Emily Gets a Lift

Emily waddled as fast as her cuffed ankles would allow her (which wasn't very) and tried her best to keep her voluptuous chest hidden from view with her cuffed hands (with only moderate success) as she tried find a decent hiding place in the positively crowded fairground. Luckily, she had friends flanking her on all sides to slightly help shield her naked body from view. Well, actually she was only flanked on three of her sides, since Melody had accompanied Carl back to grab his tools. So, with Sophie, Vanessa, and Susan flanking her front, left, and right respectively, Emily's cute round rear was noticeably unguarded (a fact which most nearby fairgoers were beginning to pick up on). She was just about to ask the girls if they might shift positions slightly when Sophie shouted above the noise of the crowd.

"Oh! Over there!" she cried, pointing to a ride that seemed to not be in operation. Its queue was completely empty and almost all of its lights were off. Plus, there were no employees in sight manning it.

The four girls broke away from the crowd, leading to a few extra whistles aimed at Emily's derriere for good measure. Then, they were out of the heavily lit main thoroughfare and soon standing in the dimly lit entryway for the ride. It appeared to be a chairlift of some sort, with thick cables stretching up and away into the distance, far above the fairground.

It took a group effort to hoist Emily's bound body over the (admittedly quite low) locked gate, but the girls managed (though Emily would have preferred if Vanessa had tried to support the weight of her torso by grabbing her someplace other than her breasts).

"There we are," Susan said as Emily was able to sit on the lowest hanging suspended chair. "Nice and tucked away!"

And, Emily had to admit, she was right. The cover of darkness and distance from the crowd helped the most, but sitting in the chair unit, with its fully covered back, Emily finally felt out of sight from the world. The cold hard plastic of the seat felt... well not comfortable, but not completely uncomfortable either. Emily wiggled her hips slightly as she finally let herself relax just a little bit.

"Thank you all," she said with a weary sigh. "I don't know how I would've managed to go through all of this without you."

The girls shared a brief look with each other before responding.

"Of course!" Vanessa said cheerily.

"Don't be silly!" Sophie chastised.

"It's the least we can do!" Susan chimed in.

"Susan and I will keep a lookout for when Melody and Carl get back," Sophie said as she and the brunette headed back to the locked gate. "Vanessa, why don't you stay and keep Emily company?"

"Sure thing," she smoothly said as she slid into the space on the chair next to Emily. "As long as you don't mind, of course," she added.

"No, not at all!" Emily said, glad to not be left completely alone. Still, after having been ogled by so many people all day long in so many various states of undress, she was starting to yearn for just a bit of privacy. But that could wait until everything was solved, surely. All she needed was for Carl to undo her two sets of cuffs, then Emily could don the clothes her friends had so kindly found for her. That thought, coupled with the feeling of Vanessa's clothes brushing up against her own bare skin, reminded Emily that she truly was sitting there without a stitch on.

"Um," the curvy nude girl said, "Do you think you could grab that shirt and shorts for me, Vanessa? I know I can't exactly put them on right now, but having them in my lap is better than nothing."

"Oh, Emily," Vanessa said softly, her fingers gently tracing along her pale thigh. Emily thought she said it as if it was the beginning of a denial, as if she was about to try to talk her out of asking for what few scant clothes she had available. Emily gulped nervously, genuinely not sure what she would say if Vanessa simply refused her request. But then, Vanessa gave a soft chuckle and said with a smile, "Of course. Anything for you!"

With that, Vanessa popped up and strolled over to the other two girls at the gate, presumably where the clothes had been left. Emily let out an anxious breath that she didn't realize she'd been holding. Thanks to her friends, everything would soon work itself out. As long as Emily stuck with them, she knew that she could get through anything, no matter how embarrassing.

Suddenly, a set of blinding lights switched on, causing Emily to yelp and cover her eyes in surprise. A moment later, the suspended double-wide compartment she'd been sitting in lurched into motion, sending the safety bar swinging shut in front of the naked woman with a solid sounding CLINK! The chairlift cable was moving!

"Emily!" she heard Vanessa shout from behind her somewhere, but the chair's back prevented her from seeing her.

"What's happening?" Emily cried as she tried to unlatch the safety bar, with no luck. The chairlift was picking up speed at a surprising pace. Looking below her, Emily noticed she was already several feet off the ground, and ascending rapidly! And with the bar locked in place, she had no chance of slipping free from the ride. "HELP ME!" Emily cried out.

"We'll follow you!" Sophie called. "Just hang in there, Emily!"

Against her will, Emily climbed higher and higher, until she was over 50 feet in the air! The din of the fairground died down slightly, and before she knew it, Emily was alone in the summer night. The steady flow of the cool night air was the only thing to cover her bare skin. The empty hanging chairs moving in the opposite direction were her only company. Emily finally had a bit of privacy... but the transport ride was shuttling her to the other side of the fairground.
