Can You Pass the 6th grade?


The lights bore down on her, like the heat from a thousand suns. She squinted to see the board in front of her. Her hands grabbed the lectern in front of her in a death grip. Her knees felt weak, it was the first time she had ever found herself in this position, and she was not sure that she would ever survive the fear, the stress, and the doubt racing through her head. Here about to be revealed, was the question, not the final question, but the final one for her. She doubted, at her young age off 12, that she could picture $500,000.

The Host and the contest to her side are talking, but she can't hear them, due to the sound of the blood pulsing in her head THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP, her heart beating her chest. The only thing quiet in the entire building is the audience, as everyone waited on the edge of the their seat. No one had yet in the history of the show had gotten to the $500,000 question.

It has actually only been seconds, but for her, it felt like an eternity, please be an easy question, please be something that the studio tutors had covered recently. Please do not let me fail this contestant I pray, before looking up and seeing the question

“Who was the Astronaut that orbited the moon, as Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon and made history”

Madison, anxiously looked for the multiple choice answers, before reality slammed into her, causing her to panic even more than she was already. There was no multiple choice answers, after you climb this high in the class. She searched the memory banks in her brain, for any possible answers. They had only just started discussing the space race in school. They hadn't gotten to the moon landing yet. She didn't know the answer!!!!!

Bill, the contestant, looked at the host. “well, it has been awhile since I was in the 6th grade, and honestly I never paid attention to all that stuff......”

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP beat Madison's heart, please do not say it, please know the answer, I cannot help you. The thought screamed in her head, begging to be said outloud, but it would be a violation of the rules, and it does not do well to violate the rules.

Time slowed to a crawl, but no matter how slow it went, Madison, could hear him loud and clear. The words crashed through all other distractions as she begged him in her head not to finish that sentence

“...... I guess I will have to use my final student help.. Madison, what is the answer” He said as he and the host turned and faced her. Her face went white, all the blood that earlier had been pounding in her head and threatening to bust vessels, now drained completely from her head, and dropped like an elevator, to her feet, as her heart went up into her throat. She choked, as she tried to get past the lump in her throat caused by her heart. She struggled to get control of herself,

“well um let's see Bill, we only recently started this, but I am thinking it was one of the astronauts that had gone into space, If piloting to the moon, was a dangerous job, I think they would want someone who had been to space before, so I think the answer is ummmm John Glenn.”

The Host looks at Bill. Well, she thinks it is John Glenn, the last student help that you used, was the duplicate cheat, so you have to use the answer that she gave. But before we reveal the answer, do you think she is right? Do you think you made the right choice to cheat”


“Well, honestly, I have no idea, her reasoning sounds solid, but something in the back of my head, makes me think it was actually someone named Mike or Michael. Maybe, Michael Smith?

“Well, you chose to cheat, and let's see who is right. Is it Michael Smith, or John Glenn?”

Everyone including Madison, looks at the giant screen in front of everyone, as the answer pops up on the screen, made to look like a blackboard. The answer, being the correct answer, appears in red, just like if a teacher corrected a wrong answer, and wrote it in red ink next to your answer. “Michael Collins”

Madison, fell on to the student lectern in front of her, she was wrong, she just blew it for Bill. His winnings went from $375,000 to $50,000 and it was all her fault. Bill next to her looked stunned. He had said that he was going to use the money, to pay for a wedding, his girlfriend of 5 years had stood at his side, while he struggled to provide for them all, and she just ruined his one good shot at a fantastic ball wedding, and the honeymoon they wanted to go on.

The Host looks at them, “well she was right, it was an astronaut that had been in space before, just not the one she thought. I am sorry, but you still have $50,000 right?

Bill shakes the hosts hand, and madison's hand, before walking off the stage. Once he leaves, the host looks at the audience. “well you all know what happens next. Thumps up, if you believe madison here deserves to be spanked for her part in the contestant losing. If you vote yes, then vote how many strokes she deserves, and with what implement.”

Everyone in the audience picks up their voting machines, and votes, as tears stream silently down Madison's face. This was the second to final episode for the season, all she had to do was make it these episodes, take the scholarship money for school, and go on with her life. She was so close to the end, and she blew it. She only has herself to blame, she played the odds and lost. She knew this could happen, but begged her parents to let her be on the show as a classmate.

Within a couple of minutes, the results were in. The host pushed a button on the teacher desk in front of him. Madison crossed her fingers and toes, if the screen displayed a thumbs up, it would mean that the audience thought she played the game well and did her best, and should not be spanked. If the screen showed a thumbs down, then she would be spanked.

She looked up, and through her tears, saw her nightmare. The thumb was pointing down. The host pushed another button, next would display the implement that had been chosen. Up on the screen, a hairbrush was displayed.

At least it was not the strap or cane. The hairbrush would still bruise, but she had seen the horrible marks on other classmates when they got the cane or the strap. One student did not sit comfortably for two weeks, after getting 6 of the best. Which turned out to be nine, when she got out of position.

Next, would be the number of times the hairbrush would smack into her bottom. She looked at the screen once again, and the number 4 showed up.

4? that is not bad, Madison thought. 4 is actually nothing, Then she heard the hosting, reminding the audience watching at home, that the number 4, was not the total number, in the case of implements like the hairbrush, but it was actually the number of how many DOZEN she would get.

While space travel was not her suit, Madison was good at math. 4 dozen, means that she was going to get 48 swats. That was a LOT more than 4.

The host went down to a bed, that was on the set, as the camera men, got into position. To film the punishment. Madison was told to fetch the implement. It was a couple of feet away from the bed, laying on a dresser. She did not think she could trust her legs to make the walk, but they managed to just barely hold up and offer support.

She picked up the hairbrush, which was made of a nice piece of wood, stained a dark brown. It was about three quarters of an inch thick, and in her hand, it felt like a ton. She handed it to the host, who was sitting on the side of the bed. She bent down over his lap, and he positioned her where he wanted to bed. As the camera trained on her backside, he flipped up the back of her skirt, before pulling down her panties. Because she had helped the contestant go so far in the game, the spanking was automatically to be given on the bare bottom.

SMACK!!!! the audience shouts out 1!!!!! as the hairbrush hits her bottom. She grew up getting spanked, so a hairbrush spanking was nothing new, but the shame and embarrassment of it being televised, made it so much worse.

SMACK!!!! 2!!!!! the audience shouts, and this one felt a little bit harder to madison, who grimaces against the pain.

SMACK!!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!!! the audience continues to shout out each number, as the pain builds. She wishes that she could grab and hold on to something, but there is nothing there.

SMACK!!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!! the number is up to 8, and as the number of swats grows, so does the number of tears that trace down her face, either falling from her face, and trickling into her mouth, leaving behind their salty taste.

SMACK!!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!! SMACK!!! 12!! the first dozen is done, and while it hurts, Madison has had longer ones, so she is not in real bad shape. It is nowhere near, like that time when she was 9, and dad caught her trying to shoplift a candy bar. She had gotten her first taste of the belt then, after he had paddled her bottom for a long time. That was always the spanking she remembered and did not want to repeat. She had looked in the mirror after that her bottom was bruised and very tender to the touch. It was the worst spanking of her nine year old life at the time.

SMACK!!!!!! SMACK!!!! SMAACK!!! since one dozen is done, the strength used also goes up slightly. She gasps at the increased pain, she could see that this was going to get worse, very quickly. SMACK!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!!! the spanking continued, as did the counting by the audience. Madison's crying, begins to make noise, as she starts to drum her legs,

SMACK!!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!!! when her wiggling gets to much, she is reminded that if she does not settle down, she could earn a longer spanking, or it could ever restart!!!! She manages to still herself to a certain extent.

SMACK!!! SMACK!! SMACK!!! the second dozen is complete, and both the tv and in studio audience can see the darkening red color of her bottom. The host puts the brush down on her bottom, and he can feel the heat radiating off of her bottom. This is one of the sole reasons that he took the job of hosting the show, and he is glad, that the courts ruled, that minors could be spanked on live tv, as long as the spanking was not taped, and at no point was video to be sold that contained the spanking. So all spankings were done live, and were not featured on any box set DVDs. They also had to get all parents to sign off, and the minor to sign off, to being spanked. Which was easy to do, once the show waved the savings bond for college under everyone's nose. Once that happened, it was easy to get lower income families who did not want college debt, to virtually “sell” their kids to the show. There was actually a waiting list of 100 kids, who wanted in on the show. Many of them would be too old, by the time their name was reached.

SMACK!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!!! the spanking began again, and once again the strength behind the swats goes up, and Madison cannot believe how much it is starting to hurt. She now knew, why some of the kids, after earning a single punishment, quit the show, forfeited the savings bond and went home. The risk of earning a second punishment just proved too much for the kid.

SMACK!! SMACK!! SMACK!!! Madison starts to bawl, unable to control the tears and handle the pain any longer.

SMACK!!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!!! she makes her mistake, without thinking, she reaches back, and covers her bottom. The host informs her, that she was already warned once, when she was struggling earlier, and once again she disobeys. Her actions would cost her another six swats.

SMACK!!!! SMACK!!! SMACK!! the third dozen ends, and she is just about spent. The spanking is paused, to give her a chance to breathe. The audiences can see the incredibly dark red color of her bottom. The darkest color being around her sit spots. Her bottom, would surely be bruised by the end.

SMACK!!!! SMACK!! SMACK!! the audience counts out the start of the fourth and final dozen of smacks. Madison once again, starts bawling, her rest not being anywhere near long enough to provide much relief.

SMACK!!! SMACK!! SMACK!!! every fiber of Madion's body begs her to get up and runs off stage, but she knows it will only make things ten times worse.

SMACK!!!! SMACK!! SMACK!!! her tears stop, not because the pain stops, but because she has run out of tears.

SMACK!!! SMACK!! SMACK!!! the fourth dozen ends, she is spent and for the most part, just lays limb over the lap, her spanking was supposed to end here, but she earned those extra six.

The host explains to the benefit of those just tuning in to watch, that the extra smacks, would be the hardest and most painful of all.

SMACK!!! SMACK!! SMACK!! SMACK!! SMACK!! SMACK!!! each swat, to madison feels like she has been hit by a train, but she manages to summon her courage and will power to take each and every swat. Her punishment is now over, and the host helps her to her feet, her skirt falls back down once she stands up, but she still goes to pull her underwear up. When the camera catches her pained face, when the fabric touches her bottom, the audience laughs. She decides it just hurts too much, and steps out of her underwear and just holds them in her hand, as she waves goodbye to everyone and walks off stage. The audience applauds her departure, and the next contestant, and the student choosen to help, comes out on stage. Madison's mom is there to greet her, and she does not look happy. She knows she has disappointed her parents, but she really did try her best. They start to walk out of the studio, to go home, as filming for Madison is over. She will miss the final episode, as there is a two episode “break” before a classmate who has been punished, is allowed to be picked again to help.

Before they get to the studio door, Bill, the contestant, she lost the game for, steps out of the shadows and addresses her mom.

“It is her fault, I lost, I trusted in her, and she blew it for me. Cost me $325,000 and it should have been me, who was allowed to punish her.”

Her mother, looks at him. “yes I agree, she cost you the money and the game, and you should have been allowed to spank her, but we have to abide by the rules of the game”

“yes, and the rules state that the host punishes her on camera, but nothing is said about afterwards”

Her mother, thinks about this for a minute before responding. “what do you have in mind”

“let me follow you girls home, or someone private, and let me take care of her my way. I want to punish her myself”

Madison thinks this nightmare will never end. Here her bottom is burning like the surface of the sun, and her mom, is actually thinking about letting this stranger spank her further!!!

“yes, sounds good to me, we only live about 15 minutes away.”

Bill, in an dreadful indication of her future, starts to remove his belt from their loops, and grins at her.
