MMMystery on the Golden Train
At the Eat & Cook family restaurant, Aggie was currently with her uncle Vic and her aunt Salome in the main restaurant room, gazing at something that was freshly made in the still-being-repaired-kitchen after the events of Aggie's driving lessons, while her friends were helping out with cleaning up the demolished wall and with some of the repairs.
On a table, resting under the limelight, was a giant 4-layer cake, possibly the tastiest cake any Troll has ever seen! It stood tall, with the bottom layer made of vanilla cake with silky smooth buttercream filling filled with strawberries, smothered with a cream cheese frosting and decorated with a myriad of blueberries and blackberries. The layer on top of it, a bit smaller than the bottom layer, was a lovely chocolate cake with mousse filling and chocolate chips inside, and it was covered with silky vanilla frosting and decorated with silvery glitter sprinkles and rainbow sprinkles. The layer on top, smaller than the other two layers, was a delectable ube cake filled with marshmallow filling, and frosted with strawberry frosting, and decorated with candied strawberries and watermelon gummies. Finally, the last layer, the smallest of the four, right on top, was a yummy red velvet cake with coffee buttercream filling and caramel crunchies in the filling, and it was frosted with chocolate frosting and decorated with a dollop of whipped cream, and a cherry right on top.
Aggie was looking at the cake in amazement, saying, "Neopolitan Flavor Filling Rainbow Wonder"!
Aggie stepped back and stood by her aunt and uncle, saying, "You've really outdone yourselves, Aunt Salome and Uncle Vic! This is sure to be the winning entry of this year's Harmonious Land Desert Bake-off"!
"Awww, well, thank you, Aggie," Salome commented in reply while hugging her niece.
"And thank you so much for volunteering to transport it all the way to Trollnila for us," Vic added while ruffling his niece's hair.
Aggie giggled and took a minute to fix her hair while saying, "No problem at all, Uncle Vic! It's my honor-,"
Then, Branch stepped in, saying, "Uh, Aggie? Pardon me a second, but think we could maybe get things moving? The cake looks a bit heavy, right, Buckaroo"?
Buckaroo, who had volunteered to be the one to carry the cake, was balancing it on their back, but it was really heavy, even for them, as they struggled to stay upright while saying, "Eeyup, it sure is, y'all."
"Alrighty then, Buckaroo," Aggie said before placing on a blue helmet with a red siren that started to flash on and off, adding, "To the train station"!
Aggie slowly walked backwards while ushering Buckaroo to walk forward carefully outside, where it was still nighttime. Beside them, a whole line of barricades were set up so none of the other MMTs could cross over until they made it to the train.
Buckaroo walked as slowly and gently as they could, making sure they kept her balance so the cake wouldn't fall.
Aggie reassured the detective, saying, "That's it, Buckaroo. Nice and slow. This is very precious cargo you're carrying."
On her back, the cake gently shook side to side slowly, but luckily didn't topple, but that didn't stop Salome and Vic from being nervous, with Vic saying while watching the cake, "Yes. It took months of planning and testing to make the perfect recipe."
Salome added nervously, "I would hate for that cake to-,"
Suddenly, Buckaroo took a wrong step, and felt their leg tweak, which caused the weight of the cake to fall forward. But quickly as they could, they were able to stand upright and balance the cake just right so it wouldn't fall.
That near-catastrophe incident made Vic and Salome really nervous, as they both said in unsion, "Fall," while vic fainted and fell backwards.
Aggie didn't want her Magic Disco aunt and uncle to worry, as she said, "Don't worry, Aunt Salome and Uncle Vic," while looking around to see a way she could help keep the cake safe.
Then, she saw Dante and Minuet hovering by the barricade, watching what was going on, and got an idea, asking them, "Dante? Minuet? A little Classica-ssistance"?
With their help, Dante and Minuet both tied ropes at the ends of the plate the cake was on, so that way, if the cake looked like it was gonna fall, they just had to tug on the rope to keep it safely balanced.
Dante, at the moment, did just that, and it was helping to keep the cake upright on Buckaroo while they continued to walk to the train station.
Aggie felt really relieved that this was working, as she stated, "I'll get the cake there safely, you'll see"!
Salome and Vic were both sweating nervously while feeling really worried about the safety of the cake, but did their best to put on a brave face, with Salome saying, "Of course, Aggie."
"We never doubted you," Vic added with a hesitant smile.
Suddenly, Minuet could feel the cake slipping and tried to pull on the rope to keep it up, but it was too heavy, as Dante had to rush over to her side and pull on his rope as well to keep the cake from falling. Back upright once again, the cake was safe, but that made both Salome and Vic incredibly nervous again, with Vic fainting and falling backward again.
Aggie was looking around for another solution before she saw McJagger reading a book by the barricade and asked, "McJagger? Could I see you a second"?
With McJagger's help, he used his funk remote to make a forcefield out of Funk energy that surrounded the cake as a protective shield.
"A nice protective shield for extra insurance that the cake will arrive on the train nice and safe. Better safe than sorry, am I right," Aggie commented.
"Thank the many wonders of Funk energy and its expertise," McJagger added while spinning the remote on one finger before holding onto it firmly.
However, he saw Salome and Vic walking up beside him as the two Magic disco Trolls were worried that if the cake fell backward on them, it would splatter on the ground behind them.
Aggie seemed to notice this too and felt worried, looking for another solution.
She spotted Synth and Stereo together and smiled, saying, "Synth? Stereo? One last thing"?
Synth and Stereo were walking in front of McJagger, but behind Buckaroo, carrying a large black trampoline with a red dot on it, so in case the cake slipped backward, it could bounce off the trampoline and return back upright.
Aggie saw that they were almost at the Golden Express train station, where the Golden Train was waiting for them. She smiled, sighing a breath of relief, before declaring, "Ok, every Troll! We're in the home stretch"!
Salome was biting her lower lip, praying they could just make it safely, while Vic was hyperventilating, breathing back and forth deeply and very fast.
Safely on the train station platform, Aggie said, "See, Aunt Salome and Uncle Vic? I got it here without a hitch"!
The train conductor opened the door while Aggie said, "Now, all we have to do is get it-," before she saw that with all this protective stuff, there was no way the cake was gonna easily fit onto the train, making her nervous ask, "In"?
Vic, once more, fainted and fell back in nervousness.
Luckily, some of the MMT workers were able to help safely lower the whole wall of the train cart so that way, the cake could be safely brought inside before they raised the wall again and hammered it back into place.
On the train, with the cake safe and sound, Aggie sighed in relief while her friends who volunteered to go with Aggie: Buckaroo, McJagger, Dante, Minuet, Synth, Stereo, Smidge, Val, Branch, and Holly, were with her on the train.
"Thank you all for helping me get the cake safely onto the dessert car," Aggie said to her friends.
"Thank you, future sis-in-law, for inviting us to attend the Harmonious Land Dessert Bake-Off," Stereo commented.
"Yeah. With everyone else busy helping out with the repairs, we figured it'd be good to bring some fun Trolly moral support to cheer on your entry for the contest," McJagger added.
"I'm sure the festivities will be just lovely," Dante stated in excitement.
"Phooey on the festivities; ay ken't wait to try all those tasty treats," Holly commented while reaching her finger up to get a small taste of the cake.
However, Aggie slapped the Country ambassador's hand away while saying. "Hold your sweet tooth there. No one gets to taste the cake until after the contest. Besides, I'm 100% certain the tastiest treat of all is sure to be the Neopolitan Flavor filling Rainbow Wonder"!
Aggie's eyes glistened in awe as she described the cake, saying, "All that rich, creamy taste of the vanilla cake and its strawberry infused buttercream, blended perfectly with the chunky chocolate cake and its chocolate chip-infused chocolate mousse, and combined with the unique flavors of both the ube cake and the red velvet cake layers on top with a combination between marshmallow filling and coffee buttercream."
The description of the cake was making all the Normal Trolls really intrigued, as Buckaroo's mouth was watering in awe, Synth rubbed his tummy eagerly while licking his lips, and Val seemed ready to try the cake hands-on, while everyone else was impressed.
"That's why, as a cute nickname, I call the Neopolitan Flavor Filling Rainbow Wonder the "MMMMMM" because it's so good to eat once to try a slice," Aggie commented.
"MMMMMMMMM," all the Normal Trolls said in unison while looking at the cake eagerly.
Aggie leaped onto the table where the cake was, standing on a spot next to it while she said, "Exactly! It's the most delicious delectable delightful de-lovely cake in all of Harmonious Land, and it's sure to win first prize"!
"Whel, hot dang, y'all! Ay sure ken't wait ta taste it," Holly exclaimed excitedly.
"Yum," Val added while licking her lips eagerly.
"Sure definitely looks like a winner, yo," Synth commented.
"Oh man, so good," Smidge said while her mouth watered in awe.
McJagger seemed really excited, leaning forward in awe while looking at the marvel of the cake.
"This is not so" a new voice shouted, making the Normal Trolls snap out of it, while McJagger fell forward onto the floor.
Aggie and her friends turned their heads to see who it was, as it turned out to be Diana Caro, the Magic Pop Troll they met when they first came across Senator Noah. The Magic Pop Troll was holding a plate while saying, "I dare to challenge your crude cake, Aggie, to a duel of delectable delicacies against my entry for the bake-off."
She revealed her plate, which shined so brightly that some of the Normal Trolls had to cover their eyes while Diana declared, "My exceptionally exquisite eclairs," while holding a spotlight over her dish, which was the cause of the shine before she went to go place her plate down on a different table.
On the plate was a bunch of delicious, gooey, creamy, tasty eclairs, layered perfectly with chocolate and filled with possibly the tastiest cream around.
Synth saw the dish of eclairs and his eyes glistened in awe as he said, "Wow, yo! Look at all those tasty eclairs"!
He licked his lips and started to walk towards the plate to try one, but Stereo grabbed Synth by his ear and dragged him back, saying, "Hold your taste buds there, Synthesizer," while Synth whimpered sadly, wishing he could taste them.
Diana placed her plate down while saying, "They will, without a doubt, strike down the entire competition, lead me to win first prize, and name me the champion, obviously."
"Not ayy chance, Caro," a new voice spoke up, making everyone turn their heads to see who it was.
It turned out to be Dusty, the male Magic Country Troll from Scarlet's band, pulling a cart behind him, as Branch said, "Dusty? What are you doing here"?
"Don't y'all have community service ta fulfill aftuurr that stunt y'all did back at the showcase yesterday," Buckaroo inquired with a raised eyebrow?
"Faw y'all's informashun, ay ken't because ay'm hurt," while showing a bandaged knee, which Aggie could sense it was fake, and didn't even need to see the future to know dusty was lying.
"Ayn' anyways, ay came ta pick up the final ingredient faw my entry.." before bringing his cart forward, showing that he made an entire city out of handmade doughnuts, shouting, 'Donutopia"!
"Completely unoriginal name," Dante whispered to Minuet.
"Stealing it right off from Trollstopia," Minuet whispered back.
Dusty didn't hear the whispers as she said, "Ayn' with these here supuurr sprinkles," while sprinkling some sprinkles onto his doughnuts, adding, "My doughnut are gonna dunk all the othuurr lousy desserts, claim first prize, ayn' name me the best bakuurr around forevuurr"!
Then, a new voice chimed in, saying, "Oh Dusty, ye of little faith. Your dippy doughnuts doesn't even compare to my dessert entry," while a cart with what looked like a giant statue of a 3D music note was brought into the dessert cart.
"Woah," all the Normal Trolls said in surprise.
"Surrpised, aren't you," the owner of the voice soon approached, revealing himself, which turned out to be Noah.
"Aw, great, it's Noah," Holly sarcastically commented, causing some of the Normal Trolls to scowl towards him.
"Greetings, Normals. Aggie, a pleasure to see you again," Noah said, trying to act flirtatiously with Aggie, who did a deadpanned eye roll in return.
Smidge used her hair and grabbed Noah by his waist, pulling him back while saying, "Keep away from her, bub! She's not interested in you, and never will be, and we will send you flying into the caboose if we have to"!
Noah scoffed and brushed off his outfit once Smidge had let him go, saying, "Well, either way, none of these desserts here have even a slight of a chance against my entry. Behold: my chocolate mousse mousee-ic note," and showed off his dessert entry.
"It will trample all your treats, be given first prize, and make me the greatest chef in Harmonious Land," Noah added with a sly chuckle.
Dusty did not look pleased, Diana looked shocked/upset, and Aggie was ready to throw hands if she had to in order to defend the honor and integrity of her family's dessert that they worked so hard on.
Diana approached Noah, saying, "Um, Noah, while you are looking extra perfect today, I dare to say this: but you and your mousse mousse-ic note are mistakened."
Then, Dusty pointed at Diana, saying, "Y'all's frou-frou eclairs will nevuurr defeat my doughnuts"!
Aggie then stepped in, declaring, "Aunt Salome and Uncle Vic's Neopolitan Flavor Filling Rainbow Wonder is going to win"!
Noah scoffed, saying, "Ha, your simple imperfect cake can never take my perfect mousse-ic note."
Suddenly, everyone heard the train whistle blow as it started to roll along the tracks, set off on its journey to the competition, while back inside, all 4 competitors were staring one another down.
Branch then stepped in, saying, "Well, it sure looks like we're in for a delicious competition tomorrow. Maybe we should all settle in for a good night's sleep."
The other competitors all grumbled bitterly as they made it to the sleeping cart of the train and went into their rooms, sliding the door shut.
Aggie suddenly felt a vision coming through, as she blankly stared while the vision occured.
In her vision, her family's cake seemed ruined, as chunks of it were missing from it.
When her vision ended, Aggie was left with a huge look of horror, and her jaw dropped.
Meanwhile, Val stretched her arms behind her, saying, "I gotta admit I'm pretty beat."
Buckaroo stretched their back legs out carefully before saying, "Yeah, ay'm gonna hit the hay myself."
Before her friends could head into their train rooms for the night, Aggie quickly flew towards the hallway entrance and blocked it, saying, "Wait! Didn't you hear those chefs? We have to protect "MMMM"!
Dante looked back at the cake and asked while pointing to it, "MMMM"?
"Mmmm hmmm," Aggie said while nodding before she added, "I know for super sure that "MMMM" is the best dessert in all of Harmonious Land! And I know that they know it too"!
"So...," Smidge asked, gesturing for a little more clarification.
"So...," Aggie started to say, mentioning, "One of them is going to sabotage Aunt Salome and Uncle Vic's cake tonight! You have to help me stand guard"!
"Uh, Aggie, I think you might be overreacting a bit," McJagger commented.
"Yeah, those other MMTs aren't gonna do your cake any harm," Minuet added.
"But they are! I just know it, especially because they all have something against me! Noah's probably seething because I rejected him, Dusty's part of Scarlet's group, so you know he'll do anything to humiliate me for her, and Diana, well...ok, she might be an exception because she just thinks I'm weird, but still! I'm not taking any chances," Aggie declared.
"Especially because," before Aggie looked to make sure the other Trolls were in her room before she whispered to her friends, "I just had a vision."
"You had a vision, yo," Synth whispered back.
Aggie nodded, saying quietly, "In my vision, the cake was ruined, and i know that it's from something one of the other MMTs did"!
"Uh-oh! If it's true, then maybe Aggie maheet be raheet, y'all," holly commented in concern.
Buckaroo then asked, "Whel, do y'all know exactly how, in it, the cake was ruined"?
Aggie suddenly realized that she didn't know exactly how the cake got ruined, making her say, "Uh, well...n-no."
"Then, maybe it wasn't 'em. As ayy detective, ay've learned that it ain't good ta just jump inta conclusions raheet off the bat based on how someone's actin'. Sure, it maheet tip ya off, but y'all ken't really stick by it unless there's actual proof," Buckaroo commented.
"They're right, you know," Stereo replied.
"But the proof's in the pudding, Buckaroo, or frosting in this case, because I just know it's gonna be one of them, and I'm not gonna leave this room until morning when I'm certain I can protect the cake all night," Aggie commented.
"Ok, fine, if you wanna stand guard, go for it; we're going to bed," Val commented as she leaped over Aggie and went to her room, with the other Normal Trolls following behind her.
Aggie, however, wasn't gonna be easily deterred, as she said while leaping in front of the cake, "I'll show them; I'll stay up all night to protect you."
She then stepped back, set to keep a close eye on the cake, saying, "Nothing and no Troll will stop me from keeping you safe, and making sure my vision doesn't come true."
Late into the night, the train was still rolling on the tracks while Aggie was on guard, protecting the cake as best she could.
She paced the floor, she stood tall, and eyed the cake carefully. However, as the minutes passed, Aggie was starting to grow really tired. From everything that had happened today and the lack of sleep, she was growing weary by the minute.
Soon, Aggie had to sit down and do her best to keep her eyes open, so she didn't fall asleep on the job. At first, it seemed like nothing was gonna happen at night that could harm the cake's well-being.
Suddenly, what snapped Aggie out of her tired state was when she felt something WHOOSH really fast behind her. It made her turn her head and see a silhouette in the night heading through the door, making her get up and fly after them, shouting, "Stop, you saboteur"!
The silhouette was really fast as they both ran through the entire train, but Aggie was slowly catching up to it, saying, "I have you now"!
But, by the time she made it to the end of the Golden Train, she had to stop when she saw that she was standing on the outside balcony, and there was no one there. She thought at first the silhouette had probably disappeared into the night.
As she flew back to the dessert car, she saw another silhouette behind another door, as the silhouette seemed to have noticed her and ducked its head down. Aggie chased the new silhouette all the way down to the front of the train, up to the front engine. When Aggie opened the door, saying, "Aha," she saw that the only Troll in the engine was the conductor, who was driving the train.
Aggie looked around but found no sign of any suspicious Trolls around before she left and returned back to the dessert cart.
Aggie was a little worried about how the cake would be, in case something happened to it while she was gone, but when she made it back, the cake seemed to be in perfect condition.
Aggie sighed in relief, saying, "Thank golly, you're ok! But one of those MMTs is mixing up something bad. so I'm not leaving you again, no matter what"! She sat down in front of the cake, set to keep a close eye on it for the rest of the night.
Suddenly, the shades by the windows around her in the cart seemed to mysteriously just shut, making the room totally dark. The only source of light was from Aggie's heart, but not enough to illuminate a room or see who or what was in it with her. In confusion, Aggie commented, "Who turned out the lights"?
She then heard footsteps and almost swore she heard someone bite into something, as she shouted, "Don't go near that cake, thief! Stop, thief"!
Then, she heard a thud, making Aggie ask, "Oh, are you ok, thief"?
Soon, the shades rose back up, reilluminating the room. Aggie looked around and opened the door that led to the hallway where the bedrooms were, snarling in anger, worried one of the other MMTs competing in the contest did something to her cake.
Aggie then noticed the picture of the wall and took a moment to fix it, before she went back to watching the cake, saying, "Overreacting my Country hoof. I knew I was going to have to keep a close eye on you. And that's just what I'm gonna do," and stared deeply at the cake.
However, not 10 seconds into her newly found determination to keep a close eye on the cake, Aggie dropped her head and fell asleep, lightly snoring.
By early morning, Aggie was curled up on the floor, sleeping soundly.
The sound of the morning whistle was enough to drive her awake as Aggie yawned and rubbed her eyes tiredly before she realized that she had fallen asleep on the job and shouted, "The cake," wanting to make sure the cake was ok.
Luckily, the cake seemed ok at first, making Aggie smile and say, "Oh, MMMM, you look MMMMmarvelous"!
Branch came out of his bedroom, stretching his back out. but when he saw Aggie by the cake, he saw something shocking that made him say, "Woah"!
While Branch approached the cake, Aggie thought Branch was praising her for a good night of cake guarding, saying, "I know. I think some congratulations are in order for a job well done."
Branch then said nervously, "You better hold off on giving yourself an award just yet Aggie; look," and turned the cake around to show Aggie something.
Aggie, confused, asked, "Look at what"?
When Branch turned it fully around, Aggie saw that the cake was ruined, just like in her vision, making her gasp in horror before letting out a loud shout that was heard all throughout the train.
"W-what happened y'all," Holly asked as everyone came out of the bedrooms, wanting to see what happened.
Aggie sadly announced, "It's the Neopolitan Flavor filling Rainbow Wonder! It's been...mutilated," while showing the damage done to the cake, making everyone gasp in horror, and Dante fainted in shock.
"Now, we just need to find out who done it," Aggie declared in determination.
"Uh, you mean who "did" it," Branch said, correcting Aggie.
"Exactly, Branch! Who did, done, do it," Aggie announced.
McJagger then spoke up, saying, "Well, having read many mystery novels, the only way one can find the culprit is if we investigate."
"Precisely, Mr. Red ayn Optimistic," Buckaroo declared as they pulled out their magnifying glass, looking into it, saying, "Ayn' luckily, there ain't naw mystery ay ken't solve, without the help ov my trusty partnuurr: Aggie"!
Aggie then asked, "Actually, Buckaroo, since this mystery has become a "personal" one, could I maybe...lead the investigation...by myself"?
"Uh, whel...," Buckaroo gave it some thought before they smiled, saying, "Sure, why nawht"?
"Thanks, partner," Aggie said before pulling out her rainbow cowgirl hat with the golden sparkly A on it, saying, "As chief detective in this case, that's just what we're gonna do"!
"Hot dang! Naw one ken escape the mystery-solvin' duo ov Buckaroo ayn' Aggie," Holly commented.
Buckaroo then asked, "So, Aggie, shall we begin our investigashun ayn' look faw clues"?
"Perfect question, Ms. Ringer, because the obvious answer is..," Aggie said while inspecting the cake crumbs on the table near where the bite marks were.
"Yes," Buckaroo replied in confusion.
Aggie then said, "No, because I already know who did it"!
Everyone gasped in shock, with Dante waking back up to gasp in shock, while Synth asked, "Hold up, yo; you already know who did it"?!
Buckaroo did a T symbol with their hands, saying, "Woah, woah, hold your horses there, Aggie. Naw offense, Holly."
"None taken, bestie," Holly replied.
Buckaroo then asked Aggie, "How could y'all even know possibly know already"?
Aggie replied while pacing the floor, "How could I possibly not know? Clearly, this dastardly deed was done by the baker who knew their dessert could not measure up to the mastery of the Neopolitan Flavor Filling Rainbow Wonder! I guess you feared your éclairs lacked flair," before flying up to Diana's face, glaring at the Magic Pop Troll, who was startled, while shouting, "Diana"!
An old-timey flashback scene began to play, as Diana, who appeared to be dressed in a long black coat and pointy hat, seemed to sneak up behind Aggie, who was keeping a close eye on the cake.
She loomed over Aggie in the shadows, reaching her hand to grab the cake, but Aggie smacked it away, making Diana stunned while holding her hand back.
A blank screen with the dialogue "Ouch!" was then shown.
It then showed Aggie turning around and shouting at Diana.
A blank screen with the dialogue, "Get your hands off that cake, you cur!" was then shown.
The next scene to occur was Diana grabbing Aggie and tying her up to the train tracks before disappearing. Aggie saw the incoming train coming and had a look of horror on her face as the train approached.
A blank screen with the dialogue "Oh goodness!" was then shown.
Back inside, Diana had placed the cake on a conveyor belt where there was a spinning blade at the end. Diana grinned evilly as the cake was brought all the way to the end.
A blank screen with the dialogue "Muhu ha ha!" was then shown.
The last of the cake seen was the bits of cake that splattered onto her after the cake was destroyed.
"Thus, destroying the cake, and my relatives' chance of winning the Harmonious Land Dessert Bake-Off," Aggie concluded her explanation while staring down Diana, who scrunched her body lower in fear while Aggie was on top of McJagger's head.
"But that makes naw sense," Buckaroo pointed out.
"What do you mean, Buckaroo," Aggie asked while flying back down.
"Whel, first off, if y'all were tied ta the train tracks, how are y'all now here," Buckaroo asked.
Aggie gave it some thought, saying, "Well...ok that is a good point there."
The detective then trotted over to the cake, saying, "Ayn' second, the cake hadn't been slaaced; it's been bitten."
They pulled out their magnifying glass and took a closer look, saying, "See them teeth marks? It shows that whoevuurr ruined the cake had themselves ayy bit ov ayy late-naheet munchy."
Aggie took this to heart and replied, "You're right, Buckaroo. Which means Diana is in the clear," which made the Magic Pop Troll sigh in relief.
Aggie then mentioned, "Which means that the "MMMM" was destroyed by another baker; a baker who's doughnuts are "do-nots"!
"Huh," everyone asked in confusion.
"That's right. It was Dusty," Aggie said while pointing at Dusty, who looked shocked.
A scene showed a doughnut cascading across the screen before dusty, who was wearing a black tuxedo with a red tie, and his hair seemed slicked back, was seen walking and standing in the middle of it.
Aggie's off-screen voice explained, "Or as he's shown in the spy world: Mare, Rom Mare"!
In the doughnut, Dusty bit into a jelly doughnut that spattered jam onto the screen.
The scene then changed to nighttime while the Golden Train was rolling down the tracks. Dusty was sipping on a milkshake in the dining cart, surrounded by a few fellow MMTs, before he got an alert on his watch about his next mission: to "destroy the cake."
He gave his milkshake to a little girl before he walked away and set to start on his "mission."
Inside the dessert cart, Aggie, who was now wearing a police hat, was sitting and watching the cake, while dusty was on the other side of the door, analyzing his situation.
He used a glass cutting device to cut a hole in the door window before he tossed a small, grey ball into the room.
Aggie saw the ball, curious about what it was, and then, to her shock, it emitted a strange green gas that made her dizzy and fall over, falling asleep.
Dusty then entered the room and adjusted his tie while emitting a mist that revealed lasers surrounding the cake. He pulled out a mirror, and the lasers reflected off of it and cut through the cake, making it fall apart.
His mission complete, Dusty grinned while two female MMTs groveled at his feet.
"Crushing my relatives' chances to win," Aggie shouted while glaring at him in the face.
"Aggie, calm down," Buckaroo commented before pointing out, "There ain't naw laser security system guardin' any ov these here desserts."
They then pointed out at Dusty, "Ayn' Dusty ain't sleek, stealthy Rom Mare. He's big, gruff, ayn' messy."
"Hey," Dusty snorted, feeling offended.
"Although, you would look rather dapper in a tuxedo," Minuet pointed out.
"Not helping, Minuet," Val commented.
Aggie sighed sadly, saying, "Yeah, you raise a good point there, Buckaroo."
"Ay know y'all want ta faand out who did it, but what we really need is ta-," They started to say before they saw Aggie inspecting Noah's dessert.
Aggie took a close look at it, saying, "Now that I'm getting a closer look at this dessert, I see one of them doesn't appear to be facing me straight."
"Aggie, that mousse is just mousee," Buckaroo pointed out.
Aggie replied while approaching Buckaroo, "Correct, and the Troll behind the mousse panicked when he saw the matsery of the MMMM, and acted out of retribution."
"So wait, yo. you're saying that the culprit is...," Synth asked in confusion.
"Noah Aquino," Aggie said while glaring at her ex-boyfriend, who didn't seem nervous one bit.
A scene showed Noah, dressed in a black ninja costume, landing on top of the Golden Train. Using some excellent speed, he ran on top of the train cart, flipping over the gaps and reaching his destination.
Inside the dessert cart, Aggie, in her police hat, was patroling the cake and keeping a close eye on it.
In the shadows, Noah was hiding, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
When the time came, he leaped into action, and bonked Aggie on the head with a frying pan, knocking her out, before turning his attention at the cake.
He grinned and pulled out a samurai sword, ready to use it to slice through the cake.
With a mighty leap and a swipe from his sword, he soon landed on the ground, holding his sword close, and not even looking back when he heard the cake fall into pieces, crumbling, making him smile.
"Putting an end to my relatives' dreams of taking first prize," Aggie's off-screen voice commented.
Aggie scoffed and said angrily, "I hope you're proud of yourself, Noah"!
Noah scoffed, saying, "I am proud of my work on my dessert, but I would never do anything so unruly like that."
"Aggie, ay appreciate what y'all are doin', but this is gettin' ridiculous! Even ay could sense that Noah is most laakely nawht the suspect here; ayn' he's ayy jerk," Buckaroo commented.
"Besides, why would I want to ruin your cake," Noah replied.
"Because after you ruined my life by dumping me in the past when we first started to date, you just couldn't accept how badly I rejected you in front of everyone, and you wanted to do something as an act of retribution," Aggie pointed out.
Noah simply chuckled, saying, "And why would I act out like that? I'll admit that I still don't see why you don't want to come back to me, but I have a reputation to maintain; why would I do something like that to ruin it"?
Aggie was ready to retort when she bit her lip, knowing that despite his arrogance, Noah...made a good point.
She sighed in frustration and walked away while saying, "Ok, fine, you make a good point there," before saying, "But I was so sure that it was one of the other bitter bakers that destroyed the "MMMM". That way, their delicious dessert would reign supreme."
Aggie then pointed to Dusty's Donutopia, saying, "I mean, just look at Dusty's Donutopia. It's a spectacular city of doughnutty delight, topped temptingly in sprinklicious sprinkles."
Hearing this, Val licked her lips happily while rubbing her stomach, Smidge's eyes were glistening in awe, and Noah seemed to, to his surprise, find himself really intrigued, and licked his lips.
Aggie then moved on to Diana's eclairs, saying, "And Diana's éclairs look incredibly edible, with glistening glaziness."
Synth's mouth watered from seeing all the eclairs, along with Holly, who looked at the eclairs in awe, while Dusty was also intrigued by how delicious the eclairs looked.
Aggie then slid over to Noah's mousse mousse-ic note, saying, "But then, there's Noah's mousse mousse-ic note. Why, this mouth-wateringly marvelous mousse mousee-ic note tempts the taste buds with this silky, smooth, yummy-nummy, chocolateyness."
Diana's mouth was watering in awe, Stereo was patting her tummy hungrily, McJagger seemed, and Dante and Minuet were looking at the dish in amazement.
With all of this, Aggie then asked a very important question: So, why did this criminal devour the Neopolitan Flavor Filling Rainbow Wonder while leaving this trio of tasty treats untouched"?
Then, suddenly, the Golden Train passed through a long tunnel, and in the darkness, Synth screamed in fear loudly, his scream muffling the sounds of footsteps and munching in the background.
Once the train was out of the tunnel, everyone was in for an even bigger shock: now, the other three desserts were devoted almost completely as well.
Aggie, in shock, declared, "Now, I have no idea who do-doned it"!
As Diana, Noah, and Dusty tried to round up the sad remains of their once marvelous treats, Dante commented, "This mystery gets more mysterious every minute"!
"First, it was Aggie's family's cake, and now, the other desserts," Smidge commented sadly.
"We have to find the thief or thieves before anymore treats get devoured," Branch declared.
Aggie sat sadly on the floor, holding her hat, while saying, "I'm trying, but nothing I've found comes up or pieces it together. I don't know what else to do."
Then, Aggie saw Buckaroo approach her and offer the MMT a hand up while saying, "Maybe this taame, let's try ta solve this...togethuurr."
Aggie smiled and accepted Buckaroo's hand up, before Buckaroo declared, "Ok, ever'one, head back inta y'all's rooms while we do some investigatin' in here."
Aside from them and Aggie, everyone else returned to their rooms to wait for the time being.
Buckaroo then said, "Now, if we're gonna faand the truth, it's taame we quit with the accisashuns, ayn' start' lookin' faw some clues that maheet led us ta who actually did it. Ok"?
Aggie nodded and placed her hat back on, saying, "Ok, got it."
"Now, from what y'all said, y'all was in here the entaare naheet, correct," Buckaroo asked while pulling out her notepad.
"Yep. you're not accusing me of this..are you," Aggie asked nervously.
"Ov course nawht, partnuurr. But maybe whaale y'all was guardin' y'all maheet've seen somethin' aw heard somethin' that maheet lead us ta ayy clue," Buckaroo replied.
Aggie thought back to last night while saying, "Oh yeah! i saw a silhouette in the moonlight"!
Buckaroo wrote this down while saying, "PErfect, now, we're gettin' somewhere. So, let's retrace your steps. Which way did it go"?
"That way," Aggie said while leading Buckaroo down the hallway to the back of the train, saying, "Then, I chased the culprit down the train towards the caboose. But when I got there, he was gone."
In the caboose, Buckaroo looked around with her magnifying glass, before she saw something, saying, "Aha! Our first clue"!
She used her tweezers to pick the item up and placed it in an envelope, with Aggie watching.
Buckaroo then commented, "Ay think ay know who did it."
"Already? Wow, no wonder you're an amazing detective," Aggie commented with a chuckle.
they chuckled in reply before saying, "True, but ay ain't done yet; ay need mawe evidence ta confirm my theory. So, what happened next"?
Aggie thought back before saying, "I hen heard someone else in the dessert cart and chased them up to the engine."
By the engine, Aggie was telling them, "But, when I got there, the only Troll there was the conductor," while pointing to the conductor.
"The conductor, eh," Buckaroo replied while approaching the MMT conductor, asking, "May ay see your hat, please"?
The conductor gave Buckaroo the hat as they looked inside it. Then, they saw something that made them gasp, commenting, "But, that makes naw sense."
They used their tweezers to pick up the item inside the hat and placed it in a new envelope before giving the conductor back the hat.
Buckaroo then faced Aggie, asking, "what happened next, Aggie."
"I..uh...ooh! I went into the dessert cart," Aggie replied and flew back to the dessert cart, looking around eagerly for a clue. When she saw Buckaroo enter, smirking playfully at her, Aggie sheepishly grinned, saying, "Sorry."
"At ease, partnurr. Be calm when y'all are lookin' faw clues. Ayy frantic mess just makes things worse ayn' mawe confusin'. So, in here, what happened next when y'all arrived"?
Aggie replied while pointing to the shades on the windows, saying, "The shades seemed to lower all on their own."
"All on their own, huh," Buckaroo asked while writing it down on her notepad.
Aggie explained, "Then, I heard footsteps, a thud, and then, they were gone! When I got the shades opened to look, the portrait on the wall was crooked, so, I fixed it."
Buckaroo inspected the painting before they saw something that made them say, "Oh my stars, what is that"?
They used their tweezers to pick it up and placed it in a new envelope before Buckaroo turned around and asked Aggie, "Then, what happened"?
Aggie thought back before saying, "That's pretty much it. I was in the dessert cart guarding the cake the rest of the night."
Buckaroo raised an inquisitive eyebrow before Aggie sheepishly admitted, "I mean, I slept by the cake the rest of the night."
"Ayn' when y'all woke up, the cake was laake this with almost half ov it gone, raheet," Buckaroo clarified.
"Exactly," Aggie answered.
Buckaroo then snapped her fingers, saying, "Yeehaw! Ay think ay've got it! Aggie, get ever'one ta come back here; we got ourselves ayy cake culprit ta catch."
Aggie went to the rooms and rounded everyone back into the dessert cart, with Diana asking, "Uh, why are we all here again"?
"Ay bet y'all are wonderin' why y'all are back here," Buckaroo stated as they and Aggie entered the room.
"Wow, they're good," Dusty commented.
"Buckaroo and Aggie are good mystery solvers," McJagger, who strangely had his jacket closed and not open, mentioned.
Buckaroo explained while Aggie walked alongside them, "Whel, we were able ta faand the true culprit ov this here cake carnage."
"But how," Stereo asked.
"Elementary, my dear Stereo. When it comes ta committing ayy craame, it's crucial that one nevurr does without leavin' behaand clues. Especially one like...this," before opening up the first envelope and showing the item inside of it: a strand of purple hair, making everyone gasp when they saw it, while Val seemed to nervously shrink from seeing it.
"Aha! A hair strand," Aggie declared before saying, "I knew it was you...Diana," while flying up to Diana, glaring at her.
"Aggie, Diana doesn't have purple hair," Buckaroo pointed.
"Nope, because she's been dying it," Aggie replied while trying to lift up Diana's hair to see if she was right about the dye job, but she was wrong.
"Uh, ouch," Diana commented, not appreciating this one bit, as Aggie stepped back and let go of Diana's hair.
Buckaroo shook her head, saying, "Naw, Aggie. Listen, 'kay, sugar"?
It then flashbacked to last night, when Aggie chased the culprit into the caboose but didn't see anyone.
"Remembuurr when y'all chased the suspect inta the caboose, they suddenly disappeared," Buckaroo's off-screen voice asked.
It then showed Aggie looking in the caboose before she left.
"That's because they found ayy way ta haade up on the top ov the ceilin' so y'all wouldn't see 'em. But the thief did leave ayy lil' something behaand. Didn't y'all...Val Thundershock," Buckaroo's off-screen voice commented.
The scene then showed Val using her hair to hold herself up onto the ceiling, as she smiled, thinking she wasn't gonna get caught.
Present day, Val saw her friends looking at her in confusion while buckaroo was giving her the "Confess!" look, and sweat dropped while saying with a nervous smile, "Wha? I-I don't even like cake"!
Aggie, seeing this, said, "So, Val was the one who did it! Case closed"!
"Case nawht closed," Buckaroo answered, confusing Aggie, as she explained, "Because whaale we were lookin' in the engine, ay saw the conductor's hat. ayn's insaade the hat was...this," before opening the second envelope and revealing the second item: a small light green glowstick.
Everyone gasped as Synth gulped nervously while Val smirked, knowing she wasn't the only criminal caught today.
However, she saw Aggie approach her, saying, "So, it was you! That glowstick came from inside your purple-colored hair"!
"I don't carry glowsticks in my hair, Aggie," Val clarified.
"So, where are you hiding them," Aggie asked while picking up Val, holding her upside down, making the Rock ambassador shout while saying, "Hey, put me down"!
"Aggie, listenin', remembuurr," Buckaroo stated.
"Oh, right. Sorry," Aggie apologized before putting Val back on her feet on the floor again.
It then flashbacked to when Aggie made it to the engine and saw the conductor sitting, driving the train.
"Y'all chased ayy Troll into the engine, where ya thought ya saw the conductor draavin' the train," Buckaroo's off-screen voice commented.
It then showed Aggie leaving the engine, and returning back to the dessert cart.
"But that wasn't the conductor, it was...Synth," Buckaroo's off-screen voice declared.
The scene then showed Synth, who took off the conductor's hat and was wearing a conductor's uniform, sighing in relief.
Present day, Synth nervously stammered, "Who, me? What? When? Where? And sometimes why," while sheepishly chuckling.
"You're going down, Synth," Aggie said as she flew up, ready to tackle Synth, who braced for Aggie to crash into him.
"Aggie," Buckaroo commented, getting Aggie to fly back onto the ground.
Buckaroo then stated, "But then, we found anothuurr clue that confounded my theory."
It then flashbacked to when Aggie saw the shades mysteriously close, making the room dark.
"Y'all were guardin' the cake when the shades mysteriously closed. But it ain't naw mystery, because there could only be two reasons: levitation magic, which ay easily counted out because none of the MMTs did this craame, aw the othuurr reason: some sort of technology," Buckaroo's off-screen voice commented.
It then showed in the darkness someone holding a remote that made the shades close.
"But when the thief traaed ta make ayy grand escape, they left ayy lil addition ta the portrait," Buckaroo's off-screen voice commented.
It then showed a shadow of a quadruped Funk Troll running behind Aggie, before it crashed into the portrait, showing it was McJagger, who landed face/neck first, as he stumbled his way to the door to get to his room, unaware he left a tuft of red fur on the portrait.
Present day, Buckaroo was holding a tuft of red fur in her hand, approaching McJagger while saying, "Has any ov y'all noticed McJ here's been wearin' his jacket closed ayn' nawht open laake usual"?
McJagger tried to play it cool, especially when Aggie approached him with an inquisitive glare, saying, "Wait, what? I just, uh...felt a little chilly is all. It's not wrong to close one's attire every now and then."
"Really," Buckaroo commented as she grabbed the fasteners on his jacket and pulled them apart, opening his jacket, revealing McJagger's red fur with the purple stripe around the middle.
McJagger finally couldn't take it as he said out loud, "Ok, I admit it! I wasn't cold at all"!
His exclamation confused everyone, while they were also surprised as well.
McJagger then calmed down and said, "Oh, and yeah, I took a bite of the cake."
"So did i, yo," Synth came forward, admitting sadly.
"Aw, nuts. So did I," Val came forward, admitting it too.
"You just made it sound so delectable," McJagger confessed.
"So tasty," Synth added.
"And boy, was it," Val added on.
McJagger then faced Aggie, hanging his head low with a guilty look on his face, saying, "I only meant to take a small little bite."
"But it was so good, yo," Synth mentioned with regret.
"Yeah, I just dove right in without thinking," Val added.
"But I'm really sorry, Aggie," McJagger apologized, lowing his head in shame.
"Mega sorry, Aggie," Synth apologized while also lowering his head in shame.
"Sorry, Aggie," Val added while looking down in guilt as well.
Aggie sighed in relief, saying with a smile, "That's ok, you guys. I can't stay mad at you," before she faced the others, saying, "At least this mystery is finally solved."
Branch then pointed out, "But wait. The mystery of who ate the Neopolitan Flavor Filling Rainbow Wonder might've been solved, but we still don't know who devoured the other desserts here."
Aggie grinned, saying, "You right, Branch. And there's only one thing to do, right, Buckaroo"?
"Buckaroo smiled, saying, "Whel, ay know, but do y'all know"?
Aggie nodded, saying, "Look for clues"!
Buckaroo then grinned and gave Aggie their magnifying glass, saying, "Here. y'all maheet need this."
Aggie smiled happily before she flew around the cart, looking over everyone and everything to find clues.
Once she had looked around, she landed beside Buckaroo while smidge asked, "So, Aggie, who's the devourer of desserts"?
Aggie grinned and gave Buckaroo back the magnifying glass, saying, "Well, Smidge, it's none other than...," before pointing at the other MMTs, saying, "The Magic Musical Trolls here with us"!
Everyone gasped in shock while Aggie flew over to explain.
She first hovered by Diana, saying, "First, Diana has mousse on her dress," while pointing to the mousse stain on Diana's dress, making Diana gulp nervously.
Aggie then flew to Dusty, saying, "and Dusty has eclair in his hair," while pointing to the small bit of eclair cream in the Magic Country Troll's hair, making Dusty look down nervously.
Aggie then flew to Noah, pointing at his suit, saying, "And Noah has sprinkles on his suit," making the Senator sigh in annoyance at being caught.
"Whel, whel, what do y'all have ta say faw yourselves," Holly asked while crossing her arms.
Diana faced Noah and bowed her head sadly, saying, "I am really sorry, Noah. But Aggie made your mousse mousse-ic note sound really sweet."
Dusty then approached Diana, saying, "Ayn' the way she described your eclairs really made 'em sound so scrumptious."
Noah admitted, "and i will admit: Aggie's description of your Donutopia, Dusty, made it too hard to resist."
Soon, the Golden Train arrived to the Golden Express station in Trollnila.
"Whel, y'all, this here mystery has finally been officially solved," Buckaroo declared.
"Yeah, like, what are we gonna do now about our desserts," Diana asked while holding her plate of eclair bits.
"Without our desserts, we ken't entuurr the contest," Dusty replied sadly.
Suddenly, Smidge got an idea, whispering it to Aggie, who nodded while saying to the three MMTs, "Maybe there's a way we can all still compete."
"Follow me," Aggie declared, as all of her friends and the three MMTs followed Aggie out of the train.
At the contest, soon, Aggie, Dusty, Diana, and Noah were pushing a giant cart with something underneath a white tarp on it.
When the judges, which were the leaders of Harmonious Land, came to judge the entry, Aggie pulled the tarp and revealed that the entry was a huge cake with a combination of her family's cake, Diana's eclairs, Dusty's doughnuts, and Noah's chocolate mouse.
The leaders were all really impressed and thought it looked so tasty, they awarded it first place.
While Diana and Dusty went to go sample some of the other baking entries, Noah was talking to the press about the first-place prize, while Aggie was looking at the cake proudly with her friends.
"Now, that's the most delectable cake I've ever seen," Dante commented in awe.
"Yeah, it looks so *imitates airhorn noises*," Stereo commented.
"Naace work, Aggie," Buckaroo commented while patting Aggie on the back.
"Couldn't have done it without ya, Buckaroo," Aggie commented before saying, "And sorry I kept making wild accusations about who I thought ruined the cake. I guess I was just so upset that my relatives' hard work was literally eaten away, I let my frustrations cloud my judgement."
"Happens ta the best ov us, but at least we were able ta solve it ayn' make somethin' even bettuurr out ov it," Buckaroo replied with a chuckle.
Aggie chuckled too, saying, "Yeah, plus, we solved another mystery. High hoof," and lifted her Country hoof up, connecting with one of Buckaroo's front hooves while she said, "Haagh hoof."
Branch was cutting a slice and offering it to Aggie, saying, "Care for a bite"?
Aggie grinned, saying, "I don't mind if I do," and flew up before diving right into the cake, tunneling through the middle of it.
She came out, covered in frosting, licking her lips while saying, "It's really good! Try some, guys," and offered chunks of cakes to her friends, who caught a piece with their plates while laughing.
