It was a dark and stormy night. The rain poured and the lightning cracked. But don't worry. This is a silly story, not a scary one. And it begins in the house of a young man named Spike who was spending the night indoors with his three (that's right, three!) girlfriends. Spike was in a polygamous relationship with three extremely beautiful women. He was currently lounging on the couch with two of them, Rarity on his right side and Applejack on his left, wrapping his arms around both of them while they watched the TV together.

When the show they were watching cut to a commercial break, Spike gave each of the two girls a kiss on the cheek and went into the kitchen to check on his third lovely lady, Pinkie Pie. "Hey, Pinkie. How are those cupcakes coming?" he asked the pink-haired girl who was hard at work baking up a batch of yummy pastries for everyone to share.

"All done, Spike," she answered cheerfully. "Here. Try one for yourself." She handed a cupcake to Spike, who happily took a bite out of it, letting the sweet, chocolatey taste wash over him.
"Mmm. Delicious as always, Pinkie," he complimented her. "Just like how your booty looks in those new jeans of yours." He gave her big, round posterior a couple of gentle playful pats, which made her giggle in response.
"Aww. Come here, you." Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around Spike's neck and gave him deep, loving kiss on the lips.

As the four lovers were enjoying their cupcakes together in the living room and watching TV, out of nowhere, everything suddenly went dark. "Oh dear! What happened to all the lights?" Rarity asked in shock.
"The storm must've made a fuse blow," Applejack figured.
"I'd better go find a candle," Spike said as he grabbed a flashlight and headed upstairs to his bedroom.
He looked all over his room for a candle, but instead, he stopped when he found something else. A big feather that he'd been saving for a while now. He kept it because he'd been sure that he could find some use for it eventually and as he looked it over now, he believed that he just had.

When Spike returned to the living room, the girls were surprised to see that he had returned not with a candle, but with some sort of feather instead. "Uh... what's with the feather?" Applejack asked.
"Well, you see, I was upstairs looking for a flashlight when I happened to stumble upon this little beauty and it gave me an idea," Spike explained. "Who wants to have..... a TICKLE FIGHT?!" He emphasized the challenge by shining the flashlight under his face as a bright flash of lightning conveniently struck.
"A what?!" Rarity asked in shock, holding her hand to her heart.
"You heard me. I challenge each of you to a tickle fight. Me against each one of you, one on one. What do you say?"
"I think that's a great idea!" Pinkie Pie agreed. "You're on!"
"Are you sure about this, Pinkie Pie?" Rarity asked in concern.
"Come on, girls. It'll be fun. Besides, we're his girlfriends. If we can't give Spike a good tickle, then who can?"
Pinkie's words resonated with the other two girls and after a moment of consideration, they were both onboard as well. "Alrighty. We're in, Spike!" said AJ.
"Indeed," said Rarity.

First up was Spike versus Rarity. Pinkie and AJ made room for them to tussle as the fashionista looked at her boyfriend with a sly smirk. "Don't think that just because I'm a lady, I'm going to take it easy on you, darling," she taunted.
"Wouldn't have it any other way," Spike replied.
"Ready... set... tickle!" Pinkie declared, signaling the beginning of the match.

The two came straight at each other with Rarity skittering her fingers all over Spike's sides, already getting him to laugh out loud. But then, he got her in the left thigh with his feather, causing her to fall over and start laughing hysterically herself. "S-S-SPIKE YOU MONSTER!" Rarity cursed between laughter.
"That's right! I'm a tickle monster! And nobody can stop me!" Spike exclaimed proudly.
Rarity tried harder to fight back by reaching for his chest, but Spike got her in the armpit with his feather and in the back of her knee with his hand. This was enough to make her laugh much louder and render her basically immobile. "No! No, no, no, no! HAHAHAHAHA! ALRIGHT I SURRENDER! ENOUGH, PLEASE!" she shouted. Finally, Spike took mercy on her and released his hold on her.
"Round one goes to Spike!" Pinkie declared as Spike stood up and she raised his arm in the air victoriously.

Next, it was Applejack's turn to face her boyfriend in the circle. She had to admit, she was impressed with how he had defeated Rarity, but she would make sure not to go down so easily. "When I'm done with you, you're gonna be drowning in your own tears, partner," she said with a cocky grin.
"We'll see about that, AJ," Spike answered.
Once again, Pinkie gave the signal. "Ready... set... tickle!"
The country girl started by lunging her fingers into Spike's armpits, but he retaliated by tickling her neck with his hand and her exposed belly with his feather. Both of them were busy enduring the immense yet pleasurable torture from the other, laughing their respective heads off. "HAHAHAHA! W-Well played, Appleja-hack!" Spike chuckled out. "But not well enough!"
The young man then proceeded to flick AJ's belly button repeatedly while using the feather to tickle her big breasts, sending her into an even stronger laughing fit. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA! H-HEY, C-CUT IT OUT! HEHAHAHAHA!" Applejack pleaded.
"Not until you concede defeat!" Spike demanded.
"HEHEHAHA! ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! I GIVE! JUST MAKE IT STOP!"
Satisfied, Spike ceased his tickling and allowed her to get back up. "Round two: Spike!" Pinkie exclaimed before looking the boy dead in the eye.

"You may have bested those amateurs, bub, but now you'll have to deal with me. And all the powers of laughter!" the pink-haired girl warned.
"Hehe. She's got a point, Spike," Applejack agreed. "If you know what's good for ya, you might wanna go ahead and end it right here."
"Indeed," said Rarity. "I cannot begin to count the number of times Pinkie Pie's nasty fingers have driven me to tears of laughter. Probably best to quit while you're ahead, dear."
"Not gonna happen," Spike insisted, undeterred. "I'm two for two right now and I'm not about to back out now."
"Suit yourself, but don't say we didn't warn you," Pinkie threatened playfully.

Spike faced his final opponent and prepared himself for anything. He knew this one wouldn't be such an easy win, but he was still sure that he could prevail. This time, Applejack started the match. "Ready... set... tickle!" she said and the two were instantly on each other.
Pinkie slid her hands under Spike's shirt and tickled his stomach while Spike dug his hands and feather into Pinkie's armpits. Each of them had the other trapped in a rather torturous stalemate, laughing loudly and gratuitously. Soon, though, Pinkie broke the stalemate by swiping Spike's feather from him, pulling off his sock and tickling the sole of his foot with it.
"AHAHAHAHA! Oh-ho, so that's how you want it, eh, Pinkie?" Spike questioned between laughs. He managed to wrench his ankle free and reach over far enough to yank Pinkie's shirt over her head and assault her slightly pudgy belly with his fingers. This allowed him to turn the tides of the fight in his favor as Pinkie started roaring out with hysterical laughter. So much that her face became absolutely drenched in tears.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! C-C-COME ON SPIKE! HAHAHAHA! KNOCK IT OFF! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"You know how to make it stop, Pinkie," Spike reminded her.
"OKAY, OKAY! I GIVE! YOU WIN!"
And with that, Spike was officially the reigning undefeated tickle fight champion.

Suddenly, the lights came back on, meaning that the electricity was back, including the TV. "Oh, thank heavens," said Rarity.
"You said it," Spike agreed.
"You know, Spike, even though we all lost, that tickle fighting sure was a lot of fun," said Pinkie.
"Yep. Glad you suggested it," Applejack agreed.
"Me too. I'd be happy to do it again sometime," Rarity added.
"Thanks. I'm glad you all had as much fun doing it as I had beating you all one by one," Spike teased.
"Enjoy it while it lasts, Spike, because next time, you're going down," said AJ.
"Oh yeah! Just you wait. I plan to sharpen my skills and my fingers to regain my tickle champ title one day!" said Pinkie.
"We'll see about that. But for now, what do you say we go back to watching our show?"

The girls all agreed to Spike's proposal and sat back down with him on the couch, continuing to enjoy their show and their delicious cupcakes. But now before they all unanimously said "We love you, Spike" and then kissed him on his face all at the same time. This stormy night had definitely turned out to be one to remember.
