*Previously on Trolls 3: A Human's Way to Happiness and Home!*

We disguised as a troll after we made it to Trollstopia and asked Poppy if she would follow us behind a bush. She agreed, but Branch insisted on going with her. We revealed ourselves to them. It took them at least five minutes to stop screaming. Poppy left for about three seconds and came back with two hug time bracelets. Mine was purple and Ambrosia's was pink. Ambrosia put hers on and turned into a troll. I put mine on and turned into a troll too. I looked
over at Poppy, Branch, and Ambrosia. They were staring at me with their mouths wide open. "Why are you staring at me?" I ask them. Poppy digs around her hair, pulls out a mirror, and turns it around so I could see reflection. I gasped when I saw myself. I was gray!

*Present*

"Why am I gray?!" I shout. "Ambrosia has color, so why don't I?!" Poppy pulled Branch to the side and they started whispering. Finally they turned back around. "So according to our calculations," Poppy stated.
"We can't really find a reason yet." Branch finished. "WHAT?!" I shout. "But we think we know who can, but first can you take us to the building that brought you here?" Poppy asked. "We would, but we don't know our way around here." I answered. Poppy thought for a second. "Okay new plan! We'll find those two other trolls and they should be able to help us find the building that brought you here."

"How are they going to do that?" I ask. "They have been here for over a year and will be here until Branch and the fuzzlings can find a way to send them back to the human world." I raised my eyebrow confused. "And your point is?"

"Since they came here from a building like you two, they might be able to help you find your building." Poppy explained. "Then once we find the building me and the fuzzlings can work on that one too." Branch finished. "Okay where are they?" Ambrosia asked. "They live in a beach house near our beach." Poppy said. We shrugged and started following them through the forest to the beach. It was about a 30 minute walk. We could have had the short cut, but I didn't want anyone to stare at me. Once we finally got there, I could hear music on the inside of their very beautiful beach house. It was mostly brown with some moss growing here and there. The porch had a little fence on the top coming back around to their brown door. On the ground was what looked like a garden. They had planter boxes growing blueberries, strawberries, grapes, and other fruits on one side of it. On the other side of it they had vegetables like cucumbers, celery, and carrots growing.

A/N: Here is a picture to show you the beach house looks like on the outside. Try to imagine the porch.

Here's a picture of what their garden looks like. Try to imagine the fruits.

We knock on the door. "Come in!" We hear someone say. Branch opens the door and we walk in. The inside is almost as beautiful as the outside. Their were beautiful white couches and chairs. A big flat screen TV hung on the wall and their was a coffee table in between the TV and white couch. In front of the TV was the same troll I saw earlier! He was playing some type of dancing game.

The music must have been coming through the TV. It was so loud Poppy had to shout to be heard! "Can you turn down the TV?" She shouted. The troll that was playing it didn't here her, so Branch walked over and unplugged it."Hey I was still playing that!" He groaned. "River do you know how loud you had that thing?!" Branch shouted at him. Oh so his name is River! "Branch no need to shout." Poppy told him. "Sorry was I shouting?" He shouted to us. "Yes!" We told him. "Sorry I'll be outside until I can here myself speak!" He walked out on the porch. That music must have been really loud! "Sorry! I told him to turn that down Poppy." I heard a voice. "Who said that?" I asked.

"My brother." River answered as the troll, who I assumed was his brother, walked into the room. The troll had dark blue hair that faded in to light blue on the top, light green eyes, dark green nose, and light blue skin. He was wearing a short sleeved shirt with yellow sleeves, that was teal on top and orange on the bottom. In the middle of the shirt was a green and brown turtle. Below the turtle were the words 'Turtles Rule!'. Lastly he wore a pair of brown shorts. They must have been the two trolls I saw earlier. "Ocean, River this is......" I walk over and whisper my troll name in her in ear.

"Esmerald!" She introduced me. Ambrosia walked over and whispered her troll name in Poppy's ear. "And this is Journey." She introduced Ambrosia - I mean Journey. Ocean and River waved at us. We waved back. "So you guys know how you got here from that strange buildings?" They both nodded. "Well these two just came here about an hour ago." She gestured to us. "And they need help finding the building they came from and then after they could use a little tour of the village." Ocean and River looked at one another and started whispering. By that time Branch had came back and said he could here again. He also said King Peppy wanted to see both of them. So Poppy gave Ocean a walkie talkie and told him to let her know when we found the building.

"Okay, so I guess just follow me." Ocean said after Poppy left. We followed him out and over to a rainbow troll pod. He walked up and knocked on the pod. "Who's there?" Someone called on the inside. "Ocean." Ocean said. "Ocean who?" The voice asked. Ocean groaned. "Will you open the door?!"

The door opened and a troll stepped out. "Come on!" He groaned. "That's the best you could do?!" Ocean rolled his eyes. "Adventure we can talk about your jokes later. For now I need your help." Ocean told him. "Fine what is it?" Adventure asked him. "I need you to read this map and take us here." Ocean pointed to a place on the map. "Fine, but you have to let me tell as many jokes as I want." Adventure said. Ocean rolled his eyes and nodded. This can't be so bad right? I thought. I mean how many jokes can this guy tell?

*5 minutes later*

This guy can talk! It seems like he's told us every joke in the book in just 5 minutes. I tapped on Ocean. "How many jokes can he tell in an hour?" I asked him. "About 100. And he's just on the jokes about Valentine's Day!" He told me. "Speaking of Valentine's Day..." Adventure started. Oh no! Here comes another joke! "Does anyone know how cupid visits his girlfriend?"

"No how?" Journey asked. "On an arrow-plane!" Adventure said then died laughing. Journey did too. After about an hour and a hundred jokes later we made it to the building. I thought Journey and Adventure were going to die laughing! Ocean radioed Poppy and told her where we were. Her and Branch were there in about five minutes after that. Once they got there they pulled me aside. "Okay so we think
we know why your gray." Poppy told me. "Just answer a couple questions."

"Okay." I agreed. "Question 1 how happy were you when you when you came here?" Poppy asked. I thought for a minute. "On a scale of 1-10 I'd say about a 2 1/2."

Poppy looked like she was going to pass out! Branch grabbed her arm to hold her up. "Okay that's all the questions!" He said and walked away with Poppy leaning on his shoulder. "Wait I thought you said a few!" I called to Branch. "I didn't say that!" He called back. "She did!" He gestured to Poppy. I shrug and walk back over to Ocean, River, Journey, and Adventure. Finally, Branch got Poppy to wake up and they both went over to me. "Sorry about that." Poppy apologized. "So where was I?"

"You were about to tell me why I'm gray." I reminded her. "Oh yeah." She realizes. "So, I know I said a few, but the question I just asked you helped plenty."

"So do you finally know why I'm gray?" I asked. "Well," she starts. "We think it might be because of how you were in your world. See, when you were in your world you must have experienced an overwhelming burst of sadness, so when you came to the troll world the sadness you had went into your troll self. Everyone knows that when a troll gets extremely sad, they lose their colors, which is what happened to you."

I looked at her. "So your saying the sadness I had in the human world transfered into my troll self and that's why I'm gray?" I ask. She nods. "The only way to get you to turn colorful is to make you happy." She explained. "And," Branch cut in. "We also think if we make you happy the buildings here might fix themselves and we could send you home."

"And that doesn't happen?" I asked. "Than we'll just have to keep trying." Branch answered. "Either way get ready to more joy and happiness than Branch felt at his gem day ceremony!" Poppy says with enthusiasm. This should be good!
