Poppy, Branch, and Barb stood on a stool up on stage, so they could reach the microphone, and Molly stood behind them, holding a guitar to play the music for them to sing to.
The audience stared at them, expressionless.
"What are we singing?" Molly asked in a whisper.
"We're gonna sing... the most important songs... in the history... of music..." Poppy answered, dramatically.
"Nope," Branch denied. "Not again."
"Oh come on, Branch. It'll totally work this time," Poppy begged.
"Nope," he denied again."Boy toy is right. We ain't singing no lamo pop songs. We singin' some hard rock!" Barb announced, pulling her guitar out of her hair, and playing a quick riff.
"Boo!" the audience shouted, throwing a tomato, which hit Barb, splattering onto her.
She jumped out of the tomato guts, trying to clean herself off.
"Don't you 'boo' me! I'm the queen of rock!" Barb yelled out in anger.
Another tomato hit Barb, knocking her off the stool.
"Grrrr..." she grumbled, climbing back up with Poppy and Branch.
"We aren't singing Pop or rock," Branch stated. "You gotta know your audience, and none of them are pop or rock trolls."
"Uh... hello? Is your brain on?" Barb asked, knocking on Branch's head. "None of them are trolls at all!"
"Well, dugh, Barb," Branch said, pushing her away from him. "But look at how their all dressed."
He pointed out at the audience, who where all dressed in country looking outfits, some of them where also wearing cowboy hats.
"They're dressed like the country trolls," Branch pointed out. "Argo... we sing country music."
"Ok... good plan, Branch," Poppy said, kissing his cheek, gently.
Branch smiled, and then looked back at the audience beginning to sing.
"Boom clap, boom de clap de clap. Boom boom clap, boom de clap de clap. Boom boom clap, boom de clap de clap. Boom boom clap, boom de clap de clap. Try with me, here we go," Branch sang, stomping his feet and clapping his hands.
Poppy smiled, and then joined in.
"Boom boom clap, boom de clap de clap. Whoa oh oh. That's right! Boom boom clap, boom de clap de clap. Whoa oh oh," Poppy sang, dancing along with Branch.
"One, Two, Three!" Barb sang, playing her guitar.
"Everybody come on, off your seats. I'm gonna tell you about a beat. That's gonna make you move your feet," Branch sang.
