"Poppy, you can't be serious," Sora said.
Before anyone knew what happened next, Poppy had gave them all a new set of clothes. Each of their new outfits followed a color scheme of red, yellow, white, and pink. Branch's clothes are now white with a yellow stripe going down each of the short legs, and a pair of pink sunglasses with a yellow rim. Poppy's new outfit has yellow and pink striped spots on her dress with purple foot warmers and the same, matching pair of sunglasses. Biggie has red pants with a big, yellow 'b' on his behind, with a red striped vest and the same pair of sunglasses. Mr. Dinkles has a red top hat and a gold chain.
Sora's new outfit has mostly the same red colors, but with a white stripe down the sides of his jacket and the same pair of matching sunglasses. Donald has a new, white hat with a red stripe where the zipper is, along with a small pair of sunglasses like Mr. Dinkles, and Goofy has the same sunglasses and a yellow hat with a pink stripe on it.
Each of them has an ear piece microphone in their right ear. Branch's colors also reverted back to the way they were when Sora last saw him, bright and vivid.
"Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want!" Poppy started singing.
"So tell me what you want, what you really, really want," the others joined in, Sora, Donald and Branch confused.
"I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want!" Poppy sang again
"So tell what you want, what you really, really want." The others added background vocals to Poppy's song. "I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really, really wanna ziga-zig-ah!"
"Who, who, who who?" the boys started singing.
"Who let the dogs out?" Biggie started.
"Who, who, who, who?"
"Who let the dogs out?"
"Who, who, who, who?"
"It's such a...good vibration!" Poppy started again
"Come on, come on, come, on," Sora and Branch added.
"It's such a...sweet sensation!"
"Oppa gangnam style," Sora, Branch and Biggie sang.
"Oh, oh, oh, oppa gangnam style," they all sang.
"Oh, oh, oh, oppa ganganm style." Sora and Biggie sang. Biggie did a split, Sora pulling his attention off of Biggie. "Hey, pretty girl, whatcha doin' tonight," Branch sang. The rest of them added backup from the last song. "I wanna see what you've got in store."
"Party rock is in the house tonight," all but Poppy sang.
"Come on, everybody!" she called.
"Everybody just have a good time."
"Where you at, partiers?" Poppy asked.
"Party rock is in the house tonight, we just wanna see ya-"
"Tell 'em, Poppy," Branch said.
"Shake that," they all finished.
"You guys, that was awesome!" Poppy cheered. Sora flinched when he saw all their clothes reverted to normal again. "What the-?"
The Country Troll, who apparently has a small hat and a star badge, locked them into prison. "That's for breaking music laws. You'll just stay in there and think about what you've done," she said in a southern accent.
"What?" Sora cried. "But I've never been in jail before!"
"I knew it," Branch said, "Who Let the Dogs Out...too far." He put his hands on his hips.
"Guys, I'm sorry," Poppy said. "I thought that'd go better."
"It's okay, Poppy," Sora said. "Your optimism-"
"Got the better of you," Branch interrupted.
"I was gonna say had a great idea," Sora said, glaring at Branch, "but their hearts weren't in it."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Poppy said. "But I got us captured twice in six months!"
"I have a plan," Branch said. He pulled a metal pole from his hair with a shovel head on it. He pulled out the bottom and the handle and held it up heroically. "We can dig our way out of here!"
Biggie used Mr. Dinkles to dig next to Branch. Mr. Dinkles, apparently, was eating the cotton and spitting it out when Biggie pulled him out of the hole. Donald and Goofy helped as well. Sora sat on the floor, near the shade, to stay out of the heat, and Poppy walked over to the door.
"Hmm?" she asked, squinting and putting her hand up to block the sun. "What is that?" she muttered.
The shadow came into view. Its another Country Troll. His legs are blue, his skin green, and his tail and hair are orange. He is wearing a rather tall hat and eating a piece of straw. "Stand back," he said.
Poppy moved away from the door. The Troll turned around and kicked the door off its hinges with his back feet. The door crashed inside, leaving dust everywhere, and inside the hole. "Branch! You can stop digging!" Poppy said, Branch, Biggie, Donald and Goofy peeking out of the hole. "We're being rescued!"
"By who?" Donald asked.
"Well, does it really matter?" Poppy asked, sitting on the Troll's back. "I mean, he's saving us."
"Poppy!" Sora cried.
"Everyone hop on," the Troll said in a southern accent as well. "And let's ditch this place."
Sora, Branch, and Biggie hopped onto the door that he strapped to his body. Donald and Goofy jumped on Sora after, burying themselves in his hair, but out enough so they could see. "Hang on!" the Troll called. He started running, jolting the door and nearly knocking off Sora.
Branch pulled him back on. The Troll jumped over a large rock. "Sora!" Donald cried. "Heartless!"
"They're here too?" Sora cried.
"Seems so!" Goofy called.
"I got it!" Donald said, summoning his staff. He shot a few fireballs at the Shadows, covered in green fur with glittery eyes still. A few fire Heartless appeared, which Donald shot with ice. "Sora!" Goofy cried. He threw his shield behind them, knocking over a few Heartless.
"These things are cute!" Poppy called.
"Now's not the time, Poppy!" Sora cried.
"Sorry!" Poppy replied.
Branch slipped off the door. "Aah!" he screamed. Sora grabbed his hand and tried to pull him back on. "Hang on, Branch!" Sora cried.
"I'm trying!" Branch said.
"Goofy, Donald! Cover me!" Sora called.
"Right!" they both replied in unison.
"You're slipping!" Sora cried.
"Use your hair!" Branch called.
"I-I can't!" Sora replied.
Branch grabbed onto Sora's hand with his other hand, just before his hand slipped. "Sora!" Branch cried.
"I don't know how to use it!" Sora cried.
"Sora!" Donald called. "They're getting closer!"
Sora looked to see both Heartless and the Country Trolls chasing them down. One of them has a mouth full of rotating teeth. Branch's hand started slipping again. "Oh, come on, Sora!" he muttered to himself. "You can do this! You've partly done it before, you can do it now!"
Branch's hand slipped. "Branch!" Poppy cried.
"Come on, come on!" Sora cried. He closed his eyes and pictured the ledge from Bergen Castle. He willed his hair to reach out to it. He felt a little tug and opened his eyes. "Sora!" Goofy cheered. "You did it!"
Sora glanced back up to see Branch holding onto Sora's bright, red hair. "Ha, ha! I did it!"
"You did it!" Branch cheered.
"What did you say?" Sora asked. Branch hesitated. "I hope you Pop Trolls can swim," the Country Troll said, jumping over the side. Sora pulled his hair back in, Branch climbing back onto the door.
The Country Troll untied the rope, the door continuing the slide down the cliff. The Trolls looked down and screamed. Sora hugged Biggie, Donald and Goofy holding onto Sora's hair. Poppy hugged Branch. The Country Troll just held his hat on.
Author's Note
"I feel bad for them," she said genuinely. "It looks like they got beat up by a rainbow."
