"Sick. Long ago, our world was without song or dance. Then the Trolls found the strings, and life was one big party." Prince D said.

"Just retelling a story every tribe knows" King Peppy said "Don't think so King Peppy" Branch said "What do you mean B?" Spruce said, "Like I told you guys we have the wrong history".

"Oh, yeah. I-I've heard this story before." Poppy said, "That is, until the Pop Trolls tried to steal our strings." Prince D said.

A bunch of gaps was heard "What?" Viva said, "We would never do that!" Rosiepuff said "Well I mean John Dory steals the best cuts in food" Clay said "So does Spruce" Floyd added.

"Steal your strings? That-That's not what it said in our scrapbooks." Poppy added "Scrapbooks? Those are cut out, glued and glittered by the winners. Let me tell you how it really went down." Prince D said as he started a song.

"I..." King Peppy said, "My records never had changes it's been the same for years!" King Peppy said "It's been changed from the start that what all of us thought" Branch said "Our ancestor lied to us..." Viva said.

"Oh, oh Yeah Get started, uh Yeah, yeah, uh We started off a team Party till we fall asleep, even on the street When we disagreed, we did it on beat Did it on beat Respect the unique Right Anything less, it was weak The music of the strings made life complete Facts Till that one day that changed everything The Pop Trolls started snatchin' up All of the strings Oh, no Puttin' melodies on top of popular beats They cut us out of the scene And then forgot what it really means Not even publishing?"

The Royals were all shocked this was their ancestors that made this action

"Damn..." John said, "But we wouldn't do any of that now!" Floyd said "Even if the tribes know that I won't get rid of the action" Branch said as he looked at Poppy "Even one action changes how everything was" Branch knew it sounded bad like he was pointing was Poppy did, but she changed everything to the best.

"Should've seen between All of the schemin', it seems like The Trolls they stole from were meaningless Walking around like they were the geniuses But it's only samples, autotune and remixes No, Lord I'm a vegan I don't have no beef with them No, Lord Gotta protect my kingdom But the dream is to sing again Yes Being friends, seamless blend Yes Harmony ain't hard when the keys within you win"

Prince D stopped as they had a song break as the whole family started singing

"At first, it was all love At first, it was all love Hands up, superstar love Stars up Then you can have it, you can have it all love And you can get it all you want But then you took it, took it all love Took it all All love Turn it up louder Turn the music up, come on Sing along, get the crowd up I get the crowd up, come on But then you took it all love Took it all love, come on Then forgot all about us Oh, but it's all love"

Then the entire tribe joined in

"I feel you Sounds good in my ear when I hear it like that I feel you, I say I look good to the mirror And it says it right back Nothin' says it like that I feel you A little love wouldn't kill you A little love wouldn't kill you really did me wrong, it was real cruel It was real cruel Yeah Had a lot of love and I still do 'Cause I feel you"

"Next morning, the elders were on it Yeah They saw the warning signs Couldn't ignore it had to figure out how to save the way of life They had made, so they made a play The Pop Trolls were coming for it all All for one and one for all, so the only way we saw How we saw it There was one thing left to be done What? Each leader grabbed a single string And said, "Run!""

No one spoke the shock of the real history made everyone pause

"And the Trolls never lived in harmony again." King Quincy said, "So the Trolls live in isolation because of what Pop did?" Poppy said, "Pop tried to destroy our music." Queen Essence said, "Just like Barb is trying to do." Branch said quietly.
