The Interview Pitch
When Thursday came around, it was the day of the big interview on TV Pa-Troll, and all of the Normal Trolls were bustling with excitement/nervousness, especially Aggie. She really, really, REALLY wanted this interview to go well because if she and her friends were able to convince at least some of the MMTs of Harmonious Land to come and live with the Normal Trolls in Trollstopia, the chances of both tribes reuniting and living in harmony would be really high, and they'd be one step closer to making that dream come true.
In the condo, the leaders were all getting ready to leave. Poppy was placing on her queen's cape, Branch was making sure his crown looked alright, Trollzart had finished ironing his jacket and was placing it on, Quincy was adjusting his jewelry while Queen Essence was fixing one of her small pigtails, Barb was adjusting her fishnets on her legs, and Delta took out a curler from her hair before she placed her hat on her head.
"Ok, y'all. We're 'bout ready ta head out," Delta declared.
Essence approached the rest of the Trolls, who were currently hanging in the lobby, excited to watch the news interview on the TV, saying, "Are you all gonna be ok here"?
"We are gonna be just fine, your Majesties," Dante replied.
"We're all gonna be chilin' here, keeping our eyes on the TV for you guys, yo," Synth added.
Then, Val spoke up, saying, "Hey, where's Trollex and Aggie"?
"They must be upstairs still," Branch answered.
"I'll go get them," Stereo spoke up, saying while she got up from the couch and went to the elevator to get her future sis-in-law and future bro-in-law.
Upstairs, in Aggie and Trollex's condo room, Aggie was sitting on the edge of her bed, placing on her Master of All Music cape.
Trollex was helping her, gently adjusting it by tying the strings on her cape a bit tighter for it wouldn't slip off or fall. Once it seemed all set, he smiled, saying, "There we are. You feel ready for today"?
Aggie took a deep breath in and out, saying, "Yeah, I feel ready," before she slumped her shoulders, admitting, "Actually, I'm nervous about it if I'm being honest."
Trollex gave Aggie a kiss on the cheek, saying, "Hey, you're gonna do great on TV, Aggie. All you need to do is just be yourself, and everything will work out perfectly."
Aggie answered back, "I know, but...what if it doesn't work, Trollex? What if I end up making myself look like a fool on camera in front of everyone"?
Trollex sat next to Aggie, wrapping his arm around her, while he answered reassuringly, "Hey, no matter what, you'll be amazing during the interview, and I'm not just saying it because I love you. But I'm saying it because I know you, Aggie. You're so sweet and confident, and you're just as passionate about our tribes wanting to reunite as we are. You just have to speak from the heart, and then everything will just fall into place. And however the other MMTs react, whether they agree or not, that's on them. But you just have to stay true to you, true to your thoughts, and you'll be fine. And don't worry; you got me and the other leaders, who are gonna be right by your side, rooting for you, and supporting you all the way."
Aggie giggled and kissed Trollex on the lips, saying, "How do you always know just what to say to make me feel better"?
Trollex shrugged and answered with a playful smile, "I do have a way with words."
Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door, making Trollex get up to open it, revealing Stereo, who said, "Hey, your majesty/future bro-in-law! Everyone's waiting for you and Aggie downstairs! Come down to join them," before she left to rejoin the others.
Trollex chuckled, saying, "Oh my, is it time already? We shouldn't keep the other leaders waiting."
Aggie flew over, standing beside Trollex, while saying, "We better head down to go them so we aren't late to the news station." With that, Trollex and Aggie both held hands together, blushing cutely, before they walked out of their condo room and headed towards the elevator.
A little while after the leaders and Aggie left the condo, they hopped onto Harmonious Land's top-of-the-line method of transportation: the Golden Train, at a nearby train station, which was a beautiful golden bullet train that was made out of the gold that the MMTs collected when they mined for rocks and water, that moved around a lovely set of tracks that would magically appear as the train arrives to each station safely, and rode it to the news station.
Inside, the Normal Troll leaders got to view what the backstage area of the news station looked like while they waited.
"Wow," they all said in awe.
"This place is amazing," Essence commented.
"Look at all of the beautiful video cameras," Poppy pointed out.
Aggie replied, "Yep. That's how we're able to go live in front of all the MMTs in Harmonious Land, with those cameras recording the news anchors, meteorologists, and other people who provide us with important information."
Trollex then saw something, saying, "Hey, look over there! they must be doing a news segment"!
The group turned their heads and saw two MMT newscast reporters sitting at a table together, talking to a camera that was recording them.
A female Magic K-Pop reporter announced while holding some papers, "Good afternoon, I'm Cherry Kandy."
The MMT reporter sitting next to her, who was a Magic Classical Troll, then spoke up, saying, "And I'm Robert AveraTroll! Excitement's in the air as the city mall in Smile-o Smile-o City is preparing for the opening of a brand new store that's opening up this Tuesday: Randy's Robotics"!
Kandy replied, "That's right, Robert! Thsi brand new store entering the mall's gonna be providing all MMTs throughout Harmonious Land with brand new tech, and exciting robots designed to better the future of MMT kind!"
"Already, we are seeing many MMTs excitedly standing in line in front of the mall as we speak"!
The camera shot then showed outside the city mall in Smile-o Smile-o City, where a little Magic Rock boy was standing in front of the mall doors, saying, "Yay, I'm first in line"!
"Definitely got a crowd forming there, Robert," replied Kandy, before she announced, "Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with Harmonious Land's own fellow citizen who's here with the Normal Troll leaders to discuss, on their behalf, their brand new passion project! All that and more, after the break"!
In the backstage area, as the news segment finished so the reporters could take a quick break, Aggie took a deep breath, building up a strong mental focus so she could do well for the interview.
"You got this, Aggie, we are all here for you all the way through," Trollex said, holding Aggie's Classical hand and lovingly stroking it with his thumb to comfort her.
"Do y'all remembuurr what y'all are gonna say," Delta asked.
Aggie nodded, saying, "Yep, I have it all up here," while pointing to the side of her head, gesturing she had it all memorized.
Trollzart then said, "If you get nervous or forget what to say, look at us and one of us will mouth it to you."
Aggie then said, "I'm not gonna forget, guys," before she suddenly got an idea, saying, "Hey, you know how it might be better? If I deliver our message-,"
"In song form," Branch guessed.
"Saw that coming," Poppy added with a giggle.
"Awww, you guys know me so well," Aggie replied happily.
"But in all seriousness, please do not sing during the interview, Aggie! As much as we all love to hear you sing, this is serious," Barb addressed.
"I know, but I feel like I can express myself a lot better when I sing my words instead of just saying them," Aggie reminded them.
Aggie then pulled out a piece of paper, saying, "And I've got this list of a bunch of other ideas I want to say during the interview too"!
Showing the paper to the leaders, they all looked it over, with Quincy saying, "This is definitely quite alist."
"Is that a drawing," Essence pointed out at the bottom of the paper, which was a colorful drawing of some of the Normal Trolls, and some of the Magic Musical Trolls, all happy together, under a colorful rainbow above them."
Aggie nodded, saying, "Yep! This is the big happy ending in the end, when everyone is all happy living together with the other Normal Trolls back home in Trollstopia! Pretty cool, right"?
"It's definitely an adorable drawing, Aggie," Trollzart commented happily on the piece.
"But maybe faw now, just focus on what we went ovuurr togethuurr, understand," Delta asked Aggie.
"And don't sing! I know it's in our nature to do so, we're Trolls, music is what we live for, but this interview has to be done in a serious manner," Branch added on.
Aggie nodded, saying, "Ok, got it, guys. I'll just have to rely on my impressive itinerary of improv skills to make this interview declaration go extra sweet," before she went up to where Cherry was to take her seat for the interview.
"She improvs," Branch whisper-asked the other leaders, with Barb and Poppy shrugging in reply.
"Maybe she should join her to give her a hand," Essence suggested.
"Guys, wait. Aggie said she wanted to do this all by herself since she wanted to be the one to tell her own tribe about Trollstopia, so, let's have some faith and let Aggie give it a shot, and show her we are right beside her in full support," Trollex suggested, showing a lot of faith in his girlfriend.
All of the other leaders nodded in agreement, but it didn't take away the sense of worry in hopes Aggie would be ok doing this.
Aggie saw Cherry sitting on the edge of her desk, sipping on a can of soda, and said, "Hello there, it's nice to meet you. I'm Aggie," and offered her Rock hand out to shake hands with her.
The Magic K-Pop Troll looked at Aggie in a very uninterested manner, saying, "The name's Cherry Kandy, and you can put "that," referring to Aggie's hand, while continuing with, "Away. I don't touch outsiders."
Aggie recoiled her hand back, feeling a bit nervous, while Cherry addressed, "Listen, I'm gonna keep this short and simple: you're here, not because we wanted you to be here, but because it was the orders of the leaders of Harmonious Land who helped to even get this set up for you in the first place so that you can advertise this "important" project created by a bunch of low-average royal Normals."
The leaders all bit their tongues, not appreciating what Cherry had called them, but fought the urge to say/do something in retort.
Cherry then stated to Aggie, "And just because you're part of their "Royal" posse, it doesn't mean anything to me because I could care less about some colorful, diverse "Master of all Music" MMT wants to talk about on live television. So, don't even try to do anything with me or I will not be afraid to drag you down under the depths of Harmonious Land myself"!
Aggie nodded in agreement, keeping her mouth shut, while deep down, feeling her nerves return, but a lot stronger now, as she prayed that her interview would be successful because she had so much riding on this, not just for herself, but for her friends.
Back at the condo, the ambassadors, delegates, and associates were all crowding around the TV, waiting for the news interview to start.
"Hurry up, it's about to start," DJ Suki called out to some of the lagging Trolls who rushed over to join the group by the couch.
"I made popcorn," McJagger commented as he placed a large bowl of popcorn on the table for everyone to eat from.
"Ay made ever'one grape punch," Holly commented as she passed each Troll out a cup of the tasty fruit punch.
Sid commented, "Do we really need to make such a big deal about this? It's just a TV segment."
"Hello, yo! It ain't JUST a TV segment, this interview could be the game changer that helps us be able to have both our tribes reunite together," Synth answered.
Suddenly, on the TV the background music played, making Smidge say, "SHHHHH! It's starting," as everyone eagerly watched the news segment begin.
Back at the news station, Aggie was now sitting next to Cherry, as Cherry's news partner, Robert AveraTroll, announced, "And we're live"!
With the cameras now facing the news crew, Cherry had straightened up in her seat, saying while she gripped her report papers, "Welcome back to our segment! We are here with Harmonious Land's very own Agatha"!
On cue, Aggie saw a bright spotlight shine on her, making her quickly shoot her hands up to protect her eyes before she sheepishly answered as the camera turned towards her, "Um, thank you, and it's actually Aggie."
In the condo, all of the Normal Trolls inside were cheering when Aggie appeared on the TV screen.
"THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND," Melody exclaimed excitedly.
"Amaza-bo-bonkers," R&B commented in unison.
"Guys, guys, they're about to talk about Trollstopia," Prince D stated as they all listened in carefully.
At the news station, Cherry turned her head and faced Aggie, saying while holding her pen to hold in an outburst she had pent up, "So, Aggie, care to tell us all about this "special" project that you and your Normal Troll leader pals have been constantly telling everyone about"?
Aggie gulped nervously, almost feeling unable to speak, especially gazing up at the crowd of MMTs that were watching from a separate backstage area near where the Normal Troll leaders, but when she looked over at her friends, they all offered her warm smiles and gestured her gently to go right ahead and speak.
Aggie smiled, beginning to say, "Well...for as long as I could remember, I was born right here in Harmonious Land and grew up here, and at a very young age, I've loved the idea of how Trolls of different types of music, different genres, different cultures, are able to get along with one another so well. Harmonious Land has always been, and always will be, my home, and you all are the proud tribe I love to represent. And we've all learned about how we are not alone in this world, since out there, above Harmonious Land, there are other tribes of Trolls that live and thrive together, and they're the exact opposite of who we are since they are Normal Trolls. they don't have magic like we do, but they do share the same strong love for music like we do.
It stung my heart when I heard how both of our tribes were isolated from one another for such a long time because of our differences, and to see how we couldn't be able to live in complete and perfect harmony because of what happened many years ago. The fact that no one tried to search for one another and try to convince them to reunite and reason how we can be able to look past our differences and live in harmony once more, it's just really sad."
Feeling motivated, Aggie stood on the desk, surprising Kandy, while saying, "I just can't witness this linge ron any longer, and I know that there are other MMTs out there who feel the same way. We shouldn't continue to let ourselves not be able to get along with the other troll tribes around us because of our differences, or even because of our historic past! I feel that we should now be able to move forward and try to forge new friendship ties with them"!
Standing by one of the MMTs in the crowd, Aggie then said, "So, with that, the Normal Troll leaders and I have been thinking of a way to be able for us, our tribes, to not only be able to make peace, but in a way where we can both be able to live in harmony once again, and that's what this project's all about"!
Heading back to the desk and standing on it once more, she proclaimed, "I present to you all, a brand new place that isn't on your maps, yet, but it will be the place where Trolls of all kinds, of all tribes, can come together na dlive in friendship an harmony just like before: Trollstopia"!
Aggie smiled gleefully, expecting a large amount of Magic Musical Trolls from the audience, or from those watching from who knows where, to be excited or chattering/murmuring excitedly about the idea...but that didn't come to pass. If anything, not a single MMt seemed to respond, like the idea didn't seem to excite them one bit.
At the TV Shack, where the news interview was being broadcast for all to see who were walking down the street.
At the condo, the Normal Trolls that were watching seemed to sense how quiet it got.
"I don't hear any background cheering," Biggie commented.
"You think they like the idea," Stereo asked.
"Is anyone gonna say anything to her," Minuet inquired out loud.
Sid, seeing everyone looking worried for Aggie, commented, "What's on the Food Network"?
In the news station, Aggie quickly grew nervous, seeing how quiet things got and how no one appeared to chatter in agreement to the idea, as she said, "'Cause, I know that we're starting to become friends with the Normal Trolls, but it would be a lot better if we lived with them as well, to get a better understanding of their cultures, and their lifestyles, so that we can be able to gain new respects for how they live, and the way they help to influence their music genres into it."
By Rock Field, Scarlet and her bandmates were watching the interview through Scarlet's phone, and seeing how miserably Aggie was failing, they all laughed in unison.
"Oh my Troll, she's making a big fool of herself, like always," Scarlet commented coldly.
"Ha! The place itself sounded silly, but seeing her doing a bad job presenting it makes it all the sillier," Zyrus added.
By Classical Heaven and Funk Bar, the MMTs that were watching were also having a laugh about this, finding the idea itself to be crazy.
In the news station, a camera Troll chuckled, commenting quietly, "Stupid Troll," as Barb, who heard it, punched him to the ground.
"Barb," Delta and Poppy whisper-shouted.
"What did you want me to do? He called her stupid, and I'm not gonna just let him say that about our friend," Barb replied quietly.
Aggie, keeping her composure, then stated, "Listen, I know that we can't change the past or go back in time to fix the mistakes that our ancestors made, but i think that now, with many years between us, and all of us now in the present of a bright and musical future, we should try to move on from what happened, and mark a new beginning. A new beginning where we can start a new with getting to live together with a new respect, found friendship and even better balance of harmony with both tribes, where we all respect each othr's differences, and get to learn about each 0ther's cultures."
Aggie suddenly had a great idea, as she said with a smile, "Maybe you just need to see things, or rather, hear things, in a new way.."
"Oh no, she's doing it, isn't she," Barb stated.
"Yep," Delta answered back, the two facepalming together.
"Go, Aggie," Poppy and Trollex both excitedly/quietly cheered.
"Why does this not surprise me," Quincy commented with a smile and chuckle.
"Aggie loves to sing, you can;t pry her away from it," Essence replied while watching Aggie proudly alongside Trollzart and Branch.
At the condo, everyone saw that Aggie was about to flip this interview in a musical direction.
"Yay, Aggie," everyone, except Sid, who groaned, cheered.
"Show them MMTs what y'all mean," Gust declared.
"Sing it to 'em, TV adopted sister," Cooper shouted at the TV screen.
At the studio, Aggie snapped her fingers, where out of the blue, after a 3 second period f darkness, a random band of MMTs of different music genres, with different instruments, were seen standing behind her, while Aggie was holding a microphone in her hand, ready to sing, while the band, playing their assigned music genres, of course, playing together in the background.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Start Again by OneRepublic~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aggie: Can't we just turn back the clock? Forgive our sins? Why don't we roll our sleeves up and start again?
I know that our ancestors messed up, and we don't want that to happen 'gain. So, let's all just roll our sleeves up and start again!
Aggie took her performance to the crowd that watched her, singing while flying around the many MMTs that watched her in either confusion, uncertainty, disgust, or nervousness.
I've been thinkin' 'bout our past! Figurin' how we could restart the harmony that didn't last! Look past the self-isolatin' actions, and start a rebirth of new friendship connections!
I know, y'all are thinkin' I'm insane, that this lil' girl from Charimaasin's playin' some game! But stop and consider a bright, colorful future, with both our tribes livin' together under one roof!
Aggie the flew back to the interview desk and danced on it while singing, with Cherry and Robert looking at one another with weirded-out expressions.
You see my world is spinning like there's nothing we can do! You see my world is feeling like if not me, then who?! And yes, I know it's hard to take the drama out of your mind, but just hear what I've got to say, and see Trollstopia in a whole new way!
Can't we just turn back the clock? Forgive our sins? Why don't we roll our sleeves up and start again?
I know that our ancestors messed up, and we don't want that to happen 'gain. So, let's all just roll our sleeves up and start again!
Aggie then decided to change it up again and started to rap, while Trollex was happily cheering, with Poppy eagerly joining in on the cheering, as well as Essence and Quincy, with Branch and Trollzart watched on proudly, Barb facepalmed, and Delta let out a small exhale through her nose and soothed her forehead with her left hand.
Feelin' like it's time we start anew! Start on a clean state, turn the grey skies to blue! I feel like everything we've done before is different now, but it can be better with true harmony between us now!
Every day we livin', and yet, we still goin' through it. The trauma of the past, to this day, it's still seen by me and you! Many of us feelin' like the Normals, can't trust, 'cause of an error in the connection of the past caused disrupt.
At the condo, the rest of Aggie's friends watching were all clapping and cheering while dancing along or bopping their heads to the beat.
But we can make it right now, and I know how! By living in Trollstopia, together somehow! I'm all in, coming from the heart again! Just give the place a chance, and maybe we could start again!
Aggie then returned back to singing happily to the crowd and cameras.
Can't we just turn back the clock? Forgive our sins? Why don't we roll our sleeves up and start again?
I know that our ancestors messed up, and we don't want that to happen 'gain. So, let's all just roll our sleeves up and start again!
Oh! Oh!
And yes, I know it's hard to take the drama out of your mind, but just hear what I've got to say, and see Trollstopia in a whole new way!
Can't we just turn back the clock? Forgive our sins? Let's just roll all our sleeves up and start again!
By the end of the song, Aggie was breathing heavily while looking at everyone, wondering how, or what, they were gonna do as a reaction, surely, this HAd to have convinced them someway...right?
Back at the condo, all of the delegates, ambassadors, and associates were up on their feet, cheering.
"Aggie nailed it," Val exclaimed it.
"Alraheet," Clampers happily cheered.
"There's no way anyone can say NO after a beautiful display like that," Dante commented in awe.
"Leave it to the Master of All Music to convince others the way she does best," McJagger stated.
"Ooh, I bet every MMT is just itching now to start shouting in agreement," Tiny Diamond giddily shouted, peeking out from Guy Diamond's hair.
Sid shrugged and said with a semi-smile, "Eh, she didn't do half-bad of a job, but let's just see how the others are gonna react."
All eyes were on the TV screen, awaiting the reactions of the crowd to see what would come of the display in front of them.
Aggie kept looking at the crowd, waiting for someone, anyone to respond.
In the sea of MMTs, everyone seemed to have a stranged-out/weirded-out facial expression, unsure of what to make of this.
Then, a Magic Country Troll spoke up, saying, "Hoowee, y'all! That raheet there," before adding with a smirk, "Was so stupid"!
Almost every MMT in the entire news studio began to laugh at Aggie, who looked in distraught when she saw them all laughing, thinking her "singing speech" was absolutely ridiculous.
Feeling like she had lost almost every shred of hope, she sadly back down in her seat, bearing the laughter everyone expelled towards her.
All of the Normal Trolls looked at one another in concern before they looked at Aggie and all the MMTs that were laughing; this definitely wasn't the outcome anyone expected. They wanted to help Aggie feel better and not feel so embarrassed, but they couldn't do anything to help the situation, especially because thi was all live.
At the condo, everyone gasped in shock by the reaction of the MMTs in the audience.
"They're...laughing at her," Satin commented in disbelief.
"Or...maybe they think the song was pretty funny," Riff commented, trying to see the brighter side of the situation, but the many deadpanned glares he got in response made him shrink in his seat, adding, "Or something"?
"Poor Aggie, havin' ta enduurr all ov this, y'all," Buckaroo stated sadly.
"I mean, there was the chance of this being a possible response, but I didn't think it'd be in such a substantial amount," Laguna added on.
"What do we do," Blues asked worryingly.
"What can we do," Rhythm added.
"Well...maybe things might change. Look, that news lady is about to talk again; maybe she might've liked it," Chenille pointed to the TV screen, where Kandy was about to speak, but even she was laughing.
At the studio, Cherry recovered from her laughter and said, "Oh, this is just precious: you seriously think that any of the MMTs here gives a flying thought about any of us taking the chance and befriending these Normal Trolls, much less living with them?! How can you even tell if this "Trollstopia" idea even works"?
Aggie took a deep breath in, ready to brave the reporter, but before she could say anything in response, a voice called out, "It does, because we already have a special Magic Musical Troll living with us"!
Everyone turned their heads, while the camera Trolls turned the cameras around to see who it was that spoke. It turned out to have come from Poppy, with the other Normal Troll leaders.
Branch added, "Poppy's right: we already have an MMT who loves living in Trollstopia with us, and you're looking at her," while pointing at Aggie.
Aggie felt touched that her friends were helping to stand up for her, but before she could add anything, Cherry got up, approaching the Normal Trolls, saying, "Oh please! Just because you have a colorful outsider as your "Resident", which made Aggie frown, not out of sadness, but out of anger from being called that, while Cherry continued with, "Does not mean that this "Trollstopia" place would be best suited for other Magic Musical Trolls. And if you don't believe me, believe them," and pointed to the still laughing audience.
Delta then stated, "Aw maybe y'all just feel nervous ta beleuve us, ayn we get it, but it could actually be real useful if y'all just gave the place ayy chance."
"Indeed. Already, we have sent delegates from all 6 of our own tribes to live here," Quincy stated.
"And they've reported to us about how much fun it's been to live there, how they've been able to get along with all the other Trolls around them, and the many friendships they've created with one another," Essence added on.
"We were able to achieve something that hadn't been done in a long time: Rock, Techno, Funk, Country, Pop, and Classical Trolls, once more, living in harmony together again, and we want to be able to extend this wish out to the Magic Musical Trolls so we too can be able to relearn how to get along with them and live in harmony with them as well," Trollzart confided.
"Yeah, after all, isn't that also the wish of the Magic Musical Trolls' ancestors, your ancestors, had? And we can't just not make this wish come true and Trollstopai can be the place where this dram can finally come true," Trollex explained.
Cherry Kandy scoffed, saying, "Oh please. I bet that your "Trollstopia" thing will fall in a mere amount of months. And another thing, where does this "place" even reside"?
Poppy answered, "Well, with Aggie being a huge help, we all worked together to help form it near Pop Village-,"
Cherry then broke into loud laughter again, commenting, "And this just keeps getting better! Making this place near the same tribe that caused the isolation in the first place! Then again, what better way to help build "Friendships" together than with trauma of the selfish decisions of the tribe of music that almost wrecked all our genres of music in the first place"?
Poppy looked like she had gotten the biggest insult of her life, and her heart shattered into a bunch of pieces.
Finally, Aggie had enough and marched over to Cherry, saying, "Ok, enough"!
This was all being recorded live, by the way, so everyone was seeing this interaction go on.
At the condo, everyone saw how Aggie had stood up and was about to tell off Kandy for insulting her friends.
"Ooh," Sid said, finally gaining interest in this, "This is turning out more interesting than I thought."
"Should we be worried," Demo asked.
"Let's watch and see," Low-Note advised.
Back at the news station, Aggie exclaimed, "Look, you can drill about Trollstopia into me all you want, but don't drag my friends down into this! They've been really working hard to help show that they were able to start over and begin to live in harmony again, and all the Trolls of a 6 tribes couldn't be happier! Theyt're all exhibiting how true harmony isn't just a single voice, but a lot of different voice,s different musics, different cultures and customs coming together and showing off how each one if unique, and us, Trolls, getting to learn about them and try them out to create a special connection with the other tribes around us"!
"So? Then, answer me this: taking into account how things may be "peaceful" right now, what qualities does it have to prevent another tribal conflict from erupting"?
Aggie started to answer, "Well-,"
"Or! Or, ooh! Answer me this: those Pop Trolls messed up before; what makes you think they won't make the same mistake again? Or better yet: what makes you think those Normal Trolls won't separate again if things go south," Cherry asked intimidatingly.
Aggie suddenly felt her throat dry up, feeling very unsure of how to answer those questions, and she wasn't alone: none of the Normal Troll leaders knew how to answer it too.
Trollex then bravely stepped in, saying, "Because we know that-,"
"Quiet, fish! I was asking HER, not YOU," Cherry hissed at the Techno king.
Finally, Aggie had enough! It was one thing to insult her friends, but if you went and insulted her boyfriend like that, hell was gonna unleash! Clenching her Rock fist, she glared at Kandy, saying, "Oh yeah?! W-Well, "answer me this" then: how does it feel that...that," before taking the reporter's pen, adding, "That I have your little pen now, you..you...dopey fool"!
The entire studio grew silent for a minute, stunned to see what happened, and no one dared to move, or speak, about what they just heard.
Cherry Kandy looked ready to kill, while Robert AveraTroll gulped, hiding under his desk.
Aggie, realizing what she said, nervously smiled and said a sheepish, "Uh..oops"?
The Magic K-Pop Troll loomed over Aggie, summoning a lot of colorful crystals around her, while she looked ready to ambush the rainbow MMT.
In an instant, a fight broke out between them, with Cherry Kandy launching her crystals at Aggie, while Aggie kept trying to lunge at her.
The Normal Troll leaders watched in shock, seeing Aggie fighting, and they weren't alone, as the rest of their friends back at the condo were watching in shock too.
"We...that turned," Cooper commented in disbelief.
"Oh yeah, baby," Sid exclaimed excitedly, watching the girls in their catfight, saying, "Now, this is what I call news"! He ceremoniously took the popcorn bowl and ate the popcorn inside, saying, "This is the best news interview story I've ever seen"!
Later on, after riding the Golden Train back to the train station, they walked all the way back to the condo, where the delegates, ambassadors, and associates were awaiting their arrival, with the Tv already turned off.
When the leaders and Aggie entered the condo, Aggie looked like a complete wreck, physically and mentally. Her dress was almost torn to some ragged shreds, her hair was messed up, and she had some bruises on her face, arms, and legs.
"W-Welcome back, guys," Smidge said with a nervous smile, with the rest of the group also smiling nervously.
"H-How did everything go," Biggie added.
"You guys saw the interview; I think you can guess," Barb retorted bluntly.
Everyone sighed sadly, with Melody saying, "We know, and we did see; we just wanted to try and not make it seem like it was that bad."
Sid then spoke up, saying happily, "Are you kidding me? What went down was so awesome! Aggie fought that Magic K-Pop witch like a maniac! It was pure TV gold"!
The many glares he received as a result of that statement made Sid sit back down, asking, "What? Too soon"?
Aggie didn't even seem to mind about what Sid said, as she was still upset about how poorly the interview went, saying, "I'm so sorry, you guys. I failed everything."
"Aggie, you didn't fail at all-," Trollzart tried to say, but got interrupted.
"Yes I did, Papa Trollzart! The interview did not go well at all! You guys told me not to sing, and I ended up singing! I made myself look like a fool up there"!
Sid was about to say something, but Holly and Gust covered his mouth, with Holly saying sternly, "Don't ya even say it"!
Aggie continued with, "And worst of all, no one even seemed to like the idea of coming to live with you guys in Trollstopia! I...I feel like I broke the promise i made that we'd be able to have my tribe live together with th rest of the other Normal Trolls! I thought I'd be able to convince them, but I blew it," Aggie shouted, sitting on the floor sadly.
Trollex sat down next to Aggie, saying, "Aggie, don't blame yourself for this, it wasn't your fault. You were doing everything right. Ok, so the MMTs didn't agree with the idea, but that's ok. Who cares about what they think"?
Aggie didn't seem to feel any better from the statement, as Trollex bit his lower lip, saying, "What I mean is, Aggie, that they probably just need more time to get to know us and trust us before they feel ready enough to start living with us."
"Trollex's right. You gave it your best, and that's the best you can give. It's up to them now to make the choice of if they want to live with us or not, and if they don't want to, it's on them," Quincy stated.
Aggie looked up at the leaders, saying, "How can you guys be ok with all of this? Sorry if that sounded off, but, I thought you all would be just as upset as I am that I wasn't able to convince the Magic Musical Trolls to come with you guys with the other Normal Trolls. Especially you, Poppy," while turning her head to face Poppy, adding, "Since I know you were upset about no one liking the idea of Trollstopia when we first came here."
"We are sad," Poppy replied, adding, "But we understand that we can't just create changes right away."
Branch added, "Yeah, it's just gonna take a little more time than we thought."
Synth then stated, "And don't forget, yo; even though other MMTs couldn't be convinced, we at least have one Magic Musical Troll living with us."
"Ayn' it's someone we all cherish ayn' love ta have as our friend," Buckaroo added.
Aggie formed a semi-smile, saying, "I know, it's me."
"And that's all we could ever want, because even if a bunch of Magic Musical Trolls don't want to live us right now, we're lucky to have one with us at least, and it's one who is a special girl, a special friend, and most importantly, the Master of All Music," Trollex said, kissing Aggie on the cheek, making her feel better.
"Plus, who knows? Opinions can change overtime; maybe someday, the Magic Musical Trolls will want to live with us," Prince D commented.
"We just have to let time take its course, and see what happens," Guy Diamond added on.
Aggie stood up, saying, "Thanks, guys. I...still feel a little sad about what happened, but, having you guys here, does make me feel better."
"Well, that's what friends are for: to help you feel better when you're feeling down," Val commented.
"We got your back, girl," R&B commented in unison.
Aggie smiled as all her friends gathered around for a group hug.
"Now, why don't we all sit down and try to wash away these residing sadness feelings with some fruit punch and cupcakes," Poppy asked.
"I'll handle the cupcakes," while making a cupcake come out of his butt, which got everyone laughing as a result.
Aggie was smiling, feeling a lot better. Her friends were right: maybe the other Magic Musical Trolls will someday choose to want to live with her friends with Trollstopia. For now, at least she was lucky to be spending time with them, and she couldn't ask for a better group of friends.
