It's Dianne

A pretty girl with short blonde hair answers the door - blonde, with a streak of light blue. Her eyes match the streak, probably not by coincidence. She's smiling brightly. "Hi, John, she says. "We've been expecting you. Who are those for?" She indicates the flowers.

"One for each of you," you say grandly, extracting one rose from the bunch. "This one is yours."

"That's so sweet! The other girls will be blown away, I don't think a guy has ever brought us flowers before. Oh God, where are my manners? I'm Dianne, I've been chosen to introduce you around this evening. Come in, please."

She motions you inside and closes the door behind you. You notice that she's in a little black dress, with simple white crystal earrings and a matching necklace. Perhaps it's the hair, but you get the idea that this isn't her usual outfit.

Dianne notices you staring at her dress. "Traditionally, when we have a new stud over for the first time, we all wear the same dress," she says. "It kind of reinforces the idea that we're all your date tonight. If you see a girl wearing something else, that means she's not participating - don't take it personally, she might just not be in the mood." She smiles. "Incidentally, there's going to be a lot of black laundry tomorrow."

She leads you into the living room, where several of the girls are standing around having drinks. "He's here, girls!" she calls.

"Hi, John!" "Oh, John's here!" "Gee, I wonder who he brought flowers for?" "Someone go get Natalie, she wanted to be told when John arrived!" The girls voices mingle together as they greet you.

"Um, hi," you say, a little of your courage deserting you. You've been on a lot of dates, but never with a few dozen girls at once. It's a little intimidating, to say the least. You hold up the flowers, and announce to the room in general, "These are for you."

"For who?"

"For everyone."

The look on every girl's face is priceless. You immediately know that the roses were well worth the expense. One of them comes out of the crowd - it's Julie.

"Did I tell you girls that this guy was great, or what?" she says with a big grin. "Hey, sexy. You look so cute in that suit." She give you a really firm, wet kiss that elicits more than one whistle from the crowd.

"Let someone else have a turn with him, Julie!" Dianne says, and before you have a chance to even draw a full breath, she pulls you away from Julie and kisses you as well. Her lips taste like... strawberries.

When she finally lets you up for air, you take a deep breath. "I have the feeling this is going to be quite an evening," you say. A wave of giggles runs through the crowd.

"Come on, let me introduce you around," Dianne says. "You already know Julie pretty well - um, Julie, it's kind of awkward for him to have to carry those flowers around, maybe you could take some of them and follow us?"

"Absolutely," Julie says. "I want everyone to remember that I brought this one in." She gives you a wink and a smile, and takes the large bouquet from you.

"Now," Dianne says, leading you around the room, "This is Misty, she's on the gymnastics team. Misty, this is John."

"For you," you say, handing her one of the roses.

"Thanks," Misty says with a smile. "I think I'm going to like you a lot." She leans in close to whisper in your ear. "I can put my ankles behind my head. I'll show you sometime."

"I can't wait," you reply.

Dianne pulls you on to the next girl. "This is Sarah," she says. Sarah's a cute, slim brunette with green eyes. She smiles when you hand her the rose, and looks you up and down. "I think you'll be a lot of fun," she says, running her tongue over her upper lip.

"This is Katie and Kylie," Dianne says, leading you to a pair of girls standing very close together - you're picking up a definite vibe from them that they're used to being even closer.

"Hi, John," Katie says.

"We're really looking forward to getting to know you," Kylie adds.

You get a vivid mental image of the two of them naked on either side of you, an image all the harder to shake due to the strong possibility of it coming true very, very soon.

Dianne pulls you on. "And over here, this is..."

"...Susie and Michelle," Dianne says, finishing up the round of introductions at last.

"We're twins," the girls say in unison. It's fairly obvious that they are, as they're both so precisely identical that you thought at first you were seeing one girl with a mirror next to her. You take two more roses and hand them to the girls, and they giggle and run off.

"So, that's everyone," Dianne says. "Oh, but it looks like you've got one more rose. Did you miscount?"

No, you didn't. Heidi wasn't there. "I guess I must have," you say.

"Well, don't sweat it. Everyone decided to put their rose in a glass in front of them at dinner, we'll just put this one at your place."

"Or not."

That last voice came from behind you. You turn around and your jaw drops. There's Heidi, dressed in a long overcoat and hat, and looking more than a little peeved.

"H-h-hi, Heidi," you stutter. "Um... this is for you, I guess."

"Is this why you wanted me to join the APOs?" she asks, not taking the rose. She doesn't look too happy.

"Well... I really did think they were a good sorority, you know..." You glance around the room, but suddenly it's just the two of you. Somehow, everyone else got out in the moment you were distracted by Heidi's arrival."

"You know I'm saving myself for marriage," Heidi says with a hint of steel in her voice. "I can't believe you'd suggest a place like this for me, where they actually have a stud program to keep them satisfied. What the hell were you thinking?"

You swallow a lump in your throat, and decide you'd better be honest. "Well, this happened so suddenly, I was kind of caught up in it before I knew it. And when you asked me what house you should join, it kind of slipped out. No, that's not entirely true. I have to admit, I was hoping you might join, and maybe it would make you re-think a few things. But they must have told you that you don't have to participate in their program if you don't want to."

"I see," Heidi says with a frown. "And I suppose that all makes sense. But there's one thing you don't know."

"What's that?"

Heidi throws off the coat and reveals that she's wearing the same black dress as the rest of them. "I am fully capable of changing my mind," she says with a smirk.

Your eyes pop out of your head. The dress is probably showing more skin than anything you've ever seen Heidi wear. And when she takes off her hat and shakes her hair loose, she's suddenly not the Heidi you remember, but a hot and sexy version of her that you've only ever seen in your fantasies.

Involuntarily, you reach out to her, but she backs away. "Wait," she says. "I'm still not totally sure I'm ready for this. Let's see how the night goes, and maybe I won't even be the girl you end up with. Now come on, let's go to the dining room."

You offer her your arm, and she takes it graciously. "So, what changed your mind?" you ask.

Heidi's cheeks flush. "Let's just say that the girls showed me a little movie last night, and I saw a side of you that I've never seen before."
