NOTE:This story is based on the Wonder Woman TV series w/Lynda Carter, and takes place in MODERN America. There's bondage, tickling, and some other stuff thrown in. I was inspired by the "Perils of Batgirl" series. Enjoy! WONDER WOMAN:THE PUPPETMASTER Chapter 1 "Well, the weekend's finally here. What will you be doing, Diana?" asked Harold Farnum. "Quite a lot, actually. I'm meeting two friends, Michelle Sutton and Emily Johansen and spending the weekend at a resort hotel that Michelle inherited. It's off the coast of Maryland so it isn't too far a drive." replied Diana Prince. "It's still pretty cold out. Will you be able to go swimming?" asked Harold. "Well, we'll see." smiled Diana. "How about you?" "I'm working extra hours to crack this new case. Some high priced diamonds have been stolen from various merchants, despite some of the best surveillance systems and security. You'd have to be a few inches tall to penetrate the laser beam alarm system on some these places." replied Harold. "Mmmm, that sounds tough. Well, I'm off. Take care, Harold." said Diana as she left IADC headquarters. * * * Hours later Diana Prince, Michelle Sutton, and Emily Johansen arrived at the Nolout Inn, a medium sized resort hotel that rested near the shores of Maryland. It was remarkably secluded and isolated, making it an ideal vacation site. "Here we are." smiled Michelle. "I have the keys, let's go." The three entered and started to unpack. "You'll love this place, Diana." said Emily. "This place has a small indoor beach and pool so we don't have to worry about the weather." "Is that so?" smiled Diana. "I think I'll have to give it a try later tonight." "You go ahead. I'll join you two in a while; I need to check on some last minute things." said Michelle as she put on her white spandex bathing suit and left. A former gymnast, Michelle was of a medium height with very short dark brown hair and light blue eyes, and had an athletic figure and muscle tone. Emily, on the other hand, was a petite young woman with shoulder length blonde hair that wore in a ponytail, and had changed into a pink swimsuit. "I'll be with you in about 15 minutes, Diana. I want to call home first to make sure everything is okay." said Emily as started dialing the phone. "Okay, I'll see you two soon." smiled Diana as she put on her black two piece bikini and left the room. * * * From an airvent a harlequin dressed doll noticed the three young women in the room, and spied the general area where they were going. Soon after Diana left, the harlequin doll left and ran down the airduct, reaching the attic storage area of the resort, where its master, an animated "Good Guy/Best Friend Cecil doll awaited. Dressed in overalls and possessing the appearance of a modified cabbage path doll, Cecil awaited the return of his spy. "It's about time you came back. What's up?" asked Cecil. Using sign language and gestures, the harlequin doll described what it saw to Cecil. "So, three women...one's checking the other rooms, one went to indoor beach, and the other is still in the room where you first came. Hmmm. I think I have an awfully nasty idea...." smiled Cecil as he rubbed some stolen diamonds in his hands. "I wouldn't want them to discover our...unique operation here so we will have to subdue them." Cecil then opened a small case, where other puppets awoke and stood ready for orders. "Okay, here's the game plan. Strongarm, take care of the tall sexy brunette who went to indoor beach. Harlequin, bring the blonde to me, and you three cowboy dolls take care of the athletic brunette wandering the hallways. Capish?" ordered Cecil. With smiles on the faces, the dolls and puppets nodded and set out to their tasks, acquiring some extra "items" for their mission, ranging from several feet of silk rope to a handkerchief lightly coated with ether, and even a shovel. * * * Diana Prince made her way through the long line of corridors and hallways, reaching the indoor beach and pool. It was a breathtaking sight, seeing a small pool and beach complete with temperature control, tropical flora, and indoor lighting. Laying a towel on the ground, Diana laid on her stomach and rested, enjoying the quiet peace the serenity provided. From a rear exit the strongarm puppet arrived, an 8 inch tall puppet with a pin sized head and large arms. Slowly, stealthy, it snuck up on the resting Diana Prince. Leaping onto her arms, strongarm quickly placed the handkerchief coated with ether onto Diana's nose and mouth. "Wha- MMMPH!" cried out Diana as her eyes suddenly lit up and closed as she fell asleep. The strongarm puppet then procured the shovel it brought along, and quickly dug a small trench-like pit that was a couple feet deep. The strongarm puppet then grabbed Diana's sleeping body, placing her in the pit where only her head and feet stuck out of the pit. The strongarm puppet began filling the pit with sand, burying Diana in it until only her feet and head stuck out. With a smile the strongarm puppet moved behind Diana's feet, and began tickling them. Diana stirred with an occasional wiggle of her toes to the stimulation. "Unnnnh? Hey! What the-!" exclaimed Diana as she looked at the sand trap she was in. "I can't move!" The strongarm puppet continued its tickling. "AH! No! Stop that! AHAHA! NO! AH! AH! OH! OH!" laughed Diana as she started kicking to try to get out of the sand, with no such luck. "Oh God! I'm trapped and can't move!" giggled Diana. * * * Michelle was checking room to room for any last minute maintenance problems that needed to be addressed. Arriving at one of the prime suites, Michelle entered and flicked on the lights, checking the drapes and furniture. From a broken heating vent, three cowboy dolls crawled out. One leaped onto a table, and flicked the light switch off. Michelle turned around. "Who's there?" assertively said Michelle. Walking forward toward the bed, Michelle stepped into a lasso laying on the floor which tightened, binding her feet together at her ankles. Tripping, Michelle feel foward onto the bed. "Yee-haw! Yip, yip, yippee!" yelled out the three cowboys dolls as they jumped onto the bed, grabbing Michelle's hands and tying them behind her back. "Get off me!" yelled Michelle as she struggled. The cowboys continued, wrapping silk ropes tightly around her arms and legs, binding them together. A light sweat glistened off of Michelle's slender muscles as she struggled to break free, only to have more ropes wrapped around her by the dolls. Minutes later, Michelle was on her back with her hands bounds behind her back, arms pinned at her sides, and legs and feet bound together with her body strapped to the bed. "Unnnh! Unnnnh! They've tied me up! Unnnh!" said Michelle as the cowboy dolls turned the lights back on to see Michelle struggling to get loose. * * * Meanwhile, Emily had just finished talking on the phone. Hanging up, Emily started her way to the door only to be tripped up by a harlequin doll. Emily feel to the floor, and the harlequin doll quickly hit her on the back of the head with a book, stunning her temporarily. "What....what's going on here?" asked a stunned Emily as the harlequin doll revealed a ball of string. Placing Emily's arms at her sides and legs and feet together, the harlequin tied her up with the string, wrapping her up tightly from her shoulders to her ankles. "Unnnh! I can't move!" exclaimed Emily when she regained her bearings as the harlequin puppet with some other dolls carried her out the door. "Untie me! Where are you taking me? Somebody help!" yelled Emily. * * * The strongarm puppet continued tickling Diana's feet, forcing Diana into hysterical laughter. Buried in the sand, Diana couldn't move. "NO! E-HEE-HEE-HEE! DON'T TICKLE MY FEET! PLEASE!" laughed Diana. "Stop! Ah! AH! AH!" giggled Diana. "Help!" exclaimed Diana. TO BE CONTINUED DIANA, MICHELLE, AND EMILY....CAPTURED BY THE EVIL DOLL CECIL!
