No procrastination for disciplination (SilverLady)

[Mavrick the mutt]

The time was currently about 4:39 in the after noon and the boys of Procrastination Approximation were sitting in their tour bus watching “The road to El dorado” being relatively behaved compared to their usual rowdy and rough housing nature their Manager normally had to put up, this time however she’d managed to distract the group of teenagers with Netflix and popcorn. All four sets of eyes entranced in a deep focus as the movies played. Even Kade was sitting still which was practically impossible since he seemed to have endless energy at times.

Riley, who was the lead singer and sound checker had never imagined him and best friends would ever make it this far since all four came from pretty regular beginnings with the band just being something they did on the weekends at random bars and places....well that is until Jess came into their lives after stumbling upon them at some random place doing covers of other songs which was when their lives changed, but sometimes there were days when their egos got too big and would find themselves being firmly reminded of their place with some form of punishment. Of course thanks to their contract she had permission to punish them how she saw fit wether it be groundings, corner time, writing lines, or their least favorite and one that got the most fuss about in the beginning was a firm spanking since they all believed they were too old to have their backsides tanned. Regardless however, the boys all signed the agreements and contracts along with whatever else needed their signatures and sealed the deal...even if they all still pouted about the whole discipline bit.

Over the past year the boys have learned very well what actions earn what punishment depending on the severity with rough housing being an immediate tanning since they had a tendency to get a little too rough which was when things would escalate going from playful fighting to bruises and small cuts marking their bodies. Now despite having broken them of some of their habits like leaving the seat up, leaving trash around, and a few other little things she unfortunately has yet to be successful with breaking them of rough housing no matter how many times they get spanked....it just seemed to be something they were gonna do because boys were boys.

But behind all that Rowdy behavior they were very caring of one another, especially Elliot since he was the smallest and youngest member of their band and could often be found in either Riley or Milos bed during a thunderstorm since it was something he’d just always been scared of even when he was little. Fortunately neither young man seemed bothered by it and would welcome him into either of their beds with open arms, this had even been caught on a couple of clips in some of their vlogs.

That afternoon, Jess was sitting in the front of the tour bus, next to the driver, having a chat with the man, who was the only other "adult" around, and smoking one of her beloved cigarettes, puffing the smoke outside the open window.
She was the only allowed to smoke in there, since the driver of course couldn't smoke while driving because that would be very dangerous and, as for the four teens in the bus, well...they didn't have permission to touch a cigarette (nor weed or enything like that), and they knew that very well.
Alcohol was a delicate matter too, since she was not a fan of the drunk version of them.

Anyway, all seemed to be calm that day, since the boys were hypnotized by netflix and she was in a good mood... so what could go wrong, right?
Jessica was wearing a pair of very tight ripped jeans, showing off some skin on her thighs, a pait of boots and a black tank top. Her beloved leather jacket was hanging on a hook on the wall of the bus, far from the kids were watching TV.
She loved that jacket more than life and she would have killed anyone, to protect him, like she was always saying.
She had brought it many years ago and since everything had went perfectly fine in her life since then, she had decided that the jacket was her lucky charm.

-...so, do you really think that Nirvana are better than Queen?- the woman was telling to Mike, the driver -Come on, man. You're kidding me, i mean...- apparently there was a music debate going on between them, but both seemed to havgood time, "arguing" about their favorite bands.

[Mavrick the mutt]

While both Jess and their driver where up in the front of the bus debating about which bands were better the boys movie was coming to an end while they slowly started to “come back to life” as Mike often joked since they were usually dead silent when watching a movie (unless it’s a horror movie which Elliot often skips out on since he’s not a big fan), especially if it’s a Disney one.

Slowly the boys rubbed their eyes and had to think about where they were for a few seconds before remembering they were on their tour bus, that was about the time Riley reached down and pulled out his nerf gun and shot at his band mates.

“Holy shit!” Kade said a little startled after being struck in the shoulder with one of the foam bullets and grabbed a pillow to use as a shield while Milo and Elliot raced off the bed rooms and grabbed their own nerf guns. This of course resulted in all four boys sending foam bullets flying in every which direction which did result in a few close calls with shots that got to close to the eyes, then not even a few moments later one of the nerf bullets came flying to the front and struck the windshield without any of the boys even realizing it. Well that is until they swerved momentarily and ended up gets knocked on top of one another.

Nerf wars in the bus was a definite no, especially if it was moving because of things like that happening though luckily there had been no other vehicles on the road during that time.

“....You think we’re gonna get in trouble?” Elliot asked from where he laid pinned under Kade.

“....when are we not in trouble.” Riley grumbled as the four of them pushed themselves up to where they were standing. Riley of course crossing his arms over his chest as per usual.

“We just got in grounded last week after Milo broke the window with his shoe.” Kade pouted before being shoved a little by Milo

“Your fault for tackling me idiot.” Milo said while Elliot tossed his gun into the back room, he didn’t want to get in trouble.

“You’re the idiot....idiot.” Kade mumbled before rubbing the back of head after being smacked by the taller male. “Ow!...asshole.” He whined

[Silvery_Lady]

The very moment that that stupid piece of foam hit the windshield, making Mike lose control over the vehicle for a moment, Jess ended up against the side window and she hit her head against the wall, even if just slightly.
Her cigarette fell down outside, on the road, and that little detail pissed her off even more.
-Are you okay?- she asked to the man next to her, who nodded and then gave her an annoyed glance: Mike was used to deal with the boys' pranks and all the rest, but sometimes he was just whishing to kick them out the bus and to leave them on the side of the road, in the middle of no where, to teach them a lesson.

Once she had made sure that the driver was okay and that he had total control of the bus once more, the woman stood up and she quickly went to the back of the bus, holding the foam bullet in her hand, frowning.
One second later she was standing in front of them, with one hand on her hip, like an angry mom, and holding out the bullet for them to see it.
-I want to know who threw this.- she said, with the most stern voice -And i want to know it immediately, because whoever did it, is in big troubles, right now.- she then added, looking at them like if she was ready to eat them alive -Well?!-

A little part of her mind was pretty sure that, like most times, they would not just "hand over" the culprit, since they were pretty loyal among them...but another part of her, was hoping that they would start to accept their own responsabilities, someday.
-We already had this discussion, kids.- she went on scolding them, and using the work "kids" like every time she was mad at them, just to make them understand that in her eyes they were nothing but a bunch of bratty teens, not super famous and untouchable rockstars -You could have provoked a car accident!-

[Mavrick the mutt]

When Jess did come to the back of the bus she was greeted with the sight of all four boys standing there, as though they had already been expecting her arrival...as they had been as soon as the bus swerved. She then demanded to know who the foam bullet the belonged to...the only problem? None of the boys knew which gun in came from since they all had the same color bullets for their toy guns.

“I guess you’re out of luck Jess, none of us know who’s gun it came from, let alone know one went flying up there in the first place.” Riley said with slight annoyance in tone. “Maybe you should have thought about that when you were buying them.” He then mumbled under his breath.

The other three just gave a genuinely confused shrug referring her question...or more like demand about who’s bullet it was, though even if they did know it wasn’t like they’d give each other up because for the boys it was all for one and one for all.

“Honestly we have no clue.” Milo said having to tilt his head down slightly so he could look at her as she went onto scold them about how they could have caused a car accident...which in hindsight could have incredibly dangerous and resulted in serious injury or worse meaning they had gotten lucky....this time.

“You act like we do this stuff on purpose.” Kade sassed crossing his own arms much like Riley was doing.

Elliot of course was keeping his two cents out not wanting to dig himself into a bigger hole as they were already clearly in trouble with their manager.

[Silvery_Lady]

When the boys started to talk, Jess kept frowning more and more at every single word.
Of course they were trying to save their asses, literally, and they were playing the role of the poor little angels who had done nothing wrong, like most of the times they were in trouble with her.
Riley was being the usual sassy brat he always was, while Milo was trying to be polite.
Elliot, the younger one, was keeping his mouth shut (a very good idea, in Jessica's opinion) and Kade....well, Kade was the one who literally signed their sentence.

-Oh, really?- Jess asked him, now with the voice tone she used to use when she was about to explode, which often meant they were about to earn themselves a pretty hard punishment -You didn't do it on purpose?- she added, taking a couple of steps toward them veeeeeeeery slowly and in a veeeeeeeery threatening way -I remember it very clearly, i was standing right on this same spot, telling you that you should NOT play with those damn guns inside the bus when it's on the road, like one month ago. And still, you did it again.- she continued, her eyes shifting from one boy to another all the time -So now tell me again that it wasn't on purpose, come on. Maybe there is some invisible magic being forcing you to play with those stupid toys, uhm?-

Clearly she was now pretty mad at them and when she was starting to become sarcastic, it was never a good sign...
-Anyway, since apparently you don't know who did this, i guess that you all will get punished, like always.- she concluded after a second, with a very angry expression on her face -So now, as a start, i want you to go and pick up those guns. I want them here in a minute, they are confiscated, since you can't learn to play nice and to care about what you have around.- she informed them -Oh, and i've hit my head on the wall, by the way. Thanks for that, you brats.-

[Mavrick the mutt]

Despite Elliot’s playful nature he often tried his best to try and avoid getting into trouble with Jessica because well....he rather enjoyed being able to sit and not having to sleep on his stomach, but unfortunately it seemed Kade’s bit of attitude sealed their fate after he’d said it wasn’t like they did that kind of thing on purpose which seemed to be what had pushed the four of them onto cracking thin ice and was only a matter of time before it broke.

Kade’s body language then quickly changed going from defiance to slightly intimidated as woman started taking threateningly slow steps towards them cause them all to step back a little as she said she clearly remembered telling them not to play with their damned guns while the bus was moving barley a month ago and pointed out that they’d up and done it anyway as she looked from one boy to the other before getting to Elliot to completely adverted his gaze and moved behind Milo a little.

“....we..we didn’t intend to make the...the bus swerve like that.” Kade said rubbing the back of his neck seeming to have a little trouble getting his words out but it was kinda hard to talk when such an intense look on you.

The four then gave a pouty sigh when told that all four were going to be punished since none of them knew who’s bullet it was before telling them all to pick up the mess they’d made and hand over their guns since they couldn’t be responsible with them. She then called them brats and said that because of the stray bullet she’d hit her head. “.....m’sorry.” The youngest mumbled softly before they started cleaning up.

“....so fucking stupid.” Riley muttered as he and the other boys started picking up the bullets.

“......quit before you get us in deeper shit.” Elliot said sounding a little annoyed himself as he helped clean up the mess they made while Milo went and collected the guns putting them in the basket.

After about five or so minutes the boys had gotten the mess cleaned up and stuck the bullets into the basket along with their toy guns and just watched as she put them up.

[Silvery_Lady]

Jessica stood there to make sure that they would do as they were told, staring at them like an annoyed parent would do while dealing with some unruly children, so sadly for Riley, she heard him cursing, even if he was muttering to himself.
And so the leader of the band earned himself a sharp slap on the back of his neck, something that she was used to do pretty often, when they were sassy with her.
-If i were you, i would watch my mouth, kiddo.- she scolded him, more or less while Elliot turned to him too, to tell him to keep quiet or he would worsen their current situation.
Jess had started to see them more like baby brothers than anything else, so at that point she was pretty at ease disciplining them when needed... and oh, they were in need of some discipline VERY often!

So, once the boys were finally done with their little "chore", picking up all those foam bullets and putting them in a basket along with the guns, the adult took the basket and she put it away inside a cupboard.
-You don't have permission to take them out of there, do you hear me?- she said to them -If i catch you playing with them again, you won't sit down for days, i'm warning you.- she then added, promising them a good spanking if they should disobey.

-Now, i want you all to go to Mike and to apologize, you've scared him. He's the most patient driver i've ever met in my life, i would have dropped you long time ago, in his place.- she continued, since apparently their punishment was not just to have the guns confiscated -And you will have no treats during the whole week end.- she informed them, with a stern voice -No candies, no soda, no chips, no nothing. You need to learn to be more responsible and since you act like children, i'll treat you like ones.-

And with that, Jess seemed to be done.
It was friday afternoon, so she had just sentenced them to two days and a half of grounding, with no treats of any kind, like many other times in the past few months.

[Mavrick the mutt]

Riley jumped a little and rubbed the back of his neck as he glared at their manager after she’d slapped the back of his neck for swearing and wanted him to watch his mouth, the oldest member then turned his glare to Elliot who told him quit before he got them in more trouble. Of course that particular glare caused the baby of the band to take a step away from Riley and instead move a little closer to Jess before he resumed cleaning up with the rest of the boys until they were finished and placed both the bullets and guns in a basket that was soon put up in a cupboard.

The four then listened as they were told that they were not allowed to have their guns and that they would be severely punished if she caught them disobey the warning, “....Yes Jess.” They all answered at same time with the usual pouty/annoyed tones.

She then told the boys that she wanted them to all go and apologize to their bus driver Mike since they’d scared him and still put up with them despite their shenanigans. Of course it seemed their punishment wasn’t over just yet as she went onto telling them that they were grounded from any sweets which included candy, chips, or even soda which of course was met with a mound of protest since that was all they really had on the bus aside from noodle cups and a few other things.

“C’mon that’s stupid, we don’t have much else on the bus.” Kade whined while the others nodded since it was kinda true, not to mention they haven’t stopped a store for a while to restock on things.

“....we haven’t stopped at a store for some time, we’re pretty much left with chips and candy and stuff.” Elliot said looking at her with his soft forest green eyes.

[Silvery_Lady]

Jessica rolled her eyes when they protested about the grounding, like they used to do every single time.
-Do you think i'm an idiot or what?- she asked them -I'm not planning to make you starve, we'll be in town in half an hour. The bus needs gas, i need a good coffee and of course we'll stop to buy food and other stuff.- she informed them -But you will eat healthy stuff this week end, no junk food of any kind. I'll go with you to buy groceries, so i'll make sure that you will obey me.- she concluded.

Said that, the woman lifted her right arm and she pointed out with her index finger toward the head of the bus, where Mike were.
-Now go and apologize, loud and clear. I want to hear you.- she ordered to them again -Scoot!- she added, not wanting them to waste more time or to try and talk their way out of it again.

She was the kind of person who had only one word and when she decided something, it was impossible to make her change her mind... especially when she was disciplining them!
