"...and so as you can see," Carly's mother concluded, "I've just no idea what to get for Carly's birthday."
The eight men around the table nodded their heads thoughtfully. It was indeed a conundrum.
Carly was confident that the Council would be able to solve the problem. They were, after all, the wisest men in the city. They normally spent their time on more pressing matters - politics, legal matters, the budget - but Carly's husband was a politician, and she'd leveraged his name to get into the meeting.
"What about a pony?" one of the Councilmen suggested, but the others pooh-pooh'd him immediately.
"In the city?"
"Ridiculous!"
"She doesn't even like dogs."
There was a long silence as the men thought, and Carly's mother shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
She knew that it was a *silly* matter, compared to what these men were used to dealing with, but she'd been racking her brain for six months, and there was nothing else she could think to do. Her daughter had it all - a loving boyfriend, friends at school, a car, every outfit she wanted. Her father's job meant that she could travel anywhere she wanted to go, and she'd already been accepted into the most prestigious university in the city.
Carly was the girl who had *everything*, and trying to plan a present for her had kept Carly's mother up several nights.
One of the Councilmen snapped his fingers.
"I've got it!" he said.
The rest of the Council turned to him. He was the eldest of the Councilmen, and widely considered the wisest.
"A gangbang!"
There was a pause, as the table processed his idea. Soon, all of the elderly men were nodding their heads.
Carly's mother wrinkled up her nose.
"A gangbang?"
"Yes," the man said. "A gangbang! She's not had one before, has she?"
"Well," the wealthy woman said slowly, "no, but..."
"Then there we go! What do you get the girl who has everything? A gangbang!"
"Yes," several of the Councilmen muttered in agreement. "A gangbang. Excellent idea."
"But...she has a boyfriend."
"Invite him along!" the old man said. "Any objections?"
None of the Councilmen said anything, and Carly's mother's voice died in her throat.
The old man banged his gavel.
"Very well then, that's settled. A gangbang!"

Carly's mother had been hoping to surprise Carly with the present on her birthday, but considering the...nature...of the gift, she felt it was appropriate to tell her daughter as soon as possible.
"But I don't *want* a gangbang," the eighteen-year old girl said, shocked.
"I know that darling," her mother replied demurely, "but...well, the Council have spoken. They know what they're doing, you know."
"Oh," Carly said, looking morose. "Well. If...if the Council have spoken."
The young woman looked so down, her mother was tempted to call and cancel the whole thing. But...they'd only seen her in the first place as a favor. She didn't want to seem *ungrateful*.
"They said that Marty could come," she said brightly, and her daughter threw her a watery smile.
"That's something, I guess."

When the day came, Carly stood outside the Council Room, visibly nervous.
She was wearing her favourite party dress. She'd made sure to shave and wax everywhere, and - not knowing if the Councilmen would be providing lube, or if she was expected to bring her own - she'd brought a small pack with several different flavors.
"Are you excited?" the Council Chambers steward asked.
She hesitated, not sure how to answer.
"I've never had a gangbang before," she said, and the man squealed and clapped his hands together excitedly.
"You're going to *love* it," he said. "Who did you bring?"
"My boyfriend," she said. He'd been separated from her at the big wooden doors.
With a sigh, she decided to get things over with. Stepping into the Council Room, she was shocked by how bright it was - the few times her father had brought her in to see a Council Request in action, it had seemed so dimly lit.
