- Father, I got the first string !

King Thrash was watching the guitar his daughter was showing him, nodding with a smile and, without a word, walked away to sit on his throne. Queen Barb felt her heart squeeze as the former chief turned his gaze to their next destination.

- I promise you that you will soon be able to sing again! She said, I'll do anything to help you!

His father smiled at her sadly, not daring to say a single word.

- This stupid antenna is gone and my legs are back! Oh how I missed them ! Tchikou Tchikou Tchikou! Branch sang happily for what seemed like the hundredth time

The Trolls Pop had come out of the ocean, had retrieved their true appearances, and had climbed onto a boat they had built. The Techno Trolls followed them singing happily too, but a different tune that Poppy used to hear, Techno music.

- I don't want you to remember that King Trollex, but ... I thought you could not sing if your string was ...? Biggie hesitated to ask his question.

King Trollex helped push the boat with other techno trolls, he smiled sadly:

- Well, I guess this is good news that we can always sing, that means Barb did nothing to the techno string.

The Pop Trolls nodded, looking at Mr. Dinkles who was protecting their string. He'd hide it under his hat.

- I still think, Poppy, it's a terrible idea that will blow up in your face! Branch told to her.

But she knew that he did not really think it and that it was his grumpy side that came back sometimes... she found it adorable. King Trollex still didn't understand why they were not together, they seemed perfect for each other and their hearts beat in unison even as Trolls Pop. He could hear them struggling in their prison of uncertainties and wanted to be together, hug each other forever.

The night was up, they would be in the village tomorrow morning. Tired. a small techno troll was lulled by the waves while other aquatic trolls surrounded him to keep him in the group. Poppy loved to see the Trolls Techno was a big family, led by a King who was like their father. They looked a lot like the Pop Trolls on this, but they seemed more tied than anyone, and she was sure that none of the other Tribes had this family spirit as present as the Fish-tail Trolls.

- All right, everyone have place, Poppy told Trollex

The river and the GlitterFalls were filled with Techno Trolls. Very happy to have new friends, the Pop Trolls spent twice as long to bathe.

Now that the first part of the trip had been made, it was time to get the next tribe, the Funk Trolls. Cooper was obviously traveling this time though and he had chosen to visit this tribe for this reason. Then, it would be the Trolls Country followed by the Classic Trolls. They had to unite them to save the strings and all the music.

Knowing that she should leave her village, Poppy had done a last goodbye to her people before getting into the hot air balloon. Biggie, Mr.Dinkles and Cooper would be on this trip. Satin, Chenille, and GD had to take care of Tiny.

Poppy jumped happily into the hot air balloon, hiding something behind her back ... Branch had noticed it.

- What more are you taking? Not another candy bag I hope ?!

Indeed, the balloon was filled with candies bags. But Poppy had something else ... Without warning, she put a cap of captain on Branch's head.

- Now we can go! She laughed as Branch tried to pull the cap off his eyes.

He finally succeeded, then began to raise the balloon in the sky while Cooper, Biggie and Poppy said goodbye to the village. When they were small dots color on the horizon, Branch caught Poppy by the waist, lifted her to move away from the edge of the balloon.

- It's dangerous, you could fall, he says.

- You always say that everything is dangerous, Blueberry! She laughed, managing to free herself from the strong arms of the blue troll.

She took one of the candy bags, placing them on the card Trollex had given them. She then took a candy cane and began explaining the plan:

- We will unite all the Trolls! ... If we don't stop her, who will ? It's our mission!

Biggie and Cooper applaud happily ... In truth, Poppy didn't really have a plan, but Branch had probably already worked out everything.

Then she saw another bag that seemed to contain something other than candies. Curious, she let Biggie and Cooper who was already eating candies and went to the bag to see what it contained. Sticks.

- Branch? What is that ?

He turned his gaze to her, he left his command post to join her, leaving his cap on another pile of sweets:

- Well, we're going to need a battle plan and weapons! He said she was taking an strange golden thing, her eyes widening.

- Violence never solves of problems! She says, scolding him a little, and is it a kind of jewelry? Oh it's actually kind of cool looking....  Oooooooooohhhh !!!! She sang the last note

Branch, arms crossed, had ended up running after her:

- GIMME THAT ! He then said that she was laughing and escaping from him.

They were spinning around Biggie and Cooper. Mr.Dinkles was also watching them, eating a vomit jellybean and finding it delicious. (Sorry XD) Branch eventually trap Poppy agaisnt the ground, trying to pick up his "jewel", but the pink troll eventually turned around to find herself on top of him. The two trolls blushed, realizing how strange this position was.

There was a moment of silence during which they were lost in each other's eyes, then Biggie, Cooper and Mr.Dinkles burst of laughing. Blushing furiously, Branch picked up his weapon and put it in the bag while Poppy, not listening to the security rules, jumped and stood at the edge of the baloon:

- Let's go save the world! She exclaimed, Branch had put on his cap and analyzed the direction of the wind.
