Chapter 12

“Before I put this bracelet on you, I must warn you that it will not be nice. It will show you our future if the school shuts down. This is a pivotal point in nudist history, which will spell disaster if not rectified.”

He put the bracelet on my wrist, brushed my hair back with his hand and kissed my forehead. He was scaring me about what would happen as he manipulated the bracelet. He kissed my forehead again and asked,

“Are you ready?”

I nodded my head then he turned on the bracelet.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I was suddenly in a place that looked dismal, and I saw lots of banners with slogans like DEATH TO THE N.R.A. (Naked Revolution Army), NAKED IS A SIN. WOMEN SHOULD STAY CLOTHED! I became anxious and looked down at myself and saw this old, saggy naked body with a gun in my hand. I was in such shock that I dropped the gun. Then I heard a voice shout, “Hey, Nadia, pick the gun up and get a move on!”

Did she just call me Nadia? I picked up the gun and followed the three naked women. I caught my reflection in a building window, which caused me to stop and take a long look. It was me, looking all old and worn. Then someone grabbed my hand. “Come on, Nadia, before we get arrested.”

Now we were running, and I felt like I was straining to keep up. I was getting out of breath. I had to stop for a minute. But as soon as I stopped, I was tackled and put in handcuffs and chucked into a wagon with other naked women. When the cop slammed the door, I came to on Dean Louis’s couch.

“That could not have been real. Old me, fighting for naked rights?”

“I am afraid so.”

“But, why me?”

“Well, I have tried this a few times, coming back to make it right. It seems to be what you did or didn’t do that is the key. You become a police chief in the future, but you get fired because you sympathize with the N.R.A ... Then you decide to get naked and fight with them.”

“A police chief?”

“Yes, you do not seem the type right now, but you are. That is why I designed these bracelets. We jump-started you getting naked in the hopes that when you become police chief, you are already naked and nudism is ... eh, maybe not the norm, but at least an acceptable way of life. I had to help it along with your mother, too. I upped the settings to make her like being naked sooner. You will need all the support you can get.”

“How did my mom know about the school? It seems like a coincidence that I ended up meeting you there.”

“My wife had a hand in telling your mom.”

I was still lying on the couch when his wife came into the living room, naked. I saw that she had quite a few scars, and then I recognized her from the future. She was the one getting me to run.

“Hey Nadia, I am Cathy.” She said and smiled. I got up and hugged her like she was a long-lost friend. Then she passionately kissed me, which I was taken aback by, but went along with it.

“Sorry, Nadia. I had to kiss a younger version of you.”

“Are we lovers or something? I have never kissed a woman before.”

“No, but we are good friends that get together sometimes.”

This was almost getting to be too much for me to take in when Cathy took my hand and led me upstairs, followed by her husband.

“One thing before we get it on. What about your younger self, Cathy?”

“You have not met her yet, but it will be soon.”

That night with Cathy and Arthur from the future was a night I will cherish for the rest of my life. There was a deep connection between all parties like it was meant to be. We fell asleep in each other’s arms, but Cathy and Arthur were no longer there when I woke up the next morning. I got up and searched the house, but there was no sign of them. I went back up to the bedroom and lay on the bed, thinking of all that happened and what they told me. They actually traveled to the past to save a school that promoted nudity, and I am the one to do this. That was why I felt something with Dean Louis at the school. All the images of last night came to mind, and I had to play with myself before leaving for home. I felt sad that they were gone but was looking forward to meeting the young Cathy.
