Branch and Poppy spend time with their families having traditions and then they all spend the evening together.

Poppy went into her pod and saw her dad and sister talking about the past. 

''I really have missed a lot huh dad?'' Asked Viva.

''Yes, but your back and speaking of back here is Poppy.'' Peppy smiles as they look to see Poppy coming over with a smile.

 ''Yes, I am. Now what are we going to do first?''

''Back when we were little, we would make cookies together then while they were baking, we would watch movies.'' Viva smiles as she kisses Poppy's cheek.

''Cool! Let's get to work I got all of the stuff we need.'' Poppy replied.

Peppy was in his armchair watching holiday movies and smiles watching his daughters as he fell asleep.

Poppy and Viva were working on the dough.

''So, we always made homemade cookies?'' Asked Poppy.

''Yeah, it was a fun tradition me and mom would do, and you would be in the highchair watching and giggling.'' Viva smiles fondly at Poppy.

Poppy smiles as they then started cutting shapes from the cookies.

''So, how was Branch?'' Asked Viva.

''Um last, I check he was fine.'' Poppy shrugs.

''I'm not dumb I know you used checking on the other trolls as an excuse to see Branch.'' Viva replied with a smirk.

''I ran into him while on my way and he came with.'' Poppy confessed.

''I see, so what traditions do you two do?'' She asked.

''I don't know we haven't had a Christmas together yet.'' Poppy replied as she placed the cookies on the sheets.

''Really? Not even last year?'' She asked.

''Last year was the gift swap with the trolls we only got a couple hours by ourselves.'' Poppy explained.

A thought came to Viva, and she felt bad. ''Wait was this Christmas the year you were going to spend together?'' 

Poppy stayed quiet and nodded. ''Yeah, but we got our family back, so we are happy to spend time with you guys.'' 

''I'm so sorry Poppy. I wouldn't have bothered to make a big deal of this.'' Viva felt bad.

''It's alright we are both adults and besides its important to be with family.'' Poppy smiles as they placed the cookies in the oven. ''Besides we are going to see them tonight and me and Branch can hang out then.'' Poppy replied as they went to the living room and sat on the couch as they watched their dad sleep and were watching a Christmas Movie.

**************************

Branch made it back to the bunker and saw his brothers in the living room searching though the movies and tv show.

''Branch you're back!'' Floyd exclaimed as he ran over and hugged his brother.

He hugged Floyd and smiles. ''I told you I'd be back.''

''I know but still we missed you. Now come pick out a movie with us.'' Floyd smiled as he pulls Branch between him and Bruce.

Branch jumped from the middle and grabbed a pillow as he placed it on the floor and laid on his stomach in front of the tv.

''Ahh, I remember when you did that Branch, are you going to get scared?'' Asked John Dory.

''No, it's a Christmas movie.'' Branch shook his head.

They watched a couple of classic movies saving the fun ones for when the girls were over.

After the second movie Branch saw Bruce getting up and going to the kitchen. He followed and saw Bruce working on the ham they were having.

''Woah is that for tonight?'' Asked Branch.

''Yeah, it is. And I'm about to make cookies.'' Bruce smiles as he got out the stuff for making cookies and Branch helped him as they were making cookies and Bruce turned on some Christmas music.

Branch and Bruce worked on the cookies. While the cookies were baking Bruce went to watching the movie and Branch went to his room and made a list of stuff, he would need for tonight.

********************

That evening....

Viva and Poppy got on their stuff and their bags and looked at Peppy. 

''You ready dad?'' Asked Viva.

''I'm not going. The elder trolls are having their own Christmas Party so I'm going, besides this is a new thing for you and the boys.'' Peppy hugged them.

Viva and Poppy nodded as they all went in the opposite directions. Viva and Poppy made it to the bunker and went on the lift as it went down.

The boys had just finished setting up the table buffet style when they saw the girls.

''Viva!'' Clay ran over and hugged her as they shared a kiss.

Poppy smiles as she placed her bag down and looked the brothers and grins when she sees Branch who ran over and picked her up as he spins her around in a hug and places her down gently.

''Hi Poppy.'' He said softly.

''Hi Branch.'' Poppy greeted back blushing.

''Welcome girls! Say where's your dad?'' Asked John Dory.

''He went to a Christmas party he was invited too.'' Viva replied as she had her arm around Clay.

''So, who's ready to eat? All the food is here.'' Bruce called as they went to the kitchen and started taking the food they wanted and sat at the table together.

''So, how was your day?'' Asked Clay looking at Viva.

''It was fun! Spent it with Poppy and dad.'' She smiles as she took a bite of ham.

The others were eating and Branch looked at Poppy.

''I got a special surprise for us tonight.'' He whispered in her ear.

''Oh? I look forward to it.'' She giggles as they held hands under the table.

The family continued eating and talking. After they finished eating, John Dory and Bruce did the dishes while the others cleaned up the table.

After the trolls were done, they all went into the living room and Branch sat in his bean chair as Poppy fell in his lap and he held her as they watched their siblings.

''Alright gift time.'' Floyd smiled.

They boys opened their gifts. John Dory pulled out a black leather vest jacket and black fingerless gloves.

''Woah thanks Poppyseed!'' He took off his old one and placed it on, showing off his vest and he opened Viva's who got him new goggles, he also got a coffee mug with the picture of all his brothers, and it said BROZONE #1.'' You guys are awesome!''

Spruce pulled out a purple vest with orange flowers on it. ''Thanks Poppy.'' He smiles as he took off his vest and put it on seeing how it fit. ''You even got my size right!'' Bruce grinned.

''Oh yeah, I had a bit of help from Brandy, we had fun going through your outfits.'' Poppy giggles.

''I knew my clothes were moved.'' He said to himself as he opened Viva's gift and got a new pink seashell necklace as he put it on his neck and placed his old one in his hair. He got hair products and horror crime podcast cd's. ''You guys' rock!'' He smiles at them.

Clay opened his and saw a yellow with pink stripes sweater romper and a new headband from Poppy, he got notepads and pens from Viva, and he got new sad books from his brothers.

''Woah, I love the gifts.'' He smiles.

Floyd took his turn and found new shorts and a blue belt from Poppy, while he got a mandolin from Viva and his brothers got him a green leaf vest that he gave to Branch all those years ago.

''There now you can match Branch.'' John Dory smiles.

Branch got his favorite chocolates from his brothers, and a picture frame from Viva with a picture of him and Poppy kissing after saving Floyd.

He was shocked. ''It was too cute not to take.'' She replied.

''So, what did you get Branch?'' Asked John to Poppy.

''Oh, his will come later.'' She replied.

The sibling's smirk and giggle. But the couple let them have their fun as they knew what the gifts were.

The Viva got a few new cd's from the brothers, a necklace from Clay and a scrapbook from Poppy.

Poppy got a scrapbook from the brothers; Viva got her half of a necklace that said best, and she pulled out the sister part from her neck.

''I love it, Viva!'' She hugs Viva.

After opening gifts, the trolls were sitting around talking and got changed into their pj's as they pulled out the mattresses and sleeping bags as they all decided to have a sleepover in the living room.

They turned on more Christmas movies and tv shows.

Branch was on the couch with Poppy resting her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her.

Clay and Viva were on one mattress holding hands. Bruce, John Dory and Floyd were in their own sleeping bags.

A few hours past and Branch heard soft snoring, and he saw that his siblings were out, and he looked down at Poppy who was awake.

''Poppy.'' He said quietly.

She looks up. ''Yes?''

''Come with me but be quiet.'' He whispered as they walked past the sleeping trolls and Branch got a couple of things placing them in his hair as he took Poppy's hand and they went out through the back of the bunker since it was quiet and they looked at the wonderful, dark night with snow falling.

''Where are we going?'' She asked.

''You'll see it's a surprise.'' He smiles as they walk together.

Here we go.
