Dawn and Joanne lived next door to each other and had been best friends since they were toddlers. Every chance they got, they would meet to play their favorite game.

The game wasn't just any game, it was a tickling game. Whenever they played it, laughter filled the whole house, making it seem warmer and more cheerful.

One typical Saturday, Joanne was over at Dawn's home. They were in the middle of their fun-filled game, tickling each other and laughing their hearts out.

Just as Dawn was about to give Joanne a hefty tickle, the front door swung open, and in walked Joanne's mother.

"Hello, girls!" greeted Joanne’s mother cheerfully. "What game are you playing?" Her curiosity piqued upon hearing all the laughter.

Dawn and Joanne looked at each other and giggled. "We're playing the tickling game, would you like to join us?" Dawn replied.

Joanne's mother looked surprised but then her green eyes sparkled with excitement. "That sounds like fun! I would love to join," she said.

With Joanne's mother added to the mix, their small duo turned into a thrilling trio. The tickling game started anew with even more laughter and excitement.

Joanne's mother proved to be a tickling expert. She knew all the ticklish spots and how to make the girls laugh even harder.

The trio took turns being the tickler and the tickled. No corner of the room was safe and the house was alive with their giggles and guffaws.

The best part was the unexpected tickles. These made them laugh the hardest and made the game even more thrilling.

After hours of playing, they decided to take a break. Joanne's mother went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks.

Meanwhile, Dawn and Joanne sat on the couch, their faces red and their bodies tired but their spirits high.

"Joanne, your mum is really good at this game!" said Dawn, still trying to catch her breath. Joanne nodded, giggling at the memory of her mother's tickles.

Joanne's mother returned with a plate full of cookies and glasses of lemonade. The trio sat together, enjoying the snacks and sharing stories.

After their break, the trio decided to play another round of the tickling game. They brought out their best tickling tactics, ready for more fun.

The tickling continued for hours, each round more exciting than the last. The house echoed with the sound of their laughter.

Eventually, the girls decided it was time to stop. Their bellies hurt from all the laughing, and their faces were flushed from the exhilarating game.

"I haven't laughed this much in a long time!" Joanne's mother admitted, wiping her teary eyes. "Thank you for letting me join your game."

"We should do this more often!" Dawn suggested excitedly. Joanne nodded in agreement, already looking forward to their next game.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," Joanne's mother said with a grin, showing they had just formed their official Tickling Trio.

The rest of the day went by with a peaceful calm. The friends shared more stories, smiles, and a few more cookies, basking in the afterglow of their delightful day.

As the sun began to set, Joanne and her mother said their goodbyes. They promised to come back soon for another round of the tickling game.

Dawn waved them goodbye, a broad grin on her face. She went inside, already excited about the upcoming tickling session.

The Tickling Trio was a momentous event in their lives. It added a new dimension to their friendship, making their bond even stronger and their days even brighter.
