I woke up one morning and went into my brother’s room, which was also my room, and saw a lot of tissues in his trash can. So many, in fact, that the can was overflowing and the tissues were falling out. Now I know what you’re thinking, but he was just blowing his nose, not his load because he was sick, which was a problem because he was supposed to babysit some kids today. “Hey, man. How’re you doing?” I asked, smiling. He looked at me and sneezed into a tissue. “Ow… *sniff* I’m fine. I feel like crap, but overall…” That was all he could say before he began having a sneezing fit. “So… I’m assuming you won’t be babysitting today?” I said, knowing he was in no condition to deal with something like that. “I guess not. *sniff* It sucks, really, since they’re terrific kids. Well, maybe a few things that kinda throw me off, but nothing too bad.” He said. I sat down on his bed. “Y’know, Shaun, I admire your maturity,” I said. He smiled and said, “Thanks. That means a lot.” “I mean it. You were always reliable. Maybe that’s why you got the chance to meet those kids that day. What did you say their names were again?” I said, tilting my head. “Lifty and Shifty.” He said. “Ah, right. And you mention they’re raccoon twins like us, right?” “Of course.” “Neat” I found it very interesting that Shaun had somehow found two little kids who were like us in a lot of ways. “Y’know, I could watch them, or at least try. You and their parents deserve a break, since they have a little thing planned, and you’re sick and since I’m not doing anything for a while, I could throw that into my schedule and make it convenient for everyone.” I said. Shaun gave me a look that suggested that he thought I was joking.” If you really want to, I’m in no shape or mood to discourage you.” He said. “Alright. So when do I need to be over there?” I asked. “Um, lemme check.” He said, grabbing his phone. “Um, they said they’d be leaving at 7:30, so I’d say head out the door at maybe 7:05 so you’ll be over there by 7:25 and have 5 minutes to introduce yourself and get the usual stuff like times for food, baths, bed along with other stuff that might be important.” He said. “So you have about an hour to get a shower or whatever.” I nodded and went to take a shower and get dressed. I put on a comfy sweater I liked from a Christmas shoot a couple years ago. It was a pretty red sweater that had green stripes on the sides. It was winter, after all, so warm clothes were a good idea, especially since my fur wasn’t enough to keep me warm nowadays. I put on some warm pants and my sneakers, which I’ve had for a while and absolutely loved since they were colorful and awesome. I also grabbed my hoodie and grabbed my phone. I went into the room I shared. Meanwhile. Shaun was watching a movie on his laptop. “Well, how do I look?” I asked. He looked at me and smiled. “You look snazzy.” He said. “Heh, thanks,” I said, smiling. I walked over and held my arms out and he hugged me. We hugged for about a minute or so before Shaun told me I needed to get going. We exchanged “I-love-yous” and I left. I texted Shaun telling him I was leaving then I got in my car and drove to the location Shaun gave me. I drove for a little while until I found the house I needed to be at. Just in case, I got out and knocked on the door. Shaun told me two green raccoons would greet me at the door if I was at the right house. Sure enough, a female raccoon opened the door and said hi. “Come on in, It’s freezing out there, isn’t it?” She said, smiling. “Heh, yeah,” I said, stepping into the house. She looked at me with a confused expression. “Dear, I don’t mean to be rude at all, but something seems off about you.” She said. “I know you were probably expecting Shaun, but he couldn’t come. I’m his little brother, Rudy. Shaun was sick, so I’m stepping in. ” I said. Oh, by the way, my name is Rudy, and just like Shaun, I’m 21. “We’re twins,” I explained. “Oh, okay. Is he alright?” She asked. “Yeah, he was bundled up in a bunch of blankets and was watching a movie when I left.” I said. Honestly, I was mostly jealous of Shaun because of that. Honestly, minus the whole ‘being sick’ thing, Shaun was living the good life. “Anyway, can I meet the little rascals?” I asked, slightly giggling. “Sure.” said the Mom. She walked over to the stairs and called for the boys. “Boys, your babysitter is here. Come say hi.” She yelled out. Just then, another green raccoon, who I’m assuming was the father, came into the living room. “Nice to meet you, Rudy. I heard your name from the bedroom.” He said. Just then, I heard a voice saying, “Hello mister.” It sounded very young. Sure enough, I looked over and saw two small raccoons, one wearing an orange shirt with a red car that looked very modern and one with a blue shirt with a yellow car that looked very old-fashioned. “Oh, you must be Lifty and Shifty. Shaun told me a lot about you two…” I said, feeling uneasy. “But he never mentioned the…” I was completely stunned. “Oh dear, Shaun had the same reaction as well. You see, Lifty is too scared to use the toilet, and Shifty throws an attitude every time we try to teach him. Boys, go put something over your diapers, okay?” The boys went away and returned wearing some warm-looking pants, then sat on the couch, looking at me as if I had broken into the house while their parents gave me the brief stuff like Shaun told me to expect. Shaun told me to check the floor before they left but I didn’t understand why. Suddenly, the father reached into his pockets and said, “Thank goodness I remembered to grab the cond- err, the special thing this time.” Just then, I remember that Shaun told me the father dropped a box of condoms while he was babysitting, and that must’ve been why he told me to check the floors. Anyway, the parents finally left shortly after and I was now supposed to babysit the two small raccoons sitting in front of me. I texted Shaun about the diapers and we had a funny little convo about it for a minute. “So, which one is Lifty and which is Shifty?” I asked. “The one wearing the orange shirt raised his paw and said, “I’m Lifty and I’m the younger twin.” I took another look at their shirts and smirked. “Ah, hence the cars on either of your shirts. That’s pretty clever.” I said. “Anyway, what do you like to do for fun?” I asked. “Drawing and coloring are fun, but we also like playing with our trains.” Lifty said. “Trains? You have trains?” I asked. “Yeah, we have the small trains that come with a table and wooden tracks you can place wherever you want and build your own track.” He jumped up, grabbed my paw, and pulled me upstairs, causing me to nearly trip over several of the steps. I couldn’t even count how many times I nearly cracked my skull again. Anyway, we managed to make it up the stairs without anything bad happening and he dragged me into this room, where I saw a large table with about 4 or 5 trains and a giant wooden track. “Wow, that’s pretty cool.” I said, honestly stunned. “Do you wanna play with us?” He asked, giving me puppy eyes. “Heck yeah. I used to have one of these when I was really little, about 9 or so. I managed to save up for one and Shaun and I always played with it. Sadly, I don’t know what happened to it. But that’s in the past, how do you do this?” Lifty picked a train up, placed it on the track, grabbed my paw, put it on the train, and moved it forward and backward. “Choo choo.” He then burst out laughing. I just shrugged and moved the train around, but I didn’t want to make the noises. I then noticed Shifty came in and sat down, but he just stared at me. “Hi, little buddy. You’re Shifty, right?” I asked, but I already knew he was. He looked up at me and with a feeble smile, said, “Yeah, that’s me.” I smiled back and said, “I’m Rudy. It’s nice to meet you.” He seemed to like that since he giggled. Anyways, we played with the train for a while until I got bored. I checked my watch and it was nearly time for dinner. “This is fun and all, but it’s almost time for dinner.” I said. “What are we gonna eat?” Lifty asked. “I’m not sure. What do you guys like?” “Well, Shaun took us out for burgers when he watched us. Could we go out to eat again?” Shifty asked. I thought about it for a second. “Which burger place did he take you to?” “Umm… It was, uh… A big place with a flashing sign.” Lifty said. “Hmm… I think I know the place. Why don’t we go get some food from there?” I asked. They cheerfully agreed, so I told them to get their coats or hoodies and their shoes because it was freezing outside. They did, but Lifty put his shoes on the wrong feet, so I had to help him. Poor baby had no idea why I was laughing so hard. Anyway, I helped them get ready and I carried them to my car. Luckily, they were big enough to not need car seats. I used the GPS on my phone to find it since I was bad with directions unless they were explained to me. After fighting with the GPS for a while, we finally arrived at the burger place. We got our food and sat down to eat, then we headed back to the house. “Do y’all need a change?” I asked. They both said yes. So we went back to the house and I asked them who wanted to go first and Shifty quickly piped up. So I set him down on the couch, pulled his pants off, and changed his diaper. Then I let him put his pants back on by himself since he wanted to and changed Lifty’s diaper. Afterwards, they were clean and happy. Then we watched TV for a few hours until Lifty expressed boredom. “Can we do something fun?” He asked, stomping his foot. “Well, what do you wanna do?” I asked. “I dunno.” He said. I had an idea that would probably get me into some serious trouble, but I decided to go with it for some reason. “Do you guys wanna spank me?” I asked. Naturally, they were a bit confused. “What?” Shifty asked. “If you guys are really bored, I’ll let you spank me if you want,” I said. They looked at each other and nodded. “That sounds like fun,” Lifty said. “Yeah, let’s do it,” Shifty said. I looked at the clock and noticed that it was time for them to get a bath. “Dang. It’s time for you guys to get a bath. But don’t worry, my offer still stands. We can do it after you guys get your PJs on.” I said. They seemed a little annoyed but headed to the bathroom for their bath. I got a bubble bath ready for them because Shaun told me they liked that. Anyway, they got to play with their bath toys while I washed their fur. They seemed to enjoy it a lot. But the fun was just beginning. After their bath, I helped them into their PJs and we headed to the living room. They seemed as excited as I was. I grabbed a brush and a paddle and brought them to the living room. “Alright, who wants the paddle, and who wants the brush?” I asked them. “I want the paddle,” Shifty said. “I’ll take the brush. But how do you spank someone with a brush?” Lifty said. “I’ll show you,” I said. I dropped my pants and underwear and bent over the couch. “Here’s how you use the brush. When you’re spanking someone with a brush, you smack the person’s butt with1 the back of the brush. Like this,” I said, smacking my butt with the brush a few times. “You got that?” Lifty nodded and I gave him the brush. “Are you boys ready?” I asked. “Yeah,” They said. “Alright, have at it. Oh, and keep this a secret, okay?” I told them, wiggling my butt. Then, the spanking began. I will admit it did kinda hurt, but that’s the fun part. I told them not to go easy on me. They kept going for what felt like a good long while. Soon, they both stopped. “Did you guys get tired already?” I asked. “Yeah, but it was fun,” Shifty said. “Really fun,” Lifty added. I looked at the clock and noticed a few minutes had gone by. I stood up and rubbed my sore butt for a minute. “Alright, guys. I think we’re done here.” I said, pulling my pants up. “Why don’t you guys head to bed? I’ll be there in a second to read you a story.” They were already tired so they headed upstairs. Meanwhile, I headed to the bathroom to check the damage. I closed and locked the door and pulled my pants down to look at my butt in the mirror. When I did, I noticed it was covered in red marks and it hurt pretty badly. But I always enjoyed being spanked, even as a kid. Hell, I would often misbehave on purpose and then beg my parents not to spank me so they’d never know I wanted them to. Anyway, I pulled my pants back up and headed to the boys’ room to read them a bedtime story. “What would you like for me to read to you?” I asked. They said they were fine with whatever, so I chose a random book. The story gets really boring here, so I’d like to skip to when they fell asleep. I quietly got up, put the book back, turned the light off, and closed the door. I then went downstairs and waited for their parents to get back. I waited for what felt like a while. Finally, they came home and saw that everything was in order. After they did that, they thanked me, paid me, and then I got to go home. When I got back, Shaun was asleep and his laptop was still open and playing a movie. So I decided to pause and rewind the movie to the start, close the laptop, and plug it in. I then decided to go to bed myself since it was late. And that’s the end of this fun little tale of mine.
