Chapter 2

Outside a small distance away from the house Barb was calling Riff an idiot. Riff somehow got his head stuck between tall strong flower stems that are close together and refuses to move! Barb stands in front of Riff and tries to push his head out but, it did not work at all! Riff doesn't even know how he got in this mess himself.

" Ow! Ow! Not narly! ", Riff complains in some pain.

Poppy,Branch,Val and Demo walks over to them just reaching them. Barb stops pushing when she notices her backup. Riff couldn't turn his head as he remained stuck. He hope someone was there to help so Barb won't accidentally kill him while helping him.

" What is going on? ", Branch asks seriously.

" This idiot somehow got his head stuck between the two flowers. ", Barb says blankly.

The Queen points to Riff with blank look on her face. Poppy and Val looked at Riff confused and wondering how it happened in the first place. Branch wasn't impressed as he slaps his forehead then pinched the bridge of his nose annoyed. Demo wasn't sure how to react to this.

" Let's just get this over with before I forget. ", Barb says unhappily.

They could either leave Riff or help. None of them would leave Riff like that even if they didn't the choice to help. Val and Demo are at Riff's left while Poppy and Branch stayed on the right. They use their hair to pull back the tough flowers slowly while Barb contunes to push Riff's head out! The flowers didn't allow them to pull them back very far but,luckily it just enough space for Riff to fall backwards onto the ground with his head finally free!

"Narly...", Riff comments.

The flowers hit back into each other without losing any petals as Branch,Poppy,Val and Demo had let go! As a result they accidentally fell onto each other onto the ground. Barb noticed their falls but,wasn't really worried about it. She was just glad at least to see Riff freed but,she knew he still had some stupidity left in him.

" Riff,if you get your head stuck like that again these four will be the only ones helping you. ", Barb threatens.

Noah and Peppy are watching at the house and had saw the whole scene. Peppy shakes his head as Noah laughed remembering the stupid things when was as young as them. Olivia is playing Peek - a - boo with Harmony inside. Harmony's laughter can be heard from inside the mushroom house.

Days later, the house had started taking shape. Everything was placed and setup. All of the moving boxes had been thrown away. The house still needed some more touches to it to make it more like an official home but, that will come in time. Barb, Riff, Val and Demo are still on Pop Village but, that cause they want to join the house warming party before they leave.

Poppy sits down her box of party supplies onto the coffee table in their living room. It is now next to the baby monitor. The coffee table stands in front of the couch which is joined by some new black leather living room chairs. There are some framed pictures on the wall, a new TV standing against the wall on a dresser. The TV is an replacement from Demo who broke their orginal TV while taking it out of the caterbus.

There are more additions to the room as well like a dining table at the once very empty looking space in the left side. It was Rosiepuff's old dining table and chairs which nobody bought so Branch and Poppy got them as a bonus. They kept the set since it was sentimental to the family even know they could easily bought a new one with their savings.

Branch walks down the stairs after putting Harmony down for her nap. It took him a while since she wanted to do was play. Poppy pulls out her old clipboard and clips her list for party to it. Just when the husband reaches the bottom of the stairs there is a knock on the door.

" Probably not Barb...", Poppy comments.

Barb never really knocks on their front door. She always just comes and makes herself at home just she did with their old apartment. Branch walks over to the door opens but, he didn't expect to see two random Pop trolls with a gift basket. The woman didn't seem happy while her husband had a friendly smile as he held the basket.

" Hey there. I'm Ben and this is my wife,Candice. We just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood. ",The male troll says friendly.

Candice looks at Ben with a disagreeing glare in her eyes. He made her come here to greet the new family. Candice doesn't know much about Rock trolls and the first few she met were just rude so now she thinks that the new family will be the same. Poppy joins her husband's side. There is a friendly smile on her face. Candice looks at Poppy like she was expecting her to seem less nice.

" You must the wife. ", Ben says friendly.

" I am. It's Poppy and you clearly have met my husband,Branch. ", Poppy jokes friendly.

" Do you guys want to come in?", Branch asks calmly.

Candice was hesitant but,Ben was sure that was overreacting. The Pop troll couple enter the house. Branch took the gift and takes it to the dining table. Ben was trying to be extra nice to makeup for Candice's stink eyes. They sit down on the couch as Poppy says down on one of the chairs.

" You have a really nice house. ", Ben says nicely.

" Thanks. It took us days to sort everything out. ", Poppy says honestly.

" May I ask you both a question about being a Rock troll?", Candice says blankly.

Poppy and Branch didn't see any problem with that. Branch stands next to the chair his wife is sitting on as her thumb touches her wedding ring. It was gold with a white heart stone. Branch's ring was just gold and simple.

" So I heard your having a house warming party and I was wondering if you are planning to destory the other mushroom houses. Are you?",Candice says rudely.

Ben looked shocked at his wife since she was being rude with what she was saying. Branch raises an eyebrow at her as Poppy looked at their guest with disbelief. Was she serious?

" What is that suppose to mean?", Branch says seriously.

" I'm sure she didn't mean to be rude. It's just Rock trolls have a reputation of being very destructive and Candice only met a few Rock trolls who were being destructive at the time. ", Ben says trying to defuse the situation.

Poppy and Branch looked at each other then back at their guests. Ben was mentally praying that they weren't offended. He didn't want the new neighbors to upset with them. Luckily for Ben and Candice the Rockers decided to let it slide.

" We aren't going be destroying anybody's houses. Rock trolls are not that destructive. Whoever you met was probably just pissted off about something. ", Branch says blankly.

" If you want you can come to the party. As long as you don't look at us with that stinkeye so much and don't be rude to us about being Rock trolls we won't have a problem with you. We are just trolls like you. ", Poppy says honestly.

" And don't ask questions like that. ", Branch adds.
