Trolls: Band Together (Oc insert)

Chapter 3: Superstars, Velvet and Veneer

"Today, on a very special episode of The Bop on Top, we're talking about overnight superstars, Velvet and Veneer!"

Never gets old no matter how much I'm told
I'm amazin', you're amazin'
Hard to get tired when I'm always on fire
I'm blazin', ooh, you're blazin'

All my greatest
It doesn't come for free (Yeah)
All my talent
It doesn't grow on trees
Take a breather (Ooh)
Then take it all away
If the top is where you wanna stay

You gotta work hard (Uh-huh)
To make it look it easy
You gotta live fast
To keep makin' that money (Ooh)
If you want to be as famous as me
You gotta work, you gotta work, you gotta work
Watch me work

"So, what do you want to know? I'm an open book." Velvet said as she sat down on a chair, "Wide open. We're gaping novels." Veneer added. "Okay, we'll. Who are some of your biggest inspirations?" Kid Ritz asked (if you guys don't know who it is, it's the host of the talk show).

"Honestly, Vel's always been my inspiration." Veneer said, gesturing at his sister. "My biggest inspiration? Hmm..I'd have to go with also me." Velvet said, "Well, one thing's for after two months on the scene, the superstar duo will receive the prestigious Lifer Award. That's celebrating a lifetime of achievements." Kid Ritz said,

"Be sure to watch their performances this weekend at the Rage Dome. Last question: How do you guys stay the biggest superstars Mount Rageous has ever known? What's your secret?" "Secret? We don't have a secret. Who said that we have a secret?" Veneer said, nervously while hyperventilating. "What my clam, causal sounding brother means is it's simple, really. It just takes lots of hard work and loads of natural talent." Velvet said,

But back in their studio, they tried to sing but they were out of tune, their voices aren't natural and it's worse than (anything that you heard in your life is just unbearable). "Ugh! If we're gonna make it through the Rage Dome show, we're gonna need more trolls." Velvet said in annoyance, then she kicked a chair away, flipping it over.

"Crimp, what are you doing? Why are you always hovering?" She questioned their assistant. "Uh, I'm standing?" She said, "Well, be a good little assistant and go stand in the corner." Veneer "Oh, yes." Crimp hops off from the table and moves to the corner.

"Um, oh, dear. I think this is kind of a corner." She muttered while the duo just stared at her. . "Okay, I cannot with her." Velvet said. "It's really too much." Veneer agreed with her. "Whew. Well, time for a spitz!" "No, please! I barely have any talent left to give. I mean, maybe, like, a desperate Christmas album or a one-off national anthem performance, but that is it." Floyd said as he turned and crossed his arms, "Oh, really? You don't wanna? Okay, that's fine. We'll just kiss our careers goodbye and focus our effects on charity!" Velvet said sarcastically as she grabbed the perfume bottle. "Good one." Veneer said,

She started to spray glitter mist on herself while Floyd's talent was being sucked away from his body. Her eyes turned bright pink before she sang out an amazing vocal as golden glittery waves came out from her body. "That's more like it. We're SO close to having everything we always knew we believed we deserved to have." Velvet said as her brother sat on the chair and looked at Floyd speckital while he was kneeling down and put his hand on the walls around him, then at his sister. "Veneer, what's with your vibe? Why do you have a resting-moody-vibe face?" She questioned,

"No, I know we've deserved to be famous just 'cause we want to, bus honestly, that dude looks rough." He said, "He's fine." "And he's getting pale. And not in, like, a stunning Victorian way." Veneer said, "Don't you see what you're doing? You're literally sucking the life out of me." Floyd said as his feet started to become pale.

"Ugh, that's what I tell Crimp everyday." Velvet said as they glared at her while she hid herself in the corner and whimpered. "What are we gonna do? We obviously can't rely on this troll to get us through this dress rehearsal, let alone the Rage Dome show." Veneer said, panicked as he sat on his chair.

"It's all going to change as soon as we have Brozone." Velvet said, "Brozone?" "Yep, I forged a letter begging for them to come and save you. I love me." She said, "No! You leave my brother alone!" Floyd exclaimed, "Ugh, I'm exhausted by this drama. Hey, do you want to go buy a yacht?" Velvet asked, "Oh, good idea." Veneer said. "Let's buy matching yachts." Floyd watched them leave the room, then noticed his skin turning more clear and sighed.

This is for all the lonely people
Thinkin' that life has passed us by
We won't give up until we drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway to the sky

Floyd sang as Crimp stopped playing her ukulele. "Your ukulele skills are improving." He said, "Thank you."

Meanwhile, the trolls inside Rhonda were planning on the mission to save their brothers. "Operation Family Harmony is on and poppin'!" Branch exclaimed, then he noticed the look on Poppy. "What?" "What? Oh, nothing. I just...Well, if I didn't know any better, I'd-I'd almost say you were excited." She said,

"Uh, it had nothing to do with my brothers." He said, "Sure, while you're just keeping it secret from us, I just know what's going on and what you're hiding in there." KayKay said, "Dang it, she's right." Branch whispered, "All right, all right! Tiny, Branch, Poppy, KayKay and this random dude.." "What?" John muttered,

"..on another musical adventure filled with heart, hilarity and happiness!" They all looked at the driver's seat to see Tiny Diamond with the radio while driving. "Tiny! What are you doing here?" Poppy asked, "Well, Aunt Poppy, for your information, I am no longer a baby. I am a big boy now, and I'm on a man sized rite of passage to learn lessons of life, courage and maybe love." He said, "Aw.."

"Uh, should we be letting a baby drive?" John questioned, "Not to worry, fellow grown up. I have procured my learner's permit." Tiny said as he pulled out a driver's license with himself wearing a mustache on the profile.

"Who is Adulty McManface?" Poppy said, confusedly. "The better question is: Are you a narc?" "What? No, no. Why? Are you?" KayKay was in the back chuckling at that question, then she checked into a basket and sighed a bit. "Hey, Hey, KayKay! What are you doing in that basket? Looking suspicious down there." She looked at them as she quickly wrapped the basket up.

"Nothing, nothing, just some stuff." She said, "Um, Kay?" Poppy said, "U-Uh, yeah, Pops?" KayKay said, nervously. "What's going on? What's in the basket?" She asked, "Oh! Uh, it's nothing! Just some techno stuff like us, Techno Trolls are." She said,

"KayKay...you're acting weird. What's going on?" Branch questioned, "Not too weird for you were treating a remote as your own son." KayKay said, "...Fair enough." He said, "I don't know, it seems odd like a fish out of water." John said, "John, don't be rude. Plus, you know who she is." Branch said,

"I know but I'm saying that she could be-" His sentence was cutted off when KayKay smacked him in the face with her fin tail. "And my problem is that you are a judgmental troll with no respect." She said, "Dang! That Queen put you in your place!" Tiny Diamond exclaimed as he laughed.

"And Branch, sorry for smacking your brother but he deserves it." "Nah, you're right. He deserves it." He said, "Wha-" "Anyways, let's go back to the mission. We need to find our brothers." Branch said. "Mhm!" KayKay nodded, As they looked on the board with the clues, she noticed her pixel rainbow heart started to flash a bit from her normal colors and clear as she sighed.

What is KayKay hiding?
