"Do you know what you just said? You want to be tickled until you cannot stand it anymore? Posting it online makes it worse." Olivia looked to the ground. She had not expected to be rebuffed this way. But she is determined to pursue her quest and does not give up. You say that you take your time and think it over. Over the course of the afternoon your thoughts wander from the boring college subjects back to Olivia and her odd idea. Did she have any idea what the boys who know her would do to her if she presented herself like this? After all you are not in charge of her. Finally you identify a subject that might make her draw back.
The next day Olivia met you at the cafeteria. You avoid the subject, which makes her visibly nervous. Afterwards both of you go for a stroll over the campus. Then you release your idea. "Well, I might do what you want." This was rewarded with a gasp. Her arms are on the way to flung around your neck. "But", this makes her stop in mid air "you have to do something else that I want you to do. And we will also record this." Olivia seems to take any challenge as long as it has a chance to get her more famous. "You have to participate in this year's polar bear pole challenge in our town, in a skimpy bikini." This was a mean proposal. You have suggested her participation in this event for some years but the girl claimed that she could not sustain such cold water. And the pole challenge was an extra difficult level. It included a swim in the icy water over twice the usual distance and to keep standing at a pole (someone had the strange idea to use a pole for the "North Pole") with your hands raised above your head for two minutes, exposing your wet body to the cold air in addition. Usually only some guys who ran or lost bets took up this challenge. You took part in the regular polar bear dip annually and would love some company. You would have to help her train for a longer icy exposure though.
Olivia's face went blank. She had already expected a price to be paid, but this price was above what she would be able to provide. Cold water was something she could not tolerate. And no sane person would take a dip in water with solid ice on the surface next. But to even leave this horrible place wet and miserable, to stand another two minutes to suffer from the cold air and the humiliation of the uolookers was more than she could imagine. You see it on her face. "I knew that you did not take your request serious. You better go for another challenge than this tickle stuff" you snicker and turn around. Olivia
