Chapter 9
Poppy and Branch finally caught up with Clay after running a few miles.
Branch: Clay...don't ever do that...again...!
Clay: No promises!
The gang took a good look at their surroundings, it was definitely something they've never seen before. And Poppy, being the master of party planning, knew that she could never pull something like this off.
Riff: Wait, are we done running?
Barb: Popsqueak, not even you could pull off something like this.
John Dory: Alright! Dance floor! Check out my smooth moves.
Everyone stared at John Dory when he got on one of the dance floors on the streets and started moonwalking. Poppy and Branch both covered each other's eyes.
Poppy: I can't unsee that.
Branch: Me neither...
Clay: ...Wait a minute, where's Floyd?

Floyd started blushing pulling his hand away letting the disco troll he just encountered put her cap back on. She had a sparkly blue sleeveless jumpsuit, blonde wavy hair, green eyes, and a kind look on her face.

Floyd: M-My bad, that was weird...I'll go now...
?: Wait wait...I don't think I've seen you around, what's your name?
Floyd: Um...Floyd.
Floyd shielded his face expecting to get slapped or cussed, but the disco troll just giggled instead.
?: I don't bite, I promise. Is there anything I can help you with?
Floyd: Well...I just just got separated from my family...see, my little brother's wife...her sister was brought here and we're trying to find her.
?: Oh...well, let me see if I can help you look around. My name's Destiny by the way.
Floyd blushed when Destiny took his hand leading him around Beatropolis.
Destiny: We don't get a lot of newcomers around here, but we've heard tales about the other existing Troll tribes. It's really nice to meet a Pop Troll, especially you, you seem really nice. Stay with me and you'll be fine.
Floyd: Uh...thanks?
Destiny: Floyd, right? I definitely want to learn from you. Don't get me wrong, I love disco and wouldn't trade it for anything, but I also want to learn about the other troll tribes.
Floyd: Oh, um...I'm flattered I guess.
Floyd looked at the ground, his face turning a bright red.
Destiny: Oh come on, you don't need to be shy, everyone here is friendly, they'll love meeting you.
Floyd: O-Okay...
Destiny: So where is your...sister in law?
Floyd: We don't know, but we know that she's around here. But considering how big this place is...we could be searching for weeks.
Destiny: Well, I don't know how much I could be, but I could help you guys look for her. I know the city like the back of my hand.
Floyd: Really?
Destiny: Definitely.
Groovy music suddenly started playing and one of dance floors lit up.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Destiny: Hey, dance break! Come on, Floyd, come show me what you can do!
Floyd: Wait, what?! But I'm a singer, not a dancer!
Destiny: Come on, everyone's got the groove, just show your best moves!
Floyd gulped nervously as Destiny dragged him to the dance floor.
Come on, come on, turn the radio on
It's Friday night and it won't be long
Gotta do my hair, put my make-up on
It's Friday night and it won't be long 'til I
Hit the dancefloor
Hit the dancefloor
I got all I need
No I ain't got cash
I ain't got cash
But I got you baby
Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
(I love cheap thrills!)
Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
(I love cheap thrills!)
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I keep dancing
At first, Floyd was just standing on the colorful dance floor not knowing what to do. Seeing how stiff and nervous he was, Destiny grabbed his hand and spun him around before leading him in a groovy dance.
Come on come on, turn the radio on
It's Saturday and it won't be long
Gotta paint my nails, put my high heels on
It's Saturday and it won't be long 'til I
Hit the dancefloor
Hit the dancefloor
I got all I need
No I ain't got cash
I ain't got cash
But I got you baby
Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
(I love cheap thrills!)
Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
(I love cheap thrills!)
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I keep dancing
Soon, Floyd started getting the hang of it and wasn't as shy as when he first started. He twirled Destiny around pulling her closer and dipping her before dancing with her at arm's length.
Destiny: See, you're getting it! That's the stuff!
(I love cheap thrills!)
(I love cheap thrills!)
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I keep dancing
Oh, oh
Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
(I love cheap thrills!)
Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
(I love cheap thrills!)
I don't need no money
As long as I can feel the beat
I don't need no money
As long as I keep dancing
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(I love cheap thrills!)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(I love cheap thrills!)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(I love cheap thrills!)
La, la, la, la, la, la
(I love cheap thrills!)
At first, Floyd didn't know how to feel. He was out of breath putting his hand over his chest trying to process what just happened.
Floyd: Whoa...that...that was...
Destiny: Groovy? Out of the blue?
Floyd: Y-Yeah...I think so...
Destiny couldn't help but laugh as she put her arm around Floyd.
Destiny: You're too shy, Floyd, but we'll fix that soon!
Floyd: Wait, too shy? But I just said that I sing, not dance.
Destiny: I know, but you need to loosen up and you'll be acing those dance moves in no time!
Floyd turned a full shade of red and tugged his bangs lightly.
Destiny: Now, about this search...
