Taking Short Cuts

Kayla gulped as she decided that the short cut would be best. She would be seen by a lot more people then she would have liked, and she was already seen by hundreds already, but if it meant that she wouldn't spending a full day trying to get back to the hotel...

Taking a deep breath, Kayla clutched the stuffed animals to her body as she began her trek through the alleyways of New York City, completely unaware of the mouse following her closely to make his next move. A few minutes of traversing the maze of alleyways later, the naked blonde soon came up to an opening that lead to a sidewalk. Peering out of said opening, Kayla saw that right across the street was Central Park, the first crowded area she would have to cross in order to get to the hotel.

"Okay, Kayla." The blonde said as she tried to calm herself down, "You can do this! It's just like going for a jog. Except you're not wearing any shoes. Or socks. Or underwear. Or... Anything other than a couple of stuffed animals, really." She let out a pathetic whine. "I can't do this."

The naked blonde then slapped herself before returning the hand with the stuffed rabbit to her naked butt. "Keep it together, Kayla!" She told herself, "You have to do this if you want any hope of waking up from this nightmare!"

Kayla took a deep, shaky breath as she eyed the park across the street. Thankfully, despite being one of the biggest parks in New York, it wasn't nearly as wide as it was long, so there was a chance that she wouldn't be seen by many people.

She hoped...

"Okay..." Kayla squeaked as she pressed the stuffed animals against herself tightly. "One... Oh, dear Lord... Two... This is so embarrassing... Three!"

With that, Kayla bolted out of the alleyway and across the street, passing several stunned pedestrians and honking cars. Up above, the mouse was using a telephone wire to cross the street into the park, an idea forming in his head.

Kayla ran down the path as she streaked past even more people, her entire body glowing red as she tried her best to ignore the cat calls, wolf whistles, cheering, jeering, and laughing of the park visitors.

"Hey baby! I can be your teddy bear if you want!" An eighteen-year-old man called out to the blushing blonde. "Especially if THAT'S how you carry your stuffed animals!"

"Put some clothes on, you freak!" A mother yelled, covering her son's eyes. Kayla blushed harder, wishing that she could do that very action right now.

"Whoo! Rock on, sister!" A group of eighteen-year-old punk rock girls cheered. One of them added, "Ditch the stuffed animals next time!"

"Good gracious!" A nun gasped, closing her eyes as she formed the cross over her face and chest with a series of hand movements.

"Hey Mom," a woman in her early twenties said into her phone as she watched the mortified Kayla run by, her own cheeks starting to heat up, "how do you and Dad think Cleo would respond if I told you guys that I think I like girls now?"

"Now that's something you don't see every day." A man said with a southern twang, removing his cowboy hat to scratch his head as he stood there in his cowboy boots and white briefs.

"Just pretend they're not there, Kayla!" The humiliated blonde repeated to herself as she continued to run towards the other end of the park while trying to ignore the comments and laughter around her. "Just pretend they're not there, Kayl-" Before she could finish her mantra, the naked blonde had stepped on a skateboard, "Aaaah!"

The naked blonde flailed about as she found herself rolling forward on the skateboard, sending the stuffed animals flying as she rode down the path.

"No!" Kayla cried out as she looked behind her to see the stuffed bunny and unicorn, her only covering, fall to ground behind her as she unintentionally skated naked through the remainder of the park.

She looked forward again as she skated out of the park entrance, screaming as she crossed the street and into another alleyway. The skateboard then came to an abrupt stop, sending Kayla flying through the air and landing head first into a trash can with a clatter.

"Ow." Kayla said flatly, her plump butt sticking up in the air as she kicked her legs in an attempt to free herself from her silver, cylindrical, metallic, and thankfully empty prison.

While this was going on, the mouse merely kicked the skateboard out of the alleyway and tossed the rope to the side before continuing to watch the woman trying to free herself.

After a few seconds, the trash can fell to it's side as Kayla crawled out of it. Once she was out, she immediately slapped her hands over her small, perky breasts as she crossed a leg over her shaved privates.

On the one hand, she now had only three more places to cut through in order to get back to the hotel.

One the other hand, she now had only three more places to cut through in order to get back to the hotel... Without any cover!

Looking around the alleyway, Kayla saw a newspaper and immediately picked it up, plastering it to her front half as she let out a whimper at not being able to cover her plump butt. The naked blonde then proceeded down the alleyways as she headed towards her next destination: The Museum of Natural History.

Completely unaware of the mouse following her.
