“
Again he gestured to the table. Now Judy was really puzzled. There was a sportsdrink bottle on the table. Now she KNEW this wasn´t here before. She put the key on the table and carefully picked up the bottle, inspecting it from all sides.
„This seems VERY fishy. How do I know there are not some roofies slipped into this?“
The doorknob laughed: „HAHAHA Don´t be silly, a roofer won´t fit into that bottle. Unless... He drank some of it before...“
Judy opened the bottle sniffed on the liquid.
„Smells harmless enough, actually it smells quite nice, like some fruity multivitamin juice. Still, I´d rather be safe than sorry. I try a tiny sip first, if I don´t get lightheaded in the next minutes I´ll drink the rest.“
With that she took a tiny drop of the drink onto her tounge, closed the bottle and put it back on the table.
The doorknob looked kinda worried: „Oh... I don´t think this is a good idea...“
-“Why?“
-“Well, you see.that drink kinda works that way: The smaller your sip is the smaller you get. And you just drank little enough to make you small as a grain of sand. Look you are allready dwindeling!“
Judy turned around only to see with horror that the tabletop was rising over her head. She was stunned with shock for a second, a flurry of different feelings and thoughts rushing through her brain, thoughts like „Its physically impossible for animals to change size! What about the square-cube law?“ or „Wait, if I drank that stuff, how are these clothes shrinking with me?“ untill a voice in her head screamed „THE KEY!!! JUMP!!!!“.
Judy instinctively leaped at the rising tabletop and barely managed it to grab the edge of the table. She grunted as she pulled herself onto the tabletop, not an easy task, as the glass surface was kinda slippery. Finally she was firm on the table, rushing to the key. She was the size of a mouse now and still shrinking. She she reached it, it had the size of a lamppost to her, impssible to lift. Yet still she shrank. Soon the key towerd above her, as she looked around she saw the bottle looking like a distant skyscraper. She couldnt even see the edge of the table anymore´, and as she looked down through the glass surface of the table, she felt a rush of vertigo hit her in the stomache, as the floor below looked like it was many miles down. She gasped and sat down.
Finally she stopped shrinking. She was small. No, beyond small, she was tiny, microscopic. If she looked closely at the key and the glass she could make out single atoms. Mice must be downright titanic right now, even ants, no fleas, would look monstrously huge to her. She was small as dust.
She heard the door knob call out for her in the distance: „Miss? Hello? Aw... It seems like she shrank down to nothing. What a shame, she seemed nice...“
Judy was shivering, her nose twitching, she was trying to wrap her mind around her impossible situation. She started hyperventilating, as she was on the brink of a panic attack.
„No! No no no! I´m a cop. I´m a real cop. I´m a real cop and I can handle everything that is thrown at me.“
She looked around in grim determination and spotted something nearby. She walked over to it and examined the object. It was a tiny box, made out of polished silver with ornate decorations. Judy flipped it open and found a small cake in it. It was round and had white frosting with the words „Eat me“ written on it in chocolate letters.
„Yeah right. Drinking something ot me into this situation...“
She furrowed her brow.
„...but maybe EATING something will get me out of it.“
She sighs „Guess, I have nothing to lose...“
She took a large bite out of the cake.
„Oh wow! Carrot cake! My favorite! So moist and fluffy, just like Mom makes it.“
She quickly finished off the cake, not leaving a single crumb behind.
Judy sat down an leaned back. „I did need that. Now I can think about what to do next.“
Suddenly she felt a tingle in her right foots toes. With a creaking sound the front of her foot inflated to three times its size. The tingle then spead to the rest of her foot and soon it startet to grow too. Then her left foot followed suit and quickly caught up with his right brother. Judys feet grew to the (relative to her) size of cars, then busses, then barges. Judy could only stare at her feet in speechless disbelief. The shoes and stockings grew with the feet and it was weird to see how the single threads of the fine white silk stockings suddenly turned into thick ropes at her ankles.
„Wha... My feet...“
Then her hands started to feel weird. Judys left thumb inflalted with a *fump* to twice the size of her head. The other fingers followed with * fump*, * fump*, * fump*. * FLOMP* the rest of her hand followed suit. Again the right hand joined its counterpart. Judy was now stuck between her ship sized feet and two furry housesized masses that where her hands.
Again Judy felt the now familiar tingle now in her tail. With a WHOOSH it exploded into a wall of grey soft fur behind her. Judy blushed heavily as the tingle moved to her buttcheeks and then she was liftet up in the air by two balloons clad in white cotton bloomers.
Now the sensation moved to her ears. Before she could say anything they grew into two massive tarps of fur and skin, flopping to both sides of her head and stretching out for half a football field. Even that silly bow on her right ear was now as big a subway car.
Next her buckteeth shot out of her muzzle, expanding well to the size of dinnertables.
„MMMPF!!!“
Finally her nose started twitching and tingling, like a sneeze was building up, but instead of a sneeze her nose inflated like a balloon to the point where she couldn´t see past the fleshy, shiny, pink mass anymore.
Judy let out a little whimper and she was stuck immobile between the different, overgrown parts of her body. Luckily after a few seconds the rest of her body started to shake and tingle in a similar fashion and grew to catch up with the parts of her that had allready grown. When she was finally at her normal proportions again, she was sitting on the table, about half of her original size. But her growth didn´t stop here. She kept on growing in little spurts, always with one part of her body (like her head, a leg, a paw) growing a little larger than the rest at one spurt, and the rest catching up with it at the next spurt.
The doorknob called out as he saw her: „Ah, Miss! I´m glad you are allright! Uh, Miss? What are you doing?“
Judy grew and grew, soon crushing the table under her expanding tush. She was sitting now on the floor with the walls and celing closing in on her.
The doorknow cried out: „Miss! Please stop! You are getting much too big! MPFH!“
-“I..I can´t STOP IT!!“
He was silenced by a white wall of silk covered furry flesh when her leg pressed into his wall. Judy had to curl up, like in a shoe box, walls, ceiling and floor pressing onto her from all sides. The room started groaning and buckling, and finally it gave way, walls, roof and floor disintegrating into a million splinters. Judy let out a gasp as she was suddenly up and the air and dropped along with the remains of the room into water. She quickly dove up and gasped for air. She actually swallowed some water which caused her to shrink back to her original size.
„HAH! WHAT! WHY AM I IN THE SEA NOW?!?!“
Fortunatly she was close to a beach so she swam towards it as fast as possble. She walked ashore, completely drenched and furious.
„If I catch that rabbit, police brutality will get an entirely new meaning!“
She sat down on a rock at the beach to calm down (and dry up a bit). As she was pouring water from her shoes she watched some animals partying around a campfire in the distance, but decided not to bother with that. She did let out a sigh and after she dried up she walked into the forest behind the beach, hoping to get to a street that leads her back into the city.
Judy was walking throgh the forest for almost a half hour, her mind working restlessly. What is going on? What is happening to her? What IS this place? Whats up with her clothes? How did she change sizes? Was she on some kind of drug? Maybe like a new variation of nighthowler that makes you hallucinate? Again, what IS this place? She had also noticed as soon as she walked into the forest that something about it was... off. She was a quite tomboyish child so she did spend a lot of time in the outdoors, especially in forests, but this forest here? It was nothing like she had ever seen before. The colors were strangly vibrant, the proportions of evereything were off, everything was too clean, it all seemed somewhat cartoonish.
Finally she came to a path that lead to a clearing on which a small, old cottage was standing. It seemed like something that could have been build in Bunny Burrows about a century or two ago. It had a stone groundfloor and a half timbered upper floor with a thatched roof. Again the colours where much too bright and vibrant, but other than that, Judy actually liked the way it looked. „Well then, maybe they have a phone so can call HQ.“ Judy thought to herself.
She walked up to the door and read the name „W. Rabbit“. „Huh. Another rabbit.“ she thought as she knocked on the door.
The door was answerd by a mouse in an oldfashioned maid uniform. Judy was at first taken aback, since the mouse was almost a half head taller than her, with long, slender arms and legs, but then Judy thought that that poor mouse must have eaten something that had changed her like that, just like it had happend to her, so she decidet not to mention it.
The mouse asked with a timid voice: „Yes? Ah, good day, Miss. How may I be of service?“
Judy gave her a smile: „Hello, Miss. Officer Judy Hopps, ZPD. I need to use your phone. May I come in?“
The mouse looks a bit puzzled. „Our...foone? I...I´m terribly sorry, Miss. I´m afraid I can´t help you with that.“
I´m that moment Judy spottet a small old fashioned black and white photography on the wall behind the mouse. It was that white rabbit!
„Never mind that, this photo, who is this?“
-„Ah? That? That is my master. Master White Rabbit. This is his house and I am his house maid, Mary-Ann Mouseby. Why are you asking, Miss?“
Judy got all serious: „Miss, your boss has assaulted an police officer earlier today. I look for him to question him. Is he available?“
Mary-Ann gasps in shock: „The master attacked a constable? Goodness, that doesn´t sound like him at all! I mean, he can be rude, tacktless, thoughtless, pushy, headless and witless but he would never disrespect authroity. He is at the moment not at home, Ma´am. I expect him to come home soon, thou. Would you like to come in? I could offer you a tea while you wait.“
Judy smiles at her: „Thank you very much, Miss. I gladly wait. Maybe it all was just some missunderstanding. I´m sure we can clarify it.“
Judy was about to step inside, but Mary-Ann stopped her: „Ah, Ma´am. If you please, I just wiped the floors, would you kindly take your shoes off?“
Judy took off her mary-janes and wiggles her stocking covered toes: „Oh yes. Thats actually much better. I ususally dont wear shoes, they felt a bit constricting.“
Mary-Ann gasped lightly and blushed as she looked at Judys big bunny feet. „I...I see Ma´am...“
She quickly turns around to lead Judy into the salon. „So you are with the constabulary? That is a quite unusual profession for a female rabbit, if you don´t mind me saying this.“
Judy couldn´t help but chuckle: „You could say so, but I am doing good. You see, I believe that if you work for it and believe in yourself you can achieve almost everything. You just have to try it.“
Mary-All looks puzzled: „So... I could be more than a house maid?“
-“Of course! Not that there is anything wrong with it, but if you feel like there could be more in your life, you need to look how you could change it and then work hard for that goal.“
Mary-Ann nodded and smiled: „You really think I could achieve all of my dreams?“
-“Of course! Just the sky is the limit!“
Mary-Ann beams: „How inspiring! We need to talk about this more, please make yourself comfortable while I fetch some tea!“
She rushed off into the kitchen, leaving Judy to wander around the salon.
„What a sweet mouse. Hard to believe that she works for that weirdo. You, know, this is actually a cute little house. I could see myself living in something like this in the suburbs...“ Judy thought to herselft while looking around. The room was perfectly bunny sized, but very old fashioned and filled with trinkets stuff. Without thinking whe took a small cookie from a porcellain bowl and bit into it. An she swallowd she looked at the cookie in suprise. It read „Try everything“.
„Uh oh...“
The effect was almost instant. Judy started to grow bigger again, slowly at first but steadily faster. She tried to turn for the door, but realized in shock that she was allready too big for that. She bumped her head at the ceiling and had to sit down with a loud bump. Mary-Ann must have heard the noise and came rushing in.
„Ma´am, what is... AH! MPFPM!“
She was pressed against the wall by Judys massive stocking covered foot paw. Judy could feel her wiggeling.
„I´m so sorry!“
She grew and grew, her head finally breaking through the ceiling into the upper floor. Her upper body and arms followed suit. Her head bonked the ceiling of the upper floor leaving a dent in the thatched roof. That was when she stopped growing. Her lower body and her legs were filling the ground floor, while her upper body, arms and head occupied the second floor. She had to maneuver her right arm out of a window to be less cramped.
Judy groaned: „This is getting stupid. What will I do now?“
Judy could still feel the poor mouse wiggle against her foot. She tried to move it, to ease the pressure on her. It worked and the mouse got out. She could feel her move around her massive legs and tush, rustling through the masses of her dress and petticoat, looking for a way out, slightly tickeling her in the process.
Judy could feel her legs getting cramped: „Maybe... If I just...“
The entire house groaned and buckled as she moved. She moved he left leg to the side and hit with her foot the wall where a window in the ground floor was. The foot crashed right through the wall and her foot plowed through the garden. Judy sighed as she saw her leg and giant foot outside, wiggeling her bigs silk coverd toes: „At least its a LITTLE more comfortable now...“
She didn´t try to move more, as she didn´t really want to destroy more of the house. As it is, it would need some major restorations. She started to wonder if her insurance would cover the costs of damages related to sudden size changes.
Then Judy looked out of the other window. Powerwalking up the path to the house was that White Rabbit.
„HEY! YOU!“ Judy shouted, pointing with the hand out of the window at the rabbit. „STOP RIGHT THERE!!“
The rabbit just let out a shrill shriek and bolted for the woods, shouting something like „Not this again!“
„HEY, WAIT!“ Judy shouted, but to no awail, he was allready gone.
„Grml... I need to get out of here...“ she growled in frustration „Okay, think. Lets be logical. I grow when I eat something. And I shrink when I drink something? So I need to drink something.“
Franticly she was looking around. Most of the funiture was toppled over, or fell to the ground floor through the collapsed floor. But miracioully a mahogany dresser was still standing next to her left arm, unharmed. On top of it was an old wash basin and a pitcher made from white china. She looked in and gasped in relief that there was water in the pitcher. She carefully picked up the pitcher with two fingers and drank the water. As soon as she had sat the pitcher down again, Judy could feel herself contracting.
„Ah, that better!“ She gasped in relief.
She shrank back to her original size, but kept shrinking untill she was about the size of a mouse.
„Thats too much! Ugh... I have to deal with that later. I have to catch that damn rabbit...“
She jumped up and ran to the front door.
She stopped as she saw her shoes standing next to the door, they were as big as cars to her now.
„I can´t wear those anymore. Ah, nevermind. I prefer to run barepaw anyway.
Judy sighs „Its gonna be hard enough to catch up with him, I could barely keep pace with him when I was normal sized....“
So she ran out of the garden into the forest, in the diretion the white rabbit ran off. But soon she got lost in the thick undergrowth, weird looking insects and rude flowers in her way (the flowers talked, which was weird enough, but at this point Judy was getting used to the fact that crazy things happend all the time here). One violet was starting to insult her, but was quickly shut up when Judy reminded it that bunnys actually eat flowers. So she could continiue her way in relative peace, grumbling to herself because she was really getting fed up with all of this.
Finally she saw smoke in the distance rising up.
„Thats odd, I hope nobody is having a bonfire. Wildfires can start easy at this time of year. I better investigate...“
As she got closer she noticed that she smoke looked...odd, almost like letters reading
„OOOOOMMMMMMMM“
Judy groaned
„This is going to be something dumb again, isn´t it?“
She pushed aside some blades of grass, in front of her stood several huge, bright purple mushrooms. On the largest one sat a character that Judy could only describe as a mix of a yak and a caterpillar, a yakerpillar? He was shaggy with a bovine head coverd in a mop of fur. He had three pairs of arms and a multitude of legs. The yakerpillar sat crosslegged in a type of lotus positionon (which looked kind of awkward with his many legs) on the fungus, eyes closed, appearantly in deep meditation. While doing so he was smoking a large colorfull hookah, Judy was halfconvinced that the substances in the hookah were anything but legal.
She stood in front of the mushroom an politely cleared her throat.
„Ahem.“
If the yakerpillar had heard her, he choose to ignore her, he kept on humming.
„Ommmmmmmm.“
Judy tried it again, a little more assertive.
„Exuse me, sir...“
-“OMMMMMMMMMMM“
-„HEY!!!“
Finally the Yakerpillar snapped out of his trance: „Whu? Like, who are you, and why are you harshing my mellow?“
Judy straigthend herself „Ah. Excuse me, sir. I´m Officer Judy Hopps, ZPD. I am looking for a certain White Rabbit in matter of a constanly growing list of offences...“
The Yakerpiller took a long drag from his hookah. „So?“
Judy grit her teeth: „So what? I need to find him and I ask you if you could do anything to assist me in that matter.“
-“Nah... Can´t do that. Don´t know that bunny and why he is wanted by the man...“
Judy looks confused: „Man?“
-“Huh?“
-“Whats a... „Man“?“
-“I dunno. What IS a man?“
-“But you just said... Oh nevermind! I won´t find him anyway. Not like this.“ Judy gestured down her body with both handpaws.
The Yakerpillar leaned forward, now curious: „Now what is your problem?“
Judy sighed „I am far to small, smaller than a mouse. Two centimeters is a ridiculous size.“
The yakerpillar huffed, now offended: „Whoa! Like, whoa! Uncool! I AM two centimeters tall and I am not okay with your sizeist remark!“
Judy blushed and backed away slightly: „I...I am terribly sorry. I am sure your size is great for you, but... It´s not my regular size, you know. Usually I am much larger!“
-“Huh! Get used to it them!“ The yakkerpillar blew out a large cloud of pink smoke cowering himself completely.“
Judy cried out „But I don´t want to get used to it!“
The cloud of smoke blew away and the Yakkerpillar was gone. Judy looked puzzled, and checked the mushroom from all sides: „Uh.. Sir? I... What the...?“
Suddenly the Yakkerpiller flew down onto her. He had transformed into a butterfly (Yakkerfly?) with large, beautyfull multicolored wings: „Fine then. One side makes you larger, the other side makes you smaller.“
Judy looked around: „Uh. Which sides of what?“
The Yakkerfly rolled his eyes: „Seriously? Of. The. SHROOM! Like, they let anybody into the police these days...“
Before Judy could ask anymore questions he darted around and flew of grumbling to himself. Judy looked after him speechless for a moment, then she proceeded to walk around the mushroom. „One side? But the thing is round! Unless...“
She broke of a piece of the top of the mushroom, then another piece from the bottom. „Okay, I have to test this very carefull. I need to figure out which side of the mushroom makes me bigger and which one makes me smaller.“
She carefully sniffed, then nibbled on the bottom piece.
* WHAP! *
Her chin hit the top of her feetpaws.
It took her a second to realize what had happend. She shrunk so instantly that her body, arms and legs had contracted into herself so that basically just her head, footpaws and handpaws were left.
And she was still contracting! She could still feel a pull inwards at what was left of her neck, wrists and ankles. As she looked around she saw that she had overall shrunken, as the mushroom was now the size of a skyscraper to her and it was still getting bigger, grains of sands around her where turning into huge rocks. Judy desperately tried to move the paw with the top piece of the cap to her mouth. Her handpaws were basically pulled into the base of her head, as where the heels of her foot paws, which where, as she realized with terror, getting shorter and stubbier. She could feel how hear ears were getting pulled into her head. She had to act fast if she didn´t want to completely implode. She smacked the top piece with a lot of strain onto her face, but couldn´t even open her mouth anymore because her lower jaw was firmly pressed into the silkcovered surface of her footpaws. Luckily (if you could call it like that) her lower jaw was pulled back so that she could grab the piece of the morsel with her tounge and pull it in.
The effect was instantanious.
The feeling of contracting made way for a feeling of beeing pulled into all directions at the same time. She was growing, but in a very weird way. She was not only growing bigger, she was stretching. Her arms, legs, body, neck, paws, ears, even her muzzle, was streching longer and longer. Her head quickly rose over the tree tops.
„Stop! STOP!!!“ She cried out.
Stopping it did, but only after she grew to ridiculus proportions. The trees were at her shins, which where like every part of her body grotesquely stretched. She was over 200 meters tall, but all thin and noodley. She looked town her muzzle which almost looked like the snout of an anteater, her ears where flowing in the wind like long banners. She looked down at herself but regretted it quickly, as she was looking down a giraffe neck that ended in a long sausage of a body, which branched of in long stick limbs. „Oh no, no, no, NO!“
She tried to move, but since her body was so long and gangly, she almost fell down. Every movement was awkward. She carefully moved the handpaw, which fingers where like long weird claws, with the bottom piece of the mushroom to the mouth at the front of her trunk like snout. And gave it a small nibble.
* FOOOMP *
She quckly contrackted again and stopped at a size of about 30 centimeters, her arms, legs and body was short andstubby.
Judy groaned: „Still not completely right...“
She carefully took a tiny, little nibble from the top side.
* ZIP *
Judy shot up again, now she was stretched up to about 3 metres, and her limbs were streched out again, but not as ridiculus as before. She looked down at herself and noticed that her proportions were similar as the proportions of that mouse maid. „Huh, maybe thats what happend to that poor girl...“
Now she gave the bottom piece of the mushroopm a very carefull lick.
* ZOOP *
She shrank again but only little enough to finally get back to her normal size. „Oof, that was something...“
She looked at the two pieces of mushroom in her handpaws. „Hm... Better keep that. Maybe it will be usefull again at some point...“
She put the pieces into the pockets of her apron and looked around. She was in the woods, but now she had a general idea where to go to. When she was ridiculusly tall, she saw some buildings in the distance, possibly a village, so she memorized the general direction she had to go to. So she went off to her way. But that was not as easy as she thought...
As she ventured deeper into the woods Judy tried to look for clues where to go. After wandering around for what felt like hours she sat down on a rock and sighed in frustration.
„This is hopeless!“
„Are you sure about that?“
Judy looked around in confusion, trying to locate the disembodied voice, „Who...who said that?“
A wide smile appeard on a branch above her. „Well, me.“
Like a phantom a bright purple and pink striped fox formed around the smile. He looked down on Judy with a wide grin that was almost unnerving. Judy gasped and jumped up as the fox looked almost exactly like...
„Nick!“
-“Who?“
-“You!“
-“Me?“
The fox chuckled. „You must be mistaken, dear. I am the Cheshire Fox. Pleased to meet you.“
Judy ears dropped „Oh, I´m sorry. For a moment... You look almost like my dear friend Nick!“
The fox looked at this fingerclaws grinning to himself: „I don´t know him, but he sounds like an exeptional handsome, intelligent and charming fellow.“
He looked down to Judy again: „So tell me, what is a cute little bunny like you doing in a place like this?“
Judy flinched at being called cute, but she swallowed it: „Well, I am looking for the White Rabbit.“
Not-Nick looked up, his finger tipping his chin as if he was deep in thought. „White Rabbit, White Rabbit... Hmmm. Older, chubby fellow? White fur, red eyes, glasses? Large pocket watch? Always in a hurry and kinda rude?“
Judy beamed. „YES! YES!“
The fox shrugged „Sorry. Never saw him in my entire life.“
Judy sat down again. „Augh. I just want to know where to go!“
Cheshire Fox leaned forward „Well, why didn´t you say so?“
He pointed down the path „This way lives the Mad Hatter. He is a Hatter and he is mad.“ He pointed in the other direction „And that way lives the March sloth. He is quite sloooow. Also he is mad too.“
Judy huffed „And where do I get to animals that are not mad?“
-“Nowhere. This is Wonderland, everybody here is at least a little mad. I´m mad, you´re mad...“
-“I am not mad!“
-“Yes you are. You are talking to a fox that is not quite here after all...“
With these words the Cheshire fox slowly dissapeared, like smoke from a blown out candle. Only his wide smile stayed for a little longer untill it also faded away.
Judy stared for a moment in disbelief untill she decidet to walk in the direction of the March sloths house.
After a short walk she actually reached the house. It was an unkempt looking, one story building with a wavy, thatched roof, that had a lot of moss growing on it.
„The fox said those people are mad, still I hope they can help me somehow...“ Judy thought.
As she walked around the house, into the back yaed, she noticed that everything was quite dirty and run down. In the backyard was a long table with missmatched chairs all around it and a mess of dirty plates and cups on top of it. It all looked like there has been a party here the other day and nobody had botherd to clean up afterwards. There was even still halfeaten cake on the table. On one chair was a sloth that looked suspiciously like Flash, he wore fake bunny ears, that Judy thought were kind of insulting. Next to him was a weasel in an oldfashoined coat wearing a ridiciously oversized top hat, he suspiciously looked like Duke Weaselton. They both spottet Judy at the same time.
The weasle cried out. „NO ROOM!!! NO ROOM!!!“
The sloth tried to chime in: „Noooooooo........“
Judy was immediatly stupefied: „What are you talking about? There are plenty of chairs! Also I don´t really think I want to join you...“
-“......rooooooooom....“
The weasel snaped at her: „Well good then, you are not invited to our little outing anyway!“
-“.....Nooooooooo.......“
Judy sighed: „I... Look, I just have a question or two, then I leave you with... whatever you are doing here... Do you know anything about a white rabbit?“
-“...rooooooom.....“
The weasle hatter gave her a smug grin: „Oh I know something about him!“
J udy beams: Really? What do you know?“
The weasel leaned forward: „ I know that he is not here. And so should you. I mean be not here. Now scram. We have important tea party business to attent!“
Judy was fuming.“Oh, I´ll go allright! I´d rather wander through these stupid woods for a week than spend another minute with you rude jerks and your second-rate party!“
With that she turned on her heel and stomped off along the path away from the house. All she heard behind her was the weasel shouting „SECOND-RATE?!?“ and the sloth saying „Whaaaaaat...... waaaas.....heeeeer...............................................problem?“
Judy marched into the forest cursing to herself about the previous encounter. After a while she stopped and looked around.
„AAAUUUUGH! Where the heck am I going?“ She cried out in frustration.
„I don´t know. Where are you going?“
Judy head whipped around. On the branch above her was the Cheshire Fox, lying on his belly looking down on her with his big grin.
„YOU!“Judy shouted.
-“ I mean if you don´t know where you are going, how am I supposed to know?“ He chuckled
„By the way, how did you like the March Sloth and the Mad Hatter?“
-“They were horrible! They were rude, abrasive and didn´t help me at all!“ Judy cried out
The fox shrugged and smiled: „Pity. I find them actually quite agreeable, when they are not at one of their silly tea parties. Which they always are. I don´t really care for tea, I´m more of a Double Mocca Blueberry Frappochino kind of guy...“
Judy was really starting to get frustrated with him: „Please... I just want to know where to go. I want to get out of this dumb forest!“
The fox looked down on her again, now somewhat compassionate“ Aw... I can´t stand to see a cute, widdle thing like you sad like that... Lets see...“
He looked around
„A-HA! Why don´t you try this for a change?“
He knocked three times on the trunk of the tree he was sitting on, and suddenly a door opend up on the three, leading to a beautyfull garden. Judy coudn´t believe her eyes as this was the garden she saw earlier through the small door.
She clapped her handpaws: „Thank you! I think this may finally be my way back into the city!“
The fox raised one finger „One fair warning. If you go into this garden, you enter the domain of the Queen of Lambs. She can be unpleasant, since she has some anger issues. Needles to say that she is quite mad too.“
Judy smiled at him: „Thank you. Of all the animals here in this weird land, you are one of the nicest.“
The fox blushed and dissapered just mumbling something like: „I...I just like to mess with people... but if you think so...“
Judy chuckled, thinking how much this strange fellow and Nick were alike. Then whe took a deep breath, straightend herself and took a step through the door into the garden.
It was really one of the most beautyfull garden Judy had ever seen. Hedge mazes and pleasant large lawns with rosebushes cunt into the shape of sheep (odd), small fountains and stone benches in the cool shade. The precisely cut grass tickled her stocking clad feet paws. Behind the hedges she could see the spires and towers of a castle rise, she rememberd the warning of the Cheshire Fox. Queen of Lambs wasn´t it? Judy still decidet to take her chance and go to the castle.
As she was walking through the gardens, which were in their dimensions more like the central park of Zootopia, she suddenly heard a patter of paws around a corner of a hedge maze and a familliar sounding voice crying out „Oh no, I´m still late! She will be quite irate!!!“
Judy glanced carefully around the corner, and indeed, it was that fat old rabbit again. As he passed, Judy streched out her paw and tripped him. He flew almost two meters and landed face first in the gras. Judy didn´t even gave him a chance to get up again. She grabbed his hand paws and put her knee into his back. „Wha..? No! No! What are you doing? I have to get to the queen! She will have my head!“
-“I won´t take your head, but you still have a lot to answer for, mister! Assault on a police officer resistace against the law, possibly drugging and abducting an officer, and I´m pretty sure you were abusing that poor maid in one way or another!“
The rabbit squirmed: „B..but the Queen!“
Judy was really losing her patience with him: „I don´t give a bit of droppings about some stupid queen!“
-„WHAT...was that?“
Judy froze when she heard that sharp yet familliar voice behind her. She slowly turned around. Behind her, surrounded by rams in some weird medevial looking uniforms, stood what seemed to be Bellwether, dressed up in a colorfull regal gown, and a tiny little crown on her wooly head. But how could that be? She was in prison!
She was sending daggers at Judy with her eyes. „Stupid queen?“
Judy was getting off the White Rabbit and slowly backing off: „I... I didn´t mean...“
Queen bellwether shrieked „SEIZE HER!!!“
The ram guards jumped her and tackled her like rugby players. The force punched the wind out of her and she blacked out.
When she came back to her senses she was sitting on a stool in the middle of what seemed to be a giant bizarre court room. Animals were sitting all around on benches and ram guards holding pikes were allaround eyeing everybody suspiciously. Behind the tall bench the Queen was eyeing Judy angryly. She hit the bench with the gavel. „Order! Order! We will now hold trial against this bunny for her my crimes against the crown and its realm. Just to name a few: Lèse-Majesté, vandalism, vagabundism, stealing the royal pancakes...“
The White Rabbit next to her harrumph. She gave him a short side glance and rolled her eyes “...Oh, and attacking the royal herald. Plead guilty so we can behead you and have tea.“
J udy was aghast: „WHAT? I am not going to plead guilty! It is a missunderstanding. Also I never stole any pancakes!“
The queen leaned forward: „Oh really? And what about those?“ She pointed to a table on which a large plate with jucy looking pancakes stood.
Judy shook her head in confusion: „I have never seen those pancakes before!“
Queen Bellwether hrumphed: „We´ll see about that...“
She shriked: „Call in the first withness!!!“
The Weasel Hatter came stormed in: „Yes her majesty, thats her! She came to our tea party.
UN!
IN!
VITED!
And then she said our tea party was SECOND-RATE! Outragious!
The Queen nodded: „Quite. That also makes her a liar, Everybody knows your tea parties are third-rate at best...“
The weasel nodded furiously: „Exactly! Wait...what?“
Queen Bellwether, continiued, obviously bored that they had to to this the hard way and that she couldn´t get right to chopping heads off: „What were you celebrating anyway?“
The weasel grinned “Why today is my un-birthyday!“
Bellwether perked up: „Really? Mine too! What a coincidence! Jury write this down, this is VERY important!“
The Hatter begann pulling out a cake out of his massive hat and presenting it to the queen, everybody started singing and Judy felt a migrane coming up. Suddenly she heard a familliar smooth voice next to her: „Well, I sure hope they spare a slice of cake for me!“ The head of the cheshire fox appeard right next to her.“
Judy gasped: „Fox!“
The fox head grinned at her: „Seems like you got yourself in quite a mess, dear. Didn´t I warn you not to cross the Queen?“
-“I know, I know. Look, can you help me getting out of this Kangaroo court?“
The fox looked quite suprised: „Langlauge! Thats a quite speciesist expression against kangaroos! But yes, The solution is right in front of your nose.“ he noodded at the pancakes.
Judys face lit up. „Of course, whenever I eat something here I get bigger. And when I´m bigger I can overpower those goons and get out of here!“
Judy jumped of her chair and dashed to the table with the pancakes. Queen Bellwether saw her and yelled: „Seize her!“. But alas, it was too late, Judy quickly gobbled the pancakes up and turned to the ram guards approaching her.
The Fox chuckled: „Bunny gets the pancake!“
Judy let out a small burp. Something was happening, she could feel it. A rumbling started in her belly. The ram guards stopped and looked confused. Suddenly Judy surged outwards and more than doubled in size. A loud gasp was going through the crowd in the courtroom. Another surge, Judy doubled her size again.
And again.
And again!
At this point Judy noticed with some concern that with each spurt she did not only grow taller but her whole figure was getting...huskier. She was getting a pudgy belly, her formaly firm tush was rounding out and even her arms and legs were thicking.
Another spurt, her head was hitting the celing. Judy was sitting doown on her now quite generous rear. At this point the crowd was in panic and stormed out of the court room. Even the ram guards were taling their hooveds in their hands and rushed to the exits. Only the Queen of Lamdbs remained and bleated orders and threads at everybody, she even yelled at Judy to stop growing. At this point Judys growth had changed from spurts to a steady swelling, and she started to fill the court room like rising dough. The Queen finally realized that this was out of her hand and scrambled for the doors, making it out just in time before Judys increasing girth blocked the exit. Judy was increasingly cramped as she was not only getting bigger but also fatter. Luckily her clothes seemed to keep pace with her increasing mass. She could feel the pressure of the building around her increasing. Something had to give soomer or later. The windows and doors or the court room blew out, easing the presure a little by spilling bulged of soft, swelling flesh outside and into the rest of the castle. Soon rooms and halls of the castle were filling with ever expanding bunny flesh, plowing down and crushing funiture and doors. Soon Judy was spilling out of every opening of the castle, windows, doors, even chimneys. Still she was growing, still the pressure was rising, threatning the stuctural integrity of the building.
Then it happend, at first only some turrets and alcoves of the building bursted, then the entire superstructure of the castle began to crack. At first it was a deep, low groan, then the castle literally explodet, shooting bits of debis for miles in every direction. Free of the confines Judy plopped into shape. She was humongous and still growing. Her once petite and athletic body was bloated to a massive bulge, her arms and legs were cones, immobile and flattening as they were slowly sinking into her expanding body. Her and foot paws were bloated too into relatively tiny balloons, with her fingers and toes foming even smaller balloons, relatively tiny as even her smallest finger was now bigger than a mansion. Her clothes fought a valid battle but finally they gave way. Hers stockings ripped first, as they couldn´t contain her swelling legs and feet anymore. Then her dress and her underwear started to burst at the seams. Judys face was beetred as she realized what happend.
Finnally the little bow on her right ear popped off, as her ears were quickly swelling too, becoming stiff and fat. Her head was swollen massively, her cheeks forcing her mouth shut, at the same time her eyes began to bulge comically out of her skull.
„Mmuuoohh, Twwoo mwwuuutfff...“ she only managed to moan has head began to sank into her body.
* PANG * * PANG * * PANG * * PANG *
Her hand and feetpaws were ansormed into the rounding ballon of her body, her fingers and toes followed with a serious of smaller pangs. Finally with a * POP* Judys head was absorbed into her body. She was now a flattend sphere, rapidly expanding over the entire country, then the continent, covering forests and mountains. As she apprached the size of the planet, her body startet to grow tight and shiny. Judy startet to panic as she felt that her skin was getting tight as a drum and that she couldn´t possibly grow much larger. Still she grew and grew. Her overstreched body let out a groan that turned into a rubbery creak.
„Please stop! No more!“ Judy pleaded to herself „My body is going to give...“
* * *
Judy opend her eyes and stared at the white panels of a celing,
„Judy!“ A familliar voice bext to her called out „Thank goodness, you are awake!“
Judy looked to the side and saw the worried but somewhat reliefed face of Nick. He was sitting on a chair next to her bed. A hospital bed.
Judy tried to get up, but was getting light-headed. Nick jumped to her side and helped her to sit up.
„Carefull! When you followed that rabbit guy you stumbled into a mammal hole and hit your head pretty badly. The doctor said that you did suffer a mild concussion, but its nothing severe and in a few days you will be back on your feet.“ He grinned and gave her a playfull nudge „Guess that thick skull of yours is good for something after all, eh?“
Judy rubbed her head, There was a bandage on her forehead. She touched it, but winced as it hurt. Nick also cringed a bit: „Carefull Carrots, you got quite a nasty cut when you hit your head, they had to stitch you up.“ He gave her a smirk „You might get a quite badass looking scar out of this.“
She was wearing a patients shirt, open in the back, then the noticed the IV in her arm: „Mhm... How... How long was I cold out?“
Nick scratched the back of his neck: „About two days...“
„Two days?!?“
-“Easy! Calm down! Yes, two days. By the way, they caught that rabbit guy. He had escaped from Calm Meadows mental home about 4 days ago, as you suspected in that radio call. Appearantly he was a bank clerk that snapped one day and thought he was a character from some childrens book...“
Judy gave him a smile: „Two days, and you were sitting here all the time?“
Nick blushed heavily: „Er.. Well. Not all the time, but yes... most of the time... I mean we are partners after all. We have to look out for each other...“
At this moment a cow nurse came in and saved Nick from this embarrasing moment: „Visiting hours, are over Officer. Please give the patient some rest.“
Nick hopped of his chair and walked to the door. „Yes, of course. Thank, you nurse. I´ll see you tomorrow, Carrots. Expect a big „Get Well Soon“ basket from the whole department tomorrow.“
After Nick was gone Judy layed down with a huff. „ So all of this was a dream? Really? What a cop out. I hate it when they do that in stories...“
A few minutes later Judy suddenly noticed some move ment next to her foot paw under the blanket. She furrowed her brow, wondering if her brain had taken damage after all and was now playing tricks on her. Her eyes widend as she saw a mouse in a maid costume crawling out from under the blanket. It was Mary-Ann, the maid from the white rabbits house! She was small, at the normal size for a mouse, but somehow kept the weird gangly proportions she had before. Judys mind was racing as she stared at the tiny female. How was that possible? It was all a dream! Wasn´t it?
Mary-Ann gave Judy a small curtsey: „I am so glad to see you again, Miss.“
Judy could only mutter „Likewise...“
Then she shook her head: „Ho is this possible? How did you get here?“
Mary-Ann gave her a smile: „Well when you grew so beautyfull and big, I was trapped. I couldn´t do anything but hide in the warm, comfortable layers of your clothes. I was there through your entire travel through wonderland and withnessed all of your wonderfull changes. And I had some time to think. I thought for a long time about the inspiring words you said to me. How I can reach all of my dreams and how the sky is the limit.“
Her grin grew wider, and Judy started to feel really uneasy: „There is something I ALWAYS wanted to do, and I want you to witness it, Miss.“
Then she reached into the pocket of her apron and pulled out a large bowl with cookies (how did it fit in there?). Judy realised with horror that it was the bowl of cookies from the White Rabbits house. „I took these as a little memento from my former masters house, before hiding in your dress.“
Mary-Ann then dumped all of the cookies in her maw. Her cheeks where fat like a chipmunks as she threw the bowl to the ground and started to grow. Judy was frozen with terror. With in seconds Mary-Ann was as big as Judy. Mary-Ann leaned down: „And as a sign of my gratitude I want to share this experience with you, Miss.“
Mary-Ann was now already a bit bigger than Judy as she gave Judy a passionate kiss. Judy shudderd as she felt how Mary-Ann pushed many, MANY, of the cookies from her mouth down her throat. She instantly startet to grow too. She looked at the insane mouse wide-eyed. Mary-Ann laughed out „You and me together, Miss! The sky is the limit!“
The room shook as the bed collapse under their weight. They quckly filled the room, Judys face was squished into Mary-Anns bosom. „Ohoho! Miss! How naughty!“ Mary-Ann giggled.
Judy was horrified beyond any reasonable thought. All she could think was: „This isn´t happening. This isn´t happening. This isn´t happening.“
Cracks started to form in the walls all around them. Suddenly the floor collaped under them, crashing in the room below, buring everything below. Judy dropped against the wall and crashed into the neighboring room. Then the floor of this room collapsed unter them too. They continiued to grow and plow through the hospital burying everything and everybody under them.
Finally they broke out of the collapsing building. Judy looked down at herself and noticed that, instead of the patients shirt, she was suddenly wearing the blue dress she wore in Wonderland again. Even the stockings, shoes and bow on her ear were back. She looked at the mouse, but Mary-Ann was lost in total bliss. Still the grew. They grew fast. Even as they were sitting down they were climbing in heightfirst douzends of meters then hundreds of meters by the second. They destoryed the city just by sitting and growing over the city. Judy started to hyperventilate as she was causing complete devastation, trying not to think how many animals she killed just by sitting there. Soon they outgrew the city, they heads climbed over the clouds. They covered the entire continent. The crust of the planet started to crack under their weight. Mary-Ann leaned forward and stared Judy in the eyes, an insane grin on her face. „You and me, Miss, you and me. The sky is the limit!“
As they grew the planet crumbled and broke apart below them. They floated in the void of space. Judys mind was racing as she tried to collect herself. How where they able to breath? They...just destroyed the world. Nick, Mom, Dad, everybody was dead! Judy let out a cry of anguish, not noticing that, while they still grew, other planets crashed into them. She didn´t even notice the sun fizzle out on the knee, leaving a tiny little scorch mark on her stockings. Judy stared at the mouse that was lost in the bliss of endless growth again. A part of her wanted to murder her. To strangle her right here, right now. She fought it down, this mouse was insane, sick, what she did to herself and to Judy was monstrous, yet she couldn´t be blamed for it.
They grew and grew. Soon they swam in stars, then in the galaxy. The galaxy then boke apart and countless stars orbited them untill they shrank out of sight. Countless galaxies floated around them, shrank away and dissapeard. They floated in total darkness, Judy didn´t even knew if they were still growing, untill her rear bumped into a wall. As she grew she noticed that the wall was curved. She realized that Mary-Ann and her were in some kind sind of sphere. Were these the boundaries of the universe? They soon were curled up together in a shrinking sphere. It squeezed them together tighter and tighter. It was starting to get painfull. Judy could feel Mary-Ann gasp, feel her heartbeat in this complete darkness. They were pressed into each other more and more untill finally after what felt like and eternity...
* * *
Judy opend her eyes and stared at the white panels of a celing.
„Judy!“ A familliar voice bext to her called out „Thank goodness, you are awake!“
-“What the heck...?“
Judy looked to the side and saw the worried but somewhat reliefed face of Nick. He was sitting on a chair next to her bed. A hospital bed.
„No.“
Judy tried to get up, but was getting light-headed. Again. Nick jumped to her side and helped her to sit up.
„Carefull! When you followed that rabbit guy you stumbled into a mammal hole and hit your head pretty badly. The doctor said that you did suffer a mild concussion, but its nothing severe and in a few days you will be back on your feet.“ He grinned and gave her a playfull nudge „Guess that thick skull of yours is good for something after all, eh?“
Judy was absolutely confused. „Nick, wh...what is going on?
-“Easy! Calm down! This may come as a shock for you, but you were out for two days. By the way, they caught that rabbit guy. He had escaped from Calm Meadows mental home about 4 days ago, as you suspected in that radio call. Appearantly he was a bank clerk that snapped one day and thought he was a character from some childrens book...“
Judy rubbed her head: „Nick, I have the weirdest feeling of Deja-Vu...“
Nick laid his handpaw on her shoulder. „Yeah, that might be a side effect of the concussion. You need some rest, Carrots.“
Judy suddenly jolted up and flipped the blanked away. Nick looked at her puzzled: „What... are you doing, Carrots?“
Judys looked all over her matress: „I´m looking for a mouse in a maid uniform.“
Nick looked at her with as if she had grown a second head: „A... mouse... In a maid uniform. Carrots, are you feeling okay...?“
Judy fell back into her cushion and sighed: „Yes. Yeah, I am okay. Just...just some weird dreams I had.“
Nick gently pattet her arm: „That probably comes from the concussion too. You did hit your head pretty badly.“
Judy smiled at him: „Thank you, Slick. Thank you for staying with me all the time.“
-“Heh, we are partners, Carrots. We watch each others back. Always.“
At this moment a cow nurse came in: „Visiting hours, are over Officer. Please give the patient some rest.“
Nick hopped of his chair and walked to the door. „Yes, of course. Thank, you nurse. I´ll see you tomorrow, Carrots. Expect a big „Get Well Soon“ basket from the whole department tomorrow.“
After Nick was gone, Judy looked out of the window for a long time. No mouse appeard and caused apocalyptic growth, and Judy wonderd if all that was really just a hallucination made up by her shook up brain. She fully recoverd, but sufferd a shock when she got the hospital bill. But that is a story for another time...
