The Wedgie Park

Part 5: The Competition

"It's been hours... Where is that hotel?" said Alice to herself. It was pitch black outside and she could barely see. It was getting cold and she was getting tired of walking around aimlessly in her undies. She felt so vulnerable. "I should probably find somewhere to camp until the morning. It's dangerous to walk alone at night," she thought to herself. Her eyes started to get droopy. She almost fell asleep, but was woken by a harsh tug on her underwear. "Ow..." she muttered, too tired to react too much. Her underwear was twisted around her and secured over her head. She teared up as her undies went up her crack, and she had no idea who was doing it. "S-stop..." she moaned as she was dragged into a building. She tried to escape, but wasted the rest of her energy and fell asleep in her wedgie.

When Alice woke up, she found herself in a fully enclosed room with a small trapdoor on the ceiling, low enough for her to reach. "W-where am I??" she said. She realized she was still in the wedgie and tried to wriggle out of it, but to no avail. Her arms and legs were tied up in it. She was completely helpless and couldn't move, so she did the one thing she could do. "HELP!!!" she screamed. Almost immediately, the trapdoor unlocked and opened.

"Hey," a voice said. Alice looked up and saw a guy about her age at the other side of the opened trapdoor. "Let me out!!" yelled Alice. "Sure," he said. Alice calmed down. He was more easy going than she expected. He helped her up and got her out of the wedgie, then led her to a door. "Is this the exit?" she asked. "Oh, no," he responded. "The park needs you for the event." "What event?" asked Alice. "I dunno. An event?" the guy said. "I'm Oliver, by the way." Alice looked through the door window and saw a large platform hoisted high above the ground. She couldn't see the floor from where she was. "I did not sign up for this," said Alice. "Don't worry, it'll be quick," said Oliver. "I think." Alice looked around for an exit, but the door was the only way she could go.

"Can't you find someone who... wants to do this?" Alice asked. Oliver absent-mindedly stared out the window, then came back to his senses. "Oh, uhh... no sorry." He opened the door and motioned for her to go in. She decided there was nothing else she could do and obeyed. Once she stepped through the door, she saw a huge crowd far below her. She couldn't hear herself over the indistinct voices. She looked around her. The walls looked flexible and were striped red and white, curving near the top. It was almost like she was in some sort of... "Circus?" she said to herself, confused. The platform she was on started to lower and the audience grew quiet.

"Hello, everyone!" a voice from the speaker announced. "Welcome to the annual Wedgie Challenges!" Alice's eyes widened. It was then that she noticed a gap in the tent. She looked through it and saw The Wedgie Park. "I'm back here?!" she yelled. The announcer started speaking again. "In this event, the participants will have to endure several wedgie-related challenges. There will be tests of balance, endurance, and skill!" Alice looked to her left and saw another confused person, and Carina. "These three contestants," the announcer continued. "will compete for $10,000!" "What??" yelped Alice and the other contestant. "The challenges will start in 5 minutes! Why don't you contestants get to know each other?" Carina looked Alice in the eyes, making her blush. The other contestant walked up to her. "Hi, I'm Taylor," they said. "What's your name?" "Alice," said Alice quietly, walking toward Carina.

"H-hi, Carina!" said Alice nervously. "Hello there!" Carina said. "Excited?" Alice shivered at the large crowd. "Y-yeah," she lied. Carina chuckled. "Hehe, you're cute," she said. Alice blushed. "Alright, contestants!" the speaker announced. "Let's not waste any more time! The first challenge is to survive the longest in a hanging wedgie!" Before Alice knew it, her underwear was connected to a hook and she was lifted into the air. A robotic arm grabbed her ankles. "If you want to get down, just tell us. But if you do, you'll be eliminated from the challenge! Every 5 minutes, your legs will be pulled down further. The last person standing gets a point! Good luck, contestants!" Alice looked down. The floor was at least 30 feet away. "This is gonna be a long day..." she muttered.
