Walking through Tangle Forest, you hear sounds of a scuffle nearby... "Gotcha~!" "H-hey! Lemme go!!" "Aw, don't freak out! It's just us~!"

Confused as to what's going on, you sneak towards the sources of the sounds, hiding in a bush and observing...

You see three women; Rottytops, Risky Boots and... oh my word, they've got Shantae! She sits on the ground as her wrists are held above her head by Risky, Rotty on her knees in front of Shantae as her fingers twitch with excitement.

"Aw, Shantae, look at this pretty tummy you've got..." Rotty giggled. Shantae's eyes widen as she speaks in a seemingly panicked tone. "H-hey! Wait! Don't do something you might regret!!" Risky chuckles, rolling her eyes. "You say that like you're deathly ticklish or something..." What do you do? Watch? Intervene? Join in? What?
