Her lower back and thighs protested and she winced. Even her ass hurt. She glanced at Mindy and saw she wasn&#8217;t faring much better. Stretching her back helped some but it was still tender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Why am I so gimpy,&#8221; Mindy asked, a sour look on her face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Remembering what Natty had said when she took Erin&#8217;s virginity, she said, &#8220;I think it is because we used a bunch of muscles we don&#8217;t normally use last night. We worked the hell out of our hump muscles.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Ashley parroted, &#8220;Hump muscles?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You know what I mean,&#8221; Erin said, laughing, &#8220;Hopefully a hot shower will loosen everything up.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy grinned at her, said, &#8220;I should have known- anything that much fun would have to hurt in the morning.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Hey,&#8221; Erin said, thinking of something, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I thanked you two for last night. It was a crazy, fun night I&#8217;ll never forget. Thank you,&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I think we should make it a thing,&#8221; Mindy said, smiling at her, &#8220;every time one of us has a birthday, we have one of these.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I like it,&#8221; Ashley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t forget, you are next,&#8221; Erin said, then grinned at her, &#8220;We might just tie you to the bed and make you come til you pass out.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley shivered and Mindy laughed and shook her head, &#8220;Oh my God. Did you just get a chill because of what Erin said?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What can I say\u2026&#8221; Ashley said, blushing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Huh, we might just do that, then,&#8221; Mindy said and Ashley shivered again. The girls fell out laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Who&#8217;s showering first,&#8221; Erin asked, getting off the bed. After they were finished with last night&#8217;s festivities, she had slipped back into her t-shirt and panties. Now she went her dresser and added shorts to the outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I am,&#8221; Ashley said, getting off the bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t start thinking about being tied up and take forever in the shower,&#8221; Mindy laughed, swatting her on the backside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yelping, the redhead gave her a look, then said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll be quick.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She fetched some clean clothes from her bag, then headed for the bathroom. When she was gone, Mindy said, &#8220;That girl has a kinky streak.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You could say that about all of us,&#8221; Erin said, smiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah, you are probably right.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Let&#8217;s get some breakfast.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy followed her out of the room and down the stairs. At the bottom, she pulled Erin close and whispered, &#8220;The fourth stair from the top creeks. So does the second from the bottom. The others seem solid.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Grinning at her, Erin said, &#8220;Nice. I had forgotten to listen. I&#8217;m glad you are on this sneak out. You have a knack for it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She shrugged, &#8220;Not every time I was with Sarah was she babysitting me. I&#8217;d sneak out to be with her maybe once or twice a week. I think I was nine the first time.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh,&#8221; Erin said, surprised.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You shouldn&#8217;t be surprised,&#8221; Mindy said, laughing, &#8220;I was infatuated with her.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Do you still miss her?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Not as much, anymore,&#8221; she said, smiling at Erin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">They ended the conversation as they entered the kitchen. Erin&#8217;s mom looked up as they filed in. She laughed and said, &#8220;There is a brush in the bathroom if you two need it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Ashley&#8217;s in the shower,&#8221; Erin said, going to the cabinet and getting two bowls, &#8220;Can&#8217;t do anything with the hair until it&#8217;s my turn.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Then I&#8217;ll try not to laugh,&#8221; she said, laughing, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Giving a bowl to Mindy, Erin said, &#8220;Cereal is in the cupboard there. Pick whatever you like.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Leaving her to pick her poison, she went to the fridge for milk. After fetching spoons from a drawer, she sat at the table. Mindy held up a box of cheerios and she waved her over. Soon, they were digging into bowls of cereal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What are your plans for the day,&#8221; Mrs. Brolin asked, sipping her coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Not sure,&#8221; Erin said, glancing at Mindy who shrugged, &#8220;We haven&#8217;t gotten that far, yet.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Well, Mrs. Cross called. She is going to pick Mindy up at seven and I&#8217;ll probably kick Ashley out then, too.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Kick her out,&#8221; Mindy asked, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You haven&#8217;t been around long enough to know, sweetie, but Ashley would live here if I didn&#8217;t make her go home once in awhile.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It&#8217;s true,&#8221; Erin said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What&#8217;s true,&#8221; Ashley said, coming into the kitchen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That you&#8217;d live here if Mom didn&#8217;t kick you out,&#8221; Erin said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Why? Am I getting the boot, again?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Tonight at seven.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;At least I get dinner,&#8221; she said, going to the cupboard for a bowl and cereal, &#8220;my step-mom tries but she can&#8217;t cook like you, Mrs. B.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Thanks, Ashley,&#8221; she said, seemed pleased by the compliment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy finished her breakfast, rinsed her bowl in the sink, then turned to Erin&#8217;s mother, &#8220;Do you want this in the dishwasher or the sink?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh, no,&#8221; Ashley said, smacking her forehead, &#8220;Don&#8217;t do that. She&#8217;ll expect the rest of us to act civilized, too.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t listen to her, Mindy,&#8221; Mrs. Brolin laughed, giving her a look, &#8220;the sink is fine.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Grab a shower,&#8221; Erin said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Alright,&#8221; she said, then disappeared from the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin&#8217;s mom turned to Erin, said, &#8220;She seems to be fitting in.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You sound surprised,&#8221; Erin said, looking at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh, she is a perfectly lovely girl,&#8221; she said, smiling at her daughter, &#8220;You and Ashley have always been a duo. Well, save for the girl up the street, Sarah. Do you still hang out with her?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Ashley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Well, I figured it&#8217;d be just you two until you went off to college. I guess it is a trio now.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah, I think we&#8217;ll let her stick around,&#8221; Ashley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley and Erin joked with her mother until the redhead was finished eating. Bowls in the sink, they went back up to Erin&#8217;s room. As Ashley flopped on her bed, Erin booted up her computer to check her emails. She had three new messages and she opened them in turn. The first was from Natty:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Come visit so I can tell you in person. I have a gift for you. Love You.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Sitting back in her office chair, she wondered what Natty could have for her. Briefly she thought &#8216;gift&#8217; might be a euphemism for sex, but she decided it probably wasn&#8217;t. Not that she&#8217;d mind some birthday sex with the world&#8217;s sexiest preteen ghost. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She had to admit, her curiosity was piqued. Still thinking about what the gift could be, she composed a message to the girl, telling her she&#8217;d visit tonight. She had so much to tell her, anyway. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Closing that email, she saw the next two were from Melanie. She had a friend in a similar situation as Natty and Erin had reach out to her with some advice. Since then, they had developed a long distance friendship. Smiling, she opened the first message:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Happy Birthday, EBrolin2002. Hope you had a great party.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She smiled, touched that the girl had remembered. Her mood elevated, she closed the letter. The second message was a bit more substantial:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Hey, did you want to meet in person? I&#8217;m going to be in your neighborhood next month visiting family. I was wondering if you&#8217;d like to get together. I&#8217;d love the chance to thank you in person. I have a huge hug with your name all over it. Let me know one way or another.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Huh,&#8221; she said, glancing at Ashley, &#8220;Melanie is visiting family somewhere near here next month. She wants to meet.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah? Are you going to?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I&#8217;d like to. We&#8217;ll have to figure out the details,&#8221; Erin said, sending her a reply email that said pretty much just that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shutting down her computer, she turned to Ashley, &#8220;I wonder what it&#8217;ll be like to meet her in person. All we&#8217;ve done is email and talk on the phone.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;She seems okay,&#8221; Ashley said, shrugging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy breezed into the room, now dressed in jeans and a long sleeved shirt, her hair still damp. Nodding at Erin, she said, &#8220;Shower&#8217;s free. It does wonders for the stiffness.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That&#8217;s what he said,&#8221; Ashley said, drawing a giggle from the girls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Alright,&#8221; Erin said, pointing around the room, &#8220;Keep yourselves entertained. Ashley, you know where everything is.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She nodded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Leaving them to their own devices, Erin fetched clean underwear and a bra, then a light weight dress from her closet. In the bathroom, she got the water started, then stripped out of her night clothes. Mindy hadn&#8217;t been joking- the hot water did wonders on her tight body, loosened her achy muscles up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Thinking about the brunette made Erin wish she was here. That thought dominoed into thinking about the times she had fooled around with Natty in the shower. The next domino tumbled and she remembered the crazy night when all three of them visited Natty at the same time. The last piece fell and she had a plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">All she had to do was run it by the girls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Finished with her shower, she dried off and got dressed. She was so excited that she ran back to her room. The girls looked up at her in surprise as she burst into the room. They were sitting in front of the TV, playing Ratchet and Clank All 4 One. Ashley paused the game and they looked at her expectantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I had a crazy idea in the shower.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Using conditioner before shampoo,&#8221; Ashley said, nodding like the statement made perfect sense, &#8220;I tried that one time. Doesn&#8217;t work.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin gave her a look and the redhead smiled sweetly at her. Shaking her head, she said, &#8220;I was thinking we should all visit Natty tonight.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You mean&#8230;&#8221; Mindy asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What,&#8221; Ashley said, grinning mischievously at her, &#8220;you didn&#8217;t get enough from last night&#8217;s orgy?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I was thinking we could bring our new toys\u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh,&#8221; Ashley said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Loren?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley stopped just inside the living room, surprised to see the teenager crying on the couch. The cordless phone was sitting on her lap and wadded up tissues were scattered all over the cushions. Her make-up was smeared and her cheeks glistening. She was staring at the phone, yet through it at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She looked up at the sound of her name, quickly wiped the tears from her face. Looking embarrassed, she managed a smile and said, &#8220;Hey, kiddo. When did you get back?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;A couple of minutes ago,&#8221; Ashley said, looking at the phone, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong? Why were you crying?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\"><em>Oh God, her dad<\/em>, she thought, expecting the worst.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Nothing&#8217;s wrong,&#8221; she said, then shrugged, &#8220;or maybe everything.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Is your dad okay?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Loren blinked at her, then the question sank in. She managed a half hearted laugh and said, &#8220;Everyone is fine. That isn&#8217;t why I&#8217;m crying.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Do you want to talk about it,&#8221; Ashley asked, hating to see her like this. The cocky, brass girl was nowhere to be seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She started to shake her head, then changed her mind, &#8220;If you have a second.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley sat down beside her, waited for her to speak. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Mom and I had a fight. A big one,&#8221; Loren said, then laughed when she saw the look on Ashley&#8217;s face, &#8220;I know, what&#8217;s new, right? I&#8217;m not crying because of the fight.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Then what is it?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;We were screaming at each other and she was pushing all of my hot buttons. Years of practice and we knew right where to put the needles in to do the most damage. Then she made a comment about me getting hooked on drugs and pregnant by some boy. I don&#8217;t know, I just snapped. It was the straw that broke the camels back, I guess. I said, &#8216;I&#8217;m not going to get pregnant by some boy, Mom. I&#8217;m a lesbian.'&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh,&#8221; Ashley said, her eyes widening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah, that was her reaction too,&#8221; Loren laughed, shaking her head, &#8220;I was so mad I didn&#8217;t realize I had ousted myself until she repeated it back to me. Anger turned to dread in an instant and I wanted to run away. Couldn&#8217;t. I was rooted to my spot by the look on her face. It went from shock, to eureka. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;She didn&#8217;t speak at first. Then the first thing she said was, &#8216;Is this why you&#8217;ve been sneaking out and acting so secretive.&#8217; It got me thinking and I guess I have been a little secretive. Then it dawned on me. All the fights, she was trying to figure out what I was hiding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;When I nodded, you should have seen the look on her face. It was pure relief, like all of her cares were gone. I haven&#8217;t seen her look so relaxed in years. Then she hugged me so tightly I thought she&#8217;d break my ribs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I was stunned. I&#8217;ve daydreamed about what it would be like to come out, even had nightmares about it. Never expected anything like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That was when she told me she thought I was upset with her for leaving Dad, thought that was why I was acting out. I saw that that thought had been eating at her for some time. It kind of broke my heart and I told her no, it wasn&#8217;t her. I never blamed her for leaving Dad. He cheated on her all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;We sat down and had the first conversation that didn&#8217;t end in slammed doors we&#8217;d had in a long time. She asked a bunch of embarrassing questions, then just nodded. I asked her why she was nodding and she just smiled and said, &#8216;My daughter is a lesbian.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I started to bristle at the comment- old habits die hard, I guess- but she stopped me. &#8216;Not surprising really&#8217; she said, smiling, &#8216;Before I met your father, I was dating someone else. Her name was Stephanie. A lovely girl who broke my heart.'&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Wait,&#8221; Ashley said, laughing in surprise, &#8220;Your mom-&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yep.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That&#8217;s crazy,&#8221; she said, shaking her head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Pretty much. After that, she said the ground rules still stood, only now it&#8217;s no girls in my room, instead of boys. And she wants to meet Heather.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley thought about it for a moment, then said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t see why you are crying. No more sneaking around, pretending to be something you aren&#8217;t. You get to be you, finally.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I know,&#8221; she said, sighing, &#8220;I should be happy. It&#8217;s just\u2026 Heather and my relationship <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">was built on the excitement of being a secret. Forbidden love. Romantic, right?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Sensing they were getting to the real reason she was upset, Ashley waited for her to get it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Now, the secret is out. No more hiding,&#8221; she said, shaking her head and laughing, &#8220;And I&#8217;m scared to death. What if our relationship falls apart because the danger is gone?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\"><em>And there it is<\/em>, Ashley thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Loren,&#8221; she said, patting her step-sister&#8217;s thigh, &#8220;I saw how that girl looked at you. She is crazy about you. Judging by how upset you are making yourself, I&#8217;d say the feeling is mutual.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I love her to death, Ashley.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Then stop over-thinking it,&#8221; Ashley said, smiling at her, &#8220;Be happy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Ashley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Loren surprised her with a fierce hug, which she returned, &#8220;Thank you, Ashley. For, you know, this. The pep talk.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It&#8217;s what sisters do,&#8221; she said, smiling at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She favored Ashley with a warm smile, &#8220;I guess they do.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Then her eyes widened as she thought of something. Leaning forward, she said, &#8220;How was your big weekend? Get to play with your new toys?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley laughed and said, &#8220;Yeah.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Really? I kind of figured you&#8217;d change your mind. Chicken out.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Why?&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Didn&#8217;t it hurt? I mean, you are only twelve,&#8221; Loren said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;A little. And I was sore this morning but it felt really good.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Loren made a face and Ashley laughed, &#8220;You asked.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Alright, I don&#8217;t need the details,&#8221; she said, shaking her head, &#8220;I don&#8217;t need that image in my head.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Picking up the phone, she looked at it for a long moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Waiting on a call,&#8221; Ashley asked, looking from the phone to her step-sister.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;No,&#8221; she said, with a sheepish grin, &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to work up the courage to invite my girlfriend to meet my parents. Mom wants me to invite her to dinner tomorrow.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Meeting the parents? That is a big step, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; she said, laughing, &#8220;you only bring the ones you like home to meet the parents.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Be sure and tell Heather that,&#8221; Ashley said, smiling, &#8220;Score some brownie points with the Misses.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Loren laughed, &#8220;The misses?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Too soon?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Let&#8217;s see how dinner goes first,&#8221; Loren said, laughing, &#8220;before you start marrying me off, okay?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Didn&#8217;t they legalize same sex marriages here,&#8221; Ashley asked, thinking she heard something about it last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;How does it work? Do you take her name? Or she yours? Do you use a hyphen? Whose name would come first?&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know. We haven&#8217;t talked about it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;How long have you been dating?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Alright,&#8221; Loren said, laughing, &#8220;We might have talked about it a little. Who takes whose name didn&#8217;t come up, is all.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley nodded, said, &#8220;Who gets the right side of the bed, right?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, she said, &#8220;Shut up.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What would it make me if you get married? Her step-sister-in-law? Is that right?&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; she laughed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Have I asked enough random questions to distract you from worrying enough to call her,&#8221; Ashley asked, making Loren blink at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">A little surprised, she said, &#8220;Actually, yeah. Is that what all the questions were about?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Sort of,&#8221; Ashley said, then, &#8220;Make the call. I&#8217;ll give you some privacy.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Actually,&#8221; she said, a sheepish grin on her face, &#8220;Can you hang around?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Moral support?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley nodded, took her hand. With a deep breath, Loren punched the number into the phone, hit SEND. She waited for someone to answer, looked ready to hit the END button and run away if someone didn&#8217;t answer soon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Finally, someone must have picked up because she sat up straighter and said, &#8220;Hey, Beth. It&#8217;s me\u2026 No, this is the house phone\u2026 Yeah, I&#8217;m calling you from the house phone\u2026 Yeah, she might see your number on the bill but I doubt it&#8217;ll be a problem\u2026 Why? Because she wants me to invite you to dinner tomorrow\u2026 She wants to meet the girl I&#8217;ve been dating.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Loren put her hand to her mouth and laughed. She held the phone out and Ashley could hear the girl cheering on the other end of the line. She gave Loren a look and she whispered, &#8220;She knows Mom knows.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Putting the phone back to her ear, she said, &#8220;Yeah, it finally happened\u2026 No, you were right. It wasn&#8217;t as awful as I thought it would be\u2026 Why dinner? You know how it is, you only bring the ones you really like home to meet the family.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley gave her a thumbs up. Loren listened a minute, then she mimed eating it up and gave her a look that said, <em>Oh yeah.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She giggled into her hand to keep quiet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;So, do I tell her to set another place&#8230; About six\u2026 Dress up? Couldn&#8217;t hurt. Get out the good flannel\u2026 I thought you might like that\u2026 I&#8217;ll let her know. I can&#8217;t wait to see you\u2026 I love you, too.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She disconnected, looked at Ashley, &#8220;Nice work with the meet the parents line.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Glad I could help.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Erin!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin had opened her eyes in Natty&#8217;s room, but the girl wasn&#8217;t there. Heading downstairs, she found her reclining on the couch. She was wearing jeans and a t-shirt featuring a cartoon character that had been invented almost fifty years after she died. Erin recognized the clothes- they were hers, after all. She had thought the outfit here so she could make a Facebook profile picture for the girl. Like everything she thought here, it had remained after she had gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She was a little surprised to see the girl in the outfit. Usually, she was naked or wearing something skimpy and see-through when Erin came visiting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Then, she noticed Natty had done something with her hair. Gone were the curls, the style fifty years out of date. She had straightened it, had it pulled back in a loose ponytail. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">With the clothes and the hairstyle change, she looked like any other girl Erin&#8217;s age. She could go to Brimm&#8217;s School for Girls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin suddenly felt very under dressed in just panties. She was considering thinking up some clothes when the girl spotted her. She laughed as she was embraced by an enthusiastic Natty, hugged the girl back. She breathed deep the scent of the girl, enjoyed her warmth, the feel of her body molded to hers. There was just something\u2026 special about this girl. While Mindy and Ashley were fun to fool around with, Natty had a special place in her heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Hey, girlfriend,&#8221; she said, pulling back so she could place a quick kiss on her lips, &#8220;Look at you. You look nice in jeans and a t-shirt. And the hair! Why did you change it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Hey, yourself,&#8221; she asked, looking down at herself, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know\u2026 I just wanted to try something new. What do you think?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I think you&#8217;d fit in at my school, no one the wiser,&#8221; She said, grinning at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty smiled, &#8220;Really?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She grinned, then said, &#8220;Hey, Happy Birthday! How&#8217;s it feel being a teenager?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Smiling, she said, &#8220;Still getting used to it. Being a teenager.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh, I have you something,&#8221; she said, grinning brightly, &#8220;have a seat. I&#8217;ll go get it for you. I&#8217;ll be right back.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin sat on the couch, wondering what the gift could be. A few minutes later, the effervescent girl returned with a little box wrapped in pink ribbon. She looked almost shy when she handed it to Erin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know what to get you,&#8221; she said, smiling, &#8220;I hope you like it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You didn&#8217;t have to get me a gift,&#8221; Erin said, untying the bow. When she opened the box, she found a necklace inside, with a sterling silver heart shaped pendant. Wide-eyed, she looked at Natty, &#8220;It is beautiful.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I had hoped you&#8217;d like it,&#8221; she beamed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I love it,&#8221; she said, honestly, &#8220;thank you, Natty!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Here, let me help you put on,&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Standing up, Erin let the girl slip the necklace around her neck and fasten the catch in the back. It felt dainty and feminine and she felt pretty wearing it. Turning, she let Natty see her wearing it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She grinned and said, &#8220;It looks better on you than in the box, and it looked really good in the box.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin gave her a big hug, said in her ear, &#8220;Where on earth did you get it?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Get what?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty gasped and Erin smiled. She saw Ashley coming down the stairs, dressed in her usual sleep attire- sleep shorts and a tank top. She waved at Natty when the girl&#8217;s head whipped around to look at her. She sprang on Ashley as she had Erin. The redhead giggled and hugged her back. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley pulled back and looked the girl up and down. She grinned and raised her eyebrows, &#8220;I recognize this shirt.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It&#8217;s mine,&#8221; Erin said, smiling, &#8220;Check out the hairdo, too.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh, hey,&#8221; she said, her eyes widening, &#8220;Look at you looking all modern chic. You look cute with a ponytail.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Hey, Ash,&#8221; she said, walking over to them, &#8220;check out what Natty got me for my birthday.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That is pretty,&#8221; she said, leaning down to get a good look at it. When she straightened up, she grinned at Natty, said, &#8220;My birthday is in February, if you are still feeling generous.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The girl laughed and gave her another hug, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe you both are here.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin met Ashley&#8217;s eyes and grinned, a grin that said, <em>She is in for a surprise then.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You have to tell me about this necklace,&#8221; Erin said, looking at the charm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It is a funny story,&#8221; Natty said, taking Erin and Ashley&#8217;s hands and leading them into the living room proper. Motioning for them to sit down, she said, &#8220;Is the jewelry store on Second Street still in business?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley nodded, &#8220;Yeah, I think so. Fink&#8217;s Jewelry, right?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That is the one,&#8221; Natty said, then lean in close and whispered, &#8220;I might have broken one of their big pane windows.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Erin said, &#8220;What?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t get the door open, so I put a brick through a window. Took a bunch of throws- those windows are more stout than they look. I almost ran away when the alarm started blaring. Then I remembered that no one is here but me. Nearly went deaf looking for the perfect gift.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You broke into the jewelry store to get me a gift,&#8221; Erin said, oddly touched by the gesture,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I love it. Thank you so much.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;For my birthday,&#8221; Ashley said, grinning, &#8220;Feel free to take something really, really expensive.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty laughed, offered her a sheepish grin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yawning, Mindy closed the book she was reading, set it aside. She glanced at her alarm clock, saw it was almost ten. Yawning again, she got off the bed and changed into her pajamas. With her alarm clock set, she turned out the light and turned on her side. It had been a crazy weekend and she hadn&#8217;t gotten a lot of sleep. She smiled as she remembered all the insanity: Erin&#8217;s thirteenth birthday party, the preteen lesbian orgy, using a strapon and having one used on her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She was still smiling as she drifted off to sleep. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Then she opened her eyes and she was standing in Natty&#8217;s bedroom. She recognized it from the last time she was here. Grinning, she remembered their plan to all visit Natty at the same time. She looked around but the girl was nowhere to be found. Shrugging, she left the room and heard voices downstairs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Recognizing Erin&#8217;s and Ashley&#8217;s voice, her grin widened. They had arrived before her, she guessed. Excited, she ran downstairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Well, there you are,&#8221; Erin said, smiling at her, &#8220;We were beginning to think you had forgotten about us.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Have you been here long?&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Not that long,&#8221; Natty said, coming into the living room. She had four Cokes, two in each hand but she still managed to give Mindy a hug. Giving one of the bottles to Mindy, she said, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe you all came to see me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;We missed you,&#8221; Ashley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;And I&#8217;ve missed you,&#8221; Natty said, handing out Cokes, &#8220;All of you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What are you wearing,&#8221; Mindy said, blinking when she noticed the jeans and t-shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Doesn&#8217;t she look very modern,&#8221; Ashley asked, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;And your hair!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty blushed, looked away shyly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I love it,&#8221; Mindy said, grinning, &#8220;It is incredible! You look like I could see you at the mall tomorrow.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Thanks,&#8221; Natty said, blushing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy found it intriguing that she could be so sensual and comfortable in her sexuality, could walk around in little to nothing and not bat an eye, but wearing clothes she seemed unsure of herself. It was a curious juxtaposition and very endearing. She went to the girl and gave her a big hug.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You look great. Very cute,&#8221; she said, pulling back, &#8220;You should have Erin think you up some more clothes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Definitely,&#8221; Mindy said, smiling at her uncertainty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Why don&#8217;t you do it,&#8221; Erin said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You mean,&#8221; Mindy said, frowning, &#8220;think something here? Do you think I can?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Ashley could,&#8221; she said, smiling, &#8220;Remember the vibrator?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to forget,&#8221; Mindy said, drawing a giggle from the girls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;We can call it an experiment. We know I can think things from my house into being here. And we know it isn&#8217;t limited to the house. Maybe Ashley can do it because she has been in contact with this place almost as long as I have. If you can do it, that means it has nothing to do with my room or a length of time. Am I making any sense?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Ashley said, nodding, &#8220;Go ahead, Mindy. Give it a shot.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;How do I do it?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I just close my eyes and picture what I want. Really focus on it, bring it to life in your mind, then it just sort of happens.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy shrugged, then closed her eyes. In her personal darkness, she thought about her closet, what outfits she thought Natty might like. Remembering her little black dress, the one she kept for special occasions, she pictured it in her mind, every detail clear and crisp in her memory. She waited, fixing the image in her head. A few seconds passed and she began to think she couldn&#8217;t do it, then she felt a change in air pressure. She recognized the phenomenon from Erin&#8217;s description of what had happened when she thought her laptop into this place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Her eyes springing open, she saw her dress materialize out of thin air and fall to the floor. She looked at it, amazed even though it was exactly what she was trying to do. Sure, she had heard Erin&#8217;s stories and had seen the laptop with her own eyes, but until she actually saw it done\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Whoa, that is weird,&#8221; Ashley said, laughing. Her emerald eyes were bright with excitement as she bent down to pick up the dress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Erin agreed, smiling, &#8220;It is a lot stranger when you see it just appear. My eyes were always closed when it happened before.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;This is a cute little dress,&#8221; Ashley said, holding it up to look at it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Thanks,&#8221; Mindy said, smiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Your turn, Ashley,&#8221; Erin said, taking the dress from her and handing it to Natty, &#8220;Let&#8217;s build this girl a wardrobe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy watched as the redhead closed her eyes, her face pinched as she concentrated. A feeling of anticipation grew thick in the air, like she could feel the potential. She couldn&#8217;t quite put her finger on it, but it was like the air was alive with possibilities and Ashley only had to pluck something from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Then there was the change of pressure, like air escaping a sealed container, followed by a distortion above the coffee table. Out of the distortion came a rain of clothing. Two pairs of jeans, shorts,a few t-shirts, shoes, a dress, even a coat fell in a pile on the table. Then the distortion disappeared and the air pressure returned to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Jesus, Ashley,&#8221; Erin said, her eyes wide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;A few of my favorite outfits,&#8221; she said, looking at the pile, &#8220;It is amazing. Those are my clothes. I&#8217;d recognize them anywhere.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin gave her a knowing smile, said, &#8220;Yeah, I know the feeling.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I know you told us about it, but to see it with our own eyes is something else,&#8221; Mindy said, grinning sheepishly, &#8220;I believed you when you said you thought something into being here- I mean I had seen the laptop and everything\u2026 I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m trying to say.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It is alright. I get it,&#8221; Erin said, laughing at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty bent over the coffee table, starting holding up items of clothing for inspection. The look on her face was a curious mixture of excitement, apprehension and curiosity. Her eyes shined with little girl enthusiasm that was endearing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Girl clothing has changed so much since I died,&#8221; she said, holding Ashley&#8217;s dress against her body, &#8220;Everything is tighter, shorter. More revealing.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Pretty much,&#8221; Mindy agreed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Thanks for the clothes,&#8221; she said, smiling, &#8220;It&#8217;s Erin&#8217;s birthday and I&#8217;m the one getting gifts.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin laughed, said, &#8220;Hey, you gave me this cool necklace. I finally have something to put in my jewelry box.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Jewelry box,&#8221; Natty asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Ashley and Mindy got me this beautiful jewelry box for my birthday,&#8221; Erin said, smiling at them, &#8220;It is intricately carved, with this howling wolf carved in relief\u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Her words trailed off as she saw the startled look on Natty&#8217;s face. Mindy looked from the girl to Erin, then back again. She saw recognition in her eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;No, it couldn&#8217;t be,&#8221; Natty said, frowning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Couldn&#8217;t be what,&#8221; Erin asked, raising her eyebrows questioningly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I had a jewelry box called the &#8216;Cuadro de Lobo&#8217;, which meant wolf box in Spanish. It looked just like the one you are describing now.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Really,&#8221; Ashley said, shaking her head, &#8220;surely it can&#8217;t be the same box we bought for Erin.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You are probably right,&#8221; she said, waving a dismissive hand, &#8220;but if is the same box\u2026&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What? Why are you looking so excited,&#8221; Erin asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Could you think the box here,&#8221; Natty asked, &#8220;I need to know, one way or the other.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shrugging, Erin closed her eyes and thought the box into the Place of Locked Doors. Natty&#8217;s gasp of recognition sent a chill through Mindy. It really was the girl&#8217;s box, or at least a replica.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe it is really the Cuadro de Lobo,&#8221; she said, picking up the box, &#8220;This is truly amazing. I looked for this jewelry box when I ran away from Gleason&#8217;s, couldn&#8217;t find it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Gleason&#8217;s,&#8221; Ashley asked, frowning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She blushed, looking at Mindy and Ashley, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t tell you two, did I? Only poor Erin knows my story. Here is the quick version: my parents died and I was put in an orphanage back in Russia. Some bad people abducted me, smuggled me out of the country to the United States where I was sold at an auction.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Jesus,&#8221; Mindy said, her hand to her mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I was bought by My Love, came to live here for four years. Gradually, I came to love the man. Which is why I was devastated when Johnny Law put him in prison and me in Gleason&#8217;s House for Girls.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That is horrible,&#8221; Ashley said, crying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Erin said, even though she&#8217;d already heard the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I met a girl at Gleason, older than me. We became lovers. Then she got adopted, moved away. I found out My Love had been stabbed to death in a prison fight. I was all alone in the world, everything I&#8217;ve ever known gone. That is a bleak life to look forward to, so I ran away from Gleason, came back here.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t find the Cuadro de Lobo anywhere,&#8221; she said, sighing, &#8220;Things might have turned out different if I had. I might not have done what I did.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">None of the girls asked what she did, even though only Erin knew the truth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What is so important about the box?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;The box,&#8221; Natty said, smiling, &#8220;Nothing. It is what is hidden inside that is so important.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What is hidden inside,&#8221; Erin asked, intrigued, &#8220;Assuming this is really your box.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It is,&#8221; Natty said, flipping it over to show them her initials carved into the bottom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">While they were watching she pressed in on corner of the bottom of the box. A barely audible click made the girls gasp, then a hidden tray popped out. A curious looking skeleton key was nestled in the velvet lined slot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;More hidden compartments,&#8221; Ashley said, shaking her head, &#8220;What&#8217;s up with all this secret squirrel stuff?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;My Love was a little paranoid,&#8221; Natty said, grinning sheepishly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Wait,&#8221; Mindy said, frowning, &#8220;You didn&#8217;t know about the secret compartment, right, Erin? Didn&#8217;t know the key existed?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;No. Why?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Then we just learned something new about this place,&#8221; she said, excitedly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What&#8217;s that?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That you really thought the jewelry box here. You had no way of knowing the key existed, so your mind couldn&#8217;t have fabricated it. That means this is really your birthday gift, not a figment of your imagination. You transported a real object between two planes of existence.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;But how can that be,&#8221; Erin asked, frowning, &#8220;If it is like my laptop, then its both here and there. How can the same object be in two different places at the same time?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t know. It just is,&#8221; Mindy said, shrugging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;This place makes my head hurt,&#8221; Ashley said, laughing, &#8220;When you think you&#8217;ve answered a question about this place, it only brings up two more.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah, tell me about it,&#8221; Erin said, shaking her head, &#8220;Anyway, what&#8217;s the key open?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Come on,&#8221; Natty said, getting off the couch, &#8220;I&#8217;ll show you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy glanced at Erin, who shrugged and followed the girl. Shrugging herself, she followed her into what would become her father&#8217;s office. Erin noticed once again how little it had changed. This could be her father&#8217;s desk and the giant bookcase still took up one wall in her time, as well. Only real difference was the lack of a computer and printer<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Going to the book case, Natty pulled a few books down from the middle section, set them aside. The girls gathered close, wondering what she was doing. Stepping out of the way, she pointed at a barely discernible keyhole in the back wall. The key slipped into it easily, then came a faint ratcheting sound on the other side of the wall. One whole section of the book case slid back and in behind its neighbor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What the-&#8221; Erin said, her eyes wide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Come on,&#8221; Ashley said, laughing, &#8220;More secret squirrel stuff?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty reached into the void, found a light switch. When a single overhead bulb came to life, it revealed stairs leading down. Erin stepped forward, disbelief on her face as she look at the stairs descending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;They go down,&#8221; Erin said, dumbfounded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Natty said, smiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;But we are on the ground floor,&#8221; Erin said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy saw her trying to wrap her head around the stairs, asked, &#8220;Does the house have a basement?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;I would have said no five minutes ago, but look at the stairs,&#8221; Erin said, laughing, &#8220;Is there a basement, Natty?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Of sorts,&#8221; she said, smiling, &#8220;Come on.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The girl led them down the stair and into much more than a basement. It was one giant room the same size as the house but was broken up into different areas. The girls spread out looking at the lavish set up. There was a giant bed with black silk sheets in one corner. Another corner was taken up by a bank of leather couches facing a projection screen. A full bath with a massive shower stall and tub occupied another. The last corner had a complete kitchenette. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Spread throughout the space were large lights, like the kind photographers used, and tripods with ancient looking video cameras mounted to them. Erin found them curious, frowned as she looked closer at one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;This a whole other place,&#8221; Mindy said, spinning around in a circle, &#8220;Like a studio apartment.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;How can we not know about this,&#8221; Erin said, shaking her head in wonder, &#8220;Surely the realtor would have mentioned this space to my parents.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Probably didn&#8217;t know it existed,&#8221; Natty said, smiling, &#8220;It isn&#8217;t on any blueprints anywhere. It isn&#8217;t supposed to exist.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;This is incredible,&#8221; Ashley said, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What&#8217;s with the cameras and the lights,&#8221; Erin asked, looking at Natty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;My Love was a photographer, had a little studio in town. He did mostly family portraits, small time stuff,&#8221; she said, coming to Erin&#8217;s side, &#8220;He made his real money here.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Here? You mean this secret room?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yes,&#8221; she said, then sighed, &#8220;He was a part of a ring, people who liked the same things he did. Namely little boys and girls. They would come to him to film or photograph their\u2026 games.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Oh,&#8221; Erin said, remembering the black and white photographs of a very naked Natty in the black box she&#8217;d found in the secret compartment in the back wall of her closet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;These photos and movies were traded and sold,&#8221; Natty said, bitterness in her voice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy went to her, hugged her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;My Love never traded pictures or videos he took of me. Those were special, he said,&#8221; she said, laughing, &#8220;The silly, messed up girl I was, I thought it was romantic. I was his and his alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Sometimes I helped him with the filming, held the microphone or worked one of the cameras,&#8221; she said, her face falling, &#8220;I saw a lot of things in this room. Trust me when I say I lucked out when My Love had the winning bid that day in New Mexico.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Anyway, the safe is under the island in the kitchen,&#8221; Natty said, heading to the kitchenette.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Safe?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;My Love didn&#8217;t like banks. They asked too many questions about where his money came from,&#8221; she said, bending down and opening one of the doors on the underside of the island. Reaching deep inside, she tripped a switch that freed the island from the floor. It slid aside, revealing a massive black safe in the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Holy cow, that is a big safe,&#8221; Ashley laughed, looking at Erin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; she agreed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;The combination is my birthday,&#8221; Natty said, rattling it off. She looked at Erin, then grinned at her, &#8220;Open it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Me?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It is your money now,&#8221; Natty said, smiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Money?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;You&#8217;ll see.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin sank to her knees and put the combination in. The huge door opened outward and had hydraulic assist so even a slight girl like Erin could muscle it open. Inside were bundles of bills wrapped in paper bands. Lots of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Whoa,&#8221; Ashley said, laughing. Her emerald eyes were huge when Erin looked at her, &#8220;That is a lot of money.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;How much is in here, Natty,&#8221; Erin asked, looking at the girl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;About seven million on last count. Could be as much as eight.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Seven million,&#8221; Erin said, looked like she might have fallen down if she wasn&#8217;t already kneeling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Happy birthday,&#8221; Natty said, then laughed when Erin looked up at her, &#8220;You are a multimillionaire.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It isn&#8217;t my money,&#8221; Erin said, dumbly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;It is now. You inherited it, along with the collection.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;The collection,&#8221; Mindy asked, frowning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That bookcase there,&#8221; Natty said, nodding in its direction. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Leaving Erin to look at her new found wealth, Mindy went to the bookcase, saw it was lined with photo albums and canisters holding what she assumed was film. She didn&#8217;t have to open on of the albums to guess what they contained but morbid curiosity drove her to pull one off the shelf and open it. Grimacing at the graphic pictures of a naked five year old boy and an overweight man, she closed the book in a hurry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin was looking at her, saw the look on her face. Mindy shook her head, &#8220;You don&#8217;t want to know.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;That bad?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Worse,&#8221; Mindy said, going to the sink to wash her hands. They felt dirty for touching the albums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty had wandered off, was looking at the projector aimed at the screen. She fingered the canister lovingly, a ghost of a smile on her lips. Noticing Mindy looking at her, she smiled sadly, said, &#8220;This was his favorite video.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She flipped the switch and the projector came to life. When the lamp had warmed up, Natty started the reel that was loaded on the machine. A slightly fuzzy, jerking video appeared on the white screen. It was in color, but the hues were washed out and nothing like the vibrant color of today&#8217;s film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy gaped and laughed as a young Natty- no more than eight or nine- started dancing on screen. She was completely naked, her slight body twisting and gyrating to some unheard song. Even at such a young age, she had an unstudied grace about her, a sensuality. The roll of her hips and flexing of her young body was mesmerizing. Mindy couldn&#8217;t tear her eyes from the screen, even though she knew she should look away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty&#8217;s hands roamed freely over her body as she danced, her caresses tantalizing as she teased whoever was behind the camera. Her touch didn&#8217;t seem rehearsed or forced, didn&#8217;t appear that she was just doing something her Love had taught her. She was grinning from ear to ear, truly seemed to enjoy dancing for him. It was sexy and hypnotic and\u2026 Real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Wow,&#8221; Ashley said, shaking her head and laughing. Mindy glanced at her but the redhead&#8217;s emerald eyes were fixed on the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Even this young,&#8221; Erin said, quietly. She hadn&#8217;t finished the thought but Mindy was sure she was thinking much the same thing as she was, that, even at eight or nine, Natty was magnetic, alluring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy wondered if it was something her Love had taught her. Had he shown her how to be sensual and sexual? Some how, she doubted it. She thought it was just a part of who Natty was, not affected or learned. She had a poise about her, a confidence and a grace that was electrifying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The reel ended and the spell was broken. Mindy went to tell Natty her dance, while inappropriate, had been sexy, but the girl was no longer at her side. Looking around, she spotted the girl fiddling with one of the cameras. Frowning, she went over to see what she was doing. It appeared she was loading film into it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What are you doing?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Grinning, Natty said, &#8220;You&#8217;ve seen my dance. Now it is your all&#8217;s turn.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;What? Are you serious,&#8221; Mindy laughed, then she saw that the girl was indeed serious, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think so.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Fair&#8217;s fair,&#8221; Natty said, winking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Yeah, but you didn&#8217;t make that deal ahead of time,&#8221; Mindy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t be a prude, Mindy,&#8221; Ashley said, grinning, &#8220;Shake that thing.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;She&#8217;s got her camera out,&#8221; Mindy said, pointing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;So,&#8221; Erin said, joining in, &#8220;Who is ever going to see the video?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Blinking, she realized Erin was right. The only people who&#8217;d ever see it were standing in this room. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">&#8220;Fine, but I&#8217;m not going first.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin laughed, said, \u201cI&#8217;ll go first.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mmm,\u201d Natty said, grinning as she turned the camera on, \u201cI still remember your last dance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin blushed when Mindy and Ashley looked at her for an explanation, said, \u201cI might have done a little dance for Natty in my angel costume.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Uh-huh,\u201d Ashley said, giving her a look, \u201cmore stuff you left out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You should have seen her,\u201d Natty said, winking at Erin, \u201cSuch a sexy dance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shame we missed it,\u201d Mindy said, laughing when Erin blushed brighter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I still have the outfit upstairs,\u201d Natty said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley suddenly perked up, said, \u201cOr you could think up something new, something sexy for your dance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Like your vampire costume,\u201d Natty said, sounding interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Vampire costume,\u201d Erin asked, looking at her friend. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">It was Ashley&#8217;s turn to blush as she said, \u201cNever mind about that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You gave me grief about not telling you about the angel costume and you are holding back information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Blushing even brighter, Ashley said, \u201cSorry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What does she mean by vampire costume,\u201d Mindy asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I might have thought up the costume from Underworld, the latex suit Kate Beckinsale wears,\u201d Ashley said, laughing when the brunette&#8217;s eyes widened, \u201cI just wanted to test my theory about our being able to think anything into being here in the Place of Locked Doors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She looked incredible in it,\u201d Natty said, flashing her eyes at the redhead, \u201cI even liked the hair.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Hair,\u201d Erin asked, frowning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh, yeah,\u201d Ashley said, laughing, \u201cit was crazy. In the process of thinking the outfit into being, I accidentally changed my hair to black, like Kate&#8217;s from the movie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Whoa, that is&#8230;\u201d Mindy said, trying to think just what it was, \u201ckind of scary, right?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What do you mean,\u201d Ashley asked, looking at her for an explanation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">It is one thing to think something into being,\u201d Mindy said, shivering, \u201cbut you changed something about yourself. How is that even possible?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I don&#8217;t know,\u201d she said, frowning, \u201cI did it by accident.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That is even scarier,\u201d Mindy said, shivering again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Why scarier?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I don&#8217;t know. Isn&#8217;t anyone else a little freaked out by the thought of being able to change how they look over here? What if it affects us on the other side? It&#8217;d freak me right out to wake up with my hair a different color or something like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That couldn&#8217;t happen,\u201d Ashley asked, her emerald eyes wide in shock, \u201cright?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I think it could, maybe,\u201d Erin said, frowning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Why do you say that,\u201d Natty asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Well, when I lost my virginity here,\u201d Erin said, rubbing the back of her neck nervously, \u201cI had lost it over there, as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Jesus,\u201d Ashley said, hugging herself, \u201cyou mean, I could have awakened a brunette if I hadn&#8217;t changed my hair back before leaving?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">It is possible,\u201d Erin said, then grinned, \u201cwhat a mess that would have been? Your dad would have flipped out, thinking you&#8217;d dyed your hair.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, the redhead said, \u201cOh, God! I&#8217;m glad that didn&#8217;t happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy was hugging herself, said, \u201cDo you think&#8230; Should we try it? One us, anyway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Try it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Change something about ourselves and not change it back,\u201d she said, biting her lower lip nervously, \u201cJust to be sure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I don&#8217;t know,\u201d Erin said, frowning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Do you think that would be a good idea,\u201d Ashley asked, looking at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;d sleep a little easier knowing,\u201d she said, looking from one girl to the other, \u201cone way or the other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I could give myself bigger boobs,\u201d Ashley said, laughing, \u201cI wouldn&#8217;t mind waking up a d-cup.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Grinning, Erin said, \u201cYou&#8217;d be jiggling all over the place; none of your bras would fit, anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What a horrible problem to have,\u201d she said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Still, probably not a good idea,\u201d Mindy said, laughing, \u201cyour parents would probably notice if you became top heavy over night. If we do it, it needs to be something easy to hide.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You mean something like this,\u201d Erin said, closing her eyes. Her brow pinched as she concentrated, then her eyes snapped open and she giggled. Pulling her panties out of the way, she showed the girl the little butterfly tattoo in the hollow of her hip bone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That&#8217;s amazing,\u201d Mindy said, leaning in for a closer look. She was grinning when she straightened up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I can&#8217;t believe that works,\u201d Erin said, looking down at herself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Are you going to try it,\u201dAshley asked, her emerald eyes meeting Erin&#8217;s, \u201csee if you wake up with a tattoo?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">With a nervous giggle, she said, \u201cI think one of us needs to, don&#8217;t you? To know for sure if it is possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Who can really say what is possible over here,\u201d Mindy said, shaking her head, \u201ceven if the tattoo isn&#8217;t there in the morning, does that really prove something else might not be the next time. I think we should be careful about what we change over here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She is right,\u201d Natty said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin pulled her panties aside again, looking at her tattoo. She was grinning when she looked up, said, \u201cI&#8217;m going to do it. It is too cute not to try.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">It is a cute tattoo,\u201d Ashley said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Well,\u201d Natty said, holding up her camera, \u201ccan we get back to the mischief at hand? You all owe me a dance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I think Erin volunteered to go first,\u201d Mindy said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Thanks, Mindy,\u201d Erin said, giving her a look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">No problem, friend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Erin, \u201cFine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Atta girl,\u201d Natty said, turning on her camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin started half-heartedly swaying her hips, then giggled and stopped, \u201cThis would be a lot easier with some music. Some one grab my laptop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Got it,\u201d Ashley said, running upstairs for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">There was an awkward moment while everyone just stood around and waited for her to return. Erin was blushing, rubbing her arms nervously. The redhead was grinning when she came running down the stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I have the perfect song for you,\u201d she said, opening the laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Doesn&#8217;t the dancer get to pick her song,\u201d Erin asked, laughing at her exuberance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I don&#8217;t think so,\u201d Mindy said, grinning at her, \u201cthen again, my stripper etiquette is a little rusty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Trust me, this is the perfect song,\u201d Ashley said, then paused to look at Erin, \u201cyou need a new outfit. You are already practically naked, as it is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I should put clothes on so I can just take them off, again,\u201d Erin asked, dubiously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yeah,\u201d Ashley said, winking at her, \u201cwouldn&#8217;t be much of a tease, right now. You&#8217;d just pull your panties off and be like ta-da.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Didn&#8217;t realize you all were this picky about your strippers,\u201d Erin said, making everyone laugh, \u201cwhat should I change into?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I don&#8217;t know,\u201d Ashley said, still laughing, \u201csomething slutty, sexy. Like a costume.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">A costume?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You know a slutty nurse costume. School girl outfit. A maid costume,\u201d Ashley said, grinning, \u201cSomething like that. Come to think of it, we should all do it, wear a costume.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What, like a stripper version of the Village People,\u201d Mindy asked, and the group fell out laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh my God,\u201d Ashley said, her emerald eyes flashing, \u201cWe should do that. Think up some costumes and do YMCA.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Are you kidding,\u201d Erin said, shaking her head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Come on. It would be fun,\u201d she said, laughing, \u201cwe&#8217;d need a slutty cop, cowboy. Construction worker&#8230; What else\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Indian,\u201d Mindy said, then started grinning, \u201cI&#8217;m calling that one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">See, Mindy&#8217;s on board,\u201d Ashley said, looking at Natty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What is the Village People,\u201d she asked, amused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">A band from the seventies,\u201d she said, smiling, \u201cdon&#8217;t worry. It is an easy song to pick up. Besides, you&#8217;d make a cute cop or cowgirl.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty looked at Erin, asked, \u201cAre you in?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shaking her head and laughing, she said, \u201cYeah, I&#8217;m in. I&#8217;ll be the cowgirl.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Turning back to Ashley, Natty said, \u201cLet&#8217;s do it. I&#8217;m the cop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Cool!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Everybody think up your costume,\u201d Mindy said, grinning mischievously, \u201cremember, slutty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Um,\u201d Natty said, frowning, \u201cI don&#8217;t think I can do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy frowned, said, \u201cOh yeah. I forgot about that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Have you tried,\u201d Erin asked, drawing everyone&#8217;s attention. Fidgeting, she went on, \u201cI mean, we can&#8217;t know for sure that Natty can&#8217;t unless she tries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You want me to think something into being,\u201d the girl asked, a curiosity in her eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Worth a shot,\u201d she said, then grinned, \u201cor you&#8217;ll be stuck with whatever skimpy outfit we put you in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh my,\u201d Natty said, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">So close your eyes and focus on what you want to appear, down to the little details.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty closed her eyes, her brow pinching as she focused on her costume. The girl held their breaths, waiting to see what would happen. The tension was so thick in the room, it could be cut with a knife. Time seemed to stretch, seconds lasting minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Finally, Natty sighed and opened her eyes. Shaking her head, she said, \u201cI can&#8217;t do it. I figured I wouldn&#8217;t be able to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Well,\u201d Erin said, grinning at her, \u201cat least, we know for sure, now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What does a slutty cop look like,\u201d Mindy asked, looking from Erin to Ashley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Huddle up,\u201d she said, and the girls put their heads together, \u201cI&#8217;m thinking hot pants and a crop top.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">And boots,\u201d Erin said, her eyes flashing with excitement, \u201cThigh high black boots with really tall heels.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">With a police style hat and sunglasses,\u201d Mindy said, glancing at Natty. The girl was watching the huddle with amusement, a smile on her face, \u201coh, with a gun and holster.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Handcuffs,\u201d Ashley said, blushing when Mindy gave her a look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">We all know why you want the hand cuffs,\u201d Erin said, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ha ha,\u201d she said, laughing anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Want to do the honors,\u201d Erin asked, looking at Mindy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yeah,\u201d Ashley said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Alright,\u201d Mindy said, taking a deep breath. She closed her eyes, cleared her mind, then one by one, she began to think the pieces of her sexy cop costume into being. There was the hiss of escaping air as articles of clothing began appearing and she heard Erin and Ashley whispering excitedly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">With the final rush of displaced air signaling the arrival of the last part of the costume, she opened her eyes and saw Natty poking through the pile of clothing and accessories. She picked up the hot pants, raised an eyebrow when she looked at Mindy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, she said, \u201cThey said slutty. I tried to make it as slutty as I could.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Grinning, Natty said, \u201cGood job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The girl started stripping out of her clothes, but Ashley said, \u201cWait. Let&#8217;s make it interesting. Nobody look until everyone is dressed. Pick a corner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I like it,\u201d Mindy said, grinning. She thought it was kind of exciting, the anticipation, wondering what the others would come up with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Just remember,\u201d Erin said, smiling mischievously, \u201cwe can&#8217;t let Natty be the only one in a slutty costume.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What&#8217;s a slutty construction worker look like,\u201d Ashley asked, making everyone laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You&#8217;ll figure it out,\u201d Mindy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That&#8217;s easy for you to say,\u201d the redhead said, giving her a look, \u201cyou get to be the sexy Indian squaw and Erin is the sexy cowgirl. Easy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You could always be one of the other Village People,\u201d Erin said, blushing when the girl turned to look at her, \u201cI think there was a soldier and a biker, as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">How do you know that,\u201d Ashley asked, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Don&#8217;t judge me,\u201d Erin said, blushing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Still laughing, Ashley said, \u201cI think I&#8217;ll stick with the construction worker. I like a challenge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">To your corners,\u201d Mindy asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">To your corners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy chose the kitchenette, watched as the other girls found their spots. She turned her back on them, grinning. She couldn&#8217;t help but wonder what her friends would come up with and she was definitely looking forward to seeing how Natty looked in the costume she had created. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She cleared her mind, ready to create, then frowned. She didn&#8217;t know what a sexy Indian girl should look like. Taking a deep breath, she imagined some tanned leather boots, over the knee and high heeled, with fur lined tops and rawhide lace up straps in the back. When the boots thumped to the tiled floor, she opened her eyes to see what she had created. She wasn&#8217;t sure they were Native American, but they definitely were sexy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Slipping into them, she looked down at herself. She was taller, the heels making her legs look sexy. Seeing the fur-lined tops of the boots, she got an idea for the rest of her costume. Nervous excitement coursed through her as she closed her eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">There was a tickle on her skin, like static electricity and she gasped. Her eyes snapped open and she gasped, again. She hadn&#8217;t meant to, but she had thought her costume into being on her body instead of on the floor like the boots. Gone were her sleep clothes, replaced by the outfit she now wore. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The costume was simple, left a lot of skin revealed. A dark fur triangle shaped fur was tied off on one hip, leaving a buttock and all of one leg revealed. She hadn&#8217;t imagined panties for the outfit, wasn&#8217;t wearing any. Any movement at all and her modesty would be lost. An ace bandage of a top in the same silky, dark colored fur was wrapped around her chest and secured in the front by beaded leather straps, barely covering her small breasts. A colorful bead choker necklace had appeared around her slender neck and a patterned leather headband with several feathers sticking up around her forehead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Reaching up hesitantly, her fingers found the face paint she had imagined, giggled. Even higher and she found her new twin braids, her black hair twisted and tied at the ends with colorful lengths of rawhide. She had pictured it like that in her head, had intended to do it once she was dressed and had accidentally thought it into being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She couldn&#8217;t believe the costume had just materialized around her. On her. And it had been so easy. She felt a nervous shiver work through her when she thought about her hair, how it had just changed without her really meaning for it to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">It&#8217;s fine,\u201d she whispered, taking a deep breath, \u201cI&#8217;ll just un-think it before I wake up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Everyone ready,\u201d she called out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Um, give me a minute,\u201d Erin said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Anxious to see everyone, Mindy sighed. What cute, slutty costumes would they come up with, she wondered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\"><em>For that matter<\/em>, she thought, frowning, <em>I&#8217;d like to see what I came up with. I should have picked the bedroom, so I would have had a mirror.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Then an idea came to her and she giggled, closed her eyes. Holding out her hands in front of her, she imagined herself holding a mirror, maybe two feet wide and four feet long. There was that curious tingling sensation, then she was holding the mirrored glass in her hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Looking at her reflection, she had to smile. Other than her pale skin, she could pass for a squaw. She thought she looked really cute. Satisfied, she leaned the mirror against the island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Hurry up,\u201d she said, giggling, \u201cthe suspense is killing me!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;m ready,\u201d Erin said, laughing, \u201cAshley?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Um, yeah,\u201d the redhead said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I think so. This belt gave me fits but I think I have it on now,\u201d she said, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">On the count of three, everyone turns around,\u201d Erin said, then slowly started counting, \u201cOne&#8230; Two&#8230; Three!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy turned around, her eyes finding Natty first. She gasped and giggled, her eyes wide as she drank in the girl. The girl looked even sexier than she thought she would in the shiny thigh-high books with the impossibly high heels; the little black booty shorts with a utility belt hanging rakishly low on one hip for her gun and holster, her badge and handcuffs; an iddy biddy crop top to match the shorts; aviator sunglasses and a police style hat sitting on her head. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She managed to look cute, goofy and hot all at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty saw her looking, turned her attention towards her. Her eyes widened as she took Mindy in and a smile spread on her lips. Blushing, Mindy winked at her. Natty&#8217;s smile widened and she nodded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">After all that complaining,\u201d Erin said, drawing her attention, \u201cyou look amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Following her gaze, Mindy saw Ashley looking down at herself. Erin was right, the redhead managing to make construction work look sexy. She wore improbable high-heeled &#8216;work&#8217; boots, little cut-off denim shorts and a flannel shirt tied just under her breasts. She had a tool belt hanging on her hips and a hard hat on her head. She was all bared long legs and flat belly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yeah, Ashley,\u201d Mindy said, grinning at her, \u201cI&#8217;d let you clean my gutters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">With a startled laugh, the redhead asked, \u201cWhat?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Blushing, she said, \u201cI heard it in a movie, once. I don&#8217;t even know what it means. Pretty sure it is dirty, though.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Wow,\u201d Erin said, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy looked at her and had to smile. Erin made a cute cowgirl, wearing heeled cowboy boots and black chaps; a black thong, its string disappearing between her buttocks, a black triangle top like an over-sized bandana tied low to reveal as much cleavage as she could muster; and a black cowboy hat worn tipped forward in the front. She wore crisscrossing gun belts on her hips, two revolvers in holsters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Looking from Erin to Mindy, Ashley grinned and said, \u201cYou two look like you are about to play some kinky cowboys and Indians.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Erin winked at Mindy, said, \u201cThere&#8217;s a thought.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy was grinning as she sauntered over to her, gave her a quick kiss, \u201cAfter we do this video, maybe we can all have some fun. It&#8217;d be a shame to waste these costumes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin&#8217;s eyes flashed at her as she said, \u201cThe girl has a point.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Then let&#8217;s hurry up and do this dance thing,\u201d Ashley said, giggling, \u201cOh, God! I can&#8217;t believe we are actually doing this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;ll get a camera set up,\u201d Natty said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;ll download the song,\u201d Ashley said, then grinning at Erin, \u201cunless you already have it saved on your computer?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shut up,\u201d she laughed, shaking her head, \u201cand no, I don&#8217;t have it saved. You should find the video on Youtube, let Natty watch it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Good idea,\u201d the redhead said, going to the laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Looking at Erin, she said, \u201cYou know, Halloween is coming up soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yeah,\u201d Erin said, then started grinning, \u201cwhy, are you thinking about wearing that costume?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Mindy said, \u201cConsidering I can&#8217;t walk without everyone seeing my business, probably not. I was just thinking&#8230; We could have a Halloween party here. Us four. Sexy costumes, sexy fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I like it,\u201d Erin said, nodding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Got it,\u201d Ashley said, grinning, \u201ceveryone check this out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The girls huddled around the laptop to watch the video. Natty laughed, looked at Erin, \u201cWhat in the world is this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Trust me,\u201d Erin said, grinning sheepishly, \u201cthe song gets stuck in your head.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty glanced at Ashley, who laughed, \u201cJust keep watching.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shrugging, the blonde returned her attention to the screen. When they made it to the famous chorus, the girl was grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What do you think,\u201d Mindy asked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Once you get past the men in goofy costumes,\u201d she said, laughing, \u201cit is a catchy song. At least, we don&#8217;t look like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">We definitely make a much hotter Village People,\u201d Ashley agreed, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Are we going to do this,\u201d Erin asked, pointing at the screen, \u201cthe YMCA?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">We do owe Natty a dance,\u201d Mindy said, laughing, \u201calthough she is going to be in it. I guess we&#8217;d technically still owe her one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;m glad you came around,\u201d Natty said, winking at her, \u201cLet&#8217;s do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Um, where do you want us,\u201d Erin said, looking around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;ve got the camera set up there,\u201d Natty said, leading the way. Ashley grabbed the laptop and they followed her. Natty went to the camera, which she had set up on a tripod facing the bed. Looking through the viewfinder, she said, \u201cWe will all be in frame if we stay in front of the bed, with maybe three feet on either side. Should be plenty of room for us to spread out and dance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Alright,\u201d Ashley said, setting the laptop on the bed, \u201ceveryone ready?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Mindy said, \u201cNo, but let&#8217;s do it anyway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty grinned at her, started the tape rolling. She ran over to the group, an amazing feat in the high heels. Ashley started the song, again and the girls fell into line. Mindy started giggling as soon as the music started, couldn&#8217;t stop. It was alright though, she wasn&#8217;t the only one. Mimicking the dance moves from the video, she wondered if she looked as goofy as she felt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The chorus was coming up and Mindy got ready for it, checked that she was the third in line. The &#8216;C&#8217;. Natty threw her arms up in a &#8216;Y&#8217;, then Ashley an &#8216;M&#8217;. She was laughing so hard, she could barely form a her letter with her arms. Erin started laughing because of her, then the whole group lost it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;m sorry,\u201d Mindy said, clutching her side from laughing so hard, \u201cI can&#8217;t do this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ah, you are a mess,\u201d Ashley said, grinning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I can&#8217;t stop laughing,\u201d she said, wiping a tear from her eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I guess the dancing part is over,\u201d Erin said, winking at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yeah, I can&#8217;t do this, anymore. My side hurts,\u201d Mindy said, her laughter finally trailing off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Good,\u201d Erin said, then gave Mindy a playful push. Already unsteady on the heels, she fell backwards with a startled little cry. She landed safely on the bed, looking wide-eyed up at Erin. She saw Erin grinning down at, saw the playful look on her face and had to grin herself. Crawling backwards, she let Erin join her on the massive bed. On her hands and knees, the blonde looked down at her and she sat up to kiss her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Um, I guess we still owe you a dance,\u201d Ashley said, giggling as she joined the pair on the bed. Mindy grinned at her, pulling the redhead down for a kiss. Breaking the kiss, Ashley looked at Natty still standing at the foot of the bed, asked, \u201cCan we have a rain check?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Natty crawled onto the bed and gave her a kiss, \u201cWe&#8217;ll call it even.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy saw Ashley look past the girl at the video camera on the tripod, saw the red light blinking on the front. She felt a flush of excitement as she realized the film was still rolling, recording the scene on the bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\"><em>Natty might end up with more of a film than she realized<\/em>, Mindy thought, hear heart racing in her breast. She met Natty&#8217;s eyes and the girl winked at her, and she realized the girl knew all too well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She was distracted from her thoughts when Erin&#8217;s hand slipped up her bare thigh and under her fur wrap. Looking back at her, she saw her friend grinning as she took advantage of the fact Mindy hadn&#8217;t thought up panties for her costume. Mindy sighed as her fingers found her tender bud, sent little shivers of pleasure working through her young body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">No panties,\u201d Erin asked, amused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Forgot them,\u201d Mindy said, around a moan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I think you did it on purpose,\u201d she said, leaning in to kiss her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Maybe,\u201d she said, grinning up at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ashley on her knees, removing her hard hat and tool belt. Natty had likewise removed her utility belt and police hat. The two girls came together, their lips meeting in a heated kiss. Then Ashley spilled them both backwards, landing on top the giggling blonde. Natty wrapped her long legs around Ashley&#8217;s hips, her ankles crossing. They returned to kissing, their hands roaming freely over each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy was flushed, her breathing fast as she watched them make out. What Erin was doing to her didn&#8217;t help anything, her fingers doing wonderful things to her. Looking back at her, she saw she was watching Natty and Ashley, too, her gray eyes sparkling with excitement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Smiling, she urged Erin to turn around, her legs straddling her neck. She slipped the thong Erin wore to one side, looked at her cute girlhood. The blonde looked through her legs at her and Mindy half sat up so she could bury her face in the girl&#8217;s sex. It didn&#8217;t take much urging for Erin to spread her thighs wider, lowering her body to Mindy&#8217;s mouth. She moaned thickly as the brunette&#8217;s tongue slipped into her, tasted her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh God,\u201d Erin moaned, her hips gyrating in counter-rhythm on Mindy&#8217;s thrusting tongue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Her fingers moved lower and Mindy&#8217;s head fell back as they slipped into her ready sex. She forgot all about what she had been doing for a moment, basking in the sensation of the fingers moving in and out of her. Not wanting to be forgotten, Erin pushed against her mouth, reminding her. Grinning, she grabbed her thighs, tasted her, again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin had her body going crazy, thrusting into her faster and faster. It was hard to concentrate on Erin&#8217;s girlhood, those fingers forcing moan after moan from her. It was all she could do to keep her tongue. Erin didn&#8217;t seem to mind doing all of the work, her lithe body rocking against her mouth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mixed with hers and Erin&#8217;s sounds of enjoyment, she could hear Ashley and Natty moaning and sighing beside them. Using her fingers on Erin for a moment, she rolled her head to the side to see what the duo had gotten into. Natty&#8217;s legs were still locked around Ashley&#8217;s waist and the redhead was rolling her hips back and forth, grinding their bodies together. It was sexy and kind of funny, both girls still mostly in costume. Judging by the slack mouthed look on both of their faces, it must feel pretty good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She turned her attention back to Erin, her tongue once again slipping inside of her friend. Erin gently rocked her hips, taking her in as deep as she could. Mindy kept rubbing her clit, the dueling sensations making Erin cry out in pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I&#8217;m going to come,\u201d Erin said, her body losing its grace. Not even trying to keep her mouth to her friend&#8217;s jerking body, Mindy pushed her over the edge with her fingers. Erin cried out one more time, her body stiffening, then it went crazy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">After a few seconds, Erin remembered her, her fingers beginning to thrust into her, again. Erin threw her leg to one side, so she wasn&#8217;t straddling Mindy&#8217;s face anymore. She spun again until she was on her knees between the Mindy&#8217;s spread thighs, her mouth finding her young sex. The feel of her tongue, hot and wet on her tender bud, and the fingers slipping in and out of her was almost too much to bear. She moaned and arched her back as Erin&#8217;s fingers found the sweet spot deep inside of her. Like a joy buzzer, it sent shocks of pleasure arcing through her body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Rolling her head to the side, she saw Ashley was now on her back with Natty grinding her pussy against hers. The costumes were gone, both girls very naked. It was a turn on, watching her friends trib, their bodies flexing and contracting in perfect rhythm. She liked the roll of Natty&#8217;s hips and the way Ashley&#8217;s came up to meet her, counter-thrust for thrust. Both girls were breathing heavy, their bodies glistening with sweat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley saw her looking, offered her her hand. Grinning at her, Mindy took it, squeezed it hard as Erin teased another little wordless cry from her. The redhead met her eyes and in a very intimate moment, their pleasure was shared. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy saw her emerald eyes widen in surprise, then heard the girl gasp. She watched the girl realize she was coming. Her face screwed up in ecstasy, her eyes closing as her body went crazy against Natty&#8217;s. The tension suddenly went out Ashley face and she looked so peaceful for a split second, lost in orgasmic bliss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh God,\u201d Natty cried, stiffening atop Ashley. Mindy turned her head and watched the blonde shake with her own orgasm, her slender body trembling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Watching both girls come had her so excited that she felt her own orgasm building inside of her, like a boiler gathering steam, ready to explode at any minute. Her little cries grew sharp as Erin pushed her closer and closer to the edge. Then she came, her whole body arching off the bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">All of the tension left her on a flood of feel good juices and she collapsed to the bed like a wet rag. When Erin crawled up her supine body, she pulled the girl down atop her, kissed her deeply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin licked her lips when she pulled back and Mindy realized she could taste herself on Mindy&#8217;s lips. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">We still haven&#8217;t done what we came here for,\u201d Ashley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What,\u201d Mindy asked, frowning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Remember at Erin&#8217;s,\u201d the redhead said, grinning, \u201cwhat we were going to show Natty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What are you going to show me,\u201d Natty asked, looking from one girl to the next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What Ashley was talking about finally dawned on her and she said, \u201cOh, those.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin was grinning as she closed her eyes and there was a disturbance in the air above the bed. From thin air, her strap-on appeared and fell to the bed. Natty frowned, picked it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I know what this is,\u201d she said, pointing at the dildo, \u201cbut what&#8217;s with all the straps?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Winking at her, Erin said, \u201cYou&#8217;ll see.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy watched the blonde pull of the thong, then slip into her harness. She grinned as she saw Natty&#8217;s eyes widen as she understood the reason for all the straps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh my,\u201d the dead girl said, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She stretched out on her back and Erin moved between her legs. Natty helped her ease the dildo into her, moaning thickly as it slipped deep. She grinned up at Erin, her beautiful eyes full of mischief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve done this,\u201d the girl said, sighing as Erin began to move slowly in and out of her, \u201cOh, God! Too long.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Undoing the top, Erin threw it away, but left the chaps and boots on. Mindy couldn&#8217;t help but admire her, thought she looked incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley looked at Mindy, winked, then closed her eyes. Mindy heard the sound of air being displaced then the redhead&#8217;s strap-on materialized above the bed. She grinned at the redhead as she slipped into the harness, crawled over to give Natty a kiss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Still on her hands and knees, she felt Ashley&#8217;s weight shift on the bed as she moved behind her. She shivered when the cool rubber of the dildo pressed against her girlhood. For all she thought she was ready for it, she gasped when Ashley eased it inside her. She had forgotten how big it was, felt herself stretching to accept it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Glancing over her shoulder at Ashley, she saw the girl grab her hips and begin to thrust into her. She moaned thickly as the shaft found that magic spot Erin had tormented earlier, her body still not completely recovered from her orgasm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh, God,\u201d she moaned, as Ashley&#8217;s pace slowly increased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She turned back, met Natty&#8217;s eyes. The girl managed a smile before she lost it as Erin continued to slowly roll her hips back and forth. Natty bit her lip, tried to hold in the sounds that were dripping from her slack mouth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy twisted her body, lowered her mouth to one of her turgid nipples. As she licked and gently nibbled that pink nub, Natty lost her battle with those cries. Rolling her eyes up, Mindy winked at her as she teased the nipple until Natty groaned. The girl looked all out of sorts, was clutching at the sheets as her body tried to escape its delicious torment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley&#8217;s hands demanded her attention, slipping up her flanks to cup her jiggling breasts. Mindy groaned as the tables were turned on her, the redhead torturing her sensitive nipples until she arched her back. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Putting a hand on her cheek, Erin turned her head, kissed Mindy deeply. She hadn&#8217;t expected it, felt herself responding to the kiss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">One of the hands cupping her small breasts slipped down her stomach and into the junction of her thighs. She moaned into Erin&#8217;s mouth, had to break the kiss as Ashley teased her tender bud with her fingers. So many lovely things were happening to her and she couldn&#8217;t focus on any one of them. They blurred into one pleasantly intense sensation, had her making these wordless cries of pleasure. Closing her eyes and hanging her head, she let Ashley have her way with her. Just held on for the ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">How I&#8217;ve missed this,\u201d Natty moaned, propping up on her elbows for a kiss from Erin, \u201cPlease don&#8217;t stop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy didn&#8217;t want it to stop, either. She knew she wouldn&#8217;t last much longer, already felt an orgasm stirring to life inside of her. The thrusting of the dildo, coming fast and deep now, the fingers teasing her bud&#8230; It was all too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She cried out as she came, jerked off the dildo like it had burned her. Gasping, she shook with her orgasm. Her whole body was trembling as she turned around and embraced the grinning redhead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That was amazing,\u201d she whispered, then kissed her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">My turn,\u201d Ashley said, undoing one of the straps and slipping out of the harness. She held it out to Mindy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I have my own, thanks to you,\u201d she said, closing her eyes and picturing her harness already on her hips. She felt that curious tingling she had felt when she thought her costume into being and heard Ashley laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Opening her eyes she saw the redhead grinning at her, \u201cWhy didn&#8217;t I think of that? So much easier than trying to put it on the old fashion way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She looked down and saw her strap-on firmly in place, then looked back at Ashley, said, \u201cTurn around.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">So forceful,\u201d Ashley said, excitement creeping into her voice. She turned around on her knees, looked back at Mindy, said, \u201cIs this how you want me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Grinning, Mindy put a hand between her shoulder blades and urged her down until her backside was in the air and her cheek pressed against the mattress. It was a very revealing position, had to make Ashley feel very vulnerable. The girl was biting her lip, looked more than a little turned on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy eased into her, found the girl more than ready for the dildo. Ashley moaned as she took a hold of her hips and began to thrust. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Let me have your hands,\u201d Mindy said, holding out her hand, \u201cput them behind your back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shivering with excitement, Ashley did as she said. Mindy trapped her wrists, holding her arms behind her. The girl&#8217;s soft sighs became moans as she couldn&#8217;t pull them away. Mindy had to smile, thinking it was easy to get the girl going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Pass me the handcuffs,\u201d she said to Erin, pointing at the set on Natty&#8217;s utility belt. Erin passed them to her, laughing and shaking her head. She snapped one open cuff on Ashley&#8217;s wrist, the girl giggling. She closed the other one, securing the redhead&#8217;s arms behind her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Not getting away from me, now,\u201d Mindy said, her hands returning to her hips. She heard Ashley&#8217;s breathing change, new the girl was turned on by the handcuffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I don&#8217;t think we have a key for those,\u201d Erin said, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That&#8217;s alright,\u201d Mindy said, her voice playful, \u201cI wasn&#8217;t planning on letting her go, anyway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Uh-oh, Ash,\u201d Erin laughed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Taking her time, Mindy thrust in and out of Ashley&#8217;s sopping wet pussy, enjoying the way the nub on the back of the strap-on rubbed against her still sensitive clit. Leaning forward, she grabbed Ashley&#8217;s shoulder, pulled her to her knees. The girl moaned as she let her hands slip up stomach to cup her breasts. Mindy teased her pink nipples until the girl squirmed, didn&#8217;t stop until she arched her back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Playfully, she pushed her back down, her face on the sheets, again. Ashley&#8217;s sounds of excitement got almost instantly louder. The girl really did like being messed with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh, OH,\u201d Natty said, drawing Mindy&#8217;s attention. So caught up in playing with Ashley, she had forgotten about the two blondes beside her. Turning her head, she saw Erin had a hold of Natty&#8217;s hips, was really letting her have it. Natty&#8217;s eyes were rolled back in her head and she couldn&#8217;t finish a moan without a thrust cutting it off. Her back was arched off the bed, her small breasts straining skyward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Then she let out one more cry of ecstasy, her body stiffening. Gasping for air, she smoothed the hair from her face, smiled up at Erin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Grinning, Mindy turned her attention back to the writhing redhead. She was close to coming, Mindy thought. She slowed down, didn&#8217;t want to finish her off too quickly. Ashley craned her head around, looked frustrated by the change of pace. Mindy only smiled at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That&#8217;s not cool,\u201d Ashley said, pouting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That&#8217;s the problem with not having control,\u201d Mindy said, stopping all together, \u201cI can make you come until you beg to stop or I can tease you until you beg to come. It all depends on my mood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Please start thrusting, again,\u201d Ashley said, still pouting, \u201cI was so close.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You mean like this,\u201d she said, thrusting once, then stopping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Come on,\u201d Ashley said, laughing, \u201cplease let me come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">What&#8217;s in it for me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">My undying gratitude,\u201d Ashley said, hopefully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">How about you make Erin feel good and we&#8217;ll talk about your orgasm? It is her birthday, after all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin leaned in and whispered, \u201cHow are you so good at this? Teasing her?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Sarah liked to play games, too. She would get turned on by letting me be in charge, had me watch these videos to learn how.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Well, you have poor Ashley a horny mess,\u201d Erin said, crawling in front of the girl. She stretched out on her back, opened her legs wide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley removed the strap-on Erin was wearing, tossed it aside. She glanced over her shoulder at Mindy and the brunette nodded. She lowered her mouth to Erin&#8217;s sex, teased her bud with her tongue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy waited for the first moan from Erin before pushing the dildo deep into Ashley. She pulled it out slowly, then eased it back in. Keeping up that tantalizing pace, she watched as the redhead tried to please Erin. Without her hands to hold her up, it was no easy task, made more difficult because Mindy&#8217;s slow thrusts were driving her crazy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She wasn&#8217;t aware Natty had moved until, she felt the girl&#8217;s hand on her back. Looking over her shoulder, she saw the blonde had slipped into Ashley&#8217;s strap-on. Mindy realized her intentions, wondered how in the world it would work. Still, when Natty pulled her harness to one side, she didn&#8217;t stop her from slipping the dildo into her. Suddenly, she was sandwiched between Ashley&#8217;s round backside and Natty&#8217;s lower abdomen, the knot of her own strap-on rubbing against her clit every time she thrust into Ashley and the dildo of Natty&#8217;s moving deep inside of her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh God,\u201d she moaned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley looked back at her, smiled when she saw what Natty was doing to her, \u201cNow who is stuck?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Do you want me to stop, again?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Please don&#8217;t,\u201d Ashley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Mindy started slowly moving her hips, again, letting her strap-on ease in and out. Each thrust was a sweet torture, her young body assaulted from both sides. Natty&#8217;s dildo moved inside of her every time and the knot was pressing deliciously against her tender bud. She bit her lip, moaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">With a surprising amount of grace, Natty and Mindy found a rhythm, a pace that had Mindy making these little mewling sounds. She couldn&#8217;t stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty slid her hands up her flanks to cup Mindy&#8217;s breasts, making her back arch as her nipples drug across her palms. The top parted, fell between them and Natty&#8217;s fingers found bare skin. She groaned as the blonde continued to knead those pale swells. It was almost more than she could bear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She tried to focus on something else before she got too excited. She watched Ashley as she struggled with going down on Erin. Erin was up on her elbows, had her hand on the back of the redhead&#8217;s head, holding her to her undulating body. Her head was lulled back, her golden hair sweeping the sheets behind her. Her stomach kept clenching and her breasts heaving as moan after moan ripped from her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Seeing Erin in throes of pleasure wasn&#8217;t helping, so she closed her eyes. She could still hear her cries mixing with her own and Ashley&#8217;s. There was no escaping the wonderful sensations swirling around her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">She felt an orgasm start to build inside of her, knew what was coming but couldn&#8217;t stop it. Crying out, she climaxed, her whole body going crazy. Natty didn&#8217;t stop, kept thrusting into her spasming sex. She pushed against her buttocks each time, forced Mindy to keep pleasuring Ashley. The knot of her strap-on was rubbing against her now very sensitive clit, making her hips jerk<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh, God,\u201d she cried, as a second orgasm grabbed a hold of her and shook her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley looked over her shoulder, saw Mindy&#8217;s face screwed up in a rictus of pleasure and grinned before turning back to Erin. She pushed back into each thrust, putting more pressure on the dildo and driving Mindy&#8217;s already writhing body wild.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Natty kept her hips rolling forward, the dildo biting deep into Mindy&#8217;s sensitive sex. Mindy tried to put a hand between them, hold her off but Natty snared it and held it away. Helpless, Mindy gritted her teeth as a third orgasm took her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">You better hurry up and finish Erin off, Ashley,\u201d Natty said, her tone playful, \u201cI&#8217;m not sure how much more Mindy can stand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy looked at Erin, saw she was close, her body driving crazy by Ashley&#8217;s mouth. She gritted her teeth, forced herself to breath slowly, to relax. She was no stranger to this game, had played it more than once with Sarah, her babysitter. She could hold off a fourth orgasm if she just stayed calm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Erin&#8217;s head, which had been lulling loosely on her neck suddenly snapped up and she looked wide eyed at Ashley. Her hips jerked without grace, then she locked up as she came. A cry escaped her, the sound of pure ecstasy. Trembling, she collapsed to her back. She was smiling, her eyes closed as the feel good juices started flowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Leaning in, Natty whispered in Mindy&#8217;s ear, \u201cDo you promise to make Ashley feel good?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yes,\u201d Mindy moaned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Not to stop until she comes,\u201d Natty asked, thrusting faster. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">It was getting harder for Mindy to hold back her orgasm. If Natty kept this up she was going to loose the battle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Yes,\u201d she said, her words little more than a whisper. She couldn&#8217;t catch her breath to say it any louder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Even if you can barely think straight from coming yourself,\u201d Natty teased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I promise,\u201d Mindy said, loosing control. She cried out as a fourth orgasm shook her to pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Remember,\u201d Natty said, easing out of her, \u201cyou promised.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Her body didn&#8217;t want to cooperate, wanted to turn into a puddle of orgasmic goo but she forced herself to keep thrusting, crying out each time the knot rubbed against her tender bud. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Just like&#8230; Don&#8217;t stop,\u201d Ashley moaned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Mindy gritted her teeth, felt another orgasm building up inside. There was no holding this one back, her body far too sensitive. She only hoped Ashley finished before she did because she didn&#8217;t think she had the will power to push through another climax. Each one had hit her harder, was more intense the one before it. This one would surely be the end of her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Oh, I&#8217;m so close,\u201d the redhead said, closing her eyes, \u201cso close&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\"><em>Me too<\/em>, Mindy thought, tension creeping into her body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Ashley cried out, her body jerking forward as she climaxed. Mindy was right behind her, her body shaking itself apart. She was trembling all over, her heart knocking around her breast like a crazed animal in a cage. Feeling fuzzy, she could only sit back on her haunches and smile. Dazed, she could only smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">That looked like fun,\u201d Erin said, laughing at her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">I can&#8217;t feel my toes,\u201d Mindy said, her voice almost slurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Laughing, Ashley said to Erin, \u201cI think that is a yes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">Shaking it off, Mindy grinned and said, \u201cIsn&#8217;t someone supposed to yell &#8216;cut&#8217;?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS\">The camera,\u201d Natty exclaimed, springing of the bed. She ran to it, still wearing the strap-on, a hilarious sight. Finding the stop button, she killed the recording.
