"Okay, okay!" she said quickly "I apologize for skaring you out of your sleep, but I'm not being stubborn!" she insisted trying her best not to start crying

(Sorry. Must have double hit the "Post quick reply" button.)

"Are you sure about that?" asked Tibor. "Because ithink you're being stubborn." SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! He was starting to enjoy seeing her bottom turn red.

"Hey, stop it, will yah!" Anna said as she couldn't hold her tears anymore "I apologized, what do you want more" she said realy worried for her sitting abilities now.

"Ok," said Tibor. He gave her a final ten swats, lighter than he had been spanking, and sat her on his lap and put his arms around her. "I'm sorry I lost my temper. Are we still friends?"

Anna winced as she was sat down, but didn't move. She tryed to get her tears under control but it seamed to be harder than she thought. Her bum hurt, and she knew sitting wouldn't be fun. "Why the hell did you do that?" she asked him somewhat angry, through not at him. She was angry at herself that he managed to put her over his lap at all, and that she didn't manage to stand up no matter how much she struggled

Tibor hugged her, trying to make her feel better. "I did that because I really felt it could be dangerous for you to wake me up like that,' he said. "And you didn't seem to be taking it seriously. Anna, this is a different world, and not taking things seriously can get you killed. I felt I needed to MAKE you take my warnings seriously. I really am sorry I spanked you, but I know this world, and you need to listen to me, no matter how trivial something might seem. We've only known each other for a day, but i care about you and don't want anything to happen to you."

"Now you're thalking to me like I would be some five years old" she said frowning at him "And you're taking it too seriously. Can't I even have a little fun?" she said as she stood up and replaced her clothing, wincing slightly as she did so.

"I'm sorry if I'm being condescending," he said. "And I don't think I', taking it too seriously. And of course you can have some fun, just don't be reckless about it." He was afraid he wasn't explaining things very well. "Look, I'm really sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes, you can promise me to stop overreacting. I know this is your world but I'm a big girl and I know when I have to be serious" she said rubbing at her bum
