Two weeks seemed to have just flown by, and without even noticing it, the first day of school was now almost here. One of the biggest days in a Troll's life, especially for a Troll who's attending college. The excitement is almost too much to bear, and it can make any troll practically too excited to sleep, but sleep was needed, for tomorrow would be a big day. Soon, the night sky started to fade over the kingdom as the sun began to rise on a brand new, exciting day, a day anticipated by every Troll around: the first day of school!
Volcano Rock City
Melody was asleep in her bed, all curled up and cozy, while having happy dreams in her head. She happily turned to adjust to a new sleeping position as she pulled her dark red bed covers over her head to block out any light that might try to disturb her sleep. She lightly snored as she breathed in and out while nuzzling into her fluffy pillow. On her nightstand were three things: a red lamp, which was currently off, her black shades, and a gray alarm clock that had red electronic numbers on it that told the time of day. At the moment, it said 6:29 am, but once the minute passed, it became 6:30 am as the alarm clock started to make a loud, repetitive, beeping noise, signifying it was time to wake up. Melody groaned and sleepily reached her arm out from under the covers and towards the clock to press a button on it. Fiddling for a while, she soon found the button she was looking for, the snooze button, and returned to her slumber, wanting to sleep for a little while longer. Triumphant, she dropped her arm and continued to sleep for another few seconds before suddenly, the realization hit her like a drum. She instantly woke up, sitting upright in her bed, showing that she was currently wearing a red long-sleeve nightgown with golden music notes on it, the covers still covering her lower body, and her hair frizzy from a night of tossing and turning. However, none of that seemed to mind Melody as she was now excited, exclaiming, "It's my first day of school"! She lept out of bed, quickly fixing it up before pulling out a stuffed Glitter Gator plush that was red and had a black bandanna tied on one of its back legs. Melody hugged the toy and said while walking over to a calendar that was hung up on the back of her bedroom door, "Grenda, today's the day! Today's the day I'm finally gonna get to be going to the college of my dreams! I've been waiting for this day since I first applied, and now, it's finally happening"! Melody pulled out a black marker and circled a box that was labeled "First Day of College" as she said, "I'm so excited, I can't wait! I'm gonna get to meet so many new friends, I'm gonna get to dorm, attend the school, see the fun activities and..and..and," before falling back on the floor, sighing in content while hugging Grenda, saying, "I'm sure gonna miss you, Grenda. Keep Evie company, okay"?
While the toy couldn't reply, not that it would because it wasn't alive, Melody didn't seem to mind as she placed the toy on the bed and went to grab her packed suitcases from the closet, saying as she put them by the door, "I'm gonna miss everyone once I leave. Dorming's gonna be fun, but it'll be hard waking up without hearing Val smash her guitar, or not getting to smell the scent of my dad's special pancake cakes. Or even hearing Evie mimic Demo's rock scream. But it'll be a lot of fun to make new memories at Trollstopia Tech"! After getting all of her suitcases out, she looked at the time and gasped, saying, "Uh oh! I better get to the bathroom before Val goes in and hogs it for an hour"! Melody rushed back into her closet to grab her clothes, ran out of her bedroom, and ran down the hall, hoping to get to the bathroom in time. She turned the corner and approached the door, reaching for its handle so she could open the bathroom door, but was greeted by a startling surprise. The bathroom door swung open, and Melody ended up crashing into the door as Val was seen walking out while the sound of toilet flushing was heard in the background. Val looked around, wondering if she had hit something, but didn't see anyone at first, making her shrug and walk away while whistling a tune. As the door closed, Melody groaned in pain and fell to the floor before she got up and went inside the bathroom, locking the door behind her. Melody placed her clothes on the closed toilet seat and pulled her nightgown off, hopping into the shower. She turned on the water as a white skull-shaped showerhead appeared and doused her with water. She spent a good ten minutes in the shower before she came out, wearing her red bathrobe, and walked over to the sink, using her arm to remove the fog that appeared on the mirror above the sink. Melody picked up her toothbrush and placed some toothpaste on it before she started to brush her teeth for about two minutes before spitting the toothpaste out and rinsing, shooting a bright and shiny smile at the mirror. Melody then quickly brushed her hair to no longer look frizzy before taking her bathrobe off and putting on her clothes. Five minutes later, after tying her shoelaces, Melody exited the bathroom and placed her nightgown under her pillow, and picked up her shades, placing them on the spot on her head where they always rest.
Melody took a minute to look in the side mirror by her closet, posing and tugging the edge of her jacket, saying, "Looking great, Mel, if I do say so myself, and I do," as her reflection replied, "You're ready for your first day of school, girl"! Melody then skipped out of her room again and headed into the living room, where a lively scene greeted her. Melody's mother, Mal Shredder, was trying to feed Evie in the dining area, who was resistant to the baby food the elder female Rock Troll was giving her. Her father, Ballad Bill, was in the kitchen making breakfast, currently making what looked like fluffy pancakes. Val was in the living room, watching T.V. and flipping through the T.V. channels. Melody smiled and said, "Morning fam," as everyone looked up and saw the mixed Troll wide awake. Evie babbled and reached for her older sister before Mal could successfully get Evie to eat a spoon of baby food, saying, "There you go," as Evie chewed and swallowed. Val got off from the couch and greeted Melody by hugging her with one arm, saying, "Hey, Melly! Today's the day! Excited"? Melody nodded, saying, "You bet! I'm all packed and ready for the trip to Trollstopia Tech"! Bill then came into the dining area, placing a large plate of what looked like thick buttermilk pancakes with colorful frosting on them, saying, "Well, what better way to start the day than with a big breakfast? I made your favorite." Melody licked her lips, saying, "Pancake cakes; my favorite," and rushed to the table, sitting next to Evie as she took a plate and served herself two pancake cakes. Val sat beside Melody on the other side and commented while helping herself, "Man, I can't believe it seemed like only yesterday that you just hatched, and now, my baby cousin's going to college! I mean, I can't help but feel...proud about this." Melody smirked and said, "You? Proud about something in relation to me? Who's this new Val? What happened to the other Val that tended to tousle with me"? Val chuckled and said, "Hey, you know I tend to express emotion to you, though I will deny it out in public. Besides, you're family, how can I not be proud," and stuffed a pancake cake into her mouth.
Mal then said, "We're all so proud of you, sweetheart; we know you're gonna do great things in Trollstopia Tech and become a successful student." Ballad Bill then said, "You know, when I attended college at your age, I had a lot of fun there and made a lot of heartfelt memories too. One of my favorite memories was when some college friends and I made our own shoe-garage band." Val and Melody ended up snickering as Val asked, "You had a shoe-garage band," as Bill commented, "Oh yes, in fact, we were so good, we particpated in my school's talent show, and we ended up winning it too. Many said that we had the talent to go all the way and make it to the big-times, but we never did." Melody, now curious, asked, "Really? How come? Did something happen"? Bill replied, "Well, none of us wanted to go for the popularity and we always felt like we just had the band for fun, and we loved to have fun. So, we basically kept our band low-key and just performed because we wanted to." Val then said, "It's awesome when you have a band in school. Some of the classmates in my school are part of my band, and Demo even acts as our manager." Melody ate her pancake cake before saying, "Wow, incredible! I wish I could start a band or a group like yours. Who would even want to join"? Evie banged her spoon to get her older sister's attention and squealed as if to say she wanted to join, which made Melody giggle and say, "I meant who at school Evie," which made the little rock baby do a cute pout. Mal then answered, "Well, I'm sure you'll meet a bunch of new friends who would love to take part in whatever you do, Melody. You just have to go out and meet them." Melody smiled from her mom's advice and said, "Yeah, you got a point, mom." She soon finished eating and pushed her plate aside, saying, "Done! I'm all ready to head out"! Melody leaped out of her seat and was ready to run out when her dad caught Melody in a warm hug while saying, "Hold on there, Melody. We still have some time before Barb comes by with the angler bus to take you. In the meantime, why don't we go make sure you have everything you need for when you move into your dorm room"? Melody nodded and said, "Okay, dad," as Val said, "Yah, and make sure you didn't forget anything "special," like the time you forgot to bring-," before Melody covered Val's mouth and said, "Okay, we don't need to relive that story! Let's just go check my suitcases."
Lonesome Flats
In Lonesome Flats, with the sun rising at the crack of dawn around the same time Melody got up, Holly was asleep peacefully in her purple hammock, snoring away. She was wearing long-sleeved pale yellow pajamas with white puffalo designs on them, and her large, long cyan blue hair was out of its ponytail and cascaded over her body like a blanket. Holly tossed and turned to the other side and continued to sleep when she heard the rooster crow loudly all over the town. That loud crow was enough for Holly to begin to wake up and sit upright carefully, stretching her arms up high before rubbing her eyes to rid the exhaustion that resided in her body. Holly reached over to look at the time on her alarm clock, which was an old-time fashioned alarm clock with bells on top, but Holly accidentally leaned too far and ended up falling out of her hammock and onto the floor chest-first. Holly groaned in pain as she struggled to get to her feet, muttering, "Nawht how ay thought ay'd get up," when she saw someone offer her a hand up. Holly looked up and saw that it was none other than Delta, who had a warm smile as she said, "Need ayy hand, sis"? Holly smiled and accepted the hand up, getting back onto her hooves while Delta commented, "Lil' tip: when it comes to hammocks, we try to slide off 'em, not lean off 'em." Holly chuckled and replied while dusting herself off, "Ay'll keep that in maand." Delta then placed a proud hand on Holly's shoulder while saying, "Ay ken't believe it; my lil' sistuurr's going off ta college today. Ay...," before she stopped and felt small tears forming around her eyes. Holly was a little bit confused by this because Delta wasn't one to simply just show off how she felt, often holding in sadness or other negative emotions she was prone to feeling, except anger. With that, Holly asked, "Delta, are y'all... okay"? Delta nodded, saying, "Ay'm okay, Holly, ay'm just...so proud ov ya, ya know? Y'all are gonna be the first in our family ta go ta college. If maw ayn' paw were here raheet now, they'd be so proud of ya too." Delta couldn't help but pull Holly into a hug as the younger female Country Troll smiled and hugged her back.
Delta then said, "Now, why don't we go eat some breakfast? I made spicy home fries, waffles, bacon, and a lil' extra treat just faw ya." Holly nodded, and with Delta, both sisters walked over to the kitchen, where breakfast was served at a small table set just for them. There were two plates that each had two waffles drizzled with syrup, bacon, home fries drizzled with spicy sauce, and then by Holly's plate, there was a small plate that had a strip of ice cream jerky waiting just for her. Holly's eyes widened in awe when she saw what Delta had laid out for her, saying, "Wow; ice cream jerky, my favorite"! Delta replied, "Normally, ice cream in the mornin' isn't really somethin' we do, but it's ayy special occashun, so, ay figured ya deserved ayy lil' something special." Holly and Delta both sat down and began to eat together, the two digging into the delicious breakfast that Delta cooked. While they ate, Delta asked, "So, how ya feelin'? Ya feel ready for this next big step"? Holly bit into her piece of bacon and chewed before answering, "Ay do; ay'll admit this is such ayy huge step but ay feel ready faw it. Ay got all my books, my supplies, ayn' ever'thing else ay'll need for school. Ay also got all my possesshuns packed up too faw once ay get ta my dorm room. Though ay wish y'all could come too, Delta. Ay'm gonna miss ya ayy lot." Delta offered a reassuring smile to Holly, saying, "Hey, it'll be okay, Holly. Even if we are separate, I'm still always gonna be there faw ya through ayn' through. Plus, we'll get ta see each othuurr during the holidays, so we won't be entirely separated from one anothuurr. Ayn' ay'm gonna be there today faw the openin' day ov the school, so we'll still get ta be togethuurr till ay leave latuurr on." Holly then added, "Ay'll also make sure ta write ta ya ever'day ta keep ya up-ta-date on what's going on at school." Delta smiled and said, "Glad ta hear, Holly. Now, why don't ya finish up so you'll have enough taame ta get dressed ayn' gather your things faw school"? Holly nodded and quickly finished eating before she got up and gave Delta another thank-you hug before she galloped back to her room to get dressed as the mayor happily chuckled, seeing her little sister excited.
When Holly got to her room, she opened her closet and was about to pull out her usual outfit when she saw something that made her gasp in surprise: on a hanger, with a note attached to it, was a uniform ensemble that consisted of a green-and-dark-green plaid shirt with dark green long sleeves and a white collar, a green skirt with silver horseshoe designs, and a pocket with a gold start on it. Holly picked up the note and read it, saying, "Figured y'all maheet want ta wear somethin' naace faw your first day, so, ay hand-sewn you this outfit. Hope y'all laake it; Buckaroo helped by a-lendin' some Puffalo wool, ayn' Gust suggested the horseshoe design. Love- Delta. P.S. Y'all got this." Holly felt completely in awe and said, "Aw, Delta, y'all shouldn't have," and took the hanger off the railing, laying her outfit on the hammock. Piece by piece, Holly took the clothes off the hanger and put them on, changing out of her pajamas first and then slipping on the skirt before placing on the shirt. Once she was dressed up nicely in her new clothes, Holly grabbed her purple hairbrush and began to brush out her lengthy hair, which was a tangled mess. After getting it under control, Holly grabbed her scrunchies, tied her hair up in its signature large ponytail, and looked in the mirror after getting it under control. Holly did a few poses to see the entire outfit, smiling with each pose, before she suddenly felt...nervous.
This was all still so new to her: she was going to college, something not even her older sister did. Was everyone going to welcome her? Would she be accepted into the school? Was anyone gonna like her? Would anyone want to be friends with her? Holly had about a million nerovus thoughts running through her mind as she breathed in and out in front of the mirror to try and stay calm. Holly kept breathing in and out as she soon started to pace back and forth, her thoughts soon interrupted when Delta came in to check on Holly, saying, "Holly? Y'all dressed"? She saw Holly pacing in her uniform as she smiled, saying, "Aw, y'all look as cute as ayy button"! Then, she saw the nervous look Holly had and placed her hand under Holly's chin, asking, "Hey, sugar, what's wrong"? Holly replied, Whel, ya see...ay'm ayy bit jittery if ay'm being honest. Ay mean, ay'm excited ta go ta college, but ay'm also feeling scared about it too. Ay just wanna make ayy good first impresshun on ever'one. Ay'm a lil' nervous about if ay'm gonna fit in." Delta kept her hand under her sister's chin as she offered a warm smile and said, "Aw, Holly, it's all gonna be mighty faane. Y'all don't gotta worry 'bout impressin' anyone. They're all gonna laake ya faw just a-bein' yourself, ayn' that's the best Troll y'all ken evuurr be." Hearing that piece of advice made Holly feel better before the mayor instructed, "Now, why don't we go get your luggage ayn' place it in the cart, so it's all ready for y'all when ya leave? We don't want ya ta forget an'thing, raheet"? Holly giggled and replied, "Raheet."
Techno Reef
Around the same time that the rooster crowed in Lonesome Flats, at the reef, by Pearl Avenue, Laguna was sound asleep in her bedroom, sleeping in her light green conch shell-shaped bed, covered by a soft purple blanket. By her nightstand, which was a sizeable cube-shaped piece of orange coral, was a yellow-and-blue glow fish, which was currently asleep, a purple clamshell alarm clock with a disco ball pearl inside that showed the time in green electronic numbers, her glasses resting right next to the clock, and a light purple seashell notepad and a matching pen to go with it. Suddenly, her alarm clock began to beep, which signified it was time for her to wake up. Laguna turned her body to face the alarm clock and gave it a gentle push to shut the alarm off before grabbing her glasses and putting them on as she sat up. She stretched her arms up, smiling brightly as she swam out of bed, stretching out her fins before she went to the nightstand and picked up her notepad and pen, and headed into the bedroom across from hers: her mother's bedroom. She swam inside and saw her mother asleep in her bed. Excited, Laguna placed her notepad and pen in her hair and swam up to her mother and shook her gently, saying, "Mom, wake up; today's the day"! Twilight, at first, remained asleep, muttering, "Hmmm...5 more minutes, kelpcake." Laguna seemed to pout cutely, wanting her mother awake now, but also didn't want to seem rude by bugging her. So, she started to swim away, only to feel something pull her back and pin her to the bed. Laguna looked up and barely had any time to react when she looked up and saw that her mom had started to playfully wrestle with Laguna, who smirked and attempted to wrestle her mother into a pin.
The two intermingled in a playful mother/daughter scuffle until Twilight pulled Laguna into a hug and tousled her daughter's hair while saying, "Gotcha, kelpcake"! Laguna giggled and tried to free herself from her mother's playful grip while saying, "Mom, stop, that tickles, haha"! Soon, Twilight loosened her grip so her daughter could swim out of her mother's hug and take a minute to fix her hair while Twilight commented, "Yep, you're definitely ready for college, kelpcake! You've got that tough Tidepool spirit that you wear proudly"! Laguna blushed as she hugged her mom while saying, "I'm really excited, mom. I can't wait to learn so many new things and gain so much knowledge and grow to become a great antrollpologist"! Laguna then suddenly found herself feeling a bit sad, which made Twilight concerned, as she asked, "Hey, what's wrong, kelpcake"? Laguna sighed and said, "This is such an exciting moment, and I'm so happy to have this happening but...I wish dad was here to celebrate with us." Twilight wrapped a gentle arm around Laguna and said, "I know, kelpcake, but you know how he tended to be when it came to "commitments." He never really was much of a "Family Troll." But no need to worry, you know I'm here, and so's your brother, and your friends, and we're all very proud of you, kelpcake. We know you're gonna have a great time learning at Trollstopia Tech." Laguna then asked, "Do you really think I'm "Antrollpologist" material"? Twilight nodded, saying, "Of course, kelpcake; you're so smart and talented, you've got our adventuring blood and spirit running through your veins. I know you'll be able to do it, kelpcake; you've been studying other Trolls' cultures ever since you learned how to read."
On cue, Finn soon entered the bedroom, saying, "Mum, sis, everything okay in here? I heard a ruckus going on from the living room." Twilight reassured her eldest son, saying, "Everything's okay, son, we're just excited about your sister's first day of college today." Finn then commented, "Well, I know one thing she also is: prepared. Crikey, there are dozens of suitcases by the front door"! Laguna blushed and said, "Well, I did want to make sure that I have everything I need for when I start forming there. I packed notepads, pens, glowsticks, extra scrunchies, books, and just about everything else I might need." Twilight chuckled and said, "Fair dinkum, always being prepared, that's my little whippersnapper. Now, why don't we go and get some kelp shakes for breakfast"? Laguna beamed at the idea of going out for breakfast while Finn didn't seem as interested but didn't want to stay home and be bored, so he shrugged and replied, "Eh, okay, mum." With that, the little Tidepool trio swam out of the house and headed into the heart of the reef, where every Techno Troll was out and about on their daily activities. A green female Techno Troll was busy serving two customers, who thanked her before they swam away after receiving their orders by a kelp shake booth. When they were gone, Twilight swam up to the booth, with her kids following her, as she said, "Morning, Kelpsy! Three of your finest kelp shakes, make mines with oyster sauce." Finn rolled his eyes and said, "Mum, why do you always have to order oyster sauce on your kelp shake? No Techno does that"! Twilight replied, "Because the saltiness of the oyster sauce helps add flavor to the kelp's tinginess. Plus, I like a little extra flavor." Kelpsy went to get their drinks and quickly made three kelp shakes, adding oyster sauce to Twilight's cup and marking it, so it was easier to determine, and then placed the three cups on the booth counter, saying, "There you go! Three kelp shakes, one with oyster sauce."
Twilight picked up her cup, the shake with oyster sauce, and sipped on it, saying, "Perfect, thanks, Kelpsy"! Laguna and Finn picked up their shakes and thanked Kelpsy before the tidepool clan swam away, exploring the reef while sipping on their shakes. They ended up running into Trollex, who was with Synth, as he said, "Morning, guys! What's happening"? Laguna replied, "Morning, King Trollex. Tody's the first day of school, and I'm really excited to attend"! Synth cheered and exclaimed, "Haha! You're going to Trollstopia Tech today? That is so *imitates airhorn noises*"! Trollex then said, "You know, I'm actually going to Trollstopia Tech today too; Poppy asked me to help her with something related to the school. Plus, it'll also give me the chance to see my beloved Aggie again," before blushing as everyone awed at how cute Trollex looked hen he blushed. Synth then said, "Yo, bro, when you see my future sis-in-law, let her know I say hi"! Trollex chuckled and said, "Okay, got it, Synth." Synth then approached Finn and said, "Hey, Finny boy, what's shaking"? Finn grumbled as a red vein appeared on his forehead, which made Synth chuckle and say, "Sorry, dude, I know you don't like the name, but it fits you to a T"! (if you can guess what I'm referencing to with what Synth said, you win a free Troll hug!) Finn facepalmed and said, "Call me Electro Ray, Synth, it's not that difficult"!
Synth hugged Finn uncomfortably with one arm, saying, "Got it, bro," while the Trap music Techno Troll awkwardly sweatdropped, unsure of what to say anymore. Meanwhile, Trollex continued with, "Anyways, since I'll be going there too today, why don't I help you with your luggage, Laguna? Help bring it to your dorm room"? Laguna smiled, saying, "I'd love the help, Trollex, thank you," as the Techno king replied, "Hey, you know me, always ready to help my people"! Synth then joked, "You sure it's not to try and look like a strong and handsome Troll in front of Aggie," as Trollex blushed and shouted, "Synth," which made Synth break into laughter and Laguna chuckle while Finn simply facepalmed from Synth's actions. Synth then continued to joke, saying, "Why not? Imagine Aggie blushing when she sees you lifting up one of Laguna's suitcases up high over your head, showing off your rainbow brawn, and your adorable abs, and-," before Trollex's blush got even deeper as he shouted, "Synth! I don't have brawn, and I don't have abs"! Synth then said, "True, but Aggie loves you either way, right"? Trollex knew that Synth was right, as he smiled sheepishly and nodded, blushing again as Twilight said, "Awww, Aggie must be really lucky to have you as a boyfriend, your highness." Trollex then said, "Thanks, Mrs. T. Now, come on, Laguna, I'll help you get your suitcases ready," as Synth added, "Me too"!
Vibe City
Up in the Vibe City spaceship, inside their spaceship home, Rhythm and Blues were both asleep in their rooms around the time that Laguna's alarm clock was ready to beep. Inside their bedroom, it looked very similar to the Vibe City science lab, as it was full of so many different gadgets, inventions, and pieces of science equipment all organized nicely. In fact, one of their homemade inventions was currently at work right now, currently located on a brown nightstand beside Rhythm's bed. Both twins' beds were right next to each other, as they slept peacefully. On Rhythm's nightstand was what looked like a purple lava lamp, and the dark purple lava inside actually molded into the specific numbers needed to tell the correct time. At the moment, the lava on the right side of the lava lamp started to change into 30, so the time said 6:30am. Then, the lava lamp started to glow and play funk music, which was their alarm. Rhythm tiredly raised her arm up and pressed the top of the lava lamp to turn the glow off and shut the music off too. Then, as her arm lowered back down so the twins could continue to sleep, the lava lamp then started to speak, saying, in Low-Note Jones's voice, "Hey there, babies, good morning. I hope you have a funkalicious day the moment you wake up." That was the perfect call for R and b to wake up as they both sat in their bed together and looked at one another, saying, "It's the first day of school, baby"!
Both funk trolls lept out of their beds, quickly making them before they started to get into their groove to get ready for the day. Their first stop was the bathroom, where both funk trolls took turns alternating the things they needed while doing everything in perfect unison. Rhythm said as they entered the bathroom, "Mind if I go in the shower first, B," as Blues said, "Not at all, go right ahead"! Rhythm smiled as she stepped into their electronic shower, which was orange and had an electronic door that opened and said, "Welcome," as Rhythm stepped inside while the door closed behind her. Rhythm then pressed a button that activated the showerhead, which doused her with warm water. While Rhythm was busy in the shower, Blues was by the sink, brushing her teeth for about two minutes before she spat out the toothpaste and rinsed. She then placed her toothbrush away before grabbing a black pick and then pulled the blue, glittered-star hair ties she wore off, which made her hair shoot up into frizzy curls. She then began to use the pick to detangle her hair while saying, "Today's the day, dear sister; our first day of college! How you feeling about it"? From inside the shower, Rhythm replied, "I feel amaza-bo-bonkers about it, and so excited too! I mean, we'll get to be going to the same school together again, and it's not just any school, but one of the best schools around! How much better can it get"? Blues started to retie her hair back into its pom-pom-like pigtails as she added, "Well, it does get better because we will be dorming together, and the school allows 24/7 ship parking, so we can park our ship by the dorm building"! Inside the shower, some blow-dryers were busy drying Rhythm off as she said, "Ooh, baby, It does get better! But you know which part of the school I'm looking forward to the most"? Blues checked her reflection in the mirror one last time before turning around, saying, "Oh, I know exactly what you mean."
The door soon opened as Rhythm stepped out, with both twins saying in unison, "The science lab"! They both then high five and switched places, with Blues entering the shower and Rhythm heading to the sink, while Blues said as the door closed once she was inside, "They have an outstanding science lab where we can perform all kinds of experiments"! Rhythm was applying toothpaste onto her toothbrush while replying to Blues, saying, "Yeah, and thanks to that scholarship we won from Vibe City's annual young inventor's meet, we secured VIP access to the lab at anytime we want! Within school hours of course," before starting to brush her teeth. After about two minutes, she spat out the toothpaste and rinsed before flashing a bright smile in the mirror. Rhythm then took off her headband, which allowed her purple hair to be free and loose, before she grabbed her orange hairbrush and began to brush her hair, saying while she did so, "Hey, B, mind if I ask you something"? Blues, still in the shower, answered, "Sure, fire away." Rhythm then said, "You think that we might meet anyone...you know...not too friendly at school"? The shower door soon opened as Blues came out of it, saying as she approached Rhythm, "What do you mean by that"? Rhythm answered while placing her headband back on, "I mean, we know Trollstopia is a very friendly place, and everyone there would welcome us with open arms for hugs. But, what if there are Trolls there who aren't as friendly? Who might be mean and you know...not be friendly"? Blues wrapped her arm around her younger twin sister while saying, "Hey, if they try to mess with us, they'll have to handle the funk electric power of our sisterly bond," as they both started to do a handshake together, fist-bumping each other before stomping their feet in unison, and doing a fun pose together.
Soon, they both walked out of the bathroom and then pulled out two remotes, which they pressed as out of the blue, rollerskates formed on their feet. R&B then high-fived each other and said, "Let's do it to it," and started to skate around their room, gathering things. Rhythm picked up Blues's bracelet, round anklet, and round choker, shouting, "Heads up," and tossed them at her, which she caught and said, "Thanks, R! Heads up," and tossed up Rhythm's earring, choker, bracelet, and bangle. Rhythm caught the tossed jewelry as they both placed on their signature bling and skated past each other to grab their backpacks, which were across from one another. Rhythm's backpack was dark purple while blues was dark orange, ad together, they tossed their bags onto the beds. Rhythm then skated to the table and picked up a pile of books, tossing some into the air as Blues caught them and threw the books into each backpack. Blues then tossed Rhythm two purple pencil cases, saying, "Coming at'cha, sis," which Rhythm caught and threw both pencil cases into each backpack. Rhythm then skated to the closet and pulled out their science goggles and coats, folding them and stuffing each pair of science clothing into their backpacks before blues came and placed in their remotes controls. Finally, in unison, they zipped their bags up in sync and placed them on their backs, saying together, "We're ready for school." They headed out of their room and skated to the front of their house, grabbing two granola bars from the kitchen before they headed outside and saw Low-Note and a few other FUnk Trolls packing up a golden spaceship.
Low-Note was placing one last suitcase into the trunk of the ship before he saw R&B skate towards them, making him smile and say, "Hey there, ladies! The ship should be all packed with your boxes and suitcases soon so you'll be all prepped and ready to go for your trip to Trollstopia Tech"! R&B shook hands with Low-Note as Rhythm said, "Thank you very much for letting us use this ship, Low-Note," as the funk ambassador chuckled and said, "No problem, babies. Just helping out however I can." Suddenly, Blues heard what sounded like grunting and saw McJagger pushing a huge cart of luggage, where half of the cart was full of so many books, making her laugh and say, "Dang, McJ, you bringing your whole bookshelf to college? They have a library there, you know." The red Funk Troll chuckled and said, "Well, I figured it'll be a long trip to the school, and I want to be able to stay on top of my readings while in my dorm room. Plus, some of these books are my favorite and well...I might meet someone who shares my love of reading there so, it'll be cool to have them with me. You girls mind if I hitch a ride on the ship ith you"? Rhythm and Blues nodded, saying, "sure thing, McJ! Hop on in"!
Trollstopia
Aggie was asleep in her bed as the sun was starting to rise in her room. The sun's shiny glare was beginning to peak through her window, shining on Aggie's face, which made the MMT groan and turn away from the light, nestling back into the comfortable darkness she was used to. Suddenly, a red alarm clock began to go off with a loud BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG as the clock's metal rod quickly banged on both of the clock's alarm bells very fast. Aggie groaned and raised her rock arm to try and shut it off, fumbling a bit before she suddenly felt the clock within her grip and tapped it to turn it off. Aggie then sat up in her bed, letting out a loud yawn, and rubbed her eyes before she saw the time, which was 6:30 am, as she gasped happily, saying, "It's here; it's finally here"! She flew over to her calendar, which she hung on the wall, and saw that on the box for today, there was a backpack sticker and a bus sticker on it. Aggie happily circled it while saying, "It's the first day of school! At last, I'm finally going to Trollstopia Tech! I better get myself ready"! She quickly flew to her closet and picked up her rainbow dress before flying into her bathroom, quickly turning on the shower, getting undressed, and hopping right inside. Aggie turned on the water and the shower head sprayed water on her, allowing Aggie to be showered with a gentle splash. After a few minutes of lathering herself up and rinsing off the suds, she turned the shower off and used a towel to dry herself off before slipping on her colorful, rainbow dress. Adjusting it to make sure that it looked neat, she smiled as she saw her heart shining through it, beating with excitement to represent how excited Aggie was about attending her first day at Trollstopia Tech. Aggie then looked in the mirror and saw that her rainbow-colored hair was a little frizzy from a long night of tossing and turning in her bed. So, she quickly picked up her comb and began to run it through her hair, detangling it with each careful stroke, until it was smooth as silk and had absolutely no knots. Once she was finished, she placed the comb down and looked in the mirror once more, smiling proudly before she playfully flicked her hair as she grabbed her toothbrush, put some toothpaste on it, and began to brush her teeth.
As she did this, Aggie couldn't help but look up at the top left corner of her mirror, where there was a photo on it, and that photo was a picture of her and Trollex hugging each other, with Trollex kissing her left cheek. Seeing that photo made Aggie smile, thinking about her boyfriend and how adorable he was, from his dark blue skin to his glowing green neon hair, his cute light blue freckles, and his signature adorable smile; the smile that always made Aggie smile when she was sad, scared, or just so happy to be right beside him. It made Aggie's cheeks flush red and her heart start to beat rapidly in excitement as she continued to look at the picture in awe. Aggie would've stared at it all day if she could, but soon, the toothpaste foaming around her mouth made Aggie snap out of it as she spat out the toothpaste and rinsed before putting her toothbrush back. Aggie flashed a bright and adorable smile before she flew up to the picture and gave the Trollex in the photo a quick kiss before she flew into the kitchen to make herself breakfast when suddenly, a visitor came knocking at her door. The visitor was a pink Pop Troll with bright magenta hair that was in a high ponytail that stuck up with bangs that went down the sides of her face, dark pink eyes, and nose. She wore a simple green flower-patterned dress, and a leafy, flowery, green crown on her head. She greeted Aggie with a smile, saying, "Hey, Aggie! How's it hanging"? Aggie turned around and smiled, saying, "Hi, Poppy," and greeted her with a hug before the two shared a fistbump as Aggie replied, "Feeling great, Poppy! I'm just about to make myself breakfast. you want me to make you anything"? Poppy smiled and said, "Thank you, but it's ok; I already ate. I just came by to see how my best friends have been doing before I head down to finish checking on the preparations for the official first day of school opening of Trollstopia Tech."
Aggie then proceeded to grab a bowl before she poured some oats into it and flavor berries, before going to the fridge and grabbing milk to pour inside the bowl as she said, "I still can't believe you were able to open a college for all of Trollstopia! It's going to really help add the influence of all different cultures uniting in harmony, especially with a lot of trolls going into the same school"! Poppy smiled and said, "Thanks, Aggie. I can really sense that Trollstopia Tech is going to really make a name for itself throughout the kingdom! Of course, we still have our kingdom-wide music-based schools, but Trollstopia Tech is going to be the ultimate school for harmony and diversity uniting together and producing a fun, friendly, and happy place for trolls to come learn about all kinds of music, even the sub-genres"! Aggie then asked as she took a bite from her cereal, "So, Poppy, how are you going to handle running both Pop Village Community College and Trollstopia Tech? Won't the task of running both schools be tiring"? Poppy answered, "Well, actually, I got my husband Branch to help run Trollstopia Tech as the official principal, so, while he handles that school, I'll still get to help out at our community college, so we can get twice as much done with only half the stress. Oh, I almost forgot! I invited all of the leaders to come join us for the opening, including Trollex." The minute Aggie placed another spoon of oats and berries in her mouth, her face flushed pink and she looked almost ready to choke, but luckily pulled her spoon out quickly with enough momentum to swallow before saying excitedly, "Really?! He's coming today"? Poppy nodded, saying, "For an event as big as the first day of an all-cultures included, diversity-based school, it would be an honor for all of the leaders to come and witness the school opening too, especially getting to walk around the school and see all the wonderful classrooms, our dorm buildings, and everything else the school will have to offer."
Aggie was immediately squealing inside in excitement about the chance to see Trollex again and was hoping she'd get the chance to have some time to spend with him throughout the day before he heads back to the reef later. Aggie was so excited, she didn't see what she was doing as to Poppy, she saw Aggie scooping air with her poon and eating it, which prompted the Pop Queen to giggle, knowing exactly what Aggie was thinking, before she decided to snap her out of it by shouting, "Aggie"! Aggie suddenly snapped back into it but didn't see where she was placing her rock hand as she did so because all of a sudden, her bowl of oats and berries was sent flying as it spilled on the counter while the bowl landed on the floor. Aggie gasped a bit in shock before saying, "Oops, guess I wasn't paying attention. Oh well, I'll just clean this up and grab a muffin before I go pack up my bag." Aggie quickly picked up the bowl from the floor and placed it in the sink before she got a few pieces of paper towels to clean up the mess on the counter and floor. As Aggie did that, Poppy smirked and questioned, "So, what ere you thinking about? Or maybe I should rephrase: WHO were you thinking about"? Aggie blushed and replied while throwing out the paper towels, "N-no one, no one in particular." Seeing the confident smile Poppy had, Aggie couldn't help but chuckle and facepalm, saying, "Seriously, Poppy? am I really that readable"? Poppy shrugged and said, "Well, every time you think about Trollex, you always seem to be extra happier, so, I've learned to pick up on the signs. Besides it's so adorable to see you thinking about him; it shows just how much you love him! you both are just so cute together"! Aggie's blush got deeper as she tried to hide it with her hair while stating, "Thanks, Poppy. I can't wait to see him again; I know it was only a few days since we've last seen each other, but it feels like forever since we both got to share a hug and kiss and go on a date together and well..you know, just be together in general."
Poppy chuckled while she stated, "Well, you'll have all the time to see him at the school later. Speaking of school, I better go, but I'll see you later Aggie," and soon exited the MMT's rainbow-colored pod. Meanwhile, Aggie's blush still remained as she said while grabbing a muffin, "I better go pack my backpack," and placed the muffin in hr while flying to her bedroom to go pack up her backpack so she was ready to walk to school soon.
