Branch smiled at the group of trolls he smiled. "Perfect timing everyone. I just finished the trap."

"How does it work exactly?" Clay asked.Branch smiled. " allow me to demonstrate. " he turned to Veneer "OK veneer are you in position?"

"Yep," Veneer said.

"OK, now walk ahead until you reach the patch of purple flowers."

Veneer nodded and headed to the patch of flowers, suddenly he tripped on something. He stumbled and fell onto a large mushroom.

Branch pressed the red button on Gary and the mushroom sprung up sending veneer flying and grabbing onto a nearby vine. He yelped as he swung through the air, his hand slipped and he landed onto a platform. Branch smiled and pressed a blue button, immediatly a platform raised up and started to move, it was kind of like being on a treadmill. Veneer gasped as he ran, juggling his legs to keep up with how fast the platform was moving. Branch pressed the blue button again and suddenly the platform was soaked by a pail of soapy water. Veneers feet slipped and slid as he tried to keep his footing he slipped and skid right of the platform straight onto a big trampolines which caused him to fly through the air and fall right into an open cage which slammed shut as soon as branch pressed the red button.

Branch turned to the group of trolls who clapped and cheered.

"My baby brother built the best trap ever!" John Dory cheered loudly.

Branch blushed and pressed the red open which made the cage door open and Veneer climbed out.

Floyd smiled as he looked at the trap in awe. Branch smiled. " I also rigged a trip wire around the village so that when velvet returns, an alarm will sound and we will know to run and hide."

Viva clapped "that is amazing branch."

Branch chuckled. He turned to floyd. Hopefully the trap would help Floyd feel a little safer and be able to sleep better without any nightmares.

That afternoon, Floyd returned to the bunker to grab a nap. He yawned hugely as pulled the blanket up to his chin. He yawned as his eyelids drooped. There was no more reason to be afraid. Velvet was as good as captured and soon. She would be back in jail. Floyd yawned again. He had set the alarm clock to wake him up so he could head to chez Dantes to eat with poppy, his brothers and Viva but for now it was time for a nap. His eyes closed as he fell asleep.

Floyd walked throughout trollstopia, he smiled he had just woken up from a great nap, not a single nightmare. He felt so much better. That was the best sleep he had had in weeks. He had woken up before the alarm clock went of. He had woken up 30 minutes early.

It's gave him more than enough time to take a brisk walk throughout trollstopia.

He smiled at the passing trolls val and holly. He waved at them. They smiled and waved back at him.

Floyd smiled as he headed towards chez dante he could smell the delicious aromas. His stomach rumbled the thought of a delectable meal from chez dante was....

The sound of an alarm went off. Floyd covered his ears the noise was deafening then the sound stopped and trolls ran in terror. Floyd quickly ran to where the trap was he gasped in horror, the trap... it was destroyed.

Laughter filled Floyd's ears. He turned slowly to see velvet holding a diamond perfume bottle. "You thought you could capture me. I'm the one who will capture you....all of you!" Floyd cried out in terror he ran to the bunker and tried to open the trapdoor, but it wouldn't budge.

"There's no where you can hide Floyd! My tracker will find you no matter where you hide. I will find you!"

Floyd ran into the forest he tripped and tumbled bumping against a perfume bottle, he yelped in terror backing up bumping into another bottle in panic Floyd leot past the bottles and ran. He came screeching to a halt. He was blocked by perfume bottles in them where his brothers. Already they looked as if they had been drained of their talent a hand grabbed him Floyd screamed waking up on the couch with a start. He panted in fear. He looked at the clock. He had slept for... only 20 minutes? He sighed and climbed off the sofa.

At chez Dantes a tired Floyd made his way to the table where his brothers: John Dory?, clay, bruce and branch were seated with poppy next to Branch. Viva smiled "hi Floyd. You made it in time."

Floyd smiled and sat between Viva and clay. At that moment classical trolls flew and gave them their meal which was chocolate soup.

Poppy gasped holly, the soup looked and smelt delicious.

Everyone began to eat their chocolate soup, well everyone except for Floyd. Who struggled to keep his eyes open and it was clear that Floyd had had another nightmare. The spoon clattered from his hand.

Branch sighed sadly looking at his sleepy brother.he had hoped that seeing the trap would get rid of Floyd's nightmares but it obviously didn't help at all.

"What are we going to do now?" Clay whispered.

"I don't know." John dory admitted.

"There's gotta be an answer to the problem." Poppy said"mayne.."

Suddenly there was a splashing sound and everyone looked over to see that Floyd had fallen asleep in his chocolate soup. John dory gasped and lifted Floyd's head out of the soup, yet despite having fallen asleep in his food,Floyd remained sound asleep.

Poppy took out a napkin and began to wipe the chocolate from Floyd's face.

Floyd mumbled sleepily as he snored.

Then slowly he slumped forward

.

Floyd walked around trollstopia,it was a foggy day he gulped nervously. He bumped into something and yelped in fear. He turned around cowering and then sighed with relief only seeing a tree. "Breathe Floyd, just try to relax." He said to himself.

"Yes Floyd, relax. And make it easier for me to capture you." Floyd jumped in fear and out from behind the tree stepped velvet holding a piece of the trap,smiling evilly,"although I do enjoy the thrill of the chase so...run!"

Floyd yelped as he ran into the fog. He panted then bumped into something. It was a diamond perfume bottle, and in it

Was john dory.

Floyd gasped in fear.

John dory banged on the walls of his prison. "Floyd! Run! Save yourself!" John Dory cried. Floyd ran as he ran he saw more diamond perfume bottles in which he saw trolls he saw boom,hype, ablaze,trickee,val,holly,cooper,guy diamond who was holding his son; tiny diamond,poppy,viva,branch,clay and bruce.

Suddenly a diamond perfume bottle rolled in front of him blocking his escape and more bottles surrounded him. Floyd panted and screamed. "Someone help me please."

He looked over to see rhonda in the water paddling towards him

"Rhonda here

Girl. Hurry!" He pleaded.

Just then Floyd felt himself fall he landed in a hand and screamed in fear, it was velvets hand. She sneered laughing cruelly and took the perfume bottle.

Floyd shot up with a cry. "No let me go vel....vet." He looked around. He was in chez Dantes. "What...what happened?" He asked looking around with chocolate dripping from his face.

"You fell asleep in your chocolate soup Floyd."Bruce replied as he wiped the chocolate from Floyd's face.

Floyd blushed feeling a bit silly, he then sighed he noticed everyone looking concerned and replied. "I'm alright guys. I'm just..." a huge yawn escaped from his mouth. "Just a bit tired."

"And no wonder." Clay said. "Ever since the entire 'velvet has escaped from prison news you have been having nightmares."

"I know." Floyd replied.

"And you haven't been able to sleep by yourself for days,and when you do try it's always the same,you wake up screaming from a nightmare."

"I know clay." Floyd said.

"And yet you try to go about your day and you can only sleep if..."

Floyd slammed his first on the table. "I KNOW CLAY I KNOW! ITS NOT MY FAULT IM HAVING THESE NIGHTMARES."

"Floyd!" Bruce scolded.

"We're trying to help you floyd." John dory said

"I..I know. I'm sorry bruce. I'm just cranky. I've tried so many things to help me when I try to nap. I've tried reading a happy story, talking to boom and other trolls about my fears, I've even tried singing myself a lullaby but nothing helps. I hoped that the seeing the trap would get rid of my nightmares but it didn't help." Floyd sighed. "Instead I'm even more afraid that if velvet arrives she will see the trap and destroy it. I guess I'm just a coward."

John dory placed his spoon down. "Floyd, you could never be a coward."

Floyd angrily slammed his spoon down. "No! I am! The more time goes by the more scared I get!" He got up and ran out.

"Floyd wait!" John Dory cried as he ran out the door. He could see Floyd getting smaller as he ran from chez Dantes. John dory sat at his table and slammed his fist on the table angrily.

Branch stood up. "Let me talk to him." He headed to where floyd had ran to.

Floyd threw a pebble into the lake.

"Floyd?" Floyd looked up to see veneer and crimp coming out of the cave. Veneer frowned seeing how upset Floyd looked. "Oh my are you alright." Crimp said.

"Oh yeah I'm great I love have nightmares about velvet that cause me to wake up screaming in terror." Floyd sarcastically said.

Veneer blinked. "Um... floyd are... are you being...sarcastic?"

"YES!" Floyd snapped. He then sighed seeing veneers hurt look. "I'm sorry. I just...I'm stressed. I haven slept in weeks. I want yo sleep but everything I try to sleep by myself.... It's always to nightmares. A twig snapped and Floyd yelped in fear. "Please don't capture me!" He screamed.

"Floyd,why would I wanna capture you?"

Floyd blushed, realizing that he had been terrified of branch.

Floyd sighed. "I really am a coward."

"No you aren't. " Branch said.

"Yes I am. I can't sleep without nightmares.i wish... I wish that I was brave like... like you. You went with poppy to Bergen town and ... and then there's all those times you saved poppy. You're the bravest troll I know. You were...fearless."

"I thought you were going to say that John Dory was brave." Branch said.

Floyd chuckled. "He's really brave too."

"Floyd believe me when I say I am not fearless. Listen to me. When I save poppy, and on my adventures with poppy, I did get scared. But you know I was more afraid of something bad happening to poppy. And that gave me motivation to help poppy." He inhaled. "Look Floyd I understand how scared you feel but being scared doesn't make you a coward. Fear sometimes can stop you from doing something really dangerous. Like, riding an avalanche. Look Floyd. I believe that you are brave. Listen to me. You ate braver then thought think and I know that I'd velvet did come you would be able to find your courage and face her."

Floyd hugged branch taking comfort in the words that branch told him.
