#womancrushwednesday

Judy crossed her arms and began thumping her foot rapidly against the tile of the ZPD station floor. The habit stemmed from her days in Bunny Borough, and while she promised herself as she got on the train to Zootopia to never do it outside of her hometown, it was a hard habit to break and she found herself doing it most in this very spot. In fact, a lot of animals waited exaggerated times in front of Clawhouser's desk—he was always too distracted by something or another, typically it was Gazelle or a nice glazed donut.

"Oh! Judy!" Clawhauser squealed excitedly. "You're gonna love the update Gazelle did on her app!"

Judy collected herself and smiled, it was hard for her to stay mad at someone so upbeat. After smoothing her ears a bit she hopped on top of the counter to get a better look at his phone. "You're lucky I have a long lunch, ya know," she commented, wanting to point out how long she had to wait but also trying to be nice about it.

"You're the face of ZPD," Clawhauser countered with a grin, "your lunch is as long as you want it to be!"

"Stop that," Judy said instantly. "I never asked to be the face of ZPD. I don't exactly enjoy seeing my face blown up to the size of a hippo on the side of the freeway," she explained as she crossed her arms. To be fair, she wasn't the only face of the department, Nick was also included in most of the shots. Any material made by the ZPD often showcased both of them, the natural enemies turned partners story was a great message, not to mention they were both well known from the Missing Mammal Case.

Clawhauser smiled as he tapped on his phone. "As I was saying," he started as he waited for his Instagrowl app to load. "This new version makes it so that not only can you be on of her dancers"—his smiled widened and his voice grew higher with excitement—"you can now also be in a duet with her!"

Judy's ear perked a bit as the beat to "Try Everything" began, but soon her ears winced a bit as they were met with Clawhauser's rendition of the song. "Wow," she began as she rubbed the back of her head, "that sure is… uh… something!" After waiting a few seconds for the end of the video she spoke up again, "So, can I get that file that Bogo sent up here for me?

"It's literally the coolest thing ever," Clawhauser said happily, clearly blinded by his enthusiasm to really pay attention to what she was saying. "You can also upload it to ZooTube, but I tend to stick to Instagrowl," the cheetah began to ramble. "I mean, it's not exactly getting as many likes as I want, but I think if I can get Nick to do it with me, animals will be double tapping in no time."

Judy cocked her head to the side. "I guess I'm really behind the time with all these social media app things," the bunny shrugged as she looked over the counter to try and see if she could spot the file she needed. "I mean, Nick is Instagrowl all the time, but I don't really understand why."

Clawhauser scoffed as he started scrolling through his feed quickly, clearly looking for something specific. "I would be on it all the time if I was Nick, too. I mean he—Ah, here it is!"

Judy turned her gaze left as Clawhauser turned his phone towards her. Her nose wiggled a bit as she inspected the screen, surprised to see how much of her own face was in his most recent posts. "Wow… I didn't realize how many pictures he had of me on here," she said quietly as she scrolled through his photos, a smile crossing her face as she passed the photo of the two of them on his graduation day.

"Well, duh," Clawhauser said as he rolled his eyes, "you've been his woman crush Wednesday for like the past six months."

Judy rose an eyebrow and paused her scrolling to tap on one of the photos. After a few moments the screen was filled with a photo of her smiling brightly, a wine glass in her left paw and a caption that read: "I used to hate Mondays, but spending them with my girl makes it my favorite day of the week. Even if she does make me watch dumb bunny reality shows. #wcw #womancrusheveryday." Her cheeks grew pink as she read the words "my girl" a few times in her head, only snapping back to reality when Clawhauser cleared his throat.

"That's not even what I was getting at," he said as he turned the phone back towards himself. "He has like half a million followers."

"W—Wow," Judy whispered as her head filled with the thought of half a million animals seeing photos of her. "That sure is a lot of people seeing everything he posts…"

Clawhauser waved his hand in an attempt to relax the bunny. "Trust me, you look nothing but amazing in every photo he publishes of you." He scrolled through through Nick's photos, "Not to mention that he also posts photos of his food, other officers, his mom, selfies, the usual."

Judy nodded, slightly less worried now that she realized she probably was just so focused on seeing her own face that she ignored all the other people in his photos. "That makes sense, but I think I will still stick to my bulletin board and photo strings in my apartment," she said with relief in her voice, her eyes locking on the manilla folder she had been searching for earlier. She carefully slid the file towards herself, not wanting to seem rude by interrupting his train of thought.

"That's so like you," the cheetah said with a smile as he put his phone down. "it's so funny that you and Nick are so opposite yet get along so well." He cradled his chin with the in side of his palm as he rested his elbow on the counter. He was too busy in his own head to notice her opening the folder. "You guys are goals, really."

Judy looked up from the police report she had begun rooting through with a confused look. "Uh, what do you mean goals?"

Clawhauser thought for a moment to find the best way to describe the term. "It's like, people want to be like you. Like, it's people's goal to be like you and Nick."

"Oh," Judy replied, satisfied enough with his explanation to go back to the police file. "It look like this case is pretty isolated, I don't really understand why Bogo want's Nick and I on it… We're usually on bigger files…"

"Maybe he's trying to give you a break?" Clawhauser offered. "I mean, it's theft also, so you never know if it's connected to other files."

Judy's ear twitched at his idea and her face broke into a smile. "You're right! This could be a whole string of robberies all loosely connected!" Her thoughts were going a mile a minute as she scanned the details once again of the case. "I gotta go tell Nick!" she half shouted as she stacked all the papers together neatly and slipped them into the folder.

"Good luck," Clawhauser said as he saluted her. "I'm sure you will catch them in no time, you always do."

The bunny quickly hopped off the counter and began to run off, but soon turned back and looked back up at the desk. "Hey, Clawhauser?" Her nose twitched bit as he leaned over the counter to look at her. "Is the whole woman crush Wednesday thing you were talking about typically romantic?"

He gave her a knowing smile and giggled a bit. "It depends on the person, but I'm pretty sure we both know how Nick probably means it."

Judy's cheeks grew pink as she mulled over his words. She gave him a nod and a smile before turning on her heel and running off towards the briefing room, excited to tell Nick about the case, but also nervous to bring up what she had learned about his Instagrowl.

I changed it to Instagrowl bc it sounds better. I'll put one more chapter up and then it'll be done. thanks for all the reviews!
