Her head bopped to the beat of the music. Her hair waved in the wind. Her hands, skilled and sleek, mastered of years of managing a DJ booth moved with grace and skill.

"Uh… Trollex?"

The way she moved was like no other. She had more energy, more groove, more everything that put her above the rest.

"King Trollex?"

But her moves were nothing compared to her music. Her music sounded so wonderful, so powerful. Like her very soul was put into it.

"King Trollex?"

Her smile was sweet, her hair was dazzling, her skin was a perfect hot pink, her headphones looked wonderful against her—

"HEY FISH BOY!"

King Trollex jumped into the ceiling. Rubbing his head, he shot a glare at Barb. "Was that really necessary?"

"I don't know." Barb shrugged, though her smile betrayed her innocence. "Did it get your attention?"

"Yes."

"Worth it." Barb chuckled, heading back to her seat.

"Queen Barb, please. That was a little harsh." Queen Essence scolded the Rock Troll. She looked at Trollex in concern. "Are you alright?"

"N-no big. Just a small bump on the head." Trollex waved the concern away, grinning lightly. "She just caught me off guard."

"Off guard? Boy, you've been starin' out that window fer over sixteen minutes." Delta pointed out. "Ya sure yer alright?"

Trollex blinked, suddenly realizing that every troll in the room was staring at him. "Oh, uh, y-yeah. Yeah! No big! Just… just watching the party outside." He pointed his thumb at the party going on down below, hoping no one would press further.

King Quincy came over, peering out the window. "Ah. I guess that would explain how you haven't heard us talking to you."

"Heard us? We could have tied his hair in knots and he wouldn't even know it." Barb scoffed.

"You did tie his hair in knots." Trollzart pointed out. Trollex's eyes widened, reaching for his hair and, yep, he could feel knots in it. Barb burst out laughing as Trollex tried straightening his hair out.

"D-Dude! You didn't even notice someone messing with your hair?!" Barb slammed a first down on the table as she laughed. "Were you really that out of it not to notice?!"

"Darling I told ya not ta go through with it." Delta huffed as Trollex managed to get the last knot out of his hair.

Barb giggled, wiping a tear away. "Whatever. It's his fault for not noticing earlier."

Trollex glared at the Rock Troll, wanting to call her out. The timely arrival of Queen Poppy stopped him however, ending everything as each leader turned their focus on the pink troll. However, Trollex only paid half attention to the meeting as his eyes wandered over to the window.

Trollex was not troll who spied on others.

He just… happened to watch from a distance! A very far distance, with other trolls around, just watching them go about their day, and certainly not looking for a hot pink troll with bright orange hair—okay he had a problem. He had a real problem.

But it wasn't really his fault. Really! He was just enjoying the little Pop Troll village when he caught sight of her and… well, followed her? At a far distance?

Wow, he was becoming a stalker.

Trollex sighed, slumping against the tree branch he laid upon. From up here, he could see every troll in the village moving about. And had a clear view of the hot pink troll riding a top a large bug, blasting music at full max.

He smiled as she waved to passing trolls, and even letting a few younger trolls try out her bug booth. He would ask Poppy what that type of bug was exactly, but for now? Now he just wanted to watch her.

And wondered how he could get to know her better.
