Punishment and the Rules

"I see... Is that what you really want?"

Hilda nodded. "Yes please... I didn't know the rules but that was still no excuse." She looked at Melfina. "Please let me take her punishment in her place? Consider it a part of my apology to Melfina and my request a welcome gift. A boon..." Dave was quiet fir a time thinking about that... until she bowed and asked, "Please Master David?"

He looked. Tink and Harley nodded their heads "yes" while Melfina shook her head "no".

He shrugged. "Alright. Your request is granted, Hilda... normally the punishment is more severe than the transgression because our rules are so simple... but you impressed me. You're sincere apology to Melfina and words have moved me. I'm going with a much more "lenient" punishment-"

"Please," Melfina bowed. "May I speak?"

Dave nodded and she said, "I am the one who broke the rules. I am the one who needs correction. The punishment is rightly mine, not Hilda's!"

Dave sighed and rubbed at his face. "What to do... two Characters pleading for punishment? I'd expect this if it was fitting for your character. A Darkness or similar type would be begging for it. Instead I have you two..." he looked at Tink who shrugged and then Harley who grinned. She whispered into Tink's ear and she nodded then approached and whispered into his ear. "Spanking?"

"Yeah," he whispered. "I really don't want to punish anyone so I figured that would do it. The shame alone is probably enough for Hilda. But-"

"No," whispered Harley. "Ya gotta be fair and if there's a dispute in blame...?"

Dave blinked looking at first Tink who nodded and then Harley who grinned. He chuckled. "I see. You're both sure?"

Harley and Tink nodded. He knew Harley was... she liked this kind of stuff. "Alright it's settled. A spanking. Two dozen spanks to the buttocks..."

Hilda's eyes go wide with the humiliation but she nods. Melfina wasn't sure what to think about that... but it dud seem fair as she'd tried to strike Hilda and said so. "Thank you master. That's very fitting-"

"Split between all four of you so that's six slaps each, three to a cheek," he said.

Melfina blinked. "Wait..."

Hilda's reaction was nearly the same. "What?"

Tink and Harley nodded. "Understood Master," Harley grinned. "A very wise decision."

"I suggest we go by order of seniority," Tink said basically nominating to be first.

Dave nodded. "Agreed. Shall we begin?"

Melfina and Hilda looked like they were both going to protest but Tink and Harley touched their shoulders and shook their heads. This was as fair as it would get for everyone.

Tink, still human sized, nodded and went to his side. She removed her thong and tried not to smile and be very serious... because she was certain Harley wouldn't be able to. She was giddy already. Tink handed them over to Dave and lay across his lap. "We rarely get to do this," she said. "Good thing I'd already changed size..."

Dave nodded as he flipped her shirt skirt up and gently stroked her bottom. "Yeah. I know Harls likes this stuff," he muttered.

Tink nodded. "And I don't mind it occasionally. It's kinda fun from time to time... but it's not really your cup of tea," she did smile slightly. "You don't like having to actually hurt us... and that's what makes you a good disciplinarian. You don't want to but you will." She takes a breath and says loudly, "First rule is David is in charge, and as such has final say in all things!"

Dave nods catching on to Tinks performance and raises his hand bringing it down in a open handed slap. *Smack!*

"Eep!" Tink makes a small noise as it stings but nothing more. It actually sounded worse than it was. This was basically light foreplay for Harley. But it was important that she go first to show the others how it was done properly first.

"Second rule is to make an effort to get along with each other." *Smack!* "Third rule is no attacking each other, or others, except in Self-defense or when instructed to." *Smack!* "F-Fourth is to look out for and support one another." *Smack!* "F-Fifth is to help out w-where you can, either at work or at h-home." *Smack!*

Dave pursed his lips. Tink was really putting on an performance. The little quaver in her voice was a nice touch if a tad dramatic. And the repeating the rules was a nice bit of theater as well. He could see Harley in the cirner of his eye practically a quiver with excitement to get to her turn but what would Tink say for the sixth and final-

"I apologize for my need for punishment and will heed the rules henceforth. Thank you Master for this act of love and guidance!"

Dave almost rolled his eyes. That last was a bit much and over the top in his opinion but he wouldn't ruin her hard work and performance. *Smack!*

Tink made a show of laying there in his lap still and Dave guessed she wanted more from his part. He gently stroked her bottom and said, "You did very well Tinker Bell and you're forgiven for your transgression." He felt her poke him with her finger. *She wants more?!* he wondered then thought about what she'd tacked on the end. "*Ahem* I love you." He paused a moment then pulled her up and kissed her. "How's that?" He whispered.

She winked and whispered, "A for effort but a B- for presentation. B+ overall. Try to really sell it for Harls cause she's gonna be dripping."

Dave rolled his eye's. "Harsh but fair. It's not like we practiced."

Tink flounce away before he could give back the underwear. *Oh geez. That's taking it a bit too far!* "You forgot something?"

She turned and bowed to him at the waist likely flashing the others her short skirt. "A token for you, beloved Master of my promise to do better in the future." Harley gushed "so romantic!", Melfina blushed and Holda looked simply shocked. Dave's eyebrow twitched as this weird little ritual got even weirder. Tink, once she was behind everyone else and out of sight, smirked and stuck out her tongue at him.

He tried not to laugh as Harley, still dressed as Harleen, begged. "Just a moment, please Puddin'!" She said 'fixing her face' and then pausing. "Or did ja wanna punish Harleen too? Oh! Maybe ya should do both! I was at work when-"

Dave shook his head. "Once is fine, my love. Besides "Harleen" did a good job at work today."

"Oh poo," she said. "Wait... if she did a good job can she get a spanking as a reward?"

Tink smacked her forehead while Melfina giggled and Hilda looked at her in amazed disgust. Dave sighed. He knew when he was beat. "Sure... get up here Harleen. Why not though you're killing the punishment angle here. Now it'd be more of a punishment if you didn't get spanked like everyone else!"

"Awwww!" Harleen said putting her glasses back on. "You're the bestest! And you wouldn't leave me out of a bonding or a bondage experience!" She hiked her skirt up and practically tossed him her panties in joy before laying across his lap clearing her throat and getting into character. To her credit she did everything exactly like Tink did... except sexier. Then she killed the mood more calling for a "time out" so she could put on/take off her makeup and most of her costume minus the pants. She'd even put on new underwear to take off and toss them at him again.

All finished up with her double punishment/reward she grinned with her bottomless red ass hanging out as she joined Tink who shook her head. "You're fucking ridiculous, you know that?"

"In a good way?" Harley asked hopefully.

Tink just sighed but rolled her eyes and put her arm around Harley and kissed her cheek. "You betcha, Harls."

Melfina went next doing as Harleen had and hiking up her skirt. She dud everything like Tink had but her reactions were louder. It was her damn sensitive body. She really felt each stinging blow and caress. He even had to stop a little over halfway to ask if she was alright but she insisted begging, "P-Please Master David! Exactly the s-same treatment please?" And so he did and at the end even said the exact same thing's including "I love you, Melfina." And kissing her.

"And I... I love you, Master David." She kissed him back. They stayed like that for a long moment until Tink coughed. Dave tried to get her to take her panties back but she said the same thing. Even clasping her hands over his hand holding them tightly. "Please accept them?"

Dave nodded and swallowed. "Alright."

Finally it was Hilda's turn. She was clearly extremely embarrassed by it all but she only barely hesitated to remove her panties and present them to him after carefully folding them. *Just like a princess,* Dave thought as he accepted them. She hiked up her skirt and then humiliated lay herself across his lap. "The first rule is Master David is in charge, and as such has final say in all things!"

Dave nodded and stared at her lovely fair ass, raised his hand and brought it down in a open handed slap. *Smack!*

"Eeeee!" Hilda squealed as it stung unexpectedly more than she thought it might... but she flushed with shame at not bearing it with as much dignity and resolved to do better.

"The second rule is to make an effort to get along with each other." *Smack!* "The third rule is no attacking each other, or others, except in Self-defense or when instructed to." *Smack!* "The f-fourth is to look out for and support one another." *Smack!* "T-the f-fifth is t-to help out w-where you can, either at w-work or at h-home." *Smack!*

Dave paused as Hilda was crying... it wasn't the pain but the shame. He wondered briefly about wether to stop it ilor not and started to ask, "Hilda...?"

But she shook her head "no" looking at him not with anger but resolve and drew a trembling breath and then steadily let it out and said, "I apologize for my need for punishment and will heed the rules henceforth. Thank you Master for this act of both love and guidance!"

Dave nodded and brought his hand down. *Smack!*

Hilda laying there in his lap still waiting and nodded her head waiting for him to continue. He nodded again and gently stroked her bottom and said, "You did very well Hilda and you're forgiven for your transgression." He added. "I'm proud of you, Hilda and...I uhh..." He helped her up and saw the others staring at him. "*Ahem* I love you." She stared at him shocked as he very bashfully kissed her cheek. After everything they'd just gone through she'd expected him to be bolder but he wasn't. He was an alarming shade of red. She realized that he was almost as embarrassed as she was and he hadn't necessarily enjoyed punishing her but he turned even redder at the last statement and the "kiss"! He had enjoyed that part!

Dave was shocked as Hilda leaned in placed her purple lips on his cheek. "Thank you... p-please keep my token of favor..." she said before very softly adding. "I-I love you..." she quickly turned around and then not nearly as quickly walked away.

She looked at Harley grinning bottomless. "A court jester for a fool... how droll... I suppose you're intending on going bottomless for the evening?"

Harley grinned. "Ya think I should? Will you join me if I do? I hear some castles are drafty but I hadn't noticed any in this one until now."

Hilda stared at her... and then laughed and laughed some more. "Oh! So you have some wit after all! Delightful!" She went to courtesy but winced and extended her hand instead. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Fool. I am Prin- No, I am Hilda."

Harley took her hand. "It's good to meet you Hilda! My name is Harley Quinn! Get it? Dr Harleen Quinzel? A Harlequin? Hahahah! But you can call me Harley or Harls! I mean we're close enough to get spanked together! Hard to be closer than that!"

Hilda smiled. "Yes, I suppose that is so!" She turned to Melfina and bowed despite the pain. "Once again Melfina please accept my sincere apologies... I deeply regret my previous words."

Melfina shook her head waving her hands. "Oh no, Hilda! I apologize for trying to strike you and not being more patient with you! And now that we've been punished it seems silly to continue to blame one another for mistakes. Let's just forget the whole thing-"

Hilda caught one of her hands in hers and squeezed it. "I could never forget this experience... or that we shared it together. Do you know I think it strange but it might just be as Harley has said that it is a binding experience? You're well within your rights to refuse but could we... try being friends? Since we are all stuck here?" She looked at Tink, Harley and then Melfina.

Dave watched them all smile and nodding and talking amongst themselves. It made him smile too. "Well," he said getting up. "Dinner won't make itself. I better be getting that roast in the oven." He looked at his "tokens of favor" Hilda had called them. *Like a lady bestows on her champion?* He wondered. *Isn't that usually just a scarf or strip of cloth? I mean does she think I'm going to wear them tied to my arm and go out fighting? Well I definitely don't have any idea what I should be doing with them so it's probably best to hold onto them for now.* He tucked them in his pocket heading for the kitchen.

"Oh," said Melfina. "Let me help you!" Followed quickly by Harley saying, "Same. Excuse us ladies!"

Dave looked at Harley. "Why did you get a roast anyway? Isn't that more a traditional Sunday thing than a Saturday thing?"

Harley shrugged. "It felt more "royal". Her first meal with us should be grand. I picked up the stuff for spaghetti and meatballs. Let's do that or just leftovers tomorrow... something wrong?"

Dave stopped looking back and shook his head. "I don't think so. Just felt like someone was watchimg me... it's nothing... anyway a nice idea but a roast is no good for tonight. Not enough time. We'll do that tomorrow and spaghetti and meatballs tonight."

"Awwww. How come?" Harley asked as they disappeared in to the kitchen.

Tink smiled at Hilda. "He intrigues you, doesn't he?"

Hilda blushed. "How perceptive. Just what I'd expect of a Great Fairy, Tink."

Tink rolled her eyes. "I told you to knock it off with that. I'm just a tinker fairy-"

Hilda shook her head. "Yes, so you say. But you're clearly not just any old fairy. Just like she's no mere fool in dressed in motley or the other is no ordinary girl... and the thing bringing you all together is him. He is no ordinary man either."

Tink wanted to argue the point that dudes on Prime were everywhere and she could have ended up in a sultans palace just as likely as a rundown double wide. There weren't as many Hilda's around because there were tons of Zelda's. It wasn't that Hilda's were super rare or expensive though they were pricey if you got one with all the options. They just weren't as well known as Zelda's or some of the other princesses from the series...

... but she smiled and nodded. "You're not wrong. He pretends to be "ordinary" but he is pretty special. But that's just who he is. You might not realize it now but you got exceptionally lucky in my opinion. But despite all... this," she waves her hand indicating everything around them, "he pretends to be "ordinary"."

"Why?" Hilda asked.

Tink shrugged. "His family. They're legendary. Pretty sure some of them could literally eat a Triforce for a light snack... but they try to live simple and shockingly ordinary lives. But that ain't what makes Dave special."

Hilda looks at her. "What makes him special in your opinion, Tink?"

Tink smiles. "It's obvious... because I love him. He's got a beautiful heart and soul. He's a "good" man." She looked at Hilda slightly menacingly. "And rules or no, Harley and I'll rip apart anyone that tries to hurt him... not that he needs it. He's a capable warrior in his own right... just don't-"

"Yes," Hilda said. "I quite understand. To be perfectly frank I have nothing devious up my sleeves. Infact quite the opposite. He... intrigues me." She smiled at Tink. "You told me so much already. Might I ask you to tell me more?"

Tink smiled. "Hilda... it'd be my pleasure..."
