Another Plan Bites The Dust !

They had spent a boring day and a half at the camp site listening to the girls adolescent chatter about boy bands they had never heard of from Korea or somewhere. Carol had consulted again with Aditty, who had thought that it would be best if they simply discovered the lake on the first day and then, sometime in the afternoon, she would 'spontaneously' suggest skinny dipping in it. Aditty was clearly the alpha female among the students and knew they would follow her lead. "Don't you be too eager straight away, it might seem suspicious to Diane" she told Carol, who in turn informed Debbi.

So it was that after lunch, the company of students and chaperones were walking through the woods towards the lake. "Hey, how about skinny dipping in the lake ?" Aditty announced enthusiastically. The other girls laughed. "Well, at least it's a nice enough day" chuckled one, which was true. "Can you all swim ? Isn't it a bit risky ?" Carol objected as planned. "Of course we can all swim" answered Aditty. "And we haven't met anyone else in these woods since we've been here" she argued. "Where's your spirit of adventure ?" she added.

"Well, I don't mind but I know that's not Diane's kind of thing, she's far too stuffy. Maybe she'll wait for us and look after our clothes ?" remarked Debbi, taking up Aditty's idea that the best way to get Diane to take part would be to issue some kind of challenge. It seemed to work a treat. "There's no way I'm going to be your servant and miss out on all the fun" Diane declared. "Last one naked and in the lake's a sissy !" And with that she turned and sped off down the path towards the lake.

A couple of the girls continued to show ****, a ploy to make sure that Diane had enough time to immerse herself in the lake before Debbi and Carol would see that she was wearing a swimsuit under her clothes. Diane had only to shuck off her jeans and t-shirt and so by the time the others arrived, she was in the middle of the lake with just her head and bare shoulders visible. "Come on in, it's not that cold" she yelled. "Last one's a sissy !" she repeated.

Debbi and Carol were so euphoric over the success of their plan that, as they quickly stripped off, they did not notice that none of the girls seemed to be in a hurry to join them. It was a strangely liberating feeling anyway and they were soon scampering together down the jetty that jutted out into the lake, jumping off the end and into the water with a loud splash ! "God, it's freezing" cried Debbi, laughing at the shock. But it was exhilarating at the same time, to be frolicking about in nature with such total freedom. She had almost forgotten about the object of the exercise and so it was an unwelcome shock when, a few moments later, Carol let out an anguished cry !

"Look !" Debbi followed her pointing finger to where the figure of Diane was emerging from the lake. Wearing a black swimsuit. And being greeted by a dozen fully clothed students. Who were busy scooping up two bundles of clothes. That looked rather similar to those discarded by Debbi and Carol a few brief minutes ago. "Hey ! What're you doing ? Stop !" shouted Carol. "See you later ladies. Well, hopefully anyway" Aditty called back. "I think you can remember the way ?" And with that, the laughing group disappeared from view up the trail !
