Hey, guys! So, as you probably know, Trollstopia comes out this Thursday on Peacock TV and Hulu, and I'm sure many of you are excited to watch it. In honor of this occasion, I'm publishing a new story based on the show. I will be putting my own spin on the episodes once they come out and putting in original chapters of my own. I'm even introducing a new Troll O.C. character: Melody, who's a rock/pop troll. I will go into more detail about her as the story continues. Anyways, putting the disclaimer out there: I do not own Trolls or Trollstopia in any way or form as belong to Dreamworks, respectively. I also do not own the song and the lyrics that I use today. Melody Song, the name of my O.C. character, as well as her mother, Mal Shredder, belongs to me. Now, let's get this party started!

Deep in a forest unknown to man, there lived tiny creatures no smaller than an ant. They are referred to as trolls, and they're known for being happy, loving to sing and dance, and spend time together. However, there are not just one species of trolls, but many, and each species has their own tribe that lives in different areas depending on their signature type of music. Plus, depending on their environment, the trolls have different looks and styles that reflect on their species/personalities. For example, the Techno Trolls, who have multiple neon colors, thin strands on top of their heads, a visible, digital beating heart on their chests, and instead of legs, have fins and a long tail. They can breathe underwater, which suits their homeland lifestyle, but they can also walk on their tail fins and breathe oxygen when on the surface. Leading this vibrant tribe is King Trollex and his right-hand partner: Beat. King Trollex was dark neon blue, had green strands, had rainbow-colored sleeves, and wore purple headphones when acting as a DJ. While King Trollex was known for his music, he is also well-known for not only being a great leader and keeping everyone happy but for his efforts in helping a dear friend of his find her True Colors, which we'll get to later.

Turning our attention back to the land, let's now head south, where we find our next group in the desert—a small isolated town known as Lonesome Flats. Here is where the country trolls live, and like most of the land trolls, they have vibrant colored skin, but in a more faded fashion due to the dust. They always wear some form of loose-fitted clothing, as well as farmer's caps, straw hats, and the signature cowboy hat. Plus, what makes them different is that while their top half seems normal, their lower half resembles more like a horse, having four legs and hooves to match, as well as a horsetail behind them. The leader here was Ms. Delta Dawn, well-known for not only her big auburn hairdo and her niece Clampers, but for her loyalty to her country roots, as well as her singing voice. She acted as sheriff of Lonesome Flats, making sure no trouble-makers disturb the peace and serenity of their environment. While Delta Dawn may act all rough and tumble, she can be a real sweetheart, as long as you don't get on her bad side.

Our next stop is a little hot on the outside but is even more heated on the inside. Volcano Valley is the perfect home for the rock trolls, who love to rock out more than anything...almost. They love to put on rock concerts, do mosh pits, and be wild and loose, living without rules. A normal rock troll consists of gray skin, opposite of a troll's normally colorful skin, but have wicked cool rock-themed mohawks, mullets, whatever you can think of. The rock trolls also love causal but also spiky themed clothing, anything that gives them an edgy, off-the-hook vibe. Plus, they love bangles, piercings, whatever makes them stand out and emphasize a true rockstar persona. The leader of this gang of loveable misfits is Queen Barb, who initially tried to steal all the strings so she could unite all trolls under rock music, but that's another story that I'll get into later. She is the true inspiration of a rock troll, her red mohawk, her rock-themed tank top, shorts, and even her golden earrings. However, Barb's signature trait was not her left ear, which was missing a tip, but rather her guitar, which she always carried and loved to do loud, ear-bleeding solos on. While Barb is more on the wild side and can be very unpredictable, deep down, she cares about her friends and family and is willing to do anything to make sure that they stay safe and have fun, especially her own tribe. Her wingman and drummer, Riff, helps keep her in line, but Barb is usually very loyal and honest, isn't afraid to speak her mind, and will be there when needed.

Now, let's focus our attention on a secluded area that, to one, may resemble heaven. May I introduce to you: Symphonyville. A home fit for the glittery, elegant, and highly-sophisticated Classical Trolls. While the town is on land, their practice spot is up in the clouds, which is fitting because, unlike the other trolls, they have small wings that enable them to fly. Referring back to their cousins, the glitter Trolls, their skin shines with the brightest of gold glitter, and their size can sometimes make many mistakes them for cute babies, albeit they are very adorable. The classical also have special hair/wigs that honor their true inspiration for their music: Ludwig Von Beethoven. You can usually find them practicing classical music, playing variant instruments, and sounding harmonious with their faithful whistle: Pennywhistle. The conductor/leader of the tribe is Troilzart, who is the grand maestro of his harmonious orchestra. While he is more of a pacifist and usually tries to avoid violence, if their tribe is in danger, as he quotes, "We will not go quietly," and will stand tall to help defend their village.

Now, since we are still in the air, allow me to show you a village inside a spaceship. Get groovy and chill with me because this spaceship is home to Vibe City, home of the groovy funk trolls. Here, it's all good, and everyone is very optimistic, and everyone gets along nicely. Their appearance actually has two forms. One is of the normal vibrant colored skin, the wacky, funky hairdos, walk on two feet, and have arms and hands, like a normal troll. However, the funk trolls have a long neck, and they dress in vibrant-colored clothing, capes, jackets, even sunglasses. The other appearance is about the same, except instead of two legs, they can also walk on four, but have no arms or hands. No matter what appearance they had or how they were born, the funk trolls love to go with the flow and take it easy, jamming to sweet, bass-influenced, funky tunes. The leaders of this cool tribe are King Quincy and Queen Essence, who are both quadruped funk trolls, and while Queen Essence is light blue and had dark blue hair, King Quincy had purple skin and swooped/wavy rainbow hair. They loved 3 things the most: funk music, protecting their tribe, and their two sons, Prince D, who is a hip-hop/funk troll, and surprisingly, Cooper, our loveable pop/funk troll, but that ties into the "Barb trying to take over all music" story, which we'll get to in a bit.

Finally, the last tribe in this crazy world is the pop trolls, which I'm sure by now, we are all familiar with, who house in the forest ina small village called Pop Village. They love singing, dancing, hugging, and everything involving happiness. There was rarely a sad moment here, and a whole lot of fun almost en=very day. They were epidemy of a troll's biological structure. The vibrant skin colors, the straight-up but usually styled hair, and the occasional glitter. Oh, what am I saying? These trolls LOVED glitter A LOT! The leader of this fun-filled tribe was none other than Queen Poppy, a pink-skinned, magenta hair, overall optimistic and energetic pop troll who had a stellar voice, great friends, sweet dance moves, and above all, looked out for not ow=nly her own tribe, but the other tribes as well. While there are other miscellaneous music troll tribes such as Kpop, Reggaeton, Smooth Jazz, etc., those six are the main tribes. They all live in peace and harmony, and together, can pull off a stellar music performance. However, it wasn't always like this, which leads to our first story.

You see, before, all the tribes actually used to live together until a fateful incident involving the pop trolls trying to take control of all the strings made everyone decide to split up for safety. This separation of music lasted for years until one day, queen Barb got the idea to unite all the troll under rock music and started going around, taking the leaders' strings. Poppy, who heard of this, wanted to unite the trolls to stop this and show Barb how they were all the same. However, during the journey, Poppy learned a harsh lesson on how not everyone has to be alike because true harmony means accepting everyone's differences and understanding their different music forms. Suddenly, she ended up getting captured and was dragged and caged in Volcano Valley. Barb's plan was almost complete once she got all the strings as her mission was to do a world tour and unite all the strings to perform the ultimate chord that can turn any tool that gets zapped into a rock zombie. Branch, who loved Poppy secretly, sacrificed himself and became a zombie so Poppy would not get hit at first. Then, after all the other leaders began to get hit, she tried to escape, but her effort proved to be futile as zombified Branch caught her. Barb struck her with the guitar, and at first, it looks like Poppy is trapped under the rock music control and is given the guitar to finish off the remaining survivors. However, Poppy proved her wrong because she was never under control, to begin with, thanks to using gumdrops as earplugs. With a mighty swing, she slammed the guitar, destroying it and the strings with it, and at that moment, all of the troll's colors disappeared. It seemed like all was lost until Cooper and Prince D helped show that the music came from inside them, based on their culture and experiences. Celebrating everyone's differences, they all performed a huge song together and regained their colors, including Barb, who finally became friends with Poppy. In the end, everyone was forgiven, and the leaders have become close acquaintances with one another. When things looked like it couldn't get any crazier, someone new entered the fray, which is where our second story ties in.

One day, Branch and Hickory, a yodeler disguised as a country troll with his brother, Dickory, found a lonely grey troll by herself in the woods. When they introduced the troll to the leaders, this mysterious troll grew excited and introduced herself as Aggie, a Magical Musical Troll. She told them that she really wanted to gain her True Colors and hoped that they could help her. Despite the confusion and possibility that it might not be possible, everyone decided to try and showed Aggie each respective form of music, including the miscellaneous tribes' music. However, nothing seemed to work, and Aggie was losing hope fast. IN sadness and frustration, one night, she ran away, but Trollex followed her, and during the journey to get back, they faced some heavy obstacles but bonded closer as friends, which later on became something...more. The troubles did not end there as a tornado came and sent them faraway, leaving the duo to hike a long trail the way back, facing dangerous obstacles along the way. Luckily, they were able to make it back, but not unscathed. After Aggie recovered from an almost potent snake bite, the leaders decided to name their new friend Aggie the Master of All Music and gave her a handmade, rainbow-themed, colorful cape, with each color representing a type of music. aggie loved it, and for a while, did her part of acting as the Master of All Music, traveling far and wide to perform with her new friends. Then, not too long after Aggie joined them and became the Master of All Music, three mysterious trolls came, and they somehow possessed a rare ability. Whenever they sang a song, other trolls would begin to argue with one another, showing signs of disharmony. Aggie seemed to knew them, identifying them as Siren Trolls, and told the leaders that the only way to defeat them was to beat them at their own game, forming the first-ever Troll Tribe Battle of The Bands. The leaders and Aggie united to form their own band, Harmony Notes, and even with a small disagreement, could band together and defeat the Siren Trolls. Plus, Aggie was finally to gain her true colors and gained a new form with it. Her head was now pink (pop), her hair had all the tribes' signature colors based on their music, her eyes became rainbow as well, her right arm turned light red, her left arm became yellow and had gold glitter, her left leg turned purple, her right leg became orange with a black hoof, she gained a blue tailfin with rainbow pixels at the end, a pink pixilated heart on her chest, and small glittery wings on her back. The Siren Trolls were finally defeated, and Aggie now had her true colors, and everyone, especially Trollex, loved her! Since then, she's stayed with them and has been having the time of her life.

However, recently, Poppy has been feeling like now that everyone has become such good friends, that they should all get to live together under one roof. For three days and nights, she paced in her pod, trying to develop a great idea to make this fantasy a reality. Finally, she got one, and this idea seemed genius. As quick as her tired body could, Poppy grabbed some paper and a pen and began writing letters to the leaders, sharing her idea with them. As she soon mailed them by Bug Express, she could only hope that they liked it and wanted to give it a try.


Back in Volcano Valley, a rock troll was sitting up against a window, strumming her electric guitar to a catchy tune that Riff was playing not too far from where she was. However, she was no ordinary rock troll, as she also had pop troll roots, thanks to her dad, who was a pop troll at the time. This pop/rock troll was named Melody, Melody Song (voiced by Sabrina Carpenter ). Unlike the other rock trolls, she had magenta-colored skin, a nod to her pop roots, and lavender hair filled with pink highlights that she kept up in a ponytail thanks to a visible golden scrunchy. She wore a red long sleeve shirt with a rainbow-colored music note on it, and over the shirt, a black leather jacket with sequinned spikes, a nod to her rock roots. Melody also wore denim jeans and rainbow tie-dye, glittered sneakers, also a nod to her pop roots. On top of her head was a pair of black sunglasses, which she thought her cool, making her display a cool persona towards the other rock trolls. Despite her rock troll nature, Melody had a kind side and cared about the other rock trolls. She also loved to be active and performed on stage whenever she could, singing whatever she felt and playing her guitar very loudly. Melody also had two possessions: a golden necklace she always wore that had her name embroidered and had music notes surrounding it, a gift from her father. The other is a bright red, rock-and-roll electric guitar, which she strummed and played extremely well. Melody was very kind towards the other rock trolls and was always active, doing extreme activities or energetic jamming sessions with her friends. She does have a secret that she keeps hidden and only a few know about. Her right leg is actually a prosthetic (fake) leg. You see, when Melody was little, around the age of 4, she accidentally cut her leg on a rock that was actually cooled-off magma. The cut soon got infected, and the infection spread to her leg, making Melody very sick. She had to get the leg amputated, or else the disease would spread upwards and kill her if left untreated. As a replacement, the doctor gave her a prosthetic that she attached from the thigh up, and it was sturdy, very sturdy. Not even a fall during an avalanche, a thousand rocks hitting it, or even putting it in magma could destroy it. Simply put, it's indestructible. The purple coloring was her mother's idea as it reminded her, and Melody, of her father, who had purple skin.

Melody's father, Ballad Bill, was a simple troll. He loved his family, he loved his only daughter, and he loved to make music. He had purple skin, lavender hair to match, and a vibrant blue vest with matching navy blue pants. When he first met Melody's mother: Mal Shredder ( voiced by Meryl Streep ), he was instantly drawn to her rock troll ways, as Mal was interested in learning about his pop music style. They soon happily married and gave birth to Melody, who you could tell was a mixture of both their cultures. However, when Melody was only two, an accident involving the lighting poles falling onto him and pyrotechnics exploded, giving him bad burns during a concert. Ballad bill fought for his life in a three-day agonizing battle, but he lost the battle and passed away in the end. Mal was heartbroken, but Melody was the worst, falling into a state of depression after he died. Then, the tribe separation occurred, and it made her feel even more lonely, especially because pop was also a part of her culture, and now, she wouldn't be able to connect with that side. Her unfortunate accident involving the loss of her right leg only worsened her depression, and it made her temporarily gray. Then, on her sixth birthday, her mother gifted Melody a special red rock-and-roll guitar that her father was hoping to give to her himself. When Mal explained that her father wanted Melody to continue his music love, one strum was all it took for Melody to be happy and back to her colorful, music-loving self.

As for why a rock troll would marry a pop troll, to begin with, we need to go back to when previous pop tribe leader Peppy was just a kid. When he was little, Peppy loved to dance. In fact, in his playgroup, everyone knew him for his dance moves. One day, his talents caught the eyes of Mal Shredder when she was a kid. to this day, she had magenta-colored skin as well, light blue hair that was in the pop troll's signature style, but curled up at the top, and wore a spiky headband with matching shades. She also wore a black tank top that said Rock Life in big, bold letters and a spiky leather jacket on top of it. Along with a black skirt and spiky boots to how it, she was the definition, appearance-wise, of a rock troll, and her tough rule-defying attitude also contributed to her persona. Despite her toughness, deep down, she was charming and well-known for her singing voice. When Peppy first introduced himself to her, he was a little skeptical because of her appearance and toughness. Still, as he got to know her, he started developing a meaningful friendship with Mal, and with the female rocker, she started to bond with him too. The duo would put on great performances together as their voices almost seemed to mesh. Over time, as they became adolescents, they grew apart, but their friendship was still as tight as ever. Her special friendship with Peppy allowed her to gain a newfound respect and love for the energetic, happy music pop would provide. That feeling led her to me Ballad Bill one day, and the rest is history, which brings us back to the present.

Melody was still strumming her guitar when her mother came towards her while pulling a rolling suitcase. While Mal Shredder has aged over the years, her beauty and talents did not fade with age as she was still a heavy rocker on stage. Aside from that, Mal interrupted her daughter's gaming session by saying, "Alright, Mel. Your cousin, Val, should be here in a couple of minutes. Make sure you behave with her while I'm gone." Melody sighed as she began to frown slightly and retort, "Mom, do I have to? You know I don't get along with her that well. She's always trying to get me to fully embrace the rock troll life and forget about pop music." Her mother placed a comforting hand on Melody's shoulder while saying, "I know, but Val is your cousin, and despite your differences, she's family, and family cares for one another, no matter what. Your father wouldn't want you to be hostile towards Val, would he"? Melody sighed and glumly replied, "No." Mal smiled and replied, "Good. Besides, I'll not be gone for two weeks. The time's going to fly so fast. You'll wish that Val could stay longer." Suddenly, loud guitar playing could be heard as a puff of smoke appeared behind the to as a booming voice shouted, "Did someone say, Val"? Out of the smoke, a periwinkle-colored troll with a blue nose and purple hair in lavender highlights styled in pigtails, held by a magenta skull clip, while wearing a magenta skull-themed short tank top and a purple skirt to match, as well as a purple leg covering on her left leg, appeared from the smoke, shredding her guitar. Her blue-gloved fingers moved along the string effortlessly, while her spiked bangles shimmered in the glow from the lava, as a smile appeared from her purple lips. She then skidded on her knees and held her hand high while shouting, "Val Thundershock is here"!

Melody rolled her highs and muttered, "This is going to be a long two weeks," as Val came up to her, saying, "Hey, Melly baby. Still playing your guitar as soft as a feather? That's fine and all, but if you really want to excel, you need to thrash the strings like no tomorrow," before performing another loud chord. Melody covered her ears and then uncovered them when Val was finished as she said with a hint of sarcasm, but mainly in almost annoyance, "Great to see you too, cousin," before shooting a pleading look at her mom. Mal responded by saying, "Hope you two have a good time. If you need anything, send a bat telegram. I'll see you in two weeks, Melody," as her mother began to leave for her vacation to Shimmer Falls. When Mal was completely out of sight, Val turned to Melody while saying, "Now, baby cousin, what should we do first? Thrashing? Smashing thing? Thrashing our guitars while smashing things"? Melody shook her head before answering, "Actually, I was going to go rock boarding with some friends. I'll catch with you later." However, before she could go, Val grabbed her by the hand while saying, "Come on. You can see your friends at any time. I rarely get to see you. Let's do something fun together, cuz"! As Val began to drag Melody with her forcefully, the pop/rock troll sighed and said to herself, 'What did I do to deserve this"?

Soon Val stopped at the center stage where Barb and her band would put on massive concerts. Val grabbed her sweet black guitar while saying, "Let's jam together! We haven't done that in a while"! Melody rolled her eyes and asked, "Gee, I wonder why," before picking up her own guitar as well. Val then whistled at someone, shouting, "Yo, Riff, my man! Do you mind playing back up"? Riff, Barb's drummer, came by, saying, "You got it, ambassador," as he sat and prepared to play the drums. Melody sighed before saying to herself with a small smile, "Well, at least there's one good thing with cousin Val visiting. it means I'll get to see Barb again." She then asked in a sarcastic tone of voice, "Remind me again, Val. How were you appointed to be Barb's ambassador"? Val let out a prideful chuckle while saying, "Because I an what a true rock troll looks like, unlike some, excluding you, of course, cousin because you're something special. Why do you think I've appointed you, my assistant"? Melody tuned up her guitar while retorting, "Funny because I thought you were supposed to be watching me, not having me be the ambassador's assistant." Val then rolled her eyes while saying, "Can we stop with these questions? Let's rock,' as Melody groaned in frustration before the duo started to play their guitars and sing a tune they, well, Val Thundershock, mostly, knew very well. Riff began to drum to the tune the cousins played as they began to perform, with a couple of rock trolls watching from a distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Val: Shot through the heart, and you're to blame! Darling, you give love a bad name!

An angel's smile is what you sell. You promise me heaven, then put me through hell. Chains of love got a hold on me. When passion's a prison, you can't break free.

(Both: Whoa), you're a loaded gun! (Both: Whoa), there's nowhere to run, no one to save me. The damage is done!

Both: Shot through the heart, and you're to blame. You give love a bad name (Melody: Bad name)! I play my part, and you play your game. You give love a bad name (Melody: Bad name)! Yeah, you give love a bad name!

Melody was not enjoying herself, especially when Val shouted, "Yo, cousin! You take the next verse! Show off your true musical side"! Melody sighed in frustration but thought that if this were the only way she would get Val to stop bugging her, then give her what she wants. Melody then amped up her guitar playing and began to sing the next line.

Melody: Paint your smile on your lips. Blood red nails on your fingertips. A school troll's dream, you act so shy. Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye.

(Both: Whoa), you're a loaded gun! (Both: Whoa), there's nowhere to run, no one to save me. The damage is done!

Both: Shot through the heart, and you're to blame. You give love a bad name (Val: Bad name)! I play my part, and you play your game. You give love a bad name (Val: Bad name)! Yeah, you give love a!

While Melody focused on her guitar playing, Val Thundershock was killing it with the guitar solo, nailing every strum like if this was her last concert. Meanwhile, Melody felt uncomfortable and wished she was back at the window strumming a happy tune instead of trying to impress Val with her rock troll nature. Yeah, Melody liked rock music, but she also likes pop music, and that shouldn't make her unable to be seen as equal by anyone, especially her own older cousin.

Val: Oh, shot through the heart, and you're to blame. You give love a bad name! I play my part, and you play your game. You give love a bad name!

Both: Shot through the heart, and you're to blame. You give love a bad name (Melody: Bad name)! I play my part, and you play your game. You give love a bad name (Val: Bad name)! You give love a bad name (Melody: Bad name)! You give love a bad name (Val: Bad name)! You give love...a bad name!

A bunch of the rock trolls that were watching applauded and cheered for the performance as Val swung a rich arm around Melody while saying, "See, kid? This is what happens when you express who you really are and not what you want people to see." Melody, having enough, pushed herself from the grip of her cousin and said, "That may be how you think, Val, but I'm not like you! I'm not any of the other rock trolls here! I like rock music, but I also like pop music, and before you ask, it has nothing to do with my dad! It's based on a personal choice I made! Why can you see that or be happy for me at least"? Val crossed her arms and playfully rolled her eyes while saying, "I am happy for you, Melly, but I just don't get why you like pop music as much as rock music. Honestly, it's too sunshine and nice for me to handle." Melody crossed her arms and retorted, "Well, maybe if you actually listened to a pop song, you'll understand that it's not always about sunshine and rainbows and nice things all the time. It can have a deep message or a meaning that you never realize until you stop to listen to the song to understand it fully. Plus, you should also at least visit Popvillage. My mom's taken me there a lot before, and I can tell you it's a beautiful place, and I understood why I like pop music so much because of that trip. honestly, listening to at least one pop song can do some good for you, and I think you could really use some goodness, cousin Val"!" Val scoffed at Melody before saying, "Sorry cuz, but the day I listen to a pop song or even visit Pop Village, that will be the day, but unfortunately for you, it's never going to happen." Suddenly, a voice interrupted them by saying, "I wouldn't be saying that for long, Val,' making both trolls turn to see who it was.

Coming towards them was Queen Barb and Aggie, who had delivered the message to Barb in person. Melody went up to Barb, saying, "Barb! How's it hanging," as the pair high-fived, with Barb replying, "Been busy. Saw your performance, kiddo, and you were Rockin' on that stage"! Melody then noticed Barb's friend, first looking at the different physical traits she possessed, before smiling in admiration as she asked, "Who's your friend, Barb"? Aggie shook hands at a rapid pace, making Melody a bit dizzy, with her while saying, "Nice to meet you. I'm Agatha, but I prefer Aggie. It's shorter and saves time. It's great to meet a new friend. You were amazing on that stage! Great performance! I loved it with all my heart, no pun intended to the pixilated heart that's showing on my chest." After Melody recovered from the rapid and sudden handshake, she smiled, saying, "You're my kind of troll. Nice to meet you, Aggie. I'm Melody, a rock/pop troll, and behind me over there is my cousin and Barb's ambassador, Val Thundershock." Val then shoved Melody out of the way, onto the ground, as she says, "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Aggie. I'm Val Thundershock, hard rock troll for life! Though...I have to ask...what kind of troll are you? You seem to have the traits of almost every tribe in the universe. Don't you have one kind of music you like"? As Aggie started to explain her backstory to Val, Melody struggled to get up as Barb gave her a hand, saying, "Guess she's giving you a hard time, huh"? Melody nodded, saying, "Tell me about it. Sometimes, I wonder why we're even cousins in the first place. We have nothing in common, we don't get along that well, and she's always bossing me around like I'm supposed to be her assistant. Honestly, it makes my blood boil, no pun intended." Barb playfully ruffled her hair while responding, "I know the feeling, kiddo, but don't fret. I have a mission for my ambassador that might change her perspective on pop music." Once Aggie was finished explaining her story, Barb interrupted her by saying, "So, Val, my go-to, rock-solid ambassador, now that you've met the Master of All Music that is Miss Aggie, I have a mission for you. I need you to represent the rock trolls in a huge meeting coming up discussing a life-changing idea," as she gave Val what looked like a glittery invitation. Val looked at it while saying, "Ugh, use glitter much, Popsqueak," knowing instantly it came from the pop trolls. Once she opened it, she slowly began to read it before saying the eight words she dreaded to say/Melody wanted to hear for so long, "What?! I have to go to Pop Village"?!
