The Ogden Pruett Challenge

Chapter 6
Mini Mixed Swimming

Chapter Description: Two groups, three boys and three girls separately shrink themselves and inadvertently find themselves skinny-dipping in the same pool after-hours, with neither side willing to expose themselves to the other. Who will win this itty-bitty bare-bottomed battle of the sexes?

Due to budget cutbacks, the town's municipal swimming pool closed at seven o'clock weekdays, five o'clock weekends. 

Perhaps not the best idea because that left plenty of daylight for sneaking illicit swims. Pretty much every kid and teen in town knew this, including two groups of teens who gathered on opposite sides of the locked chain-link fence.

"Ssh!" Mary hissed, slipping around the bushes. A senior and one of the blondest girls in school, she was something of a ringleader, at least in her clique.  "Okay, coast is clear, let's go!"

"I still say this is crazy!" Eve, a sophomore trying to keep up with the older girls, whined. "What if somebody catches us? I'll DIE!"

"Nobody's gonna catch us!" June responded. A brainy girl, her dark hair pulled back in a sensible ponytail, she usually provided the planning for Mary's elaborate schemes. "Once we're shrunk, nobody will even notice us!" She fished some pills out of her purse. "Now hurry up! Take your pills before someone spots us!"

They took their pills. And after untangling themselves from their now-gigantic clothing and wiping the now oversized makeup off their tiny faces, the tiny, naked and prepubescent girls struggled to drag their huge garments under a bush. 

"Hurry up!" Mary simpered in her now higher voice, her lily white bottom clenching and unclenching as she pushed her stylish shoes out of sight. 

"Stupid scrunchy!" Stepping out of the elastic band which had tied her hair back and now hung off her  shoulders like a bandolier, June brushed her hair back out of her eyes. Tossing the scrunchy away, she grabbed her socks, which were longer than she was now, and dragged them across the grass. 

Eve, naked as her namesake, was quickly trying to stash her training bra before the other girls saw it. She was feeling quite self-conscious about her small, underdeveloped chest until she realized she was now completely flat. Mortified, she checked out the others and saw, of course, they were both flat too. Similarly, none of them had pubes or much by way of curves. They were preadolescent girls. 

Mary saw her staring and smirking and folded her arms over her chest. "What are you looking at?" She demanded. "Come on, let's go!"

After hiding their discarded clothes, the tiny girls slipped easily through the chain-link fence and ran toward the pool.

And meanwhile, across the way, three brothers were climbing over the fence.

"Come on, hurry up!" Eighteen year old Greg swung one leg over, then the other, dropping down to the ground. "Hurry before someone sees us!"

"I'd rather they see us now instead of later!" Sixteen year old Chris clambered up the fence. "At least now we've got our clothes on!"

"Guys? Guys, I'm caught! I'm caught!" Thirteen year old Bob, the runt of the litter, struggled and squirmed, one of his belt loops snagged on the wire. "I'm caught!"

Sighing with exasperation, Greg and Chris unhooked their little brother and helped him down. 

"Now come on! Try to keep up!" 

The three dashed over and ducked behind the equipment shed, barely missing the three tiny girls diving into the water. 

"Okay," Greg produced the pills and doled one out to each of his brothers, saving the last for himself. "Let's get small!"

A few moments later, a tiny and very naked Bob was looking down at himself with annoyance.

"Ah, man!" He squeaked, gazing at his bald body."I just got my pubes and now they're gone!"

"How do you think I feel?" A curly-headed, pink-cheeked boy trotted over, blushing all over. 

"CHRIS?" Bob guffawed. "You look like a plucked chicken!"

"Oh yeah?" Chris stood eye to eye with his once younger brother. "That makes two of us!" 

"Knock it off, you guys!" A familiar if much squeakier voice snapped. 

Greg stomped out of the shadows, his prepubescence on full display. The once eldest brother had deflated down to a pale, scrawny, freckle-faced kid, all pointy elbows and bony knees. The two other boys howled.

"Ah, so what?" Greg's face was red as a beet. "You knew we'd be kid-sized when we started out!"

"Yeah, but knowing it and seeing it are two different things!" Bob responded between giggles. He looked straight at the curled up little white worm between his brother's legs. "Wow! You really did shrink! All over!"

"So did you!" Greg snapped back, his voice whinier and more defensive than he would have liked. "Come on! Let's get in the water before someone sees us!"

He stormed past Bob and Chris, his dimpled little bare bottom twitching. Bob couldn't resist; drawing his arm back, he gave the little cheeks a sound, resounding...

WHACK!

"YEOW!"

Clutching his stinging and still vibrating little bottom, Greg whirled around.

"HEY! YOU LITTLE..."

He found himself  standing at just under eye-level with his no-longer baby brother. Smirking, Bob folded his skinny arms over his chest.

"Well..." Greg swallowed. "You just wait until I'm big again!"

"Yeah," Bob smirked. "Right!"

"Ah, stop being so immature!" Greg huffed, his bony chest heaving.

"Sure thing, little guy!" Reaching over, Chris patted the fuming boy's head. 

Greg smoothed his hair back in place. "Knock it off, you guys!"

"Well, it was your idea!" Chris laughed. "Come on, let's go!"

Leaving their clothes scattered on the ground, the three tiny boys raced for the water. 

#

The girls swam in the clear water, their legs kicking, their long hair trailing behind them, their bare behinds pinkish white or whitish pink depending on the light. Suddenly, they heard a sound.

"What was that?" Eve peeped, stopping dead in the water. 

It was Greg's yelp after being smacked on the butt but they had no way of knowing that.

Mary glanced around. "Everybody down!"

They all ducked under the water, three totally unnoticeable pink blurs, their hair fanning out in all directions. They were still submerged when the naked, mouse-sized boys raced over and leapt in the water with what was to them a resounding splash but what to a normal sized human was little more than a plink.

The girls surfaced to see the concave ripples and three pink blurs sinking, then rising under the water. The boys broke the surface, gasping and sputtering, to immediately have their ears assaulted by the girls' screams.

"HEY!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"YOU GET OUT OF HERE!"

The boys gaped at the girls and unleashed an only slightly lower pitched shriek. 

"HUH-HEY!"

"HOW'D YOU GET IN HERE?!"

"DARN IT! YOU BETTER GET OUTTA HERE OR... OR..."

The two groups stared at each other, dropping down to their chins as they dog-paddled  in the water. 

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Whined Chris. "WE'VE GOT NO CLOTHES ON!"

"Hey guys," Bob nudged his bare brothers. "Neither do they!"

They all looked more closely at submerged portions of one another's bodies. 

"Hey! That's right!" Greg's face was still burning red but a smile spread across it. "We caught them skinny-dipping!"

Bob was grinning from ear to ear as he looked over the girls, whose undeveloped bodies were all too visible in the clear water. "Hellooooooo, ladies!" He waggled his eyebrows. 

The girls' faces flushed. Usually, they were high school age and Bob was a little squirt of no consequence to them. Now they were ALL little squirts and he was just as big as they were.

Which, fortunately enough, wasn't that big. 

"Back off, Junior!" June warned him. "You're just as naked as we are!"

"WE caught YOU skinny-dipping!" Mary smirked. "And shrunk!" 

"Yeah!" Eve giggled. "Lookit those little pipsqueaks!"

The boys' smiles dropped, quite unlike their testicles, which were just visible bobbing gently back and forth. 

"Oh... Oh... Oh yeah?" Greg shouted, his face beet red, the rest of him pale pink. "Well, you're small too!"

"Yeah!" Chris's head extended and retracted like a turtle poking out of his shell. "Not much for us to see either! You don't even have boobs yet!"

The girls attempted to cover their flat chests as best they could. 

"So what?" Eve snapped. "You brats ready for your evening bottles?" 

"Look who's talking!" Bob whined back. "You shrimps couldn't even fill up a training bra!" He looked around conspiratorially to his brothers. "Hey guys! Let's goose them!"

The girls' faces paled. "DON'T YOU DARE!"

June's eyes flashed. "If you try to goose us, we'll goose you back!"

"Ick!" Mary made a face. "With those guys, we'd have to wash our hands afterward!"

They glared at one another. 

Greg spoke. "How'd you like it if we went and got dressed and gave you little girls a good spanking?" He threatened.

The girls were momentarily startled, then smug. 

"Go ahead, little boy!"

The boys seemed to consider it a moment. They contemplated swimming across the pool bareass naked... And climbing out of the water bareass naked... And running all the way back to the fence... Completely exposed... In full view of the girls.... Bareass naked...

"W-Well, we got as much right to be here as you do! Why don't YOU go?"

"Well, why don't you?"

The sun eventually set and the full moon rose over the town, shining as pale and as white as the six little full moons shivering in the now chilly water as the two groups bobbed up and down like corks, each determined to wait out the other.

"Duh-duh-duh-damn it! Guh-guh-guh-guh-get OUT of here!"

"Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-no way! YOU guh-guh-guh-get out of here!"

Meanwhile, the local raccoons emerged from their burrows and began to explore, searching for food and anything else that interested them. Presently, they discovered the caches of abandoned clothing and took to examining them,  dragging off a piece at a time to inspect more closely at their leisure. 

Presently, there wasn't a stitch left. And the boys and the girls continued their shaky-voiced argument, all of them naked as the day they were born and considerably much smaller. 

"Oh, wuh-wuh-wuh-we'll get you furrrrrrh this! You get out of here!"

"YOU guh-guh-guh-get out of here!"
