Madeline's bedroom was dark and silent. Her father had said good night to her and Elizabeth not long ago, but they weren't planning on sleeping anytime soon.
Madeline rolled over to face Elizabeth who had her side of the blankets pulled up to her eyeballs. They immediately locked eyes.
"Ready Liz??" Madeline inquired excitedly in a half whisper.
"As ready as I'll ever be, Maddy." Liz responded, attempting to sound unenthusiastic. It was all in good fun though.
"Alright! Let's get going." Maddy urged. The girls climbed out of bed and got dressed. Liz put on a light turquoise nightgown, and Maddy threw on a black graphic tee with a crying eye across the chest and some high rise cut-off jean shorts. Then, they got busy clumping pillows together into lumps underneath the sheets.
"Good enough." Maddy said to herself as she gave their handiwork a thumbs up. After they slipped on some cheap plastic dollar store flip-flops, Maddy grabbed a black canvas tote bag printed with the letters "NIN" in solid white, and slowly opened the bedroom window and motioned for Liz to climb through first. Maddy followed behind her, then slowly lowered the frame from the other side until it made silent contact with the windowsill. They crept gingerly through the back yard, their knees bent just enough to keep low to the ground until they were out of reach of the soft glow coming from the windows of Maddy's house. Maddy and Liz hopped over a stone fence ahead and descended down the hillside just behind it into the woods. A path ahead parted the trees and foliage, curving to the left and right as they progressed. They walked for what felt like almost a mile to Lizzie, Maddy briskly leading the way. Liz had to break into a half-jog several times to close the distance between them.
"So when are you going to finally tell me what your big surprise is out here?" Liz asked.
"I'm not." said Maddy, her voice mischievous and playful. "I'm just going to let you find out when it happens."
Elizabeth was growing impatient. Madeline had planned to bring her out to... whatever the hell this was going to be for weeks, yet she wouldn't reveal even the slightest hint in regards to what it entailed, two details bearing exception: One, it was deep in the forest behind her house, and Two, they were going to have the time of their lives.
"I swear to god Madeline, if this is just another one of your out of season April Fools pranks..." warned Lizzie, not entirely intending a threat.
Maddy halted and turned to face her friend. "Liz. Like I said, if you stick with me through this and try it, I promise you you're gonna love it. We are gonna have soooo much fun tonight."
Maddy ran ahead and pumped her fists into the air. "This is going to be the best girl's night out EVER!"
A little way further, Madeline and Elizabeth reached a clearing. A pond sparkled in the distance, illuminated by moonlight that pierced through the foliage above. The pond was enclosed by large smooth stones and nurtured by a gentle waterfall pouring into it from above. A tangle of leafy vines climbed up a large tree next to it, a few leaves looking like they had been munched on. Judging by the size of the bite marks, the creature had to be larger than they were -- no, larger than both of them put together.
"Wow!" gasped Lizzie "It's beautiful, Mads! I can see why you wanted to bring me out here so badly!"
"This isn't the surprise, you loon." Maddy bantered. She skipped up to the precipice, right where the stone footing ended and the water began.
"Alright," said Maddy, dropping the tote bag on the rock below. She turned around to face Lizzy. Criss-crossing her arms, she pulled her shirt up and over her head, and dropped it into the bag. "This is where we strip."
Lizzie's eyebrow raised in bewilderment. "Uhh... This is where we what, Maddy?"
Maddy was already unzipping her jean shorts as she replied. Liz saw that she was wearing a black sports bra and her favorite red tangas underneath. "Strip." Maddy repeated casually, "Y'know... Get naked? Wear your birthday suit? Go au naturel? Strip." The jean shorts fell down at Maddy's feet, before finding their way into the tote bag.
"Yeah! I know what that means!" Lizzie said, feigning annoyance, "I'm asking 'Why?' Are we going skinny dipping?"
"Oh... we're gonna do something way more exciting than skinny dipping, Liz." Maddy's hands reached behind her back, fingers unfastening the clasp of her bra. She worked her arms free from the straps, which now hung loosely at her sides before losing the bra entirely and placing it into the bag with the rest of her clothes.
Liz, still absorbing what was happening, continued guessing. "We gonna give Matthew a show down here or something?"
"Hell no!" Maddy exclaimed as she bent forward, "We broke up. Good riddance too. His bedroom game was--" Maddy let out a faux yawn between words, "--sooooo underwhelming." She pulled her panties down, then kicked them up with her right foot to grab them.
"When did this happen?!" Liz asked in surprise.
"Monday." Madeline smiled. "And tonight, I'm gonna celebrate!" With bent knees, she swayed her hips and raked her fingers up through her curly red hair with a bit of a dance. The moonlight really worked wonders on Maddy's figure, Liz had to admit. The girl had curves. Matthew was missing out, big time.
Liz frowned in puzzlement. "I thought you liked him... He seemed nice."
"Ha!" Maddy cawed. "If by nice you mean 'boring as hell', then yes, he was very nice. Now are you gonna take your clothes off with me, or are you just gonna leave me hanging here?"
Lizzie rubbed her left arm, hesitating. She didn't feel embarrassed about exposing her body to her closest friend. They had seen each other in the nude many times before, even commenting freely on each others bodies without the slightest hint of embarrassment ensuing. But here, they were deep in a strange forest late at night. The unfamiliarity combined with the thought of running into would-be voyeurs down here kept Liz from feeling comfortable enough to shed her clothing.
"What if somebody sees us Maddy?" Liz asked warily.
"I have been out here like, a hundred times, Liz. I've never run into anybody out here." She turned to an imaginary audience, apparently seated in front of the waterfall. "Naked girl alert!" Maddy mocked. She jiggled her breasts with the palms of her hands cupping them underneath, "Come jerk off to my huge ghost milkies, boys!!" She shouted.
'Ghost Milkies' was a humorous nickname Maddy had gleefully adopted from Liz. It had originated from a night they spent together last year on Halloween over at Lizzie's place. In a state of undress, Liz had commented on how light and pale Maddy's areolas were, calling them 'ghost titties'. Maddy snorted with laughter at the statement -- spraying chocolate milk everywhere -- and seemed to derive infinite amusement from the description going forward, even adopting it as a handle in some form for semi-private online accounts used for forums and gaming. At some point, Maddy's wordage underwent a change from "Ghost Titties" to "Ghost Milkies", much to Lizzie's confoundment. Her undying enthusiasm for this new -- less than modest -- moniker, was so great that Liz couldn't help but to begin rolling her eyes in mild annoyance at the frequency of which Maddy would reference it. It was funny once, twice, perhaps even thrice, but little more beyond that as far as she was concerned. Her large chested friend, however, felt differently.
"See? The coast is clear." Maddy confirmed.
"I dunno..." said Liz, unconvinced. "I'd be more comfortable if I knew what I was getting naked for, but that seems to be the one thing you won't share."
"Not for long though Lizzie!!" Maddy assured. "C'mon! Slide those panties off and show me that body of yours! That is... if you're even wearing any."
"Not until you tell me what the big event is." Lizzie insisted.
"It'll just be so much easier if I just let it explain itself, Liz."
Suddenly, the ground shook with faint stomps that were growing from the distance, from deeper in the forest ahead.
"I think this might be our big reveal." Maddy said with her head turned to the source of the noise. "C'mon!" She led the way once again for Lizzie, one arm holding her tote bag, the other, her voluptuous 'ghost milkies'.
Lizzie trailed close behind her friend, who was wearing nothing but her flip-flops now. Maddy was such a daredevil. Liz wished she could have a share of Maddy's confidence, particularly when it came to her own body image and relationship with the boys. She didn't find herself unattractive, but Maddy was so brazen and fearless, she felt inadequate by comparison. Madeline was extremely desirable and knew it. It didn't help that guys, whether on the internet or in school, seemed to only ever idolize the kind of body Maddy had been gifted with from the fertility gods and goddesses above. It felt unfair that petite girls like herself seemed to so often get left behind in the dust by the male gaze.
The trees broke into another clearing. Madeline slowed to a halt and crouched behind some shrubs and signaled for Elizabeth to do the same.
There, just yards away, a huge hulking creature took in nourishment from an adjacent brook with a long tongue like an anteater's.
Liz stared in fearful astonishment at the brute. What was this thing? It didn't look like any kind of animal she had ever seen before. Its limbs were stout with muscle mass, each with a few massive stubby appendages at their ends. Its body was golden orange, but faded into a solid pink at it's undercarriage. Its head was swaddled by a mane, bearing large blue eyes.
"Oh fuck..." Maddy whispered in awe. "He's even bigger than the one from last time." Liz could sense some nervousness in Maddy's voice, which only heightened the same feeling within herself.
Without taking her eyes off of the bulky mammoth, Maddy placed the tote on the ground and pulled out a mason jar, full of pink goop. She quickly unscrewed the lid, and dipped her fingers in just enough to pull out as much as she wanted. The stuff was pungent with an unusual fruity aroma Liz couldn't quite place. The goo on Maddy's fingers clung to the collected mass in the jar. She severed the tie with her free hand and then, crouched in a squatting position, began to rub it onto her pussy.
"Maddy!" Lizzie exclaimed in an aggressive whisper. "What the fuck are you doing?!"
"Okay," Madeline said, looking her friend in the eye as she continued rubbing the slime onto herself. "Don't be scared by what you're about to see. I've done this before. Many times. It's probably in my top five favorite things to do of all time. Maybe THE favorite, I dunno. But nobody's ever watched me do this before. It might look like it hurts. I'm probably going to scream." She glanced back over at the feral beast. "No, scratch that. I AM going to scream. Loudly. But trust me, I know what I'm doing, and I love it." Her eyes rolled and her eyelids fluttered on the word 'love'. She looked down towards her crotch. She dipped her fingers into the jar again and brought another helping of slime to her pussy and pushed as much of it as she could into her vagina with her middle and ring fingers, catching what began dripping out with her free hand. She rubbed the rest onto her inner and outer labia, and then, once she was content, stood up. Madeline inhaled through her nose and let out a slow deep breath through barely parted lips.
"Watch and learn." Maddy said to her terrified friend with one last look and winked before leaving the coverage of the brush, carefully approaching the beast ahead with a slight bend in her knees.
Lizzie's heart began beating faster. Maddy looked like hers was too.
"Hey big guy." Maddy greeted the monster cautiously with a soft voice.
The monster turned and looked at her as it continued swallowing the water it had been gulping.
"Yeah... How's it going? You wanna have some fun?" Maddy said with a low, gentle voice. "I do. You look like you'd be a LOT of fun."
