The Tickle Gang

10

The hallway was filled with giggles and laughter as all the members were forced to stand. They all faced the door to Fiona's room, waiting in anticipation. Vanessa was giggling uncontrollably while leaning on Bethan. Courtney and Maddie were giggling along with everyone else, blending in as they looked forward.

After a few minutes of standing around, the door to Fiona's room was opened. A new wave of laughter filled the hallway as Fiona and Diana walked in. Fiona giggles as she stepped into the hallway. Diana laughed uncontrollably as she followed Fiona. Her laughter increased with each step she took. A small buzzing brought everyone's attention to Diana's feet. They saw that she was wearing the same shoes that Fiona had.

"First, let's welcome our newest members." Fiona giggled. The rest of the people in the hallway cheered through their giggling nature. Vanessa joined in, giggling in response to everyone's attempt to cheer. Courtney looked on in shock, forgetting to giggle with everyone else.

After a bit, the giggling returned to a normal level. Fiona giggled louder before continuing. "As tradition, we shall send our newest members to get us at least one new member. They must bring them back before the morning. Of course, one of our members is a little farther gone than the rest."

As soon as she said that, Diana laughed loudly. Before Fiona continued, she put a hand over Diana's laughing mouth. Fiona looked at the others and smiled. "Courtney, Vanessa, and Diana shall head out tonight and bring someone back. At the very least, Diana must return." She giggled. The rest giggled in approval. Courtney quickly went back to giggling before anyone noticed.

Soon, everyone dispersed to other rooms, leaving Bethan with Courtney, Diana, and Vanessa. Fiona walked back to her room, locking it behind her. "Allow me to get you three ready." Bethan giggled while escorting Vanessa to the other two.

Vanessa slowly pushed herself away from Bethan, barely standing on her own two feet. When she did, Bethan walked into a different room. After a few minutes, Bethan walked back with rope and a ball gag. "I'm hoping you still remember how to tie a knot." She giggled. Diana laughed uncontrollably in response. "Also, watch her to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid."

"You promised." Diana laughed as she looked at Bethan.

"I know. Once you get back I'll take off the shoes." Bethan said while letting out a small laugh. Diana limped over to Bethan and took the supplies from her before heading towards one of the doors. Vanessa and Courtney giggled as they followed her.

Before Courtney left, she turned back to see Bethan smirking at them. It looked as if she was struggling hold in her laughter. Courtney giggled back shyly when she saw Bethan before leaving.

"I can't wait to see her face when she gets back. Especially when they come back with the newest member." Bethan mumbled to herself while taking out a small remote from her pocket. The remote had multiple buttons, each with a letter above it. A light was above each letter. Currently, two lights were on. The light above the F and the light above the T were on.

Bethan quickly pressed the T button before pressing the B button. "It's time to see how she handles an upgrade." She laughed to herself before heading towards Fiona's room.
