Chapter 16

The four teens were still lounging by the pool when their parents returned. Anne and Marge walked out to the pool area.

"Hi kids!" Marge said, "What are you guy up to?"

Jack said, "We finished with the boat and decided to go swimming to cool off."

Anne asked, "Have you kids had any lunch?"

Kim said, "No, but we're hungry."

Anne said, "Ok, Marge and I will fix some sandwiches. After you kids eat we want you to try on your school clothes."

Anne and her sister-in-law went back into the house to prepare lunch for their children.

Sally grumbled, "I'm not really looking forward to having to wear those outfits the school requires."

Kim said, "I know, but it won't be that bad."

Jack joined the girls' discussion saying, "I would rather wear jeans and stuff like at our old school."

Tom voiced his agreement with Jack adding, "I think the whole dress code sucks!"

The two adult women returned to the pool area. Anne carried a tray with sandwiches, chips, and sodas. She set the tray on one of the round glass tables and called the teens to eat. The four kids got up and made their way to the table. They sat quietly, eating the corned beef sandwiches and potato chips. When they had finished, Kim gathered the dishes, placed them on the tray, and carried it into the kitchen.

Sally followed Kim into the house. Their moms were sitting in the breakfast nook, drinking iced tea.

"Where is dad?" Sally asked her mother.

"He and Uncle Don had to go pick up a couple of things," she said, "They will be back soon."

Marge said, "Are you two ready to try on your new school clothes?"

Kim answered, "I guess so."

The four women got up and went to Kim's room. Marge and Anne carried the new outfits, still covered by the plastic garment bags the tailor had provided. They hung the clothes on one of the long poles that ran the length of Kim's large walk in closet. As the two moms unzipped the dark garment bags, Marge said, "You two get out of those suits and into your underwear."

Kim and her cousin stripped off the swimsuits they were wearing and took them into the bathroom, hung the suits on a towel rack and returned to the bedroom. Sally put on the pink bra and panties she had come in, while her cousin selected clean white panties and bra.

Marge and Anne handed their daughters the white Oxford shirts they were required to wear. The girls slipped their arms through the long sleeves and buttoned the shirts to their necks. They put on little crossover ties and snapped the fasteners that held them closed. Next, the women handed the girls the navy blue wool skirts. The teens stepped into them and pulled the short zippers up in the back. They raised the skirts around their waists and pulled gently on their shirttails. Releasing the wool skirts, they adjusted them, making sure the seam was centered in the back. The dark skirts stopped about four inches above the young girls knees. Kim looked at Sally, then herself in the full-length mirror. Turning sideways, she could see that her butt was defined, even if only slightly.

The girls' moms handed their daughters the matching blazers. Kim and Sally put on the jackets and buttoned the middle of three brass buttons. The front of the blazers had darts above their breasts, allowing the jackets to conform to the rise in the girls' chests. The academy's insignia was embroidered, in gold, on the left breast pocket. The girls sat on the bed and pulled on the thin white knee socks, which indicated they were sophomores.

The girls in each grade were defined only by the difference in their socks. Sophomores wore white, freshmen gray, and juniors' navy blue. The senior girls were required to wear nylon stockings.

The girls stepped into the white and blue saddle shoes that completed their outfits. They stood in front of their mothers, turning around slowly. Marge and Anne watched the young girls model the new clothing. The girls looked older than the fifteen year olds they would soon be. The moms smiled as they watched Kim and Sally start to strike poses.

"OK, that's enough." Marge said, "Let's go downstairs. I want your brothers to change so we can get pictures."

Kim and Sally followed their mothers down the wide stairway and into the family room. The two teens sat on the couch while Anne called the boys into the house.

"We want you and Jack the put on your school clothes." Anne said.

Tom looked at his mom and replied, "Why?"

Anne said, "We want to see if everything fits."

The two boys went through the family room. On the way to Jack's room they spotted their sisters sitting on the long leather couch.

"I like you in your mini skirt better!" Tom said to Sally as he and his cousin walked by.

"Me too!" Sally replied, as the boys exited the huge family room.

Tom and Jack went into Jack's bedroom. They removed their shorts and put on their boxer shorts. Jack stuck his head out the door and yelled, "Where are the clothes?"

Marge and Anne rounded the corner from the stairs and Marge said, "Here they are."

The two women walked into the bedroom carrying garment bags. They handed the bags to their sons.

"Put these things on." Anne told the boys.

Jack and Tom, feeling a bit embarrassed, held the bags in front of their nearly nude bodies.

Jack said, "... um... aren't you two going to leave?"

Marge said, "No."

The boys hung the bags in Jack's closet and unzipped them. Their outfits consisted of navy blue slacks and matching blazers, white shirts, and navy blue ties. The two boys stepped into their trousers as their mothers looked on. The two women could see that the boys were affected by their presence. They noticed that they were becoming erect as they buttoned their pants and pulled up the zippers. The boys put on the white shirts and wrapped the ties around their necks.

Jack and Tom fumbled with the ties, neither one sure how to tie them. Marge and Anne laughed as they watched the boys struggle with the thin strips of material.

"Let us help you guys." Marge said.

Anne added, "You two are just like your fathers. They can't tie one either!"

The women adjusted the length of the ties, explaining to their sons what they were doing. They flipped, tucked, and pulled until the ties' knots were snug against the boys' necks. They shifted the tight bulge of the knots until they were centered between the sharp points of the shirts' collars. The boys put on the blazers and buttoned them appropriately. The two moms stepped back and admired their sons.

"You two look very handsome." Anne said, "Now put on your shoes and socks. We want to take pictures."

Jack and Tom complied with their moms' wishes, pulling on the black socks and shoes.

The boys followed their moms down to the family room to join their sisters. The girls, still sitting on the couch were making comments about the outfits they had to wear.

"Ok kids, go stand in front of the fire place." Marge said.

The teens moved in front of the large stone fireplace that covered one entire wall of the family room. Each teen stood next to their sibling. With the fireplace as a backdrop, Marge took several pictures.

The kids were getting ready to go change back into more comfortable clothes when their dads walked into the room. Don and Marc looked at their sons and daughters. They told them how nice they all looked.

The four teens thanked their fathers for their comments and headed for the stairs.

Jack and Tom pulled at their ties as they followed their sisters up the stairs. They watched the girls rear ends shift from side to side as Kim and Sally walked up, taking one stair at a time. When they reached the doorway of Kim's room, she and Sally turned and walked in. Kim didn't bother to close the door, which was directly across the hall from her brother's room.

Jack and Tom went into Jack's room. Jack was pushing his door closed when he noticed that the girls were undressing. He motioned to Tom to come over to the doorway and they watched as the girls, their backs turned, removed their blazers. Kim and Sally pulled down the short zipper on the back of the skirts and stepped out of them and disappeared into the closet. When they returned, they were wearing only their panties and bras. Sally smiled through the open door at her brother and cousin, and put on the skirt and top she had come in. Kim removed the white bra and pulled a tight tee shirt over her head, completing her outfit with the denim shorts she wore earlier.

The girls exited Kim's room. Sally stuck her head into Jack's room. She shifted her eyes from her brother's crotch to Jacks.

She smiled and said, "I see you guys liked the show."

Tom said, "It was great!" The boys turned slightly red.

The two girls turned and went downstairs. The boys, fully erect, quickly changed into their street clothes and left to join the rest of the family.

The boys went into the family room. Their parents and sisters were all seated on various couches and chairs. Marge and Anne were sitting together on the love seat. Marge nudged her sister-in-law and glanced at the boys. The women could see the remains of their sons' erections in the crotch of their pants. Anne smiled at Marge and asked the four teens if they had anything planned for the evening. All four of them shook their heads no.

Don looked up from the paper he was reading and said, "Well, what would everyone like to do?"

Anne said, "We could order pizzas and just hang around here, if you don't mind the company."

Marge added, "Then we don't have to cook."

The four kids nodded in agreement and Don went to the phone to order their dinner.

"It will be about an hour." Don said, sitting down in his recliner and picking up the paper.

Kim asked her brother and cousins, "You guys want to play cards or something?"

Jack said, "I do." And went to a cabinet to get a deck of cards.

The four teens sat on the floor in a circle. Jack shuffled and dealt the cards. Kim sat across from Sally, her brother to her right. Sally sat Indian style, her short skirt pushed down between her legs, concealing her pink panties. The kids took turns pulling a card from the neat stack in the middle of the circle they formed, keeping the one they wanted, and discarding the one they didn't. By default, it was the boys against the girls. The parents watched as the games progressed. When the doorbell rang announcing the arrival of their dinner, it was tied at two games apiece.

Marge and Anne went to the door and paid the young delivery boy for the pizzas. They walked back into the house and asked if the families would like to eat out by the pool. They all stood and indicated their agreement by walking to the sliding glass doors that led to the large patio.

The kids gathered at one table, their parents at another.

Marge said, "It feels like it is cooling off."

Don said, "It sure does. Jack would you please close up."

"Sure." He went into the pool house and entered the commands into the computer that would cause the glass panels to close.

Jack returned to the table. He took a paper plate and placed two slices of the hot pizza on it. Everyone was enjoying the dinner. The large glass panels were sliding across their openings, enclosing the two families in new addition.

Jack, his mouth half full of food, asked, "What does everyone want to drink?

The three kids said "Sodas."

The adults answered "Cold beer."

Jack went into the kitchen, returning with his hands full of the requested beverages. He set a six-pack of beer on the adults' table and handed each of the teens a soda.

Between bites of the crusty pie, Kim said, "You guys know that Sally and I are going to beat you at cards."

Tom washed the mouthful of food he was chewing down with a large drink out of his soda can and said, "No way you two are going to win!"

Jack agreed with his cousin adding, "We only let you guys win two games so you wouldn't quit."

Sally, wanting to get her two cents in said, "We'll just have to see about that!"

The teens finished their meal, cleaned up the table, and went back into the family room. They assumed the same position they had been sitting before dinner and resumed the game.

The four adults watched their children through the sliding glass doors that separated the pool area from the family room.

Marge said, "Those kids remind me of us more and more each day. Remember when we use to play cards when we were kids?"

Marc said, "I sure do, only the way I remember it we had a different method of keeping score."

The four parents laughed at Marc's comment.

Anne said, "Yes, I can remember losing my shirt a few times."

Don chimed in, "And your pants!"

The four were now laughing uncontrollably. They returned their attention to the kids. They were watching their parents with baffled looks on their faces.

Don and Marc finished their beers and reached for the two remaining cans.

Don pulled the tab on his and said, "I wonder if they would let us play too."

Marge looked at her husband. She could see a funny gleam in his eyes.

Marc said, "Let's ask."

Anne questioned Marc. "Are you suggesting that we invite the kids to play strip poker?"

Marge, to the surprise of the rest of them, said, "We don't have to force them to play that way, we can just join in and see what happens."

Anne checked the time on her gold wristwatch. She said, "It's seven-thirty now, the kids have to be at school early tomorrow."

The four teens had to be at the academy at seven- thirty in the morning. The normal school day started at eight, but because they were new they had to go in early. They were to attend an orientation for first time students, before joining the rest of the student body for an assembly.

Marge and Anne got up and started to clear the table. Marc and Don picked up the empty beer cans and pizza boxes. The four adults carried the things through the family room, into the kitchen.

Marc polled his counter parts, "Well, what's the verdict? Do we ask them or not?"

The adults chatted amongst themselves. It was decided that it could do no harm.

Marge stated, "We are not going to ask them to do anything they don't want to do. After all, we can always play our way, after they have gone to bed."

The adults agreed on the terms and walked into the family room.

"Who's winning?" Don asked.

Jack said, "We are still tied. Four games apiece."

Marge asked, "Can we play?" The four teens looked at each other then their parents.

Sally said, "Sure, why not."

Marc said, "What are we going to play with eight people?" Everyone exchanged their idea of a game that eight people could play.

Don finally came up with the idea of poker. He said, "We can play five card stud poker. We will make up two man teams, each team playing one hand,"

Kim said, "Ok, guys against the girls."

Jack picked up the cards and stacked them neatly. Marge sat with Kim, Don with Jack, Anne with Sally, and Marc joined Tom. They expanded the circle so that everyone was sitting next to each other.

Sally said, "I don't know how to play poker!"

Kim said, "Neither do I."

Don, taking the deck of cards from Jack, said, "Your mothers do, they can teach you." Shuffling the cards, Don asked, "What are we going to play for?"

Kim asked, "Can't we just keep score?"

Don explained that poker was a game that involved betting. He said, "Let's play a practice hand and I will show what I mean. The game of poker is usually played for money, but we can use anything we want. I think there is a box of poker chips around here somewhere."

Marge got up and went to a small cabinet in the corner of the family room. She sorted through the items and returned with a round container. Circling the outside of the container were neat stacks of round plastic chips. Marge returned to the group and took her place between her husband and daughter.

Marge distributed even amounts of the chips to each team. She said, "All the colors have the same value."

Don dealt five cards to each pair of players. The adults picked up the cards and fanned them out. Each parent explained the cards and the object to their younger partner.

Marge told Kim, "We have three fives. We will throw away the other two cards and get two new ones." Marge tossed the two cards in front of Don and said, "We'll take two." Don replaced the cards. Marge picked them up and added them to the three she kept. "We now have three fives and two jacks. That is called a full house." Kim paid close attention to her mother's description of the hand. "If this was a real hand and not practice, we would make a bet. The object is to either beat the other hands or make them you think you can."

After each team had replaced the cards they wished to, they started to lay their hands out.

Don said, "We have two pair."

Marc said, "Tom and I have three of a kind."

Anne and Sally had a small straight, leaving Marge and Kim with the winning hand. The teens said that they understood the game and real play began.

Don told everyone to ante one chip to start, and he dealt the next hand. The teams each placed their first bet then discarded. After picking up the new cards, each team placed another bet. Marge and Kim bet three chips. Sally and Anne raised two. Marc and Tom folded, Don and his son called. The players placed their cards face up in front of them. Kim and her mom had a flush, winning the hand. Kim giggled as she reached for the pile of multicolored chips.

The game progressed. Each team had won and lost. Soon Kim and her mom had a large stack of chips in front of them. Don and Jack were down to their last three chips. It was Tom's Turn to deal the next hand. He flipped the cards out and each team picked them up. Don and Jack had a good hand, but lacked sufficient chips to bet. Don studied his hand and the faces of the other players. Marc and Tom had bet three chips. Anne and Sally had raised two. Marge and Kim examined their cards. Marge tossed seven chips on the pile making another raise. All eyes turned to Don and Jack.

Don examined the cards carefully. He and his son had three of a kind. They still had the draw to come.

Don said, "How much is my shirt worth?"

The teens all looked at him in amazement, the remaining adults just smiled.

Anne said, "I think a shirt is worth eight chips!"

Marge and Marc agreed, the kids just sat dumbfounded.

Don said, "OK," and removed his shirt, tossing it into the pile of chips. He removed one chip and added it the three he and Jack had remaining. Dressed only in his slacks and socks, he said, "I call."

Tom dealt the cards, replacing each teams' discards. Don and Jack drew two aces, making a full house.

It was Marc's turn to bet again, "We'll bet three," he said.

Anne and Sally looked at their cards and Sally said, "We'll see your three and raise you three." Kim and her mom whispered between them.

Kim, with a big smile, said, "Mom and I will see your six, and raise you three.

Anne and Marc matched the bet, leaving it all up to Don and Jack. The father and son discussed the hand. Jack took off his shirt and added it to the pile. Don tossed one chip in with it.

"We have a full house," he announced.

Marge laughed and said, "Well that's not good enough! We have a flush." Kim spread the five spades out in front of her and her mom. The mother and daughter's hand beat everyone. Kim again pulled the pile of chips to her, this time with her dad and brother's shirts.

Kim realized that the stakes were changing. She said, "I have to go to the bathroom," and stood up. She ran up the stairs and returned a few minutes later.

Her mom leaned over and asked Kim, "Why didn't you use one of the bathrooms down here?"

Kim cupped her hands around her mom's ear and whispered, "I wasn't wearing a bra." Marge giggled quietly and returned to the game.

Anne and Sally inventoried their chips. Sally counted the six remaining chips and said, "You know mom, we could be in trouble."

Anne nodded and said, "Just play carefully."

The next hand was dealt. Each team placed their bets. Anne and her daughter had to use all of the remaining chips in order to continue. Sally picked up the cards that were given to her to replace the three she had thrown out. She combined them with the two she and her mom had kept. "Two aces and two fours," she whispered to Anne. "What do we do?"

Anne smiled at the young girl and said, "We play them. I'll do the betting." Sally nodded and her mom said, "We will see the bet and raise you three." With that Anne pulled her shirt over her head and dropped it into the pile, removing two chips.

Anne sat next to her daughter in her low cut bra. The light green garment revealed the very top edge of her dark areola. She felt slightly aroused and her nipples pressed against the thin fabric, allowing everyone to detect her condition. The players revealed their cards. Anne and her daughter were beat by Marc and Jack's hand.

The teens were beginning to giggle at the turn of events. Tom felt himself begin to stiffen as he looked at his mother.

Marc laughed at his wife's display and said, "Remember when we didn't even use chips?"

Anne said, "I sure do."

Sally and her brother looked at their parents.

Jack said, "You mean you guys played cards for clothes!"

Marge said, "Yes Jack, it's called strip poker."

Kim was a little shocked. She shifted her position slightly and asked, "Can we play that way?"

"Maybe some other time," Marge said, "You guys have to get up early for school and can't stay up too late."

Sally said, "It's only eight-thirty, can't we play for a little while?"

Anne and Marge looked at each other. Don and his brother-in-law waited for their wives to make the decision.

"Ok" Anne said, "but only for a short time."

The girls agreed, their brothers just kept silent.

Don said, "Here are the new rules. Jack, Anne, and I get our shirts back so we are all even. There is no betting. The losing team has to remove one item of clothing each. Socks count as one item, shoes don't count."

Everyone accepted the new rules. Jack and Marc removed their shoes. They were the only ones wearing them.

Sally said, "Kim and I are not wearing any socks. What do we do?"
