Underwater

Chapter 14

Poppy was sitting on a boulder thinking of her argument with her friends. She heard something behind her and saw some fish. It looked like the same one who gave her directions

"Hi Mr. Fish!" Poppy smiled

"Hey. Where are your friends?" He asked

"They left. We had a fight they're gone. They're going back home." Poppy answered

"Ah. I'm sorry about that." He said

"I was so desperate to help Trollex that I stopped listening to what my friends wanted to actually tell me. And it was all for those stupid gloves!" Poppy said, angry at herself

"Poppy, you should get out of here." The fish said

"What? Why?" She asked

"Patrick's on his way here. You should leave while you still have a chance." He said

"Patrick? That's who has the gloves?!" Poppy asked surprised

The fish slowly nodded

Poppy stepped back till she heard something and was grabbed by Keegan from behind

"Hey! I thought something was going on!" Patrick said as he smiled

"Patrick!" Poppy stared at him

Patrick swam down to the three

"Good work for distracting her Fishy. You'll keep your taste in music." Patrick said as he smiled

"Mr. Fishy?! You told them I was here?!" Poppy asked

"I have a family! I had to!" He said and quickly swam away

"Hey Poppy!" Patrick smiled

"Don't "hey Poppy" me! Why are you doing this?!" Poppy asked irritated

"Why? I'm helping everybody." Patrick answered

"No you aren't!! You're taking away the ONE THING that makes everyone happy!!" Poppy said

Keegan looked at Patrick

Patrick laughed

"The one thing? Listen Princess, every single Troll sings and it damages their vocal cords. I'm helping." He said booping her nose

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!" She shouted kicking her feet at him

He stepped back and smiled

"Wow! You sure are something aren't you! Maybe I'll do you first." He smiled

Patrick put a finger on his lip

"Nah, I'll stick with my first idea." Patrick said

"What's your first idea?" Poppy asked

Patrick looked at her and smiled but didn't answer

"Let's go Keegan!" Patrick said swimming off

They followed him with Poppy

——————————————

Back in Trollstopia most of the Trolls were captured except DJ, Biggie, Smidge, Legsly, Guy, Tiny, Satin, and Chenille

"What are we gonna do?!" Biggie asked worried

"Biggie! Don't worry! We'll help them! But first we need a plan." DJ said

Legsly agreed

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I have an idea!" Smidge said raising her hand

"Guy, what's your idea?" Legsly asked ignoring Smidge

"I was thinking we sneak in and try not to get spotted and save everyone." Guy said

"Man, easier said than done daddy." Tiny told him

"I like the sneaking in part." DJ smiled

"Maybe we should wear disguises!" Satin said

"Yeah! It'll be easier to get in!" Chenille said

"Yeah!" Legsly smiled

"I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!!!" Smidge shouted

"What?" Everyone asked looking at her

"Why don't we just sneak through their vents." Smidge said

"Yeah, this is smarter." Biggie said

"Fine! We'll do the vents!" They all said

—————————————

Patrick arrived back on land with Keegan and Poppy and arrived to where all the other Trolls were

Poppy saw them all and saw her dad

"What are they doing here?" She asked

"Oh? We didn't tell you? Oops." Patrick smiled

Poppy glared at him

———————————————

The snack pack arrived and went to the vents to see and had a clear view of the stage

"I think this is a great spot. We can see right here." DJ said

"Yeah! Now what?" Smidge asked

"Now we just wait? I think?" Legsly said uncertain

"Well did anyone bring snacks?" Smidge asked

"Nah, I've got nothing." They all said

"Dang it." Smidge crosses her arms
