"Aww, look at you," Alexis held up the magazine featuring her favorite celebrity, and one of her most celebrated slaves. "So provocative, so alluring, so powerful. If the world only knew..."

Lowering her favorite magazine cover, Mistress Alexis enjoyed the sight of a blushing Taylor, giggling in a light trance nearly from just being in her hypnotic mistress's presence. 

"If the world only knew what happens when you...listen to my voice," turning her voice to the hypnotic frequency Taylor tuned into as often as she could (and was allowed), Alexis loved seeing her effect up-close and personal. No overwhelming media exposure bore images of that famous face easing every muscle until she was limp and relaxed, the only effort on her part made was to smile, to show Alexis how much she wanted, needed what was happening to her.

SNAP "Wake up for me."

Taylor blinked herself awake, smiled at Alexis with pouting lips, complaining about leaving trance in the cutest way possible.

"Still trying to be the cutest brat in the world, eh?"

"Trying?" Taylor laughed, and her Mistress joined in.

"That's true, I have to allow you to be a brat in the first place. You'd much rather be...whatever I want you to be."

Pouting again, her lips quivered a little as a hidden suggestion took hold. "True, I do want that. And what would Mistress like now?"

"Whiteboards are remarkable."

Taylor knew she was supposed to laugh, but the only reaction Alexis received was a raised eyebrow.

"In case you missed it, I wanted a captive audience," Alexis informed.

"Need a captive joke, first. And an original one too."

"Okay, try this one.
Knock knock."

The singer tried to keep from groaning playfully. "Who's there?"

"Invisible gag"

"Mmmmmmph mmph mph"

"Heh, better," Alexis laughed even harder and the cute whining.

"If only Time could see you now, and wonder you made millions being silent with only suggestive restrictions. If only Time knew that you could be leveled by a single voice like you level millions with yours. 

A pocket watch lowered between the two beautiful faces, capturing Taylor's full attention as it started swinging.
"Time must've been going back and forth about their decision on who should be its Person of the Year. Just back and forthhh....back and forthhhh....back....and forthhh....not knowing what to do, simply stuck in the back...and forth.....so willing to listen, so ready to obey. So ready to consider Mistress Alexis the funniest joke teller in the world....staring now!" SNAP

Taylor awoke, confused all of a sudden, even though Alexis provided enough stability and clarity.

"I'd like to thank sidewalks for keeping me off the street."

Anyone within earshot of Taylor's dressing room would've heard a hilarious eruption, most getting used to the singer new-found love for the comedy of her newest, funniest friend.
