Ep 9: Bat-Sitting

It’s a clear sky day at Trollstopia. The sun rose above the Volcano Rock City. Barb is sleeping like a slob while her pet bat, Debbie, is sleeping on her owner’s nose. Once Debbie wakes up, she licks Barb’s face on her open drooling mouth, which awakens her by surprise. But she smiled at Debbie and hugged her in affection.
“Good morning, Debbie. Another fine day in Trollstopia,” said Barb, while going into her closet.
Debbie flies over to a bowl of living bugs and eats them like a savage.
When Barb comes out of the closet in her regular clothes, she stretches her arms while saying, “always remember to stretch before starting your day. Debbie, are you done with your breakfast yet?”
When Debbie finished eating, she flew onto Barb’s shoulder, so both of them walked out of the bedroom. The two go into the kitchen where Barb opens the refrigerator, takes out a jug of orange juice, and chugs it down. She then gives Debbie a strawberry, which she swallows it whole. After Barb puts the orange juice back in the refrigerator and closes it, a phone that looks like a skull rings.
Barb picks it up and answers it, “Sup, this is Rock Castle. Queen Barb, speaking. Oh, hello! I was going to ask you that… What? You’re sick?!... But I got a schedule; I need you to watch Debbie…. Find a replacement? ….For how long? ….Until tomorrow? Ok. Goodbye, brah.”
After Barb hangs up, she then says, “Well, Debbie. I’m going to have to find you a new person to look after you for the whole day. Maybe I’ll ask a few people…”

At Pop Village, Poppy is watering her flower bed that's the shape of her and Branch holding hands.
“How cute,” she commented.
“Hey, Poppy!” said Barb, going to her with Debbie on her shoulder.
“Hi, Barb--AAAHH!!! There’s something on your shoulder!” said Poppy, seeing Debbie in fear.
“That’s my pet bat, Debbie. Can you look after her for me? I got a lot of things to do.”
“Oh, um...Sorry...But I got a busy schedule too…”
“You don’t want to do it, do you?”
“Uh… it’s not that. It’s because Debbie is well, how do you say this...um…”
“Terrifying?”
“No, but a little bit like that.”
“I know you think she’s terrifying, but that’s how she is. I ask a lot of people who are good with animals before you, but they all found my hairy baby scary. Do you know where Biggie is?”
“Sure, he’s working out with Smidge over there.”
When Poppy points to Biggie and Smidge doing push-ups while Mr. Dinkles watches them, Barb goes to them while Poppy says, “I hope Biggie can handle Debbie’s appearance.”
When Barb approaches the two trolls and worm, Biggie and Smidge scream after seeing Debbie.
“Biggie, can you look after my little furball for me?” Barb asks while caressing Debbie with her finger as Debbie cuddles Barb on the face.
“Oh, I...well…” said Biggie.
But when Barb, Biggie, and Smidge notice Debbie staring at Mr. Dinkles like she wants to eat him, Biggie picks up Mr. Dinkles in worry, and then Smidge says, “does Debbie have a thing for worms?”
“Oh, yeah. I forgot Mr. Dinkles is a worm. Debbie’s favorite snack is worms,” said Barb, holding Debbie not to let her try to eat Mr. Dinkles.
“Well, I’m sorry, Queen Barb, but I can’t look after a creature that can eat Mr. Dinkles’ kind,” said Biggie.
“Man, I ask animal lover trolls and even Poppy, and they said no.”
“Hmm, if you want to find the right pet sitter for Debbie, why don’t you ask Branch?”
“Branch? He’s good with animals?”
“Sure, Barb. Not only that, but he can also tame animals and trolls. He even looked after Mr. Dinkles once.”
“He sounds great. Do you know where I could find him?”
“Branch is usually at his bunker or his bakery,” said Smidge.

With Branch, he’s with his Chill Bros as they chase after an adult Cuddle Pup that’s running a mock on Pop Village. Trolls are running and hiding from the beast.
“Yeehaw! Get along, big doggie!” said Hickory, as Branch and Riff rides on him.
“Man, I never thought a cuddle pup could be scary when they grow up,” said Riff.
“Alright, Chill Bros! Let’s take this beast to downtown! Get into position!” said Branch.
When Chaz gets in front of the adult cuddle pup, he plays his smooth jazz to put it in a trance. When it did, Trollex, Trollzart, Tresillo, and Riff lassos each limb to hold the monster down while Branch and Hickory tied it down to the ground with crossbows.
“We got it!” Chaz said, after finishing his jazz music.
“But why was this beast running around crazy?” said Trollzart, as he and his Chill Bros look around the cuddle pet.
“Hey, look at his paw,” said Trollex, seeing a throne in the creature’s upper right paw.
“Aw, the poor pup stepped on a throne,” said Riff, feeling bad for the beast.
“So, it went crazy because it stepped on a throne?” said Hickory, confused.
“Even monsters like these have feelings, cowboy,” said Chaz.
“Okay, Chill Bros. Give me a hand of pulling it out,” said Branch, grabbing onto the throne with his hair.
When the rest of his Chill Bros grab the throne with their hair, they pull it out, which the cuddle pup gets free from the ropes that it's tied in. It stares at the Chill Bros for a while until it thanks them by licking them and walks out of Pop Village. Then Trolls came out of hiding and cheered for the Chill Bros for their heroic act.
“The Chill Bros saved us!” Prince D shouted with joy.
“Our heroes!” said the K-Pop Gang, but they think Branch is their hero.
“So, what? They only save us from one monster,” said Creek, jealous of Branch getting so much attention.
“Get out of here, jealous Creek!” Trollzart said, before throwing the big throne at Creek which it pins his hair to a tree.
