The Uncovering Past

The future.

 

At one point, colonizing the galaxy was merely a dream, reserved for science fiction movies and researchers.  What was beyond the Earth’s solar system?  Other planets?  Aliens?  Secrets?  Humanity had heeded careful lessons that science had taught it, and eventually made heavy investments into space exploration.  They needed to find out what was beyond the solar system, not just for curiosity, but for survival.

 

They had succeeded in colonizing other planets in the far reaches of the galaxy.  Other worlds were thriving, developing atmospheres, and even successfully growing crops.  It was crucial that they did this, too.  What were once Earthlings, had outlived the Earth.

 

The Sun that the Earth had orbited for billions of years finally began to swell up and expand, as all stars did towards the end of their life cycles.  It wasn’t quite big enough to become a supernova, however, it soon enveloped the Earth, cindering it to nothing.

 

Humanity knew this would happen, and had successfully moved everyone to the new colonies elsewhere in the galaxy, but that didn’t make losing their original home any easier.  Eventually, the sun had collapsed into a white dwarf.  It, and all the matter that made up the Earth, had become heavily compressed.  Everything that ever was, was now a large diamond like object.

 

All of these things happened over the course of millions of years.  Humanity spent a long time focusing on survival, but still thrived.  The memory of the Earth, however, went through an evolution.  First it was documented history, but eventually that history seemed so long ago, it soon became more of a legend, and then more of a myth.

 

Cultures and ideas changed.  Humanity’s actions were unrecognizable compared to how it was in the so called, “two thousands.”  

 

Proof of the Earth, and critical chapters of human history, supposedly existed, but they were lost.  The time of Earth was so long ago, that Humanity had doubts about whether or not it was even real.  Some believed the Myth of Earth to be merely that, a myth. 

 

That was all about to change…

 

Melina was a young woman who had taken upon herself to look into the lost history of Earth.  While it was a fascinating story to most people, Melina believed it to be something more.  She was fascinated with learning about the supposed Origin Planet, and often visited the History Center.  It had all kinds of exhibits about what Earth supposedly was, and what humanity did there.  There was also a calculator to tell how old someone was by the Old Earth calendar.  Melina would be twenty two.

 

“What is this thing?”  said Melina, holding a small chip.  

 

“I suspect this artifact was called a Micro SD Card,”  said Professor Moobi.  She had once explored the galaxy looking for history, being an archeologist.  Now in her age, she ran a museum, looking to pass a torch.  “I believe it was said to be capable of holding two hundred and fifty six Yottabytes.”

 

Melina glanced at Professor Moobi.  “Just Yottabytes?  How did they fit anything on these things?”

 

“I understand that all of Earth’s documented history can fit on one of those things.”  Moobi said.  “One of these supposedly has it too.”  She said, gesturing towards a box, full of unlabeled Micro SD cards.

 

“Really?”  Melina said looking at it.  “There must be thousands of these in here, how have you not looked through them all yet?”

 

“I’m not quite as energetic as I once was,” Moobi said with a smile.  “Perhaps you’d like to look through these?”

 

Melina froze, then looked up at Moobi.  “Are you serious?  All of these?  That… that feels like so much!”  She said, suddenly shaking a little with shock.  The prospect that something great was in there excited Melina.  Nothing excited her quite as much as learning about history.

 

“Melina, out of everyone to ever set foot in this museum, nobody has shown the enthusiasm you have.  Do what I can’t, prove the Earth was real.”

 

There was a silence, as Melina shook with a little excitement.  “I’ll do it!  I won’t let you down, Professor!”

 

“Great!  You’ll need this to be able to read those things,” Moobi said, handing Melina a pad with a circle on it.  “Just place one of those chips on the pad, and you’ll be able to read it.”

 

“Got it!”  Melina said with a nod.  She picked up the box and headed towards the door.

 

Melina stepped out of museum, heading down a set of stairs.  The light of a nearby star worked much in the same way as the Sun did for Earth.  Officially, it was called “New Cygnus,” though Melina liked to think of it being just like what the original Sun was like.

 

It produced light and heat the same way, shining down on Melina’s long hair.  The brunette always had a fascination with how her clothes looked when the sun hit them.  Something always looked off, as if it wasn’t reacting to light right, at least not the same way it did to any plant life she saw.  In truth, the people of this era wore skin tight suits, that projected solid holograms outward.  Anyone could create any look they wanted with the holo suits, and it still felt like real clothing.  

 

There were some theories of how people dressed on the origin planet, and Melina used those theories to fashion her wardrobe.  Melina had a relatively plain look, almost like a librarian.  Atop, she had what was called a bra, a t-shirt, and a sweater.  Her lower half had these things called panties, a skirt, socks and shoes.  Only one detail was spared and that was glasses.  She attempted to wear them, but they hindered her vision.  The best she could understand with that was maybe vision correction treatment wasn’t freely available to anyone that wanted it.

 

The brunette made her way out the front door of the library, and stood on a glowing pad.  A hologram appeared in front of her, appearing to be an outline of a hand.  She placed her hand on it, and there was a glow and a hum.

 

“Hello Melina,” said a voice.  “Where would you like to go today?”

 

“Home.”  She said, holding the box of old SD cards in one arm.

 

“Processing… destination found!  Say ready when you are prepared to teleport.”  replied the voice.

 

“Ready.”  Melina said, and closed her eyes.  There was a bright flash, and Melina had vanished.  

 

In another building there was a flash, and she reappeared.  She smiled, setting the box of SD cards down, and walked around the main living room of her home.  It was a pretty cozy building.  She had one roommate living with her, her long time friend Michelle, though she wasn’t due home for several hours.  

 

Not that Melina minded.  They were good friends, but if Melina had something interesting to study, then that was where the entirety of her focus was.  And today, she most certainly had something she wanted to focus on.

 

She stepped towards the window, which had a very dark tint to it.  With a small wave of her hand, a circle lost its tint, revealing the outside world.  There was still a lot of daylight shining on the silver buildings that made up the city.  Melina moved her hand in a larger wave, removing the tint on the window entirely, letting all the natural light in.  She preferred to work in the more natural light whenever possible.  Something about it just felt right.

 

With the living room set to her liking, Melina sat on her couch and looked inside the box.  The pad sat atop the pile of little SD cards.  Supposedly, one of them had a well documented history of the Earth. A record of everything that humanity had created was believed to have been preserved.  

 

Melina took out the digital pad and set it on the table.  “I hope this thing works,” she said, reaching into the box for one of the thousands of SD cards it contained.  None of them were labeled, so searching was bound to take a few hours.  Still the thought of uncovering history pressed her on.

 

Eventually a hologram appeared, showing things stored on the card.  Melina leaned forward expectantly, thinking that she had found something big on the first try.  Schematics began to appear in the hologram, and they seemed to resemble some space ships.  They were dated for about one thousand years ago.  Interesting, but far more recent than the year range Melina was hoping to find.

 

After a few more minutes of scanning through it, Melina soon decided that this SD card wasn’t the one she was after.  So she swapped the card for a different one.  The next one had some exploration records from further back in the past, when humanity was colonizing various planets.  Still not back far enough.

 

Melina’s search continued for a couple of hours, going through various SD cards.  While expanding the historical archive was interesting, Melina wasn’t finding proof of the long lost planet that Humanity originated from.  She shook her head, feeling frustrated, and nonchalantly threw the next card onto the scanner.

 

It began its scanning, and seemed to take a moment longer than the other cards usually did.  At this point, Melina was ready to call it a day and continue searching through these cards later.  The scanner made a noise that sounded like it was grinding something.  Melina was beginning to wonder if she had a damaged card.

 

Then, the grinding noise stopped, and the hologram appeared.  Only this one was a rectangle.  This caught Melina’s attention.  All the others provided a three dimensional image of their contents.  This rectangle was displaying folders.

 

“Interesting…” Melina said with growing curiosity.  She was beginning to believe she may have just found something very close to what she was looking for.  She leaned forward, looking at the folders.  

 

One was labeled “Time Capsule Archive”.

 

“I wonder how this works…” Melina said.  She reached out towards the hologram, and tried to pinch the folder between her fingers, and pull it towards her.  However, the folder remained in place.  The brunette tilted her head with an eyebrow raised, and attempted to pry open the folder again.  The same non-result was produced.

 

“There must be some kind of security to this one, but what could it be…?”  Melina put a hand to her chin.  “Computer, make a backup of this archive,” she said, still trying to think of how to open this folder.

 

“Beginning backup sequence.”  Replied a voice.

 

Melina crossed one leg over the other and leaned back in her chair, propping her chin up under her thumb.  This screen with folders was so peculiar.  The folders were right there but she wasn’t sure how to open them.  She tapped the table with the fingers of her free hand, trying to think of what to do.

 

“Backup sequence complete,” replied the voice.

 

She nodded, and stood up.  “Alright, now to figure out how to open this folder.”  Melina looked at the hologram, seeing the folder.  Once again, she attempted to open it by trying to physically grab the folder.  Again, the folder refused to comply with how a folder normally worked, staying in place instead of coming free of its windowed border.

 

“Oh come on!”  She stomped her foot and narrowed her eyebrows.  “I finally find an interesting card to check and I can’t even look inside.  This isn’t fair!”  Melina groaned in frustration.  “Computer, why can’t I use this folder?”

 

“Analyzing… there are no restrictions found on this physical storage media.”

 

“Then why can’t I open it?”  Melina asked, scratching her head.

 

“No access restrictions found.  You have full access to all of the contents.”

 

Something wasn’t adding up.  How did she have access to everything when she couldn’t open the folder?  With a little huf, she gave a determined look at the folder and tried to grip it.  Still nothing.

 

“Oh come on!”  She said, finally losing her temper and flailing her arms at the folder.  “Open up!  I want to see what’s insiiide!”  she said throwing a tantrum.

 

Her hands would quickly pass through the hologram.  And each time, there was a quiet “click” sound.  The folder had turned blue, and suddenly, the folder vanished, and instead was replaced by more folders.  Dozens of folders appeared on the hologram window, but little did Melina realize, that her flailing arms kept passing through the folders, opening more and more.

 

“What’s wrong with this stupid thing!  It just won’t…”  Melina paused, her look of irritation giving way to confusion.  The results of her tantrum had moved her through folders, and she wasn’t sure how she created so many more.  “Umm… what happened?”

 

“It’s emulating an old graphic interface.  This one is referred to as ‘Windows.’  You would tap things to view them, instead of trying to open them.”  the computer voice explained.

 

“Interesting…”  Melina said looking over the folders.  “This seems like really old technology… that must mean I’m close to finding the past!”  She said with a bright smile on her face.

 

It took some time for Melina to get used to how to move through the various folders.  Eventually, things did come together and begin to make sense to her, and soon navigating folders became simple.  Everything was sorted in different ways, political leaders, history, popular culture, and many other folders.  The most interesting thing to Melina at the moment was maps and geography.

 

She felt her heart racing as if she had discovered something important.  Before her eyes was a file labeled “Three D Globe of Earth, two thousand to two thousand five hundred.”  Melina was ready to jump out of her seat, shaking with anticipation, and clicked on the icon.

 

It quickly appeared in front of her.  No special logo’s or lights went off.  Just a simple graphical representation of the long forgotten planet that humanity came from.  Large continents, and even larger oceans covered its surface.  There was a subtle blue glow that warmed the room.

 

Melina looked in complete awe, feeling like a long time goal had been reached.  She had spent so much time working towards this that she wasn’t sure what to do.  All she could do was stare and take in the beauty of Earth.

 

The brunette really wanted to sink her teeth into the contents of this chip that contained the history she sought so much.  After admiring the view of Earth for a little longer, she decided to begin studying humanity itself.  Figuring out what they were like and what they liked to do.  Her computer system was better able to archive things, and soon it was able to search for things easier..

 

As it turns out, the humans of old were a race that liked to observe things.  Literally trillions of videos were contained on the SD card, and Melina didn’t have any hope of watching them all in her lifetime.  She needed a good way to go through what was there if she wanted a more clear idea of what humans were like.

 

“It’s so interesting,” Melina said taking notes.  “They didn’t have procedurally generated fiction.  People had to imagine things themselves…”  She recorded this finding on another hologram that was kept nearby.  “It’s beautiful they worked like that… but I need to know what day to day humans were like.”

 

Melina cleared her throat.  “Computer, show me non-fiction videos.  The most popular ones that used to be on this… internet.”

 

“Sorting… here are the results for the most popular videos on the Old Earth internet.”  replied a voice.

 

She glanced at the list of videos, and saw the first listed one, entitled “The Evening.”  Melina shrugged, reached out into the hologram window and clicked on the icon.  A large screen appeared, and the video began.

 

On the screen, the face of a blonde girl appeared, and she slowly moved away from the camera.  She smiled and nodded, looking happy.  

 

“Helloooo world,” she said slowly with a pleasant wave.  She winked and lowered her voice to sound a little deeper and said.  “Ready for a nice evening?”

 

Melina gave a blank stare, trying to take note of every detail that she was seeing.  The girl in the video was wearing a plain white tee shirt, and some bright blue yoga pants.  Her long hair reached past her shoulders.  Her tee shirt looked to be a little bit too small for her, tightly hugging her chests.  Her bra pressed outward, being visible against the fabric.

 

“This must be before holographic clothing, her shirt looks a little tight,” Melina thought.  

 

“I’m gonna show you how I like to enjoy a nice evening,” the blonde girl added, with a hint of blush on her face.  She took a few steps backwards, and reached both of her arms upwards, and began to stretch.  Her chest pressed outward as she began, further straining the fabric of her shirt.

 

The attention given to this girls chest was odd to Melina.  She had never seen anything like this before.  There were some theories that over time, humanity celebrated their bodies less, with survival taking priority while colonizing planets.  But that didn’t prepare Melina for what she was seeing.

 

“Ah heh heh,” the girl in the video giggled.  She stared directly at the camera, making sure her eyes stayed locked on it.  “A great evening is all about being comfortable,” she explained.  “Gotta think a lot about what touches your skin.”  

 

With a wink, a hand went down to the hemline of her shirt, and pinched some of the soft fabric between her fingers.  She slowly lifted the bottom of the shirt a little bit, showing the waistline of her pants, and a little further before revealing some of her abdomen.  Her skin looked smooth and soft.  She didn’t appear extremely fit like Melina was used to seeing, however, it seemed like this girl took the time to keep her figure in shape.

 

Melina’s eyes were slowly widening.  What was this girl doing?  Why was she showing off her stomach?  Why was seeing this making her heart flutter?  She felt curious but in a different way than how she felt when she was studying.  Melina couldn’t stop staring at what the screen was presenting.

 

The girl’s free hand joined the busy one, and tugged the shirt further and further up, eventually exposing her belly button.  Then she began to slowly run a hand over her stomach, letting a fingernail trace a small circle.  She then turned around, but turned her head to keep focused on the camera, as she showed how her lower back was exposed.

 

The brunette was speechless as the video continued.  Why was this girl exposing herself?  What was she doing?  Why couldn’t Melina look away?  Why was there this sense that she might be watching something she shouldn’t?  From what she could tell, this was forgotten, not forbidden, and yet something still felt taboo about what she was seeing.

 

As the blonde kept the smile on her face and her backside facing the camera, she let a hand glide over her warm skin, and let her fingers dance near the top of her pants, making sure the camera was recording her actions.

 

“Of course, sometimes our natural state is the most… comfortable one.  If nobody’s around… I like to… get closer to that.”  She said, letting a finger slip between the fabric of her pants and her body, and tugged downward.  This time, instead of skin, some thinner, pink fabric came into view.  Melina believed it was the girl’s underwear, she had some of her own thanks to her hologram clothes.

 

The slow tugs eventually brought the yoga pants down to the blonde girl’s thighs, before she stopped pulling.  She let out a sigh, still giving her seductive look at the camera.  Then she brought her hand and slowly rubbed her lower back, going lower and lower until finally giving her own bottom a squeeze.  

 

Melina fidgeted in her seat, feeling her own blush grow a little hotter.  This kept getting stranger, but she couldn’t look away.  Was this what the people of Earth really liked the most?  The near hypnotic video was having a powerful effect on the brunette, unsure of why anyone would take off their clothes this way.  Clothes had purpose, from protection to comfort to warmth to the convenience of pockets.  And yet the girl in this video seemed to be… enjoying taking things off.  

 

The brunette could feel goosebumps over her skin underneath her own clothing.  She shook her head.  This seemed like something that should be watched privately, and she should continue it later.

 

“Pause the video,” Melina stated.

 

The blonde let out a sigh before the video froze in place.

 

“E-estimated time to the return of my roommate?”

 

“Roommate Michelle is experiencing unexpected delays at her workplace.  Her list of tasks also included important shopping.  Estimated time of arrival, three hours.”  The computer voice explained.

 

Melina nodded.  “Maximize tint on the windows,” she stated.  The windows began to darken, removing some of the light from the room.  She liked the light, but this video felt like something that should be viewed more… privately.  “C-continue the video.”

 

The video resumed, and the girl finished her sigh.  Melina fidgeted, unsure of what was going on in the video.  All she knew was that watching this girl was making her body temperature rise.  Her legs pressed together, wondering what the girl in the video would do next.

 

Slowly, ever so slowly, the girl turned around, now showing off her panties.  “Some nice smooth fabric,” she said, slipping a finger into her panties, and slowly sliding it around her waistline.  “It barely even feels like it’s on.  It’s great comfort.”

 

The blonde girl’s hands returned to her shirt, and resumed tugging upwards.  “But sometimes, for the sake of comfort,” she continued, as the shirt climbed higher and higher, now just below her chest.  She then leaned forward, looking directly at the camera, and in a way, making eye contact with Melina, before whispering, “less is more.”  

 

Her blue eyes stayed locked on the camera, as she pulled her shirt up.  The fabric quietly slipped up her chest, before sliding over her head, pushing her hair forward with it, before the hair slipped through the neck hole.  She pulled the shirt over her arms, and let it fall to the ground, before she stood back up properly.

 

A bra that matched the panties was now in view, hugging her breasts.  The blonde threw her head back and ran her fingers through her hair to fix it, proud to show off her underclothing.  She gave a little shiver, and raised her arms, pressing her wrists together.

 

“It’s a nice little shock to feel the air of the room where it normally doesn’t touch.”  The blonde said, “but before long, there’s nothing quite like it.”  

 

The blonde girl leaned back, this time pushing her hips forward, showing off her panties.  Her hands were pulled away, making sure her pelvic region had an uninhibited view.  Melina’s eyes couldn’t move from this show.  What this girl was displaying was something that should be private, and yet she was proud to bare everything.

 

“Being comfortable means getting a good feeling all over,” the blonde added, before putting her hands to her pants, and resuming pushing them down.  Like with her shirt, she took this action slowly, and made sure to enjoy exposing every new bit of skin to her viewers, trying to savor the feelings.

 

Melina was almost in a trance, watching this girl enjoy herself.  The blonde girl on the video seemed all too happy to let her pants slide down her legs, crumpling on the floor.  She stepped out of them, and kicked them aside.  All that remained now was her pink underwear.

 

“Mmm… comfy,” she added never taking her eyes off the camera.  “I feel like my skin can really breathe.  I can take in all sorts of nice textures,” she said, adjusting her stances to stretch her legs, before taking a few steps back to a seat.  The blonde girl lowered herself slowly, and sank into the cushions of the couch.  She began to sink in slowly, and then sunk in a little further, causing her to swing her legs up.  

 

“Oooh!”  She gasped in surprise.  Then she smiled at the camera and gave a giggle.  “I love an old couch.  You just keep on sinking in.”  She then spread her legs, and elevated her hips, making sure the camera was directed between her legs.

 

“Oh my gosh,” Melina put a hand near her mouth in shock of what she was seeing.  Why was this girl proudly showing off her…. Her…

 

“Sometimes, even the tiniest bit of clothes on your body can make you feel like you’re trapped though.  And all you want, is to be free…”  The blonde said, taking deeper breaths as she began to reach behind her back.  She leaned up, giving a glance at a nearby door.

 

Almost in response to her actions, Melina gave a glance at the teleporter.  If her roommate walked in on her watching whatever this was…  Melina shook her head.  There was time to figure out what this was.  She was learning about human culture.  And apparently, taking one’s own clothes off was part of their culture.

 

Even though the blonde girl was having fun in the video, she kept taking glances at a nearby clock and then at the door.  Her breathing steadily became deeper, audible to any viewers, as her blush grew.  She continued to have her hands at the back of her bra.  Melina was unable to see what was going on, but by this point, she was able to predict what was happening next.  

 

That bra was coming off.  

 

There was a quiet snapping noise, and the cups loosened.  The blonde girl was showing signs of being nervous, but she still had a smile on her face.  She pinched part of the bra between her fingers, and slowly pulled the bra away.  She closed her eyes and hummed as the bra slid over her skin.

 

The blonde girl’s breasts came into view.  Melina felt frozen in place at the sight of them.  Her brain kept coming back to one word.  Why.

 

Why was this girl doing this?  Why was this so much fun?  Why did she look nervous?  Why did she keep going if there was a reason to be nervous?  Why couldn’t Melina stop watching?

 

Why did Melina feel tempted to try it?

 

Melina shook her head, and tried to keep focus.  The blonde girl curled her toes and let out a sigh as her hands slid up her stomach and reached her breasts, giving each one a squeeze.  She was doing her best to make sure everything stayed in view of her camera.  A slow moan escaped her lips, as her hands found their way to her panties.

 

“No way…” Melina whispered under her breath.  She pressed her own legs together.

 

The blonde girl tilted her head and smiled at the camera.  “Just one more thing to go,” she said, adding a teasing one.

 

Her thumbs slid between the panties and her skin.  She began to breath a little heavier, taking another glance at the door and then the clock. Her face was at the brightest shade of red it could be.  Slowly, ever so slowly, she began to push her panties down her legs, only this time, she carefully lifted her legs.

 

From the view Melina had, she could tell the panties were no longer secured around this girl’s hips.  She had lifted her legs, so the fabric was still blocking the view of everything they were meant to cover.  The blonde girl licked her lips, keeping her eyes locked on the camera.  She slowly pulled her legs back in and sank a little further into the couch.  

 

The blonde girl’s positioning was careful.  With her legs pulled in and her bare feet angled down, the panties were able to slide down her legs, while she was still covering the view of her womanhood.  She pressed her legs together for good measure.

 

This continued to have a strange effect on Melina.  The brunette knew what the girl in the video was covering.  She knew what women were supposed to look like.  But for some reason, this girl’s efforts to cover herself, made her want to see it more.

 

Finally, the blonde slipped the panties off her legs, and held them up.  She was entirely naked.  “Ahh… that’s so much better.  I feel sooo comfortable.  Remember, it’s important to set yourself free.”  She said with an added wink.  The blonde took the bra in one hand, and the panties in the other, and tossed them away from the couch she was sitting on.  “You’re not free, until you’re out of reach.”  She said, slowly running her hands up and down her skin.

 

“I… I can’t believe it… she took off everything…”  Melina said in a barely audible whisper.

 

“And now, to have a little fun…”  the blonde girl said, taking a deep breath, and letting a hand slide down her stomach, gravitating towards the area between her legs.  “This is the most important part in getting comfor-”

 

Ding dong!

 

“Ahh!”  Came a sudden yelp, both from Melina and the blonde girl in the video.  Melina looked around frantically, seeing no sign of her best friend.  Then she returned her attention to the video, seeing the blonde girl tightly wrapping her hands around her intimates.

 

“Uh oh…”  She said, squirming to climb out of the couch she had sunk into, reaching towards the camera.

 

Melina’s heart was racing.  This girl was about to be seen without any of her clothes!  It was absolutely exciting to her.  What happened to this girl?  Why did taking clothes off have such a hold on her?  

 

The girl finally managed to get off of the couch, and quickly run towards the camera.  Her face was at its brightest shade of red before the video went black.

 

The brunette took a deep breath of her own.  “C-computer… what was going on?  Did humanity get naked like this often?”

 

“Scanning…. It seems that the most common reasons for the removal of clothing included sanitization and changing of clothing.  Next is reproduction.  What you just witnessed, appears to be for excitement.”  The computer voice explained.

 

Melina took a few deep breaths.  That idea seemed absolutely crazy, but as she began to glance at her own clothing, she soon realized that the feeling of curiosity had a powerful hold on her.  It always did, and she was always fascinated with the past and try doing things the way they were supposedly done in the past.  But nothing made her heart race in quite the same way that video did.

 

“E-estimated time until Michelle returns home?”

 

“Estimated time is two and one half hours,” the computer replied.

 

That seemed like a reasonably long period.  But just what was Melina planning on doing with it?  She wasn’t really thinking about imitating the girl from the video, was she?  It certainly looked exciting…

 

Melina took a moment to glance over her own clothes.  She liked exploring different attires of past periods, but something never felt quite right.  They weren’t real clothes, after all.  They were solid holograms, so they just felt like they were real clothes.  They were physical light, and didn’t react to natural light the same way any other solid object would.

 

With another glance at the clock, Melina thought about doing the things the girl in the video did.  She could take part in what was, apparently, humanities favorite pastime.  Taking off clothes.

 

Melina’s fingers clenched and then relaxed, as she took another look at the clock.  There was plenty of time.  What could go wrong?  As long as she kept an eye on the clock, she could avoid the trouble the girl on the video found.  

 

She decided to start small, and took her seat back on the couch, and lifted one leg.  Melina then proceeded to grab her shoe, and slowly slide it off of her right foot, revealing a plain white ankle sock.  

 

Melina wiggled her now freed up toes, and lowered her foot.  There normally wasn’t much thought to this process, but she took notice of new feelings when her foot reached the floor.  

 

The floor was simple.  Firm.  Flat.  A bit cool to the touch, which contrasted greatly from what little warmth her shoe provided.  It wasn’t that Melina had never walked barefoot in her home before, just never with a purpose to go further than barefoot.

 

She repeated this process with her left shoe, raising the leg and sliding off her footwear, and setting it aside.  Then she brought her other foot down, and took in the feelings that came from intentionally reducing cover.  

 

Her socks offered little in the way of grip to the hardwood floor.  She was easily able to have them slip and glide around, thanks to her socks reducing friction.  A blush was creeping up on her cheeks as she thought about what she was doing.  It seemed silly to have fun doing this, but having this small amount of cover being lost was making her heart race in a way that she never felt before.

 

She had to go further.

 

Melina took a moment to look over her upper half.  The most easily visible piece of clothing on her body was her sweater.  It was a red, almost purple color, with some buttons that went down the front.  Most people thought it looked boring compared to other things believed to have been worn in the past, but Melina liked it.  It was warm, and she felt smarter wearing it.

 

However, for her current experiment, it had to come off.  So, she reached towards the center of her sweater, and began to undo the buttons.  An idea rang in her head.  Each button that came undone, was a step closer to doing what that girl did.  Every time Melina undid a button, her sweater got a little looser, and she would get a little closer to taking everything off.

 

The last button came undone, bringing a white tee shirt into view.  She could feel her face warming further, as she angled her knees inward.  Melina couldn’t explain it, but she was very susceptible to the effects of what she was doing.  Despite removing cover that played a major role in keeping her warm, she could feel her body temperature rising.  Currently, the only thing stronger than her building adrenaline rush was her curiosity.

 

She carefully slid the sweater off over her shoulders, letting it crumple into a pile behind her.  Now a lot more skin was on display.  Not necessarily skin that needed to be kept covered.  Just most of her arms.  But Melina knew there was a difference between dressing lighter for comfort, and what she was doing.

 

Melina reached behind her and grabbed the sweater.  She looked at it for a second, wanting a little more space to do what she was doing.  So, without much thought, she tossed it aside to a nearby chair.  

 

As the sweater was tossed aside, it suddenly vanished from sight!  Melina gasped and put a hand over her mouth, surprised by what had just happened.  Where did her sweater go?  It wasn’t just out of reach, it was just -gone-.  It was like cover had been permanently lost.  

 

“W-where is… how did it disappear?”  Melina said out loud, and getting up off of the couch to look at the chair where the sweater should have landed.  There simply was no telling what happened to the sweater.  Melina put a hand to her head and began to think about the sweater, and that was when realization hit her.

 

She wasn’t removing real clothes.  They felt real, but they were just holograms.  Solid light.  She wore a bracelet that let her design whatever look she wanted, but if the holographic clothes moved too far from the bracelet, they would simply disappear.

 

Melina turned around and looked to where her shoes should have been, and confirmed what was going on.  The shoes appeared to be transparent.  Barely at the edge of the range that they could exist at.  She slowly took a step backward, and saw the hologram of the shoes get a little thinner, before disappearing completely.

 

It was just like what happened with her sweater.  Once it was out of range, it no longer existed.  She sighed with a giggle, and sat back down on the couch.  This event reminded her that her clothes were holographic, and with a tap of a button, she could reset her outfit and have it back right away.  

 

She thought a little bit more about how her clothes had disappeared.  They weren’t merely tossed away.  They were just gone.  Phased from existence.  That was something that couldn’t really happen to the girl in the video.  In a way, what Melina had was more interesting.  She couldn’t merely reach for her clothes to have them back.

 

As Melina sat there, she looked over her remaining clothes.  A white tee shirt, a skirt, and a pair of socks.  Beneath her outer clothing was some panties and a bra.  Nothing overly revealing, in fact she would sometimes dress like this to do work at home.  It was far from out of the ordinary, but Melina was far from done thinking about the comfort that was talked about in the video.

 

Melina hooked a finger into one of her socks, and pressed downward, while pulling her foot up.  The soft fabric was easily tugged free from Melina’s foot, leaving it bare.  She repeated this with the other foot.  With the socks tucked into being little balls, Melina smiled.  She leaned back, and tossed one of the socks across the room.  It didn’t even go halfway before the hologram faded out and disappeared.  She repeated this with the other sock, watching more clothing fade out of sight.

 

Her heart rate was beginning to pick up, and she took a few deep breaths.  She was trying this first hand, and she still didn’t understand why taking clothes off was so fun.  All Melina could tell for sure was that doing this was causing an adrenaline rush.  She was more aware of the sound of her own breathing, the warmth growing all around her body.  

 

She glanced at her wrist band.  The device controlled the hologram generator.  With a tap of a button, she could bring all of her clothes back, and have them in place on her body.  

 

Or, she could use it to remove clothes.

 

Having clothes vanish directly off her body was something that she assumed was not possible in the distant past.  And that was something that seemed all the more exciting to Melina.  She tapped the wristband, and sorted through a few menus.  Before long, she found the button she would have needed to make her shirt disappear.  

 

There was a moment of hesitation.  Melina knew that once that shirt disappeared, she was no longer merely at the point of dressing casually.  She would be quickly approaching being considered undressed.  

 

She took another glance at a nearby clock.  The estimated time to her roommate returning was now at just two hours.  More than enough time to get through everything she wanted to do, and get out of trouble quickly.

 

With one more deep breath, she pressed the button.

 

Her shirt glowed for a moment, and then the glow faded, leaving no trace of the shirt.  Melina’s top half was now covered by nothing but her bra.  She could feel the air of the room better.  

 

The reaction to the sudden disappearance of her clothing was immediate.  Melina gasped and suddenly wrapped her arms around her chest, and held still.  With her face glowing bright red, she needed a moment to think about her reality.  Her shirt was gone.  It had simply vanished from her back.  All Melina could do was hold herself tightly, pressing her knees together.  If she wasn’t holding onto herself, she would be trembling on the couch.

 

She had never taken so much off before.  It was a strange feeling, but it was far from a bad one.  Melina slowly let her hands down and put them at her sides.  She took deep breaths, causing her chest to rise and fall.  Eventually she let her legs spread apart, and started to calm down again.

 

This feeling was amazing.  Just the thought that Humanity had been missing out on this, for who knows how many years, made Melina smile.  It was as if she had discovered the greatest thing Humanity had forgotten.  Simply shedding most of her clothing was giving her an adrenaline rush that couldn’t be compared to anything else.

 

Melina took another glance at her wristband, seeing the button to remove her skirt.  There was another moment of hesitation, albeit it was shorter.  Her finger tapped the button, and she felt her skirt vanish.

 

Despite being seated comfortably on the couch, Melina’s knees wobbled when more skin became exposed.  She took deeper breaths, and moved her hands between her legs to cover herself.  All that remained, were her bra, and her panties.  Everything else had vanished from existence.

 

All Melina could think about would be what would happen if her roommate came home early and caught her like this?  There would be only a brief warning that her roommate was on her way home.  Barely enough time to tap the button to re clothe herself.  If she did it fast enough, her roommate would never know.  

 

Still, Melina had gone quite far.  Some simple white underwear where the only clothing Melina had on her.  So much more skin was on display now.  Melina was nearly naked, and she loved the feeling this created.  

 

The girl stood up, still with her hands covering herself, despite the presence of underwear.  Her heart was racing, and she needed a moment away from the couch before anything else came off.  Melina slowly walked towards a wall and put a hand on it to balance herself.  She looked down over her body, and could see the top of her breasts, the white material of her bra, her smooth stomach, the matching panties, and her legs.

 

She just wasn’t used to seeing someone, much less herself, dressed like this.  Melina wasn’t sure if she should share this discovery with the world or not.  It seemed like getting undressed for the thrill of it was frowned upon in the past.  

 

Melina took a short walk to her roommate’s bedroom, then looked in her own, making absolutely sure she was alone.  Then she looked at the window of their main living room.  The tint was solid black, and was so dark that it looked more like obsidian rather than glass. She slowly approached it, and waved her hand in front of a small part of it.

 

Part of the window turned transparent where she waved her hand.  She could see the outside world.  There was a massive city, with various flying machines going around.  The city was very active at this time of day.  One flying vehicle slowly rose up, right in front of Melina’s window.

 

“Ah!”  She gasped, turning to duck away.

 

The clear part of the window became opaque once Melina turned her head away from it, shielding her from the outside world.  She thought her heart would never slow down.  All Melina could do was breath and shake for a moment, and squeeze her legs together.  She had nearly been seen by someone!

 

“Oh… oh…”  Melina shook her head, and slowly stood up.  There was a nervous twinge in her stomach.  This feeling wasn’t fear though.  It was excitement.  Just the thought of someone nearly seeing her in her underwear was starting to make Melina go a little crazy.  

 

After catching her breath, Melina stood up, and approached the window again.  Still in only her underwear, she waved a spot on the window again, clearing it up.  The vehicle wasn’t present.  Nobody had came back for a second look.  

 

Melina sighed with relief.  That was close.  A bit too close.  After seeing how much the girl in the video wanted privacy, Melina knew that she should probably keep these activities private herself.  What would people think of her if she was just in her underwear?

 

However, she began to think about this.  The window was only cleared near her face.  How much COULD they have seen?  Would they be able to tell how little she was wearing?  What if they saw her shoulders were bare?  Realization caused her eyes to widen.

 

If whoever passed by couldn’t see her underwear, then what would they think?  Would they have believed that she wasn’t wearing any clothes at all?  If they couldn’t see any, why would they believe Melina had any on?

 

Melina grasped herself, holding onto her body.  “Ah!  They think they saw me… naked!”  She shook her head.  She wasn’t naked.  Melina may not have been far from being naked, but she still had clothes on.  They would think she’s naked if they couldn’t see underwear.

 

That is, if they saw her at all.  However, Melina’s mind wasn’t thinking about the odds of whether or not she was seen.  The fact that it was even possible for her to be seen, meant that she was seen.  They saw her face but couldn’t see her clothes.

 

This should have snapped Melina out of what she was doing, but instead, she stared at the window currently with its tint maximized.  She was thinking about something.  Something she might normally say is crazy.  Her breathing was deeper, and she could feel her heart pounding hard in her chest.  She was scared to do this, but she still wanted to do it.

 

She took a deep breath, and then clearly said “Disable window tint.”

 

The blackness on the window began to fade out, and soon it was completely transparent, allowing more natural light into the room.  Melina could now see the outside world, and the outside world, could now see into her living room.  Someone would see her, and they would see that she was not, in fact naked.  She had her bra and panties on.

 

Melina took slow, cautious steps forward towards the window.  Every step she took brought her closer to the world she just revealed herself to.  She could feel her hands shake a little, and she wrapped her arms around herself to hang onto herself.  Adrenaline was the only thing holding her up on her feet.  

 

She stood by the window, barely an inch away from it.  The outside world had various tall buildings that shined brightly in the sunlight.  Various flying vehicles moved across the sky.  Each one contained people.  People that could see her, and see what she was doing.  How little she was wearing.

 

The barely dressed girl stood there and took this in.  

 

“If I stand right here… somebody could see me…”  Melina whispered to herself.  She closed her eyes.  “They’d see me… wearing just a bra and panties… standing right here by the window.”  She fidgeted involuntarily for a moment, before moving her hands, the right one holding her right breast, and the left one holding the left breast.  A gentle squeeze made her feel alive in ways she had no understanding of.  

 

There was warmth all over her body.  There was a pressure in her ears.  She could feel her heart pounding heard in her chest.  There was a urge to reach down between her legs and explore.

 

Her eyes slowly opened, and she saw a vehicle slowly rise up in front of her window.  Melina closed her eyes again, and let a hand glid down her body to indulge in its curiosity.  That was when Melina’s eyes shot open.

 

Somebody was RIGHT THERE!

 

“Ah!”  Melina froze up, her knees shaking as she saw the bus like vehicle floating in front of her, just outside her window.  There was a passenger onboard, currently looking forward.  Their head slowly turned towards Melina.  Whoever they were, they were about to see Melina, nearly naked!

 

“T-tint!  Tint!  Turn on the tint!  Maximize tint!!”  Melina shouted, trying to step away.  She lost her balance as she turned, and fell on her hands and knees.  In her frantic state, she turned her head and looked behind her, seeing the passenger look surprised.  They rubbed their eyes in the middle of a double take, before the tint finally activated, returning the window to obsidian like opacity.

 

They saw her.  They definitely saw her.  She let this happen, and her heart was still racing.  Her blush was bright, because she knew that she had chosen to do this.  She had chosen to undress to such an exposed state, and her reason was absolutely insane.  It was to remove all doubt that she was actually naked in her living room.  

 

Though from what she could tell, the one who saw her didn’t seem to believe their eyes.  They didn’t get a clear look at her.  If they weren’t sure of what they saw, did they think she was actually naked?  The truth didn’t mean anything if they believed something else!

 

Eventually, Melina managed to get back on her feet.  She was still a bit shaky, but even though she knew she should stop, she wanted more.  There was a rush that went through her veins, and it was getting addictive.  Melina wanted to do more, to maximize what she was doing.  And there was only one way to go further.

 

It involved all that remained of her clothing.  

 

Her entire wardrobe was merely just a bra and panties.  Two pieces that separated her from total nudity.  They had to be removed.  Melina glanced at her wrist, where the hologram appeared that controlled her clothing.  She bit her lip and closed her eyes, before reaching for a little red x displayed on the hologram.

 

There was a brief glow, and then Melina felt no clothing on her.  She opened her eyes, and looked over herself.  Both the bra and the panties had vanished.  She was now fully naked.  Just like the girl in the video, she had put her full body on show.  There wasn’t a thread available to put on.  

 

Every inch of her skin, from her ample breasts to her smooth womanhood was uncovered.  There was a slight pink hue to her lips.  Losing the tiny bit of cover made her feel more aware of the air in the room.  Her knees buckled inward as she took in this exposure. 

 

On impulse, her hands moved to covering positions.  Her breasts were secured by her forearm, while her heated womanhood was now covered by her hand.  The only sounds she could hear, were her own heartbeat and her labored breathing.

 

Melina was trying to wrap her head around what she was doing.  Why she was enjoying this so much, and why couldn’t she stop herself.? There didn’t seem to be a detailed answer as to why.  Just that doing this excited her in a way she couldn’t describe.  She didn’t have the words to describe it.  Humanity had forgotten the words necessary to describe it, and even if they hadn’t, she wouldn’t have been able to put them together.

 

She had to do it one more time.  Melina had to face the window and view the outside world.  So, she steadied her breathing, and on shaky legs, approached the window.

 

“Disable tint.”  Came the sheepish words.  Melina glanced at her wrist, seeing the hologram that controlled her wardrobe.  She was doing something truly risky now.  It would be best to be prepared to push that button.

 

Once again, more light was allowed into the room.  The way it illuminated her skin made her more aware that she was naked.  Her steps towards her window, reminder her that this was a choice.  

 

Melina was so nervous she could no longer stand, and instead lowered herself to her knees by the window.  An arm wrapped around her breasts, as the free arm had the hologram on her wrist.  

 

All over her body was responses to her feelings.  The urge to let a hand explore was stronger than ever.  Everything that came from an adrenaline rush, from pulse to breathing felt amplified.  Her eyes darted around, looking at herself, and then outside her window, vigilant for any other passing vehicles.  

 

“I don’t believe it,” Melina said, looking over herself.  “I don’t have anything on… I can’t believe everyone stopped doing this.”  A smile shined through a vibrant blush.  Melina’s body begged to be explored by her hands.  And the voice of reason that argued against it, had gone silent.

 

Slowly, a free hand began to gently squeeze one of her breasts.  Her nipples were as firm as they could be.  Just touching them was sending little tingles through her body.  She knew little of what to do, so her hands were merely giving herself curious squeezes.

 

Lower, her hand went between her legs.  Her fingers slowly slid over a sensitive set of lips.  Melina let out a gasp and shuddered.  There was a small explosion in her brain, and were she not already on her knees, she might have fell down.  Her legs pressed together as a reaction, but her hand remained in place.  She didn’t want to pull her hand away.

 

There was an audible exhale from her.  Her chest rose and fell as she thought about how exposed she was, how she chose to do this.  If anyone saw what she was doing, they’d stop and look at her.  They’d be curious and confused at what she was doing.  She was enjoying things they couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

 

She leaned forward and put a hand on the window to balance herself, as the other kept working between her legs.  As Melina’s fingers touched the hot flesh, her legs twitched and wobbled.  Another deep breath escaped her as tense feeling built within her.  

 

It was then there was a humming noise from outside of her window.  The sound registered in her brain as a thing that happened, but it didn’t trigger a reaction from her, her hand just kept digging and stroking at her womanhood.  Once the sound of the humming got louder, she realized that there was some kind of vehicle outside her window.

 

Melina finally opened her eyes and shook her head.  The sound was getting louder.  Whatever was about to go by was about to pass her window.  

 

“A-ah!”  She finally found a voice to gasp with, and reached for her wrist.  With a tap of a button, there was a bright glow around her body.  Not a second too late either, as she saw a large shipping vehicle pass by.  The clothes finished materializing, as the ship’s pilot glanced Melina’s way before continuing.

 

Melina let out a big sigh of relief.  It was close.  Too close.  Being able to create holographic clothing on the fly had really saved her from a lot of embarrassment.

 

“Turn the tint back on,” Melina said, as she made her way towards the couch to catch her breath.  Once again the windows went black, and Melina was hidden from the world.

 

That near miss was exciting, and Melina was still high on the adrenaline rush.  But as excited as she was, she knew more could happen.  She was trying to be bold, but something was missing.  Melina couldn’t quite put her finger on it.  There was a missing piece of the puzzle that she needed to find, and she wasn’t sure what it could be.  There was a physical need in her to figure out what it was, so she decided to go back to where this began.  The video.

 

Melina watched the video again, taking careful note of everything the girl did.  The time taken to remove her clothes, taking in the feeling of things touching her skin.  Just watching this again was making Melina want to squirm a little more again, but she had to remain focused.  There had to be more to this.

 

Near the end of the video, the girl tossed her clothes out of the view of the camera and away from her.  That was when it hit Melina.  It wasn’t just removing clothing.  It was removing access to them!  

 

“That’s it…”  Melina said, waving her hand to shoo the video away.  She wasn’t nearly as bold as the girl in the video was.  Instead of losing access to clothing, she could be fully dressed with the push of a button.  If that ability was taken away… then she would be doing something impressive.

 

Melina reached towards her wrist to disable all of the holograms and solid light that made up her clothing.  Left in its place of the clothing was a skin tight suit.  This was what hosted the holograms that projected out into solid light to make any clothing.  It was also able to become transparent, allowing her to look naked.  With a few button presses she could go from nude, to fully dressed for an important meeting in a matter of seconds.

 

It had to come off.

 

With a deep breath, Melina pushed a couple of buttons on her wrist band that controlled her wardrobe, allowing the material to loosen enough to be removed.  Normally it didn’t need to be taken off unless it was damaged.  It was easy to clean, even while wearing.  For Melina, this was going to cause a surge in excitement in her.

 

She carefully hooked a finger into the neck hole of the now looser suit, and began to pull outward.  Simply pulling that little bit of material outward away from her neck allowed air to touch some of her skin in ways she hadn’t felt in a long time.  The air in the room was cool compared to her warm body.  

 

Slowly, she continued to remove the suit.  As she peeled the material down, her breasts slid free and swayed slightly, giving freedom she had never felt before.  A long exhale escaped her lips as she wrapped her arms around her breasts.  The suit was just underneath them hugging her torso.  

 

Melina clicked a small button on her wristband, causing it to pop open so she could take it off from her wrist.  Then she proceeded to peel the suit from the rest of her body.  Pulling the material down and exposing more skin was sending tingles up her spine, and made her feel very warm between her legs.  She had to sit down to tug it off of her legs, but when she finally did, she tossed the suit aside in a heap.

 

Now it had happened.  It had truly happened.  She was now as naked as she could possibly be.  Her whole body was now free of any binding fabric and holograms.  There was no way for her to put a hologram on to hide her nudity anymore.  She was free.

 

“I… I did it.  I did it for real this time.”  she said to herself.  Her face was a bright shade of red, but her heart was still racing.  She pressed her legs together, but was still deeply in love with this adrenaline rush.  It was everything Melina could do to not thrust her hands between her legs, and shove them against delicate folds.  She didn’t even understand what doing THAT was, all she knew was that she wanted to do it.

 

Melina glanced at the window again.  Could she do it a third time?  She wrapped her arms around her naked breasts, and kept her legs pressed together, looking at her suit on the floor.  

 

No… this time it was scarier.  The suit was off her body, leaving her without the wristband that would allow her to dress.  She would have no way to cover herself back up if she was seen.  The only option would be to darken the window again.  And for the few seconds that happened, a vulnerable, nude girl would be visible for the world to see.

 

Not having the ability to easily redress was still intimidating to Melina.  Still, she wanted to do something.  

 

So she stood up, her legs shaking with excitement.  Melina wasn’t sure what she was going to do, but she had to do something.  She began walking around the living room, fully naked.  She was awkwardly hunched over, feeling the need to cover her intimate areas, even though nobody was around to see her.  

 

Her suit laid in a crumpled pile on the ground.  Each step took her further and further away from her cover.  If she needed it back on, she would have to run back to get it and awkwardly wrestle it onto her body, and then get the holograms working again so she could be dressed.  Just thinking about all those steps made her feel more vulnerable and exposed.  

 

That feeling made her excited though.  She turned around and looked at that suit one more time.  Then she took a step backwards, making her a tiny bit more isolated from her clothes.  Then the naked girl took another step backwards.  Then she took another.  She could feel her heart being faster, and her breathing was more labored.  The intense heat between her legs made her feel alive.

 

This was the trick.  Separation from cover.  This created a feeling of excitement that couldn’t be matched.  Despite how risky this felt, Melina couldn’t help but smile.  She turned around towards a hallway leading towards her bedroom.  

 

Standing near the door, Melina took another glance at her discarded attire.  She bit her lip.  Part of her was screaming to grab it and put it back on.  Her hand started to push the door open.  She really should have that suit.  Melina began to slowly walk through the doorway.  If she wasn’t going to put it on, she should at least have it near by.  She shut the door and sealed herself inside.

 

The smallest things were driving her crazy.  Limiting her access to clothing, little by little was making it difficult to stand.  So she moved towards her bed and collapsed atop her blankets.  They greeted her completely nude skin with a cool feeling.  She never realized just how smooth and soft her blankets were until her skin made direct contact.  Besides her head, her body was completely hairless and smooth, further making her want feel everything she was touching.

 

Melina’s face was still bright red, a part of her nagging to go grab her suit, but she ignored it.  Her skin on the cloud like blankets just felt too good.  She could barely form words anymore, all she wanted to do was writhe on those blankets.  She rolled onto her back and put her hands on her breasts, giving them a squeeze and letting out a soft moan.

 

Never before had Melina felt something this good in her life.  Her senses were being almost overwhelmed with all of the feelings she was experiencing.  Every inch of skin was unused to feeling these new textures, having been sealed in an airtight suit for most of her life.  Melina could have sworn that she never felt the suit before, but not having it was making a world of difference.

 

She was naked.  Completely naked.  It was a realization that dominated her thoughts.  An electric tingle went through her body every time she ran her hands over her skin.  Everywhere she felt herself, she wanted to touch and pull more.  

 

Still, that little nagging voice in her head persisted.  

 

‘Get that suit!’ it would say.  ‘At least get it in the room!’

 

Melina let out a deep breath, and slowly sat up.  She frowned through her blush.  In a way, it was true.  She should definitely at least get the suit into her room.  So Melina slowly stood up, wrapping her arms around her body to cover herself and approached her door, and then froze.

 

Once she passed that door, she would be out of the privacy of her room.  Being nude in her own room was one thing, being nude in the living room was another.  But she had done it before, she was nude in the living room on her way to her bedroom.  

 

Just thinking about simply being in the living room as she was, was making her shake with excitement.  Her knees wobbled slightly, as if she could crumble at any moment.  A shaking hand reached forward, leaving her womanhood uncovered, and pushed the door open.  

 

The nude girl almost stumbled out of the door, and put both her hands on the wall just outside of her room.  The cold wall made contact with her naked skin, the smooth surface sending a little shock through her body.  She gasped in surprise, before leaning her head against it, and didn’t move.

 

By accident, she was experiencing the full effect of a texture she never even thought of.  It was a smooth metal surface, and cold to the touch.  The stark contrast between that and the warmth of her skin was surprising to her.  Instead of breaking away to focus on getting her suit off the ground, she stayed, and actually began to press her body up against the wall.

 

“Ohhhh…” Melina moaned aloud, as her breathing grew heavier.  The ends of her breasts felt firm against the cold metal and she felt a little moist her between her legs.  An unusual feeling, one that finally made Melina pull herself away from the wall, and then glanced at herself.

 

She wasn’t sure what she was feeling.  Was it sweat?  But wouldn’t sweat be elsewhere on her body too?  This was a new discovery, and a very embarrassing one at that.  She was experiencing arousal but she didn’t have the vocabulary to explain it.  

 

Grabbing the suit was starting to sound like a better idea.  Melina glanced around her home to ensure she still alone, and quickly walked up to her suit.  She picked it up, and held it out in front of her.  Her internal conflict continued.  

 

Part of her screamed to put the suit back on and figure out what was happening with her body.  Another part of her wanted to throw it away and explore more, arguing that she might not get another chance like this any time soon.  

 

She held her suit against her body, and took another nervous glance around, before retreating down the hallway back to her room, holding the suit against her intimates to cover herself.  When she reached her door, she didn’t go in right away.  Instead, she closed her eyes and hesitated.  Then she gritted her teeth through her blush, trying to assemble all of her remaining courage, and began to bunch up the suit into a ball, before tossing it into her room, and shutting the door, sealing herself outside.

 

‘There,’ she thought.  ‘Now the suit is in my room.’  A grin slowly began to form on her face, the concern for what was going on between her legs soon turned to excitement.  She turned and began walking back towards the living room, before sitting back down on the couch like she had done before.

 

Melina stared at the window for a moment to catch her breath.  She was still a little too intimidated to face it again.  Now she was even more without cover than she was before.  Her clothes weren’t in arms reach, they were in another room, while she was completely naked.

 

That feeling between her legs, the one that begged for more touching, was incredibly difficult to ignore.  The nude girl had no idea what those feelings really were, but resisting them was proving difficult.  What she did feel sure of, was that she shouldn’t be seen letting her fingers touch that area.  

 

She wanted to fight off that thought a little longer.  “Computer,” she started.  “Could you repeat what were the common reasons for people to remove all their clothes back then?”

 

“Most common reasons include, but are not limited to, changing of clothes, reproduction, and sanitization.”  The computer stated in its plain voice, presenting pictures to create an example for each reason mentioned.

 

Melina gave a fierce blush when she saw the picture meant to represent reproduction, and tried not to look at it.  However, the sanitization picture caught her eye.  It featured a red headed girl, completely naked and in a bathtub, bubbles covering her body.  She looked very relaxed.  Melina waved the other pictures away, and thought about what she was looking at.  

 

This sanitization method was a bit dated, Melina had read about it before.  The process of cleaning oneself had changed drastically from using water.  Still, that had given her an idea.

 

The nude girl waved the final picture away, and stood up.  She took a deep breath, and knew this idea was a little crazy, but it could be fun.  “Prepare the sanitization tube,” she said.

 

Getting clean was a far different process now.  One would stand inside a tube, and they would be cleaned by warm beams of light instead of water.  The process was very efficient, so much so that nobody even had to take their suits off to be cleaned this way.  Anyone could simply walk into the tube, and be clean in a matter of minutes.

 

This was why Melina found things interesting.  Since one could use these tubes quickly and while fully clothed, they didn’t need to be placed anywhere with privacy in mind.  They could simply be used in the living room.  And that’s where this one was.

 

A floor panel lifted up and moved aside, as a large tube rose from the ground.  Melina felt her heart thumping, having a plan in her head that she knew she probably shouldn’t do.  However, she felt unable to stop herself.  One final rush, and she would stop what she was doing.

 

The naked girl slowly stepped inside of the tube, and let the door seal behind her.  It was seamless, and completely transparent.  She put her hands on the glass and leaned against it.  

 

It was like she had trapped herself inside, completely naked.  Her heart hammered hard, and she pressed her inner thighs together.  She was fully on display if anybody came in.  It took all of her willpower not to let her hands simply do whatever it was they wanted.  

 

“Please specify sanitization settings.”  

 

Melina took a deep breath.  “Lock the door for… thirty minutes… it is not to be opened for any reason.  Then do a standard light cleaning.”

 

“Settings saved.”  said the computer voice.  There was a click and a tightening noise.  

 

Melina was now sealed inside.  

 

The realization of her situation crashed into Melina all at once.  She took her suit off.  She put it in another room.  She went inside the sanitization tube while completely naked, and locked herself in.  She couldn’t get out even if she chickened out of this!

 

“Ahh…”  Melina shuddered heavily, leaning forward and pressing her breasts against the glass.  One hand was pressed against the glass, the other was dangling free.  The fingers twitched, pointing between her legs.  The ability to resist her urges was about to crumble.

 

“Beginning sanitization.”  said the computer voice.

 

Suddenly, Melina’s entire body was illuminated by warm, red light.  It covered every inch of her skin, before narrowing down to a single beam, and focusing on different areas.  Everywhere it glanced over felt warm, almost hot to the touch.

 

Melina always found sanitization to have an interesting feeling, but never before had she done it completely nude.  That warm light on her skin, going around her shoulders felt incredible.

 

“Mmm…”  Melina hummed as she shut her eyes.  The dangling hand inched closer and closer to her womanhood.  Finally, it made contact with the delicate skin, and squeezed what it found.  Her knees felt weak as pleasure pushed through her.  A long drawn out moan escaped her lips as her hand relaxed, and squeezed again.  

 

The warm light slowly traced up and down her back, causing her to lean forward.  Her eyes were shut tight.  She changed her stance, and leaned backward, soon both hands were tending to her womanhood as the light shined over her breasts.  

 

She threw her head back, and began a squeezing and rubbing motion.  Melina had no idea what she was doing.  All she understood was that this felt right.  This felt amazing, and it was a whole new discovery of something beautiful.  

 

Melina let her mouth open, as she panted and moaned more audibly, slowly lowering herself more and more.  The warm light scanned her inner thighs and provided warmth as it worked to clean her.  All the while her skin felt sensitive and alive.  She was so worked up a little bit of drool leaked out of her mouth, shortly after the light making it disappear.

 

The very concept of time had left Melina as she slowly lowered herself to the ground, continuing to rub and squeeze her womanhood.  Something was going to happen, and she didn’t care what it was.  She just wanted it.  Her hands began to move faster, almost naturally.

 

She was completely naked and locked in a tube.  Anybody who appeared would see the very lewd activities she was up to.  And she chose to do this.  After watching one naughty video, she slowly became what she watched, an exhibitionist.  She loved every second of it.

 

Melina couldn’t last any longer.  Her toes curled, and she gave herself the tightest squeeze yet, before she let out a scream.  Her hips bucked, and her body shook, pressing outwards against the tube she was locked in.  As she spasmed involuntarily, a huge wave of pleasure took her mind out of her body and into the stars.  

 

Her breathing began to slow down as her perception of reality slowly began to reassemble itself.  The red lights moved over her skin rather frantically, especially between her legs.  It wasn’t long before she was as clean as she could be.  

 

“Wow… that was incredible…”  Melina said out loud, sitting up slowly as the room stopped spinning.  The feeling was intense, but she felt like the urges had passed.  It was time to go back to her room and put her suit back on.  

 

She stood up and pressed on the outside of the tube.  It did not budge, however.

 

“Computer, I’m done in here, let me out.”

 

“Door cannot be unlocked for fifteen minutes.”

 

“What?”  Melina asked, feeling a little worried.  She was done, her needs were thoroughly satisfied.  It was time to get out!  “Open the tube.”

 

“Door cannot be unlocked for any reason for fifteen minutes.”  the computer said.

 

Melina gave a frustrated sigh.  It seemed like the way to go was to wait things out.  That wasn’t too big of a problem, she’d be fine.  She leaned against the inside of the tube, glanced at the clock and then did a double take.

 

“Computer, e-estimated time until Michelle returns?”  Melina asked.

 

“Michelle is expected to return within ten minutes.”  replied the computer.

 

Melina’s eyes widened.  “Oh no…”  In seconds she felt vulnerable. She was trapped in the tube, completely nude, and her clothing was down the hall in her room.  Her roommate would be back before she would be free from the tube.  Michelle was going to see her for sure.  

 

“No no no no no!”  Melina started patting on the sides of the tube.  “L-let me out!  Please!  I can’t be seen like this!”

 

The naked girl pounded helplessly on the inside of the tube, but she knew she couldn’t get out.  All she could do was wrap her arms around herself as she prepared for her fate.

 

The minutes dragged on feeling like hours, as Melina watched two different timers.  One would show when she would be let out of the sanitization tube, the other, showing when Michelle was expected to return.  Each second passed, but clock that estimated Michelle’s return was always five minutes ahead of her freedom.

 

At this point, Melina was trying to think of an explanation as to why she was naked in the tube.  There was an issue with the tube and disintegrated her suit?  No, it would have hurt her, and there was no sign of any struggle from Melina besides maybe her hair was a little out of order.  Her suit was damaged and she had to take it off?  Well that didn’t explain why she was in the tube.

 

Then Melina glanced at the window and realized something.  The tinted windows.  They were so dark it was bound to draw questions.  She’d have to shut the tint off to hide what was going on, but if she did that, she’d be visible to the outside world and unable to move.  Without her arousal giving her the courage to be on display, she simply shuddered at the thought.  She couldn’t do it.

 

She glanced up at the clocks again.  That was when she saw a change in the estimated time for Michelle’s return.  An extra five minutes and fifteen seconds.  This would give Melina fifteen seconds to reach her room.  There was a chance now.

 

Her heart began beating again, and adrenaline began coursing through her veins.  She could pull this off.  She wouldn’t dare to do anything this risky again any time soon, but if she could just escape unseen, she could do it.

 

The countdown clocks were ticking in perfect sync as Melina looked in the direction of her room.  She HAD to make it.  Another look at the clock and the final seconds began counting down.

 

Ten… nine… eight…

 

‘You can do this Melina, you’re completely naked, you’ll never be able to explain this to her.  You HAVE to do this!’  Melina thought, trying to psyche herself up.

 

Seven… six… five.. four…

 

‘It isn’t even that far.’

 

Three… two… one…

 

“Tube unlocked.”  The computer voice said, as the tube started to slowly open it’s door.

 

There was a hum and a bright glow at the teleporter pad.  Michelle was coming!

 

“Come on… come on…!”  Melina pushed the door open to get out faster.  She was able to stick a leg out of the tube, and then the other.  She was free!

 

“Welcome home, Michelle!”  said the computer voice.

 

Melina turned toward the hallway, and began to run as fast as she could, her bare feet slapping against the floor.  Her breasts swayed freely all over as she did nothing to contain them.  She just needed to get out of sight!

 

The doorway was at her fingertips, as she began to push it open.

 

“Melina?”  said Michelle’s voice.  “Was that you?”

 

“S-sorry!”  Melina hastily said, thinking her heart was about to explode.  She forced the door open and darted in as quickly as she could before slamming it shut.  All that could be heard in her room was her deep breaths of her frantic pace.  She took a few steps toward her bed, and held herself up against to catch her breath.  The very next thing she was going to do was grab that suit.

 

Her door opened.  

 

“Well I hope you aren’t too busy, because I wanted to show you what I just… bought…?”  Michelle’s voice grew weaker, and quieter.  

 

The nude girl slowly turned her head and made eye contact with her friend.  Michelle had nothing but confusion on her face, as Melina’s was an incredibly bright shade of red.

 

“Could I have a minute alone please?”  Melina politely asked.
