The P.U.S.S.Y. agenda starts to change

"But we can't do that...can we?" Ruby managed, looking around for confirmation, unsure of herself.

"Well, I don't think we'd be taken seriously," Shannon objected. "I mean, we're saying that they're inappropriate, right? And if they're inappropriate on high school girls they'd be even more inappropriate on us...right?"

"But don't you see?" Billy said. "That's why a demonstration works so well! The principal won't be able to deny that the uniforms are sensual and arousing with gorgeous mature women like you three wearing them. It'll be undeniable! He'll just stuff your research in a file somewhere, but THIS demonstration will be irrefutable!"

Billy pushed the logic of his argument with his power and the best sincerity he could fake.

"I...I don't know..."Shannon said.

Billy noticed Jill hadn't said anything yet. Was she the weak link?

"I guess it doesn't have to be all three of you," Billy conceded. "Just Jill could put one on. She does have those long legs, after all, and that pretty blonde hair. I guess she'd have the greatest impact.

Billy focused on the blonde and slammed down the accelerator on her libido, making her quiver with pleasure at the knowledge that Billy had noticed her legs and her hair and thought she'd be the best choice.

"I...I guess I could," she said, nervously...or possibly seductively...swaying her hips and teasing her hair. "I mean, if you think it'll help."

"But..." Shannon exclaimed, as Billy turned his focus on her and cranked up her jealousy of her blonde friend, making her panic at the thought that she would absorb all of Billy's attention. "But I can do a handstand!"

They all stared at her, confused.

"I do aerobics!" she tried to explain. "I used to do gymnastics. And I sometimes do cartwheels and handstands when I'm all alone!"

"Um...great?" Billy said.

"So I could do cheerleader stuff!" Shannon clarified. "I can jump and bounce around! You don't just have to have long legs to make the uniforms look...um...stimulating. How you bounce around is at LEAST as important!"

"Well, that is true," Billy conceded. "And the two of you together could do a lot more than just Jill alone. I mean, I bet you two in those skimpy little uniforms could come up with ALL KINDS of sexy...I mean, inappropriately sensual...routines. You're the really creative one, right Shannon? You and Jill could use your imaginations and really put on an impressive show for the principal. And then Ruby could talk about her data and show her, like, folder of papers and such. That might help too. After the demonstration, of course."

Billy focused on Ruby and made her feel left out and unappreciated. It was hardly even necessary to push Jill and Shannon any further, but he did it anyway.

"Oh! I know exactly what we could do!" Shannon said. "How high can you kick, Jill?"

"Pretty high!" Jill assured her as Billy made her personality more bubbly and gullible, easily led, easily persuades, and not so 'thinky'. "But not in this long skirt!"

"Well we're gonna be wearing the uniforms, silly!" Shannon reminded her.

"That's right!" Billy agreed. "You two are going to look so great in those uniforms! I mean, really inappropriate, but still really, really great!"

Shannon and Jill tittered nervously and nodded in agreement. Ruby wilted in the corner. Her breathing was shallow and rapid. Her eyes were gleaming with unshed tears. Her face was flushed as she looked longingly at her former minions. Billy mercilessly used his power to make the redhead feel even more isolated and unimportant.

"This is going to be so great!" Billy announced. "I just know you'll come up with an amazing routine, Shannon! And with Jill's long legs, the skirts are going to look just scandalous! This will work! i mean, it'd be better with all three of you but...I mean, I'm not trying to make you feel bad, Ruby. Your data will be a fine addition to the demonstration, of course. Not that you couldn't be part of the demonstration AND show your folder after. Maybe just introduce Shannon's demonstration? But no, you aren't comfortable with it. I understand."

"Unless, that is, you've changed your mind?" Billy wondered aloud.

And with a little push, Shannon and Jill decided to pressure their **** colleague.

"Come on, Ruby!" Jill said, twirling blonde hair around a finger. "It'll totally be fun! And with your short legs the skirt will look totally longer on you than it will on me!"

"You know, if you really cared about The Society for P.U.S.S.Y., you'd at least conciser ideas that you didn't come up with," Shannon pointed out. "I mean, you aren't the only one with good ideas, Ruby!"

"Yeah!" Jill said. "Shannon has good ideas too! She came up with the demonstration idea, didn't she?"

"Um, I think it was Billy's idea first," Shannon said. "But I'm helping develop it!"

"Oh my gosh!" Jill exclaimed, blushing. "I'm sorry Billy! I forgot!"

"That's okay, Jill!" Billy said. "I'm just happy you like the idea. It doesn't matter to me who gets the credit. I just want good ideas that will help the Society for P.U.S.S.Y.!"

"Unlike SOME people," Shannon said, glaring at Ruby.

"I...I think the demonstration is a good idea!" Ruby said defensively.

"Then why aren't you putting on a uniform?" Shannon challenged.

"You can change your mind if you want to, Ruby," Billy encouraged.
