Finding new clothes

Robin stumbled back to the wall, and slid down it, her bare back dragging down the surface until her ass hit the ground. She was wide-eyed, bright red, staring in disbelief at the bared legs she was hugging to her chest. She was almost too distracted to look over to where the equally nude Nancy was resting by the door.

It was a moment before Nancy realised how much she was showing off her butt, and turned around, whimpering. Whatever confidence she'd briefly had before had been shattered by the reappearance of the monster.

She kept her back against the door, making extra sure no one could peek in. It was a minute before Robin cleared her throat and broke the silence.

"Er. So, we keep spare uniforms on the premises," Robin said.

"You what?!" Nancy yelped. "Why couldn't you say that sooner?! Where are they?"

"I was having fun!" Robin said. She blushed. "Besides, apparently that thing would just have eaten them anyway. But now, um..."

"Now you want to get dressed," Nancy said.

"Yeah," Robin admitted. "And there's the other problem. They're in a cupboard behind the counter. Out there."

Nancy opened her mouth to say something, before realising what Robin had said. She hesitated, and looked back, chin brushing her bare shoulder as she looked at the door behind her. So close to it, she could hear the muffled noise of all the patrons. All the people out there.

She bit her lip. Then looked back across the room, to where the portal had been, and to where Robin was blushing.

Even if her worst fears were right, and the monster would just devour anything she tried to put on, they didn't know for sure whether the same would be the case for Robin. And either way, she longed to actually be dressed in something beyond just her arms again.

"What is that thing, anyway?" Robin said.

"I don't... know exactly," Nancy said. "The boys call it a Demogorgon, only it's... not, really. There was a whole thing a while ago, another world near ours they called the Upside Down with a monster just like that, only it killed people."

"It's not going to..."

"No, no!" Nancy said. "At least, I don't think so. It hasn't yet. It comes from somewhere... similar, but not the same. It looked like it, but it was different enough that it couldn't be the same place."

"You've been there?" Robin said.

Nancy flushed. "It's where I first ended up naked. It followed me back. Keeps following, and..."

Her cheeks got warmer the more she remembered. Eventually, Nancy swallowed and knelt up, shuffling. She couldn't just sit there.

"Where are the clothes?" Nancy said.

"Rightmost cupboard," Robin said. "At the bottom. You're going to..."

"I have to," Nancy said, reluctantly.

She stayed on her hands and knees, reaching up to loosen the door. At first she only moved it ajar, poking her head out, making sure no one else had come behind the counter yet. After a few seconds, she pushed the door wider.

She crawled out, shaking, slinking as low as she could. Her boobs brushed her elbow with each slow, silent crawl-step; she hurried close to the counter, wincing as the door thudded shut behind her. The right, Robin had said...

The sound of voices made her blush even more. They were so close. Dozens of strangers, who had only to peer over the counter to be greeted with the sight of her bare butt. Nancy bit her lip and tried very hard to keep from crying. They couldn't hear her!

She reached the cupboard, and breathed a sigh of relief. Keeping low, she opened it, and her relief was quickly replaced by dismay.

It was hardly well-stocked. There was only a small handful of indistinct, ratty parts of the Scoops Ahoy sailor-themed uniform. Technically it would be more decent, and it was definitely preferrable to going nude, but she'd still wanted more.

Still, she grabbed it and hugged it to her chest with one arm, and used the other to carefully navigate back. She glanced up at each raised voice, paranoid that someone, anyone, would look down and see her.

And then she reached the door. She looked up, realizing that she'd have to reach up to the handle, which was definitely above the level of the counter. Nancy whimpered, but seeing no other way, and dreading the action all the while, she rocked back onto her knees and reached up with a slender, shaking arm.

She grabbed the handle. it took a second for her to get enough **** to open it, from her awkward angle, but it was enough time for her to hear a 'is someone down there?'

She didn't look back, tears in her eyes as she crawled as quickly as she could around the open door, ass up in the air for whatever strangers had looked in time.

The door shut firmly behind her. She was still catching her breath by the time Robin drew close.

"Well done," Robin said. She made an expression of distaste at the poor quality of the outfits. "Could be better. Still, I guess..."

She pulled out a skirt and top, not dissimilar to the ones she'd already had on. After a moment, she shrugged and grabbed the knee-high socks that were part of the uniform too.

While she hastily dressed, Nancy turned over what she had left. And her eyes widened. She had... a shirt. Great. Oh, no, that wasn't entirely accurate. She had a navy blue shirt, probably meant for a man, and a crummy red necktie. Not even a spare skirt or pair of shorts.

Still, she reached for it...

"No!" Robin said quickly.

Nancy looked up sharply.

"I just want to get dressed," Nancy whimpered. "Why shouldn't I?"

"Er, I'm asking nicely?" Robin tried.

Despite herself, Nancy chuckled. Robin was... not exactly an unpleasant person to be stuck like this with, her flirtation could alternate between flattering and a comforting distraction.

"Oh! And we know the monster comes for you," Robin said. She adjusted her top, leaving her in the white and blue striped top, the above-knee blue skirt, and the knee-high white socks. "If you put it on, you'll just bring it here and we'll be in the same boat. Sailor pun and all. Save it for when your friends get back. They're going to fight the thing, right?"

"I hope so," Nancy said.

Damn it, Robin had a point. Nervously, Nancy pushed the shirt aside and resumed hugging her legs to her chest.

"Any word on how long?" Robin said.

"No idea," Nancy said.

There was a pause. Nancy swallowed. Having even a shirt wasn't as comforting as it should be if she couldn't even put it on.

"Am I pushing my luck if I suggest ways to fill that time?" Robin said.

Nancy rolled her eyes, cheeks pink.

Before she could answer though, there was a crackle as once again the white portal appeared in the middle of the room. Robin yelped, stumbling back; Nancy scrambled to her feet, forgetting about covering as the eyeless Demogorgon turned.

Not again! Nancy glanced down at herself, scared; she was still naked! Which meant...

It turned, once more, to face Robin. Robin's eyes went very wide.

"Oh no! Not again! No way!" Robin said.

Apparently they were both trapped being stripped for so long as the monster lived.
