Chapter 1: Fake colors
(Y/n)'s POV
20 years ago... (You and Clover are 4 in this.)
Me and my sister were running through the tunnels with all the other trolls as the Bergens tried to get us. I was scared but I kept moving until I tripped on a rock and landed on my right wing.
"(Y/N)!" Clover flew over to me.
As I tried to get up, my left ankle was sprained. So I thought I could fly but my right wing was broken.
"Ow!"
"(Y/n), get up!" Clover said trying to pull me up.
"I can't!" I replied. "You need to leave!"
"What?! No way! I'm not leaving you!"
"But you'll get eaten if you stay with me!"
"I'd rather do that than leave you behind!"
Suddenly we were both picked up by King Peppy along with many others as he shouted, "No troll left behind!"
He carried us, until his underwear was caught by a pick axe. He threw us as we all rolled through the tunnels and ended up with the rest of the trolls.
One trolled went up to the tunnel.
"Where is he?" One troll asked
"I don't think King Peppy made it." The one by the tunnel spoke.
Everyone looked worried before hearing a voice cut in.
"When I say 'No troll left behind'...I mean 'No troll left behind!'" King Peppy shouted coming out of the hole completely naked and everyone cheered.
"King Peppy, where's Princess Poppy?" A young troll asked.
"Don't worry, she's safe."
He pulls her out of his hair as she says, "No troll left behind!"
Everyone awes at her. We decide to go further away from Bergen town, and find a new home. We manage to settle down on a new spot where we build new homes, shops, restaurants,etc. I get a cast for my wing and a ankle brace.
"I'm so glad that we got a new home." Clover said talking to her friends as they party with everyone.
"I know right? It's gonna be great here!" Aliki said jumping up and down.
"Yeah! Hey, where's (Y/n)?" Jenell finally asked.
They noticed me sitting by myself behind the bushes. And they come over to me.
"Hey (Y/n), are you okay?" Clover finally asked, as she and her friends noticed unfamiliar colors on me.
I look at them and give them a convincing, yet fake smile, saying, "Y-yeah, I'm fine, though my ankle and wing kinda h-hurt."
"Are you sure?" Aliki asked.
"I'm positive."
"Okay...whatever you say!" Janell says.
We join everyone else at the party, however Clover didn't think I was fine. No... She knew I wasn't fine, but rolled with it.
20 years later...
It's been a long time since we moved to our new home, and everyone was happy, well except for me, but I'm not telling anyone that. I'm able to fake my colors so no one would suspect anything.
Normally while my skin is (f/c), my hair (f2/c) and (f3/c), my eyes are mixture of (f/c) and (e/c), and my wings are (f3/c), my skin is orange, my hair is green, my eyes are purple, and my wings are light pink. (You may change the color scheme if you like.)
Everyone believed these were my real colors...well except Clover and her friends... Clover already knew, but Aliki and Janell found out when they saw me change to my fake colors from gray. Thankful, they weren't planning on telling anyone.
Anyway, let's go to our current timeline.
I was sitting in a tree wearing a navy blue hoodie dress, black beanie and drawing pictures, while Poppy and everyone was singing. I saw her with the snack pack, along with my sister and her friends.
I fly down (after making sure I was in my fake colors), and see them talking to Branch, who also wasn't as happy as others and doesn't seem very amused with their singing. I take off my hood as Branch says that thier loud singing and dancing might attract a bergen, and the others bring up how Branch always ruin everything, warning us about the bergens.
I recall him ruining someone's birthday, their wedding, and their loved one's funeral.
I see Poppy give Branch an invitation which shoots glitter on his face, and he takes it and crushes it. Then I see Creek come in as the bug sets him down. They speak a little to each other until everyone watches go off and my (f/c) choker goes off. Everyone then group hugs Branch, until he eventually squeezed his way out.
After a few moments, he leaves, but not before looking over at me. We've met a few times before, but we never really talked much. Sometimes I would try to start some conversations with him, but others say I shouldn't or else I'll end up like him.
Everyone talks for a moment until Janell notices me, and runs over.
"Hey, (Y/n)!"
Before I could react, she grabs me pulls me over to the group. As we stop in front of them, she let's go of my hand, and I back up a couple steps quietly saying, "H-hi."
"Oh hey (Y/n)!" Poppy greeted me. "Are you coming to our celebration party tonight?"
"Um..." I tried to speak. I was never good with talking to people... Or socializing for that matter. "I-I'm not sure..."
"Oh come on! You gotta go!" DJ Suki said holding my arm. "This is the greatest party of the century! Nobody should missed this!"
"Yeah, besides you're hardly ever at parties." Biggie pointed out.
'Oh boy...'
"Yeah, and like you barely even show up for hug time." Satin said.
"Or singing for that matter." Chenille said.
"Not to mention dancing." Smidge added.
"I, uh..."
"You're not becoming a Branch, are you?" Cooper asked.
"Uh...."
"Of course she's not." Creek said standing beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Sweet, little (Y/n) here is more on the shy side. Poor darling just needs a little encouragement that's all. And who knows? Maybe this party is just what she needs."
Everyone agrees as Clover and her friends walk over to me.
"Yeah, and we'll make sure she's extra prepared for it." She says, hugging me.
"Yeah, there's no way she'll miss this party!" Aliki says.
"Great! We'll see you all tonight!" Poppy said as she and the others walked away.
"I can't wait. I'll see you tonight, sweetums." Creek said pinching my cheek, then left.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say his real name is Creep." Aliki whispered.
"Right?" Janell snickers. "And hey, doesn't he like Poppy?"
"No." Clover says. "Poppy says they're just friends, and she says he seems more interested in (Y/n)."
I shudder at the thought. I never really liked Creek that much, not even enough as a friend. Later I walked back home with Janell, Aliki, and Clover as we talk about the party.
"I don't really have to go, do I?" I finally ask.
Clover sighs, "(Y/n), they're expecting you to be there."
"Yeah, you can't back out now." Janell says.
"Besides, we don't want them thinking you're a Branch."
"I prefer to be called party pooper." I stated bluntly.
"Huh?"
"I know he messes up parties and all, but does everyone really need to use him as an example? In my honest opinion, it's not fair for him."
They don't say anything, they just look at each other.
"Let's go and get ready." Clover speaks.
Branch's POV
As I leave I noticed (Y/n) standing near the trees by herself. I've met her a few times before, but we never really talked much, but we have some conversations. However seeing that the others are here I decided not to pay her much mind, I head back to my bunker. But before leaving completely I hear Janell speaking.
"Hey, (Y/n)!"
I look in bushes to see her pull (Y/n) to the others. I don't know why, but something was always telling me that she was different from the rest. She didn't seem outgoing or perky like everyone else. No... She seemed introverted and quiet... And she enjoyed talking to me...unlike everyone else.
"Oh hey (Y/n)!" Poppy greeted her. "Are you coming to our celebration party tonight?"
"Um..." she quietly spoke. "I-I'm not sure..."
"Oh come on! You gotta go!" DJ Suki said holding her arm. "This is the greatest party of the century! Nobody should missed this!"
"Yeah, besides you're hardly ever at parties." Biggie said
"Yeah, and like you barely even show up for hug time." Satin said.
"Or singing for that matter." Chenille said.
"Not to mention dancing." Smidge added.
"I, uh..."
She hardly sings, dance, or give hugs? But she has her colors, doesn't she? Although, something seems off with them.
"You're not becoming a Branch, are you?" Cooper asked.
I boiled up with anger, as he said that.
"Uh..."
"Of course she's not." Creek said standing beside (Y/n), placing a hand on her shoulder. "Sweet, little (Y/n) here is more on the shy side. Poor thing just needs a little more encouragement that's all. And who knows? Maybe this party is just what she needs."
I roll my eyes and scoff at his suggestion. I don't know why, but I hate how close he is to her.
Everyone agrees with him as Clover and her friends walk over to her.
"Yeah, and we'll make sure she's extra prepared for it." She says, hugging her.
"Yeah, there's no way she'll miss this party!" Aliki says.
"Great! We'll see you all tonight!" Poppy said as she and the others walked away.
"I can't wait. I'll see you tonight sweetums." Creek said pinching her cheek, then left.
I can't help but get more angry at him for that.
"If I didn't know better I'd say his real name is Creep." Aliki whispered.
I silently laughed.
"Right?" Janell snickers. "And hey doesn't he like Poppy?"
"No." Clover says. "Poppy says they're just friends, and she says he seems more interested in (Y/n)."
I growl as I see (Y/n) shudder. Maybe she doesn't like Creek all that much either. But it seems she doesn't want to go this party... Are they forcing her to go?
