“Rudy!”
	“I know, I know.”
	“Hrrrrugh!” The hill was not ‘really close’ as Rudy promised.
	“It’s only like, a 10-minute walk. We’re right here!”
	“‘Only?’” Just 1-minute is a lot when your bladder’s full enough! “I’m turning around if we aren’t there in 30 seconds!”
	“We can make it there in 20!” Rudy started a jog up their current incline.
	“Rudy!” Holly spouted before inevitably picking up the pace. It was surprisingly easy to jog up despite her bladder, her legs really appreciated the excuse to move. What was hard, however, was convincing them to stop when she finally caught up to Rudy.
	“Look, look, we’re here!”
	Holly took twisted steps next to him, feeling her bladder twinge hard with impatience. “We came all the way for, oh…”
	“Pretty, right?” Down the slope before them, which was more akin to a valley, was the narrow river that divided the park. It was frozen with a layer of ice thin enough to see the rushing ripples underneath and make the sun’s reflection seem like an infinite carpet of diamonds through the trees. 
	“It is pretty…” Holly said, the sparkles reflecting in her eyes. 
“I thought you’d like it, reminds me of those princess movies you like.”
“Me too.” Really the whole walk reminded her of those movies. But this was extra special, even in her old home she never saw pretty frozen rivers…at least not that she could remember. She felt like thanking Rudy for bringing her here…but he’s also a jerk with a dumb face…but he’s also been kinda nice today…still with a dumb face. “…Thanks Rudy.” She finally said, her voice soft.
Rudy flashed what Holly dared to believe was a genuine sweet smile and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Oh wow, you really do have to go.” He chuckled, feeling Holly jitter and shift. “Sorry for making you walk all this way.”
Holly blushed, so absorbed in the sight she forgot about her needs. And too embarrassed to enjoy that rare, real Rudy apology. “No, it’s Ok.” She willed herself to stand still, her bladder squeezed back with a ferocity that made her breath shudder. At least they’re going back after this. “Are we gonna sled down there?”
“Nah, not that way, it’s too steep. If we don’t die going down, we’d drown falling through the ice…unless you wanna try it.”
“N-no, no. Which way are we going then?”
“Back down the way we just walked up. Kinda boring, but the view from here is nice.”
“‘Boring’ sounds safe.” The slope certainly looked much easier.
“Exactly, no fun when you know you’re gonna be Ok.”
“Can we sled down already?” Holly asked, fighting the urge to bounce.
“Oh right,” He threw the sled down. “Hop on!”
	Considering the state of her bladder, Holly instead did the more reasonable action of slowly setting herself down. “Augh…” But even that was a challenge with everything so tight. She swore she could feel the pulsing of urine right against her privates.
	“Whew…” Rudy too sighed as settled down behind her. “I think I gotta pee again.”
	“Again?!” That jerk had to be teasing her.
	“Yeah, I finished your bottle too, remember? I bet it’s like a chocolate sauna down in my junk.” Rudy said, patting where he thought his bladder was.
	Mmfh, Holly’s cheeks warmed at the thought of his parts again. “I don’t think that’s how it works…” She mumbled between stiff lips. 
	“Pffffft, what do you know about boys?”
	“I know they’re stupid-”
	Rudy wrapped his arms around her once more, making the bear fall silent. “Alriiiiiiiight lets go so we can peeeeeeeeee, woooooooo!” He cheered as they launched off. Holly braced herself again, but the hill was indeed ‘safe.’ Not many bumps nor trees to avoid, and the drop of gravity through her bladder was less intense, though the extra fullness on this final run still made her lose her breath. Her legs couldn’t stop shaking when they came to a stop. “Meh, like I said, boring.”
	“That’s why we’re alive.” And living was only half her battle right now. “Ow, ow, ow, ooh…” Holly winced as she picked herself off the sled. She staggered a few steps forward on knocked knees, trying to literally walk away from the panging in her crotch.
	“Uh, you sure you don’t wanna try a tree or bush or something? I got tissues to wipe with.”
	“No!” Holly balled her fists and clenched to stand upright. “I’ll make it home! O-or to a store, or…something.” She really didn’t like how concern fit on Rudy’s face. “S-stop looking at me!”
	“Ok. Well, I’m gonna go pee again, gimmie ooooone minute…” He barely turned around before Holly grabbed him by his sides.
	“Noooooo.” She whined, letting her weight slump on his back as her knees pressed together. “It’s not faaaaaaair!”
	“Jeez Holly, if you wanna watch again all you have to do is ask.”
	“Shut u-hu-hu-up.” She faux sobbed. “It’s not fair! You can pee wherever you want so quick and stuff, but I gotta…do more!”
	“You mean like taking your butt out and wiping your—ow!”
	“Shuddup!” She sunk her claws into his sides.
	“Ok, Ok, ow!” He chuckled through the pain, which of course only made Holly stab harder. “Would it make you feel better if I held it too?”
	“…Yeah.” Holly mumbled, her snout pressed into his back.
	“Alright, I will. Can you stop breaking my back now?”
	“Thanks Rudy.” 
“No problem buddy.” Rudy rubbed her head, but instead of gnashing her teeth, Holly looked up at him with a grateful demure smile. “You ready to go?”
“Yeah.” It was really sweet of Rudy to indulge Holly’s dumb, admittedly babyish requests. She can’t ever tell him that though, he’ll never let her live it down. But maybe he’s not as stupid as she thinks…maybe he is kinda n-
“Wait.” Barely a few steps Rudy threw out paw to stop Holly’s progress.
“What?” Her feet shifted in the snow, it’s really hard to stand still right now.
Rudy leaned forward and squinted, scanning the area before them with his sharp lion senses. “You see that bush way over there?” He pointed to an iced over bush quite a way from them. In the distance, it looked like a lopsided spikey ball.
“Yeah?”
“…I’m gonna go pee on it.”
“What?” Holly blinked and Rudy took off running, the sled bouncing away at his side as he dragged it along. “H-hey! You said you would hold it!”
“I did!” Rudy paused midway to shout. “That was at least 20 seconds, you didn’t say how long to hold it”
Never mind, no matter how stupid Holly thinks he is, that jerk’s actually 10 times more stupid than that! “I’m gonna kill you!” She took wide stomps through the snow. Each one bore down on her bladder like a hammer, but dang it, she’s so mad!
Rudy chuckled watching her ravenous, squirmy approach. “You know, it’s gonna be real weird if you try to beat me up with my junk out.” He reached for his fly.
“I’ll rip it off if I have to!” Just as Holly was within punching and biting range, Rudy took off again, buying his precious bits more time. “Hey stop, I can’t run! Hmmph!” She grit her teeth and broke into a jog. Instantly, that banging hammer on her nethers intensified. Her bladder burned numb, and she felt her control slip away horrifyingly quick. Her privates twitched as pressure rushed downwards. Oh gosh, it’s coming! “Aaaah!” She yelped, limping to a stop and throwing her paws to her crotch.
“This pee’s gonna feel sooooo good!” Rudy shouted as he reached the bush.
“Rudy, Rudy!” Holly cried out, doubled over and her paws jammed between her thighs. She couldn’t move, she could barely breathe through the heavy pulses in her crotch. Just one step and she’d power wash her underwear.
“Huh? What happened?” Rudy ran back.
“I-I’m actually gonna pee my pants! A-ah!” She flinched. There was that horrid feeling of droplets seeping out of her. The only place for them to go was her underwear.
“Aw jeez, sorry.” Rudy looked around, an expression of sympathetic pain on his face. “There’s still no one around if you wanna go now.”
“I-I can’t!” She huffed on the verge of tears.
“Yes you can! I swear I won’t look!”
“B-but I don’t know how…hah, o-oh my god!” Her eyes went wide. The sharp pressure was reaching a crescendo.
“Holly?!”
“I-it’s…ah…” She tightened every muscle, and clenched her eyes shut, prepared for that inevitable flood, that burst of warmth between her thighs…but by the grace of the universe it didn’t happen. “Augh…” She let her breath out with a groan, shaking hard as the peak of her pangs passed over.
“Um…you Ok?”
“Yep!” Holly snapped back up straight, blinking away those tears and throwing on her bravest smile. “I-I’m fine, let's keep going, now.”
“Holly I won’t laugh if you peed a little.”
“I didn’t, let’s go now before it happens, and it’s more than just a little!” She tugged Rudy’s arm, trying in vain to budge the bigger cub. She could feel those wet patches on her underwear latching onto her privates, it was unbearable. 
“…You sure you’re gonna make it?”
“Yes!” She snapped, tears brimming again in her angry eyes. Her feet urgently slipped through the snow as she tried to drive him forward.
“Holly, buddy,” Rudy laid a soft paw on her shoulder, and looked at her with a smile that was equally comforting. It immediately made her pull go limp. She hated it, like all his other smiles, but she couldn’t look away. “I really think you should try that bush over there…” 
Holly’s lip quivered, now she couldn’t bear to look. “B-but…”
“Here,” Rudy pulled a packet of tissues out of his pocket. “I’ll keep watch if anyone comes by. And I won’t peek, pinky promise!” He offered the tissues in one gloved paw, and an outstretched pinky in the other. Holly pouted, another stab in her sore bladder forced her knees to bend. Wordlessly and looking to the ground, she accepted the tissues. “No pinky shake?”
“No.” Holly didn’t need those, she’s not a little kid anymore. And with how she watched earlier, she didn’t deserve that assurance. “T-thanks Rudy.” She mumbled, her cheeks tomato red.
“No problem, have fun!” Rudy sent her off with a pat on the back.
Holly couldn’t hold back a smirk at that comment…he’s so stupid. “Mmph.” Ooh, that first step hurt. Her battered bladder was so sensitive to every little movement at this point, ugh, no way she could make it home.
“You can do it Holly!”
“S-stop looking at me!” She skittered with her paws at crotch as fast as her insides would let her, and only allowed her legs to cross when she was safely behind the bush, out of Rudy’s sight. 
Her heart pounded as she took in her surroundings. The park was empty, all she could see in the distance were endless rows of trees and frozen bushes standing in a rolling carpet of snow. Mmf, her knees kept grinding together, she really had to go. There’s no way she’d make it home, or even to a store. This is it, this is her only choice. Ugh, anxious bladder pangs made her knees bend. Well, she better get started…
Holly reached for her belt with a quivering lip. She tried to think back to those early childhood memories, she used to do this for breakfast, literally, this should be easy. But the empty park felt so foreign, there was no cozy house, no cheery relatives, no one to give pointers on how to squat. Augh, and no change of pants for accident. Her shaking fingers left her belt undone and her pants loose. She took a deep breath as she gripped the sides of her pants…just like she used to, just like she used to…and she pulled them down. 
“Hoo!” She yelped. Even through her fur, the cold was biting on her thighs. And through the wet spot of her pink flower printed panties, she was plain freezing on her most intimate parts. Those shocks to her system made her bladder contract, she found herself squirming against those stabs. Ugh, why is this so hard now?!
“Holly?” The bear in question flinched, her paws whipping to cover/hold herself. “You doin’ alright over there?” Rudy’s voice boomed over the silence.
“I-I’m f-fine! Shush!” The reminder that he was here made her task seem 1000 times harder…uuuuugghhh. She let out a groan that bordered on a sob. She just needs to get this over with, for the sake of her panties.
Just barely able to bend over, Holly clenched every muscle and pulled the thin fabric of her underwear down. The final barrier between her privates and frigid air was removed, and she could feel it. The breeze was an icy finger just tickling her labia and bare rump in the worst way. Her cheeks puffed out as she strained, it took all of her power not to let go and gush into her bottom wear. She’s so close, all she’s gotta do is squat down…wait, oh no…how does she do that again?
Her knees already shook so much they threatened to buckle on their own. She gently tried to give in to them, slowly lowering herself while her urethra twitched with impatience. But, no…her knees were going too far forward, she’d end up precariously teetering on her toes.
	She rose back up and tried again, this time trying to point her knees more outwards… “Hoh!” She gasped, popping back up. She could feel something nearly slip out, she didn’t trust herself to hold it long enough in that position. Maybe if she twisted her bent legs to keep her thighs together…no, her pants were too tight around her knees and kept her constricted. She rose back up just enough to pull her pants down further and tried again…“Woah!” Now with her pants around her ankles, she wasn’t constricted enough, and her shaky knees threatened to pivot to a less balanced position. 
Ugh, she can’t hold it, and this cold is really killing her in places she never expected. Maybe if she leaned against the bush… “Aah!” She popped back up with a squeal, feeling herself nearly release. Dang it! She stomped in a combo of desperation and frustration, neither were pleasant to feel. Oh gosh, the pressure on her privates were so intense it was hard to breathe again. She can’t do it, she needs help, she needs it now. “R…Rudy!” She cried out.
“Yeah?”
“Please, come! Quick!”
“Coming!” 
Holly panted out white clouds into the cold air and bounced at her knees. An urgent pulsing from her naked crotch, made those seconds feel like hours, Rudy hurry up!
“You alright—oops!” In his split-second glimpse, Rudy immediately recognized her bare upper thighs—the most intimate sight of her he’s ever had—and looked away. “Sorry.”
“It’s Ok! You can’t see anything!” She sputtered, tugging the front of her coat over her crotch. “Rudy, c-can I hold on to you?”
“Huh?” Rudy cautiously turned back to her. His eyes peered down on the panties nestled within her bunched pants.
“I can’t get down, I gotta hold on to something so I don’t fall!”
“Uh…”
“H-hurry it’s coming!” She shuffled in place and pawed through the air for her unlikely savior.
“U-uh, Ok.” Rudy stepped over to her with an unsure smirk and reddening cheeks, as if trying to decide whether the situation was funny or terrifying.
Holly had never seen him blush before…it gave her an instant visceral reaction. “And no peeking!”
“Ok, Ok!” Rudy held out his arm and found the trees opposite them intensely interesting.
Holly seized his arm like it was the last life-preserver left. Ugh, she could hug him right now…with her support finally secured, she slowly lowered herself into a stable squat, her paws climbing down his arm until they were practically paw-in-paw. She couldn’t exactly remember her old methods, but she made sure to keep her butt low, and lean back ever-so-slightly to ensure her unstoppable stream didn’t splash back too hard. “Augh, o-oh my god…” She whined, her bladder quite literally felt ready to pop. The freezing air dusting her exposed lower lips was quickly eroding her last bits of patience.
“You Ok Holly?” Rudy asked, still invested in those trees.
“Y-yeah…” She could barely speak, the pressure was squeezing the life out of her. She used a paw to pull the crotch of her pants up out of the way, a lesson still retained. She was finally, absolutely, ready, and her trembling crotch agreed. But even then…a lingering hit of guilt held her back. “U-um…R-Rudy?”
“Yeah?”
Holly so rudely watched his private moments earlier and he wasn’t even mad. It would be unfair if she didn’t offer the same. “…You can peek if you want.”
“What?”
“S-shut up!” At that moment, her dam finally broke. A thick, gurgling hiss filled the air as her stream pushed through her straining muscles. “Ah…” A moan, a quiver of her knees, and she let her bladder relax. Her stream intensified into a wide, screaming hot river out of her slit, instantly vaporizing the snow just in front of her into a pale-yellow puddle. She could feel the heavy steam rising from it licking her thighs and sensitive parts, it was such a pleasant contrast to the freezing cold air and the perfect complement to her draining bladder. All that suffocating tightness, those hammering pulses, the unbearable weight of that processed hot chocolate, it all melted away like that tender snow, while that much needed flow felt just incredible racing through her inner walls. 
Her snout tipped back and panted out with pure pleasure. She did it, her pants were still dry, and her underwear…good enough. All those familiar, happy feelings from her potty-training days came flooding back. Oh, her family would be so proud to see she’s still the big, brave girl they cheered on years ago…
“Oh my god…” Rudy started, barely above a whisper. The toothy smile on his face looked more natural now, charmed even, as he crooked his neck for a good view. That blush, however, was steadfast. “I’ve never seen someone pee this hard, like it’s spraying your pee-hole open!”
Holly shivered, her stream splashing and dancing along her puddle. The reminder of her voyeur made her stomach drop, and something deep in her crotch tingle. It all felt so awkward, so weirdly ticklish on top of her growing emptiness…it she kinda liked it. “D-don’t look so hard…” She whined, covering her eyes with her free paw.
“Ooh, your junk’s all twitchy now! Does that mean it feels good?!”
“Mmmm…” She droned, too overwhelmed to form words. She couldn’t believe this was happening in front of a boy, in front of Rudy, and it still felt so good. Mmfh, the thought of it intensified those feelings of relief. Her slowing stream wavered and flickered as her inner parts twitched.
“Hey, hey, Holly, you know what would be really funny right now?”
“H-huh?” Holly barely even registered what he had said and was terrified to look up at him…until she heard the jingle of his belt. “Rudy?”
“I gotta pee too!” He paused to knead his crotch. “Augh, and my junk’s poking like crazy.”
Holly watched, mouth agape as Rudy worked on his pants. With just one free paw it was an intricate process that had Holly drowning in suspense. Tugging his button open, pulling his zipper down, and finally lowering the front of his briefs. His tan length casually bounced out of his underwear, resting atop the thumb holding his waistband down. At that moment, Holly swore her heart stopped. She had an up-close view of his boyhood in all its detail. His glans had a pinkish-red tinge, and his shaft—not at all ‘tiny’—had veins, and most shockingly, i-it was…hard. Holly’s stream finally slowed to a lasting dribble down her slit, but that tingling continued to roar through her. This stupid, annoying boy looked so manly beneath his pants…w-who is this?! “Oh!” Holly yelped as a river of his own shot out of Rudy’s member. 
“Ahhhhh, that feels goooooood…”
“Y-you’re s-so, s-stupid…” Holly flustered, her eyes locked onto his steaming stream. It still flowed so neatly like earlier, obediently following the teasing serpentine path he aimed his penis in. It made her self-conscious of the rogue droplets still drizzling off her parts, he doesn’t deserve all that convenience!
“Ahhh yeeeeeeah, I can feel it in my baaaaalls.”
“T-that’s not how it works!” Holly sputtered, now trying to peek at his scrotum, obstructed behind his pants flaps.
“Oh yeah? How do you know? You don’t got balls down there!” Rudy said, taking another generous look between Holly’s thighs. “Jeez, you’re all drippy.” There was a hint of bubbly, innocent excitement in his giggles. 
“H-hey!” She threw a paw over her crevice.
“You said I could look!” Rudy’s stream started to wear down, he clearly wasn’t Holly’s level of bursting.
“You looked already…” Holly mumbled with the same petty as when she’s losing in a game.
“Ahh, there we go…” He sighed as he pushed out the very last contents of his bladder. “If only you had a dingus, it’d be so easy to pee.” He said, shaking the drops off his stiff length.
“But then I’d be a boy, gross.” With Rudy finally done, Holly pulled herself up his arm to stand up. “Aaah!” She yelped. “Ew, ew, it’s dripping!” She whined at the droplets rolling down her thighs, and quickly bent over to shift their path away from her panties. She didn’t remember this part growing up.
“Haaaaa, bet you wish you were a boy now.” Though Rudy was dealing with some ‘boy issues’ as he zipped himself back up. His erection fit so awkwardly in his underwear, he blatantly fiddled with his crotch to rearrange it while still distracted with its source. “Hehehe, you got a little baby butt.” He acknowledged with glee.
“Don’t look at my butt!” Holly retorted, her eyes flickering to the bulge in his pants. She took a tissue out of her pocket and slid it up her thigh to catch the rogue drips. She flinched when it made contact with her vagina flesh, still excited from the show that just took place. She took extra gentle swipes across her labia, thought touches still made her gasp.
“How does it feel when you wipe?” Rudy asked, a subtle hunger in his tone as he watched.
“I-I dunno, n-normal?” Holly’s paws shivered with shyness. Rudy’s greedy stares surprised her, with all his stupid ‘baby’ talk, she didn’t expect him to want to see her…n-naked. Does that mean he l-likes her? Mmmm, it made her feel so weird between her thighs. “…You perv.” She added, tossing that soiled tissue to the snow. 
“You’re a bigger one.” He snickered. “And you littered!”
“S-shut up, there’s no garbage cans!” Holly noticed his eyebrows flicker and his eyes dart away as she slid her underwear back up. Oh no…the wet spot. “S-shut up!” She preemptively spat, seeing his face contort holding back a smile.
“If it makes you feel any better, I peed my pants all the time as a baby.”
‘As a baby.’ “It doesn’t!”
“Hey, you know what else is kinda weird?”
“What?” She shot defensively, promptly yanking her pants up over her shame.
“Weird how your junk is kinda pink between your legs when you squat, but when you look at it from the front when you stand it up, it’s the same color as your fur. Are all girls like that?” 
Holly looked at him sideways. On one paw, she felt a complicated mix of mortified and excited that he noticed so much of her, and on the other paw… “I thought you said you knew what girls looked like ‘down there.’”
“U-uh, w-well,” Rudy’s eyes flickered to the side as his blush deepened. “All girls look different and all, and uhhhh…I was just testing you!”
A wide smile grew across her face. “Oooooh, you’re such a bad liar!” She jabbed a giddy finger into his cheek on that last word. She couldn’t believe it, she was the first girl he ever saw naked!
“Nooooo, I just got so many girlfriends I forget sometimes, y’know?” Not even Rudy could hold a straight face at that.
“Suuuuuuure.” Holly giggled, pulling him into a patronizing hug for once. Sure, he gets his own money, and acts all big and brave, but really, he’s just a dumb little boy…cute. “You wanna go sledding again, stupid?”
Rudy’s face lit up. “I knew you’d love it!”
‘Love’ was a strong word, but upon seeing the genuine dorky joy on his face, Holly just might grow to love it after all.
