Fun in public

“I choose option A.” Lauren said finally.

“Good answer.” Maria said, the evil smile returning to her face. She then grabbed Lauren by her shoulder and forcefully dragged her out the door, closing and locking it behind them.

Lauren shrieked. She was outside! Not just that, she was outside wearing only a diaper!

“What are you doing?!” Lauren hissed, covering herself the best she could.

“Taking you out to have some fun!” Maria beamed. She then narrowed her eyes and said, “And I told you, ‘arms at your side'.”

“But that was-“ Lauren began, but was quickly interrupted.

“Consider this strike two.” Maria said ominously, “Do you want to try for strike three?”

Lauren gulped and put her arms back by her side. Maria smiled that evil smile again as she did so.

“That’s better.” Maria said. “Now, I’m not dumb enough to think that you’re going to come along quietly, and dragging you to my car will be more trouble than it’s worth, so…”

Maria, in a feat of strength that surprised Lauren, lifted the little woman off her feet by her underarms. Lauren squealed as she was lifted up and pressed up against Maria’s chest. After placing a hand under her diapered rear, Maria set off down to her car; a humiliated Lauren in her arms.

Lauren couldn’t believe this. She was being carried by her old high school rival like an infant downstairs and outside of her apartment building into the bright sunlight. She closed her eyes, asking herself if today could possibly get any worse.

“Aww, isn’t she just a cutie!” A chipper voice rang out as the two made their way down to the street. The two looked over Maria’s shoulder and saw a young woman – about Lauren’s age – with long blonde hair. Lauren simultaneously paled and groaned: It was her next door neighbor, Samantha; a bubbly, airheaded blonde who Lauren hated. Samantha walked up to the two.

“Hi,” Samantha introduced herself, “My name’s Samantha Mills. My friends call me Sammy. Are you new to the building?”

“Oh, no.” Maria said, “I’m just babysitting my friend’s sister here.”

“Oh.” Sammy said with a wide, toothy grin. She leaned in forward and tweaked Lauren’s nose, “And how are you doing, you little pumpkin? You are just too cute!”

Lauren grimaced and turned beat red at the comments and actions. True, Samantha was a ditz, but she did not want anyone recognizing her like this.

Sammy then turned her attention to Maria. “You know what?” She asked, “She reminds me of my little sister. Who knows, they probably go to the same daycare together!”

Lauren calmed down a bit. Thankfully she wasn’t rec- WAIT, WHAT?! Lauren thought in horror as her face began to get even redder. Samantha thought she was THAT young?! There was no way she looked that young! Even with the embarrassing outfit! This was like her worst nightmare coming to life!

“Yeah,” Maria said, fighting to hold in her laughter, “who knows?”

“Well, I got to get going.” Sammy said. She pinched Lauren’s cheek one last time, the little woman so red she looked like she would explode. “Bye, cutie pie!”

As Sammy turned to head upstairs, Maria continued to her car. She opened the side door and placed Lauren inside, buckling her in. Then she got into the driver’s side and buckled her seat belt. After a few seconds, Maria exploded into laughter to the point tears were formed in her eyes. After a few minutes of this laughing fit, Maria calmed down and turned to a red faced, glaring Lauren.

“Can’t really pretend to be high and mighty after that, can you?” Maria asked. “I mean imagine it. You, a fully grown adult, out in public, almost completely naked. The first question someone asks when they see you? ‘Does she go to daycare’?” Lauren hung her head in shame as Maria started the car. She took one last look at the shrinking building as they drove away. Away from her building…and her clothes.

As they came to a stop light a few blocks away from the apartment, Maria turned to Lauren. “Okay, I have three different ideas of where we can go. You pick: A, B, or C? And no, I’m not telling you what they are.”

“But I-“

“Or you can pick option D.” Maria added, “Which is I drop you off ten miles from your place, and you can walk back to your apartment as is. Your choice.”

Lauren was well aware of the consequences of this game; but she didn’t like that last option either, so she had to pick one of the three and hope for the best. Little did Lauren know, however, that none seemed like the best option. Maria smiled, watching her think, knowing full well what the options were.

Option A: The Mall. It was a Saturday and everyone would be wanting to go to the mall either to hang out, shop, watch a movie, etc.. So there was a good chance she could find someone or something their to humiliate Lauren.

Option B: The Carnival. Again it was Saturday and everyone would be there. Not to mention, forcing Lauren onto kiddie rides and to do other childish activities would be a massive blow to her pride.

Option C: The Water Park. The town was small, with its only claim to fame being the home of Wild Willy’s Water World; a family water park on the outskirts of town. And with it being a very hot Saturday, there was a good chance that over half the town was there now. Plus, Stephen worked there as a lifeguard, so there was that added bonus.

After some thinking, Lauren made her decision.
