The Merry-Go-Round
by M.C.
Two drunken college jocks get their comeuppance from a tough, beautiful carnival employee.


"I'm afraid you boys will have to get off the merry-go-round now," the large,
well built woman said to the two rowdy college athletes,"your boorish behavior
is preventing the children from enjoying the ride. And furthermore, you're not
allowed to have alcoholic beverages on the rides."

Rick Manson looked at over at his friend and teammate on their college
football team and smirked,"this lady here is telling us we have to get off the
merry-go-round Jeff. What do you have to say about that?"

"I heard her," Jeff answered with a snicker. "Maybe we should do what she says
or else she might give us both a spanking." The two of them laughed as they
sat on their merry-go-round horses, each holding a can of beer - one of many
that they had drank that evening.

As she looked up at these two arrogant jocks, Mary Cochrine felt the anger
building up inside of her. "I might very well have to do that boys," the
pretty brunette said in a very serious tone of voice," if you don't get those
drunken butts of yours down off the horses and leave the premesis this
minute!"

"Ooooh, tough talk there babe; now I'm really scared," Rick grinned as he took
another swig of his beer. "How about you Jeff, aren't you scared?"

"I'm shaking in my boots," he laughed.

Mary was not in the best of moods. She had been up since four that morning to
help assemble the rides, games and other amusements so that everything would
be ready by noon when the carnival opened. Now she had to sell tickets and run
the merry-go-round until late that night. Mary would do that - along with the
special acts she would be performing several times during the weekend - until
Sunday evening when the carnival closed. Then she would work through the
night, helping to dismantle the rides and packing everything up so that early
the following morning the carnival could move on to another town. Such was her
life during the summer carnival season.

Although the life of a carnie (carnival worker) was not an easy one, for Mary
it did have it's advantages. Because it was seasonal, it didn't interfere with
her college education and, while the work was physically demanding, it kept
the attractive 22 year-old woman in excellent shape. The money was good, thus
enabling her to earn enough during the summer months to pay for her college
tuition plus room and board. By working every summer in her uncle's carnival,
Mary had managed to put herself through college; a fact of which she was very
proud. Now, having recently recieved her Bachelor of Arts degree, the
muscular, athletic woman would begin what she hoped would be a permanent job
in her chosen profession as soon as the summer carnival season ended.

But right now Mary's patience was being stretched to the limit by these two
pompous jocks. While she had to work 16-18 hours a day, seven days a week all
summer long to be able to afford her college education, these pampered
athletes probably recieved free scholarships plus all the perks that go with
being a 'Big Man on Campus'. Mary felt that she was probably just as good an
all-round athlete as they were, if not better. But, because they were football
players at a major university, they acted as if the world was theirs. Although
she was furious at their behavior, Mary had to admit - to herself at least -
that she was also a little bit envious of them too. While she had to bust her
ass all summer long to support herself, these spoiled athletes were able to
just lounge around. As Mary watched them flaunt the rules and defy her, her
anger was reaching the boiling point.

"I'm going to ask you boys just one more time," she said sternly,"get off
those horses this minute...or face the consequences."

Rick's response was to gulp down the last of his beer, crumple up the can and
toss it on the ground just a few inches from Mary's feet." We're staying on,"
he said defiantly. Jeff, after finishing his beer too, also tossed the empty
can at her."So, what'cha gonna do about it toughgirl?"

Mary's answer was as sudden as it was stunning. Quick as a cat, the six
foot-one inch, 220 pound muscular woman bounded up onto the merry-go-round and
grabbed the two athletes firmly by their belt buckles, one in each hand. She
then yanked them both off their horses and unceremoniously threw the surprised
athletes off the ride. They landed flat on their backs on the hard ground. As
Rick and Jeff staggard to their feet, the large crowd of onlookers that had
gathered around to watch, began to cheer."That's just a taste of what's in
store for you boys if you don't get your sorry asses out of here right now!"
Mary barked at them as she stepped down from the merry-go-round..."now get!"

Stunned by what had just happened, the two large, proud and now very angry
football players ignored Mary's warning and instead prepared to attack the
woman who had publically humiliated them. "I was sort of hoping you'd do
this," Mary said as she stood in front of them with her hands on her hips. For
the first time since the confrontation began, a smile graced Mary's beautiful
face. It wasn't a smile of joy though but one of supreme confidence. As Rick
and Jeff closed in on her from opposite sides, the strong, intrepid woman
remained in place; still smiling with her hands on her hips. "O.K. tough guys,
let's get it on. I could use a good workout around now".

Rick, a six-foot three inch, 230 pound tight end, moved first. Thinking his
superior size was all he needed against the smaller woman he charged forward.
POW! WHACK! SLAM! BASH! A solid left-right-left-right combination of punches
to his face from Mary's rock hard fists and Rick paid the price for
underestimating her. Stunned by the strong woman's punches, he was forced
back.

Jeff, hoping to take advantage of the fact that Mary had her back to him now,
approached her from behind with his arms wide apart. But before the six-foot
one inch, 235 pound middle linebacker could wrap his arms around her, Mary
whorled around and landed a powerful roundhouse kick to the side of his face.
He fell back against the side of a trash bin. Mary then sank her left fist
deep into his gut and followed that with a hard right uppercut to the jaw that
literally lifted Jeff up over the side and into garbage bin. "You might as
well stay there Jeffy," Mary laughed," they'll pick up the trash tomorrow
morning." She then turned her attention back to Rick.

Quickly, before he had a chance to completely recover from her first punches,
the surprisingly agile woman leaped high into the air and slammed her right
foot into the big man's jaw. Showing all the skills she learned from her ten
years martial training, Mary - who holds a second degree black belt in
Shotokan Karate - began to batter the larger man around with her lethal hands
and feet. Noticing that Jeff had managed to pull himself out of the garbage
bin, Mary flattened Rick with another kick to his head. "Don't worry sweetie
pie, I'll be back soon as soon as I can."

Squaring off against Jeff now, the beautiful Amazon said," O.K. big boy, show
me what you've got." Though he was a strong, well conditioned athlete, Jeff
was clearly no match for Mary's strength and fighting abilities. He began
throwing wild punches at her but Mary's martial arts skills enabled her to
easily avoid or deflect his blows. When Jeff's assult began to wane, the
mighty woman quickly switched to the offensive. A powerful series of punches
followed - the last of which sent Jeff back into the trash bin. He was
bleeding from the nose and mouth and his head was swirling like he'd just been
hit by a truck. Jeff clearly wasn't getting up anytime soon. Mary smiled at
him and then returned to Rick who was just struggling to get back on his feet.

In another sequence of devastating blows from her fists and feet, the female
hellcat drove him back again until Rick was pinned up against a tree. Mary
continued to hammer away at the large man until he was no longer able to
defend himself. In his many years of brawling, Rick had never been hit as hard
as he was being hit now by this incredible 22 year-old female powerhouse.
Completely helpless to stop her vicious attack - and with his friend lying in
a semi-conscious state in the trash bin - Rick swallowed his pride, broke down
and began to plead with Mary to stop her onslaught.

"Now why would I want to do that Ricky?" she laughed after smashing her fight
fist into his jaw for the umteenth time," when I'm having so much fun."

"Please stop," he begged," I'm sorry...please stop hitting me."

For good measure the muscular brunette smashed her fists into her helpless
opponent a couple more times before easing off. She stepped back to admire her
handiwork; then grabbed Rick by the collar of his shirt and dragged him over
to the trash bin where Jeff still lay. With both of them now completely
battered and beaten, Mary's temperment changed dramatically. Her anger
subsided and was replaced by a lighthearted, even girlish demeanor."What am I
going to do with you two naughty boys?" she teased. Then Mary remembered
something Jeff had said earlier and she began to giggle."Yes Jeffy, that was a
lovely idea indeed; tee, hee, hee." She went over to the booth from where she
operated the merry-go-round and returned with a stool. "O.K. boys, it's time
for your spanking now."

Rick, still groggy from Mary's pounding, could offer little resistance as the
mighty woman grabbed him firmly by his shirt again, sat down on the stool and
yanked him across her knees. The large crowd that had gathered around began to
laugh as she pulled down his pants and began to spank his bare bottom hard
with her strong right hand. It wasn't long before Mary had the once proud
football player in tears."There, there now Ricky," she cooed,"if you promise
to be a good boy from now on, then mommy won't spank you anymore?"

"I'll...I'll be good," he sobbed,"please stop this."

"That's nice. Now go stand over there next to my booth while I give Jeffy his
spanking - and if you try to run away Ricky, I'll catch you and spank you
again even harder; understand?" Obediantly, Rick did as he was told. Mary then
yanked Jeff out of the trash bin, pulled down his pants and began whacking his
behind while the large crowd of spectators looked on in amazement (the sight
of this one beautiful woman first beating up these two tough university
football stars and then giving them a public spanking was one they'd remember
for a long time to come). After Jeff too began to cry, Mary dragged him over
to where Rick stood. Even though the two of them weighed 465 pounds between
them (to Mary's 220) she knew they posed no threat to her. After the pounding
and spanking she had just given them, Rick and Jeff were as meek as kittens.

"So you boys wanted to ride on the merry-go-round again, eh? Well, let's go
then." Speaking to the two large, strong football players as one would to
small children, the mighty Amazon led them back onto the merry-go-round and
over to the horses."This red one is for you Ricky, to match your nose; and for
you Jeffy, here's a nice pretty pink one."

"I...I don't want to ride anymore," Rick said, still sobbing."Me neither,"
Jeff added," just let us go."

"That's too bad guys, because you're going to ride my merry-go-round until
closing time tonight, whether you want to or not. So get your pompous asses up
on the horses." When they hesitated, Mary grabbed them firmly by their hair
and pulled them close to her."If I have to repeat myself one more time I'm
going to take you both across my knee again, understand?" Rick and Jeff knew
that Mary meant exactly what she said and that there was absolutely nothing
they could do about it. For, despite their larger size and athletic abilities,
this amazing woman had proven herself to be far superior to both of them.
Without saying another word, they climbed up on the horses. "There now," Mary
giggled as she strapped their two hulking forms into the seats,"that wasn't so
difficult was it? Enjoy your horsie ride; tee, hee, hee." She then casually
returned to her booth and began taking tickets from the enormous crowd that
was now waiting to get on.

For the next two and a half hours Mary worked the merry-go-round. As each new
group of children got on, and Mary strapped them in, she would smile up at
Rick and Jeff. "Enjoying yourselves boys?" The beautiful brunette was clearly
enjoying her dominiation over them. Finally, just before midnight, after the
last merry-go-round ride was over, Mary unstrapped her two 'friends'. But if
Rick and Jeff thought their ordeal was over, they were in for a rude
surprise."O.K. boys, now you're going to help me clean up the carnival
grounds."

"What?" they exclaimed simutaneously.

Mary couldn't help bursting out with laughter when she saw the expressions on
their faces."You heard me, you're going to help me clean up tonight; the area
in the vicinity the merry-go-round is mine. That way the carnival grounds will
be spotless when we open again tomorrow. Tomorrow is Saturday and the gates
open at 10 A.M. Did you boys think you could ride my merry-go-round for over
two hours for free? You've got some nerve. Now you're going to help me with
the clean-up ...or perhaps you'd prefer another spanking? "

"Why?" Rick asked, fighting to hold back his tears,"why are you doing this to
us? First you beat us up, then you humiliate us in front of everybody; and now
this...why?"

Mary smiled at the two crestfallen jocks."Grab a broom and dustpan Rick, and
Jeff, you grab a mop; I'll explain it to you poor souls while we work."
Meekly, they did as they were told."It's like this guys," Mary began,"while
you big, strong macho football players have practically everything handed to
you on a silver platter, I have to work very long hours each and every day
during my summer *vacations* in order to earn enough money to pay for my
college education."

Mary paused for a moment. "You call that floor clean Jeff? Mop it again, and
you'll continue to mop it until it's done right! Now, where was I? Oh yes;
even though I'll bet I'm every bit as good an athlete as either one of you,
the only colleges that would offer me even a partial scholarship didn't have
the curriculum I was interested in studying."

"And what was that?" Rick asked.

His query was met with a strange smile from his female antagonist. "You'll
find out Ricky, when the time is right. Anyway, in order to study what I
wanted, where I wanted, I had to pay the full tuition. That, plus room and
board, came to over $25,000 a year, an amount my working class parents simply
couldn't afford. So my uncle gave me a summer job in his carnival. Watching
you spoiled, macho jocks bullying and intimidating people on the
merry-go-round got me really pissed. You guys can lazy around all summer long
while I have to bust my ass. So I thought that what you boys really needed was
to be taught a good lesson in humility; so I decided to teach you one."

"Rick, are you blind? You're missing half the trash. Go over that area again
until you've picked up every piece of garbage. You boys are really trying my
patience."

For the next two hours Mary worked and lectured her two *pupils* on the finer
points of cleaning up a carnival and humility. When, sometime after 2 A.M.,
the exhausted boys finished, Rick turned to Mary and asked,"can we please go
now? I can barely stand up."

"Oh my poor babies," Mary giggled," you guys thought you were so tough didn't
you? Well, I've got news for you - neither one of you macho men would last a
week in my job; not one. And, in answer to your question Ricky, no, you can't
leave yet. There's one more thing you have to do for me tonight and then I'll
let you go. Now, follow me boys."

Rick and Jeff, heads bowed in total resignation, quietly followed the powerful
woman out of the carnival area and into the empty parking lot. She led them to
a small trailer parked on the side, unlocked the door and motioned them to
come inside. Once inside, Mary closed and locked the door behind her."This is
my home during the summer carnival season," she said and added with an evil
smile,"and now you two big, strong, gorgeous hunks...take off your clothes!"

"What!" they exclaimed in unison,"no fucking way!"

If someone had been walking past the carnival parking lot at around 2:30 A.M.
that Saturday morning, they might have heard some very strange sounds coming
from inside the small trailer that was shaking violently from side to side.
WHAM! POW! SLAM! CRASH! WHACK! And if they had been listening carefully, they
might also have heard - above sounds of two men screaming and then crying - a
female voice...laughing. After a while the crying subsided and was replaced by
moaning... lots of moaning. Every so often the female voice could be heard
screaming, "YES!...OH YES!...OH YES!" This went on all through the night and
well past sunrise. Then, after a period of relative quiet, the sound of a
shower could be heard.

Sometime after 9:00 A.M. the door to the trailer opened and a big, powerful
and beautiful woman with long brown hair got out. She was carrying a rather
large, athletic looking man over her right shoulder. She walked him over to a
grassy area and gently lowered him down under a tree; then returned to the
trailer. She soon emerged again, carrying another, equally large man and
placed him down alongside the first. Although the two men appeared to be
rather badly beaten, they both had blissful smiles on their faces as they
slept. The large woman then leaned over and kissed each one on the forehead.
"Sleep well my sweeties," she said softly,"we'll be seeing each other again,
sooner than you think." The beautiful Amazon then locked the door to her
trailer and began walking off in the direction of the carnival grounds.

About an hour later the two football players woke up. Although they had aches
and pains all over their bodies from Mary's beating - as well as her equally
brutal lovemaking - they both had smiles on their faces; it had been a night
neither of them would ever forget. As they slowly limped away, they passed by
a large poster at the entrance to the parking lot. They stopped and stared in
disbelief. For there on the poster was a lifesize picture of a very attractive
and muscular woman...Mary. She was dressed in a sexy leopard one-piece bathing
suit with her long beautiful brown hair falling across her massive shoulders.
Mary had a smile on her face as she was bending what appeared to be a steel
bar in her bare hands. The caption below the picture read:

"See The Marvelous Mary Strongwoman Show: Saturday and Sunday at 1 P.M. and 4
P.M."

Epilogue: Two months later

"Pathetic!" the head football coach growled as he assembled his team for their
first practice of the year,"last year's performance was simply pathetic! We
managed to win only three games - and one of those was on a last second field
goal against the worst team in the conference. You call yourselves athletes?
That's a laugh. You lacked conditioning, stamina, and most of all, drive. It
was a totally disgraceful performance! This year things are going to be very
different. This year I've hired a strength and conditioning expert who will
whip you men into shape. No more will you guys be blowing a fourteen point
lead in the fourth quarter because you're tired. This year you're going to be
fighters. This year we're going to win the conference and get a bowl
invitation!"

Rick and Jeff stood in the back row as the coach spoke. As they listened,
their attention was drawn off to the side where a large, extremely well built
and somewhat familiar figure stood. Suddenly, their jaws dropped."Oh my God!"
Rick said in disbelief,"it can't be...it can't...Holy Shit!"

"I can't believe it either!" Jeff cried,"we're in for pure hell now!"

"It gives me great pleasure," the coach announced to his team,"to introduce to
you our new strength and fitness coach. She's a proven expert in all forms of
physical fitness - a world class weightlifter, an expert in martial arts and a
carnival strongwoman. It'll be her job to whip you boys into the best shape of
your lives. You'll do whatever she tells you to do, without question! Anybody
who finds he can't keep up will be dropped from the team. Is that clear? So,
without further delay, I will now leave you in the very strong and very
capable hands of Ms. Mary Cochrine - The Marvelous Mary."

As the beautiful, powerful woman stood before the university football team and
prepared to explain the intensive training regimen she was about to put them
all through, she glanced over at Rick and Jeff. Mary couldn't help but giggle
to herself when she saw the stunned looks on their faces...it was going to be
a very interesting season for them.
