   My heart is pounding, but my body isn't there. All I can see is the empty abyss in front of me. Loud screeching blares in my ears, waking me up. My eyes dart around the room, looking for the source of the sound. I get up and walk into the living room, where four lights sit. I back away, frightened. "Are you okay, Hannah?" The purple light speaks. Her voice... Why does it sound familiar? "Y-yeah..." "C'mon, be honest..." The blue light got closer to me. "It's not a common sight for light to show up in your living room if the lights are off..." "I can get that! But we're not ordinary lights!" "Yeah, I can tell." The green light just stands there. The blue light takes a mostly human form, still glowing. "Sayori?!" She nodded. The others took their human forms as well, Monika staring at me with the evil eyes. Sayori hugs me. Her embrace causes a spark to run through my body. I shriek from the sensation. Although, it didn't hurt. In fact... It tickled. She looked at me with confusion. "What's wrong?" I'm blushing, holding my sides. "N-nothing, I'm just k-kinda sensitive...." All four of them smirked, lunging toward me. I try to run, but one of them catches my leg and pulls me back. Another spark emerged, causing me to giggle. Yuri's sparks were very faint, but they spread the farthest. Sayori's sparks didn't spread as far, but they lasted the longest. Natsuki's sparks didn't last very long, but MAN were they strong! As for Monika... She didn't even tickle me. She just sat in front of me, enjoying the sight of my ticklish agony. Everyone else actually tickled me until I passed out. I woke up to the sound of my alarm, feeling a slight tingling feeling everywhere. I got ready, headed out, and hoped for a good day.

   The thing is, I never get what I hope for. I had a terrible day. I sat on the bench after school, nearly falling asleep. My eyes shoot open when I feel a poke on my right side. It's just Baldi, thank goodness. "Hey, you doing alright?" I shake my head. "Not really. I can't explain it to you, though, 'cause you wouldn't believe me." "Try me." I giggle. "Everyone else says that in movies, and yet they think they're crazy." He rolls his eyes. "Yeah, but I mean it!" I sigh. "Alright. Last night, I saw the Dokis in my living room." I was expecting him to have a look of disbelief, but he just nodded. "They started out as lights the color of their eyes, but then they took a mostly human form. What I didn't think at first was that if they touched me, a t-t..." I struggled to say the word. "T-t.. Ugh, I can't say it.." He smiled politely. "You know, I think I know what words you're trying to say. A ticklish sensation would take over you, right?" I nodded, the edges of my mouth pulling upwards into a smile. "Well, I don't know how they got there, but was there one that didn't do anything?" I thought for a moment. "Yes. It was Monika." He seemed to know who I was talking about. "Her? That's quite odd. I wonder if she has any plans for you..." I shudder at that thought. "I hope not... If she did tickle me, I bet her sparks would've been the worst..." He nodded. "Yes, considering she's sentient, and is the leader." I wonder how he knows about her, and how much. "Well, do you want to sleep with me again?"(Bad touch, BAD TOUCH!!!) My face fumed, and I covered it. His face turned red as well. "W-WAIT, I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!!!" I couldn't help but laugh at his response. "I just meant, like last time..." I smiled. "Sure!" We walked to his room, and he left, waving goodbye to me. I laid down and fell asleep.
