~Everywhere~

Princess Poppy stayed up late that night. She had, had trouble sleeping for the past few weeks. She had someone on her mind. She never really knew this troll, they were just in her mind and strangely couldn't get out. Just the thought of this troll made Poppy's heart race. But she continuously tried to stop thinking about this troll she never even met before, but she failed. It was hopeless.

Poppy face planted on a pillow and sighed.

"How on earth do I get him out of my head!!!" She screamed into the pillow.

"Looks like someone's in love..." A voice said behind her.

Surprised, Poppy lifted her head and looked behind her to gaze at this troll, but only to find out that it was just her dad.

Poppy then started blushing madly, "Am not!"

"Then why are you thinking about this troll?" Peppy said with a smirk.

Poppy sighed, "I don't know- I don't even know them!"

"Must be destiny then~" Peppy said, starting to leave the room, but then he stopped, turning around again, "Do you know what this troll looked like?"

Poppy nodded, grabbing out a piece of paper and a pencil. She began to draw the troll from memory (Note: It was very easy because she'd seen him millions of times before). Once she was done, she handed the drawing to her father.

Peppy squinted at the drawing but then shook his head, drawing a blank.

"Nope- I've never seen this troll anywhere in the village..." Peppy admitted.

Poppy sighed, disappointed.

"Maybe he isn't real..." She said.

"Well don't give up hope! He could be out there somewhere!" Peppy encouraged.

Poppy smiled, "Thanks dad~"

Peppy then left the room and Poppy sighed, resting her head on the pillow. She just stared at her wall. It was late at night and she was tired. But she knew that if she slept, she'd vision him again. She'd been losing sleep by the day. She liked seeing him, not to lie, but it was starting to take away her sleep. Then, everything started to become a blur as Poppy yawned. Then, her eyes became so heavy that she couldn't keep them open anymore. Her eyes then came to a close as she started to drift off to sleep...

There he was.

The mysterious trolls from her dreams, Sitting there, Smiling sweetly at her.

Poppy started to blush and she started to feel butterflies. She smiled shyly at the troll in front of her as he raised his eyebrow.

Then he came closer to her to check if she was okay. Poppy started to blush madly and then...

She woke up again...

Poppy crossed her arms, she was losing sleep. Then she just sighed, she had to let out her feelings. She started to hear a beat and then she started to sing...

~Turn it inside out so I can see...~

~The part of you that's drifting over me...~

Poppy sighed as she watched the troll float over her and land in front of her, smiling. She then walked past him, sighing.

~But when I wake you're....~

~You're never there...~

~But when I sleep you're...~

~Everywhere...~

~You're everywhere!~

Poppy started walking through the moonlit and quiet village, trying to get rid of the ghost of the troll in her dreams. The troll came up to her a second time and she blushed a little, pushing him away angrily.

~Just tell me how I got this far...~

~Just tell me why you're here, and who you are!~

~Cause every time I look, you're never there...~

~And every time I sleep, you're always there...~

The troll watched her leave sadly, wondering what he'd done wrong. He just wanted to care for her!

~Cause you're everywhere to me!!~

~And when I close my eyes...~

~It's you I see!~

~You're every thing I know that makes me believe...~

~I'm not alohhh- oh woah woah ohhhn~

~I'm not alone!~

Poppy started to walk out of the village and into the forest (Where Branch's bunker had been) and the troll started to panic.

~I recognize the way you make me feel...~

Poppy started to feel butterflies and she shivered.

~The touch think that you might not be real...~

~But since that now the water's getting deep...~

~I try to wash the pain away from me...~

~Away from me...~

Poppy started to wander even deeper in the forest, the worried troll following her helplessly.

~Cause you're everywhere to me!!~

~And when I close my eyes...~

~It's you I see!~

~You're every thing I know that makes me believe...~

~I'm not alohhh- oh woah woah ohhhn~

~I'm not alone!~

Poppy then ended up wandering out of the forest and she came to a cliff and sat on the edge. She sighed and watched the stars. The troll then floated in front of her, signaling her to go back. She sighed, annoyed. She felt like she couldn't put up with this anymore. Then the troll sighed, drifting over to her side and sitting down next to her. He'd given up...

~When I touch your hand...~

~It's then I understand...~

~The beauty is within...~

~So now that we begin...~

Poppy started to smile.

~You always light my way!~

~Hope there never comes a day...~

~No matter where I go...~

~I always feel you so...~

Poppy stood up and stared at the stars, smiling, feeling tears come to her eyes at the same time.

~Cause you're everywhere to me!!~

~And when I close my eyes...~

~It's you I see!~

~You're every thing I know that makes me believe...~

~I'm not alohhh- oh woah woah ohhhn~

The troll smiled and lifted himself up into the sky, dancing among the stars.

~Cause you're everywhere to me!!!!!~

~And when I catch my breath-!~

~It's you I breathe...~

~You're every thing I know that makes me believe...~

~I'm not alohhh- oh woah woah ohhhn~

Poppy then sighed sadly, sitting back down. The troll, confused, sat down next to her, looking at her.

~You're everyone I see...~

~So tell me...~

Poppy looked into the troll's eyes sadly.

~...Do you see me...?~

Then, the troll dissapeared and Poppy sighed, starting to cry. She rested her head in her knees. It was hopeless... Perhaps this troll didn't exist after all...

Then...

Poppy's ears twitched as she heard a sound behind her. She gasped and turned around, surprised, worried and confused. Then, she saw an unfamiliar troll. He'd been carrying a bunch of sticks. He was also gray.

"AHH-" The troll screamed, just noticing Poppy "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?!"

"Princess Poppy~ Who are you?" Poppy said.

"I'd rather not share my name..." The troll said firmly.

Poppy had the strange butterfly feeling around this troll like she did with the ghost. It was really confusing. The Princess then tried to piece this whole thing together. She looked at this troll and then she thought about the ghost troll she'd been thinking about. Then she gasped...

It was him.

She smiled at him, practically crying.

She then ran to him and threw her arms around him, feeling the butterflies strongly. She cried over his shoulder and hugged him tightly. The troll started to blush as the Princess hugged him. It was something about the presence she gave. The sweet scent of flowers and her over all beautiful appearance made him feel all fuzzy inside. Unsurely, he hugged her back, making her hug him even tighter.

When they parted, Poppy cried, "I can't believe it! I actually found you!!!"

"Finally? How did you hear about me?!" The paranoid troll asked, worried that someone had given her his hiding spot.

"I continuously had these dreams about a strange troll, causing me to lose sleep. The troll was super handsome and I wanted to meet him. But i started to lose hope and thought that he wasn't real but here he is! You!!" The Princess admitted, smiling proudly.

This made Branch blush. Handsome??? he thought. He gazed into the pretty Princess's beautiful eyes, losing himself. Poppy had done the same for a moment.

Then, Poppy snapped out of it, asking, "So- what's your name?"

The troll smiled sweetly, "Call me Branch."
