"98... 99..." Smidge counted, as she lifted a dumbbell six times her size, with her hair.

     "Hey, Smidge," Poppy greeted, walking into Smidge's Pod with Branch following close behind.

     Smidge smiled, looking up at Poppy, when she heard her voice.

     "Hi, Poppy," she said in her deep voice, as she tossed the weights away casually.

     They flew out the window, making a crashing sound, as they hit the ground hard.

    "MY LEG!" a random troll screamed loudly.

     The three trolls flinched at the sound, looking towards the window in concern.

     "So..." Smidge said awkwardly, as she looked out the window. Slowly, she turned back to Poppy, smiling innocently. "What do you need? Whatever it is... your helper is on the job."
"Well I..." Poppy started, but Smidge quickly cut her off.

     "Do you need me to pay someone a 'friendly' visit?" the little yellow troll asked, as she pounded her hand with her fist.

     Branch gulped, as he hid behind Poppy, afraid of Smidge. She may be small... but she was definitely mighty... she's one troll you don't want to mess with.

     "Uh..." Poppy said, a little concerned by Smidge's question. "No?"
"Oh... ok then. What can I do for ya?"

     Poppy smiled again, getting excited.

     "I'm having a girl's night tonight," she said. "You wanna come?"
"Heck ya, I do!" Smidge replied happily.
"Great!" Poppy exclaimed. "See you at my pod, three hug times from now."

—————

     Finally, it was time for Girl's night. Poppy waited in her pod for the guests to show up, Smidge being the first one to arrive, followed closely by Holly, Val, R&B, Carol, and Barb.

"Hi, girls," Poppy greeted happily. "I am so glad you made it. Let's get..." She paused, looking at her group of friends, her smile fading a little. "Wait... where's Delta?"

     "I'm here, y'all," Delta said, finally walking through the door.

     Poppy smiled at the sight of her friend, but her smile quickly faded, when she noticed how upset Delta looked.

"What's wrong?" Poppy asked, concerned for her friend.
"I'm sorry, but I can't stay," Delta apologized.
"Awwwww," all the trolls pouted.

"Why not? What's wrong?" Poppy asked.
"I couldn't find a baby sitter for Clampers," Delta explained with a slight shrug. "Everyone in Trollstopia is afraid of her for some reason. Can't imagine why. She's a precious little angle."

Clampers stuck her head out of Delta's hair, smiling innocently, a golden halo appearing over her head. 😇

"Well... that's ok. Clampers can join us too," Poppy said, smiling.
"Really? Are y'all sure about that?" Delta questioned, skeptical about the offer.
"Of course!" Poppy answered cheerfully. "Everyone's welcome at girl's night! Besides... who could say no to that cute little face?" She booped Clampers' nose, and the little country troll laughed sweetly.

"Ok than. I guess I'm staying!" Delta cheered.
"Yay!" everyone shouted joyfully, happy about Delta's announcement.

     "This is gonna be so much fun!" Poppy said, getting all hyped up.
"Ok, Poppy..." Val said, placing a hand on the Queen of pop's shoulder, as she gave her a firm look. "You're at a full on double rainbow... I'm gonna need you to dial it on back to a single."

     Poppy smiled innocently, chuckling slightly.

     "Sorry," she apologized. "Now... let's get this girl's night started!" she yelled out, a little less enthusiastically, as per Val's request.

As they all turned away, Clampers' innocent grin turned into an evil snear, her halo shattering, and being replaced by devil horns. 😈

She snickered maniacally, rubbing her hands together mischievously.

2 Minutes Later
———————————

"AHHHHHH!" everyone screamed, hiding under Poppy's bed, as Clampers ran around, chomping at everything she could get to.

     Poppy's pod was completely destroyed, bite marks taken out of pillows, blankets, picture frames... even the walls had chunks bitten out of them.

"Uh... maybe this was a bad idea..." Poppy said, chuckling nervously.
"You think!?" everyone shouted at her.

"Look, y'all..." Delta said sadly. "I'm sorry about all this. I'll just take Clampers and leave. Y'all have fun without me."

     She started to climb out from under the bed, but Poppy quickly stopped her.

     "No! Wait!" Poppy shouted, grabbing Delta, as she smiled maliciously. "I have a better idea."

—————

Down in his bunker, Branch was relaxing, he and Gary enjoying some alone time.

     "Well, Gary," Branch said with a relaxed smile. "There's nothing better than a glass of finely aged groundwater seepage."

     He clinked his glass against Gary's, before taking a sip.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, startling him quite a bit. He wasn't expecting visitors. Especially not this late at night...

"Hugh... who could that be?" he asked himself softly.

He rode his elevator up to his hatch, opening it cautiously.

"Hello?" he said suspiciously. "Who's..." His sentence was cut off by Poppy shoving Calmpers into his arms.

     "Have fun, Branch!" she shouted, running off quickly, before Branch could give the young country troll back.

     "Wait! Poppy, I..."

Slowly, he looked down at Clampers in his arms. At first she just seemed like an innocent child, but it wasn't long before she smiled evilly up at him, her big, sharp teeth sparkling in the moonlight.

Branch gulped, his eyes widening in horror.

"Oh no..."
