Robin gets in way over her head

"Metro News really let her do this?" said Lily.

"Sure," said Barney, sitting next to her in the live studio audience, watching the camera crew set up. "Anything to help out a bro."

"Wow."

"And it doesn't hurt that Goliath owns the network. I was able to pull a few strings."

"But is it even legal? I mean, aren't there laws about this kind of thing?"

"Laws, schmaws."

"Oh, okay."

"Coming to you live from New York City," said Robin, scowling at the camera, "it's Barney Rocks News. I'm your host, Robin..." she grimaced, "Robin 'Sugartits' Sherbatsky, with all the hottest news for bros across America. In today's episode, spankings. Are they good for naughty girls like me? And are all Canadians secretly lesbians? I do some experiments to find out."

"So you cheated, right?" said Lily.

"Who, me? Never. I just happen to know what particular brand of tequila makes Robin overconfident."

"And how to draw a royal flush at the exact moment she thinks she's got you on the ropes? After losing twelve hands in a row, and getting her to raise the stakes each time?"

"Listen, I've been planning this for years, okay? I'm a master of female psychology. You really think I'd let a little thing like random chance get in my way?"

"Barney, you're a monster."

"Yep," said Barney, grinning from ear as ear as he watched a blushing, **** Robin, bathed in the hot glare of spotlights, slowly and begrudgingly begin to unbutton her trenchcoat. She let it slither to the ground, revealing to the hooting audience that she was wearing nothing underneath but an abbreviated French maid outfit, the bodice cut very low and the very short skirt trimmed with white lace. Behind her, a couple of attractive, tomboyish women in overalls were setting up a spanking machine.

"But first," she announced, her cheeks flaming red, resisting the impulse to tug down the skirt's hem as she stood exposed before the whole city, "an exclusive investigation from Metro News. Am I wearing any panties? The answer may surprise you!"
