(In This Episode, I'm Not Gonna Add Poppy In This, 'Cause Cloud Guy's In This And I Hate Him So Much).

***

In Pop Village, Everyone Was Giving Their Special Someone The Hug Day Hug.

Z, Skylar, Brab, Branch And Prince D Was Giving The Young Trolls A Lecture About Hug Day.

Z Was Wearing A Gemstone Earring On Her Left Ear And Her Rainbow Ring For The Occasion.

"Now, Can Anyone Guess Why Pop Trolls Celebrate Hug Day?" Z Asked The Children.

"Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh!" Keith Exclaimed.

But He Thought About It For A Minute And Said, "No."

Z, Branch, Skylar, Barb And Prince D Were Confused By That.

"Well, He's... Something." Prince D Stated.

"Yeah. He's Gotta Style All His Own." Branch Said.

"Well, Pop Trolls Hug So Much, It's Easy To Forget How Powerful Hugs Can Be For Pop Trolls." Z Explained.

"Hence, 'For The Whole Day, Trolls May Give Or Recieve One Hug From Another Troll.'" Priscilla Stated.

"That's Right, Priscilla." Z Confirmed.

"That's What I Was Gonna Say!" Keith Stated.

"Sure, He Was." Barb Whispered To Z.

Z Stiffen Her Laughter.

"I'm Gonna Save My One Hug For My Dad." Coral Blush Said.

"Well, Don't Wait Too Long. You Only Get One No Matter Who Starts It." Z Explained.

"Z's Right. So, If There's Someone Special You Want To Hug, You Work Up The Courage To Ask Them, Before They Hug Someone Else." Skylar Said As He Looks At Z.

"Like How Branch Was Being A Complete Chicken Asking Poppy If He Could Have Her Hug Day Hug." Barb Teased.

Everyone Laughed.

"Oh, Ha, Ha, Ha. Very Funny, Barb." Branch Said, Sarcastically.

"Oh, Come On, Branch. It Was Pretty Funny." Z Said, Laughing.

Everyone's Laughter Dialed Down.

Then, Keith Noticed That Skylar Was Still Looking At Z.

"Uh, Why Are You Looking Z When You're Talking To Me?" Keith Asked.

"Yeah. Why Are You Staring At Her?" Barb Asked, Teasingly.

"Yeah, Why?" Prince D Asked.

"Why's That, Skylar?" Branch Asked.

Z Looked At Skylar.

"Uh... Well, I... Uh." Skylar Studdered.

"Excuse Me, Kids. But, Me And Skylar Need To Get Something Real Quick. We'll Be Right Back." Branch Said.

Branch Turned To Barb And Prince D And Asked, "Mind Giving Us A Helping Hand?"

"Sure." They Said.

Skylar, Branch, Prince D And Barb Went Into Branch's Bunker.

"That Was Weird." Cosmo Stated.

"Maybe I Should Give Him My Hug." Keith Said.

"I Doubt You Should, 'Cause Skylar Looked Like He Has A Special Someone In Mind." Clampers Explained.

"I Wonder Who." Coral Blush Wondered.

***

In Branch's Bunker, Skylar Was Sitting On Branch's Chair.

"So... Why Did You Bring Me Here?" Skylar Asked.

"We're Gonna Ask You Something And We Need You To Be Honest." Branch Said.

"Okay." Skylar Said.

"Do You Have A Crush On Z?" Barb Asked.

Skylar Sighed And Said, "A Little Bit, Yeah."

"Well, That Went Easier Then We Thought." Barb Stated.

"This Is So Exciting! My Best Friend Has He's First Crush! And It's On My Sister!" Prince D Exclaimed.

"I Never Thought I'd See The Day Where Someone Else Would Have A Crush On Her." Branch Said.

"Who Else Has A Crush On Her?" Barb Asked.

"You Don't Wanna Know." Branch Said.

"My Best Friend Has A Crush! My Best Friend Has A Crush! My Best Friend Has A Crush!" Prince D Sang.

"Wait. Does Z Know You Want To Give Her Your Hug Day Hug?" Branch Asked.

"No." Skylar Answered.

"You Should Ask Her Before It's Too Late." Barb Stated.

"I Know, But I'm Nervous. And Before You Say Anything, Don't Judge Me, Barb." Skylar Said.

"I Didn't Say Anything." Barb Said.

"Yeah. But, You Were Thinking It." Skylar Said.

"Trouble In Paradise?"

"Who Said That?" Branch Asked.

"It Was..."

Then, Cloud Guy Came Out.

"Oh, Please, No." Branch Said.

"... Me." Cloud Guy Said As He Kissed Branch's Cheek.

"Nice To See You. How You Been? Your Cave Is Looking Creepy As Usual." Cloud Guy Said.

"A Talking Cloud?" Barb Asked.

"That Must Be Cloud Guy. Z Told Me About Him Once. She Also Said That He Has A Crush On Her." Prince D Stated.

"Really?" Skylar Asked.

Prince D Nodded In Confirment.

"Cloud Guy, How'd You Get In Here?" Branch Asked.

"I'm A Cloud. I Sleep In Anywhere." Cloud Guy Stated.

"Don't Play Dumb With Us, Cloudy." Barb Said Bluntly.

"Kidding. I Broke In." Cloud Guy Said As He Dropped Some Pliers On The Ground.

"He Never Really Respects Peoples Space, Doesn't He?" Skylar Asked

"No, Skylar. No, He Does Not." Branch Answered.

"Ooh, By The By, You Got Some Crazy Stuff In Here. Like This." Cloud Guy Said.

He Threw A Book, But Skylar Grabbed It And Puts It Down.

"Don't."

"And This."

Then, He Grabbed A Bowling Ball And Prince D Grabs It.

"Stop."

"Ooh, And Also This."

Lastly, He Grabbed A Golden Bowling Trophy Then Branch Caught It.

"Cut It Out." Branch Grunted.

Skylar Grabbed Cloud Guy And Asked, "What Do You Want?"

"Jeez, No Small Talk?" Cloud Guy Asked.

The Four Trolls Weren't Convinced.

"Fine. I Need Advice On Women. I Met A Special Lady Friend." Cloud Guy Explained.

"There Are Cloud Girls?" Barb Asked.

"Of Course. Where Do You Think Baby Clouds Come From?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"Water Vapor Condensing Around Microscopic Pieces Of Dust?" Branch Stated The Obivious.

"And They Say I'm The Funny One. Anywhoozele, I Was Hoping You'd Teach Me Some Moves To Sweep My Lady Love Off Her Feet." Cloud Guy Said.

"Branch?" Skylar Guessed.

"Nope. You." Cloud Guy Said As He Points At Him.

"Skylar?!" Prince D, Branch And Barb Exclaimed.

"Me?! But, I Don't Know Anything About Romance." Skylar Admitted.

"Don't Be Coy, Lover Boy. I Know That Inside That Silly, Funny Exterior Is The Soul Of A Poet."

He Opened Skylar's Mouth And Pulled Out A Taquito.

"And Taquitos. Apparently."

"Skylar Doesn't Eat Taquitos." Prince D Stated.

"So, Romeo, Ready To Light This Candle? Do This Like Brutus? All Systems Go On Project Moi?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"No." Skylar Answered He Grabbed Cloud Guy Legs With His Hair.

"Not... How I Saw... This... Going..." Cloud Guy Said, Strangling.

"How Are Your Legs Attached?" Skylar Asked.

"I've Been Wondering That For Years." Branch Stated.

"I Can See You Need Convincing? Would This Sweeten The Offer?" Cloud Guy Asked As He Pulled Out A Journal.

Skylar Gasped As He Lets Go Off Cloud Guy And Fell On The Floor.

Cloud Guy Cleared His Throat Reads The Journal Out Aloud, ""Things I Admire About Z.""

"That's My Private Diary." Skylar Said.

"How Did You Even Get His Diary?" Barb Asked.

"Honestly, I'm Scared To Even Know." Branch Said.

"Not As Private As You Thought." Cloud Guy Said.

Skylar Tried To Get His Diary Back, But Couldn't.

"Dude, You Can't Go And Steal Skylar's Private Things Just So He Can Help You. That's Not Nice." Prince D Stated.

Cloud Guy Just Ignored Him.

"Cool Your Fans, Grabby Paws. If You Want This Back, You Got To Teach Me Your Wooing Ways." Cloud Guy Explained.

"I Told You. I Don't Know Anything About Romance. So, It Ain't Gonna Happen." Skyalr Stated.

"No Problemo. I'm Sure TrollsTopia Will Find Your Diary Very Entertaining, Especially The Part  You Wanting To Give Z Your Hug." Cloud Guy Said.

"What Does Popsqueak Like About This Guy?" Barb Asked.

"I've Been Asking That Question For Months." Branch Answered.

"I Can See Why You And Z Hate Him So Much." Prince D Said.

Cloud Guy Puts The Diary In His Body And Skylar Put His Right Paw In Cloud Guy's Body. 

"Oh, My, Skylar." Cloud Guy Said.

"Got It." Skylar Said As He Grabbed It.

But, When He Pulled It Out, He Found Out It Was A Snake.

"Ah!" Skylar, Branch, Barb And Prince D Shrieked.

"Wha--What Was That?" Skylar Asked, A Little Scared.

"I'm A Weird Creature, Skylar. Get Used To It." Cloud Guy Said.

"Fine. Here's I Only Know Women. Exude Confidence, Be A Good Listener, And Be Careful On What You Say 'Cause What You Say Might Offend Her. Now Give Me My Diary!" Skylar Demanded.

"You Know, I'm More Of A Visual Learner." Cloud Guy Stated.

"I Have A Bad Feeling About This." Skylar Said.

"Me Too, Dude. Me Too." Barb Said.

***

Cloud Guy Lit A Candle And Said, "Let's Start With A Little Roleplay. You Be Me And I'll Be She."

"Wait A Minute. Why Can't It Be The Other Way Around?" Prince D Asked.

"Yeah. Isn't Skylar Suppose To Help Him?" Barb Asked.

"Honestly, I Have No Idea. But, He Has To Do It If He Wants His Diary Back." Branch Stated.

"Oh, My, Cloud. Your Chest Is So Fluffy Have You Been Near A Warm Front? Now Teach Me. What Do I Say?" Cloud Guy Asked.

Skylar Thinks For A While Until He Saw His Diary.

Skylar Sighed As He Walks To The Table And Sat On The Chair.

"Try Starting With A Compliment." Skylar Suggested.

"Like?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"Hmm. How About Your Eye--" Skylar Started But He Got Splashed In The Face.

"She's Very Sensitive About Her Eyes. Should've Mentioned That. Try Again." Cloud Guy Said.

Skylar Sighed And Said, "When You Smile--"

He Splashed In The Face Again.

"Touchy About Her Smile, Too. Best To Avoid The Face Altogether. Try Again."

Skylar Was About To Say Something, But Splashed And Fell On The Ground.

"She Hates Awkward Silences." Cloud Guy Stated.

"You Didn't Let Him Say Anything, Cloud." Barb Said.

"Skylar, You Okay?" Prince D Asked As He Helps His Best Friend Up.

"A Little Wet, But I'm Okay." Skylar Answered.

"You Know, You're A Terrible Me. You're Missing All The Nuance, All The Handsomeness. Can You Be Her?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"That's It! I'm Gonna Kill Him." Barb Said.

Branch And Prince D Held Her Back.

Skylar Sighed And Said, "Whatever Gets This Over With."

"One Thing, Though-- I Have A Terrible Imagination. Would You Mind?" Cloud Guy Asked.

Cloud Guy Pulled Out A Red Dress And A Wig.

Skylar, Prince D, Brab And Branch Was Shocked.

Skylar Grabbed The Dress And Ripped It In Half.

"What? Didn't Like The Color?" Cloud Guy Asked.

He Pulled Out A Light Blue Dress And Skylar Grabbed It Tried To Rip It.

Cloud Guy Cleared His Throat And Said, "May I Remind You Of Our Deal?"

"If I Try To Teach You In Anyway I Can, Do You Promise To Give It Back? No More Cloud Guy Tricks?" Skylar Asked.

"Promise." Cloud Guy Promised.

"We'll Help You Too, Skylar." Branch Said.

"We're Not Letting You Do This Alone." Prince D Said.

"Yeah. We Always Have Your Back." Barb Said.

"All Right, Then. Class Is In Session." Skylar Declared.

***

Branch, Skylar, Prince D And Barb Teaches Cloud Guy The "ABCs": Attentiveness, Ballroom Dancing And Chivalry. Cloud Guy Has To Pass Through On Situations Such As A Mud Puddle Obstacle, Eye Contact, And Ballroom Dancing. He Fails Through Several Times, But Eventually Improves Himself Throughout The Whole Session.

"You're Doing Great." Skylar Stated.

"Now, Speak From Your Heart." Branch Said.

"I'm Trying, But It's Just Mist And Vapors In There. Help Me?" Cloud Guy Said.

"I'll Try, But It May Sound Stupid. There Are Clouds Who Actually Make Your Day Brighter And You Step Ligther. And That's What You Do For Me." Skylar Said.

"Wow. That Actually Sounded Romantic. Did I Just That Out Loud?" Barb Asked.

"Yep." Prince D Said.

"So Beautiful. You Got Me Precipitating Over Here." Cloud Guy Said, Crying.

Skylar Chuckled, "I Really Do Have The Soul Of A Poet."

***

"Well, Pals, I'm Off To Give My Hug To My Special Lady Friend. See You On The Flip." Cloud Guy Said.

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. My Diary?" Skylar Asked.

Cloud Guy Gives Skylar His Diary Back.

A Girl Cloud Flew Passed Them.

"She's A Real Beaut." Branch Complimented.

"Good Luck." Skylar Said.

Cloud Guy Grabs A Blue Lily And Landed Back Down.

"Thanks Again For The Help. Lady Z's Not Gonna Know What Hugged Her." Cloud Guy Said.

"Wait. Your Crush Is Z?" Skylar Asked.

"You Said It Was A Cloud." Prince D Pointed Out.

"No, I Misled You Guys Into Thinking It Was A Cloud. Now, If You All Excuse Me, I Have A Hug To Give." Cloud Guy Said.

"Please. She'd Never Waste Her Hug Day Hug On Someone Like You." Branch Said.

"Besides, Z Hates You To The Bone, Dude." Barb Added.

"I Agree, But She Won't Be Giving It To Me. She'll Be Giving It To..."

* Aha! *

"... This Guy. Oh, And It's Thanks To You." Cloud Guy Said In A Spainsh Accent.

Cloud Guy Walked Away.

SKylar Fainted On The Ground.

"Skylar!" Prince D Screamed As He Helped Him Up.

"I Can't Believe Cloud Guy Tricked Me!" Skylar Said.

"I Can't Believe Cloud Guy Still Has A Crush On Her. Even Though She Still Kept Rejecting Him." Branch Stated.

"It's Useless. I'm Stupid." Skylar Said.

"You're Not Stupid, Skylar. Just Because You Know Nothing About Romance, Doesn't Mean You're Stupid." Prince D Protested.

"Skylar, This Is Gonna Be My First And Last Time I Say This: If You Want Z's Hug Day Hug, You Need To Ask Her Before That Stupid Cloud Gets It First." Barb Said.

"You're Right. Wish Me Luck." Skylar Said As He Ran Off To Find Z.

***

Z Was Walking Through Pop Village Until A Table Appeared Out Of Nowhere.

"Aah!" Z Shrieked.

Then, Someone Pushed A Chair For Z To Sit On.

"Oh!" Z Said.

Z Turned Around And Saw Cloud Guy

"Funny Running Into You. Come Here Often?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"Cloud Guy! You've Been... Working Out?" Z Asked, Shocked.

"Oh. You Noticed? But Enough About My Rock-Hard Bod. How Are You, My Beautiful Princess?" Cloud Guy Asked As He Kissed Z's Front Left Paw.

"First Of All: I'm Fine. And Second: I Know I'm Going To Regret Asking This, But What Do You Want?" Z Asked, Irriated.

"Shall We Saunter?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"Fine. Whatever It Takes To Leave Me Alone." Z Stated As She And Coud Guy Walked Away.

Unknown To Them, Skylar Was Watching Them.

Then, Cloud Guy Made A Electricial Cloud That Shocked Them.

"I Think I Felt A Spark." Cloud Guy Said.

Z Sighed And Said, "This Is A Gonna Be A Long Day."

Skylar Growled As He Broke His Binoculars.

***

"So, Z, I've Got A Question For You. Given That It's Hug Day, I Was Wondering If-" Cloud Guy Said But Was Interupted.

"Hey, Gang! Cloud Guy, You're Looking Damp As Usual." Skylar Stated. 

"Skylar. There You Are. I've Been Looking All Over For You." Z Said.

"You Were?" Skylar Asked, Surprised.

"You've Been Gone For Almost All Day. I Was Worried About You." Z Stated.

"Oh. Well, I'm Fine. What Have Ya'll Been Up To?" Skylar Asked.

"We Are Haeded To Bird Cliff To Catch The Sunset." Cloud Guy Answered.

"Bird Cliff?" Skylar Asked, Confused.

The Two Funk Trolls And Cloud Guy Saw A Cliff Surrounded By Birds.

"Wow. That's Really Specific." Skylar Said.

"I Know. You'll Get Used To It." Z Assured.

"You Like Birds, Don't You, Skylar?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"I Don't Really Know. I've Never Seen A Bird Before." Skylar Said.

"Well, Considering That Funk Trolls Live In A Spaceship Most Of Their Whole Lives, I Wouldn't Be Surprised That You've Never Seen A Bird Before." Z Stated.

"Huh. I'm See Birds Everyday. But If You're Scared, Feel Free To Sit This One Out." Cloud Guy Said. 

Cloud Guy Sqawked Like A Bird.

"What? I'm Not Sitting Anything Out." Skylar Stated.

"Skylar, You're Acting Upbeat Then Usual. Is Everything Okay?" Z Asked.

"He's Probably Excited For Hug Day. Speaking Of Which, What's Your Status, Gladys?" Cloud Guy Asked As He Spins Z And Made Her Lean Down.

"Um, I Haven't Hugged Yet. I've Been Saving It." Z Answered.

"Interesting." Cloud Guy Said.

Skylar Grabbed Z's Front Left Paw And Spins Her Away From Cloud Guy.

"And She's Not Going To." Skylar Stated.

"You Don't Think I'm Gonna Get A Hug?" Z Asked, Disappointed.

"No, No, No, No, No. That's What I Mean." Skylar Said.

"Well, Why Wouldn't She, Skylar? I Think You're Very Huggable. In Fact, There Are Trolls Who Make Your Day Brighter, Your Step Lighter, And That's What You Do For Me." Cloud Guy Complimented.

"That's... Sweet. I Think." Z Said.

"Thank You. I've Been Told I Have A Soul Of A Poet." Cloud Guy Stated.

"No, You Haven't." Z And Skylar Said.

"Ok, Look, A Mud Puddle. Allow To Cover It For You, Z." Cloud Guy Said.

"No, I'll Do It." Skylar Insisted.

"Why? I Could Just Walk Around It." Z Said.

"Or... Float Over It." Cloud Guy Said As He Puts Z On Top Of Him And Starts Flying Towards Bird Cliff.

Determined Not To Lose Z's Hug To Cloud Guy, Skylar Rushes Towards Bird Cliff To Stop Cloud Guy.

But Just As He Arrived, Cloud Guy Hugged Z.

Angry, Skylar Attacks Cloud Guy And Tries To Subdue Him, But Was Easily Countered.

"Skylar, What's Wrong With You?" Z Asked.

"Yeah, Skylar. What's Wrong?" Cloud Guy Asked.

"He Gave You His Hug Day Hug, When He Knows Full Well That I Wanted To!" Skylar Admitted.

"You Do?" Z Asked.

"Yes, Of Course! You're One Of The Most Important People In My Life! But I Was So Scared You'd Say No, And Now I Blew It!" Skylar Explained.

"Why Would I Say No? I Was Gonna To Ask You." Z Admitted.

"You Were?! You Were?" Skylar Asked, Surprised.

Cloud Guy Applauds For Skylar.

"Way To Finally Put It Up There, Pal. When I Read Your Diary, I Realized You Needed A Little Motivation. You Are Welcome." Cloud Guy Said.

"Wait, What? This Was All A Trick?" Skylar Asked.

"You Can Owe Me One, Water Gun." Cloud Guy Said As He Squirts Water On Skylar's Face.

"But Her Hug Is Gone. You Hugged Her." Skylar Said.

"No, No, No. The Rule On Hug Day Is That You Can Only Hug One Troll." Z Stated.

"Hello? I'm A Cloud... Guy." Cloud Guy Said.

"I Can See Why You And Branch Hate Him So Much." Skylar Said.

"I Know." Z Said.

Z And Skylar Hugged Each Other At The Sunset.

"Well, Looks Like We Both Got Both Our Hug Day Hugs." Z Said.

"Yeah, I Guess We Did." Skylar Said.

"Come On. Let's Head Home. I'm Hungry." Z Stated.

"Me Too." Skylar Said.

Z And Skylar Walked To Leave Bird Cliff And Went Back To TrollsTopia.
