   My friend Asuna had invited our friend Satomi and me to come stay over
at her condo for a pajama party.  I forget exactly how this whole idea came
up.  I guess we were out with Takuya and Hiro, these two boys who live in
Satomi's dorm, and Asuna was talking about having us over, and either
Takuya or I suggested we make it into a pajama party.  I was half seriously
thinking of inviting the boys too, but anyway, I knew that Satomi would
never go for that, so we ended up just making it a girl thing.  I was kind
of looking forward to it though.  I guess I hadn't really done anything
like that since high school.  I see quite a bit of Satomi because she lives
right near my work, but a lot of the time she's pretty quiet, so I thought
this would be a chance to really talk.

   That day, I worked at the campus fitness center until four, but Satomi
wasn't off till six.  There's this gymnastics class that I sometimes join.
It starts at 2:30, so usually I'm wokring, but I know the instructor
Stephanie, and she lets me come in just for the tail end.  I went into the
locker room, and changed into a soft white t-shirt and navy 'bloomers'
(high cut racing briefs).  On my way back out, I passed Gavin my co-worker
who'd taken over for me at the desk.  He is a bit of a jock, but friendly
enough to me.  He gave out a wolf whistle when he saw my outfit.

   "Nice shorts!" he gushed, his eyes gleaming.  I looked down.  They were
one of the pairs I brought with me from Japan that I used to wear in high
school.  They'd kind of slid up, getting caught in the crack of my bottom,
and exposing a fair bit of my butt.  I gave my tail feather a little wiggle
just to tease him.  "Where are you going all suited up like that?" he
grinned.

   "Gymnastics," I blushed, trying to pull the material down so they didn't
look so indecent.  When I got to class, there were all the regulars there,
and Stephanie was explaining how to do cartwheels.  I'd been working on
them but without much luck.  I was getting pretty good at somersaults and
handstands and stuff like that.

   After class, I headed back to the locker room to have a shower.  Gavin
was talking to a member, but he smiled at me, as I walked past.

   I found my locker, and got undressed.  I don't know why, but I used to
be so shy about walking around naked here in the States when there were
other women around, but I was getting more used to it.  I walked over to
the showers, set my towel and bag down on this little bench in this big
open stall, and went across to shower in one of the smaller stalls.

   This woman came in, maybe in her mid-twenties, and starting running the
water in the big stall where my clothes were.  We were both stark naked, so
I was a bit nervous, but I finally got up my nerve, and went over to rescue
my stuff, so it wouldn't get wet.  She kind of laughed, and apologized, and
explained how running the water in the big stall seemed to make the other
showers warmer too.  We started talking about how cold the showers were. 
She was so natural and friendly I didn't feel self-conscious at all, even
though we were both naked.

   She went into one of the stalls, and I went back to my own shower.  I
could hear voices coming from the pool, so I asked her if there was a class
going on.

   "I guess," she shrugged smiling.  She turned back toward her shower, but
my curiosity was getting the better of me.  I tiptoed over to the door to
the pool, and peeked out around the corner.  I could see people swimming
lengths, but I couldn't really tell which class it was.  I glanced back at
the woman, but she wasn't looking, so I got up my nerve, and stepped out
into the doorway to get a better look at the pool.  The swimming
instructor, an American woman, caught sight of me, and she looked pretty
shocked to see me standing here naked.  I quickly bowed an apology, and
scurried back to my shower.  I don't know why I do these things, but it is
kind of fun to run around at school naked.

   Anyway, I had to go meet Satomi, so I quickly toweled off, and got back
dressed.  It's just a short walk to Satomi's dorm.  She was back from
class, and quickly got ready, and the two of us headed down to Asuna's
condo.  Asuna lives a bit closer to the beach than the rest of us, and I
kind of like the whole atmosphere around there.  Even on the street,
everyone seems to be walking around in shorts or swimsuits, and they all
seem in such a holiday mood.

   Asuna's condo unit is on the main floor, so we just walked up, and
knocked on her patio door.  Her two roommates, Sandra, an American, and
Maria, a Mexican, had gone out, so it was just the three of us.  We cooked
up some Japanese noodles for supper, and then sat around in the living room
watching TV and chatting.

   Satomi told us how she was still hanging out with Hiro, the boy from her
dorm, but nothing had really happened between them.  He was kind of young I
guess, but it was nice to see her seeing someone for a change.  Asuna had
her eye on one of the guys in the Japanese Student Union, whom I didn't
really know that well.  They asked how things were going between me and my
boyfriend Ryosuke, but I didn't really have that much to report.  We'd both
been so busy lately with work and stuff.  I'd barely seen him all summer.

   Eventually, Maria came home.  She went off to her room, but Asuna turned
the TV down, and told us to talk quieter so as not to disturb Maria.  I'd
kind of been hoping that Maria would come out, and join us, but I guess she
and Asuna aren't that close.  It was getting later, so we all got changed
into our nightwear.  I pulled on a short nightie and matching bikini
panties with side ties, while Asuna was in a longer nightgown, and Satomi
in boy style p.j.'s.

   The three of us stretched out on their sofa and carpet.  I wanted to
hear more about Asuna's new heartthrob, but she seemed kind of shy to talk
about him, and kept asking about me.  I started telling them about
gymnastics class, and got up to show them some of the things I was
learning.

   Asuna's living room is kind of small, so it was hard to do somersaults,
so I went over to the mirrored wall in the dining room, and tried to show
them a handstand.  I'm not really that strong, but Asuna got up, and helped
me, and I finally managed to do one.  My nightie ended up falling down, and
I started laughing because if anyone walked by outside, they'd see my bare
breasts.  Asuna looked out the window, nervous, but it looked like no one
was there.  I got back down, and told Asuna to try one next.

   Asuna was all giggly and embarrassed, but I finally got her to put her
hands down, and lifted her up.  Her long nightgown started falling down
exposing her legs, and she started giggling so hard she fell, and ended up
upside down in a heap on the floor.  She looked so silly even Satomi was
laughing.  I turned to Satomi, and told her to try next.  She really didn't
want to do it, but we finally managed to convince her, and up she went. 
Her p.j.  top fell open, but she was wearing a bra.

   Asuna, angry at us for laughing at her, started tickling Satomi.  Just
because I thought it would be funny, I grabbed the waistband of Satomi's
p.j.  bottoms, and started pulling them off.  She let her arms go, and
started to fall, but I held her there for a moment, examining her neatly
trimmed black pubic hair.  I hadn't noticed this before, but her hair
curves out to the sides kind of like a palm tree.  I wonder if mine does
too!

   Asuna thought this was tremendously funny, but Satomi twisted her body
free, and collapsed onto the floor, her bottoms down around her knees.  Her
cute little bare behind was perched up in the air, and you could see it in
double with its reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror on the dining
room wall.  She quickly pulled up her bottoms, blushing like crazy, but
once she was decent, she got up, and charged at me all angry now.

   "What did you do that for?  How would you like it if we did that to
you?"

   "Hey, hey!  Relax.  It's not like anyone saw you or anything."

   "I can't believe you did that.  I feel so..." She was so upset she
couldn't even finish her sentence.

   "Humiliated?" I suggested.  "Anyway, relax.  If it'll make you feel any
better, you can do the same thing to me."

   Satomi glared at me defiantly, but then finally sat down on the sofa,
and turned away sulking.  I went back over to the mirror wall, and bent
down getting ready to do another handstand.

   "Asuna, can you spot me?" I asked.  She hesitantly got up, and came
over, but she kept looking out the window to see if anyone was out there.

   "Emi?  I don't know if you should...," she whispered meekly.  I swung my
legs up, and she caught them, but she was too nervous to pull down my
panties.

   "Just pull on the bow," I told her nodding towards my side ties.  She
shook her head no, so I finally nodded for her to let go, and flipped back
down onto my feet.  I was so charged up by then I felt confident that I
could do the handstands on my own.  I looked outside scanning the parking
lot for signs of life.  For all my bravado, I still was bit worried that
someone might see.

   Only when I was quite sure that there was no one there, did I reach
down, and undo the bows, pulling my panties off.  Asuna and Satomi looked
at me, with open mouths, shocked by my daring.  My pubic hair was sticking
up, so I tried to smooth it down.  Quickly, before I lost my nerve, I
planted my hands on the carpet, and flipped up and over steadying myself
with my bare feet high up on the mirror wall.  My nightie fell way down,
getting caught on my chin, leaving my breasts and pussy exposed.  I felt so
horribly naughty.

   I shook the nightie, till it came loose, and tumbled down around my
wrists.  The necklace with the locket Ryosuke gave me was hanging around my
neck, but other than that I was completely naked.  I felt so exhilarated,
on cloud nine.  I flipped back down onto my feet, leaving my nightie lying
there on the carpet, so excited to be naked at last.

   "Emi!  Emi!" Asuna called out all frantic.  "You'd better get dressed. I
think there's someone out there."

   I tilted my head peering out the window, but I couldn't see anyone.

   "Here, I just want to try one more thing," I told them dashing over
toward the door.  I did a quick hop and step, and tried to go into a
cartwheel, but there wasn't enough room, and I skidded, stopping myself
before I ran into the window.

   "Emi!  Cut it out!  Just get back dressed, will you?" Asuna warned.

   "Sorry," I apologized.  I looked out the window at the grass outside
wondering if I could do a cartwheel out there, but Asuna picked up my
nightie, and insisted I take it.  Just then though, we heard a key in the
door.  Taking the nightie from her, I dashed around behind the wall of the
kitchen, and hastily pulled the nightie on over my head.  It turned out to
be Asuna's other roommate, Sandra, and her boyfriend Craig coming back from
a night out on the town.  I glanced around for my panties, but they were
sitting over on the coffee table in plain view.  I pulled down the hem of
my nightie to cover my pussy, and did my best to hide behind Asuna.

   "What are you guys doing?" Sandra asked.

   "We're having a pajama party," Asuna explained.  "Remember?  I told
you."

   Craig peered over at me, and smiled.  I blushed, even more so once I
realized he could see my bare backside in the mirror.  I spread out my
fingers trying to cover up, but he looked thrilled.  Unsure what else to
do, I just stood there praying that Sandra wouldn't notice.  Satomi figured
out what was going on, and came over to stand in the way, and block Craig's
view.  Eventually, Sandra said goodnight, and dragged Craig off to her
room. Satomi glared at me, still upset.

   "See what happens when you fool around like that," she scolded.  I
smiled wanly, but my hello kitty was on fire.  Not that I wanted Craig
exactly, but he was quite handsome.  This wasn't the first time he'd caught
me naked either.  We had quite a history.

   Anyway, I finally went over, got my panties, and pulled them on.  It was
getting pretty late by then, so Asuna went, and laid out a futon on the
floor of her room.  Neither Satomi nor Asuna wanted to sleep in the living
room, so I agreed to take the sofa.  Asuna brought out some sheets, and
helped me get set up.

   "No more funny business, you hear," Asuna warned.  I smiled, but she
seemed quite cross, so I nodded that I'd be good.  We all brushed our
teeth, and soon the whole apartment was dark and quiet.  After all the
excitement though, I couldn't sleep.  I got up, and went to the patio door
looking out at the trees and parked cars in the courtyard outside.  It was
such a nice place, so calm and peaceful.  My own house with my host mom
Loretta was nice too of course, but it was kind of fun staying away from
home.  Everyone needs a change of scenery now and then.

   I went back to the sofa, lay down, and pulled the blanket around me. 
The ties on my panties felt loose, so I reached down, and tried to fix
them. I undid one side, and tried to do it back up in a slipknot.  No,
that's not it.  How does it go again?  No, that's not right either.  I
finally took my panties right off, and held them up, so I could see what I
was doing.  I tried a few more different ways, but I was starting to feel
sleepy.  Without really thinking about where I was, I set my panties down
on the coffee table, and drifted off to sleep.

   Then in the middle of the night, I awoke with this strange feeling that
someone was watching me.  I opened my eyes a crack, and sure enough there
was Craig standing at the foot of the sofa.  At first, I couldn't figure
out what he was doing, but slowly I realized he must be staring up the
covers at my crotch.  I glanced over at the table, only to realize in
horror that I'd taken off my panties!  I quickly pulled my legs together,
trying to hide my pussy.  I reached my hand down, only to realize that both
my nightie and my sheet were up around my waist.  I'd been lying here for
who knows how long, legs spread, flashing Craig my pussy.  It was hard to
see his face in the dim light, but he seemed pretty excited.

   My face was getting all flushed, and I could feel this warm dampness
building between my legs.  I shouldn't let him look.  Still pretending to
be asleep, I lowered my legs down flat.  Craig narrowed his eyes, and
looked up at my face, annoyed I guess that I was blocking his view.  My
heart was pounding so hard in my chest.  Could he tell I was awake?  I
closed my eyes, and waited.  Eventually, I heard him head off to the
kitchen.

   I quickly reached down, and tried to push the sheet further down my
thighs, but before I could, he came back carrying a mug of some drink.  He
took up his spot at the foot of the couch, and craned his neck back and
forth trying to see my pussy.  I was so petrified I could hardly breathe.
Now what do I do?  Is he planning to stay there all night?

   Unfortunately, I was starting to feel a bit restless.  I knew I had
better stay still, but I was getting tired of lying in the same position.
Finally, I rolled over on to my side.  I could still vaguely see Craig out
of the corner of my eye.  He looked unhappy.  Phew!  That was lucky.  The
covers must be low enough to block his view.  But now I was starting to
feel hot.  It was the middle of summer, after all.  I held that position
for as long as I could, but soon I had to move again.  I rolled again,
turning face down.  Luckily, I could still feel the sheet on my hiney. 
Phew!  That was close.

   Yet, just when I thought I was safe, I suddenly felt the sheet lift up,
and pull away.  Craig, the little devil, was pulling the sheet right off me
to get a better look at my bare behind.  The hem of my nightie was way up
above my waist leaving my precious backside exposed.

   I turned my head, peering through my bangs back at Craig.  Our eyes met,
but for some reason, he didn't seem to realize I was awake.  I could see
his eyes reflecting the light from the window, but I guess he couldn't see
mine in the dark.  He leered down at my bare bottom, obviously quite
excited.  I was pretty worked up myself.  He glanced back at my face, and I
quickly closed my eyes, not wanting him to know I was awake.  Maybe I
should have said something, but I couldn't get up the nerve.  Who knows
what he might do if he finds out I'm awake.

   It was bad enough that he was standing right over me staring down at my
bare bottom, but when I opened my eyes again, he'd taken a hold of my
nightie, and was tugging it further and further up my bare back.  Oh my
god! What's he doing?  Trying to strip me naked?  What should I do?  I
can't just lie here!

   Before I could do anything though, I heard footsteps coming this way. 
Ohmigod!  Someone's coming.  Panicking, I grabbed my nightie, and pushed it
down as far as it would go, grabbing for the sheet.  For a split second,
Craig stared at me, shocked to find me awake, but not wanting to get in
trouble himself, he quickly dashed off to the kitchen to hide.  I pulled
the sheet up over my mouth, and watched through narrowed eyes as Sandra
came out into the living room.  She paused to look down at me, and my heart
almost skipped a beat.  I'd covered up my pussy, but my panties were right
there on the table in plain sight!  By some stroke of luck, she didn't
notice them.  Soon, she disappeared off into the kitchen to talk to Craig.

   My heart was beating away like a jackhammer.  This was all too close for
comfort.  Sandra seemed easygoing enough, but the way she looked at me made
me suspect she didn't like me much.  Maybe she thought I was trying to
steal her man.  I had a boyfriend of my own - Ryosuke - but I don't think
they'd met at that point.

   I could hear Craig and Sandra whispering in the kitchen.  I cautiously
reached over, and took back my panties, but before I could put them on,
Sandra and Craig came back out, and headed off for the bedroom.  I felt so
relieved that they were gone, but I couldn't help feeling violated.  Craig
had a lot of nerve spying on me while I was sleeping.

   The next morning, the atmosphere was so weird.  Asuna and Satomi were
still a bit upset with me for my antics of the night before, and Craig kept
grinning.  I was starting to regret the whole thing.  I really am going to
have to be more careful.
