TickleToy is a very grumpy bunny. He spends most of his day sitting and pouting...at least that's what he'd LIKE to do! Unfortunately for him, he is also a very ticklish bunny who happens to live in a forest infested with tickle monsters. Instead of spending his days pouting in a corner somewhere, TickleToy can often be found laughing his cute little head off as one of the resident tickle monsters makes him live up to his name.

TickleToy's hearty laughter filled the room as I brushed the magical feather across his plump belly. I relished in the high pitched squeals he made each time the feather kissed the rim of his navel, and I savored the deep belly laughter he made each time it dipped into that sensitive dimple. I had been tickling him for hours in hopes that one of my magic feathers would finally change his color. The only thing I had managed thus far was turning his cheeks bright pink from all the laughing he was doing, not that I really minded, though. I adored tickling my pets silly, and TickleToy was well overdue for some attention.
My mind was quickly called back from my musings by a change in Tickletoy's laughter. Until this point, he has been emitting squealy giggles with bouts of deep belly laughter sparcely interspersed. But now, he as belting peals of cackling that had a hint of despiration. I looked down to find a Giggle Worm nestling itself right in TickleToy's bellybutton. Giggle Worms are expert ticklers. Their bodies are covered in downy hairs that are not only tickly to the touch, but also inject a sensitising toxin upon contact. I could tell that the toxin had already spread throughout the walls of TickleToy's navel, and that the worm had taken an expressed liking to the tender knot at the base of his bellybutton. He was in for an especially tickly treat!
TickleToy threw his head back and guffawed in helpless defeat. Each time the Giggle Worm wriggled in his belly button, TickleToy would shriek with mirth and his belly would quake and jiggle in an effort to dislodge its tiny tickler. Unfortunately for TickleToy, he was completely tied down so I could tease him without interference.
'Why TickleToy! It looks like you've made a new friend!' I teased. 'Maybe I should leave the two of you alone so that you can have a fun little playdate.' I mused alloud while TickleToy squealed in ticklish protest and tried to free himself. The thought of me leaving him at the mercy of the Giggle Worm probably scared the daylights out of him. I grinned. 'You're right, we do have work to do, playtime can come later...' I said as I lowered my magic feather to his quivering underbelly.
As I teased the chubby expanse of tummy right below his bellybutton, the Giggle Worm titillated the deepest depths of his navel, and TickleToy could do nothing but laugh and laugh. I knew that he had reached his limit when he threw his head back, eyes tightly shut with tears streaming down his bright red cheeks, and let out an uninterrupted stream of deep belly laughs. With one final brush of my feather against his tender navel rim, TickleToy began to change.
A lovely teal color radiated from his tickled navel, spiraling to cover his expansive tummy until it was everywhere. Finally, his cute innie popped out as a little purple button and the Giggle Worm fell to the floor before inching away.
TickleToy lay there breathing heavily, exhausted but content.
