A.N. Okay, I know it's nowhere NEAR Christmas, but I was watching a video from "A Christmas Carol Musical" and inspiration just struck me! The secondary characters will either be from the franchise, my imagination, or the Crazy Party Forest app. Okay? Okay!

A lone bespectacled troll sat at his writing desk, pondering something.
It was Trollmastime at the Troll Tree, and he wanted to write something to commemorate the occasion.
Quite fitting to his role, since he was Codex, the bookkeeper.
He slammed his head down suddenly.
"Oh, what's wrong with me? Usually inspiration would've hit me by now!" he lamented.
Previously, Codex had been looking over books some trolls of the past had written about Trollmas, trying to draw inspiration.
And as you can probably tell, he hadn't had any luck.
Suddenly, a knock on the door made Codex pause.
He got up, and opened the door.
"Ah, good evening, Queen Poppy! Merry Trollmas!" he greeted the pink troll.
She hugged him.
"Hey, Codex! What's up? Oh, before I forget-" here she pulled out one of her signature homemade invitations, "-here's the invitation to the big Trollmas party!"
The bookkeeper graciously accepted it, and proceeded to tell her about his predicament.
Poppy tapped a finger to her chin in thought.
"Maybe it could be about someone learning the joy of the season?" she suggested.
Codex's face lit up.
"Of course! Thank you, Queen Poppy! I'll definitely be at the party, but as for now, I've gotta get writing!"
He slammed the door in the queen's face.
The good thing was, it didn't bother her too much since Codex has always been like that when he gets inspiration.
A few days later, it was Trollmas Eve, the beginning of the celebrations.
All the trolls and Bergens (who had decided to celebrate as well) gathered around the Troll Tree for their beloved queen to make the opening speech.
"Okay, everyone! First things first, I'd like to say MERRY TROLLMAS EVE!" started Poppy, to a round of cheers.
After the din had quieted, she continued.
"It's been an amazing year, not only for us, but for our new friends as well!" and with this the bright pink troll gestured to the Bergens.
"I know you're probably waiting for this elongated speech, but rest assured, that was my dad's thing! This year, I've decided to break tradition just a little bit. Instead of a speech, I have a special treat for all of you! To open the celebration, please welcome Codex!"
And with this, she stepped aside, and gestured for the bespectacled bookkeeper to step forward.
The watching trolls and Bergens, needless to say, were very surprised, but shrugged and went along with it.
Codex stood at the center of the speech platform, an Amplifly held to his mouth.
"At the queen's request, I'm going to be reading to you my latest masterpiece: A Trollmas Carol," he stated.
The audience cheered, for they loved a good story as much as the next person!
The bookkeeper held up a hand for silence.
"First things first, any reference to anyone living or dead is entirely coincidental. And now, without further ado...a Trollmas Carol."
He cleared his throat and opened the book.
"Smidge was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that..."
A.N. Well, there's the first chapter! Read and review, and I'll try my best to get this done before Christmas!
