Doing What is Right
Floyd has been struggling with doing something and his brothers all disagree, but he gets some helpful advice from Poppy.
Floyd had just finished coming back from playing music for the small trollings, as he had a small soft spot for them. He went into the bunker to see his brothers, John Dory and Clay were playing chess while Bruce was cooking food for them before he left, and Branch was watching tv and they looked as he came in.
''Hey Floyd.'' Called Branch.
''Hey bro, how was the little drooling, pods doing?'' Asked John Dory.
''They enjoyed the music.'' Floyd smiled as he went over Bruce and snatched an apple.
''Who wouldn't enjoy emotional music?'' Asked Clay.
''Look JD they are trollings not pods.'' Bruce replied shaking his head.
''Hey guys I was thinking of going back to Mount Rageous sometime this week.'' Floyd said sitting at the table.
''Cool! Got some old friends to see?'' Asked Branch turning around looking at Floyd.
''Sort of I thought I'd go visit Velvet and Veneer.'' Floyd replied.
The brothers all stopped what they are doing and look at him.
''Um Floyd are you sure that's a good idea?'' Asked Clay.
''Well, I mean we were all together for about 3 months, so I mean I do sort of miss them, they reminded me of what we use to be and well... I just want to see how they are doing.'' Floyd answered.
''Floyd, you're having stock home syndrome.'' John Dory pointed out.
''No, I'm not. I mean is it so wrong to check up on them?'' He asked.
''Floyd, they almost killed you, and if not for us you would have died, and they wouldn't have cared they would have moved onto another troll.'' Bruce answered.
Branch was quiet and shook his head.
''Look, I can't explain it but I want to check that they are doing ok? Besides they are locked up.'' He replied.
''Branch what do you think?'' Asked Floyd looking at his baby brother.
Branch was quiet. ''I agree I think you shouldn't go see them. What they did was wrong and they weren't even sorry sure Veneer is but that's only because he was arrested. Velvet doesn't care, going to see them will show them that it affected you making them win.'' Branch replied.
Floyd nodded. ''I see well thanks for the advice.''
He left going back up and shook his head. While he was walking he ran into Poppy.
''Hey Floyd!''
''Hey Poppy.'' He smiled.
''You, ok?'' She asked noticing he seemed down.
''No, it's nothing.'' He replied.
She grabbed his wrist. ''Come on Floyd talk to me I can help.'' She tried.
They then walked and sat down under a mushroom, and she turned and looked at him.
''Well, I'm thinking of going to see Velvet and Veneer, you know catching up and my brothers say it's a bad idea.'' He sighed.
''Well, is there more then just catching up?'' She asked.
He looked at her not expecting that. ''Well, this is going to sound weird, but I do miss them a bit. I know they kidnapped me and drained my talent, but I was with them for 3 months and it was like we were a weird family. Maybe I am crazy.'' Floyd sighed.
''You're not crazy, I get it. You spend all your time with them it's only natural to want closure on all of it.'' Poppy explained.
He was surprised by this. ''Yes, that's how I feel.''
''Then go see them.'' She answered.
''Sounds like you've been through this before?" Floyd acknowledged.
''Well, the whole thing with who I thought was my best friend Creek... he messed up just as bad by selling all of us trolls out and everyone is mad at him and so am I but I did let him live here because he is a troll and the moto no troll left behind is still strong and I know Branch was upset with Creek coming back.'' She looked down.
''So, what did you do?'' Asked Floyd.
''I had a long talk with Creek and made it perfectly clear he was welcomed here but if he tried another prank like that again I would banish him. And me and him were no longer friends, I mean we are on talking terms but nothing more. I did go talk to him I wanted closure on the whole thing, and it worked out. If it's something you want to go for it.'' Popy answered patting Floyd on the back.
''That's smart and thanks Poppy I think I will one of these days.'' He said as he hugged her.
She hugs back and they got up and both went back to the bunker.
Here we go...
