The Rodeo Roundup

Intro

Aggie: You can do it solo

Queen Poppy and King Branch: But then you'd be all by yourself

King Trollex: So it'd be more fun to share this one with someone else!

King Quincy and Queen Essence: Together we will soar across the sky and beyond!

Delta Dawn: So turn up your voice!

Queen Barb: Stand up and sing along!

All Normal Trolls and Magic Musical Trolls: All different voices, our melody's ringin'
We're living in harmony! Yeah, we're livin' in harmony!
Our song is much stronger with every Troll singin'

We're livin' in harmony!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Furious galloping hooves were seen on the ground as it revealed to be Anunciacion, showing her to be hatless. At the open fields of the Mondejar Family's former home, Anunciacion was racing along a broad path, toward a hurdle similar to those used in steeplechases; in profile, she takes it in one easy bound. Rounding a turn, she cleared a second hurdle, and headed towards a third one built from two curved poles. Her orange eyes narrowed above a fierce smile as Anunciacion barreled toward this, and she licked her lips and hurled herself into a jump.

In slow motion, the Magic Country Troll glided smoothly over the top pole, except one of her hooves, which tapped against it to give a click that echoed in the sudden silence. Normal speed resumed as Anunciacion hit the ground, and kept galloping, not even losing a step from the contact. Matthew Lucas, Aggie, and the Normal Country Trolls were watching from a fence as Anunciacion jumped a fourth obstacle.

"Woo!" Matthew Lucas cheered for his grandmother, waving enthusiastically with a tan cowboy hat resting on his head, but almost lost his balance. Aggie gently pushed her nephew forward as he grabbed tightly on the fence. His grab at the top rail caused the hat to flip forward, blocking his vision. He pushed it back, and got an acknowledging wink.

A hay bale layed on the path ahead, with an attached length of rope that Anunciacion grabbed in her strong arms. One good swing built up enough momentum to let her fling the mass as if doing the Olympic hammer throw. It sailed away, Anunciacion shading her eyes to watch, and it landed some distance past a line where two others had fallen in previous attempts. She crossed her left hoof over her right, aiming a self-deprecating glance off to the side.

Aggie felt so proud for her aunt as she jumped cheerfully, and her cheer caused Matthew Lucas to drop his grandmother's hat, "Woo-hoo! Aunt Anunciacion, you're sure ta knok ever' Troll's hat off at thay ...err rodeo competishun today!" She spoke with her Country accent since she talked to her Magic Country Troll aunt.

Anunciacion went to the fence, picked the hat up, and flipped it back onto her own head. "Aw, shuks, Aggie, dear. Ay sure hope so."

"Hope so? We know so!" Matthew Lucas was so confident that his grandmother is going to win, "After all, you're the fifteen-time rodeo champion of Charmaasin!"

"Why, you've done got mawe awange ribbons than anyone in our kinfolk evuurr!" Aggie pointed.

Buckaroo rolled her eyes in jealousy when she realized Anunciacion beat her record, "Luky."

"Ayn' we can't wait faw the great Anunciacion Garrido ta win ever' awange ribbon in Harmonious land, ayn' bring home the title av Harmonious Land Rodeo Champion!" Aggie continued.

The old Magic Country Troll did something that was truly rare for her and her family as she blushed.

"Whel, awful hot dang, Aunt Anunciacion, ay nevuurr done knew y'all would be so fierce at the rodeo!" Delta chuckled.

"Yeah, when y'all's tribe allows ta live in TrollsTopia, aw the whowwl Troll Kingdawum faw that there matter, ya should try ta join our rodeo someday," Gust suggested.

"That's ayy great idea, Gust!" Buckaroo agreed, then turned to Anunciacion, "Ay know our rodeos was done meant ta build faw Nawmal Country Trolls, but we done saw how you've been practicing, ay guess y'all are welcome ta join. But ay ken beat ya ta it"

"Why, thank y'all. It'll be an honaw, but faw now, ay have ta focus on my tribe's rodeo," Anunciacion tipped her hat, "Ay didn't do this here faw me aw my music, ay done this here faw my kinfolk, ayn' I'll keep winning faw them"

Holly was touched as she almost burst into tears, "Aww, that's... that's beautiful, ya'll."

"Now, if you'll excuse me, ay bettuurr do mawe a-trainin'," Aunuciacion galloped back on the broad path.

While watching, Holly turned to Aggie, and said, "Aggie, y'all's Aunt Anunciacion is so amazing!"

"Yeah, it'll be bettuurr if she done joined our rodeo!" Delta added.

"Maybe someday. When the tahm is right, I'll convince huurr ta join the rodeos that there ya guys done got in Troll Kingdawum," Aggie reassured that.

While Anunciacion was jumping over the hurdles, she tried to hurdle the last one, but while she tried to impress her grandson and niece, one of her hooves tripped on the hurdle, making her lose her way to land, and stumbled down on the ground.

"OW!" She screamed while holding her hoof.

"Grandma!" Matthew Lucas cried as he jumped over the fence, and rushed to his grandmother.

"Aunt Anunciacion!" Aggie gasped as she and the Country Trolls rushed to her aid.

"Are ya'll okay?" Buckarooasked.

Anunciacion grunted in pain, "Ugh! ay tripped on one av the hurdles, ayn' ay didn't jump high enough!"

"Y'all's hoof is hurt!" Delta said, "We should get y'all bak home. Quikly, hop onto my bak!"

When Anunciacion tried to climb up on Delta's back, with the help of Aggie and Holly, they all rushed back to Charmaasin to get the Magic Country Troll home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Aggie called 2-4-0, which Laguna answered the call, she sent HLFD station 119, where Branch and McJagger worked.

McJagger and his fellow paramedics checked on Anunciacion, and wrapped her hoof with bandages. She was now laid in bed with the Mondejar family and the Country Trolls around her.

"It looks like your hoof is broken. You should be at bed rest for 2 days," McJagger suggested.

"But... but thay ...err rodeo is today! If ay can't come ta thay ...err rodeo, ay will be declaared disqualified," Anunciacion exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Garrido, but you should be resting," the red Funk Troll insisted.

Anunciacion groaned as she realized it was the worst thing that ever happened to her, besides the day of her husband died. She joined the rodeo just for her family, but this year, she couldn't do it this year, "Nnooooooooo!"

"Don't worry, mom. You always attend rodeos every year, you can do it next year," Sarah said, placing a hand on her mother's shoulder.

"But, the rodeo is my only way ta provide faw our kinfolk faw the whowwl year," the Magic Country Troll panicked.

"But some of us can work. It's okay, Aunt Anunciacion. We should earn more for our family," Maricris smiled.

But Anunciacion wasn't so calm that everything will be alright as she sighed sadly, "Ay weysh ay ken do mawe."

Wanting to leave the family alone, the Normal Country Trolls walked out of the room, followed by Aggie behind them.

"Dang. Poaw Anunciacion. She wawked mighty awful hard faw this here rodeo, ayn' now, that there wawk didn't pay off," Holly felt so pitiful.

"Yeah, what ayy waste," Buckaroo nodded, feeling guilty for their friend's aunt.

Aggie was also feeling guilty that her aunt won't do the rodeo this year. She knew her aunt loved the rodeo, and she did it to earn enough money for the family for a year, adding the money that the others earned. She couldn't bear to see her aunt feel so sad like this. Then, she has an idea... it might be risky, but it might be good enough to help Anunciacion.

Aggie walked back inside the room "Hey, Aunt Anunciacion...," her family then turned to her, "Ay think I'll fill in faw ya at the rodeo."

"What?!" the whole Mondejar family gasped.

"Whoa, whoa, Agatha. The rodeo is a risky challenge. Only professional Magic Country Trolls are allowed in the rodeo," Encarnacion warned.

"But I'm part Magic Country, I got the strength, and I got a hoof. Besides, I watched you and Grandpa Bautista practicing the rodeo every year, and I know the obstacles going," she spoke to her normal accent.

"I don't know about this, Aggie. You haven't started your training yet. You could get hurt," Rosario showed some concern for her youngest niece.

Aggie then begged while putting her hands together, "But I promise I'll try. Look, there's still enough time for me to train before the rodeo. I can prove that I can do it."

Anunciacion also didn't like the idea, but she couldn't resist her niece's begging face, and someone should do the rodeo this year. If it's not her, then who would? Even though she wanted some of her other Magic Country Troll relatives to do it, they have other business with their own family. So, there was no other way, "Alright, I'll let ya"

This made Aggie happy as she jumped, "Yes!"

"But I'll watch what y'all done got," Anunciacion said before turning to McJagger, "Is that there okay?"

"Well, as long as you don't use your hooves, you'll be fine," McJagger nodded.

"I think I got a wheelchair right here," Annalisa walked out to get a wheelchair for her mother.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they returned to the fields, Anunciacion was riding on a wheelchair, accompanied by the Normal Country Trolls to watch Aggie what she got for the rodeo. Aggie was inside of a wide pen where there were props that resembled the obstacles.

"Alright, Aggie, there ayy few but awful hard obstacles in this here rodeo. Ferst y'all have ta jump on these three hurdles, run past thay ...err barrels without a-touchin' them on barrel weaving, lasso ayy stuffed cow into thay ...err cercle, make ayy awful long jump ovuurr ayy laarge mud puddle, catch ayy runaway piglet, witch we don't have ayy real piglet, so we done used ayy greased balloon instead, toss thay ...err hay bale with thay ...err rope as far as y'all ken ta pass thay ...err line, ayn' finally, walk on thay ...err balance beam," Anunciacion declared, "When y'all practice all av them soon, you'll be able ta get ta thay ...err rodeo."

"Oh golly," Aggie was a bit nervous about this hard obstacle course.

"It's okay, Aggie, ay know y'all's grandpa done helped y'all how ta lasso," Buckaroo pointed.

"Whel, ay wasn't darn good at it yet," Aggie admitted.

"Okay, whel, let's see what ya done got," Gust said.

Aggie nodded as he twirled her rope in the air several times before throwing it to lasso a stuffed cow, but she missed. Aggie groaned frustratingly.

"Y'all raheet there, Aggie?" Holly asked.

"Uh, yep, ay guess," the Magic Musical Troll nodded weakly.

"Hey, that's just one throw, ya ken do it agayn," Delta suggested.

"Okay," Aggie then twirled her rope again in the air, like she did a minute ago.

"Ya gotta mighty use those there leg muscles, sweetie. Try aiming faw that there there fence post," the Country leader said.

Aggie was having a difficult time with her lasso, despite the fact that her grandfather taught her how to do it before his passing. She released the rope and smiled when she felt it land on something. She tugged the rope tighter and turned to see if she'd lassoed the pole. But the rope caught Delta instead.

"Darn good job, Aggie!" Clampers exclaimed happily as she poked her head out of her aunt's hair. "Y'all just done caught an Aunt Delta Dawn!"

"Oh, ay'm sawry," Aggie said, helping to loosen the rope from Delta

"D-don't be sawry, that there were great! Just gotta wawk on y'all's aim ayy bit." Delta said.

"But hey, here's ayy little something ta get y'all's mowjo goin'!" Holly yelled as she pulled out her guitar, Gust got his fiddle, Buckaroo got her harmonica, Delta got her banjo, Clampers got her Jew's harp, and Anunciacion got her musical washboard.

Holly: Woohoo!
She ken do it!
Yeah, she's got it!
Yeah, she got what it takes!

Gust: She ken make it!
She will take on all thay ...err preyssure!
She won't break!

Delta, Buckaroo, and Clampers: Ayn' ya ken't fake it!
Naw, nahwt at this here rodeo!
So, let me see your stuff!

During the song, Aggie tried to jump over the hurdles. She successfully jumped the first one, but tripped on the second hurdle, and crashed into the third one. She then quickly ran past barrels like waving between them, but she touched one of them, making it fall down. She then tried to lasso a heavy stuffed cow, but it was too heavy and couldn't pull it into the circle as the rope snapped, making Aggie fall into the mud.

Delta, Holly, Gust, Buckaroo, Clampers, and Anunciacion: Does she got what it
Takes ta make it?
Ya'll be ayy cowgerl yet at
this here rodeo!

Does she got what it
Takes ta make it?
Now, ken she win it all ayn' bring that there glawy?
Bring that there glawy home!

Aggie landed on a greased balloon pig when she slipped down because of the mud. She tried to chase it, but the balloon was too slippery and fast. She then tried to throw the hay bale with the rope, but she spun herself a couple of times, increasing her speed, making herself dizzy, and accidentally tossed it while holding onto the rope, forgetting to release it that caused her to fly along with the hay bale. Lastly, she tried to walk on the balance beam carefully and quickly, but because of the mud early, her Country hoof and Funk leg were slippery, making her lose her balance, and fell into a bit of frosting.

Aggie got out of the pit, all messy and tired as she fell down tiredly.

"Ay think we're gonna take ayy lot av tahm ta trayn," Buckaroo said, feeling bad for Aggie to suffer training like this.

"Ya bettuurr be, because the rodeo will be in 2 hours," Anunciacion reminded.

"2 hours?!" Delta, Buckaroo, Gust, Buckaroo and Aggie shouted surprisingly.

"Ay think we have an hour ta train, ayn' aftuurr that there, we have ta sign y'all up on the rodeo," Gust measured the time.

"B-but, I'm nahwt ready! T-t-training an hour is nahwt enough!" Aggie stammered in fear.

"Maybe ya should just drop it, Agatha. Ay don't want y'all ta preyssure you. I'll just do thay ...err rodeo next year," Anunciacion suggested.

But this made Aggie feel guilty for her aunt. She couldn't give up now because she can't do it, there might be a chance, "Naw! I'll do this here, aunt Anunciacion, faw y'all! Faw the kinfolk!" Aggie ran back to the obstacle to train again, but she already made some accidents before getting as far as she could, "Aah!"

"She's gonna get herself killed in there," Buckaroo said as the other Troll nodded in agreement.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 1/2 hour later, Aggie, Delta, Holly, Gust, Buckaroo, and Anunciacion made it to the Cabatwand rodeo as they took the bus to get there. The rodeo took place in the park as it was wide enough for a rodeo.

The six Trolls walked towards the signing table with the Magic Classical Troll official holding the list of contestants' names.

"Hi... I'm here for the rodeo," Aggie said.

"Name please," the official Troll stated.

"Agatha Galido," the Master of All Music said her full name.

The official Troll looked at the list to search for Aggie's name, "Umm, there's no Agatha Galido in this list."

Anunciacion rolled her wheelchair forward, and said, "Umm, my niece fills in faw me. I'm allowing huurr ta do the rodeo"

"Okay, and who are they?" The official pointed to the Normal Trolls behind Aggie.

"These are my..." She tried to think about what her friends are for her.

"Uuh... coaches," Buckaroo spoke

"Hmm, all of them?" The official asked.

"Yes, um," Aggie nodded nervously.

Unbeknownst to Aggie, Delta, Buckaroo, and Anunciacion, Holly and Gust saw the names of events of the rodeo as they walked towards the board to read it.

Clampers then popped out of Delta's hair, and said, "Aggie here handles all the stunt practices, ayn' I'm huurr managuurr. Now, done y'all remembuurr ta get thay ...err sparkling ciduurr faw my client's a-dressin' room?"

"There are no dressing rooms here. This is a rodeo, not a fashion show," the official said.

"What?! Y'all will be a-hearin' frawum our lawyers! We were done promised cider!" The young Country Troll shouted while standing on the table.

Delta quickly grabbed her niece, and said, "Come on, Clampers, let's leave thay ...uhh kind officiaal alone now."

"I'll have my Trolls contact y'all's Trolls! Ya hear me?! This here isn't over!" Clampers yelled while Delta tried to pull her away.

"Um, let's go," Aggie said as she helped Anunciacion push her wheelchair towards the rodeo space.

Clampers returned to the official Troll as she hissed at her, "Cider!"

The official was a little afraid of the young Country Troll as Delta pulled her away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they arrived outside the fences of the rodeo, Delta was still holding Clampers, and scolded her.

"What in the hay was all that there?"

"Ay don't know. Isn't that there what managuurr Trolls do? Ay mean, they make unreasonable demands, ayn' scream ayy lot?" Clampers giggled as Delta put her niece back in her hair.

Just then, a familiar voice came by, and called Aggie's name, "Aggie?"

The Trolls turned around, and found Silovay behind them.

"Silovay? How have ya been?!" Aggie was happy to see her distant cousin in the rodeo.

"What are ya a-doin' here?" Buckaroo asked him

"Oh, ay love a-watchin' thay ...uhh rodeo. Ay mean, I'm ayy Magik Country Troll. Ay know ay should be a-joinin', but rodeo isn't my thing," Silovay replied.

"Hey, ya'll!" Holly shouted as she and Gust came to them.

"Holly, Gust, there ya are! Where have ya been?" Delta inquired.

"Oh, we done helped Aggie sign up, ayn' done ya know near thay ...err end av thay ...err race, ya have ta ride vicious creatures," Gust explained.

Aggie was confused there, "Ya gotta be kidding me, say what?!"

Anunciacion then remembered about the last obstacle for the rodeo, "Oh yeah... yeah, ay fawgot ta tell y'all that there y'all have ta ride on ayy chosen vicious sheep as awful long as y'all ken," This made Aggie cringed in fear, but Anunciacion calmed her down, "It's okay. Sheep are fluffiuurr ayn' provide mawe cushioning."

Gust took out the paper from his hat, and said, "Yeah, ayn' it says here, y'all will be riding Graveyard the sheep."

Silovay gasped in horror, "What?! Graveyard?! Oh, whel, that's the end av y'all."

"Why is it the end av it?" Buckaroo asked.

"What's awful wrong riding Graveyard the sheep?" Holly questioned.

"Read that there agayn," Aggie told Holy and Gust.

Holly read the paper as she skipped some words, replacing them with a 'blah', "Blah, blah, blah, we have done played y'all in the rodeo. Where ya will, blah, ride Graveyard thay ...uhh sheep."

"Oh, ya only done got one wawd awful wrong!" Aggie exclaimed...

"Let's see if they faand that there one wawd!" Silovay squeaked in terror

Holly and Gust looked at the paper as Holly read it again like how she read the paper a second ago, "Blah, blah, blah, blahhy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blahhy, blah, blah. Oh, bull!" She finally read the last word correctly.

"Ah! They done found it!" Silovay clapped his hands.

This was where Holly and Gust realized they accidentally signed Aggie to ride a bull instead of a sheep.

"Ya signed me up ta ride Graveyard the bull!" Aggie shouted angrily.

"Are y'all excited?" Gust grinned sheepishly.

"What's thay ...err difference between riding ayy sheep ayn' riding ayy bull?" Holly inquired.

"Death! Death is the difference!" Aggie snapped.

"Ay bet y'all's aunt rode ayy bull befawe," Clampers pointed when she popped out of her aunt's hair again.

"Actually, naw. Ay only ride sheep. The last Mondejar who evuurr rode ayy bull were our dad's brother, but he done lasted 3 seconds ayn' done died," Anunciacion said.

Aggie suddenly felt the fear inside her that a member of her family died for riding a bull, and she wasn't sure if she's gonna survive too, "Oh..."

"Alright, look, we're done supposed ta warm-up over yonder with the othuurr Magik Country Troll contestants. Be careful. Nahwt all ov them are friendly," the old Magic Country Troll said as she pointed each contestant, "That there one there is Clifford Pander, he's the champion frawum Anticque. Timbra Curry frawum Pie-na, Zerine Heek frawum Akclan..., but watch out faw..." Anunciacion scoffed when she saw one of her rivals, "Ikey Rollon. She's the nasty one. Don't wanna done caught up in huurr path."

"Umm, Aggie, ay don't think this here is ayy darn good idea," Delta was still unsure if this is a good idea for Aggie to take the risk.

"Ay have ta. My name is already on the list. There's naw a-turnin' bak now," Aggie said. She didn't know what she was thinking anymore.

Just then, Ikey Rollon came by, seeing Anunciacion on a wheelchair as she chuckled, "What done happened, Anunciacion? Tripped on ayy awful small pebble, ay see. Too awful bad ya won't be in the rodeo this here year"

"Ay may nahwt, but my niece is gonna be," Anunciacion placed her hand on Aggie's arm.

"Thay ...err rainbow Nawmal Troll-friendly oddball? Thay ...err last tahm she lassoed with ayy rope is she tied herself up. I've saw bettuurr than othuurr Trollings lassoed befawe they done chose theuurr musik. Guess y'all's niece is nahwt mighty cut out faw thay ...uhh awful big league, is she? Maybe you're afeared you'll lose ta ayy non-farm Troll, that's why ya done broke y'all's hoof ta get out av this here rodeo. Ha! That'd be embarrassing?" Ikey snickered.

"She would nevuurr be afeared av the likes av y'all!" Shouted Anunciacion.

"Whatevuurr. I'll see ya at the fineysh line, as awful long as I'm nahwt too bawed frawum a-waitin'," Ikey rolled her eyes before walking away.

"Oh, you'll see her, alright! You'll see huurr accept the trophy!" Anunciacion yelled angrily, "Why that there naw darn good salamander!"

"Aunt Anunciacion, what if she's right? Maybe ay can't win the rodeo," Aggie said sadly.

"You've done got plenty av time, Aggie! Ayy whowwl 10 minutes ta practice!" Clampers said.

"!0 minutes?!" The Country Trolls, Aggie, Silovay, and Anunciacion shouted in unison

"Contestants to the starting line!" The announcer Troll said, his voice echoing from a megaphone somewhere out of sight.

"Oh, strike that there, ay guess my watch is ayy bit slow." Clampers said, holding up her right wrist where a watch had been drawn onto her skin.

Aggie started hyperventilating. Somehow she had managed to spend 1 1/2 hours practicing, and she still couldn't get it right.

"Calm down naw, Aggie, sweetie, y'all'll be just awful fine," Anunciacion said calmly.

"Oh dear, oh dear." Aggie whispered, shaking on her hoof and leg.

"Come on, Aggie." Holly said, pushing her friend along with her head. Aggie's hoof and leg dug into the ground as she was pushed.

"Contestants ready? On your mark..." the announcer Magic Rock Troll started.

"Ya ken do it, Aggie!" Gust said with a smile.

"Get set..."

"Naw, ay ken't! Ay'll ruin ever'thing!" Aggie countered.

"Ay know ya ken! Besides, you the best- oh hey! Look! Ay done found the cotton candy Troll!" Clampers said distracted mid-sentence as she left her aunt's hair, and chased after the cotton candy

"The best what?" Aggie asked frantically," Clampers!"

The Magic Rock Troll fired his toy pistol that made a loud banging sound as the Magic Country Troll contestants and Aggie galloped off!

"Come on, Aggie!" Buckaroo, Silovay, Holly, and Gust cheered for their friend.

"You can do it!" Delta, Clampers, and Anunciacion shouted.

In the rodeo, the Trolls have to jump over the hurdles. Aggie jumped as high as she could so she wouldn't trip on the hurdles like what happened in her practice. Luckily, not any part of her body, not even her skin, touched the hurdle. That's a good sign. Second, she had to "weave the barrels" as she ran between barrels. Clifford Pander wasn't so lucky as he tripped one of the barrels. Aggie saw she was galloping towards the barrel as she quickly jumped over it so she wouldn't trip on it. Third, she took a rope, and twirled it around before tossing it, lassoing a stuffed cow. She quickly pulled the stuffed cow backwards into the circle. She was the third one to finish this obstacle. Aggie ran as fast as she could to catch up as she jumped as high and far as she could over the mud pit, and she landed safely at the other side, while Zerine Heek fell into the mud pit. Next, at the next event, the Trolls opened a small pig pen, letting 5 little piglets run around. The contestants tried to catch the runaway piglets as Aggie caught one when it was trapped on the fence, and almost found a way to escape. When Aggie caught it, she put the piglet back in the pen before proceeding to run. When Aggie came second, she quickly grabbed the rope that was tied around a hay bale as she spun around before releasing it, tossing the bale over the line, just 8 meters away from the line. That counted. Then, she came to the balance beam first as she balanced herself walking on the beam so she wouldn't fall. She almost tripped in the middle, but she made it at the other side.

When the contestants made it to the last event of the rodeo, the announcer announced, "This is it, Trolls! The last obstacle of the rodeo, the main event: The creature-riding!" A crowd of Trolls roared with cheer, "Whoever rides their creature longest wins! Wooly the sheep is for Clifford Pander, Ronda the sheep for Timbra Curry, Tara the sheep for Zerine Heek, Lightning the sheep for Ikey Rollon, and Graveyard the bull for Aggie Galido. Who would it be? One way to find out!"

"y'all ken do this here, Aggie! Y'all ken do anything! That there bull is nothing!" Buckaroo shouted. She thought Aggie would do it, until she saw inside the pen was a big strong black bull with long horns, and a ring on his nose, "That's the bull?!"

When Aggie got on the bully, Holly yelled, "Aggie, tell the bull y'all wan-ta be ayy veterinarian. It's y'all's only hope!"

"Ay wan-ta be ayy veterinarian," Aggie told the bull, but he began to shake and roared, "HE DOESN'T CARE!"

At the pen next to Aggie, Ikey got on the sheep, and told her, "Give it up, oddball! Y'all don't have thay ...err guts ta win faw y'all's aunt aw y'all's kinfolk."

Aggie was so angry at Ikey for insulting her family. She had to stay focused on this rodeo as she took a deep breath, "Y'all ken do this here, Aggie. Ya ken do this here!"

Finally, the pens were open as the creatures ran around as the contestants were hanging on their animals.

Timbra fell off the sheep first with only 3 seconds, Clifford fell the second with only 7 seconds of hanging, and the third one was Ikey, who held seconds. Aggie held tightly on Graveyard, who ran around, and wiggled himself to get Aggie off of him. Her Country Troll friends and her Aunt Anunciacion watched in hopes that Aggie would make it to ride the bull longer and survive at the same time.

But then, Aggie slid off the bull, and fell down on the ground.

"Ooohh!" The crowd of Trolls winced at the scene.

The Country Trolls quickly flipped over the fence, and galloped to their friend's aid.

"Aggie, are ya okay?!" Delta asked as Holly and Buckaroo helped the MMT get up.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Aggie grunted in pain, "Ay done stayed on faw like 30 seconds."

"Yeah, we know y'all could," Gust patted her back.

Silovay approached them while pushing Anunciacion to them, "Aggie, look, y'all done it," The young Magic Country Troll pointed the stopwatch on the screen as the Trolls looked to see it.

The stopwatch revealed 18.318 seconds that Aggie stayed on the bull.

"Ladies and gentletrolls, boys and girls, I can't believe what I just saw there!" The announcer shouted, "That was the longest time for a Troll to stay in a bull right there!" Aggie was happy that she thought she made the longest record of riding the bull as her friends and relatives hugged her "... in the Mondejar family!" This made Aggie, the Normal Country Trolls, and the Magic Country Trolls' smiles drop as they looked at the stopwatch again that someone has the longer record than Aggie. Only 2 seconds ahead as the time of the other contestant took 20.728 seconds to stay on the sheep, "Not as long as the winner of this year's rodeo! Zerine Heek!"

The crowd of Trolls cheered for her as they lifted her up in the air with the big gold trophy, and an orange ribbon.

One of the judges gave Aggie a medium-sized silver trophy with a green ribbon as second place. Though Aggie accepted her prize, she felt sad that she didn't win the rodeo.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, the Trolls made it back to Charmaasin with Silovay as he went back to his home. Aggie was silent sadly all the way home while holding the trophy.

Anunciacion noticed how her niece behaved during the trip home, "Aggie, y'all haven't done talked since we done left."

"I'm sawry, aunt Anunciacion," Aggie sighed sadly, "Ay done thought ay could win the rodeo faw ya, but ay didn't."

"It doesn't mattuurr. Besides, ya done came in second playe. "

"Yeah, but what would our kinfolk say?"

Just then, in front of the Mondejar house, a long banner that said, "CONGRATULATIONS!" Was hanging at the edge of the roof, and the whole Mondejar family, and the Main Normal Trolls were standing and waiting for Aggie, Anunciacion, and the Normal Country Trolls to arrive.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" They all shouted in unison.

The six Trolls were surprised as Aggie asked, "What's all this here?"

"We heard what you did in the rodeo, and we're very proud of you!" Vic exclaimed.

"You do?" Aggie inquired, "But I didn't win."

"Who cares if you didn't win?!" Michael laughed.

"Aggie, we're your family. We don't care if you came last. You're still number one in our books," Annalisa winked.

"So...you're not upset or disappointed?" When Aggie asked, All of the Trolls shook their heads. Then, Aggie asked, "But what about the money? We don't have enough to last a whole year."

"Aggie, we can always find a way to earn more money for the whole family. We'll work together, and we'll earn enough until the next rodeo," Rhealyn answered.

"Besides, what's more important is you did a good job in the rodeo," Dolores said.

"And not only that, you're the very first Troll in the Mondejar family to ever ride longer on a bull!" Rosario added.

"Our uncle lasted three seconds, but you lasted 18, and you survived! No one in our family has ever made it that long!" Encarnacion squeaked happily.

"Seeing you there riding that bull, it made me think..." Anunciacion spoke as the others thought she's gonna ride a bull, but..., "I won't ride on a bull."

"You won't?" Sarah repeated.

"Mmm-mm. Besides, I'm old! I would die if I rode on a bull, but you..." Anunciacion put both of her hands on her youngest niece's shoulders, "Are amazing back there! You made us so proud."

"Your Grandma and Grandpa would be so proud of you too," Bernadette smiled proudly.

Aggie's eyes began to sparkle as, despite that she didn't win the rodeo, and when her family was proud of her, she was proud of herself.

"Aggie, we wanted to give you this on your birthday, but... since you were out there on your birthday, it was already too late, and I think Papa wanted you to have this for your success on the rodeo," Salome walked towards Aggie, holding a lasso rope in her arms.

When Salome handed the rope to Aggie, the young Magic Musical Troll looked at it, and noticed the words on it, and read, "'Don't Worry, Sweet Pea. I'm Here'" Aggie teared up, and wiped those small tears away as she remembered the words of her grandfather when he was still alive.

"Come on, everyone. Let's celebrate and eat before our food gets cold!" Annalisa declared as every Troll went inside the house to eat.

Though Aggie stayed behind while her Normal Country Troll friends smiled at her, proud that she embraced her Country Western side. Aggie gave her new rope a twirl before tossing the end on the screen with the word, "The End."

Well, this is my new chapter.

This chapter was supposed to be in the future, but I decided to make this early because... it is sad to say... this chapter is dedicated to my aunt, who passed away yesterday, possibly due to COVID-19 with complications. One of them was black fungus. Anunciacion Garrido was based on my deceased aunt, and it was a very sad moment for our family. My aunt was so special, and she's a very loving mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother.

This chapter was based on My Little Pony: The Last Roundup, My Little pony fanmade audio drama, Princess Trixie Sparkle, Girl Meets World: Girls Meets Texas part 1, TrollsTopia: Buckin' Branch, and Bunk'd: summer Winter Wonderland

Bring that Glory Home song doesn't belong to me.

Note: In the rodeo, the catching the piglet challenge didn't add grease on a piglet, but they ran fast.

Special thanks to MasterClass60 for helping me in this chapter.

I hope you like it very much. Please review.
