Shady was afraid of a lot of things...kisses, Eye contact, Fireworks, being naked and many, many other things.

However none of this made her skin craw more than the anonymous love letters that had been getting more creepier by the second.

It started out small, Flowery poetry in cursive handwriting that smelled nice but soon it turned to getting a bouquet of a dozen roses and the poetry started to turn more... disturbing, The poems seemed to be written in actually Blood! Along with some unsavory lines in them.

Shady might be a goth troll but even they have standards. Wanting to catch them, Shady decided to set a trap.

She set a small hidden camera bug in her mailbox and waited. The next day She looked through the bug and printed out the pictures to reveal an unknown Troll She didn't recognize having Lavender skin and sky blue hair.

Shady decided to get some outside help by going to the one person who had been in a similar situation.

Onyx: Hm, I've think I've heard about this Troll

Shady: Really, Who is it?

Onyx: It's a pop troll named Creek. My friend Branch knows more about him. If you'd like we can go to him.

Shady: Sure, the more knowledge I have on this guy the better.

Both Onyx and Shady headed towards Branch's bunker to see Him chatting with Poppy. Poppy noticed and waved.

"Hi Onyx,Hi Shady what are you guys doing here?" Poppy asked.

Onyx: Shady needs some information on a troll named Creek.

Branch eyes narrowed when hearing the name while Poppy Smiled.

Branch: He's a traitor!

"What Branch means, Is that Creek used to be a traitor! He's now a reformed one" Poppy stated.

Branch: Well we don't know that for sure.

"Branch! We already went through this! Creek's changed and he's been on his best behavior ever since!" Poppy stated.

Branch grumbled trying to think of a reply. Onyx raised an Eyebrow, both Shady and him were curious to know more about Creek.

Shady: What did he do?

Poppy: Well, Creek did sell us out to the Bergens in order to safe himself.

Onyx and Shady's eyes widened with shock when hearing that.

Onyx: Come again?

Branch: You heard Right, Thousands of trolls almost lost THEIR LIVES because of that smug snake!

Poppy: But in the end something good did come out of it!

Onyx: I find that hard to believe

"As you know Branch used to be a grey troll, but he got some of his colors back. If Creek didn't do everything that he did, Branch wouldn't have sung and gave me the courage to keep going." Poppy explained, Onyx and Shady were relived that everything turned out ok.

Shady: So, Creek's bad news?

Branch: That's one way to put it

Poppy: Well I believe Creek's changed, You should at least give him a chance.

Shady: I'll think about it

Both Onyx and Shady thanked the couple then left, "Why did you tell her to give Creek a chance, He's a wolf in sheep's clothing!" Branch asked after the two goth troll were out of sight.

Poppy: Not ever interaction is always Negative Branch.

Branch still had his suspensions though and decided to ask Shady a few questions later.

Shady decided to take Poppy's advice and ask Creek out. Going over to a nearby Yoga class she waited for class to be over to walk up to the troll.

Shady: Hey Creek? I got your letters.

Creek turned around his eyes widened with excitement when hearing Shady. "Really. Do es this mean you'll accept my offer to go on a date!" Creek asked excitedly.

Shady: Yes, But on one condition...

Creek: Sure what is it!

Shady: It has to be a double date.

"Oh, okay." Creek answered, "Who are the other couple we're going with?"

Laguna: I'm glad you decided to join me and Synth on our hunt for the rare and elusive Pop jellyfish!

Creek: What's that?

Synth: It's a Muh-Muhazing and awesome! Jellyfish that glows to the beat of Pop music!

Laguna smiled at Synth enthusiasm, "We plan on bringing it as a request by Poppy."

Creek nodded and watched Laguna walk over towards Shady who was putting on their helmet and started chatting with the object of his affection.

"Hey! Are you excited for the adventure!" Creek jumped, he turned to see Synth staring at him with a bright smile on his face. Creek wouldn't admit this to anyone but Synth always seemed...off to him, like he was trying to hard. Or hiding something.

"Yes. This should be interesting to say the least." Creek replied.

Synth:Yeah! Me and Laguna, We've been researching this for weeks! Even though it's a little dangerous.

Creek: Dangerous?

Synth: Yeah! Besides the Pop Jellyfish there's rumored to be a DJ kraken!

Creek turned pale hearing this. He quickly walked over towards Shady, wanting to convince them to not go through with the adventure however Shady dived head first in the water leaving Creek with no choice but to follow.

All four of them dived deep into the ocean Both the Pop and Goth troll were in awe seeing many different wonders of the deep.

All four trolls took a rest in a field full of school fish. Synth was swimming around happily with the other fished while Laguna was taken pictures.

Shady: So Creek, what are your hobbies?

"I like Yoga, Making/drinking tea, relaxing, peace" Creek answered. Shady nodded, despite the feeling of dread Shady decided to ask something that was on her mind the entire trip.

Shady: Creek, what made you want to ask me out?

Creek: It was during the fashion show, when I saw up on stage it just clicked...

Shady: Clicked?

Creek: Like I met my soulmate.

Shady's raised an eyebrow,not knowing what else to say.

"ROAR!"

Both Trolls jumped and turned to see Synth being chased by Huge Kraken with DJ headphones on. The Kraken was dark blue with each tentacle having a different shade of color in the rainbow, It was trying to catch Synth and Laguna. Both techno trolls were trying to swim away as fast as they could, Synth pushed Laguna forward and created a huge underwater tornado

Although it only pushed the Kraken back it gave both Synth and Laguna time to plan their next move.

Laguna: Guys we have to go! Me and Synth accidently  stole the DJ Kraken's baby!

Both Shady and Creek's eyes widened, and both got up and start swimming for their lives.

All four trolls swam quickly with Laguna leading them into a cave, the Kraken followed them and blocked the entrance.
"Everyone find another way out!" Laguna shouted and everyone quickly got to work finding a exit.

Creek luckily found a small hole to climb out of, looking back to see the other trolls still searching.

Creek then left without looking back, however he didn't take notice that Shady saw him leave.

"Guys I have an Idea, But Your gonna have to trust me!" Synth said grabbed Laguna and Shady's attention.

Synth: Close your eyes!

Shady: What?

"Just trust me!" Synth shouted swimming over to the DJ Kraken. Laguna shut her eyes however Shady kept hers open.

Synth closed their eyes before quickly reopening them. His eyes were red without highlights in them, Synth created a lasso made entirely out of water and tied the DJ Kraken tight before letting them loose. The Kraken spun out of out of the cave giving The Trolls time to escape.

Synth: Are you guys ok?

Laguna helped a fallen Shady up, "Yeah we're fine." Shady answered. They swam back to the surface, Both Techno trolls soon noticed the saddened look on Shady's face.

Laguna: Shady, what's wrong?

Shady: Creek... Ditched us.

Ok, I sort of cringed when I wrote Creek saying he met his Soulmate. Anyway I hoped you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you next time.
