We would sleep over at Becky's aunt's condominium, and then spend all day together tomorrow. After breakfast, and the Mental Work and Lesson-Sermon, Ma packed a whole suitcase of stuff for the sleepover. After I changed to my swimsuit, I noticed that Ruth was still dressed, and didn't have her swimwear with her. She said, "I'm spending the day with Daisy, so I won't be going to Bikini Beach today." "You sure Daisy won't want to go?" asked Ma. "Her parents forbid it," said Ruth. "They don't want her to have anything to do with Bikini Beach." I checked to see what Ma had packed for me. Good, anything I might need was there: spare clothes, clarinet and clarinet material, ballet material, pajamas, numerous other things. A billfold with a surprisingly large amount of cash was included, apparently for shopping tomorrow. As usual, Mrs. King came by with Vanessa and Helen to pick us up. When I got into the SUV, Helen asked plaintively, "Ruth's not coming?" I repeated what Ruth said. "No, she's spending the day with Daisy." We arrived at Bikini Beach in good time, and met three of the other four girls in the changing room. "I assume Alice will arrive shortly," said Vanessa. As I showered, I realized that concerns and fears about Bikini Beach that were lurking in the back of my mind were unfounded. Surely, Bikini Beach wouldn't change my mind in a bad way, not without me knowing it. Would it? As usual, we had a most wonderful time together. During one of our relaxation times, I considered telling them about Ruth and what we'd overheard about Mrs. Winstead. But then I remembered that the girl Peter had supposedly murdered was Jill, Alice's cousin. I didn't want to violate Ruth's privacy, either. So I said nothing. At closing time, Becky said, "Let's shower and clean up, but don't change out of our swimwear. This is going to be a swimwear sleepover. Get your stuff and wait at the standing area. Aunt Yuko will pick us up." Again, the seven of us piled into her tiny car designed for four. And again, I found myself sitting on Carol's lap, her arms loosely around my waist. The drive to Aunt Yuko's condominium was long and rather bumpy. Along the way, Becky asked, "Did anyone have any trouble with parents concerned that two of you are GIRLs? Aunt Yuko doesn't have a problem, of course." Alice said, "Eh? You think I'd actually tell my parents that two of my girlfriends I'm sleeping over with are former guys, magically changed by Bikini Beach? Heck, I wouldn't have to worry about my parents jumping on me for sleeping with guys; they'd put me in a mental institution for believing such a thing." Carol added, "That's the case for most of us, I'd bet -- at least to a certain degree. I think the problem would be keeping the GIRLs out of our own mind, so that parents don't detect that we might be doing something naughty. You can be sure I didn't say anything to my parents about Bikini Beach changing people." "I don't know what my parents would think, now," said Jen softly. "First, they tolerated Tim when he cleaned up my injury, and even tolerated my occasional visit. Then when they caught both of us n-n-n-n-naked, and they kept me under the strictest control. Then, I went into shock about Tim--" Her eyes crunched up "-- and lay in bed, refused to eat, refused to speak. After I was brought to Bikini Beach and mostly recovered, Mom and Dad allowed me to do pretty much anything I wanted -- even take me to visit Tim in jail -- even get me a bikini for Bikini Beach, something they'd never have done before. They're probably now just grateful to all of you for helping me heal." Alice said, "They probably realized that they prefer a live daughter who does her own thing and might even have sex, than a dead daughter who's completely under their control -- if, for obvious reasons, isn't exactly obedient" Vanessa added her own perspective, as one of the GIRLs. "My parents don't have trouble with me sleeping over, either with boys or girls, although Dad would probably have trouble with me being a girl." I was very sleepy from all our activities at Bikini Beach when we finally arrived, and saw that the living room all prepared for us with blankets and pillows. I grabbed a blanket and a pillow, went to a corner of the room and lay down to sleep, hoping to keep the noise out. The last thing I heard as I fell asleep was Aunt Yuko saying, "Girls, I have to work tomorrow, so I need my sleep. Please keep things down to a dull roar." . . . . "... I am eternally grateful for Mrs. Eddy and her discovery." An elderly lady finished her testimony and sat down. I had my own testimony all ready -- how I finally remembered to wear one-piece swimsuits instead of bikinis to Bikini Beach -- and I was terrified to give it. "Coward. You're just too scared." Error was whispering in my ear, "You just can't do it. You'll never give your testimony." Error had a rasping whisper that set me all abuzz, and was pulling me away from God. "Ma! Pa!" I tried to shout, but the words caught in my throat. Their attention was fully on the First Reader up front, and they couldn't see or hear me being pulled away. The big bad Error kept pulling me away, mocking me in its rasping tone that nobody else could hear. And I woke up. Did I scream? My heart beat like crazy, and I was breathing hyperfast. Oh God, the nightmare! I eventually calmed down, remembering where I was: lying on my side at the sleepover. Someone lay right behind me, her arm draped over me: Carol. I really had to go to the bathroom, so I carefully removed Carol's arm and quietly made my way across the sprawling sleepers to the bathroom. I tried to find where to grab to lower my PJ panties, only realizing after a minute that I was wearing my swimsuit. I had to peel off the entire swimsuit from my torso before I could sit on the toilet with relief. I made it back to my sleep area. Carol was still asleep, and I quietly slid back into my former position. Still asleep I think, Carol turned and lay her arm across me again, and pressed up against me. It took a little while to get back to sleep. I lay awake pondering, did I really want to give that testimony in church next Wednesday? About finally remembering to wear a one-piece swimsuit after repeatedly forgetting and wearing bikinis? The thought reminded me of Brandon -- I would be facing him at clarinet lesson, after being shocked to the core at seeing him as a bikini-clad lady at Bikini Beach. "I'm so very sorry," he said. "I didn't know..." He looked so shamefaced. He was wearing his usual clothes, and was definitely back to his male self. "It's okay," I almost cried, I felt so sorry for him. I was in my swimsuit, because we were in the middle of the swimsuit sleepover and it was clarinet lesson time. I reached up to his shoulders and pulled him down and myself up on tip-toes. His arms came around my waist, and we were kissing. It felt so fantastic, I was on the floor and he was on top of me, we were kissing for all we were worth and rocking up and down. My swimsuit crotch felt so wet, and a wonderful feeling swept and buzzed over me. I woke up, found myself kissing Carol on top of me, still feeling electrified and buzzed all over, humming and gasping through the kisses, my crotch clenching and releasing, thrusting back and forth. I eventually calmed down, although my crotch still occasionally jumped, sending ever weakening jolts through me. Carol had her eyes closed; I couldn't tell whether she was asleep or awake. I twisted my head back and forth to stop the kissing, whispering, "Carol! Carol!" "Wha-- what are we doing?" Carol whispered. "Why are we kissing? I was dreaming." In the faint light of the room, I more felt than saw her blush fiercely. "I need to go to the bathroom now." "I need to clean off my swimsuit." I got up and followed her to the bathroom. She sat on the toilet while I removed my swimsuit and rinsed it off. I also had to clean my own crotch off. After finishing the toilet, she also rinsed her bikini bottom off. She also rinsed her top off, although I couldn't see why. We hung our swimsuits over the shower curtain. "So what were you dreaming?" she asked. I felt quite embarrassed. "It was clarinet lesson. Brandon felt so sorry about freaking me out, that I couldn't help kissing him. It got quite passionate." "I noticed. Anyway, I was dreaming that I was kissing a boy. It was a boy, yet somehow it was you as well. Maybe you as a boy. My dream was horribly mixed up." She shook her head. We wrapped towels around ourselves, and returned to the living room. I was planning on finding my suitcase and getting my pajamas out, but it was too dark and I didn't want to wake anyone up, so I decided to sleep nude. She lay down next to me, and I shortly fell asleep. Friday Morning I awoke, apparently the first to awaken. I was still lying next to Carol, both of us nude. She was still asleep. I wrapped the towel around me, and found my suitcase, and went to Aunt Yuko's bedroom to get dressed. She had already left for work, and it was already 10:00 in the morning. I was shocked to see green symbols painted on my toenails: star, heart, diamond, spade, club, among other symbols. Had someone pranked me last night while I was asleep? I'd never painted my fingernails or my toenails before; such behavior was, frankly, slutty. I decided to worry about it later. I decided to put my ballet gear on now. I usually changed at the studio, but I had a hunch that, with the girls, I wouldn't have time today. I put jeans on over my ballet gear. Everyone else was beginning to wake up when I returned to the living room. Becky was already awake. "How do I get to the mall for my lessons?" "We take the bus. We'll all go together. Go find something to eat in the kitchen, while I rouse the rest of them." I found some orange juice, and some bread which I put in the toaster. "Everyone up and get dressed!" shouted Becky. "We need to get Lucy to her clarinet lesson with Brandon." Now that wasn't funny! To tell the truth, I was getting more and more scared of seeing Brandon again. I'd planned on wearing shorts today, because I knew Pa wouldn't see me, but thinking of Brandon made me too embarrassed to even let him see me in shorts. I decided on jeans and tee-shirt. Carol also wore jeans and a sleeveless top -- looking indescribably attractive -- while everyone else wore shorts with various tops. We all took the bus to the mall. I had no idea how the bus system worked. At home, we either walked, or Ma or Pa drove us. But Carol explained it to me. "They used to accept cash. But they don't any more. Instead, they use a bus-card One can use it for guests as well as herself. The system deducts the number of fares the first time we get on, and then detects that we've already paid when we transfer to another bus. I'll pay for you." "No," said Becky. "You're my guest, Lucy. I'll pay for you. I have my own bus-card" "No, no, I'll pay," repeated Carol. The debate between Becky and Carol went on until the bus rolled up. Carol got it first, and so paid my fare. We got to the mall in good time. As I got off, I spotted a machine, one I'd seen many times before and ignored, although I knew it was for buses "You can get new bus-cards there," said Carol. "Or have one refilled. You can also get monthly passes good for any number of rides in a month, but they're rather expensive unless you ride each way at least four times a week." I decided I wanted to get a bus-card, just in case. I inserted a five-dollar bill into the device, and a card came out, along with a screen message telling me I had four rides on the card. I stowed it carefully next to my Bikini Beach pass. Carol also added more money to her bus-card She inserted a twentydollar bill, adding seventeen rides to her card. "There's a bonus ride, when you pay twenty dollars or more," she explained. We had time for a salad snack at the deli beforehand. My stomach was sinking lower and lower as the time approached. We were all walking toward Shandy's when Jen exclaimed, "That's the store! Spells R Us. Let's take a look!" I looked where she pointed, but couldn't seem to find it. Jen started off in that direction, but both Vanessa and Becky grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back. "Please, can't we just take a look?" begged Jen. "Trust us, Jen. You don't want anything to do with SRU," said Becky. "You know what they say. If you ever see SRU, do not walk, run away." "And we need to get to Shandy's for Lucy's clarinet lesson," added Vanessa. She picked Jen up and carried her the rest of the way, only letting her down after we entered Shandy's. "Thanks, guys. I was being irresistibly attracted to that store," said Jen. "I didn't even see it," I said. "Neither did I," said Alice. "Neither did I," said Becky. "But I knew it was there, once Jen got that attraction and mentioned it." "I saw it," said Vanessa. "And I felt the unnatural attraction. Even knowing its danger, I think I would have been unable to resist it, except for the need to protect Jen." She looked down at Jen with obvious affection, and Jen leaned hard against her. I assembled my clarinet, and we all listened to the last few minutes of the saxophone lesson that preceded mine. "Nervous?" asked Alice. "Terribly," I answered. "I find that it helps to take a loooooong, sloooooooow, deeeeeeeeeeep breaaaaaath before a test that I'm worried about," said Vanessa. Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I inhaled. Haaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I exhaled. I felt a little better, a little less anxious. Eventually, the girl with the saxophone emerged, followed by (gulp) Brandon, in his usual masculine form. "Lucy, I'm so glad, and a bit surprised, that you came this week. I'm so very sorry for the shock I gave you last week at Bikini Beach. Hello, girls. You must be Lucy's friends -- including that wonderful singer." He directed that toward Vanessa. Back to me, he asked, "Shall we go?" I glanced at my friends. They all gave me encouraging smiles, and Carol and Becky both gave me thumbs up. I followed Brandon into the private lesson room. "Again, I'm very sorry," he said. "It's okay. It's just that I had absolutely no idea about Bikini Beach changing people like that. I've since learned quite a bit about Bikini Beach. "Still, your reaction was predictable. I knew about your crush on me. I could have pretended to be my sister or cousin or something." Oh my God, he knew! I blushed in embarrassment. "I tried to keep it hidden." I was near tears. "Oh, I've been aware of it for some time. It was pretty transparent. Quite flattering, I must say, although also embarrassing for me as well. I didn't know what to do. It would have been unethical --- not to mention jailbait -- to take advantage, even though I've never had a girlfriend. So I did my best to ignore it, hoping it would work itself out." "I think my ... crush ... ended this past week because of all the events.T I'm not sure yet." I hugged him, and we stood there a moment. It was nothing like my wet dream-nightmare last night. I think I was giving my crush a final goodbye. I pulled away and said, "Now let's get down to business." We spent the next half-hour on the clarinet, saying nothing further about the subject. My friends were all waiting outside for me, when we finished. I don't know what they did in the meantime. "Say, Lucy. You look a lot better now," said Vanessa. "Lesson went okay?" "Very well, thank you. Now off to ballet." We walked together, arriving at the studio just as Ma let Ruth out, having driven her from piano lesson with Mrs. Prudence. I asked Ma, "I don't have to walk Ruth home, do I?" "No, of course not. You stay with your friends. I'll pick her up." We spent the next hour in ballet class. Afterwards, I showered and changed into shorts and tee-shirt. Ruth took my ballet gear home with her, for cleaning. I joined my friends in going through various stores in the mall. They persuaded me to try on various various items. I refused to try on underwear or swimwear -- the very idea was gross. But I did try on a couple miniskirts and a plain green short-puffy-sleeve dress that almost reached my knees. Also a few pants, capris, and shorts. They also persuaded me to try on a navy-blue formal dress suit, consisting of a skirt extending below my knees, a matching jacket, a vest underneath. A pair of blouses, petticoats, and pantyhose purchased separately would complete the outfit. "This would be perfect for church and other formal occasions," said Vanessa. Looking at myself in the mirror, I agreed fully. It made me look more grown-up than the dresses I currently wore to Sunday School and Church. It certainly wasn't anything like the miniskirt combination so popular with teens and young adults these days. "It's adjustable as well, so there's considerable room to grow in it," said Vanessa. "This should be good for at least a year, maybe two. Maybe forever." I was hesitant about getting such an expensive suit; it took almost the entire amount of money Ma gave me for the shopping trip. But in the end, I went for it. I knew I'd be wearing it at least some of the times to Church, which was twice a week for me. In addition, the girls persuaded me to try a gag dress that was almost a leotard or one-piece swimsuit. My front and sides were covered fully, but the back went down almost to the crack in my bottom, and the top was just like an athletic bra. A lopsided skirt of sorts was attached to the bottom: on the right, it looked like a miniskirt extending about a third of the way down my thigh. But in front and in back, the skirt shortened upward, to become on the left side a few inches sticking almost straight out and covering nothing. It looked like an ice-skater's dance outfit from the left. The leotard-type bottom was plainly visible on the left; my left leg was almost completely bare, covered just a notch at the crotch in front and back. "Oh my, you look hot in that outfit," said Becky. "You really must get it." "I agree; you look simply... simply... I really can't describe it," added Alice. "You'll attract every boy within miles, in it." "It needs a baseball bat to complete the outfit," said Carol. I wondered what she meant, and she continued, "It's to keep the boys at bay." I was wavering between being mortified and being excited, standing there in this outfit. "I can't see myself ever wearing this. I just couldn't wear it any time I might be seen by Ma or Pa. Not only that, I don't have much money left after going for the suit." "We'll all pitch in, right everyone?" asked Becky. "As long as you walk out of the store in it, and wear it the rest of the day." The up-shot was that they all bought it for me, and I wore it the rest of the day. All six of us got attention from numerous boys at the mall the rest of the day. Both Alice and Becky even accepted offers of dates the following week. I was too shy to accept any offers, and Jen and Vanessa didn't either. We checked out the bookstore, to placate Carol. I was actually interested in some books as well, and was curious about what Carol read. I followed her to the adult science fiction and fantasy section. Both of us were browsing, ignoring the couple of boys browsing as well, when I jumped at a male voice from immediately above me. "Hey, babe!" I turned around and looked way up -- the boy had to be at least six feet tall. "Um, hello?" I didn't like how he leered at me. "Say, why don't we go off and find a little dinner, then have a little fun. What-cha say, babe?" I froze, not knowing how to respond. Carol came and rescued me. "Lucy here appreciates the offer. But we're with friends, and they'll be expecting us at any moment." "Another time, maybe?" asked the boy. "Maybe," I replied. Both of us left to find the rest of the girls. When the boy was out of sight, Carol said, "If you weren't with me, I'd actually advise you to consider his offer, even though it was rather obnoxiously presented. Boys in bookstores, especially science-fiction nerds, tend to be nicer to girls than average." Later, we had another encounter with the SRU store -- in a different part of the mall. This time, I saw it. It looked innocent enough, even attractive, but I knew that was what made it so dangerous. "Everyone hold hands. We walk past it as far away as possible," said Carol. We did so, pushing against the stores on the opposite side of the walkway, until we were well away from the Dangerous Store. I let my breath out in relief, realizing that I'd held my breath in near panic. Around five, we had dinner at a pizza joint, and then took the bus back to Becky's place for the second sleepover night. "Everyone, back into your bikinis," ordered Becky. "Or swimwear," with a nod at Alice and me. "This is a swimwear sleepover." Carol and I had left our suits last night in the bathroom drying, so we went there to change. While we were nude, I couldn't help looking Carol up and down just for an instant, noting that she had the practically perfect body. "Carol, you look wonderful," I said. "You look great, too," she said. "You have a wonderful body. You might want to shave off the bit of a stubble down there. But then, there's mine." She looked and felt down between her own legs. But she was right. I was itching down there, and I realized I should probably shave again at some point. As we looked each other up and down, I said, "Bikini Beach is to give girls a relaxing sanctuary against boys ogling them in their swimwear. Of course, it does nothing about girls ogling them." "Or GIRLs like Becky," agreed Carol. I still had the green Lucky Charms on my toenails. I never did figure out who did that, and I didn't really try. She gave me a quick hug to her breasts, before pulling back and putting her bikini on. Partly because of the surprise, it took me longer to slip on my swimsuit. When we returned to the living room, everyone else had already changed, and they were debating what video to watch. "For Heaven's sake," Vanessa said, "not `Heathers'! Think of Alice!" "Oh. Right," said Becky. We wound up watching "Clueless," featuring three rich empty-headed high-school girls. At one point during a break to get more snacks, Carol commented, "This sounds strange, but it's actually based on the book `Emma' by Jane Austen." I couldn't believe it. How could this movie be anything like a novel from the beginning of the 19th Century?! Becky's Aunt Yuko got home during the movie, and changed from her work clothes to a little black dress. "Have a wonderful night, girls! I'll be back late -- or tomorrow." I felt embarrassed for Becky; her aunt's dress was skimpier than anything I'd ever worn other than swimwear -- well, there was today's outfit, which perhaps matched hers. Becky must have guessed what I was thinking. "Aunt Yuko works hard all week. She deserves to live it up on weekends." We continued watching the movie to the end. "What now?" asked Jen. "How about a card game? Poker?" said Becky. "I don't bet," I said. Betting was a bad thing. "No real betting. Just the loser taking off a piece of clothing." Yikes! How naughty could you get?! "There's nothing interesting about that," said Alice. "All of us have seen the others while changing at Bikini Beach. Heavens, most of you are in bikinis now. If we were going to do that, we should have done it before changing out of our clothes!" Jen added, "Some of us are as private about it as possible." She was probably speaking for herself, but I was one of those as well, the few times I actually changed at Bikini Beach. "And at least two of you are GIRLs, too!" "That's what makes it interesting," said Becky, sticking out her tongue. "And we have the memories, once we turn back! Come to think of it, maybe Vanessa and I won't remember it after I turn back." Becky sounded a little disappointed there. Then she perked up. "So what. We can have fun now anyway. In fact, you're right, Alice. Most of us are all practically naked already. There's no need to play strip poker; let's all just do it now!" With that, she promptly pulled loose the knots of her bikini top and bottom, and let them drop off. "Anyone joining me?" Alice slipped out of her one-piece with surprising speed, and Vanessa removed her bikini. Jen looked at Vanessa and began hesitatingly removing hers. Carol and I glanced at each other. Carol removed her bikini, and I slowly, apprehensively removed my one-piece. That was that. We were all naked now. I tried not to stare or pay particular attention to anyone, but I couldn't help glancing. "Alice, I've never seen a girl with bright red pussy hair like yours," said Becky. And indeed, Alice's hair down there was as bright red as her head, and thick but carefully shaped to a particular triangle, creeping down between her legs. The bare skin surrounding was as freckled as the rest of her body. "That's not in the least surprising. You've been a girl for like, a month, eh BRUCE?" replied Alice. "Perhaps you've been discreetly observing naked girls and women in the Bikini Beach changing room?" "May-BE," answered Becky with a lecherous grin. I wasn't sure exactly who started it, or how it started, but for some reason everyone was suddenly swatting each other with pillows. I pulled out away as far as possible to the side of the room, not wishing to get involved. Someone tapped my shoulder. As I turned, Carol took my hand and led me to Aunt Yuko's bedroom, away from the raging pillow fight She locked the door, and the door will remain metaphorically locked on what happened in there. That's just for me and Carol to know. When we left the bedroom, we found the other four girls all waiting just outside the door. "Sounded like a couple persons were having fun in there," said Vanessa. "But you both look fresh and clean." I was suddenly embarrassed at having the girls see me now completely hairless down there, although Carol's similar presence made it not so bad. "I see you both took a few war wounds," added Becky. "They heal quickly. Happens to me all the time when I shave -- my face I mean, when I was a boy, that is." "Um, Vanessa?" Jen said shyly, reaching up and pulling her down. She whispered into Vanessa's ear. "Why certainly," Vanessa said with a gleam in her eye. Vanessa took Jen's hand and they entered the bedroom, closing the door behind them. "Seems like Vanessa and Jen are going to follow up on your activities, shaving and so forth," said Becky. "Come along, guys," said Carol. "We don't have to eavesdrop on their activities. We have our own activities." She returned to the living room, and we followed. "So who won the pillow fight?" "We ended in a truce," said Alice. "So what now?" I asked. "How about Spin the Bottle?" suggested Becky. "What's that?" I asked. "You've never heard of Spin the Bottle?" asked Alice incredulously. "That's where someone spins a bottle, and then kisses the person the bottle stops at," said Carol. "It's rather a juvenile game." "We don't have to limit it to face-to-face kissing," said Becky, as she got up and went to the kitchen. She returned with an empty ginger beer bottle. "Okay, okay, who spins first?" asked Carol. "Whoever it points to in this spin," replied Becky, as she spun the bottle. It pointed toward Alice. Alice took the bottle, and spun it fast. It stopped pointing toward herself. "So what do I do? Kiss myself or something?" Becky replied, "There are various ways one could kiss oneself, if one is flexible enough -- or so I heard." "Nah, just spin it again," answered Carol. This time, it stopped pointing toward me. "Does that mean Alice kisses me?" I asked. "Indeed," answered Alice, as she crawled toward me and took my shoulders in her arms. I let my arms wrap around her waist, and kissed. "Not bad for a first time," said Becky. "Now your turn to spin the bottle." I spun it, and it stopped toward Becky. We crawled to each other, and kissed about a minute. Mmmmmmm, such a wonderful experience. "Lucy," said Becky breathlessly. "As Bruce, I never thought of you that way. But when I return as Bruce this fall, I shall definitely have to reconsider." I'd forgotten that this was Bruce I was kissing! "Not if I have anything to say about it!" retorted Carol. The two girls glared at each other until Alice broke in and said, "Please, please! We're all friends here." "Okay, okay. I probably won't remember anyway." Becky sighed as she spun the bottle. It pointed to Carol. I glanced at Carol and back at Becky. They both hesitated a moment, and then reached for each other and embraced and kissed rather hard for some time. "I take it you two have made up?" I asked, as Becky and Carol separated breathlessly. The bottle next pointed toward me, and I had the gut feeling that Carol somehow arranged it, although I had no idea how. My lips simply melted when we kissed, and I felt hers melting too. She pulled me down so I lay on top of her, her arms tight around me. We were almost chewing each other's mouths, and I was gasping in excitement. Both Carol and I were very annoyed at being interrupted by Alice and Becky. "Hey guys, we have a game to play!" said Becky, as Alice tapped both of us on the head. "Both of you need to rinse off first, though." said Alice. "Up, up, into the shower!" She pulled on us. It was true, we were both sweaty from the exertions. One thing about a bare crotch is that the wetness is all there on the surface. I turned on the shower, and we had to wait for the water to warm up. We showered for just a moment, then got out and patted each other dry. As we left the bathroom, our hair wrapped in towels, we met Jen and Vanessa, both sweaty and grimy, hair all messed up. Jen now looked more like ten or eleven, rather than thirteen. They were apparently waiting for us to come out, and passed us and went in. "If nobody else wants to use the bedroom," I glanced at Alice and Becky, who glanced at each other, scrunched up their noses, rolled their eyes, and shook their heads, "I think I shall go and fix it up." "I'll help you," said Carol. Fortunately, nothing got on the bottom sheet or the mattress. We tossed the used towels into the hamper, except for two with traces of blood, and tossed the used razors into the wastebasket. We remade the bed, and cleaned up or disposed of everything else. "The bloody towels need to soak in cold water," said Carol. "Hot water will bake it in permanently." As Jen and Vanessa were in the bathroom, we decided to use the kitchen sink. We eventually returned to the game. Alice spun the bottle, and it pointed toward me. We kissed longer than the first time, although not as long as I'd kissed Becky or (definitely!) Carol. Alice was breathless when we stopped. "I have to admit, Lucy, you are bringing out the bisexual in me. But," Alice added quickly, "I won't get in Carol's way." Vanessa and Jen joined us as Alice was kissing Becky. I used that opportunity to transferthe towels from the kitchen sink to the bathroom sink. We continued playing for another hour or so, and I got to kissing every girl pretty heavily. It was quite different from the usual casual hugs we gave each other all the time. Eventually, we got tired of the game, and someone turned off the lights. It had been dark outside for some time, so a couple of us, including myself, shrieked in fright. "Hey, let's go out streaking," said Becky. "Just around the block." I got up, preparing to don a pair of shorts and tee-shirt. "Streaking. Is that running so fast that nobody can see you as anything more than a blur? Or streak?" Why was everyone laughing all of a sudden? Even Carol? Even Jen? "Lucy, you are really so innocent, it's almost heartbreaking to disillusion and corrupt you," said Vanessa. "But I don't mind disillusioning her," said Alice. She turned to me. "No, streaking means going outside and running around naked. We're already dressed for it." I sat down hard. My whole body was red, and not just about the subject. I was majorly embarrassed, having just made a fool of myself. "But no," said Vanessa. "We don't want to do anything to get us arrested, and have our parents called in on us. Most of us would get in serious trouble." "Spoil-sport," said Becky. "I'm seriously considering going out streaking the day my Bikini Beach pass expires. Afterwards, Becky disappears, Bruce reappears, and there's no more trouble for me." "Don't be so sure," said Vanessa. "Perhaps when you revert, the resulting reality shift might have Bruce going out streaking -- and being arrested for it." "There's not supposed to be any reality shift in my transformation," countered Becky. "How lucky do you think you are?" asked Vanessa. After a pause during which Becky didn't answer, she continued, "Anya warned me of another issue, when I got my first two-week membership. If I ever get pregnant as Vanessa, I'm stuck as Vanessa for life. Since you're going on a date next week, I thought I'd mention it. I hope that Grandmother warned you." Becky answered, "Now that you mention it, it was one of the things Grandmother told me, that I mostly missed, being caught up in the aftermath of the transformation. However, my transformation came with a month's disc of the Pill, with a half a dozen refills available at the CVS. Aunt Yuko and I take our pills every morning together, when she's home. I've never forgotten." "The Pill only becomes effective about a month after you start taking it," said Vanessa. "While so far, it hasn't mattered for either of us, I really hope that Bikini Beach gives one the body already on the Pill in addition to the Pill itself. Even if it never matters to me, it's the principle of the thing." "Innocence and ignorance for young girls like us is dangerous," said Alice. "Sometimes it just hits us hard when we learn. Other times, it means people take unfair advantage of us. Still other times, we can really be harmed. Mom put me on the Pill when I was twelve, ostensibly to regularize my period. I saw through that pretext even then. I haven't had sex yet, but just in case..." "Definitely, the most innocent among us are Jen and Lucy," said Becky. Thanks a lot, Becky. I looked down, couldn't look anyone in the face. "Becky, that was not a nice thing to say," said Carol. Vanessa broke in and said, "Let's tell stories," in a haunting tone. "A couple weeks ago," said Becky, "we were revealing whether we were virgins. One thing I noticed was that we got sidetracked before Vanessa answered the question." "Yeah, you're right, Becky," said Vanessa. "But before you tell us, I should mention that in my case, I answered the question before admitting to being a GIRL. So I will be clear, and say that I am or was a virgin as a guy as well." "You pretty much admitted that last week, with Aunt Yuko," said Vanessa. "Okay, you all deserve to hear my answer. Like Becky, I'm a GIRL. Everyone but Mom and me, and maybe Helen, and now Carol, remembers me as the girl Vanessa King. Only we remember my history as Vernon -- and even there, Mom and I at least remember the primarily the Vanessa version. At least I have to think about it to remember Vernon. "Vernon -- I -- was or am not a virgin. I began younger than Jen." She wrapped her arm around Jen. "Where we live, sex is common. I was seduced at eleven by my fourteen-year-old cousin. My gosh, I'm that same age now. I became quite active with various friends, until coming to Bikini Beach." In the dim remaining indirect light, I noticed Jen pulling away from Vanessa, with an expression that she was about to cry. Becky said, "Please, Jen. Remember that Vanessa worked hard and resisted her own irresistible attraction to SRU, to keep you away." Vanessa said, "I'm so sorry, Jen." Jen burst into tears, and Vanessa pulled her into an embrace. "I promise, I haven't had any kind of sex with anyone else since coming to Bikini Beach. No girlfriends or boyfriends or lovers. I promise. Please, Jen!" Vanessa looked more distressed than I'd ever seen her. Jen's face was in Vanessa's chest. We were silent for a moment, then Jen pulled away and whispered, "It's okay. I had Tim back then." After a moment, Vanessa continued, "Vanessa's false history -- I don't even know who really remembers what about Vanessa. I only have my own false memories. Several guys tried to seduce me starting when I was eleven. I let one do it, but it was just a mildly dirty blah. The other guys, I refused, but a couple of them refused to accept no as an answer. "One might think I was raped. But the surprising thing is that one of them made it very good for me. In fact, his fingers, hands, and tongue persuaded me to change my mind about his dick and want it badly -- and he made that part good too. So he didn't really rape me. I had sex with him quite a bit afterwards. "As for the other guy who refused to accept no, it was rape -- no question. But it was just another mildly dirty blah. Not nearly as bad as being spanked. I had sex with a couple other nice friends as well. So that's my history as it never happened. "By the way," continued Vanessa, "This is not what I meant when I suggested that we tell stories. I meant ghost stories, or urban legends. Things to scare us to sleep that are told at sleepovers. "For example, my friend's cousin went to visit family in southern Mississippi. A couple days after returning, a small bump appeared on her cheek. The bump grew, turning purple. She was urged to go to the emergency room to check it out, but kept delaying because of the expense, even as the bump expanded. "Eventually, just as she was about to go to the emergency room, the bump exploded -- along with a hundred spiders, landing everywhere and on everyone." "Aah!" shrieked someone. "Eww!" "That was so gross!" I wasn't saying anything. My stomach was heaving, and I was up and running, tripping over things, to the bathroom, hoping to make it in time. I crashed into another girl I saw dimly -- Alice, also trying for the bathroom. She got the toilet, I got the sink. Fortunately, nothing actually came up. I managed to control my heaves. I drank some water, took deep breaths, and managed to control my nausea. "You okay, Alice?" I asked. I couldn't smell anything from her side, so I figured she managed to control it too. "Yeah. Didn't actually throw up. Some water would be nice." We both returned to the living room where Carol, Jen, and Becky were all berating Vanessa for that story. In a rare instant of silence, Alice interjected loudly, "Vanessa, would you care to hear about the Night-Riding White Ghosts?" "Yeah-yeah, the Ku Klux Klan," answered Vanessa. "I'll take a pass on that, thank you, Alice. And the rest of you, instead of complaining about my story, come up with one of your own." "When I was little, I went to an eight-week summer camp," said Becky. "Mowglis -- ends with a silent s. Just once, mind you. I was unfortunately a rather gullible little kid, and the counselors and other campers enjoyed terrifying us about `Snatchers and Grabbers' and 'the Mad Axeman.' I actually believed them. The full set of monsters in the `Snatchers and Grabbers' story consisted of `Snatchers, Grabbers, Grinders, and Mutilators' -- or was that `Murderers'? "Snatchers dangled their tentacles down from treetops, waiting to snatch any unsuspecting person from the ground. The snatcher hands his catch over to the grabber, who hands it to the mutilator, who finally hands it to the grinder. That's the end of the hapless victim. "As for the Mad Axeman, well just hope he didn't enter your tent at night. That's really all I remember." By now, I was back to sitting next to Carol. In the dark, both phrases stuck in my mind, even while Alice told a story -- no, not about the White Night-Riding Ghosts. "There was an old man, whose left arm was made of gold. He died, and was buried. A man who attended the funeral and the burial decided dig up the grave, and take the golden arm for himself. "He took it and hid it under his bed. He was planning on melting it down, but kept postponing the decision. "The very first night, just as he was falling asleep, he just barely heard a ghostly wail, `Who has stolen my golden arm?' Just the wind, he thought, turning over and resettling down to sleep. "The voice was louder, more definite, the next night. `Who has stolen my golden arm?' And the third night, it sounded as though it came from just outside his door. `Who has stolen my golden arm?' And his door slowly creaked open, revealing the desecrated corpse of an old man. "`You stole it!'" Alice shouted that last bit. The response was silence. Carol yawned. I realized that we were supposed to jump out of our skin at that punch line, but the story overall didn't work. "Snatchers and Grabbers and Mad Axeman" were partly to blame, for echoing through my mind that needed to get to sleep. "Sorry, but I'm sleepy," I told the others. "If you guys don't mind, I'm going to sleep." I had to do a few things such as brush my teeth and use the toilet, but then I settled down in the corner of the room. I was still thinking "Snatchers and Grabbers" as I fell asleep. I couldn't help it. Saturday, July 12 I was walking through the mall. Oh panic! The Dangerous Store! The one we had earlier so carefully avoided. I had to get by that Store without being snatched away by the Snatchers and Grabbers. I turned down a side hallway away from the Store, and followed it as it made an abrupt sharp turn back toward the Store. I found a woman's room, and quickly entered to avoid the horror. In one of the stalls, I turned and faced the stall door and removed my swimsuit and was about to sit on the toilet when I realized I was standing naked in front of the Store -- the door of the stall had become the door of the Store. The Snatchers and Grabbers were all ready and waiting for me, and I couldn't just run away all naked in front of the crowd of shoppers. I couldn't pee either, even though I really had to go. Inside the store awaited Error, and walking naked through the crowd of shoppers was also Error. I was hopelessly trapped! I tried screaming for help, but my voice caught in my mouth. The crowd only saw me naked; they didn't see the danger I was in. I awoke. Did I scream out? Carol was lying next to me, fingers intertwined with mine, twitching them. My heart fluttered at the twitching. "Nightmare?" she whispered. "Yeah," I whispered back, in the middle of taking slow deep breaths. It was still dark -- I didn't know what time it was. "I also have to go to the bathroom." I stood up, and in the faint light from the outside street lights, I made my way to the bathroom. I noticed Jen and Vanessa together, apparently spooning under their blanket. Becky and Alice were off sleeping by themselves, well apart. I relieved myself and returned to my sleeping spot next to Carol. I lay down again, and took her hand, intertwining our fingers. I felt better that way. I think she was asleep. I was still dead tired, and fell asleep almost immediately. . . . . I awoke to the smell of pancakes. Carol was sitting up and looking down at me with an affectionate expression. "Becky's cooking us a wonderful breakfast," she said. I sat up and looked around. Alice was still asleep. Jen and Vanessa were in the kitchen with Becky. Carol and I got up, and entered the kitchen, where Becky was cooking stacks of mini-pancakes "Mmmm, these smell wonderful," I said. "They are indeed wonderful," replied Vanessa, as she forked a stack into her mouth. "May we?" I asked nervously. "Help yourself. Plenty more are coming," answered Becky. "Oh, my. Now I regret the nice breakfast I already had this morning," came a voice from someone not of our group. Aunt Yuko had returned, still wearing the dress she wore last night, all wrinkled now. I suddenly realized our nakedness, having been caught by Aunt Yuko. "I see you all decided to get nude," Aunt Yuko remarked. "And you didn't, Aunt Yuko?" sassed Becky. "Now don't you get smart, young lady." Aunt Yuko left the kitchen, apparently for her bedroom, just as Alice entered the kitchen. "Oh my." Alice sniffed and inhaled through her nose. "This has got to be the biggest attack ever on dieting." "Nah, just my contribution to the war on anorexia," replied Becky. "Dig in. There's plenty for all. Aunt Yuko and I will have leftovers later. We'll burn it away at Bikini Beach, anyway." We finished eating just as Aunt Yuko emerged, dressed in a bikini and an overlong tee-shirt. We helped Becky clean up, and then Aunt Yuko ordered us, "Everyone get dressed. Into your swimsuits, that is. It's Bikini Beach day." We all got back in our swimsuits, and a couple of the girls put on tee-shirts over them. I made sure all my stuff was properly packed in my suitcase, and we all went out and stuffed ourselves again like sardines in Aunt Yuko's little car. Again, Carol had me sit on her lap in the back seat. We spent Bikini Beach together as usual, enjoying the rides and relaxing, alternatively. Some time mid-morning, while I was relaxing halfasleep, someone pulled on me hard until I sat up. "Lucy, Lucy!" It was Ruth, and Ma was with her. "Hello, Mrs. Cuttington," the girls greeted Ma. "Hello, girls. How was your pajama party?" I was scared that one of them would let the naughtiness out of the bag, as everyone told a little about the sleepover. At least Becky had enough sense not to correct Ma and say it was a nude party. The closest anyone got to the naughtiness was with the scary stories told. I was beginning to feel really guilty about what I'd done at the sleepover last night. I was thinking about my nightmares of the monster Error getting me. I didn't mention those, or any of my nightmares. "Hey, let's go do something, Lucy!" Ruth pulled, and I stood up. "Now now, Ruth," said Ma. "Lucy is with her friends her own age. They don't want a little girl tagging along." "No, Ma," I said. "It's good for Ruth and me to have fun together. My friends won't mind if I go off with Ruth for a couple hours. Right, guys?" "By all means, have some good sister-sister time together," said Carol, and everyone else agreed. "That's fine then," said Ma. "Bring Ruth back to me around noon at the Tiki Hut." "We'll be there, too," added Vanessa. As we walked together, Ruth holding my hand, I was thinking about my nightmares. I knew perfectly well that Error meant erroneous thought, not a monster or bad guy out to get you. But as a young child, I got to thinking of Error as exactly that. And I couldn't completely rid myself of that mistake. What if my nightmares were telling me that I was seriously going into new levels of Error through my sleepover activities? One thing I knew. I wasn't going to tell my parents. Ruth and I had lots of fun in the South Seas Adventures, before we had to meet the others at the Tiki Hut. A couple times, the notion of Ruth having been an older brother Peter came to mind, but I put it out. After lunch, the girls and I spent an hour relaxing and dozing off, then spent the rest of the afternoon having fun. All too soon, it was time to leave. I showered and changed into jeans and tee-shirt before going home, as Pa would be home. In fact he was. "It's been too long since I last saw you Lucy. But by all means, keep having fun with your friends." I practiced the piano for a little while, then, as usual after a Bikini Beach day, went to bed early. I slept better back in my own bed, even though I enjoyed sleeping next to Carol. I didn't have any nightmares this time. ------- ASSM Moderation System Notice-------- This post has been reformatted by the ASSM Moderation Team due to inadequate formatting. -- Pursuant to the Berne Convention, this work is copyright with all rights reserved by its author unless explicitly indicated. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | alt.sex.stories.moderated ------ send stories to: <ckought69@hotmail.com>| | FAQ: <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/faq.html> Moderators: <story-ckought69@hotmail.com> | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |ASSM Archive at <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org> Hosted by <http://www.asstr-mirror.org> | |Discuss this story and others in alt.sex.stories.d; look for subject {ASSD}| +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
