College was over. And for most kids, it was time to kick back and relax. Joshua sure thought so, because he made sure to invite everyone in his class to his parents' mansion. Among them were four friends: Elissa, Bailey, Carol, and Michel. They all knew that Josh was a fun guy, and that he could afford a whole lot of nice stuff for a party.
The event itself took place less than an hour after their classes mutually let out at 1 pm, with Michel driving everyone over. The party quickly kicked into gear, with champagne bottles popping, loud EDM blasting through speakers, and guys and girls alike swapping kisses and holding hands before sneaking inside. Amid it all, Bailey ran into Josh as he was bringing up another case of booze.
"Man, how do your folks allow you to do all this shit? It'll take all night to clean up!!!"
"Simple. I'm emancipated. That means I own this house."
"Then what about the money?"
"Trust fund. Listen, I noticed you and your friends aren't having much fun. Care to tell me why?"
"Well, none of us really know anyone, and it's really loud and noisy, and people running around. It's just not our scene."
"I get it. In that case, how about I treat you all to something special?"
"Really?"
"Of course. You only graduate from college once. It has to be special. Just tell your friends to stay until everyone leaves. We'll take off around 6."
Eventually, everyone did leave. Josh then gathered the four friends for a meeting.
"Now, my family's wealth is tied up in a lot of investments. One of them is the public zoo, which they paid very generously to renovate. Tonight, you're all getting a free ticket in, with absolutely no one else inside. How's that sound?"
No one had any visible objections, so Josh continued. "That being said, there are a couple of ground rules. First, no wandering off. Second, you do whatever I tell you to, no questions asked. Understood?"
Everyone nodded. Satisfied, Josh loaded them into a van and drove over to the zoo.
There, he led them through an unlocked back gate. "Now, before we enter, I need everyone to get naked. Leave your clothes in the van."
Without a word, the four friends stripped and put away their clothes. Naked and barefooted, they followed Josh into the zoo.
Taking a small brochure out of his pocket, Josh starting thumbing through. "Let's see...Carol and Michel, you have a choice. Do you want to go to the primate exhibit or the aquarium? Elissa and Bailey, the mammal cage or the aviary?"
