Chapter 1 - Pantsless BetThis story is a gender switched and plot edited version of Hooked6's story Cowboys and Indians. It is one of my favourite stories from many years ago. Originally created for a story contest but I never got it finished. These first two chapters are VERY close to the original and 99% of the credit is to Hooked6 . I did get prior permission too in case anyone wanted to know
The plot does diverge significantly as the chapters go on with a very different ending.
I would link to the original work but I can't seem to find it now so if anyone has it let me know.
Edith or Edie as she liked to be known, had been bored for most of the summer. Being an only child at the awkward age of fourteen, she had no other girls her own age to play with as her few friends that lived nearby were away for the holidays. The only other kids available to spend time with were her neighbors Marci and Patty, who were both only eleven years old.
Towards the end of that fateful summer, Edie's dad had to travel away on business for a week and the only way her mom could accompany him was if they found a suitable place for their daughter to stay while they were away. Despite their best efforts, none of Edie's relatives were able to accommodate her that particular week. All seemed lost until at the last moment, Ms. Herzog, Marci's mom, came to the rescue and offered her home.
Edie's parents were in such a hurry to leave that they didn't even pack Edie's belongings for her. Instead they just handed their daughter a spare key to the house, gave her the usual lecture on behaving herself and minding Ms. Herzog. They quickly hopped in the car and left for the airport leaving their daughter to make her own way down the little country road about a quarter mile to Marci's place. Not being one to plan ahead, Edie simply set out to join her friends forgetting to collect any additional clothes for the night or week ahead.
Edie didn't really mind that her playmates were much younger than she was. After all, they still liked playing outdoors and getting into mischief, things that Edie still enjoyed. Other girls Edie’s own age were too wrapped up in more mature activities, like boys and makeup that didn't seem to interest her. Yet Edie knew that she was changing, both physically and mentally and soon these days would be long behind her. Though she was small for her age, her womanly curves were starting to bud if not yet blossom. Pubic hair, however, the outward sign of becoming a woman, had yet to make its appearance something that worried young Edie as many of her classmates had already noticeable growths. She had managed to sneak a few peaks at them during school showers. Still, it WAS summer and a time to make the most of her unexpected sleepover week.
"About time you got here," said Marci.
"Yeah we've been waiting for you," echoed Patty.
"Sorry girls, my parents just left," explained Edie.
"Hey, where's your stuff? I thought you were staying the whole week?" asked Marci.
"I am," Edie said. "My mom gave me a key. I'll just get my stuff at the house when I need it."
Marci, Patty and Edie soon were playing their usual games of hide and seek, keep-away and jump-rope in the yard. After a while, all the girls ended up in Marci's room. As tomboys usually do when they are bored, the three began roughhousing around with the two smaller girls quickly ganging up on Edie. It wasn't long before Edie was pinned on the bed and her T-shirt pulled up. The younger girls seized upon the opportunity to look at the older girls' new crop style training bra, a garment they hadn’t been allowed to wear yet. It was white and clearly showed the outline of small but very perky tits. As they fought to keep Edie's shirt up her house key fell out of her jeans pocket in their scuffle.
"Lookie what I've got!" exclaimed Marci. "I've got Edie's house key!"
"Hey! Give that back!" shouted Edie. Marci and Patty began a new game of keep away tossing the key back and forth between them taunting Edie to try and catch it. Edie became more and more irritated at her inability to snatch the key back. Finally growing tired she stopped trying and said, "Come on guys, I need that key. I need to go back to my house and get some new clothes before it gets too dark out."
"Why should we give it back?" asked Patty. "Maybe we'll just drop it down the drain."
Edie was losing her patience but realized that the kids were just playing a game so she decided to give in and play along. "Ok, I'll trade you for it."
"What have you got to trade?" asked Patty. Reaching into her pants pockets Edie discovered she had nothing really to trade. "Well, I guess I don't really have ANYTHING to trade ON me right now. I'll give you something from my house when I go back."
"I know!" said Marci excitedly, "You could trade your pants for the key."
"You're crazy!" said Edie. "I'm not giving you my pants."
"What, are you CHICKEN?" teased Patty. "Are you afraid to show us your knickers? Are you ashamed or something?"
"I'm not CHICKEN!" protested Edie. The girls had used the universal C word, like many times before this would make any budding young person lose their reason and go along with something ridiculous.
"Then give us your pants," demanded Marci.
Edie realized that the only way she was going to stop this silly game was to give in. "OK, I'll prove I'm not a chicken," Edie said as she started unsnapping her jeans and pulling them off. "Here," she said as she tossed them across the room with a silly flourish. "Satisfied?" Despite her words a blush tinted her petite cheeks.
Marci quickly picked them off of the floor and joined her friend in staring at Edie both giggling at the older and now half naked girl. Edie suddenly felt very silly about standing only in her little white knickers as two of her younger friends stood there gawking. Her T-shirt was short and so didn't quite cover any of the exposed underwear. She didn't want the others to tease her anymore however so she tried to act brave and as though standing half-naked was a purely natural thing to do.
"Are you nervous?" asked Marci sarcastically.
"Doesn't bother me in the least," replied Edie.
"Come on, admit it, you're embarrassed to death, aren't you?" asked Patty.
"Not even a little bit," said Edie proudly. "I can stand here all night. I'm not embarrassed at all."
"OK, tough girl. Prove it," challenged Marci. "I'll bet you can't stay in your knickers for the rest of the night."
"Aww, she won't be able to do that, she's too big a wuss!" shouted Patty.
"I AM NOT!" yelled Edie. "You're on. I'll prove it to you silly little girls. You'll see."
"FINE!" snapped Marci as she carried off Edie's pants to hide them. "I'm positive you'll be asking for these back in a short while. You'll never do it."
Edie resolutely crossed her arms across her chest and stood her ground as Marci left the room leaving her alone with Patty. The two stood eyeing each other until Marci's mom shouted from downstairs, "You girls come on down now, dinner's ready."
Edie hadn't thought things through when she agreed to challenge her friends to a test of wills. She was mortified at the prospect of having to go downstairs and face Ms. Herzog. Her bare legs suddenly covered with goosebumps and a fresh flush feeling came over her face. She was about to concede her defeat when Marci came back into the room and teased her some more, "Ready to beg for your pants back already? I knew you couldn't go through with it."
Hearing Marci's tone from a younger girl hardened Edie's resolve. "Who said anything about giving in? Besides, if I get into trouble I'll take you down with me."
The two girls were giddy with excitement. They couldn't wait to see what happened next.
The three girls bounded down the stairs. Patty and Marci took their usual seats at the table along the wall of the dining room as Edie was forced to take a seat at the end of the table in clear view of the room. When Mrs. Herzog came in carrying a bowl of vegetables and she was surprised to see Edie sitting with her underwear on show. "Edie! Where are your clothes?"
Patty, not wanting to ruin the fun they had planned quickly spoke up. "They got ruined playing outside, too muddy to wear in the house. She doesn't have anything else here. Edie has a key to her house but it’s getting late so she’s going to go in the morning"
"I see," said Mrs. Herzog in a somewhat disbelieving tone. "And none of your clothes will fit her, is that it?"
"No mom. She's bigger than us. She doesn't mind though. She always sleeps in her underwear anyway at home. Isn't that right Edie?"
Edie looked at her playmates and saw the gleeful look in their eyes. "Yes ma'am. I don't mind." Mrs. Herzog was used to the shenanigans and pranks her daughter frequently pulled and decided just to let things be.
No sooner had she returned to the kitchen, the front door opened and in walked Marci's older sister, Karla. She was seventeen and in high school. Edie had forgotten about her too when she accepted the girls' challenge. Seeing Edie sitting in her white knickers brought a smile to her face and some good natured teasing. "Oh, I didn't know clothing was OPTIONAL for dinner, now," taunted Karla.
Edie's face flushed at her words and she tried not to look at her, preferring instead to keep her gaze fixed on the table. Karla actually went to Edie’s school but they were so far apart in age and maturity they didn’t see each other often. It seemed that Karla was actually unaware of the fact that Edie was even a teenager as she looked over her sisters and friends. Mrs. Herzog brought the remaining parts of the meal into the dining room and everyone sat down. Karla chose the chair next to Edie and Mrs. Herzog was seated at the opposite end of the table.
Edie sat in awkward silence only looking up occasionally. "So what's Edie doing here...and why is she eating in her knickers?" asked Karla with a smile. She looked right at Edie when she asked her question causing the half dressed girl to blush all the more.
Marci spoke up quickly, "She's staying the week with us while her parents are out of town. The silly girl fell in a mud hole and her jeans are filthy."
"Oh," replied Karla matter-of-factly. "I guess little kids get into all kinds of trouble, huh, mom?" the teenager teased. Her words really hit home with Edie as that's the one thing she didn't want people to think she was a little kid.
The rest of the dinner went as usual with nothing much mentioned about Edie's attire. As they were clearing the table Marci spoke up, "Hey sis, tomorrow we're going to play Cowboys and Indians. Edie is going to be one of the Indians. Could you do that make-up thing you do so that she looks like a real Indian?"
Karla let out a sigh as only a teenager could, she really didn't want to be bothered by the silly girls but knew she would only be pestered all night. "I guess so...but you had better be ready when I am. I am meeting some of my friends tomorrow and I am NOT going to be late."
"We'll be ready," Marci said plainly.
Edie wondered what that was all about but forgot about it as the three began watching TV in the front room. Edie felt very self-conscious sitting in her underwear and tried desperately to conceal the front of her knickers as she sat. The pair she was wearing where quite small for her so showed the outline of her sex somewhat depending on how she sat.
When Mrs. Herzog announced it was bedtime, Patty got up to head for home. "Don't forget to bring Julie tomorrow," Marci reminded her. "We'll need her to play the other Indian."
"Don't worry," replied Patty. "I've already asked her. I'll bring her along when I come back in the morning."
When Marci and Edie reached the bedroom they'd be sharing Marci said, "You did better than I thought you would."
"I told you I could do it. I wasn't the least bit embarrassed. Now give me my clothes." Edie replied.
"The night's not over yet," answered Marci. "I'll give you your clothes in the morning. Now let's get some rest. Tomorrow's going to be a long day."
