Meanwhile back in the bunker everyone was wondering where Branch, Poppy, Barb, Hickory, and Trollex were. Prince D and Cooper were telling each other bad jokes while their parents were keeping everyone calm

"Will they come back?" A Pop Troll asked

"We can hope so." Queen Essence said

"What if something happened to them outside with the tsunami?" A Country Troll asked

"We were outside with them. Nothing happened." King Quincy said

"What if they don't come back ever?" A Classical Troll asked

"We don't know." Queen Essence said

All the Trolls started to chatter around

Queen Essence and King Quincy looked at each other worried

———————————

Meanwhile Trollex and the others were continuing to swim around as they searched for the gloves. Hickory looked behind a rock but nothing.

"Maybe, there somewhere further in the ocean." Poppy said

"Maybe, but we don't know what's out there so we should be careful." Branch said

"UGH!! You always say that!!" Barb said annoyed

"Hey, I just want us to be safe, and you know what's not safe? Swimming into absolute danger!" Branch said

"It's fun though." Barb mumbled crossing her arms

"Ok! Let's not start another thing." Poppy said and brought out her ukulele

"How'd you-"

She immediately shushed Branch and Barb

Song: Why Can't We All Get Along

Inspired By: Be Wherever You Are (Steven Universe)

"Isn't this such an amazing night? Whoa, we're underneath the beautiful sea!" Poppy sang

"Isn't it nice to be around your friends? Whoa, why can't we all get along?" Poppy sang

"Look at this place! Look at your faces! You should both just get along." Trollex sang

"Isn't it nice to be around your friends? Whoa, why can't we all get along?" Hickory sang

Branch and Barb looked at each other

"Look at this place! Look at your faces! You should both just get along." Poppy sang

"Isn't it nice to be around your friends? Whoa, why can't we all get along?" The three sang

"Why don't you guys just stop arguing. Whoa, why can't we all get along." The three sang

"Now high-five!" Poppy said

Branch and Barb sighed and gave each other a high-five

"Now hug and say we're best friends." She said

"WHAT?!!" Branch asked

"NO-"

"DO IT!!!" Poppy shouted interrupting Barb

The two looked at each other and awkwardly hugged

"Now say "we're best friends." Poppy smiled

"We're best friends..." They both said awkwardly

"Good. Ok you can let go now!" Poppy smiled

They immediately let go and dusted off

"Ok! Where to next?" Hickory asked

"That way!" Trollex said pointing to the right

They all swam that way and Branch kept looking back just in case and continued to follow cautiously. Hickory noticed and slowed down to Branch's speed

"You alright?" He asked

"Yeah, I think so. I just can't help but think someone's following us." Branch said turning back around and could've sworn he saw a head or two

"Well lets try to relax right now. I feel the same thing to." Hickory said

"You do?" Branch asked

Hickory nodded

"Ok, so according to my common sense the gloves should be with someone!" Trollex said

"Wow! You just figured that out genius?" Barb asked with sarcasm

"I'd like to see you lead!" Trollex said

"Well, I don't know the ocean, Fish Brain." Barb said crossing her arms

Trollex looked away and continued swimming

Poppy followed with the others
