Hey guys!!! I'm not dead!!! So here's the next chapter! This chapter takes you back to the village btw. As always, I hope you enjoy!!

DISCLAIMER:

I DID NOT COME UP WITH THE IDEA TROLLS, NOR DO I OWN IT!!! (just to make that clear)

"Oh no, oh no, OH NO!! WHAT IF THEY'RE IN DANGER!!" Biggie panicked,

"Biggie, I told you! They're fine!! Sure, they have been gone for longer than we expected. But there is no need to worry!! With Branch's survival instincts, they should be fine!" Suki calmed him.

Suki was worried herself actually. It had been several days, and the journey originally was only supposed to take about two. What could've happened to make them late? Suki hoped that they were alright.

"Yeah, no need to worry, hon!" Chenille said,

"I'm sure they'll be alright!" Satin finished.

"O-ok," Biggie replied, obviously worried still.

Suki smiled as reassuringly as she could. She hated seeing Biggie so worried like this. Just then, Guy came up to them

"Hey guys! Cooper just made some cuuuupcaaaakes!!!! Wanna come have some!!" he announced

"Yeah, sure!" Suki replied, the others agreeing.

Cooper's cupcakes were the best. If anything would cheer Biggie up, it would be his cupcakes. And so, everyone went to Cooper's pod. Once they got to the front door, Cooper came and greeted them.

"Hey you guys! I got this new cupcake recipe that I made, and it's cupcakes and delicious! Wanna come in and have some?" Cooper said energetically as always.

Everyone nodded in responce, and so Cooper opened the door wide to let them in. Cooper grabbed a tray of cupcakes in his mouth, and carefully carried it to the others, who were sitting on around a table in Cooper's kitchen. Everyone grabbed one and Suki took a bite of hers.

"Mmmmm! These cupcakes are delicious!! What is in them?" Suki asked

"Some blueberries that I picked in the forest, chocolate, and the last ingredient is a secret!" Cooper told them

"Well, what ever that last ingredient is, It sure made this cupcake taste great!" Biggie smiled

Everybody nodded in agreement. Once everybody scarffed down their cupcakes, they all played a game of Truth or Dare in the living room, starting with Guy.

"Ok Biggie, truth or dare?" Guy asked

"Oh hmmm... Truth?" Biggie answered

"When and where did you find Mr. Dinkles?"

"Well, I found him, if I am correct, a few weeks after the escape from the Bergens when I was exploring the forest. This little fella got himself stuck in some old webs, and I helped him get out. Ever since then, Mr. Dinkle has been by my side." Biggie said, "OK, my turn! Chenille, truth or dare?"

"Dare!" Chenille exclaimed

"I dare you to stuff a WHOLE cupcake in you mouth and say fluffy bunny!"

"Well, ok!" Chenille grabbed another cupcake, peeled the wrapper off, and stuffed it in her mouth the best she could.

"Fuffy bufnee!!" Chenille mumbled through her cupcake.

Everyone laughed, and Chenille swalloedd the cupcake, going to get a drink of water.

"Ok, Suki?" Chenille said once she came back, "Truth or dare, hon?"

"Truth" Suki replied

"Who do you have a crush on?" She asked, a devilish look on her face.

"I... eh... uuum" Suki did have a crush on someone infact, its just that it was kinda supposed to be a secret, like most crushes are supposed to be, y'know? Why did she have to pick truth! This was obviously gonna come up coming from Chenille!! Well, she had to say it know, Suki never chickens out in truth or dare.

"I-I have a crush on..." Suki stopped as she heard and felt the tree shake from some kind of thing on the ground.

That was strange, the bergens never really came to the tree on the count of their big feet, and the chance of stepping on someone. Suki could tell that the others knew that as well because of the confusion clear on their faces. The stomping continued as Suki and her friends went to the door to see what was outside. Everbody gasped as they saw huge creatures that seemed be made of stone marching towards the tree, trolls dodging their enormous feet. At the head of the group was a grey troll sitting in the hand of one of the creatures. The grey troll seemed familiar somehow. Suki swung closer branch to branch with her hair to get a better look. And that's when Suki recognized who that troll was.

That evilish smirk.

Those dull yellow pants.

The way that his hair gathered into a single curl.

All those features belonged to one troll.

And that troll was Creek.
