"Oh man, how did I get into this situation?" Chie thought miserably as she sat a table at room in the Amagi Inn with Yukiko, Rise and Noato. All of them had their school supplies in front of them as they half-heartedly asked each other questions out of their coursebooks.
"So...why is it just us girls here again? I mean, I don't mind a girls night, but this isn't exactly my idea of a good time." Chie said.
"Well...we were originally going to study with everyone tonight, but then Teddie said he had 'something planned' for the guys tonight so it ended up being just us. And I thought...we had space here so why not make a night of it?" Yukiko responded.
"I don't really want to know what those guys have planned if Teddie is the mastermind behind whatever it is..." Rise added.
"Mmm, indeed." Naoto responded stoically.
"I guess...I just wish we were doing something more fun. Studying is my worst enemy..." Chie groaned.
"Well, exams are coming up, it would be a good idea to get some practice in," Yukiko cautioned. Chie merely sighed in response. Then suddenly Rise's eye lit up.
"Huh..." Rise said.
"What is it, Rise-chan? You look like a light just clicked on in your head," Chie asked.
"Wellll..." Rise began, "I remember seeing a script for my consideration that my agency turned down for being too racy. In it there was a scene where the girl who would have been my character and her boyfriend were studying and every time she got something right he had to take something off, but every time she got something wrong she had to take something off..." Rise finished.
"Oh..." Chie said, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"That sounds like it could be interesting," Yukiko said thoughtfully. "What do you think, Chie? You said you were bored, right? That would spice things up. We could all take turns asking each other questions."
"S-seriously? You wanna do that?"
"I'm...not so sure about this," Naoto offered nervously.
"Yeah, besides I think the odds are kind of stacked against me here!" Chie fired back.
"Well...that's true..." Yukiko mused.
"Jeez, you could try to sugarcoat it a little!" Chie whined.
"Hmm...well...how about this: Naoto-kun can ask you a question and if you get it wrong I can answer instead and if I get it right, then you don't have to take anything off. But if you get it right before I answer then Naoto has to strip."
"W-what? I don't..." Naoto protested.
"But," Yukiko pressed on, "if you get the question wrong and then I get it wrong too, then I take something off you, Chie. And I guess I can ask Rise-chan questions too and the same rules can apply there. If Rise-chan gets it right, then I have to take something off, but if both she and Naoto get it wrong then Naoto takes something off her. We play until two of us are naked and then they have to do what the other two say for the rest of the night."
"I...I um....huh..." Chie stammered, at a loss for words.
"I'm not so sure..." Naoto began again.
"Well, that could be fun. I'd play if that's what everyone wants to do," Rise piped up. "Buuuut, why don't we see if we can invite the guys instead and play the same kind of thing with them? I mean, doesn't that interest you more?"
"W-what!?" Chie blanched. Naoto's eyes widened in fear too. Yukiko merely looked curious. Chie had to admit, there was at least one of the guys she might consider doing this kind of thing with, but she wasn't sure she was ready for that kind of thing yet.
"It's simple, we call the guys here for study night. We spring the strip idea on them and we make it girls vs guys. Teddie would be on-board before we finished pitching it and it probably wouldn't take much to convince Yosuke and Senpai. Kanji would probably take some prodding, but he'd fall to peer pressure in the end. Then maybe we can come up with some kind of scheme that gives us a big advantage over them. Wouldn't it be kind of fun to do that to them? I know I'd like to see it."
Chie thought about this. In a certain way the idea was appealing, especially if Rise's ideal version of events played out. But if their plan somehow backfired and the girls ended being naked, she wasn't sure if she could handle the embarrassment.
"U-um...guys..." A small voice from the corner piped up as Yu's young cousin, Nanako, approached. Apparently she had entered the room without anyone else noticing.
"Oh! I'm sorry Nanko-chan! I almost forgot you were here. You've been so quiet doing your schoolwork it kind of just slipped my mind!" Chie said.
"Well...I heard you guys talking and...I could use some help studying too," she said.
"O-oh...well, I'm not sure what we're talking about here is..." Chie trailed off.
"I thought it sounded fun!" Nanako said brightly.
"O-oh..." Chie floundered, at a loss for words.
"I have a voc-ab-u-lar-y test coming up," Nanako explained. "And I was thinking each of you could give me a word, and if I got its meaning right you would take something off, like in your other idea, but if I got three wrong I'd have to take something off. And if I got all four wrong I'd have to take two things off. If you guys lost everything first, then I'd win and if I lost everything first, then you'd win."
"Huh...." Chie began. "Well, I guess that's an idea, too. I don't know about all this, though. I know I Said I was bored but..."
"Well I don't care very much what we do. All of them sound interesting to me, and I'd like to have some fun too," Yukiko said.
"I'm...I'm still not sure about this...is this really what you guys want to do tonight?" Naoto asked, nervously unconsciously adjusting the front of her shirt.
"Well, I made my preference clear, but I'm fine doing whatever. Why don't you pick, Chie-Senpai?" Rise said.
Chie wondered how this became her decision. She supposed since she was the one who said she was bored in the first place, this had somehow fallen to her. She thought about the three ideas and decided to suggest...
