Beth smiled to herself as she enjoyed the feeling of the thick gunge against her tights and leotard. "Right," said Heather. "Time for your first walk of shame," she added with a laugh. "Just our nickname for the walk to the showers."

Beth stood up, her leotard completely invisible under a thick coating of slime. She shuffled closer to the edge of the pool before following Heathers lead to scrape the worst of the mess from her body. Heather held out a hand for Beth to take as she climbed carefully out of the pool and onto a mat that had been placed for her to drip onto. Heather quickly wiped down Beth's body, removing the majority of the slime from her costume although a thin coating remained and glistened under the stage lights.

She took her first tentative step away from the pool but immediately let out a squeal at the feeling of slime being squished across her body by the saturated material of her leotard. A second step brought a second louder squeal as the gunge squelched its way past her most sensitive area and dripped down the inside of her nylon clad legs. Heather laughed. "It's a good feeling isn't it?" "It certainly is" replied Beth, her voice quivering slightly as each further step caused another flash of pleasure. Leaving the stage they headed into the dressing rooms. Heather turned the water on at the showers and gestured to Beth to get under.

Beth stepped under the warm water and immediately felt the thick goo coating her hair start to give way. The slime began to clear from her costume leaving flashes of the wet material of the leotard and the black tights showing through the mess. "You know I said we had one more thing in mind for you tonight" said Heather. "You'll be called upon quite regularly to play the unsuspecting member of the audience to become the victim of the clowns. Given your now the youngest member of the team we wanted to see how you cope with playing someone a bit younger. With that in mind we've sorted you out with one of the local school uniforms. We need to test the visuals of it on stage so you'll probably be getting quite messy again but we want to see how you get on with mingling with the crowd before hand. Your cover story is that you're a drama student watching the auditions tonight to get an idea of how they work." Beth continued to rub herself down and grinned, "of course, I can do that, sounds like fun." "Brilliant," replied Heather, "the uniform is in your dressing room. Finish getting cleaned up and be ready in the next half an hour. If you head out the stage door and come in round the front and mingle with the others in the auditorium for a bit and we'll take things from there."

With that, Heather left Beth alone to continue showering. Beth's costume was now completely clear of mess. She glanced down at the soaking wet leotard and tights and admired how good she looked. She ran her hands across her body, enjoying the soft tickle as her fingers rand down her front, across her legs and around to her backside. She slowly brought her hands round the front and slowly and carefully caressed her crotch as hot water flowed over her face. She removed her arms from the sleeves of the leotard and began to remove it, pausing momentarily to enjoy the feeling of the warm water cascading over her exposed breasts. She then slowly took the leotard downwards, enjoying the feeling of the material gliding smoothly over the wet tights. The tights and undergarments followed before she deposited the clothing down the hatch to be cleaned then finished off getting cleaned up herself.

Once clean, Beth returned to her dressing room to find a school uniform had been left as promised. A blue tartan pleated skirt, white long sleeve blouse and a black school jumper with blue trim lay neatly folded on the table. A pair of 30 denier black tights had been placed next to a basic set of black bra and knickers which Beth slipped on. The blouse followed next, with Beth noticing how well it hugged her figure. She carefully put on the tights followed by the skirt which conjured up happy memories of her school days as the soft material brushed across the nylon of the tights. Finally she pulled the jumper over her head and straightened everything out. As she looked in the mirror, to add some light makeup to complete her look, she was amazed how fitting the school uniform seemed to be on her. She really felt she could pull it off.

Beth gave herself one last check in the mirror, slipped on a smart pair of patent leather shoes and then hurried out and down towards the stage door. She shivered as she dashed out into the cold sea air, holding her skirt from being blown up by the stiff sea winds. She was glad to arrive round at the front entrance and get back in the warm. Beth followed a few other girls through the lobby and into the auditorium where they joined around twenty girls and a dozen boys who were busy warming up around the room. Beth was happy to see that Amber was looking calm and collected in a black leotard and tights on the other side of the room.

Beth settled down in one of the seats as some of the theatre staff took to the stage to get things underway. She sat and watched as all the attendees were bought up on stage for the dance stage of the audition where they all had to pick up and repeat short dance routines which got more and more complex. "Your friend is doing well," whispered Heather who had crept in and was now sat in the row behind. "You'll be on after this. Remember to stay in character until told otherwise." Beth nodded in understanding as the auditionees left the stage and grabbed seats in the auditorium. One of the theatre staff took centre stage and introduced himself as the head of casting. "While you guys get you breath back," he said, "please welcome Matt and Jay from the stooge team."

Matt and Jay entered wearing their black training kit, pushing a cart covered in a sheet. Beth took a guess that whatever was under there would end up over her in the very near future. "Good evening everyone", bellowed Matt, "While you're having a bit of a break, we've been asked to take you through some of the slapstick elements of the shows here. I believe we have Beth in the audience today? Beth would you be able to head up on stage to help us?" Beth stood up and pretended to be a bit sheepish about being picked on as she made her way up onto the stage. "Beth is joining us today from St Joseph's school and is here watching the audition process as part of her drama course," announced Jay. "However, we thought we'd give her some first hand experience of what goes on in our shows," added Matt with a chuckle.

Beth barely had any time to react as Matt whipped a custard pie from beneath the sheet and slammed it into her face. The force of the pie pushed her backwards slightly but she managed to regain her balance. Beth could hear an audible gasp from the auditorium as the custard and cream splashed across her previously spotless uniform. "So that's the first principle of what we do," said Jay with a grin, "we'll always try to give audiences a bit of surprise." Beth reached up, wiped the mess from her eyes and looked out into the audience. She could see many of the auditionees with their hands held to their mouths in shock at the pieing of the local schoolgirl.

"The second principle of what we do" continued Jay as he put a hand on Beth's shoulder to hold her in place, "is that we build upon audience surprise where possible to add to the spectacle" At the very point of Jay finishing speaking, Matt slowly pushed two pies into each side of Beth's head in a pie sandwich. Jay grabbed a couple of pies of his own and pushed one slowly into Beth's face and planted the second squarely on the top of Beth's head so that cold custard dribbled down Beth's face and onto her shirt.

"We also make sure that just when the audience get complacent with what we are doing, we mix it up with something bigger, better and more visual." Announced Jay triumphantly. Beth reached up and pulled the pie mixture from her face again just in time to feel the unmistakeable feeling of cold gunge pouring over her head. Matt had snuck up behind her and was now sending a deluge of bright pink gunge flowing down Beth's body from a bucket he was holding above her head. As the last of the gunge left the bucket, Beth looked down at her uniform in shock. Pink gunge was soaking into the white shirt and was showing up in bright contrast of her blue tartan skirt as it dripped from the pleats onto Beth's tights.

"And finally, we at the stooge team make sure that we shock and entertain the audience by tricking them into believing we've crossed a line" as Jay finished announcing this he gestured to Mark to collect another pie. He turned to Beth, giving her a quick wink, out of sight from the audience. He put a hand on her shoulders and turned her around to face away from the auditorium. He pushed gently on her shoulders to bend her over. Beth heard a gasp from some of those watching as Jay lifted up her skirt, presenting her underwear which was visible through the semi opaque tights to the audience. Beth guessed what was coming next and braced herself. As she expected, Mark slammed a pie into her backside, pushing and turning the pie to squish and smoosh the custard and cream into her knickers. Beth bit her lip lightly at the sensation of the cold liquid soaking through the material.

Mark let the skirt drop back and Beth felt the material cling to her now cream covered backside. Jay gestured towards her, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a warm hand for the newest member of our stooge team, Beth!" The auditionees gave a rousing round of applause and cheers. "Now I believe that we have Beth's flatmate Amber here with us today" said Jay. "Amber, could you come up here please."

Amber confidently strode back onto the stage and stood by Jay. "Do you think that Beth has suffered enough this evening" asked Jay with a grin. "Oh of course not" replied Amber with a laugh "she's nowhere near as messy as she could be." "Oh well, its funny you should say that" said Jay as a spotlight shone on the far side of the stage, illuminating the gunge pit that Beth had ended up in earlier on. Jay gestured to the large pool of gunge, "Beth has already been in here this evening, but as Amber has suggested quite correctly, the stooge team should be ready to take any additional mess if it will add to the audiences enjoyment." Mark and Jay took Beth by her hand and led her slowly towards the pool. Beth was perfectly happy to be going back in the gunge given how amazing it had felt before but made sure to give the impression of being rather reluctant for the benefit of those watching. As they reached the edge, Mark and Jay span her round to face away from the pool. "Amber, do you want to do the honours?" enquired Jay.

Amber grinned from ear to ear. Of course she wanted to deal the final blow to her friend. She strode across the stage, looking confident in her leotard and tights, and stopped close to Beth. Slowly she leant forward and planted a kiss on Beth's lips. Beth closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss for a brief moment before feeling Ambers hands on her shoulders. Amber pushed hard, sending Beth falling backwards towards the gunge. Beth felt a little burst of pleasure as she felt her backside disappear into the thick slime. She bit her lip as the rest of her body sunk down into the mess and the gunge flowed up and under the skirt. She let her head submerge and lay under the gunge for a few moments before slowly surfacing completely covered in a thick layer of the goo.

"Give it up once again for Beth" shouted Jay. "She's been a fantasitc sport for you guys tonight and we're sure she'll be a valuable member of this theatre company. However, before we let her out to get clean we have one more stooge team golden rule to cover." Amber screamed as Matt picked her up into a firemans lift with her bottom facing out towards the audience. Jay continued, " and that is that despite the stooge team being here to take the majority of the hits from the various shenanigans on stage. Each and every one of you needs to be prepared to become the target on the odd occasion if it will help the show." Amber's heart was racing as the realisation of what was going to happen set in. She took a deep breath in as she felt Mark throw her throw her towards the mess and let out an audible scream as she plunged into the gunge. Beth watched Amber's sexy leotard clad body sink into the mess in front of her.

Amber emerged next to Beth. "Oh my! It feels amazing" she whispered in Beth's ear. Beth grinned at the thought of her friend learning the truth about mess. They shared a brief moment stoking each others nylon covered legs under the gunge before Amber was required to jump out. Her being covered in gunge wasn't going to excuse her from the singing section of the audition. Beth sat socking in the gunge pool and watched with pride as her rather slimy friend belted out her audition song to secure her spot in the cast before the two of them were allowed to squelch off to the showers. As the two of them showered off, they embraced, happy in the knowledge that they were both going to have so much fun over the next few years.
