It was about 6 months after the tribes had made peace in Volcano Rock City.  It was morning, and another normal, boring day for Queen Barb.  Hitting the snooze button on her alarm multiple times until she had to drag herself out of her cozy bed, getting dressed and eating a light breakfast, then it was time to do her queenly duties.  She went to her office where she surprisingly saw Val waiting for her.

Barb: Hey. You're up early. *sits by Val* 

Val: Hey! I couldn't sleep.

Barb: THAT'S a first. 

Val rolled her eyes and chuckled. 

Barb: What woke you up?

Val: I don't know...just learning that there is different Trolls out there...it still amazes me. Y'know, now that we've made peace and sang Kumbaya and all that, everything's so different. 

Barb: Annnnd...? *moves chair*

Val: And?? I-I'm not saying it's a BAD change, but it's just gonna take some time to get used to. Right?

Barb: Yeah...I understand it. Volcano Rock City's all we've ever known. I was surprised when I learned about the other tribes too.   

Val: Well...I'm not alone then.

Barb: You definitely aren't. Now what are we doing sitting here wasting our youth? Get to work you slacker! *messes up Val's hair*

Val: GIRL! What did I say about messing up my pigtails?!? Do you KNOW how long this takes? *scoffs* The AUDACITY! 🙄💅

They both laughed at Val's sarcastic comment.

Val: Oh, by the way, is your assistant coming in today?

Barb: Oh no, I gave her the day off. She deserves a break from being by my side, following me everywhere.

Val: Oh! That's good.

Barb: Yeah! Besides, I've got all the help I need right here. *puts arm on Val's shoulder* And little bro of course. Speaking of little bro, where is he anyway?

Val: Dunno. Must have overslept again. *shrugs*

Shortly after Val made that remark, Barb's clearly frazzled little brother rushed into the office, trying to catch his breath. 

Riff: I'M....HERE! 

Barb: RIFF! THEREEEEE you are!

Riff: Urgh, I'm so sorry...I slept in again... *yawns and rubs eyes* That stinking alarm didn't go off.

Val: Oh Riff, did you set your alarm to 7PM again? *facepalms*

Riff: No! ... Well, maaaaaaaybe I did...

Val: *shakes head* Ohhhh, what are we gonna do with you?... Ooh! I know!

Val quickly got out of the chair and pounced on his back. 

Riff: OW! WHAT THE HECK?!?!?

Val: PIGGYBACK! >:D

Riff: RIGHT NOW? WHYYYYYYYYYYY? I DON'T WANNAAAAAAAAA!

Val: AY! I'm older than you. Respect ur elders.

Riff: Yeah, well, I'M the youngest out of our group. Shouldn't I be getting the royal treatment?

Val stayed silent. There was nothing she could say against that rule.

Riff: HA! I win!! *snickers*

Val: Yeah, well, first come first serve. Piggyback! >:D
