Title: "Once on Top"
The fluorescent lights of the high school gymnasium buzzed above, bathing the scene in a harsh glow that only exacerbated Blake and Courtney’s mortification. Courtney's once-flawless makeup had given way to smeared eyeliner and a flushed face, while Blake's broad shoulders now slumped in the most unathletic posture he'd ever adopted. The signs strapped to their chests were cartoonish and patronizing, rendering the former power couple into nothing short of a twisted parody.
“Hey, do you remember these two?” Shelly’s voice rang out, cutting through the din of conversations around the buffet table. She stood beside John, who was carrying a diaper bag that belonged more in a nursery than at a high school reunion.
The crowd turned as one, the collective memory of the students instantly recalled. Laughter erupted like fireworks, a symphony of payback that had been long awaited by all those present. For years, Blake and Courtney had tormented their peers, ruling the school with an iron cheerleading pompom and a football helmet.
Today, they were paying the price.
“Well look what we have here,” said Lucy, a former classmate and one of their many past victims. She sauntered up to Blake with a smug smile, gently tweaking his cheek in a mock-friendly gesture. “Aren't you just an adorable little baby?” Blake muttered a curse under his breath, which promptly earned him a pacifier shoved into his mouth by John.
“Use your adult words, Blake,” John drawled, his tone dripping with condescension as he leaned in, “Oh wait, you can’t.”
Courtney cringed, restraining her tears was futile. The very people she once terrorized were now treating her like an overgrown toddler. It was unreal. Yet here they were, in frilly tutus, bonnets, and overwhelmingly infantile attire. Every glance exchanged between them and their former classmates carried a mixture of horror and resigned acceptance.
As if the night couldn't get any worse, John clapped his hands for attention, summoning silence. “Listen up, folks! As you all know, tonight is special for Courtney and Blake. And to celebrate, we’re giving anyone who wants the chance to spank, bounce, or feed our precious little crybabies.”
A gasp rippled through the room, followed by a murmur of excitement. The proposition was irresistible. Sarah, one of their former cheer squad members who had suffered silently under Courtney’s reign, was the first to volunteer. She hoisted Courtney onto her knee and forced her to drink from a pink baby bottle. The sweet formula tasted bitter on Courtney's pride, but she endured it, her eyes casting downward in sheer defeat.
Lastly, John and Shelly unveiled their pièce de résistance—a twin baby pram. The high school gym filled with a flurry of whispers and suppressed laughter. Courtney and Blake struggled uselessly as they were strapped into the pram side by side. The indignity was complete. Shelly leaned in, planting an exaggeratedly sloppy kiss on each of their cheeks, while John cranked a wind-up mobile until "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" jingled hauntingly in the background.
“Look at the precious widdle babies,” cooed Shelly, swinging a makeshift rattle in front of them. “It's way past your beddy time.”
The gym exploded in laughter and applause, the delight of poetic justice reverberating off the walls. As Courtney and Blake were paraded out of the reunion, adults who had once feared and dreaded them now leaned in to coo and tease, delivering gentle, punitive spanks or feeding them bottles with gleeful abandon.
Time had a funny way of equalizing past transgressions. And as the high school reunion came to a close, every former student in attendance felt, for the first time, truly empowered. Amid the laughter and jeers, Monica—once the shy girl harassed into near invisibility—raised her glass.
“To justice!” she proclaimed, and for once, Blake and Courtney found themselves the unwilling guests of their own inescapable downfall.
As the twin pram rolled away into the night, the sound of a lullaby and mocking coos still ringing in their ears, they realized this was more than a humiliating episode. It was a permanent shift—a reminder that even the mightiest could be brought down by those they once underestimated. And the world felt a little bit better balanced tonight.

Prompt: Back in high school, Courtney and Blake were the all American couple. She was the captain of the cheer team while he lead the football team to state. They were also the school’s biggest bullies and never let anyone forget that they were on top. They married not long after high school but quickly peaked. Both found themselves at the mercy of another couple they bullied, ones who had been smart enoguh to go to college and had a business. Shelly and John took them in, but the condition was they became their little babies. They wear diapers, have to crawl everywhere, be fed bottles and are humiliated in public every chance they get. They’re forced to attend their high school reunion in diapers, frilly tutu, bonnets and wearing signs saying: Precious immature widdle cutsie princces schnookums crybabys. John slaps a pacifier in their mouth when they try to curse the people at the reunion and anonnce that everybody can spank or bounce Blake and Courtney and feed them bottles. People coos at Blake and Courtney call them humiliating baby nicknames, and pinch their cheeks or force them to drink from their baba on the knee from the people. But the most humiliating is that John and and Shelly strap them in a twin baby pram sayin that it's way over babys beddy times, and then gives them a big sloppy patronizing kiss on the cheek and turn on the baby mobile lullaby while all the other at the reuinon laughs cheering and coooc at Blake and Courtney in the pram.
