Big Sister Tickles

Part 2- The Challenge

Part 2- The Challenge

It was a stormy night, and London was sitting at her desk doing an essay on her laptop. She sighed in frustration; the essay she was typing was required to be 5,000 words long. When taking challenging classes as a sophomore, it comes with a price. You had to work all day and night nonstop and also study for a lot of upcoming tests.

While finishing up her assignment, London heard a knock on her door.

"Come in" she said in a calm tone. When the door opened, her older sister, McKenzie, stood in her presence. The elder sister had a small smile on her face and London couldn't help but smile back at her.

"Hey, sis, what's up?" McKenzie asked. She then looked at the bags under her poor sister's eyes and frowned. "Have a lot of work, huh?"

London sighed and nodded her head. "I just want to go to bed."

McKenzie looked at her sister with pity. "Aww, I know how it feels. I can't believe they gave you an essay on a Friday night. I took a lot of challenging classes too, and I don't remember staying up this late. I don't know why it was different for you than it was for me."

There was an awkward silence in the room.

McKenzie then cleared her throat and grinned at her sister. "I have a challenge for you, little sis."

London raised her eyebrows. "What kind of...challenge?"

McKenzie then giggled. "You're probably not going to like it, London, but it's a tickling challenge."

London's eyes widened as she heard the word "tickling." London was very ticklish and she couldn't stand being tickled, especially by her sister.

McKenzie laughed at her sister's reaction. "Relax, London, I'm sure you'll win this challenge."

"I don't know, sis; I have to finish this paper" said London as she turned back to her computer and started typing again. "We'll play tomorrow, 'kay?"

McKenzie smirked and rolled her eyes. "Are you saying this because you REALLY don't have time for the challenge due to working on your essay or you just don't want to be tickled tonight?"

London sighed as her eyes were still focused on her essay. "Not tonight, okay."

"You didn't answer my question, London."

"I'm really busy, Kenzie" said London in a frustrated tone. "Can we please do this on the weekend?"

"Alright, you win" McKenzie sighed in defeat. Suddenly, a mischievous look crept on her face as she walked towards the door. "I was going to drive you to Baskin Robbins tomorrow IF you won this challenge, but you blew it, kid."

London immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at her sister with wide eyes.

"Wait, so you're saying if I win this tickling challenge, we'll go to Baskin Robbins and get some of that...yummy ice cream?" London clarified. McKenzie nodded her head "yes." London's mouth started to water.

"Think about it, little sis. I can get you your favorite flavor and not to mention I'll pay for it. How does that sound?" asked McKenzie as she turned to face her sister. "Of course, you would have to win this challenge before I drive you there."

London started to contemplate. She then looked at her assignment she was currently working on. She did have a lot of words to type on her paper, but she wouldn't mind playing with her sister for a few minutes. Not to mention she would get free ice cream if she won her sister's challenge. She then averted her eyes towards McKenzie, who gave her a smirk in return. London sighed and decided to accept the challenge.
