Barb scrolled up the list that contained the music that Aggie tried as she and her fellow leaders felt sad and guilty, "I'm sorry, everyone. I really thought we could help Aggie."
"I thought we could help any troll," Poppy sighed.
"Maybe that's just it – maybe we can only help trolls within our tribes. Aggie is from a different tribe than ours," Trollzart said.
"Ah kay-yun't believe ya made a praahmise ta her like that!" Delta snapped at Trollex.
"I only did what a leader should do to a fellow troll," Trollex yelled back at the Mayor of Country.
"Is that thuh reason? Or because ya obviously 'ave a crush awn Aggie?"
"THAT'S NOT THE REASON!"
The meeting was interrupted when former King Thrash entered the room, looking confused.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" asked Barb, the Queen of Rock and her fellow leaders turned to the former king as he wheeled his wheelchair around the room, looking for something.
"Wh-what?!" asked former King Thrash, his hearing still impaired.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" asked Barb loudly, making sure to speak slowly.
"Oh, I'm looking for your little gray friend. That troll reminded me of you when you were just a little troll when you played your first guitar," said former King Thrash, making Barb blushed when her father told that story in front of her friends, "So, where's your little friend?"
"Uh, well... she... she kinda left. She wanted to be by herself," Barb replied sadly.
"Which wudn maah fuh-ault!" Delta defended herself.
"Mine, either!" Trollex added.
"Well, of course not. Why would you think that?" Thrash questioned.
The leaders just glanced at each other, exchanging guilty looks.
"Because it was our fault," they all responded in unison.
"All we had to do was help her choose which music that fits in her life so she can earn her True Colors," Trollzart explained
"And we let her down," Essence hung her head down, almost crying as Quincy comforted his wife.
"Whoever said that she had to choose?" Thrash inquired.
"Well, she did. It's part of the culture of her tribe, Dad," Barb answered
"Hmmm... Maybe that little troll's making it harder than it has to be," the former King of Rock said.
"Or maybe we just plain failed!" Barb threw the scrolled list on the floor in disappointment.
Just then, someone burst in from the door as everyone turned whoever just entered the Meeting Room.
"Failed? Then what do you call this?!" Aggie showed herself, no longer gray, but became pink with dark pink hair, and pink and blue dress (pink on half-top and blue on half-bottom).
"Your True Colors?!" The leaders exclaimed in surprise.
"What? Ya gawt yo-wr True Colors after all! Eve-yn though we couldn't help ya choohs yo-wr music in life?" Delta exclaimed in disbelief, "But– What? Huh?! How?!"
Poppy scanned her eyes all over Aggie's True Colors, "You're pink! That means your music in life is Pop?!"
"Uh... Maybe it means my music in life is definitely Pop. That was the first thing I tried. I guess it just took some time to appear. But here it is!" Aggie explained with a smile.
"This is amazing!" Trollex looped around in the air happily, "We're not failures! Whatever we did worked! I had a feeling we could help you, and we did!"
"Oh! We've gotta go see the other trolls right away! They'll wanna know about this!" Trollzart suggested excitingly.
"Correction – they need to know about this!" Quincy corrected.
The way the leaders thought of telling other trolls about this news made Aggie's face dropped, and sweated nervously.
"Oh, uh, yeah! Um, but, you know, it's almost time for Harmonious Land to open, so I have less than a week to go back home. Heh. Here's an idea. Uh, y-you head back to Pop Village so I can show to the other trolls my True Colors, and I'll meet you there, True Colors and all! Um... bye!" Aggie chuckled nervously before running away from the Meeting Room.
As the leaders watched Aggie ran off, they no longer felt so sad and guilty as they thought they failed to help Aggie get her Rrue Colors. They felt proud and happy.
"Wow! Can you believe it? We were able to help her get her True Colors after all!" Poppy giggled with pride.
"Though her music in life isn't Hard Rock," Barb crossed her arms disappointingly.
"Or Techno, but the more important thing is we help her get True Colors!" Trollex rather looked at the bright side.
"Come on, everyone, let's go to Pop Village!" Branch said as they all left the Meeting Room, and King Thrash behind.
"I'll see you later, Dad," Barb hugged her father before following her fellow leaders, "Guess we have to travel again."
Later, the leaders made it to Pop Village to meet up with Aggie. They encountered the Snack Pack when Cooper and Darnell hang out with them. The leaders told them if Aggie went here.
"Aggie? You just missed her. She was in such a hurry, she didn't even meet up with us. Just dropped this letter in Cooper's pod and ran away!" Darnell said as he gave the letter to his mother.
Essence handed the letter, and read it aloud.
Dear leaders,
I'll never forget you. You really are every bit as amazing as I'd heard. I'm heading home to tell all the Magic Musical Trolls how you did the impossible by getting me my True Colors without making me choose which music that fits me.
Your friend,
Aggie
"Wait a second. True Colors?!" Cooper repeated, "You actually helped Aggie get her True Colors?!"
"This makes no sense. Aggie didn't come in eend show ya her True Colors?" Delta asked.
"No. What music did she choose anyway? And what was her color?" Smidge inquired.
"We haven't seen her when she left," Legsly shrugged.
"Weird. Aggie didn't show anyone in the village her True Colors like she said she was gonna do? Something here smells kinda fishy," Trollex said suspiciously.
"We'd better find her and find out what's going on. Come on!" Darnell suggested as the rest of the leaders nodded in agreement, and ran off to find Aggie.
Not too far from Pop Village, the leaders, Branch, Beat and the Funk Twin Princes looked around to find the Magic Musical Trolls.
"Keep your eyes peeled, trolls. Aggie can't have gone far," Quincy said.
"She's not far. She's right there!" Beat pointed with his eyes as he saw Aggie helping a Country Troll get unstuck from a deep puddle.
"Aggie! Hold uhp, we're a-comin'!" Delta called.
Aggie gasped and widened her eyes as she saw her new friends approaching her, "Um... Hey, guys. Sorry, no time to chat. I-I just stopped to help this troll get out of the puddle, and then I really gotta go. Okay? Heave-ho!" She successfully got the wagon unstuck as she fell into the puddle.
"Aggie, are you okay?" Trollzart helped Aggie get up from the puddle.
"Aggie, we're your friends. Why are you running away from us?" Cooper wondered.
"Running away? Oh, I'm not running away. I'm just, uh, e-excited to show my lovely new True Colors to everyone in Harmonious Land!" Aggie beamed.
Delta then noticed the pink paint on Aggie's hair, face and arms were washed down, "Ya mean yer True Colors that there's running raheet off ov ya?"
"Yep... That's right," Aggie sighed in defeat as she can't come up with another lie. Her True Colors were fake as she wiped the pink pain off her face with her arm, "I guess the one thing I'm really not good at is faking things."
"Wow, Aggie. Painting on a fake True Colors to make yourself feel better? You must have been really upset," Barb said pitifully.
"Sure, I was disappointed. But I didn't do it to make myself feel better. I wanted to make you feel better," Aggie confessed as everyone gasped, "I couldn't bear you guys thinking you failed after you tried so hard to help me. That's why I had to leave before you or any troll in Pop Village found out the truth. I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you. I'll just go back to Harmonious Land. Thanks for trying." Aggie hung her head down sadly as she walked away from the trolls.
"You don't need to apologize for caring about how other trolls are feeling," Branch said.
Aggie stopped on her path to listen.
"I'm just sorry we couldn't come through for you," Poppy said.
"Hmmm..." Suddenly, Trollex thought of something as he has an idea, "Maybe we can. Aggie, clean up and meet us again at the Meeting Pod!"
"Or maybe in my bunker this time," Branch suggested, "My bunker has more space there… For just once."
The Magic Musical Troll nodded.
