Melissa is losing her dress!

"So...." Thomas said. "I don't really think it'd be fair for me to go naked..."

"I dunno, maybe-" Melissa started but Jill interrupted.

"No, idiot, this is easy!" Jill said. "Melissa's wearing a shirt over her dress. You need to leave it behind."

"No way" Melissa shrieked. "You don't want me walking around in just this t-shirt, do you?"

Thomas and Jill were both silent, and neither could fully hide their grins.

"No fucking way," Melissa said again. "I won't do it."

"Come on, Mel," Thomas said, trying to sound soothing. "I'm sure that at the top of that ladder is the exit. We'll get out of here and demand our clothes back."

"And anyway, that shirt is big enough to hide everything; you'll be fine!"

"Easy for you to say," Melissa spat back. "You're perfectly covered!"

"It does make sense, Mel," Thomas said again. "Jill can't really take off her shirt or shorts; she doesn't have underwear."

Melissa growled but didn't argue.

"FUCK!" she shouted at no one in particular. "FINE!" Like a girl scout pro, she angrily pulled her arms into the shirt, slid out of her broken sundress, and pulled it down her legs. Melissa stood up, clearly embarrassed to have even less clothing separating her from the elements.

Melissa threw her shirt over the head of one of the gargoyles. The ladder shot out of reach but, as expected, came back to the ground when no more motion could be detected. Thomas waved his hand in front of the blinded sensor. "Thanks, Mel! Good job!"

"Whatever," she said, her legs crossed in front of her.

"After you, Tommy," Jill said, motioning to the ladder. Thomas knew he shouldn't have hoped that Melissa would climb up ahead of him, but still nursed a twinge of disappointment. He didn't show it, though.

"See you guys up there!" Thomas said and quickly scaled the ladder.

As the two girls were climbing up behind him, Thomas looked ahead. What faced them at the top of this wall shocked him and ("Not gonna lie," he thought) made him quiver with anticipation.

Jill clambered up after Thomas and stood next to him with her mouth hanging open. When Melissa finally made it to the top (miraculously unwatched by her friends as she swung her bare legs over the ledge), she joined the other two and stared in shock.

"You have got to be kidding me," she moaned.
