Slowly, and cautiously, Branch headed for the pocketbook.

Molly's mom was singing, softly, as she made her sandwich, but soon began getting louder, as she got lost in the song.

"When the sun shines, we'll shine together. Told you I'll be here forever. Said I'll always be your friend. Took an oath, I'ma stick it out 'til the end. Now that it's raining more than ever. Know that we'll still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella. You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh. Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh. Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh. Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh."

The three trolls, covered their ears in pain, at the sound of her voice.

"What is she doing!?" Barb whispered in a yell, covering her ears.

"Uh... singing?"

"That's singing!?" Poppy complained. "She's worse than Sky Toronto!"

Branch squinted his eyes, covering his ears as tight, as he could, but he could still hear the awful screeching sound.

"Pst... Branch..." Molly whispered.

He turned to her, his ears in pain from the horrible noise of Molly's mom 'singing'.

"Get the money," Molly reminded.

Branch nodded, and then slowly continued towards the pocketbook, still covering his ears.

"You can run into my arms. It's okay, don't be alarmed. Come into me. There's no distance in between our love. So gon' and let the rain pour. I'll be all you need and mooooooooooore!" she sang the last note, loudly, a glass shattering at the sound.

The pitch of the note, caused all the trolls to wince in pain, as they fell to the floor unconscious.

Molly's eyes widened, looking at the unconscious trolls.

"Oh no... oh no, no, no, no, no..." she said, softly. "Branch! Branch, wake up!" she whispered loudly, trying to get Branch to wake up, but he didn't.

"Shelby," she said, looking down at the little chihuahua, who also seemed pained by her mom's singing. "You gotta go save Branch. Before my mom sees him."

"Arf!" Shelby barked in agreement, as she went to get Branch.
