The old king invited you, Poppy, Branch and a few others to follow him into a cave. The cave itself was quite the tight squeeze for you but you made it work. The cave had a kind of fantasy feel to it with light shining on from a crack in the ceiling, colorful plants growing from the green walls and a waterfall made of shiny party streamers. The center held a tiny table with a piece of fabric with felt character on it.
The group of Trolls stood silently as the King got ready to tell his story.
"It's a story as old as time." announced the King behind the table. He cleared his throat then said "In the beginning, there was silence. Until one day, someone made a sound."He pointed out different parts of the story as he told it and the different characters on the fabric as he explained more. "Our ancestors were so inspired by the sound, they took six strings. And those six strings had the power to control all music. They could play anything. Techno, funk, classical, country, hard rock and pop. And every kind of music in between. There was something for everyone. It was one big party. But little by little, Trolls became intolerant of each other's music." The characters in the story began to argue with one another and fight over the six strings. "They fought over what kind of music the strings would play. The elders realized there was but one solution. Each tribe would take a string and go their separate ways. Those six tribes have lived in isolation ever since." he breathed in as he finished the story. "Techno, Country, Rock, Classical, Funk, and us, the Pop Trolls."
"Now Barb's announcement makes sense." said Poppy in realization. "She wants to reunite the strings so the Troll World can be one big party again."
You squint your eyes at her, Branch spoke up first "Wait, that's all you heard? One big party?" He said a little confused that Poppy could have misunderstood what the story had been trying to tell them.
"Yeah!" Poppy said, jumping with joy. "It's when all the Trolls lived in harmony.
And what's more important than livin' in harmony?"
You speak next "Poppy, you haven't even met her. You can't just assume the best of people all the time. She could take advantage of you, Poppy." In times like these you felt more like a parent to Poppy than a friend.
"Just like Y/N said. You can't think everything is perfect. All I heard is fighting. The strings together leads to fightin'." Branch tried to explain to her
"Exactly, Branch." agreed King Peppy. "That's why we need to keep our string safe." He walked over to the shiny waterfall and pushed it aside to reveal a pink string that was glowing brightly placed in the middle of a Lyre Harp. The trolls
"Behold," he said dramatically. "The pop music string." He plucked the string once and a pink glittery heart floated from it. "Oh, yeah." it sang. (ok but why did it sound like it moaned in that scene. Like Dreamworks calm down, it's a kids movie.)
"It's beautiful," said Poppy, watching the sprinkles from the heart fall to the ground.
"And powerful,"added the King.
The glitter from the string tickled your nose and made you sneeze causing the cave to shake. You put your arms out to make sure the cave didn't collapse on everyone.
"Sorry" you whispered to the others.
The King huffed before going on with what he said, "Which is why we can't let it fall into the wrong hands."
"And we won't. Not on my watch." Branch stood up "What we need is a plan."
"Don't worry. I've been preparing for this day for years." the KIng nodded his head "We run." He said getting as excited as an old man can.
Poppy looked confused "Run?"
"And hide." the King tacked on.
"On it." Said Branch putting on a disguise made of leaves and fuzzy grass. "Come on Y/N we have to try and hide the others."
