Chapter 27: Bowling and Betting

  "Whoo hoo! I got another strike" BJ exclaimed as he got his third strike in a row.
"Not bad" Jenna replied.
"Thanks" BJ said as Ella went up next.
"Here I go" she said as she picked up her ball.
Upon rolling it, she ended up getting nine out of ten pins.
"This should be an easy spare to pick up" Ella said as she rolled her ball again and picked it up.
Just then, two girls came up to them.
"Well done" one of them said.
"Ummmmm.... Thanks. I'm Ella" Ella replied.
"I'm Teagan and this is my friend Sue Ellen" Teagan said as she introduced herself and her friend.
"So you two enjoy bowling" BJ asked.
"Yeah. We come here every Saturday night just for fun" Sue Ellen answered.
"Okay" BJ replied.
"Are you two ticklish by any chance" Ayanna asked.
"No. Why" Teagan answered.
"I dunno. I was just curious" Ayanna replied.
"Well we are. But we haven't been tickled in our lives at all" Sue Ellen said.
After a few minutes of chatting, they all decided to bowl together since Teagan got herself a free game for bowling a perfect.
"So how good are you guys" Jenna asked.
"When it comes to bowling, I'm the best in all of Grand Haven" Teagan answered.
"Alright. How bout a we make a bet" BJ asked.
"What kind of bet" Sue Allen replied.
"The winner gets to tickle the loser" BJ answered.
"Ya got yourself a deal. We were lying about not having any tickle experience anyways" Teagan said.
"Okay. Let's do this" BJ said as he entered everyone's names into the machine.
"BJ, do you realize what you're getting us into" Jenna asked.
"Yes. But I have total confidence in myself and you guys as well" BJ answered.
"Enough talk. Let's start the game" Teagan said as she bowled first and got a strike.
"Nice one, Teag" Sue Ellen exclaimed as she cheered her on her best friend.
"You're up next" Teagan said.
Sue Ellen ended up getting only eight pins,
"Eh. This spare should be picked up without any problems" she said as she got only one of the pins.
"So close" she continued.
After a close game, Teagan won.
"Awww man. Looks like one of us has to pay the price" BJ said.
"That's right. Now who's it gonna be" Sue Ellen asked.
Everyone but Ella took a step back.
"I guess it's me" Ella answered.
"Okay. Follow us" Teagan replied.
"I should never have bet them" BJ said as he watched them go off into a different area of the bowling alley.
"Yeah. And now Ella is gonna be tickled" Ayanna replied.
After finding them, they decided to watch from afar.
"Why are we watching from this far away" BJ asked.
"It's so they don't see us" Jenna answered.
"Gotcha" BJ replied.
Just then, Teagan pulled out a feather.
"So tell me, Ella. Where are you ticklish" she asked.
"I don't wanna answer that" Ella answered.
"Then we'll just start by removing your shoes and socks" Sue Ellen said as she removed Ella's shoes and tickled her sock covered feet.
"Heheheheheheh. That does tickle" Ella said as she laughed.
"Sue Ellen, you forgot to remove her socks" Teagan said.
"Whoops. I'll get em off right away" Sue Ellen said as she removed Ella's socks and continued to tickle her feet.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha. Now that really tickles" Ella said as she laughed again.
"Any other tickle spots" Teagan asked.
"Hahahahahahaha. I don't know" Ella answered.
"Hmmmmmmm....... I know. Let's try her armpits" Sue Ellen said as she tickled Ella's armpits.
"Heheheheheheheheheheheheheheh. Stoahahahahahahaop it" Ella said as she laughed.
"We're just getting started" Teagan replied.
Just then, Sue Ellen decided to try tickling her sides.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha. That doesn't tickle as much as my feet" Ella said.
"Do we dare even tickle the most cliched spot of all time" Sue Ellen asked.
"What do you mean" Teagan replied.
"I mean should we tickle her stomach" Sue Ellen answered.
"It may be a little bit cliched. But we should just do it anyways" Teagan said.
Meanwhile, BJ, Ayanna and Jenna were still watching.
"I wonder where they'll tickle her next" Ayanna thought to herself.
"It looks like they're gonna tickle her stomach" BJ replied.
As Sue Ellen was about to pull up Ella's shirt, Teagan slapped her hands away.
"What do you think you're doing" she asked.
"We're not gonna pull up her shirt just yet" Teagan answered.
"Oh okay" Sue Ellen replied.
She then proceeded to tickle Ella's stomach with the feather.
"Hahahahahahahaha. Nohahahahahahahahahahahat my stomach" she said as she laughed.
"What can I say? This is the best part" Teagan said as she just watched while Sue Ellen did all the tickling.
"You know you could help me, right" she asked.
"Yes I know that. But you're a better tickler and I'm a better bowler" Teagan answered.
"That's true. But you and I are about even when it comes to bowling" Sue Ellen replied.
"Whatever" Teagan said.
Just then, BJ's stomach started rumbling.
"Really? You didn't have any lunch yet today" Ayanna asked.
"Sorry. I should have ordered some waffle fries" BJ answered.
"Okay. Now we should pull up her shirt" Teagan said.
"And you want me to get it" Sue Ellen asked.
"Nah. I'll do it" Teagan said as she pulled up Ella's shirt to reveal her stomach and belly button.
"No. Please. Mercy" she said.
"I'm afraid there is no mercy" Sue Ellen said as she as she tickled Ella's stomach again.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha. I'm begging you to stahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahop it" she said as she laughed.
"Should we tickle the second most cliched spot in the book" Sue Ellen asked.
"Yes" Teagan answered.
"Okay" Sue Ellen said as she tickled Ella's belly button.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Please just stop" she said while she laughed.
"Think she's had enough" Sue Ellen asked.
"Yeah. I think so" Teagan answered.
"Whew. Thank goodness that's over" Ella said.
"Look, I didn't like it any more than you" Sue Ellen replied.
"Why not" Ella asked.
"Teagan may be my best friend, but she can be a little bit bossy" Sue Ellen answered.
"Oh now you call me bossy? I should tickle you right now" Teagan said.
"Whoops. I shouldn't have said that" Sue Ellen replied.
"Don't worry. I won't actually tickle you" Teagan said as they all returned their bowling shoes and got their regular shoes back on.
"That's a relief. I'm so ticklish that it's not even funny" Sue Ellen said as they walked back to their houses.
"Well that was fun" BJ said.
"You said it" Ella replied.
