A\N : Heyyyy!! So these are scenes that didn't make it into some of my short stories :3 Im not going to use them for anything else, so I might as well show them to y'all ^^

Alternate scenes to my short story ~We'll Face It Together~ inspired by xxEjwxx 's broppy short story ^^ (All the scenes in this chapter)

Note : There is ONE deleted scene I forgot to save, so it won't be in here unfortunately.

Scene 1 : Cannonball's Entrance. This was a scene I had in mind as the way Cannonball entered the hospital, but after a lot of thinking and struggles, I realized it wouldn't work. Word Count : 387

Confetti suddenly exploded from Esmerald's hair, followed by a familiar voice. "VICTORY!! HAIL THE TRUMPETS!!"

Ember immediately got spooked by the loud noise and went back to hugging Ocean.

Misty stared at Esmerald. "Why did your hair just shoot confetti and talk?"

"I have no idea-" Esmerald held her breath hoping that it wasn't what she thought.

Unfortunately, her thoughts went away after Cannonball, a squirrel friend, hopped out covered in confetti. "Hello folks! What's happening?"

Misty stepped away, startled by what she saw and heard. "I am in the presence of a talking squirrel...I am in the presence of a talking squirrel..." Was all she kept repeating.

"Correction!" Cannonball exclaimed. "You're in the presence of a talking, famous squirrel!"

"How does that make it better???" The doctor was flabbergasted. "Well, Esmerald can fill you in on what's wrong with Ember. I would, but I think I'm going crazy..." She casually walked out the room repeatedly hitting her head.

The squirrel climbed down Esmerald's head and on to her hand, looking rather confused. "Weird. It's like she's never seen a famous talking squirrel before." He shrugged and looked around. "Now how is it that everytime I show up it's always in a hospital?? Just once can't I show up with y'all at an acorn convention??"

"Uh no." Esmerald told him. "I don't even know how you got in my hair to begin with."

"I'll never tell." Cannonball rubbed his paws together and smirked.

Ember continued to cry as she hugged Ocean. Her father hugged her back. "Hey everything's okay Emmy. Please don't cry."

Cannonball saw her. "Ah so she's the newest member of your family! It's shocking that she's been alive for four months and this is the first time I get to meet her! But no worries! I'm the king of making trolls laugh!"

Esmerald face palmed. "Please don't..."

The squirrel didn't listen to her and climbed on Ocean's hair to get a better look at Ember. "Hello!"

Ember continued to cry in fear as she hugged Ocean tighter. Her father started to get worried, hoping that she wouldn't have trouble breathing again.

"Cannonball can you please stop??" Ocean asked him. "Em has already had a hard time breathing and crying isn't going to help much...!"

Cannonball slumped over, seeming disappointed. "I didn't know that..."

Scene 2 : Ocean's Dream. Originally, I made this scene as part of a dream Ocean had. However, I decided that a nightmare would've been more dramatic so I cut this scene out of ~We'll Face It Together~ and instead used it as inspiration for my short story ~Our New Addition~ Word Count : 928

Ocean looked very perplexed as Esmerald led him to the troll tree in Trollstopia - the tree was where all troll eggs stay at until they hatch. He took mental notes of how nervous his wife two years seemed on the walk. Esmerald's light purple eyes were darting in different directions and she zoned out everytime he asked her something.

"Why are we here...?" He asked his wife. "Is one of our royal assignments to take care of all these eggs?"

"Technically yes. Don't worry though cause I already took care of it, but I was here I did notice something that I know you should see...Just don't get mad..." Esmerald began looking more nervous as she led him through the tree.

Ocean frowned seeing how worried she looked, but still looked confused. "Why would I get mad? The last time I got a little mad at you was when we were sixteen. That was eight years ago and I have no intention of getting mad at you again."

Esmerald stopped in the middle of a part of the troll tree Ocean had ever seen before. "I k-know. I'm just k-kinda nervous about this...it's not s-something really s-small l-like that a-argument we had right years ago...I think it's amazing, but I'm a-afraid t-that this could l-lead to a-another fight..." She sat down and frowned.

Ocean frowned concerned, but still confused as he sat beside her. "Look at me." He tilted her head up gently so they were eye to eye. "You don't need to be scared. Whatever this is, whether it's good or bad, we can get through it together just like we always have. Okay?"

Esmerald sighed heavily and nervously. "O-Okay..." She was about to tell him when a flying egg came up to them and started to fly around them.

"T-That's new..." Ocean looked at it with wide eyes. "I did not know that was possible..."

"Technically it is, but it's u-uncommon." Esmerald explained.

"Okay then...wait- why is it only flying around us...? You'd think that with that gift you'd wanna fly everywhere you were allowed to go."

"Not e-exactly..." Esmerald trailed off as the egg sat in front of them.

"Hey check this out! It's got something written on it..." Ocean picked up the egg gently to look at. He read the information he saw aloud. "Gender : unknown, name : unknown, Royal trolling, parents : E-Esmerald F-ForestFlower S-Seanbrine and O-Ocean S-Seabrine..." He stared at the egg for a bit to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Still in shock he turned and faced Esmerald.

"Surprise...?" Esmerald smiled a little nervously and did jazz hands. When she saw her husband face seeming frozen with the shocked look, she looked down and frowned. "I k-know this is n-new and I k-know your probably f-furious but-" she was interrupted by Ocean's lips pressing against hers. Stunned, she kissed him back.

When he broke the kiss, she could see some tears in his eyes. "I d-didn't think you'd be so m-mad you'd c-cry." She frowned even more.

"Mad?? I'm not mad or sad!"

Esmerald looked up. "Then why are there t-tears in y-your eyes...?"

"Because I'm so happy right now!" He exclaimed with joy and hugged her. Esmerald wore a look of shock and happiness as she hugged him back.

"You have no idea how happy this makes me." Ocean told her in a shaky, yet happy whisper.

Esmerald smiled and hugged him back. "It makes me even more happy."

"It makes me happy too and it's not even mine!" The two heard a familiar voice. "C'mon out Cannonball."

Right after they said that, one of the best friends, a squirrel named Cannonball, climbed down a tree branch and landed on Esmerald head. He smiled nervously. "Oh hey y'all! What a coincidence! Two trolls and their famous squirrel friend at the same time!"

His attempting to lie wasn't working.

"Why do you have cameras?" Esmerald asked him.

"Would you believe Luna invited me to the Trollstopia news station?" Cannonball continued smiling nervously.

"Well yes. Yes we would, but what kind of news can be found over here?"

"Stuff like you and lover boy finding out you're going to be parents." Cannonball smirked. He pulled out a giant white board. "And because of that I have prepared a long list of names!"

"We don't know the gender yet." Ocean told him. "How are we supposed to pick a name not knowing that?"

"Easy fix!" The squirrel exclaimed. "You can name them after me! Having my name will get that kid mad respect!" He put on sunglasses.

"I have heard a lot of bad names in my lifetime, but that is now in the top two." Esmerald rolled her eyes.

"How dare you! Being named after a famous squirrel would be perfect!"

"Would it...?" Esmerald gave an unenthused look.

Ocean ignore them and stood up to go look at the board. His light green eyes scrolled across until he found two names he liked. One for a girl and one for a boy.

Meanwhile Cannonball was still arguing with Esmerald. He pointed at his board. "If you would look here you would see that my name divided by the amount of fame I have and the square root of four, equals the advantages of naming your kid after me!"

Esmerald face palmed. "You know I hate math! Give it up already!" She whined.

Scene 3 : Helping Ember Say 'Mama.' This was a scene I added because at the time it was close to Mother's Day and I wanted it to have something to do with Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I also had mentions of Easter as well, so in the end I decided not to mention any holidays in the story because it was getting so confusing. Word Count : 690

"Okay Ember, your father has asked me to help you say 'Mama'!" Cannonball pointed to a long complicated board he brought into the hospital room. "Now as you can see from this chart, in order to SAY 'Mama' you have to UNDERSTAND your Mama!"

Ember sat on her bed and tilted her head one way, clearly confused. Ocean sat in a chair next to her and looked just as confused as she was. "Even I don't understand what that means-! I'm started to regret asking for your help-"

The light blue troll wanted to teach Ember how to say 'Mama' to surprise Esmerald because after two weeks of being in the hospital the only word their daughter would say was 'Dada'. He thought that if Ember could say 'Mama' before leaving, it would make Esmerald beyond happy. Because of this, he enlisted the help of Cannonball, a squirrel in Trollstopia who was one of their friends. Unfortunately Cannonball was a bit self absorbed and took helping his ships very seriously! So serious that he brought a white board into Ember's hospital room and covered it with information about Esmerald in order to help.

"Well you wanted my help, you got my help!" Cannonball told him. "Personally I'm a little surprised that she can say 'Dada' but can't say 'Mama'."

"I am too, but I don't see how this is gonna help her-" Ocean told him. "If I can't even understand it, how is she supposed to??"

"Oh trust me, this is carefully thought out in the best way for teaching a four month old!" Cannonball told him with full confidence. "Quick question : how long until Es comes back?"

His light blue friend shrugged. "I dunno?"

Esmerald had left to go finish the final arrangements of the Easter egg hunt. She was going to come back and help get Ember ready after she finished.

"Well I'll keep going til I hear the door open. After that it's every squirrel for themselves!" Cannonball declared and pointed a pointer at a picture of Esmerald. "Now Ember, if you look here you would see that ten times eighteen divided by the square root of twenty five equals the amount of time your mom spends reading."

Ember tilted her head once more, still not understanding.

"See? She doesn't understand what your telling her! Frankly I can't even understand it!" Ocean covered his face in frustration.

Ember giggled and covered her face after seeing her father do it.

"Nutmeg, Raider, and Sassy did!" Cannonball stated defensively. He was married to a galaxy squirrel named CeCe and the two had three children.

"They are your children! Of course they'd understand that!"

"Do you want her to say 'Mama' before Es gets back?" Cannonball asked.

Before Ocean could even answer, Esmerald knocked on the door from outside.

"Quick! Hide everything!" Ocean frantically told Cannonball.

"What do you think I'm doing??" The squirrel opened a window and pushed the board he brought with him out. The board make a loud crash as it hit the ground. "Oh boy Branch is gonna kill me for taking that!" His face went pale as he jumped outside and landed on the board. "OW THAT HURT SO BADLY-!!"

Ocean quickly stood up, shut the window, and pulled the curtains over it just as Esmerald opened the door and walked in. She raised an eyebrow. "I feel like I missed something important..."

"Important?? What's important??" Her husband stood in front of the window smiling nervously.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Esmerald asked.

"What?? No! Why would you think that??" Ocean turned to peak out the window, praying Cannonball had gotten away. He saw the crushed board on the ground but didn't see the squirrel.

Esmerald was staring at him suspiciously. "Come to think of it I don't think I wanna know what your hiding." She turned and walked to Ember's bed. "Now Em, I know your just learning to talk but can you tell Mama what Dada was doing in here?"

Ocean heard her. "Hey you said you didn't wanna know!"

"And you believed me?" Esmerald snickered. "C'mon you know me better that."

Scene 4 : Short Father Daughter Moment. This was a scene I was going to add to ~We'll Face It Together~ as cute father daughter scene between Ocean and Ember. However, I ultimately decided on the inhaler scene because I felt it would give people a (somewhat dramatic) idea on how much life has changed for Esmerald, Ocean, and Ember. This scene starts with Cannonball losing his mind and is very short. Word Count : 137

Ember smiled happily and moved around the screaming squirrel with no problem. "Now I go out!" She exclaimed and tried crawling out the door. "Bye bye, Dada!" She told Ocean as she pulled the door a little.

Her father laughed a little as he walked over to her and gently picked her up. "Where exactly do you think you're going?"

Ember started wiggling, trying to get out of his grip. She pointed to the door. "I go out Dada!"

"Emmy, you know you can't wander away from Mama or Dada." Ocean told her firmly. "It's dangerous to do that."

"How?" Ember asked, not understanding.

"Well, for one thing Mama and Dada wouldn't know where you are and that would scare us."

"I no try to scare Mama and Dada. I try to see everything." Ember frowned shamefully.

A/N : Alright, that's all the alternative scenes I have for ~We'll Face It Together~ ! Hope you enjoyed reading them! :3

If you had to pick, which scene would you have wanted to see in the story? ^^

And do you think any of these scenes (aside from scene 2) would be good inspirations for other short stories? If so, which scene(s)? :3

Alright, I'm gonna go work on some arts and find motivation for writing lol.

I can't believe today is the last free Friday I'll ever get from school :'( School for me starts next week. I'm a little excited about it, but also nervous. Also with school going back for me, obviously stories updates are gonna be slow now.

Anywho bye now :')
