'Still not laughing?... ' Chef stopped tickling for a moment & looked at Branch surprised. 'Are you trying to be tough?... - Because you surely didn't forget how to laugh, right?' she asked. 'I'm afraid that he Did' answered Creek with a sad face. 'Nonsense! - All Trolls are Happy!' said Chef with a smile. 'He isn't...' answered Dj Suki & all the other caged Trolls shook their heads with serious faces. 

'Really?' Chef asked them. 'Unfortunately yes' answered Creek. 'So he needs some more of This!' Chef answered happily & moved the feather in the air next to Branch's right armpit. Branch answered 'Oh no, I don't...!' & tried to move away from the feather, but he couldn't. 'Trust me - I know what I'm saying!' said Chef in a sweet tone & tickled him again. Branch still didn't feel like laughing - he just firmly closed his eyes, bit his lip & stayed quiet so Chef smiled in a friendly way & said 'Someone is stubborn here!'. 

Branch opened his eyes, looked at Chef with a frown & answered 'I am not going... to tell you... Anything!'. Chef laughed shortly & answered 'And you don't have to!... - I haven't asked you any question at the moment'. Branch got surprised & asked her 'So what do you... Want from me?'. 'I just want to hear you laugh' answered Chef honestly. 'And that's... All?' Branch asked her. 'Yes, that's All !' she confirmed 'I hope it's not too difficult for you'. She stopped tickling his right armpit & looked at him playfully. 

'Why do you want me to laugh?' Branch asked looking at her carefully. 'Cause I already heard Them All laugh - so it would be nice to hear You laugh too' answered Chef 'Can you do that?'. 'I think I'll have no choice if you keep using that feather...' said Branch looking at the long white feather Chef was holding in her hand. 'So you are ticklish too?' she asked him with a smile. 'Yes, I Am ...' Branch confessed '& I think I won't manage to stay quiet any longer... '. 'Good' answered Chef & tickled his left foot with a feather. 

Branch opened his eyes really wide & gasped suddenly so Chef noticed with a smile 'Seems that we're having some progress at last!... - You made a sound, but I am still waiting to hear your laugh... - That's all I'm Asking For!'. She tickled him a bit faster so Branch first opened his mouth silently as if he wasn't sure if he should laugh or not or as if he was preparing for it - & a second later he Finally Started to Laugh! He sounded like this:

And the upper part of his hair, the first & highest millimeter on the very top of it changed its color from 'sad Black' into 'Happy Blue'! & his fellow Trolls noticed it.
