#mlp tickling

Rainbow Dash was trying to be a good friend, she really was! And out of all her friends, Fluttershy was definitely her best one. So she wanted to be extra super duper good to her. But come on, they were at flying camp! There was so much to explore, and Rainbow Dash really wanted to get a headstart on the new flight manuevre they were practicing tomorrow. But all Fluttershy wanted to do was... was nothing!

"Come on, Fluttershy," she groaned. She paced back and forth impatiently on the cloud in front of her friend, where the two were hanging out after class. "Can we please go fly for just five minutes?"

"The teachers said it was going to get windy, Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy said, biting her lip. "And they told us not to practice when it was too windy."

"We're pegasi," Rainbow said in exasperation. "We're supposed to learn how to fly when its windy!"

"But we just started learning! And I don't want us to get lost, or get hurt, or get in trouble..." She trailed off, but to Rainbow's surprise she held her ground. "I'm not going out, and I don't think you should either."

A beat. Then Rainbow Dash sighed dramatically before flopping down next to Fluttershy, rubbing her face on the soft cloud.

"Fine," she said. "Guess we'll just stay here and do nothing."

"Aw, come on, Dashy," Fluttershy said sympathetically. "There's other stuff to do besides flying! We can tell stories, or play the quiet game--"

"The quiet game isn't even a game!" Rainbow Dash whined.

"It can be!" Fluttershy insisted. Rainbow shut her eyes and sighed again; if she'd been looking up she might've noticed the little glimmer in Fluttershy's eyes. "Here, let's play."

Rainbow Dash felt herself pout. She could be quiet. She could be the quietest ever. Not that that was much fun at all, but--

Suddenly there was a purposeful nudge against her side, wiggling into her flank and sending Rainbow shooting upwards with a scream.

"Hey!" She flew on instinct, circling around the in the air like she was trying to chase the tingles away, before moving to hover suspiciously above Fluttershy. "What the heck was that?"

Fluttershy didn't answer her question; instead she looked up with a smile just this side of cheeky. "You lost."

A beat, and Rainbow's jaw dropped. "What? That was totally cheating!"

"Well, you said the quiet game wasn't enough of a game for you," she replied, "so I decided to make it harder! But if you think it's too hard..."

It was bait, and Rainbow Dash knew it, but it didn't stop her from puffing her chest out. "No way! I just wasn't ready-- I can stay quiet, no problem!"

"Oh, good!" Fluttershy replied. "Come back down here and we'll do it again."

Her voice was all innocent, but it still made Rainbow Dash nervous. But she said she could do it, and now she had no choice-- she eased back down to the cloud next to Fluttershy.

"Ready?" Fluttershy asked, and Rainbow Dash barely even had time to answer before she leaned down to nuzzle her nose against Rainbow's side. She jerked to the side on instinct, but she didn't break. She could do this!

But Fluttershy was determined-- she nuzzled harder, wiggling her nose from side to side and letting her long pink hair brush against Rainbow's underbelly. Rainbow tried to shift away, but she was suddenly met with a fluttery feeling on her other side. Fluttershy's wing! It was stretched over her as far as it could reach, and her delicate feathers were tracing all over the side Rainbow thought would be safe from tickles.

Rainbow remembered that Fluttershy had a brother, which must be why the shy pony was suddenly so good at being mischievous. She could feel her face twisted, biting hard on the inside of her cheek, but the trembling twitchy feeling in her tummy wouldn't go away.

"Oh, you're very good at this, Dashy!" Fluttershy said. She pulled away, and Rainbow took the chance to take a few deep breaths. She almost said something taunting in return, before remembering that she had to be quiet, duh!

Suddenly her knees buckled, and she had to choke back the gasp that almost escaped her mouth. Fluttershy had moved behind her when Rainbow was distracted, and without any warning she'd reared back on her hind legs to wrap her forelegs around Rainbow's body, her hooves pressing and wiggling blindly over Rainbow's tummy. Rainbow barely kept back a whine as she shifted from hoof to hoof. Oh man, that tickled!

"You've got this, Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy cheered, like she wasn't the one tickling Rainbow at this very second. Again her hair draped down, sending itchy tingles across Rainbow's skin, and she stamped her feet trying to ignored the tickly feeling. Even Fluttershy's breath on her back sent sparky tickles up her neck.

"Mmmmmmmm-hmmmm!"

It took everything in her power to keep from laughing right now. Rainbow suddenly realized with a start that they never said how long she had to be quiet for-- was Fluttershy just gonna keep going until she laughed? Was it even possible for her to win?

But before she could even try to start a fight about that, Fluttershy's wings curled around her once again, fluttering and tracing and dancing all over Rainbow's sides, her tummy, her neck--

"Ahhhhhahahahahaha!"

That was all Rainbow Dash could do before she collapsed to the ground, rolling to the side and launching Fluttershy back onto the cloud next to her. She landed with a small 'oomph' that Rainbow Dash couldn't even hear over her own giggles.

"You suck," she said in between breaths, rolling around on the ground to try to dispel the tingly feelings that were still running across her skin.

Fluttershy didn't seem offended. "You lasted a long time! That must've been difficult for you."

Rainbow flushed. "You made it difficult for me!"

"Yes, I did," Fluttershy replied, a tone of smugness Rainbow Dash had never heard in her voice before. "But at least you weren't bored!"

Rainbow paused. That was true. She hadn't been bored playing the game; in fact, it had been kinda fun. She'd do it again.

Suddenly she froze before narrowing her eyes at Fluttershy with an evil smile.

"Your turn."

"My turn?" Fluttershy blinked once before her eyes widened. "Wait-- Dashy-- hehehehehey!"
