Chapter 3




Ash, Brutus, and Axel had crash landed in Pop Village.

They then noticed the Trolls.

Ash said, "Look at that. Those are pretty creatures."

They saw Poppy stretching her hair.

"Did you see that?"

Brutus then pointed out Trollex coming out of the lagoon and into the air.

Ash said, "They're magic. I think this is a jackpot."

Back in the dark castle, Ash had contacted Callista again.

She said, "Ash, how dare you interrupt me with this image of a bunch of Trolls! Wait a minute."

She liked what she saw.

Ash said, "Oh, most fair mistress, it is our belief that the hair of these here Trolls possess magical properties. Would their hair not make a most delightful replacement cloak for your loveliness if woven into a fabric?"

Callista answered, "Oh, yes! I must have that hair! Return at once. We must prepare a plan for obtaining it."

When she signed off, she said to herself, "Soon, everywhere I look, I'll see me. Me!"

Back in Pop Village, Hickory and Biggie were speaking with Poppy, Trollex, and Kim-Petit.

Biggie said, "Poppy, you and Trollex are amazing leaders. And Kim, you can do amazing dance moves. What can I do that's of any use to anyone?"

Kim answered, "I know how you feel. Sometimes, it can feel as though everything's going wrong. Like, just the other day, I wanted to add one of my favorite dance moves to a new song, but there wasn't enough time."

Biggie said, "No, that's not what I meant."

Poppy said, "Practice makes perfect. You've simply gotta set your mind to it, Biggie."

Biggie responded, "But, I have been practicing. I try."

Trollex then said, "Maybe you're trying too hard. Maybe you need to have a little fun. Some excitement. Like, a crazy rave party!"

Biggie just said, "But, you don't understand. I want to be useful. I want to do something important."

Kim said, "Oh, you're so serious. You just need a little more sunshine in your life."

Biggie just left in a huff, "Oh, never mind."

Hickory went after him, "Biggie, wait. Don't go away like that."

The three other Trolls were left alone.

Which was bad because the rocs snuck up on them with the net.

Poppy asked, "What do you think was up with Biggie?"

Trollex answered, "I don't know. I don't think he liked our advice."

Kim said, "Boy, how's that for gratitude?"

They all then heard evil laughter.

They looked above them.

The rocs had dropped the net.

The three Trolls screamed as they were entangled in the net and were carried off by the three beasts to Slippery Slope.

Trollex yelled out, "Where are you taking us?!"

Poppy yelled out, "And why?!"
