Chapter 9


Now that everything is settled with Poppy and Branch and their pod, they finally get some well-deserved peace in the kingdom. The two rulers roamed around Pop Village, serving their duties as King and Queen. Poppy assisted Keith, CJ Suki and Priscilla build a sandman of Tiny Diamond, a friend whom they missed dearly. Branch, on the other hand, elaborated a strategic plan to rescue a Grinchilla from a tree, when he finally managed to do so, the animal's mother attacked him. Poppy then noticed a balloon stand did not have anything to fill the balloons with air, so she decided to blow the balloons herself, unfortunately, she filled herself with air and flew into the distance. Branch approached Harper who lost her muse and decided to pose for her painting, and so she created a painting of Branch in the nude with a leaf covering his parts.

It had been a long morning for them, the two clashed with each other and dropped onto the hills of Misty Meadows. They sighed in unison as they stared at the sky, Branch admitted under his breath, "Wow. Today was intense."

"Preach!" Poppy agreed as she quickly recharged and sat up to her position, "Now you know what it's like for me!"

Branch sat up but in a much less energetic way, "You always made it seem like it was easy."

"Did I?" Poppy genuinely didn't know how much she romanticized being a queen until now, "Eh. I guess you must have a point."

"So uh..." Branch cleared his throat and rubbed his hands together intensively, "So I've been thinking a lot about what your mother said a week ago, and uhm, I have a question for you. And please don't underestimate it because it's kind of big."

"Okay..." Poppy's usual big smile and attention to people's questions shifted to a much more concern look on her face, "You can tell me anything Branch, remember?"

Branch gulped his fear away and spilled everything he wanted to say all at once, "OKAY SO HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT STARTING A FAMILY?!"

"WHAT!" Poppy spilled her water with that question, something Poppy did not expect at all coming from her husband, "I'm sorry did I hear that correctly?"

"I'm afraid you did Poppifer..." Branch took a deep breath and reformulated his question to address it more efficiently to his wife, "What I mean is, have you ever thought of that? I mean... It's kind of expected from us."

"Oh really? So you're saying that because people expect us to have a child because Guy Diamond and Queen Stellar had one! Besides we barely just moved in together, we would be moving things way too fast and!... Oh, I see how it is-" Before she continued her big essay, she realized the first words Branch said had everything to do with this, "This isn't about the people... It's about my mom... SHE SAID IT."

Poppy immediately stood up and walked toward Pop Village once again, Branch quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him, "What?! No, no, no." He continued as he somehow made her calmer just by making eye contact, "Poppy. Poppy. This isn't about anybody else, it's about us. I thought about it before your mother even said anything, and I never said I wanted to do it now... I just asked if there was a possibility in a nearby future."

"Oh, I see..." Poppy looked down a bit ashamed of her exaggerated reaction, "I'm sorry, it's been a long day. I could really use a party right now."

For her luck, an invitation flapped against her face at the exact moment she said it. Branch snatched it from her face as they saw purple and magenta lights soaring over the skies, it was the Disco Trolls delivery system. The biggest grin grew on Poppy's face, she tore the envelope tp shreds and began to read the invitation out loud, "Dear Queen Poppy and King Putzy, you are cordially invited to Princess Glimmer's Sip & See party... RIGHT NOW! We expect a lot of gifts, so please choose with care. Best regards, Your Majesty, QUEEN STELLAR GLIMMER WHIMSY OF THE PLANET JIVES." Poppy grinned mischievously and stared at Branch, "We're going."

"AND SO ARE WE!" Suddenly the entirety of the SnackPack emerged from behind the bushes, Branch jumped up like a frightened cat.

"YAY!" Poppy clapped her hands together at the sight of her best friends, "I'm so glad you are coming!"

"Well duh." Chenille sassed as she knitted the bottom part of Glimmer's gift dress.

Satin on the other hand knitted the top part, "We're guests of honor."

"Just like the wedding." DJ finished the Twins' statement, but also added something of her own with her chill vibe, "Besides that cool space helmet chick hired me to play some tunes too."

Cooper smiled with all the happiness in the world, "And I'm gonna make the cake!"

"I'm bringing Mr. Dinkles' brand new photoshoot." Biggie said as he then whispered in Poppy's ear, "They were supposed to be exclusive..."

"Oh by the way Poppy!" Smidge jumped up and pulled everyone closer together to tell an important secret, "Don't tell Legsly, she wasn't invited."

Poppy squealed excitedly as she shook Branch back and forth, "Yas finally! I've been eager to have a party forever."

"Uhh, what about the one we had in our place last week?" Branch asked as he regained his consciousness from Poppy's craziness.

"Oh please, that was barely a gathering." Poppy put her hands up and declared to her friends and Branch, "Listen up trolls! It's time to fly."

Legsly walked into the scene with shrimp bruschettas in her hands, "Dang it! They left without me again!" She tossed the food aside and stormed off.

The gang immediately got the memo and ran straight to the official Pop Troll Ship, made by Crimp with Disco Troll technology and some borrowed tools from the Funk Trolls. A catchy pop tune began to play as the trolls organized themselves and got dressed up for the party. Poppy finally put on her brand-new sheen dress and broke into song.
"It's bad troll o'clock, yeah, it's six-thirty
I've been through a lot, but I'm still flirty."

Branch hopped out of the spaceships dressing room with a sheen tuxedo while singing his own verse, "Is everybody back up in the buildin'?
It's been a minute, tell me how you're healin'
'Cause I'm about to get into my feelings
How you feelin'? How you feel right now?"

"Oh, I been so down and under pressure
I'm way too fine to be this stressed, yeah
Oh, I'm not the girl I was or used to be, uh
Girl, I might be better."

Poppy joined in with her husband and walked together to the main area of the large spaceship, they allowed Froggy to pilot the vehicle for them as they waltzed along the main hall and sang together.

"My girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time
Party all the time
My girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time
She parties all the time."

Soon the entire SnackPack joined in with the song and provided vocals for the chorus, they danced together on a montage of everyone suiting up and finishing their respective gifts for the baby's Sip & See. Biggie printed out the last picture of Mr. Dinkles, Satin & Chenille finalized the dress, DJ Suki made the perfect playlist for the party, Smidge packed up a tiny lifting weight and Cooper simply pooped out a cake by watching a trollor movie.
"Turn up the music, turn down the lights
I got a feelin' I'm gon' be alright
Okay (Okay), alright
Party all the time
Turn up the music, let's celebrate (Alright)
I got a feelin' I'm gon' be okay
Okay (Okay), alright
Party all the time

Starships were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one more time (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Starships, were meant to fly
Hands up and touch the sky (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Let's do this one last time."

As they were done with the gifts and whatnot, the trolls gathered around the large cockpit and sat beside Froggy. The spaceship began to depart Pop Village and fly toward space, the technology was so advanced that is wasn't affected by the wormholes surrounding the Troll Galaxy. On their way to the Spiral Groovy System, Poppy waved to her good friends Sun and Moon, Branch shook his head no to that. When they finished their performance, they had arrived at the Disco system and made their way to Planet Jives.
