Fran reached over and grabbed Penelo's warm hand.

"What soft skin..." Fran thought in her mind. "Come, Penelo. Let's relax a little bit in the jacuzzi up ahead."

"Heehee, fine with me. I need to relax my muscles, anyway!" Penelo replied, as they shared a smile and continued down the path through the waterpark.

After a few more minutes of walking and dodging some shady looking Nalbina men, they finally reached the jacuzzi area. Fran led Penelo to a jacuzzi near the back of the place, where nobody was.

"This is my favorite spot I've found so far." Fran said, slowly getting into the hot water. "It's away from all the noisy humes and their rides."

"Yeah, good point." Penelo said as she readjusted her bikini, then got in beside Fran.

"Ahhh. It really feels good after being in so much cold chlorine water to soak up like this." Penelo said while sighing, laying her head against the back of the jacuzzi and closing her eyes.

Fran just looked over at her with a warm smile, her hair ruffling slightly from a rogue breeze. Fran couldn't help but think of the strange, new feelings she had the night before. It was the feelings she got when she was cuddling and kissing Penelo, and she wondered if the girl felt the same way still. It could be her and Penelo's special secret relationship...

Penelo was just looking up at the sky, relaxing, when she felt something on her leg. Her eyes widened and she looked down to see a tanned hand resting on her little round thigh. Fran was resting her hand there while looking at the sky with her head back too. Penelo didn't know what to think, other than that those feelings of adoration and lust and love from last night must've come back a little to Fran. She couldn't lie; she was feeling those urges too, now. She just quietly rested her hand on top of Fran's as they sat there, letting their muscles relax.

Fran thought about how she felt about Penelo. She also thought about her feelings for Vaan. With him, it was more lust and sexual drive, and feelings of wanting to 'conquer' him. With Penelo, it was sensual also, but it also had something different. She was starting to feel like she was in love with her. Penelo looked over and gave her a warm smile. Fran was falling in love with everything about her, and fast. The way she had just blinked a few times; her eyelashes batting up and down. Fran found herself fascinated with the few escaped straw-blonde hair tendrils dancing around Penelo's face. She couldn't help the butterflies that had roused themselves inside her stomach, either.

Without a word, Penelo scooted over to beside Fran, leaned over, and gave her a soft lip-to-lip kiss, then rested her head on Fran's shoulder. Fran's ears twitched as she blushed and smiled, intertwining her fingers with Penelo's. This was definately going to be their special little relationship, and nobody else could know. Balthier would pass out from the bloodrush. Vaan would just want to get in the middle of it and get all jealous eventually. Ashe and Basche would just let out a few 'Oh..'s and blushes and pretend they didn't hear anything. It would be their beautiful secret from now on.

After letting Penelo rest for a little bit, Fran decided to geta little more intimate. She looked around to make sure nobody was nearby. Then, she slowly took her hand out of Penelo's and traced across the top of Penelo's chest area.

"Hey, that tickles." Penelo giggled.

"Oh, does it now, child?" Fran teased, now tracing squiggly lines all over Penelo's legs. They were both giggling, when Fran's hand found it's way back up to her top. She slipped her hand into Penelo's bathing suit and cupped her small but soft breast.

'Mmm...' Penelo quietly moaned, changing the whole mood and atmosphere. Fran played with Penelo's nipple, rubbing and twisting and massaging it. They were both getting very turned on now. It was amazing how quickly they could get horny with eachother. Penelo got up and sat on Fran's lap, straddling her. She wrapped her arms around Fran's neck as Fran discreetly pushed Penelo's bikini top down and started licking her chest.

Fran's warm tongue, along with the hot water of the jacuzzi was igniting this primal urge deep inside her body that cried for pleasure. Suddenly, Penelo wished they were inside a room and not in Nalbina's Waterpark, of all places. But she was so turned on that she didn't really care if anyone saw. Fran continued to lick and suck Penelo's breasts, and Penelo's hands found their way down to Fran's warm chest. They had to keep from moaning loudly, which was a feat in itself. It just wouldn't do to be kicked out of the park for misconduct and indecent exposure.

After a few minutes, Penelo spoke up.

"Fran, I want more..." Penelo said. She wanted to say so much more to the viera bunny girl, but her eyes said it all.

They shared a knowing stare at eachother, then Fran nodded. Penelo sat down beside her and spread her legs. Fran took the cue and slid her hand down into Penelo's black and pink-striped bikini. She rested her hand on top of Penelo's crotch, which made her involuntarily react, and her legs wrapped around Fran's hand.

To Fran, giving Penelo pleasure was almost as good as getting pleasure from her. She slid one of her long fingers into Penelo's warm opening, then a second one. After Penelo got ahold of herself and stopped moaning, she realized she didn't want to leave her lover out of the fun, so she slipped her hand down into Fran's panties too, and started massaging around. It was the best they could ask for at a public jacuzzi. They were both mutually pleasuring eachother for at least five minutes, until Penelo started to have an orgasm. Fran just let out a sheepish grin, happy at her accomplishment.

"Fran, we have to get our own room sometime..." Penelo said, out of breath, hugging her knees to her chest.

"That is the best idea you've ever had, sweetie." Fran replied back, kissing her on the cheek. It was the best idea she'd ever heard. Fran started to wonder if she even wanted or needed Vaan anymore, now that she had this beautiful and delicious nymph all to herself. Only time would tell...

After a few more minutes of rest and relaxation, Fran and Penelo returned back to the Food bar, with content, satisfied grins across their faces. The whole group was already there, it turned out. Vaan was laying on his back on a bench in the shade, with a wet towel over his forehead. It turned out he was allergic to a key ingredient in the Nalbina Dog... The others were sitting down at a table, eating various forms of fast but not healthy food; Nachos, corndogs, pizza. There wasn't much choice in cuisine when it came to the Nalbina Waterpark. If you were on a diet, you're outta luck.

"Ah, there's my jewel of Ivalice," Balthier said to Fran, raising his glass. Fran paid no heed to the compliment, other than a half-smile in his direction. Her mind was still distracted at what she and Penelo just did. Fran and Penelo took a seat at the table, relieved to be off their feet.

"Having fun everyone?" Penelo inquired with a smile.

"Most certainly", "Indeed", "Quite", "Uugggh..."(Vaan)

"The real fun is going to start tonight, actually..." Balthier said, taking a bite of corndog. Fran blushed and looked away, and Penelo let out a squeak. Was it possible Balthier had discovered their plans?

"What do you mean, Balthier?" Ashe asked.

"After...conversing...with the lovely barmaid, I found out there is going to be a concert tonight, here at the waterpark. The stage is going to be set up over the giant wavepool." Balthier informed the group. "It's a celebration in honor of the peace alliance between Dalmasca and Nalbina."

"Well, who's playing?" Basch asked him.

"Don't know yet. It's going to be a suprise, apparently. I vote we stick around and check it out." Balthier replied.

"I would enjoy that. I say let's stay here tonight." Ashe announced. "It's not like we have anything else to be doing right now."

"It's decided, then. I'll go get us some rooms at the Whiteshore Inn down the road." Basch said, getting up from the table.

Fran and Penelo looked at eachother, and smiled. This was going to be a perfect opportunity for them, and they weren't going to let it pass them by...
