Only When I Laugh

Only When I Laugh is the first segment of an episode of Little Clowns of Happytown.

## Synopsis

The Little Clowns are getting ready to perform magic at Clown School. Big Top wonders where Hiccup is and Blooper tells him she had to go to the hospital. However, when Pranky performs a magic trick, Hiccup appears out of the cannon, landing on a trampoline. Hiccup then feels dizzy and faints. She wakes up in the hospital where she finds her family and friends surrounding her and her mother scolds her for going to school. Hiccup admits she is scared and is terrified to see two doctors come in the room. One is Doctor Babblecousin and the other is a human woman, who explain that they are there to help her feel better. They examine her and tell her that she needs to have her tonsils removed. Hiccup is scared, but Big Top tells her she has nothing to worry about because she will get ice cream. The doctors tell Hiccup she needs to have an operation and she refuses to go through with it. Bebad tells Geek and Whiner they are going to pay a little visit to the hospital. Hiccup makes a new friend named Steve and they plan to leave the hospital together. Geek and Whiner, disguised as nurses, give Hiccup some gloomy flowers but they end up glooming Steve. Hiccup notices Steve's sudden change in behavior and discovers the note from Bebad. She goes after him as he tries to leave the hospital and he orders Geek and Whiner to take care of business. As the Little Clowns come to visit Hiccup, they see her chasing after Steve and help, along with Doctor Babblecousin. Steve hides in a load of laundry and Hiccup frantically searches for him, eventually finding him. Steve tells her how much he hates doctors and refuses to go through with his operation. Big Top and Tickles help him and Hiccup understand that the doctor is their friend and there to help them get better. Steve still isn't sure and Doctor Babblecousin tries to cheer him up, then realizes this is all the work of Bebad. Geek and Whiner try to go after the Little Clowns as they beat Bebad by bringing him to the playroom to make him laugh. The Little Clowns are proud when Bebad chases Geek and Whiner out, and Hiccup and Steve get ready to have their operations. Afterward, the Little Clowns and Hiccup's parents come to see her. Steve is disguised as a doctor who leads them all to the playroom where Hiccup is having fun. She wishes to come back to the hospital soon, and Doctor Babblecousin rewards her with a certificate.
