The leaders went a few steps from the stage. They all had strict looks on their faces.

"What did you guys want to talk about?" Poppy asked.

"Isn't it obvious Queen Poppy," Trollzart asked. "Our tribes clearly can't get along. They can't trust another and fear that someone might use them for their own benefit. They think negatively of each other."

"Eventually they will all start feeling offended and start a feud," Delta said. "Let's face it, this show isn't bringing us together it will open our eyes to fear and doubt."

"No, I know what I'm doing!" Poppy yelled. "With all do respect this is my decision and I will do what I believe is right."

"Oh so letting fights happen is your idea of 'the right thing to do?," Trollex asked angrily.

Poppy becomes worried.
"Of course not... I just thi-"

"Look Poppy, we can appreciate your whole view on this ordeal, but we need justice and fairness to all of our people," Queen Essence said.

Poppy paused and looked down.
"I...no I... I don't know."

The troll leaders look at each other. King Quincy steps closely to her and lifs her face to pay attention to him.
"We get your highness. You need time to reflect."

Poppy was left to think while the leaders went back to the stage area. Barb stayed behind and went up to her.

"So what are you going to do, Queen Poppy," she asked.

"Honestly Barb, I don't know in the slightest," Poppy responded.

Back on stage...

"C'mon, I need more emphasis!" Wani demanded.

All K-Pop: Hey neomu kkumkkwossdeon sungan-iya (kkumman gat-eungeol)
With my girls ijen nunbichman bwado al-a oh

hwa-eumcheoleom ssah-yeoganeun us-eumsolie

"Finally!" Wani yelled. "Jeez I thought it would take a million years.

The fashion twins ran to them.
"We got the costumes and jewelry ready girls!"

Wani looked at their creations and was impressed with what she sees.
"Gamsahabnida sonyeodeul, now you're coming with us we need you as our back up dancers."

All of them paused.
"What!"

"But Wani, you already have us," Baby Bun said.

"The more the merrier girls," Wani said.

"No it's fine we can step out," Satin said.

"Yeah it wouldn't be nice to ruin what you guys have," Chenille said.

Wani grabs them and does a make over on them.
"You're not ruining, you are strengthening. Now come on."

They grab the fashion twins and scurried out. Branch and the reggaeton trolls cought them doing this.

"Hey look at that you aren't the only one genre jumping," Trisillo pointed out.

"Well at least I ain't alone," Branch responded.

Poppy comes to the back of the stage.
"Where is Branch?!"

Branch walks to her.
"Poppy, what happened?"

Poppy stares at his new look.
"I should ask you the same question. Like what is this?"

Branch smirks.
"You like it?"

"I can get used to this actually," Poppy continues to stare. But then she snaps out of that and starts to focus again. "Umm, look the leaders said that maybe this show isn't the best idea. And-"

Trisillo busts in.
"Wait! The leaders? Why wasn't I informed? Uh, they still look at us as the lower tribes?"

"Oh no," Marimba puts her hand on her hip. "They messed with the wrong trolls."

"What should we do Trisillo?" Tambora asked.

"We show them who is also in the picture," Trisillo said. "Come on Branch let's go."

"Ah,"

Poppy looked surprised.
"Wait, Branch is...WHAT?!"

On stage...

K- pop: hwa-eumcheoleom ssah-yeoganeun us-eumsolie
hanadulssig kkaeeonaneun banjjag-ineun starlight

Reggaeton trolls appear.

"Step aside K-pop trolls," Trisillo said. "We need this stage to prove a point to the rest of these trolls."

"Well we need this stage to show our fabulous looks and music," Wani said. " You really want to do this again in front of everyone?"

"If it means getting fair treatment then yes," Trisillo said.

Trisillo and the girls prepared for battle and the K-pop trolls were also prepared. Satin, Channile, and Branch were hesitant and shrugged at each other.

K -pop: Chagapgo jinhan milkshake
Hyeokkeute peojyeo jjinghan gamgak
Make me crazy
Bultumyeonghan you babe
Ilkeul su eopseo
Geuraeseo deo kkeullineun iyu

Banjeon gateun vanilla hyang
Maltuneun nice geuge danseo
Budeureopge nal hwimora
Mame all night pagodeureo

Trisillo prepares for battle.

Reggaeton:(Bailando, bailando, bailando, bailando)

Trisillo: Tú cuerpo y el mío llenando el vacío
Subiendo y bajando (subiendo y bajando)
Reggaeton: (Bailando, bailando, bailando, bailando)

Trisillo: Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo
Me va saturando

The crowd cheers. The reggaeton trolls thought they had it on the bag. The fashion twins and Branch quietly went back stage. When the K-pop and Reggaeton trolls looked back they only had one concern now. They lost their new friends.

"That was crazy," Branch said.

"Tell us about it," the fashion twins responded.

The snack pack came along.

"What were you guys thinking?" Biggie asked.

"Are you betraying us?" Smidge asked.

"What no, they are our friends...or... at least they were," Branch said sadly.

"They weren't so bad once you got to know them," the fashion twins said.

Hickory comes in.
"Really? I don't care much for the genres in between ours."

"Says the yodeler," Branch said.

"Don't!" Hickory yelled. "Don't remind me."

Biggie saddens and gives Mr. Dinkles to Hickory.

"Who's this little fella?" Hickory grabs him.

"He's my best friend, Mr. Dinkles," Biggie said. " He makes me feel better and it looks like you need him right now."

Hickory looks at the creature. He smiles at him and hugs him.

"Yo can I see it?!" Dickory pulls apart from Hickory's body.

"No you can't," He yelled. "Now het back in there!"

Hickory gives Biggie his Dinkles and attaches himself to Dickory. He stares up and sees the moon for a moment of clarity. He looks at Delta Dawn. The one who changed his world and got him confused all around.

Hickory: Everyone knows all about my direction
And in my heart somewhere
I wanna go there, still I don't go there

Everybody says, "say something that says something"
"Say something that says something", say something that says something
I don't wanna get caught up in the rhythm of it

But I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it

Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have

The trolls look at each other. Biggie grabs Hickory's hat and puts it on his head.

Everyone knows all about your transgressions
Still in your heart somewhere
There's melody and harmony
For you and she, tonight
Whoa, I hear her call your name

So you gotta,
Snack Pack: "say something that says something"
"Say something that says something", say something that says something
I don't wanna get caught up in the rhythm of it

But if you can't help yourself, no, you can't help yourself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, you can't help yourself, no, you can't help yourself, no, no,

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Biggie puts Hickory's hat back on his head.

Biggie:Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing

Hickory: But I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Hickory :Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
Snack pack:(Soon it will be something you can have)

Biggie and Hickory:Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing

Hickory sees Delta Dawn. He looks back at his friends and they cheer him on. He stood straight, looked forward, and marched to Delta Dawn. Biggie was really happy and whipes his tears away.

"Isn't love beautiful Mr. Dinkles?"

"Mew,"

Delta Dawn was talking to the leaders about canceling the show. Hickory ignored all of it and concentrated on what he was going to say. Poppy sees Hickory and waves at him. He waves back. He clears his throat.

"Hey Delta it's me again."

Delta turns back.
"Oh hello. What brings you here?"

Hickory swoons but snaps out of it.
"I just wanted to tell you something that I wanted to say ever since I saw you."

"Okay what is it?"

Hickory grabs her hand.
"Delta, you are more beautiful than a desert flower. You sing more lovely than a hundred harmonized birds. Your eyes shine brighter than the glistening sunset. You changed my world, Delta Dawn. I want tou and me to get to know one another. So will you be my desert flower."

Delta puts her hands on her heart.
"Well in all my years...that was lovely Hickory. How could a girl turn down a charming man like you?"

Poppy squeals.
"So cute!"

Delta giggles.
"Yeah have love, Hickory."

Hickory pulls her over and kisses her in an instant. Everyone clapped. Poppy was happy but then she remembered that Hickory isn't a country troll. What will they do if they found out. Hickory and Delta separate and wave each other goodbye.

"Never knew I was so loved," Delta said.

"Yeah, um, should you only love your own kind?" Poppy asked.

"Yes," Delta said. "That's how it always been. But Hickory isn't a troll, he is an angel I'll tell you that."

Poppy gets up out of her seat and runs to the snack pack.

"Guys this is perfect you guys are amazing," Poppy said. "This can break the fued. It can change the course of history and we can all unite as one. We have to tell Delta and the others."

Poppy runs to bring the news but Branch pulls her back.

"What are you doing? They will rage if they find out who he is."

"She should love him for who he is and not for his tribe origins," Poppy said.

"They don't have your view," Branch said. "If they find out who knows what will happen."

"We need to believe that things will change Branch," Poppy said. "I know what I'm doing this time."

"Ok, just be careful, please," Branch holds her hands.

"Don't worry about me," Poppy smiles and walks away.

"So what are we gonna do with the K-pop and reggaeton trolls?"

The K-pop and reggaeton came in.
"Nothing!"

"Woah what happened to you guys?" Smidge asked.

Barb came from behind them.
"They attacked them so I had to do my job and stop the hoop-la. Don't ask how I managed it cuz I learned something about myself and so did the village."

"Look, we're sorry about how we acted," Trisillo said.

"Can you forgive us?" Wani asked.

"Hmmm, you guys looked like you suffered through enough so yeah we forgive you," Branch said.

"Also let's get you all fixed up into fashion, " the fashion twins said.

"Fashionable as you?" Wani asked.

"Nope, even better!"
