Nemesis: Chapter 14

The cameras began rolling with Mia stood behind the witness stand and Georgia in the dock. Aiko did a short introduction before the camera cut to a pristine Sophie, standing by the dishevelled Emily, still in the stocks. "So, who will join Emily, in her messy fate?" asked Aiko as Sophie poured a large bucket of tomato soup over Emily's head. The camera zoomed in on Emily's face to catch the soup drip from her soaking brown locks. Sophie then completed Emily's humiliation by giving her one final chocolate pie to the face.

The cameras returned to face the stage. "Georgia, you stand guilty of gunging poor Mia in the shower, how do you plead?" boomed Aiko. "I'm afraid that I can't enter a plea judge", quipped Georgia. "For up until a moment ago, I didn't even know that I would be put on trial." The jury shot bemused glances at each other. "What do you mean?" asked a confused Aiko. "Well Mia didn't tell me that I would be put on trial when she invited me here today. Plus, this morning she refused to confirm what crime that I would be accused of", Georgia shot back with a glowing smile. "Mia is this true?" demanded the host. "I'm afraid so!" laughed Mia. "Well in that case, you must be punished, bring out two buckets of freezing cold water." Demanded Aiko. Georgia danced with glee. She sauntered over to Mia and slowly tipped the first bucket of water over her head. Mia shivered as the cool liquid hit her bare skin. Without warning, Georgia fired the second bucket directly at Mia's chest. Mia regretted choosing to colour code her outfit. Her blue bra, though matching her skirt, began to show through her transparent, damp white top.

Mia's attempt to get her revenge on Georgia hadn't started well. Aiko asked her why she should gunge Georgia. She hadn't wanted to go into too explicit detail about what happened, but after her false start decided that she needed to pull out all the stops to win. "I was having a shower at a friend's house when suddenly Georgia barged in and drew back the shower curtain. Standing in the nude, I was subjected to numerous pies and buckets of gunge. It was so humiliating." The jury looked shocked, surely, they were on Mia's side. Aiko then addressed Georgia, "How do you respond to these serious accusations?" Georgia briefly paused before addressing the jury. "It's true I did gunge Mia, but I was not the only one. Lavender and Jessica were there too and it was all Jessica's idea." Mia gasped, she didn't know that it all was Jessica's idea. But then again, perhaps Georgia was lying.

"But still, you didn't have to gunge me, you could have said no", Mia shot back. "But darling, you were ogling me when I was in the shower first. Plus, you deserved it, you forgot Lavender's birthday." Georgia countered, determined not to lose. The girls began to bicker, so Aiko, keen to draw the argument to a close cut them short. "That is all the evidence that we have time for. Jury you have two minutes to deliberate before you must cast your votes."

Mia and Georgia made their way to the foldable seats. Once again, placed nearby were three pies and two buckets, one containing gunge, the other filled with thick creamy pea soup. Georgia sat on the left and Mia on the right. The stage gave way to reveal two new tanks of mess. Below Georgia stood a tank of pink slime, below Mia was a tank of thick yellow custard. The buzzer sounded to announce the end of the two minutes. Aiko declared "Jury cast your votes now." Georgia and Mia shot each other nervous glances. The bulbs flashed on, a mix of red and green. Mia took a few seconds to count before whooping with joy. The jury had found Georgia guilty by seven votes to five. Georgia shook her head at her friend. She braced herself for the worst. Aiko began a countdown from five. Mia gazed intently into her friend's eyes, she was going to enjoy this. "Five, four, three, two, one", chanted Aiko and the jury. Aiko pressed her remote.

Suddenly Mia's chair gave way. Caught unaware, the pretty brunette plunged into the pool of custard. She disappeared completely under the surface as custard seeped into her clothes. She thrashed around in the tank, trying to reach fresh air. As she did so, her head was met with a barrage of purple gunge. What had happened? Georgia was the one who as supposed to be gunged, not her. Aiko shot accusing looks at her stagehands and then Parvati, wanting to know what had gone wrong. Parvati shrugged her shoulders. Aiko didn't want to look like an amateur, this was deeply embarrassing. Georgia collapsed into a fit of giggle at poor Mia's expense. Returning her gaze, Mia shook he fist at the blonde. Offstage, Abi clapped in delight.

Stage hands helped Mia back up onto her seat. She pressed down on her top, causing custard to squirt out from her chest and hit her on the chin. Suddenly she felt Georgia pour the bucket of pea soup over her hair. She looked up to face her tormentor who proceed to pour the remainder of the bucket over her forehead. Blinded, Mia could do nothing to avoid the two pies heading her way. The first hit her smack in the face, the second slammed down on top of her brown hair.

"Would the accused sit down!" Warned Aiko. "Let me remind you that you are the one who is supposed to be getting gunged." Just then, dark blue gunge rained down from the ceiling, hitting Mia in the chest. Parvati made a gesture to the host suggesting that she had pressed the wrong button. Aiko shot back a dirty look and with Georgia now sitting back down tried again. Once more, it was Mia's seat that gave way. As she fell, she sensed that her skirt lifted up above her thighs. The whole jury were in stitches, thought the loudest laughter belonged to Abi. Mia disappeared under the surface of the custard a second time. Aiko waved her arms in frustration; this feature was becoming a joke.

The joke was certainly on Mia who grabbed onto the side of the tank and looked directly into the camera. Mia maintained a smile throughout, she would not let Georgia escape clean now. Having been helped back onto the platform she refused to sit down. She motioned for Georgia to swap seats. Mia picked up the bucket of red gunge and seductively tipped it over Georgia's pretty head. Mia then picked up the final pie and gently eased it in Georgia's face. The girls weren't equal, not yet, but this was a start. Mia sat down on the second chair and watched as Aiko pressed the remote for a third time.

Once again, the chair above the custard gave way. Georgia fell into the custard, making an almighty plop. Custard splashed up onto Mia's legs. Georgia resurfaced and slicked the custard from her hair. She wiped her face clean before turning to face Mia, who jokingly waved at the poor blonde. Aiko, meanwhile received a message from Parvati in her earpiece. The fault with the second seat was fixed, it should work now. Aiko shrugged her shoulders and pressed the remote. Mia, still waving at Georgia was caught unaware. Her seat gave way and she screamed as she disappeared under the surface of the pink gunge. She splashed around under the slime trying to reach the surface. Gunge seeped into her underwear, which began to sag. Mia poked her head out from under the slime. This proved to be a mistake as she was hit by a barrage of white gunge. Mia tried to haul herself out of the tank, only to slip and fall back in. Her splash caused pink gunge to hit the laughing Georgia in the face.

Aiko began to speak to camera. "Well I'm not sure that justice was served, but watch out for part two where Georgia and Emily will try and gain revenge on their accusers." The camera cut to Emily once again, only for Sophie to pour custard over her head. Mia suddenly took hold of Aiko's words. Georgia would be getting a second chance to gunge her, when it was Mia who had so far come off worse. But then again, was it Georgia's fault that the seats malfunctioned? Surely not. Mia would simply have to try and beat her once again.

To make matters worse, Abi began to saunter over to the gunge tank. "So, Mia I bet you weren't expecting that. How does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine?" the reporter began. Mia took care not to scowl. "You win some, you lose some", she replied. "Georgia better look out, she is going to be destroyed in the next game." "Better luck next time", clucked Abi before producing a pie, hidden behind her waist and pieing the teen in the face.

Georgia meanwhile was helped out of the tank of custard. She quickly made for the changing room so that she could get showered first. Sophie also left the studio floor so that she could get changed. Mia looked around her. She tried to avoid eye contact with the jury who were still visibly laughing at her expense. She searched for Ava, but couldn't find her. Had she already left? Instead, her eyes rested on Emily, still locked in the stocks. The girls exchanged consoling looks to one another, Mia couldn't work out who had come out of the first round worst.

Not long afterwards, Mia was helped out of the gunge tank. With custard leaving a messy trail behind her she headed for the changing rooms. Georgia had just finished in the shower and had a towel wrapped around her waist. Mia found that her white top had stuck to her skin, so asked her friend to help lift it over her head. Georgia did so, whilst trying to avoid getting messy once again. Mia slipped off her skirt and kicked it to the corner of the room. Mia peeled off her bra and threw it at Georgia, who barely had time to duck out of the way. Mia then pulled down her panties and headed for the shower.

Mia stood under the warm water and began to relax. She massaged shampoo into her hair and made a lather with the shower gel. She was just wiping custard from her chest when she was caught by surprise. Emily sauntered into the walk-in shower and stood under the nozzle head beside her. Mia moved to cover herself up, but then paused, thinking that she might look ridiculous, might look like a prude. Emily glanced over at Mia's naked body and checked the girl out. "Don't mind me, Parvati said that we were running late." Mia stuttered out a reply. "Erm okay, I'm almost done anyway. You were brave to face all the punishments you received. You must have known that you were going to lose before you agreed to come on." Mia couldn't help but look Emily up and down. She had a body to die for. "Well, Sophie's my best friend, I'd do anything for her. She's always been kind to me, especially when others haven't. Nevertheless, I can't let her escape away clean, she hasn't even got messy once yet." Emily wiped porridge from her breasts and squeezed custard out of her short brown hair.

Emily tried to scrape gunge from off the small of her back and sighed. "Mia, could you check to see whether I've got all the gunge off my back and legs? I can't see to be sure." Emily turned around so that her backside faced Mia. Mia scanned down, first focusing on Emily's bare neck and then her shoulders. Slowly glancing down she moved to wipe gunge off Emily's back. Emily tingled as she felt the girl's soft touch. Mia's vision fell upon Emily's behind. Was that pasta sauce on her buttocks? Mia couldn't remember anyone on the show using that so far. "Ermthere's some pasta sauce on your derriere, would you like me to, you know, help wipe it off?" Mia grimaced as she asked the brunette. "Sure, why not?" replied Emily, nonchalantly. Mia had often fantasised about touching Jessica intimately, but this was different. She'd only met the older girl for the first time today. Plus, Emily was straight, wasn't she? Mia cupped her hand to catch some water and gently massaged Emily's left cheek. Embarrassed, she then slid her hand across Emily's behind to her right cheek before repeating the trick.

Emily turned to face Mia once again. Mia couldn't help but glance down at the older girl. Emily saw her and gently shook her head before beginning to speak. "From what I've heard, the TV crew don't think that the chair had a mechanical malfunction. They think that someone must have tampered with it. I can't think why though. It's the sort of thing that Ava might do, being an engineering student after all, but she has a beef with me, not you. I can't think of why anyone would try and sabotage you. Do you?"

Mia tried to think of anyone who would want to sabotage her chair. Abi possibly, but she wouldn't know how to rig an electrical system surely? Plus, she didn't go anywhere near the stage during the break in filming. Perhaps it was Graham. But he seemed such a nice guy and didn't seem all that interested in the prospect of gunge. Maybe it was Dave, who had acted rather creepily around her once again. But he would lose his job if he was caught, it wouldn't be worth the risk. Why would it matter to him which of the pretty girls got gunged? It was interesting to hear that Ava had the capability to reprogramme the remotes. But how would she have gotten away with it? Surely someone would have seen her. Plus, why would she want to sabotage Mia's seat? They barely knew each other. What could her motive be? Mia suddenly realised that she had been staring at Emily's nude body far too long and turned her face away in embarrassment. Looking up towards the shower head, her face was doused with water.

Both girls had now been in the shower for a long time. Without warning, the supply of hot water swiftly ran out. Simultaneously, both girls shrieked in unison as freezing cold water rained down upon them. Poor Emily still wasn't clean, she would have to suffer the cold water for a short while longer. Finished in the shower, Mia darted back to the safety of the changing room. Desperate to escape the cold water, Mia simply clawed at her towel. Trying to wrap the towel around her as she ran out of the shower, she ran straight into the watching Ava, who had come to pay her sister a visit. Bumping straight into her, Mia slipped over backwards, her towel falling away to the side. Ava looked down on the naked teen, her vulnerable bush and her breasts staring straight back. "How nice to see you again Mia, hasn't today been great fun?" Offering her hand, she pulled up the embarrassed teen up to her feet, before cheekily slapping her on the bum.
