Watch out, girl you better watch out...

"Ah, one of ABBA's B-sides, and one of their better ones."

-ghost!Melody is watching the ad-

Ghost!Melody: Well I saaay. They are togetheeer nooow? But where's myy figure? I guess I will share one with melodyyy…

-Melody is currently eating in a restaurant browsing her phone-

Melody: Ooh, this is a great fanf- Wait what?! I take my words back.

Revenge blinks.

"I'd be mad, but I don't think they were able to get the licensing for my forms..."

MALE ANNOUNCER: "And from Tropey Records, it's Tropers Sing, featuring Taco Badger singing the Mighty Mouse Theme, Chey and Ford covering that 60's classic, I Got You Babe, Mister Duck with Disco Duck, and many more. Order your copy today, only online at tropeyrecords.com/tropers-sing.

"God, what's next? Tropers: The Series plushies?"
"Oh, Belgium, Why did we do that cover of I Got You, Babe?"
"Money, Dear Boy."
MALE ANNOUNCER: "Now from Tropey Toys, It's Tropers: The Series plush toys! Now you can cuddle and carry around your favorite Tropers anytime! Snuggle up with Tropes, Tales, Puma, Melody, Taco, Chey, and Ford."
(Cue a pan-over of the Tropers holding their respective plushies, Ford examining the Chey plushie, and Chey hugging and kissing the heck out of the Ford plushie and gushing over how cute it is.)
MALE ANNOUNCER: "Tropers: The Series plushies from Tropey Toys, each sold separately."

Taco is looking at his own plushie. “Good god, we’re sell-outs.”

(Chey is still messing with the Ford plushie.)
"Awww, aren't you a cute little doll? You have such a cute little nose and your hair's all fluffy, Eeeeee!"
(Ford clears his throat.)

"At least my plushie looks like me. So, shall we continue lamenting what sellouts we have become, or shall we work out a plan. I have several ideas, if anyone cares to listen to the Ducktor."

"Oh, right, we have a plot to get to."
"Chey..."
"Oh smeg! Sorry, Ford."
(Chey puts the Ford plushie in her bag, goes over to Ford, and starts hugging him.)
"Awww, aren't you a cute little doll? You have such a cute little nose and your hair's all fluffy, Eeeeee!"

"Now, if I was an ABBA album, where would I be?"

"Oops, I meant 'Noo, iff I ves un EBBA elboom, vhere-a vuoold I be-a?'"

Taco groans. “Get a room.”

Taco then commences slapping a random Swede with a herring.

"I would advise against doing that accent in front of an actual Swede, they don't seem to have much of a sense of humor about it. Also, slap one more person with a herring, and you will discover what it's like to be goosed by a duck. Now before this becomes an extended episode, can we get down to business? Today?"

"Why not check in record stores?"
"Hm, that's a good place to start."

"Ford, you're a genius! I'm gonna Smash Cut to a record store. Anyone wanna come with me?"

"There's also the ABBA museum, but I imagine there would be a problem getting around the security. And there's Polar studios, where they recorded most of their albums, they might have a copy there. And we might want to check with collectors, people old enough to have bought the album when it was originally released... sorry, did you have any other ideas? Mister Duck should have mentioned that some of his personalities tend to take over situations."

“It’s probably gonna be in the museum over just any record store. And either way, I still don’t think we should just take this! This is something with actual significance to people, after all!”

"I don't understand it either, but I will do it with everyone else if it means advancing the plot. FOR THE PLOTLINE!"

"...Yeah Tropes, I'll come!"

"Alright then, let's split up and search every record store in town! We'll meet up in ABBA: The Museum afterwards. Come along, Ford."
(And so, The gang split up. Cue incidental music)

Cut to Tropes, Puma and whoever else wanted to come along in a store called "Sven's Records & Antiques: Your number-one stop for plot convenience since 1973!".

"All right. Now, what does this album look like?"

(Tropes goes over to where all the ABBA records are. There were a lot of copies of The Visitors, Waterloo, Voulez-Vous, with fairly decent amounts of the band-name album, ABBA: The Album, Arrival, and Super Trouper as well. Beside the display of ABBA records is a cardboard stand proudly advertising "ABBA GOLD CDs! TEN KRONOR!" Tropes then goes through the albums and finds a album with two happy couples smiling on the cover.◊)

“It looks like a spoon!” MALE: Buy Tropes Spoons!

"So this is the one we're looking for?" Puma says offscreen.

This song starts playing... but then the camera pans over to reveal that Puma is actually playing it on a keyboard.

“I need a break!” “Well, you can relax on these chairs!”

(Tropes then pulls the record out of it's sleeve. Unbeknownst to our heroes, it's just a reissue.)
