						A Certain Surprise

A blatantly cheery sun rose over the town of Ponyville. A certain daring Pegasus was first to arise, and was not all too happy to find an angry pair of gray eyes in her face.
"WAH!" the tiny, furry creature was sent flying across the room with a wail. "What are you?!" Rainbow Dash stared.
Another one of those creatures with strange rabbit feet was laughing her head off. "nice tryyyyyyyy, krrkt~" she taunted. Her voice was strange, made up of clicks and small whines, but it was obvious what she was saying.
"HUSHIE!" the other, much smaller one complained. He bounced up to Rainbow's bed again, holding a letter. They had strange long tails with fluff on the very tips. 
Rainbow took the letter carefully, looking at the girl creature with suspicion. Opening the letter, she noticed Princess Luna's script immediately. She read aloud. "Now, I bet you're wondering why you have obtained these rabbit-like animals. In fact, they are aliens." Dashie looked back to the two, who were watching her eagerly. "Aliens, huh?"

"I have transported them to your care in hopes of learning more about the stars." Rarity read, glancing nervously to the lipstick-wearing animal in front of her. Another one, who looked much older than her, was playing with a bell on one of her work-in-progress dresses, honking occasionally. Yes, honking. "They are from a race called Alternian trolls and they shall be depending on you to survive."

~~~~ ~ ~~~

Fluttershy was petting one that was purring and curled up like a kitten. "They have been treated harshly when they were much younger, and they need someone to depend upon to learn how to grow up like most." She looked up to the unsure one who was trying to nudge around a lance. "Oh, you poor babies!" Fluttershy gasped, bringing them into a tight hug. The cat-like one was screeching and yowling. She did NOT want to be picked up.

~~~~ ~ ~~~

"Twilight, you have gained a yellowblood, Sollux Captor--" Twilight Sparkle looked up toward the two trolls who were conversing amiably while trying to climb the bookcases. "and the rustblood, Aradia Medigo."

~~~~ ~ ~~~

"Pinkie, you received the purpleblood Eridan Ampora and the tealblood Terezi Pyrope!" Pinkie exclaimed, looking at the two who were fighting over a tube of icing. "M1N3!" the bigger one complained, who appeared to be blind. "no, i saww it first!" the smaller one whimpered.

~~~~ ~ ~~~

"Ah got a fuchsiablood named Feferi Piexes and the blueblood Equius Zahhak.." Applejack said uncertainly, looking at how the larger of the two was so nervous and sweaty around the baby of the two. "Oh boy." she sighed.

~~~~ ~ ~~~

"A ceruleanblood named Vriska Serket and the mutantblood Karkat Vantas?" Rainbow Dash questioned, glancing at the two trolls. "Well, that blows!" Vriska stuck out her tongue. "8luh 8luh!" she squeaked.

~~~~ ~ ~~~

"Tavros Nitram..?" Fluttershy looked to the brown blood who nodded slightly. "And Nepeta Leijon?" the olive blood smiled. "uM, yUP," Tavros said nervously.

~~~~ ~ ~~~

"The jadeblood named Kanaya Maryam and the indigoblood named Gamzee Makara." Rarity looked up at the two. Kanaya was scolding the larger for messing up a dress. Rarity smiled slightly. She believed she would like the jade one.

~~~~ ~ ~~~

"In all hopes, Princess Luna." Twilight finished. They were all gathered at the library with their new trolls. "Well, this was undoubtedly a surprise. But if the Princess has given us a task, we must preform it to the best. Yes?" Rainbow Dash didn't look so estatic.
"What do they even eat?" she asked, staring at how their trolls stayed shyly by their new owner's sides.
Gamzee perked up by Rarity. "FaYgO?" he asked.
Fluttershy's ears dipped. "I um...I imagine if we asked them politely we could figure it out."
As if on cue, Nepeta's stomach growled. Kanaya cleared her small throat. "Ahem?" it was a question. Everyone looked to her. She was strangely proper for her age. "We Normally Eat 'Human' Food Such As Cluckbeast Eggs And Bacon And The Like, But Assessing This Current Time Set, That Would Be Considered Cannibalism" Rarity was shocked at her well stretched vocabulary.
"Bacon? Does she mean Hay Bacon? And what's a 'cluckbeast'?" Pinkie looked at Twilight, who was studying some books.
"Um...I think they eat chicken eggs...and pig meat..." Twilight shuddered. Gamzee honked happily.
The indigoblood continued, which they had determined was the eldest of the group, whilst Eridan was the youngest. "BuT We cAn eAt aNyThInG YoU GoT." he smiled lazily at them. Fluttershy shuddered. She wasn't sure if she liked Gamzee all that much.
Nepeta pawed at Fluttershy, whining. She was hungry, and didn't feel like waiting for this meeting to end. "Um...maybe just some cereal will be good for them right now. And oatmeal." Nepeta nodded happily. She crawled up her back and nuzzled into her mane.
"Maybe they like cake!" Pinkie smiled hopefully. Terezi was too busy sniffing and licking at her mane to really care about this conversation.
"Why don't we go home and figure this out troll by troll?" Rainbow Dash asked. Everypony nodded.

~~~~ ~ ~~~

Kanaya was watching carefully over Rarity's shoulder as she cooked. She watched her magic, impressed. "You Have Powers Like A Psionic Yet You Have Normal Eyes..." she murmured.
"A psionic?" Rarity asked politely. 
"A Member Of The Troll Community With Red And Blue Eyes That Have Amazing Powers, In Example Sollux"
"Oh, so I see. No, We Unicorns merely have mystical powers." Rarity smiled, setting out two bowls of oatmeal at the table.
Gamzee was already sitting and took his spoon, immediately beginning to eat. Kanaya leapt to her place, eating as well. "Maple Sugar" she asked after a few bites. Rarity nodded. "And...Mmmm..."
"Cinnamon." Kanaya brightened and ate faster. Literally, brightened. Rarity hadn't noticed it earlier, but she was glowing, if faintly.
Kanaya noticed her staring and fidgeted. "Uhm..." she looked back down at her bowl.
"You're glowing." Rarity spluttered.
"Yes, Not Meaning To Frighten You, But I Normally Drink Blood" she smiled.
Rarity backed away slowly, whimpering.
"No Worries, No Worries, Gamzee Here Has Agreed To Supply" Gamzee looked up and honked at the mention of his name.
Rarity stared at the two, frightened. What had the Princess sent her unknowingly?! The two trolls watched as she dropped to the ground in a faint before looking at each other.
"...ShE'Ll wAkE Up." Gamzee smiled and kept eating. Kanaya, after a hesitant moment, did as well.


((AN: I take requests on which troll's chapter I should do next, so just write me up on who I should do. More simply, you can send an emotocon of the pony in charge of each troll. The Chapter names often have hidden hints towards the Chapter, but not in just one way. I E, A Certain Surprise, they get their trolls and Rarity is scared of hers. <3 Lizzard))
