(Tease you) You see some skin, but not like you were hoping.

Time to move on. You wearily rise to your feet and turn to go.

You hear the girls moving around a bit behind your back.

"Hey Joe!" Tara said.

You look back around.

"This what you were hoping to see?"

Tara and Jennifer turn their backs to you and yank down their shorts. You see two very pretty moons looking you in the face -- Tara's tight golden buns and Jennifer's toned, long pink buttocks. Kath is looking away, Luna looks lost, and Firouzeh looks horrified.

"Out, out, out, all of you!" Mona yells. She glares with her hands on her hips.

You give Mona an apologetic look. She jerks her chin toward the exit.

You quickly march out of El Gringo Loco and head toward your car. You get in, crank the window down, and sit there for a few minutes to collect yourself before heading home. Your chest still throbs from Karen Yoshida's kick. At least you didn't have to explain the bruise. You can see a few women still sunning themselves on the beach as the sun heads for the horizon. The pleasant landscape of curves cheers you up. Maybe that's the note to leave on.

As you're about to put your key in the ignition, you hear raised voices from across the parking lot. Kath and Luna seem to be arguing with Tara and Jennifer. Well, mostly it's Kath and Tara arguing, with Jennifer and Luna tossing in a word now and then. Firouzeh is standing to one side, mostly looking like she just wants to go home.

You wonder if it's just asking for trouble to hang around, or even to offer one of them a ride home.
