Chapter 3
As the vows were made official, the newly married and their infinite guests made their way to the downtown of Pop Village. The entire clearing was decorated accordingly to the couple's consensual liking. Loads of glitter, confetti, and balloons but also some safety precautions for the most risky attractions in the offering. Everyone took seats at designated tables before the actual party began as they did have to follow some of the wedding guidelines, even if the bride disagreed with it the groom convinced her to be as refined as possible, and yet there they were sitting with their families on a long table.
Legsly walked up to the couple and kneeled before them with a cutlery kit in her hands, "Please accept this gift, Your Majesty..."
"Uh, you don't have to address us like that, Legsly." Branch responded with an awkward look on his face, "We're still the same trolls we were before plus we're your friends."
"Well, not anymore!" Legsly dumped the gifts in front of them and stormed off. Branch looked at Poppy and giggled nervously.
"Eh, it's no biggie." Poppy expressed with a chill smile, "Friendships come and go."
Branch raised his eyebrows and replied, "Wow your development is impressive... A few years back you would've stopped everything only to make her your friend again."
"I'm a married troll, Branchie." She responded, "Of course, I have to be mature."
"I love you more by the second." Branch engaged in another kiss with his brand new wife.
As they received more perks from the Troll Nation. Bridget and Gristle the rulers of Bergen Town approached their altar and delicately placed a troll-sized crate in front of them. Poppy and Branch blinked at it due to confusion. Bridget nudged her husband and cleared her throat, warning him about something.
"Huh?" Gristle busied himself on scratching his behind as he realized, "Oh right yeah! Please accept this present in gratitude for our year-long friendship." He read that rehearsed speech in the palm of his hand. They both smiled eagerly.
Bridget kneeled to Poppy's size and whispered into her ear, "You are supposed to open it..."
"Oh! Okay!" Poppy hopped over the table and unsealed the crate, "No way."
"What is it?" Branch curiously peeked over her shoulders while trying to see more clearly.
Poppy pulled the gift from inside the crate and placed it in front of her body, "MATCHING PJ'S WITH A PHOTO OF YOU GUYS?"
"Oh." Branch questioned the choice but he respected it.
"Do you like it?" Bridget asked with a heartwarming face.
"Like it?" Poppy scoffed, "WE LOVE IT! Thank you so much."
Gristle cheeered himself over on the back and said to his queen, "See babe? I told ya they would love that."
The only two Bergens that the couple invited walked away as the visiting Disco Troll rulers along with the Snack Pack were the ones next in line. Queen Stellar dragged her exaggeratedly long cape to the front while saying, "Hey cuties! Congratulations on your wedding. I cried. Like four times. Like genuinely."
"That's great...?" Branch didnt know how to respond to that.
"I for one think it was about glittering time you two got together." Guy Diamond expressed with a new chivalrous approach, "It's satisfying even."
"AYO!" Tiny Diamond climbed over his father's hair and landed on the table, "Daddy's right you two have been draggin' this for too long. Thought ya'll would never learn your lesson."
Poppy laughed at Tiny's antics and Branch sighed over it. The groom answered the family, "It's good to see you too Tiny but may I ask... Who is that."
He referred to the strange volume on Queen Stellar's hair, the reason why she acted so overboard during the holiday season.. Stellar chuckled and explained, "Oh yeah! They don't know about the news baby... Tell 'em."
"Everyone." Guy Diamond bowed down before the trolling extending his arm out to her, "Meet Glimmer. Stellar's and I daughter."
"WHAT!" Poppy and The Snack Pack gasped at the news surprised to hear them.
General Supergleam joked from the side as everyone stared at her curiously, "They got busy up in the palace."
"BAHAHAHA!" Cooper cackled at that and nearly lost his abdomen, "Ah never gets old."
"I knew it!" Chenille boasted to her twin sister, "You owe me a cupcake."
Satin rolled her eyes annoyingly, "Yeah, yeah whatever."
"Well, welcome to the family Glimmer." Poppy looked up to the egg and booped its shell softly, "You're always welcome here at Pop Village."
"Thanks!" Stellar mimicked the voice of a child, contrary to her stepson's voice. She went on to Poppy and hugged her, "I love you, Aunt Poppy."
The entire gang awed at the action. Tiny groaned and hugged Poppy as well, "I LOVE YOU TOO, AUNT POPPY."
"Give Branch some love too!" Supergleam suggested as she had become close friends with him after their time together in the last mission.
The Queen and Tiny looked at Branch and shrugged, "Nah." They went back to Guy Diamond and fled the scene. Then finally Queen Primrose and King Peppy arrived to congratulate them. Peppy took courage to be the first parent to speak, "Poppy... I have never been so proud of you...I th-" He couldn't handle himself so he sobbed onto Primrose's shoulders. She confronted him as she spoke, "For the little time we spent together. I couldn't help but notice the amount of ways you've grown. You're stronger, more responsible, and even more of a leader than you ever were. Branch completes you and you complete him. You both need each other and it's clear that this decision is the right one. I can already tell you'll live the best life together."
"Thank you, Queen Primrose." Branch touched his heart happy to hear those words of consent coming from his mother-in-law. It was comforting. Poppy nodded in gratitude as she wouldn't be able to handle the emotion of answering in the same way. Now that everyone had spoken to the couple, Viva caught all the attention of her.
"ATTENTION TROLLS AND BERGENS AND WHATEVER THESE THINGS ARE!" Viva slammed a baton against a plate and caused everyone to look at her, "Before the party commences I would like to propose a toast to the Queen and her consort! A TOAST FOR BROPPY!"
Every guest raised their glasses of punch for the married couple and yelled, "FOR BROPPY!"
As the party progressed, Branch prepared himself for a surprise wedding-themed Brozone performance. Viva remained on the stage as Biggie placed Mr. Dinkles at the bottom of it for announcing purposes.
