Correcting A Catboy (A Rejuve RP for French Polynesia)

At first, Nikki was a little glad to walk with Katherine, but then the woman suddenly picked him up and held him against her hip. If he felt small before, he felt even smaller now. Katherine was so effortlessly holding him up that his body tensed up and his face turned red. Sure, the woman seemed strong - she looked fit underneath her dress - but it just reinforced how small he really was; the boy was undersized for his age and always had been. However, Nikki reacted strongly to being lifted up at first not because of how small he felt, but because it had happened so suddenly that he was being lifted up into the air.

Nikki clung to the woman, wrapping his arms around her as she carried him out towards the car. The boy's ears laid flat again as he looked down towards the ground. Having been brought back to his earlier years, an old fear of his was being reignited as he looked down to the ground. His little chest huffed and puffed with deep breaths, but after a few seconds, the boy started to calm down. Katherine was strong and holding onto him tightly. He didn't seem to be in any danger at all and slowly, his ears started to lift back up and his fingers stopped digging into the woman quite as much. Nikki was still looking towards the ground like it was simultaneously an old friend and a hated enemy, wanting to be on it, yet hating it from afar for how far it now seemed. A few more steps, though, and Nikki relaxed entirely, letting out a bit of a sigh.

It was when he finally managed to relax entirely and he was brought into the limo with Katherine that he registered what she had said to him earlier, right as she had picked him up. Nikki leaned back into Katherine and tilted his head up while she played with his tail. "Do I hafta call you 'Mommy'?" His bottom lip stuck out in a half-pout as he asked this question, but he didn't seem ready to rage like he had earlier. These sorts of questions were common with new pennies as they tried testing out their new roles by pushing boundaries, asking questions of their new world. They were kids again and with that came a partial re-learning of the world's structure.

"This sucks..." Nikki said, looking back down and to the hands that were playing with his tail. He watched them inquisitively. Every now and then, he moved his tail just a little bit away from the fingers to see if he could make them give chase. If they did, he let them catch it before doing it again a little while later. If not, his tail went back to the fingers, let them have it for a second or two, and then tried to bait them into another game of chase. The whole time he watched, he breathed in with that sensitive nose of his, taking in Katherine's scent. "Okay, I'll call you that, but I'm not happy about it, Mommy." Spoken like a true kid.

[French Polynesia]

Katherine mock pouted when he asked her if he hafta call her mommy. "I'm afraid so kitty cat, because you have a long sentence and I'm going to be your only mommy." She told him. It was true- usually pennies are shifted among parents after their cycle is over, mostly due to the reason that sentences tend to be long and the parents usually get old by the last cycles. But Katherine had sway over the board and she always wanted to keep the kids with her for the whole sentence, mostly because she wanted them to have the continuity and a caring loving home. With Nikki, she was quite young at 24, so it won't be a problem that she ages too much.

She often took in her older kids when they got turned back due to old age. Her daughter was now approaching seventy and her second son nearly eighty, so Nikki would probably be having siblings in his next cycle.

She saw him place with his tail and smiled at his antics. He was sure playful, just like a cat, she mused. His final comment even got a giggle out of her. "Aww, shucks. And here I was thinking you'd be over the moon." She kissed his nose quickly before leaning back and playing with his tail. She loved how smooth his tail was, a stray hand going to his ear. "But don't worry, you'll get used to it. I had nine mommies and daddies when I was a penny, always going from place to place. You will be staying at the same home at least." She looked out of the car as it drove through the road by the coastline as the big sea facing mansion came into view. Originally a castle, Katherine had it remodelled for her and her kids and it was a huge space with a private beach and dock, her megayacht gleaming in the sun.

"Guess we're home." She smiled at her son, letting him see the big gothic gates which opened as the car sped up the wooded area and to the front of the house. She opened the door as it approached and got out with Nikki in her arms and she quickly spun him around playfully before letting him down.

The longer that Nikki now spent in his new body, the more his newly-regressed brain took over in his head, slowly making him think more like a kid, act like a kid, and talk like a kid, rather than the adult that he'd been just a few hours ago. "You're going to be my only Mommy?" Nikki asked, leaning back into Katherine again and tilting his head to look up at her. His tail was still idly playing with Katherine's fingers as he instead turned his attention to the woman. "I didn't know you could do that." He didn't sound upset, though. With Nikki taking in more of Katherine's scent and the small bits of affection that she was giving him, Nikki was almost getting used to this; he was certainly calm, at least.

A kiss came to his nose and Nikki wiggled it, his eyes going crossed for a moment to look at the spot that she'd kissed. It'd been so long since someone had shown him this much affection. His second, adoptive mother never had, as she'd been a cold and harsh woman who saw him only as a tool and the boy had only really ever had casual flings with other women when he was an adult; it was nothing ever that tender like this. Yet, the woman was kissing him, playing with his tail, and even scratching at his ear. Nikki didn't quite know how to take this. He wasn't used to it at all. The kitten squirmed on her lap a little bit and stared off in the distance. Was this a trick? Was it real?

But then he heard quite the shocking fact and turned around. "You were a penny, too? You had that many Mommies and Daddies? Wow, that's a lot. I couldn't imagine having that many. That's way too many. I've had two Mommies. Uh... three now." Nikki lifted a finger and pointed towards Katherine. "I'm glad I don't have to move around a lot. That'd be sad. Was it sad for you?" The boy talked, not stopping to think that his question may have been insensitive. He was just further sinking into his new mindset. His small period of adjustment was almost over and soon enough, he'd no longer have a single adult thought in his brain as he completely fell to his new Rejuvenated state.

Nikki's attention turned to the window, same as Katherine's as though he was following her, and then he gasped at what he saw. "Wow! That's huge!" It looked about the same as his old home, but to his new brain, it was big, new, and amazing; it also had a style completely different to his old home, too. Nikki pressed his hands to the window as he leaned in even closer, but by then, they were pulling in and Katherine was stepping out. A squeal and gasp came from the boy as he was spun around. Dizzily, he shook his head and then he playfully stuck his tongue out at Katherine.

[French Polynesia]

Katherine nodded at his question. "Yes, I was a penny too. I did a very bad thing when I was out on the streets and poor. I didn't have a mommy or daddy before then and had to fight for food...and one of those fights...well," she shook her head. "I was sad but it was sometimes fun. I had parents all around the planet. We will be moving around a bit too if you like. Mommy has a few places where we can stay and we may stay with your brother's and your sister sometimes." She always made it a point of get her kids to know each other and grow as a family. But it would be the pair for a while.

She smiled as he stuck out his tongue. "Hey, not. supposed.to.do.that.to. mommy." She kissed him with each word before beaming, a placing him on her hips and letting his head rest on her chest. "I'll give you a quick tour." She led him out first to the private beach which has the yacht out there. A couple of people were out near the boat and waved. "You'll meet Dan and Sally later. They are in charge of the yacht and I have a small party on it in a week." She placed him on the sand and held his hand as she led him through the gardens, entering the house through the back. It had multiple swimming pools thought she doubted if he would like swimming, but she loved it and would spend hours in the hottub and the jacuzzi.

There was also a retro gaming room, a home projector with movies and a popcorn machine, a playground with soft floors where he could climb as much as he liked. Finally she led him to her office which had a big mahogany desk for her and a smaller one. On the walls there were a paddle and a yardstick, the corner had a penny stool with the microscopic prickly surface. "You will spend most of your time here. Studies is a big, big part of your life and you will be boring through hundreds of books. You will study them well or mommy will be using these across your bum." Katherine told him sternly.

"Oh." Nikki said, sounding rather sad that Katherine had no Mommy or Daddy at one time and had to fight for food. He understood her a little bit more in that moment. After the loss of his own parents and before he had been adopted, life had been a struggle for him, too. "Well, you're not sad now, right Mommy?" Gradually, his vocabulary kept lessening, more and more aligning with his age. The inquisitive way with which he spoke, though, told of all the potential still there, of all the knowledge waiting to be unlocked, and of all that Nikki now wanted to know. He was eager to know more about Katherine and the world around him, sussing it out for all possible details. He was perfect for Katherine's program.

Nikki giggled and wiggled on the spot as Katherine bent down to kiss him and then lift him up. The kisses and tone didn't align with the words, but obviously it was acceptable in this circumstance to stick his tongue out at her. In what circumstance would it not be? This was a boundary he was going to have to push. He wanted to find that line and cross it, but for now, he rested his head against Katherine as she carried him around. "Who're they? More siblings? No... I'm five." Nikki held up his hand and counted on his fingers, "Annie, Josh, Eric, Tony. Me. That makes five." The boy recounted the details and held his fingers up with each mentioned child, his strong memory showing in that moment. "When do I get to meet them? I've never had brothers and sisters before."

Back down on the ground, Nikki's brow furrowed just a bit. Katherine kept lifting him up and down a lot. It was yet another reminder of how small he now was. She held his hand and he felt a little frustrated. He didn't like feeling like he was so young that he couldn't be trusted by himself. He was still a big boy, wasn't he? He was going to have to push that boundary as well and see if he could shatter that line entirely! But his frustrations didn't boil over like last time as, instead, the boy was inundated with all sorts of new information about his home. The pools, the beach, the gaming room, the movie room, the playground, and finally the office.

"Oh, wow. That's a lot of books." Nikki then grinned, a sly little smile playing across his lips as he decided to boast, "I used to have a lot of books, too. I got a lot of them. Old books. Rare books. I-" Nikki held his tongue at that point, realizing he'd been about to outright say that he had stolen many books. The implication was still there, though, and the boy kept grinning proudly, happy to share his love of books with Katherine.

[French Polynesia]

"Not sad anymore now I have my baby boy with me." Katherine grinned, cuddling him. She was impressed with his memory, remembering his siblings. "No they aren't here right now. Well, Joshua lives around the neighborhood but he's usually out on the nearby planets. All of them are quite old, which means I will be rejuving them medically. Usually I try to turn them around your age and raise them myself if I can, helps them to get back to having fun. You may be having them as younger brothers sometime later." She grinned.

The boy seemed to be taking in his new surroundings. Her other pennies were usually blown away with the wealth on display but young Nikki was a wealthy man himself. Sure enough, he began to rattle off his books. "That's nice, mommy has a big library and I can read them to you..." She was beginning to say when his conversation strayed towards rare books.

She had read enough about the case to understand what he was insinuating. Her lips tightened a little but she kept her smile. "I don't have any rare ones, but I have a lot of books in the library." She led him to her library on the next room which was filled with row after row of books. "We can read together here." She bent down with her back turned to him. "Now come on, time for a piggyback ride." She grinned, letting him get on her.

Katherine lifter him up and rubbed her cheeks against his. "The library is right next to the bedrooms. Now with you, we will be sharing my room for the first cycle, at least for the first four years or so." She told him, leading him to the room. It was enormous with plenty of space and a huge four poster bed in the centre, a dressing room for Katherine and had a wooden floor, paintings all around, a rocking chair to the side next to the fireplace. "She carried him to the centre of the room and placed him on the bed. "Do you like the place?" She tickled him a little. His earlier quip was still in her mind, the fact that he showed a little hesitation meant she would get the first of his spankings out of the way. She was debating the severity of his punishment. He had been a sweet little boy for the most part but she always made the first time memorable.

Nikki was more and more shocked at how affectionate that Katherine was. It was rather welcome after what he'd been through in most of his life, dealing with a cold and emotionally distant person who mostly saw him as a tool first and a son second. This woman, though, was different. He was still a tool, but that was second in priority to Katherine; he was a son first and foremost. At least, that's what it seemed so far and he didn't know if he could handle that yet. Still, when the woman cuddled against him, he returned it, almost needily so at this point. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight whenever she hugged him.

"You know, I've never had a brother or sister before." Nikki said, before asking a curious question, "What's it like having one? Is it fun or is it bad?" Nikki asked these questions as he climbed up onto the woman's back and then set his hands on top of the woman's head as they started to walk into the library. "Wow... This place is big. That's so many books! We're going to read so much! Hey, maybe you can get some of the books I had, yeah? Then, you'll have even more, Mommy. You'll have to get a few more shelves, too!" Nikki wrapped his tail around her as they kept walking.

Then, they came to Katherine's room and once more Nikki grinned with excitement. "This room's even bigger than the one that I had!" He bent his head low and around to better look at Katherine, "I'm sleeping with you? Hmm, you better not snore, Mommy!" Nikki teased, snickering at his joke. "I'll have to poke your nose if you do!" Demonstrating this, Nikki reached around and poked Katherine right on the nose. "Boop! Like that!" The boy was completely unaware of what was about to come his way and that he'd be sleeping on his tummy with Mommy that night.

[French Polynesia]

Katherine loved to give piggyback rides- even to her older kids who are around forteen or fifteen. Pennies usually had their puberty delayed and they were just physically bigger but still not as heavy. Nikki would be her little boy for a long, long time and she was quite happy with that fact. She was starting to fall in love with her kitten the more he interacted with her.

"It's a lot of fun, having a brother and sister." Katherine told him as she carried him to her room. "You have someone your age to play with a lot. Mommy had a few brothers and sisters. But we would often get in trouble and that meant my flap was opened for bare buns toasting." She played with his dropseat, getting him a little prepared about his impending doom.

He laughed when he bopped her nose before pouncing on him and trapping him as she shook her head. "I snore quite a looottt!" She giggled, rubbing her nose against his before kissing his cheeks deeply, scooping him up an turning around so he lay on her bosom.

She looked into his eyes and gently stroked his face before tilting her head to focus on the bag next to her on the bed- the very same one Nikki had seen earlier with the implements. "Ah, Dan bought them here, excellent." She beamed, pulling it close with one hand and opening the bag. "Nikki, remember this?" She asked, still keeping a little contact with their skin as she held him. "We have to address your naighty life when you were a big boy." She said softly, Katherine's hands slowly moving to his flap and opening it, baring his cheeks to the cool air conditioned room.

Nikki was all smiles from the affection he was getting from Katherine. The kisses, the hugs, and her warm, comfy, soft body were all making the boy smile quite a bit, but that smile was quickly wiped off of his face as his attention was directed towards the bag on the bed. He recognized what bag it was immediately and remembered what was inside of it as well. His ears laid flat against his head and his tail pulled up between his legs as he started to whimper. If Katherine was drawing his attention towards the bag, then he knew what was coming and sure enough, she said as much a second later.

"Wait, please...!" Nikki said, grabbing onto Katherine with both of his hands. "I haven't done anything bad yet. I'll be good, I swear! I...!" Nikki squeaked as a hand went to his flap and opened it up, exposing his cheeks. He knew what was coming his way soon and his mother didn't seem to want to listen to his pleas. Instead of begging anymore, Nikki just buried his face into Katherine. He closed his eyes, shutting them tightly and pretending that he was somewhere else, not about to get spanked. If he shut them tight enough, maybe it'd come true.

Nikki'd never been spanked in his life before now. His first mother had never done it to him before she died and his second mother hadn't done it to him either, preferring more emotional or conventional punishments. Nikki had spent most of the trial building up in his head what being spanked was going to be like, sure that he was going to be found guilty - and he had been. He was sure that it was something that was going to hurt a lot.

[French Polynesia]

Katherine was quite used to the begging- she had been doing this for centuries. Nikki would learn soon enough that it never works, not with her. The little kitten looked suitability pitiful and Katherine wasn't one who didn't get her heartstrings pulled when he buried his face into her chest.

"Nikki. You know that this will happen, don't you. It is how naughty men and women who did lots of bad things get punished. I was a penny once, remember? Mommy knows how scared you can get. But you have been such a brave, sweet boy till.now and I want you to keep being that for me, won't you sweetie?" She gently tried to coax the little one to face her.

She would use force if she had to, of course. A trip over mommy's lap never came easily to her kids. She was strong enough to haul even older kids across her lap and whallop their backsides if they were obstinate. Katherine hoped Nikki wouldn't be like that the first time as she continued to rub behind his ears.
