Mary in Trouble

By Dr. Discipline

Monday June 18, 2779

"Seth, get over here right now"

My heart skipped a beat when I heard mom calling me from outside. She rarely used that tone of voice, and it usually meant I was in trouble. I stood up and dashed into the house, expecting to find her holding her hairbrush or something else to punish me with. Instead she was putting on her shoes.

I stood next to mom. "What's going on?" I asked.

"Don't worry about that now, we have to go."

Mom quickly made sure I was presentable, took me by the hand and led me out the door and into her car. After making sure I was strapped in my seat she drove off towards downtown.

I was very curious as to where we were going. Mom looked seriously pissed and I wasn't about to aggravate her. I had done that once before and the results weren't pretty. So, I just sat in silence and watched the scenery pass by. I noted that mom was speeding through the streets.

I looked up when we stopped and instantly started crying. We had stopped in front of the local police station. "W-What are we doing here?" I asked, my voice quivering.

Mom let me out of the car and picked me up. "Oh Sethie, it's okay. You're not in trouble. We are picking up Mary. Just please be a good boy and don't worry."

I stopped crying, but would still worry. A police station was a scary place for a penny, even if you were just with mommy to pick someone up. And then it hit me. If Mary was here, then she must be in some serious trouble.

We went into the station and mom talked to the desk sergeant for a minute. She set me down on my feet and told me to wait in to lobby while she went to retrieve Mary. I had no choice but to obey. When mom left the sergeant looked at me.

"So, have you been a good little boy?"

"Yes sir" I replied.

"I see you're a penitatas, what did you do?"

"Uhh, I sliced into computers sir."

The sergeant smiled. "I see. Well I'm sure you're learning your lesson now aren't you?"

"Oh yes sir" I said, laying it on thick. "My mommy and daddy have been spanking me lots to help me learn from my mistake.

"That's good, that's good" the sergeant chuckled. He pointed towards a corner where there were some toys and things. "Go keep yourself busy and I'll tell your mom what a good boy you were."

I obeyed and settled into playing. One advantage of being a small kid, I was amused easily. I was totally immersed in my play when I heard mom and Mary approach. Mary's face was red and mom still looked angry. "Come on Seth, time to go home."

I quickly put the toys away (I'd learned to clean up after myself after being soundly spanked at DZ a while back) and took mom's extended hand. The desk sergeant told mom that I was well behaved and offered no trouble whatsoever. Mom thanked him for watching me and patted me on the shoulder. "At least I have one that knows how to behave." she said.

I waved good-bye to the sergeant and followed mom out to the car. We got in and mom drove us home. Mom was lecturing Mary during the trip. "How dare you steal!" she said. "I though you knew better than that! Oh, and we mustn't forget that you've skipped school."

Mary didn't look at mom and just kept her head down. "You know you're in big trouble, don't you?" mom continued. "This isn't just some forgotten homework here Mary. You have to go to court! Do you know what you are in store for?"

My eyes grew wide. Mary had stolen something and she had to go to court. "Oh boy" I thought. "She is gonna fry!"

Mom continued to lecture Mary. "You are grounded until your court date. No comm, no holo, nothing! You're going to go straight to corner when we get home and after I give Seth his lunch you, me and the hairbrush are going to have a LONG conversation."

Mary sobbed loudly at the latest bit of news. I just sat there and watched her. She had her head down and was crying into her hands. I felt sorry for Mary and what she was in for, despite all she had done to me in the past.

We got home and mom let me out of the car. Once in the house, mom ordered Mary to sit on the cornerstool bare bottomed. Mary complied without saying a word and sat there. Mom quickly adjusted the ankle restraints and locked them in place. Mary squirmed around on the stool, anticipating what was to come.

I plunked down on the floor and watched a bit of holo while mom made me my lunch. I took an occasional glance at Mary to see her trying in vain to find a comfortable sitting position. Mom fed me my lunch and ordered me upstairs to my bedroom. I had recently stopped taking naps (I didn't require them) and mom was fine with that. Naptime had become quiet playtime. I could do anything in my bedroom, as long as it was quiet. I also had strict instructions that day to not come downstairs.

Mom allowed me to keep my door open during quiet playtime. I picked up a game PAD and lay on my bed with it. I turned the game on but left it on pause. I heard mom storm down the stairs and shortly after that I heard Mary get the loudest and longest spanking I'd ever heard. Mom was sure laying into her. Curiosity got the best of me and I risked sneaking a few steps down on the stairs.

I saw Mary and mom in the living room. Mary was completely naked and was laying face down over mom's lap. Mom was holding Mary down firmly and was spanking her hard and fast with her hairbrush. Mary's bottom was a deep red and she seemed to be fighting for her life. In my over a year in this household, I'd never seen mom deliver such a severe spanking. After a few minutes I'd seen enough and went back to my room.

Mary was notably absent at dinner that evening. Jessica and I talked to mom and dad about our day. Mom spent a great deal of time talking about Mary and what she did. Apparently she had been excused from school today by somehow forging mom's signature (thumbscan) and submitting it to the school on a PAD saying that she had an appointment. Mary then skipped school with her friends (who also had appointments) and was caught shoplifting at the local department store. They pressed charges and Mary was arrested and released into the custody of her mother pending a court date.

I went to bed that evening feeling a little sorry for Mary. I knew what she was in store for.

***

Court day arrived and we were all woken up early by mom. Mary was dressed in her best clothes, a yellow dress and black shoes. Mom wore a business suit and of course Jessica was in her school uniform. Mom packed Jessica off to school. I was staying at home; Lori would be baby sitting me all day.

I wanted to go to the court with mom, but she said that she would be a while and that I would be very bored. Lori arrived shortly after Jessica left for school. Mom and Mary left about 10 minutes after Lori arrived.

I had a great day with Lori. She took me to the park and I played there all morning. Several children were spanked, but I wasn't. Around noon Lori collected me and took me home for lunch. I was having a lot of fun and didn't want it cut short. I was about to protest, but I thought the better of it. I didn't want to ruin a good day.

A sandwich, milk and two cookies later I played some holo-games with Lori before I took a nap, my first afternoon nap in a month. I was tired enough from playing all morning that I needed a brief rest. Afterwards, I got up on my own and went down to see if Lori would let me play out in the backyard.

When I got downstairs I discovered that mom had returned home. She was talking with Lori at the kitchen table. I pulled out my chair and climbed up onto it. Mom looked at me and told me to go and play. I asked if I could go outside in the back. She said yes.

I climbed back down and went outside. I wanted to know what had happened to Mary. I didn't see her, but she could be in her room or out with a friend. I decided that it wasn't worth worrying about. Mom would tell me if she wanted me to know. I sighed. Yet another form of control.

I took some of my toys outside and had fun playing. Jessica came home from school and we played together after she finished her homework.

Mom called us in the house for dinner. We went inside and washed up for our meal. Mary was at the table when we got there. She was staring at her plate and didn't look at or talk to anyone. When she went to put a piece of food in her mouth I caught a glimpse at her hand and did a double take.

There was a solid letter 'P' there.

"Uh, mom" I asked. "Why does Mary have a penitatas symbol on her hand?"

"Mary has a penitatas symbol on her hand because she is a hard-time penitatas, just like you and Jessica." Mom explained. "That's what happens when you break the law. She's been sentenced to three months as a penitatas for her shoplifting last week."

Mary's face grew red and she lowered her head further. She picked at her food for another few minutes as mom described the court case and Mary's sentence. Suddenly, Mary pushed her chair out, got up with her plate and headed for the kitchen.

"Where do you think you're going?" mom barked.

"I'm not feeling well" Mary muttered. "I am going up to my room."

Mom quickly stood up. "Oh no you're not! You're going to sit right there at the table and eat every bite of your dinner and then you are going to get a spanking, spend some time on the cornerstool and THEN you will go to bed."

Mary stomped her foot. "But I don't want it, I-"

That's all Mary got out because mom was by her side in a flash and had Mary by the ear and was leading her errant daughter over her knee. Instantly Mary's skirt was lifted and her panties were lowered. Mom's palm flashed up and down rapidly while Mary squirmed under the spanks.

"Ow" Mary cried. "Stop it! I'll eat, I'll eat!"

"That's right you'll eat," said mom. "You'll do everything you're told from now on, WON'T YOU?"

"Yes, yes" Mary pleaded. "I'll do it!"

Mom stopped spanking Mary and let her up. When Mary went to reach for her panties mom just shook her head. Mary lowered her head, retrieved her plate and sat back in her chair. She ate quietly, sobbing the odd time. I saw her lips move like she was saying something, but I couldn't make it out.

Mary finally finished eating her dinner and was given permission to leave the table. Mom told her to retrieve the wooden spoon from its place and bring it to her. Mary recurrently obeyed and returned a moment later and offered the spoon to mom knowing full what it was about to be used for.

Mom took the spoon and then grabbed Mary by the wrist and again flung her daughter over her knee. Mary made no sound this time as mom trapped Mary's wrist and legs and then flipped up her skirt. Mom picked up the spoon and raised it high above her shoulder and then brought it down hard on Mary's bare bottom.

I watched with a slack jaw as mom rapidly spanked Mary with the spoon. Mary squirmed around and howled and begged for mercy but she received none. Mom was being extremely thorough with the spoon, making sure to cover every bit of Mary's bottom and even started working on her thighs.

Mary was unaccustomed to such a severe spanking, and her body language showed it. She was completely broken had settled down a great deal in her crying. Mom had spanked every bit of defiance out of Mary and was still spanking.

Mom delivered several hard swats to Mary's thighs and then released her. Mary collapsed to the floor sobbing in great heaves. When Mary had regained enough composure to stand, mom escorted her to the cornerstool and sat her on it, making sure the ankle restraints were securely fastened.

After Jessica she too was taken over mom's lap and given a dose of the helper paddle on her bare bottom and sent to the corner. I too was spanked and sent to the corner with Jessica. Mom said that the spanking was just a reminder to behave and obey the law.

Jessica and I were still in the corner when Mary was released from the cornerstool and given a spanking by dad. Mary did quite a bit of screaming and howling as dad fried her bottom with the paddle. I also heard dad order Mary into level IV pain-ties and then to bed. Mary had outgrown her special custom pain-ties she'd received last year, but dad said that they were in production now and Mary would be getting a new pair soon.

After Mary had left, Jessica and I were let out of the corner and also put to bed.
