Rainbow Dash slid through the wind and across the grass as she hit the brakes while on the ground. "Whew! Finally back in Ponyville. That was quite the camp at Wonderbolts Headquarters."
She decided to look through the area she just so happened to land in, which was Ponyville Park, to see if any of her friends were around. It was common for them to visit this place on weekends, which today was, so Rainbow felt like she had a good chance at a score.
The pegasus walked close to a right turn on the trail, and that's when she heard a certain drawling voice. Sure enough, Applejack was in the park, along with Rarity, who she was... huh, they're sitting on tree stumps in front of a board with lots of little squares on it. You didn't see that every day.
"Hey Rarity! Hey Applejack! Whatcha doing?" Rainbow Dash said, walking up to them.
"I'm learnin' how to play chess. Granny Smith's been teachin' me." Applejack said. "After how sore my muscles have gotten from that rodeo, I figured I'd try my hoof at a sit-down game. And Rarity's here with me, 'cause we happened to be here at the same time."
"Neat." Rainbow Dash said. "You know, I understand chess fairly well. I bet I could beat you."
Applejack thought about that for a moment. Given the history, Rainbow Dash probably would beat her. But apparently, her rodeo energy still hadn't worn off yet.
"I'd be willing to bet on that." Applejack said as she turned her body, looking straight at Rainbow.
"Oh, really?" Rainbow said, giggling. "What do you bet?"
Her laughin' is cute. Applejack thought to herself. I'd like to hear it more.
And suddenly, there was an idea. The best idea! It just had to be the best! She wanted to hear more of Rainbow's laughter, so...
"How about if I win, then I get to tickle ya?" Applejack suggested with a smirk. "You'll have to be my ticklin' slave from the end of the game until next mornin'. Oh yeah, and you could join too, Rarity!"
"Tickling Dashie? Oh, that sounds splendid!"
That sounded like a steep bet. "But I'd still get breaks, right?" RD asked.
"Oh, of course." Applejack assured. "Dinner has to be eaten, after all. And you'll need sleep. But outside of those times, Rarity and I would like free range to tickle ya. That's what happens if ya lose the bet. You'll have to just let us do our thing."
While she liked being tickled, Rainbow was unsure of betting on this. It sounded brutal, especially with the length. The slavery would last until tomorrow morning.
But... then she realized it didn't just apply to their side.
"And if I win, I get to do the same to you too. Both of you."
"Of course." Applejack said. "You win the game of chess, and Rarity and I both face the same thing."
Rainbow Dash visualized the potential scene. Free range to tickle both of them? For that amount of time? Yeah, she was willing to take the risk of it happening to her now.
"Let the game begin." Rainbow said.
...
Rainbow Dash moved one space more, and the opposing king was trapped.
"Yeah-heah-heah! I won! I won!" Rainbow Dash beamed, flying in the air. "I'm gonna get to tickle you two!" she pointed at them. "For the rest of today, and a bit of tomorrow! Oh, you'd better be ready!" She couldn't resist giggling herself.
Not like Applejack or Rarity could knock away that tease.
"So, if I may interject, how about we do this at my house?" Rarity suggested. "I happen to have a guest room with two beds."
"Sure!" Rainbow Dash said. "That helps."
"Splendid. Just follow my lead." Rarity was excited for this.
Rarity led her friends to an unrecognized door on the outside her house. They hadn't seen this secondary entrance, much less gone through it, before, so today featured a new discovery! As the area behind was revealed, indeed it was just like Rarity said. There was a wide white room with two double-pony-sized beds, also white and topped off with sparkling, glittering purple blankets, and a shared nightstand between them. Though Applejack had other ideas in that regard.
"Hey Rarity, would you mind movin' over that there nightstand?" Applejack asked. "I'm seeing a way this thing could be improved."
Rarity didn't particularly want anypony to rearrange her room, but hey, it would only be temporary, and she figured AJ must be on to something. So she pushed the nightstand through the space between the beds and towards the other wall.
Applejack, with her mighty muscles, moved the left bed over to where the space between it and the right bed was now a mere mare's width.
"There, Rainbow. Now ya can tickle both of us at the same time if ya want."
"Ha! Great idea, AJ!" Rainbow teased, giving her a high-hoof. "Alright, well, you two ready?"
"I'd say I'm ready." Applejack said. "How 'bout you, Rarity?"
"Sure." Rarity responded. She climbed up onto the right bed and Applejack climbed onto the left bed, after which they both situated themselves on their backs. Rarity was grateful she made the mattresses so high-quality with their softness, as it was going to be where they spent most of their time for a while.
Rainbow Dash, the tickler, was the one who was ready the last. Her eyes caught a certain object (in fact, four of them in double edition) sitting on the brown desk at the other side of the room from the beds. A device one would associate with their activity. "I think we should do this." Rainbow said as she picked up four pairs of pink, fuzzy hoof-cuffs.
"You two comfortable?" Rainbow asked. AJ and Rarity nodded, and so she began to lock Rarity's spread-out front legs under the rings, as the other pair attached to them wrapped around the bed frame's side poles. No way she was going anywhere. Rainbow repeated the process on Rarity's back legs, and then on Applejack.
"This'll make it easier on her." Applejack said to Rarity.
"Oh, certainly." Rarity responded. "We won't be able to squirm and hit her on accident."
"Right." Rainbow said. "Here we go!" Both ponies began to shake, knowing what was coming. RD brought out two pointy feathers and began swaying them across Rarity's back hooves, going back-and-forth, up and down.
"Hahahahaha!" Rarity laughed. "Those ho-hooves are really se-sensitive! Haha!"
"They sure are." Rainbow teased. She lifted the feathers up forward and increased their speed as she began to tickle Rarity's sides, making her jump and squirm in her bonds. "Hahahahaha! Da-ha-ashie! That tickles! Haha!"
"I love your laugh." Getting good results, Rainbow continued at Rarity's sides for a while. Applejack, on the other bed, could hear the posh laughter coming from her left, and as she looked over, they sure seemed to be having fun. Applejack could only lay there exposed... to the air, as she waited for something to come her way.
A few minutes later, Rainbow felt satisfied with the amount of feather tickling done on Rarity's sides and left the fashionista to catch her breath. "Don't worry AJ, I haven't forgotten about you!" she said as she walked over to the end of the other bed. Dash brought out one fresh, clean feather duster and one soft brush, to scrub one of each on AJ's back hooves.
"Hahahaha! Feels good! Hahahaha!"
"Aww, glad to hear you like it!" Rainbow said affectionately. She tickled her farm friend's hooves a bit faster.
Even her laugh sounds country. Rainbow thought to herself. I like it.
AJ clearly had been with a patient desire to be tickled, as she felt a lot better, more fulfilled, when Rainbow left her to go at Rarity again. "Good ticklin', Rainbow! Keep it up!" she called out.
Dash couldn't help but blush. To think that she was tickling her friends as part of a won bet, yet they appreciated what she was doing, just made this whole thing super adorable and wholesome. And in no way was she done yet. Rainbow tickled both of Rarity's under-foreleg pits using the same feathers as before, in addition to a simultaneous raspberry on her belly.
"HAHAHAHA! O-oh my Celestia! HAHAHA!"
Well, she wasn't being asked to stop. So RD kept the feathers fluttering under the forelegs, to the tune of adorably fancy laughter. She also couldn't help but blow an even harder raspberry. Rarity got so loud that... well, it summoned a somebody else who happened to be in the house.
"Hey Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack!" Spike the dragon called out, waving his hand. "What's going on?"
Rainbow paused her activity. "I won a bet against AJ and Rarity and now they have to let me be their tickle slaves until next morning. So I'm tickling them."
Spike pointed an index finger. "Can I join in?"
"Sure!" Rainbow said.
Oh, here it comes. the restrained mares thought to themselves. Now there were two ticklers! There could be one for each pony, so wait times would become minimal to none! Sure enough, as Rainbow stayed with Rarity, using her tail to tickle the back hooves, Spike hopped up to the center-side of Applejack's bed and started tickling her tummy with his fingers.
"HAHAHAHA!" the farm pony laughed hard. "I-I might be most ticklish there! HEEHEEHEE!"
"Well, guess I'll stay here for a while then." Spike said. The dragon could bet he was an effective tickler, given the presence of fingers, which seemed to be true given the laughter volume hitting him. He worked his magic with good speed and made sure to skitter his hands all around her belly, with movement in all directions. Spike's goal was to cover the whole area.
Rainbow Dash, for her part, had a bit of difficulty controlling her tail movement, especially on a small area like the hooves, though she was still able to make Rarity laugh. She finished that up and climbed up onto the bed to start tickling her belly, using a rotation of front hooves, feathers, and brushes as Spike continued to tickle Applejack in the same area.
Laughter was filling up and vibrating the room, that was for sure. Rainbow even thought that it may have been beneficial to put on earmuffs. She also figured the ticklees could use a breath catch now, which she signaled to Spike using an outward front hoof pointed at him, so they stopped for the time being.
The slaves let out some lingering laughs. AJ wanted to rub off sweat; only she couldn't because her hooves were cuffed above her head. "Shoo. Now that tickled."
"Am I good at it?" Spike asked her. "You're really fun to tickle, by the way."
"Aww, thanks. And yep. You really are good. That felt nice. Didn't hurt or anythin'."
"Great to know!" Spike said.
"So... what should we do in the meantime?" Rainbow asked. "I think I'm ready for a break."
"We can take a break." Applejack said. "And, ya know, I am feelin' a little dirty from that game we were playin'. Perhaps I could use a bath." she said as felt Rainbow loosen her restraints.
"Oh! A bath is a great idea! You'll get clean, and I can continue to tickle you in there!" Rainbow said. "Doesn't soap tickle?"
..She was on to something. "Well, we mainly bathe ourselves over at the farm, but back when she was younger, I sure do recall hearin' Applebloom laugh when I rubbed her with soap. Hehe." Applejack said.
"My point exactly!" Rainbow exclaimed. "How about we all take a bath together?"
"But do we have a tub that's big enough for all of us?" Applejack said.
"You do in this house!" Rarity said, skipping over to the door on Applejack's right. "Just follow me." So everyone did. "Bath time!" Spike cheered. Rarity smiled; she knew how much Spike loved his baths.
Rarity opened the door at the end of the hall, which supposedly leads to the room supposedly containing a four-member bathtub. Looking inside, it was big enough. The white area expanded further in its dimensions than any bath the others had ever seen.
Rarity got the faucet flowing and Spike opened the cabinet door to pick up the bottle labeled "bubbles" on it. "Oh, so we're adding those things." Rainbow said.
"Yup." Spike responded. "What's a bath without bubbles?"
Well, Rainbow could sure remember taking many, many baths without bubbles... that is, if showers were to be counted as baths.
"You know, maybe I haven't had a bath without bubbles before." Rainbow said. "I stopped taking baths and switched to showers when I was nine or ten, but my final bath definitely did consist of bubbles."
"Even I still include bubbles whenever I take baths." Applejack noted. "Age ain't nothin' but a number."
"How adorable." Rarity said, making AJ blush. "Anyway, bath is ready!"
The quartet all climbed together into the pool of steaming, bubbly water. "Oh yeah. Feels good." Rainbow said.
Something about what she said there caught her own self off guard. "You know, normally I'd be super embarrassed to do things like this, but something about today is loosening me up a little."
"That'd probably be the ticklin'!" Applejack said, laying back in the water. "It does enable you to be a little cuter."
Rainbow blushed and waved a hoof. "Hehe. Yeah. Anyway, so Spike, I take Rarity and you take Applejack? Just like before?"
"Sure." Spike said. They shuffled over to the opposite sides of where they were in the bath, moving to each designated pony to wash. They both brought out bath cups and took a few dumps of scooped-up water on their friends' heads, getting them ready for shampooing.
"Just let it be known that I may take a while to get back to the tickling after this, because my mane takes forever to return to form." Rarity said.
"That's okay." Rainbow responded. "We'll have tickling here, after we already did that last session, so I feel like there can be a pretty long gap."
"Yeah." Applejack added. "It is gettin' pretty close to dinnertime anyway."
True; it was 4:48 PM and the bath only just started. So dinner would be their next event! For now, though, Rainbow picked up the generic white shampoo and shot a burst of it into her hoof, ready for Rarity. Spike meanwhile, with Applejack, used nothing other than the apple-scented bottle.
The shampooed ponies leaned forward and left their friends to work the magic. Applejack in particular could swear she was at the Day Spa. She thought Spike would make a good employee there. "Oh my, Spike. You've got good fingers!"
"They worked on your back; should work on your mane too!" Spike commented. Applejack giggled at his playfulness. It was true; whether from scratching, bathing, or tickling, she did like having the noble dragon's hands on her. Perhaps it was due to their stark contrast with pony hooves; she didn't get to feel fingers often.
On the other side, Rarity was apprehensive about letting Rainbow Dash be the one to work with her delicate mane, but she figured today was the day to open up a bit. Just like how Rainbow felt. And the result was good so far. Rainbow kept at the going with the mane rubbing to the point Rarity's neck felt uncomfortable and in need of a stretch, and the mane massage seemed to get to every last strand while not being rough.
"This isn't the part that tickles. But I sure did need my mane cleaned." Applejack said.
"We will be getting to the next part soon enough." Spike teased.
...
As Spike said, soon enough the manes were all clean and it was body washing time. A.k.a. the part that tickles.
The dragon picked up a white bar of soap and AJ lifted up her forelegs. He started scrubbing her ticklish left side, though the laughter volume was pretty faint. Guess his fingers worked better.
Meanwhile, Rainbow started on Rarity's back hooves, bringing out the deep laughing and must-hold-her leg squirming as the pink bar moved around. "Hahahaha! I'm very ticklish! Haha!"
On this area, the soap seemed to tickle Rarity more than other techniques. Rainbow couldn't quite get the same hysterics when she tickled her soles with a feather, brush, or tail.
After lathering up Applejack's sides, Spike made sure to get under her forelegs well enough. It was an area prone to getting dirty as fairly difficult to wash with its small, tucked-away space. And as a bonus, it's an area that's sensitive!
"Hahahaha, Spi-ike! That tickles! Heehee!"
"You're adorable." Spike said. "How's it going, Rainbow Dash and Rarity?"
"Just finding out that the back of Rarity's neck is ticklish." Rainbow said, her voice trying to cut through Rarity's laughing.
"Ooh, yeah." Spike said to Applejack. "I should get that spot too. Can you lean forward a bit?"
AJ did so and she too wondered if her neck was ticklish. Based on her experiences, it wasn't a commonly targeted area, though she did love to be scratched there.
She started giggling at a fair volume. "Heehee, yup. I'd say I'm ticklish there."
"Cool!" Spike said. "And I got that one done fast. Now how about the belly?"
Applejack leaned her body back against the tub's end and placed her back hooves on a platform to keep herself above the water. Spike smiled and stroked her belly with the soap bar.
"HAHAHA! Yu-hup, ticklish there alright! HAHA!"
"Anyone else here thinking AJ has a tickle spot?" Spike asked everyone. "I always thought she had it equally balanced, but today is showing something different."
"Well, as our friend Player 4 has said, there are a lot of variables." Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe her tummy is most ticklish with soap, but it could be different with say, a feather. I actually have always found AJ to be more sensitive on her hooves and under her forelegs than on her midsection when I'm using my wings."
"Interesting." Spike said. "Also interesting how Player 4 knows so much about tickling when he never participates in it himself."
Rainbow rolled her eyes a bit. "That's Player 4 for you. He's kinda just like that with those weird behaviors. Anyway, Rarity is fully washed! All rinsed up now."
"Thank you, Rainbow. You're wonderful." Rarity said, giving her a watery, bubbly hug.
Rainbow blushed again. "Oh, stop." Then she changed the subject as Rarity left the tub and went to go dry off. "How's it going with Applejack?"
"Well, I'm about to do something a bit different than what you did. See how AJ is still all soaped up? Well, I figured I could get her even cleaner by using this scrub brush after I finished applying the soap. The brush is said to help with ponies' coats better than a bar alone, and Applejack's fur felt a little rough when I tickled her earlier."
"Right, because the brush will dig in further and straighten out all the strands. It's got those kinds of bristles." AJ said. "And here, I'm thinkin' of a way you can brush all of me without any change of positions." She sat down on top of the blue platform; dang, was that thing sturdy. It didn't sink even when the pony with the bulkiest muscles sat right on top of it.
The lathered-up Applejack lifted her forelegs high in the air. "Ready for the brushin'."
Spike smiled and walked over, scrubbing his farm friend all over her sides, belly, and back; results feature both satisfyingly cute laughing and extra bubbling of the soap. As Spike also periodically felt her fur with his hands, he could notice it getting more and more fresh and smooth.
"It's going well, Applejack!" Spike said. "Just a little bit longer." He lifted her back hooves out from under the water to get at them too, as well as walking over to the other side to brush her neck. After giving her soft hand stroking on every area to check if all was good, and after Rainbow and Spike just barely remembered to wash themselves too, the drain's plug was pulled.
"I really liked that, Spike. You and I should do this together again someday." Applejack said, wrapping a towel on.
"Totally for it!" Spike responded. "Now where are the other two?"
"Rarity has air driers, so they're probably in... - she had to remember the layout of Rarity's house - ...that room."
With being both blown at by their friends and laying under a mane chair, the quartet restored their bodies to normal and then made their way to the kitchen for dinner.
"Oh man, I am loving this day!" Rainbow Dash beamed.
"It sure is wonderful." Applejack said.
"Many ponies despise being tickled. I'm glad I'm not one of them." Rarity said. "It's so easily usable for having fun with friends."
"And siblings too!" Applejack added. "Ya know, it has been a long time since Applebloom and I tickled each other. I am feelin' like we should get back to that."
"I can't even remember the last time I tickled Twilight." Spike said. "It was several years ago at the earliest."
Applejack giggled. "I am feelin' some stuff comin' along."
The others giggled along with her.
...
After dinner was over, the same idea for the next event was on everypony's minds; another dry tickle session in the same location as the first one. But they felt like some things needed to be changed, in order for the stay to not get repetitive.
"Hey Spike, how about you and I swap ponies this time around? As in, you go with Rarity and I tickle Applejack."
"Good idea." Spike said. "We have been doing it the same this whole time."
Applejack jumped in. "I must note, Spike, it was a mighty upgrade havin' you join in here, because at the beginnin', Dash only tickled me once."
"...Yeah, I was pretty focused on Rarity, hehe. But hey, Spike and I are swapping, so now you're my complete focus." Rainbow said as she circled and locked the cuffs around Applejack's limbs, just like before.
"We all ready?" Applejack asked. Rarity nodded, and the ticklers flashed their front palms. Rainbow started by tickling AJ's sides with them.
"Heeheeheehee!"
Spike had something interesting going on. He sat on top of Rarity and tickled her belly from above, using his trusty fingers.
"HAHAHA, Spikey! It tickles! HAHA!"
"That's the entire point." he teased.
Rainbow decided to double her attack, continuing to dig into Applejack's left side with her hoof as she also tickled under her right foreleg with a feather.
"HAHAHAHA!" she laughed.
It had only been a few seconds after Spike switched to Rarity's sides that he noticed AJ and Rainbow having fun over there. There was clearly more powerful laughing than what he was getting; maybe Spike needed to beef things up a little. He took a deep breath and blew his hardest possible raspberry on Rarity's belly, combined with tickling under her forelegs with his fingers. There was the equally-balanced sound room!
Spike repeated the breathe-and-blow process many times while keeping his fingers working, while Rainbow experimented with feather-tickling both of Applejack's under-forelegs simultaneously, and waving her wings on both of her sides, as well as both of her back hooves.
"I have a ticklish friend." Rainbow said.
Spike was getting puffed out from blowing all those raspberries, and as he let Rarity have a break... something just felt a little off about this session.
"Hey Rainbow, now I loved tickling Rarity and it was good for us to try something different, but, you know, I just feel like our old stations were so perfect. Something about me on Applejack and you on Rarity has a certain charm to it."
"That is true." Rainbow said. "And hey, I'll have time to tickle them by myself the next morning, since you'll be back at Twilight's house. Should we reverse the swap?"
"Sure." Applejack said. "I'll take Spike again."
"Oh, I loved being tickled by Spikey Wikey." Rarity said. "But sure, I can go back to Dashie."
"Cool!" Dash said. They returned to where they were before and Spike reached over into the back to tickle Applejack's neck, something he discovered was viable back in the bathtub.
"Heeheehee Spike!" she laughed.
Spike then decided to try something new, using his other hand to tickle Applejack under her chin. Though it didn't seem to do much, as the increase in laughing was minimal or even negligible.
Rainbow decided to use her wings on Rarity for the first time, stroking those bushes of feathers all over her white body at rapid speed. She barely had any time to catch where she was being tickled before Rainbow moved the sensation elsewhere; it was all so, so fast.
Spike liked what he was seeing over there. So he gave AJ another neck stroke, then moved to her belly only to tickle it for just a mere second, then hopping off the bed to go for her hooves. ...Though he couldn't progress as fast as Rainbow was; those orange soles kept hanging above his upward arms.
"Hey, uh, does this room have a step-stool anywhere? I can't reach AJ's hooves." Spike said.
Rainbow Dash didn't see a stool, but she did see another way. "I'll help you out." Rainbow said as she swooped under Spike and let him sit on her back. Now he was on the right level!
"Thanks, Rainbow!" Spike said. He began to tickle Applejack's hooves relentlessly with as fast as he could skitter his fingers. Then later using a brush on one of the hooves, mixed with the finger tickling on the other.
"HAHAHAHEEHEE!" she burst out. Spike was sure loving this. So was Rainbow. They winked at each other before the pegasus flew off.
Spike, back on the bed itself, had now become lost as to what was next.
"Hey Applejack, what's another way I could tickle you?"
"Raspberry?" she suggested. "I haven't had one of those yet."
"Good point." Spike said. He had regained enough breath power and blew on Applejack's belly as hard as he could, causing AJ to squirm underneath his lips. Spike could sure feel it.
"HAHAHA! Haha... ha..." Applejack's laughter drained out as Spike began to switch from tickling to rubbing. He just couldn't resist. "I really did help your coat, AJ. It's so smooth now."
"The coat does feel good." she said. "As does that belly rubbin'. But can ya blow another raspberry?"
Aww, so cute. "With pleasure!" Spike said. His vibrating mouth attacked again. Noises from the cuffs being pulled at could be heard.
Meanwhile, Rarity was enjoying the long-lasting wing assault as it faded away and both ticklers stopped, thinking everypony's had enough.
"Well, this has been fun, but I'd better get back to Twilight's house now." Spike said, looking at his watch.
"Did you enjoy tickling them?" Rainbow asked.
"Did I? This one of the most fun days I've had in a while!" Spike exclaimed.
"It would be up there for me too. Which is odd to say given that I'm a Wonderbolt. I didn't think tickling ponies would be so exhilarating." Rainbow Dash said.
"Learn somethin' new every day." Applejack said as she sat up from the unlocked restraints. "And to be fair with y'all, I'm feelin' pretty tickled out. Might be time to call it a night here."
Rarity looked out the window to see the sky's light blue turning dark. "I feel the same way. And... hey, Applejack, since we'll still be under Rainbow Dash's slavery until tomorrow morning, how about a sleepover?"
"You betcha!" AJ said, pumping her hoof.
"You know what, I think I'll sleep here too. After all, there's no guarantee that I won't sneak up and hoof-cuff you two while you're sleeping so that I can surprise you when you awake..." Rainbow said, holding her hooves behind her back.
They just giggled. "Well, if that does happen, I'm prepared for it." Applejack said.
"And Rainbow, how about you take my bed tonight? I actually plan on sleeping here, 'cause this room feels like home right now!"
"Uh... okay." Rainbow Dash said.
A quick get-ready-for-bed later, the sky was now near its jet-black phase and Rainbow had disappeared into Rarity's room.
The tickled AJ and Rarity looked at each other and happened to mutually feel something they could do together, which Applejack was the one to vocalize. "Should we cuddle?" she said.
Rarity remained silent for a few seconds, hopped off her bed towards the other, and simply replied "Yes."
Applejack smiled. She held up the blankets for Rarity to come under, and as soon as she did, Applejack felt Rarity wrap her forelegs over and under her sides. The warmth and love couldn't do much else but make her extra happy and reciprocate Rarity's action, wrapping the pair in a double-hug.
"You know, Applejack, this is much of an upgrade compared to the early days." Rarity said. "Look at us! We no longer fight over the blankets and such!"
Applejack nodded. "And I'm sure Player 4 appreciates that." They both closed their eyes for the final time that day.
Rarity's eyes fluttered open as she remained relaxed by Applejack holding her, as well as her stomach being rested on by her head.
"Hello, sunshine." Rarity said, looking out the window. She felt that her front legs were raised above her head... but as she checked, they were still mobile. Rainbow Dash hadn't captured them during the night.
Rarity then looked in front of her again. "I guess I'll stay here until this little one wakes up." She said in reference to the still-snoring Applejack.
...
"So... are you two sure you're up for this? I mean, you were tickled a lot yesterday; I can let you go now if you want."
Rarity laid her head back and maintained her body position. "One more, please."
"Yup." Applejack added. "I could use a bit more, and I did want to give this a finale."
"Alright!" Rainbow said. "Just hold still while I put these on."
A few clicks later, the cuffs were on. "Here comes the encore." Rainbow said. Standing in between the two beds, she unraveled her wings and tickled both Rarity and AJ's tummies at the same time, one pony for each wing. One feather was effective; pointy bushes of feathers were hysteric-inducing.
"HEEHEEHEE! HAHAHA!" Rainbow heard in two distinct voices mixing together.
She then turned her body to the side and started hovering a bit, as she spread out and tickled Rarity's sides and tummy using her hooves, while stroking her tail on Applejack's left side.
"HAHAHA--we are so ticklish!" Applejack noted.
If that wasn't ever true. Rainbow moved her tail from AJ's side to under her foreleg, then back again and again, while giving Rarity a raspberry. She had gotten a lot of those.
The laughing absolutely vibrated the room, like Rainbow intended. It was beautiful.
...
Not long thereafter, Rainbow could feel this amazing experience coming to an end. She just figured "It's time." The tickling eased off and she removed the cuffs from their limbs.
"Proud to say that you two are hereby released from my tickling jail." Rainbow pushed the door open and more sunlight came through. "Though, should I be proud?" Rainbow questioned. "You two seemed to really enjoy that."
Rainbow's "victims" smiled at her and delivered what they all were thinking. "Well, we did." Applejack said. "This here 'jail' was nothin' but a pleasure."
"It was." Rarity added. "Especially with Spikey joining in! A welcome surprise!"
"Heh, yeah." Rainbow said. "I forgot he was even in the house, and then it turned into me wanting to name him, from now on, my tickling sidekick."
Applejack giggled. "Well, there will always be more opportunities for you and him!"
"Yeah." Rainbow said with a smile. It was still tough to believe she could look forward to the next time tickling would appear in her life, but she could.
"Well, I'll see you two off!" Rainbow said after they were now outside and she flew to return to her cloud home. "Thanks for the great experience!" her voice yelled out from the sky distance.
Applejack and Rarity knew the perfect way to end this was with a hug. Only... maybe one more word could be said.
"Cute!" a male voice called out from behind. That random stallion who happened to notice the affection may not know what just went on, but either way, his speech perfectly described what Applejack and Rarity were thinking in reference to their session.
"Cute."
