Well, here's a fun one...

Now, before you get all excited - it's not MY nakedness of which I speak, and it's not even complete nakedness, so if that is why you're here you might as well leave now.  I don't normally work on weekends, but last night I covered for a guy who was going on vacation.  It was the Sunday night before Labor Day, so it was a busy evening, but nothing horrible.  I've become rather unaccustomed to closing on a busy night, though, so I was fairly tuckered out by the evening's end.  I got into my neighborhood a little after midnight.. and then I pulled into my driveway.

As usual, I opened the garage door and started to pull in, when something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye.  I glanced over to our front yard, and I saw what appeared to be a teenage girl running from our yard and into our neighbor's yard.  This isn't something as simple as two adjacent lots of grass - no, our two yards are on different levels, separated by a wall and thick bushes.  So, obviously, this girl saw my car pulling in and was running in a panic to avoid being seen.  But what was she doing?  And, what was she wearing - or, to be more accurate, NOT wearing?

I couldn't tell - but it looked like this fleeing girl was in just her underwear - though it could have been a swimsuit as well, I suppose.  Remember... this all happened in the 2-3 seconds it takes me to pull into the garage, so it was very quick.  It didn't seem like anything dangerous or seedy - just odd, so I turned off my car, closed the garage door, and went inside.  I was really tired, too, so who knows what I might have seen or not seen.  I came into my room and turned on my computer.  As it started up, I figured I'd go to the bonus room and look outside to see if I saw any more interesting activity.  It was pretty coincidental, because as I got there, I heard voices talking - that kind of hushed, giggling talking one does when they're younger and are trying to be quiet but failing.  Then I saw two young girls, could be high school could be older, walking on the sidewalk in front of my house - each one with a pile of their own clothes in hand.  The strange thing is that they were just casually walking along.. from the opposite direction that the nearly naked girl had run.  They kept glancing at my house as they walked by, but I don't think they could see me inside.  They walked right past and in front of my neighbor's house, I heard one say, "It was this one," and then they walked up towards it and out of my view.  And that was the end of it - but what the heck was going on??

I have a few ideas, but nothing can be known for certain.  There were at least two girls, possibly three.  It could have been that these two girls were in my yard and ran, or it could have been that they were walking down my street, and the girl who ran was with them.  Judging by the pile of clothes they were holding, it could have been a situation of daring someone to do something.  The casual way in which the two girls walked in front of my house leads me to believe that it wasn't underwear, but bathing suits - otherwise these girls are serious trouble.  I only saw one person fleeing my yard, but there could have been another that ran at the first sight of my car.  But what were they doing in my yard?  We have a bench, so perhaps there was a dare to sit on it.  My dad was in the living room at the back of the house watching TV as if nothing had happened - so they weren't ringing doorbells or anything.  Heck, it could really be anything.. they could've even been making out for all I know, but I'm assuming that since today is a school holiday, it was just some high school girls running amok and being silly.

Either that, or they were stalking me because I'm such a stud... but that's a little ridiculous.  Of course, when you've got half-naked girls running from your front yard after midnight - anything's possible.
