" Breaking Them up is Hard to Do "

(M/ff nc mild)

.

Background:

Mary-Kate and Ashley do not want Kevin to date a woman, because they are afraid they might lose Carrie if dad ever decides on remarrying. So, upon the news that Kevin is asking out Marci-someone, Ashley comes up with a plan to mess things up. But Carrie, Kevin Marci accidentally end up in the same room in the same frame, and eventually the truth comes out.

 

DAD : So?

MARY-KATE : Er...

ASHLEY : You see, dad, we just wanted... well, we didn’t want you to start dating that woman.

DAD : It’s Marci: she has a name. And I understand that.

MARY-KATE : We were afraid we might lose you.

DAD : Oh, Mary-Kate. Ashley. That’d never, ever happen.

ASHLEY : I know, but...

DAD : But still you did this. I wonder why. I didn’t expect such a manipulation from you. (Rolls his eyes). On the other hand...

(Laughter.)

DAD : Girls, what you need to know is that I’m never leaving you. No matter how many girls I date, I’ll always be here for you.

ASHLEY : And Carrie?

DAD : She will be here as well, you know? How many families hire a baby-sitter even if they have both mother and father, huh?

MARY-KATE : Lots...

DAD : That’s right, lots. Now, I don’t mean I’m going to marry this Marci. Well, I can almost assure you that I won’t. But still you don’t have to worry even if I did. I’ll always be here. Always.

(The three of them hug.)

DAD : Now to the mushy part. I’m sorry, but I still have to do this, you know?

(Both girls nod.)

DAD : You deserve punishment even if you understand what you did was wrong. Come, Mary-Kate, you’re first. A warm bottom will help the two of you to remember my words.

Dad gently takes hold Mary-Kate’s arm and drapes her across his knees. The girl is visibly afraid but isn’t crying: she’s obviously resolute and willing to take this without whimpering. Dad then grabs the hem of her pants and pulls them down to her knees, all the while Ashley is sitting aside him and just can’t avoid watching.

SPANK! CRACK! WHACK!

MARY-KATE : Ouch! Oww...

Despite her best intentions, Mary-Kate feels a fiery sting burning in her backside. After the tenth whack on the seat of her white cotton panties there is a tear in the corner of her eye.

CRACK! WHACK! WHAP! SLAP!

More and more they rain down on her upturned rump, until the twelve-year-old is crying in earnest, wailing her excuses and begging her dad to stop. Kevin eventually does, and helps her youngest twin off his lap.

MARY-KATE : Daddy...

DAD : It’s okay, honey. It’s all done now. Go face the wall now.

Aside them, also Ashley is almost crying from witnessing her twin sister’s punishment.

DAD : Your turn, Ashley.

Without a word, the little girl drapes herself on her father’s knees, but before doing so she lowers her own pyjama bottoms. We notice that contrarily to Mary-Kate she has no underwear on. Upon seeing her bare buttocks facing him, Kevin is taken aback.

DAD : Ashley, what does this mean? I didn’t spank your sister on the bare bottom.

ASHLEY : It’s, like... it was my fault, mostly. I convinced her to do this. I think I deserve a spanking more than she does.

DAD : When you two do something wrong I punish you the same way, no matter what.

ASHLEY : Please, dad.

(Ashley turns around to face him.)

ASHLEY : Spank me like this, I deserve it.

Kevin just nods, although he looks very surprised indeed. But it’s a pleasant surprise, and he smiles; and as he raises his hand to start the spanking Ashley turns her face away and gets a grip on her bed sheets.

SPANK! WHACK! SLAP! WHAP! SPANK!

ASHLEY : Ahii...

Kevin spanks fairly hard, as hard as he spanked MK, and the difference in clothing is obvious… also to Mary-Kate, who is delaying her father’s order to stand in the corner to watch her courageous sister get her just desserts.

SPANK! WHACK! SPANK! SPANK!

While Ashley’s upper half rests on the bedspread, her legs dangle over the edge, the left thigh resting on Kevin’s right and the right leg almost touching the floor. Without deliberately wanting to, when Kevin aims to spank Ashley’s thighs he eventually finds himself spanking also their insides, making the whole thing harder for the little girl.

We can not know exactly, but it’s likely Ashley is doing this on purpose.

WHACK! WHACK! SPANK! SLAP!

Finally the spanking ends, and a thoroughly punished Ashley Burke is raised from her father’s tight grip, she too crying loudly.

DAD : It’s okay, sweetheart. I’m proud of you. Go, reach your sister…

(He looks at Mary-Kate, who is still watching and not yet facing the wall).

DAD : … who should already be in the corner, shouldn’t she?

(Laughter.)

MARY-KATE : Oops…

DAD : Yeah, "oops". And thank god I don’t re-spank you for that. Goodnight, babies. You both took it very well.

(Exit Kevin, leaving two sorry and red-bottomed twelve-year-old twins).

MARY-KATE : Why did you do it?

ASHLEY : It’s always been my fault, I told you.

MARY-KATE (whispered): Thank you.

Ashley doesn’t respond, but a faint smile appears across her face.

 

FADE TO BLACK.

 

END.

 

 

Too short? Well, it is. This episode re-write could be done a lot better, for there were many other under-themes to be developed, such as Ashley’s faked illness, Mary-Kate’s attempts to tease her sister and to boss her around, and most of all one of the show’s best lines. Ashley says: "I got a plan!", and Mary-Kate responds: "How long would the punishment be?". Ashley thinks for a moment and says: "Six months to a year", so Mary-Kate replies: "Keep thinking".

I thought it was great, and of course it made me think of different dialogues. ASH: "I got a plan!". MK: "How long would the punishment be?". ASH: "Er... Half a hour". MK: "Sounds good!". ASH: "Across dad’s knees". MK: "Keep thinking". Doesn’t it sound better? A whole story could be written about this, but I just don’t have the time to complete such a task, so if anyone wants to take on it, please do: I can’t wait to read it if someone does.
