Chapter 58

Early Sunday afternoon. Yang, Ruby, Coco, Velvet, and Ilia were in 'Lady Amitola's', belonging to her Aunt Tock. The establishment was currently closed, Tock and Ilia's cousin Trifa going fishing to restock their seafood inventory. "Alright Ruby, I'm going to ask you some questions, then we'll have you fill out some paperwork" Velvet said.

"Sure."

"Alright. How old are you? And do you have a photo ID?"

"Yes, I'm nineteen" Ruby answered, taking out her wallet to show her driver's license.

Velvet took a photo of it. "Good. What size shoe do you wear?"

"Seven."

"What would do you like your alias to be?"

Ruby took a moment to think, before one came to mind, "Autumn."

"Ooo nice. Aaand are your feet ticklish?"

"Insanely"

"Hehe, not surprising. Okay, just sign your name where I marked and then you'll choose your contacts" Velvet said, turning the packet of papers and handing Ruby her pen. After she wrote her signature several times, she handed them back. "Congrats, you're now officially a foot girl of Vale. Here…" Velvet slid the box of contacts before her. "Pick a color."

"…Hmm…" Ruby skimmed through them, before selecting burgundy. "I think I'll go with these.

From the kitchen, Ilia came out carrying a platter of food, setting it on the table of the booth they were sitting at. "Sorry for the wait, I had to clean really quick" she said. Yang and Ruby slid over so she could join them. On the platter were two chicken sandwiches, a turkey sub, a basket of fried butterfly shrimp, and onion rings to be shared by them all. They each took their meals and began eating.

"Mm~ so good" Yang said.

"Thanks, that sauce is my aunt's secret ingredient."

"Where will we go to film?" Ruby asked curiously.

"I actually have a pretty fun idea" Velvet said. "My mom and dad are out of town, and my dad's hemp crop is fully grown. If you guys want to help me harvest them, we can have a nice and chill film session outdoors"

"Hemp? You mean…marijuana?" Ruby asked.

"Yeah. Do you partake?"

"No, I never tried it."

"Well, maybe now's your chance"

"Velvet don't peer pressure her. You don't have to try if you don't want to Ruby" Yang said.

"*Tsk* Please Yang, you're one of the biggest potheads I know" Velvet said as she ate another shrimp.

"I don't smoke that much…just every now and again, and when I hang out with you two."

"…I think I'll try it" Ruby said.

The sister in her made Yang want to object, but she had to accept the fact that Ruby was an adult; she could make her own choices. "…Alright. I guess for your first time it's best to be in a safe environment. Are we going after this?"

"Sure, just follow us when we leave." Velvet said.

Yang and Ruby rode together on Bumblebee, following Coco, Ilia, and Velvet in her car. Their ride took them to the cusp of Vale's countryside, until they eventually arrived at her house. It was a moderate sized estate, the community located in the valley of extreme hills. When they pulled into her driveway, Yang and Ruby dismounted, while the others got out as well. "Welcome to my humble abode" Velvet said.

Yang and Ruby took off their helmets, "So where's the farm?"

"We'll have to take another short ride. Follow me" Velvet said. She led them around her house to the back. There was a large spruce wood barn, while the yard expanded into the forest beyond. When they arrived at the doors, Velvet used a key to unlock it before prying them open. As she did, a powerful scent wafted in their faces.

"*Sniiff* Holy shit" Ilia said.

"Uh-huh, this is the cure house" Velvet said as they stepped inside. In the center were two 4x4 buggies with long flat beds, while layers of clothing wires aligned the walls all the way up to the second level. In the corners, large fans blew to keep the temperature cool. On the right laid several lidded pales, each labeled differently: Raspberry Haze, Cherry Pie, Girl Scout Cookies, Blue Dream, Purple Punch, Wedding Cake, and Lemonade. "Alright Ruby, since it's your first time, we'll start you with something light" she said, walking over and picking up the bucket of Blue Dream. She pried the lid off and took a sniff, the bucket filled to the brim with buds. She then took a sandwich bag out of her satchel, grabbing a handful to put inside. "Okay, let's do this."

They all got into the two buggies, pulling them out of the barn so she could lock the doors. When she got back in, she guided them to a dirt trail leading to the forest. The ride took less than five minutes, the trail leading them uphill, then downhill, then uphill again, until they finally approached a clearing. They shut off the engines and stepped out. Yang, Ruby, and Ilia all became amazed. The plot of land had numerous hemp trees spread throughout, all different sizes and colors: light greens, dark greens, purples, cyans, yellows, and oranges. "Woooww~" Yang awed.

"Yeah, most people don't realize how beautiful hemp trees are. Growing outdoors is really the only way they'll reach their full potential" Velvet said. From the backseat of her buggy, she grabbed a picnic blanket. "It's gonna take a while to harvest all of them, so let's do the film session first."

"With the trees as a backdrop? That's awesome." Ilia said. They walked through the vast crop, settling between several of the trees with purple leaves and bright orange nodes in their buds. Ilia read the small sign between them, "…'Sorbet'? These are really pretty."

"They smell wonderful too. Such a soothing, sweet terp profile ~" Coco said, tugging one of the branches to smell their flowers.

Velvet laid out the checkered blanket, "Alright Ruby, let's knock out your intro shoot" she said. They all removed their shoes and took a spot on the thick woven fabric. Opening her satchel, she took out her own customized camera, maple brown with gold colored trim. She handed the bag of pot to Coco, who took a grinder, rolling papers, and filters out of her purse. Ruby scooted to the center, while Yang and Ilia joined Coco as she grinded several buds. Taking off her socks, Ruby wiped off flakes of lint before laying her feet out beside each other. "Oo you have really cute toes~" Velvet said.

"Hehe, thanks. I take care of them as best I can" Ruby said, looking at her dark rouge nail polish. She opened her contact case, putting one in after the other. Blinking thrice, she leaned back on her hands, rubbing her left foot on her right.

"Nice. Keep 'em just like that and give me a good smile" Velvet said holding up the camera. When Ruby did, she took several snaps, "Good. Now scrunch your toes like so" she instructed, making a claw gesture with her hand. "Just like that. Now spread them wide… …aaand cross your ankles" she said. Ruby put her right foot over her left, and Velvet took the last set of shots. "Great, now point at them." With a smirk, Ruby emphatically gestured at her feet as one more snap was taken. "Excellent, you're a natural."

"Is that it?"

"Almost too easy, right?" Yang said.

"Yeah" Ruby said, sitting up cross-legged.

Coco put the joint she rolled between her lips, lighting the tip, and taking several puffs. "Okay Ruby. Since you a newbie, just do this…" she demonstrated, taking a tiny puff before passing it to her.

Ruby took it. Mimicking Coco, she inhaled for a second then exhaled, coughing a few times then handing it back. "… …Well? Do you feel it?" Yang asked.

"…I'm not sure. I think…woah… …woahoho~"

"There it is" Velvet said as she puffed twice, passing the joint to Ilia.

"How does it feel?" Yang asked.

"It…feels like my body's floating…yet expanding at the same time. Like the world is constantly repeating itself, but how it actually is."

"…Yup, she's stoned. Let's film a group clip" Velvet suggested.

"Do I have to memorize any lines?" Ruby asked.

"Not really. It's your first clip so you'll mostly just pose your feet. There may be a little improv, in which case just play along" Coco explained, taking a camcorder out of her purse. Velvet, Ilia, and Yang moved to sit beside Ruby as they took their socks off. Yang and Velvet put their contacts in too, while Ilia shifted to her Alexia persona, her skin becoming a Vacuan tan, while her hair and eyes turned dark red. "Ready? Recording in three…two…one…"

"Welcome Autumn. It's nice to have you join the team" Velvet said.

"Thanks. When my big sis told me about this gig, I just had to give it a shot" Ruby said, nudging Yang's arm.

"You have really cute feet. Must run in the family" Ilia said as she passed the joint.

Yang took it, "I'd say so."

Ruby watched as Coco lowered the camcorder to get a close up of their soles, "So we literally just sit here and let them gawk at our feet?"

"Uh-huh, footboys are always easy to please. You'll come to find our fans are as dedicated as they come" Yang passed her the joint.

"Didn't you mention you had your own footboy too?" Ilia asked.

Ruby was confused for a second, but caught on to what she meant, "Oh, yeah I do. He's great; rubs my feet anytime he gets the chance, and he likes kissing my toes too" she said as she took another puff, exhaling before passing to Velvet.

"I hope he knows how lucky he is. Imagine how many watching would pay to snack on those little piggies~" Velvet said.

"You sound like you're dying to yourself" Ilia said.

"How can I not be? Her toes look so juicy and succulent~"

This made Ruby blush, "Thanks."

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. Another perk of this is that you can have feet worshipped whenever you want. Wanna try?" Yang asked.

"…Sure, I guess"

With a smile, Velvet passed the joint back to Yang, as she and Ilia lied on their stomachs in the iconic 'pose'. They propped themselves with their elbows next to Ruby and Yang's feet respectively. Yang crossed her left over her right, allowing Ilia to kiss her arch before dragging her tongue along its length. Velvet lifted Ruby's right foot from her heel, putting her nose between her toes to smell them.

Ruby blushed again. She had her shoes on for a while, so they probably smelled quite strong. When Velvet started kissing her foot though, she sighed. She loved how lips felt on her soles, a fact she discovered when Oscar did it the first time. Coupled with how stoned she was, the experience was very relaxing. "Hehe!"

"Sorry, did that tickle?" Velvet asked, Ruby flinching when she flicked her tongue between her toes.

"Yes. I'm very ticklish. When…my footboy tried that, I accidentally kicked him in the face."

"Jeez. How about this?"

"Haa~… mmhm that's nice~" Ruby moaned. Velvet wrapped her lips around her big toe, sucking it lightly. This sensation was completely new to her, as Velvet closed her eyes blissfully. She moved to her index and middle toes, taking both in her mouth at the same time. Ruby bit her lip, Velvet seemed to be really into it, kissing her digits compassionately before moving to the last two.

"Hmm, I think I'll have what she's having~" Yang said. Ilia obliged without question, sitting up and lifting both of Yang's feet. With a kiss to her soles, she trailed up and took both her big toes between her lips. Velvet did the same, lifting Ruby's other foot too. They spent the next several minutes sucking every one of the sisters' toes, while Coco made sure to get every good viewpoint she could.

"…*sigh* I almost don't want this to stop" Ruby chided.

"Tell me about it" Yang cooed as well.

"Mmm~ I can show you something better."

"Really? Let's see it" Ruby said. She watched the rabbit faunus shift her seating to face Coco. But then, she wrapped her arm tightly around her ankles, while her free hand scribbled her nails into her soles, "PFFHAHAHAHAHAHAA! *gasp* WAIHAIHAHAHAHAHA!" Ruby exploded with laughter. She was blindsided, Velvet fingers ravaging her most sensitive sweet spot. "HAHAHAHA! *gasp* STOP STOP STOHOHAHAHAHAHAA!" she tried pulling her feet away, but they did not budge. Velvet's faunus strength made her hold iron tight. The sensation quickly overwhelmed Ruby, making her fall on her back and flail like a child.

Yang and Ilia acted like they didn't notice. Finishing the joint, Yang teasingly smothered Ilia's face underfoot. She inhaled several times, reaching up to rub the tops of Yang's feet before treating herself to another taste. "Mmm I love when you do that~" Yang said. Ilia trailed up her soles, circling her tongue all over them. When she got to her toes again, Yang spread them wide invitingly.

"PLEHEHEASE! *gasp* MAHAHAHAKE HER STOHOHOP! *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! *gasp* AHAHAHAHAHAA! *gasp* HEHEHELP!"

Yang and Ilia looked at each, "She wants us to help" Ilia said.

Yang reluctantly pulled her legs back. "*sigh* Okay Autumn, if you insist."

Ruby was so happy to hear her say that… …but instead, they grinned deviously and joined in. "NO! NONONOHOHO! *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *gasp* FUHUHUCK YOUHUHU! *gasp* GEHEHET AWAHAHAHAY! *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! *gasp* *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! *gasp* I CAHAHAN'T HAHAHAHA! *gasp* HAHAHAHAHA!" It was way too much for her. Yang chose to attack her stomach and ribs, while Ilia joined Velvet at her feet, thirty sharp nails scratching and clawing her skin. She felt like she was about to pass out, until the suddenly stopped and let her go. She laid there, eagerly filling her lungs while processing what just happened.

"Aaaand cut" Coco said.

"*pant*…*pant*…What the hell?!" Ruby asked irately.

"Initiation. When a model gets worshipped the first time, they get tickled too. Every one of us went through the same thing" Yang explained.

"Not me" Ilia chided.

"What? Why?"

"Because if she does, this happens"

"Ah! Hehehey! *gasp* Hahahahahaha!" Yang pinched and squeezed Ilia's sides, making her skin and hair pulsate colors at random.

"…Woah"

"Hehe, yeah we can't risk possibly giving our fans seizures" Coco said.

"You said you wanted to try being tickled too right?" Yang asked.

Ruby sat up, "Not anymore! I'm never doing that again."

"Uh-huh, we all said the same thing" Coco said.

Velvet checked her watch, "We should get to chopping these babies down. I'll go get the hedge clippers. When we're done, we can smoke again if you're up for it, then we can probably order some food."

"Sounds like a plan" Yang said. Velvet put her shoes back, standing up to go get the tools from the buggies. The others did so too, taking a moment to bask in the scenery, appreciating their last look at the crop before they harvested them.
