It's the fanfiction's ''trailer'' ;)) If you look at it, you can have fun doing theories! (spoiler alert)
-------------------
Two days had passed since Trolloween's holiday. Poppy was sitting on a stool in the pod of Satin and Chenille. The twins were still arguing over the motive they had to put on the strange thing the princess had asked them to make. The pink troll did not tell them what it was; a protesis for Hairless's tail.
Two days ago, the night of Trolloween, she and her father were going to see Branch ... the surprise had been big when the King had asked gray troll service ... and this service he has ...
Accepted.
Poppy shook her head, Branch had surely seen an opportunity to show him something about monsters. So, she had followed him to his bunker, the two Trolls had established a planning quickly and were each returning home, rather uncomfortable. But hey, now she was going to see him all before midday. All he had to show her for now ...
- Hang your Jacket.
- Uh ... I don't know if you remember but, my father asked you to teach me defense techniques ... not to teach me to hang my coat on the branch of a tree .. .
Still, she hung her jacket on the oak branch.
- Take off your jacket, ordered the gray troll. He was lying in a hammock.
- Branch ...
- The King asked me to give you defense classes. That's what I do. I am the teacher and you do not have the right to criticize my way of teaching.
She had sighed, and continue the same thing all before noon.
- Spirals, it would be prettier! Protest Chenille again.
- No! Lightning gives a more energetic appearance! Satin shouted.
- Girls, I don't care about the spirales or the lightning , you know? As long as it's practical and it looks like what I want ...
Satin had already started sewing lightnings in the green fabric. Chenille turned to her, smiling.
- Pratical? I think I heard Branch! She laughed, Poppy felt her cheeks warm up, knowing who she was thinking about two seconds ago ...
- All these past afternoon with this grumpy, you must have fun! Satin added, winking at him.
-Well ... for the moment, he shows me the forest instead ... did you finish?
The twins showed her their work to finish; they had cut out the giant green leaf so that it looks a lot like the tail fin of the NightFury. The pale green lightnings that had added Satin gave a beautiful appearance! As Poppy had asked them, they had to add two belts so that the pink troll could attach it to Hairless's tail. Poppy smiled and took the prosthesis in her hands, a big smile on her lips.
- You still do not tell us what it's going to serve you ... Chenille commented.
- It's ... uh ... It's for ... actually it's for a friend and he did not tell me what it's for ...
Satin looked puzzled, the princess rose quickly to avoid further questions and Chenille laughed:
-Will quickly join him or he will be pulled off the other ear!
It took her just a moment to understand who they were talking about ... it was true, she had to go join Branch to be supposed "defense course". She went to carry the prosthesis to her pod and ran into the forest. It was strange to admit it, but she liked his company.
I think I would be able to endure his sarcasm for a long time, she thought with a smile.
* * *
Branch opened the door of his bunker, he groaned as he noticed the gray cloud in the sky. He was surely going to rain for his class with Poppy. Are you wondering why he had to accept this task in addition to his planning? Well ... it was said that he could teach her survival skills so she could stay safe.
- Branch!
The pretty pink troll came towards him, a big smile on her face. Branch felt a purr that wanted to be heard tickling his throat, but he had finally managed to control them. He grabbed a scarf he had knitted yesterday and joined her under a mushroom.
- Good morning? She asked with a happy air.
- As usual ... follow me, the gray troll added, pushing back a frozen frond.
After thet walked for a few minutes silently towards the oak tree, a heavy rain came crashing down on his head, Poppy immediately took an umbrella out of her hair and opened it. The rain fall out and in a few seconds Branch found himself soaking, his hair falling on his shoulders.
- Ugh! He shouted, spreading his hair in front of his face.
Poppy burst out laughing and the rain suddenly stopped, she had come close to him to protect him with her umbrella. The two trolls were so close that their shoulders were rubbing.
-What did today do? The pink troll asked as he chased the water away from his black hair.
- As usual, he growled.
Poppy sighed, only then did the trollagon realize she didn't have her jacket.
-Where is your jacket?
-I don't have it, and if we had a little fun today?
She gave him the umbrella and jumped into the puddles like a 7-year-old. Branch watched her, still holding the umbrella over his head. He stepped aside just in time to avoid a jet of silvery water droplets.
She took off him the umbrella and threw it away. The rain crashed on his shoulders and on his hair, well trained this time. Branch raised an eyebrow with an intrigued look. His "Hairless" side wanted to have fun with her, but the other one forced him to stay there to watch her, without moving. Poppy threw him another assault of cold rain drops on his feet, while removing her headband in her hair. She threw it on a blue mushroom and returned to the gray troll who winced in disgust because of the rain, The princess sighed and grabbed his hands to lead him into a puddle.
- Seriously, Poppy ... Branch started.
Poppy threw him more drops of rain, this time, Branch could not resist his dragon side ... He kicked in the cold water and Poppy received water on her already soaked dress. The two trolls started to drop raindrops frozen, Poppy laughed like a child and Branch, who had not even noticed, was smiling.
Poppy loved this smile. It was the first time she had seen a sincere Branch's smile.
I would like to see it so much more often.
The rain began to subside, and to her surprise, it gave way to the first snow of the year. Her companion sat down on a mushroom and watched the snowflakes fall gently on the branches of the oak.
-I'm going to have to stock up, winter has just started, Commented Branch, the smile still on his face.
Silence settled down. Poppy sat next to him, and Branch held back a thousand purrs.
- Your smile is beautiful, she said finally feeling her cheeks warm up.
- Not as good as is your, murmured Branch, in a barely audible voice. His smile continued to illuminate the features of his face.
Poppy had not noticed that his gray cheeks were lightly colored with a beautiful lilac nuace. Silence continued to reign for a few seconds, and Branch finally stood up, proposing:
- You can go home if you want, there will be no classes today.
Poppy smiled, got up.... and run to the lake where she went all afternoon to visit Hairless. It was there that he noticed that the princess had forgotten her headband on the blue mushroom. Branch ran his hand over his hurting ear, letting a chuckle slip from his lips.
