Catch up and let her know quitely

David didn't want to cause a scene. His best friend was clad in nothing but an ill-fitting dress with no bra and now no panties!

He speedwalked his way through the entrance of the Arbor Walk, a section of the botanical gardens that was basically a nature trail populated by “over 100 species of tree!”

Thrilling. Thank you random sign.

But when David removed his gaze from the sign and looked ahead… Laylah was gone!

Panic began to set in and David ran full tilt into the heavily-varied forest. Head on a swivel he looked between tree after tree but his friend seemed to have vanished! This was bad, the chances that Laylah actually realized her panties fell off were next to nada and now she was frolicing about in the woods, commando! If even one little branch were to snag onto that dress it'd rip off and his best friend would be utterly, completely-

“BOO!”

“AHH!” David yelped at a pitch he was not proud of and fell backwards.

Laylah laughed like a witch from behind a douglas fir.

“Ahahahaha! I can't believe I got you!” She chuckled. David blushed and immediately got up and brushed off his backside.

“Laylah, quit goofin around, you need to know somethin-” she was gone again.

“Oh come on!”

“where am iiiiiiiiii?” She said in a stupid spooky voice from the trees.

“In crazy town clearly.” David said, grumpily. He clutched the panties in his hand tighter as he looked around for his now suddenly-mischievous friend.

“This is no time for bullshit, Laylah, I got something important you need to see!”

“Oh do you now?” a voice from above said.

David looked up and in a tree about 20 feet away, sat Laylah on a branch, about 10 feet off the ground. Fortunately, she had her legs together, for now, and David quickly ran up to the tree.

“I do!” he whispered loudly.

“Well, what is it?” Laylah giggled, oblivious to the fact her bare ass was parked on the soft bark of a beech tree.

“Look!” was all he said as he held the red panties up in both hands for her to see clearly.

“Uuuhhh, David, that’s a little weird man, why do you got those?” Laylah said, genuinely confused.

“They’re YOURS, Laylah! They fell off you and I’ve been trying to get them back to you!” David hissed.

“What? How the hell could they… be…” she shifted back and forth a little and a look of embarrassed realization hit her face. She winced, “y’know, I thought this branch felt a little funny...” Laylah admitted, her face turning red. “Um… okay… so uh… how we… wanna do this?” Laylah finally asked.

“Climb down!” David demanded.

“No! You’ll see up my dress!”

“Laylah, seriously? I’ll look away!”

“Ah-ah, no way. Seeing my boobs is one thing, but seeing whats down there is entirely different!” She retorted, “I’m not risking it. You, Dave, shoo! Go over there! Behind that tree! The big one!” she said as she pointed to a particularly thick oak.

Dave rolled his eyes and said “Okay, okay.” as he stomped over to the oak.

He heard the rustling of branches and Laylah grunting as she climbed down. “If I see one hair on your head peak out from behind that oa-ooOOOAAAAAHK!”

RRRRRRIP!

The sound of tearing made David’s blood run cold.

The silence that followed was deafening, but finally...

“...Dave?”

“... yeah?”

“I… ripped it.”

“Ripped…. What?”
