A/N: I didn't really want to just say "oh, by the way everyone is conveniently together and talking about a specific thing" so it kinda turned into them gathering for lunch, cause why not.
Also, if you need a reference as to what concept I'm trying to accomplish refer to Part 1:Ep 21 of trollhunters at the beginning of the episode. One more thing. To make it clearer on whats going on I'll be using ~~~~ to signify switching from the 'story' and 'reality'
AAARRRGGHH, Toby, Steve, Krell, and Eli were waiting for everyone else to arrive. They decided to meet at the restaurant where Jim, Toby, and Claire ate at when Claire was posessed by Morgana. Oh, and Darcy was there too. They had scooted two tables together and gathered all the vacent chairs needed for the arriving guests. Krell twiddled his fingers impatiently on the table while everyone else was still ordering their food. Suddenly a blue wormhole opened up in the middle of the table. Aja in Akiridian form came through, walked, and fell off the table, perfoming a perfect faceplant. The wormhole then closed and Aja got up. Krell sat still in his chair, trying not to laugh.
"I apologize friends," she said while dusting herself off. "We're still working out some bugs in the wormhole device, and I had to quickly ditch Varvatos."
"It is not a bug, it did exactly as you told it to do. This was your own error," said Krell. She scowled, then went to seat herself.
"So, is this everyone. Are we ready to eat the food and be enjoying everyones company."
"Almost," Toby interjected. "We still need to wait for Jim and Claire."
"And how long will that take?"
"Not long," said AAARRRGGHH. Moments later after finishing ordering their food Jim, Claire, and Blinky finally arrived. Jim and Claire were still dressed in their armor.
"Ahh, Blinky! So glad you came," said Toby.
"Of course I did. I would never pass up a chance to speak to my friends again." They too seated themselves and asked for the waiter to put their meals in. Claire ordered a steak while Jim and Blinky just asked for ten forks each. The waiter was a bit confused but taking another look at Jim and the other trolls, he just let it slide. Once everyone got their food and was situated Jim asked the first question.
"So, Aja and Krell, where exactly are you from?" Krell rolled his eyes like he heard this a thousand times, and quickly summerized and answered his questions to get it all out of the way. Including how they lived, that they were royals, and how they escaped and freed their home from Morando.
"Cool. I did something similar. The defeating a tyranical and powerful underlord part. Well, for you I guess it would be overlord"
"Yeah, and it was so cool. I wish someone videotaped it. It would have been perfect for my film," said Toby
"Wait you have a film?" asked Claire.
"Yeah, and it was awesome!"
"No, it wasnt," said AAARRRGGHH.
"What, your a film critic now?" AAARRRGGHH shrugged. "Anyway, the point is I wish I had some of the footage for my film cause it was super amazing awesome sauce!"
"Surely there is some security cameras somewhere that caught some of it," said Claire.
"Security...cameras? What is this technology they speak of master Jim?"
"Its exactly what the name implies. They are cameras, that are for security. They record everything all the time."
"Say, you wouldnt happen to know if you were caught in your trollhunting duties around the city by one of those cameras?" The table fell silent for many moments until Eli spoke up.
"What if there are no security cameras in town?"
"Theres no way. Nearly every store and school has security cameras. Its the most standard security precaution," said Claire
"Yes but, do you remember ever seeing any cameras at school though?," asked Eli.
"Hey, yeah," said Toby. "Now that I think about it I dont think I ever saw any cameras anywhere."
"We tried to be sneaky, but we were far from quiet," said Blinky, remembering the time he got to drive an automobile in the streets.
"Yeah, like when the gnomes stole Uhles truck and we got detention," said Claire.
"We werent the quietest either," Aja admitted.
"'We werent quiet' is an understatement," said Krell. "We might as well have been banging pots and pans together throughout the streets and yet still no one noticed us."
"This is definitely unusual. Do you think the goblins could have stolen all them or something," said Eli
"Nah, goblins are too dumb. Beside, wouldnt people just report it stolen and replace them," said Steve.
"I wonder what would have happened if there were cameras and we got caught," said Toby. Everyone then began to think of what would have happened. "Hey guys!" exclaimed Toby. "I think I might know what would've happened!"
Tobys version
"Remember the time we stood up otto to find the Janus order, and I was hover-chasing him down the road with my mighty warhammer and I ran into a truck? Welllll, lets say that night, one of the traffic security cameras might have caught me."~~~~
Everyones minds trailed off and imagined what Toby was describing as the hypothetical scenario and situation that he described.
"So, lets say there are about two guards sitting in their security moniter room," he narrated.
"Do you even know how traffic cams work?" asked Claire, interupting him. "Hey, whos telling the story here," he replied. "Ok, so heres what happens"
In the hypothetical situation, one of the guards was eating a donut while the other was snacking on chips, not really paying attention to the security moniters. Nothing really goes on at night. They were about to be proven wrong as one of them took a quick glimpse at the moniter just as Toby raced by on his hammer followed by Claire. He spit out his chips all over his desk in surprise.
"Wait did you see that?" The guard with chips asked. "Nope." The guard with donuts replied. The guard with chips rewinded the tape for closer inspection and to show his friend, and pressed play. They gathered and stared at the moniter, once again he saw Toby fly by on his hammer. They were both baffled.
"No way it can be real," The donut guard said. "We have to alert the Mayor," said the chips guard.
"Wait a second, what if its just CGI or something?" The chips guard chuckled. "There's no way. No one in this town is smart, brilliant, or creative enough to do that. As well as everyone in this town lacks pretty much any skill higher than repairing a flat tire."
"HEY!," Krell interjected in the story. "I am all those things, I thought we were over this!"
"They couldnt have known about you. Chill dude. Ah hem, as I was saying."
One of the guards copied and sent the footage to the Mayors office and Police for further investigation. Detective Scott and councilwoman Nuñez saw the footage the next morning and knew immedietely who it was. "That kid just cant stay out of trouble," Scott said to himself. Meanwhile Claire immediately got a phone call from her mom, and a police car arrived at our houses, and, and...~~~~
"Whoopsie, I kinda messed it up. I got it where we were going to jail. Thats NOT what I had in mind." Everyone stared at him blankly, waiting for him to recover his story while he struggled.
"Psst, Toby," Jim audibly whispered from his side of the table. "Just tell us the ending you had in mind."
"Ugh, alright."~~~~
Toby bursted through his front door walking down a red carpet leading to a limo. Darcy was by his side dressed extravagantly with large diamond ear rings and fancy dress. While he wore a tuxedo with nice reflective shades. He smiled and waved at the entourage taking his pictures excessively. The flashes from their cameras formed a wall of light on either side of the red carpet. He and Darcy walked through and climbed into the limo which drove off to its destination.
He inhaled through his nose. "ahh, that new limo smell."
"Wait, what about us. We're with you too you know," said Claire.
"Ugh, fiiiiine," he groaned. "You can be here too."
He snapped his fingers then Jim and Claire materialized in the limo seat across from Tobys, already dressed fancy clothes that could suit any formal occasion. Jims was a nice blue tuxedo with a daylight sword pin. Claire meanwhile has a fancy red dress.
"Wait, so we're famouse?," asked Claire
"You know it!" he replied.
"Why though?" asked Jim.
"Duh, cause everyone loves us. After we were caught by the security cameras instead of throwing us in jail we explained what was going on in the city, how we're protecting them and fixing it, and now they're praising us and showering us with thank you gifts." Jim and Claire looked around the fancy limo.
"Yeah, I dont think thats how this works," said Claire.
"What about me wingman," said AAARRRGGHHs' disembodied voice.
"Your too big to fit in the limo so your waiting for us at the mega awesome party!" he said, looking up to the ceiling.
"Do you honestly believe this is what would happen if they caught us," he gestured to the surrounding area.
"Well, they accepted trolls immedietely after the eternal night. So it makes sense that everyone would accept and realize what we do to help the town right?"
"Eh," Jim and Claire said in their own way at the same time. "Its a good thought, but Im pretty sure it would usualy just cause panic," said Claire.
"Lighten up. People here were always the nicest and most understanding people ever. I never got more than a stern talking too by the police for stealing and crashing a cop car!"
"After you helped apprehend other criminals. Pretty sure that was a one time offer," said Jim.
Jim and Claire fell back in their seat as the limo slowed to a stop.
"We're here! Be cool." The limo door was opened by the driver. Toby and Darcy got out first, followed by Jim and Claire. There was another red carpet as well as walls of flashing camera lights on either side of the carpet from the hpards of entourage. Jim and Claire were being blinded by the lights.
"Do you have any spare sun glasses," JIm asked.
"This is just a story, imagine your own."
"Hm." He gave it a little thought, and willed sunglasses to appear in his hand. Soon sunglasses materialized in his hand and he put them on his face. "Huh, cool," he said. Claire watched and copied Jim. She also had sunglasses materialize in her hand. Both their sunglasses were customized to their liking. Jims frame was a shiny glossy blue, with multicoloered reflective lenses. Claires frame was a gleaming purple as her armor, while only having the traditonal deep black lenses. They then started their walk up the red carpet. Once they reached the front door they were greeted by AAARRRGGHH. "Whats up wingman," he said.
"Only the most amazing party ever!," replied Toby
"Wait, what about Blinky," asked Jim.
"He's right behind you."
"Huh?" He turned around. "Master Jim!" "Gah!" Jim jumped back.
"I am so happy to finally be part of Tobias' story!
"Yeah, good to see you."
"Shall we enter and enjoy the festivites," said Blinky.
"Yes, we shall," said Toby. They entered the building to a massive fancy ball room. Due to the sheer size of the room it seemd imposible that it should be able to fit inside the small exterior of the building they just saw. Jim and Claire gaped in awe. Crowds of people attended. It seems like the entire town was occupying this one room. Imagine the fanciest, most shiny and beautifully decorated palace and multiply it by five. Cinderella has nothing on this place. Their were equally fancy tables spread out across the large room full of food and drinks.
"This looks like something only a trilloinare could afford," said Claire. Toby only shrugged. "Eh, whatever. I'm sure it'll be ok, just go enjoy the party."
"But this isn't really happen-" Claire was cut off by Toby shushing her. The lights dimmed and a spotlight turned on and was directed at a stage with a microphone. There councilwoman Nuñez walked onto the stage with a piece of paper.
"Its time for the main event!," he sqealed. councilwoman Nuñez then began her announcement.
"Greetings, people of Arcadia!. It is my prestigious honor to present to you, movie filmer with the mighty war hammer!" "That doesnt even rhyme," Interjected Claire, only to be shushed by Toby again. "Our very own, Toby Domzalski!"
The crowd ecstaticly cheered, "Toby! Toby! Toby!"
"Yeah! Whooo!," he cheered himself while walking up to the stage. Jim and Claire meanwhile was left behind, lost in the crowd. Toby climbed the stairs and onto the stage, the crowds enthusiasm climbing ever higher. Once he arrived he grabbed the mic and waited for the crowd to die down so he could speak. Soon the crowd was down to whispers at which point he began his speech.
"People of Arcadia, are you ready to rock this joint!" The crowd instantly regained its former energy while collectively yelling "YEAH." The crowd continued cheering for a minute before dying down again.
"Alright listen, lets be real for a sec," he started. Jim and Claires interest peaked. They thought he might finally acknowledge them and their teamwork.
"I am so glad to have such amazing people living with me in this town, but the real hero behind all of this is," Jim and Claire waited with anticipation.
"Blinky."
"What!" Jim and Claire said in unison.
"Without whom it would have never been possible for me to have my might war hammer pocket sized, and therefore easier to take around with me everywhere I go so I could have been able to save this town as we did. And of course a great big thank you goes to my wingman, AAARRRGGHH. Everyone, give them a round of applause."
The crowd applauded Blinky and AAARRRGGHH. Though, in this massive crowd no one could even tell where they were anymore.
"Oh and also a quick sidenote, thanks to Claire and jim as well. Now then! Let the party continue!"
Jim and Claire were upset, but know that he didnt have malicious intent in mind. They decided they would have their revenge later.
Before Toby could walk off the stage councilwoman Nuñez intercepted him, and ushered him back to the microphone.
"Hang on, wait everyone," said the councilwoman. "We have one more surprise guest here today. The president, of the United States of America!"
"Awesome sauce!," was the only reply he was capable of giving at this point. A man in a suit and tie came onto the stage and stood in front of toby, and took the mic for everyone to hear what he had to say.
"Toby Domzalski, I was in the middle of incedibly important president stuff, but when I heard about what you did to save us; I just had to drop everything to come down here to congradulate you. I can rest easy knowing the country is safe in your hands.
"Here." He pulled out a sparkly gold medal from his pocket. "I am giving you the greatest award and honor I can bestow."
"Thank you so much Mr. President!" He then clipped the medal to his shirt.
"Im also making you an honorary secret service agent. Heres your badge." He took out an official looking badge then casually tossed it to him. "Good job kid. Feel free to drop by the white house any time. I gotta go now." He then walked off the stage and seemingly faded into oblivion. The crowd then started up again cheering "Toby! Toby! Toby!"~~~~
Back in reality, Tobys eyes were shut while saying to himself, "Toby Toby Toby," In a quiet voice. A moment later he opened his eyes and stopped his chant. Everyone was staring at him curiously.
"Oh, we're already done with that? he asked.
"Very done," replied Jim.
"Wait." Steve took a look around the table. "What just happened?"
"I'm...not quite sure," said Eli. "Everyone saw that, right?"
"Yes. I was part of it," said AAARRRGGHH.
"Lets just choose to believe its troll magic and not question it, agreed," said Jim. Everyone nodded, though they were expecting to get a full explanation later, somehow. They then resumed eating their food.
A/N: So what do you think? I didn't really intend to make it a series but it looks like that might be happening if I decide to continue with everyone elses version. Obviously I'm not gonna continue if it doesn't do well, so be sure to review and let me know what you think about it.
