“We’re here,” Rachel sang as the group, after a long journey, finally pulled up to the winter cabin.

“Finally,” Patty shouted from the other car. The two cars quickly pulled up in front of the cabin, and the passengers. Rachel quickly released Fara from her car seat, while the others began to quickly grab the first few bags to begin unpacking.

From the outside the cabin looked very much like what you would expect a cabin to look like. It was a brick base but on top of that was a wooden structure made out of light wood. It was nestled on a hill, with the base stretching down to the ground with the slop of the hill.

There were three floors. The ground floor had a wraparound porch. The front porch had two sitting areas made up of a long swing and two rocking chairs around a gas fire pit, each of these was on either side of the front door. The back porch had a single large sitting area with 6 wide wicker chairs around a larger gas fire pit and a medium sized grill overlooking the downward slope of the hill.

The basement had a porch that was only on the back side of the house facing the downward slope of the hill. Most of this porch was taken by a hot tub in the center of the porch, and a small towel rack off to the side.

The second floor had no porch but had two large windows on the front and back side of the house.

Rachel felt the pressure of the eager girls behind her as she unlocked the front door. As soon as she opened it all the girls poured in eager to explore there temporary lodgings.

The ground floor of the cabin was dominated by a large living room area and kitchen. The front half of the floor was the living room. It had a large flat screen tv on the right wall, with a large couch and 3 theatre seats arranged around it with a large coffee table in front of them. The color of all the furniture was light brown with dark brown fabrics to match the wood of the cabin. The back half was the kitchen, separated by a long bar furnished with barstools that opened along the right wall. The kitchen was stocked with modern appliances: oven, microwave, and refrigerator in stylish silver all arranged along the back wall with cabinets above them filled with all the plates, silverware, and glasses you could need. Along the right wall was a large master bedroom with a door close to the front door, a small bathroom with a door about 2/3 down the length of the cabin, and wooden stairs leading to the second floor and basement along the back wall. Along the front wall, on the edge of the living room, was a smaller bedroom, whose door opened out into the living room.

“Sarah and I have the big room since we share a bed,” Rachel explained. “Fara I have you in the bedroom there,” Rachel pointed to the other bedroom on the ground floor. “Everyone else your rooms are on the second floor. All of the girls in Echoes made their way upstairs to claim rooms while Fara looked at her room on the ground floor.

All of the smaller bedroom were identical. They were fairly small, with a third of the space being taken up by an en suite bathroom with a bathtub/shower with everything in the typical white porcelain look. The actual bedroom part of the room was taken up mostly by the queen sized bed. Opposite the bed was a smell dresser with a small tv on top of it, and to the left was a nightstand with a lamp. Again everything wood was in soft browns and fabrics including the sheets were a dark brown. The second floor was basically just a long hallway, with the space divided evenly into four identical rooms the doors of which were evenly spaced on either side of the hallway.

The master bedroom that Rachel and Sarah took was basically a larger version of the smaller bedrooms. It had the same size bathroom, and a king sized bed, with a little more leftover space in the room. It was outfitted with similar furniture to the smaller rooms, only with a nightstand on either side of the bed.

The girls had all claimed their rooms, laying a bag on each of their beds and gradually all made their way to the basement to explore the rest of the house.

The basement was one large room, with a small bathroom on the front right side. The floor space was taken up by a foosball table, an air hockey table, a large couch along the back wall, and a bar along the back side of the right wall. Racks with equipment for the two tables were along the left wall and several bar chairs were along the walls of the room.

“This place is decked out,” Patty said in amazement.

“Heck yeah,” Annabelle agreed. “That brochure didn’t do it justice.”

“All right enough ogling,” Rachel said snapping everyone out of their trance. “We still got unpacking to do let’s get to it.” There were grumbles among the girls as they made their way out to the cars to get the rest of the bags. Since there were six of them it didn’t take long to move the rest of the bags out of the car, and the girls busied themselves getting settled into their rooms, organizing things how they like. Fara was in the middle of doing this when Rachel and Sarah entered her room.

“Hey guys,” Fara was stowing a suitcase away. “Do you know where I packed my panties? I’d like to get out of pull-ups.”

“Well that’s what we were here to talk about actually,” Rachel grimaced. She had hoped the Fara wouldn’t be so eager to go back to underwear but it was something she was confident she could talk around. Fara was becoming remarkably compliant about things.

“You’re not about to ask me to wear pull-ups this whole time are you?” Fara said exasperated.

“Well it wouldn’t hurt anything,” Sarah said with a shrug. “And you’ve gotten used to them already so it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

“Yeah but I don’t need them. I can just go to the bathroom. We aren’t in the car any more there are bathrooms all over the place.” Fara was being a tad argumentative.

“It’s purely just in case sweetie,” Rachel spoke with an air of authority. “You’ve gotten so used to wearing and using them on the road that you may wet yourself without thinking about it.”

“A few hours isn’t gonna erase my potty training Rachel.”

“Regardless, the original purpose of you wearing them still stands. They are so you don’t have to hold it and you can let your bladder heal. Honestly, I don’t understand what your problem is Fara. You’ve gotten used to them, and they help with your problem. I think it’s a little childish that you’re arguing about using the things that will help you.”

“I am not being childish,” Fara huffed.

“You are being childish,” Rachel reprimanded. “I understand the stigma against it, but I had hoped you would see past that.” Fara grunted and pouted in response but Rachel’s gaze never faltered.

“All right Fara look at it this way,” Sarah came in to smooth things over. “We’ll have to go out every now in then. To the store, or to a park or something. You’re not gonna know where the bathrooms are there right?”

“Yeah I guess you’re right,” Fara was reluctant to agree.

“Well then we’re right back to what we were in the car, you’d have to hold it and hurt your bladder more. And won’t it be crazy inconvenient to have to constantly get out of panties and into pull-ups whenever we go somewhere. Why not just stay in em all the time” Fara was still grumpy at what Rachel had said, but could not find an argument against what Sarah said. “Well?” Sarah pushed a little.

“Fine,” Fara gave a long sigh. “But I am not immature,” Fara added with a snap.

“Well whatever the reason I’m glad you’ve come to see things my way,” Rachel said calmly. Her calm demeanor next to Fara’s childish one would make it apparent to anyone watching that while it seemed like a compromise Rachel had won this argument. “So no panties but I did bring you your case full of beautiful dresses.” Rachel grabbed a particularly large wheeled suitcase that was just outside of Fara’s door. She opened it up to reveal the inside full of frivolous Lolita dresses all hanging from a hinge system where one could look through them like they were pages in a book. “I was thinking this number for dinner,” Rachel held up a relatively normal looking dress. It had a black bodice and a long flowing pink skirt adorned with black lace. It did not have as much lacey ornamentation as the other dresses, Rachel figured that Fara would still be tired from the car ride and didn’t want to overwhelm her on their first day there. She would have her opportunity to get Fara dressed in the frilliest of dresses later in the week.

“Oh yeah I almost forgot about that part of this trip,” Fara anxiously looked at the floor.

“I’ll have us some pizza ordered for dinner dear,” Rachel said handing Fara the dress. “Sarah please get her dressed for dinner. Change her pull-up if she needs it.”

“Yes mistress,” Sarah said with a small bow. Rachel left quickly dialing the pizza place on her phone.

“You sat there arguing in a wet pull-up?” Sarah began to pull the used pull-up down.

“Shut up,” Fara huffed as Sarah get to work changing Fara into her new pull-up and her dress.
