I was already running late, but as always, Mieko knew that would happen. We met after work in front of the big Gap in Harajuku. She was on her mobile, so she didn't notice me sneak up behind her.

"Boo!"

"Ah!" she jumped, nearly dropping her ornately decorated phone. Her boyfriend's picture was on the back along with some Sanrio Hello Kitty type things. "What'd you do that for, huh?"

"Something had to get your attention," I replied, chuckling at the false made face she made. We both fell apart with laughter. "So hey, where are we off to today?"

Mieko pulled out a magazine with all kinds of girl gossip on the front and showed me a marked page.

"Tada!" There was an ad looking for good-looking girls, both Japanese and foreign, for a new commercial. It sounded legit, but I was always the skeptical one.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked, idly playing with the swinging ball on my phone.

"Yeah, yeah! It'll be fun. Come on!" She practically dragged me down the street and onto Omotesando. We disappeared down another narrow street in Aoyama, looking at the signs on the wooden posts.

"Do you know where exactly this is?"

"I think so," she said softly, referring back to the ad. "It should be nearby."

We spent another forty minutes looking around, taking shortcuts through unknown neighborhoods, until we came across a building looking like the one in the picture.

"This must be it then. What floor?" I asked, peeking over her shoulder into the magazine. "Sixth floor."

There was no company listing in the lobby, so we took the elevator up. The lighting on the sixth floor was bright and a couple of scantily clad ladies came out to greet us.

"Hi there! Are you girls here for the shoot?"

We looked at each other in bewilderment, silently deciding to play along.

"Um… yeah. We're kinda new at this, so… um… what exactly do we do?" asked Mieko. She grabbed my hand for some much needed courage.

"Oh that's easy," said the woman dressed as a bunny. "We give you some lines to do. Then you change into an outfit and we shoot. It may work out; it may not. But at least you have a chance."

Mieko and I looked at each other again, squeezing each other's hands.

"Okay," I said for us both. The two ladies clapped their hands with approval.

"Great! Come this way," the other woman, dressed as a foxy vixen (literally a fox) said, guiding us down a corridor. They put us in the same room together, both to change into the outfits on the dressing table. When the door closed we jumped up and down in each other's arms with joy.

"This is so unreal!" she exclaimed, starting to toss off her shirt. "I wonder what kind of…"

Her head turned and saw the vinyl outfits laid out for us. It looked sexy, almost too sexy. I began to help Mieko out of her clothes and into the outfit. At the same time, I couldn't help but notice how elegant her body was. She was very slim, slight hips giving homage to her femininity, while her skin was milky white and the tips of her breasts enlarged with excitement, brown nubs that made me unintentionally wet. I turned my head aside to cool the blush that heated my face. Thankfully I was tanned enough for her not to see.

"Mika?" she whispered, touching my shoulder lightly. "What is it?"

We'd always been honest with each other so now wasn't the time to start lying. "You, Mieko. You're so beautiful."

"Eh?" she exclaimed, covering her mouth as she blushed. "No way! I'm just… me."

"C'mon, Mie-chan! Look at you," I said emphatically, pulling her in front of the mirror. I stood behind her watching. "You have such beautiful breasts and your figure-"

"Wait one minute. My breasts aren't even that big, surely not like yours," she replied, interrupting me.

"Maybe not as big as mine, but I could never have that elegant slimness. It's not in my genetic makeup," I responded, placing a hand on her nude shoulder. "Mieko…"

I was so turned on by her that when my fingertip brushed against her nipple, it was in a half-crazed mode. She moaned softly, pressing her hand against mine, urging me to cradle her breast.

"Mie-chan, we shouldn't…" I tried to resist, but she turned around and began disrobing me silently. My shirt fell, then my skirt, her deft fingers taking delicate care with me. My underwear also fell to the carpeted floor, leaving me naked before her.

"Mika-chan, what are you talking about," she muttered rhetorically. "You are so exotic."

Before I could naysay her, she tipped her rich mouth up to me and pressed a kiss to my lips. I ran my tongue across her softness, releasing a sigh from Mieko. Both of us, having never done anything like this before, we were both uncertain of what to do. Taking the reins a moment, I let my curiosity roam wildly, lowering my mouth to her nipple and encircling it with my tongue. Mieko's hand grabbed my head, urging me to suck at the tautness, so I complied. Her scream of pleasure damn near made me come right there.

Somewhere along the way, we forgot where we were and became totally focused on each other. Our bodies lowered to the clothing-littered carpet, my physically larger body beneath hers. When her fingers caressed my breast, my eyes narrowed, tears in my eyes as I looked at her. This was my closest friend and here we were. It was a little unusual, but it felt so right. I brought her head down for a kiss, her entire body and sensual warmth pressed against mine. Our breath and the beginning sheen of sweat mingled, heady sensations racing through us both.

Neither of us noticed voices chatting outside of our door until someone knocked on our door in short taps.

"Ladies, we're waiting for you on the set." I recognized it as the voice of the bunny woman. Mieko and I giggled at the situation, but somehow I managed to keep my voice sane when I replied.

"We'll be right out!"

We rushed to get ourselves dressed for the shoot, but couldn't forget the sensual moments we shared only minutes before. Before we raced out of the room, we gave each other a knowing look, then shared a miraculously sweet kiss.

"Shall we?" Mieko asked. I nodded, the two of us leaving the room hand in hand to face the camera.
