Bella and Lilac remained in thought and Bella was becoming increasingly nervous. Finally, Bella said her thoughts.

"Um…so I think that Jest has me and Jape has Lilac!" Bella said. There was silence for a moment and then King Lauhin's voice rang through the room.

"That is incorrect my dear."

Bella put her head down and immediately squirmed off the brother's lap and headed towards the door.

"Wait! Bella wait a minute!" Lilac called. But the minute Bella went to open the door, she bumped into King Lauhin's chest.

"Now where are you going?" he grinned, now looking down at her.

"Your Highness. I apologize I failed the task your majesty and I don't think I'm the right person for this game," Bella said sadly, now trying to get past him.

"Now that is enough out of you," he chuckled, now reaching down and throwing her over his shoulder. Bella squeaked in alarm as he took her out of the room and to his throne room. "You shouldn't be afraid of this task. This is only to have you become more acquainted with them. Now listen, if I see you becoming stressed and upset again, I will personally bring you back in here and tickle you for the rest of the night."

"B-But…"

"No buts." He grinned, now kissing her on the nose as he placed her back in his arms. "Now go and have some fun and relax!"

And with that, Bella was teleported back to the room. Lilac was there waiting for her with a devious smile.

"Now then…if you don't help me figure who these two are, I will tickle you myself!" Lilac teased, now standing up and grabbing her friend playfully and hugging her. Bella giggled and hugged her back.

"I think I'm ready now." She smiled. She then looked at the same brothers that had them and whispered something to Lilac and Lilac agreed.

"The one holding Bella was Jape and the one holding me was Blithe!" Lilac called out. The brothers looked at each other and then stood up and wiped the paint from their faces!

"Were we right?!" Bella asked eagerly.

"Bingo!" Blithe winked at her now revealing his dark green face, now walking over and hugging her. "See? That wasn't so bad now was it?"

"No. It was actually fun," Bella admitted.

"Well done you two," Jape grinned, now sitting off to the side and motioning for Blithe to join him.

"Well done you two! So you have figured out which ones were Blithe and Jape. Now you have five more of my sons to go," King Lauhin's voice rang happily through the room.

Both girls giggled and stared at the two more muscular brothers and the others that were medium in muscle build.

"I'll bet those last two big ones are Jocu and Jest," Bella said.

"But don't be too sure. Look!"

And with that, both girls saw that it was not very easy to tell the difference between them. Especially since Jovi had also become more muscular since their last visit.

"Oh dear," Bella said, now scratching her head.

"Hmmm…ok, let's look at their body language for a moment." Lilac said, observing them. Both brothers were sitting, but definitely in different ways. One of them had their arms draped over the back of the chair and one had their arms folded across their chest. But the minute they thought they had the answer, both brothers switched positions!

"They're toying with us!" Bella pouted.

"You guys aren't gonna make this easy are you?!" Lilac said in shock. Both shook their heads and it wasn't long before all five were chuckling in amusement.

"Great! Now what?!" Bella said as she face palmed.

"Hmmm…Lauhin said they can't stand up right?"

"Right."

"Ok follow my lead!" Lilac smiled, now walking over to one and scratching behind his ears. She got a low growl of happiness in return and he almost seemed to move his neck over more so she could scratch him more. Bella then planted a small playful kiss in the crease of one of their necks and could see him shift because it tickled and he turned and gave her a playful poke in return.

Lilac then made a desperate move and pulled the hood down over one of their eyes. Now blinded, he blindly began feeling around for her. As she tried to tickle his stomach, he pulled her to where she was literally over his shoulder!

"H-Hey! Put me down!" She squeaked. But she felt him taking off her shoes and socks! "HEY! Bella help me!" she giggled. One thing about this brother was that he was very strong; so much that even her squirming didn't affect him. She could tell because she heard him chuckling while he tickled her.

Bella looked over and saw Lilac was helplessly laying over one of the brother's shoulders and he was beginning to tickle her defenseless toes.

"I'm coming!" she called. But before she could get far, she was grabbed and this brother began gently biting around her neck and then digging his fingers into her stomach! It sent her into hysterics! But no matter how much she squirmed, his fingers followed her and were lethal! She then jumped to her feet, but his tail split into three and began tickling her neck, behind her ears, and going for one of her worst spots: the shoulder blades! It was tickling her like mad!

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! HEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHELP ME!" Bella cried out in glee.

"Let her go!" Lilac laughed, now trying to get free of her current captor.

"No listen you! You let me go!" Bella laughed out, now looking at the brother.

But the response she got was a deep chuckle and he just continued to go after her worse spots. Meanwhile, Lilac was now wrestling with the brother that had her. She gently pulled at his hair and she got a playful growl in response. Not only did he flip her back over on his lap, but he then loomed his fingers over her, like he was going to give her the worst tickling of her life!

guestsurprise: What do you think guys? This one will be a bit harder, but there is a difference between these two. :)

newbienovelistRD: Top notch, Amiga! I've always wanted to say that! :)
