Poppy and Branch: You can do it solo!
Aggie and Trollex: But then you'd be all by yourself.
Stereo and Synth: (Synth: Yo!) So, it'd be more fun to share this one with someone else! (Tiny Diamond: Hit it, daddy!)
Rhythm, Blues, Quincy, Essence: Together, we will soar across the sky and beyond! (Prince D: To the great beyond!)
Holly Darling, Buckaroo, Delta Dawn: So, tune-up your voice!
Val Thundershock, Barb, and Melody Song: Stand up and sing along!
All: All different voices (Tiny Diamond: Everybody now!), our melodies ringing. We're living in harmony! Yeah, we're living in harmony! Our song is much stronger will every troll singing. We're living in harmony!
Career Craze
A little while after returning back to the condo with her friends following the mystery filled train trip to the Dessert Bake-Off contest and winning first prize, Aggie soon came out of the elevator, announcing, "Everyone, I got a great idea I want to share with you all"!
Everyone, who had also been back after spending most of the night helping with cleaning up and repairing the damages, looked up from what they were doing to listen to Aggie, as Sid replied boredly, "What big, "Brilliant" idea have you come up with this time, Aggie"?
Aggie rolled her eyes in response, saying sarcastically, "Appreciate your enthusiasm, Sid," before clearing her throat and saying, "So, as you know, yesterday was pretty, um...hectic with my "driving lesson."
Melody joked, "What could be more hectic than crashing a Funk spaceship into a restaurant, and almost spending time in jail for it"?
Holly then piped in, asking, "Remaand me again how y'all were able ta be let out ov that there jail cell."
Trollex immediately froze, not wanting to say anything about it since none of the Normal Trolls still didn't know how it really happened, as Aggie quickly covered, "Um...m-my parents paid for the, uh, bail. Yeah, they uh, helped bail me out."
Trollex sighed a quiet breath of relief as Demo commented, "Well, that was really nice of them at least," while Synth added, "Yeah, yo, and on the plus side, you didn't get punished for it either."
Aggie shook her head, saying, "I think almost being locked away in that jail cell was punishment enough. Anyways, aside from that, King Quincy and Queen Essence were also generous enough pay my Uncle Vic for the damages of the "accident" last night."
King Quincy spoke up, saying, "It was the least we could do after what had happened," while Essence added, "We wanted to show how sorry we were about last night."
Aggie then addressed, "So, back to the point I was making, the cost was a lot, and in order for us to be able to have more money in case of situations like that, we need to be able to find a way to earn it. So, I was thinking...everyone should have a job"!
Everyone in the condo blinked in confusion, as Cooper asked, "A job," while Val clarified, "As in, working"?
Aggie nodded, explaining, "Yeah. There's plenty of jobs you can get around here in Harmonious Land that you can do to help earn money and help each other out."
Melody then asked, "But what if some of us already have jobs"?
Aggie answered, "There are jobs you can get here in relation to the jobs you may or may not already have or have had back in the Troll Kingdom. Mel, there's a salon that's not too far from here that you can work at."
Hearing the idea made Melody squeal in excitement at the opportunity to get to share her hair-styling talents with the other MMTs around them.
Aggie then faced McJagger, saying, "And McJagger, there's a fire station nearby who's always looking for another first-responder to help the crew out."
McJagger became giddy, saying, "I'm always set to lend a helping paw on the force."
Aggie added, "And some of the jobs here can even pertain to a talent you have. Or a skill you may not know you have that you just need the right job to unlock. It's worth a chance, guys. What do you say"?
Trollex then stood up, saying, "I'm in"!
"Hot dang, y'all; ay'm in too," Holly added.
"Yes. Perhaps us looking for jobs to do around here could be quite fun," Dante replied.
"But how are we gonna know what job suits us best," Synth asked.
Aggie answered, "There are plenty of job opportunities all over Harmonious Land; you just have to know where to look. And if one doesn't work, try again, and then just..work it out"!
Trollex then piped in, saying, "Yeah, Aggie's right, guys. I mean, we have a great place to stay here in Harmonious Land, close friends we can count on if we need help, and we have each other. A lot of MMTs in Harmonious Land have been nice to us, well almost a lot of them, so now, I think it's time we started repaying their kindness and help out around Harmonious Land."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Work This Out from High School Musical 2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trollex then said, "All for one and one for all! It's time we show them what we can do! Who are we"?
"The Main Trolls," everyone shouted.
"Who are we," Trollex happily asked again.
"The Main Trolls," everyone replied again.
Synth: Bro! How do we find a job when most of us lack the expertise?
Barb: Plus, don't forget; some of us already have jobs, to say the least.
Prince D: But, if we work together, findings jobs can be real sweet.
Holly: Whel, as long as we don't wind up with stitches-
Cooper: We could soon be rollin' in riches!
Synth, Barb, Prince D, Holly, Cooper: Better than shooting star wishes!
Aggie: Yeah, guys, I know you can do it!
Trollex: We've got to work! Work! Work this out! It'll work out alright; the sun will shine! If we work, work, there'll be no doubt! We can make this trip more fun if we work this out!
Val: Dude, what are we getting ourselves into?
Poppy: We can have fun with this, Val! Think on the bright side!
Melody: Poppy's right, cousin! If we all get jobs...I could get to style the hair of every MMT in Harmonious Land!
McJagger: Yeah! I could help those hurt or in need!
Branch: Sounds great; let me lend a hand!
Buckaroo: Ay could see if Harmonious Land needs help solvin' mysteries!
Aggie: You can all find a job here; you just gotta look around and see!
Trollex: Yeah! We're a champion team, a well-oiled machine! And we've faced tougher problems than this!
"That is true," Delta commented.
Poppy: I know it's a grind, but I know we can find a way to have fun!
Branch: While we all find a job!
Trollex: We've got to work! Work! Work this out!
Trollex and Aggie: It'll work out alright; the sun will shine!
Trollex, Aggie, Poppy, Branch: Got to work, work! There'll be no doubt!
All (leaders), Aggie: If we all try together, we can work this out!
While everyone was beginning to dance, Riff started to grab some pots from the kitchen to play like drums for fun.
Trollex: Let's work it!
Riff used his drumsticks to tap the pots on beat, while everyone danced to the beat.
Cooper pulled out two pot lids and began to bang them like cymbals.
Dante spun two spoons in his hands and gently tapped the glass cups.
Meanwhile, Synth and some of the other Trolls were having fun dancing around together.
Even Sid couldn't help but dance to the music, finding it catchy.
Buckaroo pushed in a wooden box and hopped on top of it, starting to square dance in the style of break dancing on top of it.
Trollex: Tell me what you want!
Aggie: Tell me what you need!
Synth and Stereo: A little bit of sugar!
Holly and Gust: A lil' bit ov buttuurr!
DJ Suki and Guy Diamond: It's the perfect recipe!
All: Payday!
Dante: It'll taste so sweet!
All: Payday!
Low-Note Jones: Good enough to eat!
Delta: Gonna try out workin' 'round town!
Branch: Earning money together on our own!
Laguna: Try out a broad range of different careers!
Val: Learning 'bout the different jobs here!
Biggie: Improve our skills and have fun!
Melody: Workin' till the day is done!
Trollex and Aggie: Making memories together!
All: We've got it ma-a-ade!
Oh, oh, oh! We've got to work! Work! Work this out! It'll work out alright; the sun will shine! If we work, work, there'll be no doubt! We can make this trip more fun if we work this out!
Work this! Gotta work this! We can work this out!
"So, guys, what do you think? Can we work this out," Aggie asked.
Everyone looked at one another to see what they were each gonna say.
"Um, Aggie, what if some of us don't want to get a job at the moment," Legsley asked.
"No worries. We can do a vote so whoever wants to today can start looking. Whoever wants to look for a job today, raise your hair," Aggie announced.
McJagger, Essence, Poppy, Biggie, Branch, Holly, Gust, Smidge, Buckaroo, Delta, Clampers, Melody, Val, Riff, Barb (after a bit of convincing from the other two, who got convinced by Melody), Synth, Trollex, and Laguna all made their hair in the shape of a hand and raised them high.
"Got it. And for everyone else, it's perfectly if you don't want to start working yet," Aggie commented.
"Where should we start our search," Smidge asked.
"You can find jobs pretty much about everywhere here in Harmonious Land. We have Employment Agencies that you can go to where the MMTs there can help you find a job available based on your skills and talents, while other jobs can be found if you go exploring a bit," Aggie answered with a chuckle.
Aggie then pulled out some maps and gave them to the Trolls that raised their hair, saying, "Here; this will help guide you to the places you want to go, especially if you want to head somewhere you're not familiar with yet."
"I think it would also be wise if we split into teams, that way, it'll making hunting for jobs easier because we can all work together," Poppy advised.
"If it's ok with you, Trolls, I would like to go by myself. There's an Employment Agency in Cakezon City, and I'd like to see if it's possible to submit my resume to find any fitting careers," Essence spoke up.
"Note: I too would like to try and explore some job opportunities on my own," Laguna added.
"Sure thing, girls. How about the rest of you," Branch asked the others.
"I'm gonna go with Poppy," Biggie said while standing beside Poppy.
"Mind if Synth and I join you, Poppy, on the job search? We found on the map an Employment Agency in Smile-o Smile-o City that we could go to," Trollex suggested, showing the spot on the map he had.
"You think we can really find a job here, yo," Synth asked nervously.
"I'm sure we can, Synth, and sure thing, you both are more than happy to join," Poppu commented in reply.
Val and Barb then approached Poppy, Biggie, Trollex, and Synth, with Val saying, "We're in too, Popsqueak."
"Yeah. Although I still think it's completely pointless for some of us to find jobs since we're practically royalty, but eh, not like I got anything to do today. so, why not," Barb added.
"Hey, Branch. You can join me on my walk to the fire station; maybe we can find you a job there too," McJagger suggested to the Pop king.
"Ok, sure. Maybe I could be a janitor oir something and clean the equipment," Branch said while nodding in reply.
"Ayn' us 4 are gonna look 'round faw jobs togethuurr," Delta declared.
"We maheet faand ayy job we ken all do togethuurr as ayy team," Holly pointed out.
"Yeah, y'all! Maybe we maheet faand ayy detective agency aw somethin' so ay could put my detective skills ta good use," Buckaroo commented with a chuckle.
Gust chuckled while saying, "Whatevuurr we faand, we'll happily do eithuurr way."
Aggie then flew over to Melody, saying, "And I think I know the perfect place where you can go looking for a hairstyling job, Mel. You just stick with me, 'kay"?
"You got it, Aggs," Melody happily replied as the two best friends fist-bumped.
"Come on, y'all! Let's start looking," Holly declared as everyone who wanted to go look for a job soon exited the condo left so they could begin their job search.
"Guess that means we're here by ourselves for the day," Rhythm commented after everyone left.
"Well, I know what I'm gonna do: sleep," Sid commented before he lay on the couch and fell asleep.
"If any Troll needs me, I shall be up in my room practicing my violin and cello simultaneously," minuet proclaimed before she flew to the elevator to go to her room.
Dante started to fly off somewhere, which Trollzart noticed and asked, "Dante? Where are you heading to"?
Dante turned around and chuckled before saying, "Well, maestro, the truth is, I'm just heading to check on something I've been doing recently as a new "Hobby" as one per see."
"A hobby you say? What kind of hobby," Guy Diamond asked, sounding intruged.
"Ooh! Are you practicing playing the flute with your nose? Cause it's gonna take a while to get down pat," Cooper commented with a chuckle.
"Um, no, although that is something to consider. I'm actually doing something more "productive". Want to come see" Dante offered.
Trollzart, Cooper, and Guy Diamond nodded, with Prince D saying while he joined up with Cooper, "I'll join too; whatever this hobby is sounds pretty sweet."
"Oh, I'm sure you'll find what I'm doing to be just as sweet as "honey", the pun you will understand once i show you what I am up to," Dante joked, laughing in the end.
"Ooh! I want to see too, DC! Mind if I join ya," Stereo asked while getting up.
"Of course, Stereo. Follow me, everyone," Dante replied before he lead the little group to the elevator, where they rode it up to the garden top of the condo. Once they arrived, they stepped out of the elevator, where Dante led them to a spot where there was a white box set up.
"Tada! Here it is," Dante said while pointing to the white box.
The group looked at the box in confusion, with Guy Diamond asking, "You're...building furniture"?
Trollzart took a closer look, saying while intrigued, "Oh, I see; that is no ordinary "Furniture", Guy Diamond. Tis' a beehive."
"Wait, I thought beehives were yellow, rounder, and hung from trees," Cooper pointed out, feeling confused.
"Those are the natural hives you would find in the wild, but for this hive I have here, it's perfect for me to raise bees," Dante answered while pointing to one bee that flew out of the wooden hive and hovered around before flying back in.
"That's so *imiat*-" Stereo started to say excitedly before Dante quickly shushed her, saying, "Yes, it is marvelous, but we mustn't be too loud around the beehive, or else the bees will get startled and think we are a threat to them. So, try to keep it your voice down a little bit, okay"?
Stereo nodded happily and whispered, "*imitates airhorn noises*" while doing soft gestures to imitate she had airhorns, whispering afterward, "Better"?
Dante nodded in reply, while Cooper asked, "So, you're raising bees? Are they like your children"?
Prince D chuckled, saying, "No, when a Troll raises bees, they take care of them and keep them in a place, like in this hive, and the bees make honey for you."
"Precisely, and I've been doing this so within the past few days, and they have made a marvelous batch of honey that's pure deliciousness. Care to try some? I've put a little bit of it in these cups of tea I've prepared," Dante replied before pulling out a dish tray that had cups of tea on it.
"Ooh! I do like a fresh cup of tea," Guy Diamond commented as he, Trollzart, Cooper, Prince D, and Stereo all picked up a cup of tea and took a sip to try it.
Trollzart was impressed, saying, "My, my, it's wonderful."
"This is really good, man," Prince D commented.
"Yeah, this tea is super dope, yo, and the honey is delicious," Stereo proclaimed.
Cooper drank his tea before asking Dante, "So, why are you raising bees anyway"?
Dante answered while sipping on his own cup, "Well, I figured it would be a marvelous way for us to save money during our stay here, and after what happened yesterday regarding the, uh "Accident" involving the spaceship crashing into the kitchen, this is surely one of the best ways that we can save money, and still be able to have access to good honey without wasting a single penny."
Suddenly, Guy Diamond got an idea, saying, "You know, Dante, this honey is really good. I bet you could make a lot of money selling it."
"You think so," Dante asked with a curious eyebrow raised.
"I know so. Plus, this could also be like your own job: selling the honey your bees make and earning money out of it," Guy Diamond added.
"Guy's right; this could be a great job you could do, all from the comforts of home. And because this is natural honey, and locally made straight from the hive itself, MMTs at farmer markets down at Cabatwand would go wild wanting to buy this," Prince D mentioned.
"I would bet you could charge at least 20-30 Trollars a jar, and make possibly a good amount from your sales," Trollzart commented.
Dante gave it some thought, saying, "You're right, friends! If that is so, I shall sell some honey as my job! But, I can't do it alone; would you all like to help me"?
"Of course, Dante! We'd be super hyped to help ya out," Stereo commented.
"Wonderful! First things first, if we are gonna harvest honey, we better dress for that part," Dante pointed out.
A few minutes later, all 6 Trolls were dressed in beekeeper masks and suits, with Dante proclaiming, "Let's get some honey"!
Meanwhile, over at Smile-o Smile-o City, Poppy, Biggie, Trollex, Synth, Val, and Barb were waiting in the lounge area to be called up so they could meet with the receptionist.
Poppy was reading a magazine, Barb was taking a nap in the chair, Val was practicing air guitar and making air guitar noises while she did, Biggie was hugging his worm Mr. Dinkles, Synth was toying with one of his glowsticks, and Trollex was looking at the form that they had to fill out earlier.
"I really do hope we will be able to find a job, Poppy. You think that any of the MMTs would want to hire us," biggie asked the Pop queen.
"Of course, they would, Biggie. Besides, think of this as a way we can help give back to the community," Poppy replied.
"Honestly, it depends on the type of job they have for us. if it's too hard, i ain't doing it," Val commented.
"I'm gonna guess these jobs won't be too complicated, yo. We don't know a lot of Harmonious Land; all we know is how to sing, dance, hug, scrapbook, and have fun," Synth said while tossing his glowsticks up and down
Trollex replied, "And making music, but maybe the jobs they offer might link to that."
Then, the receptionist, who was a Magic Hip-Hop Troll, called out, "Alright, who's next"?
All 6 Normal Trolls stood up in unison, Val having to elbow Barb in the ribs to wake the Rock Queen up so she could stand up, with Poppy saying, "We are, sir; all 6 of us are together."
They approached the receptionist, and sat in front of him, while Trollex gave him the form they filled out.
After reviewing the form, the receptionist said, "Ok. So, all 6 of you are interested in looking for jobs around Harmonious Land"?
All 6 Normal Trolls nodded in unison.
"What jobs do you have to offer," Poppy asked.
The receptionist looked on the computer before saying, "Well, it depends on any skills you Trolls have. Can you write"?
"Oh yeah, we're really good writers," Biggie replied.
"Hmmm, now we're getting somewhere," the receptionist replied, asking, "and how good are you at typing"?
"Oh, real good, yo," Synth happily commented.
"Yeah, my brother and I happen to be DJs, so when it comes to typing, we are masters at it," Trollex replied while he and Synth both high-fived and wiggled their fingers.
Barb then shrugged, saying, "Eh, we're not as good as writers or types as they are."
"We're now destructive than we are productive," Val added on.
The receptionist sighed before he got an idea, snapping his fingers, saying, "Ok, let's try something else."
He then picked up a piece of paper, saying, "On this paper are a list of different jobs. Feel free to take a look at it, and see what might fit you all," while giving the paper to Poppy.
Poppy accepted it and showed the paper to everyone, who read it together.
"Hmmmm...look! Bookkeeper! That could be a job we could do," Biggie commented.
"Hey, yeah! I am a scrapbook keeper," Poppy added on, intrigued.
"Hold up. But the Magic Musical Trolls don't have or even use scrapbooks, so it'd be pointless, Popsqueak," Val pointed on.
"Oh yeah. Plus, remember what happened with your scrapbook drive," Barb added on, her question making the Pop queen blush in embarrassment.
"What about this one? An "Insurance Adjuster"? What's that," Synth asked.
"Better question: what's insurance," Trollex asked as well, making the six shrug and shake their heads in an unsure manner.
"What about Dental Technician? It could be cool working with dental equipment," Trollex suggested.
"Ew," Barb gagged, saying, "I'd rather get my wisdom teeth pulled than handle stuff that already's been in other Trolls' mouths."
"Plus, why use all that expensive stuff when you just need a mirror and some pliers," Val added, making Biggie, Poppy, and Synth shudder in fright while Trollex just rolled his eyes and groaned.
"Um, what about cantometer operator," Poppy suggested.
"Nah," the other 5 Trolls replied.
"Um, maybe a PBX operator," Biggie suggested.
"Nope," Barb and Val replied in unison while Synth asked, "Uh, yo, what is that"?
While Trollex told Synth the answer, Poppy then found a choice that seemed to best suit them: candy makers! She grinned saying, "Guys, i found it! We could be candy makers"!
"That's perfect! Pop Trolls LOVE to make candy," Biggie commented, with Mr. Dinkles chirping in agreement.
"Oh yeah! We also love making sugar rock candies back at Volcano Rock City, "Barb added on excitedly.
"Yep! Nothign beats the crunchy taste of hard rock sweets," Val replied back.
"And our favorite underwater candy back at the reef is gelatin-filled candy fish," Trollex mentioned while licking his lips.
"Oh yeah! we found our job, yo," Synth exclaimed.
With their minds made up, Poppy approached the register, saying, "We happen to all be really great candy makers, sir"!
The receptionist looked at the job availability on the list, saw there were openings available, and smiled, saying, "Perfect. You guys can start today at the Candy Factory."
"Yes," all six of them said in unison, high-fiving in success before Poppy turned to thank the receptionist.
"This is gonna be so a-meh-meh-meh-meh-mazing," Synth said while imitating he was blowing airhorns.
Meanwhile, Delta, Holly, Gust, and Buckaroo were taking a trot down the street.
"Keep your eyes out ever'one. There must be some jobs we ken do 'round here," Gust advised.
"Hope so, 'cause so far, we've been turnin' up empty ever'where we look," Holly commented.
"Nawht ta worry, y'all. We just got ta keep lookin'. Ay mean, ay'm sure there's ayy job we ken do with the skills we have so that way, we ken be able ta help earn money faw us togethuurr," Delta commented, adding, "All ay know is how ta be ayy mayor; that's the job ay know what ta do best."
"Ay'm ayy detective, ayn' solvin' mysteries is ayy job ay do best," Buckaroo commented.
"Ayn' ay'm ayy Fun Sheriff, but ay don't think Harmonious Land needs someone laake that 'round here," Gust pointed out.
"Ayn' all ay know is how ta style hair, how ta bake pies, ayn' how ta give big hugs. Think that maheet get me ayy job 'round here," Holly asked.
"Maybe," Delta replied with a chuckle and a shrug.
Suddenly, Clampers peeked her head out of her aunt's hair, saying, "Where else should we look, Aunt Delta"?
Delta was about to reply when she suddenly felt something in her mind come to light, looking off with a blank stare, while in her head, something began to play, and she sw it in her mind.
In the vision she was having, the scenery took place at a building near a police station in Las Veggie, and in a flash of light, there was a large explosion, where three shadows in the smoke ran off, cackling together.
When it ended, Delta was so surprised by what she saw that she stumbled back, shaking her head, trying to snap back into reality.
"Delta? Are y'all ok," Holly asked in concern.
"Y'all look laake ya just saw ayy ghost," Buckaroo pointed out.
Delta recovered from her shock before realizing that she must have witnessed...a psychic vision, just like the ones Aggie get, and she immediately started to question how on earth it was possible for her to do this, especially because no one in her family had this ability. So..how was she able to do this?
"Delta? Delta? Delta," Clampers shouted, snapping her aunt back into her thoughts.
Delta recovered and saw that her niece and her friends were looking for an answer for why she seemed out of it, and quickly made up an excuse, saying, "Sawrry. Ay was just...uh...thinkin' 'bout the perfect place we could go lookin' next: Las Veggie"!
"Las Veggie," Gust asked while looking for it on the map.
"Yeah, y'all! we could check out that place ayn' see if there maheet be the perfect job faw us there," Delta suggested.
Buckaroo thought about it before saying, "Whel, we've nevuurr been there befawe, but sure. Ay'm down faw it."
"Hot dang! Count me in too," Holly commented before shouting, "Woohoo"!
Seeing her friends agree to go there, Delta sighed a secret breath of relief, thinking if what she saw really was a psychic vision, this could be the chance to stop whoever those thieves were before they could make off with whatever it was that they stole.
With this in mind, saying, "Ok, y'all, let's go."
"Race y'all there," Buckaroo shouted before galloping off, leaving the other Normal Country Trolls in the dust.
"Nawht on my watch ya don't," Holly shouted with a smile while racing after Buckaroo.
"Fair race, you two! Yeehaw," Gust declared while chasing after both girls.
Delta chuckled, saying, "Wait faw us too, y'all," Delta shouted as she raced after her fellow Country Trolls, with Clampers leaping out and galloping beside her aunt.
The Country Trolls galloped as fast as they could, traveling for a while before they arrived at Las Veggie, which was a large city with a lot of bright lights that illuminated the entire city, and at the end of the road within the city, there was a massive desert.
A holler of cheers was heard as the Country Trolls were still racing towards the city.
"Woohoo! Ay'm gonna win, y'all," Holly declared as she took the lead.
"In y'all's dream," Buckaroo replied with a playful smirk, trying to catch up to Holly, with Gust watching from behind the girls, making sure they raced fairly.
Then, something caught Holly's eye as she skidded to a stop, saying while pointing to what she was looking at, "Hey, y'all! Look ovuurr there"!
"Huh," Buckaroo replied before she tried to skid to a stop but ended up crashing into Holly.
"Woah there," Gust hollered as he too tried to skid to a stop but crashed into both girls, causing the trio to fall to the ground. Holly was lying on the ground, with Gust lying next to her, and Buckaroo was on top of them both. When the three saw what had happened, they looked at one another and broke into laughter.
Delta and Clampers were also laughing when they approached the fallen trio and helped them up, with Delta saying, "Y'all ok"?
"We're just faane," Buckaroo answered while brushing the dust off her hat.
"Say, Holly, what did ya see," Clampers asked.
"Ovuurr there, y'all. Ay think that there maheet be ayy police stashun," holly replied while pointing at a nearby police station. The station was tall, and it had a giant gold sheriff's star on the top of the entrance that said "Las Veggie Police Station."
The other Country Trolls noticed it, with Delta saying, "Whel, ay'll be. It is ayy police stashun. Let's go check it out y'all," before everyone followed her to the station.
At the front of the police station, there was a Magic Rock Troll dressed in police chief gear, who was entering the station, looking at some important papers. And coming out of the station was someone they didn't expect to see: Silovay, who was set to go on patrol.
"Hey, look y'all: it's Silovay," Gust commented.
Silovay noticed the Normal Country Trolls approaching him, commenting, "Howdy, Mayor Delta, Holly, Gust, Buckaroo. What are y'all doin' round these parts"?
Holly replied, "We came lookin' faw jobs. Aggie told us that if we do some jobs, it could help us earn some money so we ken have it in the case ov an emergency."
"Ayn' may we ask what y'all are doin' here, Silovay? Aren't y'all supposed ta be in school," Buckaroo asked.
Silovay replied, "See, this is my part-taame job. Ay take ayy half day so ay could come work here ta help my family out."
"Awww, ain't that sweet," Gust commented.
"That's awful naace ov ya ta look out faw y'all's family," Clampers commented.
Then, Delta asked, "Say, Silovay, would y'all happen ta know ov any', ay don't know, recent robberies, aw craames that may have occurred 'round here"?
Silovay thought about it before saying, "None that ay know ov at the moment, Delta. Why do ya ask"?
Suddenly, there was a loud BOOM that startled everyone.
"W-W-What was that y'all," Holly asked worryingly.
Delta noticed something and turned her head to see, gasping while saying, "Y'all! Ovuurr there"!
Everyone saw that at a bank nearby, there was a loud explosion, with smoke emitting from the side of the bank building. In the shadows, three shadows were seen running in the smoke, cackling. It revealed to be a pair of Magic Country Trolls and a Magic Funk Trolls, carrying bags that were full of a shiny, valuable item: ice diamonds, a type of diamonds that were cold as ice and never ever melted.
"Stop! Thieves! Geronimo Slick, Giselle Slippery, and Benjamin Butterfingers has stolen my ice diamonds," a voice shouted as the three Trolls were making their getaway.
"Those MMTS are thieves," Buckaroo shouted, pointing out the thieves.
The thieves heard the detective's exclaims, with Benajmin saying, "Uh oh! Time to bounce," and grabbed a board, tying rope on it before giving the end of the rope to Geronimo for him and Giselle to pull together. Once Benjamin at on the board, while carrying the bag of ice diamonds, Geronimo and Giselle pulled the board carrying Benjamin, and the thieves were making their getaway.
"They're gettin' away," Gust shouted.
"Ay'll go alert th chief," Silovay shouted while running into the police station.
However, Delta was ready to step in and stop these criminals from getting away. So, with vigor and determination, she shouted, "Our job huntin's gonna have ta wait, y'all! We got thieves ta round up! Hyah," and led the charge as the Normal Country Trolls started to pursue the thieves in the distance.
In Cakezon City, Essence was currently looking over her resume while waiting for her turn to be called to talk to the receptionist.
While waiting, she felt her throat was a bit dry, so she got up and went to go get some water at a little water stand.
While filling up her cup, she was about to turn around and head back when it was filled enough when she bumped into someone, accidentally spilling some of her water on the MMT.
"Oh my Troll! I am very sorry," Essence stated while offering the MMt a napkin to wipe the water off of him.
Luckily, the MMT, who was a Magic Reggaeton Troll, didn't seem to mind, as he chuckled, saying, "No to worry, mija. A little aqua doesn't hurt any Troll. The name's Rudy," and offered his hand out to Essence.
"Queen Essence of the Normal Funk Trolls," Essence happily replied while shaking hands with Rudy.
Rudy then commented, "You know, I must say your speaking voice is muy excellente. Very beautiful. I happen to run a company that's not too far from here, and if you happen to be looking for work, I could help get you a job with a voice like yours."
Essence, surprised as she was intrigued, asked, "Really? you think so"?
"I know so, chica. You'd be an instant hit, I can feel it," Rudy replied.
He then gave her a card, saying, "Swing by over here after lunch; the address's on the back of this card," before taking his leave.
Essence looked at the card in interest, excited to see what kind of job Rudy has in store for her.
As this was going on, in another part of Harmonious Land, Aggie was leading Melody to the salon she wanted to show her.
"Where are we anyways, Aggie," Melody asked.
"This area of Harmonious Land is called High-ro, the more classy and fancy side of the place," Aggie replied.
"I can definitely feel the fancy vibes off of how beautiful these buildings look," Melody answered with a chuckle, looking around before asking, "So, where's this salon you kept mentioning to me"?
Aggie was also looking around, "It's right around here some- oh, there it is! Come on," and grabbed Melody by the wrist, dragging the Pop/Rock Troll with her as she flew off in a certain direction.
Once they arrived, Aggie announced, "Here we are! What do you think"?
The salon they were in front of was a giant purple building with a large white oval sign, and on the sign, written in golden, cursive letters, was the title "Stylish Strands," and there was also a cutout of sterling silver scissors that was placed on the right of the letters on the sign.
To Melody, seeing the glorious salon was so enchanting, she swore she could hear angels singing as she looked up in awe.
Aggie noticed Melody's surprised/awe reaction while also noticing that behind them, a group of Magic Classical Trolls were harmonizing on cue of the "Angel" moment, and the inquisitive look Aggie gave them made the Magic Classical Trolls stop and smile sheepishly before they flew away.
Aggie then looked at Melody, who still had the stunned jaw-dropped look on her face, and giggled, using her Classical hand to close her best friend's jaw, before saying, "What do you think"?
"I think I just died and went to heaven," Melody squeaked out, squealing in excitement.
"Why don't you take a look inside," Aggie offered, using her levitation magic to open the door, letting Melody be able to enter the salon.
Inside, the eager Pop/Rock Troll looked around in awe, amazed by the entire scenery around her.
Everywhere inside, the salon looked like heaven! There were lovely velvet felt salon chairs, with matching colored capes on the current fellow customers, and their reflections could be seen from the shiny mirrors by each stand. Not only that but there were also lovely pearl-colored sinks, matching steam dryers, and shelves stocked with so many different brands of shampoos, conditioners, and hair products that it almost was too hard to keep track. On the ceiling was a beautiful golden chandelier that illuminated the entire salon.
"It's even better on the inside! Wow, this place is so amazing," Melody exclaimed.
"Quite the fan, aren't you," a new voice commented.
Melody seemed to recognize that voice and couldn't help but be stunned in the excited sense, saying, "Is that who I think it is"?!
She turned around and noticed a female Magic Pop Troll looking at her. The Magic Pop Troll had pink skin, blue sapphire eyes, hot pink hair that was up in a bun and held with a golden star clip, who wore a yellow shirt brown pants, red high heel shoes, and wore a blue apron with a nametag that had her name on it, glistening at the top left, and in the right top pocket, a pair of scissors, a purple comb, and a red pen was resting inside.
Melody looked at the Magic Pop Troll in awe, with Aggie saying as she flew by the Magic Pop Troll, Melody said, "Mel, let me introduce you to Melissa Mayweather. She's one of Harmonious Land's top hair stylists and is also the owner of Stylish Strands."
Melissa smiled, saying, "Nice to meet you; you must be Melody Song."
Melody was surprised to see Melissa already aware of who she was, stammering, "Y-Yes, I am. H-How did you know my name"?
"Aggie told me a lot about you when she popped in to visit last week," Melissa replied.
Aggie chuckled, saying, "While I was fetching some art supplies for my Valentine's Day card, I was in High-ro, and figured I'd pop in and mention you to Melissa in case you wanted to work here."
Melody shook hands with Melissa Mayweather, saying, "Ms. Mayweather, let me just say how much of a huge fan I am of your work! I've read all about you in magazines, and I've been watching your tutorial videos on Funtube! You're a superstar"!
"Aw, that's so sweet, and I do think the term "superstar" might be exaggerating things just a little. I just have the love and passion for styling hair as the next Troll," Melissa replied.
"I know! It's like-," Melody exclaimed excitedly.
"Once you pick up the scissors, you just do it, no questions asked," Both Trolls ended up saying in unison.
Melissa chuckled before saying, "So, if you're up to working here, what certain qualities do you have that would make you a great employee."
Melody thought about it before saying, "Well, I'm open to any availability you need me for. you name the time, I will be there, no matter what. And, if you check out my portfolio," before pulling out a folder, saying, "You can check out some of my work so far."
Melissa looked at the photos inside the folder while Melody added, "I currently work at the salon in Trollstopia, though I am merely a junior hairdresser. But my dream is to one day become a professional, just like my mentor Maddy, and just like you, and maybe even get to open my own salon."
Melissa seemed really impressed with the photos, asking, "And these are all hairstyles you have done"?
"Yes, ma'am. I put my training and mix it in with my own raw abilities so I add sort of like a unique to it," Melody replied.
Melissa then gave Melody back her portfolio before saying, "You definitely seem qualified, but I have just one more question to ask you before I can start thinking about hiring you"?
"Of course. Ask me anything...except if I'm allergic to peanuts because I'm not," Melody answered, adding the last part as a joke, making the three girls snicker.
Melissa replied, "Actually, I had another question in mind," and turned around to grab something, coming back while holding something in her arms, saying, "Do you like red"?
Melody replied, "Yeah, it's my favorite color! Why"?
Melissa then unfurled what she was holding: a red apron, saying, "Because you're hired"!
Melody started to cheer excitedly, with Aggie joining her in the cheering, as the rainbow-colored MMT said while patting Melody on the back, "I'm so proud of you, Mel"!
Melody accepted the apron and shook Melissa's hand again, saying, "Thank you for so much for this opportunity, Melissa! I promise you I won't let you down"!
Melissa smiled, saying, "I can tell you'll put in all the hard work. Can you start right away"?
Melody tied the apron on, saying with excitement, "I can start right now if you want"!
Meanwhile, Branch and McJagger were walking over to the fire station.
"Are you sure I really need portfolio for this," Branch asked the Funk Troll while looking at the hand-made portfolio McJagger helped him make.
"Of course, Branch. I've learned that when it comes to wanting to get hired in the establishment of emergency rescue agencies, you need to have a good portfolio organized. Seeing your experience and your assets and references will help present yourself as a reliable member that could provide good use to a team," McJagger explained.
Soon, they arrived to the fire station, walking inside.
"You think anyone's inside at the moment," Branch asked as they walked inside.
Suddenly, there was a WHOOSH and white smoke that overcame both boys, making them shout while trying to block the "smoke" from getting into their eyes.
The "smoke" actually ended up being the mist from a fire extinguisher that was currently expelling thanks to a firefighter, who was testing it out, unaware he was using it on both Normal Trolls by accident.
The firefighter was a male Magic Funk Troll, who looked up and saw what was going on, and turned off the fire extinguisher, saying, "Oops! Sorry, you two! Are you both ok"?
Both Branch and McJagger were covered in white dust as residue from the fire extinguisher, and when they oepend their eyes, they both gave the Magic funk Troll nods.
"Sorry about that. this fella's been plugged recently and I've been trying to get it to work properly, and I guess it worked," the Magic Funk Troll said, sheepishly smiling, before saying, "But I can get you both cleaned up if you want."
"It's ok," Branch said, brushing the residue off from him, adding, "We can just diust ourselves off."
"McJagger shook the residue off of himself before asking the MMT, "Are you the firefighter chief"?
"Nope, I'm just part of the crew. Name's Mack," the Magic Funk Troll introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you, Mack. I'm Branch," Branch said while shaking hands with Mack.
"And I'm McJagger," McJagger added.
"What are you two Normal Trolls doing around here anyway," Mack then asked.
"Well, we actually came to see if we could get jobs here," Branch replied, showing his portfolio.
"Oh, cool! We could always use an extra hand around the station, but it's not me you want to show that to. Let me show you, boys, to the break room. Our chief is in there right now, along with the rest of the crew," Mack commented as he showed McJagger and Branch the way to the break room.
Inside the break room, there were two tables, vending machines for snacks and drinks, and a little kitchen area with a fridge, microwave, cabinets, and a coffee maker.
At the moment, a male Magic K-Pop Troll and a male Magic Rock Troll were currently arm wrestling each other, with the Magic K-Pop Troll winning, as he said, "Oh yeah! Guess you must be getting soft, Demy. Or should I say, soft-rock"?
"Ha! In your dreams, Chade! I was just not feeling it. Best of seven, come on," Demy said, ushering another challenge to Chade.
"At ease, you two. We don't need you both to go breaking another table..again," a male Magic Disco Troll wearing a chief's firefighter helmet on his head said before sipping on a cup of coffee.
Then, they saw the door open and were greeted by the sight of Mack and two Normal Trolls entering the room, with Mack saying, "Guys, let me introduce you to Branch and McJagger, who want to join our crew."
The Magic Disco troll got up and went to greet Branch and McJagger, saying, "So, you boys want to join the fire crew, huh? Well first, let me introduce myself: I'm Captain Folly Bash. Over there is our fellow firefighter Chade, and our paramedic: Demy," while Demy and Chade waved hello.
"An honor to meet you and your crew, Captain," McJagger said while giving a salute to the fire captain.
Folly chuckled, saying, "At ease, soldier; I ain't a military captain."
"Yes, but it's customary for me to show respect to a fellow worker in the aid of helping those in need," McJagger replied.
Folly Bash then said, "In any case, if you both want to join our crew, let me see your portfolios."
Branch and McJagger both gave the fire captain their portfolios and watched as he took a look at them.
After looking at them for a while, he gave each Troll their portfolios back, saying, "I'm quite impressed. King Branch, I think you'd be a perfect fit as part of our firefighter crew."
Branch was surprised, but at the same time, amazed that he was gonna get to be a firefighter, asking, "you really think so"?
"I know so. Chade and Mack will run you through some basic training, and you should be good to go starting today, if you can," Folly answered.
"Yeah, I definitely can. Anything to help the crew," Branch replied.
Folly then faced McJagger, saying, "And as for you, I'm impressed with your experience. how long have you been a paramedic for"?
"6 years, 9 months, 27 weeks, 5 days, 3 hours, 57 minutes and 33 seconds, sir," McJagger replied, adding, "I could show you my I.D. and my medical license if needed."
"No need, because you're hired too. We definitely need a lot of help on the medical team," Folly stated.
"You can count on me sir," McJagger replied with a smile.
"Great. Chade, Mack, bring these two over to where the uniforms are and help them get suited up with their new gear," Folly instructed both boys.
"Yes, sir," Chade and Mack replied as they led Branch and McJagger to a new area of the fire station to get them fitted in their new uniforms.
While both boys were getting settled into their new positions at the fire station, Laguna found a job at a place the Employment Agency she went to offered her: the 2-4-0 Emergency Dispatch Center.
Laguna looked up at the building and entered the doors, looking around at what the place looked like. There were offices where fellow workers were inside, accepting emergency calls that came in from those who dialed 2-4-0 and typing up something on the computer. There were printers and copy machines where the workers made copies of the reports they wrote or typed up together.
"Hey there, ma'am. What brings y'all here," a new voice asked.
Laguna turned her head and saw a male Magic Country Troll looking at her, replying, "Oh, hello there. I, uh, heard that your boss is looking for new available call reciprocates, and I came to see if it was possible for me to apply."
A female Magic Techno Troll with bright blue skin, purple curly hair, pink eyes, who wore a light yellow dress with a silver sparkly blazer on top then came up to Laguna, saying, "Yep! You're certainly in the right place. I'm Katy, nice to meet you, and you'll want to speak to our boss in regards to getting applied here."
"Understood. Where may I find your boss," Laguna asked curiously.
"Just go straight here, make a right, and then walk down until you find the main office door, it's labeled, and it should be open at this time," Katy replied.
Laguna followed the directions Katy gave her as she began to walk deeper into the building, passing the other offices before she found the main office.
Laguna walked over to the main office door and saw the door was open, meaning she was allowed to come in. Before she did, she knocked on the door, saying, "Pardon me, sir."
Behind a wooden desk was a large black office chair that spun around and revealed the boss, who was a male Magic Rock Troll with black hair styled in a wave, blue eyes, and was wearing a green polo shirt, dark green tie, a dark blue blazer over his shirt, brown pants, and black dress shoes.
The Magic Rock Troll saw Laguna and curiously asked, "Hello. May I help you"?
Laguna nodded, saying, "Yes. I'm here to see if it's possible I could apply for a job here."
Hearing this, the Magic Rock Troll smiled, saying, "Ah, I see. Feel free to take a seat, and we can discuss this."
Laguna entered the office and sat in the chair in front of the Magic Rock Troll's desk.
Once seated, the Magic Rock Troll stated, "So, if you want to work here, there are a few things I will need to ask you about. First off, are you capable of answering calls and typing on a computer"?
"Yes. I happen to have my own cell phone and have been able to answer calls with ease, so doing so with the standard phone your business has shouldn't be too difficult to work. And I can type just as efficiently as I can write," Laguna replied, feeling confident.
"How about with communication? We have to be just as quick to alert the medical and emergency rescue facilities around here about emergency calls that we receive as we are in getting them ourselves," the Magic Rock Troll asked.
"I communicate very well, and can be as quick as you need me to be," Laguna replied.
"Excellent. And one last question: do you prefer coffee or cappuccinos," the Magic Rock Troll asked, signaling an employee that was standing by the door to come over.
Laguna, curious as she was confused, replied, "Um, just a cappuccino, please."
"And I'll get a coffee, black, no cream or sugar," the Magic Rock Troll said as the employee went to get their drinks before saying, "Apologies, I usually order coffee at thi time. The real last question is: can you ensure us full dedication and commitment if you wish to work here"?
"Yes, sir. You tell me when I am needed, I will be here on time and working to the utmost max of my abilities as much as you need me to," Laguna replied.
The Magic Rock Troll replied, "Very well then. Welcome to the team, Ms..uh...,"
"Laguna Tidepool, sir," Laguna answered, introducing herself.
"Ah, then. Welcome, Laguna. Katy will show you to your office, and you can get started right away. And you will need this as well," before giving Laguna a headset for her to wear.
Laguna accepted the headset, saying, "Thank you very much," before she got up and left the office.
As for Smidge and Riff, they ended up finding a job at a particularly busy place: the international airport at Trollnila.
They were both put in charge of gathering up all the check-in luggage and put them in the cart.
Smidge was having some fun doing this, while Riff was feeling rather grumpy about this, saying, "I still don't get why we should be doing this. I already have a job as Barb's right-hand Troll, so why do we need to get jobs"?
"Because, Riff, that way, we could save enough money in the case of an emergency, or when we need to buy something important, like food," Smidge mentioned.
"I guess that's true," Riff commented as he placed luggage into the cart.
Riff then commented, "You know, I will say this: I did not expect us to come across an airport here in Harmonious Land."
"I know. Check out the planes," Smidge said while pointing to some of the planes near the runway.
"How do you think they were even able to get planes under here? Don't they fly in the air or something," Riff asked.
"Well, the distance between the ground and the surface is really high, so that gives enough height leverage for the planes to go as high as they want to," Smidge answered before noticing their cart was running out of room, making her say, "Looks like there's no more room. We're gonna have to wait for a new cart."
"We don't need to wait for a new cart; let me," Riff said before starting to pile the rest of the luggage onto the cart.
"Riff, easy! You have to handle these with care! There could be fragile things in these carts that could break if you aren't careful," Smidge said worryingly, trying to get Riff to handle the bags with more care.
Soon, in a piled-up mess, all of the bags seemed to fit inside the cart, except for one last luggage bit: a bag of golf clubs.
Riff, however, thought maybe he could fit the golf clubs in the driver's seat, saying, "I'll take them," and picked up the bag of golf clubs, placing it on the driver's seat.
"Oh my guh," Smidge said while facepalming.
"See? Everythin fits perf-," riff started to say, but then. he saw that when the golf club bag leaned forward, one of the clubs slid out and hit the accelerator pedal, making Riff quickly drive off with the bag of luggage.
"Riff! Wait for me," Smidge shouted while running after Riff and the runaway cart.
Riff shouted as he tried to drive the cart as best he could to avoid crashing it, hitting a few small luggage carts and knocking into a few people by accident.
Finally, getting a better handle of it, Riff slammed his foot on the brakes and was able to get the cart to stop, luckily, not spilling any of the luggage while doing so.
His "Heroic" act caught attention to a crowd of MMTs currently at the airport, who cheered for him.
Riff saw the cheering crowd and grinned, saying, "Yeah"!
But, what Riff didn't see was that there was a plane turbine coming close behind him, and when it was close enough, it sucked in some of the bags, including the golf clubs, and got Riff sucked inside as well.
The crowd suddenly gasped in shock/horror that Riff got sucked in.
"Oh my guh! Riff," Smidhge shouted in concern for her friend.
"Some Troll call 2-4-0," someone in the audience shouted as a Magic Rock Troll dialed 2-4-0.
At the 2-4-0 dispatch center, Laguna was currently going through her training when she saw she was getting a call. Pressing a button on her headset, she picked up the call, saying, "2-4-0, what's your emergency"?
"We got a problem at the airport! Some Normal Troll got sucked into the plane turbines along with some other luggage! We need a rescue squad out here to get him out," the Magic Rock Troll on the other line said on the phone.
Laguna, inside, was panicking because when the MMT said one of the "Normal Trolls" got sucked into a plane turbine, she was worried that one of her friends had gotten hurt badly.
Keeping calm, Laguna answered, "Not to worry, sir, we will send an emergency dispatch unit right away to help resolve the crisis," while typing on the computer, sending a message to the fire station.
At the fire station, Branch and McJagger were getting used to their new uniforms.
McJagger's Harmonious Land paramedic uniform, compared to his usual one, consisted of a black polo shirt and matching shorts (designed for his round body and long legs), an official badge with his name on it, and a white cap with a red cross sign on his head. He had his medical bag swung onto his back and had taken his bangles off.
"This is so cool," McJagger said while checking out his new uniform.
Branch was wearing the standard black-and-gold patterned firefighter gear, with a black firefighter helmet on his head and stomping boots on his feet.
"Yeah, although the jacket is kind of heavy," Branch commented while getting used to the feeling of the jacket.
"You'll get used to it overtime," Mack commented.
"Plus, the extra weight acts as fire protection for us so we don't get burned when fighting fires," Chade advised.
"How long have your medical bag with you, McJ," Demy asked.
Before McJagger could ask, everyone saw the siren on top of the wall flash and the horns blaring, making Branch say, "Looks like there's an emergency"!
"Guess you guys are about to get your first real-life experience on the crew today," Chade commented.
"Let's roll," Mack declared as they all quickly got everything they needed before they went over to the garage, where the giant firetruck was.
Folly was already in the driver's seat of the firetruck before everyone quickly hopped inside, closing the doors. With the entire crew safe inside, the garage doors opened, and folly began to drive the firetruck, making its sirens flash and its horn blare while they were off to go save the day.
In a matter of minutes, the crew soon arrived at the airport, with Folly Bash putting the firetruck in park before he and the rest of the crew got out, ready to act on if needed.
"What's our status here with what we have," Folly asked the airport manager, who was a Magic Techno Troll.
"Well, sir, one of the new bag handlers got sucked into one of the plane turbines after stopping a cart from wheeling out of control, and well, these things tend to spin really fast and-," the manager explained.
"Not to worry. Branch, Mack, get the tools. Chade, lay out the tarmac to put the parts on. Demy, McJagger, on stand by if needed. I have a feeling things are gonna be gruesome," Folly ordered.
Branch and Mack went to the truck and got the tools they needed to unscrew the turbines and blades.
"Branch, get on the ladder. I'll hoidy you up," Mack said as he went to activate the firetruck ladder.
"Got it," Branch answered while grabbing the tools and climbing up onto the ladder.
In position, Mack then made the ladder rise up so Branch can get higher easily so he could unscrew the screws. Just before he could though, he heard a meek groan, and saw a leg move. He gasped, saying, "Riff, are you ok"?!
Riff groaned and gave a weak "Thumbs up" to show he was semi-ok.
The manager was stunned, saying, "That's impossible"!
Folly chuckled, saying, "Wow, to think I've seen it all. Branch, let's get this turbine and the blades unscrewed and get this guy out as safely as we can."
"Yes, sir," Branch said before using the power screwdriver to unscrew the screws and take the turbine apart piece by piece.
Once it was taken apart, Branch carefully helped to pull Riff out, and climbed down as cautiously as he could, making it back down.
Demy and McJagger placed Riff onto a stretcher, and Demy asked Riff while flashing a flashlight on him, "Sir, are you ok"?
Riff hissed a bit from the bright light almost blinding him but gave a weak nod while he groaned in pain.
McJagger examined him, saying, "He seems to be stable, no broken bones or sprains. Other than maybe some ointment for a few of these injuries, he'll be ok."
"Let's get him onto the truck so we can take him to the hospital, just in case," Demy advised.
While Demy and McJagger made sure Riff was secured on the stretcher before they went to help bring him to the hospital, Chade and Mack helped Branch get out what had caused the blades to stop spinning: the bag of golf clubs, and worked together to put the plane turbine back together.
"Good job, guys. All systems are good to go," Folly commented.
Back at the condo, Dante, Trollzart, Cooper, Prince D, Stereo, and Guy Diamond were returning after selling some of the honey from Dante's beehive at the farmer's market in Cabatwand.
"I can't believe we made that much in only one hour," Prince D said in excitement while pointing to the wagon they were carrying that was filled with almost overflowing bags of cash.
"I can't believe how much of a hit we were at the farmer's market," Guy Diamond added.
"All those MMTs really loved our honey," Cooper commented happily.
"Yes, I say that this has definitely been a rousing success," Dante proclaimed happily.
"Yo! Maybe we should get some more to sell," Stereo suggested.
"True, but bees can only make so much within a limited amount of time. So, unless we have a way we could maybe speed up their honey-making process, I'm afraid we may not get as much as we did earlier," Trollzart advised.
Suddenly, Dante had a great idea, saying, "Maybe we can! I might have a solution. Everyone, meet me up at the garden top in two minutes"!
Dante flew off to the elevator to head to his room to grab something while the rest of the group looked at one another in confusion.
Then, to their surprise, they saw Branch, Smidge, and McJagger enter the condo, pushing Riff, who had his entire body covered in plaster cast, in a wheelchair.
"Woah, man! What happened to you, Riff," Prince D asked, while everyone else was worried for Riff
Smidge answered, "Riff got sucked into an air turbine."
"Thank Troll for that bag of golf clubs that got caught in the blades. Otherwise, it would've been far worse," Branch commented.
"Now, all he just needs is to rest for a bit and he will be better soon," McJagger pointed out.
Riff weakly nodded in reply, saying, "Working hurts."
While Branch, Smidge, and McJagger went to bring Riff over to the couch, Trollzart, Guy Diamond, Stereo, Cooper, and Prince D went up to the elevator and rode it up to the garden top again.
There, they met up with Dante, who was by the beehive, as Dante saw that his friends had made it, saying, "Ah, perfect timing! Ok, so, you know how you suggested, maestro, that the only way the bees could make enough honey for us to sell a lot more is if they "speed up the process" as you've dubbed it"?
"Yes, that is what I said," Trollzart replied.
"In that case, I brought this to help," before pulling out a small bottle full of a green potion liquid.
"Ooh," everyone said in awe.
"What is that, DC," Stereo asked.
"This is an energy potion. I bought it from the potion shop a few days ago. I figured that maybe, if we can give the bees a bit of this potion, they should feel so re-energized, that they'll make us lots of honey in no time."
"Nice idea, Dante. But how much should we give them," Guy Diamond asked.
Dante read the label on the bottle while saying, "Hmmm, it says here that this dose is enough to energize a Country Troll, or Magic Country Troll. So, how many bees would equal that"?
"Uh," everyone said in confusion.
"I'm not good at that kind of math," Stereo commented.
"Maybe 20," Prince D guessed.
"Why not just dump the whole thing in? Maybe the whole hive equals a Country Troll," Cooper guessed.
"Yes, it appears that might be the best option for now," Dante said while pouring the energy potion into the hive, adding once it was emptied, "And now, we wait."
"Yeah! After all, what could go wrong from this," Guy Diamond commented, feeling confident that it will work.
"Get back here, ya thievin' vermints," Buckaroo shouted as the Country Trolls kept pursuing the thieves.
"Let's loose 'em," Geronimo shouted as he and Giselle, dragging Benjamin behind them, both ran into a cactus patch, weaving their way around the cactuses as a way to try and shake them off.
But that didn't work, as Delta said to Clampers, "Clampuurrs, go get 'em"!
Clampers started to open and close her mouth as fast as a motor while she gnawed through the feathered-filled quilt cactuses.
"Ah! That Troll is not right in the head," Benjamin shouted when he saw what Clampers was doing.
"Cool y'all's jet! We ken still out run 'em! Besaades, they ken't catch up ta us," Giselle commented.
"Oh yes we ken," Gust shouted as the Magic Country Trolls gasped when they saw Delta, Holly, Gust, and Buckaroo coming closer to them.
"Ready, Bucky," Holly shouted, smiling at Buckaroo.
"Ya know it, Holls! Let's do it," Buckaroo replied, tipping their hat.
Holly pulled out her lasso and swung it high in the air, shouting, "Woohoo"!
"Yeehaw," declared Buckaroo, who swung both their front braids around like lassos.
Simultaneously, they both fired off their lassos, catching Benjamin by his legs and tying them up.
"Hey! My legs are tied," Benjamin shouted while trying to get his legs free.
Delta then galloped forward, leading the charge, feeling the excitement of doing something like this again, as she reached her arm out, ready to grab Benjamin.
Geronimo saw that they were close to being caught, and on top of that, they were about to approach a cliff.
"What are we gonna do, Geronimo," Giselle asked all panicked.
Realizing that he had to do something, Geronimo quickly caught the board Benjamin was riding and gave the Magic Funk Troll a hat tilt.
"Huh," Benjamin was confused but also shocked because he knew what that hat tilt meant.
"Sawry, but this is what's best faw business," Geronimo stated, stomping his hoof on the ground, making an Earth structure rise and cutting the rope while also throwing Benjamin back to the Country Trolls.
Delta ducked down to avoid Benjamin hitting her while Gust quickly caught the Magic Funk Troll and Holly tied him up with rope.
Meanwhile, Geronimo and Giselle were both tossed up into the air with the diamonds and fell down into the river below, diving in and making their escape.
Delta was admittedly frustrated that the two Magic Country Trolls had gotten away with the diamonds, and Clampers saw how upset her aunt looked, saying, "Ay know, we almost had 'em"!
"Nawht ta worry, Clampuurrs. These kaands ov things just happen," Delta replied with a smile, as she saw Clampers climb back up into her hair.
"Hey, boss! We may nawht have gotten Geronimo Slick ayn' Giselle Slippery, but at least we got him," Buckaroo commented while pointing to Benjamin Butterfingers, who fought his tied up restraints.
"Let me go! I plead the fifth," Benjamin shouted.
"Y'all are gonna be put away faw ayy long taame, fella," Gust commented at Benjamin.
"Let's get back ta the stashun," Delta commented while picking up Benjamin, carrying him on her back, as the Country Trolls galloped back to the Las Veggie Police station.
At the station, Colson and Silovay were really surprised to see how the Normal Country Trolls had caught Benjamin but were relieved either way.
Colson handcuffed Benjamin after untying him from the ropes and went to drag him away to a cell.
Silovay stayed behind, saying, "Wow, y'all, that was impressive! Y'all were able ta catch one ov the most wanted criminals 'round here"!
"Whel, when it comes ta chasin' criminals, this ain't our first rodeo," Delta replied.
"Yeah, though ay wish we could've gotten Geronimo ayn' Giselle too," Holly mentioned.
"But we'll get 'em next taame, ayn' we'll make sure they're bahaand bars," Gust commented.
"Plus, it was fun gettin' ta chase down criminals again, laake catchin' the suspect in ayy mystery," Buckaroo added on.
Silovay then got a great idea, saying, "Say, y'all were lookin' fw work, raheet? Why don't y'all join the police team? We ken use extra hands ta help with patrols ayn' catching criminals on the run."
"Us? Cops," Holly asked curiously.
"Yeah, y'all'd be perfect faw it. Ya both are ayy sheriff ayn' ayy detective, so y'all know ayy lot 'bout holdin' up the law," Silovay pointed out to Buckaroo and Gust.
"That is true," Gust said while tipping his hat.
"We laake upholdin' the law," Buckaroo mentioned.
"Ayn' y'all are ayy mayor, so when it comes ta makin' sure naw pesky vermints go breakin' laws, it's ya," Silovay commented to Delta.
"Y'all make ayy good point there," Delta replied.
"Plus, y'all ken run just as fast as vehicles, so y'all nevuurr have ta worry 'bout transport. so, what do y'all say," Silovay asked.
The Normal Country Trolls looked at one another before they looked at Delta to see what she would say.
Delta thought about it before smiling, saying, "Y'all got yourselves 4 new cops"!
Holly, Gust, and Buckaroo cheered with the latter tossing their hats up while they cheered.
Silovay smiled, saying, "Great ta hear! Ayn' here y'all go: 4 shaany cop badges," while giving them cop badges, which the Normal Country Trolls immediately placed on.
"Let me get the papuurrs faw ya," Silovay mentioned while he went to get the signup papers, leaving the Normal Country Trolls all alone.
"Hot dang, y'all! We're officially cops," Holly said while showing off her badge.
"This is gonna be lots of fun," Gust declared.
"Ay'm just itchin' ta get my hooves goin' 'gain ta chasing mawe suspects down," Buckaroo added.
"Well, y'all, let's do these here badges proudly ayn' be the bets cops 'round," Delta commented, making everyone cheer simultaneously.
Suddenly, Buckaroo had a thought, saying, "Hold on, y'all. Boss, how did y'all even know there was gonna be ayy robbery in the first place"?
Delta then realized that the whole reason they were here was because of her vision about the robbery in Las Veggie, and as much as she still wanted ta keep it a secret, she couldn't lie to the other Country Trolls.
Especially when Gust added, "Yeah. When y'all asked silovay if there were an' robberies 'round, one then suddenly just happened."
"It's laake y'all seemed ta know it was gonna happen," Holly stated.
Clampers even peeked her head out, asking, "Yeah, laake clockwork"!
Delta sighed, saying, "Whel, that's 'cause...ay did know."
"How could y'all possibly know," Holly asked curiously.
Delta answered, "'Cause...ay...saw it comin'."
"Saw it? Laake...ya had ayy hunch," Gust asked.
Suddenly, Buckaroo thought of something, saying, "Aw ayy visshun! That's how y'all knew about the robbery happenin' here, didn't ya"?
Delta bit her lip and nodded in reply, making the rest of the Normal Country Trolls gasp in surprise.
Back in Cakezon City, Essence was heading to the place Rudy had mentioned to her upon their meeting at the Employment Agency.
"Hmmmmmm, it is says the place should be right...here," Essence commented to herself, before she saw she had arrived, walking inside the building.
Luckily, Rudy was there to greet her, saying, "Senorita! Welcome! I am very happy you chose to jump at the opportunity."
"Thank you very much again for the offer, i am very excited to work with you," Essence replied while asking, "So, what kind of business is this anyway"?
"I'll show you. Follow me," Rudy said while he led Essence into an office where there were a bunch of female MMTs in their office cubicles, taking calls.
It seemed normal at first, but then, Essence noticed something rather...off.
She overheard a female Magic Classical Troll say, "Well, if you love to harmonize, perhaps maybe I can woo you with a little melody of my own"?
Essence seemed to catch the tone of how she said it and realized...she was flirting with someone on the phone. All the employees were...which meant...this was some sort of phone dating company!
"Wait a minute..this is a phone dating operation," Essence pointed out.
"We prefer to call it "Telephone Date Night Offers" but yeah, it is," Rudy replied.
"Rudy, I can't do something like this; I'm married. It'd be like I'm cheating on my husband if I do this," Essence told the Magic Reggaeton Troll.
"Don't worry, you won't. Dating on the phone is not like dating in real life, so you wouldn't be cheating on anyone. Plus, we pay $50 Trollars a day for our employees."
Essence wanted to protest again, but hearing how much the salary was, that was enough for her to think that even though this seemed like a bad idea, with this job, she could help make a lot of money for her friends and family.
So, with a heavy heart (out of concern), she said, "Well, so long as this isn't gonna be too troubling for anyone...I guess I'll...give it a try."
"Excellente! Let me show you to your cubicle," Rudy replied while leading Essence to her cubicle.
Once inside, Rudy gave her a few rundown tips on what to do, and once he had given her the lecture, he left her alone to do her owkr, reminding her, "Ok, remember; no mentioning phones or the internet. Other than that, good luck."
After Rudy was gone, Essence nervously adjusted herself in her chair so she could get comfortable, before she saw she was getting her first phone call.
"Oh Troll," Essence whispered nervously, saying, "Ok, I can do this. I can do this."
She pressed the button on the phone dial to accept the call, clearing her throat so she could speak in a different accent so that way, she didn't sound recognizable, "H-Hello."
"Hi there. You like to play music," a male voice replied on the other end.
Essence answered, "Yes, I do. What kind of music do you play"?
"Rock is my specialty, but as for a lovely sounding angel as yourself, perhaps i can enchant you with some...Classical guitar," the voice replied.
Essence suddenly seemed to recognize who was on the other line, because there was only one Troll she knew who played Rock, and could do Classical guitar.
Back at the condo, Demo was seen playing Classical guitar while the phone laid open-face beside him so the caller on the other line could hear him play.
After his performance, he heard the "Unknown" female voice replied, "You play marvelously, sir."
"Thanks," Demo replied, adding, "And you sound just as beautifully as the guitar does, but moreso like an angel sent from above," before he let out a sad sigh.
Essence seemed to caught wind of this and asked, "Sir, do you sound ok"?
Demo replied, "Well, mysterious beautiful stranger, if anything, I feel...alone. Everyone i know is either dating someone or falling in love, and here I am relying on phone dating to get anywhere near that! Is it me? Am I just not meant to be in love"?
"Of course you are, sir. Everyone is capable of falling in love, and I know you can too. It's definitely a wonder to be talking to a very caring Troll as yourself," Essence replied on the phone.
Demo could feel himself blush a bit in embarrassment, saying, "Awww, thank you...um...I'm sorry, i never got your name."
Essence panicked and tried to think up of a name, before realizing she couldn't do it on the fly, so, she came up with a quick alibi, saying, "Um, if I told you who i was, the sound of my name would be too beautiful for any Troll to handle."
"Ooh! you must sound like a goddess then," Demo replied, adding, "Well, it was a pleasure to meet you. i hope we can chat again soon, m'lady," and hung up the phone.
Essence sighed a huge breath of relief, saying, "That was too close of a call."
Back at the condo, Demo sighed dreamily, while Sid, who had seen what happened, asked, "Were you flirting with someone on the phone"?
"No, I was talking to an angel," Demo happily replied.
"You're weird," Sid bluntly stated before walking away.
Over at the Candy Factory, Poppy, Biggie, Trollex, Synth, Val, and Barb were excited to be working there, but found that they were running into some problems right away, and were moved into different spots.
For Poppy and Biggie, they made a huge mess in the kitchen with the liquified fruit juices that went into the gummies.
With Trollex and Synth, Trollex accidentally poured some juice powder onto Synth, who fell into a giant pot of water, making Synth almost "Swim" in the gummy juices.
And Barb and Val messed up the arrangement of the gummyin their boxes when Val kept squeezing the gummies to see what kind of juice was inside.
That led to the group being placed now in a room where there was a conveyor belt, with two holes on each side of the conveyor belt.
Their boss, who was a Magic Classical Troll, instructed, "Alright, this is the only other spot available we need help in: our wrapping department. The task is very simple: all you need to do is just pick up a gummy fruit when it passes through the conveyor belt, wrap it up in paper, and then place it back on the belt, so it can be transported into the next room to be packed away. This is your last chance here; if even one gummy fruit is missed, or you mess it up, you're all fired! I don't care if you're royalty or not, because here: you are all regular employees to me, and i don't special treatment to no one! Understood"?
"Yes," the 6 Normal Trolls said in unison.
"Ok, let her roll," the Magic Classical Troll said while leaving the conveyor room, and the belt started to move.
It went slowly, bringing in a little bit of candy gummy fruits at a time, making it a perfect pace for the Normal Troll to easily package in paper before placing back on the belt.
"Well, at least this isn't so bad," Trollex commented while wrapping up a gummy.
"Yeah, and it's a lot easier to do, especially since we can wrap presents really well. so, wrapping gummies is an easy game," Poppy commented while placing the gummy she wrapped up onto the conveyor belt.
"Less yappin', more wrappin' guys," Barb stated as they continued to wrap and place.
Suddenly, the belt seemed to move a little faster, making the Normal Trolls having to up their speed so they could wrap and place all the gummies onto the belt. It wasn't so much at first, but then, the speed when up faster...and faster! Soon, it was becoming so fast, the Normal Trolls began to panic, almost being unable to keep up with the wrapping for all the gummies.
"Ah! It's coming too fast," Val exclaimed.
"I can't keep up, yo," Synth shouted in panic.
"We have to do something quick," Biggie commented worryingly.
"Ok, for now, everyone, just stuff gummies wherever you can," Poppy declared.
"If you can't fit 'em, eat 'em," Trollex added as he stuffed a handful of gummies into his mouth.
Biggie quickly stuffed gummy fruit into his shorts, vest, and hair, and any that he couldn't stuff, he ate, or fed to Mr. Dinkles, who practically inahled gummies by the mouthful.
Val and Barb were the same story; hiding the gummies in their clothes and hair, and eating any they couldn't stuff into their pockets and outfiuts.
Trollex and Synth didn't wear any clothes, so, they had to stuff all the gummies they could into their hair and mouths.
Poppy stuffed all the gummies she could into her dress and hair before stuffing them into her mouth.
They kept this going for a long while before soon, the conveyor belt stopped rolling, and their boss returned to see how they were doing, while the Normal Trolsl panicked, praying the boss didn't notice their hair, clothes, and mouths stuffed with gummies.
Their boss looked around before saying, "Huh, you guys are doing a good job here. Nice work."
The 6 Normal Trolls looked relieved at first, until they heard their boss shout, "Let's speed it up," before she left, leaving 6 horrified Normal Trolls seeing, as the conveyor belt started to move faster now, that they were gonna have to do it all over again, and frantically started to stuff as much as they could.
Later, after being hopelessly fired from the Candy factory for the conveyor belt debacle, the 6 Trolls walked home exhausted and covered in fruit gummies, will holding a bunch of them in their hair, and coping with some stinging stomach aches.
"That was just tiring," Biggie said while his pet worm hccup and emitted some gummies from his mouth.
"Yeah, yo! I'm so tired, and my tummy feels so full," Synth said while rubbing his tummy, feeling a stomach ache coming on.
"Popsqueak, I don't think we're cut out for working at the moment, especially after the debacle we had today," Barb commented while emitting a small burp.
"For now, let's just get home and put our feet up, because after what happened today, I need a nice, long rest," Poppy replied.
"On the plus side, it's not like things can get any worse," Trollex commented.
Suddenly, the 6 Trolls heard a buzzing sound.
"Uh, what's that noise," Val commented while looking around.
Then, they looked up and saw a huge hive of energy-powered bees flying almost near them.
"They're bees," Biggie commented in fear.
"Don't worry; Laguna told me all about bees. They won't bother us because they usually prefer to go near things that are sweet," Trollex instructed.
"Well, I'm glad we're not made of sweet things," Poppy commented in relief.
Barb then noticed something, asking, "But aren't we full of sweet juicy gummy candies"?
That made the 6 Trolls gulp and see the incoming bee swarm coming towards them, making them shout in fright and run away, trying to hide from the bees that kept chasing them.
Meanwhile, Dante, Trollzart, Cooper, Prince D, Stereo, and Guy Diamond, who were in the Funk ship escaping the bees earlier, saw what had happened, with Dante saying, "Ok, maybe giving the bees that energy potion wasn't such a good idea."
"Yoy think, yo?! Our friends and my sweet Synthesizer are in danger," Stereo exclaimed.
"We got to save them," Cooper shouted.
"But how? If we beam them up, the bees will chase after us again," Prince D pointed out.
"There has to be something! Can't we just lure the bees away," Guy Diamond suggested.
"That's it! Bees always follow there queen, so if can move the hive away, the bees will see their queen moving, and will follow it," Trollzart commented.
"Perfect idea, maestro! Prince Darnell, fly the ship to the roof so I can pick up the hive," Dante declared.
"You got it," Prince D replied while flying the ship over to the top of the condo, where the garden top was, and hovered over the bee hive.
"Now, how do we pick it up," Cooper asked.
"We can't just grab it or we'll get stung. So, we will need a hands-free way to pick up the hive," Trollzart advised.
"Hands free? I got just the thing," Prince D said while pressing a button that made a giant spatula appear from the arms of the ship.
"A spatula? Uh, Prince D, I don't see how now is a good time for pancakes," Stereo questioned.
Prince D chuckled, saying, "We're not making pancakes, but we are about to flip out"!
He pulled the lever to make the spatula extend and rest under the hive, and then, pressing the button, the spatula flipped the hive, tossing it into the air, and going far far away, The bees that were chasing Poppy's group saw their hive leaving and flew away to follow it and the queen.
When Poppy's group saw the bees leaving, they sighed in relief that the bees were gone.
Up in the ship, Dante's group all cheered in success.
"We did it," Guy Diamond cheered.
"Phew, that was close," Dante said, adding, "Hopefully now, things can return to a more peaceful standard."
Suddenly, Stereo's tummy rumbled, making her chuckle, saying, "That spatula's now made me hungry for pancakes, yo," making everyone laugh together.
In Stylish Strands, Melody was finishing up styling a male Magic Rock Troll's hair, adding a bit of hairspray before saying, "And voila! All set sir"?
The Magic Rock Troll looked in the mirror before saying with a smile, "Rocking! Thanks, ma'am," and paid Melody $30 Trollars before leaving.
"Who's next," Melody said happily, itching to do some more styling.
She then saw a female Magic Classical Troll enter the salon, and it was one she recognized well, because she gasped in surprise, saying "It's Congresswoman Amelia"!
Melody watched as the Magic Classical Troll was talking to the receptionist before she saw the receptionist point to the chair Melody was by, making Melody point out, in surprise/shock, "I'm gonna get to style the hair of one of the leaders of Harmonious Land"!
Internally, she wanted to squeal in excitement, and was currently panicking, saying, "Ok, keep it together, Mel. You can do it! You can do it"!
When she saw the Congresswoman approaching her, Melody pulled out her best grin, saying, "Greetings, Congressowman Amelia"!
Amelia recognized Melody, saying, "Hi there! You're Val's cousin: Melody, correct"?
"Yesiree I am! Val's mentioned me to you," Melody asked curiously.
"Indeed. And also because I saw you were on the news the other day regarding the "incident" at Funk Bar," Amelia replied.
Melody was surprised, hearing that her passed out drunken state caught wind of the news, faceplaming in embarrassment while saying, "It got on the news"?
"Yes, but I am very relieved to see you are doing a lot better now," Amelia replied reassuringly.
"Yeah, I've been getting better with the help of my friends," Melody said before asking, "So, what can I do for you today? You name it, I'll style it"!
Amelia asked, "How are you with...handling situations with gum"?
"Oh, I can easily fix that! I've cut gum out of a lot of Troll hair! Why," Melody replied inquisitvely.
Amelia answered sheepishly, "Well...during orchestra practice today, one of the trumpet players forgot to spit out their gum before blowing into their trumpet. So, when they did, it blew a bubble and...," before turning her body and showing the spot on her head where there was a wad of gum stuck.
Melody cringed in concern before saying reassuringly, "Not to worry, I can help get that out for you, Amelia! Please take a seat and I can start right away."
Amelia flew into the stylist chair as Melody used the chair pump to move the chair to the right level so she could reach.
Melody got her scissors ready and carefully eyed the gum wad, saying, "Ok, so, I think I got the perfect idea how to get it out, but you're gonna need to trust me on this."
Amelia replied, making a small joke, "As long as I don't end up like a Sphynx cat, you go right ahead."
Melody carefully used her scissors to cut out the gum wad, and once the wad was gone, she brushed over a bit of Amelia's hair to fix/style around the spot so it would look as if the gum never got to her in the first place.
A few minutes later, Melody stepped back, saying, "Finished! And it looks perfect, if I do say so myself"!
Amelia looked in the mirror, grinning happily, saying, "And I do as well! Excellent work, Melody, and thank you so much," while paying her a $25 Trollar tip.
Melody grinned proudly, saying "Just doing my job, and working my styling magic."
After Amelia left, Melissa, who had seen how Melody handled the situation, came up to her, saying, "Amazing job, Miss Melody. Your first day working here has definitely been very productive."
"Thank you, Ms. Mayweather," Melody replied, appreciating the comment, while saying, "I just love to style hair and make others smile when they see how good they look."
Melissa chuckled, saying, "Well, I have to close soon, but before I do, let me give you your first paycheck," and gave Melody an envelope.
Melody looked at the envelope, saying, "Wow, really? Thank you so much," and looked in the envelope to see how much she got paid and saw she had $100 Trollars inside, saying, "Woah, $100 Trollars? Melissa, I appreciate it, but this is too much, especially on my first day."
Melissa chuckled, saying, "You've earned it, especially for all your hard work. But moving forward, I'll be paying you half the amount as your salary, 'kay"?
"Got it. I'll be here bright and early again tomorrow, Ms. Mayweather! See you tomorrow," Melody said before leaving while she waved to her boss, who smiled and waved back at the Pop/Rock Troll.
Exiting the salon, Melody hummed her little "Magic Melody" montra tune while walking home.
Back at the condo, everyone else who hadn't gotten a job today, including Aggie, were currently together hanging in the lobby, along with Dante's group, and Smidge, Riff (who was sitting on the couch covered in the plaster cast), McJagger, and Branch, and currently, everyone was eating pancakes for dinner, thanks to Stereo's suggestion, and Branch whipping up a quick flapjack feast for everyone, including the other Trolls who would be back soon.
Essence was the first to enter the condo, with Cooper smiling, saying, "Mom! You're home," and ran to her, along with Prince D, and they hugged their mom.
"Hello, boys," Essence said while hugging her sons.
"Hey, Essence," quincy said, walking up to his wife while asking, "How was it finding a job"?
Essence didn't have the heart to admit what she had really done today as she made up an alibi, saying, "Well, I got a job today being the voice announcer for some very obscure radio commercials."
"Ooh," Cooper said while asking, "What's obscure"?
Before Essence could answer, Quincy said, "Well, I'm really happy for you, E," and gave his wife a kiss, while Essence happily kissed Quincy back.
Prince D then commented, "While you were at work, Cooper and I were Dante with his "job" of selling honey."
"Yes, but it turned out more of a disaster than we anticipated," Dante commented while biting into a piece of his pancake.
"Those bees chased us all over town," Guy Diamond added while giving Essence a plate of pancakes so she could come and eat with the others.
Then, Poppy, Biggie, Val, Barb, Trollex, and Synth came into the condo, still with tummy aches and covered in gummies, after escaping the bees.
"Hey, guys! You want pancakes," DJ Sukia sked while offering some pancakes to them.
"No thanks, we're not hungry," Trollex replied while siting next to Aggie.
Aggie saw how he looked, comforting Trollex with a kiss, before she noticed how Poppy, Val, Barb, Synth, and Biggie looked, asking, "Woah, guys! What happened to you six"?
"We got fired at the candy factory," Biggie replied while sitting down.
"And bees chased us up the wazoo 'cause we're sicky and sticky," Synth added while plopping down next to Stereo.
Stereo giggled and saved while taking off some of the gummies off Synth, "Well, at least you're sweeter than any gummy fruit," and ate the gummies before giving Synth a kiss on the cheek, which made him blush and alleviated some of the stomach ache pain he had.
Barb saw Riff wrapped in the cast and, concerned, asked, "Dude! Like what happened to you"?
"Long story," Riff replied.
"And to make it short, he got sucked into an airplane turbine," Smidge replied on behalf of Riff.
"But we got to rescue him," Branch explained, adding, "McJagger and I joined the fire squad."
"Yep; Branch is now part of the fire crew, and I'm a part of the crew's paramedic team," McJagger explained.
"Wow, that's so awesome, Branch! You're gonna get to help so many Trolls as a firefighter! Plus," Poppy said while sitting next to him, adding with a bit of flirt, "You look handsome in uniform."
Branch blushed a deep shade of red with a sheepish smile, but he did find Poppy's statement very charming.
"And I know one Troll who's also gonna find someone handsome in uniform," Rhythm joked towards McJagger, who blushed thinking about what Laguna would say if she saw him in uniform.
"Speaking of that Troll, where's Laguna," Blues asked.
"Did someone call me," Laguna said while entering the condo.
"Hey, 'Guna. Nice headset," Low-Note commented while giving her a plate of pancakes.
"Thank you, they're a part of my new job at the 2-4-0 Emergency Dispatch Center," Laguna replied.
"Ooh," everyone said in awe.
"2-4-0? What's that," Sid asked.
"That is the emergency phone number we have here in Harmonious Land. My task requires to obtain the emergency calls and notify the stated rescue agencies, such as the fire station, or police station, about them so they can respond and take the immediate action needed," Laguna answered.
"That's awesome; you get to work hand in hand with the rescue agencies around here," Legsley replied.
"And I think there's an "emergency call" you need to obtain right there," Prince D told Laguna, pointing at McJagger.
Laguna saw McJagger in his uniform and blushed heavily, her face steaming pink and her head fins tilted down in awe.
McJagger was also blushing, showing a sheepish smile, making everyone saw, "Awwwwwww," in awe.
Then, Delta, Holly, Gust, and Buckaroo trotted into the condo, with Minuet saying, "Welcome back! How did your job hunt go"?
"It went great, y'all," Delta said, adding, "Y'all are looking at Las Veggie's newest cops," while she and the other Country Trolls showed off their badges.
"Wow, that's awesome, you guys, great work," Aggie praised her friends.
"We caught one ov them most wanted criminals: Benjamin Butterfinguurrs, ayn' arrested him," Holly explained.
"Sadly, Geronimo ayn' Giselle got away, but we'll get 'em next taame," Gust added.
"Naw crininnals ken evuurr escape from us faw long," Buckaroo said.
While Aggie went to get the Country Trolls plates with pancakes, Melody entered the condo, saying, "I'm back, guys"!
"Hey, Melly! How was work," Val asked.
"It was awesome! And I even got a paycheck on my first day," Melody answered while showing her envelope.
"That fast? Wow, you must be good," Demo commented.
Aggie flew back, giving the Country Trolls their plates, before giving one to Mel while saying, "Great job, Mel, I'm really proud of you," and patting Melody on the back.
Suddenly, Melody seemed to hear something that sounded like Guy Diamond screaming, making her say, "Guy, why are you screaming"?
"I didn't scream," Guy Diamond replied.
"Yeah, my daddy's been quiet before you came," Tiny Diamond answered.
"Huh, that's odd. Eh, it might've been just me hearing things," Melody answered, though deep down, she was confused because she swore she could've heard screaming, but no one in the condo screamed. So...where did it come from? Or even...was she just hearing things?
"Aggie, thank you again for encouraging us to look for jobs to do around Harmonious Land," essence said, changing the topic.
"Yeah, we really at home getting to work around here," Branch commented.
"Even for some of us who didn't find a job today," Satin commented.
Aggie said, "You're welcome, guys; happy I could help. And it's ok if you got fired or didn't find a job today, maybe you'll find something along the line in the future."
"Plus, don't forget, there's still so much for us to see and do," Minuet pointed out.
"Each day is gonna bring us new adventures, and we'll face it head on," Beat added on.
"Oh wait, y'all! Ay almost forgot! We Country Trolls picked up ayy lil' gift faw y'all on our way home," Holly said.
"Oh yeah, I went and got something too," Melody added.
"I also got you all a little gift on my way home as well," Essence added.
"We did too," Branch and McJagger said in unison.
"Note: As did I," Laguna added on.
"Ooh! What did you get," Chenille asked.
"Is it a car," Sid asked in intrigue.
"Why would you think it'd be a car," Legsley asked.
"Eh, a car's nice," Sid answered while shrugging.
"No, it's not a car, but it's just as sweet," Melody commented.
"What is it," Beat asked in excitement.
"We all brought...," Delta said as she, Holly, Gust, Buckaroo, Melody, Branch, McJagger, Laguna, and Essence reached into their hair and each pulled out a medium-sized box of gummy fruit candies, with Essence saying, "5lb boxes of Gummy Fruit candies"!
"Yay," most of the Normal Trolls cheered.
Poppy, Trollex, Val, Barb, Synth, and Biggie were the only ones who didn't cheer as they saw the same candies that they had forcibly eaten earlier at their job, and the sight of the candies was enough to make them groan sickly and fall over, fainting, while some of the gummies they hid in their hair spilled out.
Everyone else looked at them in confusion, with Smidge asking, "I guess they don't want any"?
Unsure of what to say, everyone shrugged in confusion as a reply.
