I'll tell mine if you'll tell yours...

"Care to tell us how you happen to know?" Jo asked.

Anita looked down, then up at the circle of tipsy girls staring at her. "Well, eh, that's sort of personal. But I'll explain if each of you is willing to share something too."

The redhead twins laughed. "We share everything," Sam said. She tugged on Erica's earlobe.

Erica slapped Samantha's hand. "Stop it, Sam!" she said. "OK, Anita, I think we can share one or two personal things. Just among us girls." Sam nodded in agreement.

Allison and Jo quickly agreed.

"All right, I s'pose." Cathy said. Her eyes looked up to the ceiling as she tried to think of something to tell the girls.

"I think so," said Suki. She looked round the room. "Yes."

"All right, then," said Anita. "I know it doesn't hurt that much, because I have one." She waved a hand dismissively, and her gold rings glittered.

"Owie!" said Erica, and made a face.

"It's just through the hood, Eric," said Sam. "Like a boy's foreskin."

"Wow," said Cathy. "Why?"

"Well... it's pretty," Anita said, smiling. "I like jewelry. If I wear tight shorts that rub down there, I can feel it, and I feel sexy. And when...hmm." She paused. "And I suppose it's alright to say it was a present for my last birthday. From someone who knows how special it is. And I have to say it was less trouble than my ears and nose."

Cathy blinked. "Nose?" she said. She looked closely at Anita's face. There was a tiny, sparkly gem on one side of her nose. "Oh."

"So," Allison said, "I guess it's our turn to tell you something now."

"Something personal." Anita said. "Sexy would be best." She grinned, her white teeth flashing. "How did you get your first orgasm?"

Allison giggled nervously. "Promise you won't laugh?" she asked.

Jo said, "Promise."

Everyone else nodded solemnly.

Allison said, "My mum and dad and I were visiting dad's brother in the states, out west in California. We were staying in this little motor court, and I was sick one night. The water or something with traveling. Now I was better the next day, but mum and dad went out in the morning and left me to rest up with a stack of comic books. I finished the comics and was jumping up and down on the bed, bored out of my mind. I saw the bed had this box on the side where you could put money and it would vibrate. I tried it out lying on my back, and it just felt weird. I laughed that people would pay money to make their bed shake. So I got up and leaned on the corner of the bed to pick up my comic books." She got up and bent forward, showing the motion. "Then it felt kind of good, so I moved around," she said, rolling her hips on the corner of an imaginary bed, "and WOW!"

Allison threw her arms open wide and fell back into her seat, joggling Cathy who was on the same couch.

"You go, girl!" said Cathy.

Sam and Eric held their hands to their mouths, turning pink as they tried to suppress giggles. Suki's eyes were open wide, and she was smiling.

"Did you run out of money that trip?" asked Jo.

"I pretended I wanted it for video games," Allison said. "I had to play some to keep mum and dad from suspecting, so I got pretty good by the end of the trip. Had to make those quarters last," she said. She settled back down into her seat.

Anita gave Allison a gentle smile and said, "Thank you, Allison. Who's next to share?" She scanned the room. Cathy, Suki, Sam, Eric, Jo...

Cathy looked at the girls a little uncertainly, and started, "I wanted to ask...", at the same time Suki cleared her throat and said, "Ah, comics remind..." They hesitated, looking at each other.

"I am so sorry, Cathy," Suki said. "Please go ahead."

"No, Suki, go on ahead, that's all right."
