Cobblestone fixed the position of the mirror, then his hair. Every detail counted in this moment; everything needed to be perfect. This was his first official job and if he messed this up, his entire career would be ruined. He took a deep breath.

"Alright, Cobbie. You've got this! This will go great! You'll walk on that stage and show your true colors!" His smile faded when he saw the scar on his eye.

He stood, fixing his hat. He grabbed his mask and put it on before leaving.

"Yeah...You've totally got this."


Author Note/Forward: First off, DON'T TAKE THIS AS A SHIP! It may seem like it heads that way at first, but it's not meant to be a romance story or anything. (More of a one-sided romance but they can still be friends sort of thing) Also, heavy Trolls: Band Together spoilers ahead! Read at your own risk!

Alright, the Author Note time: As a fan of Trolls since the first movie, I am really happy to see how the fandom has grown. I will be making references to the other two films, shorts, and shows, but this will mainly focus on the third movie and characters from the third movie. I apologize for the short prologue (I'm still getting the hang of writing them ;), but I will try to not make this TOO spoiler heavy so fans of any version of Trolls can read it weather they have seen Band Together or not. (I said I'll try. That doesn't mean I'll do a good job about that lol)

An update: This story is still a work in progress, so it may go on a lot of hiatuses as I work on more of the story. I'll be sure to put weather it goes on hiatus or not in the summary so people won't pester me about finishing (like people have done on draco70's Komi Can't Communicate story [which was pretty rude by the way]). I'll also work on a cover soon, so expect that!

Another one (almost done!): Okay, the main character (or one of them) is Shi (my Super Dimentio), but they are a completely separate person in this AU! (That makes it count as an OC...right...? Eh, whatever. I'll still mark as a crossover.) Some aspects of the character have been transferred over to keep them close to how they are, but I have made a few changes. (Like, since they aren't a fusion anymore, their pronouns are he/him.)

Last one (finally!): This is heavily inspired off of an episode of Little House on the Prairie, including Cobblestone's backstory. (The only part I remember from that episode is that a kid accidentally set off a firework in the barn, but that's all I need for this.)

Sorry for the really long Author Note, guys! But as always, Stay Fresh, Don't get cooked, Stay off the Hook, and Catch ya later!
