In the cave

"HA HA HA!" bellowed the enormous troll "foolish pathetic fairy, you think you can sneak past me?!" What the heck, thought Trouble, how could that stupid troll talk?! Trouble was about to ask it a question until Holly's outburst took the words from his mouth."How can you understand us and talk in complete sentences, you hairy beast!" yelled Holly."Hey, don't say that to me, I'm just doing my job!" sneered the troll. "Huh?" "I'm just doing my job." repeated the troll. "Ok... umm since your just doing your job and you have nothing against us, can you let us go?" asked Holly in a calmer voice. "Not exactly, but I can let you out of the cage." said the troll pushing a button that made the cage go up."And by the way my name is Phil." the troll said holding out his hand. "Pleasure." said Holly shaking Phil's hand.

Trouble was pacing around the cave thinking on how to ask a 8 foot troll how could his tiny brain handle talking Gnommish, without getting him self killed and/or severely hurt. About a minute passed with out anyone saying a word until Holly said "So... what do you do in here, because it must be boring to sit on your butt waiting for someone to come?"
Phil walked to the far side of the cave in three giant steps to a mass of vines hanging from the ceiling, he moved the mass of vines and reveled a whole shelf full of comic books. "Well I like to read comic books alot, but sometimes I like to clean my mat." Phil said grinning and pointing at a raggy mattress. Holly almost forgot Trouble was in the cave when he said "What kind of comic books? Spider Elf?"
"No not under ground comic books, I read above ground comic books." Holly and Trouble were dumbstruck. "Above Ground! How did you get above ground comic books!" yelled Trouble. "Op--- I mean my boss gives them to me, in return I guard this cave to her... I mean my bosses lab." said Phil with a innocent smile planted on his face. Trouble finally thought of a way to ask Phil how he could talk with out calling the 8 foot troll dumb.

"Ummm Phil, mind if I ask you a question?" asked Trouble. "Sure" Phil said returning the vines where they were before. "Umm where did you learn to talk?" "Well umm actually I'm not really a troll, I'm really a pixie in a troll body and I mean like my brain got transplant into this troll body."
"Ok... and who transplanted your brain to the troll's body." asked Holly. "I can't tell you but she... I mean my boss has one of the highest IQ in Heaven."
"Ok, well anyways umm what do we have to do to get pass you again" Trouble asked looking at Phil with wondering eyes. "Well you have to pay the toll like the sigh says or answer a rhyme.n
"How much is the toll anyways?" Holly asked heading to her pack. "I think the toll is to much but it's 30 coins." Phil said then he mumbled to him self "and I don't even get any of that."
Holly reached her pack and started to dump all the stuff she brought with her. On the floor was a bottle of mineral water, five energy bars, a vacum packed acorn (like the one in the second book of Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident.), a first-aid kit, some bronze, silver and gold coins, a hydrosion shell or as the faries call them fizzer (Just like the one in Artemis Fowl The Arctic Incident.) and a Neutrino 2000. Holly only had 11 gold coins 10 silver coins and 12 bronze, altogether that makes 15 gold coins. Trouble also dumped all his stuff and on the floor was a Neutrino 3000, seven ultra energy bars, a protein shake, first aid kit, a small bag of silver, gold and bronze coins, a pot, three pocket knifes with a spoon, fork and knife installed in it and the van's key. Trouble had 9 gold coins, 14 silver coins and 6 bronze coins.

Holly and Trouble exchanged nervous glances then look at Phil, now he was reading a copy of Spider Man. "What are we going to do? I only have 14 gold coins" said Trouble. "What about the one I gave you for the bet?" Holly said look through her pile for more coins. "I think i dropped it, my pocket has a hole. "Hey Phil, I dropped my gold coin somewhere can i get it?"
"Sure" Phil said turning the page. Trouble walked around the cave room for about three minutes until he saw a glimmer of light at the place where the cave droped on him.

Trouble walked over there a little tense because if it wasn't the coin they would have to answer a riddle, and none of them are good at at riddles. When he got to the spot he sighed with relief, it was the coin. He picked the coin up and ran to Holly, which was now eating a energy bar and reading a comic book called "Spider Girl".
"Found it" said Trouble raising the hand that had the coin. "Hey Trouble Mud-men comic's are good." she said taking a bite of her energy bar while still reading the comic book.

Trouble put on an annoyed face and took the comic away from Holly. "Hey why did you do that!" she sneered like a little child. "Ok lets get this money to Phil and be on our way." They gathered the money and gave it to Phil, Phil counted the money severl times then he said with a sad face "If you two serviev your mission can you visit me sometimes? I get lonely sometimes." Holly and Trouble smiled then said "Sure we'll visit you, if our commander let's us." and they turned and started walking away then they stopped and Holly turned around.

"Ummm Phil? Where do we go to your bosses lab, because i can't see any door besides the one that we came from." she asked. "Darn it" Phil said slapping his forehead "I forgot to tell you where the door is. Ah well I'll just show you now." Phil took two steps to his mat and bent down to push a small rock, then a wall of stone reveled a titanium door where Trouble and Holly were going. "Thanks Phil." then they went through the door.
