There were eight dildos arranged on a central table, assorted in size and shape, but each made of blue rubber and stood with glowing strips spiralling from base to tip. The room was plain and not especially large, with white tiled floors and a mirror at head height running around the perimeter of the white walls. The mirror was barely long enough to see down to one's shoulders, and only served to draw the eyes even more to the table of dildos. There was a single sealed steel door on one side of the room and eight unlit LED lights above it. The only other entrance was the three large holes set into the ceiling on the other side of the room, with a large white mesh padding built into the floor beneath it.
The steady roar of running water was barely audible overhead, but above ground the thrashing of water and screams was abundant, as one person after the next came careening down from on high, exiting slides at speed and each gracelessly discarded in the large outdoor pool. A group of young friends finished packing their lockers with their belongings, each in their swimsuits chatting earnestly, but unable to decide which slide to go on first. Some of the girls were intent on trying the Triple-Racer, so they could go down at the same time and compete to reach the end fastest, but the others couldn't be convinced - a few of the guys had their heart set on the Kamikazee while the queues were short, and others wanted to start with the rapids.
It seemed most thought best to split up, but Dina squeezed her boyfriend's hand, having hoped he would stay with her. Fond as she was of Josh, he did seem to gravitate towards time with the boys over her friends in the little time they had been dating.
"You can come with us to the Kamikazee if you want?" He asked her quietly, but friends noticed her hesitation even if they hadn't overheard the question, and she could feel eyes on her awaiting a decision.
"It's fine, we'll do the Triple-Racer first and meet you all after." Dina blurted, looking at the two girls and smiling. She didn't know why she had said that, because she actually did want to join him, and he gave her a dubious look before nodding, pecking her on the cheek and heading off.
Disappointment lingered as Dina followed her friend Kelsey who recounted stories of the last time she had been on the ride while leading them there. They had known each other a long time, and Dina had always found her effortlessly charming, finding herself brightening up as they chatted. Both in their mid-twenties, Kelsey seemed to wear it better, with a calm maturity that often surprised those that made the mistake of judging the pale, freckled blonde with glimmering green eyes. With the air of someone sure of themself, she walked with purpose, talked with passion and pace, whilst sharing little. Dina often found herself spending whole afternoon's with Kelsey, laughing heartily but none the wiser as to anything going on in her life. Right now, none in the group were even sure if she was dating someone, where she was currently living or her job, and yet she was able to effortlessly sustain conversation; for the time being complimenting one another's swimsuits seemed to be the focus, openly inviting other queuing women in on their dialogue.
The two of them had a similar build growing up, but where Dina had caught an affinity for gymnastics and grown leaner, Kelsey had curves and an ample bosom which was complimented especially well in her high-waisted navy-striped bikini, the blue rope of her bikini-top running up her collar-bone to a bow behind her neck. It even matched the blue shade of her nails. Her light hair was swirled into a large bun, whilst Dina had opted to put her short dark hair into two bunches on either side of her head. She thought the pigtails looked cute this morning, but now it felt a bit childish.
Kelsey always felt especially pale next to Dina, who's beautiful natural brown skin might have passed for a tan to the untrained eye. Her black two-piece fitted her well too, complimenting the thickness of her pert bottom more so than her modest chest. While all three of the girls were pretty, Dina's face had always been naturally beautiful, with catlike dark eyes, a small nose and full lips as if carefully proportioned by grand design.
Yet, it was Sade that caught the attention of most as they walked by. The third girl had long legs, slender thighs and dark skin which as always was fashionably furnished, today with a reddish-orange bikini studded with seashells along the hem. It was actually refreshing not to see her heavily accessorised with fine bracelets, designer sunglasses, expensive shoes and elegant coats. Still, her nails were all of course flawlessly white, with white seashell earrings and silver seashell piercing nestled in her belly-button. Dina didn't even have her nails painted at the moment, so somehow even with the practical challenges of the waterpark, she felt underdressed next to her friends.
Sade was the type of gorgeous that people could hardly believe when they saw her, as if this level of perfection had no place existing outside the pages of a magazine. It was immediately apparent to all that she was athletic, but with the benefit of her minimal clothing, today it was especially evident. Her tight abdomen garnered nearly as much attention as the shine of her disarming smile. Exuding a bubbly giggly sensibility, the crowd she drew could be attributed in equal part to her looks and congeniality.
Quite the contrast to the other girls, Sade was an open book, freely sharing the innermost details of her life with complete strangers; content to be the centre of attention in a way that Dina could hardly fathom. Though Sade was never one to cloy for the spotlight, it fell upon her often, with flirtation welcomed indiscriminately.
Reaching the front of the queue, the girls watched as the trio in front launched down the slides simultaneously, sent downwards into the three dark tubes screaming with glee. As their cries faded, Dina, Kelsey and Sade took their places, lying on their backs in the loud running water. The powerful stream pummelled their slim shoulders as they waited for the circular red light above to change to green on the entrances to their respective slides.
They patiently interlaced their fingers behind their necks as the diagram commanded. However, as they waited, the platform they were lying on was taking readings from various sensors on the surface, conferring with a suite of cameras and processors to undertake a series of calculations about the girls' dimensions. An algorithm issued approval, setting a number of switches and motors into motion before presenting the girls with green lights. Within an instant, each had thrust themselves into the dark tunnels where all light vanished and they descended immediately into dark tubes firing them off in different directions, the slides snaking around one another to the bottom.
Their momentum had them swinging from one side to another, building speed steadily. With each splash on her face, Dina tried to remind herself to enjoy it, hearing Kelsey pass overhead giggling, and a while later a screech she was sure must be Sade's squeals of joy. It went on longer than she expected, continuing a while after she was sure she must have hit the bottom, eventually flattening in such a way Dina was sure she would soon see a circle of sunlight denoting the slide's end. Instead as she lost the majority of her speed, she felt her feet suddenly meet a solid surface.
Now at a complete stop, she confusedly pressed her feet around in the dark to find it was a wall, reaching out her hands to find a similar flat panel of plastic had somehow appeared above her head where she had just come from. What felt like drain holes beneath her allowed the water to trickle away and no current replaced it. Before she could even register that she should panic in the small dark space, Dina's body was struck with blasts of warm air from vents above. Flailing in the dark for a matter of seconds before she was dry, the floor beneath her fell open into sudden light as she dropped awkwardly onto a large mesh padding alongside Kelsey and Sade.
