The stage lights shifted colors and turned as the guitarist on stage began his wild solo to finish off the song, and the overhead lights shut off but for the spotlight on him. He wailed on the guitar strings for a good half-minute before finishing, sweeping his arm with flourish to play a final note, letting it fade in the air.

The crowd in front of the stage erupted into cheers, including from Allison and Sophia, who both clapped and cheered along with everyone else around them. "Thank you all," the guitarist said into the microphone as he got out from the dramatic pose he had finished in, "You're all beautiful people, enjoy the night!"

The band began to pack up their things, and the P.A. system crackled to life as the lights came back on, illuminating the outdoor concert area. "Alllllllll right, folks," a cheerful voice announced, "We'll be setting up for the next set here, but don't go too far because we've got tons of great music coming up after the break!" When he added, "Let's hear some hype!" a cheer rose up from the crowd all at once in response.

"This is amazing!" Allison told Sophia, raising her voice to be heard over all the noise as most of the crowd got up from their seats, including both of them. Allison, the snow leopard, was wearing a crop top over her D-cup breasts, shorts over her hips and strong thighs, and had a hairband holding back her white hair, all of them an unassuming plain white. Sophia, by contrast, was far more colorful in every aspect: the gray fox's shoulder-length hair started as dark green at the roots but was dyed a much brighter green towards the ends. While the slimly-built fox was dressed similarly with shorts and a small t-shirt that covered her C-cup chest but left her belly exposed, her shorts were blue and the t-shirt was a colorful one for the festival they were at. The words 'Amber Lake Music Festival' were emblazoned across the front over its logo, while the back had the same title over a list of all the years it had been hosted at the time the shirt was made.

"I told you it'd be great!" Sophia said excitedly. She'd been wanting to come to the festival for years, but had never been able to afford tickets – and she still couldn't, but Allison had bought some as a birthday gift, one that had resulted in a lot of tail-wagging, 'squee' sounds, and very tight hugs.

Making their way out from the audience area where all of the chairs had been set up, they headed out with all of the other guests into the area around the concert stage where vendors were ready and waiting for the intermission rush to sell food and drink to the concert-goers. Even with all the people leaving their seats for the intermission, it was a lot less chaotic once they got away from the seating, the big crowds, and the powerful lights. The nighttime air was pleasantly cool, with no clouds overhead to obscure the stars in the sky, calming things down after the rush of the last few performances. Both Allison and Sophia had empty drink cups already and tossed them in the trash as they left with the crowd, heading for the toilets to deal with the consequences of the cheap drinks and waiting for the set to end before seeking relief.

Unfortunately, it seemed like they were far from the only people who had that idea. They saw the line for the porta-potties long before they saw the line of teal structures themselves, as it stretched around a corner and even doubled back on itself at one point. They kept walking until they found the back of the line and queued up, with even more people lining up behind them moments afterwards.

"Uuuugh, this queue is, like, a quarter-mile long," Allison groaned, crossing her legs as she stood and waited.

"It sure feels like it," Sophia agreed. "Like, it's moving, but I can't even see the front of it from here... it's gonna take us forever to get to the front."

"Just don't think about it," Allison said, though Sophia wasn't sure if Allison was trying to reassure her friend... or herself.

"It's really hard not to," the gray fox grumbled. She pulled her phone out from her pocket, thinking of trying to read a book or something to take her mind off of the pressure in her lower abdomen, but the battery was already on the low side and she didn't want it to run out before she got back home.

For a little while they remained in the queue, shuffling forward whenever the people ahead of them moved up. Allison was already wincing and grumbling from the direness of her need, but it could have been worse; she noticed Sophia holding her hands between her legs and bouncing in place, both looking and sounding distressed. Allison looked ahead, still unable to see the front of the line – it seemed unlikely that her friend would be unable to avoid an accident, and then most likely Allison would be right behind her.

Unless...

"Psst, Sophia," Allison whispered, leaning in close to Sophia.

"What?"

"Let's try another place. I know somewhere else we can go."

"All right," Sophia agreed, not having much of a choice. The two of them slipped away from the line and away from it into the much less crowded parts of the music festival.

"How far is it to the other toilets?" Sophia asked desperately, following Allison and keeping one hand between her legs.

"Uhh... not that far," Allison replied. "It's not exactly more toilets, but... it IS a spot we can go."

Sophia's eyes widened. "Wait, what?"

"It's okay! I went there earlier!" Allison admitted. "When I went before the first band started? There were big lines too, so I just... found another spot."

"I don't know..." Sophia murmured. "What if someone sees us?"

"There's bushes and stuff all around. No-one will see."

"All right," Sophia conceded. "Let's go before I change my mind."

The further they got from the stage area, the quieter it became, until they heard two voices just up ahead as they got close to the edge of the festival grounds. "I'm looking at the map, they should be right here!"

"Well, they're obviously not, Julee!" another female voice complained.

Allison wanted to ignore them, but when she turned a corner around a large tent she nearly ran into the two girls they had heard. One was a rabbit with brown fur and long blonde hair, wearing a gray strapless top that was stretched over her D-cup chest. She had a pair of jean shorts on as well, and was in the middle of taking a map from her friend, her other hand between her legs.

The rabbit's friend, the one the rabbit had called Julee, was a border collie mix of some sort, with dyed purple hair over one eye. She had her legs crossed and tightly pressed together under a skirt that barely went halfway down her thighs, and was wearing a t-shirt much like Sophia's, but with the current year printed on the front, likely brand new from the festival's official merchandise.

Before Allison could turn away, the two of them spotted her. "Excuse me," the rabbit asked, "Can you tell us where the bathrooms are?"

"Way over thattaway," Allison answered, pointing behind her with one arm.

"But the line is like a million miles long," Sophia moaned.

Julee let out a whine and flattened her ears, and Allison felt bad for her. She had never met these two before, but they were clearly in a similar predicament, and she didn't want them to have an accident either. "You could come with us," she told the other girls, "We were just headed to go find another spot to pee."

"Sure," the rabbit immediately agreed, practically thrusting the map back into the border collie's arms without looking at it. "I feel like I'm going to burst in a minute or two."

"W-wait, Ruby!" Julee protested. "Are you serious?"

"You don't want to piss yourself, do you?" Ruby pointed out. "I've gone in the woods before when I've gone camping, it's not a big deal. Besides, this is a music festival, I'm sure someone else has already peed out there before us."

"Uh, yeah," Allison agreed, glancing away from them. "Totally. We won't be the first."

Julee looked uncertain at first, but she winced and squeezed her legs more tightly for a moment, lowering her tail and whining. "Okay, fine," she conceded out of desperation. "Screw it. Let's go."

"You okay with that, Sophia?" Allison asked, realizing she should have checked sooner.

"I just want to peeeeeeeeeeeee," Sophia groaned, bouncing in place with both hands between her legs.

"Sounds like a yes," Allison remarked, though she wasn't doing too hot either, squirming as her bladder sent more frequent complaints. "This way."

She began walking off and the others followed after her, as she left the festival grounds entirely. Part of the area around it was cleared of any large plants, leaving just grass and scrub, but beyond that were plenty of trees and bushes. Allison headed for the nearest patch where she had been before, and there were plenty of other footprints indicating she hadn't been the only one in this place since earlier – and a smell that indicated the other visitors had used it for a similar purpose.

"How do we want to-" Allison began, but Sophia pushed past her and stood behind a couple of the larger bushes next to a tree. The gray fox was already fumbling with her shorts, and shoved both them and her panties down to her ankles before tugging them off entirely. Ruby stood near her and faced towards the same open patch of grass as she dropped her denim shorts, going commando underneath. Julee didn't waste any time joining them either, standing near Ruby and opposite Sophia, reaching under her skirt to push her panties down to her knees. Too desperate to not do the same, Allison hurried into place to complete the approximate square they were forming, pushing her shorts down to her knees.

Sophia took advantage of being completely bottomless to drop down into a wide squat, while Ruby squatted down and wrapped her arms around her knees both to hold herself steady and to position her hips as far from her feet as she could. Julee tried to squat down, but lost her balance and put her hands behind her to hold herself up, spreading her feet apart as she stayed in that position. Allison, meanwhile, kept her shorts around her knees as she squatted down beside the other three, her thighs close together but her feet apart in a similar position to Julee but without having to hold herself up with her hands.

The air was soon filled with the sound of splashing liquid; Ruby was the first to release, a hard jet of yellowed gushing from her slit and into the grass under her hips, but Sophia was barely a half-second behind her in letting out both a loud moan and a golden arch of pee, the latter spraying forward slightly to land between her feet. Allison and Julee both opened their floodgates at almost the same time moments later, the snow leopard's yellowed stream gushing straight down into the grass below her while Allison's shot forward a bit, breaking up into droplets at the top of its arch to rain down into the grass between her legs in a shower of almost-clear droplets.

"Ohhhhh..." Allison moaned out in relief, staring up at the sky. She couldn't care less about how exposed she was, even close to two complete strangers who could see her pussy if they so much as glanced downwards; all that mattered to her right then and there was the relief she was feeling at finally getting to empty her aching bladder without making a mess of herself. And from the sound of it, Julee was in the same boat; she was groaning aloud, any of her earlier trepidation about the situation lost completely as she pissed on the grass. Her spray produced a pattering sound as the dirt became saturated compared to the much heavier splashing of the other three girls' streams.

"And I thought I was desperate," Ruby remarked, slightly embarrassed by the others moaning around her, her cheeks flushing a bit. Peeing outside while camping was one thing, but she'd certainly never done it while surrounded by others who were openly savoring their relief.

"I still feel so full," Sophia murmured in response, panting softly, though she was also blushing a little from hearing the others. Her wide squat meant she was baring her loins to all three of them, but it just felt too good to let go – she didn't want to adjust her position and ruin the feeling. She'd already sprayed so much pee onto the grass in front of her that the dirt had become mud, a visible puddle forming as she sprayed it faster than her piss could soak into the ground.

"Is anyone coming?" Julee thought to ask.

Allison lifted her head and looked back the way they came, suddenly worried about the possibility of being caught by the festival's security. While they were fairly obscured behind the bushes, it wouldn't take a genius to figure out why four girls were squatting out of sight at the edge of the woods. Fortunately, the only people she could see were too far away for them to make out what their group was doing, and she didn't see anyone in a security uniform close by.

"Seems clear," Allison told the others.

"Good," Julee commented, "Because I'm still nowhere near done..."

The noise of their streams continued unabated, the only sound near them now that Sophia and Julee were no longer moaning in relief. It took a very long time before even the first of them ran dry, but one by one their flows of urine came to an end. Julee and Allison both trickled off to a stop while the others ended more abruptly, each of them giving a few clenches of their Kegel muscles to force out the last few squirts of pee onto the thoroughly-drenched grass.

"Maybe I should've thought of this earlier, but, did anyone think to bring tissues?" Sophia asked shyly.

"I've got some," Ruby told her. Julee and Allison had their own, and after cleaning themselves up they left the tissues behind with their puddles, the messes they had made gradually soaking into the dirt. Pulling their clothes back into place and standing up, the four of them quickly made themselves presentable before leaving the scene quickly, heading back to where the four of them had met.

"Now that I'm empty, I can go get another drink!" Sophia declared, feeling cheerful again now that their mutual problem had been taken care of.

"Hell yeah," Julee agreed. "Have you tried that one vendor next to the ticket booth? They've got great drinks."

"Oooh. No, I haven't, let's go there," Sophia agreed.

Allison gave a chuckle. It didn't seem right to just split off from the others after all that, and they seemed nice enough, so she turned to Ruby. "I'm Allison, by the way," she said to introduce herself properly. "That's Sophia."

"I'm Ruby, that's Julee," the rabbit replied, giving Allison a smile. "Nice to meet you, even if it was a bit... unusual."

Allison laughed a bit. "I'm sure it's not the weirdest thing that's ever happened here."

"Wish I could tell you, we both live near here but this is the first time we've gone."

"Wow, really?" Sophia called out, "We're from around here too! Where do you live?"

"Riverwood," Ruby replied.

Sophia's excitement only grew. "Oh cool, we're both in the South Side, that's super close by!"

"We've still got a bit of time before the end of the intermission, we should hang out together!"

"Sounds great!" Julee agreed with a wag of her tail.

"Sure!" Ruby said, nodding. "But only until the end of the intermission, the band coming up next is one of my favorites."

"Mine too!" Allison gasped, grinning. Their night just kept getting better – it may have been a chance encounter, bit it seemed like their improvised bathroom trip had sparked a new friendship.
