Trollstopia: Season 1

Summertime Party (Part 3)

Just then, the Funk Family came into the kitchen. They were happy to see Cooper, but a little confused with the trays of nothing but crumbs.

King Quincy spoke first, "Hey, son, how you been? And, what's with these empty trays?"

Cooper was a bit embarrassed, so Poppy spoke for him.

"He helped out with the refreshments, but there is such a thing as being too helpful."

Queen Essence knew how to help out with this, "It's no problem. We thought it would be a good idea to bring some treats of our own to share with everyone. D, could you please go get them from the bus?"

Prince D answered, "Sure, Mom. Just think of this as an emergency refreshment back-up plan."

D immediatley went to the bus and brought back at least six tray-fulls of cakes and cupcakes and brought them to the refreshment table outside.

Poppy shouted out, "Food's here!"

Everyone clambered over to the table and within about 5 seconds, the trays were empty.

Poppy was relieved at first, but then heard that DJ and Trollex were still arguing. She went right up to them and broke it up.

Poppy gave them a stern look and said, "Look, you guys both have really sweet tunes to share with everyone, but you both need to be respectful of the other's music. DJ, Trollex is our guest here and deserves a chance to share him music with us. Would it be so hard for you to share the stage a little?

DJ then showed a sorry look on her face.

Poppy turned to Trollex and said, "And, Trollex, while you are our guest here, you also need to be a polite guest and be respectful of your hosts. And besides, is this really any way for a king to behave?"

Trollex made the same sorry look. Both DJs looked at each other and apologized.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, too."

Poppy was relieved they weren't fighting anymore, "Now that that's over, how about you both fix your sets and play something we can all enjoy?"

They did just that and created an EDM soundtrack everyone loved, especially Guy and Tiny Diamond.

"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Show me your moves, Daddy!"

And, Branch was finally done with the slide. Everyone gathered around for the big unveiling. It was no longer a small pink slide; it was now a huge, twisty pink slide.

Poppy loved the look of it, "Branch, you have done it again!"

Branch smiled and said, "All in a day's work, Poppy. I think since I'm the one who made it, I should be the one to test it out to make sure it's safe."

But then, Riff pushed him aside, "Yeah, right. If anyone's gonna be the first to ride this baby, it's gonna be me."

Riff immediately went up the ladder. Everyone started to give him warnings as he went up.

Branh yelled up to him, "Be careful on the last turn. You might pick up a bit too much velocity if you don't cross your ankles."

Delta added, "Riff, be sure not to look down."

Once he got to the top, looking down was the first thing he did, "Whoa. Much higher than I thought."

Poppy yelled up to him, "You can do it, Riff!"

Riff took in a deep breath and started sliding down, screaming at the same time. When he finally made it to the bottom, he was launched right into the air, like a rocket going into space. Everyone watched with amazement as he practically vanished.

Poppy gave Branch some tips, "I think you might want to adjust the loop incline and reduce the slipocity."

Branch agreed, "I was just gonna say reduce the slipocity."

It was almost time for the party to end.

Poppy was relieved everything went so well, "I can't believe we pulled it off. We barely had enough food, Riff still hasn't come back down from the sky yet, and I had to break up a DJ feud."

The leaders the other troll tribes got up on the stage and made their announcement.

Delta Dawn started, "I would like to start us off by saying thanks, Miss Poppy, for one heck of a party."

Queen Essence continued, "It certainly was a wonderful way to get everyone together."

Poppy was happy to hear that, but she knew she couldn't take all the credit, "Thank you all for thanking me, but you all deserve some credit, too. For the refreshments, the waterslide, the tunes, all of it would've been a disaster if you hadn't pitched in."

Everyone in every tribe clapped their hands.

DJ and Trollex congradulated each other for creating the best songs in DJ history and agreed to do it again for the next party.

Once everyone made their way to the buses, they heard whistling. They looked up and who else could it be, but Riff. He kept falling...and falling...and falling until...

*Splash* Practically every ounce of water from the lagoon was splashed out.

Riff climbed out of the lagoon with excitement, "Hey, I did it! Now, that's how it's done!"

Everyone clapped and Riff joined his fellow Rockers in their bus.

They all waved goodbye and the Pop trolls got ready for bed.

Poppy was happy all of her worries were dealt with, "We should do this more often." 😉
