This is the second part of my Final Fantasy 12 story, it is set before the game and features the characters Vaan and Penelo.
For those who have not played Final Fantasy XII I have attached pictures of Vaan and Penelo to this post.
Also here is a link to Part 1:

I hope this conforms to the rules etc. Please post me some feedback.
Enjoy.
PS I know the beginning looks the same as part 1, but it IS different!
************
************
Vaan stood in the shadows of the Lowtown, waiting. It had been six months since the Archadians had invaded Dalmasca, causing the war in which his brother had died. He eyed up his targets, time to take some revenge. Across the small square stood two Imperial soldiers, they were posted all around The Royal City of Rabanastre and they often stole from merchants. So Vaan thought it only fair that he even the odds every once in a while.
He ran full pelt from his hiding place towards the unsuspecting guards. He tackled one to the ground, grabbing for his coin purse. The second guard shouted and lunged for Vaan just as he took hold of the purse. It was at this point the second guard dragged Vaan to his feet and shackled his wrists.
“You'll be spending a night in the palace cells, mate”
The recumbent guard stood and spat in Vaan's face. This enraged Vaan further to his captors, but he was unable to prevent them from dragging him off towards the palace.
“Looks like you need more practice kid” Laughed one guard.
“Yea, looks like I do.”
***********
Vaan's night in the cells contained little to no sleep. He thought of his friends, the other street orphans of Lowtown but he thought mostly of Penelo. He naïvely wondered if he would ever see her again, he later realised that this was folly, but during the night this worry caused him to replay all his fondest memories of her through his head. All of the memories were of good times they had spent together, which had been many – they spent most of their childhood together. However a lot of the memories involved their favourite past time; tickling. He recalled the first time he found out Penelo was ticklish; he had just been taken in by her parents and was relay sad...
***********
Vaan was sitting on a chair in what had just became his bedroom, when Penelo walked in.
“Hey Vaan, I'm sorry.” Penelo look at Vaan, who said nothing. “My parents said I should come talk to you, get to know you a little better. Like that's possible” She continued, laughing. Vaan still said nothing and was staring sadly at his boots. “Look lets make it a game shall we? We can ask each other questions, anything, one at a time and we have to answer, the truth. Yea?” Vaan still said nothing, but Penelo was determined to her friend to talk to her. “Good I'm glad you agree, I'll go first. Hmm, what's your biggest dream? I don't think you've ever told me.” She could see this had gotten his attention, Vann looked up at her with cold tears still running down his face.
“Well, it's kinda stupid but I wanna fly an airship. I wanna be a sky pirate and sail the skys. Freedom.” He smiled for the first time in days, which made Penelo smile.
“That's not stupid, it would be nice to fly around, free. You're go.” Vann thought for a moment and asked a question that made Penelo blush and would change Vaan for ever.
“What do you think your biggest weakness is?”
“Urm, well, tickling.” She said quietly
***********
Vaan smiled in the darkening cell at the thought of the ensuing tickle fight. It was a rather one-sided affair but, he remembered, it cheered them both up immensely.
This remembrance over, his mind returned to the present situation and his face fell. He looked towards the floor and decided to resume his staring contest with his knees, once more he smiled.
***********
Vaan ran into the storage room behind Migelo's, where both he and Penelo helped out, to find Penelo herself sitting there looking thoroughly innocent – not looking at the ceiling and whistling, but nearly.
“All right Penelo, where is he?”
“Who? I –“
“Kytes!” He roared cutting her off “He stole a coin purse from me, red, gold chain draw string”
“Vann, you don't have a red coin purse, with a gold draw string”
“Well I stole it –“ Penelo laughed “but that's not the point! He took it from me and I need it back, where is he?”
“What do you need it for?”
“Just some...magick” Vaan replied defensively.
“What Magick? What do you need magick for?”
“Never mind that, where is he?” Vaan stepped towards Penelo so he was standing right over her.
“I don't know Vaan.” She replied with a slight smile that told Vaan everything he needed to know.
“Penelo, I know you too well” He sat on her lap to stop her from rising. “One last chance Penelo, where is he?”
“Or you'll what?” Vaan sighed, he thought she would know him better than that. He lightly danced his fingernails over her bare knees and Penelo instantly burst into giggles, unable to prevent this out burst as she had neither seen nor guessed what Vaan would do. As Vaan started to squeeze the sides of her knees he resumed questioning her.
“Tell me where he's gone Penelo” he shouted over her yelps.
“Ahh, heheh. I heheh don't ah! I don't heheh know.” Penelo replied.
“I know that's a lie Penelo and you know I'm going to keep tickling until you tell me the truth.”
Penelo knew this to be true, she thought back to the times when he had tickled her before at home, good times, safe times, but also torturous. She knew he was determined and that he would not stop tickling until she told him what he wanted to know – this scenario was all too familiar to her. But she couldn't betray Kytes' trust, plus he barely even begun tickling her...
By know Penelo was screaming between loud laughs. Vaan stopped and turned around, sitting back down on her lap but this time facing her.
“Tell me where he is Penelo” Vaan said looking her in the face. Penelo avoided eye contact and said nothing. “Penelo, please? You know what I'll have to do.” Penelo looked into Vaan's eyes.
“Do your worst.” she smiled.
Vaan liked this, this was one of their infamous tests of wills. Penelo would challenge Vaan to break her using tickling and Vaan would not give up the opportunity to have yet another go. The question was; did Vaan's determination out way Penelo's ticklishness.
Vann looked at her expectantly.
“Well, Amal?” he questioned.
“The cheek” laughed Penelo as she swept her arms upwards and then made to reach down her back, placing her hands as far down as she could and hugging her head with her elbows. “Better?”
“Much” replied Vaan with a wide smile and even wider eyes as Penelo slowly closed her own eyes and took a deep breath.
“Yugri” Penelo said quietly. If Vaan's smile could have gotten any wider, it would. As it was he just extended his wiggling fingers deep into Penelo's bare armpits. She responded by yelping and laughing intensely, yet she still managed to hold her elbows to her head. Vaan began to stroke and rake his finger tips up and down the expanse of her underarms, he remembered thinking that the entire area that seemed to be ticklish was a lot larger than it looked if Penelo had her arms down, however it did not look half as large as her underarms felt to Penelo who was struggling now to keep still. She took one deep breath and screwed her eyes tight shut in an attempt to block out the ticklish sensations. Vaan saw this and knew he was winning. He began to dig into her exposed armpits, viciously but not so much as to hurt her, and intersperse this action with once again raking his fingertips over her armpits.
After around a minute this proved too much for Penelo to block out and the breath she had been holding burst forth from her mouth, chased by a torrent of giggles.
“Ahahhha hahahahaa Vannnnnnn, Stop.”
Vaan just shook his head and continued. Finally she gave up fighting the ticklish feelings in her armpits and, unable to resist the strong tidal urge to pull down her arms and protect herself from this ticklish attack any longer...
“P-hahah-ANAMI-hihhihi-SSSS!” She shouted, her hands shooting up in the air.
With this Vann knew he had won. With this Penelo knew things were about to get worse, and with this Vaan stood up, turned round, and sat back down on Penlo's lap facing away from her again.
“You know what this means” he said in a sing-song voice. He had given her a fair chance and despite the whining that had already begun, pre-empting his actions, he was going to use his knowledge of Penelo to finally extract the information he wanted.
Penelo was generally rather ticklish all over her petite body, however there were a few spots that she really could resist for long and it was one of those spots he began tickling now.
“Vaan please don't, you wouldn't -AH. Vann not my knees! Not again! Pl-hehehhe-ese!” she wailed.
Vaan went straight into squeezing her kneecaps now, the time for teasing was over. Penelo's reaction was to try and stop him by any means, since she couldn't rise and run away she began hitting him on his back with her small, bunched up fists.
Vann ignored this assault and continued kneading the sides of her knees, he knew she couldn't last this out for long. Unable to stop him from tickling her, Penelo's attacks upon his back became less focused and contained less power. Her knees were one of her weakest spots, they always had been and Vaan knew it.
Penelo started stamping her feet up and down to try and dislodge Vaan's hands, but they both knew this was a useless last ditch attempt to stop the tickling. It didn't work. Penelo started to squeal and laugh louder.
'This is it' thought Vaan I've got her
'This is it' thought Penelo, he's got me.
This was it.
“ST-HAHAHA-OPPPP!” She screamed – the only way to break any speech through her laughter at this point. Vann obliged, stood up and looked her in the eyes, still with a large cheeky smile in his face.
“I'll tell you where Kytes is.” She said panting slightly from being unable to breath sufficiently.
“Good, just remember I know all your weak spots Penelo, all of them.”
“I know...” Penelo replied with a blush and a slight smile.
