'WellTim Tim Timmy. I bet you are pretty proud of yourself.' Sapphire said as she draped her arm around the youthful fur beside her powerful and imposing mare form standing a good five hands taller than the young Jaguar beside her whose head barely came up to her shoulder as her arm casually rested on his.

Not surprising really given the young man almost literally dwarfed by the lustrously blue horse was still awaiting the growth spurt his sister had gleefully accepted on the eve of her eighteenth birthday; a milestone he was still a couple of years away from himself. Sporting the same black hair that usually only occurred in the ladies of his family that only the closeness he felt to his mother and sister, making up for the fact that he was a white tiger where they were the more traditional orange.

'Ummyeah..a bit.' Timmy laughed with both a toothy grin and the same genuine shyness that had marked him as genuinely sweet the second he had been introduced at the start of the show. Never one to enjoy being put on the spot, the fact that he had somehow wrangled a spot on his favourite show on tv had added strong dose of star struck awe that only compounded his natural shyness. Secretly he had often had fantasies about ending up right where he was, he had just never imagined it would become a reality. How often did one's fantasies become a reality. Like many a young man entering puberty, his mind was filled with a growing number of fantasies. Alongside the usual ones about various crushes of his featured a good number that revolved around this very show, alternating between either himself being placed in the very machines and devices that captured his imagination or more frequently other people in fantasies that mirrored the episode he had last seen. If that episode had involved a parent, more often than not his mother would be the one suffering the forfeits. If the one on the receiving end of the games was a sibling, his sister would take that place. If it was someone absent a familial relationship, that spot would be filled by his teacher; Ms Hogan a familiar visitor to his fantasies in general. And to think that he had now lived out all three of those fantasies boggled his mind. In his mind this day couldn't get any better. He was about to find out how wrong he was.

'Although maybe your mother and sister aren't quite feeling the same thing, hmmm?' Sapphire continued with a grin of her own. Sapphire wouldn't have been surprised if they saved some of that ire for her, given how she had guided Timmy towards winning some games he might not have done, advice that had left them messier than if she had simply stood on the sidelines.

'Wellmaybe not.' Timmy admitted with a sudden bout of trepidation that didn't just come from where he was. Even if that feeling was somewhat justified. Despite knowing it was just a set didn't really help with the intimidating design that had scared him and intrigued him in equal measure the first time he had seen it. A first time that had him hiding behind the sofa with only the top of his head peaking out above the cushions. The walls of black stone slabs that were no less imposing even though he knew they were fake were just the start, those crude rough bricks holding both the impressive metal edged and studded door held shut with a rusted iron lock, and the brightly polished chains hanging from the ceiling and walls aided in no small way to that feeling, before you even got to the cages, stocks, pillories and other items of torture that fully cemented the dungeonesque atmosphere.

'Maybe not indeed.' Sapphire continued to Timmy's increased chagrin. 'Still, he has done very well. We've rarely had a contestant walk away with so many prizes. Of course, we aren't done yet. And Timmy still has the chance to walk away with our Grand Prize, which this week is an all expenses paid two week trip to Global Studios Resort for three people. Timmy, if you win you are taking your mother and sister, right?'

'I..think I'd almost have too.' Timmy chuckled as he finally dared to glance over at where the aforementioned members of his family sat upon two ornate thrones placed at the rear of the set upon the raised dais area, where they both were still wiping chocolate mousse out of their coats and hair with some little success, the sweet dessert left there from the encounter with the contraption from the last game he pretended he hadn't very much enjoyed watching.

In fact, he was surprised they had actually joined him here given what he had done to them to get where he was now. Almost as surprised as he had been that they agreed to come on the show with him, since they knew what happened to those who accompanied the one who came along to play the very games that had netted him his prizes. Although maybe they hadn't fully appreciated how much it would happen to them.

Still..he couldn't deny that despite all that they did seem remarkably and genuinely not the slightest bit upset. Although that could be because of where he stood now, his bare feet inches from the edge of the wide and deep cauldron shaped vat filled with a thick, vibrant and glistening orange Gunge over which the extended platform he stood on reached out over. A vat filled with lots of it too, the whole thing easily ten feet wide and just over half as deep. Not that Timmy hadn't known about this in advance. He just hadn't imagined he would do well enough to make it to this point, so it hadn't been much of a risk. How wrong he had been.


'And that is the right answer.' Sapphire nodded, answering the question he had almost forgotten about during the time he was lost in his thoughts. 'This was all a bit of a surprise, wasn't it. Well..we have another for you. One that could almost be a prize in its own right.'

'Oh yes?' Timmy asked that question with the obvious hesitation of someone wondered if he was going to enjoy this surprise. After all, he'd gotten away with quite a bit today and couldn't help also wondering if the tables were about to turned on him. Of course, he knew he ran the risk of that here anyway. But he was suddenly worried he had been set up somehow. As it turned out, he wasn't the only one to need to worry about that.

'Oh yes.' Sapphire echoed as she turned to face a section of wall almost directly opposite the pit that Timmy stood before and that looked no different from any of the others, until the hidden mechanism behind it whirred silently to life and the wall separated and pulled back to allow the entrance of first a goodly amount of rolling white smoke and then following behind that a trio of figures that Timmy instantly recognised, his cheeks suddenly hot and his palms sweaty.

The poor lad had no idea where to look first, his eyes dancing from those figures to the well crafted and smoothly polished stocks that all three of them sat behind, the one long plank of wood resting over the three pairs of bare feet that sat under but weren't locked into. In the end though it was the figures that his disbelieving eyes returned too.

'The UltraVixens, ladies and gentlemen.' That introductions was almost utterly superfluous. Everyone who was even slightly in with the pop culture scene knew the new girl group that had been storming the music charts for the past six months with no signs of letting up on that trend. And Timmy was no exception.

It wasn't uncommon for music groups to adopt a generic species as part of their stage name despite not even having one member who belonged to that species. Take Koi Zone for example. Or the Bat Street Boys. Or Nightfish. Yet the UltraVixens were unique in that not one but all three members of the group actually were Vixens, all sporting various shades of red hues and tones in their fur. From the trio Paige stood out the most, her deep brown fur setting her apart from the rusty red hues of her companions. Unlike when they appeared on stage, all three wore the same outfit that matched the one his mother and sister had worn during the show; that of a T-shirts in the same bright blue with the the name and logo of the show emblazoned on the chest, ones that hung down low enough to obscure the matching bikini bottoms they wore that wouldn't have been visible behind the barrier of the stocks anyway.

''Now, that's a surprise. Am I right?' Sapphire asked with a wink at Timmy that only he saw, the slight turn of her head hiding it from the cameras. 'Normally it would be his mother and sister sitting above the Gunge if this was a normal show. Since it's Halloween, we have a little treat for Jimmy. If he wins this last game, he will dunking his three idols in our disgusting slop instead. Ladies, how do you feel about that?'

Not very keen seemed to be the answer given the playful thumbs down and shakes of the head the three vixens gave Sapphire. Something that was likely just them playing up for the cameras. Had they really not been okay with it, they likely wouldn't be here now, seated where they were. Even if maybe it had seemed a better idea when they weren't so close to the Gunk.

Timmy himself was, privately at least, very keen on the whole idea. Somewhat of a betrayal of the three idols that he wellidolised it might have been, he couldn't deny he had imagined something similar to this moment. As a pure fantasy though. Something he had never imagined happening. And yet here he stood.

Unaware of his somewhat conflicting thoughts Sapphire continued with a wink at him that only he saw. 'Butas I saidit's Halloween. And where there are Treats, there are also Tricks.'

'Oh yes.' Paige said for both herself as the other two seated on either side of her; who seemed no more reassured by what she just heard than she had. And with good reason perhaps, given everything they had seen so far.

'Oh yes.' That answer came not from Sapphire but the face that suddenly appeared on projected onto the back of the set, the somewhat grainy image not hiding the smug smirk on the face of the chipmunk that graced it. One that Timmy and likely every Ultra Vixens fan recognised as their agent, Klia; almost a fourth member of the group given how closely she worked with them and interacted with their fans. Peppy and smiley by nature that only added to the cuteness graced to her by her rounded cheeks, Klia had a peppy youthful energy that won her plenty of fans of her own. 'Bet you didn't know I was coming, did ya? But here I am. And a bet is a bet right?'

'Care to explain that one for us?' Sapphire knew exactly what that meant. Which didn't mean she couldn't have a little fun pretending she didn't.

'I bet my budding starlets here here that they couldn't watch a scary movie of my choice without getting at least one jump scare. They seemed to think they could. Only they couldn't. And the wager was they would go naked for a tv appearance of my choice.'

'Yeahwellwe didn't think you would pick this one.' Harmony pouted

'Well.I did.' Klia shrugged. 'I think you will enjoy that orange slop much more without any clothes. Laters skaters.'

'Wellwe are Vixens of our word.' Tamara offered up a exaggerated resigned sigh that turned into a coy smile. 'Hey, Timmy..enjoy the show.'

Timmy honestly had no idea what to make of that. Yes, he should look away. Or cover his eyes. Orsomething. That would be the gentlemanly thing to do. Of course it would. And yethe would kick himself if he let this moment slip away. After all..she had said he could watch.

It was worth noting that during this conflicted internal monologue Timmy hadn't once averted his eyes from his three celebrity crushes, drinking in every moment as one by one they began to undress before his eyes. Eyes that moved from left to right slowly, almost as if mesmerised; his gaze unbroken as each one pulled her shirt off in turn. And while he watched each one in turn as well, swallowing bashfully as the tight fabric was discarded. Timmy was almost relieved in a way to see the equally tight yellow bikini top each of them wore underneath, the heat in his body already reaching a fever pitch. Had they instantly gone topless he wasn't sure he could have taken it. Still he couldn't stop his eyes lingering on the sensually revealed bikini clad breasts that greeted him daily from the posters on his bedroom walls yet had never imagined he would ever see in person, that gaze lingering on Harmony as she and her band mates leaned forward softly, paws disappearing behind the wooden stocks. Jimmy had assumed that like his sister and mother the three vixens had each been wearing a pair of the shorts that matched the T-shirts that lay discarded somewhere around them. So you could imagine how hot under the collar he felt when he saw all three of them toss away the string bikini bottoms the hands that moved out of sight had worked on untying.


Timmy swallowed hard as those same hands showed no hesitation in doing the same to the bikini tops that were the last vestige of modesty and of the clothing they had once worn to complete the reveal of the three curvy, lithe and fluffy bodies that were now on display with a lack of self-consciousness he knew he couldn't match. With a nervous blink Timmy risked a glance at the huge tank of Gunge below him he was now viewing with fresh eyes. It had been surprise enough for him to wrap his head around to think that he would get to fulfil his long held fantasy. The thought that he would not just be dunking them, but dunking them naked was almost too much to take in, and made him very glad that he wasn't naked; his body betraying him with a reaction he was glad his clothes concealed.

Although not as much as he might have hoped. Even given how close she stood, Sapphire could have been forgiven for missing that reaction if she had relied upon eyesight alone. Yet her very nature as a goddess of pleasure meant she was very attuned to such feelings and emotions. Still she kept her reactions to herself so as not to embarrass the young man she had taken under her wing.

Sapphire paused here to pull a small scroll out from inside her robes, one sealed with a red wax seal. 'As I'm sure our regular viewers know, our final game is very simple. I have here a collection of general knowledge questions. Simply by answering five of them correctly Jimmy will not just lock the trapdoor ready to plunge him into the gunk but also activate the mechanism that will dunk Paige, Tamara and Harmony in his place. As they also know, these questions are often very fiendish. Howeverit's Halloween..and we have one trick left.'

Sapphire left that hanging as she unceremoniously chucked the still sealed scroll into the dunk tank letting it vanish with a soft gloop, not missing the now nervous glance the three Vixens shared. That could soon be them and they knew it.

'Thank you, Mellissa.' Sapphire nodded to the robed and hooded white tigress who approached, the heavy black fabric hiding all traces of her species except for her tail that swished around her feet in time with the hem, those steps bringing her quickly close enough to pass over the small metal bound wooden chest she carried before beating a hasty retreat as if she too was afraid she might end up in the Gunge if she stayed around long enough. She wasn't of course, but that was another story. Pausing for a second for dramatic effect, Sapphire pulled out from that box another scroll, this one darker and less pristine than the first, almost as if it really had been locked away for a very very long time. 'Instead we have a collection of Halloween themed questions for our Halloween Super Fan here.'

Despite himself Timmy squirmed on the spot. This was a setup, he was sure. Although maybe not for him. Had it been questions on the UltraVixens, then he would have been sure they had been setup. But all of this could have been one huge trick on him, dangling this tempting prize before him only to hit him with questions he couldn't possibly answer. It wasn't like this show didn't have form for doing just that. He vividly remembered one episode last season with a younger brother playing against his sister where all the questions they asked him were on things she enjoyed talking about, topics that he always zoned out on. So it was no surprise he ended up in the gunk.

'Alright Timmy. You have one minute to give me five correct answers to these questions. Starting now. Who wrote the horror classic Frankenstein and what was the name of the monster Frankenstein created?'

Timmy knew a clock would have appeared on the screen but he got so such aid. He often wondered about that. Seems he was right. Luckily he didn't even have to think about the answer to this one. 'Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein, and the monster had no name.'

'Correct. That's one. Transylvania is a region in which country?

'Romania.' Timmy replied without a pause, feeling another squirm of mixed anticipation and guilt as the Vixens shared another nervous glance. Clearly he was doing too well for their liking.

'And two for two. Maybe we should get the showers ready.' Sapphire quipped. 'According to superstition, a person born on Halloween has what particular ability?'

'Ummmm.they can see ghosts?' Timmy was obviously less sure on this one, deciding not to waste time guessing.

'Close but not close enough. They can see and talk to spirits.' Sapphire corrected gently. With such a prize at stake she couldn't allow any wiggle room. 'Who directed The Nightmare before Christmas?'

'Tim..no..waitHenry Selick.' Timmy corrected just in time.

'I'll allow that. This once. I can't show any more favouritism from here on out.' Sapphire said with a waggle of her finger. 'Which Ghostbusters actor also co-wrote the screenplay for the movie?'

'Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.' Timmy said, having caught that trick question a mile away.

'Correct. You still need two more correct answers. What classic horror film features the quote, "They're coming to get you, Barbara"?'

'Psycho.' Timmy said quickly.

'Wrong. Night of the Living Dead. Which horror movie icon has the highest on-screen body count?'

'Jason Vorhees.' Timmy said with firm certainty.

'Correct. What costume does Lindsay Lohan's character wear to the Halloween party in the movie Mean Girls?'

'One of Dracula's sisters?' That was a complete guess and his tone showed it. So much so that he wasn't surprised to hear the answer.

'Wrong. 30 seconds left.' Sapphire said cheekily, leaving Timmy wondering if she had said that simply to remind him or as an attempt to make him nervous by realising he was almost out of time. Either way it had worked. Now for the first time Timmy actually entertained the possibility he might be the one to go for a dunking as he waited to hear what would one way or another be the last question.

'Pumpkins can be orange, white, green, or what other colour?'

'Ummmblue?' Timmy asked hesitantly. While yellow might have been a more obvious guess, some small flash of flash of recollection bubbled up in his head and on instinct he went with it.

'Blue?' Sapphire asked as the Vixen's leaned forwards either from eagerness or anxiety. Or both. Either way Timmy sure that they were hoping he was wrong. 'That iscorrect.'

'What? No.' Timmy had no idea which of the three Vixens had shouted that and right now it didn't really matter. Heart pounding and palms almost humblingly sweaty, Timmy allowed himself to be lead away from the edge of the tank and towards the ominous lever he hadn't dared to look at before now.

'Well..I thought you weren't going to make it there. But you did.' Sapphire said as she eased him right up to the lever almost as if she was placing him somewhere specific. Which she was, but he was too excited to notice that. 'Sogo on then. Pull that lever. You've earned it.'

Timmy nodded, but didn't move as he allowed himself one more look along the line of the naked and visibly nervous Vixens who themselves were darting their eyes between him and the Gunge below them. Which doubtless now looked like even more Gunge and they had nothing between them and it besides distance. Which wouldn't last long when he pulled the lever.

As he reached for it, Timmy noticed distractedly that the stocks had been removed from around their feet without his noticing, leaving nothing to stop them from plunging into the pool below the second he pulled the lever. Knowing exactly what to do from all the episodes he had seen, Timmy tugged the lever all the way to the right; a loud ratcheting sound filling his ears as the platform the three ladies sat on slid forward and out over the pit on a mechanism designed to dump them right in the middle. With grin both gleeful and slightly apologetic Timmy yanked it back the other way as hard as he could.

The three girls barely had time to stiffen in their seats before the whole platform lurched not just upwards so that it was completely vertical, which was more than enough to send them forward with a lurching start of their own. Unceremoniously thrown from the safety of their seats the only way to go was down towards the waiting Gunge pool which welcomed them with a huge orange splash that washed out to the side in a small wave. It was deeper than Timmy had imagined, the three Vixens utterly submerged for a good three seconds before they rose, coated in thick orange gunk from head to toe that somehow highlighted their nudity rather than hid it. There was no way that Timmy could tell them apart now so he indulged himself in enjoying the gloriously gooey sight before him with a shy and nervous chuckle.

'You enjoyed that, yes?' Sapphire said with a fresh twinkle in her eye. 'Although maybe it's not fair to let you go home clean since you've been Gunging the ladies all night. Don't you think?'

Timmy had no way of knowing that question wasn't directed at him but the still slightly messy watching figures of his mother and sister who now stood before another lever that had risen inside the tank they occupied. Too late Timmy realised what that meant, far too late to do anything as they both yanked it as gleefully as he had. Timmy didn't even have time to react as the floor beneath him gave way, dropping him into a smooth plastic tunnel that whisked him at a sharp angle into the very pit he had dropped his three crushes into. Darkness gave way to a sea of orange that rushed up to greet him before he landed with an almighty splat and splash that the three Vixens scrambled away from despite being utterly messy already. He couldn't see this of course as he too vanished beneath the still surface. Within a second and for twice that he was surrounded and floating in the warmed gunk only to rise as they had, dripping in goo that utterly drenched his clothing, fur and skin alike. Momentarily blinded he instinctively grasped the paws he felt close around both his hands, aided back to his feet by the pair of double handed grips and the supporting hands he felt under his arms. Blinking his eyes clear of the Gunge now dripping down his face he couldn't help blushing as he realised he was surrounded by all three of the UltraVixens, all of who were still gloriously coated in Gunge they hadn't bothered wiping away. Before he could even say anything by way of an apology they all moved forward to encircle him in a warm, slippery Gungy hug, all four messy bodies pressed together in a gesture that said no hard feelings were held better than words ever could. And it was in that hug they stayed as freshly warmed and still steaming yellow Gunge surrounded them in the sudden drop from above. Only Sapphire had known about this and she watched with gleeful intent the solid column of yellow that split, surged and splattered over the already truly gunked foursome in an amazing effect she knew Timmy would love to watch over and over again when she sent him the recording. Due to the closeness of the hug the tight column caught them all equally, surrounding the three girls and one boy on all sides and leaving very little trace of the orange gunk remaining under this new coating of bright custard yellow.

'I think he deserved that. And if you think you know someone who deserves a good Gunging, follow the link below to nominate someone for the next series of Payback Time. Stay safe out there and Happy Halloween.' Sapphire grinned one last time as the cameras focused on her for the final shot before the credits began to roll.

Post Credits scene - the shower scene

'You knowthis was kinda fun.' Harmony let that hover in the air like the clouds of steam from the white tiled shower she herself was hovering on the edge of while Paige and Tamara alike worked on washing the last traces of Gunge from their fur. 'I certainly had fun away. And we didn't even get any of our clothes ruined.'

'Well..I know someone who enjoyed it." Paige completed one last rinse of her hair and stepped out from under the warm water to let Harmony take her place, her arms resting on the low frosted wall that offered them some privacy while not cutting them off from the next cubical. A nice touch that the occupant of that cubical couldn't deny he was enjoying either. 'You did enjoy that, didn't you Timmy?'

'Well..maybe a little.' Timmy still said a little shyly as he ran his soapy paws over his chest. But still much less shy than he would have imagined he would have been. After you have been dunked into a pool of Gunge with three naked girls you've crushed on for years, it's impossible for the ice not to be broken a little. Certainly enough for him to not instantly turn his back as one of those crushes watches him showering leisurely with her head resting lazily on one paw, even with the less than subtle erection he was nursing from watching them tenderly bathing and cleaning each other. 'Okay..more than a little.'

'Oh..we noticed.' Paige chuckled as her eyes lingered on his erection for a second. 'So..come on..spill. Which one of us looked the best in orange?'

'Paige.' Tamara chided softly even as that rebuke became a delicate sigh as Harmony ran her paws over the small of her back. 'You can't ask him to choose that.'

'I could hardly tell which of you was which.' Timmy admitted with a slight blush. 'So I'd have to say you all did. Sorry if that's weird.'

'Who knew you were such a smooth talker.' Paige continued. 'And no, it's not. It's really kinda sweet actually.'

'Speaking of sweet, does your sister know you are sweet on her?' Harmony asked as she switched so Tamara could wash her back in return, her paws taking the odd moment to linger elsewhere. Mostly to tease Timmy a little. 'Does she know you'd like to do the same to her as well?'

'Well.' Timmy replied after a long pause. 'She knows I was okay with her getting gunged. She was too. Is too. Otherwise she wouldn't have come here.'

'Yes. But does she know that you like her? Not just as a sister. But really like her. And know the things you'd like to do with her?' Harmony pressed, having slipped into full big sister mode.

'Well..no.' Timmy shook his head. 'How could I tell her that? I know brothers and sisters cando that these days. Butshe is still my sister. She might think it's weird orwrongorI don't know.'

'I don't think so.' Harmony said with a reassuring smile. 'You didn't see how she looked at you when you got dumped in that pool with us. She wanted to be in there with you.'

'Ishe did? Really?' Timmy had no idea what to make of that. Or what to do with it.

'Really.' Harmony nodded. 'You should get gunged with her next time.'

'Like there will be a next time.' Timmy said with a shy grin, almost wishing they hadn't said that. Like he wasn't going to have enough trouble getting to sleep tonight as it was. 'I mean..'

'Timmy. Stop ogling them in there, you perv. And hurry up.'

'Sorry about her.' Timmy said as the other three shared a look that simply said 'see.' One that Timmy utterly missed as he turned his attention to cleaning the still lingering goo from his hair.

'Looks like we will have to make sure there is a next time.' Harmony whispered to herself, a plan already beginning to form in her mind. One she would have to hurry to get things in motion for. Still..it would all be worth it.
