Chapter 7: The Naked March
Tommy had been keeping himself thoroughly amused with his humiliations of his sister for the better part of two weeks. The power to stop time had opened up endless possibilities, and Sally had become his favorite toy. He figured he could continue tormenting her indefinitely, but there were other scores still demanding settlement. Besides, Sally would always be around whenever he wanted to keep his powers sharp, or if he simply needed some cheap entertainment to idle away an afternoon.
In fact, he had indulged himself again quite recently, not long after the movie theater incident. He’d been walking past the local drugstore when, through the plate-glass window, he spotted Sally browsing the greeting-card aisle. She was focused on a birthday card, completely unaware that her brother stood outside with the power to turn an ordinary afternoon into something else entirely.
On a lark, he stopped time.
Tommy walked inside and approached his sister. He removed her sweater, folding it neatly before setting it aside. Her jeans followed, then her tennis shoes, then her socks. When he finished, she stood in the middle of the aisle wearing only a provocative, magenta-colored bra and panties.
Then he walked outside and resumed time.
From the sidewalk, Tommy grinned as he watched her eyes go wide and her mouth form a panicked “Oh, fuck!” The greeting card dropped from her fingers as though it had caught fire. She bolted down the aisle, arms flailing, her head swiveling desperately as she searched for her missing clothes.
Fortunately for her, the store was nearly empty. Only two customers witnessed the spectacle, an elderly woman and a teenage boy, both of whom turned to stare at the pretty, red-faced girl running around hysterically in her underwear. The elderly woman planted her hands on her hips, looking on in disapproval. The teenage boy’s jaw hung open in shock, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Sally found salvation at the prescription window, where her clothes hung neatly from hooks behind the counter. The pharmacist stared at her in bug-eyed disbelief as she frantically yanked the garments from the display area. She hurriedly pulled on her sweater and jeans, all too aware of his stare, her face burning with the shame of public exposure.
Tommy had laughed about that one for hours. But, as amusing as these whimsies were, he was ready to move on with some fresh humiliation.
His opportunity arrived during sixth-period study hall in the cafeteria, a perfect venue for what he had planned. The crowd was fairly evenly divided between freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, with the occasional senior drifting in from free periods. Tommy had a game plan.
His eyes scanned the room and landed on Linda and Nancy, seated together near the middle tables. Both girls had played memorable roles in Tommy's humiliation three years ago. The attractive girls were very popular among their junior class, especially among the boys. Linda was a tall, slim, well-proportioned blonde who carried herself with the unconscious arrogance of someone who had always been beautiful. Nancy stood a little shorter, somewhat on the chunky side, but compensated with a pretty face and very large breasts that drew constant male attention. As Tommy looked at her, her breasts currently rested rather prominently on the table as she read her textbook, completely unaware of the danger that lurked nearby.
Tommy nudged his friend, Nick, who was seated beside him. “Remember them?” he asked casually.
“Yeah,” Nick responded, “You owe them, big time.”
Tommy nodded, his eyes never leaving the two girls, who were laughing together over some shared joke. "Yes. And today's their lucky day."
As his gaze continued to roam, he spotted two familiar faces at the next table over. Michael and Danny sat together, engrossed in a card game, apparently uninterested in their studies. Out of all the boys who'd mocked him three years ago, those two had stood out. It was Michael who constantly teased Tommy when he was forced to wear the girls’ school uniform during recess and lunch, and it was Danny who continually taunted Tommy about his small, hairless penis when he was forced to put it on display.
Payback was long overdue.
Tommy stopped time for everybody except Linda, Nancy, and his friend Nick.
"You've been a loyal friend, Nick," said Tommy, turning to face him. "You never joined in back then. You never laughed at me. I thought I'd let you sit back and enjoy the show."
Nick leaned back, grinning widely. "Don't mind if I do," he said, stretching his arms behind his head. "This is going to be epic. What are you planning?"
"You'll see," Tommy promised. "Just watch."
Meanwhile, Linda and Nancy were both blinking in confusion, their minds struggling to process the sudden shift from normal cafeteria noise to absolute silence.
Then they heard Tommy's voice from a nearby table.
“How’s it going, girls?” Tommy said casually. They turned sharply, their bodies going instantly tense. By now, the rumors about Tommy's powers had circulated through the school, making him a figure of both awe and dread.
Linda’s eyes darted around nervously, taking in the impossible scene. "Tommy?" she asked, her voice tight. “What’s going on?”
"Oh, not much," he replied breezily, rising from his seat and walking toward them. “I just thought it might be kind of fun to see if you find getting stripped naked in front of a large group of people as embarrassing as I did. You remember that day, don't you, Linda?"
Linda looked at Nancy, and the look of terror on her face matched her own. “Tommy, that was a long time ago,” reasoned Linda, her voice sounding desperate. “I’m truly sorry. If I could take that day back, I surely would. We were stupid kids; we didn't know what we were doing."
“Well, you’re going to wish you could take
today back, because you’re in for some serious humiliation. The kind that doesn't fade with time. The kind that stays with you."
He turned to Nancy, who had instinctively crossed her arms over her chest despite still being fully clothed. "You can start by taking off all your clothes," Tommy said, his voice conversational. "Right here. Right now."
Nancy shivered involuntarily, but otherwise remained frozen in her seat. "Please," she whispered. "Tommy, please don't do this. I'll do anything else. I'll apologize every day. I'll tell everyone what we did was wrong. Please."
Tommy was prepared for her resistance. "Look, if I have to stop time for you and do it myself, you're going to wake up finding yourself in a compromised position with one of the freshman boys. Or girls. Maybe both. Either way, you're going to be naked, so I suggest you do as I say. Now strip."
"Oh, God," Nancy whimpered, the reality of her situation crashing down on her. It was plain for her to see that she was at Tommy’s mercy. She looked at Linda, hoping for some sign of rescue, but found only the same helpless terror on her face.
Nancy slowly, laboriously peeled off her clothes under the watchful, appreciative eyes of Tommy and Nick. Her top came off first, followed by her jeans, and finally, with hands that shook so badly she could barely manage the clasps, she removed her bra and panties. Her famously large breasts, once the subject of envy and attention, were now the objects of her humiliation.
Tommy promptly gathered Nancy's clothes from the floor, folding them with mocking neatness. She looked on horrified as he calmly sauntered a few steps away and dropped them down the garbage chute.
At this point Tommy brought Michael and Danny out of their time stop.
They looked around at the frozen cafeteria, at the scene before them, and then froze again, but this time from sheer disbelief, as they spotted Nancy standing completely naked, arms clamped across her body in a futile attempt at modesty.
"Welcome to payback, guys," Tommy said.
They both looked at Tommy with a sense of foreboding. Tommy wasted no time.
“Nancy,” Tommy said, turning to her. “Do me a favor and help Danny out of his clothes. Just dump them down the garbage chute when you’re done. Danny, I suggest you cooperate.”
Danny was well aware that the consequences could be much more severe if he didn’t do the bidding of the vengeful Tommy. He stood submissively, red-faced and miserable, as Linda slipped off his shirt, yanked off his shoes and socks, then unfastened his jeans. When she slipped down his boxer shorts, Danny’s smaller-than-average sized penis was still in a flaccid state, shrunken with fear and embarrassment.
What normally might be an erotic experience for a guy being undressed by a pretty, naked girl instead was filled with dread of whatever humiliations his tormentor had in store for him. There was no arousal in this, only the sickening feeling that Tommy had planned something far worse than simple nudity.
He watched disconsolately as the naked Nancy, who temporarily welcomed the coverage as she held Danny's clothes close to her body, dropped all his garments down the chute.
Tommy then reached into his backpack and produced three electric razors and a pair of shearing scissors. The day before, he had stopped time, entered a barbershop, and borrowed three of their best razors, intending to return them when he was finished. He plugged the razors into the wall outlet and handed the scissors to Danny, then gave one razor each to Linda, Nancy, and Michael, who had no idea what was coming next.
"What's this for?" Michael asked, his voice cracking.
"You'll find out," Tommy said pleasantly.
Tommy turned to Danny, who stood naked and shivering in the air-conditioned cafeteria. "I'm sure you recall, Danny, how you razzed me mercilessly that day about my smooth body? How you laughed at me because I was still prepubescent? Well, now it’s your turn to find out just what I felt like. Although it’ll probably be a little worse for you, seeing as you’re fifteen years old."
Danny didn't respond, still in shock over the latest turn of events.
“Arms up,” Tommy ordered. “Nancy, I’d like you to relieve Danny of the hair under his arms. Make them nice and smooth."
Danny blinked. "B-but Tommy... I didn't mean... it was just jokes, we were—"
“Here’s your choice,” interrupted Tommy. “You either follow directions like a good little boy, or I freeze you while you get shaved. The only difference is, when you come to, you’ll be tied to the shower in the girls’ locker room. I believe the junior and senior girls both have P.E. this period, so you should be quite a hit. Imagine their surprise. Imagine the photos." Tommy paused momentarily to let Danny’s grim situation sink in. “So, what’s it gonna be, Danny boy?”
Danny, eyes watering with the humiliation of his own compliance, slowly lifted his arms. The posture of surrender, of complete submission, seemed to please Tommy almost as much as what followed.
Nancy powered on the razor. Its buzzing filled the otherwise silent cafeteria. It was quite a bizarre scene, that of a naked girl shaving the armpit hair off a naked boy, both of them blushing crimson.
The electric razors were industrial models, heavy-duty equipment that barbers used for quick, efficient work. It took Nancy only a minute to complete her task, leaving Danny's armpits smooth and pink and exposed.
Perfect," said Tommy, examining the work closely. “Now everyone else, razors on. Linda, do his arms and chest. Nancy, make his legs all pretty and smooth. Michael, you're on ass duty. And make sure you get inside his crack. He'll have to bend over for you. Danny, you can use those scissors to cut off your pubic hair. Cut it as close to the skin as you can. Chop, chop, let’s go!”
Three electric razors buzzed to life, filling the room with their hum. Danny, after a moment's hesitation that earned him a warning look from Tommy, started cutting off his pubic hair with the shearing scissors, incredulous at what was happening to him, and what he was doing to himself.
In five minutes, it was over. The razors fell silent. “Nice work,” said Tommy. “Now, Linda, give your razor to Danny. Danny, please finish off what you started, and make sure you get all the hair off your balls.”
Danny, under the watchful gaze of his audience of five, sullenly shaved off the last remnants of his body hair. Tommy watched from his perch on the edge of a table, his eyes tracking every movement.
When it was done, Danny stood in the center of the cafeteria, naked and pink and completely bare, stripped of every last vestige of masculinity.
Tommy pushed off the table and slowly circled him, inspecting his work like a drill inspector would with one of his recruits. From his angle, the boy looked smaller, diminished by the loss of his body hair, reduced to something prepubescent and vulnerable. Just like Tommy planned.
He stopped in front of Danny and looked him directly in the eyes. The fear there was delicious.
"Well, Danny boy," Tommy said, smiling, "you look much like I did that day. ‘Course, I was only thirteen years old at the time.” Tommy laughed, and for the first time, Danny covered his genitals with his hands in shame, much to Tommy’s delight.
Meanwhile, Linda and Michael were anxiously wondering if they would be victims in Tommy’s depraved plan. As it happened, it was not a question of
if, but a question of
when.
“Linda, I don’t know why you’re not naked yet,” Tommy said. “Why don’t you treat us to a little strip show?” He paced toward them, his creative energy gaining momentum. He paused, considering, then added, "Michael, you come stand in front of Linda. Right here. Face the audience. And Linda? Every time you take something off, I want you to take the same article of clothing off of Michael. Just drop everything right here in a nice little pile."
Linda stepped forward, her hands shaking visibly at her sides. "Please, Tommy," she said, her voice cracking. "Please, don't do this. I feel bad about what happened to you. I really do. We all feel terrible. Can't we just talk about this? Can't we find some other way to make this right? I'll do anything else. Anything you ask. Just not this. Please, not this."
Tommy remembered the feel of her hand on his naked thigh during his day of torment. How she teased him, laughed at him while others watched and cheered. The memory burned hot in his chest.
“Why do you still have your blouse on? We don’t have all day here.” Tommy chuckled to himself, realizing the irony of his own words. They literally had all the time in the world.
With a defeated sigh, Linda's fingers fumbled with her buttons, slowly revealing a black lacy bra. She obediently dropped her blouse on the floor. She turned to Michael, who stood quietly in dread, and lifted his tee shirt over his head. He raised his arms obediently, his flushed face turned away from Tommy's gaze. The shirt landed on top of the blouse. Next came their shoes and socks, discarded one by one.
When she straightened, Linda reached for her jeans. She took a deep breath, then undid the button and lowered the zipper. She pushed the denim down past her knees, revealing black satin panties that hugged her hips. For Tommy, it created an arousing sight as her watched her tall, lean, tanned body gradually become unveiled.
She whimpered softly as she peeled the jeans the rest of the way off. Then she crouched in front of Michael, her hands trembling as she helped him out of his pants. He was cooperative, lifting each foot silently, staring off in the distance. Now only his white briefs remained.
Tommy broke the silence. "Now, Linda," he said, his voice conversational. "When you remove your bra, I would like you to place it on Michael's chest." Michael flinched, while Nancy couldn’t help letting out a squeaky giggle, despite her own predicament.
Linda reached behind her back and unclasped her bra. Her flawless breasts fell free, swaying slightly as she moved. From his perch on the table, Nick let out a low whistle.
"Damn," Nick admired, leaning forward. "Would you look at that."
Linda's hands immediately went to cover her chest, her bra dangling from her fingers at her side. Her face flushed crimson.
"Hands down," Tommy ordered. "You need them to dress our little friend here. Michael needs your help."
Under Tommy’s watchful eye, Michael blushed furiously as Linda slipped the bra straps over his arms and clasped it at his back. She stepped away, leaving Michael standing alone, wallowing in humiliation.
Tommy reached into his backpack and produced a pair of scissors. He held them out to Linda. "Here," he said, grinning widely. "Let's make this easy. Just snip those tighty-whities off our little friend."
Linda took the scissors and, without wasting any time, she made two quick cuts near the waistband. Michael’s briefs split and fluttered to the floor, exposing him in all his humiliated glory. His penis, which was normally at least average-sized, had shriveled up with embarrassment, the tip barely visible through his pubic hair. Nancy giggled again, despite her own nakedness and fear.
"Now, Linda," Tommy said, stepping closer, “I think it’s only fair you let Michael—or is that
Michelle—borrow your panties too. It would be indecent to leave him completely naked, wouldn't it? We have to maintain some decorum here.”
Linda blushed so deeply that Tommy could see the color spreading down her neck and chest. She hooked her thumbs in the waistband of her satin underwear and pushed them down, exposing her blonde bush. She stepped out of them quickly and, in hopes of distracting attention from herself, she knelt before Michael and quickly slipped the panties up his legs. He stood rigid, staring straight ahead as she pulled them into place.
Michael already made for a rather ridiculous sight, thanks to the conspicuous bulge in the satin panties. The sight became even more absurd when Tommy produced a pair of false breast pads and proceeded to stuff them into the bra.
"Well, Michelle," Tommy mused, stepping back to admire his work, his head tilted to one side. “I must say, you look much prettier than
I did when they tried to dress
me up. I didn’t get a bra and panty set, and I certainly didn’t have any tits. Lucky you. You are being treated like a princess."
Michael said nothing. He just stared at the floor in mortified silence.
Tommy glanced at Nick and smirked. “Hey, maybe we should have our own private show. How would you like our happy guests to provide us with some entertainment? I think they owe us a performance, don’t you?”
Nick’s face lit up, his eyes wide and eager. “Sounds great!” He glanced at the apprehensive group, then back at Tommy, anxious to see what he had in mind.
Tommy remembered how humiliated he had felt when he’d been forced to stand naked on Sister Ruth’s desk and sing. He could still remember the laughter that filled the classroom as he painfully struggled through the song.
"Linda and Nancy," he called out. "Why don’t you two hop up on the table and sing a song for Nicky and me. We'll have a little concert.”
The two girls, still trying in vain to shield themselves, groaned in unison. Reluctantly, they climbed onto the table.
“Oh, yes,” Tommy said, settling on the edge of the table next to Nick. “Arms around each other’s shoulders. One hand on your hip. No more covering up. You’re performers now. You’re stars. And the song of the day is ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun.’ You know the words.”
Tommy and Nick waited expectantly while Michael and Danny stood off to the side, Danny still covering himself with both hands and Michael with his arms crossed over his padded chest. Both looked grateful to be spectators rather than performers, though Tommy knew that relief would be short-lived.
Linda and Nancy put their arms around each other's shoulders. Their bodies pressed together, skin against skin, both red-faced and trembling. They began to sing in shaky, off-key voices.
♬
I come home in the morning light... my mother says when you gonna live your life right... oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones... and girls, they wanna have fun... ♬
Tommy and Nick burst into laughter, clapping along and slapping their thighs. When the girls finished, the two boys rose for a mock standing ovation, whistling and stomping their feet before exchanging a loud high-five that echoed through the cafeteria.
Tommy wasn't done yet. He sat back down and pointed at the bra and panty-clad boy.
“Michelle," he said, "you’re dressed for the part. Get up there between Linda and Nancy. And let’s see some dancing with the singing this time. Really sell it. Give us a show."
Michael looked like he wanted to die. "Please," he whispered. Yet he obeyed, climbing reluctantly onto the table to take his place between the two naked girls. All three stood lined up, their faces flushed the same deep shade of crimson.
Tommy turned his attention to the hairless boy. “Danny, my bad. I didn’t mean to leave you out. Please forgive me. Why don’t you climb up next to Linda and see what you can add to the show. And please stop hiding your little hairless weenie. It’s part of the act.”
Resigned, Danny climbed onto the table, letting his hands fall to his sides in surrender. He stood next to Linda, completely hairless and exposed.
The off-key chorus struck up once more. Four very naked or nearly naked students swayed together and sang, their voices trembling and inharmonious, while Nick gleefully recorded the whole scene on his phone.
Nick leaned over. "This is unreal," Nick whispered to Tommy. "I can't believe we are seeing this."
♬
Oh girls just wanna have fun... that's all they really want... some fun..." ♬
They shuffled their feet, trying to dance, their bodies moving with awkward, jerky motions. Tommy and Nick were practically breathless with laughter. It was a complete spectacle: two naked girls dancing to the beat of their own voices, their breasts jiggling seductively as they did so, and Michael reluctantly prancing in stuffed black satin lingerie.
Danny also contributed immensely to the hilarity, as his penis and balls had shriveled up due to his intense humiliation, and with his now hairless body he looked like a ten-year-old boy. It wasn’t lost on Tommy that this was probably how he had looked when he was forced to stand on the desk sing. He smiled at the fitting comeuppance he had orchestrated.
When the impromptu concert ended, Tommy clapped. “Bravo! Okay, take a bow and climb down. You were all fabulous.” As they were climbing down, Tommy continued. “Consider it your lucky day. I’m going to let you off easy. I could make you remain naked—in your case, Michelle, in your bra and panties—for the rest of the period, which still has twenty minutes to go. But instead, we’re going to give everyone here a parting gift.”
The four of them looked at Tommy anxiously, fearing his next words.
“When I restart time," he continued, "the four of you are going to take a little walk. You are going to parade through the cafeteria. Hands behind your heads. No covering up. Slow and steady. I know it’s a big room, but hey, it should be over in about three or four minutes. And don't rush, or I’ll just rewind and make you start again. I want you to see every face, every person who will see you like this forever. Maybe you will think about that next time you consider humiliating someone."
The four victims had a look of terror in their red faces. They had hoped to escape a public display, but now it was apparent they would be performing a naked march for all to see.
“Any volunteers to lead the parade?” Tommy asked.
Silence answered him. The four of them stood frozen, their eyes darting between one another, each hoping someone else might speak up, might offer themselves up first. None of them did.
Tommy grinned, savoring the moment. "Linda, you go first. I think your lovely naked body should be right at the forefront." He turned to Danny, who still kept one hand pressed against his groin. "Danny, you'll be second. Everyone loves a good laugh, and that hairless little package of yours is going to get quite the reception." He pivoted toward Michael, who stood with his arms crossed over his stuffed bra. "Michelle, you and your pretty bra and panty set can go third. Maybe you can shake your hips from side to side as you walk. Give the crowd a little show. In fact, that goes for all of you. And you'd better be good. Make it convincing." He finally fixed his gaze on Nancy, who stood cowering in dread, staring at the linoleum floor. "Nancy, you can pull up the rear. The last thing everyone will see will be your sweet ass sashaying out the door."
"Please, Tommy," Nancy implored, her voice cracking. She was pretty sure her pleas would go unanswered, but she made a desperate attempt anyway. "Please, can't we just... can't we just... we'll do anything else. Anything you want. Just don't.... please."
"Anything I want?" Tommy echoed, tilting his head to one side as if considering it. "But
this is what I want. This is
exactly what I want. Now all of you line up on the other side of the room. I’d like you to spread out about ten feet apart.”
The four wretched students made their way across the room, their steps heavy with dread.
"Okay, boys and girls," Tommy called out, clapping his hands together for emphasis. "Hands behind your heads! Lace those fingers together. Good posture. Shoulders back. You're on display now. Just remember, all eyes will be on you. Every single person in this cafeteria is going to see exactly what you are. Don't disappoint them. Here we go." He paused, letting the anticipation stretch. "One... two... three!"
Time resumed.
The effect was immediate and devastating. The frozen cafeteria burst into motion, the students turning toward the commotion at the far end of the room. Then the noise began, a wave of sound that descended upon the four performers from every direction.
Linda began her slow, agonizing walk. Her cheeks were redder than her nipples. She moved steadily, her hips swaying per Tommy's instructions, each step carrying her further into the nightmare. She kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, refusing to look at the faces that turned toward her, the mouths that fell open, the hands that pointed.
Danny followed, arms raised, his hands locked behind his head, his now-hairless groin exposed for all to see. He heard the laughter, heard the gasps and the whoops and the cruel catcalls.
Then came Michael, still in his bra and panties, shuffling along in shame. The false breasts bounced with each step, drawing hoots of laughter from the boys at the nearest table. Someone threw a french fry that bounced off his shoulder, and Michael flinched but kept moving, staring fixedly at the exit sign.
Biting her lip, Nancy brought up the rear, her bare body on full display. She could feel every eye on her, and it felt like hands touching her skin. She wanted to run, but Tommy's warning echoed in her ears. Don't rush. She forced herself to maintain the slow, swaying pace, her hips moving seductively.
"Look at them!" someone shouted from the left.
"Oh my God, is that Michael? In a bra?"
"Check out the guy with the little dick!" shouted a girl.
"And no hair!" shouted another. "He looks like he's ten!"
"That's Linda Morrison! I thought she was a prude!"
The comments followed them throughout. Laughter, catcalls, gasps, and whistles filled the room. The stunned crowd couldn’t believe what they were seeing: a naked parade marching through the heart of the sixth-period study hall, four students stripped of every dignity, exposed for the entertainment of their peers.
By the halfway point, the noise had reached deafening levels. Students were standing on tables to get a better view, pulling out phones to capture the spectacle. It was everything the poor victims would have expected from the enthralled witnesses of their most extraordinary display, and more. The four performers tried to focus straight ahead, tried to maintain some fragment of composure, but their beet-red faces gave away their humiliation.
"Keep it up," Tommy called out from behind them, his voice cutting through the din. "No covering up. You're doing great."
Finally, after a full three and a half minutes, Nancy exited the room to a crescendo of hoots and cheers. The door swung shut behind her, and for a moment there was silence in the hallway, the four of them standing as a group, shaking and gasping.
Then reality crashed down. The last sight was the four of them covering their privates with desperate hands and scrambling frantically toward their respective locker rooms in search of clothing and dignity.
The buzz in the cafeteria didn’t die down for the rest of the period. That day’s sixth period study hall would be the talk of the school for many moons.
Tommy leaned back in his chair, utterly satisfied. "
How am I going to top this?" he thought to himself.
Somehow, he knew he would find a way.
