~Later Through The Night~

As The Moon Was Still Up High In The Sky, And Snowing Gently Amongst The Winter Forest In Pop Village, Most Of The Trolls Were All Fast Asleep In Their Pods, All Except For One.

After Failed Attempts Of Trying To Out-Gift Her Younger Sister With A Song, Viva Took A Stroll Through The Snow In The Village To Try And Clear Her Mind, Almost Giving Up All Hope In A Gift For Poppy.

Viva Sighed As She Walked And Gently Kicked The Snow.
"Hhhhh...I Just Don't Get It! I'm Literally The Queen Of Pop's Sister! And I Can't Even Write A Song Gift For Her! WHAT KIND OF TROLL DOES THAT MAKE ME?!?!?"

Viva Stopped For A Moment And Turned Her Head To Look Up At Poppy's Pod.
"What Kind Of Sister....Does That Make Me?"

Viva Sighed Again And Turned Back Around To Keep Walking.
"Well Poppy I Tried But....I Guess This Will Be Another Sister-less Holiday In The Scrapbooks.."

"ˢᶦˢᵗᵉʳ⁻ˡᵉˢˢ ʰᵒˡᶦᵈᵃʸˀ"
A Faint And Muffled Familiar Voice Was Heard In Front Of Viva, In A Pile Of Snow.

"I Must Be Still On Barb's Rock-Nip Cause Now THERE'S A PILE CHUNK OF SNOW TALKING TO ME! WHAT'S NEXT TROLL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE?!?!??!"
Viva Shouted Up In The Sky, In Frustrated.

As The Wind Blew More, The Breeze
Blew Off The Pile Of Snow, To Reveal Clay Still Laying In Outside Cold After Yesterday Night Of Being Kicked And Thrown Out Of His Sad Book Club.

"Oh- Clay???"
Viva Said In Shock To See Her Friend.

"ᵃʸʸʸ ᵛᶦᵛᵃᵃᵃᵃ, ʷᵃˢˢᵘᵖ ᵍᶦʳˡˀ"
Clay Said As His Face Was Muffled In The Snow.

"Wassup With Me? Wassup With You?! Why Are You Laying Out Here In The Snow?"
Viva Tilted Her Head At Clay.

"ʷʰʸ ᵃʳᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ʸᵉˡˡᶦⁿᵍ ᵃᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ᵗʳᵒˡˡˢ ᶜᶦⁿᵉᵐᵃᵗᶦᶜ ᵘⁿᶦᵛᵉʳˢᵉˀ"
Clay Asked Back At Viva.

"....Fair Enough. How Long Exactly Have You Been Out Here?"
Viva Questioned Clay Again.

"ʷʰᵃᵗ ᵗᶦᵐᵉ ᶦˢ ᶦᵗˀ"
Clay Curiously Asked Viva.

"Around 10:00pm"
Viva Replied Back.

"ᵗʰᵉⁿ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ²⁶ ʰᵒᵘʳˢ"
Clay Answered Viva Back.

Viva Blankly Blinked At That, Awkwardly.
"You're Just....So Clay"

"ᵃⁿᵈ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ʸᵒᵘ ᶠᵒʳᵍᵉᵗ ᶦᵗ"
Clay Said In A Proud Tone, Still Faced Down In The Snow.

Viva Rolled Her Eyes Playfully And Grabbed Clay's Arm To Help Him Up.
"Alright Mr. CPA, Upsie Daisies Before You Catch A Cold FROM The Cold!"

"Thanks Veev, And Don't Worry! I Was Just Reminiscing Over Last Night In This Comfy Snow! That Has An Odd Spoiled Lemonade Taste To It"
Clay Said As He Had Some Yellow Snow Stuck Onto His Face.

"Yeahhh Uhhh Let's Not Focus On That Side Gag.."
Viva Quickled Brushed The Yellow Snow Off Clay's Face.

Clay Shrugged To Himself And Dusted Himself Off More.
"Eh 🤷‍♂️, So Why Are You Out Here This Late And Yapping About Sister-less Holidays?"

Viva's Ears Drooped Down As She Rubbed Her Arm.
"I Don't Knowww...You Wouldn't Understand Clay.."

"Viva, We Spent Over 20 Years Together In A Golf Course That Looks Like It's From The Poltergeist, And We Always Expressed Our Deepest Saddest Feelings To Each Other, Why Not Now?"
Clay Raised His Eyebrow As He Questioned.

Viva Sat Down In The Snow And Hugged Her Knees.
"This Is Different...For The First Time, I Feel Lost Of How To Make Someone Happy.."

"I Mean, You Being Here Is Making Me Happy Soooooo...?"
Clay Chuckled As He Went To Sit Beside Viva In The Snow.

Viva Gained A Smile For A Second.
"Aw, You're Sweet But....I Mean Someone Else.."

"Ohhhhh.."
Clay Said Awkwardly, As He Thought About Something Else.

"Yep"
Viva Nodded As She Hugged Her Knees.

"...Is It The Shawn Mendes Troll? 👉👈"
Clay Fiddled With His Fingers, Trying Not To Act In A Certain Jealous Way.

Viva Raised Her Eyebrow At Clay.
"What? No, Someone Much More Meaningful.."

Reaching Into Her Hair, Viva Took Out An Old Scrapbook Photo Of Her As A Child With Her Baby Sister, Poppy, As Viva Grew A Half Happy Smile And Half Sad Smile Over The Memory Of The Photo.

"Awww, Who Are Those Two Adorable Little Pink Gumballs? 👀"
Clay Said In A Teasing Manner.

Viva Giggled A Little As She Stared At The Photo.
"Those Pink Gumballs Are A Lil Baby Trolling Who Would Soon Become A Great Queen And....One Who...Fails To Make That Sister Happy Around Christmas.."

"Huh?"
Clay Tilted His Head At Viva, Confusingly.

Viva Sighed And Began To Express.
"Well, You See....I-I'm Poppy's Gift Swap Person...And For The Past 2 Days I've Been Stressing To Figure Out The Perfect Gift For Her! I Went To A Present Support Group, Which Contributed No Help And I Got DRUGGED INTO ROCK OPERA WITH A GUITARIST FROM THE 80'S!"

Clay Snickered A Little At The Last Part.
"That'll Do It For Ya"

"I Wanted To Give Poppy A Song For Her Gift, But I'm Afraid That Won't Even Be Worth It For All The Amazing Things Poppy Has Ever Done, And The Kind Of Troll She Is...Nothing I Give Her Will Be As Amazing As She Is.."
Viva Tried To Hold Back Tears From Forming In Her Sadden Eyes.

Viva Glanced Back At Her Old Scrapbook Photo, With A Small Grin.
"I Just Wanna Make Her Holiday Special...Ya Know? Together As Sisters"

Being The Listener That He Always Has Been For Viva, Clay Listened And Understood Viva's Dilemma As He Can Also Relate Deep Inside, With His Brothers And For Their "Bro-liday" Of Wanting To Be Together.

Clay Thought More Of What To Say And Then Gained A Smile.
"Viva, I Get It. You Wanna Make The Holiday Season Special For Poppy. Trust Me, I Understand That When Thinking Of My Brothers"

Viva Turned To Face Clay Eye To Eye.
"Really?"

"Of Course! Back In The Day, Even Though I Was Fun Prankster Boy, I Tried To Make It As Fun Just To Be Together With My Brothers. There's Nothing More Special Than That, Especially Around Christmas. There Isn't And Would Never Be Christmas Without Them"
Clay Rubbed Viva's Back Gently.

"Whoa.."
Viva Said Softly Under Her Breath, As If She Just Got A Spark Of Inspiration From Clay's Advice.

"So Now I Ask You, What Do You Think Poppy Is Looking For This Christmas?"
Clay Questioned Viva, Hoping She'd Answer With Confidence.

Viva Took Another Look At The Scrapbook Photo And Gripped It.
"It's Not Christmas...Without...Her...Or Me...Or Anyone Else! GAAASSSPP! THAT'S IT! BEING TOGETHER! THAT'S ALL POPPY WOULD WANT!"

"There Ya Go Veev!"
Clay Playfully And Gently Punched Viva's Shoulder.

Viva Stood Up And Rapidly Stomped Her Feet Excitedly.
"AAAAAAAA! CLAY YOU LEMON LIME SPIRITE SODA POP GENIUSSSS!!!"

Clay Chuckled As He Stood Up.
"You're The Lemon, I'm The Lime 😌"

"O-M-GOSH! YOU'RE SO RIGHT! WE'RE THE SPIRTE SODA POP COUPLEEEEE!!"
Viva Leaped To Clay For A Close Hug.

Clay Hugged Viva Back Until He Realized What She Said.
"......Wait- 😳 Couple??"

Viva's Eyes Widen With A Blush As She Parted Away.
"😳 I MEAN AS IN UH, LIKE A PAIR! DUO! TWO PEARS IN A BOWL HA HA HAAA.."

"YEAH YEAHHHH LIKE THE TWOSOME WE AREEEE.."
Clay Awkwardly Replied Back.

"YES! ABSOLUTELY, THE TWO FANTASTAMAZING CUDI & CABELLOOOOO! C&C Matey! Heh Heh.."
Viva Nodded Rapidly, Also Awkwardly.

"Ha Ha Ha...Heh.."
Clay Oddly Laughed In The Awkward Moment.

"Heh Heh..Ha...Hehhhh..."
Viva Continued To Awkwardly Giggle At This Moment As Well.

"....Hehhhhh..."
Both Did The Final Awkward Chuckle In Sync With Flustered Smiles.

"So Uhhhh...I Gotta Do The Um- Songwriting Thing While I Got My Inspiration-"
Viva Said About To Walk Away.

"Yeah! Yeah! Right! Of Course! Go On Ahead Before Writer's Block Kicks In!"
Clay Encouraged Viva To Go.

"Alright Lime! Catch Up With Youuuuuu....Later Clay! BYE!"
Viva Dashed Off In A Yellow Blur.

"...Here Comes That Feeling ☺️"
Clay Said As He Felt Butterflies In His Tummy From His Time With Viva.

Viva Shouted Out Loudly From The Distance, Overhearing.
"I HEARD THAT! 🗣"

~~~

~Meanwhile~

After Their Heist In Vacay Island, Poppy, Branch, And Mr. Dinkles Arrived Back In Pop Village In Their Sleigh Made Out Of Junk, Along With A HUGE Sack Of Decorations All Stolen From Every Vacaytioner In Vacay Island.

Pulling The Sleigh With All His Wormy Might And Strength, Mr. Dinkles Had The Rope Connected To The Sleigh In His Mouth And Was Somehow Able To Bring It From Vacay Island Back To Pop Village.

Branch Cheered On For Mr. Dinkles.
"YOU GOT IT MR. DINKLESSS! IT'S ALL YOU BABYYYY! YES! USE THAT WORMY AURA!

Mr. Dinkles Reached Back To The Hill In Pop Village And Flopped On The Snow.
"Mew 😮‍💨.."

Branch Hopped Off The Sleigh And Shouted Out Loud, Proudly.
"Weeeeee....DIDDDD ITTTTT!!!!"

"Ugggghhh...D'oh!"
Poppy Yelped As She Exhaustingly Flopped Out Of The Sleigh.

"WE DID IT! 🕺 WE DID IT! 🕺"
Branch Sung Like A Little Kid And Danced A Lil.

"Yes...We Did It....AND I'M DONE!"
Poppy Said As She Stood Back Up With An Attitude.

"Done?! What Do You Mean Done?!"
Branch Questioned At His Girlfriend.

"BRANCH- YOU LITERALLY JUST PULLED OFF BEING A CHRISTMAS GRINCH BRINCH BY STEALING DECORATIONS AND PRESENTS FROM VACAY ISLAND AND YOUR BROTHER AND HIS FAMILY! NOT TO MENTION, I GOT ELECTROCUTED ON MY HAND!!!"
Poppy Yelled Into Branch's Face.

"....Sounds Like An Average Tuesday For Us-"
Branch Replied Casually.

Poppy Frustratingly Took Off Her Elf Hat.
"UGGGGGHH! I Just-...Hhhh...I Can't Believe We Just Did That...I Mean, Didn't You See The Look On Bruce's Daughter's Face?"

"Before Or After She Tried To Kill Us? .___."
Branch Said Back.

"Before! She Was Really Looking Forward To Santa Claus Bringing Christmas Cheer And Turns Out He Actually Stole It.."
Poppy Rubbed Her Arm, Feeling Guilty.

"Okay, Look Look, I Understand Where You're Coming From Popifur, I Do, But Trust Me, LaBreezey And Everyone Else Will Be Much More Happier When We Bring The Broliday Back! It'll Be A Family Reunion: Holiday Edition 👀"
Branch Bounced His Eyebrows At His Girlfriend.

"Sooooooo....A Holiday Reunion?"
Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow.

"Exactly~ 😏"
Branch Smirked At The Wattpad Readers With His Holiday Rizz Face.

"Still, It All Feels Wrongly Excessive! I Mean, What Do You Think All Of Vacay Island Will Think When They Wake Up And See Their Tropical Christmas Decorations Are Gone?!"
Poppy Questioned Her Boyfriend.

"Haven't You Seen The Grinch? They'll Wake Up And Just Sing! Ya Know? Forget Everythiiiingggg, Juusssttt Siiiinnnggg~"
Branch Sung With His Falsetto Made Of Gold For A While.

Poppy Grabbed Branch By His Santa Suit.
"YOU DARE USE JUST SING IN VEIN-"

Branch Gently Took Poppy's Hands Off His Suit.
"Babe, Chill. What's Done Is Done! I Told You We Can Pull Off Being Santa And His Elf And A Wormy Reindeer! Right Mr. Dinkles?"

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Felt So Tired And Dead Inside, He Wished For A Giant Meteor To Crush Branch Into A Bloody Grusome Death Beyond Rated-R Standards.

"See! He's Proud On A WHOLEEE Other Level!"
Branch Said As He Took Off His Santa Hat.

Poppy Went Over To Mr. Dinkles And Gently Rubbed Him For Comfort.
"I'm So Sorry Mr. Dinkles, But Branch Just Has Gumdrops For Brains Right Now -.-"

"Poppy, It's Not Good To Talk About Yourself Like That! It's The Christmas Season Silly"
Branch Patted Poppy's Head Like A Child As He Chuckled.

"Annnnd My Patience Drops Lower.."
Poppy Said To Herself.

Branch Stared Up At The Big Everlasting Sack Of Stolen Decorations.
"Alright Now, Just What Am I Gonna Do With This Stuff Before Anyone Sees 🤔"

Poppy Stood Next To Her Boyfriend.
"Well You're Gonna Figure Something Cause I'm Not Helping You! Hmph!"

Branch Stroked His Chin Until He Thought Of Something.
"......Liiiiiiighttttbuuulllbbbb~ 💡"

~~~

~In Bergen Town~

Inside Of The Bergen Town Castle, King Gristle And Bridget, Along With Chad And Todd, Were All Sitting In Silence As They Didn't Know What To Do For The Holiday Season, Without Anything Decorations.

"Man This Bites! It's Holiday Time For Our Trollabration And We Have No Stinkin' Decorations!"
King Gristle Pouted On His Throne.

Bridget Patted Her Husband's Shoulder.
"Awe, Relax Grissyyyy, I'm Sure Something Will Drop In Comedically Timed-"

C R A S H !

Dropping In Comedically Timed, The Sack Of Holiday Decorations From Vacay Island That Poppy And Branch Stole Crashed Into The Ceiling Of The Castle Somehow, Blessing The Bergens With Seasonal Praise.

King Gristle And Bridget Gasped With Glee As They Held Hands.
"PRAISE THE MAGIC BOOT! 🗣 🥾"

Chad And Todd Came Together To Shout Out The Magic Boot Screech.
"OOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOOLOO! 🫨"

~~~

~In The Bunker~

Going Back Down The Elevator, Branch, Poppy, And Mr. Dinkles Returned To The Bunker As Branch Excitedly Rushed Back To His Vision Board To Resume His Final Planning For The Mission.

"EEEHEHEHEEE! Guys, We're 1 Operation Away From Bringing My Brothers Back For The Broliday! Are Ya Feeling The Christmas Spirit?!"
Branch Said Happily As He Took Off His Santa Claus Outfit.

"Oh Yeahhh Yeahhhh, I'm Feeling Something Alright.."
Poppy Rubbed Her Neck, Not Really Feeling It.

"Well I Hope That Feeling Is Adrenaline Cause We Have One Last Operation To Complete Tonight While The Snowy Night Is Young!"
Branch Said As He Went To His Vision Board.

Poppy's Eyes Widen, Taken Aback.
"ANOTHER OPERATION?!?! Branchieeee C'monnnn...We Just Spent This Whole Night Breaking Into Naked Muppet Sunbathing Creatures Homes And You Wanna Pull ANOTHER One?!?"

"CORRECTO MY QUEEN-OOO!"
Branch Replied As He Crossed Out Bruce's Photo On The Vision Board.

"Braaannnccchhh Pleaseeee I'm Tiredddd And It's Almost Close To Midnight! Can't We Just...I Don't Know...Spend The Rest Of The Night Cuddling And Drinking Hot Coco In Front Of A Cozy Fire?"
Poppy Suggested, With Hope.

"I Told You We'll Have Plenty Of Time For That Stuff AFTER We Succeed In The Mission!"
Branch Tapped His Chin As He Examined More His Vision Board.

"You're Not Even Looking At Me When Your Talking To Me! It's Really Starting To Feel Like You Rather Do This Mission Than Truly Spend Time With Me.."
Poppy Rubbed Her Hands Together.

Branch Immediately Turned Around To Face Poppy.
"What? No No! I Promise That's Not How I'm Making It Seem! I'm Sorry...Look, I Just...You Know...Wanna Make My Broliday Happen, And I Thought If You Came Along To Help, You'd Be My Comfort Spot"

Poppy Sighed To Herself.
"I'd Always Be Glad To Be Your Comfort Spot Branch But-"

"Then Please....Just This Last Final Operation Then It'll Be Our Broppy Time...Okay?"
Branch Placed His Hand On Poppy's Cheek, Sweetly.

Poppy Couldn't Help But Smile At Her Boyfriend, Trusting Him.
"Alrightttt Alrighttttt....Last One. And I'm Only Doing This Cause It Means This Much To You"

"Thanks Hun"
Branch Thanked His Girlfriend With A Warm Smile.

"So What Is This Last Operation?"
Poppy Asked Curiously.

Branch Booped Poppy's Nose.
"Glad You Asked! Cause It'sssss...SCARING THE SQUARE BALLS OFF OF JOHN DORY!"

Poppy Blinked Blankly From That.
"....Is Every Part Of His Body Square?"

"Nevermind That- But Yes, This Is The Last Operation! Back In The Day, John Dory Would Make The BIGGEST Snowmen Ever! And Since Now He Chooses To Do Snow Camping Out In The Winter Forest, If We Scare Him Enough Out Of The Forest, He'll Have No Choice But To Retreat Back To Pop Village And Do The Broliday!"
Branch Explained His Idea For The Operation.

"So You Wanna Scare Him Half To Death?"
Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow.

"EXACTLY!"
Branch Said Back To Poppy.

"Isn't That Usually Clay's Job?"
Poppy Wondered Curiously.

"Well Yes But Normally Clay Would Just Scare John FULL To Death. He'd Rather Kill John Better Done Than Perfect, Ya Know?"
Branch Replied Back.

Poppy Shrugged To Herself.
"Fair Point, What's The Plan?"

Branch Used His Pointing Stick On The Vision Board.
"If We're Gonna Scare The Eggnog Outta John Dory, We're Gonna Need A Scary Winter Beast To Give Him A Good Enough Fright! LIKE A DEADLY BLOODTHIRSTY WOLF! OR ABOMINABLE RABIES INFESTED SNOWMAN!"

Poppy Interrupted And Lowered Branch's Pointing Stick.
"Whoa Whoaaaa Baby Blue, I Said I Was In For The Plan, But If The Plans Ends On ACTUALLY Scaring John With A Menacing Beast Half To Death, Then I'm Out!"

Branch Gave Out A Sigh.
"Hhh- Fine -.- Then How About Something Cuter And Softer Likeee Uhhh.."

"A YETI!"
Poppy Shook Branch's Arm Rapidly, Thinking About An Adorable Yeti.

"A Yeti? Seriously?"
Branch Raised His Eyebrow.

"Whaaaat? They're Fluffy And ADORABLE! EEEEE! LIKE EVEREST!!"
Poppy Squealed Of Cuteness Thoughts.

"Poppy, In What Known Universe Are Yeti's Considered Adorable And Fluffy? That Falls In The Category Of Stitch"
Branch Crossed His Arms At Her.

"Maybe We Shouldn't Reference A Disney Movie Before They Own Us"
Poppy Whispered In Branch's Ear.

"Fair Point- BUT STILL! Yeti's Are Scary Beasts, Not Adorable! We're Trying To Scare John, Not Pleasure Him"
Branch Said To Her.

"Adorable Yeti- Take Or I'm Not Helping ✋️💅"
Poppy Said With Her Hand Up Like A Sassy Diva.

Branch Rolled His Eyes In Annoyance.
"Whatever! Fine! It Can Be An Adorable Yeti 😒"

"YAAAAYYY!"
Poppy Cheered As She Quickly Hugged Her Boyfriend.

"But We Still Need A Scary Quality About It That'll Make John Fearful Of It. Any Ideas Mr. Dinkles?"
Branch Asked Over At Mr. Dinkles.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Was Busy Eating A Bag Of Confetti, Trying To Swallow And Choke On It So He Can Pass Along To The Worm-Lords Hevaen.

Poppy Quickly Picked Mr. Dinkles Up And Patted The Confetti Out His Mouth.
"No Mr. Dinkles! As Colorful As Confetti Looks, We Do NOT Eat It! It Can Be Very Deadly To Choke On!"

Branch Immediately Brainstormed An Idea For The Yeti.
"THAT'S IT! 💡 BE RIGHT BACK! 🏃‍♂️💨"

As Branch Ran Off To Get Something, Poppy Stayed Behind In Awkward Silence Waiting Patiently, Until She Got The Urge To Pick Her Nose While No One Was Looking Or Around.

"👃
☝️"
Poppy Casually Picked Her Nose As She Waited By Herself.

"👁👄👁"
Mr. Dinkles Just Stared And Watched As Poppy Digged For Gold In Her Nose.

"I GOT ITTTT!"
Branch Shouted Out From Afar, As It Sounded Like He Was Returning Back.

"😳"
Poppy Immediately Wiped Her Pink Booger Off Her Finger And Acted Like Nothing Happened.

Branch Brought In His Chalkboard And Noticed Poppy Acting Casual.
"I GOT MY.....🤨.....Were You Just Picking Your Nose?"

"NO! I HAD AN ITCH ON THE INSIDE!"
Poppy Yelled At Her Boyfriend Embarrassed, As She Crossed Her Arms With A Cute Pout.

"Oooookie Doke- ANYBOOZLES! I GOT AN IDEA FOR THE YETI!"
Branch Grabbed Some Chalk And Began To Craft A Yeti Design Diagram.

"Which Issss..?"
Poppy Tried To Look Over Branch's Shoulder To Peak.

Branch Continued To Draw As He Spoke To Poppy.
"This Won't Just Be Any Ordinary Yeti, Oh Ho Hoooo No! This Yeti Will Have The Frightening Ability To ROAR Out Poisonous CONFETTI! I Give You...THE CONFETTI-YETI! ❄️🎊"

On The Chalk Board, Branch Revealed His Design Diagram For "The Confetti-Yeti", A Costume Design Idea For A Fake Yeti Who Roars Out Poisonous Confetti As It Chases You.

Poppy Gasped At The Concept.
"THE CONFETTI-YETI?!?!? Adorable Name- BUT POISONOUS CONFETTI?!? ARE YOU INSANE?!?!"

"YES! 🫵🤪, And Relax, It's Not Gonna Be Actual Poisonous Confetti- We'll Just Make John Dory THINK It Is! So All Left To Do Now, Is Build The Costume! Are Ya With Me?!"
Branch Nudged Poppy's Elbow.

Poppy Examined More Of The Design Concept, And Got More Worrysome.
"Are You Sure About This Plan? What If This Is The One That Truly Makes The Mission Backfire?"

"Highly Doubt Something With The Name Of cOnfEtTi-yEti Will Make This Ruin Everything. We Got This Poppy!"
Branch Ensured To His Girlfriend.

"Mmmm.."
Poppy Still Grew Doubts Of This Operation, Looking Away.

"Don't Worry, After This Mission, It'll Just Be Me, You, My Brothers, And The Broliday~"
Branch Held Poppy's Hand And Kissed It Lovingly.

Poppy Sighed And Nodded, The More She Looked At The Diagram.
"Yeah.....Hhh- I Hope You're Right.."

~Out In The Woods~

As It Reached Past Midnight, The Snow In The Forest Got More Heavy As He Came Down From The Sky, But That Didn't Stop One Troll With Goggles And His Armadillo Bus Companion.

Camping Out In The Cold Winter Snowy Woods, John Dory Made A Camp Site Deep In The Woods In The Snow, With Rhonda Being His Shelter, While He Would Continue His Training.

John Dory Used A Weight Bench Made Out Of Snow, To Lift Up 50 Pound Snowballs.
"C'MON JD! PUSH IT! UP DOWN! UP DOWN! UP DOWN!"

"THEN TO SNOW-UPS! HH! HH! HH!"
John Dory Breathed Heavily As He Moved On To Snow Versions Of Sit-Ups.

"AND BRING IT BACK DOWN! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!"
John Dory Got On The Ground To Do Push-Ups On The Snow.

John Dory Got Up And Flexed His Somewhat Muscles.
"WOO! YOU SEEN THAT RHONDA?! My Name Is John Dory, And I Am Too Much Of Glory! 💪 WELCOME TO THE SQUARE SHOW 💪 🟩"

Over Above On A Hill Nearby, Branch, Poppy, And Mr. Dinkles Watched John Dory Do His Snow Training, Using Binoculars To Make Sure John Dory Wouldn't Leave At Any Time.

"Look At Him....That Bulking Bag Of Wet Cubes With Goggles.."
Branch Said, Using His Binoculars.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Agreed As He Had On Binoculars, Wishing He Could Be Trapped In A Cube And Slowly Die To Madness.

"Alright, We Better Do This Before He Gets Exhausted From Working Out His Quote On Quote "Muscles" Or Whatever He Calls It"
Branch Shrugged, Taking Down His Binoculars.

"Don't Worry, Our Star Player Here Is Ready For Actionnnnn~"
Poppy Gestured At Their Creation.

Standing Tall And High, The Confetti-Yeti Costume Was Created And Ready To Be Used, As It Required Two Trolls To Operate It's Body To Make It Move And Run.

Branch Sniffed And Wiped A Proud Tear.
"It's Beautiful 🥹 🤧"

"By The Way, When You Told Me To Get The Glue For Some Of The Parts, I Used Frosting 😌"
Poppy Said With A Smirk.

"FROSTING?!?! A SOLVENT-BASED ADHESIVE?!? I SAID WE NEEDED POLYMERS POPPY! POLYMERS!"
Branch Yelled Out Loud At His Girlfriend.

"SHH! SHH! You Want Happy Meal Box Face Down There To Hear Us?!"
Poppy Covered Her Boyfriend's Mouth.

Branch Gently Pushed Off Poppy's Hand.
"Alright Fine, Fine, Whatever! I'll Be Mad About That Later, But Let's Just Get This Over With!"

"YAY!"
Poppy Squealed With That Allowance To Have Used Frosting Than Glue.

Branch Opened Up The Butt Of The Confetti-Yeti Costume To Enter.
"Alright, In! In!"

"Comingggg!"
Poppy Crawled Into The Confetti-Yeti Suit To Play As The Feet Of The Costume.

"Alright, Remember Your Cue Mr. Dinkles"
Branch Said As He Crawled Into The Confetti-Yeti Costume To Play As The Hands And Arms, And Head.

John Dory Wiped His Head As He Leaned Against Rhonda To Catch His Breath.
"Whoo! What A Rush, Eh Girl? Maybe Next I'll Try Snow Angles For Cardio"

"Alright Poppy, Ready?"
Branch Said As He Looked Down Below At His Girlfriend.

Poppy Struggled To Carry Branch On Her Back, As She Was The Feet Of The Suit.
"I-I-I-I Don't S-S-See Why I C-C-Couldn't Be The T-T-Top"

"Cause You're Too Gorgeous To Be The Head Of A Beast, Now Activate The Feet Stomps!"
Branch Instructed His Girlfriend.

S T O M P !

S T O M P !

The Sound Of The Confetti-Yeti Stomps Could Be Heard Across The Woods, As John Dory's Ears Twitched At The Sounds Of It, Getting Immediately Curious.

"Uhhhh Rhonda, Please Tell Me That Was Your Stomach And That You're Having Cravings-"
John Dory Said To Rhonda.

"-.-"
Rhonda Just Glared At Her Idiotic Owner, Thinking He Was Beyond Stupid To Think Those Stomps Were From Her Stomach.

Inside Of The Confetti-Yeti Suit, Branch Grabbed A Megaphone In His Hand, And Began To Fake A Loud Low Growl, In Order To Get John Dory's Attention To Turn Around.

John Dory Gulped As He Heard The Growl.
"Please Hope The Lord That Was Just Shrek Somehow Growling In Our Universe.."

As The Growling Progressed To Get Louder And Louder And Sounding Closer, John Dory Slowly Turned Around From Where He Was, To Finally Spot The Large Confetti-Yeti Standing Above Him On The Hill.

John Dory Was Taken Aback As He Saw The Confetti-Yeti.
"WHAT THE BEEJEEZUS IS THAT-?!?!?!"

In The Corner Of The Hill, Mr. Dinkles Shot Out A Paper Plane Towards John Dory, That Contained Information On The Whereabouts And Scary Things About A Confetti-Yeti.

📃 Info You Should Know
About A Confetti-Yeti:
RUN LIKE HELL CAUSE IT CAN ROAR OUT POISONOUS CONFETTI AND KILL YOUUUU!!
Thank You For
Your Understanding,
Have A Safe "Run-For-Your-Life"
Chase Sequence ♡ 📃

John Dory Casually Read The Paper.
"Well That Sounds...Highly Cinematic- BUT HOLY NUTMEG A YETI THAT ROARS OUT POISONOUS CONFETTI?!?!? RUN FOR IT RHONDAAAAAA!!!"

"ROOOOOAAAARRR 🎉 👹 ❄️
The Confetti-Yeti Let Out A Vicious Roar As Confetti Shot Out It's Mouth.

As John Dory Immediately Grabbed All Of His Belongings And Hopped Into Rhonda To Start Her Up And Drive Off Into The Snowy Woods, The Confetti-Yeti Ran After Rhonda To Chase Them, With Some Fitting Background Chase Music.

🎶 RUN RUN RHONDA! 🎶

🎶 SANTA'S GOTTA MAKE
IT TO TOWN! 🎶

With John Dory Driving Rhonda And Steering Her Throughout The Snowy Woods, The Confetti-Yeti Was Right On Their Trail As Poppy And Branch Operated The Suit From The Inside.

🎶 SANTA MAKE
HER HURRY! 🎶

🎶 TELL HIM, SHE CAN TAKE
THE FREEWAY DOWN! 🎶

🎶 RUN RUN RHONDA! 🎶

🎶 CAUSE I'M REELIN' LIKE
A MERRY-GO ROUND! 🎶

"RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! HHH HHH...GOSH THIS IS SO TIRING!"
Poppy Said As She Operated The Legs Of The Confetti-Yeti.

"KEEP AT IT POPIFUR! WE GOTTA REALLY SCARE JOHN OUTTA THESE WOODS!"
Branch Said Below To Poppy.

Poppy Was Out Of Breath, Breathing Heavily.
"HHH..HHH... DO YOU THINK HE'S ACTUALLY SCARED-"

"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT-MASSSS! 😰
John Dory Screamed Out In Fear As He Drove Rhonda Through The Woods, Hoping To Lose The Confetti-Yeti.

" 🐾 😄 🐾 "
Rhonda, However, Enjoyed The Chase And Purred As She Drove Through The Snow.

"C'MON GIRL! WE GOTTA LOSE THIS BEAST BEFORE WE GET COLORFULLY POISONED!"
John Dory Yelled As He Trembled On The Wheel Of Rhonda.

Branch Moved The Arms Of The Confetti-Yeti Proudly.
"THIS IS TURNING OUT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!"

Poppy Looked Through Her Binoculars Of The Suit, Noticing A Cliff Up Ahead.
"O_____O UHHH- BRANCH??"

"SHHH POPPY, I'M ENJOYING THIS DORYNESS TORTURE!"
Branch Said Below To Poppy.

"CLIIIIFFFFF!!!! 🫵"
Poppy Pointed Up Ahead, And Screamed Out Loud.

"CLIFF?!?!?!?!?!"
Branch Also Screamed Out As He Noticed The Cliff Up Ahead.

"Cliff?"
John Dory Said In A Casually Confused Way As He Just Now Seen The Cliff Up Ahead.

As Branch Pulled On The Lever To Stop The Confetti-Yeti From Moving, Rhonda Couldn't Stop In Time And Went Off The Cliff With John Dory.

John Dory Lost Control Of Rhonda As Both Fell Down The Cliff.
"CLIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFF....💥"

C R A S H !

Hopping Out Of The Confetti-Yeti Suit, Branch And Poppy Rushed To The Edge Of The Cliff To Check And Look Down Below To Make Sure John Dory Was Actually Alright.

"IS HE OKAY?!??!"
Poppy Said Concerned, Looking Down The Cliff.

"U-Uuuugghh.."
John Dory Groaned In Pain As He Twitched His Leg, Face Down In The Snow.

"Yeah, He's Movin-"
Branch Said In The Most Casual Way.

"Mew.."
Mr. Dinkles Let Out A Sighful Mew, Hoping That John Dory Didn't Make It Out Alive.

"Do You Think That Scared Him?"
Poppy Wondered To Herself.

Branch Put His Hands On His Hip, Thinking To Himself.
"Guess There's Only One Way To Find Out-"

"HAIII TROLL KINGDOM! I'm So Happy To Be Here Today And Give You The Scoop On-"

"-AHHH YES YES THANK YOU FOR THAT LEE, MOVING ON 😁"
Jonas Interrupted Lee's Introduction.

Lee Crosssed Their Arms And Let Jonas Speak.

Jonas Continued With The Report.
"Our Top Story This Morning: Snowy Beasts In The Woods Of Our Kingdom?? A Report From Local Blockhead Boyband BroZone Member John Dory Came To Us With This Story About A So-Called Confetti-Yeti. His Claim Is That Teh Furry Beast Chased Him Through The Woods And Was Able To Roar Our Poisonous Confetti! What's Your Input Lee?"

"Well Partner, It Gave John Dory Quite The Scare As We Have Audio Footage Of Him Apparently Screaming Like A Female, Take A Listen"
Lee Played The Audio Clip.

Audio Clip Of John Dory: "EEEEEAAAAAAAAAAEEEEAAAA-"

"BAHAHAHAAAAAA 🤣 Oh Man! Oh Man What A Card That Guy Is Huh? Get A Load Of Him Amrite? Surely Is One Of A Kind Of Stupidity-"
Jonas Wiped A Laughing Tear.

"I'm Sure You Can Relate As Well Partner 😁, ANYBOO! With This News Report Transferred Over To The Troll Kingdom Council, It Isn't Looking Good For The Christmas Season"
Lee Stated For The Report.

"Indeed Lee, Santa Claus Comin' To Town? Nahhhh, More Like Confetti-Yeti Is Comin' To Town! HA! Oh Man I'm Good"
Jonas Laughed Again To Himself.

"You And The Confetti-Yeti Also Share The Same Braincell By The Way-"
Lee Rolled Their Eyes.

"CORRECT! 🗣"
Jonas Yelled Out In Response.

"With This Beast On The Loose, It Might Be Safe To Say Holidays Are On Their Way To Cancelation- What Do You Think About That Jonas?"
Lee Asked Their Partner.

"Here's My Input, And Hear Me Clearly When I Say This- BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT!"
Jonas Slammed His Fists On The Desk.

"Jonas, We Don't Use That Language On The News Station-"
Lee Said To Their Partner.

Jonas Sang Randomly In A Symphony Angelic Voice Of A Dolphin. 🐬
"BUUUULLLSHIIIIIIT~ 😩✨️, And Ya Know Why It's Bullshit Partner?! CAUSE CHRISTMAS IS A BUNCH OF COMMERCIALIZED PROPERTY JUST FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO GET MONEY FROM SPENDING ON GIFTS AND 1-MONTH USE OF DECORATIONS-"

Lee Questioned Their Co-Host.

"WHICH IS WHY, I'M ROOTING FOR THE CONFETTI-YETI! YEEAAAAHHH! COME GET THIS CHRISTMAS ASS OF COMMERCIALIZED WATTPADISM CONFETTI-YETI! WHOOP WHOOP!"
Jonas Ripped Off His Suit, To A Shirt To Cheer On The Confetti-Yeti.

Lee Sighed Of Complete Embarrassment Of Their Partner.
"Hhhh...I Just Don't Know Anymore Jonas....I-I Just Don't Know-"

~In The Morning~

After Watching The Newscaster Report Of The Confetti-Yeti, All Of The Trolls In Pop Village Surrounded In A Circle As John Dory Told His Experience From Last Night.

"I SAW IT! IT WAS BIG! IT WAS ALLLLLL FURRY! AND IT ATE AT EVERYTHING!!!!"
John Dory Explained His Story In Exaggeration.

"😱😱😱"
All Of The Pop Trolls All Gasped At Their Horror Of John Dory's Story.

"THAT'S HORRIBLE! 😧"
Cooper Said As He Proceeded To Eat All Of The Breakfast On The Table.

"IT WAS...A CANADIAN 🇨🇦...FLORIDIAN 🌴...CONFETTI-YETI!!!!"
John Dory Screamed Out To The Pop Trolls.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!"
The Pop Trolls All Screamed In Horror From The Story Of The Confetti-Yeti.

"WHAT IF IT EATS ALL OUR DECORATIVE PAINTINGS?!?"
Harper Said As She Hugged Her Paintbrush.

"WHAT IF IT POISONS THE TROLLINGS HOMEWORK?!"
Gia Said, Sounding Worried.

"😉👍 😉👍"
Keith And Some Other Trollings Gave A Thumbs Up To That Idea.

"....Do I Need To Say It? 😰🍑"
Aspen Said As He Feared The Confetti-Yeti Would Attack His Ass.

As The Trolls All Murmured In Anxiety Of What The Confetti-Yeti Could Do To Them, Poppy And Branch Made Their Way Through The Crowd And Heard Everything.

"Ahhhh~ Ya Hear That Poppy? My Plan Scared John So Much He Got All The Locals To Fear It Too!"
Branch Said, With His Ear Twitching.

"Annnnd That's A Good Thing?"
Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow.

"Duhhh, It'll Make Everyone Feel Safer To Do The Broliday! It's All Coming Into Play 😌"
Branch Said Confidentally.

"But What If This Is A Backfire?!"
Poppy Shook Branch's Shoulders.

"Annnnd How Can That Be Possible?"
Branch Replied To His Girlfriend.

"WE SHOULD LOCK OUR DOORS!!"
Legsly Shouted Out A Suggestion.

"We Should Call My Nephew 👵"
An Old Lady Troll Suggested To Everyone.

"WE SHOULD BARRICADE THE VILLAGE WITH GLIIIIITTERRR"
Guy Diamond Vocalized His Suggestion In Auto-Tune.

"Good One Daddy!"
Tiny Diamond Cheered On His Father's Idea.

"WE SHOULD TAKE TROLL KINGDOM...AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE-"
Cooper Suggested One Of The Most Brilliant Ideas Ever.

"...."
All Of The Trolls Blankly Awkwardly Stared At Cooper For His Amazing Idea That Is Truly Smart.

"That Idea Might Just Be Crazy Enough....TO GET US ALL KILLED!!!"
Smidge Yelled At Cooper.

Poppy Quickly Went To The Center Of The Circle.
"WHOA WHOA Easy Guys! Okay Sureeeee You All Might Think There's A Yeti Out In The Forest That Roars Out Poisonous Confettiiiii Heh Heh...No Biggie Right?"

"No Biggie?! Poppy Seed, I Was Chased By It Last Night And It's Still Out There Somewhere! PROBABLY LOOKING FOR IT'S NEXT VICTIM TO COLORFULLY POISON!"
John Dory Said As He Shook Poppy's Shoulders.

".....Or Maybe It Just Wants A Hug? 😁"
Poppy Said With An Innocent Grin.

"I Say We Send Someone To HUNT THE BEAST! Aka Me 😌"
John Dory Suggested To The Crowd Of Trolls.

"YEAAHHH!! HUNT IT! HUNT IT! HUNT IT! HUNT IT!"
The Pop Trolls Agreed And Began To Chant.

"Hunt???"
Branch Said As He Thought That Was A Lil Extreme.

"No No Trolls! We Don't Hunt, That's Not How We Ever Do Things! We Make Peace. Besidessss, Who Knowsss Maybe John Dory Here Was Just Seeing Thingssss? Ehhhh?"
Poppy Told The Pop Trolls.

"Oh Yeah? Then How Do You Explain...THIS!"
John Dory Held Up A Piece Of Yeti Fur From The Costume.

"😱😱😱"
The Pop Trolls All Gasped Together In Sync At The Yeti Fur.

"Pffft, This? Really? We Have Cosplay Furries All Over The World And We Must Respect Their Attraction To It 😁"
Poppy Tried To Make Up On The Spot.

"Well When It Chased Me, After I Followed It's Tracks I Found A Bunch More Fur! So It Can Probably Still Be Out There! Watching 👁....Waiting ✋️...ˡᶦˢᵗᵉⁿᶦⁿᵍ 👂"
John Dory Raised And Twitched His Ear.

"Relaxxxx JD, And Everyone Too! I'm Sure Whatever This Beast Is Has Moved On And Left Far Away! There's No Way It Attacked Anywhere Else 😊"
Poppy Said With A Warm Ensured Smile.

"THE BEAST ATTACKED VACAY ISLAND!"
A Familiar Voiced Shouted Out As It Came Close To The Area.

"HUH?!?"
The Pop Trolls All Turned Around And Made Way For Someone.

Bruce Marched Up To The Pop Trolls, Looking Very Upset In Dad Mode.
"Attacked My Entire Tropical Home!"

Poppy Turned Her Attention Over To Bruce.
"Bruce?? What Do You Mean?"

"This Morning When My Family Woke Up, ALL Of Our Christmas Decorations And Presents Were GONE! As Well As The ENTIRE ISLAND'S DECORATIONS!!"
Bruce Explained To Poppy.

"😳 Ohhhh Um...Really? Heh.."
Poppy Tried Not To Look Guilty.

"Yes! The Disappointment And Sadness In My Family's Face And All Of Vacay Island....And After The News Report This Morning, We Came With A Theory That This So-Called Confetti-Yeti ATTACKED VACAY ISLAND!"
Bruce Added On.

"😬"
Branch Immediately Gained A Face Of Guilt On His Face, Feeling Maybe This Is The Backfire Poppy Was Mentioning.

"AH HAAAAA! YOU SEE! THIS BEAST STRUCK SOMEWHERE ELSE! NO WHERE IS SAFE!"
John Dory Said To Everyone.

"And No ONE Is Safe! Everyone Needs To Take Immediate Precautions Of This Creature Before A Future Attack!"
Bruce Suggested To Everyone In A Very Dad Strict Voice.

"YEAH!!!!"
All Of The Pop Trolls Yelled Out In Agreement To Bruce And John Dory.

Poppy Stepped Up Again.
"EASY EVERYONE PLEASE! I-I'm Sure What Happend Might've Just Been....A Mishap But We Shouldn't Let This Ruin Our Holidays! Right?!"

Suddenly, As Poppy Said That, The Big TV In Pop Village Turned On Loud And Bright For Everyone To Hear, As The Newscasters Had An Urget Emergency Report.

Newscaster Jonas On The TV: "Attention Troll Kingdom! We Return With A New State Of Emergency For This Report! We Just Got Word Of The Residents Of Vacay Island Claiming To Have Been Attacked By The Beast On The Loose, The Confetti-Yeti"

Newscaster Lee On The TV: "That Is Right Jonas, And From This New Report, It Has Gone Over To Each Tribal Leader Across The Kingdom Who Has All Claimed A Heartbreaking Decision But It's For The Best Of Our Troll Nation To Safe That....The Holidays Will Have To Be....Canceled This Year"

As That Statement Of The Holidays Now Being Declared As Canceled For All Of Troll Kingdom Due To The Confetti-Yeti Being On The Loose As Everyone Believes, Branch Instantly Got Hit With The Backfire He Was Dreading Would Happen To His Plans.

Branch Exclaimed And Cursed To Himself In Slo-Motion In Disbelief.
"O-H-H-H-H-H-H
