As long as they can both remember, Jane Starkwood and Sara Mueller were best friends. Through the public school system, college and the areas outside, these two have stuck with eachother thick and thin. A good thing too, for while Jane is a well-tempered and kind young woman, she is extremely flaky and something of a party girl, and Sara has always been there to reel her in, and make sure to do well in school and all that jazz.
As the two are in college, young Jane is always aiming for any acting roles she can find, and our story starts at their local community college after Jane had a audition for a made-for-TV movie.
*Balthazar Community College, Yuma, Arizona, 3:00 P.M.*
Sara Mueller is ready to go home after a long day of classes, but as she begins her trek to the parking lot, familiar yells of "Sara! Sara!" behind her, means only one thing. As she turns around, little Jane Starkwood nearly crashes into her. Jane is a short girl, only 5'1, and with long, chestnut-brown hair and a slim figure. Sara, on the other hand, is a giantess to here, standing 5'8 and having a blonde bob cut.
"Jesus, Jane! Be more cautious!", Sara admonishes her. "Sorry, sorry! But, Sara, I got it! I got a part! I did it!", Jane says. "Oh yeah? Good for you! What is it?". "Well, it's like a mini-movie on the Lifetime channel. It's like some romance thing of two horse riders falling in love, and I scored the part of the leading lady's younger sister!". "Well done, indeed". "But...".
And with this, Sara sighs. She knows something stupid or silly is about to happen. "But...*what*, Jane?". "Well, the part needs to know how to ride a horse...and...uh...I don't". "You lied, didn't you Jane?". "Well...yeah". "Damn it, Jane! You don't think when the taping for this happens they won't notice?!? They will know you are a phony and your career is over before it even began!", Sara yells. "But!", Jane tries to start. "No! No buts. You call them and say you sprained your ankle or something and drop it, you hear me?".
"BUT! I know you can ride a horse, Sara! It's in a week or two, you can teach me!", Jane cheerfully, if slightly obliviously, says. "Jane, you haven't even been near a horse in your whole life!". "Yeah, but Sara, you are so smart and cool, teaching me is a cakewalk for someone like you!". Sara sighs. She loved Jane like a little sister, but at times, she felt more like her mother. Jane was nice and all, but if her head wasn't attached to her neck, Sara would think it would float into the clouds. Plus, she was kinda...well, lazy.
"All right, Jane. Do you really want to learn how to ride a horse?". "Yup!", Jane cheerfully retorts. "I repeat, do you REALLY want to ride a horse?". "Yes!". "Alright, do you remember Amanda?", Sara asks. "Amanda...oh yeah, that one friend of yours? Kinda curly hair, looks like that CSI lady?". "Yeah, that's her. You know her family owns their own horse ranch?". "No, I didn't". "Well, me and Amanda go way back. I'll go give her a call. If you really want to learn, take this address and meet me there later today. All right?". "Got it! Thanks, Sara you're the best!". And with that, Jane gave Sara a hug, took the note and ran off.
"Jeez. This isn't going to be easy. Might as well call Amanda, I guess", Sara thought to herself. She then procures a cell phone and dials a number. "Yeah, Amanda? Yeah, I'm coming over with a friend in a little while. Bring Kailee and the equipment. Okay, bye", and with that she hung up and went to her car.
*Painted Hills Ranch, Yuma, Arizona, 5:00 P.M.*
It took Jane a little while to drive to the location. As she pulls in, she can see it's a pretty massive place. Finding a open space to park, Jane wanders out and finds Sara. To Jane's surprise, Sara is wearing a pink short-sleeved plaid shirt, a pair of black leather gloves, a black belt, cream-colored jodhpurs & a pair brown riding boots. "Hey Sara! I love your boots! Why are you dressed like that?". "Well, Jane, this is horse riding gear". "Really? But, what about my chaps and cowgirl boots?". "Uh...no. Sorry. While we were gone, I checked the thing you were talking about, and you know it's about a pair of showjumpers, right?". "Yeah, so?", Jane naively asks. "What do you think they dress like? Come on, follow me".
Leading Jane into a small house on the ranch, Sara then turns to her. "Alright, Jane. Strip 'em". "Huh?". "Your clothes. Take them off to your bra and panties. I need to get you the right size of clothes". "But...but...can you turn around?", Jane meekly asks. "Fine", Sara says. After a minute, Jane removes the denim tuxedo she was wearing. "All right, hold still.", and then Sara measures the demure Jane. "OK, stay right there.", and with that Sara pops into another room, and five minutes later comes in with a bundle of clothes in her arms and place it on a table. "First things first, put on this blouse". "Okay!", ans to Jane's surprise, it's made of smooth, silky satin. "Oh, Sara, it feels so nice! Does it look pretty?". "Yes, it does, Jane. Here, put these pants on and make sure you tuck the end of the blouse into them", as Sara hands Jane a pair of white jodhpurs.
Jane has never worn a pair of pants this tight before. "Damn Sara, this thing is clinging to my skin! Is it supposed to be this tight?". "Yes, actually. You know athletic spandex, right?". "Uh, yeah?". "Same thing. It's supposed to be skin tight so the wearer can move around better. Here, let me stretch the sides out a bit.....better?". As Jane finishes sliding into the jodhpurs, making sure the blouse is tucking in and buttons them, she asks. "All done!". "Good, move your legs around a bit", Sara asks her. As Jane swings her legs around and bends them back, and sees Sara is right. "Ooh, I like these. These feel nice and sexy! I want one!", Jane says as Sara slips a black belt in. "Alright, now put these boots on", as Sara hands her a pair of riding boots. "So tall...Do I need them?". "Yes. Put them on". "Alright, alright", Jane says as she slips them on. To her surprise, they fit quite well. As Jane walks around in the heavy-soled boots, Sara gets a stock tie and grabs Jane long enough to put it on for her".
"Almost done, now put on these gloves and coat". "Okay", and Jane finishes. Then, Sara grabs a riding helmet and puts it on Jane. As she steps back, Sara can see the full ensemble on Jane. A black riding helmet, a black riding coat, a white long-sleeved blouse, a black stock tie, a pair of white riding gloves, a black belt, white jodhpurs & a pair of black riding boots. "Do I look pretty?", Jane asks. "Yes, and elegant too. When you are ready, I'll tie your hair into a ponytail". "I'm not ready?", Jane asks. "Hell no, you aren't. Tomorrow. Come on, I need you to introduce you to Amanda". And with that, both left the small house.
As the two exit the mini-house, they can see two young women approaching them. The first is Amanda Ciccino, Sara's friend and the daughter of the owner of the ranch, who is out on a business trip. Amanda's tanned skin and luscious curly hair makes her stand out, and she is dressed in a white long-sleeved blouse, a pair of black leather gloves, a black belt, red jodhpurs & a pair of black riding boots. The other girl is Kailee Gonzales. Like Amanda, Kailee has been a childhood friend of Sara and frequently rides horses with her, but as she is a medical student is usually not around as much. She has long, black hair and dressed in a blue short-sleeved polo shirt, a pair of black leather gloves, a white belt, black jodhpurs & a pair of brown riding boots.
"Hi, Sara!", Amanda says. "Hello, Amanda. Hello, Kailee. This is the girl I was talking about, Jane. You met her a couple times over the years", all three shake hands and say hello. "Alright, now that we are all here, Jane, I want to say something. What we are going to do isn't so easy. To take someone who's never even been near a horse and train them in a week or two will take hard work. And I know you aren't very motivated".
As Jane looks down, Sara continues. "Jane, have you ever heard of the Farmer and the Donkey?". "Uh...you mean, like the carrot thing?". "Yes, exactly. See, a farmer needs to get his donkey to a lake, but it won't move, so he dangles the carrot, and off it goes. So, we three are the farmer, you are the donkey, the lake is the time we have and the goal of getting you on this show. But, what isn't said is the switch. The farmer needs to use the switch on the donkey when he doesn't obey. And right now, you need to trust us three to the word. What we say, goes. And the switch here is if you don't do what we say when we say it, or you screw up one too many times during a lesson, we are going to tie you up for a while".
"Well, that sounds f.....", wait what did she think she just hear? "Uh....Sara...did you say 'tie up?". "Yes, I did. We will take rope and bind your hands and feet and cloth to gag you if you don't do well. Why? Punishment. Do you think you will do bad if you get tied to a pole for a few hours?". "But....but...isn't that a little extreme?", Jane meekly asks, still can't believing what she just heard. "No. In fact, do you remember me saying you aren't getting a lesson today?", Sara asks. "Yeah". "Well, that is because today we are tying you up as a show of what's at stake, and what to expect".
"TODAY?!?", Jane shrieks. What in the world has she gotten herself into? "Yes. Do you object?". "....No.". "Good. Amanda. Kailee. Shall we escort our new pupil to the classroom?". "Yup. Come along, Jane. It's not so bad, all three of us tie eachother up all the time!", Amanda says to her as she and Kailee hook Jane's arms and walk with Sara to a barn. But, Jane doesn't say a word. She's still in shock. As the three enter the barn, Kailee grabs a silk scarf from a pile of "goods", and as Amanda holds Jane's arms, cleave gags her. "Mmph! Mmgh! Nmmph! (Hey! Stop! Don't gag me!)", Jane tries to protest. "Gagging is just another part of this as physical restraint. Please don't struggle.", Kailee trying to reassure her. "Now, please, may you lay down on your stomach?". Jane shoots a look to Sara, who is stone-faced. Meekly compliant, Jane does so.
As she does, Amanda and Kailee grab some rope. Amanda starts tying Jane's hands, while Kailee binds her ankles together. After making sure both are tight, Sara gives them another rope, and they tie both ends to each side, hog-tying poor Jane. As the petite wold-be actress struggles, Sara kneels down below her. "Jane? Please don't be scared. I know you are, but what we are going to do is immensely difficult, and you need proper motivation. I swear if you do well, we won't tie you, and today, in an hour and a half, I'll come untie you. Okay?". Jane, looking up at Sara with wide, doe-eyes nods her head and quietly whimpers. "Good girl", as Sara gives her a small kiss on the cheek, and a hug. "All right, you two, I'll check back in her in about 90 minutes or so". And with that, Sara, Amanda and Kailee leave poor Jane, hog-tied on the floor, to struggle in vain.
The time goes by quickly. Jane struggles and wiggles as well she can, but the knots hold. But, more so Jane is adrift in a river of thought. "Is this part really worth it all?", she asks herself. Before she knows it, Sara returns, and starts untying Jane, and then un-gags her. She then sits Jane up and checks on her. "Are you all right, Jane?". "Oh man, I don't think I like that at all". "I know, it's only for your own good. Jane, I want you to succeed, but I can't baby you anymore. You know, if you screw around out there, what am I going to say to Amanda? It's her ranch, it's her horses. Or Kailee? This is out of her free time". "I'm sorry Sara, it's my own fault. I know I'm a goof and lazy, but I want to do good and make you proud!". "Good, Jane. Good. Come on, you stayed long enough in here. Have some dinner, then get a good night's sleep for tomorrow. At dawn, you ride". And with that, the two left the barn.
