This is a SFW tickle fic, if you don't like that then don't read :)
Kaufmo and Ribbit notice Jax hasn't smiled much lately. They only know one way to fix that. Jax remembers exactly what that way is :3
The circus was quiet that afternoon.
Not the bad kind of quiet. Not the heavy, tense silence that sometimes settled over the tent when something had gone wrong with an adventure or someone was off sulking in their room. This was the good kind. The calm kind. Jax was frowning at the ceiling.
He was sprawled across the couch, his long legs dangling over one armrest and his head laid against the other. His ears were drooping. And he was frowning.
He'd been frowning for a while.
Kaufmo noticed first. He usually did. Spending enough time around the same handful of people made it easy to notice when something was off.
Kaufmo set down the deck of cards he'd been shuffling for the past ten minutes and tilted his head toward the couch. His bow tie was crooked. It was always crooked. Ribbit had told him seventeen times, and he still has never fixed it.
"What's up with him?" Kaufmo asked.
Ribbit was sitting cross-legged on the floor nearby, poking at one of the circus's weird little creatures that Caine made. Some kind of floating blob. It made a soft boinging sound every time she touched it. Boing. Boing. Boing.
"Dunno," Ribbit said. "He's been like that all morning."
"All morning?"
"Since breakfast."
"That was four hours ago."
"I know."
Kaufmo frowned. Four hours was a long time to stare at the ceiling, even for Jax. Jax wasn't exactly a ray of sunshine on a normal day. He was smug, lazy, and just mischievous enough to steal the last donut while looking you in the eye. But he didn't usually frown for four straight hours.
"You think something's wrong?" Kaufmo asked.
Ribbit gave the blob one last boing and then turned to look at Jax properly. His ears were still drooping. His arms were crossed. He hadn't moved in at least twenty minutes.
"He's been kinda off all week," Ribbit said. "Quiet and distracted. I tried asking him about it yesterday and he just said he was 'just tired'."
"Tired for a whole week?"
"That's what I said."
Kaufmo picked up his cards again and shuffled them absently. The soft flick of the deck filled the quiet. "We should do something."
"Do what?"
"I don't know. Something. He's been frowny."
"Frowny isn't a word."
"It is now."
Ribbit snorted. She pushed herself up from the floor and dusted off her knees. The little blob drifted away, boinging softly. "You want to cheer him up?"
"Yeah."
"How?"
Kaufmo thought about it. They'd tried the usual things. The joke routines. The card games. The long rambling conversations about nothing in particular that usually got Jax to crack a smile. None of it had worked this week. He'd still joked around. He'd still smiled. Something about it just felt… quieter. "We could try the tactic," Kaufmo said.
Ribbit blinked. Then a slow grin spread across her face.
"The tactic?"
"The tactic."
"The one that always works?"
"The one that always works."
Ribbit's grin widened. She looked over at Jax, still sprawled on the couch, still frowning at the ceiling. He had no idea what was coming. He had no idea they were even talking about him.
"I like this plan," Ribbit said.
Kaufmo set his cards aside and stood up. His bow tie was still crooked. He didn't fix it. "Let's go cheer up our rabbit."
Jax heard them coming.
He didn't move. He didn't look. But his ears swiveled toward the sound of footsteps, and he knew. You didn't survive in the circus without developing a sixth sense for when your friends were about to be annoying.
"Whatever it is," he said to the ceiling, "no."
"We haven't said anything yet," Kaufmo pointed out.
"You didn't have to. You're doing the thing."
"What thing?"
"The thing where you two scheme."
Ribbit and Kaufmo exchanged a look. Jax was sharp. He always had been. That was part of why they liked him, even when he was being a grouch.
"We're not scheming," Ribbit said. "We're just concerned about your well-being."
"My well-being is fine."
"Your ears are drooping."
Jax's ears immediately perked up. Not because he was happy, but because he'd been caught. "No they're not."
"They were."
"It's… gravity."
"Gravity doesn't affect rabbit ears."
"It's circus gravity. Different rules."
Ribbit and Kaufmo had reached the couch by now. They stood on either side of it, looking down at Jax, looking far too pleased with themselves. Jax stayed exactly where he was, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the ceiling.
"You've been frowning for four hours," Kaufmo said.
"I'm not frowning. I'm thinking."
"About what?"
"Stuff."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Rabbit stuff. You wouldn't get it."
Ribbit sat down on the armrest.
"You know," she said, "me and Kaufmo have been talking."
"Terrifying."
"And we noticed you've been kind of frowny lately."
"Frowny isn't a word."
"That's what I said," Ribbit said to Kaufmo.
"That's what she said," Kaufmo confirmed.
Jax's eyes narrowed. "Why are you two ganging up on me?"
"Because we care about you," Kaufmo said.
"Gross."
"And we want to cheer you up."
"I'm cheered. Mission accomplished. You can leave now."
"You're still frowning."
"I'm SMILING." Jax flashed them the most exaggerated grin he could manage. "See? Smiling. Hooray."
Ribbit looked at Kaufmo. Kaufmo looked at Ribbit.
"The tactic?" Ribbit said.
"The tactic," Kaufmo agreed.
Jax's grin disappeared.
"…What tactic?"
Neither of them answered.
They just smiled.
And took a step forward.
Jax immediately scooted backward across the couch.
"…W-Wait."
Another step.
He slid off the couch and stumbled backward onto the floor.
"W-WAIT, guys."
Ribbit wiggled her fingers in Jax's direction.
Jax took another step back.
"Please… n-not again."
Kaufmo kept walking.
"So you do know the tactic."
"I'm SMILING!" Jax blurted, forcing the widest grin he could manage. He pointed frantically at his own face.
"LOOK! I'm smiling!"
Neither of them slowed down.
Jax couldn't stop letting out a nervous little, "Heheh-"
"…Guys?"
Another step.
He bumped into the wall behind him.
Dead end. Jax looked at the wall and then slowly turned his head to face his friends. There was nowhere else to go. Kaufmo and Ribbit's shadows loomed over him like a tower as Jax curled in.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me…"
Jax wasted no time and made a break for it.
Ribbit caught one of his ankles with a laugh.
"Ha! Gotcha."
Jax stumbled.
"WAHAIT-"
He hit the floor with a startled yelp.
Before he could push himself back up, Kaufmo slipped in behind him and caught both of his wrists, lifting them up beside his ears.
"WAHAIT-"
"There we go," Kaufmo laughed.
"Nohoho, don't 'there we go' me-"
Ribbit knelt down in front of him, flexing her fingers.
"You know," she said with a grin, "you're making this really easy."
Jax's eyes darted from Ribbit… to Kaufmo… then back again.
His ears flattened.
"N-No…"
"Heheh…"
"I'm already smiling…"
His nervous grin returned before either of them even touched him.
"LOOK! I'm smiling!"
Ribbit wiggled her fingers just above his stomach.
"Plehehease don't…"
"Don't what?"
"Tickle me… WAIT NO-"
Her fingers landed on his stomach in quick, playful scribbles.
"GAHAHAHAHA-!"
Kaufmo tightened his hold just enough to keep Jax's wrists comfortably pinned beside his ears as the rabbit immediately started squirming.
Jax gave one hopeless tug against Kaufmo's grip. It didn't even budge.
"N-NOHOHO-"
"Oh~?" Kaufmo teased. "We haven't even done anything yet."
"YOHOHOU KNOW WHAHAHAT YOU'RE DOHOHOING-"
Ribbit grinned.
"I do."
Her fingers fluttered across his stomach, scribbling circles that sent him into another fit of laughter.
"GAHAHAHAHA-!"
Jax folded forward instinctively before Kaufmo gently pulled him upright again.
"No fair," Kaufmo laughed. "You have to stay where we can see you."
"NOHOHO-!"
Ribbit barely had to move.
Every tiny scribble sent another wave of helpless laughter out of him.
"Hehehehey!"
"There it is," Ribbit giggled.
"The real smile."
"IHIHI HAHATE YOHOHOU-"
"No, you don't."
Kaufmo rested his chin on top of Jax's head.
"I think we're making progress."
Kaufmo couldn't help laughing along with him.
"You really were frowny today."
"IHIHI WAS FIHIHINE-"
"You seem much happier now."
"I CAHAHAN'T BREHEHEATHE-"
"That's not a no."
Jax threw his head back, laughing too hard to answer.
His whole body had gone limp except for the occasional helpless squirm.
He wasn't even escaping anymore.
He wasn't even trying.
He was completely, utterly wrecked.
"PLEHEHEASE- YOHOHOU'RE BOTH TEHEHERRIBLE-"
"Terrible?" Kaufmo said. "Us? We're just trying to cheer you up."
"THIHIS ISN'T CHEERING-"
"You're smiling."
"I'M NOHOHOT-"
"Your face is so red," Ribbit observed, never letting her fingers leave his stomach and ribs. "It goes all the way down your neck."
"IHIHI DOHOHON'T BLUSH-"
"Your ears are pink."
"THEY'RE ALWAYS PINK-"
"Not that pink."
"Nnhehehe-"
Jax jerked violently against Kaufmo's hold.
"Awww," Ribbit cooed. "Look at your little blush."
"IHIHI DOHOHON'T BLUHUSH-"
"And that smile."
"IHIHI'M NOHOHOT SMIHIHILING-"
"You are now."
Ribbit's fingers drifted higher across his stomach until they found another sensitive spot.
"GAHAHA- RIHIBBIT PLEHEHEASE-"
"Please what?"
"PLEHEHEASE- PLEHEHEASE IHI CAHAHAN'T-"
"Can't what?"
"CAHAHAN'T-"
"Awww," Ribbit cooed. "He's too flustered to even finish his sentence."
Jax's face flushed even brighter.
"I-IHI'M GOHONNA SHOVE CENTIPEDHES UP YOUR A#$-"
Silence.
"…"
"Pfft."
Ribbit slapped a hand over her mouth.
Kaufmo curled his lips inward.
"…Snrk."
Neither of them dared look at the other.
…
They looked anyway.
That was a mistake.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Neither of them could stop.
Jax's face somehow turned an even deeper shade of red.
"SHUHUHUT UHP-!"
Ribbit doubled over, laughing even harder.
Kaufmo laughed so hard he nearly fell off the couch.
"C-CEHEHENTIPEDES?!" Ribbit managed between wheezes.
"WHOHOHO SAYS THAHAHAT?!" Kaufmo laughed.
"STOP LAHAHAUGHING-!"
At some point, without either of them noticing, both of them had stopped tickling him.
Kaufmo let go of Jax's wrists.
Ribbit offered him a hand.
Still giggling under his breath, Jax accepted it, and between the two of them they helped him flop back onto the couch.
The moment he landed, Jax grabbed one of the couch cushions and buried his burning face in it.
"Heheh…Hah…Hehe…"
Jax went limp on the couch. His chest was heaving. His fur was ruffled. His ears were still flat against his head, but slowly, very slowly, they started to lift. Lingering giggles kept bubbling up out of him, his body still not quite believing the attack was over.
"Hohoholy shihihit," he managed.
"That good?" Ribbit asked.
"I hate you."
"No you don't."
"I hate you so much."
But he was smiling. Not because he was trying to prove anything. Just because he'd been laughing so hard he couldn't think straight. Kaufmo leaned back against the armrest, satisfied.
"See? We cheered you up."
"You tickled me until I couldn't breathe."
"Close enough."
"I'm never trusting either of you again."
Ribbit poked his side.
Jax flinched with a tiny yelp. "HEHEY-"
"See? Still ticklish."
"I KNOW that. I've always known that. That's not new information."
"But it's funny."
"It's not funny."
"It's kind of funny," Kaufmo said.
"You're not helping," Jax mumbled into the couch cushion.
Ribbit snorted.
It took a long time for the laughter to fade.
When it finally did, Jax was slumped sideways on the couch, his head resting against the armrest. His ears were completely limp. His eyes were half-closed. He looked exhausted. But he was still smiling.
"Feeling better?" Ribbit asked. She'd recovered enough to sit up, wiping tears from her eyes.
Jax thought about it. His chest still ached from laughing. His face was still hot and his fur was a mess.
"Yeah," he said quietly. "Actually. Yeah."
"Told you the tactic works," Kaufmo said.
"It's a stupid tactic."
"It's the only tactic we know."
"Then it's the only stupid tactic you know."
But Jax's voice had no bite to it. He was too tired for bite. Too warm. Too comfortable. The kind of comfortable that came from being completely wrecked by people who cared about you.
Ribbit crawled over and flopped down on the other end of the couch, her feet bumping against Jax's. "You know we did that because we like you, right?"
"Gross."
"I'm serious."
"So am I. Gross."
But Jax's ears lifted slightly. Just a little. Just enough.
Kaufmo pulled out his deck of UNO from wherever he'd stashed them and started shuffling again. "Uno?"
Several rounds later…
"…I don't have a green."
Kaufmo drew.
Red.
Still nothing.
He drew again.
Blue.
"Nope."
Another card.
Yellow.
"…Seriously?"
Across the table, Jax quietly laid down another green.
Ribbit followed with one of her own.
Kaufmo stared at them.
"…You two planned this."
"We're literally just playing Uno," Ribbit said, barely holding back a smile.
Kaufmo drew again.
Still no green.
"…Give me a break."
Another draw.
Another card he couldn't use.
He threw his head back dramatically.
"GIVE ME A GREEN CARD!"
Jax's shoulders were already shaking.
Ribbit had started snickering into her hand.
Finally…
A green.
"YES! HOLY S#$%!"
Kaufmo slammed it onto the pile.
Her eyes landed on the bright green Reverse.
She immediately buried her face in one hand, already wheezing.
"Ohoho no… dohohon't do it…"
She shook her head.
"Dohohon't do it…"
Without saying a word, Jax placed down a Reverse.
Kaufmo froze.
Slowly…
Very slowly…
He looked down at his hand and looked at Jax.
"…"
"I DON'T HAVE A GREEN!"
"PHFFT-"
Ribbit lost it first.
"BAHAHAHAHA!"
Jax folded over the table.
"GAHAHAHA-" Jax wheezed.
"NOHOHO WAHAHAY-"
With a defeated groan, Kaufmo reached for the draw pile again.
He drew again.
Red.
Kaufmo threw his hands into the air.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Another round started almost immediately. Kaufmo insisted he was about to make a comeback. Jax and Ribbit insisted otherwise. The tent filled with laughter all over again.
Jax kept smiling.
Around Kaufmo and Ribbit, it came easily.

FTing - Queenie, Kaufmo, and Kinger

Mentioned - Zooble, Caine, (Gangle, Ragatha, and Pomni / Everybody)
___________________________________________
AU : Mine!
___________________________________________
Context : This takes place before the events of episode 6, 7, or 8. But! Making a callback to episode 7, memory the snow with the hut memory... adventure thing in Caine's office Jax was staring at? That's the snowy I'm goin' for!
___________________________________________
Everyone... just had gotten back from another adventure by Caine.
"Well, my work here is done. Don't miss me too much!" Jax called out with a wave, heading towards their sleeping quarters.
He could hear the faint voices of Zooble talking to Caine's obnoxiously loud voice... the others were talking, just not as loudly as the other two.
He entered the entrance to the quarters, closing the door behind him. He sucked in a breath and sighed, his ears droopy. He walked slowly towards his room, shoulders slumping, eyes suddenly tired... he looked out of it.
He made it to his room, walking in and locking the door. He hated his room. Hated anybody seeing his room...
He rubbed his eyes, his frown wobbly. He wanted to ask Caine for a room design change... if that was even possible. He lied down on his bed, looking at the pictures that infested his wall. All flipped over.
Why would he even take those pictures at all? Why did it even matter? They're gone, why did he keep them in the first place?
Something to hold on to? He himself forgot why he even kept them. The more he looked, the more it hurt.
He shook his head, tucking himself in with the blanket and closing his eyes, curling up, hugging one of his pillows, burying his face inside of it.
What would he get today?..
Another nightmare? Or...
He drifted off before his thoughts could finish... body relaxing, grip loosening.
"Jax!! Heads up!!" Ribbit yelled, throwing a snowball at Jax's face, making the rabbit fall into the snow.
"Gah!-- ohokay! Maybe a bit of a warning next time?!" Jax chuckled, Kaufmo giggling and helping him up.
They were all wearing scarfs, gloves and hats... snow clothes and boots - you get it.
Ribbit walked over with a laugh. "First of all, I did warn you. You're just slow!" She poked his side.
"I aham not-!!" He swatted her hand away, backing up against Kaufmo, who just laughed in response, hands on Jax's shoulders.
The adventure was... semi-normal. They just had a snow day, basically.
"Yeah ya are." Kaufmo spoke in that jolly, goofy tone, quickly spidering up Jax's back once.
"eeEEK-!! Thahat's unfahair!!- It's a twovone!!" He pushed Kaufmo away lightly, his grin just growing wider.
"Ohh, is itt?" Ribbit shared Kaufmo's grin, raising her hands and wiggling her fingers, stepping closer.
"Rihibbit, stohop!!--" Jax bumped right back into Kaufmo, back up against his chest.
"Aaaandddd... down ya go!" Kaufmo slipped away, having Jax fall to the fluffy snow ground.
"Thanks, Kaufy!" Ribbit hopped onto Jax, hands still raised, fingers still wiggling. "Any last words, puffball?"
"WAHAIT!!-- Okay-- ohokay! Let's not be hahastEEEHEHEHHE!! RIHIHIBBIHIHIT!!" He cackled when Ribbit aimed for his upper ribs. Wasn't even that bad of a spot... Ribbit was just the tickle master.
"Time's up!!" Ribbit laughed along, her long fingers pressing every button of ticklishness on Jax possible.
Kaufmo sat down next to them, covering his grin and poorly stifled chuckles.
"WHAHA-- WHAHAHAT DID I DOOOHOHOHOHO?!" Jax hiccuped, mouth opening, sharp teeth visible.
"Nothing yet." Ribbit pressed against Jax's belly.
"GAHA--!! NOOHOHOHOHO!!"
"Awwwhhh, is the bunny ticklish?" Kaufmo baby talked, cooing, hands on his cheeks.
"OHOHO MY GOHOHOD, DOHOHOHON'T!!" His cheeks were starting to hurt from smiling so much... but his chest fuzzied up with happiness.
"What about here?! Over here? Hereherehere?!" Ribbit switched spots rapidly, making the rabbit squeal.
"GUHUHUHUYS!!" Jax curled up, hugging himself, his smile big and bright, laughter loud and carefree. His cheeks hinted a hue of pink.
"What? What're you gonna do?" Ribbit snickered.
"Giggle at us?" Kaufmo teased along, poking Jax's shoulder.
"YOHOHOU AHABSOLUTE DOHOHOHORKS!!" His foot started to thump against the snow, making soft but quick pitter-patters.
Jax didn't hate this. He never did. Hell, he enjoyed it more than anything. It just made him feel right. Made him feel human... loved.
"Immmaaa... getcha here, and then there, and thennn everywhere!!!" Ribbit tickled everywhere she could on his upper body.
"GAHAHAHA, NAHAHAHAHAHAHAHO!!! OHOHO MY-- OKAY!! OHOHOKAHAHAY!! CAHAHALM DOHOHOWN!! CAHAHALM DOHOHOHOWN!! AAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Jax smile grew wider, his eyes squeezed shut, foot quickening.
Kaufmo snorted, cackling. "Bahaha! Ohokay, ease down!!" He tapped Ribbit's shoulder, who giggled and lightly drummed her fingers against his shoulders.
"Aha-- ahaha! Thahat-- Ihi-- geheheheheheez!!" He hiccuped, his foot slowing.
A portal opened, the adventure being over.
Jax was still giggly as they walked back in the circus, the three talking.
"So, Jax..." Kaufmo started.
"Huh?- Whahat?" He sighed, all of them back in their original clothes.
"...We'll give you ten seconds. One." Ribbit raised her hands.
"Wha?!"
"Two.." Kaufmo stepped closer.
"Stohop-!! H-Hohold ohon!!" He stepped back, his smile wobbly and oddly excited.
"Three!!" The two spoke.
"Noho-!!" He ran out of there, giggles spilling out of him forcefully.
"Kihinger!! Queeniehe!!" He quickly slipped into the pillow fort, scrambling next to the couple.
"Oh my! What's the rush?" Queenie chuckled, watching him hide behind Kinger.
"Quite the Giggle Bug, huh?" Kinger raised a browz watching Jax cover his mouth.
"Juhust help mehe!!"
"Kinger!! Queenie!!" Kaufmo and Ribbit called out, entering the pillow fort.
"Yes, dears?" Queenie stifled her laughter well, Jax covering his mouth, shoulders shaking, hiding behind Kinger.
"Have you seen Jax? He kinda ran away~" Ribbit and Kaufmo shared grins.
"Yeah! Wonder why~" Kaufmo shrugged.
"Sounds mysterious. No, haven't seen him." Kinger slipped his hand behind him, squeezing Jax's belly.
"Wahait, noho-!!" Jax giggled out.
"Found you!!!" The two grinned, scooting over, Kinger lightly pushing Jax on his back - his friends immediately ambushing the rabbit.
"NAHAHAT AHAHAHAGAHAHAIN!! KIHIHINGER, YOU TRAHAHAHAITOHOHOHOR!!" His mouth opened once more, feet kicking, foot thumping.
"Aww, sweetheart..." Queenie cooed softly, leaning against her husband - watching the three giggle and have fun.
"Ihi know, I know..." he placed his hand on hers, his eyes soft and fond. Loving.
Jax woke. He groaned, sitting up, the pillow on the floor. He looked down at his lap, sitting there for a good moment.
...
Kinger.
He got out of bed, leaving it a mess. He unlocked his door and walked out, locking it again once it shut, pocketing his key.
He walked through the walls, exiting the hallway and standing into the opened circus. He looked around... eyes landing on Kinger's pillow fort.
It was all dark... he slept for a long while after he came back from that adventure. Everybody was asleep in their rooms.
He hesitated... he really did. But he shook his head, walking over. He knelt down in front of it, fidgeting with his fingers.
"...Kinger?" He called out, voice quiet and soft.
There was rustling until the pillow door opened, his head poking out. "Jax? What are you doing awake?" He asked, his voice echoing off the walls.
"I--..." He looked down before up at Kinger. "...I had a dream... when I took my nap..." He rubbed the back of his neck, glancing away again.
"Oh..." Kinger looked at Jax before scooting aside. "Wanna come tell me about it?"
Jax paused...
"Yeah." He crawled in, scooting back. "And... can I stay here tonight?.."
Kinger nodded. "Of course of can. You never have to ask."
He closed the entrance.
💜End💜
Not the Time for Reunion Tickles
Summary: When the circus members reunite with Jax, Gangle accidentally reveals his secret.
Jax slowly opened his eyes only to find himself in bed, with Pomni, Ragatha, Zooble, Gangle, Kinger and Caine gathered around him with relieved looks on their faces. He was confused. Last thing he remembered was that he was hugging Pomni while in tears, the next thing he knew he was in bed, thinking it was all a dream.
"Wha- what happened?" Jax asked, rubbing his head.
"Never mind that," Pomni said, hugging Jax. "We're all together again."
"We're so glad you're okay!" Ragatha said, hugging him as well, followed by Kinger, Zooble, Gangle and Caine.
"There's two more people that I'm sure would be happy to see you," said Caine, looking to his left. "Or at least, one of them."
Jax looked over to see his old friend Ribbit, looking at him, with a surprised look on her face.
"Jax, is that.. you?" she asked, walking up to him.
"H- honey?" Kinger said, seeing a dark brown chess piece, wearing red robes.
"My darling..." Queenie said, happily hugging Kinger, with him hugging her back, reunited at last.
"Yes, it's me," Jax said, shyly avoiding eye contact. He hasn't seen Ribbit for a long time.
"Jaxy boy, there's no need to be shy," Gangle said, stroking her ribbons on Jax's stomach, making him laugh.
"Gangle, stop!" Jax said, laughing. "That tickles!"
"Wha...?" Ribbit was bewildered. The whole time they had been friends in the past, he never showed any signs of being ticklish. The last time she's tried tickling him, she got no reaction.
"Hehe, aww, you're so cute, Jaxy boy!" Gangle said, stroking his stomach more.
"GAHAHAHAHANGLE! PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE STAHAHAHAHAHAHAP IHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT!" Jax said, trying to keep Gangle's ribbons away from him. After a while, Gangle stopped tickling him.
"Jax, when did you start being ticklish? You weren't last time I tickled you," Ribbit said, crossing her arms. Jax nervously hugged himself.
"You can blame Caine for that..." he muttered, bringing his knees to his chest.
"What? Pomni wanted revenge!" Caine said, backing up a little.
"Only because of a prank," said Pomni. "Caine and I decided that the best way to get revenge on Jax would be to tickle him."
"The rest of us found out soon after. Hehe," Gangle said, giggling a little.
"But we can’t help it," Ragatha explained. "It's fun and cute!"
"I'm... not cute, Ragatha," Jax said, not looking at anyone.
"Jax, do you know what I'm gonna do, now that I know that you're ticklish?" Ribbit said, smirking and wiggling her fingers at him.
"No! Please!" Jax said, trying to get her to reconsider. "I'm too ticklish!"
"I gotta test this out," Ribbit said, jumping on Jax and holding him down, positioning wiggling fingers above his stomach.
"Please, I'm too ticklish there!" Jax said, not wanting anything to do with what his stomach was about to go through. Ribbit ignored this and started tickling him.
"Tickle, tickle, tickle!" Ribbit said as she tickled. Jax's reaction was instant.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! STAHAHAHAHAP IHIHIHIHIHIHIHIT! THAHAHAHAT'S A REHEHEHEALLY BAHAHAHAHAD SPOHOHOHOHOHOT!" Jax said through his laughter as he was being tickled.
"Is your tummy ticklish?" Ribbit said, digging her fingers into Jax's stomach, causing him to laugh and kick his legs.
"PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE! I CAHAHAHAN'T TAHAHAHAHAKE IHIHIHIT THEHEHEHERE! STAHAHAHAHAP!" Jax protested through his laughter as Ribbit kept tickling him. Ribbit took a feather and stroked it up and down on Jax's stomach.
"Coochie coochie coo!" Ribbit said as she tickled with the feather. Jax was overwhelmed with hysterical laughter.
"STAHAHAHAHAHAP TIHIHIHIHICKLING MEHEHE! PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE! NOHOHOHO MOHOHOHOHORE! NOHOHOHOHOT MY STOHOHOHOHOHOMACH!" Jax pleaded through his laughter as the feather kept tickling him.
"Just one more thing!" Ribbit said as she withdrew the feather and started blowing raspberries on Jax's stomach.
"THIHIHIHIHIS IHIHIHIHIS EVEN WOHOHOHOHORSE! PLEHEHEHEHEHEASE HAHAHAVE MEHEHEHEHEHEHERCY! THAT TIHIHIHIHIHICKLES!" Jax found it very difficult to get any words out without being dissolved by laughter.
After twenty minutes of nonstop tickling, feeling like hours for Jax, Ribbit stopped tickling him and let him up. Jax hugged his midsection.
