"Like, can you BELIEVE Shanna said that out loud?" Bethany asked rhetorically, gesturing dramatically with her right hand that was holding an empty slushy cup. The raccoon glanced to her left expectantly, her long black hair hanging over her right shoulder.

"I know!" Valerie agreed from beside her as they walked down the park path, gravel crunching under their feet as well as their other two friends behind them. A bright red fox, Valerie's brown hair was tied back in a ponytail.

It was a beautiful summer day, and the four girls had gotten together to hang out, stopping by the mall to get a few things, each of them carrying a shopping bag. On the way back they made a detour for slushies to enjoy in the hot weather, though they had long since been drunk. What made the whole experience even better was the lack of other people – it would still be a week before school was out, and the four of them had graduated last year, so they were enjoying the peace of the public spaces while they still could.

The leaves of the trees in the park rustled a bit in the breeze as the group made its way leisurely down the path, with not a soul in sight except for a group off in the distance having a picnic. Bethany and Valerie remained at the front of the quartet, and behind them, just far enough away to give some space for Bethany and Valerie's large tails, walked Leilani and Nikita. The former was a yellow-bellied weasel with very long and smooth black hair going most of the way down her back, a large pair of glasses resting on her muzzle. Nikita, meanwhile, was an orange cat, with fiery red hair that hung in curls down to her shoulders. For the hot weather they had each dressed in t-shirts and skirts, though Leilani's skirt was a bit longer than the others, reaching down past her knees instead of ending just above them.

Together they continued through the park, chatting and laughing, stopping only to discard their empty slushy cups at a trash can near the far entrance of the park. Even though it was a long walk to the mall and back to Bethany's house where they had all met up first, it was such a nice day out that none of them minded, especially since they weren't in any particular hurry and walked at a leisurely pace.

"Oh my gosh, I just remembered, you'll never believe what happened at work the other day," Nikita began during a lull in the conversation, starting off another back and forth. On they walked through quiet neighborhoods and past some occasional corner stores and a primary school, where a few kids were out playing in the yard.

As they turned onto a bike path leading between two rows of houses, keeping to the sides on the off-chance someone on a bike actually came by, Bethany rested a hand on her belly for a moment. It had been a long time since they'd left the mall, and it would still be a little while before they got back home. "Does anyone remember if there's a public bathroom around here?" she asked her friends, but only got various negative responses. "Okay, let me know if you see one, I've gotta pee," she said bluntly.

"Me too," Nikita agreed.

Valerie pulled her phone out from the pocket of her skirt and started checking a map, but quickly gave up. "I don't think they're listed on here, let's just keep going. I could do with a quick break too."

"I'm fine," Leilani commented with a little shrug. "But I'll keep an eye out for you."

Continuing along the bike path, they soon turned and went through another residential area. Minutes went by, but there wasn't anything besides houses in the area, so they kept going, turning at the next intersection. Bethany rested a hand on her belly again for a moment; they were still a pretty good distance from her home, but she could probably make it if it came to that. Probably.

Nikita, however, gave a quiet and distressed "Ooh..." as they turned another corner, revealing only more houses. The other three looked back at the cat, who tried to act like she hadn't just had her hand between her legs. "Oh, uh, don't worry about me," she said stoically. "Just, you know, keep an eye out for a bathroom."

"I am, there just aren't any around here," Leilani replied. "Trust me, I'm looking, I need to go too now."

On they went, trying to take their minds off their predicament with conversation, though it was less enthusiastic than before. It was nothing but houses all around them, however, the kind of neighborhood where you simply had to have a car to get anywhere unless you were willing to take a very long walk as the girls had done. It hadn't been so bad, at least until now...

Valerie pulled her phone out again and checked the map, making a pleased sound after a moment. "Oh, wait, there's a swimming pool a few streets away," she announced triumphantly. "It'll have some toilets for sure."

"Are you sure it's not private?" Bethany asked, leaning over to try and look at Valerie's screen.

"No, look! See, it's in the name: Summerset Drive Community Pool," she pointed out.

"Works for me!" Nikita declared.

"How do we get there?" Leilani asked.

"Just straight two blocks, then take a right," Valerie answered.

Bethany raised an arm and pointed dramatically. "Let's go! Move out, girls!" she announced as if giving orders, then giggled, the others following suit.

Knowing relief was close at hand helped lighten the mood and they began talking again as Leilani shared a story about something her brother had gotten into trouble about a few days ago. The pool was separated from the houses around it by open space with big trees with thick branches and lots of leaves, and a footpath running around the three sides that didn't border the sidewalk. There was a fence around it, but it was just made of some thin metal poles with rails near the top and bottom, so they could easily see into the pool itself. Despite the weather, there weren't any other people in it – another perk of school still going, no doubt. One week later and the place would probably have been packed with families.

However, their hopes were dashed as they got close enough to read one of the signs that was hung on the fence at regular intervals, which quite clearly said: 'Subdivision residents only'. A collective groan rose up from the four girls, and Valerie pulled out her phone to hunt around again.

"Maybe we should just tell them we're residents anyway," Nikita suggested, gesturing to the entrance. "Do you think they'll check?"

"I don't think there are any staff here," Leilani observed, leaning to the side a bit to look along the front of the building. "Maybe someone left it unlocked, though?"

The weasel ran ahead to the front doors and tried the handles, but they didn't budge at all, and she returned to the group with an apologetic shrug. "It's locked, unfortunately," she said, even though it had been fairly obvious.

Bethany approached the fence. The bars were too close together for her to squeeze through, unsurprisingly, but they weren't much taller than she was. More signs on the inside of the pool declared 'No lifeguard on duty', which further explained why there wasn't anyone at all, not even in a uniform. Through the fence she could see the whole pool, and sure enough, there were signs for bathrooms right by the building with the entrance, pointing into the changing rooms. So close, and yet so far.

"What'cha thinking about, Beth?" Valerie asked as Bethany stared around the pool.

"I was just seeing if there was a back gate or something we could sneak in through," she said, "but it doesn't look like it."

"What, you were going to sneak in?" Valerie asked with a gasp, then subsided into a giggle. "How naughty."

"Well, yeah," Bethany replied, glancing back over her shoulder with a smirk and a swish of her striped tail. "I just want to use the bathroom and go, it's not like I'm going to break anything."

"Naughty," Valerie teased again, then sighed. "But I don't think we'll be getting in..."

"Wait," Nikita said just as Bethany turned away from the fence. The raccoon looked over and saw Nikita pointing to something. "Maybe we can't get through the fence, but we could get over it."

Bethany looked and saw that Nikita was pointing to some trees growing near the fence. They were pine trees, so their branches wouldn't have been strong enough to support their weight, but the trees were big and dense, which would hide them from view.

"Ooh. Good idea, Nik," Bethany said as she got the idea. "Yeah, I bet we could climb over there."

"It should be easy if we help each other over," Leilani remarked, sounding excited. "Just use your hands to give someone a boost."

"Sounds like a plan," Bethany agreed. Together they walked around the edge of the fence along the path. The building had no windows on the side facing the pool, instead using the space for a sign with the pool's rules, and the only doors led into the changing rooms.

They left their shopping bags piled up between the two big pine trees to make things easier on them, then approached the fence. "Okay, let me go first," Nikita insisted. "I've gotta be careful going over, I don't want to leak."

"You'll be fine," Valerie insisted. She and Leilani got into position by the fence, crouching down and holding out their hands.

Nikita grabbed the top horizontal part of the fence and climbed onto their hands; they pushed her up, lifting her, and with an "Oop!" as she stuck her tail out to balance, she swung a leg over the fence and then pulled herself over, landing gracefully on the other side.

"Easy!" she declared.

Bethany was next, since the other two were already in position, and she made it over as well. Then it was her and Nikita's turn, sticking their hands through the gaps in the fence to help Valerie and Leilani over, so that the whole group was on the inner side of the fence.

"Okay, let's go," Bethany urged in a raised whisper, pointing towards the changing rooms. They made their way around the pool towards the building and snuck into the women's changing rooms from the back. Bethany raised a hand to get the others to stop as she peeked around the corner, but there wasn't anyone inside nor any signs of anyone there, so she flashed a thumbs-up and they crept onwards.

Their goal was next to the showers: a door with a silhouette of a figure with pointed ears and a tail in a dress. But when Bethany pulled open the door, a new problem became clear: it was just a single tiny bathroom with one sink and one toilet.

"Oh," Bethany said simply as the other girls peeked over and around her shoulders. "Okay, well, I'll try to be quick, and then-"

"Wait, no, let me go first," Nikita begged, "I really have to pee. I'm practically bursting here."

"I'm the one who found this place, let me go first, I promise to be fast," Valerie cut in.

"I've really gotta go too," Bethany insisted, "And you always take forever, Nik."

As the three of them squabbled, Leilani tried to slip past them and into the bathroom, but Nikita noticed and stuck out an arm to stop her. "Hey!"

"Lei!" Bethany scolded.

"What?" Leilani protested, "You were all arguing and not using the bathroom, so I figured I would."

"You don't even need to go!" Valerie retorted.

"That was earlier! I have to pee now too! Just go in the men's room!"

"That's still not enough for all of us!" Bethany pointed out.

Nikita gave a groan, holding a hand between her legs. "Then go pee in the pool, just let me in, I have to go now!"

Valerie rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm sure we can settle this in a civilized way, maybe rock-paper-scissors?"

"Ugh, that'll take forever!" Nikita groaned.

"I mean... what if we DID pee in the pool?" Leilani suggested, "Then we all go together, no more argument."

"...wait, seriously?" Bethany asked in disbelief.

"No-one's using it, and it's big enough for all of us," Leilani pointed out, "Then we can just hop the fence again and leave." With a smirk, she lowered her muzzle a bit and reached up with one hand, very deliberately pushing her glasses up a little, fixing Bethany with a stare as she did.

There was a brief pause. "Did... you just try to do the anime-glasses thing?" Nikita asked, blinking.

Leilani couldn't stop herself from giggling. "Yeaaaaah," she admitted, "I don't think the lighting's quite right for it, though..."

Bethany snorted in amusement, and Valerie laughed a bit. Even Nikita couldn't help but giggle as well after a moment. "You know what? Sure!" Bethany declared. "I'm down. It sounds fun. What about you, Val?"

"You're being naughty again, Beth," Valerie teased, giggling mischievously and swishing her tail. "But it sounds fun."

Nikita looked unsure. "How about you do that while I use the toilet?"

"Ah, but what if someone comes in the front?" Leilani pointed out. "If we're in the back we'll be able to hear it and get away in time, but you might get caught, especially if they hear the toilet flush."

"I guess..." Nikita conceded, wincing momentarily and squeezing her hand between her legs. "Okay, sure, you've talked me into it."

"This way, then," Bethany insisted, waving for the group to follow her. They returned to the outer area, all the way back to the side they had entered on by the big pine trees. There wasn't a soul to be seen, and the trees around the fence blocked sight from all the nearby houses, providing the ideal opportunity.

"So wait, how do we do this?" Nikita asked as they stood alongside the pool edge. "I've never peed away from a toilet."

"Never?" Leilani asked.

"No, never!" Nikita insisted.

"Not even in the shower?"

"No!"

"It's not too hard," Bethany cut in, "You can just pull down your panties to your knees, squat down and pee. I've done it on camping trips before."

"O-okay," Nikita said, taking a sharp breath as she dealt with another desperate pang from her bladder. "I'm going first, though."

"The whole point was that no-one has to go first," Leilani reminded her. "We can just all go together."

"Yeah. So line up," Bethany instructed, and the others stood right at the edge of the pool. Thankfully, since it hadn't been used that day, the pool edge was dry, though the edge of it had a non-slip surface regardless. Nikita stood next to one of the ladders, with Leilani next to her, then Valerie, then Bethany.

"On three, we'll all go together, okay? One... two... three!"

Almost in unison, the four of them reached under their skirts, with Leilani having to pull hers up higher due to its extra length. Four sets of panties were pushed to the ankles of their respective owners, followed by attempts at squatting; Bethany managed hers easily enough, and Nikita made use of the ladder next to her, holding onto it with one hand as her other held her skirt up. Leilani bunched her skirt up at her waist and then leaned back after squatting down, using both hands for support. Valerie, however, couldn't keep her balance, and tipped back, landing on her rump on the smooth tile next to the non-slip pool edge, but deciding that that was good enough, she lifted her legs up and out of the way regardless.

With a relieved and satisfied groan, Nikita released first, her stream shooting out forcefully from her slit and into the water near the pool's edge, splashing there loudly. The other three were not far behind her, though Bethany's stream didn't quite clear the edge of the pool and splashed on the non-slip surface there before pouring over the edge and into the water itself for a few seconds until she shifted just a little closer.

Together, four golden streams splashed into the pool water, bubbles floating across the surface from where they impacted, and the water clouding yellow as the girls' urine poured freely into it. "See, we only needed the one toilet in the end," Bethany joked over the sound of their pee splashing into the pool. "A big one, sure, but still only one!"

The other three burst into giggles at her joke, making Valerie's stream in particular wobble about and break up into droplets in the air that rained onto the pool's surface. "Uhhhn, I needed this so badly," Nikita groaned out, her tail flicking in the air behind her. Her stream had lost some of its power but was still going steady, her hand gripping the ladder tightly for support.

Little other conversation passed between them as they kept relieving themselves, the water near them thoroughly yellowed by the time their streams began to wane. Leilani's started to weaken first, briefly hitting the pool's edge, and she clenched to strengthen it again until she ran out abruptly. Bethany's struck the edge of the pool again as she lost strength, but she simply let it trickle out, and Valerie was in a similar situation, her weakening stream landing beside the pool instead of in it. Only Nikita managed to get all of it into the pool itself, including the last few squirts as they each clenched to fully empty themselves and get the final drops out.

"Much better," Nikita murmured as she pushed herself back to her feet, then grabbed her panties and tugged them back up. "But we'd better get out of here."

Leilani glanced down into the pool as she got up. While the obvious yellow cloud of the four girls' combined urine was gradually dispersing, it was still plain to see at that particular moment. The others got up and decent as well, and they hurried back to the fence, boosting each other over it again much as they had done on the way in. Grabbing their bags they hurried along down the path and back to the sidewalk to continue on their way back to Bethany's place.

"I think we got away with it," Bethany whispered, then giggled, the others doing the same right after.

"That was actually kinda fun!" Valerie remarked between giggles.

"Now who's the naughty one?" Bethany teased back.

Valerie gave her best innocent look as the other three laughed. "Definitely beats holding it all the way back," Nikita mused.

"No kidding, you were like a burst fire hydrant," Leilani joked.

"It sure felt like I could fill up the whole pool by myself!" Nikita playfully agreed, prompting more laughs from the others as they continued on down the street and away from the pool.
