Amber had just found out where her last class was being held, and was now walking along the second floor with another cheerleader in tow. Ashley was a sweet girl who got tons of attention. She stood a little short at 5'6, but had large breasts, blonde hair a few shades lighter than Amber's, and brown eyes. She also happened to be in Buffy's sorority. The two of them loved walking around campus after practice, while guys stared at their wonderful bodies in workout clothes. "So Amber, how does it feel to be captain?

"So great! Everyone is being real helpful; even those who wanted to be captain

"Well, you were obviously the best choice. No one voted against you. Kind of strange, but you totally deserve it.

"Thanks," Amber spied a waterfountain, "hang on, I need a drink

"Okay, I'll just go make sure I'm cute so the boys will like me." Ashley turned to a nearby restroom and went inside.

Alex was coming up on the second floor now. (Where did all my cheerleaders go? Crud, they must have used this as a short cut!) Alex had to admit that while he had searched, the girls he sought must have left through a different entrance on their way to somewhere. Maybe if he went back down he could still catch them...

He heard a noise and peered around the corner. Amber had just finished getting a drink and was now going into a bathroom. (Well, one slave is better than none) Alex was a little disappointed, as he had really wanted to try out his new toy. It would have been great, especially for a group of girls. It would work fine on one, but he wanted to see it's abilities on a fresh mind, and Amber's resistance was weakened slightly from all the time she had spent entranced. Alex followed her anyway (Might as well have some fun while I can

Ashley had just finished messing with her hair when her watch somehow became loose and fell off, sliding into one of the stalls. She went inside to pick it up, and the door swung most of the way shut. She heard the door open twice, then voices, only one she recognized. "Alex! What are you doing in the girl's room?!

"Sorry, just wanted to say hi. Besides, no one's around to see me here.

"That's not the point! You just can't walk into places like this, it's...not....smart and peo...ple...

Ashley heard Amber's odd change in speech and looked through the small space of the open door. A guy, Alex she assumed, was swinging a pendant in front of Amber's face. She couldn't see Amber's face, only the back of her head because of the angle she was at. Alex seemed to enjoy this. "Is there anything wrong, Amber?

"No, everything...is fine...that's a nice...

"Yes, it is. I know I shouldn't bother you right now dear, but you seem so tired. Cheerleading must be hard work.

Amber nodded, "Yes...hard work...

"And you are very tired, you must have a hard time staying awake right now

"Hard to...stay awake...

Ashley knew something was very wrong. Not wanting to reveal herself, she watched intently. She'd find someone to help as soon as she could, but she wanted to try to understand what was happening. Why had Amber started agreeing with everything this guy had said? And five minutes ago she was talking about how wired she was. She couldn't possibly be tired now! Ashley stared, and whenever the pendant swung past Amber's head, she was able to see it. Ashley could only see the edges of it's swing, but it seemed to shine brightly.

"Now Amber," he said, "you are getting very sleepy, and your tired eyes are becoming hard to keep open

"Sleepy..." Amber agreed

"Yes, watching the crystal is tiring but so relaxing that it's worth it. Just keep following along

Ashley found herself concentrating on the crystal, trying to get a good look at it. Light flashed into her eyes. Looking at it made her feel good, so good, and see could still hear the guy speaking in a soothing tone "You are getting sleepy. Feel your entire body slowly drift into slumber. You want to sleep as you watch the crystal back and forth, back and forth, don't worry about anything because as long as you watch, everything is fine. There is nothing to worry about, just let yourself go into a deep sleep, Amber. You want to go into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Amber's blue eyes were almost shut. She had been surprised by Alex and was quickly falling into another trance. She felt everything below her neck put to sleep and could only wait for the bliss to overtake her once more.

Not as much light had shined into Ashley's eyes, but enough had. She too listened to Alex and found herself going tired. She couldn't look at anything when the crystal was in sight. (What's happening to me?) She thought. She couldn't think much, Alex's voice kept invading her mind when she tried to sort things through. "Good girl, just let your mind wander. Enjoy this. You know you deserve it. You feel sleepy..." Ashley's brown eyes began to get heavy, she had a hard time keeping them open. (He's doing...something...what is...is this wrong?) She couldn't remember why she had started watching in the first place. Something had been wrong, perhaps, but now Ashley felt so wonderfully relaxed that it didn't seem important. "You need to sleep so desperately that you'll do anything to sleep. Anything, won't you blondie?

"Yes..." whispered Amber

"Yes..." whispered Ashley

"That's very good, because sleep has overtaken you." Both girls went deeper, Amber's eyes almost completely shut while Ashley's remained half-open. "Listen. When I count backwards, you will fall into a deep sleep Amber. Three, two, one, zero and slllleeeeeeeepppppppppp..." Amber's head nodded forward as she shut her eyes and slept. "Good girl it feels so nice to sleep, you love being hypnotized don't you?

"Yes..." Amber had no choice but to agree.

Ashley was only half-asleep, but desperately wanted to fall totally asleep. Alex was now just holding the crystal in front of Amber's face and Ashley stared, feeling better and more tired at the same time with every second.

Alex stood satisfied that his cheerleading slave was under his command. "That's right, just relax. Let yourself go as deeply as you can, Amber. It's so stressful to be a cheerleader that you need my special breaks. I want you to remain asleep, but open your eyes; let me see your beautiful blue eyes.

Amber opened her eyes, the dreamy expression on her face practically screaming "I'll do anything you want me to"

"Good girl, you feel so much better don't you?

"Yes...

For a second Alex thought he heard two voices, but dismissed it. "Now, I want every cheerleader who feels wonderful to give me the most passionate kiss that she has ever experienced. Then we'll have some real fun.

Amber's arms wrapped around him as she gave him a long, passionate kiss. Alex enjoyed this so much that he didn't notice a stall opening. As Amber finally pulled back, Alex registered an odd feeling of hands on his side. He turned straight into another kiss, the girl grinding up against him as she passionately made out with him. Alex finally broke it off. "What in the hell are you doing? Who are..." his complaining stopped when he finally noticed the girl. "Hello, sexy." The words escaped him before he could think about them. Before him stood a blonde goddess. Long, light blonde hair, with soft brown eyes, and a killer body in low riding jeans with what might have been the biggest rack he had ever seen straining against her sweater. That's when he realized this girl had no idea what was going on. (NO! I've been caught!) "See, we were just rehearsing, for a play...right, and Amber's my friend and..." That's when he noticed two things. First, the girl had just planted one hell of a kiss on him (just like I asked Amber to) and second, her soft brown eyes were not looking at him, but at his hand where the crystal was. The CRYSTAL!

Alex held it up and the girl's entire head moved up, keeping it dead center of her vision. Alex swung from side to side and the blonde swayed, again keeping the hypnotic trinket in her sights. (All right, that's pretty convincing. But did I really put her under without even trying?)

"Can you hear me?

"Yes I can...hear you..." the girl was tired and refused to look away.

"What's your name?

"Ashley...

"Ashley, how do you feel?

"Nice, and...relaxed...what, d...did you...do to...me?

"No questions, just watch the pendant." Alex started swinging it again, and the girl swayed in time. Light pulsed into her eyes as she fell even closer to slumber. She looked familiar, but he couldn't place her. "Great, what am I going to do with her?" (Well, besides the obvious answers.) Alex turned and looked at Amber, still locked away in her dream trance. She had made no moves during any of it, content to float blissfully unaware. "Amber, I don't suppose you know her, do you?

"Of course...master," Amber responded. "Ashley is...a...cheer...leader and...

"Did you just say cheerleader?!" Alex looked again at the hottie being hypnotized in front of him. That's why she looked familiar; he remembered her from the cheerleading video Amber had made for him! He just might get a nice cheerleader on this safari after all. "Anything else important I should know?

"May...be...she is...in...Buffy's...sorority...

(Okay, let's review. Extremely rich, drop dread gorgeous, a cheerleader, and almost totally under my control. Two words: trophy wife!) Alex could see the vast range of advantages to having Ashley join his growing stable of women. He looked at her. Ashley was still following the crystal and hadn't said a word, although she didn't quite seem to be totally under. "Ashley, how do you feel?

"Pleasant and...nice what are...you doing to...Amber?

"What do you mean?

"I saw you...show that...nice...pretty...cry...stal...to Amber...she start...ed...to act kind...of funny...

Alex smiled. She must have seen Amber being hypnotized and tried to figure it out. She had been looking at the crystal, and was now being hypnotized without even realizing it. "Do you want me to tell you?

"Yes.

"Okay, just keep staring at the crystal. If you do, you will understand everything.

"N, no the...crystal...is bad...have to...look...away..." Ashley shook her head.

"Why is it bad?

"It did...some...thing...to Amber...I can't...figure it out...hard to...think...

"But you just said that it was wonderful and pleasant. How can it be bad?

"I, I don't...know...but...

"You just need to stop thinking." Alex raised his hand and held the pendant directly over her head. The blonde was helpless and had to follow it, leaning her head all the way back. The crystal had a light between it and her, and an incredible amount of light shinned into Ashley's eyes. "That position can't be too comfortable.

"No..." Ashley wasn't comfortable, but she had to stare straight up, the crystal shone beautifully in the light and made it worth the discomfort.

"And it was so relaxing that it must be downright tiring to do this. Even now, you eyes are getting heavier. Sleep is quickly overtaking you; it's slowly inching up your body.

Ashley sighed without meaning to. Her feet were already asleep and it was coming up. And she did feel very tired. Her eyes were so heavy, but she had to keep them open. Something about that crystal had affected Amber and she had to help her friend. Besides, it was so great to look at...

"Ashley, when the crystal touches your forehead you will be unable to keep your eyes open. They will shut and you shall fall into a deep sleep. But you can still see the crystal even with your eyes closed. It will be twice as soothing and beautiful to look at in your mind, and you really need to sleep, everything will be much better once you sleep.

"Every...thing...will be...better..." Ashley was more exhausted than she had ever felt before. She wanted to sleep badly. The crystal slowly floated down towards the entranced beauty. It was painfully slow, and made her even more tired just watching it. Just when she thought that it would never happen, the crystal lightly touched her. Ashley closed her eyes instantly and fell into a deep sleep. Her head slumped forward and her entire posture became much more relaxed.

Alex spoke again, "That's right my beauty, sleep deep. You have earned it; it's so hard being a good friend. Now, every time you feel the crystal touches you, you'll fall even deeper asleep. The same goes for you Amber." Alex trailed the crystal up the side of his other subject's face. Amber let out a deep sigh of content, and her blue eyes disappeared as she feel asleep once more. He let the crystal touch each girl's face several more times, until both girls were under his complete control, too sleepy to resist him. "Now Ashley, do you now know what's going on?

"No...

"I hypnotized both of you. I really was just hypnotizing Amber again, but since you saw some of it, you were entranced enough to respond to a general command. Now I have fully hypnotized you. Do you know what that means?

"Yes...

"What?

"I have...to do what...ever...you say...

Alex was amused. He could tell her that it took a lot of technique and work to make someone do what they wanted. Or he could use her misconception to his advantage. "Correct," he said as he brushed the crystal on her face again. Ashley sighed, and her head slumped even lower as she went deeper, "you must do whatever I tell you to from now on. You are my newest hypnotized slave. Your mind and body belong to me now.

"Mind and...body...belong...to you...

"From now on I want you to call me master like this

'Yes...master...

"Very good slave. Now, I have your mind. I want to see your body. Lose the sweater and show me your breasts. You can not resist me.

Ashley's hands reached down, and she pulled the sweater slowly up over her head. Alex got a great view of them as she wasn't wearing a bra. They bounced unrestrained as she loosely held her top in her left hand. (No trophy from her this time but you can't argue with the view) Alex reached over and fondled them. "You love my touch, don't you slave?

"Yes...master...love...your ...touch...

Alex decided to wrap it up, since he still wanted to scout more talent out. "Very good. Listen up Ashley. You'll get an important email soon so check often. And from now on whenever I say," Alex thought of her first impression of this new girl, "when I say 'cheerleading goddess' you are going to fall back into a deep trance again. You will always obey me whenever you are hypnotized.

"Yes...master...

"Now girls, in a second I'm going to wake you both up. You will remember nothing. But when you see me in the hall, Amber, you will have to introduce me. And when I tell you that I'm not going to the game, you will feel it is your personal duties to convince me with your sexy bodies. Do you understand?

"Yes...master..." both cheerleaders agreed to his terms.

"Very good.

The girls had just left the bathroom when they bumped into Alex. "Alex! Hi, how are you?" asked Amber.

"I'm fine. Who's your friend?

"This is Ashley. She's a cheerleader.

Ashley smiled. "Are you going to the game tonight?

Alex feigned thinking hard. "Oh, I don't know. I have so much reading to do.

Both girls suddenly realized it was their duty as cheerleaders to convince this fellow student to show his spirit for the college. Amber leaned into him while Ashley hung on his arm. Both girls began pleading with him. (I really love post-hypnotic suggestions.) Alex thought happily. (I wonder how far they'll go)
