She Has To Get Out Now!

*Note: some context for characters referenced in this chapter may require reading 3 days off (another Tiffany storyline) to fully grasp.*

Tiffany scowled at the partiers, who were making no moves to help her get some clothes. “Some friends they are...” she thought to herself, treading water lightly about twenty feet from the shoreline. It was then that she noticed several of them stealing glances in her directions, while whispering. She got a gut feeling in her stomach, which felt like all too similar to moment when you drop off a steep hill on a roller coaster. Nervously, she asked her sister Kim “What’s the big idea? Everyone keeps looking over here. The water is pretty bubbly and shifty right now for some reason, so I know they can’t see anything below the water.”

Her sister laughed lightly. “Oh, nothing much. It’s just, it’s been about eight or so hours since the last flow, so we’re waiting to see what you’ll do when the hot water comes in.” Kim calmly explained. Tiffany suddenly understood why the water was bubbly and shifty, and is why everyone was talking and murmuring in her direction with smiles on their faces. At three specific times of day, unbelievably hot water would rise up through vents from below and quickly heat all the water in the spring to an unbearable level. Her family must have informed her friends, and coworkers about the coming event, which explained why she was the last one in the water. They were all waiting for the inevitable: Tiffany’s naked dash back to the shore once the water became too hot to bear. She began to sweat nervously, as she envisioned the events that were about to unfold. “Please. Just this once. Don’t go off. Please.” She begged in thought, hoping against hope nature would fail, and save her from an embarrassing fate.

Unfortunately, her pleas only seemed to agitate the natural world, as almost immediately the spring’s bubbles reached a new level, as the flow began. The temperature change was immediately obvious, from a lukewarm temperature up to the level of a hot spring. “Oh come on!” Tiffany said aloud, wincing as she prepared to dash back to shore. Another blast of hot water rose the temperature to that of a scalding hot bath, but Tiffany held out. “I can’t do it!” Tiffany thought to herself, her face reddening as she imagined everyone seeing her body completely unfiltered by hazy water.

Finally, the third blast made the water hot enough that her bodily instincts to escape getting burned trumped her desire to not let anyone see her naked. Without even attempting to cover herself, Tiffany suddenly sprung forward, her arms raised above the water as she ran. “Hot! So hot! Holy shit!” She yelled, running full speed up the steep incline back to shore. Her brother Jacob grabbed everyone’s attention by yelling “Look! She's actually naked!” This was met with many cheers and laughs in Tiffany’s direction.

“Tiffany! I had no idea you were so daring outside the office! But I suppose a naked body is nothing to be ashamed of.” Her boss Gary exclaimed in surprise, raising an eyebrow.

“There she goes again. Somehow ending up wearing only that necklace in front of everybody. She might as well give up on clothes at this point...” Her roommate Gina said with a sigh, shaking her head.

“Better hurry up, or you’ll get burned! Especially without a suit on...” Her dad warned.

There was an an awkward pause from Tiffany as she made it back to shore, and the commotion had grown. Tiffany took a moment to recover from the hot water, her skin glowing a slight pink after being in contact. Then, she looked up, and her bodily instinct that had taken over to get her to shore left the moment she realized she was no longer in danger, but very exposed. She instantly threw an arm over her breasts, and crouched down slightly as she placed a hand over her pussy. “Ahh! Stop looking!” She screamed, turning in all directions as she tried and failed to keep her body from being seen. On her left, her family had gathered and were reacting with a mixture of awe and confusion. In front of her, her roommates and a few friends were smiling to themselves, Tiffany's bare ass a common sight among them at this point. To her right, a few of her coworkers who had only just now experienced her common act of ending up exposed and embarrassed. The semi-circle formation left her feeling naked, helpless, and exposed on all sides as she tried to think of a way to escape the embarrassing gaze of her family and friends.

Tiffany’s aunt chuckled to herself. “Well, when I asked you to show my daughter how to dive, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind. But I guess that’s a good way to lead with an example of why you need a high quality suit. Otherwise, you might end up with your tits and ass hanging out at the swim meet.”

“Well, I guess your ‘Birthday Suit’ is one outfit you can wear on your birthday...” Her childhood friend Dan quipped, earning him a scowl from Tiffany that made him chuckle.

“I really like your necklace! It really compliments your... uhh... boobs...” Katelyn tried to comfort, fumbling the wording halfway through.

Tiffany began to sink into herself, when she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. A red-haired woman with a bun atop her head, wearing a bright green, frilly dress that looked like it came straight from an old English royal court. Time suddenly slowed to a crawl, and memories came flooding back into her head. She recalled the agreement with the necklace's spirit, and instantly became angry. “You! You did this! Why can’t you just make me drop my towel around the house while my roommates are home? Or something a little more tame maybe?! Did you have to go and expose me in front of everyone I know?!” She spat, as the woman approached.

“Well, you are about as feisty as ever I see. Pleasure to be seeing you again. All of you.” The translucent woman said, extending a hand to shake as she looked Tiffany up and down. . Tiffany didn’t make any move to shake, and the woman just laughed to herself and pulled back.

“Well Jane? You got what you want. Now what? Come to gloat? Take a look for yourself?” Tiffany questioned, furrowing her brow.

“Well, if I am being honest, you do look very good in... well... almost nothing. I do enjoy taking a look myself from time to time, while I drink in all that delicious attention and embarrassment. But, I had no idea THAT was how it was going to go down. I was planning on having the party convince you to get out of your own accord. But then the water got hot, and you did all the work for me. Thank you for that.” Jane thanked, doing a slight curtsy. “You really ought to just give in and accept it. If we work together instead of me having to work discreetly and making you think it’s an accident every time, it would be so much easier for both of us.”

Tiffany raised an eyebrow. “Why would I work with you? Your entire purpose is to make me exposed and embarrassed. No way for me to work with you on that. We had a deal, remember?"

Jane nodded reluctantly in agreement. "Yes, we have a deal. But, I've had some time to think about it. Our deal, it does not exactly benefit us as much as possible. Both of us stand to gain more if we were to... Redraw our agreement." Jane explained.

Tiffany scoffed. "A new deal? Sounds to me like you just want to get more chances to expose me. Nice try."

Jane shook her head in response. "Well, there is more to it than that. After carefully looking at it, I have discovered something. Attention is by far the key. All eyes on you. But the problem, is that when you wear stunning clothes to gather attention, I lose a lot of the energy to people looking at a dress, your shoes, earrings, and anything else. Pretty much, the reason I get more energy from you being naked with the necklace on, is because I don't lose any energy to other garments." Jane explained. "So embarrassment is a byproduct of you being naked, and doesn't actually supply much of anything to the process."

Tiffany took a hand off her breast, and scratched her forehead. "So what are you saying?"

Jane laughed to herself, before reaching forward and smacked Tiffany's left ass cheek. She recoiled and shivered, as it felt like a cold wind brushed by her backside. "I'm saying we can stop this charade of being ashamed of your body. There's no need for it! It would be so much easier for both of us, if you just gave in. I get all the attention I need, you get to go about life about as close to normal as you can get. Easy!"

Tiffany sighed. "You want me to stop being embarrassed? Try having all of your family and friends see you stark naked. Really makes you feel different about someone when they know what your bare body looks like." She spat. Jane seemed taken aback for a moment, before adjusting her dress.

"Well, I don't think I can get it. I've always been... a bit different. People seeing me naked never really gave me any problems..."

Tiffany was surprised, and stared back. "Wait. How couldn't it give you any problems? You grew up royalty didn't you?"

"Well, I wasn't born into a high family. I married in. Here, let me just show you." Jane said, before snapping her fingers. Suddenly, blinding light filled her vision, and Tiffany winced as she suddenly felt weightless.
