The gang was in the castle library, looking at notes and maps.
DJ came in, and Poppy asked, "How is he?"
"Resting. Any luck?"
Prince D said, "No, I found some books on this flower, but not much on their location."
Cooper looked at some notes, "What's this?"
Delta said, "Those are nothing. Just some weird markings I found in the botany books."
Cooper took a closer look at them, and looked at them like he understood them.
Poppy asked, "What? You see something?"
Cooper said, "Yeah. These make a map. How do you not see that?"
Cooper arranged the notes and said, "See? Those squiggles are water. That big nose is an island. And that. That right there would be-"
DJ knew, "The Manta Magnolia!"
Barb asked, "How did you do that?"
Cooper said, "I'm a bit of an art expert. Mostly abstracts."
Branch took a look again, "Actually, this looks familiar."
Branch pulled out a map and saw it matches one of the islands.
Biggie said, "You guys, we found it!"
Poppy said, "We found a location. Now, let's pray they still exist."

The gang went to the island on the map and started looking around.
King Quincy said, "They have to be here somewhere. Search every inch of this island."
Everyone started looking.
But, so far, none had prevailed.
Delta said, "Shoot. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Queen Essence said, "Think, everyone, think. What else do we know about the flower that would give us clues?"
Everyone thought for a minute.
Branch then remembered, "The flower likes to grow in areas with the most sun. What part of this island gets the most sun?"
Everyone looked around.
DJ then pointed, "There."
Everyone went to where she pointed.
There they were.
The Manta Magnolias.
DJ said, "We found them! These are gonna save Trollex!"
Poppy said, "Quick. Grab as many as you can."
However, when Poppy picked just one, something unbelievable happened.
The flower immediately shriveled up and died.
Barb said, "Whoa."
Smidge asked, "What do we do now?"
Branch said, "We take the whole bush back to Techno Reef."
However, Trollzart remembered he brought a book with him.
He looked in it and said, "We can't do that. The same thing might happen if the bush isn't in the perfect living conditions."
DJ said, "Well, now what?"
Poppy thought and said, "Well, if we can't bring the flowers to Trollex-"
Barb finished, "Bring Trollex to the flowers. I'm on it."
Barb left on her flyer for Techno Reef.
DJ was clearly afraid for Trollex's life.
Poppy noticed and said, "It'll be ok. We're gonna save Trollex before the third day passes."
DJ smiled.
