A.N. WOW, three reviews already?! Thanks! Well, your wish is my command...

DISCLAIMER: TROLLS BELONGS TO DREAMWORKS! DON'T SUE ME!

With Suki, she was climbing over a particularly difficult root and managed to peek her head over the top.

"Wait...is that...a light?!" she exclaimed, and managed to study it for a few more seconds before she slipped and landed in a muddy puddle.

"Ugh..."

Suki shook her head to focus.

"That's GOTTA be his place! I need to alert the others..."

And with that, she sent up her hair with the brightest colors possible.

Pretty soon, everyone was there, and helping each other climb over the root.

"Is everyone accounted for?" asked Poppy when everyone was safely on the other side.

The Snack Pack nodded.

Satisfied, she went to knock at the door.

Meanwhile, inside, Branch was sitting by his warm fire when he heard "Branch! Branch! Branch! BRANCH ARE YOU IN THERE?!"

The teal troll sighed.

"Who could that be? As if I didn't already know..."

He got up and went to answer the yells.

"D-do you t-t-think he's ever g-gonna answer?" shivered Biggie.

His question was answered when the teal troll came into view, and though he was expecting them, looked shocked at their condition.

He was DEFINITELY not thinking they would look THIS bad!

Heck, Guy Diamond was shivering so hard glitter was flying off him every which way!

Branch slapped himself to break himself out of his expression.

"What are you doing out here?! Look at you! You're drenched! Come inside," he beckoned.

The Pack didn't need to be told twice, and rushed into the warm mini-bunker.

Branch shut the door and started pacing.

"Honestly, what is WRONG with you guys? I TOLD Poppy it was going to start pouring, but did she listen? NO!"

"BRANCH!"

He stopped.

"I'm sorry. You DID warn me, I didn't listen, and now we're all cold and wet. But shouldn't we put on dry clothes?"

The teal troll face-palmed.

"How could I forget? You're lucky you haven't started sneezing yet! Wait here."

He moved to walk off, but then it happened.

The other members of the Snack Pack, including Poppy, succumbed to a wild fit of coughs and sneezes.

Suki gave a sudden shiver, most likely from the puddle she fell in earlier.

Branch sighed, again.

"I guess I spoke too soon...okay then," he clapped his hands, "I want Biggie and Guy Diamond on the couch, Smidge, Suki, and the Twins in the armchairs, Poppy on an air mattress, and Cooper can sit in front of the fire."

They all went to their designated spots, sniffling all the way.

When they were all settled, Branch left to get some blankets and spare pajamas from the upstairs linen closet.

"Aw, man..." groaned Cooper, scooting closer to the comforting heat, "I haven't felt THIS bad in years..."

The others coughed or nodded in agreement.

It was true.

The only time they remember feeling as bad as they did now was when they were all around six and had all gotten Troll Pox...AT THE SAME TIME.

The other trolls at the time had said it wasn't a big surprise, since the friends were together until the sun went down.

Troll Pox was a classic childhood illness, and was very similar to our own chicken pox.

The only thing that made them distinguishable was that each troll had different colored spots that had to do with their skin color in some way.

For instance, Smidge had orange spots, Satin and Chenille had blue and pink respectively, Biggie (who was still quite big at six) had light blue spots, Suki had cotton candy colored that looked like Poppy's skin tone...see what I mean?

The one who had gotten it the worst was Cooper, since he quite simply could not stop trying to get out of bed.

To say the Pack was worried about him was an understatement.

Of course, all they really COULD remember from their bout was being in quarantine together, sleeping a lot and the ITCHINESS, so they just went on what others told them.

Soon enough, Branch's voice jolted them from their reverie.
