Chapter Text
On one particular sunny day, Sunny Milk, Star Sapphire, and Luna Child flew high in the sky in search of new places to explore. They encircled the surrounding area until one spot in particular caught Star's eye as she looked down. "Look! That forest down there! We haven’t been there before, I think…" She pointed. "Let's check it out!" Sunny Milk said before she led the trio downwards. They descended, swiftly falling towards the ground before they all slowed down. They gracefully landed next to each other on the soft meadow grass that surrounded the forest.
"Hmm... Isn't it kind of small?" Luna Child commented as she looked towards the trees. The wooded area was only an acre at most, though it was still enough to explore. "We'll be in and out quick. Maybe we'll find something cool. Come on!" Sunny commanded as she looked to the other two and pointed onwards. They followed her lead as she flew beneath the forest canopy. The three girls split up to scour the place as quickly as possible. They didn’t need to worry about getting lost or going in circles given the small size of this forest. Each fairy headed in her own direction, hoping to impress her friends by finding a rare magical item or something of the sort.
The search went on for minutes until Sunny and Luna could hear a voice nearby. "Guys! Look what I found! We're gonna be rich!" Star's voice echoed through the trees. Facing her was a wooden chest full of valuables. It was filled to the brim with gold coins and rare gems. It seemed too good to be true, yet it was just sitting there, untouched and free for them to take. Star turned around to face her incoming friends. The two other fairies appeared from the foliage, eagerly looking around to see what she had found. "Where is it? Where is it!?!" Sunny asked Star as she came up to her and excitedly squeezed her hand. "Huh? It's right-" Star turned around, stopping herself after seeing that the shiny treasure chest was no longer there. Seemingly, it had vanished without a trace.
"Wait. You're not pulling our legs, are you? It's not nice to get our hopes up like that, you know!" Sunny complained as she pouted in disappointment. While Star Sapphire was the most mature of the trio, she couldn't help but play pranks on Sunny and Luna occasionally. This time she was serious though. "A big treasure chest was just here, I swear! It must be around here somewhere. Let's go look- Ow!!!" Star's excuse was interrupted when Sunny balled up her fist and bopped the girl on her forehead. She groaned and rubbed her head in pain. "How do you just lose a chest like that? You're definitely tricking us again! Hmph... if only we really found something worth that much. Then I could buy a whole mountain of candy..." In disappointment, Sunny fantasized about what she would do with such riches. "Yeah, and I could buy the comfiest bed in the world…" Luna chimed in.
"Listen, it’s not a joke! If we just split up and look for it, we’ll have all that gold for ourselves!" Star insisted. They bickered back and forth for a while. Then, all of a sudden, they felt the ground rumble beneath their feet. They all looked down in bewilderment. "Uhh, what's going on?" Luna asked, though Star and Sunny were just as confused. Several seconds later, the rumbling came to a stop.
"Huh... that was strange." Star commented. They were about to get back to the matter at hand when Luna suddenly screamed. "Something got me!" Looking down, Star and Sunny could see a thick green vine protruding from the ground which had tightly wrapped itself around Luna's leg. She struggled and tried to free herself, but the vine was far too strong. It sprang to life, shooting up from the ground and carrying her up into the air. More vines swiftly appeared to restrain her other three limbs. She tried to scream for help once more, but another vine came from behind and covered her mouth, leaving her muted. A muffled groaning now came out as the sleepy fairy kept struggling and pleading for help.
"Luna!!!" "We'll save you!" Sunny and Star yelled as they rushed towards her to prepare for battle. In a brilliant display of flashing lights, they fired their strongest magic attacks against the vines holding Luna hostage. To their dismay, they soon found out that the attacks had no effect against them. The vines simply kept moving as if nothing had hit them. They had to be careful not to hit Luna too. Luna herself tried to break free using her magic, but it felt difficult, as if that power was being drained from her. As she tried kicking against the bindings, her right slipper came off and fell to the ground, revealing her foot in her soft, white-colored, silky sock.
The battle continued until Star and Sunny realized they were better off conserving their energy. Luna was still in the vile grasp of the tentacle-like vines as they carried her away. Suddenly, beneath her, a large sprout emerged from the ground. It quickly grew into a tall stalk with a big flower budding out of the top. It looked like an enlarged sunflower after growing fully. Luna continued to struggle as she stared down at it before she was turned upside down and lowered headfirst towards it. "Help!!! Guys! Cut me out of here!" She pleaded as she saw the flower's central disk open up like a giant circular maw. She began to cry as her head drew closer to it.
Luna soon made contact with the flower's top opening. It expanded further to fit her head before she was sucked in and slowly began to slide down the tube. Her desperate screams echoed throughout the trees until her mouth made it to the rim of the oversized flower. Star and Sunny watched in horror as the elastic stem stretched around her head. An impression of her face could be seen from the outside as the sound of her muffled screaming seeped out. With her arms forced by her side, the flower's mouth squeezed itself around her shoulders.
The rest of her upper body disappeared into the plant, leaving behind a pair of petite, struggling legs. She thrashed for her life, kicking off her other slipper in the process. It was fruitless. Her legs then sank in too until it stopped at her ankles. Now they could see the outline of Luna's trapped body with a pair of socked feet protruding from the top. Her frantic movements could be seen pushing ever so slightly against the botanical membrane, but even with the full might of her body, she couldn't manage to fight against its strength.
Her socked feet wiggled around wildly. This was the only movement her stuck body was capable of now. Suddenly, she felt something hook onto the toe of her right sock before it was quickly pulled off and discarded. Another vine then peeled off the other sock in the same way, leaving Luna's pale feet bare and exposed.
Luna's soles were white and soft and had a light creamy texture. There was a slight pinkish contrast between the sole and the rest of the foot, subtly outlining the arch and toes. Luna loved to put lotion on her soft skin before she went to bed each night. This was especially true for her feet, which she would carefully rub down every time, even making sure to get between the toes. This kept them incredibly fair and soft to the touch. She had the biggest feet of the three fairies, though they were still really small.
The vines prodded along Luna's immobile feet, testing their ticklishness. They squirmed around, trying to dodge the vines as the captured fairy squealed into the wall of her new prison. "Let Luna go!" Sunny threatened the monstrous plant as she watched it torment her poor friend. The vines stopped tickling Luna's feet and instead turned their attention to Sunny as she rushed in. Despite her best efforts, each of her limbs were quickly restrained by the dastardly vines. The enraged fairy continued to fight, cursing the plant as she struggled, but her efforts were in vain.
The vines pulled tightly on Sunny's arms and legs. "You'll pay for this, you overgrown dandelion!" She shouted as it shook her back and forth. Sweat pooled on her forehead as her face flushed red in anger. Another sprout germinated beneath her and rapidly developed into a second flower trap. "No! Let me go! No!!!" The defeated fairy screamed. Her body was turned upside down before she was lowered towards the flower. She convulsed in throes of despair as she glanced into the wide orifice that would soon contain her.
Constant fighting only made Sunny's predicament more painful, as the strong vines twisted her arms behind her back. The flower took her inside, expanding to fit the vengeful fairy's petite physique. The phloem cocoon writhed as Sunny slided all the way down until her head reached the bottom. The top opening contracted tightly around her ankles. She had been forced to join Luna in the fate of being plant prey.
The prodding vines reached into Sunny's black mary janes and pulled them off one by one. They were tossed to the ground. Her toes wiggled inside her white socks. Her socks came next as the vine reached into the ankles and slowly peeled them off. Her fair, pinkish feet and toes were now exposed. They wiggled around in the afternoon sunlight.
Sunny had the smallest feet of the three. Her dainty toes were average in length. The cute, orange-haired fairy's soles and toes had a nice rosy tint to them, even more so than Luna’s. Her skin, while light, was slightly more tanned compared to Luna's and Star's. Sunny's feet were slightly firm to the touch, though they were also very smooth with few wrinkles even when curled. She didn't take the time to care for her feet as much as the other fairy trapped next to her did, but they were still naturally very adorable and shapely.
As would soon be apparent, Sunny also had the most ticklish feet compared to the other two. The vines started to run themselves along her smooth arches, producing an instant reaction as her vulnerable feet wiggled, curled, and squirmed to get away from them. She crossed one foot over the other, but it was no use when the vine would tickle it and force it to wiggle away before tickling the other. Sunny would be giggling like a little girl right now if it wasn't for her mouth being covered by the flower’s inside.
Star watched in terror as everything unfolded in front of her. Her friends were practically gone, trapped inside the awful flowers with only their innocent bare feet visible. She could see the shapes of their desperate bodies writhing inside the rubbery plant stems. The impressions of their faces seemed to be staring back at her, begging to be freed from their cruel confinements. This was especially true for Sunny, whose feet were currently experiencing a relentless tickle assault. The fairies have had playful tickle fights before, but neither of them were having fun here. Sunny’s anger had been quelled. Despite her forced smile inside the flower, the only emotions she felt now were sadness and defeat.
Star's heart raced as her hands shook. She was frozen in fear. She had to do something to save her friends, but they couldn't even put a welt in the beastly plant when attacking as a group. She had no hope of defeating it alone. At least they seemed to be alive for now and not in any imminent danger. She decided her only option was to run away and find help. The fairy quickly pivoted, turning around before leaping into the air and flying forward as fast as her magical wings could carry her.
Almost immediately, she felt something snag on her right leg as her movement came to a halt. The plant was not only stronger than the fairies, but faster too. A vine squeezed tightly on her little leg tightly as she was reeled back to join her friends.
More vines came to restrain Star's arms and other leg. At this point, her body fell limp. She wanted to move, but the crushing fear had left her petrified. Instead, she could only stare down blankly at the new flower that sprouted beside the other two. Her gaze then wandered over to the two wiggling pairs of feet that belonged to her friends. The feet sat on top of the pedals with their petite soles on full display. A pair of vines sprang up and wrapped themselves around Star’s boots before pulling them off, revealing her white-socked feet. The boots fell to the ground before she was turned upside down to face her soon-to-be flower prison.
Star stared down into the gaping hole that led to what seemed like an abyss. She wondered if she was going to die here. She probably would, she thought, as she didn't have high hopes for their chances of rescue. The ring-shaped mouth latched itself onto the top of her head and began to suck her in. She descended into the dank darkness, going all the way down until only her socked feet stuck out at the top. The stem's inside was incredibly claustrophobic and lonely. When she opened her eyes, all she could see was the faint, dim, green light that shone through its membrane. No noise came in from the outside. Instead, she was left with the faint stretching sounds that could be heard when she tried to shift her position inside the tight confinements.
The inside of the stem felt very stuffy against her soft skin. Her whole body was stuck in one position. She groaned in misery, already dreading her terrible predicament. Meanwhile, the vines outside turned their attention to her struggling feet. One by one, her white ankle socks were pulled off to expose her pretty feet. The socks fell to the ground near her boots.
Compared to the other fairies, Star's feet were average in size. They were slightly bigger than Sunny's feet while being a little smaller than Luna's. Her toes were shorter and stubbier than average, and this was especially apparent when she curled them in response to feeling the cool spring breeze on her bare feet. Their skin tone was also in the middle. All of the fairies had light skin, though hers wasn't quite as pale as Luna's. Her soles also didn't have much of a natural pinkish tint compared to the other two. Instead, they were pale throughout. In terms of texture, they were decently soft and smooth.
Despite hating being trapped inside the flower's stem, she wished her bare feet were covered too. She felt vulnerable having her feet sitting out in the open on top of the pedals while the evil vines prowled above. She felt the crisp breeze flow over them and between her toes as she curled them and tried to kick. Her paranoia was confirmed when the vines' tips began to poke at her exposed soles. Her toes immediately curled, and her feet twitched. Like the other girls, her feet were quite ticklish.
Several narrow vine tips traced up and down Star's sensitive arches. Her feet shook side to side like crazy as her toes frantically switched between spreading and curling themselves. It didn't take long for the vines to exploit their weakness, digging in between the toes to tickle the most sensitive spots. A few more joined in, wrapping around her short toes to restrain them before tickling the toe pads. The torment continued with her feet now fully immobilized, driving her insane from the sensations. She wanted to struggle and scream, but even opening her mouth was difficult while stuck inside the plant. Her laughter only came out as a weak and muffled murmur.
The whole flower swayed back and forth ever so slightly as Star's soles continued to be ruthlessly teased. She was struggling with all her might, but it was far too tight for her to make any real movements. The tickling lasted for another minute, which felt much longer to her, though she was given a moment of relief when it was finally over. The vines released their grasp on her short toes, letting them wiggle freely again as she silently laid upside down in her cocoon-like confines.
With the three fairies successfully captured and subdued, they were now at the full mercy of the malevolent plant. The three flowers stood side by side with the vague shape of the fairies' bodies inside each of them. Their bared feet laid on top of the pedals, wiggling around in fear. Each of them were completely terrified in the dark depths of the stems. They were only feet away from each other, yet they were all stuck with the crushing feelings of confinement and loneliness. Worse still, none of them knew what was going to happen to them next. They could only hope someone would rescue them soon.
The fairies were made to stay trapped alone with their thoughts for a few more minutes. Suddenly, Sunny felt something falling down onto her soles. It felt like some sort of dust or powder. She had no clue what was happening, but soon she felt a faint tingling that spread throughout the skin of her feet. She tried to brush it off by rubbing one foot against the sole of the other, yet the feeling only got worse. It soon began to spread between her toes. Luna was the next to feel the strange powder settle onto her delicate soles.
The mild electric feeling in Sunny's feet continued to worsen, until it broke out into a nasty itch. Vines immediately moved in to tie her toes back, preventing her feet from moving after the itching powder came into full effect. The small fairy went from concerned to panicked as the itching worsened every second. Her toes tightly flexed against the vines. Now, she wanted to move and scratch her itchy feet more than anything else. From the outside, her body could only twitch slightly as her toes curled. In less than a minute, the terrible irritation had made her fall into a frenzy. She bit her lip as she tried to bear the itch. Right now, it felt like she had just stomped barefoot through a tall patch of poison ivy.
Luna's soft feet experienced the prickly itching effect next. She tried to ignore it, but it quickly rose to unbearable levels like Sunny had just experienced. It began to drive her crazy as she gritted her teeth and violently pushed against the wall of her cocoon. Even though she couldn't bear to sit still, the tight wrapping forced her to stay bound in one position. Even bending her knees a little was a challenge, and moving her arms around was an impossible feat. Her only option was to twitch her feet around and spread her toes out in hopes that it would offer just a little relief from the nasty itching. Eventually, she tried to cross one foot over the other and itch the ball of one foot with the nails of the other. This didn't do much to help it, but with the dry itching at full intensity, her feet had a compulsion to scratch and rub against each other regardless. She whimpered in misery as her frenzied feet kicked and danced around on top of the flower.
Soon, Luna wouldn’t be allowed to move her feet at all. Vines came in, randomly ensnaring some of her toes as she tried to pull them away. Then, her big toes were brought together before a tough bundle of plant matter wrapped around them. It broke off from the plant, then quickly dried out and shrunk until it became uncomfortably tight on her toes. Her feet were now stuck side by side. Now, all she could do was periodically kick her soles up and down as her toes curled and flexed. It all felt like a terrible nightmare to her. A toetied, suffering pair of feet writhed as the rest of her body wriggled below.
Star's petite feet were ready to be punished next as they sat idly atop the flower's petals. A bristling, medium-sized plant pod hovered above them before slowly cracking itself open. These pods were where all the itching powder was coming from. The powder slowly trickled out of the openings and dusted the fairy's innocent soles.
This 'powder' was actually an army of tiny, spore-like particles. Their surfaces were covered in microscopic spikes that anchored them in place and penetrated the skin's outer layer, allowing them to latch themselves onto the victim. They absorbed the skin’s moisture, causing the feeling of dryness, while releasing enzymes that caused irritation and extreme itching. In addition, they would induce a mild level of sweating. After a while, the worst effects would happen. The sweat would put the spores into an excited state which caused their irritating secretions to go into overdrive. The onset was gradual, but once it reached its peak, victims would experience the worst itching imaginable alongside the feeling of pins and needles stabbing all over the affected area.
Star soon began to feel the spore powder's effect like her friends were. Her feet twitched, feeling the dryness and irritation set in. Like the others before, she couldn't help but try to rub off the dust sticking to her feet, though it wouldn't come off no matter how hard she brushed at it with her toes. Naturally, it broke out into an irritating itch next as her feet began to quake like mad. Regardless of what she did, it only got worse and worse. Her poor feet were continually attacked all over by the tiny spores. Eventually, it became too much to bear and she couldn't help but try to scratch it away with the nails on her toes. Like Luna found out before, this barely offered any relief to the brutal itching. Still, it was the only thing she could do.
Soon, it became apparent that trying to scratch the itch only made it worse. As she scraped away at the soles, a few spores spread into and under the nails. A painful, burning itch soon erupted in those spots. She curled them in insanity and frustration as she made another failed attempt to kick and thrash around inside the plant. At least it couldn't get any worse, she thought. She resumed scratching away with her petite toes for the tiny amount of relief it offered from the hellish itching.
Suddenly, a series of sharp objects jabbed into her sole as she scratched. The pain shocked her as the foot immediately reeled back to the side. Star panicked even more, but she couldn't ignore the itch. Her toes moved back up again to resume scratching the other sole, but she felt the painful pricks come down on her foot once more. She tried again, and she felt more needles prod into her sole all the way from the heel to the ball. At this point, she figured out that this was happening every time she tried to scratch the itch. Thorny vines hovered over the fairy's itching feet to attack them every time she tried to relieve herself. Unlike the others who had their toes tied, Star had to force herself not to itch or else she would face a harsh punishment. She was left to mindlessly flail her suffering feet about, failing to stop herself from scratching a few more times and facing the painful consequences.
