Sacrifice One For The Greater Good

As Vicky is walking up to greet the two ladies who just came from the cabin, Ashley can't help but throw a hand on her hip, pivot in her step and just stare at Victoria "Daaaamn, girl." she laughs "First Chloe is coming out of her shell and now you're wearing that?!" She almost seems shocked.

Vicky brushes a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear and gives her best friend a smile "You like it? You don't think it's too much?" she comes to a halt just a few feet from Ashley and Chloe and gives a little twirl, showcasing off her entire neon dark pink and light blue bikini.

"Vicky, you look so fucking hot!" Ashley peers at Chloe "Don't you agree Chloe?"

"Y-You do look good." Chloe responds with a happy grin.

It causes Vicky to mumble the saying Kurt told her in her head "You're a god damn bombshell!" which only causes her to beam with glee.

A splash causes all three to turn around, seeing Brandon jump into the crystal clear waters. "Should we?" Chloe asks both Victoria and Ashley as she sees Gavin sit down on the edge of the pier.

"Nah, not now! I just want to lay in the sun." Ashley smiles "I'm a damn ghost, need to soak up the sun a bit."

"Yeah, I'm all watered out." Victoria replies "You can join them if you want, Chloe."

"Umm..." Chloe hesitates briefly, normally she would go towards the water to hang out with Zack and Gavin since they are over there, but since she's trying to open up a little bit and trying her best to make new friends, she decides against it "Nah, I'll tan with you girls." she turns to Ashley and gives a friendly smile.

The three girls move over on the pier, far enough away from the edge that they can't get splashed, but also out in the middle of it so they can get as much sun as possible.

"KUR...." Gavin's voice yells out as it suddenly goes muffled as the three begin to set their towels down on the sun heated pier. Chloe immediately looks over and sees that Gavin is no longer on the pier, but instead completely soaked in the water with a few of the guys laughing.

It isn't long before Chloe is laying down on one side, Ashley in the middle and Victoria on the other side of Ashley. Soaking up the sun and just enjoying the warmth and cheer that it brings. "I could sit out here all day." Ashley coos out which is agreed immediately by Victoria "What about you, Chloe?"

"O-Oh yeah, I love this." Chloe plays it off. She honestly doesn't really quite get it. The sun does feel nice on her skin and she knows getting a little tan does look a better but she's also slightly bored. The entire time she's sitting here while Ashley and Victoria talk away like the two best friends they are, sharing school stories, class issues, cheer leading, newspaper ideas and even boy talk.

"Zack! No! Don't you...EKKK!!" Heather wails out in the water before going quiet.

Continuing to ignore one of her best friends, "So, got your eyes out for any boys on the trip, Vicky?" Ashley lets out causing Vicky to go a little flush.

"Uhh, I don't know, not really." she mutters out "Just want to enjoy this trip and if one thing leads to another..." she says into the sky.

"The pristine Victoria Walker may get down and dirty at the cabin!?" Ashley chuckles "You slut!" she reaches her hand over and playfully slaps her stomach. "Chloe?" Ashley prods into her next "You and...umm," Ashley stops, thinking of her next words "You and Gavin aren't a thing, are you?"

"What?!" Chloe sits up, looking over at Ashley "Me and Gavin? No way! We're just friends, not an item!" she replies almost instantly.

"Geez, calm down there Chloe." Ashley and Victoria release a laugh "I was just asking. Although, with that response do you...do you want to be something more?"

"G-Gavin? Huh, no way." Chloe scratches her head "I-I don't think so, I mean, he's cute, in a nerdy type of way but, but, I never thought of him like that, he's like a brother to me!"

"He is kinda cute." Ashley mumbles out "You should totally go for it. Or don't." she starts before getting caught off guard by a yelling voice.

"ASHLEY!!! VICKY!!! CHLOE!!" Heather wails "HEEELP!!!!" causing Ashley and Victoria to sit up, all three girls look over at Heather who is getting surrounded by the four guys.

"Wonder what's going on over there?" Vicky brings her hands up to shield her vision from the sun and looks out into the water.

"It looks like..." Chloe studies the scene, watching Heather go dunking back into the water only to get pulled back up over the surface, all four guys forming a circle around her, splashing, tickling and playfully throwing her around. "They are ganging up on Heather!"

Heather is laughing hysterically over in the lake as more and more splashes go about. Brandon and Zack pick her up by an arm each and throw her high into the sky causing her to plummet back down into the waters. The entire time, Gavin is feasting his eyes over the bodacious dark haired cheer captain, loving the sight before him as his secret crush is jumping, squealing and moving causing her tight and jiggly body to bounce around.

Chloe can't help but laugh, she kind of wants to go play in the water but she's starting to feel a little closer to Ashley and Victoria, which is a step in the right direction of opening up her shell. The words that come out of her mouth next, surprise even her "How about we sacrifice Heather to the boys so we can stay warm and dry?"

"Chloe fucking McRose!!!" Ashley's mouth drops open as she looks at the red haired girl "That might be the smartest thing you've ever said and I one hundred percent agree with you! Bitch can handle herself!" she sticks her tongue out at her.

"Good call, Chloe!" Victoria reaches her hand over, giving her a high five "Heather's a big girl! Not our problem!" Vicky slumps back over on her towel once more, completely ignoring the pleading cries from one of her good friends.

"T-Thanks!" Chloe feels great not only about having both these girls being so friendly with her, but she feels she's making huge steps into her new self. Still though, she can't help but feel bad as every couple of seconds, Heather whines, laughs and begs for the help from any of her lady friends.
