*meanwhile in the balloon*

*poppy and pinkie pie lean over the edge taking deep breaths while molly sleeps peacefully*

Poppy: ever get air like this back in ponyville pinkie?

Pinkie pie: not like this bestie not like this...

Branch: alright in a short 456 pages I'm gonna know how to fly this thing

Poppy: ugh branch! we don't need a giant, comprehensible manual for this

*pinkie yeets the book off the balloon*

Twilight Sparkle: uh poppy are you sure you know how to fly this thing?

Poppy: *scoffs*, of course, I know how to fly it how hard can it be?

*pinkie pie and poppy head to the control panel pressing buttons while humming*

Poppy: try this one

*the balloon flies in the opposite direction really fast out of control*

Shelia B: ALRIGHT POPPY AND PINKIE EASY ON THE BUTTONS!

Poppy: sorry!

*the mane 6 (Except for pinkie) feel like they're gonna be sick*

Poppy: So how did I do?

Twilight sparkle: never again are we letting you drive

*applejack hears something strange*

Applejack: uh do ya'll hear that noise?

Fluttershy: it sounds like it's coming from...*hides behind poppy*...There

*poppy and branch slowly walk over to the cotton candy pile and pull it back revealing biggie sleeping in it*

poppy, molly and the mane 6: biggie?

Biggie: Oh hello

Biggie: sorry, I couldn't help myself, you know how I get around cotton candy

*Mr. dinkles burps*

Biggie: oh dear now look what's happened Mr. dinkles got all gummed up

*Mr. dinkles squeaks as he's accidentally yeeted onto molly's face making her and Mr. dinkles fall off and stick to the outside of the balloon*

Biggie: *gasps* MR. DINKLES!! MOLLY!!

Molly: don't worry we're okay!

Biggie: Oh there you two are I thought you two were-

Molly: I know I know we're alright though

Biggie: oh right then I guess we'll be on our wa-HEY HEY!!!!

*biggie looks down and realizes he's in the hot air balloon*

Biggie: POPPY! PINKIE! WH-WHERE ARE YOU TWO BALLOON FLYING US?!

Poppy: we're on a mission to help barb and shadow unite the trolls

Pinkie pie: and we're so glad you came with us!

Biggie: I did what in the who now?

Branch: hey man join the club...

Poppy: and we hope you didn't eat all the cotton candy because barb and shadow are gonna love it!

*branch notices a flower on his barrel was crooked so he adjusted it*

Twilight sparkle (whispering to branch): uh branch dare might I ask why you're adjusting a flower on a barrel?

Branch: shh it's a secret twilight...

Poppy: uh branchifer?

*branch pushes twilight out of the way and leans on the barrel*

branch: uh y-yes poppifer?

Poppy: what's this?

*branch hops onto the barrel and lays on it*

Branch: Oh it's nothing, nothing that-that-that that's my man stuff

Pinkie pie: WE LOVE MAN STUFF!

*pinkie pie pushes the lid off to reveal weapons*

Poppy and pinkie pie: Weapons?

Poppy: ugh for shame

Branch: well i-i-

Poppy: violence never solves a problem branch!

*poppy throws the sharp stick into Mr. dinkles mouth, then biggie makes Mr. dinkles spit it out and branch catches the stick*

Branch: I'm not saying we should use them

branch: I'm just saying it's better to be prepared in case we need them

*molly teleports next to poppy and crawls into the barrel full of weapons*

Poppy: we won't need them unless- molly get out of there -unless these pointy sticks help you listen

*poppy picks up molly and lifts her out of the barrel and continues getting the weapons out while pinkie pie helps*

pinkie pie: or these rocks help you put yourself in somepony else's hooves

Poppy: and what about this? is this...what I, is this some kind of jewelry? ooh, it's actually kinda cool looking... ooh

*poppy said while holding up a pair of brass knuckles*

Branch: gi-give me that! we don't even know what's out there

*poppy understood as she threw off branch's guard before kicking the barrel full of weapons off the balloon*

Branch: wait! no!

Branch: aw man...by the way, I whittled those things for hours.

Poppy: branch the only weapons we need are this guy and this guy FOR HUGS!

*poppy said while flexing her arms and opening them for a hug*

Rainbow Dash: uh you guys? you may wanna take a look at this

*the balloon flies over a destroyed village*

Twilight Sparkle: This is gonna take a lot of hugs...

*poppy, branch, biggie, molly and the mane 6 step out of the balloon and look at the damage*

Branch: whoa...something gnarly happened here

Rarity: whatever happened?

pennywhistle: Hello?

*Branch got startled and ready to attack*

Branch: who said that? identify yourself!

*molly hears a strange noise over by a pond and walks over to see what it is*

luna: uh are you nice or are you mean?

Poppy: w-we're nice.. we're really nice

Branch: yeah but not too nice so don't even try it...

pennywhistle: okay

*a flute named pennywhistle, as well as luna (the princess of classical, voiced by Demi Lovato), came out of their hiding spots and they head towards poppy*

luna: oh hi

*luna said softly while whimpering*

poppy: Hey it's okay little sweetheart...

*poppy said shushing luna comfortingly while stroking the ali-human's head softly with her hand and picked up pennywhistle*

Poppy: what is this place?

pennywhistle: well it used to be called "symphonyville" 

*pennywhistle coughed in exasperation*

Luna: where the classical music trolls lived but that was in the before...

Twilight sparkle: what happened here?

Pennywhistle: well it was the most beautiful place you ever did see

*flashback*

*lively classical music playing, classical trolls chattering and laughing*

Luna: it was a place where all of the classical trolls could live in perfect harmony

*classical music continues*

Flashback pennywhistle: *laughs* ooh!

Luna: and wherever my cousin trollzart and I led, they followed

Trollzart: play, play *vocalizes* beautiful!

flashback luna: *laughs*

Pennywhistle: but then queen barb and shadow showed up

Trollzart: oh no!

*flashback luna gasps*

Queen barb: 'sup trollzart dude? we're here for your string!

trollzart: we will not go quietly!

*the classical trolls play Beethoven's symphony no. 5 in c minor*

*a classical troll plays a single note on the triangle*

*barb and shadow fake snore*

Queen barb (fake sleeping): mi mi mi mi mi

*princess shadow and queen barb stop fake sleeping*

Princess shadow: oh we're sorry w-we must have fallen asleep because your music is SO BORING!!

*Flashback luna scoffs in shock*

Queen barb: where are the words bro?

Princess shadow: right? NOW HAND OVER THE STRING!!

*playing a hard rock version of Beethoven's symphony no. 5 in c minor*

*the classical trolls stumble and flashback luna flies away and hides*

Trollzart: *sighs* no...

*barb snaps trollzart's baton in half revealing the classical string*

Luna: she took our string! our-our music, she took everybody

*end of flashback*

luna: we lost...*sniffles*...everything

Poppy: barb and shadow don't want to unite us...they want to destroy us

Branch: we have to make sure our own string is safe

Poppy: uh our string Is safe...

*poppy pulls the pop string out of pinkie's mane*

Branch: WHAT?! poppy are-are you crazy?

Pinkie pie: we thought it was a good idea at the time we-we can't believe another queen and princess would use their powers for evil!

Twilight sparkle: okay change of plans we need to get to pop village as fast as we can and get everypony into the bunker!

poppy: uh no! change of plans we have to stop barb and shadow from destroying all music! if we don't stop them who will?

Biggie: poppy you said this could be handled with hugs! how are we gonna hug our way out of this one?!

Poppy: it's okay biggie

Biggie: really? it's okay to be terrified? When am I gonna learn to stay away from the cotton candy?!

Rarity: *beginning to hyperventilate* what in Equestria are we gonna do?!

Poppy: no as your queen and friend me and pinkie pie promise to protect you and rarity no matter what 'cause we...PINKY PROMISE

*poppy said while holding up her pinky and pinkie pie holding up her hoof, biggie and rarity gasp dramatically*

Biggie: poppy, pinkie pie you both know you can't go back on a pinky promise!

Poppy: Never did, never will

*biggie, rarity and Mr. dinkles look at each other and nod in agreement linking his pinky and rarity linking her hoof with poppy's pinky and pinkie pie's hoof setting off a cosmic effect making the balloon fly away*

*Meanwhile with cooper*

*feels a powerful gust of wind*

Cooper: *gasps* a pinky promise! dang...

*Back with poppy, pinkie pie, biggie and rarity*

*the pinky promise is set*

Pinkie pie: let it be so

Biggie: and so it is

*branch and twilight groan*

Pennywhistle: this just got real...

*poppy and pinkie pie open the map of the troll kingdom and lay it out on the ground*

Poppy: we need to get to the country music trolls in lonesome Flatts before barb and shadow do and for that, we're gonna need some tracking power molly can-

*poppy turns her head to see that Molly isn't here*

Poppy: uh where did molly-

Molly: aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*molly dives into poppy's arms shaking in fear*

Poppy: whoa whoa molly calm down what's wrong did you see a rock troll?

Molly: no! I heard a strange noise over by a pond and so I followed it and when I got there a bubble popped out of the pond and a reflection showed up *Gasps for air* that wasn't my own reflection!

Poppy: what? can you show us?

Molly: okay come on!

*molly grabs poppy's hand with her teeth and leads her to the pond while branch, biggie, luna and the mane 6 followed*

Molly: right here is where I saw the reflection!

*twilight looks in the pond to see her own reflection*

Twilight sparkle: uh molly you might be hallucinating because there's nothing there

Poppy: hold on twilight let me check

*poppy looks in the pond to see another ali-human*

Poppy: what the?

*the ali-human bursts out of the water startling poppy and molly*

Poppy and molly: AH!

*poppy and molly jump onto pinkie's back shaking*

*it was princess beatstar of the techno trolls gasping for air*

Beatstar: oh thank trolly goodness I found an air pocket I was afraid I was gonna come across-

*beatstar looks up at the other trolls and panics*

Beatstar: AH! HARD ROCK TROLLS!!!

*beatstar teleports and runs in circles*

*Branch uses his hair to grab beatstar*

Beatstar: AH! DON'T HURT ME I DON'T HAVE THE TECHNO STRING!!!

Twilight sparkle: hard rock trolls?

Branch: techno string?

Poppy: wait hold on...Branch let her go! that's molly's techno sister!!

*branch reluctantly lets go of beatstar making her duck and cover her back with her wings*

Poppy: no no no no! don't be scared! we're not here to hurt you, we're not hard rock trolls!

Beatstar (peeking from her wings): really?

Pinkie pie: of course not we're ponies, pop trolls and classical trolls

Beatstar: wait

*beatstar slowly gets out of her hiding spot and lays her eyes on luna and molly*

Beatstar: sisters!!

Luna & molly: SISTER!!!!!

*the 3 ali-humans embrace a warm hug* 

Fluttershy: aw that's so cute

Branch: where did you come from?

Beatstar: I'll show you...

*beatstar pulls out an orb that turns the mane 6, biggie, branch and poppy into sea ponies*

*beatstar leads them to a destroyed techno reef*

Poppy: oh my troll what happened here?

Beatstar: barb and shadow raided in on a party me and my brother were doing and she destroyed the place and kidnapped my brother...

Rarity: who is your brother darling?

Beatstar: king trollex of the techno trolls...he told me before he was kidnapped was to find my other four sisters and to use their strings before barb and shadow found them but since luna's string was stolen we just don't have enough power unless we have our other sister's strings

Poppy: we got no time to waste then let's go!

*beatstar uses the orb to turn the mane 6 biggie, branch and poppy back into ponies and trolls*

poppy: will you come with us?

Pennywhistle: oh no someone has to rebuild and pennywhistle is that woodwind for the job

*pennywhistle pushes some dirt to make it stack while Luna puts a little hard hat on pennywhistle's head*

Luna: good luck pal...

Pennywhistle: goodbye your highnesses!

*pennywhistle sighs*
