The Tickle Bodge or Watch: Chapter 1

"Okay, guys! We've got an all-new bodge or watch for today!" Don said cheerfully. "Today's challenge needs only four of 36 of you!"

"Only four players out of all 36 of us?" Emma asked.

"Yup!" Don answered with a smile.

A robot appears and stands next to Don.

"This robot, who is standing beside me, will determine the 4 lucky teams and their bodger!" Don said.

The robot smiles and starts to determine the 4 lucky teams and their bodger. The images of the Rockers, Police Cadets, Sisters and Ice Dancers appear and Spud, Sanders, Emma and Josse's images appears below the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the order mentioned above.

"For the Rockers is Spud!"

"Wahoo!" Spud cheered.

"Sanders for the Police Cadets!"

"Sure!" Sanders said.

"Emma for the Sisters!"

Emma shrugged with a frown while Kitty pokes her belly, making her laugh and smile.

"And Josse for the Ice Dancers!"

"Okay!" Josse said.

"Alright! Follow me, everyone!" Don said, waving his hand.

The teams follow Don as the robot leaves the area. Suddenly, they stop.

"What IS this bodge or watch anyway?" Spud asked.

"Maybe it's something to make you laugh!" Rock said before squeezing Spud's sides.

"Hehehehe! Rohohock, that tickles!" Spud giggled.

"Oh! Sorry!" Rock apologized.

"Okay! Spud, Sanders, Emma, Josse, here's your challenge!" Don said, pointing behind him.

While Don is pointing, there is a chair in front of a machine. In front of the chair is a pair of stocks.

The contestants were confused.

"Um...what are we doing exactly?" Spud asked.

Don smiled.

"Whoever lasts 20 minutes being tickled by the machine wins for their team!" Don said.

Spud, Sanders, Emma and Josse's mouths dropped.

"WHAT?!" Spud cried in a funny voice that made him and the others laugh.

"Whoa! That's it?" Kitty asked.

"I can do it! I can handle it!" Spud said.

"Me two!" Sanders said.

"So can I!" Emma and Josse said in unison.

"We'll see about that!" Don said.

(Interview)

"Hahahaha! This'll be fun! Getting tickled by a machine for 20 minutes is awesome!" Kitty said.

"Yeah! Awesome for you to watch me get tickled!" Emma said, looking a bit grouchy.

"Don't be a grouch, Emma! Laugh it off!" Kitty said before tickling Emma. "Coochie coochie coo!"

"MMMHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Emma laughed.

(Challenge)

"Spud, you're up first!" Don said, pointing to the chair.

(Interview)

"Rock, I can't last being tickled for 20 minutes! I'm too ticklish!" Spud said.

"Don't worry, buddy! I believe in you!" Rock said.

"Okay..." Spud said.

(Challenge)

Spud sits in the chair and sighs as Don ties his arms above his head, puts his feet in the stocks and takes off his shoes and socks. Spud then takes a deep breath.

"Okay! The machine will tickle you any way it wants! It has many tickle instruments, so its gonna be pretty creative!" Don said. "And....go!"

Spud shuts his eyes...
