Trolls 3.0

Meeting Viva and Clay

If Vacay Island had been a glorious, sunny and warm paradise of a place to live, this location that the Trolls found themselves in was sure a stark contrast to that.

As soon as Rhonda's side door compartment had opened up, they were met with the sight of a dark, eerie-looking landscape, that stretched as far as the eye could see. A sense of foreboding hung in the air, and sent a shiver down Branch's spine as he made himself step out of the caterbus. Poppy was not far behind him, and she hovered close by, much to his relief. He did not like the looks of this place one bit, and he would rather have his girlfriend near rather than wandering off.

John Dory sauntered out next, a pep in his step after still riding off the high that performing on Vacay Island gave him. Though, he quickly squashed the energy, after seeing the way the land before them looked. He too got a look of concern – this spooky place was nothing like the relaxing beach haven that they were at before!

Last to come off of Rhonda was Spruce, along with a very annoyed Tiny Diamond. The reason for the glittered Trolling's annoyance became quite clear when the purple-haired Troll carefully climbed out of the caterbus... toting Tiny on a baby carrier!

"That's it, there we go," Spruce was cooing softly with each step down the stairs he took, making Tiny frown even more each time.

"Come on, purple rando!" he cried, not remembering Spruce's name and too angry at that moment to care. "I don't need this! I can stay on the bus by myself!"

"Uh, a baby unsupervised? Yeah, I don't think so," Spruce said resolutely, finally reaching the ground.

Tiny tsked. "I'm not gonna be unsupervised – Rhonda's gonna be with me!"

John Dory nudged Spruce. "He's got a point, Rhonda's watchful and smart, aren't you, girlie?" He rubbed his caterbus's belly, and she purred happily in response.

Spruce gave a dry laugh. "Yeah, smarter than you, that's for sure," he muttered.

JD heard and perked. "What?"

"You heard me!" the purple Troll said. "What made you think it was a good idea to bring a baby on this trip?"

"I didn't bring him, he wanted to come!" John Dory attempted to clarify.

"Yeah! The green rando's right," Tiny piped up, glad to have help on his case (and also not quite remembering John Dory's name, either). "And besides, I'm a man!"

Spruce was astonished to hear this. "A man? Bro, being one years old makes you nowhere near a man."

"I, for your information, am one and a half," Tiny grumbled. "And need I remind you that I do in fact have a learner's permit?" He pulled it out of his hair to show Spruce the "Adultsy McManface" license.

"That's a fake!" Spruce exclaimed.

"Is not!" Tiny argued.

"Yes it is!" Spruce shot back.

"Is not!" Tiny shouted again.

"It is."

"Is NOT."

Spruce was surprised to find that the last "is not" had not come from Tiny, but instead from John Dory. He gave his older brother a look and JD shrugged.

"Hey man, I thought it was a little sketchy at first to let a baby drive, but this little dude has proved he can do it."

"Yes! Thank you!" Tiny Diamond shouted, stretching up from his strapped place on Spruce's chest and giving JD a high five.
