Episode 1 - A Secret Friendship

"Ughhh this sucks!" Sarah complained as she picked up a crumpled can and tossed it into a trash bag she was holding with her other hand.

"Aww come on Sarah, this is for the good of the environment!" Sophie chimed as she skipped by and bent over to pick up another piece of trash, promptly exposing her ass to the world as her white skirt that was much to short flapped up.

She stood up and turned around, her long blonde hair flowed in the wind and her green tank-top looked like it was going to burst at any minute. Sophie Spring was a stark contrast to Sarah Summer, who was wearing a black shirt with a skull on it, ripped jeans, and had black hair with streaks of purple.

"I guess..." Sarah grumbled, "I appreciate you doing this with me though, you really didn't need to."

"Of course! That's what friends are for!" Sophie beamed.

The two women were coworkers and baristas at the town's one and only coffee shop: Titi Milk Coffee Bar. They were currently doing mandatory Community Service for Pleaseville, the town they all lived in. So for the next four hours, they would be picking up trash in the Morningwood Forest near Pleaseville.

It all started when their boss Ralph asked Sarah and Sophie to blindfold themselves to taste test the salted cream that came in that morning. Sarah was already extremely suspicious, but not only did Ralph not do a good job of aiming and the warm cream splattered in her mouth but also on her face, he told her to clean the opening of the container since there was some cream still dripping from it. He made Sophie and Sarah take turns sucking and licking the container for a few minutes before Sarah guessed that Ralph was full of shit and probably just pranking them. She pulled off her blindfold and to her dismay, was face to face with Ralph's cock!

Ralph considered firing her on the spot and calling the cops, but Sophie, the ever cheerful one, came to Sarah's rescue. She visited Ralph's office and was able to convince him to lighten Sarah's punishment to Community Service, she even joined in to help her. Before this incident, the two didn't talk too much, mostly just Sarah ignoring Sophie's cheeriness. But after these events, Sarah realized that deep down Sophie was a kindhearted gal that was honestly too good for this town.

"So what did you say to convince Ralph to go easy on me?" Sarah asked.

"Hm? I didn't say much!" Sophie beamed, "I just asked Ralph to forgive you, and he agreed!"

"Really?" Sarah was amused, maybe Ralph was just a perverted creep with a heart, "But I felt like you spent a while in his office?"

"Ah yeah, he just made me prove to him how much I cared to help you out," Sophie giggled, "Don't worry, I wasn't blindfolded this time."

Sarah couldn't help but grin, Sophie could crack pretty clever jokes when she wanted. Knowing how gullible Sophie could be, Sarah was a bit worried that Ralph took advantage of that to make her do something else for him.

Sarah turned to the other two girls that were picking up trash with them, "So what did you guys do to end up here?'

The orange-haired girl wearing a white headband responded first. She was dressed in a teal tank-top and black shorts.

"I punched a creep that was groping my ass at the gym," she replied.

"Huh? Shouldn't the creep be here picking up trash then? Not that I want to share a forest with that guy..." Sarah said.

"I damage the wall when the creep flew into the wall from my punch," she added.

"Holy shit, you're strong girl! My name is Sophie and this is Sarah, what's your name?" Sophie said excitedly.

"Wendy, Wendy Winter," the athletic girl replied.

"Nice to meet you Wendy! What about you? What's your name and how did you end up here? You look too nice to get into trouble," Sophie teased the last girl.

The last girl wore large round glasses and had braided brown hair. She looked quite shy, and wore a brown coat with a green sweater, though those layers still couldn't hide her impressive rack. She also wore a brown plaid pencil skirt to complete the bookish academia look.

"Um, my name is Ashley Autumn... I-I actually volunteer for this all the time. It's important to keep our environment clean," the shy girl responded.

"Well well, a goody two shoes and from the looks of it a magimatical genius!" Sophie complimented her.

"D-did you mean mathematical?" Ashley asked.

Sarah couldn't help but feel a bit better as the four chatted while they cleaned the forest. She had always been a misfit growing up here in Pleaseville, but for the first time she felt a weird sense of camaraderie with these girls.

"Whose throwing so much junk out here!?" Sophie complained, getting upset at the forest's behalf.

"I'd imagine its the hunters and the rowdy drunks," Ashley replied, picking up an empty bottle of liquor.

They got deeper into the forest as they cleaned. They weren't allowed to return until they had a full bag of trash, which unfortunately for the current state forest wasn't too hard.

"Do we have to go so deep into the forest, what if we get lost?" Wendy asked, "I have a terrible sense of direction."

"A lot of people also like to go deep into the forest to party," Ashley explained, "We'll probably be able to finish up soon don't worry."

The four headed a bit deeper into the forest, not noticing a strange mist starting to build up...
