The sun shined bright on a mid summer’s day with a crisp, cool breeze washing over the coast. A small but dazzling beach led up and into a modest park. The reserved section of one to be more accurate; complete with dozens of people of varying ages loitering around a pair of aged picnic areas. Some sat atop worn oak tables while others enjoyed walking through the natural paths while others still amused themselves along the shore. For today at least the employees of R.E.I. could relax it seemed, people of all walks of life enjoying themselves in the humid midday heat. It was a chance for them all to celebrate their hard work over the prior months and to return to work the next week reinvigorated - and better yet it was all on the company dime. 

Though not all were quite out and about yet. Nestled away in between some trees and thick shrubbery stood a bathroom facility, and standing just outside of it was a sinewy red-haired woman. She was tall, her figure trim and impressive as she leisurely leaned against a wall in a navy blue two-piece swimsuit. It was with a sigh that she ran her fingers through the back of a ponytail and peered into the doorway. Looking quite annoyed. 

“Come on Tina…! Are you done yet?” The woman, Amy, bemoaned. 

“Almost!” Came the shrill reply of another from within the bathroom.

“Good grief.” Amy rolled her eyes. Adorable as they often were, at times her friend’s social anxieties could absolutely get old. Especially when the promise of free food and fun on the beach was literally right there. Alas, all she could do was grumble and tap a foot incessantly.

“Okay, I think I have it on right!”

“Well then stop stalling and let’s see it!” Amy said as she turned and took a couple steps towards the doorway, catching the shadow of a figure that emerged from within. 

Tina was...a lot of things. She was a mousy, awkward, often nervous, and absolute dork of a woman with the most conservative fashion sense Amy had ever seen. Though in her own way she was also quite charming. A woman short in stature but gigantic in heart and with a figure many would kill for thanks to a lifetime of exercise and some fortunate genetics. Not that one would ever guess with her self-esteem issues, but that was quite alright. That was what Amy was for. Someone there to push the little nerd out of her comfort zone once in a while. 

The results rarely, if ever, disappointed. 

Tina, to put it lightly, looked fantastic. Her features definitely skewed towards the cuter side with a petite, rounded face framed by messy brown hair and hidden behind a pair of thick round-rimmed glasses. The rest, however, walked a fine line between that same adorable charm and a very sensual allure. She was by nature a shapely woman; her figure a display of generous curves smoothed out by a toned, visibly muscular physique. A physique almost constantly hidden behind frumpy, oversized clothing - but not today. Amy had made certain of that. 

And yet, despite such a marbled body Amy couldn’t help but let out a short laugh. 

In this case it wasn’t anything Tina had done so much as what she had opted to wear. The shorter woman had opted for a flattering black two-piece of her own. Unlike Amy’s, however, it was a halter top with a pair of very form-fitting bloomers; all draped under a cardigan so thin it resembled a veil. By itself a wonderfully sexy piece of swimwear - were it not for the cutesy design’s of a cat’s face prominently featured on each of Tina’s breasts. Complete with pointed ear protrusions and bright white whiskers. 

It was such a jarring juxtaposition of childishly cute and legitimately attractive that it...Well, it suited Tina perfectly honestly. 

“Well…?” Tina asked, shuffling awkwardly in place with a nervous blush.

There was a temptation to tease the adorably lewd brunette but Amy bit back the urge, instead simply smiling with a supportive nod.“You look great. Waaaaay better than that...thing you were gonna come here in before.”

“Hey! It was cute!” Tina pouted.

“My grandma wouldn’t have been caught dead in that thing.” Amy laughed. “I like this one though. Never would’ve pegged you for a cat lady.”

Tina glanced down, a pair of feline faces staring dead ahead of her. “You don’t think it’s a bit much? I mean it makes my boobs look huge…”

“Your boobs are huge.” The redhead pointed out. “And now it feels like they’re staring at me. Like I can pull out a laser pointer and just...Hm?” Movement from Tina’s bosom caught Amy’s attention, the woman falling silent as she focused on it. “Did...Did your swimsuit just move?”

“No, why?” 

The response was much too fast. Curiosity began to slide into suspicion, Amy’s eyes narrowing thoughtfully.

She didn’t...

Silently, she took three steps until she stood before Tina. Her friend tensed, she noticed, almost wincing as Amy’s hand rose and flicked the front of one of Tina’s breasts. The skin recoiled with a brief jiggling motion and Tina let out a surprised ‘eep’ noise. As well as a far smaller cry from below where Amy’s finger had struck.

“You brought Evie, didn't you?”

“N...No…?”

“Tina…” Amy let out a heavy sigh.

Tina lifted her gaze with a fresh fluster warming her cheeks, big wide eyes pleading. “I...I was just so nervous, and I didn’t wanna leave her home alone anyway so I…”

“So you stuffed her in your tits as a little pick-me-up and hoped I wouldn’t notice.” Amy finished. Tina could only shamefully nod in reply before her friend groaned, running her fingers through her hair. “Alright, let’s see her then.”

There was a hint of protest in Tina’s expression, the woman eventually complying anyway after checking to make sure nobody was watching. Fortunately, Amy’s taller frame made for a bit of a barrier as she pulled her top back ever so, indeed revealing the pitiful form of Tina’s personal plaything  pinned between the pillowy soft mass of a breast and the velvety swimsuit. Amy leaned forward, confirming the lesser creature for herself. 

Yep, that was Tina’s old boss alright.

The story of how Eva Rhodes, a former VP for R.E.I., had ended up a tiny pet to her own assistant was a long and complicated one. One even Amy didn’t know every detail for, but it also hardly mattered. Right now they were at a company retreat and the shortstack ‘genius’ brought her little secret right to where all the wrong people could find out. Looking down at the nude, raven-haired woman trapped against Tina’s bosom, Amy only saw one big headache beginning to brew. 

In typical Evie fashion, as soon as the woman had a break she began to glower at the two immense faces lording above her and started squeaking her usual protests. How they couldn’t do this to her. How she’d get back to normal. Yadda Yadda Yadda. Tina might’ve paid it some attention but Amy could frankly care less. She stepped back and Tina released her top, the material snapping firmly back into place and effectively silencing Evie’s cries.

“Well, too late to bitch about it now I guess.” Amy sighed. “I don’t have to tell you to keep her on the downlow right? If anyone sees her-”

“I know. I know.” Tina interjected. “That’s part of the reason why I got this top.  It’s such a tight fit on my chest that she’ll stay nice and snug!”

Amy didn’t bother pointing out the obvious solution of never bringing the shrunken woman in the first place. Or why she was carrying her on her person and not in a, you know, bag. How Tina could be so brazen when it came to Evie but nearly flip out over the idea of wearing a swimsuit was a perplexing thing; but in the end what Tina got off on was none of her business. She was more interested in the research data Evie could provide as a living shrunken specimen - And in making sure nobody realized R.E.I’s shrinking tech was used to basically kidnap a person. Even when that person was an absolute bitch like Eva, that tended not to end well for anyone involved.

Plus she was a sucker for puppy eyes, and Tina had them on full blast. 

“Alright, just...Try not to freak. We can mingle for a few hours, avoid anything too iffy, and then-”

“There you guys are! I’ve been lookin’ all over for you!”

The sudden third voice nearly made Amy and Tina jump out of their skin. There was no mistaking it. A jovial tone with the slightest subtle hint of a subtle drawl. One that belonged to, without a doubt, one of the worst possible people who could find Evie. 

“H-Hi Dana.”

“Hey D.” Amy said as she turned, offering a wave to an older blonde woman who was fast approaching. One dressed in an incredibly tight-fit lace up swimsuit and an oversized sun hat. Tina and Amy both balked at the image of her. A towering mass of thick, bouncing curves with...essentially nothing left to the imagination. Amy felt a twang of pity for the dark-green fabric that strained against a body perhaps two sizes too big for it. 

The blonde came to a stop in front of the pair. She cut an impressive figure. Not just physically, but in personality as well. Dana was one who had been with R.E.I. for many years; one of the privileged few who was there near the beginning and had helped build the company into what it was today. A woman aging gracefully through her twilight years, the wear and tear of a lifetime countered by the mature, almost maternal beauty she meticulously maintained. She was both a dear friend and a good person to the two. Friendly. Intelligent. Resourceful...

She was also the company CEO and Eva’s best friend.

So...Suffice to say this was not ideal. 

“I swear, if I didn’t know any better I’d think you two were tryin’ to hide from me.” Dana laughed. “What’re y’all doing hiding out over here? You know the food’s almost done right?” She said, gesturing towards a trio of older men near a smoking grill a couple picnic areas over.

Amy could sense the tension radiating from Tina at her side. Yeah, she couldn’t count on that one to talk her way out of this. Looked like it was up to her to resolve this. Again. “Nah, nothing like that.” She replied. “Just trying to build Tina up over here. She’s all nervous wearing her swimsuit in public. You know her.” Not...untrue necessarily.

Dana frowned, eyes turning towards the shorter brunette. “How many times do I gotta tell ya girl, you look awesome! God knows you could stand to be a little flashier in the office.” She smirked. “And the swimsuit looks lovely.”

“T-Thank you Miss Moore.” Tina stuttered out.

“Hey now, none of that. Just Dana.”

There was a shy nod with a warm smile from Amy’s side. “Right, sorry Dana.” Tina said, adjusting her glasses. “Old habits I guess.”

“That’s more like it!” Dana cheered with a broad grin and patted Tina’s back. Well, perhaps that was the intent but it sounded off more like a smack, catching the shorter woman unawares as she nearly stumbled. A fairly typical display from the two of them as far as Amy could see. Good. Typical was just what they needed to play this off. 

Dana looked between the two with a bright smile and smacked Amy’s shoulder as well, keeping her grip on the two of them“You two don’t be strangers alright? I still gotta do the rounds with the rest of the folks here, but join me for food when it’s done?”

“Sure.”

“You got it Boss.”

“Awesome!”

And thus, as quickly as she had arrived Dana was off. A veritable force of nature incarnate. Amy let out a relieved breath as they appeared to avoid a worst case scenario.

“Can she...wear a swimsuit like that to a company retreat?” Tina asked.

“You wanna be the one to tell the CEO no?”

“Good point.”

After a moment’s silence the two friends shared a laugh, each shaking their heads in disbelief. As they began to stop Tina blinked and felt around her chest, eyes widening. That headache Amy felt brewing before was coming; she knew it as soon as she saw Tina’s face drop. The brunette suddenly turned with panic in her eyes, saying exactly what her taller friend feared she would. 

“She...She’s gone!”

------------

Eva loathed what her life had become. Ever since her reduction and subsequent capture by Tina, humiliating games had become a constant in her day to day. She was routinely teased, stepped on, toyed with, and so very much more; but through it all she never lost hope that she could escape. That she could turn it around and get someone’s attention and reverse what had been done to her.

Today it seemed that a chance had at last presented itself.

She was prepared for the worst when she woke up to Tina tossing her into a small purse. “Ugh, what now?” Eva had asked as she was tossed and turned like one of the many assorted items within the cramped back. Eventually, when the purse was opened and light finally did filter in, she was granted a brief respite as her tormentress set her aside while changing into some childish swimsuit. It wasn’t to last sadly. Once she was dressed Tina turned and rather unceremoniously lifted Eva and pushed her into the depths of her bosom, adjusting until Eva was where she wanted her to be. 

Not even a minute into her new prison stay had Eva grown to utterly despise it. Soft pale skin completely had her crushed into Tina’s top, Eva’s body squished nicely into a pink areola the size of a large table. It constantly rubbed at Eva and every step sent the giant’s oversized bust bouncing defiantly against the constraints of her outfit. Eva could scarcely move while the giantess up above chatted with that bimbo redhead friend of hers. Even so, she was not deterred. She clawed at and against the encroaching wall of skin, hands sinking into voluptuous softness in a futile bid to create an opening and escape - Or at the very least draw attention to where she was. This company retreat was the perfect opportunity to finally put an end to this farce. If only she could break free. Despite her best attempts and even a brief check in from the two giants inspecting her, Eva had no such luck. 

As it would turn out, she would have help from a most unexpected source.

Even before Eva’s unfortunate reduction Dana was always something of a force of nature. When she set her mind to it, it almost seemed as though the woman could bend the earth itself to suit her needs - a talent now used to Eva’s benefit. Despite her best efforts otherwise, the towering blonde hadn’t seemed to notice Eva’s struggles; but there was a consolation prize of sorts: a mighty smack against Tina’s back. A motion that sent the giantess staggering, her body jerking suddenly as a thin opening in her top presented itself. That very same impact also sent Eva’s minuscule body soaring upwards and...Well. She threaded the needle so to speak. 

Setting aside how sad it was that a giant could accidentally manage what Eva had been fervently trying to do for almost half an hour, the shrunken woman felt a wave of relief as freedom was finally hers. Though she wasn’t out of the woods yet. No less than three titanesses surrounded her, each one an unstoppable monster in their own right. Their attention all seemed focused on the tallest of their number thankfully, everyone looking up to Dana and notably not down towards where Eva fell. 

Their conversation continued on in blissful ignorance, gigantic voices rumbling with the power and presence brought about through sheer size. All the while Eva descended through the air in front of Tina’s immeasurably massive body. Then it finally happened.  A sudden pivot on her part sent Tina’s arm smacking right into her tiny plaything, the impact forcibly knocking Eva in the direction of the towering blonde giant nearby. 

It was...not a painless landing. As soft as her well-endowed friend looked, it proved to be anything but upon impact. Eva handled the crash into her friend’s hip about as well as a car would a brick wall. Every inch of her body ached as she let out a low groan, blinking away dots in her vision.  Gravity began to drag her down the length of Dana’s hip and she scrambled for something to hold onto. Eva clawed at the black cloth of the swimsuit, her desperation and fight for her life juxtaposed to the banal chatter echoing up above. 

A conversation which, incidentally, appeared to have concluded.

Dana turned far faster than anything at her scale ever had a right to. Torrential winds assailed Eva from all sides as she desperately clung to her friend’s struggling swimsuit. Trembling fingertips dug their way into the dark fabric, Eva barely holding on. She had managed to endure the first of many steps. Though there was no rest as Dana’s large hips swayed and threatened to cast Eva aside again. And again. Each smack of her sandals against the ground sounded off like an explosion. A constant reminder that Eva wasn’t out of the woods yet. Even so she couldn’t help but laugh. She had done it.

She had finally escaped.

Every step her friend took now only served to put Tina and Amy’s gargantuan frames further into the distance. The idiots hadn’t even noticed she had gotten away. It was over! It was finally over! Now all she had to do was get Dana’s attention and then she could get her restored and-

Fw-ip~!

The world was a fickle and unfair place. Eva had read that once somewhere. Now the quote came to mind as fate seemed determined to throw her yet another curveball. She could almost hear the snicking of some sort of cosmic maestro orchestrating her struggles. All Dana had done was shift her hip a hair faster than she had been. That was all, and yet it was enough to send Eva careening off of her body like a flea. 

“Wah- No no no no no!” The woman both cursed and screamed in surprise, arms flailing as now even her savior continued to move on without her. Dana crossed dozens of feet with every step, never so much as glancing in Eva’s direction. She was indeed akin to a force of nature. Sudden, powerful, and most importantly unpredictable. Just as quickly as she had come she was now gone; leaving Eva to collapse and wallow in the dirt. She managed to pick herself up just in time to see her friend and CEO of the company already a blur in the distance.

It appeared Eva was now on her own. 

After a moment’s rest she picked herself up and surveyed her new surroundings. Thick forests of grass walled off the spaces around her with bits of sand intermittent amidst the dirt. The sand was odd until Eva recalled the outfits everyone wore. They must’ve been near a beach of some sort. Close enough  at least that she now stood where one terrain began to shift into another. Beyond the boundaries of towering blades of grass she also noted countless looming giants all around. Men and women she recognized and a great many she did not, all dressed in casual summer wear if not outright swimsuits. In one direction there seemed to be a growing abundance of trees and a number of figures surrounding a grill and happily conversating. In the other was a clear blue sky and more of the people in swimwear. A park one way and a beach in the other it seemed.

Of course, Eva’s view was soon blocked as a pair of younger workers soon filled the skyline. A man and woman, both enjoying each other’s company and very much not paying any attention down below. Both sets of sandals rose and fell in unison, rising above Eva and casting stark shadows over her. Her body moved before she fully processed it, Eva desperately leaping out of the man’s instep and landing...right into the woman’s.

There was no time to pick herself up again before the worn sandal sole came down, crushing the dirt and Eva with a loud, agonizing crunch. The countless tonnes of weight of a giant all fell upon Eva, the pressure all but flattening her for a single brutal instant before releasing. It was only by the nature of her reduction that Eva wasn’t reduced to a mere stain, but that didn’t make it hurt any less. Up above the woman let out a giggle at something her friend had said, the two of them moving on and leaving Eva in the imprint of a footprint. 

“Uggggh….…” She groaned. 

So long as she was hidden in the grass she couldn’t count on anyone seeing her; and while her reduction had left Eva more durable than most, that wasn’t something she cared to repeat. She needed to get someone’s attention and fast, and that wasn’t going to happen while she sat around here between grass as tall as buildings. What she needed was a nice open space where she would stand out. Like say...a beach. 

Her destination set, Eva hurriedly made for the direction of the open sky and people clad in swimsuits. A painfully long journey given her size, but at least not so much so that it was impossible. Her greatest obstacles proved to be the ignorant footfalls of giants; which she had to avoid a number of times as she made her way. She crossed through the tundra of dirt and dense pockets of tree-like grass until it all began to thin out. Firm dirt began to give way to far more pliant and, it had to be said, scorching hot sand. Eva winced as it burned at her bare feet, the dark-haired woman toughing it out as she pushed on into the wide open coastline.

Now the question was...what next?

With her view no longer obfuscated by nature she could see the water far ahead and a number of people idly playing in it. Absolutely not. Eva thought to herself. The ocean was suicide at her scale; which limited her options to...a group playing volleyball in one direction and a number of people having fun talking or wandering the sands in the other. Eva weighed her options, her size rendering them all awful in various ways. Each and every person here was a colossus who could potentially crush her. Whether in ignorance or...out of malice.

BOOM...BOOM…BOOOM…

With a shudder Eva couldn’t help but note the constant cycle of powerful footsteps all around her. Some softer. Some louder. All of them equally terrifying. It was a world of giants and she was very much not one. All the more reason to hurry. She searched around, half expecting to turn to see another foam sandal sole barreling towards her. They were not, thankfully; however, she did spy a familiar figure much to her chagrin.

Tina, in all her slight but gigantic glory, was heading in her direction. Her eyes were desperately scanning the ground, her reason rather painfully obvious. Eva grimaced, the very sight of her tormentress enough to send a nervous pulse down her spine. She couldn’t go back - she wouldn’t. So she had to hurry. It was now a race to see who would find Eva first: her saviors or her captors. With that in mind, she ran with renewed determination in the direction of a trio idly talking along the beach.

It was little more than a modest little stretch of shoreline, but for one at Eva’s scale it was akin to traversing a desert. Her feet sank into the sweltering dunes and sapped at her strength with every step. The sun was merciless, beating down on her as she ran; and unlike the privileged giants up above she didn’t have the luxury of the ocean to cool her down. All Eva could do was scramble as Tina drew closer and closer, her steps in particular echoing loudly in the woman’s mind. No, she couldn’t panic. It would be fine. She had a massive headstart and Tina was essentially searching for a needle in a haystack. The odds were in Eva’s favor.

WHAM!

The timing was so perfect it almost seemed like divine ordinance. Just as she had psyched herself up a massive white volleyball struck Eva from the sky. It whisked through the air akin to a meteor and crashed with just as much explosive force, Eva suddenly crushed and buried all at once beneath the sphere in a fresh crater.

“Oop- Sorry!” Came the voice of a man. 

Even buried, Eva felt the giant’s steps quaking the ground beneath her as he hurried over, picking the building-sized ball up with ease. Eva had been this close to reaching her goal. Instead, she was smashed into the side of a ball as the man turned and made for his playing field. He shifted it in his hands, palm catching Eva and squishing into her. “Hmm?” It didn’t go unnoticed, but, lest Eva get her hopes up, the man’s fingers merely swiped her off of the surface like errant dirt. He most likely assumed she was some bug that had gotten struck - Not exactly wrong. Regardless, with that he had effortlessly sent Eva plummeting back into the dunes below, her progress not only undone but now in the negatives. 

“Ugh...Damn it all…” She cursed as she picked herself back up. Again. Why did everything have to be so damned complicated at this size? All she needed was to get just one person to notice her! Was that so hard?!

While she recovered, the ground shook once again as a pair of feet crashed not far from Eva. A wave of sand blasted over her and forced the woman to shield herself, the sudden sandstorm dying quickly to reveal a pair of dainty bare feet in black flip-flops.

Dainty, very familiar feet.

Oh no…

Eva dared to look up. Up the familiar marbled legs and familiar thick thighs and past the familiar chiseled abdominals and beyond the familiar child-like halter top. Right into a pair of familiar eyes behind a set large round-rimmed glasses. Eyes that were staring right down at her in a mixture of surprise and relief. 

Luck had favored Tina it seemed. 

They locked eyes for only a moment, the situation dawning on them both in that same instant. In the very next Eva took off running and Tina lifted her foot, the foam sole of her sandal cutting off the smaller woman suddenly and crushing a large dune flat. Cursing under her breath, Eva spun on her heel and dashed in a new direction to much the same result. It was a constant scramble of running and trying to climb steep hills of sand. Whereas all the giantess needed to do was lift her foot and bring it down a few inches this or that way. For her it was effortless, but even if escape was impossible Eva refused to give in.

It was probably a stupid thing, not that Tina seemed to mind. Her relief had given way to a soft, smug smile as she was content to drag this out. One could almost see the sick pleasure in her eyes. The same light behind her pupils that she always had when toying with Eva. It made the smaller woman sick to her stomach; but what could she do? She couldn’t...She just couldn’t let herself get dragged back to hell. She wouldn’t. Though time and again her path was cute off by the wall of Tina’s foot. It could’ve ended at any point, and Tina seemed intent on making that painfully clear. No matter what, Eva was doomed. 

Then came an angel.

“Oh hey Tina!” A female voice called out, making the brown-haired giant jump out of her skin. She was forced to look away from her prolonged game and instead divert her attention towards another young brunette. A stranger to Eva, but one she could’ve kissed for what she had done. With her tormentress distracted, Eva seized the chance and darted between Tina’s feet. Even had the giantess noticed, it wasn’t as though she could do anything without drawing attention towards Eva. It was perfect!

High above her, Eva saw the veneer of smug confidence crumble away and all of Tina’s nervous habits coming back in full force. Each moment was another few feet of distance between Eva and that monster, and she knew it. Though the stranger hadn’t seemed to notice; or at least couldn’t discern Tina’s tension as any different from her usual awkwardness. She was happily chatting away, effortlessly batting aside any of Tina’s awkward attempts to dismiss her. It was the best break Eva could’ve ever hoped for.

She made for the safety of the grass, the foliage serving as an ideal place to hold out and hide until Tina lost her trail. So she ran. For minute after painstaking minute she ran. Sweat laced her body and her heart pounded, but Eva ran. This was her one chance. She couldn’t let it end like this! As the sands began to shift into a more solid ground again she breathed in deep and exhaled, picking up the pace with a second wind.

BOOM!!!!!!

Then, so suddenly Eva couldn’t have predicted it, a pair of tan bare feet cut her off. A lineup of ten thick, blue-painted toes dug into the dirt directly ahead of her, Eva smacking into a big toe with no real time to react. With a grunt she stumbled back, falling to the ground. 

Had she finally gotten lucky? Had someone finally seen her?

Just as she dared to hope, Eva’s gaze swept up the length of the person’s body. A woman it appeared; with a lean, fit physique. Not unlike Tina but taller. A dark-blue swimsuit clung tightly to her tall frame as she leaned forward and locked eyes with Eva, the shrunken woman met with a familiar face framed by long red hair.

Of all the odds…

This time it was Amy who had found her. 

For a second it seemed a repeat of what had happened with Tina was about to play out. The giant’s foot rose, bits of dirt falling from her fair skin and raining over Eva as she got ready to run again. The difference, however, was this giant had no interest in dragging this out for any sense of amusement. Before Eva could so much as hop to her feet the gigantic sole came down. Hard. Soft and unyielding skin crushed and twisted Eva into the dirt, all but flattening her. 

“Pain in my ass…” Amy grunted as she twisted her foot with an annoyed snort.

N...No… Eva lamented as the foot lifted...Only to step on her one more time before the toes grabbed ahold of her body and began to lift her up. Towards the awaiting fingers of the redhead. 

 -----------

Well that was close.

Amy breathed a sigh of relief as her fingers curled around the tiny figure in her hand. How lucky for all of them that she’d spied Tina from afar stomping away. If she hadn’t...Well, she didn’t wanna think about it. 

Nearby she saw her friend talking with someone - Or being talked at more like. They’d been at it a little while, the conversation finally seeming to die down as Amy drew near. No sooner had the other woman turned to walk away did Tina turn her pleading gaze towards Amy.

“You fucking owe me.” Amy muttered, waving a clenched fist. 

Relief flooded Tina’s features as she breathed out. “Oh thank god...I thought she got away again for a sec. I’ll uh...Go put her in my purse I think.”

“You aren’t putting her anywhere.” Amy retorted. “After the panic attack you guys just gave me? I got juuust the place for Evie.” 

Tina blinked, bewildered and confused as she saw her friend bring her hand lower...And the other pull open the front of her bikini bottom. Her eyes went especially wide as Amy’s fingers unfurled and dropped Evie within, releasing her swimsuit to seal the woman shut. 

“Weren’t you the one giving me a hard time about carrying her like that?” Tina huffed.

“Maybe.” The fiery-haired woman shrugged. “But I think I deserve it, don’t you?” She gave Tina a look that seemed to quell any protests. Amy smirked as they all died in her friend’s throat. “Anyway, I dunno about you but I’ve been eyeing that grill since we got here. Some food then maybe a swim?”

Tina paused, looking over to the familiar form of Dana at a dining table with some open seats surrounding her, the line of people with paper plates awaiting food, the brisk ocean tempting them from afar, and then lastly the almost indistinct outline between her friend’s legs. She looked back up, a slight, bemused smirk warming her features. 

“Yes, let’s.”
