Kacey ends memory lane on a naked note

Kacey was about to knock on the door when she noticed it was already open and Dr. Hilbert was at his desk browsing the computer. She simply peaked her head around the doorframe and knocked on the wall inside.

Dr. Hilbert looked up and noticed Kacey staring back at him, her toplessness clearly evident even though she was looking in from the side.

"Carmen Silvia Dolores Gomez Criollo," Dr. Hilbert warmly but cheekily recited Kacey's full name as she cringed a bit inside, "come right in!"

"Hi Dr. Hilbert," Kacey walked in. John looked at his brightest pupil, who had completed a doctorate at an age where he was still bumbling around in high school, wearing nothing but lacy pink panties and black flats. He had figured that Kacey was the adventurous type since he saw what appeared to be her nude backside through her gown throughout the commencement ceremony, but was greatly amused to see that she hadn't even bothered to get dressed afterwards - though he didn't quite remember seeing those panties...

"You were such a good girl back then," Dr. Hilbert sassily tsk-tsked Kacey on her outfit as she bent over to sit down at his desk, "but I guess the real world's made you a changed woman?"

"Heh heh, I guess you could say that," Kacey nervously rubbed the back of her neck, "how's life been treating you?"

"Well, you know, Don Knuth stopped by last week, and until today that was the highlight of my month," Dr. Hilbert just chuckled.

"Is this something for admissions?" Dr. Hilbert pointed at Brooke who had entered and was posed to the side of the emerging conversation, "let me straighten myself up," he jokingly rubbed his hand back over his hair and straightened an imaginary tie.

"No need for formality, John," Brooke laughed him off, "you gotta be candid, you know?"

"Well, how about you? Other than fashion choices, of course..." Dr. Hilbert turned back to check on Kacey.

"Well, quantum computing and AI makes it quite easy to make money in this economy," Kacey explained, "it's such a shame it's not like that for everyone."

"Oh, I'm sure you'd do just fine in any economy with your brains!" Dr. Hilbert flattered Kacey as she just jokingly waved him off.

"Well, it was wonderful catching up with the best advisor ever!" Kacey got up to leave, "but I want to cap off my adventure!" as she pulled down her panties and kicked off her shoes, giving the items to a speechless Dr. Hilbert.

"Oh, you're so generous," John said sheepishly accepting the items and deeply torn on whether to sniff the panties or not.

Hands were shaken and final farewells were bid as Kacey walked nakedly down the stairs with the fully-dressed Brooke following her. Eventually they got outside and Kacey posed next to a statue of Emmy Noether, her frumpy suit contrasting with Kacey's nudity.

"That was awesome!" Brooke complimented Kacey, "Mind if we use this for admissions material for Rocky Mountain?"
