The Floating Salmon were currently all sitting together, having a peaceful time at breakfast. That is, it WAS peaceful, before the sound of bitter bickering came closer, and they turned to see the cheerleader twin sisters, Amy and Sammy, in the midst of an argument.
"Ugh, I swear, Samey! You have been nothing but dead weight for this whole game! Though that shouldn't really be much of a surprise, since you've been dead weight, even back at home!" The twin with the mole said snootily.
"Oh, it's not like YOUR any better! No matter what the situation is, you just wait for me to do something, and make it seem like YOU were the one to pull it off, you whiny, narcissistic slave driver!" Sammy snapped off at her older sister.
"Um, no, not true at all! I was naturally born with all the talents and all the beauty and the brainpower, because I was the one who came out at the right time! Waiting for you to come out for those 17 minutes felt like a lifetime, I still wonder why mommy didn't go through with the abortion, like I know she wanted!"
These words stung Sammy's pride, and she felt tears starting to build up, but she stood firm as she seethed. "There you go again, using the "first born" card to justify treating me like garbage all the time! You keep saying I'm nothing but an extra you, what would make you think that ANYONE would EVER want to be another version of you?! Even when not counting your treatment of ME, you just expect everyone to grovel and worship the ground you walk on! YOUR NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD, AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BOSS ANYONE AROUND, ESPECIALLY NOT ME!" She stormed off to go blow off some steam.
Amy rolled her eyes, and sat down. "Ugh, I'd call her back here to eat, but she's such a lost cause, and she obviously has no strength to build up, so I'd say that THING is better off starving." She muttered under her breath, before she found herself being grabbed by the collar, and lifted off the ground by Jasmine. The tall Aussie girl gave off such an icy glare, that it made Amy's haughtiness shrink.
"You listen here, and you listen good, you smug little Sheila. That THING has been doing everything for you, because she's wanted a regular sisterly relationship, and you think that by yelling at her, calling her useless, and crushing her spirits, that YOUR worth keeping on this team over her? If I weren't about to go and give her the comfort she needs, I'd sock you in the mouth right now." She dropped the mean twin harshly back on the ground, and left to go console Sammy. As Amy got up to think about what happened, she imagined Jasmine actually punching her right in the mouth, and shuddered at the vision. One swing from one of those fists would likely have sent her teeth down her throat.
The de facto leader of the team climbed up to their treehouse, and looked to see Sammy face down on her bed, slight tear stains on her pillow. Jasmine's heart dropped at seeing her friend so broken, and stepped inside to cheer up the cheerleader. "Hey now, don't let her lies get to you, otherwise you'll be making her look right, and you obviously don't want that."
"It's not that, it's just that...it's so unfair! I joined this show to get away from my sister, because she already makes my home life hard to deal with, but she just HAD to sign up as well, because the idea of me having ANYTHING nice at all, is apparently a crime even worse than murder. What did I ever do to deserve such treatment?" The cheerleader sobbed softly.
"You didn't do anything, she's just an awful person, and I'm not going to just sit by, and let her treatment of you go on any longer. What she says about you does NOT accurately define you. It's like I keep saying, you've got to stand up for yourself first, if you want others to come to your defense. And if she gets snippy with you, get snippy right back." Jasmine said soothingly as she leaned over and stroked Sammy's back.
The blonde stood up from her bed, and hugged Jasmine gently. They hadn't even known each other that long, but Sammy could see in Jasmine the exact opposite of Amy. Wise, gentle, and loving. In other words, Jasmine felt more like a real sister to her than her actual sister ever could have.
"It feels so good to know that there's ONE friend I've made, that WON'T turn on me, just because Amy told them to. Thank you so much Jasmine, I don't know how I could ever repay you." She smiled gratefully at her friend.
"No need to repay me, just felt like comforting you. You've likely cried so much, it's about time you had a good laugh. And I think I know just the game that can do that." She grinned slyly as she gently poked both of Sammy's sides.
"Eeep!" She squealed as she giggled up a storm. This brought back memories from when she was little, when Amy would tickle her to get her to do anything, like make her do her homework, or to get her to hand over her toys. This time, however, it wasn't coming from her sister, but rather a friend who wanted to see her smile, so she knew she could make a special exception.
Jasmine continued to gently glide her hands up and down her friend's sides. "Tickle, tickle, tickle~!" She cooed playfully as her fingers skittered along Sammy's sensitive skin.
"Hahahahahahahhahahahahaha! Easy Jasmine, I'm suhuhuhuhuper tihihihihicklish!" Sammy told her as she giggled. "I can see that, and that's what makes this so much fun." Jasmine remarked before she moved on from the sides and went for the cheerleader's belly.
Sammy continued to squirm around as she let her friend tickle her to happiness. Jasmine eventually playfully wrestled her down to the ground before continuing, scribbling one hand on her abdomen and swirling a finger around inside of her belly button.
Sammy suddenly felt her long boots being pulled off, leaving her bare feet exposed. Her ankles were currently being held by Jasmine in a headlock, as she turned with a playful smirk. "I'd wager a guess that I just found out your worst spot."
The cheerleader's eyes went wide, and before she could say anything, she felt Jasmine scribbling her fingers on the heels of Sammy's feet. "Pfff-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OHOHOHOHOHOH, GEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEZ!"
"Yup, I was right." Jasmine said as she dug her fingernails into Sammy's soft soles. She felt good that she was making such a kind girl smile and laugh, after all her years of abuse from her sister. She opted to take things up a notch, as she took her friend's toes, held them back, and started to tickle underneath them.
"EEEEE! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Sammy just pounded her fists on the ground as tears streamed down her cheeks from laughing so hard. While Jasmine proved to be as ruthless as Amy when it comes to tickling, she obviously knew how to make it a fun game rather than a form of punishment.
Jasmine finally stopped and decided to let go of Sammy's feet. The sweet cheerleader laid sprawled out on the floor, gasping for air. Once she did, she sat up and smiled gratefully at her friend.
"Soooo, how did you like the game?" Jasmine asked slyly, as her friend rolled her eyes playfully while slipping her boots back on. "Eh, it was alright, I guess. But I think I know of a much better game to play." She smirked a bit at this.
"Oh? And what game would that be?" Jasmine asked with curiosity. "Keep away." Sammy said, and before Jasmine could question her further, she reached out, and grabbed the Aussie's hat off her head, before placing it on her own head, and running for the door.
"Hey now, come back here with my hat!" The tall, dark-skinned girl called out to her friend. Sammy turned to her with a playful grin. "If you want it, you'll have to come and get it." She winked and stuck her tongue out at her just to further tease her, before heading out the door, jumping down to the ground, and running off while laughing giddily.
"Haha! Oh you cheeky little scamp, your gonna get it now!" Jasmine laughed goodheartedly before she followed after her friend by climbing down the tree to try and get her hat back. Sammy knew that she took a big risk with this move, but she felt it was all worth it, due to how much fun the both of them were obviously having with the whole thing.
Alright, that's another idea down. I always appreciated Jasmine for being the friend that Sammy obviously needed, and I hoped to see more of their friendship, before Amy came and ruined everything. Ugh, I really can't fucking stand Amy.
