Inside the flower shop, "Roses Are Red, Roses Are Blue", Jasmine was currently on her break at the cash register, counting up the profit that she had made for the day currently. She was really enjoying being involved in this business.

As she picked up her phone, she looked and saw some social media posts from her buddy, Sammy. Apparently ever since their elimination together, Her relationship with her twin sister Amy had deteriorated even worse than it already was before. There were a bunch of posts that just showed pictures of Sammy crying softly, and some posts where she explained that Amy was currently trying to convince their parents to disown the nice cheerleader, calling her a "disgrace" and a "liability" and that they would clearly be better off without her.

Understanding how upset her friend was really got Jasmine upset, and she wanted to do something to help make her feel better. Suddenly, she grinned as she was struck with inspiration. She sent out a text message to her boyfriend Shawn.

floweryfighter: Hay babe, Sammy's been having it pretty rough lately. Come help me perk her up?

She didn't have to wait long before she got a response from the zombie apocalypse expert.

expertoftheundead: Sure, I'll meet you outside your flower shop.

So with that message, Jasmine decided to close up early, and she waited outside the door for Shawn to show up. She waved at him as he approached her.

"Heya Jas, so what's the situation here?" He asked before the tall, Australian girl pulled out her phone again and showed him some of her friend's updates. He felt sorry for the cheerleader. While he didn't know her as well as Jasmine did, she was still her friend, and he felt that any friend of Jasmine's shouldn't have to deal with this much struggle at home.

"Aww, that's so sad to hear. So what did you want to do to make her feel better?" He asked curiously, before she bent down with a grin. "Here's what I came up with." She leaned over to whisper her plan into his ear. As the grin forming on his face could indicate, he was on board with this plan.

Later on, they went down to the park, trying to locate Sammy. Luckily for them, they did, but the sight of her was almost enough to make their hearts break. She was hiding under a bench, laying on her side, curled up into a ball as she cried into her knees.

Jasmine got down on her knees and shook her friend by the shoulder. "Hey there, champ." She said with a gentle tone. The blonde looked up and gasped in surprise at the sight of the only one who knew the truth about her sister troubles. "Jasmine, hi!" She crawled out to give the Aussie as big a hug as she could manage. Jasmine was more than happy to return the hug.

As they pulled away, Sammy could feel the first smile she's had in a while stretch across her face. "Oh, it's so good to see you again!" She exclaimed as she looked to see Shawn standing right behind them. He gave her a wave and a friendly grin, which she returned.

"We've found out about what you've been going through, and we want to help cheer you up." He explained while giving Jasmine a wink, which she returned. "Really? What did you two have in mind?" She asked curiously. Her two friends just grinned, as Shawn wrapped his arms around her from behind, and brought her down to the ground, in a sitting position.

"He-Hey! What are yo-AHH! Hahahahahahahaha heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!" She was cut off from questioning any further, because she felt Shawn twiddle his fingers on her back playfully. The tickly sensation shooting up her spine had completely thrown her for a loop. And while he did that, Jasmine leaned and started to tickle her friend's exposed belly, enjoying seeing the sight of her friend's giggly face.

"Hehehehehehey nohohohohohow! Whahahahahat is thihihihihihis abohohohohout?!" She asked between giggles. "This is what we wanted to do to make you smile, silly. Obviously." Jasmine told her playfully as she attacked Sammy's ribs with her fingers. "Tickle, tickle, tickle~!" She cooed teasingly as Sammy just sat there and took this all in.

Normally, the only tickling she had ever gotten was when Amy used it on her to force her to do whatever was on her sister's mind. Unlike those times, however, she felt different with this tickling. Maybe because the ones doing it weren't awful people, but Sammy could feel herself actually enjoying this.

Shawn moved his hands to Sammy's sides, and gently trailed his fingers up and down on them. Sammy chortled some more giggles as he used different tickling speeds, alternating between fast and slow at the most surprising of times. At the same time, while Jasmine used one hand to tickle Sammy's belly, she took her other hand, held out a single finger, and stuck it into her belly button, before swirling it around in there.

"AHH! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" This really got Sammy laughing now, as well as Shawn and Jasmine, because of how much fun they were having with this. And they would have been happy to keep it going for as long as they needed.

That was not the case, however, as Sammy had to call a stop to their enjoyment. "ALRIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIGHT GUHUHUHUHUYS, THAHAHAHAHAHAHAT'S ENOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOUGH NOHOHOHOHOHOHOW! I NEEHEEHEEHEEHEED TO CAHAHAHAHAHATCH MY BREHEHEHEHEHEHEATH!" She told them as she was getting red in the face.

Both of them agreed and stopped, allowing the cheerleader to gasp for air. Jasmine leaned over with a concerned look on her face. "You alright there? We didn't end up overdoing it, did we?" She asked.

Her worries were put to rest, as Sammy turned towards her with a grateful grin. "Not at all! In fact, I'd say that was the most fun that I've ever felt, since meeting you guys!" She proclaimed. Her happiness seemed to take a swift turn, though, as she looked down. "But even with that, it's not enough to completely fix everything I've been through. Oh, what am I going to do? My folks have ALWAYS preferred Amy's word, and they'll likely go through with disowning me in the end!" She began feeling upset again, at just how unfair her life had been.

"Well, if they can't appreciate you for what you have to offer, I think that they should!" Jasmine exclaimed sternly. Sammy's eyes went wide with shock at how her best friend could just say this, but before she could say anything, she looked up and saw her looking down at her with a loving grin. "Because then, you could finally become part of a family that would actually treat you right." She said as she pulled out some adoption forms she had picked up before heading down to the park. She figured they'd come in handy.

Sammy stared in amazement at the papers, before she looked her friend in the face with a warm smile. "You...You mean that...you'll really...?" She asked, only being answered by a solemn nod. "But I don't want to be a burden..." She tried to explain, but the Aussie would have none of it.

"Ah-ah-ah, I've made up my mind. And besides, I know for a fact that you would never be a burden on me." She explained gently. This constant kindness towards her from her friend was enough to get Sammy to break into tears of joy and once again hug her best friend in gratefulness.

"OMG! Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much I appreciate this!" She expressed her gratitude as Jasmine rubbed the back of her head to soothe her. Shawn joined in on the hug, as well, feeling happiness for both of his friends.

After all the years of neglect and abuse she had been put through, Sammy could feel a beacon of light finally shining down on her. And it felt so very good.

Alrighty, that's another idea down. Like I said previously, I've always appreciated Jasmine for becoming the friend that Sammy very much needed in her life, so I was happy to do another idea about her perking the cheerleader up.
