Chapter 24


After the musical hypnotization session, Branch managed to escape without getting infected mentally by the Disco Trolls even if his physical appearance had suffered through some significant changes. He crawled through the venting system while following the royal guards as they dragged Guy Diamond through the hallways of what seemed to be a palace, Branch knew he was no longer in the spa since he had moved for a few moments now and the party music was nowhere to be heard only the sounds of Guy's autotune complaints and screams. The guards walked through a door and dumped the fiance in it.

Guy was placed on a chair and Casanova's assistants walked up to him with hairspray and a hair comb. Casanova himself cleared his throat and said, "Alright, the queen will be demanding your presence shortly. We must have you in your best form."

"I'm always in my best form." Guy winked at the assistants and the disco-man too.

Casanova contradicted his statement and blew his curly hair with a blow-drier, "There's always a way to get even better."

As he was eavesdropping on a pointless conversation, Branch decided to move on to the next room and possibly the next exit. He observed as he went through many discotheques and many preparation teams, the kitchen, the ornament office, and the wedding dress-making team. Branch finally stumbled upon a useful scene.

Supergleam marched into a dark bedroom where the Queen was lying in her bed and daydreaming about her future man. The general took a seat near the royal and spoke, "The discotheque session was a complete success, my queen."

"Gasp!" Queen Stellar sprung up from her cushion and crawled closer to her friend, "Really? Did you enjoy it?"

"This song is engraved into my cardiac system." She replied with an unexpected amount of humor.

The Queen cackled at her silly response, "What about our guests, did they enjoy it?"

"The friends seemed to be very into it." Supergleam reported while projecting some camera footage of the SnackPack dancing in the chamber onto the TV Screen, "As for your man, he is very eager to see you again."

It switched to footage of Guy Diamond in the dressing room getting ready for the encounter. The Queen pulled the screen close and embraced it, "And I am eager to see him."

Supergleam hung up the projection and sighed, "But the stubborn one is what concerns me."

"He hasn't given up yet?" Stellar conversed while dressing herself in a gown.

"No." Supergleam appeared to be frustrated by Branch's rebel attitude, "It's more complicated than I thought."

Branch scoffed from the air ducts and accidentally caused an echo to call their attention, Supergleam and Queen Stellar stared at the vents for a few seconds before ignoring it and continuing their conversation.

Stellar stated as Woofin and Frizzy helped her wrap a towel around her hair, "Maybe he's just a putz after all."

"Some trolls just don't want to have fun, your majesty." Woofin added for some closure.

"I suppose." Stellar shrugged it off as Frizzy handed her a delicious strawberry juice.

Branch shook his head in disappointment still waiting for something interesting to happen. Within a matter of seconds, the queen spilled her juice onto Woofin's face as she had a realization, "Wait! How are the preparations going? Is everything going according to schedule?!"

"Yes, my queen." General Supergleam reckoned while showing the building process of the wedding's location, "The tribeless trolls have been summoned to aid the foremen on the construction of the ceremony venue, the food and appetizers are preserved inside the freezers and the transportation critters are parked."

"Yay!" The Queen clapped for herself excitedly, "We're getting so close! I can't believe this is finally happening..."

"Neither can I." Frizzy said with no filter. Supergleam nudged her shoulders calling her out.  

Queen Stellar rolled out of bed and walked up to the window with a view of the rest of the Spiral Groove System and the ceremony temple under construction in the distance, "After all this time, the neverending search will finally come to an end and I will never have to deal with loneliness again." She turned back to her court members and spoke at a fast pace, "Yes, I know some things come with a price to pay but I'm willing to make this sacrifice for the greater good. My mental health, of course!"

The eavesdropping troll was disgusted by her selfishness and decided to move on as he finally found an escape route, the transportation shuttle to the wedding was the key to getting out of the palace. Queen Stellar and her team walked out of the bedroom and went to the dining room for the proposed date with Guy Diamond.
