"...I don't know how else to describe it," Judy said. "Other than they, well, inflated."
"Inflated?"
"Yeah, you know? Like a balloon. It was just the strangest thing. They took one sip of this...Whatever drink it was. Then their entire body just started expanding like they would do in the cartoons. Exaggerated features and all. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. The Chief certainly didn't either. That's why I'm here, for proof."
"Proof, huh?"
Judy reached into her belt and pulled out the vial she had kept. Beyond the label was a little detail that noted it was a product sold at Stephanie's Shop, like all of her merchandise.
"The guys in CIS examined it but couldn't even explain what it was. So, I figured I'd go to the source even if it got me laughed out of the station. I know what I saw."
"I see," Stephanie inspected the bottle and knew exactly what product it was. "Very brave of you to stand by your beliefs. Though if it's this item you're after, you're going to have to pick out something more...Specific."
"Specific? What do you mean?"
Stephanie stepped out from behind her counter, showing off her full height to Judy as she towered over the tiny rabbit. Poor bunny didn't even come up to her knees as she gulped and followed Stephanie over to a cardboard display over in the corner of the store. Judy took a closer look.
"Bubblebeer?"
"Named after rootbeer, of course. This is that product that I believe your suspect used. What I was getting at was there are quite a lot of options to choose from. Some use helium, some don't. There's also the shape or size you'd like. Is hourglass up your fancy? Pick a flavor, Officer Hopps. To show my cooperation with you, I'll even let you take one as a free sample."
Stephanie then smiled sweetly and wandered back behind her counter, though kept a close eye on Judy as she ran through her options. She was curious what the young rabbit would pick. And she knew that surely Judy wouldn't be able to resist the curious call of the product, hence the free sample.
As for Judy, she was definitely interesting in the strange brand of soda. She had already seen the effects firsthand, after all. And she would need to prove it to Bogo, perhaps by drinking it if she had to. Who could say? The task at hand was picking the right elixir and their flavor names all gave hints as to what the effects might be.
