Psychic Pals Part 3
Previously on Trollstopia...
"It's hopeless, guys. I'm nothing without my visions," Popy commented, feeling bad her visions were missing.
"Poppy, don't say that; you're able to do so many amazing things," Quincy mentioned.
"Yeah, and even before you had visions, you were still capable of doing a lot of things, some that even we can't do," Trollex added before a new scene showed Poppy playing the violin, singing opera at the party, doing a magic trick at the party, and then transferred to another scene where Poppy was baking bread.
"Losing your visions was bad, but on the upside, this baguette is to die for," Aggie said, enjoying a fresh baguette Poppy had made.
"Guys... You know I have to give these visions back to Poppy," Branch said before a scene showed where he saved Poppy after Sara Lee sent a shockwave at a metal lantern that almost hit the Pop queen.
"But how did you know that lantern was gonna fall on me" Poppy asked Branch, who admitted to having visions all of a sudden.
"Well, it certainly makes my job a lot easier," Dr. Quisenberry stated.
"I can use the ocular extraction goggles to reverse the process later tonight if you want," Dr. Jeweline said to Poppy before a new scene showed her using a pair of high-tech goggles to remove the visions from Branch, without him knowing, saying to herself, "The visions are finally mine."
At around sundown, after the beach party had ended, Aggie and her friend decided to go now to help Poppy get her visions back.
The leaders and ambassadors all volunteered to go with Aggie, Poppy, and Branch, while the rest of the group stayed back at the resort.
At the research center, Poppy and Branch were both sitting in special chairs, anticipating the procedure.
"This is so cool! I can't wait to finally get my visions back from you, Branch," Poppy told her husband.
Branch smiled, saying, "Yeah. Although I am gonna miss having visions, it feels good to see you feeling a lot better, Poppy."
"It's gonna be nice to get you back to being you, Poppy," Quincy commented,
"But ay am gonna miss your bread-makin' skills. y'all really know how ta make ayy good baguette," Delta mentioned.
"Yes, and your vibrant violin playing and your outstanding opera singing," Trollzart added.
"And all of your other amazing newfound talents," Essence added, mentioning, "Like whittling. I love my necklace," before showing off a lovely wooden necklace she was wearing made out of wood.
"And I love my new guitar pick," Val added while showing off a sleek, very well-detailed guitar pick made out of wood.
"And I love my new friendship bracelet," Aggie said while showing off a colorful wooden friendship bracelet.
"I'm digging these new wooden headphones, yo," Synth said while wearing a set of wooden headphones around his neck, saying, "They're tight, yo"!
"Ayn' ay ken't get enough ov this here wooden hairspray can," Holly commented while holding a wooden hairspray can, saying, "It even holds real hairspray," and pressed the top, spraying some hairspray out of it.
"Don't forget these babies," Low-Note Jones said while showing off a cute pair of wooden clog shoes he was wearing on his back feet, saying, "The ladies love the man in clogs."
"Yeah, in the yodeling alphs," Barb joked.
"Why did you pick those anyway, Low-Note Jones? You don't normally wear shoes," Trollex pointed out.
Low-Note Jones replied, "True, but one might also question why I wear a monocle on Tuesdays. The answer to both," before proceeding to swap his regular glasses with his monocle, adding, "That's just Low-Note being Low-Note, baby."
And truth to it, a few of the female scientists that were walking by saw Low-Note Jones in his wooden clogs and smiled, waving at him.
Low-Notes smiled, did a "hey there" point, and winked at them before saying, "Looks like I'm going yodeling tonight, baby."
Dr. Quisenberry then approached the group, saying, "Yes, all of Poppy's gifts to us are very nice. But I think the clear winner is my canoe," before pointing to the very large canoe that was leaned up against the wall by the door.
"I still can't believe you only made that in 5 minutes! I've been whittling for a long time, and you were suddenly able to do it in the blink of an eye," Branch commented.
"Sorry I didn't have enough time to make the oars, Dr. Quisenberry," Poppy said, apologizing for the lack of oars for the canoe.
Dr. Quisenberry didn;t seem to mind as he replied, "Yeah, well... it's okay."
Then, Aggie noticed that out of everyone that was currently in the room, there was one Troll that was missing, making her ask, "Hey, Dr. Quisenberry, where's Dr. Jeweline? Isn't she supposed to do the procedure"?
Dr. Quisenberry replied, sounding a bit worried, "I'm not sure where she is. She hasn't returned my calls or texts, and i haven't seen her since the beach party."
"Well, I hope she hurries up. I can't wait to get back to feeling like myself again," Poppy commented, anticipating her visions returning safe and sound.
"To think, your overflowing pop-timism energy alone doesn't make you feel like yourself, Popsqueak," Val stated with a chuckle.
"So, can you get back to this vision thingy," Dante inquired.
"Yeah, is there any way we can do this without Dr. Jeweline," Quincy asked.
Dr. Quisenberry nodded, saying, "Of course. I'll just need you both to put on your goggles."
He gave both Poppy and Branch a pair of thin, black, sleek electronic goggles, which both Pop leaders placed on easily.
"Wow, yo! you both look like you could be cyborgs with those goggles on," Synth commented before mimicking a robot's movements, saying in a robotic voice, "Hello. I am Robo-Synth! I came to make raves epic, yo. Yay."
Once Poppy and Branch had the goggles on firm and steady, Dr. Quisenberry, who was standing by the machine to perform the procedure, said, "Perfect. Now, I just have to activate the ocular extraction function and..." while pressing a button to turn the machine on.
However, there was no reaction, no sound, not even a light flicker. It's like the machine...didn't work at all.
Curious, and confused on why this was happening, Dr. Quisenberry examined his tablet, saying, "That's funny."
"What's funny, doc," Barb asked.
"Well, it appears there are no visions in King Branch to extract," Dr. Quisenberry replied.
Aggie, the Normal Troll leaders and ambassadors were shocked to hear this, with Aggie saying, "That's not funny."
Poppy was taking the news pretty hard, awkwardly breaking into forced laughter, thinking that Dr. Quisenberry was joking, saying, "It's not funny at all! I mean, I know I'm laughing, but I don't know why."
Branch was more perplexed than shocked, commenting, "I don't get it. I just had my visions last night."
"Yeah, they have to be in there," Poppy mentioned while pointing at her husband.
"But where could they have gone," Trollzart asked curiously.
"Yeah, visshuns don't just leave ayn' walk way," Delta added.
Then, Dr. Jeweline came running into the room, all panicked-like, admitting right away, "I took them"!
"What," Dr. Quisenberry, Aggie, and the Normal Trolls exclaimed in disbelief.
Dr. Quisenberry told his granddaughter while approaching her, 'Jeweline, something terrible could have happened to them."
Jeweline shared a guilty look, saying, "Something did. I... I lost them."
"Lost them," Aggie and the Normal Trolls exclaimed, very upset, and very shocked to hear this.
Poppy seemed to be losing it, continuing the forced laughter while saying, "She lost them! Gone! Poof"!
"Ay think Poppy's caught in ayy bad case ov denial," Holly whispered to the ambassadors.
"And it's all gonna come crashing down in 3...2...," Val counted backward before pointing at Poppy.
Poppy was no longer laughing awkwardly, but she broke into tears and started to cry, all-natural, and straight from the heart. She was genuinely upset that her visions were now lost and gone at who knows where.
Branch hugged his crying wife, letting her sob into his shoulder while saying, "Aw, Poppy, it's gonna be ok."
Everyone else looked at Poppy in concern, worried for the Pop Queen, and worried for the well-being of her visions, wherever they were.
A few minutes after the initial shock of the sudden revelation that Dr. Jeweline had lost Poppy's visions, Dr. Quisenberry was scolding his granddaughter, saying. "Jeweline, how could you? I'm shocked."
"I'm not; I'm not shocked. You know why? 'Cause I knew she was gonna steal Poppy's visions," Aggie stated angrily, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, we saw it coming, and now, it has officially come true," Trollex added, visibly upset as well.
"For that, we're taking the canoe," Barb shouted as she and Val were about to march over to grab the canoe.
Dr. Quisenberry quickly stepped in between them, saying in an attempt to calm them down, "Now, let's not be so hasty," before he turned his head and whispered to his granddaughter, "Thanks a lot, Jeweline."
Dr. Jeweline felt awful for the mistake she had made, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone. But I promise I didn't take the visions for myself."
"Aw really? Why did y'all take 'em in the first place," Holly asked while raising her eyebrow, preparing a guilt trip look if needed.
"Please, I can explain," Jeweline stated, saying, "I only took them to prove my theory about VNA."
"VN... what," Synth asked, very confused.
"Is that some kind of satellite," Trollzart questioned.
"What's that," Branch asked on behalf of the group.
Dr. Jeweline explained, "Much like how DNA is the genetic makeup for normal Trolls, I believe VNA is the genetic makeup for psychics who get visions. Like Aggie, for example, since she had inherited her psychic visions from both her grandfathers, her DNA also consists of VNA."
Aggie gave it some thought, saying, "That is true."
Jeweline continued with, "And while it is still a mystery of how you Normal Trolls are also to have psychic visions, based on the research I've collected so far, while Poppy may get visions and Branch doesn't, my theory is that they still share the same VNA."
Aggie and the Normal Trolls didn't seem to understand at first, with Val asking, "Does anyone here speak nerd"?
Essence came forward, saying, "I speak a little. I believe she's saying the only reason Poppy's visions transferred into Branch is because they're family."
"But how are we family? We're only married; we're still two individual Trolls," Branch pointed out.
"And because you two are married, you both have conjoined into one family and as such, now share a family-related relation with one another," Quincy added on, seeing the point Essence was making.
"Precisely," Dr. Jeweline replied, adding, "And to prove this, I was gonna put Poppy's visions into myself. If my brain rejected them, my theory would be proven."
Dr. Quisenberry didn't appear to be mad at Jeweline anymore, praising his granddaughter while saying, "Brilliant. Isn't she brilliant"?
"That's one word faw huurr," Delta commented sarcastically under her breath.
"I can name a few others, and half of them are not Trolly to say," Barb muttered under her breath.
Aggie then said, "but wait, Dr. Jeweline, how did you lose the visions"?
Jeweline explained, "It happened earlier today after I extracted the visions from Branch at the party."
"Wait, you extracted them from me? When," Branch asked, surprised to hear she extracted them from him without him knowing.
Dr. Jeweline answered the Pop king, "I did it while you were resting under a nearby tree.
Flashback to a few hours ago...
Dr. Jeweline had successfully extracted the visions from Branch, saying to herself, "The visions are finally mine," and began to walk away, adding on, "To experiment with before I put them back into Poppy."
As Jeweline was walking back to the center, she accidentally bumped into someone, who shouted, "Watch the suit, I have a show tonight," and dropped the goggles upon collision with the mysterious Troll.
End of flashback...
"When I realized I lost the goggles, I retraced my steps to try and find them. But I think that MMT I bumped into on the sidewalk must have found them," Dr. Jeweline added.
"Who is this Troll," Low-Note Jones asked.
Dr. Jeweline replied, "I don't know. But when he saw me, he started to point out how I looked "Ugly" because I was so focused on my scientific work, and he said
Flashback to earlier...
"Seriously? The fact that you appear blander than that hideous lab coat you wear is nothing short of a nightmare," the mysterious Troll, revealed to be Noah, said to her.
End of flashback...
"Noah," Aggie and the Normal Trolls shouted in frustration, recognizing who it was right away.
Poppy then realized how severe the problem was now, shouting in a panicked frenzy, "Oh no! If Noah has the goggles, that means he has my visions"!
"Not if he hasn't put them on," Jeweline informed Poppy.
"And even if he has, if Noah doesn't have VNA, Poppy's visions won't stick anyway, right," Dante asked curiously.
Jeweline hesitantly answered, "VNA is just my theory. If Senator Noah puts on the goggles, there's no telling what will happen."
Everyone was now really worried; who knows what could happen if Noah ended up with Poppy's visions.
Poppy immediately made a beeline to the door, saying, "Well, I gotta leave right now and get those goggles back! Without my visions, I'm nothing"!
Jeweline added sadly, "I'm really, really, really sorry, your Pop majesty. I feel like this is my fault."
"That's because it is," Barb stated bluntly.
"Barb, cease the bluntness, the gerl already feels bad enough as it is," Delta scolded the Rock queen.
"Plus," Branch added while standing up and walking over to his wife, "It's not all her fault. If I had told Poppy that I had her visions right away, none of this would have happened."
Jeweline said, "Well, I really want to help fix it."
"Me too," Val said while walking over, and joining the trio.
"Count me in too, y'all," Holly said, trotting over to join them.
"Low-Note Jones wants to help too," Low-Note Jones stated while walking over to join them.
"And I propose joining in as well in an effort to help my friends in need," Dante added, flying over to them.
"Me too, yo! We're all in this together," Synth said, joining them.
Poppy smiled, feeling touched her friends wanted to help, as she said, "Thanks, guys. Now, let's go get those goggles back"!
"Poppy, we'll stay behind and keep an eye out in case the goggles wind up back here," Aggie told the Pop Queen.
"Ayn' if them visshuns waand up loose, we'll be here ta figure out how ta round 'em back," Delta added.
"Ok. Stay in touch via phones, guys, and alert us if anything happens," Branch addressed before he, Poppy, Dr. Jeweline, and the Normal Troll ambassadors left to go find Noah and get the goggles back before it was too late.
After the group had left, Quincy commented, "I sure hope they can find them in time."
Trollex noticed that Aggie looked very sad, and asked his girlfriend, "Aggie? What's wrong"?
Aggie sighed, saying, "It's just...just hearing Poppy say that she's nothing without her visions kind of hurts my heart. Hearing a friend say that is really upsetting because I've seen you all do so many amazing things ever since I met you guys, even before you all started to have visions. You've all done many incredible things long before we even knew what it was like to be psychic. And seeing Poppy so down about losing her visions, I can't help but feel and for her, wishing there was more I could do to help. We're friends, and friends are supposed to help you not feel sad or like nothing."
"Aggie, we feel you, and we're all feeling the same way you are," Quincy told Aggie.
"There's so much were wishing that we could've done to help poppy not feel as down about this," Essence mentioned.
"Plus, what are the chances that Popsqueak's actually gonna successfully get them back from Mitch? The chances are 1 and 0," Barb added.
"We all wish there was something that we could do to make this better," Trollzart stated.
"It feels laake all we've done today is just let huurr down," Delta confessed.
Dr. Quisenberry tried to help the leaders feel better, saying, "Listen, all of you, ou can't blame yourselves for this. At this point, we've done everything we can."
Suddenly, Aggie began to think of an idea, saying, "Maybe not. Maybe there's another way I can help her."
"Did you come up with an idea, Aggie," Trollex asked?
Aggie looked at her boyfriend and nodded, saying, "It's a risky one, but one I'm willing to take if it's necessary."
"What do you suggest," Dr. Quisenberry asked the colorful MMt.
Aggie turned around and faced Dr. Quisenberry, saying, "Dr. Quisenberry, I... I want you to take my visions out of me, and I want you to put them in Poppy."
All of the Normal Troll leaders in the room, especially Dr. Quisenberry, were shocked to hear this: Aggie was willing to sacrifice giving up her own visions to help poppy regain her visions?
Outside, while the sun was lowering in the sky outside of Harmonious Land, and the lights were growing dim, Poppy's group was out and about, looking for where
Noah was.
They wound up entering a seaside restaurant, where Noah was scheduled to put on a little show tonight.
The group found where Noah's dressing room was and approached it.
Low-Note Jones, who was struggling to keep up in his wooden clogs, commented, "These clogs are not good for running; it appears I've made a poor choice in footwear, baby."
"Focus, Low-Note Jones. We just need to get the goggles from Noah, and then we should be out and on our way quickly," Branch informed the Funk ambassador.
Poppy nervously knocked on the dressing room door, everyone anticipating the initial response.
The door opened, and Noah came out, saying in disdain, "Oh, it's you Normal weirdos. What do you want"?
Poppy tried to play it cool towards the Senator, saying, "Ha ha! What up, Noah? So um... I was just wondering if you happen to see a pair of cool sunglasses"?
"Cool sunglasses? I didn't find any cool sunglasses," Noah commented in response to the question.
Everyone was relieved at first, until they heard Noah say, "But... I did find these on the sidewalk," and pulled out the pair of goggles they were looking for.
Poppy eagerly tried to reach for them, but Noah keot it out of reach, explaining while oblivious to Poppy; futile reaching attempts, "I was gonna put them in the lost and found, and by lost and found, I mean the garbage. Because I could never see myself wearing them; they clash with my ensemble."
"Well, you haven't put them on yet, have you," Branch asked nervously.
Noah rolled his eyes, saying, "Why would I put these lame things on"?
Poppy nervously grinned, saying, "Ok," and tried to reach for them again, but Noah then slipped the goggles onto his face, saying, "Look at me; I'm a weirdo just like you. I am never gonna be perfect to Noah's standards because I'm too weird and ugly to ever be perfect. I'll always be seen by him and others as a weirdo forever."
While Noah was busy mocking the normal Trolls, the goggles he had on glowed, which meant one thing: the visions were transferring to him, much to everyone's horror.
Once the glow died down, Noah took the goggles off and gave them to Poppy, saying, "Here, take them. Save me a trip to the garbage," before he saw Low-Note Jones's clogs, saying, "Clogs clash with your color scheme entirely."
The group last saw that Noah's ehye glowed an eerie purple light before Noah turned away, re-entering his dressing room and closing the door.
But the damage was already done: the visions were inside of Noah!
Branch saw the horrified expression Poppy asked, asking her, "You just saw the uh..in his..." as he saw Poppy slowly nod.
Poppy stammered out, "I... I saw. He had my..." before she fell backward and fainted out of shock.
"That there sounded laake ayy yes," Holly pointed out in concern.
"Huh, and usually I'm the one who faints," Dante commented.
Val and Synth helped Poppy back to her feet as they went back to the resort to recoup and think of a new plan.
Back at the resort, the rest of their friends were in the dining room, eating dinner together, when they saw the ambassadors, Jeweline and Branch bring in a distraught Poppy.
"Branch? What happened to Poppy," Smidge asked in concern.
"Why does she look so upset," Minuet inquired.
"Is everything ok," Mcagger asked.
Poppy sniffled, saying, "Noah! My visions! They're in him! They're gone"!
"Turns out earlier, due to the actions of someone, who will remain nameless," Val addressed, shooting a look at Jeweline, who looked down in guilt, before continuing with, "Poppy's visions wound up into Noah by accident, and now, we don't know how to get them back."
"Oh no," the Snack Pack, delegates, and associates cried out in shock/unison.
Jeweline tried to sound optimistic, saying, "Don't worry, guys. If my theory is correct, Noah's body will reject the visions."
"And if your theory is wrong," Riff asked, adding, "Or something"?
"Then Booker's visions stay in Noah forever," Jweline answered the Rock Troll.
A loud THUD was heard as the group saw Poppy had fainted again.
"Pop Troll down again," Synth shouted as he and Val helped Poppy recover and get back to her feet.
After Poppy recovered from fainting again, Poppy recovered from her initial state of shock while Branch told Jeweline in determination, "If you could extract them from me, we can extract them from Mitch. So we just need to find a way to get the goggles back on him."
"Yeah, I'm sure we can do that," Biggie said optimistically.
"The only question now is how, yo," Stereo asked.
"We'll need to come up with a plan," Prince D stated.
"I got one," Sid suggested, saying, "Maybe if we can lure Noah out with something that interests him, then that way, we can get these goggles you;r talking about onto him, and we can get the visions back from him."
"Great idea! and i think i might know what'll work," Branch replied.
"Good," Poppy replied, adding, "Cause I need my visions back. I can't just be plain, old, ordinary Poppy for the rest of my life."
Poppy then proceeded to do a series of backflips and cartwheels, much to everyone's surprise, all the way to the entrance/exit of the dining room, saying, "Wooh! Let's go," before running out.
"Yeah, that's ordinary," Cooper commented, chuckling before everyone ran off to follow Poppy.
Aggie flew over to the chair and sat in it while saying, "Come on, doc; hook me up! Being a good friend is everything to me! And if I can give Poppy my visions to make her happy, then I'm gonna do it"!
"Aggie, are you sure about this," Essence asked the MMT in concern.
"How are you gonna explain it to your family if you go through with this," Trollzart inquired.
"Aggie, even if this procedure were to be preceded with, I'm not even sure that we can successfully transfer your visions to Booker. I mean, Jeweline's theory, it's... it's just a theory! It hasn't been proven to be true yet, and even if it is, it might not turn out as well as anticipated," Dr. Quisenberry pointed out.
Aggie retorted back, "I have to do something, doc. As the Master of All Music, I always look out musically, and physically, for my friends, when they are in trouble, or something bad has happened to them."
"But Aggie, you inherited your visions from your grandfathers; how would they feel if they saw you give it up," Quincy asked Aggie.
Dr. Quisenberry then spoke up, saying, "Look, it's clear you want to be a good friend. What if I told you there might be a different way for you to help your friend Poppy"?
Aggie raised her eyebrow curiously, asking, "Are you gonna clone me"?
Dr. Quisenberry chuckled, saying, "No, no, and even if I could, we don't have the right equipment for it. I have a slightly different plan in mind."
"It's not gonna hurt her, is it," Trollex asked the scientist.
"Not at all, your Technoness," Dr. Quisenberry reassured the Techno king before saying to Aggie, "Look, you might not be able to give Aggie your visions, but you can help her with her vision."
"Yeah, I know you're trying to make the distinction between like, visions and vision but I'm not getting it, doc," Barb commented, looking very confused.
Dr. Quisenberry figured his theory would sound confusing, as he said while picking up a pair of electronic goggles, "Perhaps it'll be easier for me to show you."
He gave them to Aggie, saying, "Okay. Here. Place these on and you'll see what I mean."
Aggie placed the goggles on, and Dr. Quisenberry activated a machine that made the goggles glow and produce an image for her to view.
Aggie saw that in this new "vision", she looked a bit older and was walking in a forest, making her say, "This forest area looks familiar."
"It should, Aggie; you're in Pop Forest with us," A voice commented.
Aggie looked over and saw her friends walking beside her; they also looked like they had aged up.
The voice turned out to have come from Poppy, much to Aggie's surprise, as Aggie commented, "Poppy? Guys? What are you all doing here? Why aren't you in Trollstopia"?
"Trollstopia is over; after a while, no one wanted to live together in the city, and they all moved back to their homes," Trollex replied sadly.
"Huh? Ah," Aggie screamed, panicking that her biggest fear was coming true.
Aggie also screamed after she lifted the goggles up, shouting, "Everyone left and are living separately again"?!
"Woah, woah, Aggie! Calm down," Trollex said while hugging his girlfriend, saying, "Hey, it's ok. It's ok."
Dr. Quisenberry commented, saying, "It's all right! It's all right."
"No, no, it is not all right, doc! That was the worst vision I've ever had," Aggie shouted, still reeling from what she saw.
Dr. Quisenberry tried to get Aggie to calm down, saying, "No, no, no; that's because it wasn't a vision."
"Yes, it was, doc! I was old! I was old, doc. It was the future," Aggie retorted back.
"No, no, no. This function simply taps into your deepest emotions. Your desires, your fears, what you saw wasn't the future. You simply saw the thing that you're most afraid of," Dr. Quisenberry clarified, explaining things so it'd made more sense to Aggie and her friends.
Aggie realized that Dr. Quisenberry was making a lot of sense, saying, "Oh, you're right. You're right. Seeing either of my friends unhappy is my worst fear. I mean, that and... You know, a spider crawling up your nose while you sleep."
"Ew..."Dr. Quisenberry shuddered, imagining that fear in his mind.
"Oh, it happens. It's called arach-nose-phobia," Barb commented, saying, "And it's creepy as-,"
"Listen, I appreciate this, but I don't understand why you're telling me this, doc," Aggie asked, still feeling unsure about why the scientist was showing her this.
"Yeah, because Poppy has such big dreams and none of us would never want him to give up on any of them," Trollzart commented.
"She ken sometaames go overboard 'bout it, but she always does it out ov spirit ayn; heart," Delta added.
"But imagine what it'd be like if you had to give up your dreams. Based on your tight friendships together, you all seem to have some pretty big dreams of your own," Dr. Quisenberry suggested to the leaders.
Aggie and the other Normal Troll leaders looked at one another in thought, with Trollex saying, "We do, don't we"?
Dr. Quisenberry then stated, "Look, maybe your biggest fear, and this goes not only for you, Aggie, but your friends too, isn't that you and your friends aren't living together. Maybe your biggest fear is that your friends lose their way and don't pursue their dreams."
"Yeah...he's right," Aggie replied, "It'd scare me really bad to see any of you guys not pursue what you love to do. Giving up something you cherish deeply to help someone in need, it's very kind...but it'd also make me sad to see you sad."
Back at the seaside restaurant, the group was all dressed in formal wear in front of the dressing room door, ready to face Noah again.
"All right, remember: We're just gonna invite Noah to grab a quick bite to eat with us before his show so we can get the goggles back on him," Branch stated, going over the plan.
"Ugh, are these suits necessary? It feels so itchy," Sid complained, feeling uncomfortable.
"Yes, it is. Dressing up should at least give him the sense that there is something serious we wish to talk to him about," Rhythm explained.
"Well, let's do this. Get ready for a welcoming, "What do you want?"," DK Suki pointed out.
"A really condescending one," Legsley mentioned as Branch knocked on the door again.
However, the group was in for a shock when Noah opened the door...and revealed to have lost his usual clothing and was wearing something different. He now had a colorful tie-dye shirt and a matching headband around his head.
Noah even APPEARED differently, saying in a chilled-out tone of voice, "Good day, my friendly visitors. What's hanging, man"?
Jeweline and the Normal Trolls were so stunned to see what happened to Noah, their eyes widened and jaws-dropped.
"Noah," Satin asked.
"Is that...you, Chenille asked.
Noah smiled, saying, "Of course, it's me, you silly Trollies. Isn't this such a groovy world we're living in? And it's such a treat to get to be chatting with you fellow friends of ur community. You're so lucky to get to beseeing everything about Harmonious Land so that we can be able to live together in harmony together one day. I'm not lucky enough to have a twin like you. Lucky! Lucky you all! It's the bee's knees, man"!
"What is happenin'," Gust whispered to the others, who had no idea how this was even happening.
Trying to stick to their script, Branch then said, "Anyway, we were just gonna to order a little snack to eat before your show tonight. Do you want to grab a bite to eat with us"?
"Yeah, we even brought an extra pair of sunglasses for you," Demo commented while holding the goggle.
Noah appeared to be interested, asking, "A quick snack, huh"?
"Yeah, and we know you're gonna say why us "Weirdos" were even allowed me and mock us for trying to do something nice," Smidge stated before Clampers added, "But we promise it'll be fun."
Noah then replied, still easy-going and chilled, "Sorry, I can't. Although it would be very nice to get to share a moment with you all, I still have to get ready for my show, there is a lot of preparations. But perhaps afterward, maybe? After all, consider it my way of any mockery I have said earlier; it is so unlike me."
"So unlike him? How about its part of his ego or whatever you want to call this jumbled mess he's in," Melody whispered to the others.
Noah then said, "Well, I must continue my preparations; stay cool, brothers and sisters," before re-entering the dressing room, leaving the Normal Trolls reeling in disbelief from what they witnessed.
"Seriously, what in the name ov la-le-loo just happened," Buckaroo asked, unable to believe what the entire group had just witnessed.
"Did someone finally turn off his d-bag switch," Sid suggested.
Jeweline spoke up, theorizing, "Since Noah doesn't have VNA, Poppy's vision power must be distorting his perception of how he sees himself."
"Distortion," Rhythm asked.
"More like warped beyond belief," Blues added.
Poppy then started to get a great idea, saying, "I've got an idea."
Back at the research center, Dr. Quisenberry reset the machine before saying, "Now that you've seen the future you fear the most, it's time for you to see the future you desire the most."
"Now we're talking, doc," Aggie said with a smile as the goggles were placed on.
"I wonder what future she desires the most," Quincy commented curiously.
"Well, I know whatever the future is, it's gonna involve fish boy," Barb mentioned.
Trollex blushed, knowing that he was excited to see what the future held for him and Aggie, especially love-wise.
In Aggie's mind, what she was seeing was a clip of Trollstopia, but there were both the Normal Trolls and Magic Musical Trolls living in it together, having fun together.
Aggie and Trollex were sitting together on a mushroom, seeing everyone having fun together.
"Wow, Trollex! I can't believe we were able to succeed in having both our tribes living together again," Aggie said while leaning her head on Trollex's shoulder, smiling at her boyfriend.
"I know; the sight of us living in harmony is perfect, but the sight of you right next to me is even more perfect," Trollex replied, nuzzling noses with Aggie.
Aggie and Trollex shared a cute kiss together, with Trollex saying, "I am so proud of you for following your dreams, Aggie. You're really an inspiration."
Aggie smiled, saying, "Thanks, Trollex. You're the one who inspires me to be the best me I can."
Soon, when the clip ended, Dr. Quisenberry took the goggles off, asking, "How was that"?
Aggie grinned, saying, "That was fantastic. Both our tribes were living in Trollstopia together in harmony, happy, and having fun together. It was amazing."
"Was i in it," Trollex asked curiously.
Aggie flew over to her boyfriend, saying, "Yep," and kissed him on the nose before she turned towards the scientist, saying, "So, doc, which outcome do you think's gonna come true? My desires or my fears"?
Dr. Quisenberry gave a small shrug, saying, "I'm sorry, Aggie. There's no machine that can give you that answer."
Aggie seemed to understand, saying, "I got it, but you can, right"?
The scientist smiled, saying in response, "I think you know the answer."
"Yeah, right, right," Aggie understood, nodding.
"Can we get a hint," Barb asked, earning some chuckles from the leaders.
Soon, back at the seaside restaurant, Poppy and the group had changed out of their formal wear and were set to try the new idea Poppy had come up with.
"Okay, let's go over the script again, guys," Poppy declared, holding a paper in her hands while the group was all dressed in tie-dye.
"Thanks again faw lendin' us these clothes, Low-Note. How do y'all always have tie-dye at the ready," Holly asked Low-Note Jones.
The Funk ambassador chuckled, saying, "Low-Note's always prepared for a tie-dye emergency."
"Focus, guys, let's run through the script," Branch said as he first started to read it, saying, "Hey, Noah. How them good vibes flowing today? Doesn't it make the world seem alright"?
"How about joining us outside for a little night-time stroll before you go sending good vibes to the many people attending your show," Prince D read the next part of the script.
"There might be some bright lights while we're walking, so you'll surely need these sunglasses," Laguna read the last part while holding the goggles.
"Okay, I think we're good. Pet's talk to him again," Poppy commented, satisfied with how the script sounded.
"I don't know, I feel like it could've been better," Guy Diamond critiqued.
"Maybe it's the script you wrote, it sounds super sappy," Val pointed.
"It's never the script," Guy Diamond retorted back.
"Yeah, my daddy's always an excellent script-writer," Tiny Diamond added on.
Branch sighed and knocked on the door to the dressing room again.
When the door opened, and Noah came out...he was no longer in tie-dye or looked chilled and relaxed! He was wearing all black and even had guyliner around his eyes, saying in almost a dead, monotone voice, "Oh, Trolls? How fun to socialize."
"AHHHHHHH," everyone screamed in shock.
"What happened to him this time," DJ Suki asked, shocked to see this.
"Why does Noah look emo," Cooper asked with a chuckle, saying, "Black is the symbol of emo."
Poppy tried to break past the initial shock and stick with the script, saying with a nervous smile, "Wouldn't yo like to get a bit of fresh air before your show"?
"Being around people makes him feel dull. Life is meaningless except for music," Noah monotonously commented before re-entering his dressing room.
"Ok, are we sure this is the vision thingy making him do this yo, or did he go smelling something he shouldn't have," Stereo inquired.
"The vision energy must have changed the way he sees himself again," Dr. Jeweline theorized.
"Thanks, Dr. Obvious," Val retorted sarcastically.
"Now, what do we do," Legsley asked worryingly.
A few minutes later...
The group had all changed into black clothing, and some of the Trolls had eyeliner on to give off an emo-like appearance.
"Okay, let's go through the new script again," Branch addressed, reading, "I say, "This night is darker than the depths of my empty soul. And then Poppy, you'll say-,"
But Poppy then commented frantically, "I'm just doing this," and knocked on the dressing room door.
"That's not what you say," Biggie commented while looking at the script.
"Forget the script! Be ready when Noah opens the door again," Branch spoke up, with everyone anticipating the door to be opened.
Noah opened the door and came out...revealing to be wearing some flashy 1920s attire (Think of Alastor's attire from Hazbin Hotel), saying, "Good evening, folks! Can't talk now, as the night is young, and the radio needs its speed talking host"!
"Yo! What the fast-talk is he doing," Synth asked while the group watched Noah adjust the ends of his old-timey jacket and top hat.
"First, he was nice, now he's speaking like he's in a car commercial," Satin commented, finding the costume weird.
"And dressed like he's applying for a job at some...radio show," Chenille inquired.
"He clearly thinks very highly of himself," Minuet pointed out.
Suddenly, Branch seemed to get an idea of how they could use this current state of Noah to get the goggles on him and get the visions from him as well, saying, "Noah, we may be able to help you with tonight's big radio broadcast."
Noah appeared interested, saying, "Hmmm, I am listening."
Inside the dressing room, Poppy and the group were facing in Noah, back in their regular appearances as Poppy said, "All great radio shows need a special live performance from some talented Trolls. Would you be willing to put on a live show for your "audience" on the "air"?
Noah grinned, saying, "Of course! Anything for the proud fans of the radio"!
He snapped his fingers, and an old-timey microphone slid into the room mysteriously, and the lights dimmed, showing a spotlight over the Magic Swing Troll.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noah: Ladies and gentleTrolls, this is Mambo No. 5.
Suddenly, in the background of the dressing room, Swing music started to play, much to the Normal Trolls' confusion, especially when Noah started to sing and dance.
Noah: One, two, three, four, five! Everybody in the car, so come on, let's ride!
To the candy store around the corner! The boys say they want some chocolate cups, but I really don't wanna!
Sugar-coated like I had last week! I must stay cool because talk is cheap! I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra, and Rita, and as I continue, you know they getting sweeter (Uh!)!
So what can I do? I really beg you, my friend! To me, is flirting gonna ever have an end?
Anything fly, it's all good, let me dump it! Please set in the trumpet!
While Noah sang and danced, the Normal Trolls tried to set the goggles onto his face, but Noah's moves were too quick and slick for them to set the goggles onto his face quickly enough.
Noah: A little bit of Monica in my life! A little bit of Erica by my side! A little bit of Rita's all I need! A little bit of Tina's what I see!
A little bit of Sandra in the sun! A little bit of Mary all night long! A little bit of Jessica, here I am! A little bit of you makes me your man (Ah!)!
Mambo Number Five (Ah!)!
Then, somehow, the swing music was starting to get to the Normal Trolls, as a couple of them started to feel the groove of the music and mimic Noah's dance moves.
Noah: Jump up and down and move it all around! Shake your head to the sound! Put your hand on the ground!
Take one step left and one step right! One to the front and one to the side! Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice! And if it looks like this, then you're doing it right!
Soon, all of the Normal Trolls were dancing while struggling to get the goggles onto Noah.
Noah: A little bit of Monica in my life! A little bit of Erica by my side! A little bit of Rita's all I need! A little bit of Tina's what I see!
A little bit of Sandra in the sun! A little bit of Mary all night long! A little bit of Jessica, here I am! A little bit of you makes me your man (Ah!)!
Trumpet! The trumpet! Mambo Number Five, hahaha!
A little bit of Monica in my life! A little bit of Erica by my side! A little bit of Rita's all I need! A little bit of Tina's what I see!
A little bit of Sandra in the sun! A little bit of Mary all night long! A little bit of Jessica, here I am! A little bit of you makes me your man (Huh!)!
No matter how hard they tried, none of the Normal Trolls, or Dr. jeweline were able to successfully get the goggles onto Noah, he was just too into the groove to stand still long enough to do it.
Noah: I do all to fall in love with a girl like you! 'Cause you can't run, and you can't hide! You and me gonna touch the sky!
Mambo Number Five (Ah!)!
Suddenly, Noah seemed to stand very still, and his right eye was glowing purple.
"Hey guys, pray tell, what's happening to his eyes," Dante asked when he saw the glowing eye.
Dr. Jeweline saw this and gasped, saying, "I think his body's about to reject the visions. Hurry, Branch! Put the goggles on him before..."
Right before Branch could get the goggles onto Noah, a large streak of purple ldt the Magic Swing Troll's eye, making him fall unconscious and fall backward to the floor.
Meanwhile, the spark that was Poppy's visions began to float and bounce around earlier, like when they had first broken loose.
"Woah," everyone said in surprise/amazement.
"So THAT'S what they look like," Sid commented in awe.
"My theory was right! And now the visions are gonna go look for someone with the right VNA," Jeweline mentioned.
Poppy tried to usher the visions to go to her, saying, "Oh! Me! Me! I have the right VNA"!
Then, the visions streak seemed to bounce off of Poppy and Branch's head, narrowly missing their eyes, before...it vanished.
Poppy saw her visions were about to get away and shouted, "Oh no! My visions," and ran out to the door of the dressing room to follow them, but it was hopeless.
The visions were long gone before they could even catch them.
"Where did my visions go," Poppy asked, looking down the hallway frantically.
Noah started to come to it, sitting up while saying, "Hey, why am I on the floor? And why am I in my radio host outfit"?
"Dude, the real question is," Chenille pointed out
"Why do you have a ratio host outfit," Satin asked.
The Senator rolled his eyes, saying, You weirdos don't know my life, not like I'd inform you of it anyway. Now, out! All of you; I have a show to do, and I can't let you ugly freaks ruin my perfect mojo."
Dr. Jeweline and the Normal Trolls left the dressing room, while Poppy looked very forlorn; her visions were gone...again...and this time, they were most likely gone for good.
A little while later, everyone was sitting out on the beach, looking up at the ceiling.
"Well, the good news is Noah doesn't remember a thing," Rhythm said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Bad news is, he's back to being his old self, much to our chagrin," Minuet stated.
Poppy sighed, looking through a telescope, saying, "I wish I were."
"Poppy! Good news," Cooper soon came running over, commenting excitedly.
Poppy quickly perked up, saying, "Did you find my visions"?
Cooper happily answered, "No, but the yogurt shop is having a bogo on fro-yo."
"How does that help us," Riff asked.
"It doesn't, but who doesn't love fro-yo, yo," Cooper replied with a chuckle.
Then, Aggie and the leaders, who were returning from the Quisenberry Center, came up to them, with Essence asking, "Hey, everyone. What are you looking for"?
Poppy replied, "We're looking for my visions. They flew out of the restaurant, and now they're gone forever."
"Uh, ay'm sawry, did y'all say restaurant," Delta asked curiously.
"Long stawry, aunt Delta," Clampers replied, adding, "We'll talk latuurr."
Poppy placed her spyglass down, saying, "It's hopeless, you guys. I'm nothing without them."
Aggie then stated, "Poppy, that's the second time I've heard you say that you're nothing today. And I don't like it; this ends now. We need to talk, all of us, together."
"Sit down," the MMT then addressed, with all the Normal Trolls, including the leaders, sitting together in a circle.
Aggie then said, "Okay, while you guys were on a vision quest, I was kinda on one of my own. And I realized that somewhere along the way, I lost my vision."
"You lost your visions, future sis-in-law," Synth asked, a bit worried.
Aggie shook her head, saying, "No, I lost my vision of what I want my life to be. I first came to you guys wanting help to earn my True Colors, and then once it happened...I didn't know what else I wanted to do. I had my colors, I was beginning to date this handsome Troll here," and kissed Trollex, making the Techno king blush, before adding, "But other than that, I didn't really have a purpose. And Dr. Quisenberry helped me realize that if I don't go after my dreams, then I'm not setting a good example for you guys. You're my friends, and as friends, we're supposed to encourage each other to go after what we really want and wish to do."
Poppy was still a bit confused, asking, "That's...great and all, Aggie, but what does it have to do with me losing my visions"?
Aggie then said, "Poppy... You might not be the Poppy you were when you had visions. But that doesn't mean you can't be the best Poppy you can be. You're capable of doing a lot of great things, stuff that you were able to do even before you had visions."
"Aggie's right. Remember, it was you who was brave enough with Branch to go rescue us when Chef captured the entire Pop village," Biggie mentioned.
"You dared to explore and, while your initial vision of it was impaired, find the other Troll tribes to help unite us together," Smidge mentioned.
"You faced a strike from the ultimate power chord to get through me and make me see the errors of my ways, especially when you destroyed the strings," Barb added.
"You've been a really great queen and have gone above and beyond for your friends, peers, and your people," Trollzart added.
"And you've always been the same sweet, caring, fun-loving queen I've grown to love so much," Branch added, sharing a romantic kiss with his wife.
"See, Poppy? Visions don't define who you are. I mean, it's just like with your new magic abilities, guys. Sure, it's still a mystery how you guys have them, just like it's mysterious how the leaders now have visions, but they don't define who we are. We're still ourselves, even before all of this," Aggie mentioned.
Poppy realized that Aggie, the leaders, and her friends were right; having visions didn't define who she was! She was able to do a lot of many other things, and whether or not she'd get to see the future again or not, she could still be the best Poppy she knew she could be.
Feeling a lot better, Poppy smiled, saying, "Yeah, you're right, guys. I guess I've gotten so used to the visions that once they were gone, it just felt-,"
"Like it didn't feel right? Yeah, it can feel like that, but, no matter what, you're still Poppy. Fun, friendly, and very energetic at times," Aggie added, making everyone break into laughter.
"And this goes for all of you as well," Trollex told the other Normal Trolls, saying, "Whether you have magic, visions, or a special skill unique to you, that doesn't solely define who you are; it's who you are as a person that defines you. Go after your dreams, because if you want something so strongly, you work for it to ake it come true."
"And we're gonna lead by example; my dream is to one day have both our tribes live together in harmony, and if we keep working at it, that day will soon come," Aggie stated while holding hands with Trollex.
"Mine is to one day open my own hair salon, so I'm going to keep training and practicing, so I can become a true professional," Melody stated.
"I'm working hard towards my dream of composing my own orchestra," Dante admitted.
"My dream is to be able to move on from my past trauma, and little by little, I can feel it slowly going away each passing day," Laguna added.
I...actually dream of a world where we all respect each other's differences, and we enhance equality and harmony among us because we're all unique individuals, and I think learning from one another is...pretty great," Sid confessed.
"See? We all have so many amazing dreams based on talents or topics we cherish deeply, and yet, it is not these things only that define us. We're all special in our own way, and we'll always be," Quincy stated.
"True that, baby," Low-Note Jones replied.
Poppy then asked, "Do you think my visions are out there looking for me the way I'm looking for them"?
Branch smiled, saying, "I'm sure, and Poppy, I know you feel alone. But you don't have to, all right? We're in this together."
"Yeah, we're not just friends; we're family," Stereo stated.
"And family always sticks together through everything in life," DJ Suki added.
Poppy smiled, saying, "Guys, I can't thank you enough for...helping me through this."
On cue, their Hug Time watches dinged, making Poppy say, "Hug Time"!
Everyone gathered in different groups to hug, with Aggie and the Normal Troll leaders all hugging together.
Suddenly, Aggie began to get a weird feeling, asking, "Does anybody else feel something"?
Trollex then saw something that made him say while pointing up, "Look"!
Looking up, everyone saw a strange purple cloud with some sparks appearing from it that was floating right above the leaders.
"Our combined VNA is attracting the vision power," Branch theorized.
"My theory is proven," Dr. Jeweline exclaimed happily.
"Quick y'all! Hold taheetuurr, hold taheetuurr"!
"Hold tighter," Essence declared as the leaders all hugged one another tightly.
The cloud then soared down right into Poppy's eye, where Poppy's eye glowed purple for a bit before returning to normal.
Poppy realized that this meant...her visions were back!
"I'm back, "Poppy happily stated, cheering, "I'm back! Not that I needed it though," before remembering the lesson she learned, before adding, "But I'm back"!
Everyone cheered happily for Poppy having her visions back.
"Woohoo," Holly shouted.
"She's back! Popsueak's back," Val cheered.
"Huzzah," Dante and Minuet exclaimed in unison.
Stereo and Synth both mimicked airhorn noises.
Prince D then asked Branch, "Hey, Branch, you gonna be ok with...not having visions"?
Branch nodded, saying, "Yeah, I'll be ok. I may not have visions like the others, but I don't need them; I'm already pretty cool as I am."
Suddenly, Branch felt his eyes widen as he turned his head and saw something playing in his mind.
In his mind, he saw Cooper ask, "Who's hungry"?
When the clip ended, Branch snapped back into reality and gasped when he realized what he had just saw.
The others seemed to notice it too, with Melody saying, "Branch, you just made a visions face again"!
Branch smiled, saying, "Yeah, I did...because I just think I had a vision! On my own"!
Everyone gasped in surprise, with Aggie asking, "Really? By yourself"?
"Yeah, yeah! I guess I must have a little psychic energy in me after all," Branch answered.
"This is awesome! We need to celebrate," Cooper shouted, adding, "Who's hungry"?
"And that...was the vision," Branch pointed out, making everyone break into laughter together, with both Poppy and Branch's right eyes glowed purple.
