Aquatic Tour

Chapter Five

Meanwhile, with Barb, Trollex, Branch, Darnell and Poppy, they were on a boat, sailing across the great ocean. They looked at the view of the water and sees the beautiful fish swimming through the crystal blue water. Even Trollex started to have a nice swim with them

Trollex: *laughing* WOOHOO!! *jumping out and in the water* HAHA!!

Barb: *smiles at him* 🥰

Darnell: *watches him swim* Nice swimming, dude!

Trollex: Thanks, D! I've never been this far away from home before

Poppy: Really? You've never been outside Techno Reef?

Trollex: *climbing aboard* Yes, when Barb had her World Tour

Barb: Oh, yeah. Not my proudest moments

Poppy: Hey, we still forgive you after you captured us and the other Troll leaders as well as destroying our homes and stealing the strings, tried to turn us all into Hard Rock Trolls and taking over the world

All: 😐

Barb: 😰

Poppy: Eh. Water under the bridge

Barb: Ok, Popsicle, the way you said that felt like a bunch of guilt, in the form of a fist, punched me right in the gut. And I might wanna hurl

Poppy: Ooh. Sorry about that, Barb

Barb: That's ok. But *smiles at Trollex* at least I have something to get my mind off of it

Trollex: *smiles back at her*

Branch then came out, wearing a sailor's hat and had an "Boat Navigation" scrapbook and placed it on a crate

Branch: Ok. Over about 546 pages, I'm gonna learn how to steer this baby

Poppy: *grabs the book* Branch, we don't need a giant comprehensive manual *tossed it in the ocean* How hard can it be?

Trollex: Ok, Poppy, you gotta stop throwing things overboard. It's going to cause pollution. Especially when we're in a huge body of water

Barb: Plus, Branch? What's up with the hats? It's like you have a hat for every occasion or something

Branch: Oh, I do. I even have a safari hat

Darnell: Huh. That could come in handy when we're back on land

Branch: See? I'm already I'm getting compliments

Barb: 🤨?? *to Poppy* And you're dating him?

Poppy: I know it's a little weird, but I mostly find that cute

Branch: Aww. Thanks

Barb: *rolled her eyes* Barf *walked away and went over to Trollex who was looking at the view of the water* Hey, T. You doing ok?

Trollex: ...Yeah. I'm just so...excited but yet nervous about meeting these Aquatic Trolls out there

Barb: Bro, there's nothing to be nervous about. You've never seen me being nervous when I met you and the other Trolls

Trollex: Yeah, that's true. I just hope they're as friendly as I think they are

Barb: They will be. Well, I'm guessing. You have read about the SharkTrolls' last leader, King Crimson and what he did. Going all bologna bonkers on the other Trolls?

Trollex: Oh...dear 😨

Barb: Oooh. Sorry for putting that in your head

Trollex: No, no, no. It's fine. Maybe a...another swim will help clear my head. I'll be right back *dives in the water*

Barb: *groans and puts her face on the side of the boat* 😞

Darnell: You ok, B?

Barb: Kinda...I just put a terrible thought into Trollex's head

Darnell: Did you tell him that you saw Branch in his bachelor party hat?

Barb: ?!? His wait? No

Darnell: Oh, thank goodness. I do not want you picturing that in your mind

Barb: Okay? Also, you don't want me or anyone else on board to have that in their head buckets, then don't say it

Darnell: Ok, ok. Sorry. And also, "head buckets"?

Barb: I've been hanging around with the Country Trolls a lot

Darnell: Oh
