After a few moments, Mei has an answer.
“No. We can’t and we won’t,” she says, cleanly. “Let’s just break it, go our separate ways, and never talk about this again.”
“Come on Mei!” You shout, beyond frustrated at her stubbornness. You throw your hands up in the air, only to notice Mei’s gaze lock on to the pendulum and her whole expression begin to dim. Your body quivering, you lower the pendulum to her eye level and swing it ever so slightly, and within just a few moments, she’s completely under your spell. In no way did you mean to do this to her, but here you are…with Mei at your mercy. You so badly want to just release her and try and keep arguing, but the temptation to make her agree is just too great…
“Mei…” you say, almost afraid. “I’m someone you would always agree with.”
“You…you are…” she murmurs, her resistance mute but strong. “You are someone I’d…n-never agree…”
With no turning back, you start to swing the pendulum faster, taking a page out of Gordon’s book. “I am someone you would always agree with.”
Mei’s face begins to loosen up. “You…you’re someone I’d…a-always…um…”
Happy to see her will breaking, your joy is cut short once you feel a warm feeling wash over your entire body. For just a moment, it feels like you are aging your body changing, growing taller and heavier, taking on the form of an adult. However, you brush this feeling off; after all, you’ve always been a couple years older than Mei. She never respected your seniority since she was still nearly as smart as you, hence why you need her to see you as someone she’d agree with.
“It’s alright Mei,” you say, calmly. “I’m someone you would always agree with.”
To your delight, Mei relaxes further, nearly giving in. “You…you’re someone I would…would always…always…”
To your surprise, you now notice that instead of being in your house, you two are in a classroom! Noting your clothing change to more formal wear, you’re confused for just a moment before it hits you: you’re Mei’s calculus teacher. She’s always respected your knowledge and wisdom, given how you graduated from MIT a year early, became a high school teacher at just 21, and are currently pursuing your master’s degree. Mei saw you as a great role model, but it always frustrated you how she would sometimes go against your judgment. She was your protégé, a reflection of your mind. You needed her to always agree with you; after all, a woman like you always knew what was best for a young prodigy.
“Follow my lead, dear,” you tell your little savant. “I’m someone you would always, always agree with.”
At last, she slumps forward, gazing at you with nothing but pure admiration. “Yes Ms. Romano…you’re someone I’d always agree with…”
At the sight of her submitting completely, you can’t help but reach up your skirt to take the edge off, failing to notice your previously modest formal wear morph into a more revealing, sensual ensemble. Mei was…your secret lover. Like you once were, she was a brilliantly talented young woman, and you were going to guide her intellectually and sexually, priding yourself on teaching her all you could in both respects. She never would disagree with you, as you always knew best. She happily let you put her under trance with the magic pendulum you found, and you loved seeing her so helpless, so malleable under its spell. You release her after a few more moments, smiling wide.
“Well, Mei, how did it feel?” You ask her in your sultry, soothing voice.
“Ms. Romano, it was…incredible…” she replies, leaning in for a deep kiss. “Never would I ever disagree with you. You are an incredible…teacher…”
