The Fliegel Has Landed
Inside the Trolls' cave, Sofia, Madeline and Gnarly had their eyes covered, counting.
"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty!" They chorused. "Ready or not, here we come!"
The little Troll girl Teeny quickly hide amongst the rocks.
"Where's Teeny?" Gnarly asked.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Sofia called.
Teeny giggled loudly.
"Where could that be coming from?" Madeline smirked.
The girls and Gnarly followed the sound to the stalagmite Teeny was hiding behind.
"Ah-hah!" They surprised her.
Teeny ran away, still giggling. She bumped into Chief Knuckles.
"Whoa!" The Troll gasped.
"Sorry, Chief!" Tenny apologized.
"That's okay." Chief Knuckles picked her up. "I should have seen you coming, but I was busy star-gazing." He pointed to the ceiling, with all its gleaming crystals.
"Your cave crystals really do look like stars, Chief Knuckles." Sofia admitted.
"I wish we had more." Teeny declared.
"Me too, Teeny." Chief Knuckles sighed. "But you know how rare cave crystals are. Each Troll only gets one."
"Like this." Gnarly held up a glowing crystal.
"Oooh." Teeny cooed.
"Okay, have fun, everyone." Chief Knuckles smiled.
"Bye, Chief Knuckles." Madeline waved.
"See ya, Chief." Gnarly smiled. "Alright, it's my turn to hide! Start counting!"
As Sofia, Madeline and Teeny started counting, Gnarly rushed down the cavern.
"Here we go." He panted, as he moved deeper into the cavern. "Oooh. I've never hidden over here before. It's really dark..." He pulled out his crystal. "Ah, that's better. They'll never find me in here!"
"What's this?" A voice asked, as a tiny pair of hands took the crystal.
"Hey!" Gnarly followed the light into a smaller cave, where a small, fairy-like creature was flying around, holding the crystal.
"Glorious light, at last!" The creature smiled. "All I've had is this pathetic little candle to light up this dark, dreary cave." She shooed away a mole that was sitting by the candle.
"Hey!" Gnarly yelled. "Give that back, you... you flying gnome!"
"'Flying gnome'?" The creature snorted. "I'm a Fliegel. Grotta the Fleigel to you!"
"What's a Fliegel?" Gnarly asked.
"Ugh, you don't even know what a Fliegel is?" Grotta scowled. "You must not get out of your cave much." She affixed the crystal to a stalactite with a little wand. "Listen up, little Troll, and I'll tell you what I'm all about."
Grotta: I don't like the dark
But I live in a cave.
A cozy little home is what I crave
Even if I have to misbehave.
Beware, this Fliegel has landed.
From kingdom to kingdom
I have roamed.
Searching high and low
With a fine-tooth comb
Finally found a cave to call my own
Behold, this Fliegel has landed
I used to reside under ol' Khaldune
Unil they chased me outta town
But this little cave will do just fine
Once I move a few things around
"This place will look great, once I do a little decorating." Grotta declared. "And get a lot more of those crystal thingies."
"Well, why don't you ask Chief Knuckles for some?" Gnarly suggested.
"Ask?" Grotta sneered. "I don't ask, I tell. And I'm telling you to get some more glowing crystals!"
"You could be a little nicer about it." Gnarly growled.
"I could, but I don't have to be." Grotta smirked. "Because I'm a Fliegel!"
Grotta: Like it or not
I'm here to stay
So you better do everything I say
Or there's gonna be a hefty price to pay
Because this Fliegel has landed
Oh yeah
This Fliegel has landed.
Look out
This Fliegel has landed
On you
Troll
Grotta flew up and pulled the crystal out of the stalactite.
"I cannot find anything in this mess!" She groaned. "Flinch!"
The mole pattered over.
"Yes, Grotta?" He asked nervously.
"Find something to put this in!" Grotta gave Flinch the crystal.
"Right away, Grotta!" Flinch nodded. As he turned around, he bumped into a stool, and dropped the crystal. A bucket, which had been on the stool, flew off, and covered the crystal.
"Ah, it's dark!" Grotta yelped. "Flinch, pick it up, pick it up!"
"Sorry, Grotta." Flinch freed the crystal. "Please don't zap me!"
"Are you afraid of the dark?" Gnarly asked.
"I am not afraid of anything, mister!" Grotta yelled. "Now, take this bucket, and fill it up with those glowing crystals, or else."
"Or else what?" Gnarly challenged her.
"Or else I'll turn you into a salamander!" Grotta twirled her wand. "Cammanda salamander!"
Grotta turned a nearby mouse into a salamander.
"Ah!" Gnarly yelped.
"Take it from me, you don't want to mess with Grotta." Flinch declared.
"Now, get me what I want, and no-one will get salamandered." Grotta told Gnarly. and don't tell anyone about this. You go blabbin', and I go zappin'! Just bring me those crystals. Got it, Troll?"
"Yes, okay, I will." Gnarly agreed.
"Flinch, be more careful with my crystals!" Grotta yelled, causing Flinch to almost drop the crystal.
"Sorry, Grotta." Flinch apologised.
"You just can't scare up good help these days..." Grotta sighed.
As Gnarly ran out, he ran into Sofia, Madeline and Teeny, who were still looking for him.
"Hey!" Sofia gasped.
"Sorry!" Gnarly apologised.
"We're supposed to find you, Gnarly!" Teeny pointed out.
"What happened?" Madeline asked.
"Uh... nothing!" Gnarly lied. "I just... don't wanna play any more."
"Awww." Teeny sighed.
"Are you okay?" Sofia frowned.
"I'm fine." Gnarly declared. "I... just feel like doing something else now. Hey, have you ever mined for cave crystals?"
"You mine for those?" Madeline asked.
"Yeah!" Gnarly nodded. "It's really fun. You get to bang big hammers. Wanna try it?"
"Sure!" Sofia and Madeline nodded.
Some time later, all four were chipping away at the rocks.
"Hey, I think I found something!" Sofia smiled.
"Ooh, let me see, let me see!" Gnarly leaned in as Sofia pulled out an emerald. "Ohh. It's only an emerald."
"Well, isn't that a precious gem?" Madeline frowned.
"It doesn't glow like a cave crystal." Gnarly threw the emerald away.
"Hey, I found something too!" Teeny called.
"Good job, Teeny!" Gnarly went to inspect it. "Oh, but it's just a diamond. It's no use. We've been at this for hours, and we've only found one cave crystal! We're never gonna mine a whole bucketful of them! And I'm gonna be-"
"Gonna be what, Gnarly?" Madeline asked.
"...Tired." Gnarly said nervously. "I'm gonna be tired from all this mining." He yawned loudly. "I'm gonna go rest for a while, girls. I'll see you later."
Gnarly walked off.
"That's strange." Sofia frowned.
"Yeah, I've never seen Gnarly act like that before." Madeline agreed.
"I think there's something wrong with him." Sofia frowned.
"What do we do?" Teeny asked.
"We find out what it is." Madeline declared, as she and Sofia followed Gnarly.
"Wait for me, guys!" Teeny ran after them.
As they followed, they saw Gnarly heading into the recesses of the caverns.
"Our kingdoms the other way." Teeny frowned. "Where's he going?"
"I don't know." Sofia shrugged.
"Let's keep following him." Madeline declared.
"Hello?" Gnarly called, as he entered the cave.
"You're back." Flinch noted. "Did you bring the crystals?"
"I tried, but I could only find one." Gnarly declared.
"Oh, this is not good." Flinch gulped.
"Listen, I thought if I told her the truth, maybe Grotta would understand." Gnarly told him.
"You thought what?!" Flinch laughed. "Oh, that's a good one! Do you know what happened the last time someone thought Grotta would 'understand'?"
"No." Gnarly shook his head. "What?"
"Put it this way: I wasn't always a mole." Flinch revealed.
"Grotta did that to you?" Gnarly gasped.
"Yeah." Flinch nodded. "Do yourself a favor and do what she says."
"Flinch, where are my throwpillows?" Grotta flew over. "So, the trembling Troll is back. Did you bring my crystals?"
"Listen, I tried mining for some, but I only found one." Gnarly revealed. "They're very rare."
"Ah, hmm, yes," Grotta took the crystal. "This makes me very unhappy. And when I'm not happy, nobody's happy!"
"It's true." Flinch told Gnarly. "I haven't been happy for two years!"
"You're going to bring me more crystals, and you're going to do it by the time this candle burns out!" Grotta told Gnarly. "And if I see it melt all the way down, and you still haven't brought me what I want? Boo-hoo, I'm coming for you!"
"Okay, okay!" Gnarly gulped, rushing out.
"We need to rethink this whole layout, Flinch!" Grotta declared. "Move the rock sofa back over there."
"Again?" Flinch protested.
"Ah-ah, Flinch!" Grotta waved her wand.
"I-I mean, right away, Grotta!" Flinch said nervously.
Outside, Gnarly bumped into Sofia and Madeline.
"Gnarly!" Sofia gasped.
"Are you okay?" Madeline asked.
"Sofia! Madeline!" Gnarly yelped. "You shouldn't have come. We have to leave, now!"
"Gnarly, wait!" Sofia told him, as he tried pulling them away.
"Why didn't you tell us about that mean little... what is she, anyway?" Madeline asked.
"She's a Fliegel." Gnarly declared. "And she said if I told anyone, she'd turn me into a salamander. What am I going to do? I just can't make a bucket of cave crystals appear out of nowhere. And I only have until Grotta's candle burns out!"
"Well, you can't make them appear, but we know someone who might be able to." Sofia smiled.
"Oh, but Grotta told me not to tell anybody." Gnarly groaned. "And now you want to tell somebody else?"
"It's only to get you those cave crystals." Madeline pointed out.
"And then everything will be fine." Sofia declared. "Don't worry, Gnarly. We won't let you get turned into a salamander." She took the bucket from Gnarly and handed it to Madeline. "Maddie, take this bucket to Mr Cedric and see if he'll help us. I'll stay here with gnarly and Teenie."
"I'm on it." Madeline nodded. "Be right back!"
In Cedric's workshop, Cedric was on a ladder, looking through his books.
"Cooking With Scrolls, Thursdays with Merlin... Ah, here it is!" He smiled. "How To Hex Friends And Enchant People!"
As Cedric reached for the book, he fell off the ladder, grabbing onto the railing.
"Mr Cedric?" Madeline then entered the workshop.
"Oh, Prospero's pickles!" Cedric groaned.
"Mr Cedric?" She called.
"Up here!" Cedric yelled.
"Oh." Madeline frowned. "What are you doing up there?"
"Oh, I was just practicing my levitation spell." Cedric lied.
"Well, could you maybe come down now?" Madeline asked, putting the spell book in the buck. "Sofia and I need your help."
"Give me one good reason why I should?" Cedric frowned.
"I'll get you the ladder." Madeline offered.
"That will do." Cedric sighed.
Madelien pulled over the ladder, and Cedric climbed down.
"Right, what is it this time?" Cedric asked.
"Do you know a spell that can conjure up cave crystals for my Troll friend?" Madeline inquired.
"Hmmm, cave crystals, eh?" Cedric mused. He checked a book. "Let's see. Cave crystals, cave crystals... Oh, yes. Oh, it's a piece of cake!" He pulled a candelabra, causing a book shelf to spin around, revealing several potions. "All I need is some diamond dust! Should be right next to the sapphire seeds... of course, here it is!" He picked up the dust.
Cedric poured the dust on the ground, than waved his wand.
"Powers of the Earth, above and below, conjure a pile of crystals that glow!" He chanted.
A flock of chickens suddenly appeared.
"Well, that's not right." Cedric frowned. He saw the chickens making a mess. "My workshop! Shoo! Shoo!" He tripped over a crate of potion flasks. "Oh shoo, you flightless flappers!"
The chickens left the workshop.
"What happened?" Madeline asked.
"Oh." Cedric looked at the bottle. "This isn't diamond dust." He sniffed it. "It's eggshell powder." One last chicken flew past his head. "Well, suppose that explains the chickens."
"Well, do you have any diamond dust?" Madeline asked.
"Hmmm, no." Cedric admitted. "I'm afraid I'm all out."
"But Sofia and I told Gnarly we'd help him!" Madeline frowned.
"Help him with what, exactly?" Cedric asked.
"This mean Fliegel is going to turn him into a salamander if he doesn't give her cave crystals!" Madeline revealed.
"A Fliegel?!" Cedric gasped.
"Yes." Madeline nodded.
"Oh, I've dealt with those bossy little cave-dwellers before!" Cedric pounded his palm with his fist.
"You have?" Madeline gaped.
"They think they're so powerful, but there isn't a Fliegel alive who can match wands with a Royal Sorcerer such as myself!" Cedric boasted.
"So... you'll help us?" Madeline asked.
"I am always happy to help rid the kingdom of a pesky Fliegel!" Cedric declared.
"Thank you, Mr Cedric." Madeline smiled. "You're the best!"
"Yes, I am." Cedric agreed, as they left the workshop.
They returned to the caverns.
"What's Mr Cedric doing here?" Sofia asked.
"He came to help." Madeline smiled. "Don't worry, Gnarly. Mr Cedric is a great sorcerer. He'll take care of Grotta for you."
"Are you sure?" Gnarly asked. "She's pretty powerful."
"Oh, poppycock!" Cedric snorted. "I shall make magical mincemeat out of that Fliegel!"
"If you say so..." Gnarly frowned.
In Grotta's cavern, Flinch was pushing the rock sofa.
"A little more to the left..." Grotta declared. "A little more to the right..."
"Yes, Grotta..." Flinch groaned.
"There, all done!" Grotta smiled.
"Finally!" Flinch collapsed.
Grotta flew over to a portrait of herself.
"This looks dreadful!" She declared.
"What?!" Flinch wheezed.
"Everything's in the wrong place!" Grotta complained. "Start over!"
"Start over?" Flinch gulped. "But... everything is made of stone! Really heavy stone!"
"Everything except you, my darling Flinch." Grotta smiled... then scowled. "But I can fix that."
"Ah, what should we move first?" Flinch stood up. "How about the two ton couch?"
"See here, Fliegel!" Cedric yelled, as the others arrived.
Cedric bumped his head on the ceiling.
"I am Cedric the Sensational, Royal Sorcerer to King Roland II." Cedric announced.
And Princess Sofia..." Sofia started.
"And Princess Madeline of Enchancia." Madeline ended.
"We've come to ask you to leave Gnarly alone." Sofia declared.
"More specifically, we came to politely tell you to leave him alone!" Cedric told her.
"Yeah, leave Gnarly alone!" Teeny growled.
"Or face my awesome power!" Cedric added.
"It's too bad I have awesomer power!" Grotta sneered.
"Uh, I'm not sure that's a word." Flinch spoke up.
Grotta tried to zap Flinch, who hid behind the sofa.
"Uh, I mean, it's the most awesomest word ever!" Flinch said nervously.
"Let's see what you've got, sorcerer!" Grotta sneered.
"Oh, you're about to, Fliegel." Cedric waved his wand. "Begonicus!"
Several chickens appeared.
"No, not again!" Cedric yelped.
"What happened?" Madeline asked.
"Oh, I forgot to wipe off the eggshell powder!" Cedric groaned.
"Commanda salamander!" Grotta zapped Cedric, turning him into a purple salamander, with an egg landing on him.
"Mr Cedric!" Sofia gasped.
"I told you before, Troll." Grotta smirked. "You do as I say, or else!"
"Oh, Mr Cedric, I'm so sorry I got you involved in this!" Madeline apologised.
"You're sorry?!" Cedric shook off the shell. "I'm the one who's a salamander!"
"It could have been worse." Flinch cringed.
"Now, don't you have some cave crystals to fetch for me?" Grotta asked Gnarly.
"But... but I told you, I couldn't find any more!" Gnarly protested.
"What about the ceiling stars?" Teeny asked.
"Shh, Teeny!" Gnarly hushed her.
"Ceiling stars?" Grotta gasped. "You get crystals on the ceilings of your caves?"
"You can't take those!" Sofia declared.
"They're our most precious possessions." Gnarly added.
"Well, they're going to be my most precious possessions!" Grotta grinned. "You know, I'd hurry. If I see this candle burn all the way down, and I don't have my crystals, it'll be the lizard life for all of you. And anyone else who tries to stop me. Now get out of here!"
The others rushed out of the cave.
"I guess I've gotta give her some of our ceiling crystals." Gnarly sighed.
"No, Gnarly!" Madeline yelled.
"There's got to be another way!" Sofia declared.
"Like what?" Gnarly asked.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Madeline stated.
"Me too." Sofia nodded. "Will you watch Mr Cedric for us, Teeny?"
"Sure!" Teeny took Cedric. "He's cute!"
"We'll be right back." Madeline declared.
"Hurry!" Cedric groaned, as Teeny hugged him tightly.
Sofia and Madeline rushed up to the castle, finding Miranda in the study, Baileywick beside her.
"Mom?" Sofia asked.
"Girls?" Miranda frowned.
"Do you have a minute?" Madeline asked.
"I always have time for you two." Miranda walked over to them. "What is it?"
"You see, we've got this friend..." Sofia declared.
"And there's this really mean Fliegel threatening to use her magic on him if he doesn't do what she says!" Madeline added.
"A friend, huh?" Miranda smiled. "Are you sure we're not talking about you, girls?"
"No, it's one of the Trolls." Sofia revealed.
"I see." Miranda mused. "Well, has this Troll friend tried telling this Fliegel to stop bothering him."
"It didn't work!" Madeline told her.
"Oh." Miranda frowned. "Has he tried going to someone in charge, like Chief Knuckles?"
"He's not supposed to tell anyone." Sofia declared.
"He has to." Miranda replied. "Then Chief Knuckles and the other Trolls can help your friend stand up to this Fliegel."
"Do you really think that'll stop her?" Madeline asked.
"I do." Miranda smiled.
"Okay." Sofia nodded, as she and Madeline hugged her. "Thanks, mom."
Sofia and Madeline rushed back out, waving to Miranda as they left.
Meanwhile, Gnarly was up a ladder, about to take chip out one of the ceiling crystals. But he suddenly stopped.
"Oh, I can't do it..." He sighed.
"Oh, do you ever sleep?" Cedric groaned, as the giggling Teeny followed him. "Stop! Get away from me, you clingy Troll!"
Teeny jumped on Cedric, and tied a pink bow around him.
"There." She smiled. "You look so pretty, Mr Cedric!"
"Oh, the humanity!" Cedric wailed.
Sofia and Madeline returned.
"We talked to our mom, and we think we know how to fix everything." Madeline announced.
"Including you, Mr Cedric." Sofia added.
"Finally!" Cedric groaned.
"Where's Gnarly?" Madeline asked.
"Right here." Gnarly walked over. "I just couldn't do it. I couldn't take our ceiling stars!"
"You don't have to, Gnarly." Sofia told him. "There's another way out of this. You have to get help from Chief Knuckles."
"But I don't want to get him turned into a salamander!" Gnarly declared.
"The only real way to deal with a bully is to get help." Madeline announced.
Suddenly, a beam of magic hit the bucket. Grotta emerged from her cave, holding the burnt-out candle.
"Time's up, Troll!" She declared. "This candle is finished, and so are you. I want those crystals now!"
"You leave him alone." Sofia stomped her foot.
"Yeah, back off!" Madeline growled.
"Oh, sorry, Princesses." Grotta sneered. "I'll pick on you two instead!" She waved her wand. "Capturus Princesso!"
Sofia and madeline were trapped in magic bubbles.
"Hey!" Sofia yelled.
"Let us go!" Madeline demanded.
"Now, I'm taking the Princesses back to my cave until you get those crystals from the ceiling." Grotta gave Gnarly the bucket. "All you have to do is bring them to me, and I will let them go."
"Don't listen to her, Gnarly!" Sofia urged.
"Remember what we told you!" Madeline reminded him.
"You won't get away with this!" Cedric told Grotta.
"That bow looks pretty on you, lizard lips!" Grotta taunted him, then flew back into her cave.
Cedric growled angrily.
"What are you gonna do, Gnarly?" Teeny asked.
"I'm gonna take Sofia and Madeline's advice, Teeny." Gnarly declared.
Gnarly made his way to Chief Knuckles' home. Inside, the Chief sat on a throne of pillows, two other Trolls on either side.
"You did the right thing, coming to us about this, Gnarly." Chief Knuckles stated.
"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner, Chief Knuckles." Gnarly sighed. "I was scared."
"No shame in that." Chief Knuckles smiled. "Any of us would be. But now your friends are in trouble, and you have to save them."
"I can't." Gnarly frowned.
"Don't worry." Chief Knuckles got off his throne. "We will all face the Fliegel together, Gnarly. But you have to lead the way." He handed Gnarly the bucket.
"Me?" Gnarly asked. "Why?"
"To show this bully of a Fliegel that she can't push you around." Chief Knuckles told him.
Back in Grotta's cave, she was barking orders at Flinch.
"Flinch, I thought I told you to pu up the mirror that brings out my natural beauty!" She scowled.
"I'm not sure such a mirror even exists." Flinch declared.
"Well, you'd better find one." Grotta snarled.
"Uhh..." Flinch frowned.
"Or would you rather be a spider, or an earthworm?" Grotta threatened.
"Neither." Flinch quivered.
"Do you have to boss everyone around?" Sofia asked.
"Well, how else am I supposed to get what I want?" Grotta asked. "Now, where is that troll?"
"Right here, Grotta." Gnarly declared.
"You shouldn't sneak up on people like that." Grotta snarled. "That's my job. Now, where are the crystals?"
"On the ceiling of the Troll cave." Gnarly declared. "Where they belong."
"Yeah, you see, one way or another, I'm taking those crystals." Grotta told him.
"No, you're not." Gnarly retorted.
"And who's going to stop me?" Grotta sneered. "You?"
"No, us." Gnarly declared, as the other Trolls entered the cave.
"What's this?" Grotta frowned. "Where did all these Trolls come from?" She flew upwards. "Stay back!"
"There's one thing you should know about Trolls, Fliegel." Chief Knuckles declared, as the Trolls advanced on her. "We stick together!"
"Get back!" Grotta waved her wand. "I'm warning you!"
Gnarly quickly covered the crystal with the bucket, making the cave dark.
"Ahh!" Grotta yelled. She started crying. "The light! Turn the light back on!"
"She's afraid of the dark!" Gnarly realised.
"Good thinking, Gnarly." Madeline smiled.
"I'm sorry!" Grotta wailed. "I promise I'll leave everyone alone! Just please make it light again!"
Gnarly lifted up the bucket.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Grotta declared, as the cave lit up again.
"Let Sofia and Madeline go, Grotta." Gnarly declared.
"Okay, okay." Grotta sniffed. "Let loosium!"
Sofia and Madeline were freed from their bubbles.
"And Mr Cedric." Sofia added. "Turn him back to normal!"
"Was he ever really normal to begin with?" Grotta asked.
"You know what she means, Fliegel!" Cedric growled.
"Uh, fine, very well." Grotta sighed. "Reverso!"
Cedric turned back to normal.
"Ah!" He pointed his wand at Grotta, who cowered in fear.
"Don't, Mr Cedric." Madeline told him. "Then we'll be just as mean as her."
"Mark my words, Fliegel, you haven't seen the last of me!" Cedric turned to leave, but hit his head on the cave mouth. "Why are Troll doorways so low?"
"You weren't very nice to our friend, Grotta." Madeline told the Fliegel.
"I think you owe him an apology." Sofia added.
"I'm sorry." Grotta declared. "I'm just so scared of the dark. I had to have those cave crystals!"
"Well, there are better ways to get what you want than bossing people around." Madeline pointed out.
"Really?" Grotta sniffed. "Like what?"
"Like asking them nicely." Sofia declared.
"She's right." Chief Knuckles agreed. "If you had just asked us, we might have given you some."
"But... no-one's ever nice to me." Grotta pouted.
"Because you're not nice to them." Madeline pointed out.
"Oh, okay..." Grotta mused. "Well, here goes nothing..." She flew over to the Trolls. "I know these caves belong to you, but is it okay if I stay and live in this one?"
"You forgot the magic word." Sofia told her.
"Abracadabra?" Grotta asked.
"Please." Madeline corrected.
"Please?" Grotta asked the Trolls.
"To tell you the truth Grotta, there's no way you can stay here." Chief Knuckles declared. "...Without a little more light." He held up a cave crystal. "Here. You can have my crystal."
"And mine." Another Troll smiled.
"And mine!"
"And mine!"
The trolls put their crystals in Grotta's bowl.
"Here." Gnarly added, putting his in too.
"Huh?" Grotta gasped. "You're giving them to me? Why?"
"Because it's the neighbourly thing to do." Chief Knuckles smiled. "And it looks like you're our new neighbour."
"I've never seen so much light!" Grotta smiled. "I don't know what to say!"
"You could start with 'thank you'." Sofia grinned.
"Thank you." Grotta nuzzled the bowl.
"Uh, excuse me." Flinch walked over. "But since you're being nicer and everything, I wouldn't mind getting turned back to normal."
"I suppose you're right, Flinch." Grotta agreed. "Reverso!"
Flinch changed from a mole to a red salamander.
"I thought you were going to change him back!" Madeline frowned.
"I am back!" Flinch smiled. "This is what I was before she turned me into a mole!"
"Oh." Madeline nodded.
"Well in that case, you look great." Sofia smiled.
"So cute!" Teeny rushed over.
"Uh-oh!" Flinch ran off.
"Thanks for helping me, girls." Gnarly declared.
"Anytime, Gnarly." Sofia said, as she and Madeline hugged him.
"Now, how would my new neighbours like to join me for cave moss tea?" Grotta threw open a cupboard.
"Ooh, my favourite!" Gnarly smiled.
"That would be marvellous." Chief Knuckles beamed.
"Wonderful." Grotta brought down a tray of teacups and a teapot. "Then sit right down and enjoy."
Sofia, Madeline and the Trolls sat on the rock sofa.
"Cave moss?" Madeline frowned.
"It's tastier than it sounds." Gnarly assured her.
Grotta served them all tea, as they sat together like real neighbours
