“I have reason to be shy. I've been hurt plenty.”

‒ Ethel Waters.

After getting to Symphonyville and learning the truth, Poppy and the others were traveling in the desert to find the country trolls however the siblings were getting tired of the extreme heat after their ride disappeared.

"I told you" Cobalt said, panting "We techno trolls are not used to the heat". But luckily, Lazuli brought out water in case of emergency. "Here" She hand out a bottle of water to which Cobalt immediately get it and start drinking it.

"Thanks"

Lazuli gets the water back, drinking it as well and decides to give Cobalt a piggyback ride. "Hey, Poppy" She said, snapping out Poppy's concentration on the map "Are we almost there?" She asked.

Fortunately, they arrived at Lonesome Flats, home to the Country Trolls. They looked at the town if the Country Trolls were home but it was empty.
"This must be where the Country Trolls live." She said. "Well, it looks like nobody's home. We're too late. Time to go home." Branch said as shrugged his shoulders and turned around to go "Come on, guys, let's go"

"There's is no "I quit" in "team." Poppy called out, causing Branch to stop with a frown on his face.

They went inside the town and it was like a ghost town "Woah" Cobalt said "I wonder if there any trolls here?" He murmured. Then they heard a the clock chime and a female country troll came out causing Poppy and the others to hide behind a barrel.

Lazuli look at the country troll "She must be the leader" She thought then Mayor Delta began to sing.

The trolls were looking at them singing and dancing, what they do in their daily lives. Poppy couldn't help but feel sympathy for them as if the country trolls were miserable

The last one is Old country troll gets a heart attack and is put in the coffin with Mayor Delta finishing the song while the Country trolls were forming a heart. Then she closed the coffin.

"Okay, guys, guys, huddle up" Poppy whipered, signaling the group to huddle. While Growly Pete and Mayor Delta were looking at them however Growly Pete looked at them suspiciously and wanted to arrest them but Mayor Delta stopped him because she felt bad for them.

Poppy began to explain that the country trolls need cheering up that they need to go "Top-Shelf" with Biggie understanding what it was. But Branch and Lazuli were uneasy with the plan as Branch guessed what Top shelf is. Poppy nodded and said that they need to sing the most important songs in history of music.
