~Present Day~

One Beautiful Morning In Pop Village, The Sun Was Shining And The Trolls Were All Waking Up To The Sound Of Glow Bugs Singing Sweetly.

The Glow Bugs Bounce In The Air To The Beat Of A Song, As They Flew Inside Of A Big Pink Pod.

"Say a little prayer for youuu~"
The Glow Bugs Harmonized.

Queen Poppy, Rose Up From Her Bed Singing, To Start The Morning.
🎵 The moment I wake upppp 🎵

Poppy Jumped Up Excitedly With A Hairbrush In Her Hand.
🎵 Before I put on my makeup! 🎵

"Makeup!"
The Glow Bugs Sang Through Chorus, Helping With Poppy's Attire.

Poppy Leaned Her Head Over Her Window, Gazing At Branch's Bunker.
🎵 I say a little prayer for youuu~🎵

~~~

Down In The Bunker, Branch Was Already Awake And Getting Ready For The Day, Fully Naked.

🎵 While combin'

Branch Sung As He Combed His Hair In The Mirror.

🎵 And wondering
what to wear now! 🎵
Branch Opened Up His Closet, Looking Of What Vest & Shorts To Wear, Even If They're All The Same.

"Wear now!"
The Glow Bugs Sang.

Branch Twirled Into His Usual Clothes And Slid Over To His Elevator.
🎵 I say a little prayer for youuu~ 🎵

🎵 Ooh baby! 🎵
Branch Pulled His Lever And Launched Himself Outside.

~~~

Poppy Jumped Out Of Her Pod And Bounced Over Some Mushrooms.

🎵 Forever!
And ever! 🎵

Branch Swung On His Hair Through Tree Branch's In The Village.
🎵 You'll stay in my heart
and I will love youuu! 🎵

🎵 Forever!

Poppy Sang.

🎵 We never will part,
Oh, how I love youuuuu! 🎵
Branch Sang.

🎵 Together!

To live without youuu 🎵
Poppy Sang, Trying To Make Her Way To Branch On The Mushrooms.

🎵 Would only mean
heartbreak for meeeee! 🎵
Branch Sung, Trying To Make His Way To Poppy On The Trees.

Poppy & Branch Leaped Towards Each Other, But Nearly Missed Grabbing One Another In Mid Air, And Landed In Different Spots In Pop Village.

Branch Landed By The Village's Bus Stop And Waited.
🎵 I run for the bus, dearrrr 🎵

Branch Hopped On The Caterbus Zooming By.
🎵 While ridin',
I think of us, dearrrr! 🎵

🌈 Us dear! 🌈
The Caterbus Troll Passengers Sang.

🎵 I say a little prayer for youuuu~
Ooooh shawty! 🎵
Branch Sung.

Poppy Skipped Through Pop Village To Find Branch Again.
🎵 At work I just take timeee 🎵

Poppy Stopped By The Coffee Stand And Took A Coffee Cup To Sip All At Once.🧋

🎵 And all through my coffee
BREAK TIMEEEE!!!!!! 🤪 🎵
Poppy Sang Loudly With A Crazy Hyper Face.

🌈 Break time! 🌈
The Trolls Around Poppy Sang Along.

Branch Got Off The Bus, Along With The Other Trolls On Board.

Both Sang Together, Finally Meeting With Each Other.

🎵 Onlyyyy mean heartbreakkkk...
.....for meeeeeeeeeee~ 🎵
Poppy Finished With Her Soft High Note As Branch Swung Her Around.

The Trolls Were Breathing Heavily As They Finished The Number, Trying To Keep Up With Poppy & Branch, Then Went On With Their Business.

Poppy & Branch Parted From Their Hug And Gazed Into Each Others Eyes With Big Smiles.

"Whew! What A Rush. Best Way To Start The Morning"
Branch Said.

"Phew! You Said It! Especially With A Song For You And Me! Boop!"
Poppy Booped Branch's Nose.

"Ahhh Well Ya Knowww, Heh, Gotta Get That Adrenaline Goingggg"
Branch Shrugged With A Flustered Smirk.

"How'd You Sleep?"
Poppy Asked.

"Eh, Good I Guess. I Didn't Really Have My Comfortable Grumpy Man Sleeping T-Shirt To Sleep In. I Looked Everywhere For It"
Branch Replied.

"Awww That Sucksss, And You're Right It Is Comfortable"
Poppy Put The Shirt In His Hands.

Branch Blinked And Looked At The Shirt In His Hands.
".....Wait A Minute, How Did You Even....Ohhhh, You Clever Little Sneak Youuu 😏"

"Care To Join This Little Sneak To Check The Mail?"
Poppy Started Walking Off.

"Feels Like I Have To Before You Steal My Mail"
Branch Chuckled, Following Along.

Poppy Made It Over To Her Snail Mail Box, Opening It And Taking Out The Mail Inside.

"Do do do dooo, Let's Seee Hereeee"
Poppy Flipped Through Each Of Her Mail.

Poppy Gasped, As One Of Her Mail Letters Caught Her Attention.
"No Waaaay!"

"What? Is It Bills??? Can't Be We Live In A Forest....OOH! Spam Snail Mails?? DON'T REPLY TO THEM! They'll Keep Coming Backkk.."
Branch Said.

"What? No, It's From Queen Barb And- Actually I Shouldn't Tell Youuuuu"
Poppy Hid Her Face In The Letter.

"And Why Not?"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

"Oh C'mon Branch, Whenever I Get A Letter From Barb, You Experience Trauma From When She Turned You Into A Rock Troll"
Poppy Said.

Branch Scoffed.
"Pffft- No I Don't"

"🤨"
Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow With Sass.

~Flashback~

Poppy Was Checking Her Mail From Queen Barb Peacefully, Until Branch Ran Over Panicking.

"QUEEN BARB IS BACK!
AAAAH!"
Branch Flipped Over The Mail Box.

~~~

"QUEEN BARB IS BACK!
AAAAHH!!"
Branch Flipped Over The Gift Box Barb Mailed To Poppy.

~~~

"QUEEN BARB IS BACK!
AAAAHHH!!!!!"
Branch Splat The Cupcakes Barb Sent Into Poppy's Face.

~End Of Flashback~

"......Anymore"
Branch Finished Off Causally.

Poppy Kept That Same Sassy Expression, Glancing At Him.

"Okay To Be Fair- SHE ZAPPED ME WITH A GUITAR, I WAS TRAUMATIZEDDDD!"
Branch Whined.

"Aw, Well You Don't Gotta Worry Anymore! Our Danger Days Are Over Now! The Trolls Of Troll Kingdom Are Together Now...Just Like We Are~"
Poppy Wiggled Her Nose Against Branch's.

"And Thank Heavens For That"
Branch Wiggled His Nose Back.

Suddenly, A Glitter Fart Came From Out Of The Bushes Nearby The Couple.

Poppy Sighed, Turning Her Head.
"Seriously?"

"Okay, Come Out"
Branch Said.

The Snackpack, Guy Diamond, Smidge, Biggie & Mr. Dinkles, Satin & Chenille, & Legsly Came From Out Of The Bush.

"Nice One -.-"
Smidge Glared At Guy Diamond.

"I'M SORRYYYY, Romance Gives Me Gas...The Good Kind!"
Guy Diamond Looked Away, With A Embarrassed Blush.

"If Only We Can Get The Privacy We Deserve Too"
Branch Rolled His Eyes.

"Trust Us The Feeling Is Mutual"
Satin Said.

"Yeah, Get A Pod!"
Chenille Looked Away.

"Sorry Guys, It's Just- We're Not Yet Used To The Fact That You Two Are Um....An Item?"
Biggie Said.

"More Used To You Two Constantly Bickering And Disagreeing"
Smidge Added.

"Well Things Are Changing For Us Guys, And So Are Trolls Themselves. I Mean We Saved The World! Again-"
Poppy Said.

"Exactly, We Both Have A Better Understanding Of One Another 😌"
Branch Said Proudly.

"Really? Cause I Heard You Were Manipulated Into Helping Her?"
Legsly Said.

"O___O.....Next Subject Please"
Branch Crossed His Arms, Looking Away.

Legsly Giggled.
"But Besides The Point Now, You Two Are Cute Together!"

"You Know What Else Is Cute Together? The Trolls Now! All Over The Kingdom! We Really Came A Long Way I'd Say"
Poppy Grinned.

"Long Way? From What I Remember It Was About 2-3 Days It Took To Save The World"
Biggie Said.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Wishes He Died Along The Way.

"Eh, Trolltato, Trolltatoe"
Poppy Shrugged.

"I'm Serious Guys! I Mean We've Gotten Closer With The Tribes, Queen Barb Just Sent Me A Letter Wanting To Have A Girls Night! Isn't That Great?!"
Poppy Asked.

"You Trust That Woman With A Sleepover?! She Nearly Killed You!"
Smidge Said.

"Nearly. Besides I Had Gumdrops In! Anyways, We're Getting To The Stage Of Trusting One Another"
Poppy Said.

"But We Just Like, Met Them"
Satin Said.

"And We Barely Got To Know Them. They Live So Far Away That We Can Hardly Get The Chance To Really Know The Other Tribes"
Chenille Added.

Satin Gasped.
"It's Almost Like We're Becoming Their.."

" A c q u a i n t a n c e s "
The Twins Say Dramatically.

"AAAH! TWINS PLEASE...Language"
Biggie Covered Mr. Dinkles Non-Existent Ears.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Wanted To Use Bad Language On Biggie's Smelly Hands.

"Okay 1. Not A Fan Of The Word Use. 2. We Are Totes Close With Them! Kinda...Ish...Well...They Do Live Far Away And Not Much Close To Here.."
Poppy Rubbed Her Shoulder.

"Mhm, Annnd When Was The Last Time You Seen Any Of Them?"
Branch Questioned.

"Umm....Uhh....OOOH! THE HOLIDAYS!"
Poppy Replied.

"Barely. We Were Too Busy Finding Gifts For Each Other. Rememberrrr"
Branch Nudged.

"Ugh, Rightttt..."
Poppy Pouted.

"Not Only That, But I'm Really Missing Cooper Being Around. Not That I'm Not Happy For Him, He Did Find His Family But...Just A Empty Space Without Him.."
Biggie Said.

"Yeah.."
The Snackpack Started To Frown, Thinking About Cooper.

"Empty Space...Hm.."
Poppy Thought About Those Words.

Suddenly, A Loud Boosted Hip-Hop Bass Was Heard From Far Away And Everyone Looked Up.

"You Guys Hear That?"
Legsly Said.

Guy Looked Up Ahead And Knew Who It Was.
"Ahhh Ha Ha Ha! Here He Issss!"

Coming From Afar, Tiny Diamond Was Rolling Up In His Little Beatbox Car, With Hip-Hop Music Blasting From The Speakers.

🎵 From the depths of the sea,
back to the block 🎵

🎵 Tiny D, yes but of the king
went solo on that record,
but it's still the same 🎵

🎵 Pop village is the spot where je served his throne 🎵

🎵 Follow me, follow me,
follow me, follow me,
but don't lose your grip 🎵

🎵 Nine-karat the glitter cash
for him to turn things up 🎵

🎵 So he ain't holdin
nuttin back 🎵

🎵 And his daddy got the twenty cha-ching on the sack 🎵

🎵 What's his
mothertrollin' name? 🎵

🎵 T-I-N-Y
Diiiiaaamond 🎵

🎵 Yeah, Yeah, Yeah 🎵

Tiny Jumped From His Car In Style, And Landed Right On A Mushroom With Glitter Shooting Everywhere.

Branch Got The Glitter In His Mouth.
"BLEH! UGHHH!"

"Tinyyyy! There's My One And Only Outshining Son!"
Guy Diamond Did A Cute Lil Handshake With His Son.

"You Already Know Daddy! Wussup Daddy's Friends And Soon To Be Official Uncle & Auntie!"
Tiny Greeted.

"Heyyy Tiny Diamond!"
Poppy Waved.

Branch Coughed Out The Glitter.
"Hey Tiny -.-"

"What's Up Son?"
Guy Diamond Picked Up Tiny.

"I Dropped By To Tell You That I Might've Bursted Out Our Electricity In Our Pod From My Oh-So Hard Beat Basses. Sooo Gonna Be Dark Tonight. You Cool With That Right?"
Tiny Explained.

Guy Diamond's Eye Twitched.
"OF COURSEEE OF COURSEEE, No Biggie Son. I'll Just Have That Fixed Up In No Time...Good Thing We Don't Pay For It"

"True, True. Also Good Thing We Live Together. Cause I Would Not Deal With That On My Own"
Tiny Chuckled.

"HAHAHA YES YES RIGHT RIGHT....KIDS HUH 😁😵‍💫😁"
Guy Diamond Fake Smiled Over At The Snackpack.

Poppy's Attention Caught Over From The Words "Live Together" From Tiny Diamond, And Started To Think Of Something At Sudden.

"Far Apart.....Empty Space....Live Together...."
Poppy Mumbled To Herself.

Poppy Let Out A Huge Gasped.
"😱😱😱😱😱.....THAT'S IT!"

"What's It?"
Branch Turned Over To Poppy.

"OH! UMMMM....JUST UH....FOUND A WAY TO POP THAT BACK-PIMPLE HEH HEH....IGOTTAGO"
Poppy Dashed Away Back To Her Pod.

"Hm"
Branch Sneakily Went To Follow Her.

Legsly Scratched Her Head.
"Wow, She's Been Squeezing That Thing Since Trollsmas"

~~~

~Back At Poppy's Pod~

Branch Climbed Up To The Front Door Of Poppy's Pod, But Before He Knocked, He Looked Inside Her Window.

Inside, Poppy Was Rushing Back N Forth, Getting Scrapbook Supplies And Organizing Something On Her Planning Board.

"Okay, Now I'm Partially Getting Scared"
Branch Said To Himself.

"Hmm, Now If We Put Them Here...And The Others Here...And Then-"
Poppy Put Together Pictures On Her Board.

A Little Baby Caterbug, Named "Blinkable", Was Nudging Poppy's Leg, Wanting Some Attention.

"Sorry Blinky, Not Now, I'm Cooking Up Something Big That Can Change The Troll Kingdom! Again-"
Poppy Said.

Branch Knocked And Walked Inside.
"Heyyyy Popiferrrr"

"Hey Branchifer!"
Poppy Ran Back To Her Closet For My Art Supplies Than Ran Back Out.

"Whatcha Doinnn? You Kinda Ran Off Back There With No Context On This Back-Pimple Thing. If You Need Some Ointment For That, I Have Some Soooo Jusssttt- WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!?!?"
Branch Asked Anxiously.

"Well I Wasn't Going To Show You Until Fully Planned Out But...TA-DAAA!"
Poppy Gestured To Her Planning Board.

Branch Glanced Up At The Board Of Different New Home Designs, Placed On A Map Of Pop Village Forest.

"Okaaaay? What Is This?"
Branch Asked.

"New Homes Silly, That Happen To Look Just Like A Troll Tribe! HEHE"
Poppy Jumped Back On Her Bed To Start Scrapbooking.

"Wait, New Homes? For What Exactly?"
Branch Asked.

"Well It's Just Like You And The Gang Said! With The Other Tribes Not Being As Close To Us, Having Empty Spaces In Your Heartsss, And Living Faaar Away!"
Poppy Replied.

"Yeahhhh Soooo?"
Branch Raised His Eyebrow.

"Soooo I Thought What Better Way For All The Tribes To Be United Than This!"
Poppy Said.

"Than What?"
Branch Asked.

"Having All The Tribes Move Here And Live With Us In Pop Village!
ALL TOGETHER! 😄"
Poppy Blurted Out.

Branch's Eyes Widen.
"O_____O.....WHAT?!?!?!"

"It's Crazy Right! But Also So Exciting!"
Poppy Resumed Scrapbooking.

"You Darn Right It's Crazy! And I'm Not Sure For The Exciting Part. So Allow Me To Be The Voice Of Smart Reasoning Here And Say- THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!!"
Branch Shouted.

"Oh C'monnn Think About It! We Have This Big Forest With Enough Space To Fill! We Can Have Them Move Here And Finally Live Together As Close As Can Be! AND OOH! Build Respective Cities Based On Their Original Homes! It'll Be Like They Never Left!"
Poppy Explained.

"Except They Did Leave! Poppy, Lets Think This Through. You're Asking Trolls To Move Far Away From Their Own Homes To Live With Strangers. That's Just...A Big Step"
Branch Said.

"But That's The Thing...I Don't Want Us To Be Strangers Anymore...You Don't Think This Will Work?"
Poppy Asked, Looking Into His Eyes.

"Well I Uh...I'm Just Saying That-"
Branch Said.

"🥺"
Poppy Gave Branch Puppy Eyes.

"Other Trolls....Moving...To A New..."
Branch Said.

"🥺🥺"
Poppy Gave More Puppy Eyes.

"I Uh...Just Ya Know....Eh Um...It Might Not Be.."

Branch Said.

"🥺🥺🥺"
Poppy Gave Even More Puppy Eyes.

"Ummm Ehhhh....Hhhhh....Might Be Different To Bring All That Luggage Here?"
Branch Tried To Smile.

Poppy Gave A Lil Smile Back.
"Don't Worry, We'll Sort That With A Bigggg Bus!"

Branch Sighed.
"Right....So Um, How Exactly Do You Propose To Get The Tribes To Do This?"

"I'm Gonna Send Out Invitations To Each Tribal Leader For A HUGEEEE Party Down Here In Pop Village, Where We'll Show Them So Much Fun And Hopsitaliy, They'll Have The Best Time Then BOOM! They're On Board To Live With Us!"
Poppy Continued Making The Invitations.

"Yaaaaay....That's....Greattttt?"
Branch Said With His Typical Enthusiasm, Gripping The Edge Of The Bed.

"Hm...Ah!"
Poppy Finished Writing The Invitations.

"There! Done! MWWAH!"
Poppy Kissed The Invitations.

Poppy Whistled Out For A Glow Bug To Fly Inside And To Pick Up The 6 Invitations.

Blinkable Nudged Branch's Leg And Made It's Lil Cute Noise.

"I Know, She's Crazy"
Branch Whispered.

"Alright Girl. Drop These All Over The Troll Kingdom To Each Leader!"
Poppy Instructed.

The Glow Bug Nodded And Began To Fly Out The Window, Into The Sky.

Poppy Looked Out The Window.
"I BELIEVE IN YOUUUUU!"

Branch Had Blinkable In His Hands, Petting Him.
"You're Really Doing This Huh?"

"This Is Gonna Change The Life For All Trolls, For The Second Time"
Poppy Smiled At Branch.

"Well If You're Sure, Then That's Good Enough"
Branch Smiled Back At Her.

"Awww"
Poppy Booped Branch's Nose And Held Blinkable To Herself.

"So, Who's Getting The Invite First?"
Branch Asked.

Poppy Smirked Knowing Who, As She Stroked Blinkable.
"I Think A Certain Rock Queen Might Be Very Fond Of This Idea 😏"
