Amanda: After doing more jobs and getting more money, I realized that I was outgrowing the bookstore room. I was getting overwhelmed with customers, I needed a bigger place and more people. I had Danielle look around. Soon, she found a place in town and I went to look at it. It was big, it had rooms for offices, rooms for sessions, and other rooms. I loved the place, bought it and we began moving in.

Lisa: It was sad to see Amanda and Danielle leave. They had been here for over a year and I enjoyed seeing them and talking to them. It was nice to have someone else here at the bookstore. They also shared my love for tickling, which was rare. I thought that maybe someday I would tell them. But it was Danielle who found out first. She came over one day to talk about it.

"Lisa, Lisa!" Danielle excitedly said coming in.

"Oh Danielle it's nice to see you, how is the new place?"

"It's very good, but Lisa, you never told me you wrote this," she put The Golden Feather Kingdom down in front of me.

"How did you find out?"

"We had a visitor who said they knew you."

"What was the name of that visitor?"

"Mary."

I had thought I told her not to tell them anything. But it was too late now. Although I was considering "punishing" Mary for this.

"Why didn't you tell me, I'm a big fan," Danielle told me.

"Because I don't want everyone to know," I answered, "That's why I don't go by Elizabeth normally. Besides, being known as the owner of an adult bookstore is enough, but also as a fetish writer? That's too much. And I've written some weird things in those books. I really don't want everyone to know."

"I understand. But why do you write them then?" Danielle asked.

"Because my husband was a writer. He was fantastic, and I loved reading everything he wrote. But he died years ago. I found books comforting since they reminded me of him. I even decided to start writing. But I wasn't any good. I remembered what my husband said, writing something you're passionate about will help you write better. So, I decided to take a fantasy story my husband had been working on and combine it with something I loved, tickling. That's how I wrote The Golden Feather Kingdom."

I'm sorry Lisa," Danielle said.

"It's okay, that was all in the past. I'm glad you like my story. And I was going to tell you about this someday already."

We ended up talking about my stories for hours, which turned out to be very nice.

Amanda: After we were all the way moved in, I began accepting appointments again. I also began thinking about hiring more people to help out. I wanted to try asking Jade again. This time, I had her meet me at our new place. She agreed to meet and I hoped I could talk her into joining.

"This place is pretty nice," Jade commented as I let her in and walked her to my office.

"Thank you, I was glad to get it. But it would be even better if I had more people here to help out."

"You really want me to join you, don’t you?"

"Yes, and I know you'll be great at it," I tried to convince Jade.

Jade shook her head, "I don't know, I like where I'm working now. Don't get me wrong, I would love to join you, but my job is stable and it makes good money."

I pulled out the sheet with our appointments on it, "We get lots of business here. And look at the money we make."

Jade thought for a moment and then decided, "Alright I'll join. But I'll have to tell my boss I'm leaving."

“Really?” I was super happy to have Jade join me.

“You convinced me, not that it was going to be hard to do. If I can do this for a living, I will love it. And working together with my best friend is going to be great,” Jade told me.

I didn't know how I was going to get more people. But I didn't worry about that at the time, two would be enough for now.

The time came for Jade's first session. I had things all figured out for her.

"You will be tickling Chris, she's 20 and will be here at 7," I told Jade.

"Do you have any more information about her?"

"She had a session with me a few months ago. I think she preferred light upper body tickling," I tried to remember.

"You should ask people what they want when they book a session. That way you know what they want," Jade suggested.

"That is a good idea. I'll talk to Danielle about that."

Jade sighed sarcastically, “How did you two do anything without me?”

“It may not be perfect, but we’ve managed,” I responded.

I took Jade over to our tools and showed them to her. She looked at them a little confused.

“I’m interested in seeing how these are used for tickling,” Jade said, picking up a hairbrush.

“I’ll give you a quick rundown,” I picked up a feather, “I’m sure you’ve heard of a feather being used for tickling.”

“Yeah, those are used in like cartoons and stuff,” Jade answered.

“There's a little more to the feather than that,” I said, running my fingers through the feather while continuing to explain, “It’s a soft tool that’s mainly used for little teasing tickles.”

I continued to grab different tools and explain their use to Jade who looked at me with what I think was amazement.

“I’m surprised how much you’ve learned,” Jade complimented.

“You learn as you go, I can tell you as much information that I want, but you won’t learn anything until you do it,” I told Jade.

While we talked away, the time passed and eventually Chris walked in.

“Welcome Chris, this is Jade, she’ll be helping out this evening,” I said introducing Jade.

“Nice to meet you,” Chris said shaking Jade’s hand.

“How will we be servicing you?” I asked.

“I was thinking a soothing belly tickling,” Chris said pointing at the table.

“So belly tickles, we can do that,” I replied, but I wanted to make one change, “However, I was thinking we could put you on the pillar, it will make it easier for me and Jade to both work on you.”

“Okay,” Chris began stripping down to her underwear before nervously walking over to the pillar, “I can’t help but feel a little intimidated by having the both of you surround me while I’m tied up here.”

We finished restraining her and I grabbed a couple of feathers and handed one to Jade, “Don’t worry, we won’t go too hard on you.”

“Too hahahahahahard?” Chris’ concerns were cut off by my feather suddenly making contact with her belly.

I wiggled my feather down in a zig zag pattern from her chest to her waist.

“Tickle tickle~,” I teased, “Now follow my lead Jade,”

Jade began dragging her feather down from Chris’s armpits to her hips.

“Ohohohoho thihihis is a lohohohot of tihihihickling!” Chris said through laughter.

“You’re tummy is just so sensitive, isn’t it?~” I said as I began to use my other hand to lightly tickle her underarms.

“Wahahahait! Nohohohot there!”

“Oh? Is this too much?~ Then let’s hope you’re prepared for double the tickles~”

I nodded and Jade began to also use her other hand to tickle her underarms.

“Hehehehey! Thahahahts too much!”

I noticed that Jade was just wiggling her fingers as fast as she could, “A little lighter Jade.”

Jade slowed down and Chris’ laughter lessened.

“Ohohoho, thahahahts better.”

“There we go~ Although I can’t believe you’ve been keeping that beautiful laughter from me~”

I began to pick up the pace in my tickling and moved my free hand to squeeze and wiggle my fingers over her hips.

“Heeheeheehee hahahahaha! Nooohohohoho! Stop!” Chris begged beginning to pull against her restraints, “Pleeheeheease have mercy!”

“If you wanted mercy, you shouldn’t have had such a beautiful laugh~”

My feather circled around her belly button, around and around.

“Whahahahahahahy! Pleeheeheeheease stop!”

I will admit, she didn’t ask for that, and I probably shouldn’t have done that. But, I got caught up in the moment. That tended to happen when I was tickling. Jade on the other hand seemed to be confused and timid in her tickling. I blame myself for that mostly. I wasn’t a good teacher.

Once everything was done, we untied Chris and got her clothes.

“Will you forgive me for going a little far?” I asked Chris.

“I was looking for something a little more relaxing,” Chris said catching her breath.

“Sorry,” I was a little embarrassed how overboard I went.

“Maybe next time you can just use the feathers?”

“Yeah, let’s do that next time.”

Chris walked out and Jade looked at me with a funny look, “Was that supposed to be an example of a good session?”

I shrugged my shoulders, “It happens.”

Jade sighed, “I can see you need someone to keep an eye on you.”

“What? No I don’t, I’ve got this whole thing covered,” I told Jade.

“Let me put it this way, I’ll be keeping an eye on you so you don’t always overdo it,” Jade sternly told me.

I rolled my eyes, “Fine, I do think we’ll make a good team.

“So do I,” Jade said smiling, “This will be lots of fun."
