She says she'll strip, too

Maggie looks at the line of leering men waiting to pay to get into the venue. She checks her gut again. Yes, she's willing to cause Tanya some humiliation for **** after the years of bullying. However, the part of her that used to crush on Tanya needs to have it be safe and under her control. "Dammit," she curses under her breath. She can't believe she's going to do this but it's the only way she can get inside and possibly stop this whole situation. "I want to strip," the girl who rarely shows skin in public declares.

The bouncer's smiles stretches wider, "I was hoping you'd say that. You're definitely my type. Maybe I'll take my break when it's time for you to go on. What's your stage name?"

"Uh, R-Raven."

He speaks into the radio, "Tony, I have another one. Add 'Raven' to the list."

"Send her in," a voice on the radio says back.

The bouncer unclips the rope blocking the door. Maggie takes a deep breath and steps to the door.

Meanwhile, moments ago inside Classifieds, Tanya had found her way to Tony, "wait, where's Candy?"

Tanya shrugs. "I don't know who that is. I'm Tanya Wegner."

Tony casts an eye over to the DJ who taps his watch. "Fuck, whatever, we're almost out of time. What's your name?"

"Tanya Wegner," she repeats.

"No, your stage..." the song comes to an end and the DJ puts his hands up as the current stripper comes off the stage. "...screw it. I don't have time for games. John, this one's replacing Candy. 'Tanya Wegner.' Okay, Babe, remember the rules: First song, clothed. Second song, top off. Third song, fully nude. Now get up there and dance."

"Wait!" A voice yells. It's Candy. Tanya freezes in place. "That's my spot," the girl yells.

Tony slaps Tanya's ass and she yelps, "don't worry, hun, I'll deal with her. You get up there and dance."

Tanya is horrified when she looks around the room and realizes what she's about to do. She hears Tony arguing with Candy behind her. Why didn't he just let Candy go on, she wonders to herself. Yet, her bare feet start moving her body toward the stage. "Everyone get ready for our next competitor on this amateur night. She's brand new to our stage but isn't shy about letting you all know who she is. Gentlemen, put your hands together for Tanya Wegner!"

Tanya hears her real name announced to the audience of horny men. She blushes as she realizes what Tony was asking when he asked for a name. Why was she suddenly so naive? Lana del Rey's "West Coast" starts playing as Tanya climbs the stairs and the girl finds her body trying to move and match the sultry music. The men ringing the stage start to hoot and holler. Many hold out singles but Tanya keeps dancing in the middle of the stage.

"Get those sweet teen titties over here and take my dollar," one older man yells to her.

Tanya doesn't want to leave the security of the middle of the stage but her body moves in its own. She shimmies and shakes over to the man, lowering herself so her bikini-clad "sweet teen titties" are near his face. He grins and licks his lips. She snatches her dollar and tries to **** a smile. Once the dollar is in her hand she returns to dancing in the middle of the stage and away from the men. Her timidness isn't appreciated.

"C'mon girl, stop being so shy," one yells.

"Get to the edge and earn yer dollars," another adds.

"Stop acting like you don't get off on this," says a third.

Tanya's cursed brain absorbs it all. Suddenly all of her modesty and apprehension drains from her body. She sees the men holding out dollars craving her attention and feels a shock of arousal. She finds herself filled with the desire to earn the dollars the men are offering. She taps into her cheerleader training and projects enthusiasm as she kneels down and crawls over to one of the men holding out a single. She does a somersault and ends up with her ass pointed directly at him.

"That's more like it," someone behind her says.

Maggie walks into the strip club just as Tanya starts to twerk at the man. She was still dressed, there was still time to save some of her dignity. As she finishes the ass cheek shuddering move and the man pushes the dollar into her bikini bottom Maggie starts to walk toward the stage.

"Hey, are you Raven?" She's cut off as Tony steps in front of her.

"Uh, yeah, I just want to see my friend," she says trying to swerve around him.

He shakes his head and continues to block her path, "that isn't how it works. New girls need to wait in the green room until it's time to go on. I've already had enough issues tonight."

The Lana del Ray song comes to an end. Maggie sees Tanya still rolling around on the stage enthusiastically collecting dollar bills. As Iggy Azalea's "Kream" starts pumping through the venue Tanya licks her lips and unties the top. She twirls it around her finger before dropping it on the stage.

A man yells, "oh yay, bitch! Let me motorboat those boobies!"

Maggie sees her options quickly running out.
