Before the end of the day, Barb sent Aggie all by herself to Symphonyville with her motorbug. Aggie held on to Barb tightly, and won't let go because she's afraid to fall.
"Here we are, Agz!" Barb turned her head to her passenger, "We're here!"
They made it to Symphonyville as it was dilled with flying Classical trolls, carrying their instruments around, and clouds all over their houses and mountains
"Wow!" Aggie hopped off the motorbug, "Is this… Symphonyville?"
"Yep! Where the Classical Trolls live. Well, I better head back to Volcano Rock City. I believe you can take care of yourself when you meet up with Trollzart and the other Classical Trolls," Barb then drove her motorbug back in the air, "See ya, girl, and good luck getting your True Colors!"
"Thanks, Barb!" Aggie waved at the Queen of Rock goodbye until she was out of sight. Aggie then turned back to gaxe on Symphonyville, "Okay, here we go," She exhaled as she causally walked in.
Aggie wandered around the ground as she doesn't know where to start. She can't even greet the Classical Trolls because they're still flying in the air, and she doesn't want to disturb them.
That was until Trollzart flew over when he noticed Aggie, smiling sweetly, "Ah, Aggie, welcome, welcome to Symphonyville!"
Aggie shook Trollzart's little hand, "Thanks, Trollzart. Wow, I can't believe Symphonyville would be so beautiful!"
"Oh, you could see more of our wonderful home if you can stay and rest with your spare time. I know you've been really tired after a long journey. Please, enjoy our hospitability," said Trollzart.
Aggie bowed courteously with respect, "I'll be honored to accept your offer," When she followed Trollzart, she realized she's the only troll around who doesn't fly, and she felt guilty for Trollzart to fly lower just for her, "Wow, I wish I can fly like you guys."
"I was expecting you to say that," With a wave of his hand, Trollzart signaled a cue as 3 Classical Trolls flew down, holding a swing down to Aggie.
"Whoa, what is this?" The gray troll asked.
"We made a swing for you to sit, and few of my trolls will help you fly," the conductor replied.
"What?!" Aggie gasped surprisingly, "I appreciate your kindness, Trollzart, but this is too much… and embarrassing,"
"I didn't see it too much or embarrassing, and we would love to help a fellow troll to fly. So, don't hesitate, and make yourself comfortable. Just think that you're actually flying."
"Oh, um, okay."
Aggie still hesitated a little, but she found herself sitting on the swing. When Trollzart flew higher, the three Classical trolls lifted Aggie up, following their leader. Aggie was a little scared at first as she held on tightly on the chains, but she saw the whole view of Symphonyville from up here. She never thought Symphonyville would be so beautiful above the ground or higher. She suddenly lost her fear of heights, and instead of looking down, she looked ahead, where she can see the homes of Classical Trolls, and their doors and windows shaped like instruments,
"Wooooooowwwww! LOOK AT ME! I'M FLYING!" She shouted so loud happily, "THIS IS AMAZING!"
Trollzart turned his head to glance at Aggie, and chuckled, seeing how happy his visitor is when she was flying, sort of, "Would you like to see where we practice our play?"
"Do I? I wanna see! I wanna see!" Aggie screamed happily.
They made it to one of the hills, where the Classical Trolls practiced playing their instruments. Three of the Classical trolls dropped the swing on the ground, and flew away.
"Thanks for the lift!" Aggie told them before following Trollzart, entering the hill.
Inside, Trollzart and Aggie traveled through the hallway, which Aggie just jumped around with her footsteps echoed, "Wow, this place is so clean and calm."
"Yes, yes. Classical music described the personality of a person, place or a thing… just like my tribe and my home," Trollzart explained.
"I gotta say, you and your home really reflect your music."
Just then, they stopped near giant red doors as Trollzart pushed the doors open, revealing a theater room, where the Classical Troll often practiced, but this room is empty.
"We already played music all day. We deserved some rest, so I let them have fun for the rest of the day," the conductor explained.
Aggie then noticed a familiar instrument on the stage, "Hey, that's a lyre! One of the string instruments!" She rushed into the room, and headed to towards the stage.
"Yes, yes, that is correct. How did you know about that?" Trollzart asked, following the gray troll inside.
"My mom plays lyre. It's her favorite instrument. She plays the lyre before I went to sleep," She touched the lure as it reminded her of her mother.
Trollzart smiled, "I can imagine your mother is amazing of playing the lyre for you."
"Ooh, a piano. A Grand Piano! My favorite instrument," Aggie sat on the piano chair, and touched the keys without tapping them, "I played piano whenever my mom played the lyre."
"Can you… play a piano piece for me?"
"Well…, I knew just one, but…"
Aggie was a little shy to play the piano, especially to leader of the Classical Trolls., but she has to stay calm, making sure her hands weren't shaky or sweaty, taking a deep breath and exhaled. She started playing the piano with the song Fur Elise.
While she was playing, she looked at Trollzart, who was still watching and listening to her music. Aggie can feel her heart beating nervously. She was afraid she might press the wrong key, but she has to keep her eyes open on her hands and the keys so she won't make a mistake.
After the song, Aggie can feel her forehead sweating, so she wiped them away with a small towel. She then hear claps from the conductor himself.
"Ah, Fur Elise, one of my favorite music piece. It's so beautiful!" Trollzart exclaimed.
Aggie blushed a little, "Thanks. Even though I played this many times, that's still not going to help me get my True Colors."
"I'm sure we'll figure it out tomorrow. But today, you need to rest. I already reserved a room for you at my place."
"Wait, what?!"
Trollzart has been lifting Aggie on the swing without asking help from the other Classical Trolls. It wasn't so far where Trollzart lived. When they made it, he slowly put Aggie down.
"For a Classical Troll, you really are strong," Aggie said.
"Maybe because you're so light," Trollzart chuckled, "Come on in."
Inside Trollzart's home, the place was like a mansion with lots of stairs and wide hallways, "So this is where you live?"
"Yes. My children and grandchildren have their own rooms to stay," said Trollzart.
Aggie then screamed in surprise, "What?! You have a family of your own?!"
"Yes. Do you think I live alone at this age?" Trollzart laughed at Aggie's reaction.
"Now that you think of it, I was a little embarrassed to question your age. I can see you're a bit older."
"But I'm young at heart. You're never too old to be a youngster."
"That's true."
"Just follow me to your room."
Trollzart guided the gray troll up on the stairs.
It only took few minutes to reach the floor where Trollzart left the stairs. Aggie panted heavily, and it's like took her forever to catch up with the conductor.
"Wow! I can't believe there's a lot of stairs in here. At least this gave me moderation to exercise. Hehe," Aggie tried to stay positive, but she fell on the floor to rest. She then got up when Trollzart continued to lead her to her room down the hallway.
When they reached the room, Trollzart opened the door, and show the visitor her room, "This is where you're going to stay for the night."
"Oh!" Aggie gasped as she saw her room was like the sky. The walls are so blue, and her bed, rug and a chair was made of thick clouds. The furniture is still made of wood, where she can keep her bag. She threw herself on the bed, and felt the bed was so soft, "Wow! It's so pretty!"
"My tribe and I designed this room for you," Trollzart beamed.
"Oh Trollzart, this is so beautiful, but you don't have to do this for me." Aggie was a little embarrased that the leader of the Classical Trolls made the room special for her.
"We like to show Symphonyville hospitability. Do you want something for dinner?"
"No thanks. I want to sleep a little early today. The bed is so comfy."
"Okay. Make yourself at home and enjoy the night,"
"Thank you very much, Trollzart."
"You're very welcome, my dear. I also need some rest for another big play tomorrow. Goodnight, little one." Trollzart patted Aggie's hair before flying back to the stairs.
"Goodnight," Aggie waved before closing the door.
Living in Symphonyville was like heave to her. Maybe because of the clouds, and the mkuntains were so high, they reach the sky. Aggie put her bag down, and sat on the bed. She doesn't know what to do know since she's not hungry for dinner. She wanted to do something before going to bed.
Then, she had an idea.
She took out a piece of paper and a pencil from her bag, and wrote something when she placed them kn the drawer, near the reading lamp.
The next morning, Aggie slept soundly on her cloudy bed. Suddenly, a light-brown smoke appeared in her bedroom, and touched her face. Even in sleep, she can smell any scent. Her nose twitched when the smoke flowed into her nostrils. What is that wonderful smell?
The smell made Aggie flew off the bed, even though she's still asleep and she can't fly. She floated all over the house, following that smell, from her bedroom, down the stairs, and found herself in the kitchen, where the smell came from.
When Aggie landed on her feet, she opened her eyes, and noticed Trollzart making breakfast.
"What the-? Trollzart, is that you?"
Trollzart squeaked when his guest was behind him as he turned around, and chuckled, "Oh, Aggie, you're awake! Good morning! You're very surprised!"
"Surprised that you know how to make food," Aggie giggled. When Trollzart carried a tray of cookies and two glasses of milk, she quickly rushed to him, and carried the tray for him, "Here, let me help you with that,"
"Thank you, Aggie. You're such a sweet girl," Trollzart smiled appreciatively. He was happy there was a young troll who help him.
When the two headed to the Dining room, and Aggie placed the tray in the table, she counted 15 cookies, "No wonder it smells so good. I love cookies!"
"My grandtrolls love cookies, so I also think you love cookies as well…, and I was right!" Trollzart slightly pinched Aggie's cheek, noticing how cute she was.
She can't help but took one cookie already, dunked it in a glass of milk, and took a bite. Her eyes widened when she tasted the cookie. It was delicious, "Mm! This is so good!"
"Thank you. It was my grandmother's secret recipe. It was passed down through generations. And after breakfast, I'll show you how I conduct my tribe to play beautiful music."
Aggie nodded in agreement at Trollzart, "I can't wait for it, Trollzart."
"Please, just call me Papa. You know, short for Grandpa."
"Aww, but I don't see you so old for a grandpa,"
"But I'm already am. And I don't mind at all. I saw how sweet and talented troll you are, it's like you're already a Classical Troll, just like your mother."
"Thanks…, Papa."
Later after breakfast, Trollzart and Aggie went outside as three Classical Trolls carried Aggie with her swing. The other Classical Trolls flew out of their houses with their musical instruments, readying for the concert. Since there's only one audience, Trollzart wanted Aggie to stay beside him while she watch and listen.
"Alright, Aggie, are you ready?" Trollzart asked.
"I-I just hope I won't fall from here while l-l-listening," Aggie stammered as she looked down. She was so far away off the ground.
"Don't worry. My trolls will catch you if you fall," Trollzart calmed the Magic Musical troll down before Aggie nodded. She trusted him that the Classical Trolls will catch her if something happened to her.
Trollzart felt pity since he first met Aggie. She was so gray and desperate, she really wants her True Colors without choosing her music in life. He was so confident for the song she chose for her to get her True Colors. He pulled out his conductor's baton, and gave it a few flicks of his wrist. The orchestra now fully attentive to him. Perfect. And so he began, guiding them to play the Die Fledermaus.
Once the music began, Aggie let her eyes slide shut and allowed herself to be carried by the music.. Despite the lack of lyrics, she found that Classical music is very comfy, like sleeping on a soft cloudy bed. Classical music really reminded her of her mother.
While she was listening, Aggie can't help but watching Trollzart conduct. He really knew how to conduct so well, his tribe played the music so smooth, sweetly, and perfect. She wish she can conduct like Trollzart. It doesn't hurt if she can copy Trollzart's moves of conducting. Even without a baton, she can conduct with her bare hands.
Trollzart was a little surprise when he peeked at Aggie beside him, copying his conduct. He didn't find this insulting or a mockery at all. It was cute for Trollzart to see someone idolizing him for his conduct. He let Aggie copy him as he stayed focus of guiding his orchestra.
Just few minutes when the song ended, Trollzart turned to Aggie and bowed.
"Bravo! Bravo! Yay! That was so beautiful!" She cheered and applauded loudly, almost brought herself into tears.
"Thank you, thank you," Trollzart chuckled, then turned to his musicians, "She loves our music, everyone!" That's good to hear for the rest of the Classical Trolls as they chanted appreciatively. Then, Trollzart saw the looks on Aggie's face. He can read that something's in her mind that she can't confess. He hovered in front of Aggie, and guessed, "Do you have any request, my dear? I believe I can conduct whatever your request."
Aggie was a little shocked as she thought Trollzart read her mind that she wanted a little request. She was a little shy to confess, so she took out a piece of paper, and showed it to him. It's a music piece that she wrote last night, "Well…, I wrote this piece myself,"
"Hmm…," When Trollzart read the music piece, he realized this piece was a bit more easy to conduct and play as he beamed st the Magic Musical Troll, "I think this is very simple. Don't worry, Aggie, I can play this music piece for you."
Trollzart studied the music piece for a second before turning back to his musicians. He flicked his baton one more time, and began to conduct.
Once the music played, Aggie could feel the emotions inside of her when her song played by the Classical Trolls. Since she made the music piece overnight on her own, she can't help but sing. Classical Music was supposed to be lacking of lyrics, but Aggie can't help herself. She loves to sing… in any genre.
Aggie: There's music in the treetops
And there's music in the vale
And all around the music fills the sky
There's music by the river
And there's music in the grass
And the music makes your heart soar in reply
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
Ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-aahh, Ah-ah-ah
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh
Ah-ah-ah, Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-aahh-aahh-aaaaaaahhhhh
After the song ended, Aggie could here applause and cheers from the sky. She looked around, and many of the Classical Trolls cheered for her. Even Trollzart was impressed. They all thought Aggie has such wonderful voice, and talented for making her own music piece.
"Beautiful, beautiful!" The conductor laughed impressively.
Aggie blushed at the moment as she bowed courteously.
When the Classical Trolls lowered Aggie with the swing back on the ground, Trollzart flew down and fluttered around Aggie to see if there's sudden changes of her appearance, "Well?"
Aggie looked around of herself to see if her True Colors appeared, but… there's no colors or changes of her appearance. There are no wings sprouted on her back. She shook her head down sadly as she thought she would be Classical like her mother, but it's not, "I thought Classical was my music, but… I'm so sorry, Papa. I let you down."
But Trollzart smiled calmly as he lifted Aggie's chin up, "You didn't let me down. Aggie, it's okay. Classical may not be your music, but you sing so beautifully. You even played the piano beautifully, and you conducted with me."
"Heh, I was just copying you."
"But you like it, don't you?" Seeing Aggie nodded, Trollzart made an announcement around his tribe, "My friends, Aggie here is such a sweet and talented little troll! She's not our guest anymore…, she's one of us now. And my newest granddaughter!"
The Classical Trolls chattered and exclaimed surprisingly as they flew closer to Aggie with welcome arms. Aggie blushed a lot when the flying trolls welcomed her into the family already. She was so happy that despite she doesn't have her True Colors yet and Classical isn't her music, the Classical Trolls are still nice and pleased her to be part of their tribe.
So, this is Classical.
I've been researching for Classical songs, and I remembered an episode when Tom and Jerry were both conductors, which they fought over it. That Tom and Jerry episode made me think of using Die Fledermaus. A friend told me that the song "Music In The Treetops" by Fluttershy from My Little Pony is a Classical Song, despite of having lyrics, so this song is considered as Classical.
The Classical Trolls lifted Aggie with a swing is a reference I got from Spookiz The Movie where Hana the human built a swing for her so Cula the vampire carried the swing with her sitting while flying.
I hope you like this chapter. It's a sweet chapter.
