Prince Trollex, now a young adult, was reading the story to young Techno Trolls with Beat Drop by his side.

"20 years ago today, King Phyto and Queen Varuna made us safe. And now, our lives have never been more...*Imitates party horns*."

The kids repeated.

One said, "And that's why we rave every night."

Trollex responded, "Yep."

Another said, "I wish it was every day and night."

Trollex said, "So do I, but that wouldn't leave much time for things like whirlpool surfing and treaditation now, would it?"

As he set the book down, another kid asked, "Prince Trollex? Do the Sharkanians still want to eat us?"

He responded, "You bet."

The kids gasped.

Trollex then said, "But, just because it's the only way they'll ever be happy."

One kid licked himself, "Oh, no. I do taste delicious!"

Another asked, "Isn't there anything else to make them happy?"

"Ooh! What about having birthday raves?"

"Or sleepover raves?"

"Or staring at your parents while they sleep?"

The others weren't too in favor of that last one.

"But, I don't wanna be food."

Trollex reassured them, "Don't worry. No Troll ever will be. And that's why we're celebrating with the biggest rave ever! Everybody's gonna be there!"

Beat Drop asked, "And we're gonna be DJing, right?"

Trollex shouted out, "You know it!"

Trollex then took Beat Drop in his hands and started a beat.

The beat then turned into Techno music.

🎵Set me free

(Trollex started swimming through the reef.)

Set me free

(Different corals glowed different colors in time to the beat.)

Set me free

Get my fins up off the ground

(As Trollex moved to the beat, he handed out invitations for the rave tonight.)

Set me free

'Cause I really wanna hear that sound

Set me free

(Trollex continues going through the reef with Beat Drop.)

I'm glad I have you here right now

Set me free

(Trollex does a friendly gesture towards Beat Drop.)

'Cause you're the only one I want around

(He heads to his DJ booth and drops the first beat.)

Set me free

Set me free

(He is joined by his closest friends one at a time.)

Set me free

(Snappy, a red Techno Troll, on another DJ booth...)

Get my fins up off the ground

(Synth while whirlpool surfing...)

Set me free

(Bliss Marina while she was accessorizing her pet seahorse, Princess Pearl...)

'Cause I really wanna hear that sound

(Squirt, a smaller Techno Troll, who was exercising by swimming in rough currents...)

I'm glad I have you here right now

(Twin Trolls, Shimmer and Glimmer, while they were working on designer clothes...)

Set me free

(And Flash, a silver Techno Troll who was admiring himself in the mirror.)

'Cause you're the only one I want around

(Trollex and his friends sang together as the song slowed down.)

Break it down

Let it go, let it go

Break it down

Let it go, let it go now

Break it down

Let it go, let it go

Break it down

Let it go, let it go now

Break it down (Set me free)

(The beat starts to build up, as well as their surroundings.)

Let it go, let it go

Break it down

Let it go, let it go now

Break it down (Break it down)

Let it go, let it go

Break it down

Let it go, let it go now

Break it down (Set me free)

Let it go, let it go (Get my fins up off the ground)

Break it down

Let it go, let it go

Break it down (Set me free)

Let it go, let it go now ('Cause I feel I wanna hear that sound)

(The beat drops and everything goes wild as every Techno Troll joins in.)

Set me free

Set me free

Get my fins up off the ground

Set me free

Get my fins up off the ground

Set me free

'Cause I really wanna hear that sound

Set me free

I'm glad I have you here right now

Set me free

'Cause you're the only ones I want around

(Every Techno Troll made a grand finale.)

Set me free🎵
