Coming Together

The Music Festival in Mexico is being set up as the locals were setting up papercut decorations in Mexico City. A lot of fans were cheering and welcoming them as the Snack Pack and their fellow label mates arrived at the airport.

"Ah, Mexico, tiya Corrine wanted me to go here and it's a good thing Gristle fucking nailed it," Branch said.

"I know, that's a lot of fans," Rose said.

""Okay you fans, while the stars are going to perform onstage, you will hand out flyers and tickets to the concert-goers," Gristle instructed them.

"Okay!" said the fans.

"You will also sell merchandise and promote the concert by putting posters all around," Gristle instructed. "For those with kids, you'll be under adult supervision."

While Gristle was explaining to the lottery winners about their roles in the music festival, Poppy noticed that there were more bands joining the tour.

"More fucking bands? Really?" Branch gasped.

"Hey y'all!" A stocky, Indigenous American young woman with brown skin, large light blue hair styled into a ponytail with two purple striped ties, called out to them. She wears a white top with a ruffle and pink rim that exposes her midriff, and blue denim jeans. "I'm Hayley Topsannah, a.k.a Holly Darlin' and I'm a member of the Wild Hooves."

"Nice to meet you," Poppy said.

"I like you, you're not like the other bands we met," she said.

"HEY YO!!! WHAT'S UP!" A tanned young man with various pink-toned dreadlocks held in a neon blue topknot shouted. He is wearing a dark purple tank top with a green heart, green and pink arm sleeves, purple baggy pants with a pale blue square outline pattern, and a line of pink at the hem and sneakers.

"Okay, and you must be Antonio Delgado," Poppy said.

"Yes, my friends call me Synth and you must be Poppy," He nodded. "It is so meh-meh-meh-meh-meh to meet you."

"Nice to meet you all," Synth said towards the crowd.

"Now, let's PAR-TAY!!!," he said pointing

Then, a plump, tan-skinned man walked next to Synth. He has light pink hair and cheeks, a curled mustache and a goatee. The lower part of his hair is tied into a small ponytail, and he wears a black coat with white borders, a formal shirt, a bowtie with a gem, a vest, formal pants, and shoes.

"Greetings," He said in a posh accent. "Dante Ricci a.k.a Dante Crescendo, royal composer and conductor of Classical Crest."

"Wow, he sure has class," Poppy gasped.

"Yeah, I also wanna tell ya that he is here," Cooper said.

"Who?" Jussy asked him.

"A startup band, they hailed from New Orleans," he answered.

"Ooh!!" she giggled.

"We have a band joining us as well," Quincy said. "Vibe Town is here!"

A chubby, muscular, dark-skinned man came up next. He has purple and red hair tied in a bun, and a purple goatee, and wears golden-framed shades with rose-colored lenses. He also has small studs on his ears. He wears a jacket with a yellow, feathery collar, a tangerine shirt, magenta pants with fringes, and leather shoes.

"Are you Lownote Jones?" Poppy asked with a smile.

"You got that right, baby." He answered with a wink.

"That voice, you make everything sound so cool," Smidge said.

"It's because I have long, vocal chords," He answered and explained everything, which made Smidge bored but everybody was charmed. "I'll see you around, baby."

"Good news guys," Rose announced to them. "An old friend of mine from Japan is joining her band, Ryuuko, on the tour."

"Hey Rosethorn, long time no see!" a Japanese young woman with purple hair with several white streaks, and reddish brown almond-shaped eyes shouted behind her. Her hair is styled into two pigtails with red hairbands, and she has purple lipstick. She has a purple hoop earring on her left ear, and two red and blue colors on her right, as well as a purple stud. She wears a purple ripped skirt, a black tank top with a red heart and crossbones motif that exposes her belly button, and a black studded belt. She also has black studded bracelets, blue fingerless gloves, a black armband on her left upper arm, black boots, and a purple and red leg warmer on her left leg.

"Guys, this is Val Thundershock, lead singer of Ryuuko," Barb introduced her to them.

"Konichiwa," Val said.

"Welcome, I am so glad you came Kaminari Valentina," Rose said

"Wait, wait, wait, glad I came? Rōzu?" Val said. "We don't follow through under commitments."

"What?! No, not at all...I mean..." Poppy stammered.

"We are expecting you to be here," Rose said.

"Expecting me to be here," Val said. "Is that it?"

"Oh, yeah I....uh......." Poppy nodded.

"Haha! Just messing with you two," Val smirked at Poppy and Rose. "Or am I? I am NOT MESSING WITH YOU!!! I rocked so fucking hard."

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Poppy gasped but Rose giggled.

"Same old Val," Rose sighed.

"You two know each other?" She asked her.

"Yeah, we met in Tokyo during grandma's comeback tour when I took martial arts lessons," Rose answered.

"Anyway Rose, let's catch up," Val said as she and Rose caught up together.

"I like that bitch," Branch smirked, admiring Val nearby, who gave him the rock hand gesture while she talked with Rose.

"Poppy, we finally got new buddies, what now? SHIT!" Smidge asked.

"Now, let's show them the time of their lives," Poppy said.

"Guys, guess what, Val asked me if I could give her and our new friends a sightseeing tour here in Mexico today while we rehearse our songs and performances for this goddamn festival," Rose said. Her friends shouted in response.

"Wow, that's fucking great news!!" Poppy squealed.

"What are you waiting for, ya sad sacks of shit? Let's blow this town!" Val shouted as they started the tour around Mexico. They fooled around in the Bosque de Chapultepec, explored Chapultepec Castle, Museo Nacional de Antropologia, the museums of Coyoacan, and went shopping at Polanco while practicing their songs and music in the parks.

Poppy:
Everybody get ready
It's finally the day we been waitin' for
Everybody is comin'
Let's show them the best version of our world

Rose:
A little extra spice to make it nice
And one of their songs on the stereo
It'll let them know that it can feel like home
Only better!

All:
So raise your hands up all the way
It's a special day
Yeah, let's celebrate
Let's all come together for the first time ever
So much magic in the air
Let's all raise our voices
Join in on the chorus
Sing it loud without a care
Come on!

After the tour, they went to their hotel to have lunch and rest in their rooms. Poppy was reading the history of Mexico while Rose was learning how to speak in Spanish with Branch.

"Hola, soy Helena," Rose said in Spanish.

"Hola, soy Bernardo," Branch responded while eating a taco.

"Guys, do you know that Teotihuacan is believed to be the place where the legend of the five suns happened?" Poppy asked him.

"Si, my tiyo told me that story when I was researching on our history class about creation myths, according to my fucking blood-crazy ancestors, the Mexica people, the world was destroyed and recreated five times," Branch said.

"Oh yeah, Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, Chalciutlicue, and Tonatiuh," Rose added. "I heard the music festival will be held at Teotihuacan."

"I am so inspired by the patterns of Mexico, they really know how to make it fucking colorful," Satin said.

"Not to mention those feathers, they're so badass," Chenille agreed with her.

"Ooh, I should text Val some emojis," Poppy squealed as she texted some emojis to her and Val texted back. "That's fucking weird, she responded with this."

She showed them the emoji that Val responded: If it's gonna be in Teotihuacan, I bet you're ready to hear this: ❤️🩸🔪

"What does that mean?" DJ Suki asked them.

"She might've been writing a song that is about the Aztec human sacrifice," Rose answered.

"Bollocks, that's what I learned when we went to the Museo Templo Mayor," Biggie shivered. "All those skulls, they're like looking at me."

"Oh yeah, I feel like I was in H-E-double hockey sticks! I'm gonna have a panic attack!!" Cooper complained.

"Shhh, shh, there, there, it's alright, they're already gone," Jussy said, calming him down.

"No you fucking idiots, nobody is gonna literally rip your heart out," Rose said. "It already happened years ago."

"The skulls literally scared my ass off," Cooper shivered.

"Guys, I think Val wants to meet us in her room," Darnell said as he barged into the room.

At Val's room, the Snack Pack with Darnell, Lownote Jones, Synth, Dante Crescendo, Holly Darlin', and all of their labelmates were gathered before Val and her laptop.

"So guys, what do you think of the demo I made?" she asked them.

She played the demo on her laptop.

Yeah, I came to rock
I got the fire
Ragin' inside me and it's burnin' strong
Ow! I never stop
I'm a live wire
Yeah, I can rock until the morning comes, ow!

I live for the pandemonium,
Loud, rough, raw
I'm not just sweet and harmonious,
I rock hard!

"I wanna say, you really need to work on the music notes and the lyrics but you made that song so well." Rose said.

"What?! You mean it?" Val gasped.

"Yeah, you are as good as Barb does," Poppy added.

"Your song and the lyrics are good but you need to try and make the music more rock, so try your best to improve," Barb said.

"Wow, nobody said that about my songs, everybody else would either criticize or taunt me for my songs," Val said. "I don't want to be made fun of for this."

"We all have this kind of shit happen to us, you're not alone," Rose said.

"You do?" Val asked her.

"You don't know how many bitches criticize me for my body shape in social media," Rose responded. "Fuck their assholery, I'm proud of who I am."

"I was mocked for my choice of aesthetic," Poppy added.

"I was made fun of for my weight but I proved those bitches wrong by playing football," Branch quipped.

"We all went through the same thing as you do," Jussy replied.

"So, about the emoji," Poppy said.

"You mean that emoji I sent? It's just an inspiration that I had for my next song, I love the history of Mexico where the Mesoamerican civilizations literally rip out hearts," Val said.

"That's what I learned about my ancestors, they are actually fucking badasses!" Barb said.

"I learned about it from my uncle years ago," Branch said. "He's a history teacher in another school."

"Wow, boy toy, my history teacher is your fucking your uncle? That's gnarly!" Riff added.

"When I saw your emojis, I don't fucking get it," Poppy said.

"Wait, you don't get anything about it?" Val asked. "Oh, I see, just because I am a rocker, doesn't mean I am hard to understand."

"Actually, yeah Val," Poppy nodded. "To me, you are."

"Oh, ok. Rock on," She smirked.

"The point is that coming together for this fucking would be challenging, I was exposed to all of the cultures from each country when I was with my grandma when she's on tourbut if you asked me, it was totally worth it," Rose said.

"Coming together gives us a chance to become friends, we learn from each other, and grow into one nation. Different but unified, like...." Poppy stammered.

"Many notes, On'nanoko," Val answered. "Making one beautiful chord."

"You really touched my heart, Val," Rose nodded.

"Yes, that's exactly what I've been trying to say," Poppy said.

"Don't get used to it, bitch," Val frowned.

"Okay, what about the rest of you, what do you say?" Rose asked. "Let's help each other work on our songs so that we can understand each other."

"Then again, dang y'all," Holly said. "We could all make some great music together."

"You got that right, baby," Lownote nodded. "Let's do it."

"TOGETHER!!!!" They all cried as they started helping each other write their songs and come up with ideas to write new ones.

Poppy:
Are you ready for a good time?
'Cause that's how we like to roll
Yeah, we always find a reason to celebrate

Holly Darlin':
Was born ready for a good time
And I'm already havin' a ball
I like the feelin' of this place

Synth:
Yeah, yeah, all my people came ready for a party
Yeah we rave till the morning comes
We can show you how we do when we come through
How we movin' to the rhythm

Dante Crescendo:
Oh, I didn't know that life
Could ever be this fu-uh-uh-uh-uh-un

Lownote Jones:
Jubilation in the air
Raise your hair
Wave it left, wave it right
Can ya dig, outta sight
Oh, yeah

All:
When we're together
We find perfect harmony
Magical everything
Here we go to the sky
You and I will find a good time

It's guaranteed
You, me, everybody
Magical everything
Here we go to the sky
You and I will find a good time

This is based on the first episode of Trollstopia but they're still on tour so yeah.
