I slept well, and awoke with the scent of grilled lamb chops. I had a look outside and saw by the pool Uncle Amias flipping burgers on a large barbecue while Aunty Angelina was setting up a buffet with a huge salad. Their girls were wearing jeans shorts, and I knocked on Loulou's door and shouted, "Rise and shine!" Then I had a quick shower and also dressed with jeans shorts.
I joined our adopting American family by their pool and apologized for having slept till 11 am. "Loulou will be down in five minutes."
Uncle Amias queried, "Loulou?"
"Yes, Louise is called Loulou and am called Babette instead of Elisabeth."
Aunty Angelina chimed, "We also have nicknames for our girls, Belinda is 'the naughty one' or Belle, and Lilla is Lala or Lilly."
She also added, "Or our best behaved girl!"
Belinda laughed and asked, "Who's the naughtier one?"
Loulou had joined us and chanted, "Babette! Three fessées this last month!"
I blushed, and Belinda gave me high five!
We helped our friends with clearing up after the barbecue and Lilla announced, "We are awaited at the Russel Stars' clubhouse for your welcome party, and we have to change into something more formal such as school skirts for you and cheer team uniform for us..."
On the curbside in front of the house was an old 4 doors Jeep convertible. "What kind of cars have you got back home?"
"I have a classic chick car, a Beetle convertible."
Loulou added, "I have a very French Citroen Deux Cheveaux."
I echoed, "She's such a snob! The Deuche is no longer produced, and a good reconditioned one costs as much as a new WV!"
We parked in front of the Russel Stars Clubhouse. It was a two floor building with colonnades on each side of the double door entrance. Inside, after a vestibule it was a grand hall and the whole team was in uniforms and assembled with its coaches. We were impressed! A team of eighteen girls when back home our team is only twelve. We were honored by the French tricolor standing along side the lone star flag and the Russel Stars pennant.
A G.I. Jane like lady welcomed us, "Bienvenue, I am the head coach, and these are my assistants..." A tall girl from the team stepped forward, "...and this is Veronica the team captain. "There's no tryout as you were scouted, and your team won the French national as well as the EU championship a year ago."
She observed a few seconds of silence with a huge teasing smile. Belinda and Lilla were giggling as well as a number of girls. We were quite curious of what was next...
G.I. Jane added, "You have to be baptized before you are allowed to wear the Russel Stars' uniform. According to our tradition it is for our latest newbie to be doing the honor. Abigail please step forward."
With a purposefully wicked smile she pulled from behind her back a big old fashion school paddle decorated with silver stars. We silently mouthed ohs and ahs.
"Elisabeth and Louise please kiss Miss Paddle." Abigail presented it to us and we respectfully kissed it.
"Now Miss Paddle will return your greetings with kissing your butts! Drop your shorts, keep your hands on your knees, Abigail please spank them !"
"WHACK"
"OUCH!!"
"And another one for good measure !"
"CRACK"
"OUCH!!!!"
That paddle had a fierce bite although Abigail didn't have the swing of a tennis star. I watched Loulou, saw that she was still in position and not rubbing. I also remained in position and resisted the urge to rub my fiery bum.
Miss G.I. Jane laughed, "Rub your butts silly Stars!"
This new Russel Star rubbed her bottom with another convincing, "OUCH!"
Then she told us. "There's only two such old paddles at Russel, one with the College's Principal and one with me. Although you are, if warranted, liable to have both of them applied to your nates, we usually first use a belt."
I couldn't figure if that was a blessing...
She sternly added, "Every month I will review your scholarly assessment. If you have less than 70% you will be punished in front of the team, and contrary to today it will be on the bare!"
We blushed and I gulped.
Then we were both given a team sports bag with our uniforms and ordered to change, "The locker room is this way."
In the bag we discovered sports bra, ankle and knee socks, all white. There was several uniforms with pleated or straight skirts or very short shorts. They were white with red and blue trimmings, or blue with white and red trims. The knickers or panties as they call them in the USA were white or red or blue. We had seen that today the team was wearing the white uniform and dressed similarly.
We returned to the assembly hall. Miss Coach slowly walked around us inspecting our uniforms. She raised our skirts and saw that we were wearing red knickers matching our well reddened derrieres. She ordered, "Abigail turn around and lift your skirt to show them your panties."
We saw that she was wearing red knickers and breathed a sigh or relief. It was a short one! G.I. Jane bellowed, "Girls with red butts wear white knickers! Go and change! Double quick! We want to see what you can do."
We ran and changed...
