"Hmmm, no shoes." Tricia got an impish grin on her face, Erica knew where this was going "No shirt, so sorry. no service."

Erica's face felt like it was on fire, she was being derided for standing there naked. She doubted she could feel any smaller.

"Why are you naked anyways?" Gordon asked, barely able to reign in his wandering eyes long enough to look at Erica's face to ask her.

"I uh... I lost a bet." Erica's voice was barely audible. She could see the three of them straining to hear her, and knew she either had to get closer or raise her voice. The lesser of two evils was to get even closer to Gordon, Malcolm, and Tricia so that she did not attract attention from anyone else on the bus. "I was told that I had to talk to you guys for ten minutes if I want my clothes back."

Erica's allusions prompted the trio to look back at Lisa and the gang, who waved back. Then the three of them huddled together, whispering amongst themselves for a moment.

"Tell you what, come a bit closer. Let us... inspect you, and then we'll see if you can sit," Tricia offered.

Erica knew if she didn't do as they asked, she would have to go back to Lisa and remain naked, so she took a small step forward. Erica's body was now mere inches from the faces of her new "friends", who started looking over every inch of Erica's bare body.
