Escape From Tickle Tower

17

"There! There!" Perrine said with a smile as she pointed to a landing in the distance.

"Finally. We've been on the water for too long." Rachel complained as she laid on the boat next to Zac. The redhead laid on her stomach as Zac laid on his back. Her feet were on Alice's lap with her flip flops on the floor of the boat next to her.

"As if you did anything! Only thing you did was lay down!" Alice yelled as she rowed them closer to the object in the distance.

"Oh shush! You said it yourself! We should have you row otherwise we wouldn't go anywhere." Rachel responded as she wiggled her toes on Alice's lap. This caused the older woman to grit her teeth as she kept rowing, trying her best not to stop right at that moment.

"How long do you think it'll take for us to get there?" Zac asked as he sat up slightly, doing his best not to stare at Rachel's bare foot.

"Shouldn't take too long. Just sit still and let me do the work." Alice said with a smile as she kept rowing.

As soon as she did, Rachel raised her left foot up to the older woman's face. "Roger that! Can you also kiss my foot? I really need some pampering after the last couple floors." She said with a knowing smirk.

"Perrine! Can you do something about Rachel?" Alice yelled as she kept on rowing.

"I think so." Perrine responded as she opened her wand and slowly scooped up some water into it. As she did, Rachel put her foot down and began to crawl over to the magician.

As soon as the brown haired woman pulled her arms back inside the boat, the village woman struck. Her arms wrapped around the unsuspecting magician before scribbling away at her ribs. "Tickle tickle tickle! You ain't gonna tickle me!" Rachel teased out as she deviously scribbled her fingers up and down the defenseless woman's ribs, teasing close to her pits.

"NAHAHAHAHA! NUHUHUHUHU! DOHOHOHON'T TIHIHIHIHICKLE!" Perrine pleaded as her arms clamped down to her sides. Her body squirmed as she wiggled in Rachel's arms. Her laughter flowed from her mouth effortlessly as she leaned into the redhead's body.

"Awwwww, but you love it, don't you?" Rachel teased as she scribbled her way into the young woman's pits.

"NOHOHOHOHOHO! HEHEHEHEHE STAHAHAHAHAHAP!" Perrine laughed out as she began squirming left and right. As she did, the boat began to rock from side to side in time with her.

"I swear if you two cause us to fall into the water I'm leaving with the laughler!" Alice yelled as Rachel kept tickling away at Perrine's pits. They kept going for a few more seconds, falling onto their backs before stopping.

Zac only sighed as he laid back down, watching the lights above them move as they got closer to their destination. That was until he saw a bare foot on his face. "Hey!" He said as he felt the person gently push his face down. He couldn't help but blush as he was forced to watch the toes wiggle before blocking his sight.

"I found a great foot rest." Rachel giggled as she let Perrine regain her breath. She wiggled her toes teasingly and pressed his face down. As she did, she could feel Zac's cheeks heat up. The feeling only caused her to keep her foot in its spot, enjoying the feeling.

"I swear imma kill you." Alice said as she gritted her teeth at Rachel.

The redhead looked up to her, giving her a nervous smile before repositioning herself so that she wasn't bothering anyone. "Sorry." She said softly as she watched another rowboat slowly making their way towards them. "Huh? Is something coming towards us?" She said.

When she did, Zac and Perrine sat up and watched the rowboat. "I think it came from our destination." The black haired man said as he waved his hand above his head. Perrine joined in moments later, waving both her hands in the air happily. Moments later, they saw someone from the other boat waving back at them. They rowed up to each other, noticing two guys in the rowboat that was heading towards them.

When they got to each other, they saw the two muscular guys immediately pull out white swords and pointed them at their necks. "Hands behind your backs. We'll take you to Firsha." One of them said.

"You can't be serious. You're taking us prisoner!" Alice yelled as she held the oar in her hand.

"Best to comply unless you wanna swim with the tickishes." The other man said as he gently poked Perrine's shoulder with the tip of his sword, forcing her to lean back.

"We'll go. Best to go along with it for now at least." Rachel said as pushed the sword away with her hand.

After a couple minutes, the four of them had their hands tied behind their backs with blindfolds on. The four of them kneeled down in the rowboat as the other two escorted them. "Where are we going?" Perrine asked as she tried to look at them. As soon as she opened her mouth, the free muscular guy moved over to her and scribbled his fingers up and down her sides. Laughter exploded out of her mouth as she squirmed from side to side. "NAHAHAHAHA WHYHYHYHYHY?!" She laughed out as she leaned away from the guy.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll be quiet for the rest of the trip!" The muscular tickler yelled to the other three. As he did, he kept relentlessly tickling away at Perrine's sides, forcing more begging and laughter out of her.

"Don't tickle her! Why are you punishing us for talking anyway!" Rachel yelled out. As soon as she did, the muscular man tickling Perrine stopped and placed himself just behind them all. He reached his hands out, grabbing Perrine's and Rachel's waist and began squeezing. The effect was immediate as both women laughed and tried to lean away. "HEHEHEHE CANT GEHEHEHET US ALLLLLLL HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!" The redhead laughed out.

"We could always stop and tickle you too if you wanted." The tickler whispered into Alice's and Zac's ears. The two of them didn't make a single noise as their comrades were tickled for what felt like hours.

Once they stopped, the two women began panting heavily, recovering from the ticklish assault they just received. As they did, they felt the boat rock as if they hit something. "Let's go." One guy said as he forced Zac and Perrine to their feet. Rachel and Ashley were forced to their feet immediately afterwards before being led onto a platform. They kept walking for a bit before being forced to kneel.

The blindfolds were slowly taken off, allowing them to see a tall blonde woman looking over them. "I'll take it from here." They heard the woman say when their blindfolds were taken off. "What are you doing here?" They saw the blue bikini woman ask them.

"We're heading up the floor! Just trying to find a way out honestly." Rachel explained as she gave the woman a shy smile.

"You aren't in league with the pirates?" The woman asked as she took a step closer to the redhead.

"Pirates?" Rachel asked as she turned to the other three. All of them gave her a curious look before she turned back to face the leader. "Don't know about them."

"You sure? You two seem dressed like them. Like you're ready for battle." The woman said as she pointed to Alice and Rachel. "How can I trust you two?"

"Cause we came from the lower floors. We're able to fight the laughler on the last two floors, with anything below the 5th being essentially peaceful." Alice explained as she watched the woman walk over to her.

"It doesn't help that the pirates are often travelers from other floors. I still can't trust you." The woman said as she crossed her arms in front of her.

"I'm sure we can find a way to prove ourselves. Maybe help you with your pirate problem or do some sort of trial." Zac said with a shy smile.

Once he finished speaking, the slimmer woman looked at all of them. A smile slowly formed on her face as she took a step back. "I know how I can gain your trust." She said softly.
