When they arrived home, Niall ordered Jeni up to his bedroom. She went up the stairs, groaning loudly, but didn't know where Niall's bedroom was. So she went into the first bedroom that she found, closed the door and flopped down on the bed.

Ten minutes later, she was asleep, and Niall was ready to go into the bedroom.

He walked in, and found no Jeni.
"Jennifer?"

"JENNIFER?"

There was no answer, so Niall went downstairs.

"Have any of you seen Jeni?"

Harry looked up from where he was showing Jas how to set up her new MacBook. "No, she was in your room wasn't she?"

"Well she's not there now," Niall replied.

"She probably got lost," Jas said. "Dumbass." She clicked in Harry's face and pointed to the screen. "You're helping me dude."

"Don't be rude, little miss," he replied. "Click on that."

Niall went into the kitchen, where Liam was making a smoothie.

"Have you seen Jeni?"

"No mate, I haven't," Liam replied.

Niall sighed, and then said to Liam, "Cover your ears."

Turning, he called, "BOYS!! GIRLS! FAMILY MEETINIG!"

Everyone headed toward the living room, and sat on the couches.

"What's up?"

"Jeni's missing."

"YOU LOST OUR SISTER?" shrieked Jas.

"Wait... where's Alicia?"

"She's asleep," Liam replied.

"Right... anyway, Jeni's gone."

"Let's go then," Harry said. "I'll take Jas and we'll go look for her near the park. Zayn and Lou, you guys go the opposite way. Liam and Niall, you stay here and look after Alicia. Kid, grab some shoes and let's go."

Jas, assuming she was the kid, slipped on her new Vans and waited by the front door.

Harry sprinted up the stairs and into his room, grabbing car keys, his phone and his shoes. He turned around and saw his bed moving.

"What the hell?" he whispered to himself. He kneeled on the bed and leaned over, gently pulling the sheet back.

And then he laughed.

He left his room and went to the top of the stairs.

"Guys, it's alright, I found her!"

"Where is she?" Niall asked.

"She's in my room, asleep. Don't wake her up, Ni."

"If you stay in there and send her to me when she wakes up, then I'll let her sleep."

He agreed, and brought Jas and the MacBook into his room.



A few minutes later, Jeni stirred and woke up.

"Hello, sleepyhead," Harry said. "This is actually my room. Niall said that when you wake up, you need to go to his room – want me to take you?"

Jeni nodded and rolled out of the bed onto the ground; standing up, she followed Harry to Niall's room.

Harry left and called out to Niall, who came straight away.

"Hello, Jennifer," he said.

"Hello, Lucas," she replied.

"My name isn't Luke," he said.

"Well if you insist."

"Anyway, you know why we're here, so I suggest you tell me what you did wrong, and ask for your punishment."

"Um, no, that's not happening," Jeni replied. "I'm not bloody asking you. If you want to hurt me, just get it over with so I can get on with my life. As comfortable as your bed is, I'm getting bored."

Niall sat next to her on the bed. "You know I'm not doing this to hurt you, right?"

"Then why the fucking hell are you doing it?"

"Because you misbehaved, and you need to learn."

"What? That whenever someone bigger than me decides to hurt me, they can? Sorry honey, but I already know that."

"Jennifer, you know that's not true."

"Isn't it? Then why is my ass about to get torn up?"

"For one thing, watch your language, for another, it isn't going to get torn up. I won't do that, I know when to stop."
"Yeah, whatever Luke, that's what they all say. You didn't answer my question."

"My name isn't Luke."

"Just answer the goddamn question."

Niall looked at her for a while. "What was the question again?"

"If it's not true that I get hurt when somebody stronger than me decides that I should, then why are you about to beat my butt?"

"Because it's what's best for-"

"No. Don't feed me that bullshit."
"You're getting a spanking because I said so, damn it!" Niall burst out.

"See?" Jen smirked. "That's what I thought."

"Look Jennifer, you're not getting out of this."

"Let's do it then. I'm not asking."

"Fine, this time. In future, if I tell you to, you will."

Niall soon had the girl over his lap.

"You" SMACK "Do not" SMACK "Throw tantrums" SMACK SMACK SMACK!

Jennifer was uncomfortable, sure, but not in a great deal of pain.

Niall continued. SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!

Jennifer wriggled a bit.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

"Ow!"

Niall continued, landing five more hard smacks, before stopping and letting the girl up. He held out his arms, but of course Jen ignored him. She stood with her arms folded, staring at the door.

"Jennifer, come here," Niall asked, reaching for her. She ignored him, so he leaned over and rubbed her shoulder.

"Don't touch me," she responded. Stepping away, she said, "I'm leaving."

She stalked out the door, leaving Niall; as she walked away he heard her call, "Jasi, Licia, my room now. Family meeting, or whatever the fuck it's called."
