A Screen Of Our Lives

Castle & Death?. . .

The scene changed to show the castle where King Gristle Sr no longer alive instead his son took the throne as Gristle laid on his throne with a sigh "Oh, Barnabus you're my only friend in this whole miserable world" Gristle said as Bridget vacuumed the carpet

Barnabus rolled his eyes as Gristle rolled over "Dad was right I'll never, ever, ever, never be happy" The King said banging his head "Never" Gristle said as he flopped on his throne

Everyone was silent they didn't have anything to comment "I'm kind of hungry," Spruce said "Uh" John went through his hair "Sorry Spruce don't have anything on me," John said "Oh I have some cookies" Rosiepuff pulled out a bag from her hair and gave it to Spruce

"Never say never," a voice said as everyone looked at the entrance Chef appeared from the pot and broke it

"She...didn't use the door?" Clay said, "And here I thought we were weird," Spruce said.

As the Bergen's looked shocked to see Chef either by her appearance or just her being at the castle she walked up with her cloak and greeted the guards "Chad, Todd" as she used their speaks as a coat hanger and broke Bridget's vacuum cleaner with her foot

"Chef, where did you come from? My father banished you 20 years ago," Gristle questioned the former chef then. "Have you been standing behind that plant this whole time?" Gristle said.

"Okay, not the sharpest scissors for the paper, but... yeah, I got nothing," King Peppy said. "Who even thinks like that?" Poppy said as Branch coughed Poppy's name only Clay heard it and laughed.

"If only, sire," Chef said as she bowed to Gristle "No, I've been out in the wilderness thinking of nothing but how I let you down," Chef said trying to appease Gristle "If only there was some way I could make you feel better," Chef said in a soft time to appear weak

"Well, fat chance! The only way I'll ever be happy is by eating a Troll and that ain't gonna happen thanks to you" Gristle said almost in childlike anger "Ah, but it just might thanks to me" as Chef opened her fanny pack Poppy friends started singing a chorus as every Bergen in the room gasped.

As Gristle reached out with a gasp, "You found the Trolls." Then Chef slapped his hand, making another set of gasps. "So this means I might actually get to be happy!" Chef looked down at the king, almost as if she were looking at someone below her.

"That's right" Gristle started giggling making the Trolls hide further in the fanny pack as Chef closed it "Of course, everyone else in Bergen Town will still be miserable, but that's not your concern," Chef said as she moved out the way showing Chadd, Todd, and Bridget "I am their King so maybe it kinda is"

Chef leaned into the King's throne "What exactly are you proposing? Bringing back Trollstice? For everyone?" Chef said steering the conversation like a ship reaching its destination point.

Gristle thought for a moment "Yes! That's exactly what I'm proposing," Gristle said as he stood from his seat. "Great idea, sire. Brilliant, aren't you smart?" Chef complemented Gristle as he chuckled. "I guess I am." Chef picked up Gristle, placed him on the floor, and sat on his throne. "And I, your loyal Chef, will be right behind you. Holding a knife" she said quietly and fast.

"Ah she's after power," King Peppy said "I guess she was used to being out jailer for years to make everyone praise her like a priest," Viva said as everyone who lived in the tree for a majority agreed

"What's that?" Gristle asked. "Holding a knife, a spoon, a ladle, I'm your chef, after all!" Chef said, her voice changing to something more chipper as she poked Gristle with her ladle. "Yeah, you sure are!"
