One night, Lifty and Shifty were thinking about robbing the bank for fun again. They were confident they wouldn’t get caught again. They got ready, putting on their black sweaters, Lifty’s matching beanie, and Shifty’s signature fedora. They decided to stick to something simple this time. They headed out and made sure that they weren’t spotted. They were really nervous but kept going. They went through the back again but made sure to close the door this time. They looked around and made their move. But then, someone shouted “FREEZE!!” as a bright light shined upon them. They froze as the figure approached them. It was the security guard and she was not happy. “What are you kids doing here?” She demanded. “Nothing. We were just in the bathroom and didn’t realize that it was closing time. We’ll just be leaving now.” Shifty said, nervously. “Hold on. I remember you two. You were here a few months ago, weren’t you?” She asked, getting suspicious. “BOYS!!!” shouted a familiar voice, causing the boys to go limp. “Oh shit.” Shifty whimpered. It was Splendid and he was furious. “Didn’t we already have this discussion before?” He yelled. Lifty and Shifty started to panic because they knew what was coming. “Ma’am, I’m so sorry about these two. Here, I’ll deal with them.” Splendid said. “NO!!! Please don’t.” Lifty pleaded. Seeing how scared the raccoons were, the security guard agreed to let Splendid deal with the boys. “Well, I was going to alert the police, but I have a feeling you have something that works better.” She said, smiling. “They're all yours, Splendid.” Splendid grabbed them by their wrists and dragged them outside. “Do you two want to explain yourselves?” He demanded. They tried to come up with something to say, but just looked down, ashamed. “Well, clearly you didn’t learn your lesson, so let’s fix that.” Splendid continued. Lifty and Shifty didn’t even try to fight it, they just followed Splendid to his house, apologizing and begging him not to spank them again the whole way. But when they got there, he ordered them to head to that room and wait for him, and they did. When they got there, they sat on the stools and remembered the horrible feeling of their sore backsides pressed against the stools. They waited in anticipation for Splendid to return. Soon enough, he entered the room, holding the fur-brush. They winced at the sight of it. He set it on the table and sat down. “Boys, I am very disappointed in both of you. I honestly thought that you had learned your lesson, but if you had, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.” He said. “Shifty, over my lap, now.” “What, n-no. Why not him?” Shifty whimpered. “Because you’re older,” Splendid replied. “Now get over here. Lifty, you stand in the corner.” Lifty walked over to the corner and stuck his nose in it. “Shifty, just get over here and I’ll use my paw. Keep resisting and I’ll use the fur-brush.” Splendid said. Shifty slowly got up, walked over to Splendid, and laid down on his lap. “C-can I at least hug your tail, please?” Shifty whimpered. “I don’t think you deserve to” Splendid snapped. Splendid raised his paw and brought it down on Shifty’s bottom. “OW!!!” He yelled. Splendid raised his paw and brought it down again. “AAHH!!! Please stop, it hurts” Shifty begged. Splendid ignored his pleas and kept the slaps coming. “P-please, I’m s-sorry. *sniff* I’ll b-behave, I swear.” Shifty whined, wiggling. “If you don’t quit squirming, I’ll use the fur-brush.” Splendid snapped. “N-no, it hurts. Please, it hurts.” Shifty whimpered, putting his paw over his bottom. “That’s it, get up.” Splendid snapped. Shifty did as he was told, and Splendid grabbed him by the ear and dragged him over to the desk. “Put your paws on the desk, NOW!!” Splendid shouted. “W-why?” Shifty asked, tears running down his face. “Because I told you to do so.” Splendid said, grabbing the fur-brush. “N-no, please don’t use the fur-brush. Please…” Shifty whimpered. Splendid raised the brush and brought it down with as much force as he could. “AAHHH!!! I’M SORRY, PLE-PLEASE *sniff* It hur- OOOWWWW!!!” He screamed as Splendid beat his backside with the brush. Lifty began to tear up as he listen to Shifty’s screams of pain. He put his paws over his mouth to try and stay quiet. Each strike of the brush hurt more and more as Shifty’s tail-end turned red. He struggled to breathe as tears and snot ran down his face. He couldn’t speak clearly as the pain made him want to scream. Soon, his legs gave in and he fell to the ground. He tried to speak but his words came out as utter nonsense as his bottom felt numb. He tried to rub his irritated bottom but the touch of his paw made it hurt even worse. Splendid put the brush down, helped him up, and told him to stand in the corner. “Lifty, your turn. Put your paws on the desk.” Lifty quickly shuffled over and put his paws down. “Why are you doing this?” He asked. “You boys need discipline. Without it, you’re making bad decisions” Splendid explained, raising the brush and bringing it down on Lifty's rear, causing the young raccoon to yelp in pain. “OWW!!” Splendid raised it and brought it down. “OOWWW!!! That really hurts.” He whined. Splendid kept beating Lifty’s backside without stopping for even a second. Lifty soon broke down into tears and whimpered louder with every firm smack to his bare bottom. He buried his face in his arms. Splendid grabbed Lifty’s tail and lifted him, so his feet weren’t touching the floor and began to spank the raccoon even harder. Lifty began to sob really hard as his tail-end felt like he was sitting on burning metal. He gritted his teeth at the feeling of Splendid slapping his bottom with the brush as tears ran down his face. The spanking continued for a few minutes and then Splendid told Lifty to stand in the other corner and Lifty, not wanting to anger Splendid any further, did as he was told and limped to the corner. “Both of you, stay in your corners. Whichever of you moves is getting another spanking, is that understood?” Splendid snapped. “Y-yes, sir *sniff* ow…” Shifty whined. “Yes *hic* sir. We won’t m-m-move *sniff*” Lifty added. “Good. I need to take care of some things. I’ll be back shortly.” said Splendid. The sobbing raccoons stood in the corner, regretting what they did and using their sleeves to wipe their tears and snot off their faces. They stood there for so long, afraid to move or speak in case Splendid came back. They waited for what felt like hours. Soon, Splendid came back and he was calmer. “Are you two alright?” He asked, his voice shaking as if he had been crying. Lifty and Shifty just kept their noses in the corners and didn’t say anything. “I understand. Well, I’m sorry for being so hard on you. Again.” Splendid said. He sat down and called the boys over. They walked over to him, hoping it was over. “Come here.” He said, holding his arms out. They sat on his lap and hugged him. They hugged for about 5 minutes and Splendid apologized again for being so rough with them. They repeated the same routine as the last time Splendid punished the boys with a firm paw.
THE END
