Sarah and Jim are good friends of mine. We like to hang out, get some pizza together and watch movies, and generally just chill and have a good time. They are a couple, and the three of us get along very well. We especially like going to the beach, and often spend long lazy afternoons sunning and swimming.
Sarah is a petite 5 foot 2, with short blond hair and small breasts. She is very athletic and energetic, and won many swimming trophies in high school. She is also a troublemaker, and has a strong interest in doing dares and getting other people to do them. Usually she gets me to do her wild dares. She has quite an imagination; I don't know how she comes up with half of her crazy ideas. Like one time in high school when she dared me to wear a skimpy bikini to the beach. I had never even worn a thing to the beach, and she somehow got me to wear a microkini, which is a thong bottom that exposes your whole ass, and a top that barely covers up your nipples. I had to shave my bush just to wear it. I would never have done it, but Sarah wore an identical outfit, so it was all good, and quite a thrill.
Jim is quite a contrast to Sarah in appearance. He is almost 6 feet, African American, and has big bulging biceps. He is more restrained than Sarah, but when he is with her he can get pretty crazy himself. Like the time in high school when Sarah dared us all to skinny dip at a pool party. I wouldn't do it, and she tried to get other people at the party to disrobe. There were no volunteers until Jim silently dropped his trunks and jumped off the diving board buck naked, his big black cock dangling between his legs. After Jim broke the ice, about half of the people at the party got naked, including Sarah and myself.
Anyway, she is always coming up with some kind of crazy stunt. Many of them involve nudity, but she also can come up with other crazy dares. Have you ever eaten a straight Habanero pepper? I like spicy foods myself, but one time she egged me on to try one, and my mouth was on fire for a half an hour. Sometimes her dares involve alcohol, like drinking shots that are lit on fire. (Not a good idea!) She has lots of non-nude related stunts that she gets people to do. This story is not about one of those non-nude stunts.
It was a lazy hot August day in Miami, and the three of us were hanging out at the beach. We had all swam in the ocean for awhile, and then listened to some tunes on Jim's boom box. This was the early 90s, so we were listening to bands that would make you cringe now, like Color me Badd and MC Hammer. Sarah said she was bored. I asked her what I should do to entertain her. She said we had to do something to liven things up.
"How about getting some ice-cream?" Jim asked her.
"I'm still full from the nachos." Sarah replied.
"Let's go swimming again!" I offered.
"No, been there, done that." Sarah complained.
We all just kind of sat there for a few minutes, and then out of the blue, Sarah asked us a totally unexpected question.
"I wonder if anyone has ever had the nerve to get naked on the beach?" She said to us.
I assumed she was talking about Haulover Beach, a nude beach in the Miami area. We had all been there a couple of times, and I thought she was going to suggest a trip there. "I'm game for going to Haulover if you two want to." I replied.
"No No No, I mean right HERE. Has anyone ever gotten nude on this beach?"
"Are you crazy?" Jim said. "This is not a nude beach; there are families and senior citizens here! What are you talking about?"
"Well, that would sure relieve my boredom!" Sarah informed us.
"O.K., Sarah, go for it." I suggested.
"No, not me. How about you Miranda?"
"Yah, right. Sure, I'll just strip off my bikini right now, no problem. You're on crack, Sarah."
"Would you do it for $100, Miranda?" Sarah asked me.
She had to be joking. "No way!" I said.
She was silent for a minute. Then Jim said something unexpected. "O.K., Miranda, how about this hypothetical scenario. You get $500 dollars. That's a lot of cash, isn't it?"
I replied. "O.K., if you magically give me $500 I'll get naked right here for a minute."
"Oh no, not for a minute. Remember, $500 is a lot of money. Think of what you could buy with that. Cds, clothing, even a new bike. But for that kind of cash, you have to be a bit more bold. You have to walk the entire length of the beach nude."
"First of all, it doesn't matter, Jim. No one is going to give me $500 to do that. As much as you two freaks would like to see me humiliate myself by getting naked on a public beach, I know you won't pay $250 each just for a quick thrill. And second of all, it's illegal. Finally, that is way too daring even for us. Maybe doing it for a minute, but walking a half a mile naked on a non-nude beach is insane. I would never have the nerve to do it for real." I told Jim.
"Would you do it for $1000?" Sarah asked me.
This was going nowhere. I knew they wouldn't have the money to pay me, so I said, "O.K., sure. For $1000 I would walk the entire length of the beach nude. Give me the money and I'll do it."
Sarah said "The key word is walk. It wouldn't be as exciting if you ran, that would basically be streaking. Well streaking is cool I guess, but what we have is a little more bold. You have to walk at a normal pace the whole time."
Jim said "O.K., were all going to meet here at noon tomorrow. Miranda, you won't need to pack a bathing suit."
My head was spinning now. "What are you talking about, Jim? You don't have that kind of money to waste."
Jim replied "Before we take this conversation any further, I need to know, Miranda. Are you serious about doing this dare for $1000? You promise that if I really pay you in advance you will go through with it?"
What the hell was going on here? He had to be joking. How did an innocent day at the beach turn into me agreeing to come back tomorrow and walk around stark naked? I still wasn't taking this seriously yet, so I said, "Sure. I promise. Give me $1000 and I will do it. Except if I get in trouble with the law, you would have to promise to pay any fine." Why was I even considering it? What if he really had the cash, would I ever have the nerve to do this for real?
We hung out at the beach for another hour, and then went our separate ways.
The morning came, and I had a quick bowl of cereal. I still didn't believe Jim would pay me the money, but what if he did, I thought? I put on my favorite red string bikini under my white shorts and black tank-top, and rode my bike to the nearby beach to meet my devious friends.
Sarah and Jim were both there first. They had already set up towels in our favorite spot on the north end of the beach. I was hoping they had forgotten all about that stupid dare. I still didn't think they were serious, but a part of my mind was afraid that they were. Then I noticed that there were about 20 other people sitting on towels very close to them. I recognized some of them from high school. Jim was talking to some of them.
