The title of this chapter is a reference to a video made by Opefulee just look for a video called the Rhonda song

Viva climbed up the mountain to get away from all troll kind  

Here you go people so you don't hate me 

https://youtu.be/moSFlvxnbgk

Then in the mountains Poppy was still looking for Viva 

Poppy: VIVA VIVA Viva it's me Poppy your sister who didn't mean to make you freeze the summer I just want to say that I'm sorry and it's my fault 

Poppy: *thinking* why didn't Cloud Guy tell me that Viva had ice powers or even why was she hiding it from me

But then a sound spooked the beetle and it flung her off and flew away 

Poppy: no wait come back

She then continued her journey on foot (which properly sucks since trolls don't wear shoes) which was difficult since she was still in her ballgown 

Poppy: why does Viva's ice powers have to be snow related why couldn't she have more tropical powers it's fits her more and I would be walking on warm sand and *she then sees a light* fire

But then she slipped and fell into a small river and makes it to a small shop with a sauna 

Shopkeeper: hello how may I help you 

Poppy: do happen to have winter clothes anywhere 

Shopkeeper: the winter stuff is right in that corner 

Then Poppy goes to where the winter stuff is and decides to ask if he had seen Viva 

Poppy: have you seen anyone like I don't know the queen pass by here

Shopkeeper: the only person who is crazy enough to be out in this blizzard is you 

Then as soon as the shopkeeper said that then another troll appeared he was already prepared for the winter and he was grey with most of his face being obscured by his bandanna and the snow with the only thing that Poppy noticed about him was his bright blue eyes and he walks up to her

Shopkeeper: you and this fellow how may I help you 

Branch: carrots 

Poppy: 😐 

Branch: behind you

Then Poppy realizes what the grey troll meant and moved so he can get the carrots 

Shopkeeper: looks like you were in a lot of snow where were you coming from 

Branch: the north mountain 

Poppy: *thinking* the north mountain maybe that's where Viva went I need to see if this grey troll can help me

Then when he got the last of the things he went to purchase the stuff 

Shopkeeper: okay that will be forty 

Branch: forty I only have ten 😠

Shopkeeper: well this is winter stuff so there might be a supply and demand problem 

Branch: do you want to talk about a supply and demand problem I sell ice for a living 😠

Poppy: that is a rough business to be in right now that's really unfortunate 

Shopkeeper: if you want you can take some time in the sauna with my family *he then looks at his family* hi family 

Shopkeeper's family: 👋👋👋👋👋👋😃 🧖 🧖‍♀️🧖

Branch: but ten is all I got 

Shopkeeper: it's only good for the carrots and no more 

Poppy: so you have been to the north mountain did it seem magical 

Branch: *takes off the bandanna finally showing Poppy his face* yes and now back off while I deal with this crook here

Shopkeeper: what did you call me 😡

Then the grey troll was thrown out of the shop (literally) and he landed in the snow 

Shopkeeper: bye  bye👋 *walks back inside*

He is then met by his pet swag stag

Branch: no I didn't get anything 😒 but I did find a place for us to sleep and it's free *looks at a stable*

Back inside 

Shopkeeper: I'm sorry that you had to see that miss so just the outfit 

Poppy: um 

Meanwhile in the stable

The song ends abruptly by the arrival of Poppy who is now in a more practical blue dress and a magenta cloak 

Poppy: nice duet 

Branch: what do you want princess 😒

Poppy: I want you to take me to the north mountain 

Branch: I don't take people places 😒 

Poppy: I figured you would say that 

She then throws at him the pickaxe and rope that he was trying to purchase 

Poppy: so now will you take me up the north mountain 

Branch: fine we leave at dawn plus you forgot the carrots for Gary

Poppy then tosses the bag of carrots at him

Poppy: we leave right now

Then Poppy rides on a sleigh that runs on Gary the swag stag with the grey troll who she learns is named Branch

Branch: I hope you don't mind we like to go fast 

Poppy: I like fast *puts her feet on the deck of the sleigh* 

Branch: get your feet off of there were you raised in a barn *proceeds to clean the deck*

Poppy: no I was raised in a castle 

Branch: so what made the queen go ice crazy 

Poppy: it's my fault I got engaged and she freaked out because I just met him that day and she said she wouldn't bless the marriage and 

Branch: hold on your telling me to you got engaged to someone who you just met that day

Poppy: yes pay attention then I got mad and she got mad then she tried to walk away and I grabbed her glove

Branch: you seriously telling that you got engaged to someone you just met that day

Poppy: yes anyway but the thing was that Viva was wearing those gloves the whole time and I thought she just had a thing with dirt

Branch: didn't your parents ever warn you about strangers 😳

Poppy: yes they did but Creek is not a stranger 

Branch: oh really then what is his last name 

Poppy: of the Southern Isles

Branch: favorite food 

Poppy: sandwiches

Branch: best friend's name 

Poppy: probably John 

Branch: eye color 

Poppy: dreamy 😍

Branch: but you hadn't gotten the time to get to know him what if you don't like how he eats what if you don't like the way he picks his nose 

Poppy: picks his nose 🤨

Branch: and eats it 

Poppy: he is a prince 

Branch: all men do it 

Poppy: eww anyway it doesn't matter it's true love

Branch: it doesn't sound like true love to me 😒

Poppy: do you happen to be a love expert 

Branch: no but I know people who are 

Poppy: oh you happen to know people who are love experts 🙄

Then Branch's ear twitches and he shushes Poppy and looks around and then he immediately has Gary pull them faster away from the danger that he just heard
