Twister

While mom went off to prepare whatever came next, I went back to my corner, trying to minimize my visibility as best as I could - Barb and Lucy helped by standing on either side of me, obstructing the view. Though I couldn't help but notice how Lucy seemed to ogle me herself, whenever she thought I wasn't looking. She had been very distracted by my body to begin with. What was up with that?

I had no time to contemplate this, as mom came back, bearing the brightly colored mat that spelled my doom. Twister was next on the list, on my own list! Mom could have easily changed the games to ones that would serve her questionable purposes, but by sticking to my own instructions, it was even harder for me to object. Also, why change the games, if they are perfectly fitting for increased exposure anyway?

The mat got placed at the edge of the room, and people began cheering as they noticed it - some surely because they genuinely liked Twister, like myself, but others must have realized what this game meant for the hands I used to cover my naked body. Mom turned to the crowd, did a quick count of everyone, and smiled.

"This is perfect! Sixteen players, so we divide everyone into groups of four, and play until one is left. The winners of each group then face off against each other to determine the final winner!"

I was about to try to excuse myself from the game, but now there was no chance anyone was going to accept that. It would make the number of players uneven. There was only one thing I could try, even though I already knew it would be futile...

"...mom, please... they'll see *everything* if you don't at least give me panties to wear... or a loincloth, or pasties, or something!"

But of course, she was having none of it. She just patted my head, told me that every centimeter of my body was beautiful, and that all the guests will be enchanted by my beauty. Yes indeed, how happy I was to show everyone my private parts! Definitely a totally normal thing that every eighteen-year-old girl does on her birthday. Ugh!

"You know, Alice, maybe it's better if you just drop out right at the start. Then you won't have to uncover at all!", Barb advised. Not a bad idea, but I had already considered it.

"Have you already forgotten what happened just now? I had to endure the winner's reward AND the loser's punishment." My friend took another look at the signature's that adorned my body, but then raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, 'endure the reward'? He just got some random key."

I looked out for listeners, and then leaned in closely, whispering: "That key is for my room! My mom locked it, and if he keeps that key, I can't get dressed at all, even when all of this is over!"

"O-oh..." Her playful attitude from earlier vanished. Being kept naked beyond this party was a little more severe than some innocent butt-signing.

"See, if that's how it get's started, the rest will be even worse, I guarantee it! So I better do my best to win, and let them ogle me, if I can dodge two humiliations in the process..."

"Maybe we can help you stay at least a little covered during the game."

We both turned our heads to Lucy - and she shared the ideas that she had come up with.

Five minutes later, everything was set-up, and the teams were decided. Of course, the birthday girl would go first, and she could choose one opponent - Barb, who would during the game do her best to assist me with winning and with covering my body. If luck was on our side, Lucy would later make it to the final round and do the same thing, but for now she was standing near to the mat, so she could try to shield my behind from any stares. This was made easier by the fact that I had secured the side of the mat that pointed to the wall as her starting point.

The other two participants of the first round were the boy who had brazenly hugged her earlier, Benny, and a guy with short, spiked up hair, Tim. Somehow, he pulled that hairstyle off.

While I was a little worried about what shenanigans Benny would be up to - his previous behavior indicated no fear of initiating physical contact -, I was fairly confident that we could pull this off. Keeping my nether regions covered for the most part, winning this game, and avoiding whatever super embarrassing thing my mother had planned for me.
