   Alison was still facing the end of the pool when Ben tapped her on the
shoulder.  She turned and lifted her sad face to him.
   "Is everything alright?" asked Ben uncertainly.
   "What do you think?" asked Alison sulkily.
   "Um...  I think maybe not?" he suggested.  Alison stamped her foot.
   "I'm the one who was being picked on" he said in his own defence, just
in case it was something he'd done that had upset Alison.
   "Fine!" said Alison "I won't bother you anymore then" said Alison and
she sploshed angrily away.  Ben watched her go, trying to figure out what
he had done.
   "Alison!" he called out, but she ignored him, sploshing determinedly to
the other end of the pool.
   Victoria opened her eyes and looked over to the pool, wondering what was
going on.  She saw Ben stood looking surprised and shocked, and she saw
Alison's moody escape from him.  Victoria creased her brow into a frown and
picked up her phone to look at the time.  It was a bit early yet, but...
   "Alison, Ben, here a minute please" she called out.
   Ben made his way over swiftly, covering himself as he climbed out of the
pool and crossed the grass.  Alison was slower, more reluctant, and her
body language was angry and defensive.
   "I need you two to go on watch for me" said Victoria "Can you relieve
Amy, she'll be upstairs, at the front of the house somewhere."
   "I'm not watching with him!" said Alison forcefully.
   "Oh darling, you've been so good today" said Victoria "Don't spoil it
now."
   Alison glared at Victoria and stormed towards the house "I'll go on
watch, and if he goes on watch too that's his affair, but I'm not watching
with him" she said as she went.
   "Alison, get dressed first!" shouted Victoria.  Alison turned sharply
and stormed towards her clothes.
   "What did you do to upset her?" Victoria asked looking at Ben.
   Ben shrugged "I don't know" he said.
   "Well whatever it is you've got her in a right mood" said Victoria with
a sympathetic smile "You two had better sort it out, but remember, you're
supposed to be on watch."
   Ben looked crestfallen.  He didn't know how to sort it out; he was
hoping Victoria would know.
   "Go on, you'd better get dressed" said Victoria patting him on the arm.
   Ben turned away and trudged slowly to his clothes.  'Why do girls have
to be so difficult' he thought.
   Dave straightened his duvet with a frown "What are we going to do about
this mess?" he asked.
   "It won't show so much when it's dry" said Emily, pulling her top on
again.
   "What'll I tell mum if she asks?" he said looking worried.
   "Just tell her you spilled something" suggested Emily, her concerns
elsewhere at the moment.
   The door opened, and Alison stuck her head in.
   "Oh, are you busy?" she asked "I'm supposed to take over from Amy."
   "She's next door" said Dave, pointing in the right direction.
   "You can watch from here if you like" said Emily "We're going back down
to the garden now anyway."
   Alison came into the room and crossed to the bed "Have you been having
sex?" she asked.
   "Might have been" said Emily "If it's any business of yours."
   Alison "Hmmphed" and sat on the bed, staring out of the window.
   "We'll let Amy know she's relieved" said Emily, taking Dave's hand and
leading him out of the room.
   Alison didn't reply, she just kept staring out of the window sulkily.
   Ben trudged slowly up the stairs, wondering what he was going to say to
Alison, when he ran into Emily and Dave.
   "Third door on the left" said Emily as she passed him.
   "What is?" asked Ben.
   "Alison" said Emily stopping "I assume you're looking for her."
   "Oh" said Ben "Thanks."
   "Is everything alright?" asked Emily.
   "No, probably not" said Ben as he continued his ascent.
   Emily watched for a little while and then continued her descent with
Dave.
   Alison tensed her whole body when she heard a knock at the door.  She
set her face firmly and ignored the knock.  After a pause, there was
another knock.  Alison continued to stare determinedly out of the window.
   Ben opened the door cautiously and peered in.  Seeing Alison kneeling on
the bed by the window he took half a step into the room.
   "What do you want?" asked Alison frostily.
   "Um...  we're supposed to be on watch" he said.
   "Well there's lots of windows to watch from so it's best we split up"
she said without looking round.
   Ben stood half in and half out of the room not knowing what to say.  He
stared at Alison's tense and erect form on the bed, his expression full of
regret and sorrow.
   "Alison, is there..." he began.
   "No!  Why don't you go next door" she snapped.
   "Can't we just be friends?" said Ben plaintively.
   "No, you're a big baby and I don't want to be friends with a big baby!"
said Alison, still not taking her eyes off the driveway below.
   "I'm not" said Ben defensively, his tone rising.
   "Yes you are!" said Alison.
   Ben took a pace into the room "Victoria said we could choose..." he
said.
   "And you chose to be a big baby!" said Alison.
   "Alison?" said Ben feeling more and more upset with every word she spoke
"It's only because the others were there...  otherwise I would have"
   "Go away!" said Alison turning to look at him at last.  Her glower was
unfriendly; menacing.
   Ben tried to smile apologetically, but Alison's expression didn't
change. His lips turned down and his eyes began to tear.  He turned away
and paced back towards the door.
   "And just because I said I loved you told me to 'Get Off!' and pushed me
away!" shouted Alison.
   Ben froze as he remembered their last exchange.  Yes, she had whispered
that to him, and he had pushed her away.  Bugger!  How was he going to put
that right?
   "You obviously don't love me so I'm just wasting my time with you" she
shouted at his back.
   "I...  like you" offered Ben weakly, without turning to face her.
   "I like crushing boys' nuts, so what's that got to do with it?" she said
and turned to stare out of the window again, her eyes ablaze with fury.
   Ben let a tear escape and roll down his cheek.  He trudged out of the
room and closed the door quietly behind him.
   "Useless!" shouted Alison "Pathetic and useless!  Pathetic and useless
little baby!"
   Emily was relieved to see Victoria on her own when she and Dave came
back out into the garden.
   "Why don't you go and have a swim?" suggested Emily.
   "Are you coming?" he asked.
   "No, I need to talk to Victoria.  Alone" she said.
   "I'll go and get changed then" he said.
   "You don't need to get changed" said Emily "I'll join you when I'm
finished talking to Victoria."
   Dave looked round the garden.  Everyone was naked, but still...
   "It won't take me a minute" said Dave.
   "Don't be so silly" said Emily "Everyone else is naked.  I'll rub some
sun cream on for you if you like" she added as an incentive.
   Dave watched Emily walk slowly over to Victoria, and he hesitated.  He
didn't want to be naked in front of all of these people, but he didn't want
to disappoint Emily either.  He stood procrastinating for a while.
   Emily dropped herself down onto the recliner next to Victoria.
   "Ooooh" she said, as if tired.
   Victoria looked over at her "You getting undressed now?" asked Victoria.
   "Um...  I guess" said Emily, without making any move to do so.
   "Run out of excuses?" asked Victoria with a smile.
   Emily looked at her sceptically "Maybe" she said.  She sighed and began
pulling her clothes off.  "Is Ben okay, he seemed a bit...  weird?"
   "I think he's had a falling out with Alison" said Victoria.
   "God, he's going to have to get used to that" said Emily
sympathetically.
   "They'll work it out" said Victoria.
   "You know what she's like when she's got a temper on her" said Emily.
   "No one can be cross with Ben for long" said Victoria "He's that kind of
boy."
   "I hope you're right" said Emily.
   There was a brief period of silence between them as Emily finished
getting undressed.  She lay back on the recliner aware that Kevin was
staring at her.
   "Victoria" said Emily "There's something I should confess....  I mean,
something I need to talk to you about...  "
   Sensing that Emily was about to say something important, Victoria sat up
a little and studied her carefully "Go on" said Victoria.
   "Well....  Dave and I...  we had a bit of an accident" said Emily.
   "What sort of accident?" asked Victoria, hoping to God it wasn't 'that'
sort of accident.
   "Well, we kind of made love...  without a condom" said Emily screwing
her face up in shame.
   It was 'that' sort of accident.  Victoria sighed and didn't answer
straight away.
   "We didn't mean to...  it just kind of happened" said Emily.
   "Did he come inside you?" asked Victoria.  Emily just nodded.
   "Oh Emily, after all we've said.  We've gone on and on about this so
many times..." began Victoria, but she noticed that Emily was still nodding
and tears were rolling down her cheeks.
   Victoria got up hurriedly and sat herself on Emily's recliner, she took
her in her arms and hugged her.
   "Hey everybody" shouted Kevin in the background "Hot babe on babe
action!"
   Victoria clenched her jaw, and made a mental note to deal with this brat
later "Alright, what's done is done" said Victoria "We'll sort it out."
   "But what if...  what am I going to tell mum...  dad...." asked Emily
sounding devastated.
   "Let's cross that bridge when we come to it" said Victoria cuddling and
rocking Emily "Chances are you'll be fine."
   "But what if I'm not?" asked Emily in desperation.
   "Look, you haven't started your periods yet" said Victoria "The chance
of you getting pregnant is almost insignificant."
   "But there is a chance" said Emily.
   "There's a chance you'll be struck by lightning, but you can't ruin your
life worrying about it" said Victoria.
   "I'm scared" said Emily.
   Victoria became aware of a rather quiet and sad looking Ben stood
nearby, as if waiting for attention.
   "Later Ben, sorry, I'm a bit busy now" said Victoria without looking up
at him.  Ben trudged slowly away and sank to the grass.
   "Tell me how it happened" asked Victoria.
   Emily began at the beginning, leaving nothing out, while Victoria
cuddled her and interjected the occasional comment or question.
   "Are you going to punish me?" asked Emily at the end.
   "Are you going to do it again?" asked Victoria.
   "No" said Emily.
   "Not much point then is there, besides I think your worrying is
punishment enough" Victoria said and then gave Emily a kiss.
   "What about a morning after pill or something?" asked Emily.
   "How would we get hold of one?" asked Victoria.
   "The chemist shop?" suggested Emily.
   "And who's going to go and get it?" asked Victoria "Because whoever it
is the whole village is going to know about it by the end of the day, and
parents are going to be asking questions.  The implication's going to be
pretty obvious."
   "I guess" said Emily "I didn't think about that.  "What about the
internet?"
   "It'll take too long.  By the time it's arrived in the post it'll be too
late for it to be effective" said Victoria.
   "So we just have to wait then, and see" said Emily "How will I know?  I
mean, how long before I know?"
   "I've got an idea" said Victoria, just leave it with me I'll see what I
can do."
   "What though?  Victoria this is going to be the longest torture of my
life" said Emily.
   "Trust me.  You do trust me don't you?" said Victoria.
   Emily nodded.  Victoria kissed her again.
   "Why don't you go and play with Dave, and I'll sort it out.  Just be
careful" said Victoria.
   "If you're sure?" said Emily.
   "I'm sure.  Go on" said Victoria.
   Emily gave herself a few seconds to compose herself and then got up. 
She spotted Dave sat on the grass near the pool.  He had got undressed, but
he was still wearing his boxer shorts.  She shook her head and wandered
over to him.
   Victoria lay back, closed her eyes, and began planning.  After a few
moments she became aware of a presence approaching cautiously.  She rolled
onto her side, and opened her eyes to see Ben hovering nearby.
   "Later darling" she said "I'm still a bit busy at the moment."
   Ben started to turn away, but as Victoria's eyes adjusted to the bright
light and focussed more clearly she saw his expression.  She sat up quickly
"No, on second thoughts Ben, come here darling."
   Ben turned back to her again looking devastated, he hurried to her and
she wrapped her arms around him.  'Just don't tell me Alison's pregnant'
she thought.
   Victoria pulled Ben into her lap and kissed his teary cheek "What's up
sweety?" she said sympathetically.
   "Alison hates me" he said his voice full of sadness and regret.
   "She doesn't hate you darling she's just in a bit of a mood that's all"
said Victoria.
   "No, she hates me.  She thinks I'm just a big baby" said Ben.
   "Why don't you tell me what happened" suggested Victoria calmly.
   "They were chasing me and trying to tease me and stuff" said Ben "I
didn't want them to but they were, and Alison was in charge, it was her
fault.  Anyway they had me trapped and were touching me, which I didn't
mind if it was Alison, but it was Amy and that Tracy as well and I didn't
want them too.  So I pushed Alison away and told her to get off."
   "Well maybe she feels guilty" suggested Victoria "Maybe it was only then
that she realised how upset you were and she's cross with herself."
   "No she's cross with me" said Ben.
   "Maybe she's realised what she did was wrong and she'll say sorry later
when she's calmed down a bit" said Victoria, giving him another kiss on the
cheek.
   "No because before I pushed her and that she said something, but I
didn't realise.  I mean...  I did, but I'd pushed and told her to get off
before it had really sunk in and by then I was getting away" said Ben.
   "Why?  What did she say?" asked Victoria.
   Ben screwed his face up in embarrassment "Just..."
   "Come on sweety, tell me" urged Victoria.
   "She said something about...  that maybe...  she loved me or something"
said Ben blushing bright red.
   "Oh!" said Victoria "And that's when you pushed her and told her to get
off?"
   "About then" said Ben.
   "Okay, not so good then" said Victoria "When a girl says something like
that it's probably not the best time to shove her away and say get off"
said Victoria "Having said that though Alison did pick a rather daft time
to tell you."
   "Anyway, now she won't even talk to me.  She's really mad" said Ben.
   "Okay, well, that's a little bit understandable isn't it?" said Victoria
"If she's said something so important and you rejected her, she probably
feels very hurt and upset."
   "I didn't mean to upset her, it just happened" said Ben.
   "I suppose the important thing now is to establish your feelings then"
said Victoria "Do you love Alison?"
   Ben stared at the pool for a while in silence and finally screwed his
face up in distaste "I like her" he said.
   "But you don't love her" said Victoria.
   "I don't know.  I don't even know what it is, it seems pretty stupid to
me, it's more of a girl thing really" said Ben.
   Victoria cuddled him and tried not to laugh.  She kissed him on the
cheek again "Boys fall in love too you know" she said gently.
   "Maybe when they're older and they've run out of fun things to do" said
Ben.
   "Do you think Paul or Dave have run out of fun things to do?" she asked.
   Ben pondered for a while "What's it like then?" he asked.
   "Love?" asked Victoria.  Ben nodded.
   "Well, you know how you felt during your initiation, when we said we
were going to pull you pants down?  It feels a bit like that" said
Victoria.
   "Why would anyone want to feel like that?" asked Ben.
   "It's the excitement, the adrenalin, the stomach churning, the
butterflies only it has a nice cause.  It makes you feel warm and
comfortable and lovely" said Victoria.
   "Sounds crap" said Ben.
   "Well how do you feel when you see Alison?" asked Victoria.
   "I dunno, good I suppose" he said.
   "If you were in love with her, when she walks into the room your whole
day would suddenly brighten up and your heart would beat faster and you'd
be overjoyed.  And then, when she left again, you'd feel sad, like the sun
had gone out, and you wouldn't feel whole anymore" said Victoria.
   Ben tried to examine how he felt about Alison "Is that love then?" asked
Ben.
   "No, there's more to it than that, but those are pretty good symptoms"
said Victoria "Along with not sleeping for thinking about them, not wanting
to eat when they're not around, wanting to be with them all the time, I
could go on."
   "Can you love more than one person at a time?" asked Ben.
   "Of course you can sweety.  This idea that you can only love one person
is just silly.  We're quite capable of loving lots of people" said
Victoria.
   "Oh" said Ben.
   "So what do you think?" asked Victoria.
   "About what?" asked Ben.
   "About Alison?" said Victoria e hint of exasperation in her voice.
   "I like her" said Ben "And maybe some of things are true, but I never
feel like not eating."
   "So maybe there is some love there then" suggested Victoria.
   "But I feel that about you too" said Ben.
   Victoria smiled "Well maybe you love us both sweety, it's allowed you
know, in the gang at least."
   "What do I do then?" asked Ben.
   "What you do is, you go back and see Alison, and you tell her you're
sorry, that you didn't mean to reject her, that you're glad she loves you
and that you love her too" said Victoria.
   "What if it isn't love though?" asked Ben.
   "Sometimes a little exaggeration doesn't hurt, and you probably do
anyway" said Victoria.
   "She won't listen to me" said Ben.
   "She will, you don't give her the option.  You go in there you say your
piece, don't let her interrupt or put you off, and when you've finished you
seize her and kiss her.  If that doesn't work I'll eat my hat" said
Victoria.
   "You haven't got a hat" said Ben.
   "I'll get one" said Victoria.
   "What if she pacifies me?" asked Ben.
   "She won't, now go on, be a brave little tiger and tell that girl how
it's going to be" said Victoria giving him an encouraging shove "Sometimes
girls like boys to be all manly and tell them what to do."
   Ben gave a great big sigh and trudged back towards the house, his body
taut with determination.
   "And don't forget you're supposed to be on watch!" Victoria shouted
after him.
   Victoria lay back on the recliner again.  Paul and Wendy were still
kissing and cuddling.  Alan was still watching them.  Emily and Dave were
splashing and laughing in the pool.  Tracy, Amy, and Kevin were sunbathing,
although Kevin was also switching his attention between Wendy, Emily, and
Victoria.
   Victoria picked up her mobile phone, flipped it open and dialled.
   "Todd?  Hi, Victoria, yeh, I need your help" she began.
   Alison was feeling very sorry for herself as she stared down at the
drive.  The minutes were crawling by very slowly and her anger and
resentment were simmering away inside her.  She had decided that she wasn't
going to bother with boys anymore since they were useless, and in future
she would just torment them, and maybe have sex once in a while, but not
with any feeling.
   When she heard the knock on the door she ignored it again.  The door
opened and Ben came in.  She didn't look over or say anything, she just set
her face and continued to stare out of the window.
   Ben didn't hover by the door this time; leaving it open he crossed
quickly to the bed and stood nervously beside it.
   "Alison?" he said.
   "Go away!  I don't want to talk to you" said Alison sharply and with
feeling.
   "I'm sorry about before.  I didn't push you away and tell you to get off
because of what you said, it was because you were teasing me.  I didn't
realise what you'd said until after and I didn't know what to do about it,
but I've been thinking about it and...  well...  I love you too, and I want
us to be friends and not cross at each other like this" said Ben in a great
long stream.  He reached down to grab Alison, for the kiss, but she
shrugged him off.
   "No you don't" she said.
   "Don't what?" asked Ben, not quite knowing what to do now.
   "You don't love me" she said.
   Ben stood feeling useless.  He tried to remember what Victoria had said.
He shuffled his feet slightly "When I get up in the morning it's like... 
something's missing and I don't know what, but later, when I see you it's
not missing anymore and you make me want to smile and I'm happy.  And so
long as you're with me I feel like everything's great.  Except when you
pick on me, like earlier, and then it upsets me because I think you don't
like me anymore.  And then at the end of the day, when I have to leave it's
like nothing's worthwhile until I see you again" said Ben.
   Alison dropped her eyes to the bed and wondered if she'd gone too far
trying to steal Ben's boxers and chasing him round the pool.  She slid her
eyes surreptitiously to the side where she could just see him fidgeting
beside the bed.
   "Sounds like one of Victoria's speeches" said Alison "Did she put you up
to this?"
   Ben didn't know what to say, but decided honesty was the best policy
"No, I did talk to her, to ask her what to do, and she said I should come
and tell you how I feel, but what I said is true" he said, and wondered if
now would be good time to try to seize her again for a kiss.
   Alison continued to stare at the bed, her mood softening and her heart
warming.
   "And when we're having sex, that's brilliant too" said Ben.
   "You really didn't mean it?" asked Alison looking at him at last.
   "Telling you to go away?" asked Ben.  Alison nodded.  "Not because of
what you said, but just because you were being mean" said Ben.
   "I'm sorry" said Alison "I just thought it was a bit of fun."
   "For you maybe, but not for me" said Ben "Anyway, I'm sorry too."
   Ben thought that now was probably the moment and he leaned down and
grabbed Alison in his arms.  He kissed her.  Alison wrapped her arms around
him and kissed him back, her hands ranging all over his body.
   "Oooh, you're really hard" she said delightedly "Do you want to have
sex?"
   "We're supposed to be on watch" said Ben.
   "After then?" she asked.
   "Okay" said Ben.
   "Do you really love me then?" she asked a little shyly.
   "Uh, yeh..." said Ben.
   Alison kissed him again and dragged him down on top of her, her hand
rubbing the front of his trousers.
   "Paul, Wendy?" called Victoria "Do you two think you could bear to part
long enough to get dressed and go and relieve Ben and Alison on watch?"
   Paul looked up and gave a little wave "No problem" he said.
   Alison and Ben were both naked, facing each other in a kneeling
position. Each had an arm around the other's shoulders while they kissed,
with occasional glances out of the window.  Ben's other hand was stroking
gently up and down Alison's pussy, and Alison's other hands was stroking
Ben's rigid penis back and forth slowly.
   Paul and Wendy stood in the doorway and stared "Aren't you supposed to
be on watch?" asked Paul a little sternly.
   "We are" said Alison, breaking away from Ben "We are watching properly."
   "It doesn't look like it" said Paul.
   Ben's hands came down to cover his erection and he blushed.  Wendy
giggled "Aren't they a bit young to be doing that" she said.
   "They're old enough to be capable, and old enough to want to, who am I
to argue?" said Paul "At least when they're not supposed to be on watch."
   "We were" said Ben.
   "Well, you're relieved now.  We'll go next door" said Paul "And if I
were you I'd go and tell Victoria about what you were doing.  She might go
easier on you if you confess rather than having to wait to hear from me."
   "Paul" said Alison "We were watching I promise.  We were just kissing
and stuff to pass the time while we were watching."
   "Save it for Victoria, Alison" said Paul and he led Wendy out and next
door.
   "Bugger" said Alison.
   "We'd better go and tell Victoria" said Ben sliding towards the side of
the bed.
   "Don't you dare!" said Alison grabbing him and pushing him down on the
bed.  She grabbed his erection again and kissed him.
   Victoria's phone rang.  She answered and looked up quickly "Everyone get
dressed!  Now!" she shouted.
   The garden suddenly erupted into activity as everyone started pulling on
clothes.  Before they were done, Paul and Wendy came out of the house at
high speed, dragging Ben and Alison with them who were still trying to
dress.
   Mavis Carter walked out in the warm sunshine of garden and was surprised
to see so many people.  She hadn't realised that David had so many friends,
and some of them were girls.  "Hello" she said.
   People looked over, and said hello back.  Dave jumped to his feet "I
just thought I'd have some friends over" he said a little nervously "I hope
it's okay."
   "Of course it is David, I'm just surprised you're not all swimming, what
with this heat."
   "They didn't have costumes with them" said David, hoping she wouldn't
suspect anything.
   "Well you could have swum in your underwear" said Mavis.
   Dave blushed slightly.
   "I'll be inside if you need me" she said and turned back towards the
house shaking her head.  She turned her mind back to when she was their age
and she knew she and her friends would have swum in their underwear, if
they hadn't taken it off and skinny dipped.  'Kids today' she thought 'so
much more prudish than we were back then.'
   "We should make a move anyway" said Victoria "It's getting late and we
should be getting home."
