Chapter Two:

Wizard of

Judy paced around her tiny apartment. Her mind a jumble of thoughts since she'd left the ZPD building. "How could you have made that deal with him?" She said a loud, it had only been the tenth time she'd internally asked herself the same thing before it had say aloud. Pride, simple, stupid, neanderthal pride was the the reason why she'd taken the bait. She was well aware of the answer, but was too guilty to accept it. Nick knew Judy didn't know any dirty jokes. Knew that she didn't wear anything revealing. At one point he'd seen her Happy Bunny Time cartoon underwear and told her that he wasn't surprised in the slightest.

"Crazy!" Judy grunted.

Embarrassing, the mere thought of Nick seeing her like that made her blush. Those were the thoughts she was conditioned to avoid as much as she could. It wasn't that she never thought about stuff like that, but it usually consisted of stuff from sappy romance novels and old movies. Everything she'd ever learned about sex had been from school and her parents. Some choice reading material, nothing more.

Judy strode across her tiny apartment into the bathroom. Angrily she flipped the switch causing the overhead light to flicker on in slow pale flutters. She snatched the cold water handle, turning it on. The sound of rushing water filling the room as well as her ears, drowning out the self deprecating voice in her head. She soaked her hands in the cool water for a second trying to relax the tension in them, before cupping them. Splashing cold water on her face as if she were suffering a fever, or trying to wash away the remnants of a bad dream.

When she rose up, the face in the mirror had a hint of crazy in those purple eyes, something desperate hanging from that bottom lip. Judy was in trouble and she was going to need some help figuring out what to do. Judy turned the water off and went back into other room. On the edge of her desk rest her Icarrot phone, desperately she snatched it up.

"Just a quick...text."

Judy's thumbs flew across the face plate on the phone. If anyone knew how to help her, it would be Clawhauser.

A blue bubble popped on the screen accompanied by a soft blip. She reread her message for typos. 'To: BigPapaCheetahBear, Hey BPCB, remember that thing Nick and I fought about today?

Another blip and the answer came in the form of a green text bubble. 'To: LuckyRabbitsFeet; "Yep!"

"He was right, I M a PCR. I need help."

"Nothin wrong wit it. I like Cinn rolls."

"IKR, but I still need help."

Besides the blipping the room was incredibly quiet except for the sound of Judy's breathing. Time seemed to slip by incredibly slowly, making her feel like Clawhauser was taking forever to respond to her text.

Oh grl, no worries. Just type in Most Popular Kinks in the search engine, it'll twist that halo pretzel style in no time flat.'

'"Thanks, YR a life saver."

'"NP, whatever happens, don't name it after me. 3!"

Judy sat down at her desk, opening her laptop. A cool white light filled the room causing Judy to squint at first. When her eyes adjusted she was greeted by a picture of her family residing on her desktop. She felt as if their eyes were judging her, as if they knew what she was planning on doing. It caused a nauseous feeling in her stomach. Something told her to close the laptop and walk away, but she couldn't give up now. It was a matter of honor, there was no going back.

Judy clicked on her web browser, waiting for it to load up. In the search engine she typed in Clawhauser's suggested search term, 'Most Popular Kink'. Her heart already started to pound just from the possibilities of what she might unearth. When the page finally loaded it was blank except for two links that had nothing to do with what she searched for. There was something above that stated. 'Did you mean: Most popular Kicks instead of Most Popular Kinks.'

"What is wrong with this thing?" Judy asked clicking the link for 'most popular kinks'. Another screen popped up with a large red circle with a cross over it. 'Your safe search is set to Extreme, disable it to see content.' A wave of frustration washed over her as she could almost hear Nick laughing at her for this. The thought that her safe search was set so high only made her angrier. Judy swallowed and roll her eyes. It wasn't until this moment that she realized just how right Nick was about her.

Judy turned off the safe search and clicked to refresh the page. Link after link loaded the words they contained caused Judy's eyes to open wide. She took the stuffed bunny from the corner of her desk next to her lamp and hugged it to her chest before slumping back into her chair.

Each time she scrolled the page, she hugged the bunny a little tighter. There was something vibrating inside of her, something exciting and scared at the same time. Her mouth had gone dry so the next time she spoke her words came out more raspy than she intended.

"We're definitely not in Kansas anymore, Toto." She said to no one in particular and clicked one of the links.
