Captain Man and Kid Danger were hiding in The Toddlers secret hideout, trying to think of a plan of attack. “Ok, we need to think of a plan of attack.” Henry said.
Ray and Henry had been tipped off about The Toddler’s evil weapon he was building, and came to stop him.
“Ok, you go right to destroy the machine, while I go left to distract The Toddler.” Ray thought. Henry nodded.
With that they in acted their plan. Ray went left to confront The Toddler, while Henry went right to destroy the machine.
“Hello Toddler! Your evil plan is over.” The Toddler turned to face Captain Man. “Oh~ what a pleasure to see you… Captain Man!” He put a lot of sass on that last word. “But I’m afraid you and your little sidekick are too late!”
He said, as he acknowledged Kid Danger sneaking up behind the machine. Henry gave a nervous smile and backed away, as he walked over to Captain Man to fight The Toddler.
“What is that thing anyway, Todd!” Captain Man questioned. “Well, it’s a machine that when it hits you, you become paralyzed! So if I were to hit this liiiittle button right here…” he trailed off as he walked over to the machine and hit the button. Blasting Kid Danger.
“Kid! Look out!” Kid Danger flinched but he didn’t have his super fast reflexes, so he got hit with the paralyzing machine. Henry fell to the floor, as Ray looked up at The Toddler with ‘oh, you shouldn’t have done that…’ written all over his face.
The Toddler laughed maniacally, as Captain Man charged at him and swung. The Toddler ducked and blocked. He then called in his goons and had them fight Captain Man, while Todd readied up his machine for round two.
“You won’t get…. Away with this…. Toddler!” Captain Man said panting. “Oh I think I already have!” Captain Man looked over at The Toddler as he pointed the machine at him. One of his goons came over to it though.
“Oooh! Shiny! What’s it do??” The goon said as he pressed a big red button on the machine. “No, you idiot! You just activated self destruct!” The Toddler got out his spitting device and used it on the goon, who groaned and whimpered away.
The timer had a 20 second count down. So far it was at 10, as it went down more The Toddler ran away from it and Captain Man braced himself for the blow.
It exploded and The Toddler whined as it started melting away. “HA! Your evil plan has been foiled Todd!” He walked over to The Toddler to gloat some more.
“Dang it! It was gunna be so fun too…” he whined. “Say, were you gunna use that to paralyze me and the kid to beat us up?” Ray asked. “Beat you up? No… I was gunna tickle you til you surrendered!” Captain Man looked at The Toddler in utter confusion.
“Did you just say you were gunna… tickle us?” He said in pure befuddlement. “Yeah! Haven’t you ever heard of tickle torture? It was a form of torture in the medieval times.” He stated.
“So… you were never gunna hurt us?” Kid Danger said, still paralyzed. “Oh. I was… I was gunna watch you slowly die from lack of oxygen.” He said, in his low twisted voice.
“HA! That wouldn’t even have worked. Cause I’m indestructible and the kid isn’t ticklish. Right kid!” Ray called out. “Kid?” He looked at Henry and he was laying on the floor looking everywhere but at Ray.
“Kid, you’re not ticklish… right?” Captain Man stalked over to Kid Danger with a small smirk tugging at his lips. “No… I’m not ticklish. That’d be ridiculous…” He said with a nervous laugh.
“Oh… looks like Captain Man’s little buddy isn’t telling him something…” The Toddler said, now curious of what’s about to happen.
“Yes I am! I’m telling the truth. I’m not ticklish…” he pressed. Ray wasn’t believing him for a second. “Then what do you call what happened when you were in the virtual reality tank? Hm? I thought you said you almost peed yourself from the zombies tickling you?” He said sarcastically.
“Please, don’t remind me…. But I am telling you the truth, I swear!” Henry struggled to move the closer Ray got, but every time he did he was reminded of the fact that he can’t move. “Why are you trying to move? You know you can’t. Unless you’re not telling me something…” he then squatted next to Henry and looked him up and down.
“I- I know I can’t… but… please just listen to me! We can talk about this!” He nervous laughed. “Why’re you trying to negotiate your way out of this?? I thought you weren’t ticklish, so what’s the big dill pickle?” Ray sarted wiggling his fingers over Henry’s stomach and lowering his hands slowly.
Henry’s nervous laughter turned to nervous giggles. “Are you sure you’re not ticklish? Cause you’re making some awfully cute noises for someone who isn’t ticklish~” Henry’s face got a bit pink at that. “Theyhehe aren’t cute noisehes!” He said through his anticipatory breathy giggles.
“Are you sure??” Ray said as he lowered his hands and squeezed Henry’s sides. Henry tried to hold in his giggles as he closed his eyes and squeezed his mouth shut to stop his reactions as well, but it couldn’t hide his growing smile. Ray noticed his efforts and his smile.
“Oh come on, kid. Let loose! Laugh! I know you want to.” He started poking his stomach, sides and ribs. Henry was finding it harder to hold it in. He was only paralyzed from the neck down, so he could still move his head. Ray noticed his efforts to protect his neck and went with it.
“Do you happen to have a ticklish neck, kid? That is the most precious thing…” he started scribbling his fingers in Henry’s neck and the dam broke. He started giggling. But not high pitched giggles, these were still at his normal register of laugh. But it was still adorable.
“Captain Mahahan! Whyehehe here! Hehehe!” The Toddler had now made popcorn and was enjoying the show. “Cause, I dunno about you but it looks like Todd is enjoying this. Plus it’s adorable!” Henry’s face got pinker and he refused to look at Ray.
“It’s noahahat adorable! Hahaheheha!” He tried through his laughter. Ray got a genuine smile from seeing how happy Henry looked. “Either way, it looks like you’re having as much fun as I am.” he claimed.
“Whahahat! Nooo! No ihehe don’t!” He protested. “Think about it. You haven’t said for me to stop at all, and you don’t look like you’re not enjoying yourself.” Ray touched a certain spot behind Henry’s ear that made him squeak and try to cover as much of his ear as possible.
“That’s a double negative.” The Toddler said. “Wrong episode!” Henry and Ray said, before Ray scratched at that one spot behind his ears making Henry fall into sqeaky voice cracking giggles.
“Oh my god! How did I not know about this before?! This is amazing!” Ray said beaming, and so was the kid. He was ecstatic and Ray could see that. “It really is quite the sight.” The Toddler added.
A few hours later at the man cave~
“Ok, Ray and Henry should be back any time now.” Charlotte said, checking the cams. “Cool, can’t wait to show them my new haircut.” Jasper said, as he came in with a weird new hairstyle. “Why do you look like Marge Simpson?”
“Cause, I wanted to do something new this time. So when my barber said what I wanted I said surprise me!” Jasper explained. “Ok, but why would he do… that?” She gestured to the tall hair.
“I dunno. Actually, now that I think about it I don’t think there’s such a thing as “Hair College”.” Jasper thought. “No, there is. He’s probably just stupi-“ Jasper cut her off. “No, it’s definitely the fake hair college.” Charlotte rolled her eyes and got back to work.
The tubes came down and so did Henry and Ray. But something was different… Henry looked nobody in the eyes, but was finally unparalyzed and Ray had the biggest smile on his face. “Hey guys! Guess what I just learned about our little friend Hen-“ Henry put his hand over his mouth to shut him up. “Nothing! You learned nothing.” He gave Ray a death stare and put his hand down.
“Ugh, fine. I didn’t learn anything…” Ray said, frustrated but with a plan. “Thank you…” Henry sighed. When Ray was done blowing his bubble to change back, he blurted out. “Except that Henry’s ticklish!” As he tackled Henry to the ground mid transformation.
“Wait, Henry’s ticklish?” Charlotte asked. Jasper had a big smile on his face. “I already knew. We’d rough house all the time, so of course after a few times of him laughing every time I’d grab his sides or anything really, I caught on pretty quickly.” Jasper confessed.
“Jasper! Help me!” Henry yelled at him, as he wrestled Ray for the upper hand. “No can do bud. I actually kinda want in.” He then walked over to Henry and grabbed his wrists helping Ray pin him. “Now for the show to begin. But this time, you can move! I don’t think you’re worried about that though.” He did the same thing he did when they fought The Toddler.
He slowly lowered his hands, but this time they were aiming for his ribs. Seeing as he didn’t have much access to them before. “Oh, this gets him every time.” Jasper said. Then Henry started nervous laughing and kicking his legs under Rays weight.
“See?~” Jasper teased. “Shuhut uhup!” Henry closed his eyes so he didn’t have to look at anyone. He was too embarrassed to. Then there was contact, but not rays hands. They were Charlotte’s hands.
“Chahaharr! Hahaha!” One hand was scratching Henry’s side, while the other was scribbling at his neck. It was surprisingly effective cause Henry was turtling in on himself to protect his neck, while also scooting away from the side scratches.
With Charlotte at Henry’s sides and neck and Jasper holding his arms, Ray went for his stomach. Charlotte moved up to his ribs so Ray could scribble at his stomach. When he did Henry jumped and his eyes went wide, as he fell into squeaky frantic voice cracking laughter.
They realized he was losing his mind so they all let up. When they did he went limp and let the rest of his giggles out.
They all looked at him with genuine smiles as they saw one of his own plastered on his face. “Whyhehe…??” He asked slightly breathless. “Why what?” Jasper asked.
“Why tickle me?” He replied, sitting upright now. “Cause we know you like it.” Charlotte said with a sassy smirk to Henry, which made him cover his face with his hands in response. “And cause you’re the most precious person in the man cave to tickle.” Ray mentioned.
“Ok, I got the part you wanted for when Ray and Henry come back with the machin- why are you all staring at me like that?” Shwoz questioned. “Except for one other person.” Ray corrected, as he chased after Shwoz. “AYY!” Was all you could hear from the other room, before the faint but loud sounds of Shwoz’s laughter.
