"Yes, it's a punishment, I lost a bet."

"Ooo that must have been quite a bet!"

"Yeah... sure wish I didn't lose."

They laughed with her. It seemed to be going well. Then, the girl had a worrying thought.

"I guess we are kinda ruining the punishment, huh?"

"Oh no, not at all!" Julie tried to reassure.

"Ah right. Now it isn't really a streak." The driver agreed.

"No really, it's alright! The punishment is just... uh... for me to get back naked." Julie stammered.

The others laughed. Julie's **** stumbling over her words made them think she was lying about the extent of her punishment.

"Yeah right! Of course you would say that. I am sure whoever made that bet with you wouldn't want you to cheat out of the punishment."

Their mind had been made up. They started teasing her more. She felt like she could melt into the seat out of embarrassment.

"You almost got us." One smiled. "Almost made us complicit."

"Okay okay, just let me out and I'll run the rest of the way."

"Nuh uh. We'll make sure you get a full and proper punishment."

No matter how she pleaded, they kept driving right past her hostel and down to the nearby beach. Julie was frightened to see just how busy it was. There was some sort of beach party or festival going on or something, because it was crowded with partygoers. There were drink stands and all the shops on the boulevard were still open. They parked the car at the far end. Julie felt paralyzed.

"Okay, now you can continue your streak! A bit more interesting, right?"

"I'm sorry for trying to skip out! Please just bring me back. A lot of people have seen me already, I promise." Julie begged.

"That may have been your original punishme but your sentence gets more severe for trying to weasel out of it. Everyone knows the rules."

"No really, we don't have that rule!"

"Nice try, out you go!"

If she ran like they wanted her too, right through the beach party crowd, a ton of people would see her. She could just turn and run the other way, but they might see that as another "cheat"...
