Branch: Poppy, will you marry me?

Poppy: Uh, yes! What took you so long?!

Everyone: Yeah! Woohoo!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bridesmaids Barb, Viva, and Smidge were helping Poppy get ready for her big day when Holly asked a daring question.

Viva: So Poppy? Do you think you and Branch will have kids?

Poppy: I hope so... but that'll be a long way away.

Smidge: Even if you don't have kids, 3 of his other brothers don't have kids.

As Barb is brushing Poppy's hair...

Poppy: Oh, you mean John Dory, Clay, and Floyd?

*OW!* (Barb brushed too hard)

Barb: Oh! Sorry, popsqueak! I just have to go check if there's water for your um um hair? Okay, bye!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Barb is yelling at Poppy...

Barb: It was the best idea at the time! He never has to know!

Poppy: He's the father!

Barb: *starts to tear up* I haven't seen or talked to her since she hatched! I don't even know what she looks like now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Barb walks with Floyd to Bergen Town.

Barb: Hey, Floyd, Heh, my man. Um, I have to tell you something.

Floyd: Sure, what's up?

His gentle eyes look into hers, making her guilt rise even more.

Barb: Ugh! I thought this conversation would be easy! It was with Poppy!

Floyd: Hey, it's alright, breathe.

Barb: *slowly inhales, then exhales* Okay. The truth is you and I- We, um-, you're a-

???Hello, Mother. Hello Father.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Branch: So you're their kid? Yeah, I see it.

Poppy: What's your name?

???: *sigh* I-I don't necessarily have one.

Branch: What do you mean?

???: It's not important. I'm not important. Just another troll. Or as my master calls me... A worthless, pitiful, and disappointing trolling.

Poppy: Well, that won't do! We need a name for you! Branch, ideas?

Branch: Hmm, ooh! I got it! You're half pop and rock right, so I was thinking... *jazz hands* Ash!

Ash: Hmm, it's something... I-I I like it. Thank you, Queen Poppy and King Branch.

Poppy: Uh-Uh, we're family now. Aunt Poppy and Uncle Branch. *winks at Ash*

Ash smiles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

???: *In the shadows* I see heard you got a new name. They don't really care about you, you know...

Ash: I won't help you anymore! You're the one who betrayed them, not me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poppy, Branch, Ash, Barb, and Floyd sing out a harmonious tune to defeat their old enemy.

Floyd and Barb held out their arms as they cradled their daughter for the first time.
