Day 2: Chase

Blathers recalls a time when him and Celeste would dig fossils together as kids. Unfortunately, today's fossil is a bug...And Blathers hates bugs...And of course, Celeste takes advantage of that...

I'm late...I know. But, whatever. Here's tickletober day 2.

“Hey Blathers! Look what I found!” His little sister yelled out from about 15 feet away.

“What is it, Celeste?” Blathers asked.

“A big hole!” Celeste was actively trying to dig into the hole with her kid-sized shovel. Seeing that his little sister was struggling, Blathers grabbed out a regular shovel and dug into the ground. One dig in, and Blathers had unearthed the fossil.

“Awww…I wanted to dig it out…” Celeste mumbled.

“You can take it out with me if you want.” Blathers offered.

And almost like magic, Celeste’s face grew excited as she let out an enthusiastic ‘Okay!”. She grabbed onto the shovel with her brother and helped him lift the fossil out of the ground. A little cheerful sound filled their heads as they held up the blue fossil together.

“Look! We dug up a fossil!” Celeste declared.

“Indeed we did.” Blathers added.

Celeste and Blathers put the fossil down, and looked at it up and down. “It looks to be a fish of some sort.” Celeste admitted.

“I don’t know…” Blathers shuddered slightly. “I-it looks more buggish to me…” He admitted.

“Buggish?” Celeste looked at it closer. “Well if it’s a bug, it would be moving more.” Celeste mentioned.

“It’s really a bug fossil, meaning this bug has been dead for a very long time.” Blathers admitted.

“I don’t know…” Celeste reached out her feathery hands and picked up the fossil.

“Ah! Careful!” Blathers ordered.

“Why? Scared that I’ll use it against you?” She asked him.

“U-uh…I meant more like…you might break the fossil.” Blathers admitted.

“I’m sure you did…” Celeste muttered with a smirk, picking up the fossil. “Because the last thing you want is a bug fossil coming back to life and crawling on you.” Celeste declared, fluttering her feathers against his shoulder.

“Celeste!” Blathers tried to slap her sister’s wing away, but to no avail.

“What’s wrong, Blathy? Don’t like the idea of a zombie bug?” She asked, picking up the fossil as she smirked at him.

“What are you- Put it down!” Blathers ordered.

“Why? It’s not alive.” Celeste told him.

“You’re gonna chase me with it!” Blathers reacted.

“Is that so?” Celeste asked with a giggle. “Yes! You’ve done it so many times!” Blathers argued.

“Well believe it or not, I wasn’t going to…” Slowly, a mischievous glint showed up in her eye. “But now that you mention it-” Celeste brought the bug closer to him.

“DON’T YOU DARE!” Blathers yelled out.

“Aww…Come on, Blathers! All he wants is a hug!” Celeste placed the fossil right onto her brother’s belly.

“EEK!” Blathers screeched and sprinted the other way. “Get away from me!” Blathers yelled.

“Just one kiss!” Celeste started chasing him with the fossil.

“NO!” Blathers sprinted as fast as his little feet could carry him.

“But Blathers!” Much to Blathers surprise, Celeste was right on his tail. “I thought you liked fossils!”

“YOU’RE SO MEAN!” Blathers yelled over his shoulder.

“And you’re being a big baby!” Celeste replied with a giggle.

Blathers kept an eye on the path in front of him. If he wanted to trick his sister, he had to be smart about it. He ran through the trees, making sure to deke through the trees. This made his moves sporadic and unpredictable.

But when that didn’t work, Blathers tried flying up one of the trees. Hopefully if he goes up high enough, Celeste won’t be able to see him. Just because Celeste was younger and a lot more spry than him, doesn’t mean Blathers couldn't make a sneaky get-away!

Blathers breathed in and out rather heavily as he held onto one of the lower branches with his owl feet. Fearing the worst, Blathers turned around to look behind the tree trunk. Thankfully, no one seemed to be there. It looked like he was safe…for now, at least.

With this, Blathers could have just enough time to come up with a plan to distract Celeste from her evil plans.

“BOO!”

Blathers SHRIEKED and spun around, holding his chest in shock! Quickly, his big eyes fell on his playfully evil sister, and the creepy bug fossil! NO! He’s DOOMED!

“I gotcha, Blathers~” Celeste teased, still holding the bug fossil in her hand.

“No! NO!” Blathers covered his eyes with his feathers, fearing the worst. Though, covering his eyes would end up being a terrible idea, due to the large amount of surprise that he felt when the fossil touched his feathers.

“Boop!” Celeste chirped playfully.

“Whahat-?” Blathers squeaked as he felt the fossil against his side. “CELESTE NO!”

“What’s wrong? Ticklish~?” Celeste asked, giggling.

“YEHES!” Blathers reacted as he tried to run away. Since Blathers was naturally stronger than Celeste, Blathers was able to get away. “Leheheave me alohohohone!” He started running.

“Aww man…” Celeste muttered. “Well, here we go again!” Celeste declared. It looked like the chase was afoot once again.

Blathers ran around the yard once again. Unlike last time where he twisted through the trees, he decided to go up their outdoor playground. He ran up the stairs, and walked across the red bridge. But his anxiety began to worsen when he heard the clicky steps of his sister’s feet filling the wooden bridge behind him. Just one little peek behind him, told him everything:

Celeste was right on his tail!

Realizing he had no other choice, Blathers jumped over the handrail of the bridge, and opened his wings to slow his fall. The moment he landed on his feet, he sped off running forward.

“GOTCHA!” A pair of wings wrapped around Blathers and tackled him to the ground.

“NO!” Blathers screeched as he felt her evil claws tickle his sides. “GAAAHAhahaha!” Blathers laughed.

“Tickle tickle tickle!” Celeste teased.

“WHEHEHERE’S THE FOHOHOSSIL?!” Blathers asked.

“It’s on the bridge!” Celeste told him. “I placed it down so I could go down the slide.” She told him.

“Ohohohoho…” Blathers rolled around, unable to stop his spry sister. The running had rendered him exhausted, and the tickling was only further weakening any strength he had left in him. “Plehehehehease stahahahap!” “Only if you say ‘I win’!” Celeste declared.

“NOHOHO WAHAHAY!” Blathers covered his eyes with his wings. “NEHEHEVERRR!” He shouted next.

“Alright, fine.” Celeste leaned in a little bit. “I’ll just go for your worst spot then~” Celeste winked, creating a little yellow star beside her closed eye.

Blathers gasped and froze. “WaitNO!” Blathers wiggled around all over the place as squawks and shrieks filled the yard. “EEHEHEEEK! STAHAHAP! NAHAHAHAHA- GAHAHAHAHA!”

If it wasn’t evident before, Celeste had decided to use her favorite mischievous maneuver on him: She had started pecking at Blathers belly. If Blathers wasn’t laughing before, he was certainly laughing now!

“EEEEHEEEHEEHEEHEEE!” Blathers struggled to push his sister’s face away.

“You give up yet?” Celeste asked.

“HAHAHAHA- NOHOHOHOHO!” Blathers shouted back.

“Well, suit yourself! Om nom nom nom nom!” Celeste resumed nibbling and pecking her brother’s belly. The laughter felt like it was NEVER gonna end!

But slowly, the laughter began to muffle slightly…And a new face began to fill his eyes.

Wait…this isn’t Celeste.

Is this one of Celeste’s friends? No, that would make no sense…

Wait…I recognize this person!

“Hooooo… WHO?!” Blathers widened his eyes and dropped his beak, staring almost behind you for a moment. Blathers quickly pulled himself together and scratched the back of his head. “Oh dear. Pardon me…” He muttered. He lit up. “ Good morning, [Player]!” He greeted. “Welcome to the [Name] Museum.”

You give Blathers a curious look.

Like magic, Blathers notices this look and tilts his head to the side. “Oh? What was I dreaming about?” Blathers asked out loud, a question mark appearing beside his head for a moment. “Hehe…Nothing of importance.” He muttered. “How may I be of service?”

Post-Christmas Games

Rudolph had successfully saved Christmas by leading Santa's sleigh through the blizzard. And now, Hermey and Rudolph play some games together and bond! But something serious has been going through Hermey's mind lately...

This fanfic was suggested by @westrentails. I hope you enjoy! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Gusts of wind could be felt all over the wintry forest in the North Pole. Though the world had been covered in a huge blizzard just a couple days ago, the snow storm had lessened somewhat.

And out in the middle of the cold, was a reindeer and a little elf running around, throwing snowballs at each other.

“Take that, Rudolph!” Hermey yelled, throwing a snowball at him.

“Haha! Hey!” He dodged the snowball and got into a ready stance. “Get back here!” He reacted, taking off after him.

Hermey took off running backwards, and threw another snowball. “NEVER!” He shouted before turning back around to properly make a getaway.

Rudolph dodged the snowball mid-run, before pausing and making a snowball with his hoof and throwing it at him.

Hermry yelped as the snowball hit his elf hat, knocking it to the ground. “Uh oh!” Hermey felt his head for the hat…but seeing how close Rudolph was to him, Hermey took off running without it.

Rudolph picked up the hat with his teeth, and ran with it in his mouth. “Y’u f’rgot y’ur hath!” Rudolph attempted to yell after him.

Hermey ignored Rudolph’s mumbled words and turned past a decorated evergreen tree. He didn’t want to get caught by Rudolph yet…but he also needed a break from all the running. So, like the child he was, Hermey looked around for a hiding spot. He searched through the piles of snow, but found no suitable pile to hollow out and hide in. Doing that, could mean burying himself in the snow, and everyone knew not to make a fort in the snow when it’s soft, fluffy snow.

But when he turned further to the left, Hermey came across a large, hollowed-out log. It was big enough that he’d be able to fit, but small enough that he would have to crouch to get in. But just by looking inside it, Hermey quickly knew this would be an amazing hiding spot. With no time to waste, Hermey crawled into the log and built a snow pile around the outer side of the log. He stayed quiet in the log, waiting for Rudolph’s hoofsteps to fill the air. He knew it was a matter of time until Rudolph found him…but for now, he was safe.

Hermey widened his eyes and turned his head towards the noise. It sounded like Rudolph! But at the same time, it also didn’t. The thing about fluffy snow was: every snow walk sounds very similar. The only thing that changes its sound, is the speed of the walking and the amount of walks. So even though it sounded like a reindeer, it could be any reindeer! Not only that, but Hermey couldn’t hear Rudolph’s nose shrieking either. So maybe it was someone else?

Hermey hunched himself further into the hollowed log. He was terrified of being caught this early into the snowball fight. Well…not terrified. He felt more…antsy than anything else. He hoped and begged it to just be Clarice, Donnor or even Fireball. They would be much safer people to come across.

“Herrrmeyyyyy…Where aaaaare youuuu?” Someone called. Oh NO! That IS Rudolph! And he’s doing the dreaded ‘teasy calls’ thing! He covered his mouth with one hand in an attempt to cover up the giggles that were already filling his lungs. With the other hand, Hermey attempted to cover up his closest ear so Rudolph’s teases didn’t get to him nearly as much. Rudolph, why?! How could you do this to me?!

“Iiiiii’m gonna getcha~” Rudolph teased out loud.

NO! RUDOLPH NOOO!

“And when I get you…” He could hear Rudolph saying.

Oh no…what’s he gonna do? What’s he gonna do?! He could already feel his lungs beginning to fail him.

“I’m gonna shove so much snow down your shirt and tickle you all over.” Rudolph declared.

WHAT?! NO! How about NO?!

“Maybe if you come out early…” Rudolph let out an evil giggle. “I could go easy on you.” He offered.

He felt a tiny giggle slip. “Hehe-” Hermey quickly covered his mouth with his other hand and looked up at the snow pile on his right side. He could see Rudolph’s shadow through the snow, with his bright, red nose shining through the snow as well. OH NO! NOT GOOD! Hermey closed his eyes and began to hope that Rudolph couldn’t see his shadow hidden within the log as well.

“But if you don’t…” Rudolph’s shadow got bigger and bigger. “I may juuuuust…”

Hermey could feel his breathing getting heavier. He’s gonna scare him. There’s no way he wouldn’t scare him! It was the perfect time to scare him! “GETCHA!” Rudolph blasted through all the snow, revealing himself at the right side of the log in front of Hermey.

“GAAAH!” Hermey quickly began crawling to his left to get out of the other side of the log. But right as he made it to the other side, Rudolph appeared in front of him again! “BAH!” Rudolph yelled.

Hermey squealed and laughed as he tried to turn himself around and crawl back into the log. But unfortunately for Hermey, Rudolph had reached in and grabbed the end of his elf coat to pull him out! Hermey shrieked as Rudolph dropped Hermey in the snow, and started tickling him with licks against the elf’s neck.

“eEEHEE! Rudolph NOHOHOhoho!” Hermey squeaked and giggled, attempting (but failing) to push Rudolph’s nose away.

“Looks like I found myself the perfect tickle elf for Christmas!” Rudolph teased in between licks.

“Pleheeeheeheease nohohoho! HAhahaha- Ihihi’m sorryyyy!” He laughed.

“Oh you’re sorry?” Rudolph asked. “You should’ve thought of that before you started a snowball fight with me.” Rudolph said with a smirk.

“Noho- No really! Ihihi’m sorryhyhyy! Stahahap plehehease!” He begged.

“Stop?! But I just started!” Rudolph reacted. “I’ve only tickled you for 2 seconds!” Rudolph told him.

“Ihi know, I know. Buhuhut-” Hermey squeaked as he felt Rudolph drop some snow into the back of his elf coat, before pushing it down with his red nose. “WAHAITNO! IHIT’S SO COLD!” He reacted.

Rudolph rolled his eyes. “Well yeah, duh. It’s snow! It’s supposed to be cold!” Rudolph reacted.

“Yohohou knohow what I mean.” Hermey argued.

Rudolph chuckled and shoved his nose in his belly this time. “How about some belly tickles, huh?” Rudolph started digging his nose in and licking the bare skin of his belly right in the middle of the snow.

This made Hermey spread out and kick his feet as overwhelming cackles and laughter left his mouth. “NAHAHAHAHAHA! AAHAHAHAhahaha! EHEHEEVIHIL! MEHEHEHEAN!” Hermey yelled at him.

Rudolph lifted his snout up to look at Hermey. “Of all the people to start calling me names…” Rudolph reacted with disappointment dripping from his mouth. “I am hurt, Hermey.” Rudolph said in a false offensive tone.

Hermey looked up, thinking he actually hurt him. “R-Rudolph-”

Rudolph’s fake offensive reaction quickly grew into a mischievous look. “Little name-callers get even MORE tickles!” Rudolph declared before lowering his snout and licking all over Hermey’s face and neck.

Hermey was left in absolute hysterics in only a matter of minutes. “BAHAHAHA! HAHAhahahahaha! RUHUHUDOHOLPH NOHOHO!” He cackled almost like a mad man.

“Your laugh is really loud!” Rudolph reacted. “I’d expect a loud laugh like that from Cornelius! But YOU!?” Rudolph reacted.

Hermey giggled and hid his face in his hands. “Dohohon’t mahahake fuhun of mehehehe.” He semi-ordered. “Ihihihit’s huhurtfuhul.” Hermey complained.

Rudolph chuckled. “I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, Hermey. I love your laugh. It’s so joyful and contagious. I’m fighting the urge to not laugh along with you!” Rudolph admitted.

“R-Reheally?” Hermey asked.

“100 percent.” Rudolph ensured.

Hermey smiled and looked at him. “Well, the good thing for you is…” Hermey smirked and picked up a bit of snow with his hands. “Little bullies get SNOW IN THEIR FACE!” He shoved a snowball against Rudolph’s snout and face.

Rudolph yelped and backed up, shaking the snow off his face. “HEY!” He yelled, licking the snow off his nose and lips.

Hermey crawled out from under Rudolph. “Hahaha! Gotcha!” He got onto his feet and took off running. “CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, RUDY!” Hermey yelled over his shoulder.

Rudolph smirked and took off running after him. “I’LL GET YOU BACK, JUST YOU WAIT!” Rudolph yelled back after him.

Hermey squeaked and sprinted across the snowy forest. He knew it was a matter of time until he was caught again. But what’s the fun in sitting there and taking it?! Now Rudolph has to work hard to get him back! It wasn’t fool-proof, but it was certainly temporary freedom.

Unfortunately though, Rudolph was getting closer and closer to him…and Hermey’s legs and lungs were beginning to fail him. In an attempt to preserve his energy, Hermey slowed himself down slightly.

But when Hermey did this, Rudolph just sped himself up and caught his friend with no difficulty at all! It was almost like he was a reindeer with much more endurance than Hermey. Who could’ve possibly guessed that Rudolph would catch up?!

Rudolph grabbed some more snow in his mouth and shoved it down the back of Hermey’s coat. “And now…tickle attack!” Rudolph shoved his nose into Hermey’s coat once again, and licked in every little crevice he could.

“NonoNOHOHO! BAHAHAhahaha! Haha- Nohohoho fahair!” Hermey reacted.

“Not fair?!” Rudolph reacted, lifting his head slightly. “And let me guess: you running away was considered fair?” Rudolph asked.

“Well-...Y-Yeah!” Hermey argued.

“Wrong choice, Hermey~” Rudolph said, resuming his tickle attack.

This only left Hermey in even more hysterics! “eeEEEHEEHEEHEEHEE! Ihi- GAHAhahaha! Haha- Ruhudolph- P-PLEHEHEHEASE!” Hermey cackled.

“Please what?” Rudolph asked. “Please…make it tickle more?” He asked not-so-innocently.

“Hahaha- NOHOHO DON’T!” Hermey yelled, interrupting himself.

“Hmmm…Do you mean ‘Please go somewhere else’?” Rudolph asked.

“Yehehes- WAHAITNO! Ihihi meheant no!” Hermey reacted.

“Okay…How about here?” Rudolph shoved his big snout right onto his belly button. “Is that better~?” he asked playfully.

Hermey gasped and tried to push Rudolph’s nose away. “aAAH NOT THERE! NOHOHOT THEHEHERE!” He shouted.

“Not the belly button? But it’s my new favorite spot to tickle!” Rudolph protested.

“IHIHI’M GOHONNA DIHIHIEEEHEEEHEEHEE!” He was visibly red from the laughter by this point.

“Ahalright, alright.” Rudolph removed his face from his belly button. “Is that better?” Rudolph asked.

Hermey huffed and puffed somewhat loudly as he slowly attempted to recover. He felt physically tired, and a little bit hot from the tickles and endurance used. And everytime he breathed out, many little giggles left his mouth as well. It was funny, albeit slightly annoying. But all he knew right now, was gratefulness for the ability to properly breathe again.

“I didn’t kill you, did I?” Rudolph asked him.

Hermey shook his head and adjusted his coat. “No…No, you didn’t.” Hermey admitted.

“Okay…good.” Rudolph offered Hermey an antler to help him up.

Hermey took the lower antler and got up with his help. “Thank you, Rudolph.” Hermey replied. “Now…where’s my hat?” He asked.

Rudolph looked around, and suddenly realized he had dropped it mid-chase. “Oh no…I don’t remember where it went.” Rudolph admitted.

“Oh…that’s okay. We can look for it another time. I have dozens of hats back home.” Hermey told him.

The two boys walked back to the elf town, and chatted as they walked.

“But…I do need to know something:” Hermey looked up at Rudolph with slight sadness and betrayal in his eyes. “Why did you leave?” Hermey asked.

Rudolph stopped in his tracks. “...Leave?” He asked for clarification.

“On the Island of Misfit toys.” Hermey told him. “We fell asleep with you laying between us…and when we woke up the next morning, you were gone.” Hermey told him. “We couldn’t find you anywhere.” Hermey told him.

Rudolph looked down, feeling guilty and regretful. “I…” He looked back up at Hermey. “I didn’t want to risk getting you and Cornelius in danger with my nose.” Rudolph admitted.

Hermey was taken aback by this. “...Why would we be in danger-”

“Because my nose is loud and bright!” Rudolph complained. “When the abominable Snow Monster was around, you covered up my nose so he didn’t hear it!” Rudolph explained. “If the abominable snow monster could see my nose, I grew terrified that me being there would put you and Cornelius in danger again.” Rudolph explained. “So…I left…to save your lives and risk my own.” Rudolph admitted.

Hermey wrapped his arms around Rudolph’s chest. “I’m sorry…You never once put us in danger. You were the only close misfit friend I had.” Hermey admitted. “When you were gone, I felt…lost. More lost than ever.” Hermey admitted.

Rudolph laid down in the snow for a bit. “I’m sorry I ran away without telling you.” He told him.

“I forgive you.” Hermey said. “But please…don’t leave us like that ever again.” Hermey semi-ordered, poking Rudolph’s back.

Rudolph placed his head on Hermey’s shoulder and closed his eyes. “I won’t…” He promised him. “Never again.”
