Chapter 6: Beanie Collecting

  "Nothing like going through YouTube, eh honeypot" BJ said as he and Mikki were looking through WatchMojo's top 10 videos.
"You said it" Mikki replied.
After watching the Top 10 Collectable Fads video, they decided that Beanie Babies would be their first major collection as a couple.
"What's got you two so excited" Fred asked.
"BJ and I are gonna start a Beanie Baby collection" Mikki answered.
"Oh really? That's cool. Your mom and I used to collect those while we were in middle school" Fred replied.
"You were a Beanie collector, Mr. Rogers" BJ asked.
"That's right. I had a lot of them. In fact, I still have the first nine Beanies that ever came out back in the 90's" Fred answered.
"Dang dad. That's crazy" Mikki said.
"Yep. If you're gonna start, you'll have to pick a starter Beanie" Fred replied.
"Since Mikki and I will be starting two separate collections, we'll pick our own" BJ said.
"Not so fast" Fred said.
"What's up, dad" Mikki asked.
"The starters you pick must be part of the original nine" Fred answered.
"Okay. Who can we pick from" BJ asked.
"There's Cubbie the Bear, Pinchers the Lobster, Chocolate the Moose, Squealer the Pig, Splash the Whale, Flash the Dolphin, Legs the Frog or Patti the Platypus" Fred answered.
After he went upstairs to pulls out a box, he showed it to Mikki and BJ.
"So which ones are you two gonna start with" Fred asked.
"I'll go with Chocolate" BJ answered.
"And I'll start with Pinchers" Mikki added.
"Good choices. Here are your Beanies" Fred said as he handed them their starters.
"Thanks, Mr. R" BJ said as he and Mikki headed out the door.
"Now hold on a sec. I have something else to give you" Fred said.
"What is it" BJ asked.
"It's a Beaniedex" Fred answered.
"So it works like a Pokedex" BJ replied.
"Yeah. Pretty much" Fred said.
Once they got to the DeLorean, they went to the newly opened Beanie store.
"The Dex says there are 171 Beanies in total to collect" BJ said as he started the car.
"Yeah. My dad made it so collecting Beanies could be like Pokemon for us" Mikki replied.
Upon their arrival, they went in and were overwhelmed by the setup.
"Okay. Where do we even start" BJ asked.
"I wish I knew but I don't" Mikki answered.
Just then, a worker came up to them.
"Can I help you" she asked.
"Yeah. Where do you recommend we start" Mikki replied.
"All the aisles are set up by decade. So there's the 90's, 2000's and the 2010's" the worker answered.
"Okay. Thanks cutie" BJ said as he poked her nose.
"Anytime. If you have any more questions, just come find me" she replied.
"Before we go, what's your name" BJ asked.
"I'm Cassie Lucas. And yes I realize that I share my name with a Collie Beanie" Cassie answered.
"I'm BJ and this is my girlfriend Mikki" BJ said as he introduced himself and Mikki.
"Nice to meet you" Cassie replied.
After a while of going down the aisle one, Mikki notices something about most of the Beanies.
"Is it me or do the 90's Beanies look like roadkill" she said as she noticed them.
"Yeah. They really do look like roadkill" BJ replied.
"So how exactly are we gonna go about building our collections" Mikki asked.
"I dunno. How bout six Beanies from each isle" BJ answered.
"That'll work. I already decided to get Doby, Legs and Twigs from this aisle" Mikki said.
"Cool. I'll get Peanut, Cheeks and Zip" BJ replied.
Upon reaching the 2000's aisle, they ran into Jenna and Ayanna.
"Hey guys. You collect Beanies too" Mikki asked.
"Yeah. We both started with Squealer because we both like pigs" Jenna answered.
"That' cool" BJ said.
"Yeah. We heard your plan and what to know what Beanies you're gonna get from this aisle" Ayanna replied.
"I'm going with Cassie, Oasis and Chompy" BJ answered.
"And I'm going to get Frostiness, Springy and Gus" Mikki added.
"Good choices" Jenna said.
"Thanks" Mikki replied.
"Anytime" Ayanna said.
Once they made it to the 2010's aisle, things got a little complex
"Hmmmmmm...... This is tricky" Mikki said.
"Yeah. We seem to know more Beanies from the 90's and 2000's" BJ replied.
"Yeah. But we're gonna pick 3 each whether we like it or not" Mikki said as she decided on Brownie, Tundra and Buckwheat.
"Good choices. I'll go with Bandit, Cecil and Slick" BJ replied.
"Alright. We did it. To the checkout" Mikki said as they got in line.
While they waited, BJ saw Cassie stretching and her shirt rose up a little revealing a tiny glimpse of her smooth and slim stomach.
"Resist. Resist" he said as he and Mikki were next.
"Resist what" Cassie asked.
"I caught a glimpse of your belly while you were stretching" BJ answered.
"Oh okay. After you guys, my shift is over. Why don't I follow you two back to your house" Cassie replied.
"Any reason" Mikki asked.
"Maybe there's a legit reason or maybe I just want to be tickled" Cassie answered.
"I'd be glad to tickle you" BJ said.
"Sweet. I'll ring you guys up and then I'll get in my car and follow you to your house" Cassie replied.
"Alright" Mikki said.
"How much do we owe you" BJ asked.
"$167.45" Cassie answered.
Once they paid the money, BJ and Mikki waited for Cassie to clock out.
"And done" she said as she came downstairs.
Upon returning to the house, they were greeted by Mikki's parents.
"Hey guys. What kind of Beanie haul did you get" Wanda asked.
"We got some that are just too awesome for words" Mikki answered.
"Sweet and who's your friend" Fred replied.
"I'm Cassie. I work at the Beanie store" Cassie said as she introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Wanda and this is my husband Fred" Wanda said as she introduced herself and Fred.
"Thanks. Now we're about to head upstairs" Cassie replied.
After opening all the wrong doors, they finally found BJ and Mikki's room.
"So why do you two share a room" Cassie asked.
"As a couple, we figured that sleeping together in the same bed would increase our relationship" Mikki answered.
"Yeah. Now let's talk tickling here" BJ added.
"Okay" Cassie replied.
"For starters, where are you ticklish" BJ asked.
"My belly is my most ticklish spot. Second only to my belly button" Cassie answered.
"Good to know" Mikki said as she and BJ get evil smiles on their faces.
"Oh no. I think I know what's gonna happen here" Cassie said as BJ pulled some rope out of the closet.
"Just so you don't squirm around" he said as he tied her down.
Since she was still wearing her work uniform consisting of black pants and a red button down shirt that wasn't tucked in, Mikki and BJ decided to take their time with the buttons and tickle her neck in between undoing each button from top to bottom.
"Tickle tickle" BJ said as he tickled Cassie's neck while Mikki undid the first button.
"Nice try. But my neck is not very ticklish" she replied.
"We know. We're just taking out sweet sweet time to get to your belly" Mikki said as she undid the second button.
"Why are you taking your time" Cassie asked.
"Because we can" BJ answered.
After undoing the rest of the buttons on her shirt, Cassie's entire belly was exposed.
"This is gonna be fun" BJ said as he tickled her belly.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. THAHAHAHAHAT TICKLES SO MUCH" Cassie said as she laughed.
"Glad you're enjoying it" Mikki replied.
"Yeah. I'm a great tickler am I not" BJ added.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. YOU'RE A WONDERFUL TICKLER" Cassie said.
"That's great" BJ replied.
After some major tickling, they released her and she decided to get some revenge.
"Oh crud" BJ said.
"You know you want me to tickle you" Cassie said as she pushed him on the bed.
"Alright. I'll go peacefully" BJ replied
"Good" she said.
Awhile later, she left and then Mikki and BJ decided to make some sundaes.
"That was great" Mikki said as they built their sundaes.
"Yep. It sure was" BJ replied.
