Mai and Ty Lee go for a walk.

It was quite some time later when two very wet, bedraggled, naked girls emerged from the forest onto the road. Mai was smeared with mud to the hips. Ty Lee had leaves tangled in her hair. They looked right, at the back of some merchants heading toward the town, and left, at a very startled farmer leading a train of oxen. Behind him was a man with a wagon piled high with cabbages, who jumped at the sight of the nude women and tumbled backward into a ditch.

Mai let out a startled shriek and ducked back quickly into a bush. Ty Lee grit her teeth, clasped one hand very tightly to her round breasts and the other over the bush between her legs, and took a step out into the road. Her bare bottom flexed pleasantly as she took a second step, drawing the attention of all the people behind her. There was absolutely nothing she could do to cover it up.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm walking back to town. Remember, we have to be there before nightfall."

"But we can't!"

"Why not?"

"We're... we're naked!"

"I think that's the idea."

"But she can't make us walk all the way back to town naked! That's so... so..."

"Azula?"

"I was going to say mean. But I guess it's very Azula."

"What do you think she'll do if we're not back by nightfall?"

There was a long pause, and then a rustle as Mai **** herself to step very slowly out from behind the bush. She looked down the road at all the farmers and merchants and peasants heading away from her, and up the road at all the ones heading towards her, and gulped. Quite a lot of them were looking back at her. Nobody was taking it on themselves to offer her any clothes, though.

"Do we have to?" she said, in a very small voice.

"The quicker you start, the quicker it'll be over." Ty Lee began to jog toward the town, concentrating on the road in front of her, trying not to pay attention to all the people gawking at her. Mai, not wanting to be left behind, scurried to keep up. Her breasts didn't bounce as much as Ty Lee's, but she still had to clasp them tightly to keep them from leaping all over the place as she trotted along.

Despite herself, her eyes were drawn to Ty Lee's jiggling buttocks. The other girl was so exposed! And she was just as bare! People working in the rice paddies next to the road were pointing at them and laughing. She could feel heat flooding into her face, a rosy blush blazing in her cheeks as the scenery rolled by. She was normally so good at keeping all her emotions to herself, but now they were showing on her face plain as day. Everyone could see exactly how embarrassed she was. And, even worse, she was being humiliated like this in front of a bunch of filthy commoners. It wasn't fair! Azula was just so mean!

She was so distracted by her thoughts that she didn't notice the tree root sticking out of the dirt in front of her. She tripped over, stumbled forward and crashed into Ty Lee, sending the two of them careening into a deep sticky mud puddle by the side of the road. The pair of them emerged, muddy and furious, to a chorus of laughter and applause from the watching peasants. Mai scowled and spat out mud.

"How much more of this do we have to take?" she muttered.

"Only... uh... another hour or so." Ty Lee, her face glowing with shame, doing her best to **** a smile as everyone giggled at her predicament, was already climbing back to her feet. "Come on! We have to beat the sunset!"

"Sometimes I really don't like Azula."

"Whatever you do, don't let her know that."
