Freedom at a cost

"Okay," Xena said, "we got to get them unstuck. Jane, you take Emma. Zoe, help me pull Taylor off, okay?"

"This is bad karma..." Zoey said under her breath as she grabbed Taylor's left arm, Xena grabbing her right.

"Will you shut the hell up about that already?!" Jane barked as she grabbed Emma's arms.

"Okay, on three." Xena called out, "One... Two..."

Outside, Paula placed the bottle of quick drying super glue back into her bag, a smile on her face as she walked away from the cabin that the five girls were staying in. Suddenly, she stopped as she saw something that made her laugh and scratch her head in confusion at the same time.

Sandalwood and his nine suitors were waddling up to the door that the five had left open, only they were soon followed by two more lady skunks.

Then two more.

Then five more.

Then twenty-seven.

By the time the ninety-seventh skunk waddled into the cabin, Paula was beside herself with laughter. This almost seemed like something out of a cartoon! The chubby woman crept up to the door and peeked inside as she saw the whole skunk battalion taking up residence in the living room and the bedrooms of the cabin.

Stifling a laugh, Paula quietly closed the door, placing a lawn chair on the porch in front of the knob. Walking around to the backdoor, she pushed a log in front of it, blocking the way before she walked back to her car.

"Just... Keep... Pulling!" Xena grunted as she, Zoey, and Jane tried to pull Taylor and Emma free after about twenty minutes.

After an additional ten minutes, the two were finally pulled free, both letting out a yell of pain as they rubbed their now sore asses.

"Whoever's behind this must have struck our own cabin!" Emma groaned, looking over the red, toilet seat shaped mark on her butt.

"Bad kar-"

"Shut up!" Jane snapped. "If that bitch is still here, she's just asking for trouble!"

"Wait, do we really wanna mess with her?" Zoey asked fearfully, "If she was responsible for everything that happened to us so far, who knows what else she could have done to the cabin?"

"Only one way to find out, I suppose." Jane said as she marched towards the door and opened it wide, marching out of the room as the other four followed her.

"Listen, Bitch!" Jane shouted as they reached the living room, "We know this is all your doing! So yoooooooooo...."

The woman trailed off before stopping completely, her eyes widening in fear as the other women did the same. One hundred ninty-six beady eyes stared back from the living room.

"Oh no..." Taylor and Xena squeaked simultaneously as they covered their faces.

"Mommy." Emma whimpered pathetically as she closed her eyes.

Zoey felt her lip quiver as spun on her heels to face away from the ninety-eight skunk firing squad. "Why us?"

And Jane?

"Aw, screw me." She said flatly as the skunks turned around and lifted their tails.

Paula had the windows down as she buckled herself into her car, so she wasn't surprised to hear the loud terrified screaming coming from the cabin or the strong oder that came from it. The chubby woman laughed loudly as she slowly drove away from the cabin in question...
