Jenny by M.C. A pretty seventeen year-old girl has to deal with some neighborhood burglars, as well as her own coming of age. Jennifer Thompson (whom everyone simply calls Jenny) was awakened from her sleep and glanced over at the clock by her bedside. "It's 2:30 in the morning," she thought to herself. "Who could that possibly be at this hour?" Jenny was referring to the noise she heard coming from the living room of her home that had awakened her. "I guess I'll have go and investigate." The pretty seventeen year-old high school junior rose from her bed, quietly put on her bright pink nightgown and poked her head out of the bedroom door. In the dim light, she managed to make out four rather large figures quietly moving around the room and opening drawers. "Hmmm, burglars. I guess I'll have to do something about them, won't I?" Although there were four of them to just one of her, the intrepid girl knew she had a couple of advantages in this confrontation. First of all, because they probably weren't expecting her to be awake, she had the element of surprise on her side. And second, although Jenny appeared to be a normal seventeen year-old girl, she also holds a black belt in both jujitsu and tai-kwon-do. This was courtesy of her mother who is a martial arts master, owner and sensei of her own dojo (where Jenny is also an instructor) and made sure that her daughter would grow up to be, like herself, a strong and confident woman. Jenny's mother began training her daughter in martial arts virtually ever since she could walk. In short, this was one girl who could take care of herself. Jenny waited until one of the burglars came close to her and then WHAM! landed a hard roundhouse kick from her board shattering right foot to the side of his face, sending him sprawling on the floor. She then turned on the living room lights, further stunning the other three intruders and quickly went to work on them. POW! SMASH! WHACK! CRACK! And with a rapid series of punches and kicks, this amazing girl quickly managed to put all four of her 'uninvited guests' down. As Jenny waited for them to get to their feet, she looked them over and was a little bit surprised by what she saw. For there, right in front of her, were Robert and Jeff - her neighbors from right across the street. She also recognized the other two also, Greg and Ray, who, like Robert and Jeff were the stars of her high school football team. "Well, it's Nice to see you boys here," Jenny teased. "Robbing us are you? Well that's not very nice, Is it?. It looks like I'm going to have to teach you boys a lesson." And for the next several minutes, this amazing martial arts wiz battered the four boys - all of whom were much larger and stronger than she was (Jenny stood a mere five feet-six inches tall and weighed only 120 pounds) all around the room. "Honey, what's going on out there?" Jenny heard her mother ask from her bedroom. "Oh it's nothing mommy. Some naughty boys from my school were trying to rob us, but I'm teaching them all a lesson." The door to Jenny's mother's bedroom opened and out walked the majestic form of Ruth Thompson, a third degree black belt in tai-kwon-do as well as a world champion Brazilian Jujitsu fighter. And after surveying the scene that was playing out before her, Ruth smiled proudly and said, "Well honey, I see that you seem to have the situation well in control, don't you?" "Yes mommy," Jenny said as she slammed her fist hard against Robert's jaw. "You taught me well. Tee, hee." POW! A solid kick to Jeff's face sent the 220 pound right tackle down again. Ruth couldn't help but feel a great sense of pride in her daughter as she watched Jenny batter the four large boys around. "Yes," she thought to herself, "I did indeed teach her well." "Are you going to call the police mommy?" Jenny asked as she slammed her fist deep into Ray's gut and then socked him in the face. Ruth thought it over for a few moments. "Well honey, if I call the police, then they'll all be arrested and taken to jail." PUNCH! Jenny flattened Greg with another kick to his already bruised jaw. "And then they'll all be expelled from your school and thrown off the football team. Perhaps we should just let them go with the good beating your giving them and then give them a stern warning not to do this again." "That's a good idea mommy." THUD! WHACK! WHAM! Two punches and a kick from Jenny's lethal hands and left foot and Jeff found himself on the floor again. "They're all good football players and the team really needs them." "O.K. then," Jenny's mother said. "You can continue teaching them a lesson until you've decided that they've had enough. Then give them all a stern lecture and send these naughty boys home." "Will do mommy," Jenny smiled as she landed two hard punches into Robert's face. "Perhaps they deserve a you-know-what, like you used to do to daddy when he was naughty." Ruth grinned. "That's entirely up to you honey." Then she yawned. "I think I'll go back to bed now Jenny. You seem to have the situation well in hand and your mother needs her 'beauty' sleep." "O.K." SOCK! Jenny punched Jeff in the face, but surprisingly not very hard, "Pleasant dreams mommy." Jenny continued to beat up the four large boys for the next several minutes until, battered and beaten by this amazing seventeen year-old girl, they could no longer get to their feet. It was at this point that Jenny felt that they had had enough, enough of her beating that is. Now it was time for the you-know-what. Jenny went over to the dining room table, grabbed one of the chairs and placed it in the center of the living room. Then she walked over to where Jeff - the youngest of the four and her classmate - was lying. She reached down and grabbed him firmly by the collar of his shirt and literally dragged him over to the chair. Jenny sat down, yanked Jeff across her knees and pulled down his pants. "You've been naughty boys tonight, so mommy has to give you all a good spanking." And so, one-by-one, this amazing seventeen year-old girl took the largest, strongest and toughest boys on her high school football team across her knees and gave them a good spanking with her strong right hand (although she was surprisingly gentle with Jeff), reducing them all to tears in just a few minutes. And while she did so, Jenny also gave them a stern lecture. "Lucky for you that I decided to take it easy on you boys tonight (easy? She beat them all to pulp) or that my mommy didn't want to call the police and send you to jail. I hope you all learned your lesson. Because if I ever hear of any of you misbehaving again, then I promise you - the next beating I give you I won't be anywhere near as gentle as I was tonight." Jenny let them all cry for a few minutes before saying, in a soft and gentle tone of voice, "O.K. now, I think it's time (it was after four in the morning) for you boys to go home and reflect on what happened tonight," then she paused and added, "all except you Jeffie. You're staying here." "Me? Why me Jenny?" The mighty girl flashed him a cryptic smile and said, "you'll find out soon enough." Jenny then led Robert, Greg and Ray to her front door, gave each of them a hug and sent them on their way. "Pleasant dreams boys," she giggled as they staggered off into the night Then she turned her attention back to Jeff, took him by the hand and led him into her bedroom. "What do you plan to do with me Jenny?" he asked, visibly shaking like a leaf on a tree during a windy day. As he was now standing right in front of her bed, Jenny gave him a push (hard, but not too hard) causing him to fall back on top of it. She then sat down next to him and fluffed up her long, pretty brown hair. "Jeffie," she began in a surprisingly girlish tone of voice (which seemed somewhat incongruous coming from the girl who had just beaten him and his strong, tough friends to pulp and spanked them only a few minutes earlier)." "First of all, as I'm seventeen years old now, my mommy said I can now start dating, and even have a boyfriend if I want." Jenny paused for a few moments as if she was weighing what to say next, then she continued. "And second, I've had a secret crush on you ever since my mom and I moved in across the street from you three years ago." Jenny then looked down, frowned and quietly added, "after my daddy passed away from cancer." Without meaning to, Jenny leaned her head against Jeff's large shoulder. A few more moments of silence followed before Jenny said, "What I'm trying to say Jeff is that I'd really like to have you for my friend, maybe even a boyfriend. I've never had a boyfriend before. And although it probably seems strange for you to hear this from me after what I did to you and your friends a little while ago, you did try to rob us and I really felt that I to punish you guys to teach you all a lesson." She then looked at him. "You may have noticed that I took it easier on you than I did to your friends. You don't even have a single black eye (all of Jeff's other friends had at least one), and I spanked you gently. And you weren't even crying when I finished spanking you." Another long and awkward silence followed, then Jenny put her head on Jeff's shoulder again - intentionally this time. "So, what do you say Jeffie? Will you be my boyfriend? I think you're a real cutie pie, and I've thought so for the last three years." An even longer and more awkward silence followed. Then Jeff, for reasons he wasn't quite sure of, found himself putting his arm around this amazing girl (a girl who can easily beat up both him as well as his strongest and toughest friends all at once!) and softly whispered the most wonderful words that she would ever hear. "Yes Jennifer, you were totally awesome tonight, and you're so beautiful too. I'd be very proud to be your boyfriend." For the rest of that night neither Jenny or Jeff slept a wink.
