"Indeed, I bet Kiwi would like that." Gavin snickered, never one to willingly shut up. Smiling at Deckle, he hoped she'd wear a bikini as well. "Deckle in a bikini, damn am I glad I had this idea."

Meriel smiled delightedly, nodding in agreement as everyone arranged to go and get proper attire on.

Kiwi groaned, putting his face in his hands for a moment, and ushered Meriel towards the door. "We'll stop off at my room to get my trunks...we'll meet you there, all right?"

Deckle grinned, striking a pose. "I own three. You can choose which one I wear."

Gavin grinned, nodding enthusiastically. He could hardly believe his good luck. She would let him pick her bikini?! Jackpot for him! Waving to Kiwi, he nodded in assent and followed his dark haired beauty.

Meriel smiled, nodding and gesturing for Kiwi to lead. "This sounds like fun, Meriel likes this idea."

Kiwi nodded, smiling, as he led her back to his room. It wasn't a lengthy walk. He headed inside after unlocking the door and dug around in his dresser. "Now, where did I put them...?"

Deckle returned to her room--it also wasn't a long walk. She approached her dresser at once and laid three different bikinis out on the bed. "We should pick a top from one of these for Meriel, as well..."

Gavin looked for all the world like a child who had the best birthday or Christmas gifts ever. Picking out the most sexy and form-fitting one for Deckle, he picked a purple bikini top for Meriel. "this an ok choice?" He wanted to make sure, in no way wanting to upset or insult his lady.

Meriel smiled, watching Kiwi. Seeing him rummage around, she tried to look as well.

"Looks good," Deckle confirmed, gathering up the chosen bikini in her arms. "Would you mind going to drop that top off at Kiwi's room while I change? You could pick up your proper attire while you're in that area, too."

Finally, Kiwi located his old emerald-colored swimming trunks and sighed, triumphantly. "Got them. I'm going to go change...if Gavin or Deckle comes back, let them in, okay?" He headed off towards the bathroom.

"Allright, be back to pick up my fair lady soon." Gavin blew her a kiss, taking Meriel's Bikini top with him and wandering out to Kiwi's room.

Meriel smiled, nodding in understanding as he went to the bathroom. "Yes Kiwi! Meriel will let in friends if they come." Saluting him, she turned to face the door. A few minutes later, Gavin came and handed her her top.

"There ya go missy! See ya in a bit." Gavin grinned, then scampered off to change into his flame patterned board shorts.

Taking off her top and the bra, Meriel somehow or another managed to put on the bikini top properly.

Deckle promptly and quickly stripped down to change into her bikini. As she did so, she also took off her necklace and bracelets, deciding to leave them in her room.

Kiwi strolled out just as she finished putting the top on, his emerald shorts now on. He hadn't properly swam in a while, so these were out of use...

Donning his black board shorts with green flames, Gavin came out, grinning and heading to Deckle's room once more, trying to picture Kiwi's face when he saw Meriel in a bikini.

Meriel looked up at the sound of Kiwi emerging from the small adjoining bathroom, a smile on her face as she looked satisfied and pleased, glad she managed to properly put on the bikini top.

Deckle was waiting for him, leaning against the wall in nothing but her current bikini and looking quite comfortable. "Shall we go wait for them?"

Kiwi grinned. "You'd better keep your pants on for the way there, and for the way back. But, for going in, we can all turn away for a little bit so you can hop in, and then you'll have your tail, so all will be good."

"Ready oh beautiful lady." Gavin smiled, offerring his arm and walking towards the private jacuzzis.

Meriel nodded in understanding, keeping her pants on and waiting patiently for Kiwi to be ready. "Kiwi looks nice like always."

Deckle took his arm and went with him, not sure of where the area was.

Kiwi scratched his head, grinning. "Thanks..." He perked up and sighed. "Okay, then...follow me--I know where it is." He began to lead the way.

Leading the way, Gavin waved at the two girls from earlier with a smirk, tugging Deckle along until the reached the jacuzzi. "Hey mate, ready to party?" he asked Kiwi, waving at the girls before closing the door behind the four of them.

Meriel frowned at the druggie and the slut, feeling akward around them. Once inside the private pavillion, she smiled, seeing the large pool of water just waiting for them.

Kiwi grumbled a bit, then stretched out, staring at his swim trunks. "I still see dust on these...it's been a long time since I properly went swimming, or hopped in a jacuzzi..."

Deckle snickered at that. "Sooo...you skinny-dip?"

Gavin snorted and shook his head, looking expectantly at Kiwi to see if he would deny or attest to such a thing.

Blinking and smiling in innoccent confusion, Meriel tapped the blonde's shoulder. "What's 'skinny-dip'?"

Kiwi choked on his own breath. "...Um. No? I've only skinny-dipped once in my life..." he half-admitted, meekly. He sighed at Meriel and scratched his head. "It's when someone swims, er...without their clothing. Naked."

Deckle snickered, then reached down and got the jacuzzi going. She loved them and wanted to get in quickly.

Gavin sputtered, choking on his laughter. "Who with?" he inquired, grinning like an idiot as he went over to assist Deckle.

Meriel listened to the explanation, then nodded, thinking she understood. "Like Meriel? Is it a bad thing?"

"...Damn it, Gavin, shut up," Kiwi grumbled playfully, blushing a bit more. "With the only guy I ever dated, all right?" He glanced at Meriel. "In human society, nakedness is, er...not accepted. So yes. In human society, anyway."

Deckle snickered at Kiwi, finally getting the jacuzzi up and running. "Victory!"

"Whee!" Gavin snickered, waving aside his friend's complaints of him being , well, an annoying ass. It was his specialty. Going into the jacuzzi, he patted the seat beside him as he let Deckle come in. "Join me minions!"

"Does this mean Meriel should go in with pants on?" inquired the female, not wanting to do anything wrong. Watching Gavin quizically, she giggled at his strange word. "Friend Gavin said a funny word, does it mean anything?"

Deckle contently sat down next to him, not even hesitating at the temperature of the water.

"Yeah, probably...we can always dry everything later," Kiwi replied, nodding. "Maybe you should just go in with underwear on, maybe. Because you transform. The pants would rip, but I don't think the underwear would..."

He was sure it was pretty stretchy.

Gavin smiled at Deckle, only half paying attention to his buddy now. Looking for the jet pump button, he decided that while the heat was good by itself, no jacuzzi was complete without the bubbles.

With a nod, Meriel quickly took off the pants, leaving just the panties and the bikini top.

Kiwi carefully settled down in the opposite side of the jacuzzi, content. He shifted to make a spot for Meriel, smiling at her.

Deckle was having the same thoughts, and she looked around for the button.

This time it was Gavin who had victory. "And I said: let there be bubbles!" he boomed, grinning and plopping down beside Deckle, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

Meriel smiled, slinking into the gradually warming water beside Kiwi. "The bubbles tickle!" she exclaimed softly, squeeking in surprise.

Gavin gestured to Kiwi, smiling in triumph and looking quite pleased with himself. "Oy Kiwi, wanna know an added bonus with the bubbles? If anyone comes by, the jets make such thick bubbles, no one will see her tail." Smirking deviously, he continued. "And if you go skinny dipping, no one will know either!" With this, he ducked, hiding his head as he knew Kiwi was bound to try and strangle or chuck something at him if given the chance.

"Foiled again," Deckle retorted, mock-upset. She leaned back into his arm, resting her head on his shoulder.

Kiwi first looked relieved, and then kicked at Gavin's legs under the water, unamused. "Agh."

"My day ain't complete without pissing people off, you know this by now mate." Gavin yelped at the kick, splashing water in the blonde's face.

Sure enough, Meriel felt her tail begin to replace the legs. Lifting it slightly, the end of her violet and maroon tail could be seen before she dipped it back under the bubbles. "Meriel is sorry tail gets in the way."
