While running through Inkopolis Square, "Gatty" in hand, Zoe was racing towards Deca Tower so she could try to raise her rank in some intense battles! But.....Per usual she was a little too excited and wasn't paying attention as she tripped! Accidentally firing her Gatling gun and spraying ink right onto a group of nearby inklings faces and their food!

Well...they weren't to happy about that.....Not to mention....the three of them were a team of well known S rankers.

Both worried over what she had just done and who it was too, Zoe frantically began apologizing, but the S rank team wasn't having it! They wanted compensation for their ruined meal! It cost tickets to get that food after all and why should they waste their hard earned winnings for HER mistake?

Well.....Zoe had never earned any tickets before.....and couldn't replace even a single one of their meals. With a look of fear and worry washing all over her face she cried out that she can't!

The group of Inklings seemed to get even angrier with her until a tall icy Octoling suddenly came over from the food truck, her own meal in one hand and a sniper in the other. She was the leader of the team, and after listening to what had happened...just looked Zoe up and down, her eyes just cutting straight through the poor C+ Ranker.

With a cold icy gaze she sat down her food, and merely said "Follow me". A confused Zoe looking at the other three inklings who laughed and said she'd be taught a lesson now! No way their cool leader would let her get off scott free for what she did! They continued to laugh more and more as they left to clean themselves off telling the poor Inkling that their Boss would handle this now. Zoe merely whimpering in response as she followed after the cold beauty, too scared to disobey.

After a short walk she was led down an empty side alley where it seemed like they would be left alone. The Octoling taking off a draw string backpack as she pointed to the ground, calmly saying "sit, legs out" her eyes locked on Zoe.

With that Icy stare barring down on her, Zoe obediently plopped right down, legs straight out! The Octoling calmly pulling two hairbrushes from her pack.

"No running"

Zoe wasn't sure what was about to happen...but as the Octoling got in close....reached down and gently took off her flip flops and placed them to the side, a sudden rush of nervousness filled the Inkling's chest and she didn't know why. Her toes instinctively curled, and her face started to run hot red embarrassed as the Octoling said one last thing to her "Not until you're payed up~" And Zoe could of sworn she saw the Icy Octoling let out a tiny smile.

Well~~~~ I had actually gotten this one made with the bio pic, but I just wanted to wait first before sharing~ Can't have too much Zoe cuteness at once right?

Again this was made by the wonderful and amazing https://www.deviantart.com/mostlyfunstuff

This certainly answers the question "Is Zoe ticklish?" quite nicely I'd say!

The answer is a resounding yes! And faced with such intense ticklish scrubbing, all the poor dear can do it tug down her hat and laugh and laugh and laugh~

I sincerely hope you all enjoy this! But oh my, who is this Octoling bullying her? Why....that's a story for another time~
