In Honor Of 'Raya And The Last Dragon'

***

At Pop Village, Z, Prince D, Poppy, Branch, Trollex, Essence, Quincy, Trollzart, Delta And Barb Were Having Lunch.

"Man, That's Good." Barb Said.

"You Can Say That Again." Prince D

"D, Barb, If You Can't Finish, I'll Help You Two Out." Trollex Said, Teasing.

"Thank You, But I'm Doing Fine." Barb Said, Bluntly.

"As Am I." Prince D Said.

"Oh Yeah. That Reminds Me. Yesterday, I Took My Eyes Off Of Tiny, Keith, Priscilla And CJ Suki And They Disappeared." Z Stated.

Delta Gasped.

"It's Fine, Delta. They're Fine. I Found Them Before Sunset." Z Assured.

***

Z Was Talking To CJ, Keith, Priscilla And Tiny.

"All Right! Where Were You Kids?" Z Asked, Angrily.

"The Forest." The Kids Answered.

"Hey! What If The Four Of You Had Gotten Lost?" Z Asked, Surprised.

"We Did Get Lost." Priscilla Stated.

"So Lost!" Keith Said.

"You... You Did?" Z Asked.

"Then, You Know What, Aunt Z?" Tiny Asked.

"We Met This Awesome Creature That Was This Big!" CJ Added.

"Then The Creature Helped Us!" The Kids Said In Unison.

"Huh?" Z Said, Shocked.

"And Look! We Got These!" The Kids Said As They Showed Z Red Berries

***

"You Mean A Creature Saved The Kids?" Trollzart Asked.

"Awesome!" Barb Exclaimed.

"Their Berries Were Red And They Were No Bigger Than This. And They Smelled Really Tasty!" Z Explained, Forming A Oval With Her Paws.

"Huh?" Branch Asked.

"The Berry You Saw Yesterday, Did It Look Like This?" Poppy Said As She Showed What The Berry Looked Like.

"Yeah! That's The One!" Z Confirmed.

"That Berry Is Called A Dragon Berry." Essence Said.

Branch Squealed That It Scared The Leaders.

"So, You Remember, Branch?" Z Asked.

Branch Answered, "Of Course I Do! The Kids Must Have Met..."

"Mother Forest, Right?" Z And Branch Asked Pointing At Each Other.

"Huh?"

"Who's Mother Forest?" Essence Asked.

"See, The Truth Is That Z And I Got Lost In The Forest A Long Time Ago When Were Really Young, Too." Branch Explained.

"And A Creature Saved Us As Well. A Really Big Creature." Z Added.

"What Made Tou Two Think It Was A Girl?" Prince D Asked.

"Well, It Had A Voice. It Sounded Like It Was Female." Z Explained.

"That's Just Like The Kids." Trollzart Stated.

"Wow, That's Some Coincidence." Trollex Said.

"What Kind Of Creature She Is, Huh?" Barb Asked.

"Oh, I'd Like To Know That, Too!" Poppy Said.

"You Know What? The Thing Is We Don't Remember?" Z Said, Sheepishly.

"It's True. Although After Mother Forest Saved Us, We'd Still Visit Her From Time To Time Whenever We Get The Chance." Branch Stated.

"But Then, For Some Reason, She Disappeared. We Tried Looking For Her. But Eventually We Gave Up And Forgot All About Her." Z Added.

"Wow. And The Two Of You Haven't Seen It Since?" Trollex Asked.

"Don't You Want To Try Again?" Trollzart Asked.

"Maybe Now's The Time To Find Her." Z Said.

"You Think So?" Branch Asked.

"Well, She Saved CJ, Priscilla, Keith And Tiny Didn't She? Let's Look! I Want To Thank Her!" Z Said, Determined.

"I Do, Too!" Branch Agreed.

"Let's Go! What Are We Waiting For? I Want To Meet It, Too!" Barb Exclaimed.

"Me, Too!" Poppy Added.

***

Z, Essence, Poppy, Barb, Quincy, Prince D And Branch Are Walking In Troll Forest.

"That's Too Bad. I Wish That Everybody Would Have Done This Together." Poppy Said.

Trollzart Promised Dante If He Could Help Him Teach The Young Classical Trolls To Play Classical Music. Delta Promised Clampers To Teach Her To Square Dance. And Trollex Had To Pay The Children's Hospital A Visit.

"It Was Last Minute. That's Okay." Branch Said.

"Yeah, You're Right." Quincy Chuckled.

"Man, I Really Hope We Get To Meet Mother Forest, You Know." Prince D Said.

"We Will. No Doubt!" Z Said, Determined.

"Wow, Z, You're Fire Up!" Barb Said, Seeing The Fire In Her Eyes.

"Of Course, Because That Was The Day Z And I Met For The First Time." Branch Explained.

"And Thanks To Mother Forest, That's How We Became Best Friends." Z Stated.

"Really?" Poppy Asked.

"Yep. She Was Also The One Where Z Got Her Name." Branch Said.

"You Know, I've Always Wondered How You Two First Met And How You Two Always Get Along So Well." Essence Said.

"Yeah, How Did You Two Meet?" Prince D Asked.

"It Was Fifteen Years Ago." Branch Started.

***

Five Year Old Elizabeth And Serena Was Delivering Some Food To Branch's Father.

"Hey, Thorn." Serena Greeted.

"Serena, What Are You Doing Here?" Thorn Asked.

"I Came Here To Give You The Things You Ordered." Serena Answered.

"Aw, Thanks. I Hope It Wasn't Too Much Trouble." Thorn Said As He Takes The Box.

"It Was No Trouble At All. I Had Another Errand To Run." Serena Stated.

Z Was Picking Some Grass.

"What Are You Doing?" A Voice Asked.

"Uh! Huh?" Elizabeth Asked As She Looked Up To See 7 Year Old Branch.

"What Are You Doing?" Branch Asked.

"Uh... Uh..." Elizabeth Wasn't Sure How To Answer.

Thorn Noticed Elizabeth And Asked, "Serena, Is This The Little Girl You Raved So Much About?"

"Yeah. Thorn, This Is My Daughter, Elizabeth." Serena Introduced.

"It's Nice To Meet You, Elizabeth. I See You've Met My Son, Branch." Thorn Stated.

Elizabeth Nodded In Confirment.

"She Had A Bad Day Today. Some Kid Was Making Fun Of Her For Being Different." Serena Explained.

"Poor Thing. I Know What Might Cheer You Up. Branch, Why Don't Show Her Your Look Out." Thorn Suggested.

"I Don't Know." Branch Said.

"Please?" Thorn Begged.

"Okay. Just This Once." Branch Said.

Branch Grabbed Z's Front Right Leg And Ran Off.

"Don't Go Too Far!" Serena Stated.

"We Won't!" The Two Young Trolls Exclaimed.

***

The Two Trollings Ran Through The Forest Until The Stopped At A Tall Tree.

"Why Did We Stop?" Elizabeth Asked.

"Because... We're Here." Branch Stated.

"Your Lookout Is A Tree?" Elizabeth Asked, Confused.

"No, That Would Be Ridiculous. My Lookout Is A Tree Fort. We Just Have To Climb Up With This Latter And Walk Across That Bridge." Branch Stated.

"Okay, Branch." Elizabeth Said.

***

Z And Branch Led Poppy, Barb and The Funk Family Up To The Tree Fort.

"I Can't Believe This Place Is Still Here." Z Said.

"We Should Probably Redecorate This Place The Next Time We Come Here." Branch Said.

"Wow, There's A Lot Of Old Stuff In Here." Prince D Said.

Poppy Noticed An Old Chest.

"Hey. What's In Here?" Poppy Asked.

"No! Don't!" Branch Exclaimed.

Barb Held Him Back While Poppy Opened The Chest To See Some Weaponry, Some Old Toys, And Some Pictures.

"There Just Some Pictures And Old Toys." Poppy Observed.

"Wait. Let Me See That." Z Said As She Looked Into The Chest.

Z Gasped And Said, "Lady Snowy."

"Is That A Arctic Fox?" Essence Asked.

"I Remember That. You Played With That Thing All Time." Branch Stated.

"She Was My First Toy I Had When I Was A Baby. I Used To Take This Thing Everywhere With Me. She Was Such A Good Listener." Z Said As She Carried The Stuffed Animal.

"Let's What Other Stuff That's In Here." Prince D Said.

"Wow. The Stuff In Here Is Awesome. How Come We've Never Seen It?" Quincy Asked.

Barb Held Out A Huge Spear And Looked At It In Awe.

"Woah. This Is A Spear! Gotta Throw It!" Barb Said.

She Tried To Throw It As Poppy And The Funk Family Ducked For Cover But Branch Grabbed It Before She Could.

"That's Why." Branch Said.

"You Guys Have A Spear? When You Two Were Little?" Essence Asked, Shocked.

"To Be Fair, That Belonged To My Dad." Branch Said.

"Well, That And We Were Worried That A Certain Someone Find Out About Them And Try To Get Rid Of Them Behind Our Backs." Z Stated.

"Poppy?" Prince D Guessed.

"Bingo." Z And Branch Said.

"That Doesn't Sound Like Me." Poppy Protested.

"Yes, It Does." Barb And Branch Said In Unsion.

"Yeah. During The World Tour, Before We Arrived At Symphonyville, You Found Out We Hid Our Weapons In A Basket And Kicked The Basket Of Weapons Over The Balloon." Z Stated.

"That's... True." Poppy Shrugged It Off.

Prince D Noticed A Dart Board In The Chest.

"Hey. Is This A Dart Board?" Prince D Asked.

"Serena And Thorn Let You Two Have Something Like This?! You Two Were Way Too Young For That." Quincy Said, Sternly.

"Not Unless You Were Using Water Balloons." Z Said.

"But Why Does It Have Creeks Face On It?" Poppy Asked.

"Because We Hate Him To The Core." Branch And Z Answered.

"You Two Must Really Hate Him, Don't You?" Essence Asked.

"So Much." Branch Said.

"For Life." Z Added.

"Besides, You Would Hate Him Too If You Knew What He Was Really Like. Cruel. Manipulative. Zero Loyalty." Branch Listed.

"Uh... Moving On. How Did This Tree Fort Help You Find Mother Forest?" Prince D Asked.

"We Heard Something Near The Tree Fort And Z Climbed Down To See What It Was." Branch Stated.

***

Branch And Elizabeth Was Sitting In The Tree Fort When They Heard Something.

"What Was That?" Branch Asked.

"I Don't Know. I'll Go Check." Elizabeth Said.

Elizabeth Climbed Down The Ladder And Walked Towards The Bush.

In The Bush, There Was A Light Blue Creature.

"Uh..." Elizabeth Said As She Steps Back, A Little Scared.

The Creature's Mouth Was Covered In Something That Looked Like Drool.

"Are You Gonna Eat Me?" Elizabeth Asked.

The Creature Walked Over To Z And Greeted, "Hi Kids!"

Elizabeth Screamed And Ran Off.

***

"You Ran Away From The Creature?" Prince D Asked.

"I Was 5 Years Old And It Was My First Time Seeing It. What Did You Expect Me To Do?" Z Asked.

"Good Point." Prince D Said.

"Were You Really That Scared?" Quincy Asked.

"More Like Terrified, But Yeah." Z Answered.

"I'm Starting To Remember Her Now." Branch Said.

"If You Guys Tell Me Mother Forest Features, This Book Should Determine What Creature You Saw." Poppy Stated As She Held Up A Book.

"Okay." Branch And Z Said.

"Alright, Just Tell Me What She Looks Like." Poppy Said.

"She Always Treated Us Like We Were Her Kids." Z Said.

"And She Was Light Blue Fur. She Had A Light Purple Streaks In Her Hair." Branch Added.

"That's Right. She Had Violet Eyes, Too!" Z Respnded.

"I Already Figured It Out!" Poppy Announced.

"Wow, That Was Quick!" Branch Stated.

"The Creature That Fits That Description Is..." Poppy Said.

"Wow!" Everyone Awed.

"I Haven't Said Anything Yet!" Poppy Scolded.

"You're Right. Sorry. Go Ahead." Essence Apologized.

"Yeah, We're Listening." Z Said.

"The Creature That Perfectly Fits Your Description Is A Pegasus!" Poppy Declared.

Poppy Showed Everyone The Picture.

"It's A Pegasus?" Prince D Asked, Excitedly.

"It's A Pegasus?" Barb Asked, Sarcastically.

Z And Branch Raised Their Eyebrows.

"Yeah, No." Branch Stated.

"Not Even Close." Z Said.

"But How? It Matches Your Description." Poppy Protested.

"But It's Still Not Right. Mother Forest Didn't Even Have Wings." Z And Branch Said Before Walking Ahead.

"I Will Get It Right Next Time For Sure!" Poppy Said.

"Yeah. Sure You Will, Popsqueak." Barb Said.

"What Happened Next?" Prince D Asked.

"Do You Remember What Happened Afterward?" Branch Asked.

"I Got Lost. In The Forest. I Was So Petrified After Meeting Mother Forest, That I Ran And Ran Until I Couldn't Run Anymore." Z Explained.

***

5 Year Old Elizabeth Was Looking At Her Surrounding.

"Where Am I?" Elizabeth Asked.

"Branch? Mommy?" Elizabeth Called Out.

Then, There Was A Rustle In The Bush. 

Elizabeth Screamed And Fell On The Ground.

What Came Out Of Bush Was A Cuddlepup.

The Cuddlepup Looked At Elizabeth, Who Flinched In Fear, And Then Ran Away.

"I Knew I Didn't Want To Leave Home. I Knew It." Elizabeth Said As Tears Form In Her Eyes. 

"Mommy!" Elizabeth Called Out.

Then, There Was Another Rustle In The Bush.

Elizabeth Looked At The Bush In Fear As She Starts Crying.

"Elizabeth?"

Then, Branch Came Out Of The Bushes.

"Branch?" Elizabeth Asked.

"Elizabeth, Are You Okay?" Branch Asked.

"Yeah. I'm Fine." Elizabeth Assured.

"Why Did You Run Off Like That?! You Could've Gotten Lost! What Were You Thinking?!" Branch Asked, Angrily.

"Why Do You Always Have To Be So Grumpy?! You Know, Ever Since I Met You I Thought You Weren't What Everyone Else Thinks About You! You're Even Worse Than Creek!" Elizabeth Stated.

"Oh, Please! No One's Meaner Than That Village Idiot!" Branch Said.

"Huh?" Elizabeth And Branch Said, Surprised.

"You Don't Like Creek, Too?" Branch Asked, Shocked.

"Of Course I Don't Like Him. He's The Meanest Kid In School. I Honestly Don't What Everyone Sees In Him." Elizabeth Replied.

Branch Scoffed And Said, "Me Too."

Then, There Was A Moment Of Silence.

"What... Were The Other Trolls... Saying About Me?" Branch Asked.

"That You're The Village Grouch. And That You Don't Like Happiness. Which I Can Relate Since I'm Not A Fan Of Loud Noises." Z Answered.

"They Really Think That?" Branch Asked, A Little Hurt.

"Yes, Except Maybe Poppy. But There's One Thing I Do Wanna Know." Z Stated.

"What's That?" Branch Asked.

"Why? Why Don't You Sing Like Everyone Else? Did Something Happened?" Z Asked.

"Something Did Happen. But, I Don't Want To Talk About It." Branch Stated.

"Look, If You Don't Want To Talk, Don't Talk. I'm Not Going To Force You." Z Said As She Starts To Walk Ahead. 

"I Don't Like Singing Because Singing Killed My Grandma." Branch Admitted.

Elizabeth Stopped Walking When She Heard That.

"Your Grandma Died Because Of Singing? How Can Singing Kill Your Grandma? What Song Was She Singing?" Elizabeth Asked.

"I Was The One Singing. That Day, I Was So Lost In The Song That... I Didn't Hear My Grandma Trying To Warn Me. I Haven't Sung A Note Since." Branch Stated.

"I'm Really Sorry, Branch. I Had No Idea. I Just Sorta Always Assumed You Have Stage Fright." Elizabeth Said.

"No, No. It Was Like An Angel's. At Least That's What Grandma Used To Say." Branch Said As Tears Fall From His Eyes.

Shira Then Spotted Two Oval Shaped Berry Rolling Towards Them.

Elizabeth Walked To The Berries And Picked It Up.

She Looked Both Ways To See If There Was Anyone Close To Them. Then She Saw A Trail Of Berries In Front Of Her.

She Walked To Branch The Two Berries In Her Paws.

"Look!" Elizabeth Said.

Branch Looked At The Berry.

"Do You Know What These Are? Maybe We Can Eat Them." Elizabeth Said.

"I Don't Know. I've Never Seen Them Before." Branch Said As He Grabs One Of The Berries.

Elizabeth Sniffed The Berry.

"It Smells Tasty. Okay!" Elizabeth Said.

Elizabeth Took A Bite Of Her Berry And Paused For A Minute.

"How Is It?" Branch Asked.

"These Berries Are Delicious! Here, Try Them!" Elizabeth Urged.

"Really?" Branch Asked As He Looks At The Berry.

Branch Took A Bite And Was Disgusted By The Taste.

"It's So Bitter! You Lied To Me!" Branch Exclaimed.

"Sorry. But I'm Glad I Did." Elizabeth Said.

"You Are? Why?" Branch Asked.

"You're Not Crying Anymore." Elizabeth Said.

Branch Gasped At That Statement As He Wiped His Left Eye.

"Hm. Wow, You're Right." Branch Stated.

Branch And Z Took Another Of Their Berries.

"It's Not As Bitter Now." Branch Said.

"Yeah. You're Right. It's Like It's Getting Sweeter." Z Said.

"Uh Huh. It's Bittersweet." Branch Said.

"Yeah, It Is." Elizabeth Agreed.

***

Elizabeth And Branch Started To Walk Through The Forest.

"Hey! I've Been Here Before!" Elizabeth Stated.

"Now We Can Get Home!" Branch Added.

"Yeah And It's All Thanks To Bittersweet!" Elizabeth Said.

"Bittersweet?" Branch Asked.

"I Figured We Should Call Them That Since We Don't Know The Name." Elizabeth Explained.

"Oh, Yeah. Clever." Branch Commented.

Branch Tripped On A Tree Root And Dropped The Berry.

The Berry Then Started To Roll Away.

Branch Ran After It.

"Wait Up, Bittersweet!" Branch Exclaimed.

Branch Still Chased After It When The Berry Rolled Into A Bush.

When Branch Went Through The Bush, He Ran Over A Cliff.

Branch Gasped When He Looked Down.

Then, Elizabeth Grabbed Branch's Hair With Her Right Paw As She Grabbed A Vine With Her Left Paw.

Out Of Nowhere, It Started To Rain.

"Was It Supposed To Rain Today?!" Elizabeth Asked.

"That's Impossible! It's Wasn't Supposed To Rain Today!" Branch Answered.

The Vine Then Broke Apart And The Two Trollings Started To Fall.

Then, The Light Blue Creature From Before Flew In And Let Elizabeth And Branch Land On Its Back.

Branch And Elizabeth Looked At The Creature That Saved Them.

"Hang On Tight!" The Creature Instructed.

Elizabeth, Branch And The Creature Flew In The Sky.

***

"You Really Rode On Her Back? Awesome!" Prince D Asked In Awe.

"Just In The Nick Of Time, Too." Branch Said.

"It Was Pretty Dangerous, Wasn't It?" Z Asked.

"Tell Me About It. I Mean, Seriously? What Is Up With You Two And Danger?" Essence Asked.

"Nobody Knows. Just Accept It." Branch And Z Stated.

"I Don't Know About That But Okay." Quincy Said.

"You're So Lucky To Ride On Its Back. The Creature You Two Rode Mother Forest!" Barb Said.

"Ha! I Finally Figured It Out!" Poppy Declared.

"It Better Not Be Another Lame Pony, Popsqueak." Barb Said.

"The Creature You Saw Is A Water Dragon!" Poppy Announced As She Showed Them The Picture.

"Water Dragons Are Friendly Creatures, Eat Dragon Berries, Fly By Running On The Raindrops And They Also Enjoy Playing With Children." Poppy Explained.

"That's Mother Forest!" Z Confirmed.

"Yeah, You're Right! You're Great, Poppifer!" Branch Commented.

"It Was Nothing!" Poppy Stated, Blushing.

"Now That We Know What It Is, Come On! Let's Go And Find The Water Dragon!" Barb Exclaimed.

"Right!" Z And Branch Shouted.

Everyone Started To Run.

***

Everyone Walked Through The Forest.

"So, How Do We Find A Water Dragon?" Quincy Asked.

"Since Water Dragons Like To Eat Dragon Berries, Lets Find A Place That Grows Dragon Berries." Poppy Suggested.

"I Think I Remember." Branch Stated.

"Huh?" Prince D Asked.

"The Place Where Me And Branch Played With Mother Forest." Branch Explained.

***

The Creature Landed At A Clearing With A Waterfall.

"There. You Kids Can Stay Here For A While." The Creature Said.

"Is This Place Your Home?" Branch Asked.

"Yeah. It's Not Much, But I Work With What I'm Given." The Creatured Stated.

"Do You Live Here By Yourself Your Whole Life?" Elizabeth Asked.

"Not Always. My 2 Brothers And 2 Sisters Come And Visit Me Whenever They Get The Chance." The Creatured Explained.

"You Have 2 Brothers And 2 Sisters? I Only Have One Big Brother, But He's A Bit Too Much Sometimes." Elizabeth Said.

"It's True. I've Seen It." Branch Confirmed.

"You Two Are Funny. What Are Your Names?" The Creature Asked.

"I'm Elizabeth And This Is Branch." Elizabeth Introduced.

"Those Are Nice Names. Not That I'm Complaining, But Elizabeth Sounds Too Formal,Don't You Think?" The Creature Asked.

"Yeah. And It Makes Feel Old." Elizabeth Stated.

"Why Call Yourself 'Z'? It's Shorter And It Sounds Cool For A Girl Your Age." The Creature Explained.

"I Like It." Z Nodded.

"What's Your Name?" Branch Asked.

"I'm Sisu." Sisu Greeted.

"Nice To Meet You, Sisu." Branch Said.

"You Guys, Too. Z, I Don't Mean To Be Rude, But Is That A Gem On Your Forehead?" Sisu Asked.

"Yeah. I Don't Why I Was Born With It. My Big Brother, Cooper Doesn't Have One." Z Stated.

"Did You Ask Serena Or King Peppy About It?" Branch Asked.

"I Asked Mommy But She Said She Doesn't Know. I Asked King Peppy, But He Said He'll Tell Me When I'm Old Enough To Understand." Z Explained.

"And He's Right. Don't Worry About It." Sisu Adviced.

"Okay." Z Nodded.

Then, Branch Saw Trees Full Of Berries.

"Hey, It's The Same Bittersweet Berries!" Branch Exclaimed.

"Same As The One That Came Rolling Towards Me Before." Z Added.

"Yeah. I Thought We Could Eat Some Together." Sisu Stated.

"Wait. Is That Why You Came To My Lookout?" Branch Asked.

"Yeah." Sisu Confirmed.

"If You Wanted Us To Eat With You, Why Didn't You Just Ask?" Z Asked.

"Well, I Guess Living In This Part Of The Forest Got Pretty Lonely. I Don't Really Have Any Friends To Hang Out With. Anyone That Comes To This Part Of The Forest Always Run Off Whenever They See Me. They Think I'm A Monster Just Because I'm Different." Sisu Explained.

"Or Maybe Because Everyone Thinks You're A Monster Because They Treats You That Way." Branch Suggested.

"We Don't Think You're A Monster." Z Assured.

"You Don't?" Sisu Asked.

Z And Branch Shook Their Heads, Saying That She Isn't A Monster.

"Thanks. And Sorry For Scaring You, Z. I Have Trouble Making Friends, But You Know What Happens When I Try." Sisu Explained.

"If You Wanted Some People To Play With, All You Have To Do Was Ask Us." Branch Said.

"Really? You Wouldn't Run Away If I Ask?" Sisu Asked.

"We Won't Now That We Know The Truth." Z Stated.

Sisu Started To Shed Happy Tears.

"Thank You, Guys. Thank You." Sisu Thanked As She Pulled Them Into A Hug.

"Wow. Your Fur's So Soft." Z Commented As She And Branch Layed On The Dragon's Head.

Sisu Then Jumped Into The Water With Z And Branch.

When They Went Up To The Surface, They Laughed.

***

After That, They Played, Ate, And Swam Together.

***

"So Much Water In The Waterhole. And All Bittersweet." Branch Stated.

"And Sisu's Home Was In A Waterfall In The Forest." Z Added.

"'Sisu'?" Prince D Asked.

"That Was Her Real Name. Mother Forest Was Just A Nickname We Liked Calling Her." Z Explained.

"Sisu's Home Got To Be There!" Barb Exclaimed.

"Yeah." Branch And Z Said.

Everyone Ran Up Ahead Deep Into The Forest.

***

The Trolls Arrived At A Watering Hole In Front Of A Cave.

"Does This Waterfall You Two Were Talking About Look Like That?" Poppy Asked As She Pointed Up Ahead.

"I Think So." Branch Said.

"Then This Is The Place?" Barb Asked.

"It Looks Kind Of Familiar." Z Said As She Looks Around.

"And Kind Of Not." Branch Added.

Prince D Squinted His Eyes As He Looked In The Water.

"Guys, I Think There's Something Behind The Water." Prince Said As He Points Towards The Water.

"Huh?" Branch Asked.

Then, A Light Blue Water Dragon Came Out Of The Water With A Loud Roar.

"It's Mother Forest!" Z And Branch Exclaimed.

"Wow! Sisu!" Barb Said.

Sisu Swam Towards The Trolls. Then, She Faced Towards Z And Branch.

"Mother Forest?" Branch Asked.

Branch And Z Stared At Sisu With Hope In Their Eyes.

Poppy, Barb, And The Funk Family Mumbled, Nervous.

"Branch? Lil Z?" Sisu Asked.

"Sisu!" Z And Branch Exclaimed.

The Two Trolls Ran To Sisu And Hugged Her.

"It's Been Way Too Long!" Z Stated.

"We Missed You So Much!" Branch Said.

Z Looked At The Other Trolls Who Were A Few Feet Away From Them.

"Well, Are You Gonna Introduce Yourselves Or What?" Z Asked.

"That's Sisu?" Prince D Asked.

"Yeah. That's Me." Sisu Said.

"It's Nice To Meet You, Sisu. I'm Poppy. Queen Of The Pop Trolls." Poppy Greeted.

"Queen Barb. Of The Hard Rock Trolls." Barb Said.

"I'm King Quincy Of The Funk Trolls. This Is My Wife, Queen Essence, And One Of Our Sons, Prince D." Quincy Introduced.

"Your Majesties." Sisu Bowed.

"Oh, You Don't Have To Bow." Essence Assured.

"Well, It's Nice To Meet You Guys." Sisu Said.

"You Too. Branch And Z Told Us So Much About You." Prince D Said.

Sisu Looked At Z And Then Essence.

"I Didn't Know You Have A Twin Sister, Z." Sisu Said.

Z And Essence Blushed In Embarrassment.

"No, No, No. You Got All Wrong." Essence Said.

"She's My Mom. My Birth Mom." Z Said, Blushing Mildly.

"Your Mom?" Sisu Asked.

"It's A Long Story." Branch, Poppy And Z Said.

"Sisu, Where Have You Been?" Branch Asked.

"We Looked Everywhere For You." Z Added.

"There Was A Family Emergency With One Of My Brothers." Sisu Answered.

"Brothers?" Poppy Asked.

"Sisu Has Two Brothers And Two Sisters." Branch Stated.

"Wow." Barb Said.

"Yeah. They Live Pretty Far." Sisu Said.

"So, You Live Here By Yourself?" Essence Asked.

"I Don't Live Here Alone. You Can Come Out It's Safe!" Sisu Called Out.

Then, A Little Water Dragon, Who Looked Like Sisu, Jumped Out Of The Water.

"Aww, Who's This Little One?" Poppy Asked.

"This Is Shira, My Daughter." Sisu Said.

"Hey." Shira Greeted, Shyly.

"She's Beautiful. She Looks Just Like Her Mother." Prince D Said.

"Thanks." Shira Said.

"So, It's Just You Two?" Branch Asked.

"Pretty Much. It Gets Pretty Lonely Here, But We Don't Have Anywhere Else To Go." Sisu Said.

Z And Branch Thought About This And Came Up With An Idea.

"Guys, Come Over Here." Z Said.

The Trolls Walked And Started Whispering To Each Other.

Sisu And Shira Looked At Them, Wondering What They Were Whispering About.

The Trolls Nodded In Agreement.

"Sisu, Shira, Why Don't Come Live With Us?" Quincy Asked.

"Really?" The Two Dragons Asked.

"Of Course. No One Should Be Living By Themselves." Poppy Asked.

"Thanks, That Means A Lot." Sisu Said.

"And We Can Catch Up. We'd Like To Have You Back In Our Lives." Branch Said.

"Alright. But, Won't The Other Trolls Run Away When They See Me?" Sisu Asked.

"We Can Fix That." Z Said.

"Are You Sure?" Sisu Asked.

"Of Course. It'd Be Cool To Have A Dragon Around." Barb Stated.

"Okay. Then, I Guess We're Coming To Live With You Guys." Sisu Said.

"Yeah. You Won't Regret This." Z And Branch Said.

"I Know I Won't." Sisu Said.
