It was Rob who came down first when Laura called, letting them know that the film would be starting in five minutes.

“Everything okay?” Josh asked, seeing that the boy looked a little nervous and awkward. “The girls haven’t been ganging up on you have you?” he asked, remembering how things could sometimes be when his sister had friends over during his own childhood.

“No, nothing like that…” Rob gave an awkward smile. “Just… Well,” he gave a wry chuckle. “Just know that this was not my idea and I had no part in it!”

“No part in…” Laura started to ask before glancing up at the stairs. “Oh, I see!” The three girls were lined up on the stairs, waving and grinning, Samantha wearing her elf hat and pointy shoes, the other two in their Sidney had and boots, and none of them wearing a stitch otherwise! “Good job we’ve got the heating on!” She shook her head in despairing amusement. “Come on down! Just remember the film you’ve been looking forward to so much is about to start!”

“We know!” Samantha grinned, descending the stairs in a manner that could only be described as prancing. “That’s why we’re dressed like this! You know?” she explained as if it were the most obviously logical thing in the world, “Like when people cosplay to go to the cinema!” Rob stepped aside and the three naked girls lined up behind the sofa, Samantha now in the middle, clearly directing their attention to Josh.

“So?” Amelia asked. “What do you think? Do we make a tasty trio?” Cautious about what impression he might be making to the siblings but equally not wanting to insult Amanda, he looked them all over briefly. Samantha and Amelia’s naked bodies, of course, he was intimately familiar with, yet still, seeing Amelia dressed as Sidney, with all the connotations that carried with it, was very exciting. Amanda, on the other hand, with her pretty face and red curls, was an entirely new experience and one her had not been expecting.

She was the tallest of the three but with a similar level of development chest-wise, her nipples quite large and perky but very pale pink, crowning cute little titties that Josh suddenly felt an urge to rest his head on like tiny pillows. Her body over-all had a pleasing softness to it, as if she would be nice to cuddle. Nobody would have described her as chubby but she provided quite a contrast to Amelia’s more athletic figure and, while perhaps closer in build to Samantha, she was less toned, with her belly bulging out slightly and easily the biggest, roundest rump of the three. What was undeniably plump, however, was her smooth, well-defined vulva with its chubby slit.

“Well?” Samantha prodded. “What do you think?”

“All three of you look good enough to eat!” he chuckled. “Which will be handy if we get snowed-in tomorrow!” The three girls giggled, apparently pleased by this assessment. Glancing over at his wife, Josh noticed that Laura looked a little uncomfortable and immediately understood why. It was not that three young girls were showing off their naked bodies to him, such things had become water off a duck’s back to her in the last few weeks after all, but rather that they had both resolved to be careful about what they exposed the visiting siblings to, especially in light of their secret plans, intending to keep their Christmas experiences as “family friendly” as possible under the circumstances yet within an hour, Amanda had joined the others in stripping off and apparently being quite content to hang out with the family in her birthday suit!

Still, Josh reasoned, hoping his thoughts would communicate themselves to Laura in that unspoken way couples who have known each other for a long enough time tend to have, it would be bordering on unreasonable to expect Samantha to keep her clothes on for her last evening before cooking and, coupling that with what they already knew of Amelia, not to mention the comment Amanda had made upon receiving the hat and boots, could they really have expected this evening to play out any differently?

“Something smells good!” Samantha exclaimed, inhaling deeply like a character in a gravy advert. “Did you put Emily’s thigh in the oven too?”

“Yes I did!” Laura assured her, chuckling, “with honey and pineapple rings! I’ll get it out when the rest of dinner is ready and let it cool so you can take a look at it then.” The girls all seemed excited about this. “Right, nearly time!” Laura clapped her hands together, taking charge once more, “Let’s get comfy!”

It was going to be a bit of a squeeze for all five of them to sit on the sofa together but they were sure that they could manage for only half an hour. Amelia was the first to sit down, against the right arm, and she patted the space beside her as an invitation to Josh, an invitation which he accepted with Samantha opting to sit on his lap like she had when she was little and Amanda sitting on his other side, slipping herself under his arm and resting her head on his chest, clearly already very comfortable in his presence. Josh rested his hand on her side, just above her hip, noticing how warm and velvety her skin felt, then put his other arm around Samantha’s tummy while Amelia slipped her arms through his to cuddle up.

“Come on, you sit with me!” Laura smiled, sitting down next to Amanda and leaving enough space for Rob on the other side, by the left-hand arm of the sofa. He sat down and also snuggled against her, very happy to be back in a loving, family environment, even if only as a guest.

“You are recording this, right?” Samantha suddenly asked in an urgent tone. “For tomorrow?”

“Yes, we are.” Josh assured her as Laura pulled the sofa quilt up over the whole group, flinging the other end towards Amelia so that she could get everyone equally cosy. “Well, this is it! Enjoy, everyone!”

The TV had been on to make sure they did not miss the start of the film, but with the sound muted and Laura clicked the remote just as the announcer was introducing the film over the special festive channel ident.

“...based on the beloved children’s story by Jocelyn McKinnon. Rosie, the Christmas Turkey.” The ident disappeared and the opening credits began, showing a sequence of matching photo frames like two halves of a locket over an animated background and suitably Christmassy tune, complete with the obligatory jingling bells. As each set of frames appeared, the name of the voice actor would be shown beneath them, followed by “As” and then the character name. In the left-hand frame, a picture of the actor would be shown while their animated counterpart appeared on the right.

“Wow! Quite the all-star cast!” Josh exclaimed, pleasantly surprised by some of the big names that seemed to be involved. There was nobody in the cast who was not at least familiar from other TV roles. Nobody, that was, except the young actress cast as Rosie herself.
