15 June
We heard this morning that a large adult male Lion was at the waterhole at Savuti drinking and got there in time to see it before it wandered off. It put on good spectacle with lots of roaring and facing the tourists gawking at him.
We headed north up to Ihaha campsite, still within Chobe NP. It was sandy again but not as bumpy as the day before. Stopped to buy some locally made woven baskets and a carved wooden giraffe. On the way into our campsite Max spotted a Leopard, our third for the trip.
Our fridge is on its last legs as the second battery hasn’t really being working since we picked up the car in Windhoek. Jarod did a bit of DIY mechanics but the battery connection is faulty. Lucky we only have 1 more night in the car.
It’s not the only issue we’ve had and overcome. The latch on the door covering the fridge had worn through and kept opening up whilst driving and the fridge would slide out. Another DIY fix and we have managed. A chain broke on the fold down kids bed and Jarod fixed it. This afternoon Finlay discovered that a 5 Litre bottle of water leaked out and soaked into clothes in the storage area in the back of the car, mostly Finlay’s were affected, have dried them out around the fire, using the ladder as a makeshift clothes airer.
We had a good drive around the park and there is abundant wildlife along Chobe River. Namibia is just across the other side and our campsite overlooks the river.
Once back from our drive it wasn’t long before we saw a huge herd of water buffalo crossing the river so we jumped in the car to have a look and continued driving further along to towards Kasane.
Jarod drove too close to a buffalo and it started to charge at us 🙄.
We returned and the camp manager came along and alerted us to a pack of Cheetahs that were hanging out near where the Buffalo crossed. Max amazingly spotted them in the shade of a tree, a pack of 6, our first Cheetahs in the wild.
A beautiful sunset tonight with Elephants along the Chobe River.
We were told lions and a leopard have been hanging around the campsites so we keep our usual lookout.

Easter Games
Word Count: 1397
Summary: Y/n and Tony play some competitive Easter games with a twist.
“I have 29 Easter eggs! How many do you have?” You asked Tony when you came across him in the kitchen.
Both of you were running around the Avenger’s Tower trying to find the most eggs. Steve had hidden 100 eggs in many different hiding places and the game lasted 20 minutes. At this point, 10 minutes had passed.
You thought that you were winning and you were proved right when Tony answered, “Only 15, how did you find so many already?”
“I will never tell my secrets!” You yelled while running out of the kitchen and into the living room.
By the end of the 20 minutes, you were looking in the library and you had found a total of 63 eggs. You knew that you had won because you had gotten more than 50% of the eggs and this made you extremely happy. There were two more Easter games to get through and you really wanted to be the overall winner. The punishment for the loser was perfect if you were to win because then you could get Tony back. This was finally your chance to give him a taste of his own medicine, you just had to win 2 out of the 3 games.
You met up with Tony and Steve in the living room. They were counting the amount of eggs that Uncle Tony had found.
You laughed because you had been keeping track the whole time and you already knew that you won, “No need to finish counting, I have 63 eggs which means that I win!”
Steve congratulated you while Tony said, “Don’t be so happy, kid, there are still two more games and I am going to win both!”
You glared at him playfully while Steve started to explain that the next game was an obstacle course that had to be completed by bunny hopping the whole time.
The both of you raced all around the tower with Steve jogging beside you. He was calling out different places to go to make the race longer and there were some obstacles along the way.
Suddenly, he yelled out the final part of the race, “First person to my room is the winner!”
At that moment, you were all in Bruce’s room which was five doors away from Steve’s room. You felt how close you were but unfortunately for you, Tony was closer to the door. By the time you had gotten out of Bruce’s room, Tony was about to enter Steve’s room. You tried to catch up but it was no use.
You were sad that you didn’t win but you didn’t let it stop you. The final game was your specialty. A scavenger hunt. For as long as you had been an Avenger, you had always won this game against the group.
Tony seemed to notice this too, “A scavenger hunt?! Y/n is the best at this game. She always wins! Can we choose a game that I always win instead?”
“Sorry Tony, I already planned this out, so you will just have to deal with it,” Steve replied to Tony while chuckling.
Steve gave you and Tony the list of items that needed to be found and immediately said, “Go!”
You ran away from them while reading the list. All the items were normal things like Peter’s favorite coffee mug and you found them easily. When you had all of your items in the bag that you were carrying around, you looked over the paper to read the last instruction. To win the scavenger hunt and the overall Easter competition, you needed to go in front of the Avenger Tower and touch the gigantic Easter egg that was set up for Easter decorations.
You raced to the elevator and immediately went to the first floor. When you go there you started running outside. You didn’t see Tony anywhere but you still sprinted to get to the egg as if you were racing someone. You slammed your hand against the egg and started squealing in excitement.
You headed back inside and saw Steve standing there, “Good job, Y/n! You won! Go give the loser his punishment.”
“Oh I will, don’t worry,” You replied and got in the elevator to go upstairs.
When you got upstairs, you walked into the living room right when Tony ran in. He immediately stopped when he saw you and looked at you for a second.
You were sure that your happy and excited state already told him what he wondered about but you still yelled, “I won! I beat you! Get ready for your punishment, loser! I’ll make sure that it tickles like hell!”
“Fine, fine. You win, I guess,” Tony said looking a little disappointed.
“Aww, don’t be sad Tony, I’ll cheer you up!” You said while you marched over to him and pulled him to the couch. You pushed him down on the couch and straddled him.
He was looking a little scared which made you giggle. He had done this so many times to you and you were finally going to get him back. You just hoped that you could hold him down. Tony was a lot stronger than and that had helped him with your previous tickle experiences against him.
When the both of you had settled into your positions you didn’t give Tony enough time to speak, you just dug your fingers into his armpits. He started laughing but not very hard. He squeezed his arms to his sides, trapping your fingers in his armpits. This caused you to vibrate your fingers.
Tony started laughing a little louder and said, “Ihaha aham dahahone! Sorry, kid!”
In the middle of what he was saying, Tony had flipped the both of you around so that you were against the couch and he was straddling your waist.
“What- What are you doing, Tony? You lost and tickling was your punishment!” You were struggling to get out from under him when he grabbed both of your wrists in one hand and them above your head.
“Exactly, it was and you were doing really well for the 5 seconds that you were tickling me but I think it’s your turn. Now, do you have all your ribs?” Tony didn’t waste any time and started gently scratching at your ribs. You started giggling immediately. He hit a weak spot on your upper ribs and you started squirming more.
“Tohahany! Nohoho!”
“Darn it! You messed me up! I’m going to have to start all over. One... two... three... four...” Tony kept going on and on. For every rib he would try a different technique. Some of your ribs were counted with vibrating fingers while others were squeezed.
It tickled so much and you couldn’t really comprehend what was happening. Weren’t you supposed to be the one tickling Tony? The Easter competition didn’t seem to matter anymore as Tony was the one that was tickling the laughter out of you.
When Tony was done “counting” your ribs his fingers started creeping up into one of your armpits. Your arms immediately started pulling against his grip on your wrists. Tony’s grip on your wrists didn’t loosen at all and you could only squirm on the couch.
You squealed when Tony got to your armpit and started laughing, “Nah- Ahahahaha, plehahahahaha! Stohahahaha!”
“I’m sorry, Y/n. I can’t quite understand what you were saying, can you repeat yourself?” You heard the teasing undertone of Tony’s words but he said it with a serious face. Your laughter increased when Tony started tracing his fingers lightly in your armpit. The lightness was sending tingling sensations through your armpit.
Like all the other times Tony tickled you, the feeling was unbearable. But also like the other times, you didn’t hate it. You actually liked it but you would never tell Tony that.
You were still laughing when Tony suddenly moved his hand to the hem of your shirt and pulled it up to show your belly button. Your death spot.
“DOHAHA-” You started to protest but your laughter quickly turned silent when Tony started tickling your belly button.
Tony kept tickling you for a little while longer until he finally stopped and got off of you. He let you sit up and catch your breath.
“TONY!” You shrieked, “Why did you do that? I was supposed to tickle you!”
“Sorry, kid.”

Mahiru, watch out. Hajime's coming to tickle you to death afterwards.
Yeah, I can see him sneaking up on me...
I’m...not sneaking up on anyone...
I just wanted to ask you if I could, but it’s kind of an awkward question to ask...
What question?
Can I tickle you?
...
F-Fine...But only because they asked...
Thank you Mahiru...
But...can we go into either my or your room before we do?
Of course...
I’m surprised you’re going along with this so willingly.
If it’ll get the anons off my back, then fine...
Ok then...well...
*Hajime reaches and starts to tickle Mahiru’s sides...
!!!
Hah...looks like I got it in one...
I already know I’m going to hate this...
Too late!
Ah! Ahahahahahha! HAHA! AHAHA!
*A few minutes later...
Ah...ah...
Ok, I’m done...sorry about that...
It’s fine. It’s more than fine...
Um...what are you doing?
...
N-No...
...
No don’t...!
...
Please Mahiru, don’t!
...
I’m begging you! Please don’t!
Too late! I got you!
Aha! HAAHHAHA! N-No Stop Please!
Nope!
F-Fine...Then Ihaha-I’ll get you!
Aha no!
//This made my heart happy
