Interrupted by a couple of onlookers.

“Hey Y’all! Already having a wild time on the island I see!” a voice called out from behind them.

Shocked, Hitomi and Lei Fang instinctively covered their modesty before turning to see Tina Armstrong, American wrestler standing behind them. She stood proudly in her light blue jean shorts and a red and white halter top that reached no lower than her navel. Lei Fang gritted her teeth at being caught in this compromising position in front of her rival. She hissed between her teeth, “We were just having a swim.”

“I’m sure you were, darlin’” Tina said with a wink as she approached the two to get a closer look at their ensemble. Her eyebrow went up when she caught a glimpse of their backsides. “Did you two get into a scuffle?” she asked, curiously..

“Goodness, your outfits are a total mess!” Helena observed, coming down the same path that Tina had arrived from. She was, like Tina, a tall blonde, but carried herself with more poise than the American girl. In contrast to Tina’s southern country demeanor, Helena posed a more aristocratic aura in keeping with her dignified upbringing. She would, of course, be quick to pick up on their present appearance at first glance.

“A shark tried to eat it,” Hitomi explained timidly.

“Heavens almighty! You got attacked by a shark?!” Tina said, impressed and alarmed at the same time.

The two disheveled girls shrugged and Hitomi said, “... kinda, yeah.”

“That must have been some experience! Are you two alright?” Tina asked with concern in her eyes.

Lei Fang pouted, not liking the doting from her rival. “We’re fine,” she said plainly.

“Well, of course y’are!” Tina replied with conviction. She slapped each girl on the back. “Not even a shark can rattle two tough gals like you! Hahaha!” she boasted confidently. Lei Fang narrowed her eyes, not taking kindly to being judged by Tina, even if it was complimentary. “Still…” the muscled blonde added, looking the two over, “Y’all might want to find yourselves something new to wear… unless yer inta the whole exhibitionist thang! Haha!”

Lei Fang and Hitomi went red in the cheeks as the wrestler indirectly chided them for their current state of dress. They clutched their rags tighter and grimaced, having no words to save them from the embarrassment.

“You two should head to the shops before they close. You’ll be able to purchase a new outfit there,” Helena suggested. She was wearing a glossy silver one piece adorned with a sheer, lacy white sarong and heels. On her head was a matching, large brimmed beach hat and a pari of slim sunglasses to shade her from the sun. Her classy appearance only accentuated the two girls’ poor wardrobe.

“Or, how about we play you two for your clothes?” Lei Fang suggested, more out of spite than it being a good idea.

Tina raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Is that a Challenge, Lei Fang?” She grinned at the prospect of a competition. She straightened up and puffed out her chest. “We may be no sharks, but I think we can handle the likes of you in a test of strength!”

“Oh come now,” Tsked Helena, “I’m hardly going to wager my garments for a simple contest!” She gracefully waved her hands over herself to accentuate the point. “Besides, what’s even in it for us if we win?”

Lei Fang thought for a moment, “Well, if you guys win we’ll have to do whatever you want, but if we win, we get your clothes!” The idea seemed to sound better and better in her head as the others began to contemplate about the proposal.

“Hmm…” Tina thought as she looked over the two. She turned to her partner, “Anything, huh?”

Helena rubbed her chin for a moment and added, “Zack did fail to provide me with a personal assistant for my stay on the island…”

“Assistant?!” Hitomi lamented. She turned to Lei Fang and pleaded, clutching her by her still whole top. “I don’t want to have to serve Helena and Tina all vacation! It’s not worth it, Lei Fang, let’s just head to the shop!”

“I can assure you that my outfit alone could pay the yearly wage of a servant!” Helena boasted, taking Hitomi’s evaluation as literal.

“How about servant for a day then?” Tina offered. “If we beat you, you gotta do whatever we say for 24 hours!!”

“You’re on!” Lei Fang hotly agreed, despite Hitomi’s protests.

Tina grinned and said to Lei Fang, “Alright! You’re on!” She lifted her fists and assumed a fight stance.

“Hold on, Tina! You do recall that Zack’s invitation is only valid should we refrain from physical ****, no?” Helena interceded.

Tina frowned and dropped her shoulders with a sigh. “Ah, that’s right… fine. What’s it going to be? Volleyball? Seadoo race? Capture the flag?”

Lei Fang turned to Hitomi. “What do you think?” she asked her friend.

Hitomi looked back to Lei Fang with worry, “I think this is crazy! We just got here and we haven’t even practiced a game! We’ll lose for sure!”

“With that attitude, we will!” Lei Fang remarked. “Come on. We can take Tina and Helena! You just gotta believe in yourself!”

Hitomi grimaced as she thought over her options. She could just pass this whole thing up and head to the store like Helena suggested, but that might upset Lei Fang. She at least got some practice with the jet skis, but Lei Fang hadn’t and didn’t seem keen on getting on one of them. Then there was beach volleyball, or one of the other games they could play.
