Here we go Chapter 8! Oh and don't worry, everyone's gonna have a chance to be tickled... Except possibly Fluttershy though :P
But oh well... PLEASE REVIEW AND ENJOY IF YOU LIKE IT! :D!
"Applejack! You're up next!" Discord beamed, while grabbing his tools again. "Uh... Do I have to be?" "Uugh! For the last time! You should really be happy! The last person will have the worst you know!" Discord reminded the nervous orange earth pony.
Applejack smiled frantically as sweat began running down her face. "O-ok..."
This made Twilight and Pinkie Pie glance at each other though... "Let's see!" Discord first pulled out the original feather. "Seems like these two things get yall the most!" Applejack gulped back the lump in her throat since she couldn't move...
"Ok let's get started!" Discord declared and started tickling the mares rib-cage ever so slightly, but Applejack hardly even made a sound. "Oh? That's odd... Odder than odd!" Discord chuckled to himself, as he put back the feather and got out the paint brushes. He took two and began lightly stroking the mare's sides which only made her giggle a bit but it wasn't enough. "This calls for extreme measures then!" The weird creature now held a feather duster in his hand and began madly stroking Applejack's thighs which seemed to do the trick, since she was trying hard not to laugh. "Come on dearie! Just bare through it!" Rarity cheered from her iron table, yet this made Pinkie glance over. "And did you bare through it? No..." "Oh um..." Rarity looked slightly offended, but said nothing. Discord found Applejack to be the hardest so far, so he started tickling her with the feather, the paint brushes AND the feather duster which really got to her. But in no time she could no longer resist. "BWAWHAHHAHHAHHAHHHAAA PLEEEEHEEEAAAASSSEEE CUUUUTT IT OUUUT!"
"Nope! Sorry! Too late now!"
"HAHHHAHHHAHAAAA!"
Discord tickled her sides, then her waist, then around her thighs mainly, since it seemed to be the most ticklish spot of all. Applejack reared, and bucked but the bonds just wouldn't break, only causing her to be in a more difficult position. "STAAAP! HAHHHAHAH!"
Discord smirked, smiled, grinned and even laughed himself from seeing her pain, especially since the Princess would soon be long gone. "Just hold still Applejack I'm almost done."
Tears streamed down her face and she was actually finding it hard to breathe but soon it was all over. Discord stopped and glanced back at the bubble which was so tight on the princess she couldn't even hardly breathe. "Oh how delightful!"
"This isn't fair!" Twilight shrieked. "You need to play a bit more fairly in this stupid game of yours!"
Discord could see the young mare's point though... "Hmmm... Uh... Well I don't know..."
"I agree! Let Princess Celestia's bubble grow a little bit more!" Rainbow Dash demanded, shaking her head furiously in trying to free herself from the bonds.
"Oh FINE!" Discord practically spat, and snapped his fingers which made Princess Celestia's bubble loosen a little. "But that much only!"
Twilight was slightly happy that he had agreed to do so. "OK..."
"Hmm... I'm not doing Pinkie Pie! She's too bland and... Twilight?" He stared at her for a minute... Maybe even two minutes. Twilight just stood there waiting for his answer. Please just pass...
"I might start doing you all at different times again..." YES! She thought silently.
"But I WILL tickle you all again. It's great to see my friends LAUGH..."
They all rolled their eyes as Discord paced the room once again as the night fell away. It seemed like they had been up there for hours and hours, yet it had probably only been about 1 or 2 hours...
"When can we leave?" Applejack groaned. "Not until dawn. I told you all that from the very beginning." Discord replied simply, but just as he was saying that an idea came to mind! "I have another genius idea that's not very fun to experience!" "OOOH!" Rarity gasped dramatically. Pinkie Pie shrugged, Applejack snorted, Rainbow Dash scowled, Twilight did absolutely nothing, Spike was half way asleep, Princess Celestia was just watching grimly, and poor Fluttershy was just sleeping soundly.
"So what's it gonna be?" Twilight snapped rather sharply from where she lay lied in bonds.
"I'm thinking I should give yall a quick short and simple sneezing fit, yet you can't sneeze. It's that simple."
Everyone glanced at each nervously. "How's that even possible?" Applejack pressed, narrowing her eyes seeming the game was already unfair again. "Yeah! If we have to sneeze, then... Well... We've just gotta sneeze! We can't hold it in!" Rainbow Dash explained irritably.
"Oh darling! She's right!" Rarity jumped in quickly. "I agree!" Twilight spoke up. It was then when Spike also spoke up. "Y-yeah!..." Suddenly everyone looked at Pinkie, waiting for her answer. "PINKIE?" The pink pony pondered for a moment before shrugging. "Well it's at least possible for me... But..." "HA!" Discord chimed. "You see? It is possible for you all!"
"Yeah well that's just Pinkie! She can do a lot of things we can't!" Rainbow Dash sneered again.
Discord shrugged. "Oh well, if you all wanna quit the game that's fine. We can get right to popping Princess Celestia in no time!" "NO!" They all screeched. "Ok then..."
The mythic creature pulled a string from the ceiling he had just so happen to make appear and out piled mounds of pepper right on top of every pony, and yes even Spike.
"Now... You know this one... DON'T SNEEZE!"
Twilight's nose suddenly twitched and for a moment she thought she was just about to already fail!... But then it stopped. Good...
Rarity was too busy worrying if any pepper had gotten in her mane, and Applejack just held her breath, but Rainbow Dash was just trying to blow most of the pepper off her.
Pinkie Pie... Was totally fine. "I could do this all night!"
Suddenly Spike felt the sensation in his nostril that he had to sneeze and you know him... He didn't even try to stop it. "Ahh...aahh...AAAH-CHOOO!"
"SPIKE!" Twilight exploded. "What the heck!?"
"S-sorry..." Spike shrugged. "I guess I couldn't stop it." "Well did ya even try!?" Twilight spat furiously back. Spike grew red from the comment and hung his head. "Not really..."
Discord was just sitting back in a sofa, while having a bag of popcorn. "Ooh! The bubble has already shrunken a tiny bit more because of Spike. How about we give him a BIG hand!" And with that he began clapping wildly. But...
No one joined in...
...
"Or not?" Discord added grimly.
Rainbow Dash then felt the need to sneeze. "Um... I can kind of feel one coming..." "Well whatever you do don't... AAH-CHOOO!" Rarity was interrupted from her own sentence by her own sneeze.
"HA! Inch by inch the bubble goes down! Until we hear the sound... POP!" Discord began singing cheerfully.
"This is great! Just great! I'm sure in all of Equestria we're the only ponies being tortured in a haunted mansion on Halloween night!" Twilight screeched, right as she felt the need to sneeze. "Um... errr... AHH-CHOO!"
"Ooo! Even Twilight's fallen for it, but will Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, or Applejack?"
Rainbow Dash was looking quite nervous when she suddenly went into a sneezing fit. "Ahh...ahhhhh...AH-CHOOOO! AH-CHOO! AHHH-CHOOOO!"
"Aww I'm sorry, do you need a tissue Rainbow Dash?" Discord mocked.
"I'M FINE!" The pegasus spat.
Applejack then gave in and sneezed. "Aah...AHH-CHOOO!"
"OH GOODIE! Now where's Pinkie's?" Discord demanded... But Pinkie was totally calm. "Who me? I don't sneeze when I'm forced."
"Well uh..." Discord thought for a moment. "Uh... Would you please sneeze Pinkie Pie?"
"OK! AAAH-CHOO!" Pinkie Pie sneezed suddenly.
"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!?" Rainbow Dash exploded. "You sneezed just because he asked you too!?" "Yup!" Pinkie calmly replied.
Discord loved watching the friends fight... It made him even more happier, maybe even happier than watching Princess Celestia pop...
