BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

- I'm coming ... he growled, still a little sleepy.

He yawned, the fact that he had no more teeth when he opened his mouth was quite normal ... like the fact that he was rolling in a ball like a cat on the floor. The dial to quote from him posted 13h. Hairless had spent the night watching over Poppy and now Branch was completely exhausted.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! 

The noise was hurting his ears (in any case, the one who heard), if it continued, he would finish completely deaf. Branch got up from the pile of blankets on the floor, running his fingers through his hair to put his locks back in order, then walked to the entrance to his bunker without forcing himself to get up completely, he was literally walking to four legs. he pushed open the door of the entrance;

- Poppy, how many times will I have to tell you about .... Aaaarrrgh!

A paw had just pushed him outside, Branch turned grunting, black thorns spurting from his back in fear (It would leave holes in his jacket leaf, yay). He turned to see who had just thrown him in the dust. He widened his eyes, realizing that the paw belonged to Oxy, Skylar's ferret.

- What are you doing here?

Oxy tilted his head to the side and moved closer to him, Branch wondering how the ferret was coming up to his bunker. He got up on both his legs and stroked the mustelid's head to calm him down, he had to bring him back to the village before he got injured or attacked.

-I'll take you back to Skylar.

- Why?

Branch immediately stopped caressing him and stepped back to charge a tree behind him. He rubbed his eyes and tried to calm down, he was going crazy with all this stories! he struck his head against the tree to drive away the stupid thought that ran through his mind; a talking ferret, seriously?

- I would never understand the Trolls ... Oxy sighed behind him.

No, it was not a dream. That must have been another effect of his new powers ... He turned around grumbling in a bad mood, sounded like a terrible grunt and Oxy frowned.

- I can understand you ... he sighed as he leaned against the tree behind him.

- Oh yeah? Will you give me some help, then?

The animal lay down on the frozen ground and moaned:

- I wish my master gives me real food ... He keeps giving me some kind of hard mouse droppings ...

-Kibble?

-Yeah, I think that's it.

Branch sighed and signaled to Oxy to follow him:

- I'll tell him a word ... why am I talking to a ferret?

Oxy rose with a merry air and followed him closely;

- I don't know, how do you understand what I'm saying? Normally, nobody seems to hear me ..

He explained to him in detail his story. It made him so good to talk to someone! Branch felt like he was carrying less weight on his shoulders. When he told her about Poppy, the animal laughed slightly, it looked like squeaks.

- So, you are falling in love with the princess!

- What? No! Branch crossing his arms.

- Don't try to deny it, buddy. Your smell means love!

Branch frowned, then said it sounded logical, he was chatting with a ferret, don't forget. The animal could perfectly know what emotions he felt by relying on his odor.

- And ... what exactly does love smell? asked Branch

-The perspiration and the hormones se ....

- DON'T END THIS SENTENCE.

Poppy was walking in the village, a list in her hands. All the trolls decorated the center of the village with pumpkins, little paper ghosts ... you probably guess they were getting ready for Trolloween, right? Same as the night of the party, the full moon would illuminate the night sky! Adjusting the red scarf she wore, Poppy remembered that it was Branch's, she promised to return it later. She made sure one last time that everything was installed, Trolloween arrived tomorrow and everything had to be ready, she didn't even buy her suit!

Poppy had always made her costume with the help of the twins, Satin and Chenille. Every year it was the same; Poppy drew her idea in one of her scrapbooking albums and the twins made a marvel. The pink troll sat down on a mushroom and she began to think about a costume idea ... Nothing, she had no idea. She began to draw Hairless in her album to try to get an idea ...

She stopped passing the pencil on the sheet as she drew the black dragon's tail, she wiped the excess flap and frowned. It was this wound that prevented Hairless from flying, she had to help him, but how?

She remembered a troll she had seen when she went with Branch to the hospital. He had a false leg, Branch had explained to him that it was a prosthesis ... Then she began to draw a prosthesis for the tail of the NightFury, she made several tries before finally being satisfied:

- I would ask Branch or he finds the leaves he uses to make his survivalist jackets ...

Indeed, the gray troll had already told him that these leaves had the distinction of remaining green long after falling from their tree branches .. It would be perfect for the prosthesis to last a long time. Poppy shook her head, she could not stop thinking about Branch right now!

- And I would ask the twins to teach me how to sew so that I can make it ... and it would also be necessary that I ask Branch for ...

Branch, again. Lost in thought, she didn't notice the gray troll coming towards her.

- Hi Poppy, growled a voice in a bad mood.

The princess raised her head, it was Branch, had he heard it? The pink troll hid her album behind her back.

- Hi Branch! Nice day, huh?

- It's mostly cold, complained the survivor, I just saw Skylar and Biggie and they installed decorations ... don't tell me you're planning another party?

Poppy got up from the mushroom where she was sitting and jumped happily:

- Why? You want to come???

Branch stared at the scarf she was wearing around her neck, Poppy took it off and handed it to him, but Branch shook his head.

- I'll not come, and you can keep my scarf. I already told you; I'm never sick

In the darkness, a little creature ran towards a big mountain. No plants grew around and the ground was covered with ash. The sea surrounded the gray island lost in the fog.

The creature was barely 30 centimeters tall. He rushed to the side of the mountain and took off. His vitreous eyes showed that he was not aware of himself being...

The next chapter will be little special ;)  if someone have a costume idea for Poppy ... (Not Hairless)
