Yes

"Leave?" Tana asks as she shrugs her shoulders.

"Well, that is what the sheriff said to do, right?" Margaret says. She pats Esmik and Ibera on their burning butts one last time, causing each to yelp. "So long girls! Have a fun night..."

"Wait! D-don't leave us like this!" Ibera begs in a weak, raspy voice while Esmik mewls like a kitten in the chilly air, too hoarse to complain.

The bound, humiliated, and naked nobles watch helplessly as their tormentors abandon them, leaving the bratty girls alone with their thoughts... and their still-stinging butts.

As silence descends upon the bullied bullies, with only the steady chirp of the crickets to comfort them. The two girls weakly struggle in their pillories, but it's no use, and they soon resign themselves to their fate.

"This trip sucks!" Esmik finally manages to moan out.

"We'll make them pay!" Ibera agrees.

The two start thinking about all the things they'll do to this village and its people once they're free again (and get another huge chunk of cash from their parents), when the sound of distant giggling reaches their ears.

The two look at each other as a gang of rowdy teenagers, not much younger than Esmik and Ibera, slowly make their way down the street... and towards the village center!

The girls renew their futile struggle, which only serves to draw the attention of the teens.

There's four of them in all, all girls, but in the dim light, Esmik and Ibera can't make out much more than that.

"Ow wow!" Says the apparent leader, a short girl with a very high-pitched voice. "No one said there'd be anyone here tonight!"

Esmik and Ibera both turn pale and break out into a cold sweat.

Haven't we suffered enough?! They both think to themselves.
