Techno Trolls

Total Dreamboat

In the town square, they saw Queen Freya in the bib shop talking with the tailor.

"No. No. No. These aren't right. I'm the queen who's bringing back Techquinox. I need a bib that is just right."

Outside, Ronnie said, "She's so...beautiful."

Trollex said, "And you are handsome. So, go to it."

Ronnie got nervous, "Oh, she'll know I'm just a cleaning boy."

"No, she won't."

"I can take that chance."

"Ronnie, stay calm."

"I gotta get out of here!"

Trollex stopped him, "Hey! We're right here with you."

Ronnie asked, "And you'll tell me what to say, right?"

"Of course. Now, get in there."

The tailor said, "Oh, milady, I have just the right bib."

He brought out a box and inside it was a bib with neon rainbow colors.

Freya was impressed, "Oh, just like Techno Troll colors!"

Once she put it on, the tailor said, "Oh, Your Majesty, you look absolutely stunning!"

Then...

"I think you look fat."

Freya was a bit bothered, "Excuse me?"

She turned and saw Ronnie.

Trollex whispered to him, "P-h, phat. Then, do the gesture."

Ronnie repeated, "P-h, phat."

Then, he pointed and winked at her.

Freya liked what she saw.

"Well, hello, handsome."

Ronnie said, "And hello, beautiful."

"And who might you be?"

Ronnie waited for an answer.

Trollex said, "Your name is..."

Synth said, "Sir!"

Flash said, "Sea?"

Squirt said, "Salt!"

Laguna said, "Seriously?!"

Ronnie repeated, "Sir Seasalt, seriously."

Freya didn't find that suspicious, "Well, Sir Seasalt, would you care to join me at...Captain Memo's Whirl Rink and Arcade?"

Ronnie answered, "Would I? Would I?"

Trollex said, "Yes! You'd be delighted!"

Ronnie repeated, "Yes. You'd be delighted."

Freya said, "Yeah. I guess I would be."

Laguna asked Trollex, "When are you gonna ask her about Brooke?"

Trollex answered, "I need to get her warmed up first. Do you know anything about romance?"

Laguna sarcastically answered, "Oh, yes. I'm all about romance. I'm practically an expert."

"Really?"

"No. Do you know anything about sarcasm?"

***

In the arcade, they were given a pizza.

Freya said, "Ooh, so fancy."

They both reached for the same slice.

They had a romantic moment when their hands touched...then Ronnie snatched the piece away and chowed down ferociously.

Freya said, "Oh. You're...fantastic!"

Trollex then said, "Ronnie, compliment her back."

Ronnie said, "I like your back."

"No, I mean say something nice about her."

"But, I do like her back."

Freya heard that, "Huh?"

Ronnie didn't know what to say.

Laguna said, "Trollex, help him."

Trollex tried to find something nice to say, "Ooh, your eyes..."

Ronnie repeated.

But, Trollex didn't go with that, "Nose!"

"Nose!"

The others shouted stuff out, with Ronnie repeating.

"Skin!"

"Neck!"

"Face!"

Freya was a little confused, "Are you ok?"

"Your teeth!"

Freya then said, "What's going on? Are you making fun of me?"

She was about to leave when...

"Your eyes!"

Ronnie finally had something romantic to say.

"They're like two jewels so bright. I fear if I look at them too long..."

Laguna was the one telling him what to say, "I may never see again."

"I may never see again."

Trollex was a little surprised with Laguna's way with words.

That got Freya to stay.

Laguna then said, "And your smile. The sun itself turns jealous and refuses to come out from behind the clouds..."

Ronnie said, "Knowing it cannot shine half as bright."

Freya said, "I kind of do have a nice smile, don't I?"

Laguna said, "Yes. You do."

She then looked at Trollex, who was smiling at her.

She then turned away with a blush.

Ronnie then said, "I can't believe I'm about to say this, but..."

Bliss said, "Guys, he's going rogue!"

"...being here with you today makes me realize that true happiness is possible."

Trollex was amazed, "Wow."

Freya responded, "Oh, it is. True happiness is a lot closer than we think. It's right here."

She held up her jewel.

"Mmm. That's pretty, I guess."

"What do you think now?"

She opened to reveal...Brooke!

Laguna was surprised, "Brooke?"

Trollex was thrilled, "I knew she was alive!"

So was everyone else.

Bliss said, "Princess Pearl, she's alive!"

"Oh, snap."

Everyone gasped, and Bliss said, "You just talked!"

Princess Pearl just squeaked again.

Freya held up Brooke, "I've been savoring this little gal."

"Help! Mercy-"

She was shoved back into the jewel.

Freya then asked, "So, tell me, good sir. Will I be seeing you at the Techquinox Feast tomorrow?"

Ronnie responded, "Well, duh. I'll be working."

Trollex shouted, "It!"

Ronnie repeated, "It! Working it! You know, working it."

Freya then said, "Well, I've had enough to eat. What do you say we...have a little fun?"

Ronnie responded, "Sounds good. I think I know just how to do that."
