The Ol' Potion Switcharoo
It was a brand new day in Harmonious Land, and Aggie and Trollex were currently both asleep together in the bedroom in their condo room.
Trollex sat up, yawning a bit before he looked over and saw how beautiful Aggie looked while she was sleeping. To him, she looked like an angel nestled adorably under a soft blanket, sleeping soundly and having many pleasant dreams in her head.
Trollex grinned and moved over from the water side of the bedroom towards her, shaking her gently while saying, "Morning there, sunshine. Time to wake up."
Aggie turned over but smiled while she slept, muttering, "5 more minutes."
Trollex giggled, saying, "Very well then. I'm gonna have to wake you up another way," before starting to tickle her stomach.
Aggie ended up waking up in a fistful of giggles, saying, "Trollex, that tickles! Haha, stop"!
"Never," Trollex declared, adding, "You're just too loveable and soft and cute! I can't resist"!
The fun little tickle fest continued for a while until Aggie accidentally leaned too far on her side of the bed and fell over, dragging Trollex with her. When they both fell, Trollex and Aggie ended up lying side by side one on the floor, and together, they both broke into laughter.
"Talk about a fun way to wake up," Aggie commented, saying, "And here's something to make it much more fun," before kissing Trollex on the nose, making the Techno king blush.
Then, Beat was seen hovering above them, saying, "Morning, you two. Slept well"?
"Oh, you bet, Beat. Especially after everything that happened last night regarding what went down at Manny's, I figured some time together with Trollex would help us both feel better," Aggie commented, adding, "Although it does still leave me with the worries about us ever telling the MMTs about us dating."
"Hey, it's gonna be ok, Aggie," Trollex reassured Aggie, stroking her hair while saying, "When the time is right, we'll them. If you feel ready to when it's time, I'll be right there alongside you, and we'll face whatever happens together."
Aggie smiled as she and Trollex shared a romantic kiss, both Trolls blushing simultaneously.
"Awwwwwwwwww," Beat said in awe, adding, "You both are gonna be so cute on the day you get married."
"BEAT," Aggie and Trollex shouted in unison, both Trolls blushing in embarrassment while the little beat drop button laughed.
A little while later, Trollex and Aggie decided to go for a walk together to get some fresh air. They traveled by bus to get to Smile-o Smile-o City and walked down the sidewalk, passing by the little buildings and shops together. It was luckily quiet, since it was early in the morning, and no MMTs were around or out and about, except for the ones working in the stores, which gave Aggie and Trollex the perfect opportunity to walk hand-in-hand together.
While they strolled the street, Trollex saw a nearby store that seemed interesting, as he asked, "Hey, what's that shop"?
Aggie turned her head to see what store he was looking at.
The shop was a red store that had a big sign labeled "Potion" with the o in the word replaced by a circular bottle filled with red liquid.
"Oh, that's the potion store," Aggie replied.
"Potions? Are they like some sort of energy drink," Trollex asked curiously.
"Well, no, although there are some you can drink that can provide you energy. But potions are like magical liquids that can change, affect, or provide a Troll with a supernatural boost or ability. Magic Musical Trolls are able to make potions since well, it is a type of magic," Aggie replied with a chuckle.
Trollex chuckled as well, saying, "Wow, now that certainly does sound magical. Let's take a look inside; I'm curious to see what kind of potions there are."
"Sure thing. Follow me," Aggie replied as she led Trollex to the potion store.
Trollex held the door open so Aggie could walk in first as he followed her inside.
Inside the store, there were a lot of shelves stocked with so many different kinds of potions, all in different colors. Under each bottle was a name and picture label that helped to identify which potion was what and the ability of that potion in particular.
"Wow! These look so cool," Trollex commented in awe while gently tapping one of the bottles.
"Careful, Trollex," Aggie warned her boyfriend, saying, "These bottles are very fragile; if they break and a potion splashes you, who knows what might happen"?
Trollex stepped back a bit in caution, saying, "Understood, but they look really cool."
Suddenly, Aggie and Trollex heard laughter and walked over to one of the shelves, where they saw Melody and Stereo looking at some of the potions, laughing. Curiously, Aggie approached the girls, saying, "Melody? Stereo? what are you both doing here"?
"Hey, Aggs," Melody greeted her, saying, "Stereo and I are looking at these really cool potions and they're awesome"!
"Yeah, yo! They look so *imitates airhorn noises*," Stereo commented while mimicking airhorn noises.
"There's a potion that can make you sing opera," Melody commented, pointing to a yellow potion with an opera singer label, saying, "Isn't that awesome"?!
"And check it out! One potion over there can make you glow every time you say your name! That's super dope," Stereo commented.
"That's the beauty of magic potions; they always have surprising results, depending on how they're made," Aggie replied.
"What do the MMTs use to make these potions anyway," Trollex asked curiously
Aggie thought about it before answering, "I don't know. I remember that they're very complex to make and take a lot of ingredients, depending on what kind of potion you're trying to make. Not to mention those who make these potions and send them out to sell takes usually about a week or two to arrive in stores, so it's not an easy process."
"Wow, all that time, energy, and effort going into making these potions? That's some dedication; deep respect to those talented potion makers," Melody mentioned while Stereo did a salute, saying, "Hail them, here here, yo"!
By the counter, a female Magic Pop Troll was trying to fix the store's speaker so it could play music. She was screwing it into place, saying, "That should do it. Let me see if it works now; I hope rewiring the sound production system was the answer."
When she turned the speaker on, it did play music, but she didn't call for the speaker to suddenly blare the music so loud the sound waves blasted towards Aggie and her friends, throwing them back onto the floor, as the Magic Pop Troll quickly turned the speaker off after seeing what happened.
Aggie hit her head on the side of a nearby shelf, making the shelf shake, and while it shook, it tossed three potions up into the air, which flew and fell toward her friends.
A red potion splashed over Melody, a light blue potion splashed over Stereo, and a green potion splashed over Trollex as the three Normal Trolls lay on the floor and felt the potions seemingly take their effect on them.
The female Magic Pop Troll gasped in fear, saying, "Uh oh"!
About a minute later, Aggie was the first to recover from the little mishap, asking while holding her head in pain, "Is everyone ok"?
Suddenly, she heard a chirp and looked up, where she saw a little bird flying right above her, but there was something odd about this bird (Think of the bird designed like Flapjack from Owl House, in honor of the fallen adorable bird! This is for you, Flapjack!). It looked like a small cardinal, but it was hot pink, with the top spiky feathers having pink highlighted tips, the tips of its wings were also pink, and the tip of its tail feathers had pink highlights too. Its right leg was purple and looked like a mechanical bird leg, and its left leg was red, it had a lavender marking on its face that was in the shape of a spiky heart, a dark purple beak, and matching dark purple eyes. and over its left eye was a red music note-shaped birthmark. Around its neck was a small gold necklace with the name Melody embroidered on it, and it was wearing a small black leather vest (designed for birds) and even had a tiny pair of sunglasses on top of its head, though the lens of the sunglasses covered the leg portion of the music note birthmark.
At first, Aggie didn't seem to recognize the bird as she smiled and offered her Classical finger for it to land on, saying, "Hi there, little bird."
The bird landed on her finger and started to chirp at Aggie, trying to tell the MMT something.
Aggie, however, didn't seem to understand what the bird was saying, commenting, "Wow, you're quite the chatterbox! How did you get in-," before she saw the necklace it was wearing and gasped while her eyes widened in shock, recognizing it was Melody's necklace! Which meant...the little bird on her finger was Melody!
"Oh my Troll! Mel! Is that you," Aggie asked in shock.
Melody nodded and chirped frantically, confused/startled by how she had suddenly transformed, but because she was a bird, she could only talk in chirps, and no one knew how to speak chirp.
"I'm sorry, Mel; I don't speak chirp," Aggie told her worryingly.
Before Aggie could ask her what had happened, she heard what sounded like a tired groan.
That made them both turn their heads and see Stereo still lying on the floor.
Aggie flew over and tried to shake her awake, saying, "Stereo, wake up! Are you ok"?!
Aggie got a most unexpected answer: the sound of Stereo...snoring. She wasn't awake; she was asleep!
Aggie gasped, realizing, "Oh no! She must've gotten splashed by a sleeping potion"!
Then, Aggie looked around, wondering where Trollex was, worried a potion might've affected him too, saying, "Trollex, where'd you go"?!
"I'm over here, Aggie," Trollex's voice called out, making Aggie walk over to where she heard it...but there was no sign of Trollex anywhere.
"Trollex," Aggie called out in the spot she thought she heard Trollex in, adding, "Are you here"?
"Yeah, I'm right here. Can't you see me," Trollex's voice replied in the same spot, but she couldn't see him?
"No, I don't see you- oh golly, Trollex! I think you might be...invisible," Aggie cried out in shock.
Trollex, while invisible, looked down at his hands and saw that he couldn't see them, making him scream in shock, shouting, "I'm invisible"!
Aggie tried to calm him down by sayin, "Don't worry, I'm sure we can figure something out. Let's get you guys back to the condo, and hopefully, our friends can help us find a solution to this."
Aggie used her telekinesis to help pick up the sleeping Stereo, and Melody was sitting on top of Aggie's head before she offered her Rock hand to Trollex, saying, "For now, hold my hand, Trollex. That way, it'll make it easier for me to know that you're right next to us while we try to get you guys back to normal."
"Got it, Aggie," Trollex answered while holding Aggie's hand (despite his hand being invisible) as they walked out of the store.
The female Magic Pop Troll watched in concern when she saw the Trolls who had gotten affected by the potion leave the store, and out of concern, she picked up the phone and dialed a number, saying to it, "Uh, hi! Listen, we have a bit of a problem here, and I can really use your help"!
Outside the store, Trollex commented, "You know, even though I'm invisible, there is one good thing out of it: now, you and I can keep holding hands like a couple without anyone seeing us together."
Aggie blushed a bit while saying, "That is true, but they might think I'm being crazy talking to someone who isn't there beside me."
"That might be an arguable point, but if other MMTs can't see me, you and I can go on romantic outings together without anyone seeing us. Plus, I can do this out in public with you," before giving Aggie a kiss on the cheek, making the colorful MMT smile and blush.
She knew Trollex had one good point there: him being invisible for the time being did leave her and Trollex an opening to be publically romantic, in small ways, without any other MMTs seeing them together. On the other hand, she did miss seeing Trollex's cute face, adorable smile, handsome charm, colorful arms, sweet beating heart, and fun pixilated fins. One way or another, she knew that with the good and bad, she still had a find a way to help her friends get back to normal.
Later on, when Aggie and her friends arrived back at the condo, they walked inside and were greeted by Delta, who asked, "Hey, Aggie! Stereo! where di y'all two go"?
"I'm here too, Delta," Trollex clarified, his moment of speaking up startling Delta, who stepped back a bit while looking around, saying, "Trollex? Y'all are here too"?
"Yes, but why you can't see me is a long story," Trollex answered, wishing that he was visible for them to see his sheepish smile.
Poppy and the other leaders soon came over, overhearing the conversation, with the female Pop leader asking, "Is everything alright"?
"What going's on," Quincy asked.
"And where is King Trollex," Trollzart inquired.
Aggie tried to explain to the leaders, "Look, let me explain-,"
"Uh, Aggie, why is Stereo asleep in mid-air," She asked as she and the Snack Pack, Prince D, Clampers, Tiny Diamond, the Trollstopia delegates, McJagger, Sid, and Buckaroo came over.
"And also, why is she asleep? It's already 11 in the morning," Demo commented.
"Note: Not to mention that Stereo is usually up early in the morning, and her being tired enough to be sleeping in this long is highly unlikely," Laguna pointed out.
Aggie tried to answer while using her telekinesis to place the sleeping Techno Troll on the floor, "Well, see, Stereo kind of-,"
Suddenly, Melody began to chirp something, her chirps being heard by Holly and the other ambassadors, who came over to see what was making the sound, while Low-Note jones commented, "Sounds like an animal got into the condo."
Val noticed the little cardinal on Aggie's head and chuckled, saying, "Hey, check out the bird! It looks like my cousin Melly"!
Aggie nervously smiled, saying, "Uh, funny thing, Val..."
Melody saw her cousin and flew up to her, chirping frantically.
Val let the little bird land in her hands, saying, "Hey there, little one," before she suddenly recognized that it was Melody, and became so shocked, she started to scream, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-,"
Melody, startled by her cousin's scream, started to scream, in bird, "CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-,"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-,"
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-,"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-,"
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-,"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH"!
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRP"!
Val and Melody then looked at one another again before screaming in unison, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH/CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPP"!
"What the heck happened to my little cousin?! Why is she a tiny bird," Val exclaimed in shock/surprise/disbelief.
Synth noticed Stereo asleep on the floor and walked up to her, saying while chuckling, "Stereo, hon, wake up. You can't be tired after a bus ride. But if you are, I can lay you out on the couch so you can nap there."
However, when he saw Stereo not waking up, he knelt down and shook her a bit, saying, "Stereo? My sweet, sensational Stereo? Wake up."
All he got in response was her snoring while remaining fast asleep, making Synth worried, as he asked, "Why isn't she waking up, yo"?!
"She's under a deep sleep potion," Trollex's voice explained, making Synth gasp in surprise and look around, saying, "Bro! Trollex, yo, are you here? Where are you"?
"I'm next to Aggie, but I'm invisible," Trollex explained.
"Meh," Synth commented in confusion.
"Meaning that I'm here with Aggie, but no one can see me, but I can still see you guys. Look, come over and you'll see, erm-sorry, wrong word choice. Uh, try to feel what I mean," Trollex added.
Synth walked over to Aggie and curiously waved his arm back and forth next to Aggie's left side, trying to find Trollex, but didn't seem to get anything at first, as Trollex replied, "On her other side, Synth."
Synth jogged over to Aggie's right side and waved his arm back and forth, getting nothing but air at first, until he felt his hand slap against something that was there, but he couldn't see, and then heard Trollex's voice shout, "Ow"! As it turned out, Synth had accidentally, but also unexpectedly, slapped Trollex gently upside the head.
"Found you, bro," Synth said happily before he felt Trollex gently slap him back upside the head, making Synth hold the back of his neck while saying, "Ow, yo! What was that for"?
"You slapped me, Synth," Trollex replied.
"Well, how else was I supposed to find you? I can't even see you, bro," Synth retorted, holding his head while saying, "This whole thing is so mind-boggling, yo! My head hurts from all this confusion"!
"How is Trollex here, but not seen," Beat asked in concern while hovering around Synth so he could be close to, or as close as he could be at the moment since he didn't know where Trollex was standing exactly, to his buddy.
"Can someone please explain to us what in the name of Troll happened" Branch asked while the rest of the Normal Trolls gathered around to hear about what happened?
Aggie answered Branch, explaining, "Well, Trollex and I were at the potion shop, where we ran into Melody and Stereo, and we were looking at the potions, and then the store's speaker blared and blew us back. I hit my head on one of the shelves, but Trollex, Melody, and Stereo got splashed with different potions, and then, this all happened! My best friend became a bird, my future sister-in-law fell into a deep sleep, and craziest part of all, my boyfriend's invisible"!
"Well, maybe if we can find a cure for their predicaments," Rhythm started to say.
"We can be able to help get them all back to normal," Blues added.
"Perfect plan, R&B," Aggie replied, "And we better act quick before things get any worse."
"How can things possibly get any worse," Sid asked.
Suddenly, Essence felt her phone ring and picked it up, answering, "Hello"?
Essence listened to whoever it was on the other side, and whoever it was made Essence become very tense, something all the Trolls noticed as they heard Essence answer with, "Oh, yes, of course. We most certainly didn't forget about our meeting today. You wish to have it here? Oh, sure, it's no problem at all. How wonderful," saying the last part through a nervous smile and gritted teeth.
After saying goodbye and hanging up, Quincy asked his wife, "What happened, hon"?
Essence answered, "That was President Trollazon. She asked if we remembered that we were having the meeting with the leaders today at 1pm to discuss how our stay in Harmonious Land has been so far."
Aggie gasped in shock and facepalmed, saying, "Oh, golly! I forgot that was today"!
"And it's worse: she said that the MagicaƱang Palace was getting its carpets cleaned today and asked if we could hold the meeting...here in the condo," Essence added, her answer making everyone's eyes widen in shock.
"And...I immediately regret opening my mouth," Sid said while looking down in guilt.
"Oh my guh! What are we gonna do? If the leaders see Trollex, Stereo, and Melody stuck under the spell of these potions, who knows what might happen," Smidge commented worryingly.
"They maheet think we're bein' troublesome," Holly exclaimed worryingly.
"Look, everyone, let's all relax. Panicking is not gonna make anything better," Guy Diamond stated calmly before he started to freak out, saying, "Oh, who am I kidding?! I'm too worried to be calm"!
"Me too, daddy," Tiny Diamond said while hopping into his father's hair, saying as he peeked his head out, "Better pull out the emergency panicking airhorns," and started to blast a big air horn, its sound making most of the Trolls in the condo worried.
"Guys," Barb shouted at the top of her lungs to get everyone to stop panicking and look at her, the Rock queen saying, "Look if we all stay here worrying our pants off, we're not gonna accomplish anything. What we actually need to do is come up with a plan."
"Barb's right. Perhaps it might be best for the time being if we divide and conquer each situation we have in teams," Dante suggested.
"Great plan, Dante," Branch commented before instructing, "Synth, Cooper, Smidge, Prince D, Guy Diamond, Tiny, and Legsley, you guys will head up to Trollex and Aggie's room with Aggie and figure out how to help Trollex with his invisibility. Make sure he doesn't leave the room, and if he needs to, find a way to make him stand out so we know he's around."
"Holly, Gust, Demo, Riff, Biggie, Buckaroo, Dante, Minuet, Sid you guys will go up to Val and Melody's room with Val to help take care of Melody while she's a bird and help her feel comfortable. Make sure she is able to find some way to manage her bird state and keep her from escaping the room or the condo; birds often love to fly outside and stretch their wings," Quincy stated.
"DJ Suki, Satin, Chenille, Laguna, McJagger, R&B, Low-Note Jones, Clampers, take Stereo up ta huurr ayn Synth's room, and y'all are gonna try ta help faand ayy way ta wake Stereo up. Don't make it too noisy aw too extreme, in case the leaduurrs arrive ayn' she ain't up by then," Delta commented.
"Be careful with my sweet Stereo, yo," Synth added to the group, saying, "I don't want her getting hurt when she awakes."
"She'll be in safe hands, Synth, we promise," McJagger told the Techno ambassador.
Synth smiled and approached his sleeping lover, saying to her, "I hope you wake up from this sleeping potion soon, yo. I want to hear your sweet voice again," and kissing her on the cheek before joining back with Aggie's group.
"And also, as you guys are helping our afflicted friends, see if you can find any clues in books, the Internet, anything that might lead us to finding a clue to helping to get them all back to normal again," Barb commented.
"While you guys all do, the rest of the leaders and I will be here distracting the Harmonious Land leaders long enough so hopefully, everything's fixed by the time it's time for our meeting," Poppy added.
Satin and Chenille worked together to pick up Stereo, who was snoring while she slept, before Stereo's group brought her up the first elevator, and Aggie's group went up the other elevator. Melody's group waited a bit for one of the elevators to come back down before they took it up next.
In Synth and Stereo's room, Stereo was laid out on the couch, sleeping soundly.
Everyone looked through some of the books Laguna and McJagger had brought to see if it would help.
"I can't find anything about how to reverse the effects of potions," Rhythm commented, looking up from her book.
"Any luck with you guys," Blues commented to the others.
Everyone else shook their heads no and murmured in disagreement because they couldn't find anything either.
"What are we gonna do now," Clampers commented while tossing the book she had aside behind her, the sound of something glass breaking in the background following afterward.
"Ok, so we may not be able to find a solution via book, but maybe if we try to wake Stereo up ourselves, perhaps that could give us the solution we need to break the potion's spell on her," McJagger suggested.
"Ok, all we have to do is try to wake her up. That doesn't sound too hard," DJ Suki commented while everyone was circled around the bed, looking at the sleeping Troll.
"Remember: Stereo is under the effects of a potion," Rhythm pointed out.
"And trying to snap someone out of the effects of a potion isn't as easy as it looks, especially because we wouldn't even know what works," Blues added.
"We just have to start out small, find little ways that could help wake her up, baby," Low-Note Jones commented.
Clampers suddenly got an idea, saying, "Ooh! Ooh! Ay know what'll wake huurr up," before she leaped onto the bed, folded her arms so they looked like wings, and shouted, "Cock-a-doodle-doo"!
"What in Troll was that," Satin asked curiously.
"Whatever it was, it was surely loud," Chenille said while rubbing the inside of her ear in discomfort.
The group was visibly confused, as Clampers explained, "We always wake up ta the sound ov ayy roostuurr ever' mornin'."
"Oh," everyone said in unison before they looked to see if it worked...and it didn't, as Stereo was still asleep.
"Aw danggity doodily," Clampers said while crossing her arms, feeling a bit disappointed.
Laguna patted Clamper's head, saying reassuringly, "It's ok, Clampers, we just need to find a different solution."
McJagger suddenly got a great idea, suggesting, "How about an alarm? I set one up on my phone, so I wake up at certain times or am alerted about things happening, and it goes off pretty loud."
"Good idea, McJagger. Low-Note Jones will do the honors with his cell," Low-Note Jones replied while pulling out his phone and going into his settings where the phone alarms were.
Once he found the right one, he pressed it, and it started to go BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! constantly at a loud volume.
They looked to see if it worked...but it didn't; Stereo was still sound asleep.
"Looks like the alarm didn't work either," Rhythm declared.
"How else are we gonna wake her," Satin asked.
"There's got to be something we can do," Chenille mentioned.
DJ Suki then commented while bopping her head, "Though that beat the alarm is going off at is pretty catchy."
Everyone else couldn't but bop their heads to the beat of the alarm as they started thinking of new ways of waking Stereo up, putting their solutions through song.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wake It Up from The Beat Goes On~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DJ Suki, Satin and Chenille: Wake Up!
R&B, Low-Note Jones: Wake Up!
Laguna and McJagger: Wake Up!
Clampers: Wake Up!
DJ Suki first came up with the idea of jumping on the couch in hopes that Stereo being in the air might help awaken her, and Satin and Chenille helped Stereo jump up and down on the couch, bouncing Stereo up into the air.
Satin and Chenille: It's time to rise and shine!
DJ Suki: Hit the daily grind!
Sati and Chenille: You can do it!
DJ Suki: Let's get to it!
DJ Suki, Satin and Chenille: Come on, look alive!
When that idea didn't work, the next idea was for McJagger to use his defibrillator to help shock Stereo awake, as he rubbed the electric pads on the defibrillator and placed them over her chest, giving the sleeping Techno a small shock.
R&B: Ain't no time to delay!
Low-Note Jones: Come on and seize the day!
Rhythm: Wake it up!
Blues: Shake it up!
But that didn't even work, as Stereo was still asleep from it.
Low-Note Jones: 3, 2, 1!
R&B, Low-Note Jones: Activate!
Laguna and McJagger: Roll out, let's get kickin'! Perk up, Stereo, time is tickin'! Put a little pep into it!
Clampers: Y'all ken do it, y'all ken do it!
Laguna splashed Stereo with a bucket of water, soaking the Techno, but that didn't work.
All: Ooh, ooh, ohh!
Blues blasted a megaphone next to Stereo's head, but the sound of the megaphone didn't work either.
All: It's time to wake that body!
Clampers banged a golden gong, and not only did that not work, but the force of hitting the gong made Clampers vibrate off to the side.
All: Let's get this party started!
Low-Note Jones used his remote to shine light at Stereo's eyes, but that didn't seem to work either.
All: Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Rhythm activated a music-playing gadget that played a few instruments together, but the noise from the machine didn't even stir Stereo from her slumber.
All: Wake it, wake it up! Wake it, wake it, wake it up!
Satin and Chenille thought tucking Stereo under a thick blanket would make her feel too hot to sleep longer. But when they placed the heavy quilt onto Stereo, it only seemed to make the sleeping Techno snuggle into it more while she slept.
McJagger: Stretch it out, open up those bleary eyes (Clampers: Uh-huh!)!
Laguna: Get those spirits up, up, up, up!
Laguna and McJagger: We'll help you energize (Clampers: Woo!)!
DJ Suki grabbed some pots from the kitchen and banged them together while running around the couch back and forth, but that ruckus didn't even work at all.
Clampers: Y'all got stuff ta do, today's no taame ta haabernate (Laguna and McJagger: No!)! Get that body up, ay said!
Laguna, McJagger, Clampers: 3,2,1, Activate! Hey!
DJ Suki: Roll out, let's get kickin'!
Satin: Perk up, Stereo!
Chenille: Time is tickin'!
R&B: Put a little pep into it!
Low-Note Jones: You can do it, you can do it!
McJagger tried to create a really stinky liquid that would smell so bad it could make anyone reel back, thinking the smell would awaken her. While everyone, including him, wore nose pins, he lowered the bottle with the stinky liquid he made, but the smell wasn't even strong enough to stir Stereo awake from her deep slumber.
All: Ooh, ooh ohh! It's time to wake that body! Let's get this party started!
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Wake it, wake it up! Wake it, wake it, wake it up!
Laguna grabbed some glowsticks from Synth and Stereo's bedroom and placed them together, thinking the light from the glowstick's energy would help, but that idea didn't work either.
All: Ooh, ooh, ohh! It's time to wake that body! Let's get this party started!
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Wake it, wake it up! Wake it, wake it, wake it up!
McJagger: Break it down!
DJ Suki: Wake up!
Satin: Wake up!
Chenille: Wake up!
Clampers: Wake up!
McJagger: Wake up!
Low-Note Jones: Wake up!
Laguna: Wake up!
Clampers: Wake up!
Their next idea involved something they thought would not fail at all: singing and dancing, swinging Stereo around, so the power of music, song, and dance would stir her from her slumber. One by one, each Troll picked up Stereo and spun her around, swung her, or tried to get her sleepy body dancing so it'd get her awake
All: Oh, oh!
Low-Note Jones: Now ain't the time to snooze!
All: Oh, oh!
McJagger: You got too much to lose!
All: Oh, oh!
Clampers: We got some work ta do!
Laguna: That's quite enough siesta! Come on now; it's time to cruise!
All: Oh, oh!
DJ Suki: I think you slept enough!
All: Oh, oh!
Satin: Come on, show us your stuff!
All: Oh, oh!
Chenille: Ain't nothing to discuss!
All: You got your beauty rest, now, get that glitter body up!
After Clampers ceremoniously dropped Stereo because she was small and couldn't hold Stereo up, they saw that even after all that, Stereo was still asleep, snoring soundly.
Satin and Chenille: Roll out!
Clampers: Let's get kickin'!
Low-Note Jones: Perk up, Stereo!
DJ Suki: Time is tickin'!
R&B: Put a little pep into it!
Laguna and McJagger: You can do it, you can do it!
The next idea they put into effect was that they all worked together to use their hair and carry the couch around like a parade float and danced while doing so, thinking the motion of the dancing and the couch moving could be the solution.
All: Ooh, ooh, ohh! It's time to wake that body! Let's get this party started!
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Wake it, wake it up! Wake it, wake it, wake it up!
Ooh, ooh, ohh! It's time to wake that body! Let's get this party started!
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Wake it, wake it up! Wake it, wake it, wake it up!
Wake it up!
Even after the song and dance ended, and everyone was breathing heavily while they lowered the couch back down, thinking it worked, they were disappointed to see Stereo still asleep on the couch, snoring.
Everyone groaned in exhaustion while Satin said, "Well, that did not go well."
"Nothing we did woke her up," Chenille added while rubbing her eyes tiredly.
"Note: the effects of this sleeping potion she was affected by seems to run a lot deeper than we thought," Laguna mentioned while stretching her arms up.
"Looks like we're gonna have to do something else to try and wake her up," Low-Note Jones commented as everyone got to thinking.
In Val and Melody's room, Val cut up a pancake into tiny pieces before she brought the plate over and placed it on the table, saying, "Here, Melly. I know you wanted to have flapjacks this morning, so, I cut one up for you."
Melody, who was currently perched on top of Holly's ponytail, chirped as she flew over to the table and pecked at the tiny pieces of the cut-up pancake.
"Awww, ay know she's supposed ta be ayy Troll, but she's adorable as ayy lil' bird! Look at huurr go, peckin' at that flapjack," Holly commented.
"Maybe y'all should nickname huurr "Flapjack" Val," Gust added, suggesting that name as a fun little joke, causing him, Dante, Minuet, and Sid to laugh.
Melody looked up and gave Gust what looked like a deadpanned look, making the sheriff chuckle and say, "Ay was jokin', Mel."
While Melody continued to peck at the pancake, Val paced the floor nervously, saying, "I still can't believe my cousin's a bird! I know she was sort of little before, but now she can fit in the palm of my hand! Or on my shoulder"!
"Kind of like a pirate," Riff commented, but seeing Val give him "the stare" made him retract his statement by saying, "Or something"?
"How are we gonna explain this to Ms. Shredder and Evie when we go back," Demo asked hesitantly.
"We aren't because we'll have Melly back to normal before we go back...r-right," Val replied, feeling concerned Melody was gonna be stuck as a bird forever.
"Don't worry, Val. We'll have her back to normal soon," Biggie said, trying to sound reassuringly, before he saw Melody trying to peck at Mr. Dinkles, who was swinging at her with its tongue, as he gasped and held Mr. Dinkles back, saying, "Mr. Dinkles, no! Don't disturb her like that"!
He then saw Melody try to peck it again, as he gently swatted his hand to have her keep her distance, saying, "Hey, no pecking at Mr. Dinkles. I know you may be a bird, but he's not an eating worm."
Melody chirped an apology to Biggie, and even though he couldn't know what she was saying, he had a sense of what Melody was trying to tell him, smiling while he said, "Apology accepted."
"I do wish we can understand the language of the avian species. Then, it'd make things easier to talk to Melody and understand what she is telling us," Dante commented.
"Big deal. Just go "Tweet, tweet. Squawk, chirp." What's the worst that can come out of saying that," Sid commented.
Melody seemed to give the disguised Flexi-Troll another deadpanned look, and flew over to him, pecking Sid hard on the forehead, making him hold where he got pecked while saying, "Ow"!
"Sounds laake y'all said somethin' pretty bad in your "bird talk" Sid," Buckaroo pointed out.
Sid rubbed his forehead while saying, "I guess so. This is probably why I prefer reptiles over birds."
Melody then saw the nearby window and tried to fly towards it, making Buckaroo declare, "Looks laake she wants ta go outsaade, y'all."
"But we can't let her, remember? She'll probably fly around and not come back, and I can't go losing my cousin out on these streets now that she's a lot smaller," Val commented anxiously.
"Come on, this is your cousin. I'm sure she's still s smart as any Troll, even as a bird, and would do the rational thing and listen to-," Sid started to say.
But when Melody approached the window, she ended up landing face-first into the glass, sliding down as she fell down.
Everyone gaspd in surprise, while Sid commented, "Or she'd be stupid and run into the window."
"AHH! Melly," Val exclaimed worryingly as she dove down and caught her little bird cousin in time.
"Why did she crash into the window," Minuet asked.
"Yes, that is quite the inquiry. The window was closed, wouldn't she have seen that," Dante added onto the question.
"Whel, birds, if ay remembuurr, ken't see glass. So ta them, ay window would just look open, but they wouldn't notice the glass surroundin' it that keeps the window closed," Holly commented.
"Gnarly," Riff commented in surprise.
However, while still lying on the floor with her bird cousin in her hands, Val couldn't help but tear up a bit, saying, "Oh Melly, I wish there's a lot more we can do for you. I miss you as a Troll."
Melody knew her cousin was feeling sad as she chirped kindly and flew up a bit, letting Val sit on the floor, hold up her finger so she could land on it like a perch, and snuggle its head against her cheek.
Val saw that Melody was trying to cheer her up a bit and help her feel better, making her say with a small smile, trying to hide a stifled chuckle, "Melly, stop; that tickles."
But the little bird didn't stop and continued it until she saw Val's smile get bigger and heard the Rock ambassador laugh.
"Awwwwwwwww," everyone said in unison.
Seeing Val feel better thanks to Melody's comfort, Gust tipped his hat while saying, "Looks laake Mel, even as ayy bird, is a lot smatuurr than we think."
Val grinned, saying, "Well, she is a part of my family, and who knows you better than family"?
Melody chirped something in reply that made Val chuckle and reply, "Yeah, exactly," before her eyes widened in surprise, with Val exclaiming while looking at Melody, "HUH"?!
Everyone else was visibly surprised, too, as Biggie asked, "Val, did you...understand what she said"?
"I...I think I did," Val replied before she looked at Melody, asking her, "Say something to me again, Melly."
Melody chirped something at Val again, making Val gasp while asking, "If you could have another pancake"?
When she saw Melody nod in reply, Val gasped, saying, "I can understand my cousin's chirps"!
"Woohoo! At least now, we ken get ayy sense ov what she's sayin with y'all translatin' faw huurr, Val," Holly replied happily.
"How is it that she's able ta understand huurr, but we ken't," Buckaroo asked while rubbing the back of their neck.
Val thought about it before saying, "Maybe because since I'm her cousin, and we both have a family connection together, that's how? I don't know, but I'm just relieved to see that we can at least be able to include her in the conversation again."
Melody then chirped something at Val that made her laugh and say, "Good one, Melly"!
"What did she say," Dante asked.
"Oh, she just said that she didn't want to continue to "Ruffle any feathers" with this bird situation," Val joked, making everyone laugh.
Sid then suddenly got an idea, saying, "Hold on a second. She's a bird now because of the effects of a potion, right? You think that if she gets splashed with another potion, it might reverse the effects"?
Everyone took that idea into thought, trying to think if it just might work.
In Aggie and Trollex's room, Aggie and her friends were all busy trying to figure out a new way that they could still get to see Trollex, despite that he was invisible.
"Ok, so, as you can see, or not see, in this case, the issue we have at hand here," Aggie commented while gesturing the group to Trollex, who was currently standing in front of them, but it was hard to tell because well...no one could see him since he was invisible.
"I don't see anything," Cooper commented in confusion.
"Exactly, man. Trollex is invisible, so, we can't see him," Prince D explained to Cooper, who said, "Oh"!
"And trust me, it's a lot harder for me to not be seen than it for you guys to try and know that I'm here," Trollex explained.
"And it's confusing for us too, yo! We can hear you, but it's hard to know if you're really there," Synth mentioned.
"What we need is a way to see Trollex or give him something that will make him stand out for we can be certain that he's right there in the room with us," Legsley commented.
Guy Diamond got a great idea, saying, "I know! Maybe Tiny and I can glitter toot and sprinkle Trollex in glitter. That way, not only would it make him easy to see, but he'll also shimmer everywhere he goes."
"Yeah, daddy! There ain't nothing glitter can't fix," Tiny commented.
"I appreciate the idea, but I think the glitter might be a bit itchy on me," Trollex replied.
Cooper then got a great idea, saying, "I know! Let's make cupcakes"!
"Cooper, how are cupcakes gonna solve this," Smidge asked curiously.
"Because every time I make cupcakes, I always end up spilling flour everywhere, and it covers me in a thick layer, so I look like a snow Troll-," Cooper started to explain.
"Cooper, that's it," Aggie exclaimed happily.
"I am," Cooper asked curiously.
"We're actually gonna cover Trollex in flour," Legsley asked curiously.
"Maybe not flour exactly because it might be a bit too messy," Aggie replied while saying, "I mean, if he cover Trollex with something, that way, we can have an easier time with knowing he's here."
"I'm down for a little dress up, if it means that I'll get to be visible, somehow," Trollex replied.
"Plus, yo, if we get you in a fun costume, you can make my future sis-in-law blush again, bro," Synth commented in a playful manner, causing Aggie and Trollex to blush simultaneously.
"Not only that, but in a costume, Trollex will be able to join you and the other leaders during the meeting downstairs too," Tiny Diamond added.
"True, but we'll need to make it look super realistic, so that way, they can't tell Trollex isn't visible," Prince D mentioned.
"I can lend Trollex my hat," Cooper commented while taking his hat off and giving it to Trollex, or so he thought he did, as he watched it drop to the floor.
Watching Trollex pick it up and place it on his head was a startling sight at first, making everyone shout a bit at first, especially when they saw the hat seemingly floating.
Trollex, however, was able to help them relax by saying, "Guys, not to worry, it's still me."
That made the group sigh in relief, as Synth said, "On the plus side, seeing the hat on you, bro, now helps us to see where you're standing."
"Except we might need to get you a bigger het to cover your entire, uh...head, and we will also need to get some more clothing for you to wear," Guy Diamond pointed out, saying, "I can ask Satin and Chenille if we can borrow some of their clothing."
"Good idea, Guy. And also ask if they have found anything out with helping to get our friends back to normal," Aggie replied.
As Guy Diamond left the room to see Satin and Chenille, Aggie fished through her hair and pulled out the big floppy hat she wore the day of the musical showcase, saying, "Here, this hat might be better for you, Trollex."
Trollex took off Cooper's hat and placed the big floppy hat on, saying, "Yeah, I think this might fit me much better. Here, Cooper, the thought was nice of you to offer me your hat," while giving Cooper back his hat.
Cooper giggled, saying, "You're welcome," before he placed his hat back on, saying, "I missed you, hat"!
Guy Diamond soon returned to the condo room, carrying a box full of clothes, saying, "Satin and Chenille said we could use these"!
"That's perfect, yo," Synth commented happily while picking out a long light blue scarf, saying, "These are so *imitates airhorn noises*"!
"This dark blue jacket can also help," Smidge said while picking up a jacket from the box.
"And these green gloves," Prince D said while picking up a pair of green winter gloves.
"How about these pants," Legsley said while pulling out a pair of black pants.
"These sunglasses for his eyes," Cooper said while picking up a pair of big sunglasses.
"Plus, these headphones will also make it seem like you're listening to music," Guy Diamond pointed out while picking out a pair of purple headphones from the box.
By the time Trollex was dressed up in all the items that the group picked out for him, he looked like his entire body was completely hidden underneath the clothing. The only thing that was still invisible was the tips of his tailfins, but luckily, Trollex can float and just make it look like they're behind him, so no one could get suspicious of him actually being invisible.
Trollex looked in the mirror and, underneath the scarf he had wrapped around him, his flashed an invisible smile, saying, "Now this is perfect"!
"Ooh, so handsome," Aggie said excitedly while picking up Trollex and swinging him around, blushing and thinking Trollex looked so handsome with all the clothing on.
Trollex blushed and giggled as Aggie kissed him on the cheek.
"Now, he looks completely hidden," Tiny Diamond commented.
"Wow, bro! That's some outfit," Synth commented with a chuckle.
Trollex replied while looking down at his outfit, "Well, it feels a bit heavy and hot, but it's worth it. Now, the leaders won't know that I'm invisible."
"And if they ask, we'll just say that...uh...you're...battling a fever from...food poisoning, and you need these clothes on to help...sweat it off," Aggie added on.
"Perfect plan, Aggi-i-i-i-i-ie. There's no way this can go wrong," Guy Diamond replied.
Suddenly, Aggie heard the door knock and came over to open it, seeing that it was Low-Note Jones, Holly, and DJ Suki, saying to them, "Hey, you two! How's it going with Melody and Stereo"?
"Well, she seems ta be doin' ok, but she keeps tryin' ta fly ta the window, wantin' ta fly around outsaade," Holly replied.
"And Stereo's still sleeping like a rock. Not even a simple shrill scream will awaken her," DJ Suki added.
"We got Melody settled in ayy lil' cage raheet here," Holly said while parting her hair, showing Melody resting inside a little gold birdcage, sitting on a bird perch, adding, "Whaale we head out ta go get somethin'."
"We came up with something that might help; Sid suggested that there might be a solution at the potion shop, so, we're heading there to look," Low-Note Jones stated.
"Good idea, guys. Just be careful, and call me if anything happens," Aggie told her friends, who nodded before they left, heading to the elevator.
Trollex then walked up to Aggie, saying, "So, think we might be ready to head downstairs to the meeting"?
"I think so. Let's cross our fingers and hope this goes well," Aggie replied, as she felt Trollex give her a reassuring hand squeeze while they left the condo room.
Meanwhile, while the rest of the Trolls were trying to help Melody, Trollex, and Stereo, the leaders were all getting the dining room set for the impromptu meeting, which was 5 minutes away, as it was 12:55 pm.
"And...that should do it," Trollzart said while adjusting the tablecloth.
"I really hope we can get through this without any disasters going on," Branch commented.
"I'm sure everyone's gonna be all better by the time they come," Barb replied, sounding confident, before suddenly, she felt...dazed, as something played in her mind.
In her mind, she saw what looked like the leaders of Harmonious Land, and they seemed shocked to be seeing something.
Once the little "mysterious clip" ended, Barb snapped back into it, as she was shocked by what she saw. No one saw what happened to Barb, much to her relief, but it didn't relieve her from being stunned by what she saw.
"Oh my Troll," she muttered to herself, processing that she must've just...seen the future! She realized that she just had a psychic vision but had no idea how or why it happened!
Before she could even question the thought properly, Poppy interrupted her train of thought, saying, "Barb, you ok"?
Barb quickly straightened up, acting like nothing happened, saying, "Y-Yeah, Popsqueak; I'm rocking! just...can't wait for the Harmonious leaders to arrive."
"Did someone say "leaders", a voice interrupted, making the other leaders turn their heads and see Aggie and the disguised Trollex standing there.
The other leaders were surprised to see Trollex in the crazy costume, as Delta asked, "Uh, Trollex, why are y'all wearin' that"?
"This is my "make me visible" costume, so the Harmonious Leaders won't see that I'm invisible," Trollex explained.
"Low-Note Jones, Holly, and DJ Suki left to go to the potion store to see if they could find something to help our friends snap out of the effects of the potions," Aggie explained.
"In the meantime, Melody is still a bird and Stereo is still asleep," Trollex added.
"Well, hopefully, this gets itself resolved soon. I just hope we don't get anymore unexpected surprises," Essence commented.
Then, to the leaders', and Aggie's shock, the Harmonious Land leaders suddenly entered through the front door, with Mayor Travor declaring, "Howdy, y'all"1
Aggie and the Normal Troll leaders all shouted a bit in shock before straightening up, trying to seem normal, with Poppy saying, "Hi, guys! W-what an unexpected surprise"!
"What are you all doing here, and so early too," Quincy asked.
"What do you mean? It's 1pm," Captain Raven commented.
The Normal Trolls checked the clock and gasped when they saw that it was already 1 pm, much to their dismay.
Trollex gulped nervously, saying, "Oh, it is? My my, time sure flies when you're having fun."
"Yep! Though, what's with other outfit you're wearing," Governor Rodrigo asked.
"It looks a little bit heavy on you," Bailey commented.
Aggie quickly covered for Trollex, saying, "He's, uh...not feeling well! He's got a fever from food poisoning but didn't want to miss the meeting today. So, he's wearing all this to sweat it off."
To her luck, the leaders bought the cover-up, as Amelia commented, "Oh my, that's quite a brave thing to do. Are you sure you're feeling up to taking part in the meeting"?
"Uh...y-yes! Yes, I am," Trollex replied, adding, "I wouldn't miss out on us getting to tell you about all the fun we've been having here in Harmonious Land."
"Perfect. Let us all sit down and begin," Trollazon declared as both groups of leaders sat down at the dining room table and were ready to start discussing.
Outside the condo in Smile-o Smile-o City, Low-Note Jones, DJ Suki, and Holly were just exiting the shop, with Low-Note Jones carrying a small vile with indigo liquid inside.
"According to that Magic Pop Troll, she said that this would help our afflicted friends out," Low-Note Jones commented while looking at the vile.
"I hope it'll work. Maybe we should test it out first and see what it does," DJ Suki suggested.
"Great idea, DJ," Holly commented as she took the bird cage out of her hair, where Melody looked around, chirping curiously, wanting to know what was going on.
Low-Note Jones opened the vile and poured out a few drops that splashed onto Melody, who, after the drops landed on her, ruffled her feathers, trying to get dry since, to her, the drops felt like getting drenched in a downpour.
"You think it worked," Holly asked while looking at Melody.
"She still seems to look like a bird," DJ Suki commented with a raised eyebrow.
"Maybe if we stay still and watch carefully, we'll see the liquid start to do something," Low-Note Jones suggested.
The trio stood absolutely still and looked at the birdcage, watching what Melody would do next.
Melody proceeded to chirp a bit before using her beak to pick the lock on the bird cage before flying out of the cage, picking up the vile in Low-Note Jones's paw with her feet and carrying it with her as she flew off somewhere.
"Well, well, seems like it just made her act more bird-like," Low-Note Jones commented with a chuckle, adding, "What a world"!
Holly then pointed out, "Hold on. She just picked that there lock all by herself and escaped the cage, raheet"?
"Right," DJ Suki and Low-Note Jones stated in unison.
"Ayn now, she's free ta fly wherevuurr she wants, ayn' had just so happen ta pick up the possible only solushun ta our poshun problem along with it, raheet," Holly asked.
"Right," DJ Suki and Low-Note Jones stated in unison.
"Ayn' we're just standin' here lollygaggin' whaale she's out there flyin' off ta who knows where, possibly gettin' inta some kind of danguurr, whaale also endangerin' our own chances ov getting caught with what's happening," holly added, exclaiming the last half of her sentence in shock/horror.
"Rig-oh," DJ Suki and Low-Note Jones stated in unison, looking at one another.
"That's not good," Low-Note Jones stated in worry, despite his voice sounding so cool.
"After her," DJ Suki exclaimed while the trio started to run after the flyaway Melody bird.
Back in the condo, in Synth and Stereo's room, Stereo was, you guessed it, still asleep.
Synth's group, who were helping Aggie and Trollex earlier, had come to join in with helping to wake up Stereo, along with Val's group, who came in to help.
"Wow, she's really sleeping hard," Demo mentioned.
"Nothing we've tried has even made her stir from her slumber," Satin commented.
"And we've tried everything," Chenille added.
Suddenly, Synth had a great idea, saying, "Maybe a kiss from her Prince Charming will help awaken her from her slumber," as he approached Stereo and gave her a kiss on the lips.
However, not even his love for Stereo was strong enough to awaken her, making Synth whimper sadly like a puppy who just had an accident.
McJagger patted Synth on the back, saying, "Don't worry. We'll find something that'll work."
"What else can we try, though? She seems like she can sleep through possibly anything," Smidge mentioned.
"I bet if a Growlbeast just broke into the condo right now, and we were all screaming for our lives, she wouldn't even wake up to that," Val added.
"Blame that there poshun she's unduurr. It's got huurr sleepin' more soundly than ayy relaxed Puffalo at ayy day spa," Buckaroo commented.
Clampers suddenly had an idea that was so crazy it was bound to work. She casually approached the end of the couch, climbed up it towards where Stereo's fins were, and then tried to BITE one of the fins, not too hard, but enough that, she thought, would stir a reaction.
"Clampers! Don't baate huurr," Gust declared when he saw the mayor's niece biting Stereo's fins.
"Relax; ay have ayy plan with-," Clampers stated, her voice muffled, but then, she was greeted with a shocking surprise: the fin she was biting, Stereo twitched and kicked clampers off the couch, making the Country Trolling tumble to the floor.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Did you see that," Prince D commented?
"Stereo reacted to Clampers biting her fin," rhythm mentioned while writing it down on a notepad.
"But she still seems to be asleep; look," Blues mentioned while pointing to Stereo, who still snored soundly.
Laguna adjusted her glasses while theorizing, "Note: it appears that while there is no profound solution yet to awaken Stereo, this new finding shows us that, while in deep slumber, she is still conscious in the manner of anything that comes into physical contact with her."
"Now that you mention it, when we gave her that quilt, she snuggled into it," Satin mentioned, remembering from earlier.
"So anything that touches her, she reacts to it," Chenille inquired.
"It does appear to seem likely, but we would need another test to prove that theory," Dante mentioned.
"I got this," Sid said while walking up to Stereo, and started to poke her cheek, saying repeatedly, "Wake up. Wake up. Wake up."
After saying it a few times, Stereo's hand seemed to swat at him, making Sid step back, saying, "Look, she swatted at me."
"So the theory is right; any time Stereo is within the distance of something physically touching her, she responds, even while asleep," Minuet commented.
"But then, why didn't she move when we swung her around while we danced earlier," Cooper asked curiously.
"Maybe because that wasn't an actual physical touch, and so, there was no need to react," Guy Diamond suggested with an unsure shrug.
"Dang, this is getting real confusing for my tiny brain to comprehend," Tiny Diamond commented.
Legsley suddenly saw Stereo stir, making her say, "Hold up! She's moving! Maybe she's waking up"!
Everyone watched quietly to see what Stereo was gonna do.
Stereo got up from the couch...and was still asleep, standing up! But then, even more, surprising than that...she started to walk around them, all while snoring.
"She's...sleepwalking," Biggie replied, while Mr. Dinkles said a quiet "Mew" in agreement.
"Well...at least she's moving...of some sort," Riff stated.
Suddenly, Val heard the sound of chirping and something tapping on glass as she looked over and saw Melody tapping the window outside with her beak.
"Melly," Val exclaimed as she ran to the window and opened it, letting Melody in, before closing it and asking while Melody was flying/hovering in front of her cousin, "What are you doing out of your cage?! and what's that thing you're holding"?
Melody chirped her answer to Val while giving her the vile, as Val asked, "You guys got this at the potion shop, with that register lady saying it would help"?
Melody nodded and tried to tell Val it didn't, but Val was too preoccupied with thinking the vile was working, saying, "Yes! We can get everything back to normal now! Synth, heads up"!
She tossed the vile to Synth, who opened it and sprinkled a few drops onto his sleepwalking wife, who stood still for a minute while everyone watched, with Buckaroo asking while Synth gave Val the vile back, "Y'all think it worked"?
The answer they got...was Stereo snoring as she sleepwalked away from the couch.
"Look, she's walking away from the couch," Legsley commented.
Then, Stereo sleepwalked over to the door.
"Now, she's by the door," Dante mentioned.
Stereo, while asleep, started to fumble her hands over to the doorknob.
"Now she's tryin' ta faand the doorknob. Ay think she wants ta open the door," Gust stated.
Stereo then found it and opened the door.
"She's opening the door," Riff replied.
Stereo then sleepwalked out of the condo room and closed the door behind her, all while sleepwalking.
"Now, she's exited the room, and we're left here all by ourselves while she's sleepwalking down the hallway. Possibly to the elevator, so she can go downstairs," Cooper added with a chuckle.
Synth chuckled to while saying, "Yeah. She'll probably go downstairs and sleepwalk around by the leaders and my invis-bro, and-,"
Suddenly, the shock of what happened came to them, and they all exclaimed, "She's sleepwalking all the way downstairs"?!
"After her! Before she gets to the elavator," Laguna exclaimed as they all ran out of the condo room and to the elevator.
They ran as fast as they could, but they were too late, as they watched Stereo, who pressed the button on the elevator while sleepwalking, and the doors closed, taking her downstairs.
"NOOOOO! We're too late," Synth exclaimed sadly while covering his face worryingly.
Suddenly, Melody pointed her foot at the other elevator while chirping, which Smidge saw and exclaimed, "Quick! Into the other elevator"!
Everyone all piled into the other elevator and tried to get down as fast as they could to get to Stereo before it was too late.
Over in the dining room, the meeting was actually going very well, and no one once was getting suspicious of Trollex being invisible.
Every time Trollex felt nervous that someone was noticing any small details of his invisibility, Aggie gave his hand a reassuring squeeze, which helped the Techno king relax.
"And there's been so many amazing things to see, and so much more we still want to explore," Poppy told Trollazon.
"Well, it certainly makes us happy that you all have had quite a positive experience so far during your stay here," Trollazon stated happily.
"Well, of course, not everything has been so "positive." There are those who still aren't used to seeing us around, or still feel a bit mistrustful about us because of the past," Branch pointed out.
"Ay know it's tough, but nawht ta worry, y'all, those MMTs will soon come around ayn' see y'all faw who y'all are. Just give 'em some mawe taame," Mayor Travor replied.
"Oh, Trollex, I forgot to mention; how've you been," Rodrigo asked the Techno king.
"Uh, great, so far. I mean, as great as it can be. Everything completely normal for us Normal Trolls," Trollex answered hesitantly.
"I heard about what happened at Manny's; that was brave of you and Aggie to stand up for McJagger and Laguna like that," Rodrigo replied.
"Though, what were you both doing at Manny's anyway? Didn't you know it was a couple's restaurant," Amelia inquired curiously.
Aggie and Trollex suddenly froze nervously at the question, with Aggie saying, "Uh..w-we didn't know! T-That's all, yeah."
"But you both would've been denied entry if you tried to go in separately unless," Bailey deduced before he gasped, commenting, "Oh my Troll! Are you both a couple"?!
Aggie tried to nervously blow it off, saying, "What? Pfft! No way, we aren't a couple," while secretly crossing her hand by her neck so Trollex would know she was lying.
"Y-Yeah! Where would you get such a silly idea from," Trollex commented as he gave Aggie his own secret sign: he tapped her shoulder 3 times. Since being invisible meant he couldn't do any signs that she could see, he had to do a physical contact sign to let her know he was covering.
But the way Trollex and Aggie looked so nervous, it made the leaders very suspicious, as Trollazon then asked, "So, you both aren't a couple"?
When they got two head shakes no, Raven then asked, "So, Aggie, does Trollex like to sometimes catch you by surprise with a hug or a kiss"?
Aggie blushed and said with a small smile, "Heh, sometimes-," before she realized what she was answering and shouted, "What?! Oh, Troll"!
"You both are dating," Raven exclaimed as she and the rest of the Harmonious Land leaders were shocked.
Barb facepalmed, knowing that her first psychic vision had just come true.
Trollex shot Raven a deep glare that said, "I will murder you if I get the chance to," and muttered to himself, "Be lucky I'm invisible so you can't see the glare I'm firing at you right now."
"Please don't tell anyone about them being together, guys. They've been trying so hard to keep it a secret ever since we came here," Poppy pleaded.
"Yeah, y'all. Ayn' we maheet nawht know what y'all think ov them bein' togethuurr, but Aggie ayn' Trollex are so happy togethuurr," Delta added on.
"Their romance has blossomed into such a beautiful partnership, and they love being together, and want to stay together forever," Trollzart added.
The Harmonious Land leaders all looked at one another, with Trollazon saying, "Well, hearing what you all to say, I have but one thing to say about this...who are we to even think about tearing up tre love apart"?
Aggie and the Normal Troll leaders were so surprised, looking at one another in confusion.
"Were y'all worried we were gonna nawht approve ov your relationship," Travor asked curiously.
"Uh...yeah," Trollex answered nervously.
"That's why we didn't tell anyone yet, other than my parents, and two of my cousins, but aside from them, no one else knows yet," Aggie replied.
"Hey, if anything, we think you both seem so sweet together," Amelia commented.
"Yeah, and judging by how you reacted when I asked that question, you deeply care about your boyfriend. And I can tell he's the same with caring deeply about you, right," raven added.
"Yes, Trollex and Aggie have been very happy together, and their love has grown very very strong," Quincy stated.
"And if he makes her this happy, then we're very happy to see them together," Rodrigo mentioned.
"And yes, we will happily keep your relationship a secret for the time being until you both have told everyone else when you feel ready too," Trollazon commented.
Aggie and Trollex, and the rest of the Normal Troll leaders, all sighed breaths of relief while Aggie said, "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much! you have no idea how much this means to me and Trollex"!
"We really appreciate this, guys. On behalf of Aggie and me, we are both eternally grateful," Trollex commented while wrapping his arm around Aggie and hugging her close.
"Aw, think nothin' ov it," Travor replied.
Suddenly, what interrupted the conversation was the sound of the elevator bell ringing and the doors opening, where they saw Stereo sleepwalking out of it, before the next elevator opened up, with the rest of the Normal Trolls running out while Smidge, Gust, Sid, Minuet, and Demo using their hair to try and restrain Stereo, who kept pushing forward while sleepwalking.
"Stereo, wake up and snap out of this," Synth exclaimed nervously, trying to help his lover wake up.
Melody chirped frantically while flying around the group, trying to get them to calm down and relax, but no one, except Val, could understand her chirps.
"Melly, that advice is not crucial here! Can't you peck her awake," Val exclaimed at the bird.
The Harmonious Land leaders were very startled/confused to see this, as Bailey asked, "Uh, are they alright"?
"I wish we could that," Branch commented while facepalming.
"I wish I had seen that coming," Aggie stated out loud.
Her comment made Amelia ask, "Wait, how would you even see that coming"?
Aggie realized what she said and sheepishly smiled, saying, "'Cause...I may or may not...have psychic visions and am able to see the future."
Seeing the jaw-dropped looks on their faces, Barb added, "Please don't tell anyone about that either," as she got six nodding MMT heads as a response.
"Anything else anyone want to admit while we're all basically out in the open," Rodrigo asked, trying to recover from the surprise.
"Or are there anymore unexpected surprises that want to come walking in through the door," Raven added.
On cue, a voice chimed in with, "No need; I'm here to help."
Everyone, except Stereo because she was asleep, turned their heads to see who had said that.
It came from a male Magic Classical Troll, who entered the condo, with a very exhausted Low-Note Jones, Holly, and DJ Suki, following him.
Aggie and the Harmonious Land leaders gasped in surprise, while the Normal Trolls were very confused.
"Who's that," Tiny asked curiously.
"Noynoy," Trollazon said while getting up and smiling, adding, "What are you doing here"?
"Uh, hold up: you know this guy," Val asked the president.
Trollazon nodded, while Aggie said excitedly while getting up, "Yeah, Noynoy happens to be the former president of Harmonious Land"!
"Wow," everyone said in awe.
Noynoy grinned while saying, "Allow me to introduce myself to you, Normal Trolls. I am Benigo Simeon Aquino III, but you can call me Noynoy."
"Nice ta meet y'all," Delta said while the Normal Troll leaders smiled and bowed as a common courtesy towards the former president.
"Wait a minute," Sid commented, saying, "Aquino is your last name? Isn't that just like the current president's last name"?
"Yes, because the current president...is also my mother," Noynoy answered as he and Trollazon shared a hug.
"Oh my guh! That's so cool," Smidge exclaimed.
"And super sweet," Riff added.
"Does that mean that your brother happens to be Noah," Dante inquired.
"Yes, but he and I don't get along so well. But I do get along better with my four sisters," Noynoy commented.
"4 sisters," Satin and Chenille exclaimed in surprise, with Satin saying, "It's hard enough for me to handle just one"!
"Same here," Chenille added, with her and Satin sending one another mini glares.
"Noynoy, what brings ya here, man," Travor asked.
Noynoy answered, "Simple: I got a call that there was a little potion problem, and I came to help resolve it."
"Perfect timing, because ay don't know how much longuurr they ken hold that sleepwalkin' Techno up," Buckaroo said while pointing to the Trolls who were struggling to hold Stereo back from sleepwalking more.
"Yeah, and I want my cousin back to normal," Val added while watching Melody land on her head and tweet in concern.
"And I want Trollex," Aggie started to say before quickly making up an excuse, saying, "To get better from his food poisoning."
"Mr. Noynoy, would you happen to know the cure," Poppy asked.
"As a matter of fact, I do. There is no cure," Noynoy answered happily.
However, the answer made the Normal Trolls exclaim, "What" in shock.
Noynoy chuckled, adding, "I mean, there's no cure, because this issue will resolve itself in 3...2...1..."
In a puff of smoke, Melody suddenly changed back into her Troll self, as she and Val both screamed while falling back to the floor.
Stereo suddenly stopped pulling forward as she opened her eyes and asked, "Huh? What's going on, yo"?
And in another puff of smoke, Trollex, with his costume coming right off, was now visible again, as Bailey commented, "Hey, you don't look sick anymore, Trollex"!
Trollex looked down at his hands and smiled, saying, "Yes! I can see myself-," before quickly adding, "Uh, getting better! Haha," while hiding how relieved he was to be visible again.
"Buddy," Beat exclaimed happily while hovering by Trollex, who hugged Beat, as the beat drop button hovered into Trollex's hair.
"Haha! I'm a Troll again," Melody cheered happily while she looked down at her hands and saw she was a Pop/Rock Troll again.
"Great for you, Melly. Get off me," Val said while she gently pushed Melody off before the two cousins hugged while chuckling.
Stereo yawned a bit while saying, "Wow, I feel like a just took a very long nap, yo."
"Stereo, my love! You're awake at last," Synth exclaimed happily while hugging her, swinging her around, as the two locked lips happily.
"Noynoy, how did you know the potions would wear off," Rhythm asked curiously.
"I studied potions since I was in high school, and I learned that the effects of them wear off after about six hours," Noynoy replied.
"Wow, talk about really smart. Respect, man," McJagger commented.
Branch then saw how tired Holly, DJ Suki, and Low-Note Jones looked, making him ask, "What happened to you three"?
"After Melody flew off with the vile, we chased after her, but she was too fast," DJ Suki replied.
"We ended up meetin' Noynoy by ayy nearby mechanic ayn' we rode with him ta the condo," Holly added.
"Where the said he was heading to help some Trolls out who got potion situation, which we figured he was referring to our friends. so, we helped with directions to lead him to here," Low-Note Jones stated.
Melody sheepishly smiled, saying, "Sorry about that, guys. As a bird, guess I was a bit of a bird-brain."
Noynoy chuckled, saying, "Well, I am happy to see you all are doing ok, and plus, coming here also allowed me to get the chance to meet you all, Normal Trolls. I have been hoping to get the chance to meet you during my presidency, but who knew I'd end up meeting you all during my retirement. I've heard about your stay and how you've met my mother and her co-leaders, and along with some of the other MMTs around here, and I hope that your adventures may be as harmonious as our friendship is."
"Of course," Trollzart answered happily.
"And the honor is ours as well to be meeting you, Noynoy," Trollex replied.
Noynoy smiled, saying, "Well, I must take my leave. But I do hope we all see each other again soon."
"Let us escort you, Noynoy. We're heading back to the palace anyway. Care to join us," Trollazon offered to her son.
"Sure, mother," Noynoy happily replied as he left the condo with the other Harmonious Land leaders.
After they had left, Biggie commented, "Well, I'm just happy everything's gone back to normal."
"I'm happy to be visible again," Trollx commented, "Being invisible made it feel like I was a ghost, and I was getting hot under all that clothing."
Aggie gave Trollex a big hug, saying, "Plus, I missed getting to see your cute face," before showering Trollex with a lot of kisses, making the Techno king blush happily with a dazed smile.
"I'm happy I'm not flying anymore. My arms are sore from all that flapping," Melody said while stretching her arms up.
"At least you got some exercise out of it, Flapjack," Val commented with a smirk, making Melody groan and roll her eyes, but smiled too.
"I'm happy to be awake again, yo! now, all i want to do is part-tay," Stereo cheered while doing raving motions.
"Haha! Same here, yo," Synth said while doing raving motions too.
I think I know what we all need right now," Poppy said while leaping up from her chair, saying, "A little MD, music, and dancing"!
After Aggie had stopped kissing Trollex, who looked like he was in heaven, Trollex recovered and commented while hugging Aggie close to him, "And i know the perfect hit! Of course, I could use some back up on keyatr"?
Aggie grinned and pulled out her keytar, saying, "Already three steps ahead of you"!
Aggie started to play her keytar to a fast-paced melody while Trollex tuned up his DJ mixer, with Beat taking his happy position on it, while Trollex played Techno music to back her up on it.
Synth floated over to his brother and backed him up on vocals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Somebody To Love (Glee Version)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Synth: Got-gotta keepin'! Get, get, girl! Got-gotta keepin' closer! Feel so right!
Got-gotta keepin'! (Trollex: Oh!) Get, get, girl! Got-gotta keepin' closer! Feel so right (Trollex: Oh-oh!)!
Trollex started to float by Aggie as he sang and danced with her while Synth helped handle the music, with Stereo dancing alongside the prince.
Trollex: For you, I'd write a symphony! I'd tell the violin it's time to sink or swim!
Trollex and Synth: Watch them play for ya!
While playing the music, Synth sang and danced, doing rave motions alongside Stereo, who danced with him.
Synth: For you, I'd be (Trollex: Whoah-whoah!) runnin' a thousand miles! Just to get to where you are!
Trollex: Step!
Trollex and Synth: To the beat of my heart!
Trollex: I don't need a whole lot, but for you, I admit!
Trollex and Synth: I'd rather give you the world, so we can share mine!
Synth: I know you want me to be the one who's givin' you all this attention! Baby, listen!
Trollex and Synth then ushered Branch, Gust, and McJagger to join in, as the trio of boys soon joined the Techno brothers in on the song and dance, with their girlfriends and the rest of the Normal Trolls cheering them on while they danced.
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: I just need somebody to love!
Trollex: I, I don't need too much! Just somebody to love!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: Somebody to love!
Synth: I don't need nothing else! I promise, girl, I swear! I just need somebody to love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody! I-I need somebody!
Trollex and Synth: To love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody! I-I need somebody!
Branch used his hair to spin Poppy around before catching her tango style, making Poppy blush and smile.
Branch: Every day, I bring the sun around! I sweep away the clouds; smile for me!
Gust and Holly both square danced together, clicking hooves and holding hands romantically.
Gust: Ay would take every second!
Gust and Branch: Every single time!
Gust: Spend it like my!
Branch and Gust: Last dime!
McJagger moonwalked and started to dance in Funk style, with Laguna dancing alongside him in their little Techno-Funk salsa routine.
McJagger: Step to the beat of my heart! I don't need a whole lot, but for you, I admit! I'd rather give you the world, so we can share mine!
Trollex and Aggie both sidestepped and floated around one another, their eyes locked into one another's in a loving trance.
Trollex: I know you want me to be the one givin' you all this attention! Baby, listen!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: I just need somebody (Trollex: Oh-uh!) to love (Synth: Oh-uh, no, no, no, no, no!)!
Trollex: I, I don't need too much! Just!
Trollex and McJagger: Somebody to love!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: Somebody to love (Branch: Oh-uh!)!
Synth: I don't need nothing else! I promise, girl, I swear!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: I just need somebody to love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody, I-I need somebody!
Trollex and Synth: To love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody, I-I need somebody!
Trollex and Synth: Somebody to love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody, I-I need somebody!
Trollex and Synth: To love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody, I-I need somebody!
Synth: I just need somebody to love (Gust: Babe!)!
Trollex: And you can have it all! Anything you want, I can bring; give you the!
Trollex and Synth: Finer things, yeah!
Trollex: But what I really want! I have with me, 'cause!
Trollex and Synth: Money can't give me!
Trollex: Somebody to love! Oh!
Synth: Got-gotta keepin'! Get, get, girl (Trollex: I need somebody to love, oh!)! Got-gotta keepin' closer! Feel so right (Trollex: Oooh-uhh!)!
Got-gotta keepin'! Get, get, girl! Got-gotta keepin' closer! Feel so right!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody to love (Trollex: Yeeeah!)
Trollex: I, I don't need too much!
Trollex and McJagger: Just somebody!
Trollex: To love!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: Somebody to love!
Synth: I don't need nothing else! I promise, girl, I swear!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: I just need somebody to love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody (Synth: Somebody!), I-I need somebody!
Trollex and Synth: (McJagger: To love!) To love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody (McJagger: To love!), I-I need somebody (Gust: I just need!)!
Trollex and Synth: (Branch: Somebody to love!) Somebody to love!)
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody, I-I need somebody!
Trollex and Synth: To love!
McJagger, Branch, Gust: I need somebody!
Trollex: I swear, I just need!
Trollex, Synth, McJagger, Branch, Gust: Somebody to love!
After the song concluded, Trollex and Aggie hugged each other and locked lips again while everyone else cheered. Everyone was back to normal, the Harmonious Land leaders knew two of Aggie's secrets and promised to keep them, and Aggie was happy to have Trollex clear and visible again. All seemed good, and it felt like nothing could go wrong.
But, little did they know that Aggie and Trollex's kiss was caught on camera, outside, by Noah, on his phone, who grinned sinisterly after taking the photo, chuckling quietly to himself.
