Merry Christmas Tickle Community!
‘Twas a time before Christmas, and all to and fro. No one was stirring, except for Astro.
Now Astro did his best, so the others slept safely. And yet, someone’s not been quite themself lately.
As so the moon, with his dreamland tricks. Will help the ornament, to bring her cheer back quick.
…
Bobette snapped awake with a sudden jolt. She sighed, having seemingly fallen asleep at her workshop desk, illuminated by only a lamp that sat on it. Alas, it appeared the nap was short-lived.
The ornament yawned as she went to grab the list, it was quite long, long enough to droop onto the floor, and then someone.
To her surprise, the hand came up empty. No list in sight. She then peered under the table, assuming she had dropped it.
Strangely enough, still no list to be found. The ornament scratched her head, surely she couldn’t have misplaced it! It was right on the table, she was sure of it.
In the midst of her confusion, something would slink from the shadows, it's victim none the wiser.
Before Bobette could move an inch, the figured pounced from behind, wrapping it's long body around her. From the legs to the neck wrapped long paper.
"Ngh-L-Let me go!"
Bobette swayed and squirmed in a feeble attempt to escape, which only became more frantic upon realizing what exactly was coiling around her.
The list, which she had been looking for, was actually looking for HER. It was constricting, almost suffocating...just like what came with all the words written on it.
In her panicked state, the ornament could hear the faint voices of the other Christmas Toons. Ginger...Rudie...Coal.
"I said, LET ME GO!" The ornament attempted to pull a hand out to escape, but the list's was too tight to allow even a twitch of a finger.
While Bobette usually wasn't one to go down without a fight, it was clear to her how truly powerless she was in this nightmare of a scenario.
Another voice rang in her ear, one that was clearer than the others...
"...What if we can give out TWICE as many gifts this year! Imagine all of the children's happy faces!"
The ornament tried to do so, but all that could come to her head was the loneliness she felt, the weight of everything on her shoulders, the distant calls of her friends asking, nay, begging her to step away from the desk for a while...
"H-HELP ME! PLEASE!" she cried out, as it was the only thing she could do beyond shutting her eyes and wishing it would all stop, which she did just so.
And yet she would shortly open them again, at the sound of...someone singing?
"Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright..."
The serpentine list's "head" perked up at the sound, as Bobette could feel it's grip mercifully loosen around her. Staring off as if suddenly put under a trance.
"...Round yon ornament, sweet winter child
Yuletide daughter so tender and mild..."
As if taken by a trance, the list mindlessly released Bobette from it's constricting binds and slithered away into the darkness. Where a crack of blue light emerged, as if someone was opening a door just a peek.
"...Sleep in heavenly peace..."
Out of curiosity, the ornament would follow the slithering list into the light, opening the door to a peculiar, yet comforting sight.
The list was slinking into a cornflower box, not unlike Christmas lights being stored away for the next year.
"...Sleep in heavenly peace..."
With the last of the list in the box, a lid sealed it shut, and an indigo ribbon finished the job. And finished it off it would, as the box then burst into blue stardust.
With the list gone. Bobette’s eyes laid upon her savior: Astro, sitting on a cozy chair made of lavender clouds. As well as wearing a dark blue robe with white fur trim and snowflake patterns.
"Oh! Astro, it's you!"
"Come, you may rest on my lap" Astro beckoned with a finger made of stardust.
Slowly but surely did the ornament approach the moon, and sat herself upon his lap.
"Wait...if you're here, then that means-"
Astro nodded "Indeed, this is a dream." he placed a starry hand on Bobette's back "And what a frightening dream you were having..."
"...Is there anything you'd like to talk about?"
Bobette hesitated, before nervously chuckling.
"Oh no! I-I'm good. No trouble to be found with me!"
"Are you sure? If I'm not mistaken, you been quite wrapped up in your work." he chuckled, just a bit "Quite literally in this case."
Bobette hesitated again.
"Ah come on Astro, you know how important it is to the holiday. It wouldn't be the same without it!" Bobette was still trying to play it off.
"Yes but..." Astro placed another hand on her chest "It wouldn't be the same without yourself either.
"Tell me, when was the last time you've gotten together with the others?"
"Well..." Alas, that memory was fuzzy in the ornament's mind.
"Oh dear..." Seems like it was true "Presents are fantastic...but Christmas should be so much more than that." Bobette looked away solemnly.
"It's not your fault." Of course it wasn't, there were others who imprinted that idea into her. "Experiences are just as great gifts as any toy, perhaps even greater."
"But...But presents are what make Christmas perfect!"
"It does not need to be "perfect". You do not need to be perfect." He looked at the ornament serenely "You being here and spreading joy already makes Christmas so wonderful."
"If you wish to make gifts for others, do it from the heart, not for a quota."
"And speaking of gifts..." Right on cue, Astro brought in a box with his magic. One wrapped in blue starry paper and a cyan ribbon.
"I think it's about time someone gave you one~"
Excitedly, Bobette tore through the paper and opened the lid. To be met with a cloud of stardust which engulfed her body, but was thankfully not irritating enough to cause coughing or temporary blindness.
Before she could ask what was that all about, the ornament found herself clutching her body in a fit of laughter.
"EeheheHAHAAHA AHA-stro What d-HEHEHE-id you get MEHEHEHE?!"
"Why, the gift of giggles of course~" Astro had the silliest smile on his face, almost laughing alongside her.
But Astro wasn't content with just letting the dust do all the work. No, he placed a hand on and rubbed and Bobette's soft belly.
"EEP! HAHAHAHAHA-"
"Awww, it seems your belly full of cheer is quite sensitive~", what a teaser.
"H-how long Wi-HEHEHEHE-il this L-AHAHAHAHST?!" Despite the question, Bobette was in no rush to stop her chortling. She had a high tolerance for this kind of thing, and she definitely need a good laugh at that point.
"Oh just for a little bit, about a minute or so." Just then a little thought came to his head, a very merry thought.
"In fact, I think it'll give me just about time to sing a little carol~"
Bobette gulped, as best as she could, for she had a feeling of what was gonna come next. Of course, thanks to the dust, Astro did not have to lift many fingers. He just had to clear his throat and continue rubbing on the ornaments tummy.
"Dashing through the snow
As we smile and sing all day
O'er fields we go
Laughing all the way...!"
"HAHA!" Bobette's giggles provided the perfect backing vocals, interjecting the lyrics with the very laughing mentioned in the song.
"...With all this "caroling"
It won't be a silent night
Oh what fun it is to ride and sing
A ticklish song tonight...!"
"HEHE!"
"...Oh! Giggle bells, giggle bells
Giggling all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
And laugh and sing all day!"
"HEHEH-HEY!"
"...Oh! Giggle bells, giggle bells
Giggling all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
And laugh and sing all day!"
And with the song wrapped up, Bobette's giggles faded into chuckles full of jolly cheer. She scooted off of Astro's lap as Astro stood up from his chair and approached the door the ornament came in from.
"I must get get going, but until next time..." He turned back to wink at the ornament.
"Sweet dreams, and Merry Christmas~"
The last thing Bobette saw of Astro, through the window was him soaring across the night sky of a sleigh of stardust.
And the next thing she saw? The other Christmas Toons walking in with gifts and goodies, to celebrate their holly jolly holiday.
"Tis a season to be jolly, not a season to be gloomy!"

this is my first dsw tickle fic. gulp.
ig this is before ichor operation
miaauuuuwwww (contains body shamin ,, whuwps)
"You're so fat!"
"Mummy, why is she so big?"
"So round.."
"She's so large!"
All those words. All those things said to her. They were children, yes, but why is she the target here? Isn't Dandy also chubby? Has she been eating too much? Is she too large? Does her weight make her ugly?
Is she even beautiful to begin with?
All those thoughts swarmed in her mind like hornets as she sat on the carpet floor; the cheerful voices of the children drowned out by her own insecurity. She was large, true, but they could've.. said it more nicely?
A single tear rolled down her cheek.
Then another
And another..
Until she began to break down on the red and green carpet.
It didn't take long until the lone paleontologist noticed her sulking on the floor. Without any hesitation, Shelly rushed towards the holiday main feeling concerned for her
"Bobette? What's wrong?" She inquired, wiping a tear off her face
"I'm fine, Shelly! Thanks for your concern though" She lied through her teeth, gently nudging the ammonite's hand away
She wasnt fine.
"Are you sure?" Shelly tilted her head, gently caressing the gift giver's cheek with her left hand. She knew how to tell when someone wasn't alright; she had her fair share of comforting and supporting toons after all
Bobette sniffled, wiping her eyes once more
"You got me .. It's just the comments that I had gotten regarding my weight. They say I'm "too fat" or "big" and all of that junk."
"Awh.." Shelly empathized with her. Kids can be cruel. Even though they mostly didnt mean it, the words still sting like a spider's bite
"Actually," The ammonite leaned much closer to the bauble, her arms wrapping around her waist into a warm embrace "I like your body!"
"You.. You do?" Bobette perked up as she reciprocated the hug
She flinched when she felt small fingers softly press into her sides
"Yes I do!!" She answered will her usual enthusiasm "And pluuusss,," She squeezed more intentionally now, earning a small giggle from the holiday main "Your body is so squishy! How could anyone hate that?"
"Ehehah- Sheheh- Shehelly! Your hahands-"
"Are what? Tickling you? That's the point, silly!" She teased, drumming her fingers against her sides a bit more faster now
"Ehehehah- hehe- oh my gohoodness- ahaha!" She chortled but didnt make any effort to stop Shelly. If anything, she appreciated the cheerup tickles that she was giving
She hummed as she continued to knead her belly ,, then had an idea
As soon as Bobette heard her make a deep breath, she knew what was coming
