“Hey Henrik.” Someone called. 

Henrik turned around. “Hm?” 

“Henrik.” The person said again. “Vhat?” Henrik replied, turning to look at the person. 

“Hi.” The person said with a smirk. 

Henrik sighed. “Hi Chase.” He replied before turning back around. 

Chase smiled and pulled out his phone. While Henrik was texting on his phone, Chase had started sending things to him. 

Henrik noticed the notification and clicked it. 

[H] 

[I] 

Henrik looked at Chase over his shoulder. “Really?” Henrik asked. 

Chase giggled and went back to his phone. 

Henrik tried to go back to texting. But he started getting different notifications. The first one was an airdrop of a distorted picture of a horse with the word ‘HONSE’ on it. 

Henrik raised an eyebrow and looked at Chase. “Vhat is zhis?” He asked. 

Chase smirked. “...Honse.” He muttered with a laugh. 

Henrik clicked the ‘deny’ button on the photo, and went back to texting. But he had only written 3 more words when another airdrop notification showed up on his screen. This time, it was a picture of a person hitting its head in the corner of the room. 

[Y’all ever find a corner and just ñҰҰҰêêêêêê]

Henrik looked at Chase. “.....Okay, maybe I’ll keep that one.” he said before clicking ‘Accept’. He went back to texting. He got a few words written down before clicking send. And right as he was about to go back and text someone from earlier, another notification showed up. 

It was a picture of a strawberry with a gun. 

[This is a strobbery] 

It was at this point…that Henrik had decided that was enough. He moved to his own camera roll, and started choosing photos of his own. With the photos chosen, Henrik started airdropping photos to Chase’s phone. 

“Hm- EW! What the hell?!” Chase clicked the ‘Deny’ button. “No!” 

Henrik smirked slightly and airdropped another photo. 

“What is- GAH!” Chase covered his eyes for a moment while he clicked ‘Deny’. “I did NOT need to see that.” Chase muttered out loud. 

Henrik smirked and airdropped a couple more photos. 

Back-to-back, more vulgar photos from medical case’s he had read about, had shown up on Chase’s phone. Chase had to keep covering up his eyes and clicking ‘deny’ on every single picture that showed up. “Henrik, STOP!” Chase yelled. 

“Annoying, isn’t it?” Henrik asked with a smirk. “Yes! I get it! I’ll stop.” Chase replied. 

“Good.” Henrik replied, touching the airdrop button to stop it from sending. 

Chase sighed and rubbed his forehead. “There is a huge difference between ‘Honse’, and ‘arm that’s been crushed, degloved and burned’.” Chase told him. 

Henrik chuckled. “Do not even get me started on zhe penis pictures I have saved on here.” Henrik warned with a smirk. 

Chase gagged and covered his mouth. “EW! HENRIK! SHUT UP!” Chase yelled. 

Henrik bursted out laughing as he went back to texting. 

Later, Henrik was watching TV, and occasionally checking his phone. Anytime he got a text, he would look at his phone to determine if it’s worth texting back or not. 

Eventually, one of the text messages was from Chase. Henrik chuckled and picked it up, clicking the message and looking at it. It looked like a photo of himself, but…with text on it. 

[When you’re on your 5th cup of coffee…and you’re still tired…] 

Henrik blinked and stared at the photo. Not…the most flattering picture of him, to say the least…Where Chase got this picture, Henrik couldn’t be sure. Henrik put the phone down and continued to watch The View. 

A few minutes later, another picture was sent to Henrik. He rolled his eyes and picked up his phone, opening it before reading the text: 

[When they question my knowledge on anatomy:] 

Henrik chuckled a slight bit and saved that one to his phone. Then, he put down his phone and kept watching TV. 

Not even a second later, Henrik received not one…not two…but 7 memes at the same time. This made his phone notification sound go off 7 times over, cutting off every alert so a new alert can make itself known. Henrik grumbled and got up from his seat, taking his phone with him and turning the TV off right as it was changing to commercials. 

Henrik walked to Chase’s room and kicked the door open. He heard the words “HOLY FUCKIN’-” coming from the other side of the room. Henrik turned to look at Chase, his eyes burning with rage. 

“Are you done?” Henrik asked. 

Chase blinked once, staring at Henrik…

Chase blinked a second time…before slowly smiling and clicking the [send] button without even looking. 

Henrik widened his eyes for a moment as the alert went off on his own phone, before closing his eyes and breathing in deeply. He was attempting to calm himself down so he doesn’t completely obliterate Chase…

Or rather…not right away. 

“HenrikHENRIKWAIT!” Chase ordered as Henrik sprinted up to him. 

Henrik slowed to a stop and looked at him with death in his eyes. “What.” He said. 

Chase bit his lip. “A-At least…” he pointed to the phone. “L-Look at th-the…memes?” he asked. 

Henrik sighed and pulled up the message, looking at the messages to read the memes. 

[Henrik looking for the next donut shop]

[Henrik after his 13 hour shift] 

[Henrik looking for the time he gave a fuck] 

[Henrik trying to listen to your bullshit] 

Henrik closed his phone, dropped it on the ground before tackling Chase to his bed. “Vhere did you get zhose pictures?” Henrik asked. 

Chase widened his eyes and immediately looked a little guilty. “I…took screenshots from your video cameos on the channel.” Chase admitted. 

Henrik blinked…and then poked Chase’s belly. “Very vell.” Henrik said. Then, Henrik clawed and skittered his fingers strategically on Chase’s belly. “But zhis isn’t zhe first time you annoyed me today.” Henrik reminded him. “And for ZHAT…you get tickles.” Henrik declared. 

Chase’s reaction was immediate. The man was seriously going for his worst spot right away: The right side of his belly. It was a really bad spot that Henrik knew too well and unfortunately, appeared to be taking advantage of it. “NAHAHAHA! HEHEHENRIK! NOHOHOT THAHAHAT!” Chase yelled. 

“Not vhat?” Henrik asked with a smirk. 

Chase attempted to roll himself onto his stomach, but only made it to his right side. “NOTICKLES! NOHOHO TIHIHICKLEHESSSS!” Chase yelled back, kicking his feet. 

“Oh, you zhink ordering me around vill help your situazion?” Henrik asked as he rolled Chase onto his back again. Henrik then switched to squeezing and gently digging his fingers into the right side of his belly. 

Chase gasped and threw his head back with a high-pitched squeal, before hugging himself and wiggling around as his fits of cackles filled the room. “YOHOHOHOU- HAHAHAHA! CAHAN’T TAHAHAKE- A GODDAMN JOHOHOKE- KKHAHAhehehehe!” Chase laughed rather gleefully considering the implied forcefulness of his laughter. 

“Let me guess…I suck?” Henrik asked with a smirk. 

“WHATDOYOUFUCKIN- THIHIHIHIHIHINK?!” Chase yelled back. 

Henrik raised an eyebrow and dug his fingers in a bit deeper. 

Chase arched his back and screeched, before falling into hysterical cackles. By this point, he was beginning to worry about how long Henrik may tickle him for. So he began attempting to kick Henrik away. 

And one of the kicks actually landed! Henrik yelped as he felt Chase’s foot push him away. But it only took a second for Henrik to grab his ankle and resume his attack. “Zhank you for volunteering your foot to me.” Henrik declared as he tickled up and down the arch and balls of his foot. 

Chase squeaked and squealed, letting out more squeaky laughter not long after. “EEK! NAHAHA! FAHACK- EEEEEHEEEK! PLEHEHEHEEEEEEASE! GAHAHAHA!” Chase laughed. 

But everything halted the moment they heard a creaking door from behind him. Henrik turned around and locked eyes on the person that was standing there. It was Jamie…And he was just staring at them with a shocked facial expression. It was like he walked in on a train wreck and he just couldn’t look away. 

“Vhat? You interested?” Henrik asked. 

But Chase saw it as a chance to escape. He immediately pulled his foot out of Henrik’s grip and scooted himself away. “Jamie HELP!” Chase ran himself behind Jamie and pushed Jamie into Henrik’s path. Jamie put up his hands in an attempt to stop himself, but inevitably smashed right into Henrik, knocking the two of them onto the floor. 

Jamie looked at Henrik with visible nervousness, almost like he knew Henrik was gonna tickle him. When Henrik started to get up, Jamie started scooting away. But Henrik started shoving his fingers into his sides and ribs to tickle him. 

Jamie could feel a wobbly smile growing onto his face. Henrik kept getting him in a few spots, which would normally cause yelps and squeaks. But Jamie was completely silent. Normally, this would be a problem. But with Jamie’s wiggling and visible jumps, Henrik was getting the tickly hints quite clearly. “Do not make me go for your vorst spots.” Henrik warned. 

Jamie squeezed his eyes shut as his grin became toothy. Meanwhile he is desperately trying to tickle Henrik back and escape. But Henrik stopped his attack for a moment and grabbed both his wrists. Jamie widened his eyes and pulled on his wrists, before staring at Henrik with surprise. 

“Vone…” Henrik started counting, bringing his free hand down. 

Jamie threw his head back for a moment, almost like he was squeaking, before shaking his head desperately. 

“Two…” Henrik counted, bringing his right hand down a little bit more. 

Jamie squeezed his eyes shut as his smile widened. It’s a little bit hard to tell if Jamie is giggling in anticipation or not. Either way, Henrik knew he was doing his job as the tickle monster rather well. 

“Three!” Henrik dropped his hand down and dug into his left hip. Jamie threw his head back and audibly wheezed before he shook with newfound laughter. His laughter only came out in mini wheezes, but that didn’t seem to bother Henrik at all. Henrik looked just as happy as ever, to make the dapper boy laugh like this. “Such a ticklish viddle dapper boy.” Henrik teased. 

Jamie shook his head, kicking his feet and pulling on his wrists. Technically with his hands up in front of him, Jamie was still able to sign. So he took advantage of that and started signing words like ‘Help!’, ‘Stop!’ and ‘No!’. 

Though these words would usually worry others, Henrik wasn’t really bothered. The man actually found it cute that Jamie was so talkative despite his hands being out of the way. “I’m sorry, Yamie. But no vone is here to help you.” Henrik told him. 

Jamie wheezed and ended up snorting in response! 

“Oh! Vhat vas zhat?!” Henrik reacted, taken aback. “Vas zhat a snort? Zhat’s so sveet!” Henrik teased. 

Jamie’s eyes had widened in shock at the sound before, but now the teasing was making him develop a soft blush on his face! 

Henrik noticed this right away, and couldn’t help the giggle that left his mouth. “Vell look at zhat…” he stopped tickling and lowered his left hand down. “Is it time for me to stop?” Henrik asked. 

Jamie looked down, still bashful. Henrik quickly took that as a big fat yes. He put Jamie’s hands down, and backed up from him. When Jamie had recovered, Jamie asked Henrik what was going on between him and Chase. 

Henrik chuckled. “Zhe arschloch kept annoying me.” Henrik told him. 

Jamie smirked. ‘Want to tickle Chase together?’ Jamie asked. 

Henrik raised his eyebrows. “Like…a partnership?” Henrik asked. 

Jamie nodded his head and clapped his hands together like a little child. 

Henrik chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. “Sure, vhy not.” 

…And that’s how Chase was utterly obliterated by the evil doctor and his trusty dapper partner. Chase would later put on a GoPro and get revenge on Henrik. After that, he would eventually screenshot the funniest moments and make it into a meme compilation. 

[When someone tickles your neck] 

[When your crush starts talking to you] 

[Henrik trying (and failing) to escape the tickle monster] 

Marvin was showing off his magic tricks to Jamie, who was watching them through a rather critical lens. Everytime Marvin would show him a magic trick, he would tell him exactly what he did to make the magic trick work. Even when Marvin showed him a complicated card trick, Jamie had only smiled and held out his hand to take the card deck. When the card deck was in his hands, Jamie did the exact same magic trick right back to Marvin! Like, perfectly replicated it! 

Marvin chuckled somewhat awkwardly when Jamie visually explained what he had done with the cards. Marvin was originally confused and unsure what to think about Jamie’s perfect replication of his magic tricks. He wanted to get annoyed, but he also thought it would be interesting to have a magician partner alongside him. 

Marvin smirked and decided to test out his knowledge. He pulled out a magician wand, and gave it to Jamie. “Show me what this thing can do.” Marvin told him. 

Jamie smirked and gave the magic wand a whip, revealing the fake flowers that were inside the wand. Marvin nodded with a smile. Jamie removed the flowers from the wand, and gave them to Marvin with a smile. “Thank you.” Marvin replied, taking it. 

Then, Jamie flipped it around and pulled on the white lid. The lid popped off to reveal the rainbow ribbon hidden inside the wand. Marvin raised his eyebrows, showing he was growing impressed. 

Jamie then pulled on the clip that was supposed to hold the flowers, bringing the rainbow ribbon back into the wand through a spinning mechanism inside. Then, Jamie pushed the flowers back into the wand and put the white lid back on. ‘Voila.’ Jamie fingerspelled. 

Marvin laughed as he took the wand back. “Not bad, Jamie.” He admitted. “But can you make things appear in the hat?” Marvin asked him, handing him the hat. 

Jamie nodded his head and took the hat. He used the wand to draw circles, before touching the hat to ‘make the magic happen’. Then, Jamie reached into the hat and grabbed the animal out of the hat. It was a bunny rabbit! A beige bunny with lowered, floppy ears. Jamie smirked and signed the word ‘Voila’ again. Marvin clapped his hands and reached out for the bunny. “Okay, okay. I can take on some competition.” Marvin replied. 

Jamie gave Marvin the bunny before grabbing the wand. He drew a couple circles with the magic wand before touching the hat again to make more magic happen. With the magic finished, Jamie reached into the hat and pulled out a bluebird! Marvin widened his eyes and smiled brightly. “Wait, why is it blue? I usually summon white birds.” Marvin admitted. 

Jamie hummed and put the bluebird onto the table. Then, Jamie put up his index finger to tell Marvin to ‘give him a minute’. He reached into the hat and pulled out…a familiar white bird! Wait…How did- 

“Wait…That’s my bird!” Marvin reacted, watching as the bird flew over to him. Marvin caught the bird and looked at the bluebird. “How did you make the bluebird appear?!” Marvin asked. 

Jamie smirked and signed something while lip-syncing the word. ‘Magic~” Jamie replied. 

“Bullshit. Tell me.” Marvin encouraged. Jamie tightened his lips and shook his head. ‘Not telling.’ Jamie signed. 

“Come on, dude.” Marvin reacted. “At least tell me where you bought the bluebird.” Marvin argued. 

Jamie shook his head. ‘Secret.’ Jamie signed. 

“I’ll make you tell me if you don’t.” Marvin warned. 

Jamie raised an eyebrow. Was he seriously going to ‘punish him’ for not telling a fellow magician his methods? Wow…Low blow, Marvin. ‘Sorry. No can do.’ Jamie signed. 

Marvin giggled and grabbed onto his black cape. He wrapped the one side of it around himself, spinning in a circle before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Jamie’s face changed from confident, to surprised in a matter of seconds. Oh shit…He can make himself disappear?! 

Jamie looked around the room, trying to find Marvin. If he disappeared, he’s bound to reappear somewhere else…right? Jamie got up onto his feet and looked around a little more. The man should reappear in a moment or two. He has to. He can’t stay hidden forever. He had begun backing up slightly to look for Marvin from a little farther away. 

*Squeeze* GAH! WHAT WAS THAT?! Jamie curled into the right, feeling something squeezing his side. Jamie let go of his side, and tried to feel for something…anything! Anything that felt like the Magnificent Marvin. 

*poke* EEP! WHO’S THERE?! Jamie flipped around to find the source of the poke. But no such luck. He was supposedly, completely alone. But Jamie knew better than that. Marvin is playing him. It had to be Marvin! 

Jamie gasped as he felt his sides get grabbed, and squeaked as he felt himself get lifted a couple feet into the air. OH NO! MARVIN LET GO! Jamie started moving himself around right away, struggling and wriggling to get out of his grip. But his wiggles and squirming would change somewhat as he felt squeezes and pokes further into his upper ribs. Oh no! OH NOHO! LEHET ME GO! NAHA! Jamie’s head would fall back as his wheezy laughter filled the room. He could feel rapid squeezes and skitters on his upper ribs, but couldn’t see a hand, let alone a culprit. He squirmed and shook his head, a large wobbly smile filling his face as he wheezed helplessly. It actually felt like the invisible man was tickling him! But Jamie could already tell who this likely was. Marvin had pulled the ‘invisible’ trick on him before. But using it just to tickle him!? What a silly reason to disappear! 

“Kitchy kitchy koo! Are you gonna tell me yet?” A voice, that sounded a lot like Marvin, had asked. 

Jamie shook his head, refusing to admit his secret. 

“Aww, that’s a shame. Looks like more tickles are in order!” Marvin declared to him. Jamie gasped and wheezed again as he felt fingers tickling in his armpits. OH NAAAH! NOT THERE! NOT THERE! Jamie squeaked and lost his balance, falling backwards into the invisible man’s arms. But he yelped again as he felt the hands go away, causing him to fall onto the ground on his back. 

Jamie quickly sat himself up to look around for Marvin. But he couldn’t find him anywhere. But he didn’t need to look around for long…because Jamie’s attention turned to the ticklish drilling into his hips. He bucked his hips in shock and threw his head back, kicking his feet as he yelped and squeaked amidst his wheezy laughter. 

Gosh, why the hips!? Why would he go for the hips?! His hips are way too ticklish for this! Why must Marvin do this to him?! All this just because he’s following a rule every other person follows?! How is this fair?! 

“I love your laugh, man…It’s so cheerful and silly.” Marvin admitted. 

As much as he enjoyed being tickled to oblivion, he wasn’t enjoying not being able to see the person that was tickling him. So, he used his own conjuring magic to conjure up floating, gloved hands. With those made, Jamie snapped his fingers in the middle of his struggle. 

“Ohoho, is that you trying to stop- WaaaAAH! What the- HEY?!” Marvin yelped. 

The tickles had completely stopped, allowing Jamie the chance to recover. He calmed himself down and turned to look at Marvin. Using his hands, Marvin removed his cape hood, revealing Marvin’s head from inside an invisible cape hood. Jamie removed the rest of the cape, and unbuttoned it from Marvin, revealing the rest of his body. 

Marvin grunted and pulled on the floating hands. “Let me go! No fair! Whose hands are these?! Explain yourself!” Marvin ordered pulling on the floating hands.

Jamie shrugged his shoulders in response, before wiggling his fingers at him to hint at his inevitable revenge. ‘Tickle tickle~’  

Marvin widened his eyes in surprise, and began to grow nervous. “U-Uh…” He mumbled. 

Jamie started on Marvin’s neck. He tickled up and down the sides of Marvin’s neck, making sure to tickle the back of his neck a few times too. 

“eeeEEHEHEEK! Jahahamihihieeee nahahahaha!” Marvin giggled, twisting his head left and right. “Ihihihit tihihicklehehes!” Marvin told him. 

Jamie gasped and cupped his own cheeks in false shock. Then, he made his head ‘explode’ with surprise, before going back to tickling Marvin’s neck. 

“NAHAhahaha! Cohohome ohohohon, duhuhude! Ihihi dihihidn’t tihickle you thahahahat bahahad!” Marvin argued, wriggling around. 

Jamie raised an eyebrow as he smirked slightly wider and moved his fingers to his armpits. 

“OHOHOKAHAHAY! HAHAHAHAHAHA! OHOKAHAHAY, MAHAHAYBE IHIHI DIHIHID! IHIHI’M SOHOHOHORRYHY!” Marvin shouted. 

Jamie giggled silently and dug 2 fingers each into his armpits. ‘Coochy coochy coo.’ He thought.

Marvin threw his head back and cackled helplessly, pulling on his arms and legs helplessly. “SOHOHORRY WOHOHON’T CUHUT IHIHIHIT?! SEHEHERIOUSLYHYHYHY?!” Marvin shouted. 

Jamie smiled and shook his head in response, telling Marvin everything he needed to know: Jamie was gonna tickle him regardless of protest. It was really weird being held by unattached arms. Did Jamie’s body hold some sort of magic as well? Or was Jamie capable of more conjuring abilities than he lets on? MARVIN WANTS ANSWERS!!!

Jamie backed up, stopping his attack for a moment. He lifted up his hand and snapped his fingers, showing Marvin things were about to change. 

Marvin’s giggles turned breathless and calm right as he watched the fingers snap. Uh oh…What’s about to happen? Is he gonna change the hands’ positions?! Or are more hands gonna show up? 

In two moments, Marvin would get his answer. Two more hands would suddenly appear in front of him…one hand free to tickle with its fingers, and the other hand holding a bouquet of feathers. 

No, not a feather duster. It was literally a bunch of real feathers, tied together into a ‘bouquet’ using an elastic. It looked terrifyingly ticklish, and it made Marvin lean his head back as skittish giggles left his mouth. “Ohoho gohohod plehehehease nooo.” Marvin giggled. 

Jamie snapped his fingers again…and the hands flew up to him and started tickling him! The hand with the feathers moved to his belly to flutter them there, while the free hand went for Marvin’s armpit and upper ribs. “Nohohoho! Gohohod dammihihihihit! Hahahahahehehee!” Marvin giggled helplessly. But things only grew worse the moment the feather bouquet fluttered into his belly button. “No! NO! NOT THE BEHEHEHELLYYY BUHUHUHAHAHAHA! NAHAHAHAHA! PLEHEHEHEASE NOHOHOHOHOHO! IHIHIT’S SOHOHO BAHAHAHAHAD! GAHAHAHAHAHA! EEEEHEHEHAHAHAHA!” Marvin cackled helplessly, wiggling as much as he was allowed to.

Jamie made an ‘oooooh!’ reaction with his face, showing amusement with this new discovery. Jamie snapped his fingers and made the second hand disappear, so it was just the one hand with the feathers tickling him silly. 

Eventually though, Jamie knew he had to stop so he didn’t kill the man. He made all the floating hands disappear when he felt he got his point across: That Jamie doesn’t tell secrets about his magical abilities. 

And newsflash for Marvin: tickling him while invisible, won’t make him reveal his secrets either. Jamie is just too stubborn to tell such secrets! Even if Marvin and Jamie have similar magical abilities, Jamie will refuse to tell anyone about how he got them…

Septic Sam was flying around the house, searching for people to play with. Amidst his search, he came across an old notebook that determined his first person:

[Jameson Jackson]

Septic Sam flew up to Jamie’s room and pushed the door open. When the door was open, Septic Sam flew up to Jamie and cannon balled into the man’s cereal bowl. Cereal and milk fell out and splashed the bed. On top of that, Jamie had jumped in terror and almost dropped the cereal bowl in his fear! Septic Sam turned around to face the dapper boy and smiled with his one and only eye.

‘......Hello.’ Jamie signed.

Sam flew out of the cereal bowl and nuzzled itself against Jamie’s cheek. Jamie chuckled silently and patted the top of Sam’s head.

‘Cute.’ Jamie signed.

Sam looked down a little and started to blush at the word used. And yes, you saw that right: Septic Sam knows sign language! Sam had taken the time to understand Jameson years ago.

Jamie smiled and brought out his hand for Sam to sit on. Sam looked at the hand, and flew up to it. Sam placed it’s bottom eye down onto the hand, and snuggled into the fingers.

‘Fun?’ Jamie asked.

Septic Sam looked at Jamie and nodded. It was so comfy! Very comfy hand!

Jamie smiled at the cute little septic eye. Suddenly, Jamie got an idea! He took off the bowler hat from his own head, and put the bowler hat onto Septic Sam’s head. Septic Sam blinked curiously, and looked up at Jamie.

Jamie looked like he had the adorable anime eyes going! He looked so overwhelmed with cuteness overload! ‘Cute cute cute cute cute cute cute-’ Jamie kept repeating.

Septic Sam’s single eye widened in surprise. Was he really that cute?! Sam started blushing right away, and started flying around with the hat on its head. Jamie gasped and clapped his hands happily. ‘Cute sam!’ he signed happily.

Sam was nodding its eye and closed its eye as it tilted over and smiled. Jamie patted the top of the hat on Sam’s head, and booped Sam’s tail. If he tried to poke the nose region on the eye, then Sam’s eye would be poked…And NO ONE likes being poked in the eye. No one.

Jamie smirked as he scratched the bottom of the eye. Sam smiled, lowered itself and shook itself right and left repeatedly. It was almost as if Jamie’s scratching finger was tickling Sam…

Curious, Jamie started scratching 4 fingers under Sam’s eye and smiled as Sam closed its eye and started wagging its tail.

‘Ticklish?’ Jamie signed.

Sam widened its eye and quickly took off flying the other way. Jamie, sensing a little game of chase (hehehe…Chase), Jamie took off running after Sam.

This little chase took up at least 10 minutes of their time. Finally, Jamie managed to grab Sam like a basketball and started tickling Sam’s ‘chin’. Sam’s tail was wagging all over again. Sam was shaking itself back and forth as its eye was closed, almost like it was laughing hysterically.

Jamie was smiling happily as he tickled the little green eye.

“Heya Jamie! What are you doing?” Someone asked.

Jamie looked up as he scratched Sam’s chin. ‘Tickling Sam’ he signed with one hand.

“Ooooh…Sam’s ticklish? Don’t think I knew that…” Chase admitted.

Chase curiously started scratching the spot above Sam’s tail. Sam flew up 5 feet, and wagged its tail viciously! Chase bursted out laughing upon seeing Sam’s reaction. “Wohohow! He’s much more ticklish than I thought!” Chase reacted.

Jamie nodded with a silent giggle.

“What about you, Jamie? Are you ticklish by chance?” Chase asked, wiggling his fingers.

Jamie widened his eyes and backed up a good 2 feet. ‘No.’

Chase laughed at that and sprinted to him. “GET OVER HERE!”

Jamie grabbed his head and SCREAMED!

…Well, opened his mouth wide…

-And took off running!

Chase took off after Jamie and chased him for a while. “GET BACK HERE TICKLISH SCUM!” Chase yelled.

Jamie turned around and signed the word ‘no’ in response.

“Is that all you’re gonna say?! Really?” Chase asked.

Jamie shrugged his shoulders as he ran backwards. ‘Yes.’

Chase chuckled and wiggled his fingers as he ran after Jamie.

At one point, another person could be seen ahead! PERFECT! Jamie ran to the person and hid behind them.

The person turned to look at Jamie, revealing who he was: Marvin. “What’s up, Dappy?” Marvin asked.

Jamie pointed to the sprinting Chase.

Marvin yelped and moved out of the way as Chase skidded to a halt. “I’m sorry to bother you, Marvin…But I need Jamie for a minute.” Chase explained.

Marvin hid Jamie with his cape. “What are you planning?” Marvin asked.

“Oh? So you’re gonna hide him from me?” Chase asked.

“Yup! Whatcha gonna do about it?” Marvin teased.

Chase smirked evilly and wiggled his fingers. “Oh nothing…just THIS!”

Chase skittered his fingers all over Marvin’s middle.

“AAHAHAHAHA! CHAHAHASE NOHOHOHO!” Marvin laughed, doubling over and holding his stomach.

Chase snuck his fingers into the crevices of Marvin’s sides. “Tickle tickle tickle!” Chase teased.

“NOHOHO TIHIHICKLIHING!” Marvin laughed, slowly dropping to his knees.

With one last squeeze to the hip, Marvin was down on the ground, laying on his side.

Chase quickly grabbed Jamie and blew a raspberry on his belly. Jamie just fell to the ground, holding his belly.

Chase bursted out laughing at Jamie’s fall and knelt down. “Here comes the tickle monster!” Chase declared, turning into the playful father he once was.

Jamie covered his mouth with both his fists and covered his stomach with his knees and shins. ‘No!’ Jamie signed with one of his hands. ‘No!’

Chase giggled and started tickling Jamie’s dangling feet. “Yes! Yes!” Chase replied.

Jamie threw his arms around and shook his head back and forth wildly as he wiggled his ticklish feet.

Chase chuckled. “Wow! I don’t think I realized you were this ticklish, Jamie!” Chase reacted. Jamie finally seemed to gain control of his hands and used this ability to flip Chase off with both his hands.

Chase gasped. “Did you just flip me off?!” Chase reacted with a gasp. “TWICE?!”

Jamie bursted out giggling at Chase’s reaction, before nodding his head and flipping him off again.

Chase smirked and wiggled his fingers evilly. “Ohoho, you naughty, naughty boy~” Chase teased.

Jamie widened his eyes. If his voice box worked, he probably would’ve squeaked in fear!

Chase ran up to Jamie with his wiggly fingers up and ready to tickle. “I’m gonna getcha getcha getcha!” Chase declared, lowering his hands down lower and lower to Jamie’s sides and belly.

Jamie covered his eyes, and had a huge nervous grin on his face. He was anticipating the tickles to be coming any moment!

Finally, the hands touched down and started skittering, tapping and squeezing. “Gitchy gitchy gitchy gitchy goo!” Chase teased.

Jamie uncovered his eyes, threw his hands out beside him, and arched his back. His back plopped onto the soft carpet and Jamie’s belly started bouncing up and down from the laughter. He had a huge, toothy grin all over his face too! It was adorable to watch!

“Awww, enjoying yourself, dapper lee?” Chase teased.

Jamie opened his eyes for only a moment to look down at his belly. Just as his eyes fell on the tickled belly, Jamie closed his eyes again, threw his head back and shook his head everywhere. With his hands, Jamie started to shakily sign ‘stop’ and ‘no’!

“No?! But why would I stop when you’re enjoying it so much?” Chase asked.

Jamie covered his mouth as more silent giggles left his mouth. His belly was still bouncing from all the laughter that was kind of leaving his lungs.

Chase moved his hands off of him and lifted Jamie’s white collared shirt up a bit. Chase gazed at Jamie’s outie of a belly button, and rubbed his hands together. “Ooooh! I’m so excited!” Chase declared.

Jamie looked down at his exposed belly and gasped in horror! NOT THE BELLY BUTTON! Jamie tried to cover up his belly button with his hands. ‘No!’ Jamie signed quickly as he covered his belly button up with his other hand.

Chase placed his hands on his own hips. “And why not?” Chase asked.

Jamie huffed silently and covered up his belly button with both his hands. With one stubborn shake of the head, Jamie was stopping Chase in his tracks.

…Or so he thought.

Chase smirked and moved his hands around Jamie’s middle. “Hmmmm…I suppose I’ll have to go…” Chase quickly moved his hands to Jamie’s neck and started tickling. “-For the neck!” Chase declared.

Almost right on cue, Jamie curled his neck in and pulled his hands up to his own chest with his hands in fists. He was tensed all up from the neck to his toes! It was adorable to watch!

But he wasn’t just tickling Jamie’s neck for nothing…Oh no…

Chase tickled his neck so Jamie’s hands would instinctively move away from his belly button! With his hands away from the belly button, Chase quickly poked and swirled his pinky finger into Jamie’s belly button.

Jamie’s face changed from a blushy grin, to a shocked, horrified look with a slight wobbly smile in the mix! Jamie tried to push Chase’s hands away, but to no avail.

Chase kept on tickling his belly button for a while longer. Jamie was wiggling around, giggling silently into his hand, and kicking his feet wildly. Jamie was showing a huge grin on his face as well! And his bowler hat was half off his head at this point.

Chase finally stopped tickling Jamie and put his shirt down over his belly. Jamie was a blushing, slightly red mess of silent chuckles and giggles. He looked around for Septic Sam as Chase helped him up onto his feet.

‘Where did Sam go?’ Jamie asked, making a circle with his hands and putting his eye in the middle to represent ‘Sam’.

Chase looked around. “That’s a good question! Did we scare him off?” Chase asked.

Jamie shrugged his shoulders as he looked around. But then…muffled laughter started to fill both of their ears. Chase and Jamie looked at each other to confirm they were hearing the same thing. When they figured out they were, Chase and Jamie looked around for the sound of the laughter.

Soon, Chase and Jamie found the location! And it was the funniest thing:

Marvin was laughing into his hands as something round was moving around inside his blue shirt. Chase giggled a little bit as Jamie smirked and walked up to Marvin. Jamie lifted up Marvin’s blue shirt, and saw a bunch of green:

It was Septic Sam!

Septic Sam flew out of Marvin’s shirt and snuggled into Jamie’s neck with its eye closed and its tail wagging.

Chase was feeling down. This christmas season had been downright depressing for Chase. So many changes, so many antidepressants that just didn’t work…It was horrible. Chase tried his best to stay away from alcohol, but there were times Chase would take a swig of whiskey to make the pain go away. Chase felt like Charlie Brown this year. Chase truly had the Christmas blues. This Christmas was not gonna be as cheerful as past years could be.

Chase thought back to the years that he spent with his kids on christmas. The excitement on their faces that came with knowing “Santa was here!” “Santa gave them gifts!”. It gave him a reason to live that year. But now those days are long gone. His ex-wife refuses to let him see his kids until he sobers up and pulls himself together. But…that’s easier said than done. Especially when you’re depressed.

Chase sighed and hid his face in his hands in shame. He has no more excuses. He’s failed his kids. He failed his wife too. He failed himself…He began to believe that the world would be better without him. That…it would be easier if he were dead. Forgotten. Thrown out like the piece of garbage that he was. Perhaps he would be less of a burden on his ex-wife and his kids. Perhaps they would be happier with him dying a good memory than to live long enough to witness your children seeing you like this. Nothing felt more tempting than ending his life right now. It gave him a sense of calm…something to look forward to.

Chase was quickly kicked out of his thoughts by a hand on his chest. Chase jumped and looked over to the person the hand belonged to. As it would turn out, that person revealed himself to be Jamie. “Hi Jamie…” Chase greeted with a small, faked smile. But the moment Chase looked away, he dropped his smile and sighed.

Jamie waved his hand in front of Chase’s field of view, and started signing. ‘What’s wrong?’

Chase lowered Jamie’s hand and looked down. “I’m fine.” Chase said as he signed the words at the same time.

Jamie frowned and gently grabbed Chase’s chin. He moved his hand towards Chase’s cheek and gently turned the head towards himself. Chase looked into Jamie’s eyes for only a split second…before Chase pushed his hand away from his cheek.

Jamie stood in front of Chase’s field of view. ‘Please don’t lie to me.’ Jamie signed.

Chase lowered his eyebrows in slight anger. “Don’t tell me what to do.”

Jamie bit his lip and looked down, trying not to cry. ‘I know you miss them…’ Jamie signed. Chase’s eyes softened as he struggled to stop the tears that left his eyes. He really did miss them. He missed them terribly. He missed them so much, he could die.

Jamie gently pulled Chase into a side hug. It didn’t take long for that side hug to turn into a full-on bear hug. Chase hugged Jamie back and slowly started to sob and cry into his arms. Jamie rubbed his back as he let the man cry. It was hard seeing Chase like this…seeing Chase so emotional. But, Jamie was usually the emotional one of the duo. So this change of pace was rare.

“I miss them so much…I don’t want them to know how much I’ve suffered.” Chase admitted. Jamie rubbed his back calmly. ‘I know…’ He signed.

Chase looked at him. ‘Children know when you’re lying.’ Chase signed to his friend. “I’m broken.” Chase said.

Jamie rubbed his shoulder. ‘You’re not alone.’ He signed to him.

Chase tsked at that. “I’m not…I’m just one of billions of failed fathers in this world. What a fuckin’ achievement.” Chase spat.

Jamie shook his head. ‘Don’t say that.’ He signed. ‘Your kids understand you need help.’

Chase looked at Jamie.

‘One step at a time.’ Jamie signed slowly.

Chase looked down. ‘One step…at a time.’ He signed back.

Jamie looked at Chase with a smile on his hopeful little face. ‘Do you want someone to cheer you up?’ Jamie asked.

Chase tilted his head. “What do you mean?”

Jamie leaned in and signed the following with a smirk on his face:

‘I heard from a special someone…that laughter is the best medicine.’

Chase looked at Jamie with a confused face and stared at him. Then, he looked down at Jamie’s hands. Jamie’s hands were wiggling…almost as if he wanted to tickle someone.

Wait…

Chase quickly got up. “Nooooo…Don’t even think about it!” Chase warned.

Jamie giggled silently and took off running towards the man. Chase shrieked and ran the other way, sprinting as fast as possible from the evil, mon-verbal tickle monster. Chase would occasionally look behind him, to see how far or close he was. But each and everytime, Chase was yelp as he noticed Jamie signing the word ‘tickle’ over and over again.

“JAMIE! THINK OF WHAT YOU’RE DOING!” Chase yelled.

Chase looked behind him and gulped: Jamie was signing ‘No’ with his hand. Then, his hands switched back to ‘tickle tickle tickle’ all over again. It didn't’ take long at all, for Chase to be captured by that evil tickle monster…and for the tickling to begin.

“AAAahahahahahaha! Jahahahahamihihihie!” Chase giggled as his armpits were being attacked. Jamie drew a finger down his own cheek as a ‘so sad’ kinda sign, and resumed tickling his armpits. “YOHOHOU’RE SOHOHO WEIHIHIHIRD!” Chase yelled. Jamie gasped and placed a hand onto his own chest in genuine offense. How DARE he call him weird! SO RUDE!

Jamie moved his hands over to his sides and squeezed them. Then, Jamie started drawing letters on Chase’s belly.

T-I-C-K-L-E

T-I-C-K-L-E

T-I-C-K-L-E

“NOHOHOHOHO STAHAHAHAP SPEHEHELLIHIHING THAHAHAT WOHOHORD!”

Jamie giggled silently and just kept going.

N-O

T-I-C-K-L-E

T-I-C-K-L-E

T-I-C-K-L-E

T-I-C-K-L-E

T-I-C-K-L-E

T-I-C-K-L-E

Chase squealed and blushed heavily as his belly was quickly spidered all over.

“EEEHEHEHEHEHEHE! NAHAHAHAHAHA!” Chase laughed. Jamie smiled and leaned forward to do something EXTRA evil:

“PPHHHBBBFFFBFBFBFBFBFBBBFFFBBFB!”

“YAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Chase screamed and cackled loudly.

Then, Jamie spelled something new while squeezing one of his sides:

M-E-R-R-Y

C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S

Chase giggled and pulled Jamie into a big bear hug. “Merry Christmas, ya goof!”

Jamie laughed silently and wiggled his mustache. Chase laughed at the mustache wiggle, and booped his nose.

Jamie gasped, covered his nose and made a fake scowl. ‘Roar’

Chase laughed and curled his fingers into a claw. “Rawr~”

Chase’s smile started to drop though…His sadness started to set in once again. The world started to hurt again. Jamie noticed this change of expression and grabbed his hand.

‘One step at a time.’ He signed.

Chase looked at him with his hurt frown and slowly got himself up. “Wanna watch a movie?”

Jamie nodded his head and grabbed the DVD’s from the cupboard. ‘What do you wanna watch?’

Chase grabbed a certain DVD with a certain elf on it. “How about this one?” Chase asked. The movie went as planned. Buddy the Elf moved to New York, introduced himself to his Dad, covered the place in Christmas lights, and moved into their home. Then, Buddy tried to get his Dad to tuck him into bed. When he tried to, Buddy started tickling him and yelling “Tickle fight! Tickle fight! Tickle fight!”.

Jamie looked at Chase with an evil grin and started sneaking little squeezes into Chase’s side. “Hehehehehey! Cohohome ohohon, mahahan!” Chase giggled. ‘Have some christmas cheer.’ Jamie signed. Chase lightly tackled Jamie onto the couch and tickled his sides. “How about YOU have some Christmas spirit, huh?” Chase spoke. Jamie snorted and covered his mouth as he shook in place. “Kitchy kitchy koo, my ticklish tickle monster!” Chase teased.

Jamie’s face went red almost immediately. It was so unfair. But, it was still funny to him. “Hey Jamie! Close your eyes.” Chase told him. Jamie closed his eyes with a big grin on his face. Chase leaned in…and…

“PHHBBFBFBFBBFBBFBFBFFFBBFBFBFB!”

Jamie’s face exploded with surprise as he threw his head back with silent laughter and cackles. Jamie was signing the word ‘stop’ while he laughed and wiggled around all over the place. “Gotcha~” Chase teased. Jamie pushed him off and tackled Chase down. Now Jamie was on top of Chase!

“You ready for a good ol’ fashioned tickle fight?”

Jamie smirked. ‘Bring it on.’

And the tickle fight was on! Jamie and Chase tickle fought each other for a long while. Though, it didn’t take long for Chase and Jamie to be laying on the ground, huffing and giggling their heads off.

Jamie was working with Marvin on a special potion. Jamie was the one who helped him provide the herbs, and the person who helped put the items in while Marvin read out the list of ingredients.

“Okay. Ready?” Marvin asked.

Jamie nodded, giving him a thumbs up.

“Alright. Water is already to a boil. Add 10 ginger slices and ⅛ of a teaspoon of Wartcap Powder into the pot, and stir counter-clockwise for 5 minutes.

Jamie followed the instructions before he grabbed the spoon and started mixing.

[1 minute]

[2 minutes]

[3 minutes]

[4 minutes]

“Alright! Times up!” Marvin told Jamie. Jamie stopped stirring and put the spoon down. He readied himself for the new instructions.

“Add 5 chicken feathers and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper into the pot and stir clockwise for 2 minutes.” Marvin read.

Jamie followed the instructions and stirred with the spoon again.

[1 minute]

“Alright. That’s it.” Marvin told him.

Jamie put the spoon back on the shelf and waited for Marvin’s further instructions.

“Remove from fire and and stir clockwise for 3 minutes.

Jamie followed the instructions: He blew out the fire, lifted the pot over to a table, and stirred the pot.

[1 minute]

[2 minutes]

“Alright. And: let it cool before bottling. Easy!” Marvin declared.

Jamie smiled proudly and clapped his hands.

“And you are now officially a witch.” Marvin added.

Jamie gasped and showed him the sign for witch. The sign for Witch was a curved index finger placed onto the nose to show the evil wretched nose of the witches.

Marvin laughed at that and patted his back.

The moment the solution was bottled, Jamie pointed to himself.

“Sure!” Marvin replied, understanding his question.

Jamie placed a droplet of the potion onto his neck, and waited…

Quickly, a ticklish sensation started to fill the spot on his neck, and started tickling him. Jamie wheezed and held the spot as he started silently laughing.

“Well what do ya know: It works!” Marvin declared. “Unless that’s you faking it.”

Jamie quickly shoved the potion into Marvin’s hands as the ticklish sensation overtook him. Marvin held onto the potion and watched in awe as Jamie hopped around and shook his head rapidly.

“Wow...I Guess it does work!” Marvin reacted.

Jamie nodded his head quickly as the tickling continued to plague him. A while later, the tickling seemed to subside slowly. By then, an hour had gone by of pure laughter. And that was from a single drop!

“Wow...I think we should be careful with this stuff.” Marvin told him.

Jamie nodded in full agreement.

[Later:]

Jamie and Marvin walked up to Chase and showed him the potion. “It’s harmless, we promise.” Marvin told him.

“Harmless? How harmless?” Chase asked.

Marvin giggled. “100% harmless.” Marvin promised.

Jamie walked to Chase and pointed to himself and his own neck. ‘I tried! Potion fun!’ Jamie signed, pointing to the potion.

Chase trusted Jamie’s judgement. “Alright. Put ‘er on.” Chase offered up his hand. Marvin placed the potion onto his hand and waited for it to take effect.

“Am I suhuposed to feheheheheel- Gihihihihigglyhyhyhyhy?! HAHahahahahahaha!” Chase started laughing.

“See? Harmless!” Marvin declared.

“HAhahahahahaha! Hahahaharmlehehehess, buhuhuhut nohohohot ihihinnocehehehent!” Chase mentioned.

“Well you didn’t use the word innocent, now did you?” Marvin teased.

“IHIHI DIHIHIDN’T KNOHOHOHOW!” Chase yelled.

“Wow...McLoud over here.” Marvin joked.

“SHUHUHUHUT UHUHUHUP!” Chase yelled to him.

“Naaaah…” Marvin replied.

Jamie had whipped out a video camera and was recording all of it.

“PUHUHUHUHUT THAHAHAHAHAT DOHOHOHOHOWN!” Chase ordered.

Jamie shook his head and continued to record. ‘Fun!’ Jamie signed.

“HOHOHOW IHIHIS MYHYHY HAHAHAHAND SOHOHOHO TIHIHIHICKLIHIHIHISH?!” Chase asked.

“I don’t know, my buddy.” Marvin replied.

Some minutes later, the tickling subsided. Jamie put the camera down, and got Marvin’s attention: ‘One hour’ he signed.

Marvin smiled. “Awesome! This thing is amazing!” Marvin declared.

Chase was a giggly mess from the phantom tickles.

[A little while later:]

Jamie and Marvin walked up to Henrik and snuck into his office. Jamie, with his geniusly quiet ways, walked up to Henrik and placed a drop of the stuff down Henrik’s shirt.

“Vhat zhe-” Henrik reacted. “Who’s zhere?” Henrik asked.

Jamie giggled silently and snuck out with no trouble. The tickling began to take effect the moment the boys wer outside the door.

“Ahahahaha...wWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! EEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!” Henrik laughed crazily, nearly falling backwards in his chair.

Marvin and Jamie giggled to each other as they heard the loud, german laughter fill the room.

“NEHEHEHEIN HAHAHAHAHAHALT DAHAHAHAHAS KLIHIHIZEHEHELT!” Henrik laughed.

Marvin giggled. “That means ‘No stop that tickles’.” Marvin told him.

Jamie laughed as Marvin continued to translate his words.

“That is ‘quit it’ in german.”

“I think that’s ‘why why why why?!’.”

“You know what that means.”

Jamie was loving this! It was so fun to be able to play around with people. For the next person, Jamie knew exactly who to go to!

‘S-h-a-w-n F-l-y-n-n’ Jamie signed.

“You fuckin’ genius! Let’s go!”

And so Marvin and Jamie left Henrik to laugh his head off for another 45 minutes in his office.

[At Shawn’s room]

Marvin snuck into the room and noticed that he had music playing in his radio. That seemed to help keep him from not hearing them come in.

So, Jamie did his thing. He walked over to Shawn, opened his sock and placed a drop of the potion in. The potion ran down the foot.

“What the feck are ya doin’?!” Someone spoke.

Jamie jumped and scooted backwards.

“Are ya pullin’ some prank on me?!” Shawn asked. “Ya’d better think twice before ya try ta prahahank mehehe- Wahahahait whahahahahahat?!” Shawn started to giggle as the ticklish feeling started to fill his foot. “Ohohohoho nohohohoho!”

Jamie’s fear quickly turned into a smile. No need to worry now. The potion is just working! Shawn lifted his foot up and tried to scratch the feeling away. But the ticklish feeling only spread to more of his feet!

“NONONONOOOHOHOHOHOHO!” Shawn begged. “WHYHYHYHY IHIHIHIS THIHIHIS HAHAHAHAPPEHEHEHENIHIHING?!” Shawn asked.

“Simple:” Marvin showed him the bottle. “Tickle potion.”

Shawn continued to laugh. He didn’t believe him...But then he remembered that he was kinda laughing his head off on the spot for no reason. So...Maybe he was starting to believe him.

“TIHIHIHICKLE POHOHOHOTION?! AHAHAHAS IHIHIHIN...POHOHOHOTIONS AHAHARE REHEHEHEAL?” Shawn asked.

Jamie nodded and signed the words ‘I witch!’.

Shawn fell onto the ground and started to pound his fists into the ground.

“Oh yeah! And little warning: You’re gonna be like this for 50 more minutes. It lasts for an hour.” Marvin told him.

“WHAHAHAHAHAT?!” Shawn shouted.

“Yeeeaaah...Sorry Shawn! You gotta laugh more!” Marvin told him.

“THIHIHIHIHIS IHIHIHIS SOHOHOHO MUHUHUHUHUCH!” Shawn complained.

“I know, I know. But still…” Marvin told him.

Jamie sat down beside Shawn and watched him up close as he laughed.

“STAHAHAHAP GIHIHIVIHIHING MEHEHEHE THAHAHAT GRIHIHIHIHIN!” Shawn ordered.

Jamie shook his head. ‘You cute’.

Shawn blushed at that. “AHAHAHAHAHAM NAHAHAHAT!” He reacted.

Jamie giggled and poked his belly button. ‘You cute.’

Shawn winded up somehow surviving the hour and was a giggly mess on the floor. After Jamie and Marvin walked to Henrik’s room, where Henrik was also a giddy mess of giggles. Marvin opened the door and smiled. “Feeling alright Mr. Giggles?” Marvin asked.

Henrik turned to him with a smirk on his face. “Laúf.”

And Marvin didn’t wait another second! He was off like the flash.
