As Lily entered the bar, she saw that it was full of lecherous men. They nursed beers and huddled in small groups, looking hungry for what was to come. They seemed old to Lily. But then, Lily was just eighteen, so everyone looked old. Loud music boomed from the stereo.
Lily felt their eyes on her. The bar patrons were clearly keeping an eye on any woman who entered. Lily felt a flutter in her chest, knowing what was in store.
Lily didn't think she was much to look at. She had a medium build, shoulder-length chestnut hair, and medium sized breasts. But the lechers would get better eye-candy than her. She would see to that.
Against the back wall were some padded chairs. They connected to a series of wires that fed into a video screen. This was a HoloLife, the latest in immersive VR technology. It had just hit the market and was the talk of the internet. Lily didn't have a clue how Jimmy had gotten his hands on one. He'd said something about it being "jailbroken," but Lily wasn't sure what he meant by that.
Over at the bar, Jimmy was polishing a glass. He waved to her as she approached. "Lily," he said warmly. "It's great to see you," he said.
Lily looked around the crowded bar. "Seems like word's gotten around about our deal," she said.
Jimmy put on a look of mock surprise. "I wouldn't dream of telling a soul," he said unconvincingly.
Lily smirked. "The more the merrier."
"You're the boss," said Jimmy. "And tonight, drinks are on the house." He pushed three cocktails in front of her.
Lily brought the cocktails back to a table near the back wall. Close to the HoloLife.
Just in time. The door opened to reveal her friend Tina.
Simply put, Tina was gorgeous. She was a diminutive Korean-American, barely reaching 5 feet tall. But somehow, despite her height, she was endowed with huge breasts. They were probably just a C-cup, but on her tiny frame they stood out deliciously.
Lily could almost hear the lust emanating off the lechers around her. And she felt the same way about Tina. Of course, she was always careful to avoid telling her friends she was Lesbian.
Tina was dressed for a weekend night. She wore a leather jacket, and underneath that a tiny black dress. As she unzipped her jacket, a large section of cleavage came into view. Her hair had been straightened and tied back.
She quickly spotted Lily and headed over to sit with her. As she sat, Lily pushed one of the cocktails in front of her.
"My heart was racing all the way over here. I can't believe we're going to do this," said Tina, taking a large sip from her cocktail. "I'm like, about to burst."
Lily smiled. Even as feisty as Tina was, she was worried that the girl would get cold feet. "I mean, she totally deserves it," said Lily.
Tina blushed. "Laurel is such a bitch," she said. "She's going to get what's coming to her." Somewhat red in the face, Tina bent down to take a sip of her cocktail. As she did, her dress fell forward and exposed a deep valley of brown cleavage.

Laurel was their friend. Well, sort of. 'Friend' implied that they all liked each other, and Lily wasn't sure if that was true anymore.
The incident had happened at a sun-drenched pool party. Tina had been lounging in the water. Laurel, willowy, blonde, and attached to the arm of some beefcake, had challenged her and some other guy to a chicken-fight. A chicken-fight was where the guys stood in the water and the girls, sitting on their shoulders, tried to push each other off.
Tina had been wearing a yellow bikini. Her nipples had stood out from the smooth material ever so slightly.
Several people lined up with cell phone cameras to capture the chicken-fight.
It had started with the usual splashing and pushing. Lily had been surreptitiously checking out her two friends' bodies when the unthinkable happened. Laurel nearly fell, but caught herself by grabbing the straps of Tina's bikini top. Rather than letting go, Laurel pulled harder until she'd yanked the yellow top clean off.
Tina, sitting up on the guy's shoulders, had been stripped topless for the whole party to see. Her large, brown melons had emerged gloriously into the sun. They were capped by small dark nipples. Eyes wide, Tina had screeched and covered her breasts with her hands.
Laurel hadn't shown any mercy. She'd run off with the bikini top, cackling.
Poor Tina had been topless, with nothing to cover herself except her small, dainty hands. Lily could still remember the tit-flesh spilling out from her small palms.
Lily had vowed to get revenge on Laurel. She had enlisted Lily, and Lily had been more than happy to help. After all, Lily knew a bartender who had somehow acquired a HoloLife. And Jimmy was very interested in having an attractive girl try out his toy.
--
Tina brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face. "I can't wait to see her face when she comes out of that HoloLife."
The door to the bar opened.
"Well you won't need to wait long," said Lily.
Like Tina, Laurel was undeniably beautiful. She was tall and lithe, with small breasts. She moved with the grace of a dancer. Her blonde hair fell to mid-back and her blue eyes glinted.
Like Tina, she was dressed for a night out. She wore white pants that clung to her slender legs like a second skin. Her sage-green top fastened behind her neck, showing off just a hint of side-boob. She clearly was not wearing a bra beneath it, and her nipples stood at attention in the cold bar.
She made her way over to Tina and Lily's table near the HoloLife machine. As she did, Lily watched the men around her. They were paying close attention to the girls now, undoubtedly wondering which would provide the show they had been promised.
"Ugh, it's such a sausage fest in here," Laurel griped. "Thank god it's only a pregame. I wouldn't want to spend my whole Friday night at this dump." She grabbed her cocktail and took a swig.
"I know," said Tina with a predatory smile that Laurel missed. "This place is packed with old creepy dudes. But we're here now. We should stay for a few drinks."
"Ugh, yeah whatever," said Laurel. "Anyways, how are you two doing! It's been forever since I've seen you....since the pool party I think?" Remembering, she grinned wickedly. "You're looking more clothed than I remember, Tina."
Tina gave a laugh which sounded almost genuine to Lily. "You're so funny," she said. "No hard feelings, it was a funny prank," she said.
Laurel smirked. She was used to getting off without any repercussions. "Glad to hear we're still friends," she said. She took a swig of her cocktail and eyed the HoloLife beside their table. "What's that?" she said with a mixture of curiosity and disgust.
Lily turned back, as if seeing the machine for the first time. "Oh, that's a HoloLife I think."
"No. Way," said Laurel. "One of those new..." she trailed off, looking for the word.
"Virtual reality machines," finished Lily. "But these are different. They're supposed to be totally immersive. When you're using one, you can feel, smell, and even taste the virtual world around you."
"A nerd like you would know that," said Laurel. But she said it without any venom, staring at the machine.
Of course, even Laurel had heard of the HoloLife technology. It was sending shockwaves through society as people scrambled to find uses for it. Perfectly immersive virtual reality could revolutionize so many parts of human life.
"Well, we have to try it out," said Laurel, swigging her cocktail. "I mean, no one's using it, right?"
"Well, I dunno," said Lily. "I guess I can ask the bartender?" she offered.
"Yeah, go do that," said Laurel.
Across from Lily, Tina was suppressing a devilish grin. The feisty Korean-American girl seemed like she was about to burst with excitement. She leaned forward and pulled Laurel into conversation as Lily stood up.
Lily walked up to the bar. As she did, she could feel the eyes of the collected perverts and lechers flit between her and the beautiful young ladies at the table. "Looks like we're running ahead of schedule," she said to Jimmy, when she reached the bar. "She's curious to try it out and asked herself."
Jimmy's face split into a smile. "Who's on the menu?" he asked.
"The blonde," said Lily.
Jimmy actually licked his lips. "Excellent," he said. "She's a fine looking one. I wonder what's underneath those clothes."
"You'll know soon enough," said Lily. "Everyone here will. Let's get her into the HoloLife."
"Yes ma'am," said Jimmy.
They walked back to the table and Lily sat down.
Jimmy stood by the table and clutched his hands in front of him, looking for all the world like an honest, kind bartender. "This young lady says you'd like to try out the HoloLife?" he asked Laurel.
Laurel beamed. "That's right. I want to go somewhere fun, like a party."
Jimmy gave a small smile. "I think that can be arranged," he said. "Please follow me."
He gestured to the HoloLife and Laurel stood and followed. All eyes in the bar were on them now.
Laurel sat down in one of the padded chairs, which Jimmy gently reclined. As he did, her silky blonde hair fell back, and her breasts curved upward proudly. Though small, they were framed delicately by the green top. Her erect nipples poked up through the thin material. She planted her feet on the ground. Underneath the white pants, she wore some strappy sandals and had painted her toes a dark red.
Jimmy attached some wires to her temples and the effect was immediate. Laurel slumped back in her chair.
--
As soon as the bartender put the wires on her head, Laurel's mind was filled with darkness. At first, she panicked at the all-encompassing nothingness.
