The theater was full tonight for the famous idol singer Miku Hatsune's latest concert. Her countless fervent fans and lovers screamed and shouted to see the girl who owned their hearts, complete with huge banners expressing their love for her…

A worker approached the dressing room with the golden star on its door, and knocked. "The concert starts in 2 minutes" he warned…

Inside, Miku was hastily getting dressed, putting on the makeup and taking care of last-minute touches to look absolutely perfect to be welcomed by her audience. The only thing left was putting on her boots. Her black stocking-like legwear actually only reached up to her ankles, so without the boots her feet were bare…

Miku went for her boots, she grabbed the left boot and put it on, but then she tried to reach for the right one, only to find it entirely missing. "What? …Okay, where the heck is the other boot?" she complained as she started searching the entire dressing room…

In the hall outside the dressing room, just around the corner, another famous idol singer known as Akita Neru was silently giggling, holding Miku's right boot in her hand. "That'll teach you to embarrass me at my concert!" she whispered, while remembering one time when Miku pranked her by hooking Akita's skirt to part of the scenery, causing it to rip and showing Akita's panties to the audience. The audience bled from their noses and loved Akita for it…

"Miku! The concert is going to start!" she was warned from outside the door…

Miku had literally flipped everything in the dressing room upside down and still couldn't find her right boot. "Just one more minute!" she said, faking a sweet voice to hide her anger. "Where is that darn boot?" she whispered angrily while searching more…

"We can't keep them waiting any longer! The fans are getting upset! You have to come out to the stage now!" the voice at the other side of the door said…

"Okay, okay! I'm coming!" Miku yelled back angrily, scaring the guy that was warning her from the other side of the door…

At the stage, the fans couldn't wait any longer and were screaming at the top of their lungs for Miku to come out…

Just the sight of Miku's left foot stepping out of the side of the stage already put the fans in a euphoric state. But then, sudden silence, because they witnessed Miku walk out with one boot and one foot…

Miku's cheeks were bright red from the public embarrassment. "Konnichi wa, minna!" she greeted while faking a happy face, pretending this wasn't happening…

However, the audience suddenly resumed screaming and cheering. Miku noticed that they seemed unusually excited and happier than usual to see her…

"Good! Seems they're not noticing… Alright! Time to charm them with my voice!" Miku thought, and then she started singing, doing her best to ignore the fact she was standing on one bare foot in front of an audience of millions…

Unfortunately for poor Miku, that was just the start of her problems. Akita had already snuck under the stage, ready for the next step of her revenge prank. She somehow removed a tile from the floor right behind where Miku would stand for the concert. Akita then slowly drove a long white fluffy feather through that hole, and stroked Miku's one bare sole with it. Miku felt the sudden tickling sensation on the bare sole of her right foot, right in the middle of singing a line of her song, and tried to resist. She finally let out a giggle when that line ended and she could take a short break before singing her next line…

Miku hoped that little slip-up would go unnoticed, but the audience actually grew happier and more euphoric than before. Miku assumed they hadn't noticed it and decided that the show must continue…

While Miku continued to sing, below the stage Akita licked her own fingers to make them wet, and then placed the wet fingers right on Miku's bare sole right as she was finishing another line. This caused her to let out a sudden involuntary laugh. Not just a mere giggle this time, but a loud and clear "Ahahahahaha!"

Now Miku knew she was in trouble. A loud sudden laugh like that in the middle of the song certainly wouldn't go unnoticed. She feared the worst…

But no, instead the audience became even more excited and euphoric. Miku couldn't understand why. It looked as if they had loved that involuntary laugh that resulted from her being tickled. That didn't stop her from feeling embarrassed anyway…

Miku continued to sing regardless, meanwhile Akita got a vibrating toothbrush. Akita brought the toothbrush to Miku's sensitive bare sole and had it vibrate there, causing Miku to giggle right in the middle of singing a line, causing that part of the song to become distorted and unintelligible by Miku's own laugh…

Poor Miku felt humiliated. She was sure that the audience would boo her if she continued to fail like that. But contrary to her expectation, the audience seemed to enjoy her making mistakes and get excited each time she giggled or laughed from the tickling. This did not make Miku feel any happier, just humiliated in a different way…

She nevertheless continued to sing, pretending that nothing happened. She tried to endure and resist the tickles from the fluffy feather duster that Akita was using to stroke her beautiful and feminine foot with, but couldn't help letting out a few giggles between lines…

Fortunately, Miku was nearing the end of the song. This was the last verse. Finally! Just a few words more and the song would be over. Just a few seconds more…

Miku started singing the last line of the song, but Akita waited until the very last word to suddenly take the vibrating toothbrush to Miku's bare foot. Miku was caught off-guard, and the last word of her song became "Ahahahahaha!"

Miku felt she was done for. She was sure that this time the audience wouldn't let it slide. She had ruined the very end of the song…

But instead the audience clapped and cheered. Miku was confused. She had completely blown it yet the audience loved it? She showed up with one bare foot and the audience liked it, she laughed and giggled throughout the whole song and the audience cheered for it. Did they know she was being tickled and were enjoying it? Maybe those otaku nerds were getting sexually aroused from her foot being tickled? Miku was disgusted at that last thought, but decided to fake a happy mood and bow to the audience as thanks for their appreciation…

The next day, Miku was sitting in her trailer, feeling bad about what had happened during the concert last night, but then her cell phone rang. "Hello?" she sadly answered the phone…

"Miku, it's me!" the voice of the producer said. "The concert of last night was an enormous success! We earned truckloads of money!"

"What?" Miku said, highly susprised. "B-But how? I giggled and laughed like a moron throughout the whole thing!"

"Exactly, my dear Miku-chan!" the producer happily said. "Listen, I have an idea for a new show: Vocaloids being tickled while singing! The fans are gonna love it! We're going to make a fortune out of this!"

Miku was left speechless. The funny expression of her face said it all: it was the face of someone thinking "Oh, crap!"

"Miku? …Miku, you still there?" the producer said over the phone, not hearing Miku's answer…

The end.
