She recognizes Mimi

The guard pondered for a short moment. Did she believe this woman? The logical response would be no, as this was a dripping wet, stark naked woman rifling through the trash at a mall food stand, meaning she was probably homeless and/or crazy. Then she remembered something important.

"Y'know, come to think of it, I think I recognize you. You work at the Strip 'n Grab, right?"

Mimi's face brightened. "Yes, yes, I'm the cashier."

"Yeah, you're the one who accidentally let your skirt fall down when you were leading a customer to the pants."

"Oh... I kinda forgot about that."

"Yeah, and then your friend picked them up and brought them behind the counter, so you were walking around in your panties for hours without even noticing."

Mimi started to shuffle around uncomfortably, even more embarrassed now. "Wait, were you... watching that?"

"How could I not? It was hilarious, and you had such a cute butt in those panties." Mimi gave a confused and disturbed expression, leading the guard to trail off, realizing she'd probably said too much. "Well, um, anyway, the point is I'll take you to the store."

"Oh, thank you. You have no idea how badly I want to be dressed right now."

"Well, it's not that hard to figure out." The guard turned away and started to walk out. Mimi followed and, quickly realizing she still had her hands over her head, promptly flattened them over her boobs and crotch.

Walking through the darkened mall, the flashlight leading the way, the guard (she said her name was Christine) tried to engage in idle conversation, though Mimi wasn't so eager.

"So, does this sort of thing happen often, you being naked I mean?"

"More than I'd care to admit," Mimi said, nervously moving her hands between her privates. "I don't have the best taste in friends."

I'd beg to differ. Christine thought. "Is that coworker of yours one of them?"

Mimi noticed Christine was sneaking glances at her breasts, but trying to be discreet about it. She moved her hands up to her breasts and turned away from her. "'Friend' is a strong word, but yeah, I guess June's my friend."

"She seems like quite the character."

"That's a... nice way to put it. Y'know, I'm kind of uncomfortable talking about my personal life with a stranger, particularly while I'm naked in public with said stranger, so can we not talk for a bit."

"Oh... sure, yeah, sorry." Christine reluctantly relented. She was a little confused at the moment. Logically, she should have been uncomfortable, escorting a naked woman through the mall during her shift, but for some reason, she wanted to stay close to this girl as long as possible. Not for any duty-bound, chivalrous reason, definitely, so she was determined to figure it out, and that meant sticking around.

The sudden silence revealed to the two women just how awkward their situation was. Both women walked in silence, trying not to look at one another for fear of more awkwardness. After what seemed like forever (more so to the one woman without clothes), they finally made it to Strip 'N Grab. "Oh, thank goodness," Mimi exclaimed, eager to end both her state of undress and her awkward exchange with her companion.

Walking through the doors, both women saw...
