Hillary finished making the waffles while keeping a close eye on the mischievous Brie. Tina came downstairs, still catching her breath from earlier to join them. The family settled down for a peaceful and scrumptious meal. The finishing touch was some freshly cut strawberries to top the fluffy dish. Even Maxie got a fruity treat. Once they were all done eating, Brie went to watch TV in the living room.
"I’m going to relax for a bit," Tina said to her mom. She went into the living room and sank into the couch with a sigh. Pulling out her phone, she propped her bare feet beside her, a rookie mistake given her younger sister was right there. Brie was also sprawled out on the living room couch, engrossed in the cartoon she was playing from her phone. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Tina flop down next to her. Brie glanced over at her sister's bare soles, pink and slightly wrinkled from being on her feet all morning. Her sister usually wasn’t this careless, perhaps the waffles had made her let down her guard or more likely the squirrel and dog attack.
She turned back to the TV, pretending to be absorbed in the show, but sneakily, she reached one hand out and began gently poking one finger into Tina's instep.
Tina jumped at the unexpected contact. "Brie, what are you—" Her protest was cut off by a squeak of laughter as Brie began lightly scritching her fingers up and down Tina's sole.
"I'm watching the show, you're the one moving around over there," Brie said innocently, not taking her eyes from the screen. Her fingers danced merrily across Tina's sensitive foot bottom, making her giggle.
"Hehehe St-stop that!" Tina said, trying to pull her foot away, but her sister grabbed her ankle. Brie gave up all pretense of watching and was now eagerly scratching away at Tina’s foot.
Tina burst out laughing. "Nooo! Brie! Hahahaha!" She kicked out with her free foot, accidentally smacking Brie in the shoulder.
“Oh it’s on now.” Brie exclaimed, leaping toward her older sister. Tina dropped her phone, needing both her hands to fight off the vengeful Brie. They scuffled a bit, Brie went for Tina’s tummy, scrabbling her hands wildly. Tina tried to push Brie away, and found her hands conveniently under the girl’s arms. Brie had the advantage of surprise, but eventually, Tina was able to use her size to her advantage, tickling and pushing the younger girl away.
"Stop!" Tina cried. Her cheeks flushed a rosy pink, but she had a big smile on her face. She put her feet up on the coffee table far from her sister. Brie snickered playfully, turning her attention back to the TV.
Tina leaned back against the couch cushion and pulled out her phone to scroll mindlessly on social media. Suddenly, she felt a familiar ticklish sensation on the bottoms of her feet.
"Brie, I told you—" she started, glaring at her pesky sister, but to her surprise, Brie was still engrossed in the TV show, seemingly oblivious.
That's when Tina spotted her mother standing by the coffee table, a playful grin on her face. She gave Tina an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, honey, I just couldn't help myself. I heard the laughter and saw such tempting tickle targets!" Tina rolled her eyes good-naturedly.
"And as for you, Miss Brie..." Hillary walked towards the oblivious girl still engrossed in the TV. Without warning, the young mother dug her fingers into Brie's ribs.
Brie squealed in surprise, instantly dissolving into breathless giggles as she curled into a ball. Her whole face cutely lit up scarlet with mirth, freckles standing out prominently on her nose and cheeks "No-hahah-at fai-haha-ir!" she cried out between laughs. Hillary relented after giving her ribs a thorough kneading.
"Alright you two, time to get yourselves ready," Hillary announced. "We're heading out soon."
The girls got up and trudged off to get ready. Where are they going?
