**The Cover Up** is an episode created by PhysicalMediaHound. The episode involves Mei trying to get a swimsuit to wear for a pool party,but has to do it in secret after her mom tells her no.

## Chapter 1

I'm Melin Lee,or Mei or for short. Since I was 13,I've had the power to turn into a red panda,and have kept that power since last week.

Somehow at school I was walking down the hallway,and found a poster for a pool party.

"Oh my god!" Pirya screamed. "There's gonna be a pool party and we are all invited".

"Ha! You wouldn't last a *single moment* there!" Tyler joked. He was always trying to get our attention,but we only said yes so he could stop bothering us.

Miriam stated"and why so?"

Some popular girl came up to me and said,"You do **not** have a cute swimsuit."

That moment shattered me. I know I was a middle schooler and middle schoolers wear cute swimsuits. But my mom is such a social conservative,forcing me to wear a one piece for swimming. If she knew I was getting a bikini I was in trouble.

Abby looked at me and said,"What's wrong?"

I stated,"I need a new swimsuit."

"Golly!" Abby said,trying not to laugh.

Piyra looked at me and said"Ugh,why? My parents let me wear what I want for swimming".

Whatever that meant ,something needed to be done.

## Chapter 2

School ended with a bang,our history class was such a blast! We watched an awesome history movie about Canada.

Unfortunately,that meant this happened.

"Hey Mei",Mom said. "How was your day?"

"Awesome! There's a pool party for us middle schoolers."

"Uh,what?" She asked. She was confused that there was even a pool party.

"A pool party!" I exclaimed in joy.

"Oh,why didn't you tell me?" Mom said. "Let me get your swimwear out for the.."

I paused her to ask her something serious.

"So um,I'm 13 and a girl at my school said my swimwear isn't cute enough. I was thinking of getting a bikini."

"What?!" Mom shouted. "You know I would **never** allow that in my household! You sticking to the one piece I have and that's final young lady!"

Ugh! I thought to myself. There's no way I'll get that bikini now!

Unless....

But what?

I spent my sleeping thinking what the answer was. For a while I couldn't think of *anything*...

Until now!

Now I found out I can sneak to the party and wear it without my mom knowing.

Hopefully,this plan works.

## Chapter 3

The next morning I woke up and I went to Miriam's house. If anyone knew what to do,it was Meriam.

"Hey!" I greeted to everyone. Everyone greeted me back.

"So,we better go to Sears and find that cute swimsuit for you",Piyra stated.

"But my mom won't allow it! How can I go there without my mom finding out?" I said.

"Well,my parents aren't as conservative as yours,so they let me choose what I wear",Abby said.

It was a drive to get from Miriam's apartment to Sears with all the traffic. Miriam's mom turned on the radio and we listened to a bunch of long advertisements for **15 minutes**. One of them was for something us girls don't experience.

Then the Bee Gees came on. My mom and my dad are both Bee Gees fans,and I kinda like them too. We listened to the first minute of the song and then once that minute was over,we were at Sears.

## Chapter 4

We got into Sears and experienced a whole ton of stuff. Problem was,where was the swimwear?

"God! Where are the swimsuits?" I exclaimed.

Miriam then stated"You have to go upstairs".

"What?" I questioned her.

"Uh,duh! Everyone knows the swimwear at Sears is upstairs" Pirya said. "They keep it up there for a reason."

"Oh,okay" I said. We went up the the escalator and found ourselves on the second floor.

The real question is,where do they put the swimwear?

"My god!" I shouted. "There is a huge amount of bikinis here."

"Oh,you should wear this one" Abby stated. She always had the best fashion advice.

I found the bikini I wanted and tried it on. Thankfully no one was watching.

## Chapter 5

It was afternoon,and 2 hours before the party.

"Mei,the party's going to start in 2 hours," mom said. "You better get your swimsuit ready."

Puh! She knew *that*. But what my mom didn't know I was secretly bringing the swimsuit I wanted.

The next hour we drove to the community pool. "Honey,I hope you have fun",Mom said.

"Aw! Thanks!" I thanked.

The moment she dropped me off was the best night of my life. Or so I she thought.

"Hey",Piyra said. "See you got the bikini."

I didn't know what to say. My mom would obviously discover this and she would punish me for wearing such an outfit.

"Uh,yeah. It's cute,isn't it?"

The girls agreed it was cute,and everyone thought I was wearing something cute.

For the next 5 hours,we partied hard,there was pizza,music,and of course,my friends.

Then my mom came.

## Chapter 6

"Hi." I said. "Aren't you happy?"

"No!" She scolded at me. "How could you bring such a skimpy outfit for a pool party?!"

"Uh,hello! I'm 13!" I replied.

"Oh,Mei,I'm sorry for that",she said. "Next time,I'll let you wear what you want to wear for swimming. Just don't tell dad."

"Thank you!" I said. Was mom finally listening to my needs?

In fact,she was. She herself faced the same situation but never wore one when she was my age. Just like that,I could wear whatever I want. Just abiding by the dress code in places like school.
