Branch: Clay?

Clay sat near a fountain with his arms crossed, he did not look happy.

Clay: Can't believe she said that...Viva's her own person, she needs to understand that she's her sister, not her owner.

Branch: Clay.

Clay suddenly jumped when he heard his little brother's voice behind him.

Clay: Oh...hey, Bitty B.

Branch: Here, you dropped this.

Branch took the ring box out of his hair and handed it to Clay.

Clay: Thanks, Baby Branch, but...I don't think I'm gonna need it.

Branch: Why not? Don't you feel ready?

Clay: More than ready, but...if Viva's choosing to stay here, then...maybe doing this won't be the best idea...I'm not that great with long distance relationships. Plus, it would make things really complicated.

Branch: Well...you do have a point there, but I don't think Viva's dumping you...don't listen to John, he's just trying to make you feel bad.

Clay: Pfft, I know that, you act like I don't have 4 brothers.

Branch chuckled and sat next to his older brother.

Branch: Join the club, Clay.

Clay: Yeah...but, Bitty B, I have a feeling that...something's not right here.

Branch: ...What do you mean?

Clay: Like Poppy said, Viva said she wanted to stay here...but she wouldn't have agreed if...well, if she wasn't offered something.

Branch: Something like what?

Clay: Viva's a very cautious Troll, she doesn't jump to new places just like that...something must've lured her here and...well, lately, she's been daydreaming so much about being famous one day. If I didn't know any better, I would say that maybe she is in real trouble, and she doesn't even know it.

Branch hadn't thought of it like that, he had to tell Poppy about this theory and Viva's wellbeing...wait a minute, where was Poppy?!

______________________________

Viva pushed Poppy behind her in a protective manner.

Viva: How'd you find us?!

DJ Slick: Well, it's not that hard when you have speakers underground.

The girls looked around and gasped, there were speakers underneath the city! Their voices were projected and they were located!

DJ Slick: It's how we get the big vibes here in Beatropolis...and how to find escaped prisoners!

Poppy: Uh...Viva?

Viva: Poppy, don't say anything, I got it from here!

DJ Slick: Awwwww how sweet, you found your little sister again!

Viva: Yeah...I did, and we talked it out. Listen, pal, I know someone who tried to do the same thing you're doing! She tried to turn the entire Troll Kingdom into one nation of rock! You're trying to turn the forest into your own personal dance floor when you already have a blinding city of lights! Don't you think that's a little messed up?

DJ Slick: Nope!

Viva: Then you have no conscience, if this is about getting revenge on the Funk Trolls, I can tell you right now that you're only hurting yourself!

Poppy: Revenge...? So you kidnapped my sister just for revenge?

Viva: I wasn't kidnapped, Poppy, apparently I was blinded by my own desires and I fell right into their trap!

Poppy gasped putting her hands over her mouth, they really took her sister for a ride!

Poppy: No one does that to my sister!

Viva had to hold Poppy back so she wouldn't do anything she would regret.

Viva: Poppy, no! I got this!

Poppy: Huh...?

DJ Slick: Pfft, pathetic! Your sister's a madwoman, chica, let's get back to work! We've got a big show tonight!

Viva: No...we don't!

DJ Slick: Yes we do, you're the main star of the show, isn't that what you wanted?!

Viva looked at Poppy who appeared to be terrified, then she looked back at the DJ and shook her head.

Viva: If it means leaving my family behind, then no!

DJ Slick: What?!

Viva stripped off her silver jumpsuit revealing her sweater romper underneath, then she tossed the jumpsuit to the DJ and it landed right on his face.

Viva: I quit!

Poppy: Viva...?!

Viva: Come on, Poppy, we're going home!

Poppy stared at Viva in shock as she grabbed her wrist and began navigating the underground.

DJ Slick: You'll be sorry, you can't back out of this!

Poppy: Vivi...are you serious?! I never asked you to give up your dream, I was just shocked.

Viva: I know...but I don't wanna do something that involves having to give up being with my little sister. I'd rather be home with you and Dad.

Poppy suddenly remember something and face palmed.

Poppy: Oh my gosh, Dad...

Viva: What?

Poppy: ...It's best you don't know.

A low rumbling suddenly stopped the girls in their tracks, they looked around trying to figure out its source and what was going on.

Poppy: Uh...Viva, what's goi-

Viva: POPPY!!!!!!!!!

Poppy turned around slowly and gasped when she saw Viva trapped in a clear ball.

Poppy: No no no no no!!!

She started feeling around it hoping to find a keyhole or an opening, nothing.

Poppy: What just happened?!

Viva: That disco psycho zapped me with his scepter!

Poppy: Scepter?!

DJ Slick: Yup, and this baby works like a charm!

Poppy gasped when she saw DJ Slick nearby with the scepter he had shown Viva earlier.

DJ Slick: If you don't wanna end up like your precious sister, I say you get out of here!

Poppy turned to Viva putting her hands on the clear ball.

Poppy: I'm not leaving you, Viva! I left you once and look what happened!

Viva: Poppy...I don't think you have a choice.

Poppy: What?! No, if we don't leave now, you know what he'll do!

Viva: I know, and I'll find a way out of this...but you should go before you get captured too!

Poppy turned to the DJ who was pointing his scepter right at her, then she turned to Viva who had her hands up against the clear ball.

Viva: Please, hermanita, run while you can...get help...and give this to Clay.

Viva took a necklace off and handed it to Poppy through a tiny hole.

Poppy: ...What is this?

Viva: Trust me, Poppy, it's not a gift, it's a loan. Use this when you really need it.

Poppy looked down at the necklace in her hand and nodded.

Viva: Please go, Poppy...save yourself.

Poppy sighed and nodded, she gave Viva and air hug before speeding through the caverns hoping she would find a way to save her sister from the Disco Trolls' clutches. Viva blew a kiss as she watched her little sister vanish into the caverns.

DJ Slick: A wise decision...now, let's get down to business.

Viva glared at DJ slick as he smiled maliciously at her, she knew what he was planning, but she knew that he would be stopped now that she and Poppy reconciled.
