Rally. I do not own the song and lyrics that you will see as you read on for this chapter today, and I hope you all like it. Now, let's get to it!

Poppy and Branch: You can do it solo!

Aggie and Trollex: But then you'd be all by yourself.

Stereo and Synth: (Synth: Yo!) So, it'd be more fun to share this one with someone else! (Tiny Diamond: Hit it, daddy!)

Rhythm, Blues, Quincy, Essence: Together, we will soar across the sky and beyond! (Prince D: To the great beyond!)

Holly Darling, Buckaroo, Delta Dawn: So, tune-up your voice!

Val Thundershock, Barb, and Melody Song: Stand up and sing along!

All: All different voices (Tiny Diamond: Everybody now!), our melodies ringing. We're living in harmony! Yeah, we're living in harmony! Our song is much stronger will every troll singing. We're living in harmony!

Wait A "Whale"

Stereo was busy relaxing at the spa, getting massages with Poppy and Smidge, saying as the workers gently beat their hair on the recipients' backs as part of the massage, "Ah, this is the life, ain't it, girls? Possibly the best massage I've ever had." Poppy smiled in content and replied while her voice sounded like it was vibrating, "You said it," as Smidge added, "Ah, I don't know if I've ever been so relaxed," and turned her body over to lay on her back. However, it prompted the massage distributers to accidentally hit Smidge's stomach, which the yellow Pop Troll felt and commented after they stopped, "That felt less relaxing." Stereo and Poppy both broke into a chuckle, with Poppy saying, "After the week Branch and I have had with helping Pop Trolls, one after the next, this is just what I need, and the spa's the perfect place to come, and unwind." Around them, there were other Trolls who were getting pampered at the spa, with manicures, facials, and soaks in the nearby hot spring. Then, Poppy saw someone sitting on a lawn chair that she didn't expect to see: Val, who was wearing a purple robe, Kitty Critter slippers on her feet, and was reading a Glitterborn Chronicle scrapbook, making Poppy gasp, and say, "Val! What are you doing here," as Val heard Poppy's voice and was startled by the Pop Queen's presence, dropping her book on the chair and landing on the ground. The sight of the Rock ambassador in a robe was enough for the three girls to break into a giggle, with Smidge commenting, "Yeah, I didn't think spa treatments were your thing exactly." Val frantically tried to get her robe off and kicked off her slippers while saying, "What?! Oh, they're totally not! At least not the "froufrou" kind." Poppy, Smidge, and Stereo, despite laying on their tummies, were still able to cross their arms and smirk, and say, "Ah, uh," in agreement with Val's statement, but knew deep down, Val most likely did like the "froufrou" pampering. Val then commented while rubbing a spot on her back, "Yeah, I, uh, I think I tweaked something during band rehearsals earlier, and I just came here to get a deep tissue sports massage," while trying to act like her usual tough self. Then, one of the spa workers came up to Val, saying, "Miss Thundershock, we have an opening for you right now for your pampered muscle massage and indulgent manicure." Smidge and Stereo were doing their best to stifle their laughter while Poppy simply smiled at Val, saying, "Ooh, that sounds delightful." Val nervously twiddled her thumbs and let out a sheepish chuckle while she said to the worker, "Oh! i-I'm pretty sure that's not what I signed up for." the worker looked at his clipboard and said, "But it's labeled here as your usual-," before Val then interrupted with, "And it seems like you're kind of busy today! I'll just come back tomorrow." she then faced her friends while saying, "Uh, see you three later! Have fun," before she landed towards the worker and whispered, "But put me down for the same thing," before she ran off.

All three girls broke into laughter, with Stereo commenting, "Too bad Val Thundershock just "hates" those "froufrou" spa treatments; she could've joined us in our relaxing massage." Suddenly, Stereo saw her Hug Watch ding, making her say while getting up, "Speaking of leaving, I gotta go! Synth is hosting a rave, and you know me: I can't miss out on watching my Synthesizer perform! Plus, he's gonna even let me DJ for a bit and play a song at the rave! I'm so excited, it's making me feel so *imitates airhorn noises*! See you girls later," and started to head to the lagoon, diving into the pond and swimming to the dance floor. Once she made it, she saw a huge crowd of Techno Trolls partying and dancing to the music, while her lover was on the DJ set, manning the music. Stereo blushed heavily watching Synth working on the DJ set, as she looked up and giggled when she another wondrous sight: Aggie and Trollex were swimming and dancing together, hand in hand. Stereo watched the happy couple dance as she then got an idea and blew a heart-shaped bubble that floated up towards them. Aggie and Trollex both saw the bubble rise and it popped in between their noses, making them both blush and giggle, looking into each other's eyes fondly as Trollex caressed Aggie's cheek while the MMT kissed Trollex. Stereo watched and squealed excitedly when she saw her future sister-in-law and the Techno king kiss, saying, "Awwww, so cute"! Suddenly, Stereo felt a pair of hands cover her eyes and ask playfully, "Guess who"! Stereo blushed and felt the hands that were covering her sight, smiling while saying, "I can only name one Troll with a voice like that: Synthesizer"! Synth giggled and uncovered her eyes, saying, "Yeah! You're right! As your reward, you win a kiss," and the two happily shared a cute kiss together, with Stereo saying, "Oh, Synthesizer, you sly romantic." Synth blushed and said, "Hey, i'd do anything for my family and friends, and especially for the love of my life. Come on, we got a rave to hype up. Care to join me in a little song before our lesson"? Stereo nodded eagerly as Synth guided her to the DJ set, where Beat was already in his little button spot, saying, "Hey, Synth! Stereo! This rave is the bomb"! Synth chuckled and said, "I know, totally the bomb, yo! Thanks again for helping me with the beat drop; I know you usually do that with my brother on his DJ set." Beat smiled and said, "no worries; you know me, I love to be pressed when the bat's all built up"! Stereo then said, "in that case, let's pump this rave to the next level," and pulled out two seashell microphones, giving one to Synth, as they both started to sing, while Stereo watched Synth work the buttons and turntables, so she could have a basic idea of how to DJ.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Celebrate You by Corbin Bleu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beat, Synth, and Stereo: Oo oh, oo oh! Oo oh, oo oh... aah-aah!

Synth: Every day is the right day (Beat: Right day!); it's easy to understand!

Stereo: Cause you get the chance and you take it! Make it the best you can make it! Why should you hold back?

Synth, Stereo, and Beat: It's the time of your life! You don't want to miss out on right here and now! There's so many reasons why! You don't wanna stop; it's your chance, live it up! And everything you do!

Synth: Celebrate you (Stereo and Beat: Oo oh, oo oh!)!

Stereo: Celebrate you (Synth and Beat: Oo oh, oo oh!)!

Synth, Stereo, Beat: Aah-aah!

Then, Synth saw Aggie and Trollex dancing near them and shouted, "Yo, bro! Future sis-in-law! Join in," and tossed them both two seashell microphones, prompting Aggie and Trollex to start singing with them, together.

Aggie and Trollex: Every time is the right time (Beat: Right time!); so make every second count!

Trollex: Go for your dream, you can live it!

Aggie: Reach for the skies, no limit!

Aggie and Trollex: (Synth: Celebrate!) Celebrate what you're all abo-o-o-out (Stereo: Ouuuuh!)!

It's the time of (Stereo: Your life!) your life! You don't want to miss out on right here and now (Synth: Wooo!)! There's so many reasons why! (Beat: You don't wanna stop!) You don't wanna stop; it's your chance, live it up! And everything you do! Celebrate you!

Synth: You, come on! Make the party last!

Aggie and Trollex: Forever! And ever!

Stereo: Have the best time you've ever had!

All: Then go break free! Yea-eah!

Beat: Celebrate you!

The beat was really pumping now as every Techno was having such a blast, especially when Synth shouted, "Get ready for the beat drop," while Beat excitedly exclaimed, "I'm ready"!

Trollex: Everyone has a reason (Beat: Reason!)!

Aggie and Stereo: A reason to celebrate, yeah!

Synth: Cause you get the chance and you take it! Make it the best you can make it!

All: Whatcha waiting for toda-a-a-ay?!

On cue, Synth dropped the beat and pressed Beat, making a pulse of music that got every Techno jumping to the chorus of the song

All: It's the time of (Trollex: Your life!) your life! You don't want to miss out (Aggie: On right here and now!) on right here and now! There's so many (Beat: Reasons why!) reasons why!You don't wanna stop; (Synth and Stereo: It's your chance, live it up!) it's your chance, live it up!

Stereo: And everything you do! Celebrate!

Beat: Celebrate!

Aggie: Celebrate!

Synth: Celebra-a-a-a-ate (Beat: Oh!)!

All: And everything you do!

Trollex: Celebrate you (Beat, Aggie, Stereo, and Synth: Oo oh, oo oh!)!

Aggie: Celebrate you (Beat, Trollex, Stereo, and Synth: Oo oh, oo oh!)!

Stereo: Celebrate you (Beat, Trollex, Synth, and Aggie: Oo oh, oo oh!)!

Synth: Celebrate you!

The entire crowd was all up on their feet, erm..fins, cheering and applauding for the performance, with Synth then saying into the microphone, "Thanks so much, yo! We love performing for you guys as much as we love to ra-ave! You're all so totally *imitates airhorn noises*," as the audience all mimiced the airhorns noises, including Stereo. Synth blushed before adding, "Now, it's time to turn this party up to twelve because my beautiful love Stereo is going to be the Dj and play the next song up, and even play another beat drop, yo! whos' excited"?! the loud cheers of the crowd got his answer while Stereo looked at the crowd and suddenly felt herself feeling a sense of nervousness, whispering, "Synth, are you sure you're willing to let me do this"? Synth nodded and said, "Don't worry, you got this, and if you need any help, my brother and future sis-in-law and I will be right here in case you need a little friendly advice." Stereo smiled as Synth gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before she swam over to the DJ set, looking at all of the buttons and switches on it, feeling a bit nervous. it was way more complicated than she initially thought a DJ set would be. She knew very well it had a lot of buttons and gadgets for different sound effects and beats to play for each song, but it was very hard to tell which one was what, and worrying about making a mistake and playing the wrong thing was enough to make Stereo gulp and whimper slightly, feeling very unsure of herself. Luckily, Beat spoke up, saying, "Don't worry, if you need any tips, I'm here to help too." Stereo smiled, feeling better, as she took a deep breath in and out before pulling out a record, shouting to the audience, "Who's ready to par-tay"?! Hearing the crowd's cheers, Stereo spun the record on her finger before placing it on the turntable set, giving it a bit of a scratch before starting to press a button that played the song. All of the Techno Trolls happily danced to the song as Stereo saw that she luckily had pressed the right button. Deciding to experiment more, she started to press a few more buttons, with Beat and Synth guiding her along the way as Stereo started to get more and more comfortable with working the DJ set. Even Trollex was impressed, saying, "Hey, not too shabby, Stereo, you're doing a great job"!

Stereo smiled, saying, "Thanks, your majesty," while Aggie added, "Yeah, you're getting great at this! You ready to try and drop the beat"? Stereo looked at Beat, who gave her an affirmative nod, as Stereo smiled and nodded, shouting, "Get ready for the drop, yo"! All of the Techno Trolls anxiously and excitedly prepared for the beat to drop, as Stereo raised her hand, saying, "Wait for it! Wait for it"! Synth became giddy and flicked his tail, shouting, "Come on, yo, just push it"! Stereo smirked and started to slowly lower her arm while the beat got built up, adding, "Wait for it," as Trollex was now getting giddy, saying, "Push it, Stereo"! Beat was shaking and glowing brightly, saying, "Just do it, girl," while Aggie added, "Nail that beat drop, Stereo! Push Beat"! When the time came for Stereo, thinking she was ready to drop it, she shut her eyes and slammed her hand down, pressing what she thought was Beat and making the beat drop...but it became utterly silent. Stereo opened her eyes and saw that she had accidentally pressed the button NEXT to Beat, as the amoeba fish commented, "uh, you were close at least," while Stereo asked, "Wait, if that didn't drop the beat? What did I just hit"? Suddenly, the DJ set started to play some strange sounds, which made the audience very confused, while Trollex commented, "Uh oh, sounds like you pressed the button that plays Whale Critter noise by mistake." Stereo gasped and blushed in utter embarrassment that she had made a wrong error on her first time on the DJ set, prompting her to swim off in a panic, while Synth shouted, "Stereo, wait, come back," and swam after her. Trollex, Aggie, and Beat (once he had disconnected himself from the DJ set) followed the Techno ambassador as they went after Stereo. Stereo swam and hid behind a patch of seaweed, hugging herself while still feeling embarrassed about what had just happened. Despite being underwater, she could feel tears stream down her face, trying to not break into a heavy sob until she felt someone brush their thumb against her cheek and wipe away her tears. Stereo looked up and saw that it was Synth, who held her close to him while saying, "Hey, Stereo, it's ok." Stereo hugged Synth tightly, crying into his chest as she said, "I made myself like a fool out there, Synth! What Techno DJ plays Whale Critter noises at a rave?! I'm awful"!

Synth slowly caressed her cheek while saying, "Hey, don't beat yourself up about what happened, yo; we all make mistakes. No one's perfect the first time they DJ. Did you know that when I first started to DJ, my first rave, I accidentally made the speakers send out so much feedback, it made the dog fishes howl." While still feeling a bit bad, Stereo couldn't help but snicker a bit, asking, "Really," as Synth chuckled and replied, "Yeah, they were all like," before mimicking a dog barking and howling, swimming around all silly-like, making Stereo laugh, clutching her sides. Synth always had a way of making her feel better when she was sad, and it was definitely working right now, as the glittery Techno smiled while she giggled. When Synth got close to her, she scratched behind Synth's left gill-fin, making the ambassador relax and even start to pant a bit like a dog, tapping his right fin on the sandy floor, while Stereo said, "There we go, that's a good Techno prince. Who's a good prince? Who's a good ambassador? You are! Yes, you are." Synth and Stereo both broke into laughter before Synth puffed his chest out in pride and said, "There's that smile I like to see, yo. Feeling better"? Stereo nodded, saying, "Yeah, I do feel better. Thanks, Synthesizer, though I do still feel guilty about messing up that beat drop." Synth commented, "Don't worry, yo. You'll get it right again if you give it another try," before they heard Trollex, Aggie, and Beat approaching them, with Trollex saying, "There you guys are! We've been looking everywhere"! Synth and Stereo faced the couple and the amoeba fish, with Stereo saying, "Sorry for swimming off like that. I just felt really bad for messing up the rave and the beat drop." Aggie placed a hand on her future sister-in-law's shoulder while saying, "Hey, it's ok, Stereo. No one's perfect on their first try all the time. i know that when I first learned how to work a DJ set, it wasn't easy, but I just kept practicing before I became a pro at it, and I know with a little more practice, you'll nail the beat drop with ease." Stereo then said, "Thanks, future sis-in-law, but I don't know if I even have the confidence to approach everyone after that mess-up." Aggie then smiled and said, "Well, there's only one way to find out. Come on," and grabbed Stereo's hand with her Classical hand and dragged her along while swimming back to the dancefloor, while Stereo shouted, "Wait, Aggie-AHHHH," as the boys followed her.

When they were close to the dancefloor, Stereo found a way to pull herself from Aggie's grip and said, "Aggie, I want to, but I'm way too scared. I'm worried everyone's gonna laugh at me because of my mistake. Aggie saw the scared look in Stereo's eyes as she said, "Stereo, I know you feel this way, but the only way to get over something scary is to face your fear head-on. When Buckaroo and I were solving a mystery about locating missing Puffalos, Buckaroo was really terrified about going into caves, but after I encouraged her to face her fear head-on, she stood up and went in, and now, she's...still a bit scared of them, but not as much as before. And I know you can get over this if you face it head-on too. No one's gonna laugh, and we're gonna be right there beside you." Trollex then said, "Tell you what: why don't Synth and I talk to the crowd about what's happened and make sure no one laughs at you? Would that make things feel better"? Stereo nodded and said, "Well, ok, I guess you can do that, your majesty." Synth smiled and said, "Come on bro," and Trollex, Beat, and Synth went to the dancefloor to go talk to the other Techno Trolls. Meanwhile, while Aggie and Stereo were waiting, something in the distance, narrowing her eyes to get a closer look, as she asked, "What's that"? Stereo turned her head and went to look, saying based on what she thought she saw, "Oh, it's just a small fish, no biggie. Hi, little fish! If you came for the rave, you, uh, kind of missed it already." However, as the "little" fish started to get closer in view, Aggie seemed to pick up on what it was, saying, "Stereo, I've seen little fish, and I don't think that's a little fish." Aggie was right as the "little" fish actually turned out to be a BIG fish, and not just any fish, a GIGANTIC Whale Critter, who was swimming around, still far away from them luckily, but close enough to get a view of it. Aggie and Stereo gasped at the sight of the large sea animal, with Stereo saying, "Oh, oh-oh, big fish, bi-whale, Whale Critter! My mistake must've called it to come here"! Aggie tried to make Stereo feel better while saying, "Well, maybe it was just a lucky coincidence that it came, but I'm sure-," as Stereo sighed and said, "I appreciate you trying to cheer me up, but let's face it: my mistake just made things grow worse"!

Synth soon came back to the girls, saying, "Trollex is busy talking to the other Techn-Oh, woah, woah woah yo! Is that a whale Critter"?! The whale Critter swam around, with Aggie and Stereo both saying, "Yep." Synth then said, "I hope it doesn't cause an accident, but I wonder what it's doing here anyway. I'll ask it. Luckily, I speak Whale Critter." Stereo, who was curious, asked, "Huh? You speak Whale Critter," while Synth nodded, saying, "Yeah, yo. Watch me become one with the Whale," and took a deep breath in and out. He then started to make a bunch of weird noises while speaking in a very, very, VERY emphasized voice to try and make his words sound as projected and close to whale noises, "Excuse me, fellow whale"! Aggie cringed from Synth's "attempt" at whale speak, with Synth continuing with, "We need to." Stereo watched curiously as Aggie started to say, "Uh, Synth, what are you doing-," while Synth continued with the grand facial expressions and noises, saying, "Have you move over." Aggie facepalmed and said, "I am starting to think you can't-," before Stereo said, "Shhh, give him a chance, Aggie,; it might work." Synth continued with, "Can you tell us why you are here," as Aggie watched the Whale Critter, who didn't seem to be listening, start to swim away, while she said, "Synth, Troll's know what you're saying! Oh, look, see, it's swimming away." Synth continued on with the emphasized facial expressions and noises, continuing to "speak whale" saying, "Come back," while Aggie swam next to Synth, saying, "Synth, I don't think it's coming back; I think you might've offended him." Stereo then said, "On the plus side, at least it's gone now." However, Synth was not done yet, as while he was now facing the girls, he said, "Maybe I need to try a different dialect," and started to a new weird noise. While Stereo was giggling from watching her husband trying to speak whale Critter, Aggie groaned and said, "Synth, you know I care about you, but you're not speaking whale, you sound like you have an upset stomach." Synth then suggested, "Maybe more with deep bass vocals," and started a new weird noise that sounded similar to choking, while Aggie said, "Synth, do not try bass vocals! Now, you almost sound like you're sick." Synth then said, "Maybe change it up a bit," and made the sound he was making earlier louder, with Stereo commenting, "Ok, I got to agree with Aggie here, now it's starting to sound a bit off, Synth. Maybe you should give it a rest."

What the trio did not know was that behind them, the Whale Critter was slowly approaching them from behind. Synth then pulled out his DJ set and said, "Maybe I should add some autotune, I sound too much like a tiger shark. Future sis-in-law, do I sound like a tiger shark"? Aggie facepalmed and said, "You do not sound like a tiger shark," while Synth kept making his voice sound now high-pitched, trying to talk whale, as Stereo then said, "Well, there's one good thing out of this: at least the Whale Critter wasn't hungry. Thank Troll there's no krill here." Suddenly, the trio saw a huge flock of krill swim past them, shouting, "Swim away," while Synth waved at the krills, saying, "Oh, look, krills, yo"! Aggie then turned around and saw that the Whale Critter from before was now not only behind them, but it was also starting to open its mouth and swallow whatever was in front of it, and to the trio's horror, THEY were in front of it! As the Whale Critter opened its mouth, Aggie, Synth, and Stereo all tried to swim away, with Aggie shouting, "Move, guys, quick," as they all screamed in fright before getting stuck inside the mouth of the Whale Critter, as the beast closed its jaw. Inside, all three Trolls laid on the tongue of the Whale Critter unconscious, with Aggie being the first to come to it, looking at her surroundings as she saw they were now INSIDE the Whale Critter's mouth! Aggie saw Synth and Stereo laying there and swam over to their bodies, shaking them while saying, "Guys, wake up! Wake up"! Stereo quickly came to it, saying, "A-Aggie? Is that you"? Aggie helped Stereo up before going to Synth and shaking him, saying, "Synth, wake up"! However, the Techno ambassador didn't wake up as quickly, muttering, "Just five more minutes, mom." Aggie had a deadpanned expression on her face as she pulled out an air horn and blasted it in front of Synth's face, startling the Techno ambassador, who woke up, saying, "I'm awake, yo! I'm awake, yo"! He then looked around, asking, "Where are we"? Aggie explained, "The Whale Critter must've swallowed us and we got sucked in." All three Trolls looked around to see their surroundings, nothing but gums, hay-like teeth, and a long, wiggly tongue for miles on end. Synth swam around freely, thinking that it was kind of cool, saying, "Man, look at all of this room! So this is what it's like to be inside the mouth of a sea animal," while Stereo added, "I feel like Troll-nocchio in the scene where he got swallowed by a Whale Critter, but its much more daunting in real life." Aggie then said, "Let's not get distracted you two, we got to find a way out of here before we get sucked into the stomach and digested."

Aggie then swam backward and stared down the closed teeth before charging forward, swimming fast and screaming while colliding head-first into the teeth, thinking she could break their way out. However, it did not even budge, as Aggie then swam back and decided to try again, while Synth was having fun swimming around all playful-like, not at all concerned about the possibility of being eaten. Aggie then charged again, trying to hit the wall of teeth, but once again, nothing budged, no matter how hard she hit it. Stereo watched in the corner as Aggie kept trying to barge through the teeth while Synth was swimming around all carefree, saying while swimming backward, "Here comes a big one, yo! Woo-hoo! *imitates airhorn noises*! Come on, Aggie, you gotta try this"! However, Aggie was not having it, saying, "Synth, can you just stop it?! We're stuck in a Whale Critter, and all you can think about is having fun"?! Synth replied, "Uh, yeah, it helps lighten the mood." Aggie groaned and said, "The mood we have right now that right now, we are close to being eaten! In a Whale Critter YOU tried to talk to, and now we're stuck"! Synth then commented, "Well, I do speak Whale Critter-," as Aggie mentioned, "No, you're crazy, and you can't speak Whale Critter! We need to get out"! She kept barging at the teeth while saying, "I got to get to Trollex! I got to tell him! That! I! Love him! So much"! However, after doing so many barges, Aggie grew weary and floated down to the tongue, laying there in exhaustion, as Stereo swam to her, sitting next to her, saying, "I'm so sorry, Aggie; this is all my fault. If I'd never touched that button, this fella wouldn't have come and we wouldn't be in here in the first place. I ruined everything, and now, our lives are close to being threatened because of a mistake I made." Aggie looked up at Stereo before calming down, saying, "Hey, don't blame yourself. What happened to you could've happened to anyone. Maybe not in these exact circumstances, but, what matters is that at least right now, we are alive and safe...of some sort...and that we're together. I probably shouldn't be getting so riled up, I'm just worried about Trollex and the other Techno Trolls; I'm scared something might happen to them." Stereo then said, "Don't worry, if I know Trollex, I know he'll do everything in his power to make sure that his people are safe from the Whale Critter. after all, he's brave and loyal to his people, just like some Troll I know," and winked at Aggie, meaning she was also referring to her.

Aggie then got back up, as Synth added while joining them, "Yeah, yo, and besides, you're not alone, we're all stuck in here together, and I'm sure together, we can find a solution to get out of here. We just got to put our heads together and think." The trio started to think together until suddenly, Aggie got an idea, saying, "Hmmmm, maybe we can try to make the whale open its mouth so we can swim free. But how can you make a fish open its mouth on the inside"? Synth then got an idea, saying, "I know! We can tickle the Whale Critter and make him laugh so hard, he opens his mouth to laugh"! Synth and Stereo both made their hair into feather shapes while Aggie pulled out a feather from her pocket, saying, "Well, let's give it a try." They swam to the gills of the Whale Critter and started to tickle it with the feather, Synth saying, "Cootchie cootchie coo," while Stereo said, "I sure hope this works." Suddenly, they heard the whale bellow something while its mouth was still shut, but it was so loud, it made the trio cover their ears to block out the noise while the inside of the mouth shook like an earthquake. Once the bellowing died down, everyone uncovered their ears, with Synth saying, "Yo, we're gonna need a new plan. Anyone got a plan B"? Stereo then said, "Well, if tickling it didn't work, maybe we can make the Whale Critter...um...I know! Singing! If we can get it to sing, it'll open its mouth"! Aggie then said, "Nice idea, Stereo! But...how do you make a whale sing"? Synth joked, "You play opera music," as he broke into laughter, thinking it was funny. But when he saw the confused look Stereo had, and the deadpanned stare Aggie had, he cleared his throat and said, "Ok, maybe not the best time for a joke. Um...ooh! Maybe if you play that button again and play some Whale Critter noises, it'll reply and sing back." Synth then pulled out his DJ set and placed it in front of both girls, saying, "Go right ahead Stereo! Drop some whale Critter sounds and let's turn it up"! However, Stereo looked at the DJ turntables nervously and gulped, feeling unsure about working the turntables again after the mess up from earlier, as she rubbed the back of her hair while saying, "Uh, I don't know, Synth. Maybe we should let our future sis-in-law take the turntables on this, one," while pushing Aggie forward.

Aggie looked back at Stereo saying, "Stereo, I'm sure you can do it if you give it a try." Stereo twiddled with her thumbs and mentioned, "Yeah, but you're the Master of all Music, you're totally *imitates airhorn noises* on the turntables"! Aggie knew Stereo was feeling nervous again about being a DJ and trying out the turntables, so, to help her future sister-in-law relax, she smiled and said, "In that case, I'll do it." Aggie swam over to the turntables and pressed the button that played Whale Critter noises, everyone hoping that it would help the Whale Critter open its mouth. The turntables started to play the Whale Critter noises loud enough so the critter could hear the noises that were playing inside of its mouth. As it kept playing, Synth then got an idea, saying, "Maybe I can try to talk to it again," and swam up to the roof of the mouth, starting to make noises, mimicking Whale Critter sounds like earlier, but also like earlier, they sounded really off, nothing compared to the actual noises a Whale Critter could make, as Synth now sounded like he was trying to moo like a polka-dot buffalo. Aggie and Stereo both watched uncomfortably with Aggie trying to speak up and call Synth to get him to stop, until suddenly, they heard the Whale Critter bellow again, making the inside of the mouth shake and rumble as it spoke. Everyone shook around and covered their ears to block the sound, as Synth then uncovered his ears and said, "Uh, I think it said we stopped." Aggie and Stereo both uncovered their ears and saw that the Whale Critter had stopped swimming and was now stationary, making Aggie say, "Well, of course, we stopped, finally. But stop trying to speak Whale Critter, Synth! It might makes things worse," as Stereo asked, "Well, if we've stopped, things can't get any worse, right"? suddenly, everyone heard a brand new sound, making Aggie ask, "What's that noise," while they tried to figure out what was making the sound, until they all turned their heads and saw that the Whale Critter was starting to swallow the water it had in its mouth, making it go down. The sight of the water levels starting to lower made everyone nervous as Synth declared, "Uh oh, yo! The water's going down; it's going down"! stereo nervously hugged Synth while asking, "Really? Are you sure," as Aggie added, "Yeah, look! It's already half-empty"! As the water slowly lowered more, Stereo looked up curiously saying, "Hmmm, I'd say it's half-full," before Aggie facepalmed and said, "Stop that! It's half-empty," before Synth then remembered something, mentioning, "Wait, yo, we don't need to worry; we can breathe air, remember"? Aggie groaned and said, "Yeah, but also, we're stuck in the Whale Critter's mouth, and if we don't get out of here, we're going to get swallowed like the water"!

The Whale Critter bellowed again, making the inside of the mouth shake and rumble, as Synth listened closely to the Whale Critter, while Aggie and Stereo covered their ears again, and then commented, "Ok, yo, this one's a little tougher now. Either the Whale Critter wants us all to go to the back of the throat, or he's asking us to fetch him a root beer float." Stereo then asked while lowering her hands, "Where are we gonna get a root beer float at a time like this," as Aggie commented, "Well, that leaves us with the most obvious one: he wants us to go to the back of the throat! That's literally eating us"! Aggie then began to flick her tail fin on one of the Whale Critter's taste buds while shouting, "How do I taste, Moby?! Huh?! Do I taste good?! You tell him I am not interested in being lunch"! Synth nodded and said, "Ok, future sis-in-law," and started to try and speak Whale Critter again, but Aggie stopped him by covering his mouth and shouting, "STOP TALKING TO HIM"! Stereo then whimpered, saying, "Oh, it's all my fault! My raving got us into this mess"! Suddenly, Stereo began to develop an idea, saying, "Hey, wait a minute! If my mistake from raving got us into this, could raving get us out"? Aggie and Synth both looked at Stereo, who explained, "Ok, this is a crazy idea, but maybe if we play some rave music in here, the music and the vibrations from the speakers might trigger the Whale Critter to release us and we can swim away free"! Aggie commented, "Are you sure this is a good idea, and if it is, we better make it quick or else we're gonna end up in the stomach," as Synth added, his voice muffled since Aggie was still covering his mouth, "Yeah, go for it, hon! My DJ set is over there," and pointed to the open DJ set. Stereo swam over to it and pushed it to Aggie and Synth, saying, "you two can handle the music"! Then, Aggie smiled and said, "Actually, I think you can do it this time, Stereo," as Stereo nervously gulped, saying, "Huh?! me?! B-B-But I can't, Aggie! what if I make another mistake or something worse happens"?! Aggie then said, "We believe in you, Stereo! We know you can do it"! Synth added, his voice still muffled, "Yeah, yo! I trust you, Stereo, and I know you can do it! you just need to have faith in yourself and try! don't worry if you can make a mistake, just give it a go and see what happens, yo! We trust you! We believe in you! You just need to believe in yourself"! Stereo, luckily, was able to interpret what her husband said, saying to herself, "Have faith...in myself"? Stereo looked at the DJ set nervously, taking a huge deep breath in, swimming up to it before getting a feel of the buttons and records. Then, she placed on a set of blue sea sponge headphones and said, "Let's rave it up," and pressed a button to start playing some music.

Stereo started to get a feel of the music, scratching the turntables on key with each beat, as Aggie and Synth both cheered for Stereo, dancing along to the music while pumping their arms and raving to the song. Synth pulled out some glowsticks, tossing them to Aggie and Stereo, who caught them as they continued to rave and move to the music. As Stereo kept on acting like a DJ, she eyed on one button in particular: the red beat drop button that glistened, ready to be pressed. Stereo felt a lump develop in her throat, remembering the earlier mess up during the rave that she caused, but then, she let that thought slide out of her head, saying,m "No, I can do this"! She raised her hand up high, saying, "Time to drop the beat," and readied as the music began to build up. Aggie and Synth saw that Stereo was setting up to drop the beat again, but then gulped in nervousness when they saw the water beginning to lower some more, as Aggie shouted, "Stereo, careful, the water's lowering again"! Stereo kept her hand up high, even as Synth shouted, "Yo, just press it already, and this isn't me asking in suspense of wanting to feel that beat drop"! Stereo waited...and waited...until the moment felt right and this time, when she slammed her hand down, she pressed the beat drop button, which made a huge sonic boom wave ripple through, splashing the water up. But as fate would have it, it was also coincidental timing because just as Stereo dropped the beat, the Whale Critter's tongue flicked and it started to make all three Trolls fall back and slide down the tongue. to prevent themselves from falling down the throat, Aggie, Synth, and stereo used their hands to grip onto the taste buds of the Whale Critter as tightly as they could, while Synth used his hair to hold onto the heavy DJ set. while hanging on for dear life, Aggie shouted, "What's going on," while Stereo shouted, "I think we're close to being swallowed"! Synth declared, "I'll check," and once more tried to speak Whale Critter, but this time, Stereo stopped him by shouting, "Synthesizer, I love you, but now is not the time! And I'm sorry to agree with our future sis-in-law on this, but you can't speak Whale Critter"! Synth sheepishly chuckled and said, "Yeah, I can't, but it's a lot of fun to try though, and hey, it got us somewhere, right"? Aggie shouted, "Yeah, close to death! What are we gonna do?! How do we get out of this"?! Synth shouted, "I could try to ask it to not swallow us," as Aggie groaned and said, "For the love of music, no more Whale Critter! You can't speak Whale Critter"! Synth then declared, "Oh man, yo, now, it's really the end for us! The final beat drop! But if we're going out, let's go out raving," and started to panic rave, whimpering for his life.

Stereo looked down at the large esophagus of the Whale Critter, which bellowed something while they were holding on before something very interesting caught her eye. Way down, near the bottom of the esophagus, water was building up and close to being projected up as if the Whale Critter was gonna unleash the water...like a beat drop! And that gave Stereo an idea. With an idea in motion, Stereo allowed herself to let go of the taste bud she was holding onto...and was about to free fall, but aggie and Synth both noticed, and Synth quickly let go of the taste bud with one hand while holding on with the other hand, but because the taste bud was so slippery, Synth struggled to hold on, shouting, "I'm losing my grip, yo! I can;t hold on," and was about to free fall, but Aggie quickly shouted, "I got you, both," and held onto his hand with her Classical hand while gripping onto the taste bud with her Rock Hand while flapping her wings furiously to keep her body position upright so she wouldn't lean forward and fall with them. All three Trolls were close to free-falling together, with both Technos holding on tightly, and Aggie trying her best to keep her future siblings-in-law from falling and preventing herself from falling too. Then, Stereo shouted, "Guys, we can let go! He says it's time to let go! Everything's gonna be alright"! Synth asked in surprise, "How can you know, Stereo? You speak Whale Critter"? Stereo shouted, "No, but I have a feeling"! Aggie then shouted, "That's not enough! How can you really know that we're gonna be alright?! How do you know something bad isn't gonna happen to us"?! Stereo looked back down at the esophagus and then said, "I don't! But I have hope! I believe that we're gonna be ok! Just trust me"! Synth and Aggie both looked at one another nervously, before looking back at Stereo, who nodded in affirmation. Then, Synth and Aggie both nodded back and...let go...free falling down into the esophagus with Stereo and the DJ set. Then, suddenly, a huge stream of water was projected up, pushing everyone, who screamed and hugged each other for dear life, up, up, up, and...out! WHOOSH! Popping right out of the blowhole of the Whale Critter, the trio rode on a huge stream of water that blasted them out and up into the sky. When they realized where they were, Synth quickly grabbed his DJ set and placed it in his hair before the trio screamed and fell back into the water, realizing they were now safe in the ocean...and alive! Aggie, Stereo, and Synth happily swam around when they realized that they were free, laughing and shouting in unison, "We're alive"!

The trio swam up to the surface of the water and saw that they had somehow traveled down the creek, luckily not too far from the lagoon, all the way near to where the ocean was. Aggie and Synth both hugged Stereo, with Aggie saying while gently punching Stereo's arm, "Stereo, you saved us," while Synth mentioned, "how did you know that Whale Critter was gonna blow us out f his blowhole, yo? that plan was *imitates airhorn noises*"! Stereo blushed and said, "Well, I noticed why it was swallowing all that water: it was gonna release it when it came up to the surface to breathe. So, I figured that the best way for us to get out was to wait for the "Beat" to drop and then ride that vibration out of the Whale Critter and outside to freedom"! Synth shared a romantic kiss with his lover while saying, "Smart move," while Aggie mentioned, "Yeah, Stereo, that was a crazy, but lucky plan! See, I told you you could do it. You raved us to freedom"! Stereo then said, "Only when I realized that I was letting my nerves getting to me, when I should've been letting you and Synth's support get to me and fuel me to try again. Your faith and trust in me was enough to get me to get back up and DJ all over again! And it was so much fun! Like totally *imitates airhorn noises*"! the trio chuckled together as Synth mentioned, "couldn't say it any better myself." Then, the trio all saw that the whale Critter had approached them and whined out an "I'm sorry," for accidentally swallowing them earlier. Luckily, Aggie said while patting it on its nose, "It's ok, big guy, accidents happen. Though now, you know that Trolls are not the same thing as krill, right"? The Whale Critter nodded as Synth then said, "Hey, let's head back to the lagoon, yo! i bet my brother's looking for us, and we still got a rave to party to"! Then, Stereo got a brand new, and surprisingly awesome, idea, saying, "Wait, Synth, before we do, could we...invite one more friend with us to the rave"? Aggie and Synth both looked at each other curiously, wondering who Stereo had in mind to invite to the rave. Back at the lagoon, later on, every Techno Troll was up and about, parting hard again to the music, and having a lot of fun. Over by the DJ set, a very special friend was working the turntables gently, but well-executed too: the Whale Critter, who was smiling and wearing huge sea-sponge headphones while it used its fins to press the buttons and scratch the turntables gently, playing the party music.

While everyone as dancing on the dance floor, Trollex swim up to Synth, Aggie, and Stereo, saying, "guys, this rave is off the chain," while Beat added, "Where did you guys find such a talented Whale Critter"?! Aggie answered, "Well, you'd have to ask tat to DJ Stereo," as Stereo smiled and answered, "Well, it's like this: when you see someone with talent, it''s best to have them have a chance to show it off, no matter if they make a mistake or not." Synth chuckled and said, "Rght on, yo! And now...let's par-tay," and together, they all started to swim and dance together, with Aggie and Trollex swimming together side-by-side while looking at each other fondly, as Beat rode on Trollex's head, while Stereo and Synth did an underwater tango to the melody of the song, everyone having loads of fun after a crazy whale of a tale's adventure, one that Synth, Aggie, and Stereo were going to remember for a very long time!
