Karma scurried down the stairs humming a song, in a new form. She'd decided to be a K-pop Troll today. While her form resembled the original design, she'd added her own swing to it.

   "Hey guys! We got a dare!"

   "Who's it for?" Poppy asked eagerly. Karma smiled evily and looked at Delta. She understood immediately. "Oh no..."

   "Iiiiiiiiiiiiit's Delta! Yay!"
She groaned.
   "Okay. How bad is it?"

Karma looked at her phone.
   "Not that bad. You actually have a choice. It's from WolveClaw, and it says: Dare to Delta. Would you rather

1. Kick someone in the face, but with your horse legs

Or

2. Sing us a song about Clamper's mom, and also in front of her too.
The song is 'Dear Theodosia', reprise version."

Delta thought about it.
   "Well... While it is satisfyin' to kick someone... I suppose singin' would do less damage. Heya Clampers!" The young Country Troll poked her head from Delta's hair. "Yeah?"
   "Wanna hear me sing to ya?"
   "Yeah!"
   "It ain't gon' be a country song. Ya alrigh' with that?" Clampers thought about it for a second, then shrugged.

Delta smiled. "Guess I'm singin' then." She carefully placed her niece on the couch and took a few steps back. Karma snapped her fingers and suddenly it went dark, with only a spotlight on Delta. Somewhere in the background music started to play, and she started.

   "Dear Clampers,
   How to say to you,
   Sometime one night
   Your mother breathed your name
   And like a flame that flickered out too soon,
   She died, she's gone..." Delta sang sadly.

Everyone's hearts already felt sore by the sadness. Clampers didn't look to affected by it. She was to young to actually understand what had happened to her mother. Besides, she's a Country Troll. They naturally sing sad songs.

   "She dedicated everyday to you,
   She changed my life
   She made my life worthwhile,
   And when you smile,
   I know a part of her lives on
   I know I can go on.
   You have come of age with our young nation
   We bleed and fight for you
   Sometimes it seems that's all we do,
   But you and I will build a strong foundation
   And I'll be here for you
   The way is clear for you to blow us all away
   Someday, Someday.
   Yeah you'll blow us all away
   Someday, Someday..." Delta finished on a perfect note and everyone cheered for her.

Clampers jumped off the couch, crawled into Delta's hair and popped up just above her face. She wrapped her small arms around her aunt's head, a form of hugging.
   "I love you Aunt Delta!"
   "I love you too Clamps." Delta smiled.

Karma's smile filled half of her face. She couldn't help but jump up and give Delta a big hug.
   "That was gorgeous Del!"

A small ding was heard.
   "Oh? And what a coincidence. It's hug time." She smirked. Everyone else gathered around and joined in the group hug. Delta reluctantly accepted it with a roll of her eyes.

Eventually she said, "Alrigh' that's enough! Y'all can let go now!" And they parted.

   "Well, that was nice. Delta, beautiful singing. @WolveClaw thank you for the dare! And now imma head up. Til next time you guys!" And just like that Karma disappeared.

There was a moment of silence until-
   "I'm just suddenly wondering," Trollex said aloud, "What does she do all day, when she's not hanging out with us?"
Everyone shrugged.
