(Subplot) Naked Shopping

"As much as I love this mansion, I'm in a whole new country and I feel like I haven't seen any of it yet" Tina complained "I know there are nudity laws and stuff, but I really want to get outside and explore!"

"I was just going to say we need a few glitches to head to the store and get us some groceries, sounds like you have volunteered to lead the charge!" Barbie smiled "Lucy, can you go too? I think it greatly reduces the chance of anyone getting arrested"

"Sure, there is a Waitrose not far from here" Lucy shrugged "Any excuse to grab some of their food!"

"Can I go as well?" Abigail asked "Sophie always promised me we would explore England together. I guess it might take my mind off things to make a start on that, even if it is only a trip to the shop"

"Sure, and maybe one more for luck?" Barbie asked.

"Pick me! Pick me!" Maggie jumped up and down waving her hand in the air exaggeratedly "I have been staring at my screen for too long already. I need some fresh air!"

As the naked quartet ventured outside the safety and seclusion of their mansion gates and into the quaint English countryside, one thing became quickly apparent - the good folk of Beaconsfield did not stoop to watch such lowbrow television as Lucy's Naked Reality. She was barely a celebrity there, though that didn't mean the group weren't attracting plenty of attention. Still, nobody was actually challenging them.

"I feel like I am in Downton Abbey or something!" Abigail enthused as she took in her surroundings "Does all of England look like this?"

"Where I'm from certainly doesn't" Lucy replied "In fact, I don't think any of the UK glitches come from anywhere this nice. Tania seems like she could be a local though"

"I just love the look of all the cute little pubs!" Tina beamed "Maybe we can stop off at one on the way back?"

It was at that point the group's conversation was interrupted by an angry looking, red faced middle aged woman who had clearly taken issue with their presence in town.

"Excuse me young ladies, just what on Earth do you think you are doing? Cavorting around like....that!"

"We're just heading to the store to pick up some groceries, that's all!" Maggie answered politely.

"And then maybe a quick pint at the pub!" Tina added for good measure.

"Oh I see, Americans!" the woman sneered with distaste "I don't know how things work in your country, but the British like to conduct ourselves with a certain degree of decorum!"

"Actually, most of us don't have a stick wedged as far up our arses as you obviously do!" Lucy retorted in her unmistakeably English accent "So unless you have anything constructive to say, I suggest you fuck off and stop giving us all a bad name!"

"You haven't heard the last of this!" the woman, her face redder than ever, huffed before storming off.

"I am so sorry about that!" Lucy apologised.

"Don't sweat it. We have assholes in the US too" Abi reassured her "Awesome response though. Now, let's go shopping!"

"Man, even the grocery stores are classy here!" Tina smiled as she began filling her basket with all sorts of expensive looking snacks and other treats.

"Most of them aren't" Lucy assured her "I wouldn't normally do a full grocery run here, but Barbie insisted money is no object, so why not?"

As the girls made their way around the store, they were approached by two male police officers, one middle aged and one younger.

"Excuse me ladies" the older of the two began as he approached "We have had a report of indecent exposure and abusive language. I'm assuming that must be you. I'm just following up on it"

"We're nudists, this is our way of life" Lucy explained "And I may have let the F word slip, but it was in response to a racist comment that was made against my friends"

"It's okay, I'm on your side here" the policeman reassured the group "That particular individual is a constant pain in my arse to be brutally honest with you. But I have to do what I can to keep the peace. So just try and steer clear of her, okay?"

"That is just fine with us!" Maggie nodded.

"Hey, wait! Aren't you Lucy Chesterton?" the younger officer suddenly piped up "I love your show! Um, would it be okay if I got a selfie with you? And your friends too, if none of you mind?"

"Sure thing!" Lucy smiled, relieved this wasn't going to be an issue.

As the six of them huddled in close together and smiled for a group shot, the woman who had made the complaint emerged from the next aisle, looking as if she was about to explode, She had apparently been snooping on the whole exchange.

"Honestly, law enforcement in this country is a joke these days!" she whined "You should be arresting these little tarts, not encouraging them!"

"Oh lighten up Beatrice, or I'll book you for harassing these nice young ladies!" The older officer threatened as the glitches new, non magical, nemesis stormed off again.

"I'm enjoying this so much" Tina giggled "We really do need to top this off with a pint!"
