The tranquil ambiance of a secluded beach resort was suddenly disrupted by a dazzling, radiant light that materialized out of thin air. It shimmered brightly, forming a portal that seemed to defy reality itself. This magical gateway connected worlds, bridging the gap between distant realms.

From this mystical portal emerged Kairi and Aqua. They stepped onto the cobblestone pathway of the Hadaka Beach Resort, carrying only small bags of their belongings and the clothes on their backs.

"Here we are!" cheered Aqua.

A cool breeze greeted Kairi and Aqua, as did the sun hanging high in the clear blue sky, its rays casting a golden glow over the tranquil waves that lapped gently against the shore. A sense of serene isolation enveloped them; the resort, surrounded by tall mountains covered in lush tropical foliage, felt like a hidden paradise.

Kairi's initial nervousness began to ebb away as she took in the peaceful scenery, the sound of the ocean a soothing balm to her frayed nerves.

"Wow!" she gasped. "Is this really it?"

"It sure is!" Aqua said, confidently. "Welcome, Kairi, to the Hadaka Beach Resort!"

Kairi continued to gaze upon the beach, amazed by its picturesque beauty and atmosphere. Even the Destiny Islands couldn't compare.

Seeing the white sandy beaches made Kairi feel vindicated about her choice to come here with Aqua after spending most of last night debating on it.

LAST NIGHT

In her bedroom, Kairi lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. It was late at night and just about everyone was turning in for the night.

Dressed in her sleepwear, Kairi was having trouble falling asleep. The past few nights, she had been troubled by Master Xehanort appearing in her dreams.

But tonight, she had a different reason for failing to fall asleep.

She couldn't help but think about what Aqua had proposed to her earlier in the day, a rather unorthodox way to help her settle her anxieties.

"A nudist beach?" she whispered to herself. "I didn't take Aqua to be a nudist. Then again, she definitely has the body for it."

Kairi patted her own chest, jealous that hers were nowhere near as big as Aqua's.

She shook her head, trying not to think of Aqua's chest of all things. Though, it was challenging for Kairi not to think about that.

She sighed as she contemplated whether or not she had the courage to be nude outdoors and in public in front of other women.

"This is a…special kind of beach that I go to whenever I'm feeling down on myself."

"It's helped me find peace and clarity before, and I think it could do the same for you."

Aqua's words from earlier continued echoing in Kairi's head.

"Is going to a nudist beach really going to help me?" she asked herself. "It can't be that easy."

Kairi reached over and grabbed Sora's charm from her nightstand. She held it up, allowing the moonlight outside to illuminate it for her. She couldn't help but smile as her mind thought back to the carefree days when she and Sora were little and they would go swimming in the ocean, splashing each other and trying to catch fish.

"I wish things could be like they were back then," Kairi thought, the weight of her responsibilities pressing down on her. "Just me, Sora, and Riku…"

She sighed as she continued to long for those days of just goofing off on the island.

Kairi sighed deeply, then she suddenly felt a burst of determination. "I can't let my fears hold me back," she said, pounding her fists, "I need to do this. For Sora, for myself."

With her mind made up, she got out of bed, her decision clear, and left her room with purpose.

Kairi was quick to walk over to Aqua's bedroom and knock on her door. It took some time before Aqua answered. "Yes? What is it?" Aqua asked, yawning and rubbing her right eye.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Kairi said, frantically. "I didn't mean to wake you!"

"…Kairi? Is everything alright?" Aqua said, waking up a bit. "Did you have another nightmare?"

"No! It's not that!" Kairi replied. "It's just…I was thinking about what you said earlier. And…I think I wanna do it!"

"What do you mean?"

Aqua suddenly perked up as she remembered what she told Kairi earlier in the day. "Oh! You mean…?"

"That's right," confirmed Kairi. "Master Aqua, I wanna go with you to…that beach you were talking about."

Aqua's face lit up. "Really?! You'll go with me?!" she asked, excitedly.

Kairi nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "It still sounds a little weird," she admitted, "but if you think it'll help me clear my head and find peace, then I'll put my trust in you and go."

Aqua beamed, her excitement barely contained. "That's wonderful, Kairi! You won't regret this, I promise."

Kairi felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Thank you, Aqua. I do hope this helps."

With a final goodbye, Kairi went back to her room. Before returning to bed, Aqua pumped her fists excitedly, happy that she had someone else to share in her nudist escapades!

Which brings us to today!

TODAY

Kairi and Aqua walked past the large wooden "welcome" sign and headed towards a large building, which served as the main entrance to the resort. As they approached the door, Kairi could hear laughing and loud music.

The wooden exterior of the main entrance made it resemble a giant beach hut similar to the one on the beaches of Destiny Islands.

The two Keyblade wielders stood at the door of the main building. Before they walked in, Aqua turned to Kairi.

"Are you sure you're ready?" she asked, concerned. "It's not too late to turn back if you're having second thoughts."

Kairi shook her head. "I'm gonna do this," she said, determined. "I made it this far! I need to see it through!"

Aqua smiled, impressed by her gumption, but she also worried about how she would react once they were inside.

"Okay then," smiled Aqua. "But just so you know, if you feel overwhelmed, we can both go home right away, no questions asked."

With one final deep breath, Aqua pushed the doors open and the two walked right into the lobby.

Inside, the lobby was rather plain, with only a few paintings and pictures that gave it an air of calm and tranquility. The walls were painted a soothing shade of blue and a few potted plants added a touch of greenery. A wooden reception desk stood at the far end of the room, and behind it was a young woman with short, dark hair and a warm smile.

"Okay, so far, so good," Kairi thought, though she was a little suspicious about there being no people.

They walked up to the check-in counter and Aqua rang the small bell. "Hello? Hiromi?" Aqua called out.

"Just a moment!" shouted a voice. "I'll be right there!"

Just then, a nearby office door opened up and a tall, teenage girl walked out to greet them. She had long, flowing brown hair adorned with a small pink flower. Kairi's eyes popped as she appeared before them wearing a thin purple sarong wrapped around her hips…

…

…and that was all she had on!

They were both surprised to see this girl wearing no clothes at all! She was stark naked from head to feet! Everything was out and exposed to anyone passing by. She wasn't even wearing any shoes!

The teenage girl walked behind the counter, seemingly oblivious to their reaction. "Sorry about that," she said, kindly, "I was just taking care of some stuff for Mom. Anyway, welcome to the Hadaka Beach Resort! My name is Aimi! How can I help you?"

Aqua gulped. "Uh…h-hi, Aimi!" she said, trying to mask her nervousness. "I'm…Aqua! Remember me?"

Aimi gasped as she suddenly remembered Aqua. "Aqua! It's good to see you again!" she said, happily. "It's been a loooong time since you've last been here!"

"Yeah, I know," Aqua said, "last time I saw you, you were still a child."

"So where have you been this whole time?" asked Aimi.

Aqua gulped, unsure of how to phrase her answer. "Uh, y'know, I've been…busy. Some…things happened," she stammered. "In any case, I am long overdue for this!"

Aimi then noticed Kairi standing beside Aqua, red in the face and trying not to stare at her nude body. "Oh? And you brought a friend with you!"

"Oh, right! This is Kairi!" Aqua said, introducing her. "We're both having a girl's day."

"Well, this is the place to do it!" laughed Aimi.

"S-sure," stammered Kairi. "Anyway, nice to meet you, Aimi!"

"It's nice to meet you, Kairi! Have you ever been to a nudist resort before?"

"No, never," replied Kairi.

"I should have figured, considering you're not looking right at me," joked Aimi.

Indeed, Kairi, surprised by Aimi's sudden naked appearance, had her eyes fixated on one of the potted plants behind her in the corner.

"Sorry, I'm trying not to be rude," explained Kairi.

"Don't worry! You can look all you want!" teased Aimi. "I mean, it's only us girls here! We all got the same parts!"

"So you say," pouted Kairi. She couldn't help but notice that Aimi was a tall, statuesque young woman with a large bosom almost on par with Aqua.

Aqua could sense Kairi's moodiness. "This might be tougher than I thought," she thought.

"Anyway, shall I escort you to your rooms?" offered Aimi.

Kairi and Aqua collected their belongings and followed behind Aimi as she led them through the resort.

They walked through the main hub of the resort, which featured the pool, the cafe, and the sauna. Everywhere Aqua and Kairi looked, they saw hordes of women of different ages socializing and relaxing, all of them clad in their birthday suits.

Try as she might, Kairi couldn't hide her slight amusement at seeing so many naked women in one place. Her face bright red and eyes darting everywhere, she couldn't escape the sight of a woman casually having their breasts or privates out in the open for anyone to see.

Even following behind Aimi, Kairi was struggling to not stare at her bottom, which bounced freely as she walked.

"I didn't think there were going to be so many naked people everywhere," she said out loud.

"Oh yes, nudism is secretly quite popular with people, women especially," explained Aimi. "They've just never had a place to do it, at least not without feeling uncomfortable. But thanks to my mom opening up this resort, everyone here can relax and enjoy themselves without anyone ogling them or shaming them."

"I…guess that's nice," Kairi said, trying to be polite.

Aqua couldn't tell if Kairi was overwhelmed and desperate to back out or if she truly was enjoying herself.

"So, there's really no boys here?" Kairi asked, suspiciously.

"Don't worry, we got this place under strict lockdown," reassured Aimi. "No boys allowed, not even husbands or boyfriends!"

They passed by the pools, where an elderly woman relaxing and reading a book looked up and waved at them. Kairi politely waved back.

She wasn't the only one. A pair of young girls playing tennis also smiled and waved at Kairi. As more and more people greeted them and smiled at them as they walked by, Kairi began feeling less anxious and self-conscious.

At last, Kairi and Aqua arrived at their bungalow overlooking the beach. "Here we are!" Aimi said, opening the door for them.

Their room was modest in size, with two beds adorned with soft, white linens and a simple yet functional bathroom.

Much like the rest of the resort, the decor was fairly plain and subdued. The walls were painted a soft beige with only a single landscape painting of a beach hanging above each bed.

A large screen door led to the outdoor balcony, where they were greeted with a generous view of the white sandy beach below, complete with the sound of the ocean waves echoing in the air.

"I hope you girls like it!" said Aimi. "We try to keep the rooms simple! And clean, of course!"

"This'll do nicely," replied Aqua. "Thank you, Aimi!"

Aimi then went back to the front desk, leaving Aqua and Kairi alone in their room.

Kairi let out a sigh of relief and nearly collapsed. "Wow, that was a lot to take in," she panted.

"I'm sorry, Kairi," said Aqua, "I completely forgot that the nudity starts right as you walk in. If you're ready to leave…"

"No! I just…need a little time, that's all."

Things were quiet between the two as Kairi took slow deep breaths to recompose herself. Aqua gave Kairi her space, but she watched with a mixture of concern and patience.

After a few moments, Kairi got back on her feet. "Feeling better?" Aqua asked.

"I think so," replied Kairi.

"So…what do you think of the place so far?"

Kairi looked out towards the horizon, the sounds of the beach once again calming her down and bringing her at peace. "It's beautiful," she remarked.

Aqua joined her in looking out towards the ocean. "Yeah, it's a pretty nice beach, isn't it? But what about, y'know, being naked with others?"

Kairi thought back to seeing the smiling faces of all the nudist girls as they walked through the resort.

"Can I tell you something?" Kairi asked, tapping her fingers together. "I was kinda worried that I wouldn't fit in. I thought this place would just be nothing but beautiful women with, like, big chests and big butts. And seeing Aimi naked didn't help either."

Aqua listened intently as Kairi opened up about her worries. She nodded encouragingly, understanding the real reason behind Kairi's anxiety.

"But, on the way here, I saw girls with flat chests, or big stomachs, or wrinkled skins. And yet, no one seemed bothered or embarrassed about being seen naked. They were all really happy and comfortable."

Aqua let out a soft laugh. "That's what this place is all about," she said, reiterating something Aimi told her before, "it's not just about being naked, but it's about feeling free in our own skin."

"...yeah," Kairi sighed.

Aqua turned to Kairi. "You know, I felt the same way you did when I first came here," she said, softly. "I didn't think I would fit in here either."

"Oh, come on," Kairi replied in disbelief, "you nervous about being nude, especially with a chest as big as yours?"

Aqua chuckled, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Believe it or not, I was. Even with..." She gestured to her chest, a hint of self-consciousness flickering in her eyes. "But it's not about how beautiful you are or how big your chest is. I struggled with my own insecurities, just like you."

Kairi regarded Aqua with newfound understanding, realizing that even someone as poised as her mentor had her vulnerabilities. "I had no idea," she admitted, her tone softened with empathy.

Aqua offered Kairi a reassuring smile. "That's why I wanted to bring you here," she said, "We all have our moments of doubt, whether it's being naked around other girls or facing a horde of Heartless. But if you can overcome those insecurities and embrace yourself fully, then I think you can do anything!"

Kairi nodded. She was beginning to feel more confident about the idea of being nude around the other girls. "Thanks, Aqua. I needed to hear that."

"Anytime, Kairi," Aqua replied, her gaze filled with warmth. "Now, are you ready to…join in with the others?"

Kairi took a deep breath. "Yeah, I think I am," she said with newfound determination. "You're gonna do it with me, right?"

"Of course!" said Aqua. "In fact, I've been dying to do this for a long time now."

Kairi couldn't help but laugh. Considering everything Aqua went through, Kairi felt this trip would be as fulfilling for her as it will be for Kairi.

As the sense of camaraderie strengthened between the two, Kairi began feeling more optimistic about her choice to go to a nudist beach with Aqua. The fear of being naked around others no longer worried her as much.

After all, if she could take on hordes of Heartless head-on, then being nude should be a breeze.

Right?
