After Pahkitew Island had ended, Ella gasped as she watched the end of the finale, where Dave was left behind to be presumably mauled by Scuba Bear. So she set off to find him, and help get him to a hospital, as soon as possible.
The germaphobe awoke after having been passed out for a while, and looked around his surroundings. "Huh? Where am I? What's' going on?" He asked. He turned and saw Ella looking at him worriedly, which turned to relief as she smiled with a sigh.
"Oh Dave, it's simply wonderful to see that your alright!" She said as she gently hugged him, so as not to cause any stinging pain. "Ella? What are you doing here?" He asked.
Just then, a doctor walked in and was relieved to see that Dave was conscious once more. "Well, glad to see that our patient is finally up. It's a good thing this young lady here brought you in when she did. Otherwise, you likely wouldn't have made it." He explained.
Dave turned the singing fairytale princess with eyes wide with shock. "You really brought me on your own? Wow, gee. Thanks Ella." He told her with a grateful smile, to which she giggled and blushed.
While he appreciate her gratitude, he slowly slumped back into a bout of depression. "Feeling alright there, son? What's wrong?" The doctor asked when he took notice of Dave's mood change.
"Oh, it's just something that will take longer to heal than a bear mauling; a broken heart." He muttered sadly, as he felt tears starting to build up. "My dream girl was on the brink of winning a million dollars, so when I got chosen to help her out, she kissed me to get me motivated to help her. But then, it turned out to be completely pointless, because of the fact that she already HAD a boyfriend back home!" He finished, as he finally let the tears flow. "Oh, Sky! Why did you have to do me dirty like that?!"
Ella watched with sympathy to her dream prince, which turned to fury with Sky. She was normally very peaceful and didn't get upset with anybody, but she was already fully aware of what Sky had done by watching the whole series on TV, and she decided that she had to go after her, and punish her promptly. She stroked Dave's shoulder soothingly.
"Don't you worry, Dave. I'll see to it that Sky doesn't get out of this without punishment." She told him as she left the hospital, and came to a stop in the woods. There, she begun to sing in order to call in the many animal friends that she had made, and she knew that she was ready.
Meanwhile, Sky was down at the local gymnasium, practicing and shaping herself up for the day when she would become an Olympian gymnast. She wouldn't let losing out on the million damper her drive, as she lifted weights and gave each of the punching bags a few good swings. She was the only one there, so nobody would come to her aid for what was in store for her.
Sky had decided to take a quick break after all her hard training, and was currently lying down flat on a mat, while listening to music to cleanse her thoughts. She was so focused on what she was hearing that she didn't notice that she was being pinned underneath a couple of heavy dumbbells until it was too late.
"Huh? What the?" She finally noticed what was happening as she tried to squirm her way out from underneath, ultimately failing. As she groaned in annoyance, she looked up and was surprised to see Ella leaning down at her with a unusual scowl on her face. It was kind of weird and unsettling.
"Uh, Ella? Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked nervously. "You should know very well what you've done! Shame on you, Sky, playing around with Dave's heart like that!" Ella scolded the athlete.
"I was going to break up with Keith when I got home, so that I could be with Dave then! And he's not completely innocent in this, he always cut me off when I was going to explain it to him!" The gymnast explained. but Ella was having none of it.
"Regardless, he's in the hospital right now because of his bear mauling, but he feels even worse with a broken heart, on account of what you did to him! So I'm seeing to it that you get proper punishment!" With that declaration, Sky was getting nervous.
"Wha-What are you going to do to me?" She asked the pink princess. "Oh, I haven't exactly been honest. My friends will be the ones to punish you, I'm not going to do much of anything besides this." She said as she bent over and removed both of Sky's shoes, exposing her bare feet. When the athlete showed confusion at this, Ella just turned and called out. "Alrighty, my furry and feathered friends! It's time to come out and play!" She said in a singsong voice.
She was answered by a pair of rabbits, a couple of birds, a pair of deer, and a bear coming out of the woods, ready for their duty. The deer walked over to the pinned down athlete, and turned around before starting to brush their soft tails on her feet.
Sky's eyes went wide with shock and a smile formed on her face before she broke out into a fit of giggling. "Hehehehehehehehehehehe! Nohohohohohoho, that tihihihihihihickles! Cohohohohohome on, Ehehehehehehella! Dohohohohon't yohohohohou thihihihihihink thihihihihihis is unnehehehehehecessahahahahahary?!" She asked amongst her giggles.
"Like I said, you needed to face punishment for breaking Dave's heart, this seemed like the best non-violent choice." While she was angry with her friend over her choice of actions, Ella would never be cruel enough to even think of using physical violence as punishment.
As the deer continued to brush their tails back and forth on Sky's feet, she wriggled about under the weights keeping her from escaping. "Ehehehehehella, plehehehehehehease! It wahahahahas nohohohohohothing pehehehehersonahahahahal, thehehehehehere ahahahare lohohohohohots of peheheheheople who mahahahake quehehehestionable chohohohohoices ahahahall the tihihihihihihime!" She tried to reason with the princess.
"Be that as it may, what you did has me not only upset with you, but irritated, as well. You knew very well that I liked Dave, but seeing as he had feelings for you, I trusted you to love him, and make him happy in ways that I can only dream of doing, so to see that my sacrifice essentially was all for nothing because of what you did, I'd say I'm justified in putting you through this." Ella declared.
After a couple of minutes, the deer stopped and walked away, having done their part. Then the rabbits hopped over, and began to rub their furry faces on Sky's feet. They stroked their floppy ears between her toes, nuzzled into her soles with their twitchy noses, and tickled her heels with their soft whiskers. The athlete immediately went into another fit of giggling, as she couldn't pull her feet away.
"Nohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho! Ehehehehehehella, mahahahahahahahahake thehehehehehehem stohohohohohohohohop, plehehehehehehehehehease! I cahahahahahahan't tahahahahahahke it!" Sky begged as she giggled some more, but Ella seemed adamant on making sure each one of her animal friends would get a turn with the athlete's feet.
Another couple of minutes passed, and the rabbits hopped away happily, before the group of birds flew over to have some fun of their own. They stroked their feathery wings on Sky's feet, and occasionally pecked at them, as well. Sky's giggling had turned to light laughter. "Aww, cohohohohohohohome ohohohohohohohon! Juhuhuhuhuhust stohohohohohohohohohop, wihihihihihihill ya?!" She asked her tormentors in desperation, but couldn't get through to them, on account of their loyalty to the pink songbird.
"I'm sorry Sky, but you can't say that you didn't have this coming." Ella said as she watched the gymnast continue to buck and squirm at the utter mercy of her animal friends. If she thought that this was unbearable, wait until she saw the last part of the punishment.
The birds stopped after a while, and Sky had been given the chance to catch her breath after everything she had been put through. As she did, Ella took out a paintbrush, and a jar of honey. She dipped the brush into the jar, and began to paint a thick coating of the substance on Sky's feet. On her soles, along her arches, in between her toes, Ella made sure there wasn't a single bare spot left unpainted.
Sky had already been giggling again, because the brush tickled her, and she squirmed around as she felt something sticky and gooey being applied to her feet. "Ewww! Whahahahahahahahahat is thahahahahahat stuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuff?!" She asked as she looked to see what was going on. Her eyes went wide with horror, as behind Ella, the bear was sitting there, licking his lips hungrily.
"Oh no...Oh no, Ella please! Please not that! Anything but that!" She begged, and tried for a final time to pull herself out from under the weights, getting the exact same results as she had gotten every other time she tried; not even a sliver of success.
Ella got done, and turned her attention to the bear. "There you are, my friend, your yummy treat is ready!" She cooed, as the big beast slowly crept up to Sky's honey coated feet, and sniffed them curiously. He smiled as he let his massive wet tongue flop out of his mouth, and he began to lick her feet clean.
This sent Sky absolutely over the edge. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHOHO! EHEHEHEHELLA, PLEHEHEHEHEHEHASE! PUHUHUHUHUHUHULL HIM AWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAY!" She begged for mercy. Out of all the tickling she had just gotten, this was hands down the most intense for her to go through so far.
But Ella just stood aside as she watched her final friend have his feast. He took big, slow licks up from her heels, and back down from her soles. He was really appreciative of his princess friend letting him have this snack. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOHOHOHOHOHOP! STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHO, IT TIHIHIHIHICKLES SO MUHUHUHUHCH!" Sky screamed as she shook with hysterical laughter, and pounded her fists on the ground. She was so busy dealing with that, she didn't notice Ella leaving to go and get something
The bear licked with such force, that as his tongue dragged across Sky's long arches, it actually pulled her feet up, before they plopped back down on the ground. He made his way up to her toes, and licked them as they wiggled and curled wildly. He tried getting between them, but his tongue was too big, so he just settled on licking the honey there as it drizzled out. She had tears streaming down her cheeks from how hard she was laughing this whole time.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! COHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOME ON, NOHOHOHOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHORE!" Sky cackled like a hyena. The bear finally stopped and sat up, licking his lips in satisfaction. Sky cringed in disgust at how wet and slimy her feet felt now. "Ewww, that was so gross!" She groaned.
"Well then, it's a good thing that your not finished yet." She heard Ella say, and as she turned, she saw that the princess had went to go get a bucket of soapy water, a sponge, and a big, fluffy towel. "No...NO! YOU WOULDN'T! PLEASE, HAVEN'T I BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH?!" She cried out in protest. "You said that last part was gross, the least I could to is help clean up the mess." Ella said, as she sat down and took Sky's feet in her lap, before dipping the sponge into the water, and starting to wash the bear drool off Sky's feet.
"Pffff-AHH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sky was right back to laughing yet again. "Ohh, scrub a dub dub, how I love to rub~, Washing your feet~, is fun that can't be beat~" Ella playfully sang a song about the whole thing as she went on with cleaning.
As Sky laughed, she also blushed in embarrassment at how silly this entire affair was. "Ohh, I love to scrub up, and I love to scrub down~, and I love to scrub all the way around~" As continued her song, her actions matched her lyrics. She scrubbed up from Sky's heels, scrubbed down her arches, and scrubbed around in circles on her soles.
"Ohh, look at these piggies curl and wiggle~, the sight of it makes me want to giggle~" She finished her song, as she actually did giggle at the sight of Sky's toes wiggling, as she scrubbed them clean. She put the sponge away, and dried off Sky's feet with the towel. The light, fluffy texture also tickled her, though not by much, so all she let out were giggles.
Finally, it was all over, as Ella had the bear take the dumbbells off of Sky. Seeing as he was the only one who was strong enough to move them, Sky deduced that he was the one who put them on her in the first place. As she was finally free, she pulled her feet out of Ella's lap, and backed away nervously.
"Okay, okay! I admit it! You made your point, I did a bad thing while competing. By shoving Dave's feelings aside, and focusing solely on the competition, I came off as shallow and selfish." As Sky said this, she looked down in shame. "But I can't do anything about it now. Dave doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, and even if I tried to explain things to him, he'd think I was just making excuses for my bad behavior." She turned away.
While Ella had previously shown disappointment with Sky recently, she saw now that she had regretted her actions, so she went over to console her gently as she placed a hand on her shoulder. "Even if you doubt that you can fix this, it still doesn't hurt to try. Life is like a clock; it's always ticking. And you want to try and settle any bad blood you may have, before that time runs out. You don't want to spend life holding a grudge, and you don't want anyone to have a grudge against you, either." She gently told her.
As Sky turned to face the fairytale princess, where she once saw vengefulness, she now some comfort and wisdom in both her eyes, and her words. She sighed before giving her a gentle smile. "Alright, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I'm sorry that I broke his heart, and I'm sorry that I ruined the impact of your sacrifice." She apologized to the princess.
"Oh Sky, you know that I'm incapable of holding a grudge against anyone for long periods of time." Ella smiled back, before the two shared a gentle, warm hug with each other. As they pulled away, the princess now took the chance to apologize. "And I also would like to apologize. All of the tickling that I just put you through must have truly been too much for you to stand."
"Aww, no worries, it's all water under the bridge. And despite my pleas for it stop, I had this inside feeling...that I actually kinda liked it." She admitted bashfully as she gathered her shoes, and slipped them back on. "Really now?" Ella asked curiously. "Hehe, yeah." She rubbed the back of her neck as they stood up.
Ella took all her animal friends back to their home in the woods and waved goodbye to them, to which they all bid her farewell, in return. Afterwards, she and Sky both went back to the hospital to check up on Dave, and hopefully fix what went wrong between him and Sky.
Regarding my feelings on all the characters here, Sky and Dave are ones I'm more neutral on, but Ella is one of my all time faves. Regarding her though, you may think that she comes off here as OOC, which I have stated to be against doing. However, considering the fact that she truly loved Dave, and the disaster called "Skave" that unfurled later on, I honestly can actually imagine her feeling irritation with Sky that she, in the end, completely made her giving up on her feelings feel like it was all for nothing.
Alright, this has become the longest one-shot I've ever written, but the reason for that should be obvious. Now I apologize if I'm coming off as biased when I say this, but out of all the one-shots that I've written so far, this one was hands down the one that I had the most fun writing, because as I said earlier, I love animal lickers the most out of any method for tickling. aceman88 originally wanted a deer to do it, but I just felt it should have gone to the bear, since I've done plenty of TD tickling RP's that include licking from bears, so it felt more natural to me. Regardless of that change, I hope this is as enjoyable a read for you guys, as it was for me to write.
