Back at the beginning

Luna arrived to the restaurant, and the same lady from before came to get her order.

"Hey ! Nice new dress !" She told her joyfully. "Do you have fun ?"

Luna looked down, and answered. "Thanks, I'm having some fun, yes."

"Just some ? That needs to be corrected ! Here, take this !" The blond woman said, giving a small cardboard box to Luna.

Luna opened it and saw chocolate candies.

"I don't get it, is it supposed to get me more fun ?" She asked, puzzled.

"If you don't at least you'll have something good to fill your sweet tooth." The woman told her with a big, gentle smile. "So, what can I serve you ?"

Luna knew exactly what she wanted, it was that drink she had a little bit more than two hours earlier. "I'll take a latex, love, please."

"A latex love it is !" Answered the woman joyfully.

"Here you go," the saleswoman offered, handing Luna the to-go cup. "Oh," she realized, noticing that she was already quite loaded with the box and the bag of sweets. "Do you happen to have a bag for me?" she asked the saleswoman.

"Uh, no, I don't have one anymore," the saleswoman shook her head. "The park is aware of its responsibility and is therefore trying to minimize single-use waste."

"That's great," Luna agreed, placing the box and the bag of sweets on the counter. "Maybe I still have some space in the box," she suggested aloud.

Curiously, the saleswoman looked at the box. "Oh hey, did you win something at one of the stalls?" she asked Luna.

"It's more of a consolation prize, but yes," Luna said, presenting her winnings.

"Boch chic latex gloves" praised the saleswoman when she saw the contents and Luna had to say strangely. "But I don't understand why you haven't put them on yet"

"I don't know if I look at her like that, I don't understand it either" Luna admitted and looked longingly at the pair of gloves.

"I have a deal" suggested the saleswoman "You put on gloves, the box stays with me and in return you get a double latex love from me. In the end, it's a win-win-win situation for you"

After a brief hesitation, Luna agreed. "Okay, but I think I'll need some help," she confessed to the saleswoman. "Hey, that's what we're here for," the saleswoman replied casually.

Luna grabbed the latex gloves, causing a gentle tingling to run through her body. It was cold but quickly took on her skin temperature. "Let's do it," she spoke more to herself than to the employee as she slipped on the gloves. Luckily, they seemed to slide smoothly over her fingers. "Wait, I'll help you with the zipper" came from her support and the plump woman closed the zipper.

The latex tightly encircled her wrists and reached up to her upper arms.

The tingling in her got stronger and she already loved the feeling.

"You look great," the employee praised Luna's new look.

"Right" she could only agree and looked at her new gloves. "Wait, where's the zipper?" she asked in shock.

"Oh, that stupid metal thing? These gloves are supposed to give the wearer the feel of latex and not that of an annoying zipper. I mean, can you find a zipper on one of the girls clothes out there? That would be really annoying."

"Yes," Luna agreed after a short pause. However, she wasn't entirely sure what that would entail for her. After all, the latex gloves tightly enclosed her arms and extended up to her upper arms.

"Ah, this is the challenge for future Luna," she thought to herself as the bartender prepared a new drink. "Here you go," she offered Luna a new cup. "One double latex love."

"You're welcome!" Luna thanked, grabbing the bag of sweets and the cup with her latex-covered hands. "What are you going to do with the drink?" she asked the employee, gesturing towards her original cup.

She shrugged, "I think I'll just drink it myself. It doesn't really matter to waste. I'm curious to know how it tastes."

"Oh, you're going to love it," Luna grinned at the employee and left the restaurant.

A few minutes later, she had her drink and was sucking the straw while walking back to Flora.
