'Hum, now how did I end up here? I thought this was the way to the park,' I mused, finding myself at a dead end after turning right at an unfamiliar crossroads. 'Didn't that blue cat say going right was the right way? That's what I get for listening to an animal.' I did not want to admit I was lost, yet it was time to turn around. Upon doing so, I smacked into a roller skater.
'Hoe,' was the cute cry of complaint I heard when I stood up.
'Hey! Watch where you are,' I trailed off, 'going.' I found myself unable continue scolding the roller skater whose cute face perfectly suited her voice. When she took my hand to help herself stand up, I asked, 'Are you all right?'
The lass replied, 'Yep! I'm well protected, see?' and showed me her knee and elbow pads. I noticed she was not wearing protective gloves or a helmet, but while I was considering whether she might be skilled or blessed, she introduced herself, 'I'm Sakura! Nice to meet you; good to see you!'
I smiled at the perky girl and answered, 'I'm Dusk, but if you forget that, call me New Boy.' When I released her hand, her fingers happened to brush my ribs, and I shivered and yipped.
Sakura grinned widely and asked, 'Dusk, are you ticklish?' Master of all questions, cut energy. Shall I tell this bonny lass? She'll tickle me if I do. She'll tickle me if I don't. Well, honesty is the best policy.
I blushed and admitted, 'Yes, Sakura, I'm very ticklish.' Flustered though I was at the discovery of one of my weaknesses, nevertheless I seized the chance to flip the question, an old trick guys have probably used for millennia. 'I don't suppose you're ticklish, eh, Sakura?'
The brunette whose short, pretty hair was almost a shade of orange raised her arms above her head, a movement which raised her T-shirt to expose her midriff. 'Want to find out?' she asked in her cheerfully energetic tone. Now this was a pleasant surprise. I thought she would tickle me silly right off the bat. When I gently wiggled the fingers of my right hand on her bare midriff, her jade eyes sparkled with mirth and she said, 'Hanyaan,' in a blissful voice. She looked and sounded as though I chose a favored spot. I gently squeezed her tummy, then tapped my fingers in a circle around her navel. 'Kyahahahahahaha! Dusk! That tickles so much! Eeeheeheeheeheeheehee!' Sakura laughed happily.
What will happen next?
