I do not own Trolls or Trolls World Tour or Trolls Band Together or any of the characters in the franchise or the songs! And I especially don't own any of the songs I use from the movie or any other song I pick out in general! I also don't own the characters of Trollstopia! The only thing I do own are my O.C.s Melody Song, McJagger, Buckaroo, Stereo, and Twilight Tidepool; I.M. Rally owns her O.C. Aggie Galido, and Cheah owns his O.C. Finn Okazaki Tidepool. Now, strap in, ladies and gentlemen, and let's get on with the show!

Then, Branch remembered what Poppy had told Viva earlier, and something came into his mind that gave him the perfect idea of how they could nail the perfect- no, not perfect. The FAMILY harmony!

He faced his brothers, and Poppy stood beside Branch, giving him plenty of reassurance. He said, "Guys, Poppy said something earlier, and she was right. We don't have to be perfect to be in harmony. We just have to be as we are: together."

John Dory, Bruce, and Clay all looked at one another and nodded in unison. Branch was absolutely right: as long as they were together, they could do anything! Even if they weren't perfect, who cared? They were a family and family...they were at most in harmony when they were together.

As Bruce and Clay both gave Branch determined smiles that they were ready to try, John Dory's response made Branch feel surprised, seeing the eldest sibling tell him, "We'll follow your lead, Branch."

Branch was surprised to see John Dory willingly let Branch take the lead on this, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel...happy too. Seeing his brothers put that much faith in him...Branch really felt grateful to see them all ready to be back together, ready to work together.

As the spotlights shined bright, Velvet was all the more ready to perform while Veneer was moreso hesitant about doing this, worried that Velvet was taking things too far. He couldn't talk her out of it, though, and despite his pleas, she wouldn't listen. Ready to deliver an epic encore, Velvet shouted, "Here we go," as she prepared to deliver an opening ballad.

However, before the pair of siblings could start to sing, someone had turned one of the knobs on their soundboard down, which shut the music off, as well as their microphones.

This startled Velvet, who commented, "What," before looking around and asking angrily, "Who did that"?

Branch was surprised by this and looked up, eyeing that Crimp had been the one who turned the sound off, which she chuckled and gave the "all clear" thumbs up for Branch to go right ahead.

The silence gave way to serenic acoustics that would be perfect for Branch to create, but he knew that he had to do it now because the sight of Floyd struggling to breathe and looking like he was gonna die before he could get free made him worried. It was now or never; it was time to unleash the perfect family harmony, the right way!

Meanwhile, Velvet was trying to get her microphone to work, vigorously tapping it with her hand while shouting in sheer frustration, "Ugh, come on"!

Better Place (Family Harmony) (Extended) by Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, Camila Cabello, Eric Andre, Daveed Diggs, Kid Cudi, and Troye Sivan

Before Velvet could properly freak out about her microphone not working, she and her brother...heard a singing voice, making them both look down and see that it was coming from this little Troll who was trying to save the Troll that had his life on the line trapped in her source of power and musical talent.

Branch: It's some kinda love...it's some kind of fire.

As Branch allowed his heart and mind to carry the song that he was signing, John Dory, Clay, and Bruce backed him up, vocalizing some harmoic tones to go with the song. All while the found of Branch's singing got Floyd, who struggled to brethe and writhed in absolute pain, to open his eyes, and see what his brothers were doing.

Branch: I'm already up (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: Ooooooooooh), but you lift me higher.

You know I'm not (John Dory, Clay, Bruce: Oooooooooooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) wrong, you know I'm not lyin'; We do it better.

John Dory, Bruce, and Clay rolled over to where Branch was and lined up behind him, the brothers all harmonizing and moving in sync, in dance, and in song.

BroZone: We do it better, yeah.

Moving as one, singing as one, Branch led BroZone, whom his brothers followed the youngest's dance movements, and they didn't think about being perfect, they didn't about being on top, they only had one thing on their minds: saving Floyd, together! And that was something you could hear in how beautiful their melody sounded, something that Velvet, who grew from angry/frustrated to confused/startled.

Branch: (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: I don't mind!) And I don't mind if the world spins faster. (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: The music's louder!) The music's (Clay: Oh!) louder, the waves get (Clay: Oh-oh!) stronger.

Poppy saw Branch and his brothers singing, and a proud smile grew on her face, the Pop queen happy to see her boyfriend getting to sing with his brothers, and no matter if they were perfect or not, she knew that they would be terrific, and would sound amazing together.

Meanwhile, the other Trolls who were with them all quietly watched in awe, amazed to see Branch singing and dancing so well with his brothers.

Branch: (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: I don't mind!) I don't mind if the world spins faster.

Branch got a rhythm going, doing a small spin, which his brothers following the youngest's movement perfectly.

BroZone: Faster, faster!

With the beat picking up, and their harmony on key, Branch and hs brothers began to jump and dance, with his brothers using the limited space they had trapped in the diamonds, to follow Branch's lead, as they sang together, in harmony!

With the crowd of Mount Rageons all watching and cheering them on while a shocked Velvet and a curious Veneer watched on from the big screens, and Floyd, who looked at his brothers proudly and a smile formed, the second youngest brother so happy to see his brothers happily performing together, as they should.

BroZone: Just let me take you to a better place (Branch: Let me take you to a better place!)! I'm gonna make ya kiss the sky tonight!

Yeah, if you let me show the way, I'm so excited!

Poppy joined in on the singing, adding her own melody to the song, with Branch's smile growing since Poppy was just as much family to him as his brothers were.

BroZone and Poppy: To see you excited!

Crimp pulled out her ukelele and began to strum it to the beat of the song, making some nice music to accompany them. Seeing that she had the right idea, Barb pulled out her guitar, Low-Note Jones pulled out his bass guitar, Essence had her tuba out, and Synth had his DJ turntables out, those Trolls playing music in accompaniment to the song, while everyone else all danced along, swaying to the beat while bopping their heads.

Viva felt like singing as well and joined in, dancing with Poppy, both sisters spinning one another playfully.

BroZone: I'll take you to a better place (Viva: I'll take you to a better place), yoohoo! And, baby, you can love me on the way!

Poppy let Viva toss her up while the Pop queen sang, and she then landed in Branch's arms in a tango position while they sang together. Hand-in-hand, they both spun around and around, with Viva joining in on the spinning as Branch, Poppy, Viva, and Branch's brothers began to emit a beautiful glow.

BroZone, Poppy, and Viva: We're flyin' up to outer space! I'm so excited (Viva: I'm so excited) To see you excited (Viva: To see you excited), yeah!

"Look, it's working; they're singing in harmony," Melody cheered while pointing to the glow that Poppy, Branch, Viva, and Branch's brothers were beginning to emit.

"But nawht enough; those diamonds ain't shattering yet," Delta mentioned while she was tapping her hooves.

"They need help," Twilight commented as she looked at Laguna and said, "Let's really up this family harmony."

"Yeah," Laguna replied, she and her mother sharing a fistbump as the two Technos floated towards the Pop Trolls, harmonizing along with Branch's brothers, their voices synced in autotune alongside the brother's melody.

Branch and Poppy: You like the (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: Oooooh!) bass down (Twilight: Bass down low!) low, I wanna (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: Wooooaahhhh!) lose (Laguna: Lose control!) control; I wanna (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: Ahhhhhhh!) dance all night, you like it (Twilight and Laguna: Nice and slow!) nice and (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: Slow-oh!) slow.

Branch and Poppy: Don't want it (Viva: Any other way!) any other (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: Way-ee, yeah!) way, tell all your friends (Poppy: That we gon' stay!) you're gonna stay (John Dory, Bruce, Clay: Stay-ee, yeah!)!

BroZone: When we're together (Poppy and Viva: Together!), you know that we (Twilight and Laguna: We do it better, baby!) do it better!

Velvet looked ready to jump off the podium and head down to stop these Trolls from whatever they were gonna do, but to her surprise, she found her ankles and wrists both bound by hair, which made her gasp.

She looked down and saw that on the floor right below the podium, the other Trolls who weren't currently playing musical instruments had all joined up and were using combined hair power to restrain Velvet, with Holly shouting, "Oh naw ya don't"!

Branch: (John Dory, Bruce, Clay, Poppy: I don't mind!) I don't mind (Clay: Oh-ooh-oh!) if the world spins faster! The (John Dory, Bruce, Clay, Poppy: Music's louder!) music's (Viva: Sing it louder!) louder, the waves (Viva: The waves get stronger!) are gettin' stronger!

(John Dory, Bruce, Clay, Poppy: I don't mind!) I don't mind if the world (Twilight: Spinnin' faster now!) spins faster; faster, faster, (Laguna: Faster!)!

"You're not gonna stop them from doing their family harmony," Aggie, who was the only Troll who wasn't using hair power as she hadn't unlocked the ability yet, shouted while flying up close to Velvet's face and pushed her back with her legs, staggering the Mount Rageon.

Velvet struggled against the restraints, telling Veneer, "Do something, Veneer; get them off of me"!

Veneer looked at his sister, and this time, instead of a worrisome look, he had a determined look on his face, one of confidence in the decision he had on his mind: he took a step back from Velvet, a silent way of saying, "Sorry, but I'm not doing it."

This silent rejection, while minimal, shook Velvet, who was stunned to see her brother just...disobey her?

This all occurred while BroZone continued with performing their family harmony, with everyone together all dancing and singing together happily in sync, and the glow starting to become a little brighter as they did this.

All: Just let me take you to a better place (Bruce: To a better place!)! I'm gonna make you kiss (John Dory: Kiss the sky tonight!) the sky tonight!

Yeah, if you let me show the way (Viva and Poppy: Show the way-ay-ay-ay!); I'm so excited to see you (Clay: Excited!) excited!

I'll take you to a better place (Twilight: Better place!), yo-hoo-ooh, and, baby, you can love (Laguna: Love me all the way!) me on the way (Clay: Oh!)! We're flyin' up to outer space; I'm so excited (Viva: To see you!) to see you excited (Viva: See you excited, yeah!), yeah!

Then, the glow got bright enough that it started to pick up Branch, his brothers in the diamond prisons on the ground, Poppy and his sister, and Laguna and her mom!

Everyone floated and spun together as they tightened the melody, making the family harmony sound crisp, clear, and above all: the most beautiful harmony ever produced! Clay's glow was a bright green, Bruce's was a majestic purple, and John Dory's was a bright blue; while Branch, Poppy, and Viva's glow were a glistening gold color, and Laguna and her mom's glow were of a shiny silver.

Gristle and Rhonda got pulled out of the river water and plopped onto the shoreline before Bridget pulled herself up, resting her shoulders and elbows on the ground as the little trio watched their Troll friends sing together.

Branch: (John Dory, Bruce, Clay, Poppy, Viva: I don't mind!) I don't mind (Clay: I don't mind!) if the world spins faster! The (John Dory, Bruce, Clay, Poppy, Twilight, Laguna: Music's louder!) music's louder; the (Viva: Waves get stronger!) waves get stronger!

Then, Floyd began to emit a familiar glow inside of his own diamond prison, and the force of it pulled the diamond out of Velvet's shoulder pad, making it begin to float up toward the sky.

Velvet saw that she was losing her source of singing talent and pried her wrists and ankles free of the Troll hair restraints, trying to reach up for it before it got too far. However, Veneer took charge and pulled her back, both in keeping her safe from falling off the edge, but also in keeping her from doing anymore harm to the poor Troll inside.

Meanwhile, as Floyd and his diamond prison floated up, it was heading right up to where Branch and his brothers, whom also floated in their diamond prisons, with the 5 brothers all in absolutely perfect sync in song, and in heart!

Branch: (John Dory, Bruce, Clay, Poppy, Viva, Twilight, Laguna: I don't mind!) I don't mind if the world spins faster! Faster, faster, faster!

Despite the risk of losing the last bit of Troll essence he had, Floyd, happy to his heart's content to be singing with his brothers once more after 20 years, belted out a beautiful vocal that went perfectly with the song. It added just the last bit of strength needed in the family harmony to start making his diamond prison, as well as the diamond prisons of John Dory, Bruce, and Clay, crack.

Floyd: Yeah!

Together, everyone raised their fists/hands held high, and delivered the finishing note of the perfect family harmony!

All: Just let me take you to a better place!

With the perfect harmony hit right on the spot, the cracks on all the diamond prisons exploded, the diamonds breaking with such impact that the force of which caused a lous and beautiful explosion, the force of it knocking Velvet and Veneer off their stage pedestal and crashing to the main deck on the yacht.

Up in the air, Floyd felt the last bit of Troll essence that he had faded away, enveloping his face, before his entire face was now the last to become transparent, his entire being now but only a shell of who he was.

His fallen body turned into a transparent jelly-like existence that had no life, movement, heart, or soul, and upon its emptiness, it began to let gravity take hold, falling back to the ground below. All while Branch and his brothers, who began to float back down, freed from the diamonds, were in utter disbelief; did it not work?! Were they...too late?

Poppy and Viva both shared concerned looks on their faces when they saw the state of Floyd and how he was now free-falling, appearing so...lifeless. Laguna and her mother were equally shocked, with Twilight holding her hands sympathetically over her heart while Laguna covered her mouth in shock, stunned to see this Pop Troll so...empty without its life essence.

However, no one was as distraught or shocked about all of this as Branch; he thought that they had made it in time; he couldn't be gone! He couldn't be! There still had to be a chance to save him! He couldn't afford to lose his brother, not again!

He ran to the free-falling body and caught Floyd just before he hit the ground, scared from how light and lifeless he felt, and seeing that closed-eye, opened-mouth, emotionless expression on his face was very emotionally unsettling, especially since no breath could be heard coming in or out.

The texture of Floyd's jelly-like body was smooth and cold, which shivered Branch's senses with fear, and it did nothing to ease the sadness he was now feeling.

As John Dory, Bruce, and Clay ran over to see their brother, Branch slowly laid Floyd on the ground, eyeing how the substance of his jelly-like state jiggled only by forcible movement, not its own. Branch eyed the emotionless expression, and his heart felt like it was gone break seeing Floyd...like this. He couldn't be dead, he couldn't be! Tearfully, Branch called out to him, saying as emotion wrecked his voice, "Floyd," before emitting a sad sigh when he saw the body show no reaction.

Meanwhile, the other Trolls were running up to where Laguna and Twilight were standing, with Barb asking incredulously, "What the heck happened"?!

"Did Floyd fall this way," Dante asked as they arrived and caught sight of Floyd's transparent body, all gasping in shock and utter disbelief.

"Oh no," Quincy commented sadly, with many of the other Trolls all sharing sad looks.

"Bro, is he..." Synth started to ask sadly, unsure if what they were seeing was true, but Laguna sadly nodding in response to the statement was all the solidification needed to indicate that it was true.

This prompted the group to all share sympathetic grieving expressions, with many of them all feeling sympathy for Branch and his other brothers, who had gathered around Floyd's body in hopes of being able to try and wake him out of this state.

Bruce gently shook Floyd's leg while tearfully saying as he felt tears beginning to grow, "Come on, man, wake up; wake up, Floyd"!

John Dory knelt down and added softly while placing his gloved hand on Floyd's limp arm, feeling his own tears beginning to well up, "We need you, brother."

"Please, Floyd," Clay pleaded softly, gently patting the top of Floyd's head while saying as he let his tears fall, "Come back to us, man...we love you."

Branch slowly picked up Floyd's hand and held it close to him, feeling its cool, jelly-like smooth texture brush against his cheek, but it did nothing to stop the flowing tears that now escaped his eyes, with Branch emitting small sniffles as he sobbed silently, feeling his heart aching from the now tedious loss of his older, and his personal favorite, brother.

It looked so unfathomable, and yet, it was all apparent that Floyd was...gone. Everything the brothers had all worked for to rescue him...only to lose him before their eyes...right in front of them.

Poppy saw the hurt look in Branch's eyes and felt like her heart was gonna tighten from seeing how sad Branch was; it hurt her as much as it hurt him to see Branch so...torn apart. She knew that he has had a lot of personal losses at such a young age, but to be losing Floyd like this...and after just getting to reunite with him...it was just too much for even the Queen of Pop to bear, with Viva sharing similar a similar saddened state as her little sister did.

"Oh no," Clay muttered softly, letting his grieving tears fall alongside John Dory and Bruce, who were beginning to cry.

John Dory sniffled while saying to Floyd, "I'm...so sorry, Floyd. You wouldn't have been in this position if...if I hadn't driven a wedge between our family; this is...this is all my fault. If I hadn't been so needlessly driven on us being so perfect..."

Bruce noticed the eldest sibling's emotional state and said to John Dory as reassuringly as he could, though it was hard because he was just as sad, "No, John, don't blame yourself for this; you were only trying to be a leader, a guide for your younger siblings. If I hadn't quit and walked out that day, we'd all still be together."

Clay sniffled and added tearfully, "Yeah, dude; if we hadn't walked out like that...Floyd wouldn't have left too, and we wouldn't have abandoned Branch, and..." before he found himself unable to say more, just letting himself cry.

Branch couldn't even say anything as he was just too upset; he found a piece of himself feeling remorseful in seeing the guilt that the 3 eldest brothers all shared, but...even he knew that they didn't deserve to feel bad for causing this, it wasn't their fault. It was none of their fault; that was something Floyd would've told them...if he was still alive.

Branch couldn't hold any more animosity towards his brothers after everything that they went through, and while grieving, Branch himself found himself willing to do something that Floyd would've told him to take time to do: forgive. He silently forgave John Dory, Bruce, and Clay, and especially Floyd, and while it did put him a little more at ease, it didn't take away the still present sadness of the 4 siblings grieving for their now-gone brother.

Amongst this, feeling, he also found some clarity to speak, telling Floyd in one last, almost futile attempt to try and communicate through Floyd, "I-I built the hideout, Floyd," before adding softly, slowly bowing his head to show respect for his fallen sibling, "Except the tenstory waterslide."

Bruce placed a comforting hand on Branch's shoulder as he, John Dory, and Clay all bowed their heads together, the little family all crying softly as they grieved together, surrounding Floyd with brotherly love that, while in this sad moment, gave them all a recovered piece from long ago, in which they could now all be together again...though why did it have to be like this?

Alas, there seemed like nothing they could do...Floyd was gone, and the brothers were torn, the little family feeling incomplete without the sensitive brother who encouraged them through good and bad times.

Then, something almost miraculous happened: a small light came from Floyd's nose, the light becoming more of a physical glow, in which Floyd's nose slowly became materialized and physically present, essence returning to that part of his body.

Then, the glow began to spread from his nose to across Floyd's face, revitalizing it with life as essence seemed to return to his body, materializing his face back.

The sight of the glow caught Poppy and Viva's attention, which made both sisters gasp in surprise to see what was happening, while the other Trolls all took notice and shared similar surprised reactions.

Meanwhile, as Floyd's eyes soon came back to it, they began to flutter open, and, in a tired but relaxed voice, Floyd spoke up, saying softly, "But... how will we shower"?

The sound of Floyd's voice prompted the brothers to snap out of their grieving states and eye, in their stunned relief, that Floyd wasn't dead at all; he was alive! He was regaining essence by the minute and was coming back to them!

Branch was the most relieved, commenting happily as he felt happy tears escaping his eyes, "Floyd," before he enveloped him in a big hug, bringing him close to the survivalist Troll.

"Floyd," Clay asked hopefully as he saw his younger sibling coming back to them.

John Dory and Bruce both cheered before he joined in hugging Floyd, while Clay exclaimed happily as he hugged Floyd, "Floyd! No way! Yeah," while Poppy and Viva joined in on the big, now-developing group hug.

Floyd chuckled as he felt his brothers hugging him, feeling warm and happy from the familial embrace and feeling his senses returning as the glow spread towards his ears, his upper and lower body, all the way down to his hands and feet. His shorts regained their cloth-like feel and its brown color, and even his hair gained back its magenta coloring, though it did leave a tell-tale scar of his ordeal: from the roots of his scalp to a few inches past it, shown around the top edge of his bangs, the top edge of the tuft of hair on the right side of his face, and the back of his head, his hair was not magenta, but instead, faded white like snow.

"Awww," the other Trolls commented in awe, seeing the happy family reunion of Branch's brothers and feeling relief in knowing Floyd was gonna be alright.

Val was doing her best not to show that she wanted to happy cry, but Melody smiled all too knowingly and wrapped her arms around Val and Lizzy, whom both smiled and nestled into the embrace.

Holly sniffled while saying, "They really did it, y'all; they brought him back."

"The love and strength of their family bond must've touched Floyd and gave him the strength to gain back his Troll essence, " Aggie commented happily.

"Nothing's sweeter than seeing family reunite," Essence stated while wiping a stray happy tear away.

"That's definitely for true, mate," Twilight replied while wrapping an arm around her daughter, who hugged back while they watched.

As everyone was enjoying the tearful reunion, Velvet and Veneer were recovering from being blasted off their podium and having fallen to the ground. Veneer was the first to get back onto his feet before Velvet promptly followed, but as he watched his sister stand back up, He remembered back to what Floyd had told him before when he had first caught him after the Troll had tried to escape.

Flashback to earlier...

"But just because she's your sister doesn't mean you should let her treat you like garbage," Floyd told the Mount Rageon, who bit his lower lip nervously.

Veneer sighed, commenting, "I know, but you don't understand: Velvet is the ONLY family I have left. After she decided that we were gonna make it on our own and become stars whether our parents liked it or not, mom and dad kicked us out and cut us off, leaving us with literally nothing."

Floyd was very surprised to be hearing this, asking, "So what she said about you guys being nobody, did that mean..."

Veneer nodded sadly, saying, "I didn't want to leave, but Velvet gave me no choice. She said, it was either become stars with her, or live in obscurity on the streets, and...I couldn't do anything on my own without her, so...I went along with her and did whatever she told me to do. And as you can see, it's led us up to where we are now; I OWE Velvet for...keeping me from becoming a real nobody."

Floyd felt nothing but utter sympathy for Veneer; he knew that Velvet was the more dominant sibling in the pair, and while Veneer appeared to be a hopeless follower who shared the same mindset, it was only in moments like this where he could get to see the real Veneer: one with a conscience who could be truthful to him about everything involving this entire scheme.

Floyd then asked, "You wouldn't be a nobody if you weren't a celebrity; fame and fortune may sound great, but in the end, wouldn't it matter more if you got to be acknowledged by people, even just a few, for just knowing the real you? And not this you that Velvet wants you to be"?

Veneer didn't know how to answer that question, especially since he still was feeling that nagging gut-wrenching feeling about this whole plan falling apart, and the fear of disappointing Velvet or making her feel anger towards him. This was noticed by Floyd, who then said reassuringly, "You don't have to feel like you owe Velvet anything; she's your sister, and family is supposed to look out for each other, regardless of what happens, and they shouldn't make you feel like you are indebted to do whatever they say just because of it."

"Don't it, though," Veneer asked hesitantly.

Floyd shook his head while answering, "No; sibling or not, you deserve to be treated with kindness and to be around people who would never try to change the you that you are."

He then added, "Instead of trying to act like how others want you to, you should try being yourself. Because if you ask me, I think that you'd do pretty well if you-," before the sound of incoming footsteps interrupted him.

End of Flashback...

With that in mind, Veneer knew that what was gonna happen next was not gonna be pretty, but it had to be done. And if Velvet didn't like it...then who cared? He wasn't gonna continue this phony fake act any longer; this time, he was now gonna do something as himself, as Veneer!

As Velvet recovered from the fall, she eyed the Trolls, who began to separate from the hug, and commented, ready to snatch them up, "Look, they're distracted; let's quickly-,"

"No," Veneer interrupted before Velvet could finish the sentence, his face riddled with guilt for almost causing Floyd to die, but also determination in going through with what he had in mind.

Velvet turned around and faced her brother, asking, "Uh, Veneer, why do you have moody resting-vibe face again? And did you just say "No"?

Veneer nodded, saying, "You know very well what I said."

Velvet was now feeling a little confused by what her brother was doing but moreso concerned because there were cameras still present in the area, and she didn't ant what might go down to be caught on film that could wreck their newfound stardom.

Trying to rein him in, she spoke through gritted teeth, in a strained, angry whisper, while asking as she gave him a form glare of suspicion, "What are you doing, little brother"?

"Something I should've done long ago," Veneer firmly replied before he faced the floating cameras, eyeing at the million of Mount Rageons that were watching from the big screens around Mount Rageous.

Velvet was still a little confused by what Veneer was doing but didn't have a lot of time to react as Veneer began to speak, saying, "Listen up, Mount Rageons; I...have something to confess about us"!

That turned the gears in Velvet's head and made her realize what Veneer was doing; he was gonna expose them! He was gonna reveal what they were really doing, and everything that she ever planned and worked for was gonna be torn down! She quickly tried to get Veneer to stop, saying, "Veneer, we should go NOW"!

Veneer turned his head slightly and told his sister firmly; his mind decided, "No, not like this," before he faced back to the cameras and started to say, "We..."

"Veneer, whatever you are doing, we can talk about this in our dressing rooms in PRIVATE," Velvet frustratedly whispered through gritted teeth, failing to convince her brother to stop.

"Are..." Veneer stated, one step closer to revealing the truth in front of everyone on Mount Rageous.

"Veneer, stop! Please," Velvet quietly pleaded, desperately getting her brother to listen, which failed.

Then, in a loud voice riddled with guilt and remorse, he exclaimed, "Frauds"!

Everyone in the massive audiences around the mountain all gasped in shock, stunned to be hearing this firsthand from the mouths of superstars Velvet and Veneer, mostly Veneer at this point.

Velvet's jaw dropped in horror, her eyes dilating in shock as she watched her brother explain in front of the cameras that recorded and snapped images of this confession, "We've been stealing essence to strengthen and glorify our singing talents so that our voices would be the best in the music industry, and we've been literally torturing little trolls to get the essence needed to do so. We almost killed an innocent Troll to get ahead in fame."

That revelation shocked the Mount Rageons even more; stealing essence from innocent Troll creatures and almost killing them just to be famous?! What sicko move was that?! Why?! Who in their right mind would wanna do that to some small, sweet, friendly beings just so they could enhance their talents?! This was worse than lip-syncing!

"They're a bunch of big phonies," one male Mount Rageon in one of the crowds shouted angrily.

As the crowds of Mount Rageons reeled from shock, Veneer continued explaining, "We just wanted to be famous, though if I'm being more honest than I have been over the past 2 months, my sister wanted to be famous, and, truly, I was too afraid to stand up to her. She made me feel like I owed her doing this all because I was her brother, and that I'd be nothing if I didn't have her supporting me. And for a while...I believed this, and it led me to do these really regrettable things...I know that it was wrong, but I felt too frightened to speak up because...I was scared about betraying the only family member that I had with me."

While the Mount Rageons were all still very clearly upset that Velvet and Veneer did this, but a lot of that disappointment and upset emotions were now being directed towards the mastermind: Velvet, who was left standing and spewing in her own anger that Veneer had "Betrayed" her in such fashion. Trying to save any innocent face that she had left, she tried to turn things back to Veneer so that blame could be pointed solely on him, spitting out in anger, "It's like I don't even know who you are."

"Yeah, you do," Veneer debuted back, pointing out, "And you asked me to change anyway, which isn't okay," before quoting on Floyd's advice from earlier, "Family or not. You made me feel like I had to do these things because I was indebted to you for taking me in with you when you chose to leave our old lives behind, but you know what? I'd rather be living my life as a nobody, and be happy that I could have at least some people like me for who I am as the real me, not have to change myself to be someone I'm not just to have dozens of people like me."

He looked back at Floyd, who sported a proud smile at the Mount Rageon and nodded in acknowledgment, knowing Veneer was doing the right thing, with Veneer nodding back in response.

All of this made Velvet feel taken aback, and didn't know what to say, but she did have one prominent emotion still residing: anger. And in that anger, she glared coldly at Veneer and shouted, "Why did I have to have such a spineless, conscious-bearing loser for a brother"?

Veneer didn't let the insult faze him, retorting back, "Well, this "loser" got the brains and heart in the family, while all you got was a spoiled entitled attitude, so who's the real "loser" here"?

Velvet was stunned by the insult, but before she could even rebute, she felt something bind her thumbs together, and saw that Crimp had placed purple diamond handcuffs on her thumbs, which made it hard to move her hands. She bitterly shouted at the hairball assistant, "Crimp, what are you doing"?

Veneer then felt a pair of handcuffs bind his thumbs together, which made the boy ask, "Wait, why am I getting arrested too? I was just saying that I had a change of heart."

Crimp replied, "Well, you did, but while Velvet had more of the mastermind planning of all this, you were, albeit forcibly, also engaged in trollnapping, troll torture, fraud. It's just standard justice protocol."

Clay then added, as he stepped forward with a notepad and blue crayon, while Bruce and John Dory watched the middle child have his moment to put his CPA skills to good use: "And tax evasion, which goes hand in hand with the current fraud charges, I'm gonna have to repossess your yacht."

Veneer wasn't upset at all about being arrested as he knew that despite everything his sister had put him through, he was still responsible for playing a role in this entire scam, and as much, had to do some time to pay for his actions. So, he was more than willing to give up the yacht and everything, telling Clay, "Fair enough; prison it is."

Crimp then snapped her fingers, which signaled 2 security guards to come up and take the two away, commenting as she watched Velvet and Veneer be arrested, mostly feeling relieved that no longer was she under any malicious pressure and force from Velvet, "Wow, this is liberating"!

The crowds watching from the big screens also cheered when they saw Velvet and Venee being hauled away by the security officers, Rhonda barking eagerly as she watched the two Mount Rageons be hauled away, being sent to prison to serve some justice.

As both Velvet and Veneer were taken away, Floyd couldn't help but comment, "Would it be weird if I said that I'm gonna miss Veneer"?

"It'd be a lot weirder if you said you'd be missing Velvet," John Dory replied, which made him, Floyd, Branch, Clay, and Bruce laugh together, enjoying their first joke together in 20 years.

While everyone was getting to talk and rejoice, Poppy approached Branch, who she noticed was watching his brothers intermingling happily. Wanting to see how he was feeling, she asked him, "So, how you feeling"?

Branch took a minute to think about it before listing, "Happy, grateful, and...really sorry that it's taken me this long to open up to you. I...really appreciate everything you did to...help me, and the fact that you were here willing to listen and be beside me through all of this, even when I tried to push you away...it means a lot to me."

Poppy smiled, saying, "Hey, you mean a lot to me, and I'm never gonna stop caring about you. Whatever comes our way, we're in this together, right"?

Branch smiled, nodding before adding, "Wouldn't want it any other way."

Poppy was almost ecstatic to see Branch being so open, and as much as she was excited, she also felt very proud of Branch. Wanting to make a minor joke to get Branch laughing, she commented, pretending to step back, "Whoa, TMI! Boundaries, my man; that is a lot of feelings."

Branch knew that Poppy was joking, with the pair sharing a laugh before, to his surprise, Poppy pulled him close to her, the two locking lips and sharing a romantic kiss. Branch immediately melted into the kiss, gently placing his hands over Poppy, while both Trolls were resisting the urge to blush.

The newly-dubbed "Broppy Kiss Heard 'Round the World" was caught on screen, with many of the Mount Rageons watching all cheering for the couple, many in awe of the romantic moment, while others were rooting on Branch and poppy for being a cute couple together.

The tribal leaders, Aggie, the ambassadors, and associates, Laguna, Twilight, and Lizzy all cheered and rooted for Poppy, seeing that this was their first time seeing Poppy and Branch kiss publically. Amongst some of the cheers, Twilight tossed her fedora up into the air before catching it in her hand, Lizzy gave a thumbs up, Holly delivered a signature "Woohoo" while Synth and Stereo mimicked airhorn noises as Barb shouted, "Yeah, go to town on him, Poppy"!

Viva saw her sister kissing Branch and immediately became ecstatic, squealing eagerly at the sight of seeing her sister and her boyfriend kissing. Yet at the same time, she also could tell that Branch was a very good man to her, and he seemed to be, without question, the perfect match for Poppy. With that in mind, she quietly ran up to them, without the couple noticing, eager to deliver her approvals and eagerness of Branch with one of her signature trademarks.

Clay and Bruce both did one of their tight handshakes, happy to be back together again, with the whole family reunited, while Floyd tearfully sniffled and wiped away a tear of pride in seeing Branch so happy with Poppy, while John Dory hugged Floyd, happy that he was with them again.

Rhonda stood on her hind legs and delivered a celebratory growl, waving her front paws back and forth as her tail wagged, voicing her excitement.

As Poppy and Branch soon separated from the kiss, Branch couldn't help but feel something had happened while he was "in the moment" with Poppy, and couldn't help but ask in confusion as he looked up, eyeing what he was feeling that was odd, " Um, what just happened"?

Poppy looked up and saw what had happened, answering, "Oh, that," and let out a chuckle before adding, "Viva just braided your hair; it means she likes you."

It was revealed that Viva had braided Branch's hair into twin braided pigtails, tied up nicely with purple scrunchies, and they stood proudly tall on top of his head. All while Viva declared while joining up with Broppy and Branch's brothers, "It means I like you"!

As the rest of the Trolls came over to join them and get to meet Branch's brothers in person, the sight of this caused some of the Trolls to snicker and laugh, with Melody shouting mid-snicker, "Hey, if it helps, braided pigtails are a good look on you, Branch"!

With everyone joined up together, Poppy declared, "We're gonna have the best family reunion ever."

"With a party, yo," Stereo cheered.

"Music," McJagger added happily.

"Dancing," Dante mentioned.

"And while we're at it, a big, long talk with Dad," Viva added, though that comment was more directed towards Poppy since she knew King Peppy had never told Poppy about Viva being her sister.

"King of secrets, that guy" Poppy replied.

"You'd be surprise what that man has hidden," Aggie pointed out jokingly.

"Right? What is his deal," Viva replied, going along with it before Poppy added eagerly, "Oh, he's gonna be so happy to see you."

"And he'll be just as happy getting to meet us again too," Bruce added, which made Branch and his brothers all smile in agreement.

"There is so much y'all gotta be caught up on," Delta pointed out.

"Yes, many things have changed since your last presence amongst your homelands," Trollzart stated.

"I can't wait to go back and see everyone too, mates," Twilight mentioned while tipping her fedora.

"Oh, mom; you're gonna love Techno Lagoon; I'll have to message Finn to come meet us so he can see you again," Laguna replied to her mother.

As the Trolls were all eagerly talking about getting to return home and reuniting with family, there was a sense of happiness in knowing that there'd be loads of new adventures awaiting them with now their relatives and closest friends in tow. The future looked good, and things were only gonna get better from here.
