What's happening? Rachel looked around. She felt a sensation that something bad was imminent. She could avoid it if she only knew what it was. But the answer kept slipping away just before she grasped it. She stepped onto a stage. A cheer erupted from the audience. **I shouldn't be up here. I don't want everyone looking at me! No. It wasn't a stage. More like a platform. Her eyes tried to adjust to the bright lights. The wheels of her mind spun in place unable to find traction or make sense of the situation. Cameras flashed from all directions. Her body sent a warning signal. She looked down. Naked. She barely recognized her own body. She looked different...older. She must be someone else's body. But it was her skin. **These breasts are bigger. And the nipples are...incredible. Are those tattoos? Forgetting she was on stage and in public, she reached up to sample her rock hard nipples. But before she got there Rachel was distracted by her swim gloves. **Why am I wearing these? As she studied her hands, someone started talking. Rachel could barely make it out over the cheers. The words didn't sound like English anyway. Two other people in swimsuits stood beside her. Her mind was slow to piece the clues together, but eventually through the haze she realized she was standing on an awards platform. Another warning signal hit her. She needed to get down and run away. But her feet were cemented to the stage. She couldn't move. **This is so humiliating. Everyone can see my naked body. Rachel looked around frantically. Her eyes were drawn to the crowded stands of cheering people. **Ellie? Somehow she picked Ellie out of a crowd of thousands. Ellie was holding a sign that said "Go Team Rachel!" in red, white, and blue lettering. She waved and yelled but her words were drowned out by the cheers. "Ellie!" Then suddenly Rachel's excitement was replaced by dread. Standing next to Ellie was the captain of the Thornwood swim team. Rachel tried to remember her name, but her mind was too fuzzy. The girl glared at Rachel with an evil grin. In her hand was a small black box. She lifted it and menacingly pointed it straight at Rachel. Then she flicked her wrist causing it to recoil like the firing of a gun. Rachel flinched but nothing happened. A man below Rachel got her attention and held up a medal. **Is that for me? Rachel bent down to accept it. The movement caused a flash of light on her chest. The light was reflecting off a small silver object which was somehow attached to her right nipple. **A piercing? Can't be! The man slipped the medal around her head and adjusted it in place on her chest. In the process his hands brushed both her exposed nipples. Rachel let out an involuntary moan of pleasure. But even her own sound was drowned out by the roaring crowd. She closed her eyes for a few moments in her private world of arousal. When she heard the music playing, she opened them again. Everyone was turned to look at the American flag being raised. Rachel turned as well. She tried to put her hand over her heart like everyone else, but missed. Even with her gloves on, her hand was doing it's best to apply pressure to her nipple. She almost melted. **OH! That feels so good. Then the quake began. Rachel felt the platform shaking and had to spread her stance to regain balance. But no one else was responding to the earthquake. The music kept on playing. The earthquake seemed to be directed between her legs. She felt like she was sitting on the epicenter. But that couldn't be. She was standing. **Maybe it's not an earthquake. She stood on her tip toes to hopefully relieve the pressure on her pussy, but the assaulting quake just followed her. "OH God!" She felt a familiar urge growing. Rachel was nearing an orgasm. Now the shaking was so bad Rachel feared she would fall off the platform. There was nothing nearby to hold on to. The people around her went on singing as if nothing was wrong. She took another step for balance as the music began its crescendo toward the final stanzas. **I can't climax now. Not here where everyone would see me. No matter how she stood, the steady vibrations assaulted her. Rachel fought furiously to prevent her body from reaching its climax. But she was quickly losing the battle. "Oh Oh Oh. UNNNNNNGH." She matched every note of the song with a lusty outburst of her own. She knew her own climax would arrive when the final note of the anthem sounded. She had to avoid that at all costs. There was only one option left. As music reached its final climax she threw herself off the award platform and braced for a painful landing. But instead of cold cement, she landed on the soft carpet of her bedroom at Eric's house. Rachel immediately reached between her legs to satiate her burning loins. She fingered herself on the bedroom floor as the dream faded from memory. By the time she was relaxed and awake enough to think straight, she didn't remember any of the dream. She only remembered that it had been strange and scary and that she woke up horny. Rachel checked the clock. It was 3:30am. She sleepily climbed back into bed thankful that she didn't have to live in the bizarre world of dreams. Little did she know that her dream was actually a glimpse into her future. Rachel was destined to live out the vision almost exactly as she had dreamed it. THE ENDthornwood-the-dream
