Kellie didn’t like how loose her bathing suit was starting to feel. Even though she had the biggest boobs in her entire eighth grade class – a fact she was quite proud of – her top seemed looser than she remembered. However, she did remember that for some reason there was another bathing suit in the car.
“Hey,” she said to 18-year-old Jake, “wanna come with me? I gotta, like get something.”
“Sure,” Jake said. He was getting more and more anxious to spend time with the pretty teen.
The two walked part way over to where her and Katie’s stuff was.
“Wait here a sec,” Kellie said. “I gotta sneak my sister’s keys outta her bag.”
That turned out to be a pretty easy task, as the 21-year old was currently sitting with the group of 38-year-olds drinking and talking.
“Why does she want to hang out with a bunch of old ladies,” the teen thought to herself, not even remotely aware that just 24 hours before she was that age.
Meanwhile, 28-year-old Robert was downloading a comic app on his Kindle, while his 26-year-old wife Andie sunned her shoulders – much easier now that the looser one-pieces’ shoulder straps kept falling down. 27-year-old Jim and Sue were laying on their blanket intertwined. Sue kept kissing Jim’s neck seductively.
“Careful, tiger,” Jim said. “This bathing suit is bigger than I remembered. You don’t want anyone to accidentally see anything do you?”
“Mmm, I want that tall blonde bitch over there to see that you’re mine,” Sue purred, referring to Katie.
The 21-year-old Katie was enjoying margaritas meanwhile with her 6 new 37-year-old friends.
“So, can I ask, do you guys consider yourselves ‘cougars?’” Katie asked.
The women laughed.
“I can tell you for sure Mary Elyse doesn’t,” Claudia laughed, “But I’m single so I don’t mind it!”
“I just think it’s a stupid term!” 36-year-old Mary Elyse said.
“Agreed,” 22-year-old Katie said.
Over at the car, 13-year-old Kellie opened the door and found the bathing suit that Katie had discarded a few hours ago when she was 12. She looked around for a suitable place to change and found a cluster of trees.
“OK, you wait here and no peeking!” she said to the 15-year-old Jake.
“No like I’m totally gonna try to peek!” Jake said with a laugh and a gentle push.
“Ew perv!” Kellie exclaimed, as she scampered off, secretly thinking “a boy likes me!”

“So guys, we almost forgot to tell you something,” 24-year-old Sue said. “Jimmy and I are engaged!”
That got Robert’s attention enough to finally put down the Kindle. “Allright man, congratulations!” he said as he shook his friend’s hand.
“So I guess that means you guys are next,” Sue said. “That would be a great present for Andie’s big 2-3, don’t you think Bobby?”
“Susie Q, don’t start,” Jimmy said. “They’ll get engaged when they are good and ready.”
“Well, Andie’s gotta be my maid of honor,” Sue said.
“Totally!” Andie replied. She looked over and Bobby had already picked up his Kindle and started up his Angry Birds game. “Sigh,” she thought.

“So I guess that diet is working, huh Mary Elyse?” said a brunette woman named Tricia.
“What do you mean?” the 35-year-old said.
“Your suit looks so loose!” Claudia chimed in.
“So does yours!” Mary Elyse replied.
“Maybe mine’s a little loose, but yours looks like tent on you!” Claudia said.
“Oh well, I guess that’s an excuse to go shopping!” Mary Elyse said.”
“Hey guys,” Katie said, suddenly concerned. “Did you see which way my little sister went? That fishing kid is gone too!”
Over by the car, Kellie popped out from behind the tree. Just barely still 13, she saw the 14-year-old Jake waiting for her.
“You didn’t peek, didja?” she asked.
“Nah,” Jake said. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her chest. He was getting a little flustered.
Kellie noticed and with a sly smile grabbed Jake and kissed him. It lasted almost a minute.
It was both of their first kiss – at least in their minds.
And the ring glowed on.
