One dumb title~

A lovely little something for my splendid anonymous benefactor~ ^ω^ Jaq, Gus, Luke, Mert, and Bert getting ready for an evening of amusement while Cinderelly is off messing around with a man way out of her league. =D

Cinderella was in town one day and saw a gent in stocks being tickled by some kids. Being a Disney princess, she thought to herself "Golly, that looks entertaining." So when she got back home, she saw some dilapidated materials laying about. A split, sun-bleached bobbin and a bleak book side by side caught her eye this time. Being the thrifty chick she is, she crafted a set of stocks from the bobbin, the spine of the book, and a few masonry nails from the shed as a gift for the mice, so that they might have some extra fun while she was off doing chores, out to market, or macking it up with a prince. It needed some demonstration at first. Cinderella had to stock up three of the more curious mice and feather their little feet for a while for the other mice to get the picture. And once they did, it proved to be a real hit among the younger ones especially, but also with the older ones as well. After they started using the makeshift stocks on their own, they found some masonry staples in the walls to work as cuffs to hold their hands down as well.
Skip ahead a bit to the addition of their latest family member, the stout and adorable Octavius, better know as Gus. This is his first time getting to play in the stocks, so he gets the good seat in the middle. His feet shiver with sensitivity as the sock-shoes are slid off, and he is nervous. Even more so when he sees Jaq beside him with his toes being tied up too. But Luke, on his left comforts him, telling him how exhilarating and fun it really is. And as the tiny fingers started their wiggling, as their feet started their waggling, it was a real shocker to the system at first, but sure enough once the laughter started, so did the fun~ Jaq was a real wild one when tickled, his feet shook and wagged back and forth wildly, but was a lot more manageable with his toes tied back to the staples. Luke was shy and cute when stocked, but had a cute boyish giggle. His feet always hid behind one another when his toes were free, but he was often first to volunteer to get in when tickle-time was in order. Gus, while nervous at first, soon got over his shyness after a few sessions, and the kids always thought it was most fun to make the biggest and strongest of the family laugh and wiggle about, so he always got lots of attention during, and a nice cheese afterward for always being such a fine sport about it.
