Chapter 9: The Pageant Flyer

Now that Jessie was alone with Kate she just sat in quiet thought letting all the afternoon’s events slosh around in her head. Eventually Kate spoke again saying, “Well, come on. Let’s get going. Mom’s expecting us back for supper. Have you told your mom you’re having dinner with us?”

“Yep!” said Jessie. “And what about Paul? Your dad said he was coming home today. What do you think he will think of all this nudie stuff?”

“Nar! Not him!” said Kate. “He won’t be interested in any of that stuff. Don’t know what he’ll say about dad being a Certified Nudist though.”

Jessie was silent again for a few minutes as they both headed out of the mall. If it was true that Kate’s father had some kind of a crush on Jessie then it was equally true that Jessie had her own crush on Kate’s older brother Paul ... well - half brother she thought - Mr Terrence’s first wife had left him when Paul was only 4 years old. Kate was the product of his second marriage a year later. Jessie was mulling over all this and found herself quite looking forward to seeing Paul again even though he was 5 years senior to both girls.

As the two young girls left the mall the last thing they noticed was a large notice board just by the entrance. Right in the middle of that notice board was pinned a large flyer decorated with pictures of lots of young and very pretty teenage girls. Kate Terrence just took a glancing view at that flyer as she walked passed. All she saw were the title words written in large, red letters ... TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT COMING TO REDSANDS.

Kate quickly read those words out loud to Jessie before making the comment... “Huh! I thought those things died out years ago.”

Jessie just nodded rather absent-mindedly then added quietly, “Well, I guess they still have their place. Some people love them and some people hate them. I don’t think I could ever be bothered entering one though!”

Kate looked across to Jessie then added a bit more enthusiastically, “Well, I reckon that if you did enter it then you would win the whole thing hands down without anyone coming even close to challenging you. They don’t call you the Singing Angel just because of your lovely voice, Jessie. The ‘angel’ bit is added because you ARE an angel - a drop dead, gorgeous, blonde angel. All the girls know it and all the boys MOST DEFINITELY know it too - based on what I have heard!”

Jessie just laughed and blushed a little bit again but carried on walking without making further comment.

What neither girl had seen though was the last sentence printed right at the bottom of that flyer in small black italicised type. That one little sentence just read...

“This competition is proudly sponsored by the newly formed National Trust for Lifestyle Nudism (NTFLN) and all of its many affiliates.”

And what neither girl even had the slightest idea about at this stage was that if a Teenage Beauty Pageant was being sponsored by the National Trust for Lifestyle Nudism then that Beauty Pageant would almost definitely involve nudity - total nudity - and lots of it! And in this case that would mean lots of young, beautiful, naked, teenage girls strutting their naked bodies in all their glory - for all the world to see!

Since neither girl saw that part of the flyer they just carried on home in the same way they did every other week - laughing and talking about the afternoon in all the carefree fashion that only two teenage girls can. And it was in that fashion that they arrived back at Kate’s place at the same time as a slightly beat up looking Ford pick-up was pulling into the driveway and a lanky young man with dark hair and a big smile was stepping out to greet them.
