Tomo noted with some satisfaction that the weather had become prefect practically overnight, almost forcing the reluctant ones to come. She stretched slowly and lay back against the main gate of the Yuubara Nudist Colony. Now, Tomo wasn't always the hyperactive moron she appeared to be at school. If anything, she was very introverted and pensive everywhere else. School was a place where she had gained a bad reputation, and was cursed to follow it. Absolutely none of her friends knew the real her. That thought made Tomo very sad. Maybe Yomi would grow to see her true self, if this worked. Her eyes closed as she lay in the warmth and waited for her friends to show up. Meanwhile, the others were steeling themselves up for what was to come. Yomi stood in front of a simple cloth tote bag, wondering what to put in it. "Well, we're already committed to this, thanks to Tomo. What the heck was Osaka thinking, bringing something like this up? All right. We'll go, but there is no way in Hell that I'm taking my clothes off. I'll just sit and relax, maybe read a book or two, and try not to stare at anyone." With a sigh of relief and finality, Yomi began packing her books. Chiyo-chan and Sakaki left from the same station on their way to Yuubara. There was a long silence in which both girls stood silently blushing at what was to come. "Miss Sakaki? I don't think this is such a good idea, but I still hope everybody has fun." Sakaki smiled and nodded, feeling her own blush go away. Within half an hour, every member of our little group had assembled at the main gate of Yuubara. Unfortunately for this story, Tomo had fallen asleep waiting for them. Yomi smacked at her with a harisen fan (don't ask how she got it!) until she woke up. "Dammit, wake up, Tomo! This whole nudist colony thing was your idea, wasn't it?!" "Huh? Wh-what? I wasn't sleepin'." Yomi sighed. "Honestly." "Shall we go in?" Wordlessly, the group moved forward up to the sign-in desk. There was an old man working there, who was thankfully fully clothed. Everyone's faces fell somewhat when he told them that they would need money to pay membership fees before they could enter. Dejected, the girls turned around and walked back out the gates in defeat. Yukari and Nyamo were out walking down the street from their local bar when they passed by the Yuubara gate and saw the girls coming out. "Hey there! Hello, girls!" Nyamo waved at them cheerily. She became worried when she saw their dejected faces. "What's wrong?" "Those jerks over at the nudist colony told us we need to pay to get in." Yukari, fortunately for this story, was stinking drunk at the time. "Aww, hell! Nyamo `n' I'll pay yer bills, s'long as we get ta go in with ya!" Nyamo flushed. "What?! Yukari!" Yukari thrashed about like a drowning fish. "C'mon, Nyamo! I ain't takin' no fer an answer!" Nyamo proved useless in stopping Yukari and soon their bills were paid. Everyone swallowed deeply as they entered the Family Changing Room.
