In The Balloon, Poppy Looked Out, The Wind Flowing In Her Hair. Z Took Out The Scroll From Her Hair And Started Looking Through It. While Branch In A Captain's Hat, Carried A Giant Manual For The Balloon.
"Alright. In A Short 456 Pages, I'm Gonna Know How To Fly This Thing." Branch Said As He Popped His Knuckles. Before He Could Start Reading, Poppy Took The Book From Him.
"Uh, Branch, We Don't Need A Giant Comprehensive Manual." Poppy Informed Chuckling A Bit. She Then Tossed The Manual Off The Balloon, Making Branch Gasp.
"Uh, Poppy, Are You Know What You're Doing?" Z Asked, A Little Worried.
"Of Course I Know What I'm Doing. How Hard Can It Be?" Poppy Said As She Went To The Controls.
"Try One Of These." Poppy Sang To Herself As She Pressed A Button. The Balloon Was Jerked Backwards And Traveled To All The Troll Lands Quickly Before Stopping Right Where It Was Before.
"Alright, Poppy! Easy On The Buttons!" The Balloon Shouted.
"Sorry." Poppy Smiled Sheepishly. They Were Interrupted By Snoring.
"Shh. What Was That?" Branch Asked.
The Three Trolls Turned Around To Where The Sound Was Coming From And Saw It Came From The Cotton Candy. They Moved It And Saw Alseep With Mr. Dinkles Sucking His Finger.
"Biggie?" Poppy Asked With A Smile. Biggie Woke Up To See All Three Of The Trolls.
"Oh! Hello. Sorry. I Couldn't Help Myself. You Know How I Am Around Cotton Candy." Biggie Said A Bit Embarrassed As He Tried To Get Mr. Dinkles Unstuck From His Hand. "Oh Dear. Look What's Happened. Mr. Dinkles Got All Gummed Up."
He Tried To Shake Mr. Dinkles Off His Hand, But Shook Too Hard And Sent Mr. Dinkles Over The Edge.
"Oh! Mr. Dinkles! Mr. Dinkles!" Biggie Shouted Over The Edge, Looked Down, Saw Mr. Dinkles Stuck On The Side, Then Said As He Grabbed Mr. Dinkles. "Oh There You Are! Thank You! Phew! Right Then, We'll Just Be On Our Way-".
When Biggie Looked Over The Edge He Exclaimed.
"Poppy! Where Are You Balloon Flying Us To?" Biggie Asked Frightened.
"We're On A Mission To Help Barb Unite The Trolls And I'm So Glad You're Coming With Us!" Poppy Told Him While Branch And Z Was Trying To Signal Biggie Telling Him It Wasn't Their Idea.
"I Did What In The Who Now?!" Biggie Exclaimed.
"Hey Man, Join The Club." Branch Said.
"And I Hope You Didn't Eat All The Cotton Candy Because Barb Is Gonna Love It." Poppy Said.
Poppy Then Noticed Branch And Z Was Trying To Hide Something.
"Branchier? Elizabeth?" Poppy Asked Suspiciously.
They Cleared Their Throats.
"Yes, Poppifer?" Branch And Z Answered Nervously.
"What Is This?" Poppy Asked Them While Getting Closer.
"Oh. It's Nothing. Nothing. That-That-That-That's Just My Man Stuff." He Stuttered.
"Yeah, And My Girl Stuff Is Also In There." Z Said Nervously.
"I Love Man And Girl Stuff!" Poppy Exclaimed.
Poppy Opened It Only To See Sharp Sticks And Rocks.
"Weapons?" Poppy Asked In Shocked Then Continued. "For Shame, Branch. Z."
"Well We-" Branch And Z Stammered.
"Voilence Never Solves A Problem Branch And Z." Poppy Said.
She Threw A Stick Which Landed In Mr.Dinkles Mouth. Biggie Exclaimed And Popped It Out. It Almost Hit Z Until She Caught It Without Even Looking.
"We're Not Saying We Have To Use Them; We're Just Saying It's Better To Be Prepared In Case We Need Them." Z Pointed Out Enunciating The Last Part.
"We Won't Need Them Unless These Pointy Sticks Help You Two Listen And These Rocks Help You Guys Put Yourselves Someone Else's Shoes." Poppy Stated Picking Up A Stick And Rock, Then Found A Golden-Brass Knuckle And Asked. "And What About This? I-I-I-Is This Some Sort Of Jewel - Oh It's Actually Kinda Cool-Looking." She Sang A Note.
"Give Us That!" Branch And Z Exclaimed Struggling To Get It Back From Her. Eventually She Gave It Back To Them. "We Don't Even Know What's Out There." Branch Said.
She Looked At Z And Branch And Gave Them An Affirmative Smile. They Smiled Back. Poppy Knew They Were Distracted And Kicked The Weapons Over The Edge.
"Wiat! No-!" They Shouted But It Was Already Too Late; Branch Groaned, "Oh Man. By The Way, Z And I Whiddled Those Four Hours."
"Guys, The Weapons We Need, Are This Guy And This Guy..." Poppy Started While Flexing. "For Hugs!"
"Uh, You May Want To Take A Look At This." Biggie Suggested.
Poppy, Branch, Z, Biggie And Mr. Dinkles Look To See A Destroyed Village.
"This Is Gonna Take A Lot Of Hugs." Z Said.
They Land In The Village And Look Around. By The Looks Of The Place, It Looks Like This Place Belongs To The Classical Trolls.
"Something Gnarly Happened Here." Branch Says.
"Hello?" A Little Voice Says To Them.
"Who Said That? Identify Yourself." Branch Says To The Voice.
"Uh, Are You Nice Or Are You Mean?" The Voice Asks.
"We're Nice. We're Really Nice." Poppy Answers.
"Yeah, But Not Too Nice. So Don't Even Try It." Branch Said In A Threating Way.
"Branch." Z Said Quietly As She Nudge Him With Her Foot.
"Okay." The Voice Said As A Flute Peaks Out From Behind A Pile Of Sand. Z Rushed Over To The Flute And Picks It Up Softly.
"Hi" The Flute Greeted
"What Is This Place?" Poppy Asked As She Stands Next To Z.
"It Used To Be Called Symphinyville. Where The Classical Music Trolls Lived. But That Was In The Before." The Flute Answers.
"What Happened Here?" Z Asked.
"Well, It Was The Most Wonderful Place You Ever Did See. It Was A Place Where All Of The Classical Music Trolls Could Live In Perfect Harmony. Wherever The Conduct Led, We Followed. But Then Queen Barb Showed Up. She Took Our String. Our Music. She Took Everyone. We Lost Everything." The Flute Told Them. It Was Quiet For A While.
"Barb Doesn't Want To Unite Us. She Wants To Destroy Us." Poppy Said.
"We Need To Make Sure Our Own String Is Safe." Branch Says He And Z Walks Up To Poppy.
"Our String Is Safe." Poppy Said Before Pulling The Pop String Out Of Her Hair. They Gasp In Surprise.
"What?! Poppy Are You Crazy?" Branch Asks Poppy.
"I Thought It Was A Good Idea At The Time. I Can't Believe Another Queen Would Use Her Power For Evil." Poppy Said To Branch.
"Okay. Change Of Plans. We Need To Get Home As Fast As We Can And Get Everyone In The Bunker." Z Says.
"Uh, No. Change Of Plans. We Have To Stop Barb From Destroying All Music. If Don't Stop Her, Who Will?" Asked Poppy.
"Poppy, You Said This Could Be Handled With Hugs. How Are We Gonna Hug Our Way Out Of This One?" Biggie Asks He Starts To Freak Out.
"Biggie, Calm Down. Nothing Bad Happened To Us Yet." Z Said.
"It's Okay, Biggie." Poppy Said.
"Really? It's Okay To Be Terrified? When Am I Gonna Learn To Stay Away From The Cotton Candy?!" Biggie Asked With More Fear In His Voice.
"Never." Z Whispered To Branch, Who Nodded.
"No. As Your Queen, I Promise That I Will Protect You No Matter What. I... Pinky Promise." Poppy Said As She Held Out Her Pinky.
Biggie Gasps As He Turns Around To Face Poppy.
"Poppy, You Can't Go Back On A Pinky Promise." Biggie Says To Her.
"Never Did, Never Will." Poppy Said.
Biggie And Poppy Linked Their Pinkies Together And They Started To Levitate As Pink Glitter Started To Appear Around Them. The Pink Glitter Then Started To Blow Everywhere, Causing The Hot Air Balloon To Fly Off. The Outburst Was Sent Out To Where Even Cooper Felt It.
"A Pinky Promise! Dang." He Said.
Back At Symphonyville, The Glitter Disappears And Biggie And Poppy Land Back On The Ground.
"Let It Be So." Poppy Said.
"And So It Is." Biggie Says Afterwards.
Z And Branch Scoffed And Rolled Their Eyes.
"This Just Got Real." The Flute Said Behind Them.
Poppy Opens A Map Of The Troll Kingdom And Placed It On The Ground.
"We Have To Get To The Country Music Trolls In Lonesome Flats Before Barb Does." Poppy Says To Them.
Z Turns Around And Faces The Flute.
"Will You Come Us?" Z Asked The Flute.
"Oh, No. Someone Has To Rebuild. And Pennywhistle Is That Woodwind For The Job." The Flute, Also Known As Pennywhistle Said.
Z Walks Over And Puts A Construction Builder's Hat On Pennywhistle.
"Good Luck, Little Pennywhistle."
"Goodbye, Z." Pennywhistle Says.
They Start Walking Towards The Country Trolls In Lonesome Flats.
The Rock Trolls Are Now Off To Get The Country Music String. A Bat Flies Toward Their Vehicles And Enters The One That Barb Is In.
Barb Sees The Bat And Said. "Wait. Is That...Debbie?"
"Oh, That's A Lot Of Glitter." Riff Says As He Looks At The Bat, Named Debbie.
"No! What Did They Do To You, My Hairy Little Baby?! Come Here, Come Here." Barb Says As She Holds Debbie.
"Gnarly." Riff Said. Barb Then Sees The Letter In Debbie's Mouth And Takes It.
"What Is This?" Barb Says Before Giving Debbie To Riff And Opening The Letter.
"Pop Trolls? 'Dear Barb, Can't Wait To Meet You. I Have Tons Of Great Party Ideas. Maybe You And I Can Be Best Friends.' Best Friends? Is She Making Fun Of Me?" Barb Asks After Reading The Letter.
"No One Says That. Friendship Takes Time And Years Of Mutual Care And Respect. You Don't Just Become Best Friends." She Says.
Barb's Friends Started To Nod In Agreement.
"Plus, Everyone Knows I Already Have A Ton Of Friends. Like Carol. Right, Carol?" Barb Asks Her Friend, Carol.
Carol Wasn't Listening Because She Was Spraying Cheese In Her Mouth.
"Okay, You're Busy. That's Fine. Love You, Carol." Barb Says To Carol.
Barb Then Hears A Noise Coming From The Letter, She Looks To See A Candle Burning. The Letter Then Explodes Glitter In Her Face While The Letter Was Playing 'Trolls Just Wanna Have Fun'. Barb Started To Growled.
"Gnarly." Riff Commented As He Moved Thrash's Wheelchair Away From Barb Since She Was Gonna Have Since She Was Gonna Have A Meltdown.
"Pop Music Isn't Even Real Music! It's Bland! Itt's Repetitive! The Lyrics Are Empty! Worst Of All, It Crawls Into Your Head Like A Earworm! Barbs Says In Anger.
Barb Then Uses A Chainsaw To Cut The couch In Half And Then Sits Down.
"You Know, And You Can't Get It Out... Uh, I'm Tired Now. Hating Things Takes A Lot Of Energy." Barb Says To Everyone.
A Few Seconds Later, King Thrash's Voice Is Heard Singing The Pop Song Quietly.
King Thrash: Trolls Just Wanna Have Fun. Trolls Just Wanna...
"No. No. Look What Their Music Did To Dad." Barb Says As She Threw The Chainsaw, Runs Over To King Thrash, Then Pleaded Giving Him A Juice Box.
"Daddy? Come Back. Come Back To Me, Daddy." She Says As She Stops King Thrash From Singing.
The Chainsaw She Threw, Cut Off Half Of A Rock Troll's Hair.
"Nice Hair, Dude." Sid Said To Her.
"No One Does This To Dad. And No One Makes Fun Of Queen Barb. I Need That Pop String. And I Know Who's Gonna Help Me. The Most Feared Bounty Hunter In All Of Trolldom. Chaz, The Smooth Jazz Troll. The Reggaeton Trolls The K-Pop Gang. And... The Yodelers." Barb Says.
Minutes Later, Chaz, The Reggaeton Trolls And The K-Pop Gang Sit Down On A Couch And Listen To What Barb Is Going To Say.
"Okay. As You Probalby Know, I'm Bringing A Tidal Wave Of Rock Across This Land Of Ours." Barb Starts To Say To Them.
A Big Map Appears, Showing The Troll Kingdom.
"And Soon There Will Be Nothing But Hard Rock As Far As The Ear Can Hear. Whoever Brings Me Queen Poppy Gets To Keep Their Very Own Territory. Right Over... Here." Barb Said Before Pointing To A Small Island On The Map.
Tresillo, One Of The Reggaeton Trolls, Walks Over And Looks At The Small Island.
"I Don'tKnow. It Looks Pretty Tiny." Tresillo Says To Barb.
"You Want It Or Not?" Barb Asked, Angrily.
Tresillo Quickly Sits Back Down On The Couch.
"All You Have To Do Is Get Queen Popp!" Barb Commanded Them.
The Bounty Hunters Started Walking Out Of The Room And Start Their Search For Poppy.
"Do You Validate Parking?" Wani, A Member Of The K-Pop Gang Asked, But Shoved Foward By Kim-Petit.
Barb Looks Over At Riff And Asks, "Dude, Where Are The Yodelers?"
"I Heard A Rumor That They Yodeled So Hard, An Avalanche Fell On Them?" Barb Raised Her Eyebrow At Him."Or Something?" Riff Answers.
"Well, I Don't Pay You To Hear." Barb Said As She Walks To Her Throne.
"Actually, I'm Doing This For College Credit." Riff Says To Barb.
"If Anyone Can Find Me Queen Poppy And Her String, It's The Yodelers." Barb Says As She Sits On Her Throne. Barb Then Grabs The Letter From Poppy And Burns It Over A Candle.
