A clown chase

The girl clown wheeled on the boy clown, a fist raised in the air. The boy clown quailed in mock horror. He stumbled backward, then turned and sprinted away around the tree.

The girl clown followed him. They ran around the tree once, twice, three times. The fourth time, the girl clown emerged from behind the tree alone. She shaded her eyes with her hand, scanning the crowd suspiciously, looking for him.

The boy clown crept out from behind the tree. He was holding an enormous banana cream pie.

"Bonnie," Susie said, urgently. "We have to do something."

"Lighten up," said Bonnie, although she sounded like she didn't really believe it. "It's just a show."

"But she's going to get pied!"

"She's supposed to get pied. She's a clown."

The girl clown made fists, and did a little dance of frustration, kicking at the dirt with her big shoes. The boy clown winked once more. Then he reached out with one long arm and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around, and he shoved the banana cream pie in her face.

The girl clown, breathing hard, reached up slowly and wiped cream from her pretty blue eyes. She looked down at her yellow blouse, now all flecked with sticky banana cream, and up at the boy clown, who was silently laughing fit to burst. She shrieked with rage and lunged for the boy clown, who smartly stepped out of the way and gave her skirted bottom a firm whack with his paddle as she passed. She stumbled, almost felt, righted herself, cast an injured glance back over her shoulder, her eyelashes fluttering.

The boy clown, feeling bad, lowered his paddle. Instantly the girl clown raised her fists and lunged for him again.

The boy clown stepped out of the way, stuck out a foot, and tripped her over. The girl clown landed face-down in the dirt, her face still sticky with cream.

The boy clown grabbed her by the suspenders. He sat down on a convenient stool that had been there the whole time, pulled her up and dragged her over his lap. He looked out at the crowd, smiled, and nodded his head enthusiastically.

The girl clown looked out at the crowd, her eyes wide, mouthing no and shaking her head enthusiastically.

The boy clown nodded his head even harder, taking a firm grim on the girl clown's suspenders and raising his right hand in a thumbs up. Susie's cry of "No!" was drowned out by the crowd's much louder cries of "Yes!"

The boy clown winked. The girl clown kicked her legs and squealed, trying to wriggle free of the strong white-painted hand that held her in place. The boy clown flicked her rainbow-striped skirt up, exposing her pink panties with the pattern of fat red lovehearts on them. He licked his hand theatrically and raised it high in the air.

Then, he began to spank her.
