Tell () Linda to dose Ashley

You: "I don't think Ashley will ever come to her senses. But I have something that can fix that problem."

Linda stares at you attentively

You: "For the last year I have been workin on a serum. A serum, that puts whoever drinks it in a very special state of trance. A trance that makes them susceptible and receptive for anything they're told. Do you understand?"

Linda: "Yes, master."

You: "I used that serum on you twice, Linda. It's the reason you're my **** now."

Linda: "Oh, then it must be really powerful."

You: "Do you feel any different with that knowledge?"

Linda: "No, master. Just grateful to be of service."

You: "I want you to use that serum on Ashley."

Linda: "Yes, master."

You: "The trance is short, but if you do exactly as I say, Ashley will finally be of use."

Linda: "I will not disappoint you, master. Ashley will be yours."

Tuesday

Ashley enters the house.

Ashley: "MUM?"

Linda: "I'M HERE!"

Ashley follows her voice upstairs to her own room. Linda sits on the bed, looking a bit tired, but happy. Ashley came back after her mother sent her a text message that she had broken up with you. Linda gets up from the bed, teary eyed and opens her arms. Ashley hugs her mother tight.

Ashley: "Hey it's all good."

Linda: "I'm so sorry."

Ashley: "It's fine mum. It's all good. We'll be okay."

Linda: "I love you so much."

Ashley: "I love you, too"

Ashley: "You wanna talk?"

Linda: "Yes. Are you oaky?"

Ashley: "Of course I am. Your text really surprised me, though. I mean... It's really over?"

Linda: "Yes. It's over."

Ashley: "How did it happen?"

Linda (shakes her head): "Let's talk about that tomorrow, okay? I'll make us a nice, big breakfast."

Ashley: "Okay, that sounds nice."

Linda: "I'm happy you came back."

Ashley: "Of course. I'd never leave you, mum!"

Linda: "I know. You're a good girl. Let's talk tomorrow."

Ashley: "Where is... he?"

Linda: "I don't know. Hotel I guess. We're moving out asap and until then I want to make sure that there will be as little contact with him as possible."

Ashley: "Oh man, that sounds perfect. Mum I am so happy you finally did that! I'm very proud of you."

Linda: "Thank you, honey. Goodnight."

Ashley: "Good night, mum. Oh, hey. Where is my picture of dad?"

Linda: "The one from your nightstand? I already packed it."

Ashley: "Oh, alright."

Wednesday

Ashley enters the kitchen where Linda is preparing a huge breakfast.

Ashley: "Wow, mum. You didn't exaggerate."

Linda: "What can I say? We have to celebrate our independence, don't we?"

Ashley (chuckles): "Oh, I'll drink to that!"

Linda: "Your orange juice is waiting for you right here."

Ashley: "You're the best!"

Linda (laughs): "I know."

Ashley (takes the glass): "So... you wanna talk about what happened, then?"

Linda: "Sure. Let's sit down. What do you wanna know?"

Mother and daughter take a seat at the kitchen table.

Ashley: "I mean, first of all: What was up with you over the weekend? You acted really strange. I thought he brainwashed you or something."

Linda: "Oh it's embarrassing, really. I was thinking about breaking up for a while already. He was insisting that some role playing would help our relationship dynamic. Something about the primal urges of the male and female"

Ashley: "Puke."

Linda: "I decided to give it a shot. One last shot and if it wouldn't work I would break up. And so we did some of this role-playing stuff. I don't think I should go into detail here..."

Ashley: "Yeah, Please don't. I got the idea when I caught you in the act."

Linda: "Right. Anyway. I actually enjoyed being in a more submissive role for once. That really surprised and confused me. I felt **** and ashamed, but at the same time I wanted to explore this part of me a bit more."

Ashley: "Wow, mum...."

Linda: "Anyway. I think this power fantasy really went to his head. He started to boss me around and was mean when he shouldn't be. After you caught us, I knew it was time to stop. He didn't like that. And then... I told him to get lost."

Ashley: "You did the right thing, mum. You know that, right?"

Linda: "Aren't you thirsty?"

Ashley: "Oh, right. I was hooked by your story."

Ashley gulps down the juice.

Ashley: "I'm so proud of you."

Linda: "Yes, me too. I sure you will make him very happy."

Ashley: "What?"

Linda (chuckles): "Don't worry about it."

Ashley: "Mum? What did you mean? I don't unnersand."

Linda: "You don't what?"

Ashley: "Idoluh...?"

Ashley stares blankly at her mother, mouth slightly open. Linda presses the button on the watch that her master gave her. She did a good job so far. Now it was time to really make her master proud. Linda knew word by word what her master wants her to say.
