Chapter 6: Helping with the date and private conversations

Narrator's POV

As everyone help Bridget get ready for her date, they used their hair (except Branch of course) to make give her a rainbow hairstyle. (Y/n) used her hair too, but didn't sing along.

You gotta let it show

Bridget gasped excitedly at her new hairstyle. She then put on a pink jumpsuit, white heels a bit of make-up, and carried a small purse. Everyone sang except for Branch and (Y/n) who just sat down on Bridget's head. Without knowing, they both scooted next to each other.

I'm comin' Yay!
I'm comin'
Alright
Out
I'm comin'
Out
I'm comin'

Yo! I'm coming out like the sun after rain
Ready to shine
No time to be playin'
Feelin' good
Gonna get get what I, what I want
Gonna show every-everybody
How I, how I flaunt
Look at me now, my confidence is soaring
Dudes be impressed with the points I'm scoring like

That ain't boring

And it just don't quit
Watch the king drop his jaw
When I'm shaking my hips
I'm saying

She's coming out
She's comin'
its time to take a stand Hey!
And show the world
that I'm comin' out
She's comin' out

Bridget than saw the king in the bib store.

"No, no, no! It's all wrong!" King Gristle shouted. "I'm the king who's bringing back Trollstice. I need a bib to match."

"Yes sire." The store owner Bibbly said.

"I look like a child in this one."

He threw the bib in the owner's face.

"Oh, sire!"

"I need something elegant, sophisticated. You know, a man's bib"

Bridget just look longingly at the king, saying, "Oh, he's so beautiful."

"And so are you." Poppy said.

"Oh, he'll know that I'm just a scullery maid."

"No, no, no!"

"I got to get out of here!"

"We'll be right here for you, Bridget. We all will."

"You'll tell me what to say, right?"

"Of course I will."

"Of course I wll~."

"Just wait til we get inside"

Bridget then made her way inside, as Bibbly found a better bib.

"Ooh, Sire!" He spoke. "I believe I have the perfect bib!"

"It better be!" King Gristle exclaimed. "Trollstice is tomorrow night. I mean I look good, but I have to look great."

"Right!"

He found a box and opened to reveal a yellow bib with a duck on it. Kit Gristle gasped. "It's got a wing dingle on it!"

"Oh, your majesty! Look at you! Such a big, big boy!"

"I love it."

The guards clapped.

"I think you look fat." Bridget said causing everyone to stop.

"What?" Gristle asked angrily.

They turned around to her.

"P-H, phat." Poppy said.

"Than strike a pose" Clover said.

"P-H phat." Bridget then strike a flirtatious pose.

Gristle then look shocked.

"Hot lunch! Total honesty from total babe." he complimented, as Bridget chuckled nervously. "And who might you be?"

Bridget then started stammering.

"G-guys, she needs a name...!" (Y/n) whisper yelled.

"Your name is...um..." Poppy tried to think of a name.

"Lady!" Biggie started.

"Glitter?" Guy Diamond asked.

"Sparkles!" Smidge finished.

"Seriously?" Branch and (Y/n) asked.

"My name is Lady Glitter Sparkles, seriously." Bridget said with a bit of sass.

"Well, my Lady Glitter Sparkles," King Gristle asked. "would you care to join me for an evening at Captain Starfunkle's Roller Rink and Arcade?"

"Would I! Would I?"

"Yes, you'd be delighted." Poppy answered.

"Yes, you be delighted." Bridget repeated.

"Oh, indeed, I would."

"Um...h-hey, when are you gonna ask him... about Creek?" (Y/n) asked.

"Don't worry, it won't take long." Poppy answered. "We have to warm him up first. Don't you know anything about romance?"

"Um...n-not really...?"

"Branch?" Poppy then turned to him.

"Of course, I'm passionate about it." Branch answered sarcastically.

"Really?"

"Don't you know anything about sarcasm?"

"I think I had a sarcasm once." Cooper said as (Y/n) raised an eyebrow.

"And I'll take everything, Bibbly." Gristle said as he and Bridget were leaving. "Things are gonna get messy."

Time skip...

King Gristle and Bridget (a.k.a Lady Glitter Sparkles) were at Captain Starfunkle's Roller Rink and Arcade, as their waiter gave them their pizza.

"Enjoy your pizza." The waiter said. "Here's your tokens."

He then threw some tokens on the table and left.

"Ooh, so fancy." Bridget said. "Good thing I brought my appetite."

They went to grab a slice only to touch hands. They then stared at each other for a moment, before Bridget slapped his hand and gobbled down the pizza.

He gave a terrified look before saying, "You are fantastic!"

"Bridget!" Poppy whisper yelled. "Compliment him back!"

"I like your back." Bridget said.

"No! I meant say something nice about him."

"But I do like his back."

"Huh?" King Gristle looked at her confused.

"Um..."

"Poppy, help her." Branch said.

"Your eyes...They're..." Poppy tried to speak"Ugh... Ooh! Your ears..."

"Your eyes... ears..." Bridget repeated

"Nose!" Biggie suggested.

"Skin!" Satin and Chenille spoke together.

"Neck!" DJ Suki shouted.

"Skin, neck, nose...face, back of your head." Bridget repeated.

"Are you okay?" Gristle asked more confused.

"Your teeth." Guy Diamond sang.

"Teeth." Bridget tried to imitate.

"What's going on? Are you making fun of me?" Gristle demanded, standing up.

"Your eyes!" Bridget suddenly spoke up making Gristle stop. "They're like...two pools, so deep...I fear if I dive in..."

"I might never come up for air." (Y/n) told her.

"I might never come up for air." Bridget repeated.

Branch, Poppy and Clover watched in awe as she spoke poetically and beautifully. Clover noticed how Branch was staring at her. The way she spoke, reminded him of the poems he has been receiving.

"And your smile...The sun itself turns jealous...and refuses to come out from behind the clouds..." (Y/n) continued.

"Knowing it cannot shine half as bright." Bridget finished.

"I kinda do have a nice smile, don't I?" King Gristle asked, smiling.

"Yes, you do." (Y/n) told Bridget to say, looking over at Clover and Poppy, but noticed Branch staring at her in awe. She quickly looked away blushing as she thought to herself. 'Why is he looking at me like that?'

'The drawings... the poems...' He thought. 'The way she draws...the way she's speaking right now... Could it...could it have been her all along?'

"I can't believe I'm about to say this..." Bridget started.

"Guys, she's going rogue!" Aliki exclaimed.

"But being here with you today...makes me realize that true happiness is possible."

"Whoa..." Poppy and Clover said.

"It is!" King Gristle spoke. "True happiness is a lot closer than you think. It's right here."

He put his hand over his chest, but moved it, showing his locket.

"Mmm. That's pretty, I guess." Bridget said.

"What do you think now?"

He opened it up as Creek popped out gasping. (Y/n) and Clover gasped.

"Creek?" Branch and (Y/n) both questioned.

"(Y/n)! He is alive!" Poppy said grabbing her hands.

"Mr. Dinkles, he's alive!" Biggie exclaimed as everyone else cheered.

"Oh, snap!" Mr. Dinkles spoke.

Everyone gasped.

"You just talked...!" Biggie whispers as Mr. Dinkles squeaks again.

"I've been savoring this little guy."  King Gristle held Creek close up Bridget as the exchange worried looks.

"Help!" Creek plead.

"Uh..." Bridget hesitated.

"Mercy!" Creek yelled only to be shoved back in the locket.

"Tell me, my lady," Grsitle asked. "Will I be seeing you at the Trollstice feast?"

"Well duh," Bridget spoke. "I'll be working."

"It!" Clover said.

"It! Working it! You know..." Bridget got up and started dancing. "...Workin' it."

"Yeah, you're not kidding, you will." King Gristle spoke. "Because you're gonna be there as my plus one."

"Really?"

"Assuming you'll say yes?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!" The trolls cheered.

"In the mean time, maybe we should find a way to...work up an appetite." Gristle said.

"Oh, yeah? What do you have in mind?" Bridget asked.

A couple minutes later, King Gristle and Bridget were rollerblading. It was going well until King Gristle spun her. When she stopped her hair was still spinning, then the trolls flew off. Poppy, Clover, and (Y/n) were the only ones holding on, then (Y/n) grabbed the closet on to her which was Branch.

Gristle sprayed his mouth, ready to kiss Bridget, but she spun him. Seeing this opportunity, (Y/n) pulled the others back on Bridget's head. As everyone landed back on Bridget's head, Branch landed in (Y/n)'s arms. They blushed as Clover snickered.

They put their hair back down as King Gristle stopped spinning. He and Bridget continued to rollerblade with each other, and were about to kiss, until...

"Your majesty."

...Chef came rolling in the rank.

"You seem to be having...fun." She said uncertain.

"Oh I am!" King Gristle said smiling. "Meet the lovely Lady Glitter Sparkles."

Chef got a closer look at Bridget.

"Hmm... You remind of someone."

The Trolls shook in fear making their hair shake.

"She's gonna be my plus one." Gristle said.

"Oh I see. For a moment there I was concerned you were changing the plan."

Gristle laughed, as Bridget chuckled nervously, and Cooper laughed until the others covered his mouth.

"Well, this won't be a problem at all, Your Highness. I'll just get my worthless scullery maid to get... another place setting ready for the lovely... Lady Glittersparkles."

"Put her place setting next to mine. I want her right by my side... Hey! Lady Glittersparkles?"

He looked to see she was gone as followed her to see she was skating away.

"Lady Glittersparkles! I'll see you at Trollstice, yeah?"

Your POV

Later, Bridget made it back to the room and flopped on her bed as the Trolls returned their hair to normal.

"I think the king really likes us!" Cooper said.

"I know, right?!" Biggie respond

"That was the greatest day of my life!" Bridget said happily. "Thanks, Poppy- Thanks to all of you! Even you, I guess."

I just frowned a bit, as Branch just gave her a "Are you serious?" look.

"I just never thought something like that could happen to me. And it just did! I'm so excited I could just scream!"

She quietly screamed.

"Oh, I could scream too!" Poppy said grabbing my hands. "Creek is alive!"

Everyone else then cheered as I cheered quietly, but everyone stopped when Branch shouted in a unhappy way. He stopped when he noticed everyone looking at him.

"Branch what's wrong?" Poppy asked.

"Nothing. I thought we were celebrating." He stated.

"That's your happy shout?" Cooper asked.

"It's been a while."

I giggled a bit.

"Well, you're gonna have plenty of practice, because we're gonna save Creek... and life will be all cupcakes and rainbows again." Poppy said.

"Up top!" Branch raised his hand for Poppy to hit I, but moved it when she tried. "Too slow."

I giggled again, but saw Clover look at me with a smirk, as Aliki and Janell covered their mouths, smiling. I just blushed looking away.

'Did they hear that?'

"Okay, everybody... let's go save Creek." Poppy said grabbing my hand.

We all got off the bed and heading to the door, but Bridget blocked it.

"No! No! You can't leave." Bridget said. "Lady Glittersparkles is gonna be the king's plus one at dinner."

"The dinner where they're serving Troll?" Branch asked. "Yeah, I think we're gonna have to skip that one."

"No! No, you have to help me be Lady Glittersparkles. I need you."

"You don't wanna pretend to be someone you're not forever!" Poppy said.

"Then how about just for tomorrow?"

"Bridget, you don't need us anymore. You and the king can make each other happy!"

"That's impossible! Only eating a Troll can make you happy. Everyone knows that! I wish I'd never gone on this stupid date!"

She ran to her collage and rips it then fall her knees and started crying. Poppy and I looked at her concerned.

"Bridget..." Poppy said.

"Just go!" Bridget yells. "Get out of my room. Leave me alone."

"P-please, listen..." I said.

"Bridget!" We heard chef yell.

"We've gotta go." Branch said grabbing my hand.

"B-but..."

"Bridget..."

"What's going on down there? Bridget, scrub that dish!" A plate then drops on her head. "The king's bringing a plus one!"

"Yes, Chef..." She said quietly as she sobs.

I felt bad leaving Bridget like this and so did Poppy, but we all left to find Creek.

Branch's POV

As the others and I walked down the halls (thankfully no one was there), I couldn't stop thinking about (Y/n)'s drawing. And the way she helped Bridget with that line.

I thought about the letters and drawings in my bunker and how the way her drawing looked like the others...and her way of speaking, like in the letters and poems!

I then remembered something. I reach in my back pocket and took out two folded pieces of paper that I brought with me earlier. One had a picture of me looking a the sunrise, and the other had a letter.

My dear Branch,

You may be cold hearted and trouble some as others claim to say, but I beg to differ. I don't believe you to be heartless. No, not at all. I'm not trying to be rude, but I think you're just afraid to show your true feelings.

It's okay. So am I.

In fact, I'm scared of many things, being an outcast amongst everyone, being treated badly by the ones I care about, but mostly being rejected. But if it does come to that...will you be there?

To lift my sorrows? To show me that you care? To let me know I'm not alone? And...to protect me? Everyone will say you won't, but I think you will.

No...I know you will. For you are not a malcontent... But to me you are a hero. My hero.

Sincerely, anonymous.

'Could she really be the one?' I thought blushing, until I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I turned around to see Clover.

"Hey, Branch." She greeted. "You looked troubled. Something on your mind?"

"Um...well..." I tried to speak. "Okay, I'll say it. I've been getting these letters and drawings from someone, but I don't know who...or at least I didn't."

"So you found out?"

"Well I'm not too sure...but I think it's your sister."

"How could you tell?"

I then held out the letter and drawing to her, and she took them.

"I saw her drawings in her sketch book earlier, and the way she spoke to Bridget...I kinda thought they were similar to the stuff I got."

She looked at the drawing as her eyes went wide. She then read the letter and her eyes grew even wider. She then turned to me.

"So is it from her or someone else?"

"Um...I'm not sure if I can tell you. I can help you find out, but can I keep these for a little while? I kinda wanna inspect these for a bit."

"Sure."

Your POV

I was walking behind the others with Aliki and Janell were pestering me with questions.

"Come on, (Y/n), tell us!" Aliki said.

"Yeah, do you have a crush on Branch?" Jenelle asked.

"I...um..." I tried to speak looking down.

"Oh, (Y/n)~"

We looked up to see Clover wall up to us with a sly look on her face.

"Y...yes?" I asked a bit puzzled.

"Clover?" Jenelle asked.

"What's up?" Aliki asked.

"Well I went to go talk Branch to see if he was okay, and he told me someone was giving him love letters, and drawings."

She then took out a letter and drawing...

...which were the ones I gave to Branch.

I blushed deeply as Jenell and Aliki looked at them...Then turned to me shocked before smiling really hard. I gulped and blushed even more.

"Oh my god~" Aliki squeal lightly. "You do have a crush him!"

"That's so sweet!" Jenell chimed. "Honestly despite what happened in the village before, I found him to be a better choice for you than that creep, Creek."

"You have to tell him!" Clover said.

"I...can't..." I said.

"What? Why not?"

"Because, we're so close to saving Creek, and he and Poppy will think we came here for nothing... Plus I don't think I'm his type."

"Well he seems interested in you. Besides when you help Bridget and drew in your sketchbook, I think he put all pieces together."

I stared at her before sighing. I reached in my hoodie pocket and took out a confession letter I made earlier. I read over it before putting it back.

"Alright, I'll tell him."
