~Out At Sea~

As The Boat Sailed Away Amongst The Ocean Heading To Louisiana, The Trolls & Silas Tried To Make Themselves Comfortable On The Boat.

The Trolls Sit On The Edge Rail Of The Boat, Looking Out At Sea, Missing Trollstopia.

Cooper Sighed.
"Hhhhh, I Miss The Snackpack 🥺"

"And Mom & Dad 🥺"
Prince D Said.

"And My Maya Papaya, We Created Mayex ☺️"
Trollex Blushed With A Smile.

"WE KNOW -.-"
Everyone Glared At Trollex.

"Poo 🙁"
Trollex Frowned A Little.

Barb Smirked With An Idea And Nudged Trollex.
"Psst, Hey, Watery Hamilton"

"No Need To Always Reference That Play With Me Ya Know"
Trollex Said.

"Don't Sass My References, But You Knowwww, If You Wanna Really Impress This Maya Chick, She Would LOVEEEE A Fish With Smooth Skin"
Barb Told Him.

"But I Already Have Smooth Skin! See? 💪"
Trollex Flexed His Fishy Muscle Skin.

"Ehhh Not Really, The Sun Is Burning It"
Barb Shrugged.

"Wait WHAT?!?!"
Trollex Shouted.

"Yeeeeep, You'll Be Sunburned And Be Fried Fish Sticks Orrrr Worse"
Barb Said.

"W-Worse? 😟"
Trollex Gulped.

"Fishhhh & Chips~"
Barb Whispered In Trollex's Fin Ear.

"aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I NEED SUNSCREEN!!!!!"
Trollex Screamed Out, Flying In Rapid Circles.

"GREAT IDEA! You Go Find Some Sunscreen And I'll Check For Some At The Captain's Deck"
Barb Explained.

"OKAY! Wait- Why Would Sunscreen Be In The Captain's Deck?"
Trollex Tilted His Head.

Barb Blinked.
"Uhhh...In Case Of The Captain's Two Webbles Get Fried Up?"

Trollex Shrugged Innocently.
"Makes Sense, I'M IN!"

"C'mon!"
Barb Gestures And Jumped To The Floor.

Queen Lavender Turned Her Head And Looked Down At Them.
"You Two Going Far?"

Barb And Trollex Stopped At Sudden.
"Nooooooo...?"

"Just Ya Know, Quick Jog Around The Deck! And Glance At These People's Tanned Gained Weight Bodies! 😁
Barb Replied.

"Hm, Okay, Stay Out Of Trouble Though"
Queen Lavender Told Them.

"Yup Yup Got It! Definitely No Red Flag There BYE!"
Barb Ran Off Through The Ship's Deck With Trollex.

~~~

~At The Back Of The Boat~

Admiring The View Of The Sea, Silas & Poppy And Branch Were Chilling In The Back Side Of The Boat With Silas Resting His Arms On The Rail, While Poppy & Branch Sat Close With Each Other.

Poppy Closed Her Eyes For A Second, Feeling The Breeze Then Opened Them With A Calm Sigh.

"What A Relaxing Breeze, Right Silas?"
Poppy Turned To Silas.

Silas, With His Shades On, Was Looking At The Water And Thinking About His Dad.

"H-Huh? Oh Yeah! Right, Sure.."
Silas Replied.

"Ooookkkay? Branch! Beautiful Breeze Right?!"
Poppy Nudged Branch.

Branch, Holding His Hands Together, Was Still Thinking About The Little Conversation Poppy Had With Her Mother Back On The Farm.

"What? OH UMMM, YEAH SURE FEBREZE IS A BEAUTIFUL GAS FROM HOLE, RIGHT!"
Branch Replied.

Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow, Looking Back n Forth At Both Boys, Knowing Something Was Wrong With Them.

"Okay, Cleary I'm Missing Something Or There Is Something Wrong With You Both! AND YOU BOTH WILL TELL ME WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW SO I CAN SOLVE IT!"
Poppy Demanded.

"..."
Branch & Silas Slowly Turned The Opposite Way From Poppy.

Poppy Softly Groaned.
"Ugh, Boys...Okay Silas You First!"

"Dangit-"
Silas Said To Himself.

"C'monnn Talk To Auntie Pops"
Poppy Said.

Silas Turned To Poppy.
"Auntie Pops? You're Literally The Size Of My Liquid Soap Bottle!"

"Well No Need To Be Rude 💅"
Poppy Looked At Her Non-Existent Nails With Sass.

"Although I Have Been Told I Have The Scent Of Strawberry Liquid Bath Soap! Not Sure How I Should Look At Being Complimented By Hygienic Things.."
Poppy Tapped Her Chin.

"Well If You Must Know, I'm Just Worrying A Little About My Dad"
Silas Said.

"As Innnn?"
Poppy Asked.

"Like How Is He Gonna React Knowing His Own Child Traveled Half Across The Country To Possibly Stop One Of His Careers"
Silas Replied.

"Oh Silas, We're Not Gonna Stop It, We're Gonna Save It! And Save Trollstopia!"
Poppy Smiled.

"Uh Huh, And How Do You Think That Will Sound To A Human? He'll Never Take Me Seriously! This Will Just Be Another One Of My Schemes He'll Scold Me For. Possibly Forever"
Silas Said.

Poppy's Ears Went Down A Little And Patted Silas's Elbow.
"Don't Worry, Everything Will Work Out, I Promise"

Silas Smiled A Little At Poppy, And Looked Back At Sea.
"I Sure Hope You're Right"

Poppy Then Turned To Branch.
"Now Branch, What Is- Seriously? -.-"

Branch Had His Old Ventriloquist Facing Poppy Instead.
"uHhhhH, bRaNcH iSnt iN hIs nOrmAl bOdY riGhT nOw tO tAlK, iNstEad hIs duMMy hAs posSeSsEd hiM, sO lEaVe a meSsAGe aFtEr tHe bLeEp....Bleep Bloop 😁"

"BRANCH!"
Poppy Put Down Branch's Ventriloquist Dummy.

Branch Groaned.
"Ughhh, Fine. Should've Said After The Hold Music"

"Braaaanch, Why Are You Downbeat? -.-"
Poppy Crossed Her Arms.

"Ummm...I'm Justttt...MISSING TRESILLO'S REGGAETON SONGS! WOOO! HOLA HOLAAAA...PUTAAA...WORDS THAT END WITH A's"
Branch Shouted Out.

Poppy Scoffed.
"Pffft, Name One Of The Songs Tresillo Has Sang"

Branch Tried To Think Of Something.
"Dessss....paaaa....citooo?"

Poppy Kept Her Arms Crossed, Giving Branch "The Look" With Attitude.

Branch Sighed Deeply And Turned To Poppy.
"You Love Me Right?"

"Of Course!"
Poppy Replied.

Branch Held Poppy's Hand.
"And You Love Me Enough That You Wouldn't Abandon Me Right?"

"Never! What Made You Come Across This?"
Poppy Questioned.

"OH UHHH...Just A Random Thought In My Head! Paranoid Branch In The Ol' Noggin"
Branch Knocked His Head Like A Door.

"Awww, Well That Thought Can Escape Your Brain! Cause I Can Assure You No Matter Where I Am Or Where You Are, My Love For You Will Always Stay Strong"
Poppy Rested Her Head On Branch's Shoulder.

"Really?"
Branch Said.

"Really Really"
Poppy Snuggled In Close.

Branch Grinned Relieved About That, But Still A Little Worried If Poppy Would Think About That Suggestion Her And Her Mother Spoke About.

As Both Got Closer Together, Theur Hair Intertwined With Each Other, Forming A Romantic Twist Color Of Blue & Pink Hair.

~~~

~Around The Boat~

Trollex Floated & Searched Around The Boat Deck, Looking For Some Apparent Sunscreen.

Trollex Checked Through All The People On Lounge Chairs Sunbathing And Getting Tans.

"Nope, Not Here, Nah Uh"
Trollex Searched From Each Lounge Chair.

Trollex Peeked In A Man's Belly Button.
"Definitely Not There, But Love The Tan!"

"The Fu-"
The Man Flinched For A Second.

Trollex Rose Up His Head To Spot Sunscreen In A Basket On A Little Table.

Trollex Gasped To Himself.
"GASPSPSPSP, I'VE FOUND IT!"

Trollex Floated Over To The Basket With The Sunscreen.
"OH HO HOOO, Maya Will Definitely Enjoy Mcbang Banging This Beautiful Non-Burned Skin Fish!"

Trollex Took The Cap Off The Bottle Of Sunscreen And Threw It On His Head.

"Now To To Work This Thinggg.."
Trollex Examined The Bottle.

Trollex Felt The Top Of The Can.
"Maybe With A Good Enough- PRESSURE!"

With A Rough Press On The Top Of The Bottle, The Sunscreen Sprayed Trollex Right In The Face, All Over.

Trollex Opened His Eyes And Blinked.
"....This Looks So Wrong Out Of Context"

Trollex Wiped The Sunscreen Off And Floated Up To The Woman Next To Him.

"Ma'am, Your Sunscreen Is Very Defective 🤚"
Trollex Said With Sass, Holding His Hand Up At Her, Then Floated Away.

The Woman Had A Blank Look On Her Face, Then Looked In Her Cup To Make Sure It Wasn't Her Drink.

Trollex Patted Down His Tongue.
"PLAH! That Has A Horrible Concerning Taste. I Wonder If Barb Found Some Better Sunscreen?"

~~~

~Meanwhile~

On The Captain's Deck, Barb Made Her Way Inside, While The Captain Was Steering The Boat With His Crew.

Barb Grinned Mischievously And Rubbed Her Hands Together.
"GOIEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEE.."

Barb Climbed Up On The Counter Of The Boat's Controls With The Wheel And Walked Up To It.

Barb Spotted The Deck's Microphone And Felt It.
"It's So Auto-y Longggg.."

The Boat's Captain Heard A Lil Noise And Looked Down At Barb.
"What The- HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY MIC???"

"SHUT UP-"
Barb Threw A Random Rock At The Captain.

"UNH-"
The Captain Yelped And Flopped Down Unconscious.

"Well The Rats Are Fighting Back Again"
One Of The Captain's Crew People Said.

Barb Grabbed The Microphone.
"HEYYYY!!! ATTENTION ALL YOU SWEATY FREAKS!"

~~~

🔊  YOUR OTHER CAPTAIN HAS RECENTLY BEEN...VIOLENTLY DETAINED. FOR REASONS RELATED TO CULTURAL APPROPRIATION...WHICH MAKES ME SICK! 🔊

The Announcement From Barb On The Microphone Blasted Throughout The Speakers On The Boat.

🔊  SO WITH HIS 40 YEAR OLD SELF, PROBABLY MINIMUM WAGE JOB KNOCKED OUT,
I'M THE CAPTAIN NOW! 🔊

"Uhhh Was That The Emo Kinky Punk Lookin' Chick?"
Ham Questioned.

"And Where's The Real Captain??"
Squeakles Wondered.

"Sounds Like Barb's The Captain Now 😉"
Cooper Winked.

".__________________."
Everyone Did The Face At Cooper.

🔊  I HAVE SOME NEW RULES!
RULE NUMBER 1, IS THAT THE SHIP'S BAR WILL NOW BE LIMITED TO ONLY TV REMOTE HIGH THINGS WITH BIG HAIR 🔊

"Oooooo!"
Trollex Said Excitedly.

🔊  RULE NUMBER 2, PEOPLE GETTING SUN TANS WILL NOW HAVE TO BE THROWN OUT IN SEA...Cause No One Wants To See Their Shiny Burning Skin- 🔊

Prince D Nodded.
"Sounds Fair-"

🔊  RULE NUMBER 3 IS THAT ALL KIDS ARE NOW ALLOWED TO PLAY ON THE ADULTS ONLY DECK! 🔊

Poppy & Branch's Pupils Shrunk And Looked At Each Other.
"O______O....Uh Oh-"

~~~

"SO KIDS, GRAB YOUR WATERGUNS AND BAZOOKAS AND EXPRESS YOUR ANTI-AUTHORITY PLANKTON RAAAAAGEEEEEEE!!!!"
Barb Screamed Out At The Microphone.

~~~

"This Can't Be Good.."
Poppy Said To Herself.

Suddenly, All The Kids Ran Out On The Deck, Where The Adults Were Relaxing To Cause A Whole Bunch Of Trouble.

"YEAAAHHHH!!!"
The Kids Yelled Out, Running Around Like Crazy.

The Kids Took Out Their Waterguns & Water Balloons To Throw And Shoot At All The Adults.

The Adults Screamed As Their Foods & Drinks Got Ruined, And Their Tans Got Messed Up.

~~~

Barb Screamed Of Victory.
"YESSSS!! WHO RUN'S THE BOAT NOWWW??!"

Silas Suddenly Snatched Barb.
"Definitely Not You! -.-"

Barb Sighed.
"And Here Come The David Seville Cult Clan-"

"Seriously Barb? I Mean Like Really? Did You Have To Do That?? WE'RE ON A BOAT!!!"
Poppy Said.

"What Made You Give Any Intention On Doing That??"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

"I Was Bored"
Barb Told Them.

"Ugh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️"
Poppy & Branch Facepalmed.

"Young Man-"
A Voice Said From Behind.

Silas Slowly Turned Around.
"U-Uhhhh...Hiiii? 😁"

The Captain Regained Conciousness And Glared Down At Silas.
"Are You Responsible For These...Rainbow Meerkats?"

Barb Raised Her Eyebrow.
"Really? That's The Best To Describe Us As? Maybe I Threw That Rock Way To Hard- MMM"

Silas Covered Barb's Mouth With His Finger.
"WELL I UM- FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION THEM...SEE, I'M ON THIS MEDICATION AND THEIR MY UHHH...STRESS...PLUSHIES?"

"Hm"
The Captain Crossed His Arms.

"SEE!"
Silas Grabbed Poppy, Branch, And Barb Together In His Hand.

"HEY!"
The 3 Trolls Shout.

Silas Rapidly Squeezed The 3 Trolls In His Fist.
"I CAN FEEL THE STRESS DRAINING"

"OI- OI- OI- OI- OI-"
The 3 Trolls Yelped Out As They Were Being Squeezed With A Squeaking Sound.

"Mhm. Well You Better Make Your Way Out Of The Captain's Room And Back On The Main Deck. We're Arriving In New Orleans In 5 Minutes"
The Captain Told Silas.

Poppy Gasped In Relief.
"OUR NEXT STOP!"

~~~

~In New Orleans, Louisiana~

Arriving In The State Of Louisiana, The City Of New Orleans Was Full Of Vibrant Live Music, With Jazz & Funky Band Music, & The Most Spicy Food Around.

A Rooms-To-Go Truck Entered In Some Heavy Traffic Down The Street And Remained Still In The Line.

While Stuck In Traffic, The Back Of The Truck Opened Up With Ellie & The Alley Cats Inside, After Traveling A Long Time Since They Were In Georgia, Hoping To Make It To Los Angeles Before The Trolls.

Ellie Looked Out The Back Of The Truck And Made Sure It Was Safe To Jump Out.

"Alright, Everyone Out"
Ellie Ordered As She Hopped Down.

The Alley Cats, Butch, Lightning, Ash, & Meathead All Jumped Out From The Back Of The Truck And Onto The Road.

Meathead Spit Out A Mouthful Of Mattress Feathers.
"PFFFFTLAAAAH- How Can So Many Birds Die In A Comfy Bed Surface Made For Kinkies!?!"

"BIRDIES BE YUMMY HARHARRR"
Ash Laughed Out Loud, As He Drooled.

The Alley Cats Moved Out Of The Road, And Walked Along The Sidewalk Down Towards The Ship Docks.

"Ugh, Ellie! We've Been Going Through Different Parts Of Transportation Since Yesterday! We're Never Gonna Catch Up To Those Trolls"
Butch Said.

"What Makes You Say That? -.-"
Ellie Glared Over At Butch.

"Welllll Here's A Thought, A New Leader -.-"
Butch Glared Back.

"Excuse Me?"
Ellie Slowly Approached Butch.

"OOOOOOOOH!"
Meathead Blurted.

Lightning Slapped The Back Of Meathead's Head.
"Stop Instigating-"

"I'm Just Saying, Maybe A New Set Of Leadership Skills Can Do The Job Right"
Butch Said.

"Please- I'm Doing The Best At Leading You All To A Better Life. When I Get Poppy's Hair, We'll All Be Loved By A Owner. Just Wait"
Ellie Insured.

Butch Rolled His Eyes.
"Mhm, Yeah, And Why Should We Wait On You?"

"WAIT!"
Ellie Sniffed The Area.

"You All Smell That?"
Ellie Said.

Meathead Sniffed Ash's Butthole.
"Hmmm, This Seems Like A Dog Thing"

Ellie Smacked Meathead.
"Not That You Idiot! I'm Talking About-"

"AH-"
The Alley Cats Yelped And Moved Out The Way.

Suddenly, The Longboard For The Passengers To Board Off The Ship Came Down, Almost Hitting The Alley Cats.

The Passengers All Walked Off The Boat And Into New Orleans, As Well As Silas & The Trolls.

"Name The Number Of Times I've Been Kicked Off Of Things .___."
Silas Said.

"Keep In Contact With Us And It'll Be Double Your Lifespan"
Barb Said.

The Alley Cats Peeked From The Bush, And Spotted The Trolls, To Slowly Form Grins On Their Faces.

"Alright Guys, We're In Our Next State Lousiana. Great Progress So Far, Now We Just Need Another Transportation Way To Texas"
Queen Lavender Said.

"Wait Wait Hol' Up Elder Pinkie Pie-"
Ham Said.

"Excuse Me?"
Queen Lavender Raised Her Eyebrow With Sass.

"You Smell That Guin?"
Ham Sniffed The Air.

Guin Sniffed Also.
"Mmm, I Smell It Ham! Like Gumbo Or Popeyes!"

"Loveeee That Chicken From Popeyes!"
Ham & Guin Randomly Sung.

"My Man"
Ham And Guin Fist Bump.

"Enough! Playtime Is Over, We Need To Focus"
Queen Lavender Said.

Branch's Nose Twitched.
"They May Have A Point, I'm Smelling A Smell...A Kind Of Smelly Smell...The Smelly Smell That Smells....S m e l l y"

"Like A Litterbox?"
Poppy Tilted Her Head.

"Correction, Like OUR Litterbox"
Ellie Said Right Behind Them.

"AAAAHHHH!!!"
The Trolls Screamed Out Loud.

"And Here We Go Again-"
Barb Said.

"These Are Those Cats Chasing You???"
Silas Backed Up.

Queen Lavender Stood In Front Of The Trolls, Holding Her Staff Out.
"ENOUGH TRACKING US DOWN ELLIE! You Ain't Gettin' My Daughter's Hair-"

Squeakles Hopped On Queen Lavender's Shoulder.
"YEAH! OR ANY OTHER OF HER  HAIRS!"

"Ummm, Standing Here 👇"
Poppy Gestured.

"Oh No No, Trust Me, We're Not Here For Poppy Right Now"
Ellie Said.

"Huh?"
The Trolls Say.

"Huh??"
The Alley Cats Looked At Ellie Confused.

"Then...Who Do You Want?"
Poppy Questioned.

"Him"
Ellie Glanced Over At Trollex.

"ME???"
Trollex Pointed At Himself.

"TROLLEX?!?!?!"
The Trolls Shout Out.

"Why Am I Not Surprised-"
Trollex Said.

"ASH!"
Ellie Ordered.

Ash Nodded And Immediately Pounced At Trollex To Catch Him In His Mouth.

"NONONONO NOT AGAINNN!!"
Trollex Screamed.

"C'MON!"
Ellie Gestured To Run Off & Have The Alley Cats Follow Her.

"HEY!"
Silas Said.

"YAH!"
Butch Scratched Silas's Ankle.

"D'OH-"
Silas Fell Down On His Knees.

The Alley Cats Ran Away Into The City, To Go As Far Away From The Trolls With Trollex.

"AFTER THEM!"
Poppy Told The Trolls.

Silas Slowly Got Up, Limping From His Scratched Ankle While Following.
"Yeah But I'm Okay -.- Ow Ow Ow Ow"

The Alley Cats Kept On Running With The Trolls On Their Trail.

"UHHH ELLIE? I DON'T REMEMBER CATCHING THE BLUE LEVITATING SHARK TALE FISH PART OF GETTING POPPY'S HAIR"
Meathead Said.

"IT WILL WORK IN FULL MOTION! We Just Need A Hideout"
Ellie Replied.

Ellie Looked Up Ahead At The Tallest Building In New Orleans, The Hancock Whitney Center.

"Purrrrrfect~ IN THERE!"
Ellie Directed, As The Alley Cats Followed Her.

"THEY'RE GOING TOWARDS THAT BUILDING!"
Branch Pointed.

"NOT ON OUR WATCH!"
Poppy Said.

When A Businessman Walked Out Of The Building Center, The Alley Cats Slickly Ran Inside Without Anyone Noticing.

"WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT!"
Silas Said As He Ran.

The Security Guard Of The Building Immediately Stopped Silas Before Going Inside.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa There Son. This Center Is Strictly For 21 And Up To Enter"
The Security Guard Said.

"B-BUT UH...I'M JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE'S SON! 😁"
Silas Grinned At The Security Guard.

"-.-"
The Security Guard Just Glared At Silas.

"Of Course That Wouldn't Work-"
Silas Walked Away From The Building.

Queen Lavender Looked Through The Glass Door Of The Building, And Saw The Alley Cats Running Into The Elevator.

"See That Squeaks?"
Queen Lavender Gestures.

"OH HOOO, So Those Pussies Think They're Slick Enough To Use The Elevator???"
Squeakles Said.

Queen Lavender Also Noticed The Elevator Was Going Up To The Top Roof Of The Building.

"They're Going To The Rooftop"
Queen Lavender Told Everyone.

"WHAT?!?!?"
The Trolls Say.

"AND THEY GOT TROLLEX TOO!"
Poppy Puller Her Hair.

"Why Is He Always The One Getting Kidnapped Though?"
Branch Questioned.

"How Nice- Now How Do You Expect Us To Get All The Way Up There? I'M NOT ALLOWED INSIDE!"
Silas Said.

"Man, And All We Wanted Were Owners. Gotta Deal With This James Bond Action Sequence Now"
Ham Said.

"Animated Life My Man"
Guin Said.

Queen Lavender Backed Up To See How High The Building Was At The Rooftop.

"Mom, There Has To Be A Way To Get Up There. Who Knows What They'll Do To Trollex!"
Poppy Said.

"And There Is A Way"
Queen Lavender Replied.

"Wait Really?? To Reach ALLLLL The Way Up There?"
Poppy Pointed Up.

"Yup! It's Possible. Very Mission Im-Possible. Hehehe"
Squeakles Giggled With Squeaks.

"And We Know The Perfect Person To Help"
Queen Lavender Mentioned.

"Oooo! Who?"
Poppy Asked.

"Follow Me, Rest Of You Stay Put"
Queen Lavender Instructed.

"Like If We Have Anywhere To Go-"
Barb Shrugged.

Queen Lavender & Poppy Ran Off Down The Street Of New Orleans, To Find Lavender's Friend In Hope To Help Free Trollex From The Alley Cats.
