Trollhunters: The Written Future

The Shattered King

The episode began, Toby's chunky face nearly filling the screen as he spoke. Mary, who hadn't bothered to look up from her locker slowly came into the picture. "Mary, can we be real for a moment? A woman like you deserves anything she wants. And what you want is me, as your date to the Spring Fling. It's okay, you don't even have to ask."

The trollhunting team instantly perked at the opening scene. This was the last day they lived before they were transported to some weird theater. If anything, Jim was nervous and anxious, he didn't know what the future had in store for him and he didn't know if he was ready to see it.

"Question?" Jim started, looking at the host who had brought them here.

"What's that?" She asked pausing the video.

"When we leave after finishing this, will we keep our memories?"

"Only if you want, but if you try to change it, no matter what it leads you to where you'll be in the future. So, it's your choice." Jim nodded, leaning back in his chair.

"I'd rather choke to death," Mary simply stated before sliding on her headphones and slamming her locker door shut. Without another word from her, only the sounds of rock music booming from her speakers, she stepped off.

"Well, that's harsh, maybe he really wanted you to go with him."

"Huh. Your loss!" Toby said before he laid his vibrant green eyes onto another female. "Hmm! Darci." As her name was called, Darci looked over before she stepped off as well, not even listening to him.

"I was wrong."

"Don't tell me he asked out every single girl." Jim just smiled and nodded his head, "Come on Toby!"

Jim, who was digging in his locker, turned to look as Toby tried to catch up with her, failing to catch her attention. Mary had found herself beside Claire, not really paying attention as Claire moved a strand of hair from her face, smiling nervously at Jim. It made the boy nervous as his eyes grew in size before he closed his locker with a stiff wave. The locker popped open again causing him to nervously slam it shut, an awkward smile now forming on his face.

"Oh my! Did that just happen!? I think I'm melting from all the pure love just radiating from the two."

Claire coughed into her hand, trying not to laugh. Mary had caught the not so subtle action as Claire waved so she turned to look at Jim. However, Toby quickly came into view, slamming his head on the locker, right in front of Jim.

Toby let out a heavy and tired sigh, "Well, I've asked out every single girl."

"They all said no?" Jim asked before he eyed Claire and Mary who began to walk away, no longer paying attention to them.

"Of course not. I got a few "as ifs." A couple "not in a million years." One actually gagged. I took that as a not interested," Toby turned as his head still rested on the lockers a smile on his face as he looked at his friend who was confused, shocked, and possibly displeased with the situation.

"All that rejection and he is still smiling. Buddy, you're strong and have some courage that we didn't see but I don't get it."

"You actually asked out every girl in school?"

"Nope! Saved Claire for you, buddy. I didn't wanna promblock you."

"Thanks," Jim lightly scoffed and rolled his eyes. Toby grinned, using his hand to push Jim to his level and hold him by the shoulders.
