Ch 4: Does The Truth Hurt?
Hey people of the universe! This is where Poppy asks the Big question to Branch. Will he tell her the truth and be done with it or just lie again and watch her untangle from his arms? Read and find out! (P.S. is the summary ok?)
It was a another happy day at the Troll Tree and Bergen Town for everyone, well perhaps not everyone.
Branch's pod (POV)
Branch was staring at one of Poppy's invitations, again. He couldn't help it, I mean sure he and Poppy were now friends ( A/N Best friends), but he doesn't have a chance against Forest. He was very handsome, happy, and positive that's why almost all the girls love him. "Ugh, why am I doing this again. With this rate, I'm going to lose my colors again,"
When he opened an invitation, it popped out, and all of the snack pack were standing together, and at the top the tree, was him and Poppy, hugging happily. He smiled at this. It was the day of her coronation.
He closed the invitation and brought it back to its hiding place. Then, Poppy's cowbell started banging, and her voice saying,
"A 1,2,3!"
It was the start of the morning song, "Better not go, Poppy will sure be there," Branch sighed and went back to his room.
Outside POV
The other trolls were busy doing their usual work; singing, dancing, hugging and giving happiness to others, while Poppy was giving out invitations to her sleepover. Of course she only plans to invite the snack pack, Branch, and Forest. ( A/N I'm sorry but yes) Now, she was done with Forest, with a thank you kiss on the cheek. She was on her way to get DJ, but saw her with the others, "Perfect! It'll be easier to give these invitations."
"Morning guys!" She said walking towards them.
"Morning Queen Poppy!" The pack greeted her with a playful bow, snickering.
Poppy noticed this and played their joke, "Why thank you my fellow trolls. It is very kind of you to greet me, your Highness, in the morning." she said with an English accent.
Everybody laughed and the pack continued eating while the queen was inviting them to her sleepover, "I am telling you guys this is gonna be the BIGGEST, the most FUN, and CRAZIEST sleepover EVER!"
"Of course will come! We never miss any of your parties, girl. Well, except when GD ova' here was too "busy" to come to your last part." DJ Suki pointed out, while playfully glaring at Guy Diamond.
"W-what? I couldn't come because I-I was umm.." he stuttered, struggling to find the right words. Words that can cover up the fact that he went on a date with a certain someone that night. "Well, umm DJ didn't come either!" he semi shouted, while hiding his flushed face.
"Hey! That was because I had a "gig" to attend to." She lied.
"Alright, alright let's stop the playful banter and just stay on topic, which is Pop's sleepover?" Chenille interrupted. Her hands signaling the hand from a stop sign.
DJ and GD crossed their arms and ate.
"Hey Poppy, is Branch gonna be there?" Biggie asked while finishing his strawberry shake. Poppy only smiled and nodded, "Forest is invited too." she said.
"Huh? Who's he?" Cooper had no clue who Forest was ( A/N I don't know why). Everyone stopped what they're doing, and stared at him with astonishment. "You mean you don't know who Forest is?!" Satin was the first to speak after a few seconds. "Uh no?"
"He's the one who asked Poppy out!"
"He's the heartthrob of the whole Troll tree!"
"Branch too!" Poppy added, "Wait what?!"
"Ooohhh"
"Poppy you like Branch?"
"I thought you were dating Forest?
"This is very interesting"
"What will he say?"
Everbody bursted out questions to Poppy about her status with Branch and Forest. There were so many questions, she became frustrated and got an idea; "Umm, how about I ask those questions later and start the morning song! Nothing better that singing your heart out in the morning!" She replied cheerfully. Minutes later, after the fierce staring competition they finally agreed and went to the tallest branch.
"A 1, 2, 3!"
After a few minutes, they ended the song with another astounding finish. Good thing the pack forgot what Poppy said earlier, "Now that would be complicated." she thought. "Now time to go Branch's."
Branch's pod
Branch's eyebrow raised as a knock was pounding on his door. He came past his secretly kept cards from Poppy, he took a peak right through the hole on his door (A/N I don't what it's called). Poppy. He sighed, and opened the door and put on a smile.
"Hey Poppy, morning," he greeted, seeing the queen's happy face.
"Morning, Branch!"
"So what's up?" he asked while letting her in.
"Well, I was wondering that maybe you could join us in my sleepover tonight?" she held the invitation card so that he could see it. Well, she practically shoved it at his face.
"Us?" he asked curiously, " I invited the snack pack, you, and Forest." she answered cheerfully.
"Oh ok, wait what?! You invited Forest!" he shouted in astonishment. "She invited that..... that Forest? That'll only worsen the situation I am right now."
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" she furrowed her eyebrows in complete shock on what reaction she received from him. "Is there something wrong with Forest? Maybe you just didn't have the chance to get to know him yet."
Branch stepped back with a frustrated look on his face, "N-no it's not that, i-it's because I-I," he struggled for words, "I think it's time you should tell her the truth." the voice form the other side of his head decided. "But, but--" "No buts! Look at her, she's waiting for answers! If you really love her then tell her!"
"It's because...." he looked at her straight in her eyes, full of reluctance and hope.
"Because....?" Poppy waited, staring at him.
"I love you."
