Crystal changes and gives a faulty chord that c...

    by: Unknown
Crystal's new shirt was very large, but she knew the lady had given it to her to cover as much of her as possible. As a t-shirt, the neck hole could almost go slightly off one of her shoulders, and the arm holes were maybe three or four times the width of her arm. She took off her wire and paper tube top, since it looked incredibly strange poking out under the fabric, but had to be careful about how she lifted her own arms considering it would be easy to look in and see she was wearing nothing underneath.

The bottom of the shirt only reach three inches below her crotch, but that was just about how her original skirt was. Perhaps a bit shorter, though much more proper. She could easily look like she was wearing small shorts underneath, although she was not even wearing panties. She thought of using the wire possibly as some sort of belt to make the shirt look more proper, as if she meant it to be this frumpy, but knew if she did that it would get shorter.

She tossed the sheet music out, not wanting to have to carry it around with no pockets and having to hold her phone, and returned to Ella with the extension cord. Ella happily took it and thanked her profusely, moving to the amp. Crystal moved with her to thank her once more before taking off, wanting to get a move on.

As Ella bent down, Crystal spoke. "Really, thanks so much. I hope this all goes well."

"Of course it will." Ella said as pleasantly as possible, always glad to help anyone. She plugged the cord on one end of the amp, and then moved the extra few feet it gave to her other extension cord that went to the power pole. "I hope to see you again!"

Crystal smiled and began to move away, but then heard a loud spark. There was a flash, and something felt hot against her left side.

The extension cord was beyond old, and did not take a surge at all. It created a shower of sparks that welled into a small fire on Crystal's new shirt, as well as the front of Ella's shirt and the right side of her shorts. Both beat at their clothes with their hands in a panic. Neither was burned, though their hands were a bit tingly, and both their clothes now having holes.

Ella's shirt got it the worst, with a burnt hole that grew fast along the light fabric from the bottom hem of her shirt up to the bottom band of her bra. It was strapless and gave small support for her D cups, and the band itself was slightly singed. Her stomach was mostly showing, now, as the bottom half of her shirt was gone in front, though still remained in back. Her shorts had small holes from sparks that showed her thighs underneath, as well as her right pant leg grew incredibly shorter with its singed edge, riding up and destroying the small pockets and her entire thigh, even showing bits of the bottom of her lace panties underneath.

Crystal's holes were smaller, being farther away, but her predicament worse - always worse. There were dots of sparks that landed across the entirety of the left side of the band shirt, showing holes from her thigh, ribs, and even a couple small spots beside her left breast. There was one larger hole from what actually became flame that ran from the top of her hip to her third rib, and stretched around her stomach to show the beginning of her navel. It was still a bit more covered than before, but as she bent slightly to pat herself she saw the hole would lower and shift, showing more and more down further her front than she wanted. She stood back up, straight.

As they recovered, they were both hit with a volley of water. A half gallon jug had been opened up by Aubrey, who rushed over when she saw the fires and spilled it over both of them.

Ella yelled in surprise, and Crystal jumped backward, though both were thoroughly wet before Aubrey managed to pull the water back. Now, Ella's light shirt was quite see through, showing the shape of her darker bra underneath. Her shorts bunched up a bit just a tiny bit across her stomach.

"Oh, no," Aubrey gasped, "I just, you were on FIRE."

"No, it's fine..." Ella said, though her voice wavered. She looked to Crystal. "Are you alright?"

"Um." Crystal looked down on herself, her clothes ragged and wet, though really still covering her. She was not pleased, though, with the fact that the shirt was a bit cream colored, which did give it a bit of a see-through look, though she was not sure if it was because of the shirts tone or her own skin tone that showed. Her nipples were a bit hard, now, giving a slight poke that she covered up with her arm in a feign of cold.

"I am so sorry." Ella said and slowly stood up, covering her front. "We need to get you dry. Aubrey, can you pack up? And please be careful."

"Oh, sure." Aubrey said, a little hesitant. She felt incredibly in the wrong, however, after dumping the water on them, and stared a bit blankly at Ella's bra, only slightly covered by her arm. Did Ella even know, yet?

"What about another shirt? I mean, I am in a bit of a hurry." Crystal said, maybe a bit too desperately.

Ella shook her head with a frown. "We were actually giving them away when you came. While you were changing, they were all given. I can ask someone to give one back-"

"No." Crystal said. This was another band, after all. Band shirts were an important thing to give for the band, and to receive for the fans. "I really do need to go. I have to get to my own band by noon."

"Oh, is it far?"

"By foot, at least."

"I do have a car." Ella offered. "Though you may have to wait until Aubrey at least puts things up. We should at least dry up and, well, figure something out."

Crystal considered this. She was running a bit behind now, so a ride would be very good to have, however she was always a bit self-supportive. Ella was incredibly considerate, at least.
