Hey guys, long time no see. College really drained all my energy. I needed a long break because of hard I studied and prepared. At least I pass my classes. But just know I'll always come back. No matter what! Oh, and another reason for the delay, After my story Hair Up, I'm gonna start posting for Ducktales. So I've been spending some time on that plot and characters. Also, the Trolls 2 movie trailer is out! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! SO HAPPY!

ON WITH THE SHOW!

"MOTHER OF ALL THAT'S TROLLY!" Poppy screamed as she was launched into the air and dropped into a lake. She swam back up for a breath of fresh air. She looked ahead of her and not too far away was a portal like hole in the middle of the lake with water swirling around it like a whirlpool. Most likely where she just came out of,"Geez, that Mad Hatters hat is one wild ride."

"LOOK OUT BELOW!" the princess heard Satins voice coming from above. Poppy didn't need to think twice. She ducked down into the water to avoid being crushed by the girl. Satin landed in the same spot Poppy was. She pulled herself up on the surface and looked around completely confused, "Where are we? What happened?!"

"You ok?!" Poppy splashed back up and asked. Before anyone can say anything, they all heard a manly voice screaming above them. They both looked up only to be collided with a falling Smidge. The girl landed on them both and dragged them under the water.

"Smidge!" Poppy was the first to get back up again. Satin and Smidge showed up momentarily after her.

"Sorry, I can't control where I'm about to land," Smidge shrugged her shoulders. Not to long after her, the girls heard a loud splat right next to them. They turned to see that Fuzzbert had made a complete belly flop on the water. The girls cringed in pain as they watched their friend slowly sink into the water.

"Fuzzbert?" The girls said his name in worry. The ball of fluff got back out and assured them he was alive. The girls giggled at their friend. They soon settled down and looked at their surroundings.

"Does anyone see any land?" Poppy asked.

"No….. Nothing but the ocean for miles away," Satin said with worry rising in her voice.

"Oh no, we're gonna die! Die out here like wild salty wet animals!" Smidge cried out in fear.

"No no, no one is dying. We just have to find a way to make it to land," Poppy assured her.

"Um, I hate to interrupt but…." Satins face turned pale when she spotted something behind Poppy.

Poppy caught her gaze and slowly looked over her shoulder. Not too far away from them, a whirlpool had appeared and getting bigger by the second.

"Oh you gotta be kidding me," Poppy sighed in defeat. In just seconds, the group was swallowed up by the whirlpool and got dragged down under l. Everyone held their breath and shut their eyes with nothing left to do but pray. Poppy could feel herself get tossed around and around by the water. The movement nearly made her sick to the stomach. It wasn't until she could feel gravity take place and pull her down on something could and hard when she was able to breath. She sat up while taking deep breaths in.

"Whoa, that was close," she said between her breaths. She could feel something solid underneath her hands. She looked down to see that in her hands she has some gold coins, "Where are we?" Poppy studied their environment. They appeared to be inside a ship full of gems, gold and pearls.

"I don't know, but I can assure you we're not above the surface," Satin pointed up where they can see a glass window that showed all the water and fish.

"We're under water, but how?" Poppy gasped. She tried to walk around but all the gold and gems caught up to her waist making it difficult to move.

"Who are you?!" They heard a female like voice call to them. They looked around, trying to see where it came from, "What do you want?!"

"Um…. I'm Princess Poppy and these are my friends. We're here….."

"Princess Poppy? Never heard of you," the mysterious voice echoed.

"I know, I come from another world. Please help us. My friends, they're Forbidden Tales and we ..." Poppys mouth was covered by multiple hands, trying to keep her from saying anymore.

"You want us to get taken away?" Satin loudly whispered.

"Forbidden Tales? Oh why didn't you say so!?" The trolls were soon surprised when another troll appeared at the pool of water nearby. Her baby pink hair was tied into loops with a seashell in her hair and her skin was a dark violet. She wore a bright smile on her face as she excitedly jumped in the water, "Hi! I'm Andrina, I'm 16 years old, my sisters say I'm witty. My pet peeve is when mertrolls can't take a joke. My biggest fear is having a boring life. My favorite food is….."

"Whoa whoa whoa, Uh, Andrina was it?" Poppy slowed down the girl. The girl happily nodded yes with her big smile still on. Poppy placed a finger below her lip and thought out loud, "Andrina, Andrina…. Hmmm…. Oh! Your Ariels sister!"

The mention at this seemed to lower the girls smile. She looked to her left for a moment before looking back at her.

"Yeah, that's me….. Ariel's sister…" the girl sounded slightly disappointed but that was quickly replaced by her optimistic voice, "You have to come with me! Father will surely want to meet you guys!"

"Your father? Would he mind of us there?" Poppy asked nervously.

"Oh not at all! Believe me, we're not like the other fairytale people. My father is willing to help anyone! Just follow me!" The little mertroll told them. All 4 friends looked at one another with uncertainty. They shrugged their shoulders and began to walk their way to her. Poppy kept tripping over all the gold coins and gems, making it very difficult to get to the mertroll.

"Uge, why is it so hard to walk in this stuff," she complained.

"It's because you're not the richest duck in the world," Andrina laughed at this.

"That doesn't make sense," Poppy cocked her head to the side.

"Hold your breath!" Once she was close enough, Andrina grabbed her arm and pulled Poppy into the water.

"Poppy!" Her friends struggled to get to her.

"Come on! Deep breaths!" Andrina popped back up and dragged the rest under water. Under the water, the mertroll had the four friends hold onto each others hand and pulled onto Poppy. The mertroll dived straight down, holding tight on Poppys hand. She pulled the land trolls into a dim dark cave before pulling them up for some air.

"We're almost there," Andrina assured them, "Just hold your breath a little longer."

With that, the land trolls took a deep in and let the girl drag them under water. The land trolls didn't know how long they had to hold their breath but hopefully they could breathe again soon. Poppy looked around the dim cave, trying to figure out where they were going. There was nothing but rocks and shells surrounding making it difficult for her to figure it out. It wasn't until they saw a golden light peering into the cave when she mentally slapped herself. Mertroll, Ariel's sister, fairytale book, she should've guessed! The mertrolls pulled them out of the cave to reveal a golden castle up ahead. A castle that sparkle brighter than all the stars above. A castle so dazzling that it took Poppys breath away, if she had any breath left in her.

Andrina pulled them into the kingdom as fast as she could. Mertrolls from all over turned their gaze over to the land trolls. Looking at them as if they have never seen such creatures before. Poppy couldn't help but wonder why they looked at them like this. Weren't they use to seeing land trolls since Ariels wedding?

"Believe me, they aren't looking at you because your land trolls," Andrina nearly surprised Poppy with this. It was like she could read their minds. Lucky for the land trolls, Andrina pulled them into a gold colored building, where she pulled them into a room full of air.

"Oh finally!" Smidge cried out as she took a deep breath. Poppy shared her relive. She took a deep breath of fresh air before looking around. They were inside a building that appeared to be for animals that breathe air like turtles, or whales. The whole area was a pool with only rocks being the source of solid ground.

"This is our animal sanctuary. My sisters and father should be around here somewhere," Andrina told them as she looked around the place. Her eyes lit up when she saw a certain mertroll talking with her sisters, "Attina! Attina!"

"Andrina?" A mertroll with dark orange hair and light orange skin looked back at her little sister. She was clearly older than all her other sisters. Her hair was rolled up into a bun and held in place by an orange crown. Andrina went up to her and hugged her oldest sister.

"You won't believe what I found!" Andrina excitedly told her.

"Is it another seashell?" Attina asked as if this was a normal routine for her.

"No, I found some…"

"Forbidden Tales!" One of their sisters gasped in horror when she spotted Poppy and the others climbing onto a rock.

"What?!" Attina looked over to where her sister was pointing to see it was true. She looked over at Andrina with a deadly glare, "Why are their Forbidden Tales here?! You know father doesn't….."

"No no no, it's not like that," Andrina became protective of them.

"Like what?" A man's voice interrupted the girls. All the mertrolls gasped and formed a line in a second with Attina in the middle.

"Father," Attina started, "It would appear that Andrina has brought some guests to the kingdom."

The male troll looked over his daughters and spotted Poppy and her friends. The group of land trolls were having some trouble staying on the rock.

"What did I say about bringing strangers to the kingdom Adrina?" He scowled at his daugher.

"Father please, they need help," the mertroll swam up and center, "They're Forbidden Tales and you know we help….."

The mertroll went silent when her father put up his hand.

"Who is that?" Satin whispered to Poppy. The pink princess looked ahead and scanned the merman from head to fin. He had golden hair, gilden skin and bright teal eyes like the ocean with a seaweed colored fin. And to top off his look, he wore a huge gold and sparkling crown on his head along with a solid gold triton by his side.

"King Triton," Poppy whispered in disbelief, "He can definitely help us."

"You think so?" Satin asked. Poppy nodded yes excitedly before looking back at the king. It didn't take long for her to see his disapproving face towards his daughter. The land trolls looked at the father with worry, thinking that he wouldn't be able to help them. But he was the king of the sea, surely he had the power to help them.

"You will take these land trolls back to where you found them, do I make myself clear?" Triton told his daughter in a firm and hard tone. Andrina sadly nodded her head in defeat.

"Mr King Triton," Poppy called out, "I hate to be a bother, but my friends and I could really use your help. You see, I come from another world and my friends here are Forbidden Tales. We would appreciate it if you could tell me if there's a way out of this world and into the real world. Do you know how we could do that?"

"Of course I know how, I'm the king of the ocean," Triton said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "We use to help Forbidden Tales all the time."

"Use to?" Poppy tilted her head in confusion.

"Oh oh! Story time!" Andrina clapped her hands in excitement.

"Don't you dare tell them," Triton glared at his daughter. She didn't listen. She swam up to the land trolls and happily started talking.

"A long long time ago, or actually, more like a little while ago; about a year I think….."

"Here she goes," Triton rolled his eyes at this.

"Fine! I won't tell them," Andrina crossed her arms and turned her back at the land trolls.

"Good," Triton sighed in relief.

"But if I could tell you…." Adrina clearly wasn't gonna be quite. Triton did a facepalm with disapproval of his daughters actions, "... I would say that the mertrolls in our kingdom helped make a sanctuary for Forbidden Tales. And with help from their brave and strong leader King Triton, the mertrolls were able to give safe transportation to all Forbidden Tales that sneaked help. Until one day, the mertrolls were caught helping the Forbidden Tales by King Midas. He turned hundreds of mertrolls into gold statue. Most of them sunk to the bottom of the ocean, while others were taken away to be smashed into pieces or made into a decorative piece for his castle. Ever since that day, King Triton stopped helping Forbidden Tales."

"You helped Forbidden Tales reach sanctuary? Where? How?" Poppy had so many questions running in her mind.

"Oh father, can we show them, please please please. Can we show them?" Andrina tugged on her dad's arm. The father looked down at the girl with annoyance. His daughter gave him her best puppy eyes and perky voice. Eventually, her father gave in and rolled his eyes.

"Fine. We'll show them," Andrina cheered at her father's words. She eagerly watched as her father held onto his triton. He gave it a whirl on the water, letting streaks of gold twirl around. The strings of gold crawled their way out of the whirl pool and climbed onto the rock Poppy and her friends were on. The strings of gold wrapped themselves around the land trolls causing them to panic slightly.

"Whoa, what's going on?" Satin stood up on her feet in fright but she soon couldn't feel her feet. She lost all feeling in her legs causing her to fall back and splash into the water.

"Satin!" Poppy looked down into the salty water to see if she can see her. Soon, she too lost feeling in her legs causing her to slip off the rock. Before falling into the ocean, Poppy held her breath and shut her eye's tight. She moved her arms around in an attempt to swim up while trying to kick her legs. Only, she didn't feel a pair of legs kicking in the water. Instead, she felt like her legs just slipped into one huge slipper. She cracked open her right eye and looked down to where her legs should've been. She opened her mouth in shock and gasped. A beautiful dark pink fish tail had replaced her legs completely. And not only that, she was breathing while under the water.

"Wow! Just wow!" She heard Satins voice behind her. The happy girl swam right past Poppy and was enjoying her new look. She had a fish tail that matched her hair. Purple on the tip of the fins that orbed into baby blue. Satin was always a beautiful girl but this time she was stunning. Her hair was tied into a neat bun had strings of white pearls decorating her head. Her shirt was a nice shade of baby blue and looked very lovely flowing in the water. She did a couple loops in the water before swimming towards Poppy, "Oh my….. Poppy you look dazzling!"

"Really," Poppy looked at herself. Satin was right, Poppy wore a baby pink crop shirt with a fish scale pattern on it and her hair was pulled into a ponytail. She could feel a seashell crown hugging her head perfectly. Around her neck she could see a necklace made of seashells, "I guess I do."

"Will you look at this," Smidge was just as impressed as her friends. She had a sparkling pink shirt tightly wrapped around her with strings of pearls decorating the neck line. Her tail was a gorgeous ocean blue and her hair was braided with a seashell on the tip of her hair, replacing her usual bow. She did a couple flips in the water and zoomed here and there, "Haha! It's like flying!"

Poppy couldn't wipe the smile off her face. This was incredible, no! Marvelous! No no, Spectacular! She couldn't describe the joy in her heart.

"Fuzzbert?" Poppy noticed her furry friend. He didn't seem to change much. Except all you can see of him was a pair of fins popping out of the fuzzball. He moved around by propelling his fins like a propeller on a helicopter. It was a funny sight for Poppy that she couldn't help but giggle. She swam back up on the surface and faced the king, "I get it now. You turned the Forbidden Tales into mertrolls so they can travel underwater. But to where?"

"To a place where Forbidden Tales can live in peace and happiness. With no worries about being discriminated against or mistreated. A place where no Fairy Tale besides us can go to. The only way in is through water."

"Really?!" Smidge popped up, "A place where we can be safe and happy?!"

"Where we can be at peace with our friends and family?!" Satin squealed at the thought. Even Fuzzbert was bouncing up and down in excitement.

"Can you take us there!?" Poppy asked with hope in her voice.

"Absolutely not," the king shattered the girls hopes in a second.

"But….. You use to help them. Why not do it again?" Poppy asked.

"I'm sorry, I know there are many Forbidden Tales out there that need help finding sanctuary but I need to think about my kind. My kingdom, my subjects. I can't risk the lives of innocent mertrolls just so we can transport a couple of useless trolls."

The ex land trolls gasped when he said this.

"Useless!?" Satin gasped in disgust, "Excuse me sir! We are anything but useless. We spent a whole day trying to find a way for Poppy to go back home and escaping the clutches of King Midas! We barely escape a loony queen and got drained into a whirlpool, which completely ruined my hair by the way, and now when we have the chance to find help, you refuse!? You can't let King Midas control you like this! Living in fear of him! Living by his rules!"

"We are 100% ok with that," Triton told her before turning his back on them, "I won't put my subjects lives in danger again. Not now, not ever!"

Poppy felt her heart break at the sight. This king had the answer to their prayers and he wouldn't even consider helping them.

"Your majesty!" A mertroll swam up to him, "Your presents is needed at the throne room."

Without a single word, the king swam off and out of sight, leaving everyone in utter shock.

"So that's it then? He won't help us?" Smidge crossed her arms in anger.

"I guess not… we'll just have to find another way to get me and Branch out of this world, and for you guys to find that place. Sanctuary for Forbidden Tales? Why haven't you ever heard of that place?" Poppy asked.

"It was kept a secret to prevent Fairy Tales from finding it," Andrina answered her, "My sisters and I would always help out. I think Attina was 17 when we first started and Ariel was only 12."

"Really? Wow, you girls are really lucky to have a sister like Ariel." Poppy comment. The six sisters looked at one another with uncertainty in their faces. Poppy took notice of their rather disappointed faces and decided to ask, "What? What happened?"

"Nothing really," the mertroll with red fins and hair said in a plain tone, "Ariel was indeed the best out of all of us."

The mertroll sounded like she forced a happy sounding voice out of her.

"We'll find our father so he can change you guys back to land trolls," Attina told them before diving in with all her sisters. Poppy wasn't convinced that these girls were all right. She dived in after them and followed the girls.

"Wait! Was it something we said?" She asked. The sisters stopped in their tracks and looked towards the princess while avoiding any kind of eye contact. Seeing as though the pink princess really wanted to know, Attina sighed and took a deep breath in.

"Ariel is a nice girl and she deserves everything she got. It's just we... Don't really understand as to why she became so important that she got her own story and we just got tosses aside," Attina told her.

"No you didn't," Poppy insisted, "I loved you girls when I was a kid."

"Yea? What's our names?" The one on blue challenged her. Poppy wasted no time in naming these girls.

"You are Aquata," Poppy shocked the blue mertroll when she said her name. Poppy then pointed at the purple one, "The purple one is Alana, the one in green is Adella, the one in red is Arista, the one in orange is Attina, and you are Andrina."

Andrina felt great joy when she said all their names perfectly.

"I knew I liked you the moment I saw you!" Andrina clapped her hands in excitement.

"So one girl knows who we are, big deal," Aquata rolled her eyes as if it was no big deal.

"Be nice," Attina warned her sister," It's not everyday someone knows our names."

"I'm sorry, are you saying that no one knows your names?" Poppy made sure she heard that right.

"Don't act so surprised," Aquata began, "Ariel always got all the attention, the spot light, the best of everything, and yet life with her family wasn't enough. She gave everything away to be on land. Honestly, how did she get her own story and we got nothing."

"At least you girls don't have to live in fear all the time like the Forbidden Tales," Smidge told them.

"No, but still. I feel like one of us deserved the spotlight more than her," Aquata mumbled a bit at this sentence, "I mean look at us. Arista is prettier than Ariel, Adrina is smarter, Alana sweeter, Attina….. is older, and Adella… let's face it, Father is the only male attention she's ever gonna get."

"Hey! What do you have that Ariel doesn't?" Adella clearly took offence to this.

"Admission and the willingness to kill," Aquata snapped back at her. The green mertroll didn't take to kindly to her statement. Without a second thought, she tackled her sister into fight.

"Take that back!" Adella yelled at her sister who was fighting back.

"I'm really sorry about this," Attina pushed Poppy and the others to the side so they didn't have to be a part of this, "We just feel a little left out. Ariel got to have the spotlight all to herself while her sisters were cast into the dark. It's always been like this. Father gave his baby girl the spotlight to every concert we did. And yet she hardly ever shows up. I know Forbidden Tales have it worse but we can't help our emotions. We played such a small roll no one can ever remember us."

"I remember you," Poppy tried to cheer her up.

"Yea? How much do you wanna bet that the moment you met Andrina you referred to her as Ariels sister?"

Poppy opened her mouth to reject this but quickly shut it when she realized she was right.

"I thought so. You know, as Ariel wasn't always the princess you know her as. Arista was the one who taught her how to sing and play instruments. Ariel got her beauty thanks to Alana's beauty treatments, she got her fun side thanks to Andrina, Aquata and Adella taught her how to socialize and I… as the oldest, I taught her responsibility," Atina sighed in disappointment, "It's nothing new. We're used to being in our sisters shadow by now."

"We're so sorry," Poppy didn't know what else to say. She never thought these girls were so emotional when it came to this, "But you know, just because you play small parts, doesn't mean your not part of something bigger."

"I know, it's just hard sometimes because….. we rarely get any attention from anyone... not even from our father. He's so busy protecting his kingdom I bet he doesn't even remember his own daughters,"

Afterher sentence, Poppy could feel a hint of guilt in her. She didn't like seeing anyone so sad. These girls were a huge part of Ariel's life and were pushed aside like nothing. Poppy's eyes moved over to look at the mersisters. Her eyes focused more on Andrina, who was a couple feet away from her sisters bickering. The girl had sadness all over her face, and Poppy wasn't gonna stand it.

( song, bold for actions )

Poppy

"Hey, now, don't be sad,

I know we cannot stay,"

Andrian looked behind her to see Poppy happily singing to her.

"But we've got a couple minutes,

And a little time to play,"

While at first delighted, Andrian knew they couldn't stay any longer than they needed.

Andrina

"I know you have important things,

So it's okay, just go,"

Poppy wasn't giving up though, as she appeared upside down and right in front of the depressed princess.

Poppy

"But we can still pick one small, little thing,

To do with you, y'know!"

Poppy pulled the princess towards her friends who were holding up a reflective pearl. Poppy looked into the pearl with her and fixed up Andrinas hair.

"One small thing doesn't seem like a lot,"

Poppy picked up a shiny pink shell and placed it into Andrinas hair making her look standout even more.

One small thing, work with what you've got,"

Poppy swam away and pulled onto Aquatas and Adellas arms and pulled them next to Andrina.

"Soon, one small thing becomes two,"

She later pushed Allana, Arista, and Attina next to their sisters as well.

"After two, perhaps another few,"

She grabbed onto Andrinas hand encouraged the sisters to grab each other as well.

"Then one small thing is not so small,

One small thing can be the biggest thing of all,"

Poppy pulled all 6 princess across the ocean and into the middle of the kingdom. The mertrolls twirled around the place, having fun with one another.

Andrina

"All right now, since you're here,

Let's see what we can do,

Swim with the flow until you go,

Together, me and you,"

Alana

"I've got necklaces for every fish!"

The girl tossed a seashell necklace towards Poppy who caught it happily. She was happy to see the girls were having fun for once in their life.

Poppy

"So what else do ya got?"

Arista

"Well, we could play the bubblefish!

You'll like this one a lot!"

The red mertroll brought up what looked like a horn and blew into it with all her might releasing bubbles everywhere.

Seeing that some mertrolls were getting curious as to what was going on, Satin and Smidge encouraged them to join in. While many of them showed hesitation, little by little, the mertrolls were joining in on the fun. Even King Triton peeked out of the castle to see what was going on.

Poppy

"One small thing, it's a good place to start,

One small thing, and we don't seem so far apart,

Soon, one small thing leads to more,

It's so much more than there was before,

Just one small thing, and you will see,"

Poppy and Andrina

"The start of something big for you and me,"

Andrina

"One small thing!"

Mertrolls

"Just one small thing,"

Repeated the second youngest words.

Attina

"Or a tall thing,"

Mertroll

"Just one tall thing,"

The mertrolls sang along with the oldest princess.

Arista

"Or a sing thing,"

Arista sang and played her horn at the same time to everyone's joy.

Mertrolls

"Just one sing-y thing!"

Alana

"Or a bling thing!"

The purple mertroll belted out happily with a new outfit Satin put together for her. A sparkling, flowing, purple shirt accompanied by a see through, lavender sash.

Mertrolls

"Just one bling-y thing,"

Adella

"A conga thing!"

Yeah, a conga thing"

Adella started to form a conga line only for her sister Aquata to pass by her with a longer line.

Aquata

"Or a longah thing,

Just one longah thing,"

In the center of the kingdom, Poppy was swiming around in circles with Andrina.

Poppy

"A blue thing, true thing, you thing,"

Andrina

"A whee thing, sea thing, me thing,"

Poppy Andrina

"So many things and everything until our time is done,

There's one small thing for each and everyone!"

The King decided to swim up to where all the fun was at. Seeing him come their way, all the mertrolls bowed to him and moved aside, creating a path for him to his daughter.

Andrina

"One small thing, so much we can create,

You and me, we started something great,

It's so amazing, look around,

At all the happy sights and sounds,"

Andrina gave Poppy one last hug before turning to her father.

"One small thing is big, it's true

You did this all for us,"

She and her sisters swam up to their father with sweet kind smiles.

"I just wish there was one small thing,

An extra special kind of thing,

That we could do for you,"

Everyone

"One small thing!"

( end )

"So? What do you say dad?" Andrina asked with high hopes. The king looked down at Poppy and her friends who also had high hopes. He glanced over at his daughters with a stone cold face. The princesses both felt a little worried when their father showed this kind of expression. They're worries soon lighten up when their father showed a small smile.

"Maybe there is a small thing we can do?"

Well that's that! Excited for the movie! Aaaahhhhhhhh! And what I love about the new movie already are all the different types of trolls you can choose to be! Looks like Cooper isn't the only animal troll anymore! Those cute looking angle trolls! And those techno trolls! I love them most of all. I know I already choose to be a glitter troll but if I could change my type, I would so be a techno troll. They have such a great design and their technically mertrolls!
