Yuki tries to explain herself

Chapter originally by Zendle on writing . com

"Everybody wait!" Yuki yelled. "Let me explain!"

"I don't want to hear it, thief!" The women ran out of the changing room (in a one-piece swimsuit) and grabbed Yuki by the collar.

However the saleswomen stepped forward pushed them both apart. "Hey! No horseplay! We'll deal with the thief another way."

"I'm not a thief!" Yuki protested.

"Then why do you have my clothes?"

"If you stop yelling at me for two seconds I'll tell you!"

Both the clerk and the swimsuit-clad women stopped and crossed their arms.

"Fine." The clerk said. "Tell us."

"Alright, I was in the changing room about to try on the bikini you shoved in my face." She pointed to the clerk. "But decided it was tacky so I didn't put it on."

"Shows what you know." The clerk scoffed.

"Anyway, I was already undressed so I peeked out my changing room and saw a bikini hanging on the wall that I actually liked."

"You walked out in the store in your underwear?" The other women asked skeptically.

"No I wasn't in my underwear! I was...uh" Yuki trailed off, suddenly realizing what she was admitting too. "I-I was naked."

Both women burst out laughing.

"You seriously expect us to believe that?" The clerk said while laughing. "No sane person would walk outside completely naked."

"Well I did, okay!" Yuki said defensively. "Anyway I got the bikini but that's when this person came out." She pointed to the women.

"The name is Jane, thank you very much."

"Whatever. Anyway, you saw my open changing room and took all my stuff and handed it to this girl so I had to take your clothes if I wanted to ask for mine back."

"That's stupid." Jane said. "Why not just go up to the counter naked?"

"W-well.." Yuki admittedly didn't think about that.

"For that matter why not just put on one of the suits and pay for it after I give you your stuff back? We're allowed to do that."

Yuki was still stumped "I was naked and didn't think..."

"No, you did think." Jane said. "You planned all this out, decided to 'lose' your clothes, steal mine, then run around and get naked somewhere leaving me without a stitch!"

"You still had your underwear and I was going to return these tacky clothes of yours."

"Tacky!" Jane was fuming. "I'll show you tacky! Take my clothes off right now!"

"Just give me my dress back and you'll get your stuff!"

"No!"

With surprisingly strength, Jane once again grabbed Yuki, she pulled the shirt up, but not enough to pull it off, she then unhooked the dress, yanked it off Yukis hips and finally yanked off the shirt completely. In a daze, the naked Japanese girl fell on her bare butt, while Jane stormed back into the changing room.

"OK." The clerk said. "That was fun but time for you to leave."

"What about my clothes!" Yuki stood up covering herself with her hands. "I can't go out there naked!"
