The skinny dippers run into Corinne and Terri.

Marigold, Kiona and Tessa's splash war was a battle for the ages, and it led them further out to sea. Before they knew it, they'd swum right up to Terri. For some reason, she was missing her goggles and her yellow sports top had been pulled up around her neck.

"Hey, you!" Kiona called out. She gave a cheerful wave. "We finally found our Tracer! Get into any adventures while you were lost in time?"

"H-hey, Kiki!" Terri stuttered breathlessly. She was visibly struggling to keep her head above water. "S-sort of! Oh, bugger!"

"Oh, bugger?" Tessa giggled. "You're even worse with your slang than I am. Say... have you seen Corinne anywhere?"

"She was j-just right here..." Terri gasped. "Oh, God. Right there!"

Tessa and Kiona shared a grin.

Marigold blinked. "Huh?"

Without warning, Terri let out a screaming cry of passion. Her eyes squeezed shut and her head fell below the water as she let herself go.

"Hey girls, should we help her?" Marigold pointed at where Terri had been a moment ago. "She sounded like she was dying!"

"Oh, you poor sweet child," Tessa giggled. "You are just too precious."

A pair of orange fox ears rose above the water like a submarine surfacing. Corinne face came next, wearing Terri's pair of goggles and a satisfied smile.

"Salty, yet sweet!" Corinne said, smacking her lips. "Oh, hey Tess. How you doin'?"

"Just amazed at how quick you can go from giving zero fucks to getting all the fucking," Tessa said.

Terri popped above the surface again, flushed and radiant. She hugged the foxy lady and leaned on her for support.

Marigold let out a small oooooooooh as the realization finally hit her. Kiona's mouth turned up in a small smile; her friend was finally learning.

"Well, look at who we have here!" Corinne said. She didn't seem to even notice the skinny Tracer wrapped around her neck. "Lady Warrior and Lil' Lamb!"

"Hey to you, too, LoveBug," Kiona said. "You're not going to believe what happened."

"Saki and Bunny Hapa made up and went skinny dipping with the crew?" Corinne asked, completely straight.

"...Yeah," Kiona said, amazed. "How'd you know?"

"Lucky guess," Corinne smiled. "Nice piercings, by the way. Not often I feel over-dressed!"

Corinne let Terri untangle herself from around her neck, then disappeared underwater. A second later she popped up, holding a pair of white bottoms with blue lining around the edges. She twirled them on one finger like a cowgirl.

"Wait..." Mari blinked, then held her arms to her chest underwater. "You've got goggles! No fair! No peeking!"

"Awww, she's embarrassed! How cute!" Corinne giggled. "It's not like these are X-ray goggles, cutie. But if you insist..."

Corinne took off her goggles and pulled the rubber strap back like a slingshot, then launched them towards shore. Terri watched another part of her cosplay disappear. Somehow she didn't care.

"There we go!" Corinne said. "And just so Lil' Lamb feels better about me gettin' a peek at her goods..."

The fox-eared girl took her bikini bottoms and pulled them over her head like a hat. Her prop orange fox ears poked through the leg holes, and the white bottoms covered her whole face. She laughed and pointed at where she thought Marigold was.

"There! Now I can't see your big ol' beanbags!"

"Oh, Corinne," Tessa laughed. "You never change, do you?"

"Change is for people who aren't me," Corinne said. She put a hand to her chin in thought. "Now... how am I gonna figure out who's where?"

Kiona and Tessa exchanged another glance. It didn't need to be said what was coming next.
