She got two bowls. Crystal looked at it. Since coming out of the vat her diet had been mostly soy bean paste and energy bars.

"What is it?"

"The greatest thing humans have every made, chocolate ice cream." The look on her face was priceless. That first taste of the smooth cool texture, rich, decadent, the rich taste of chocolate. She was eating fast.

"Slow down or you'll get brain freeze."

It would be a new experience but one to be avoided. She was having second thoughts. Crystal would miss out on so much being with her on the ship, living on energy bars, and being in stasis. Vela was excited about it going where no humans had been before there would be so many new things to see. A family went by in swimsuits and carrying homemade flotation devices.

"What are they doing?" Crystal asked.

"They are going to the river to go swimming."

"I've never seen a river, or gone swimming."

"Ok." Vela finished her ice cream and they walked down the path. The city was in between two mighty rivers. Where they merged and went over a water fall was a power plant. Along the river were mills using water power to grind grain and make flower. The city made a beach area. The family was up a ways. Crystal took off her shoes and went in, put in her hand feeling the current of the water. She was picking up little shells and looking at them.

"Can you teach me how to swim?"

"Sorry, that would take a long time."

"Can I go in farther?"

"Sure don't get your dress wet."

She came out, unzipped the dress, it fell to the ground and she went into the water naked a child's solution to the problem. Vela thought it was wonderful she had no inhibitions about showing her body didn't grow up learning how you had to cover up, don't show yourself, so many rules and inhibitions about a naked body. She walked out until the water was just below the tits.

"Come in it's wonderful."

Vela thought why not. She took off the flight suit, panties, and went in. She could hear the grownups telling the children not to look at the naked people. It would be terrible to see a human naked body when it should be rejoiced especially one as beautiful as Crystal's. It didn't matter if it was engineered. Vela got in front and pulled her close, kissed her, ran her hands all over her body. She looked and they were leaving. There lust for each other was too much. Vela figured they would make a complaint at city hall the gears of government would get moving and then it wouldn't be long before a sign would be put up saying no nude swimming. Vela turned her around; they sat on the bottom, she sucked on her neck and ear, massaged the tit and played with the pussy. She needed to tell her about the trip but this was too beautiful and natural a moment to interrupt it. She massaged the clit until Crystal had a nice little orgasm.
