After running from the carnivorous creatures into a cave where Sammy and Twig intend to hold them off as a long as possible, more giant creatures show up...but this time, they're defending the women rather than trying to make meals of them. The animals have been trained, and humanity in this world has much more different society structure, as well as an additional gender.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun started off excellently. Not only did the alternate world have me itching to see Twig and Sammy find out more about it, but the arrival of the other main characters had me perking up with even more interest. By the time Twig and Sammy found out about the social structure, particularly in family units, I was partly shocked and partly intrigued. The intrigue came from the fact that the way the society was structured felt natural, rather than created solely for sexual titillation. In fact, the relationship between Twig, Sammy, and the eight individuals that made up the people they met first seemed as natural as a one-on-one relationship. Even the hermaphrodite and lesbian interaction was shockingly normal and enjoyable in this story. However, because of the interaction between so many individuals, I didn't really feel that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun was romantic in the usual sense. Twig and Sammy's relationship with the family unit was very loose and strongly affection-based, but didn't seem romantically love-based, even after I took into account the fact that in that world, love didn't have to be limited by the number of individuals. But I still loved the society Ms. Karmazin created, and would love to see a few more stories in the world. And did I mention that every bit of the sex was hot?
