~Down In The Basement~

Poppy, In The Office Chair, Zoomed All The Way Down The Track.

Poppy Screamed Her Pink Vajayjay Off.
"AAAAAAHHHH!!!! OH MY GOSHY GOOBERTS I'M GOING BACKWARDSSSSSS!!!!"

The Chair On The Track Made It All The Way Down To The Basement And Stopped.

Poppy Flopped Out The Chair.
"OOF-"

Poppy Stood Up, Wobbling.
"Jeez..."

Poppy Dusted Herself Off.
"Even Universal Studios Had Better Rides. And I'm From That Property 😦"

Poppy Looked Around Of Where She Was, Looking Very Confused.

Poppy Tapped Her Chin.
"Huh, Still....What Did Mr. Whistle's Checkboard Mean..?"

Poppy Backed Up.
"Maybe If I Get Outta Here I Can-"

Poppy Backed Up To The Board And Turned Around To It.

The Knife Pow Threw At The Board Was Sticking Out.

Poppy Took The Knife Out And Held It.
"Whoaaaa....A Knifeeee...."

Poppy Realizes And Gasps.
"GASP! A KNIFE............ew-"

Poppy Dropped The Knife Immediately.

Poppy Then Looked Up At The Board Again, And Saw All The Pictures Of The Trolls And Leaders.

She Looked Over At A Map Showing Directions To Find Troll Village.

Then She Turned To A Picture Of Every Troll Leader Circled, With A X On Them.

Poppy Thought And Thought, And Finally Put The Pieces Together.

That Whoever Brought Them Here, Was A Trap To Get Rid Of Them.

Poppy Couldn't Believe It.
"Branch.....Was......R-Right?"

Suddenly, Noise Of The Chair On The Track Coming Down Can Be Heard.

Poppy Gasped Softly And Quickly Hid In The Dark Corner, Behind Some Boxes.

The Party Crashers, All Sitting On That One Chair, Fell Off.

"UGH! GET YOUR BIG SELF OFF!"
Pow Pushed Slamm-Oh Off.

"Oh, HEHE, Sorry"
Slamm-Oh Stood Up.

Mr. Whistle Walked Over To The Board.
"Finally! We Got The Minions Plan Into Action"

"YEAH YUHHHH!"
Smack And Slamm-Oh High Five.

Poppy Gasped And Whispered.
":O, Mr. Whistle's Working For The Party Crashers?!"

Bash Took Off The Mr. Whistle Costume.
"And I Can Finally Stop Wearing This Hideous Troll Outfit!"

Poppy Double Gasped.
":OO, Bash Was Mr. Whistle The Whole Time?!?.....Man, I Really Am Unaware Alot Of Times"

"But Bash, I Made That Costume For You. Cause I Am Technically I Scout Still Heh Heh"
Peter Said.

"Did I ASK For Your Input? -.-"
Bash Glared.

"No.."
Peter Backed Up, Rubbing His Arm.

"YEAH! HE DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR INPUT 👅"
Slamm-Oh Blew A Raspberry.

"My Name Is Peter-"
Peter Repeated Again.

"Your Name Is Whatever Bash Says It Is!"
Pow Said.

"YAH!"
Smack Shouted.

"What's The Next Step Bash?"
Pow Asked.

"We Destory The Leaders, At The Event They Are Most Anticipating. Then, We Capture The Ring Leader Poppy....And Crash Her At Crasher Valley"
Bash Explained.

Poppy's Eyes Widen At That In Fear.

"She Ruined Our Reputation, We RUIN Her"
Bash Smirked.

"YEAHHHH!"
Slamm-Oh And Smack Shout.

"Technically, A Fair Ratio Would Be To Ruin Her Reputation As Well, And Not Her ENTIRE Self"
Peter Corrected.

"Don't Tell Me What I Know!"
Bash Slapped The Back Of Peter's Head.

Peter Rubbed His Head And Sighed.

"Tonight Is The Main Event When We Destroy The Leaders With The Minions. While That Happens, We'll Retrieve The Poppy Queen And Off Back To Crasher Valley"
Bash Explained.

"I Gotta Get Outta Here..."
Poppy Said To Herself.

Poppy Quietly Got Underneath One Of The Boxes And Scooted Across The Floor.

The Party Crashers Were Turned Around, Not Aware.

Poppy Scooted The Box All The Way To The Office Chair.

Poppy Slowly And Carefully Got Out From Underneath The Box, And Sat In The Chair.

Poppy Pulled The Lever And Immediately Got Sent Back Up On The Track.

The Party Crashers Turn Around At The Sound.

Poppy Was Already Gone Up The Track.

"You Hear Something?"
Bash Said.

"No?"
Pow Said.

Smack Shrugs.
"Probably The Rat From Ratatouille-"

~~~

~Meanwhile~

Branch And Jimmy Were Still Taking Selfies Of Themselves.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Both Laugh Together.

Barb Just Watched.
"-_____-"

"Oh These Are Totally Going On My Next Show!"
Jimmy Said.

"Oooo, Maybe We Can Do A Skit Called....The Adventures Of Gary & Larry"
Branch Said.

"Ohhhh Yes! Goin In My Notey Notes"
Jimmy Wrote That Down.

"They Get Along So Well"
Trollzart Whispers.

"Ain't It Sweet?"
Delta Nudged Barb.

"It's Scares Me .____."
Barb Said.

Riff Waved At Barb And Flexed His Somewhat Muscles.

But Riff's Pants Fell Down.

"Though Not As Much As Him -.-"
Barb Gestures.

Prince D Ran Back Over.
"BRANCH! BRANCH! BRANCH! YO B!"

Branch Turned Around.
"Oh Hey D, You And Zeny Gettin Smexy With It~"

"Yeah Um, About Zeny. Uhhhh I Just Had A Uh....Flashback"
Prince D Told Him.

"A Flashback? Of? DON'T SAY BACK WHEN A CRAB AND FISH SPOKE TO A REDHEADED MERMAID"
Branch Said.

"No! It's Um....When Me And Zeny First Met.....As Kids"
Prince D Whispered.

"Huh? But That's Impossible. Didn't You Two Just Meet For The First Like 4 Days Ago?"
Branch Said.

"Exactly! And She Doesn't Even Know Who I Am"
Prince D Said.

"Well Obviously, That Was Years Ago. How Can Someone Remember Someone They Met Years Ago-"
Branch Said.

"Yeah But....If She's A Funk Troll. She Should Know Who I Am As The Prince. And My Parents As The King And Queen. Isn't That Odd?"
Prince D Said.

"Oh Yeah- That Is Actually Odd.."
Branch Thought About It.

Poppy Kicked The Door Open From The Building And Ran Into The Street.

"GUYS! GUYS GUYS GUYS!"
Poppy Ran To The Group.

"There You Are!"
Branch And Barb Say.

"Did You Tell Mr. Whistle?"
Trollex Asked.

Poppy Breathes Heavily.
"NO CAUSE..."

Everyone Listened To Her.

"...... MR. WHISTLE IS BASH!!!!"
Poppy Shouted.

Everyone Blinked In Confusion.

Poppy Started To Explain.
"YA KNOW! REMEMBER BRANCH! BASH! THE PARTY CRASHER! FROM A FEW YEARS AGO! HIM AND 4 OTHERS ARE HERE! THEY LURED US HERE TO DESTROY US AND TAKE CONTROL OF TROLLSTOPIA! I SAW THE WHOLE THING!!!"

The Group Stared At Poppy Blankly.

Then Everyone Started Laughing.
"HAAA HAHAHAHAHA! 🤣"

Poppy Raises Her Eyebrow.
"WH- WHA-?! WHATS SO FUNNY?!!?"

Branch Wiped A Laughing Tear.
"Poppy, Cmon? The Party Crashers? Give Me A Break. We Got Rid Of Them Long Time"

"EXACTLY! NOW THEY WANT REVENGE ON US! SO WE NEED TO GO NOW!"
Poppy Grabbed Branch's Arm.

"What???"
Branch Said, Trying To Pull Back.

"WE GOTTA GO BRANCHIE"
Poppy Pulled More.

"N-NO!"
Branch Pulled His Hand Away.

Poppy Looked Back At Him.
"....Branch?"

"Who Even Are The Party Crashers?"
Barb Asked.

"They Invaded Pop Village A While Back With Imposters. Basically Lizards"
Branch Replied.

"Mm- Makes Sense"
Barb Shrugged.

"Branchhhh, Cmon We All Gotta Get Out! Before It's Too Late!"
Poppy Said.

"Poppy, What Are You Tryna Pull?"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

"Huh? Pulling What? I'm Just Saying We Need To Leave ASAP!"
Poppy Gestures.

Branch Started Chuckling.
"Ohhh I See What This Whole Stunt Is"

"Stunt?"
Poppy Said.

"This Is Payback For When We First Came And I Was Paranoid. Oh How Funny You Are"
Branch Said.

"Branch! Listen To Me! This Is No Joke! They're After Us And You're Wussing Out!"
Poppy Said.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa, Wussing Out? I Wasn't Wussing Out When I Said We Should Leave In The First Place"
Branch Said.

Poppy Knew That Was True.

"And Also, Why Should I Listen To You, If You Didn't Listen To Me In The First Place? Huh? Does My Opinion Not Imply To You Ms. Queen?"
Branch Said.

Poppy Sighed Annoyed.
"Look, I'm Just Tryna Protect All Of You-"

"No.....The One Time Since We Been Here That I'm Having Fun, You Wanna Make All This Up So I Don't Have A Good Time"
Branch Said.

"That's Not What I'm Saying Branch!"
Poppy Said.

Branch Sighed.
".....Did My Opinion Matter To You When We Got Here? Or Better Yet....Did You Even Listen To My Opinion? Or Just Flat Out Ignore It Like You Always Do"

Poppy Looked At Branch, Knowing What He Said Was True, Rubbing Her Hands.

"What Happend To A Good Queen Listens Huh?"
Branch Questioned.

The Trolls Watched The Angst.

Especially Barb.
"( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"

"Do You Want Me To Save You....Or Not"
Poppy Said.

"There's No Reason For Me To Believe You.....If You Never Believe Me"
Branch Said.

Both Looked At Each Other, Emotionally And Upsetly.

"Maybe We Are Too Different To Be Together In Love"
Branch Turned Around, Crossing His Arms.

".......I Was Thinking The Same Thing-"
Poppy Said Back Firmly.

Branch's Ears Droop Down, As He Gained A Frown.

Poppy Threw Her Crown Down On The Ground And Ran Out Of Trollywood City.

Branch Sighed Deeply, With His Head Down.

Barb Was About To Tap Branch.
"Bro...?"

"Not Now......Please...."
Branch Immediately Said.

Branch Then Walked Away Down The Street And Away From The Group.

Poppy Ran Out The Entrance, Then Stopped For A Second And Looked Back.

With Tears In Her Eyes, Poppy Squinted Her Eyes And Keeping Running Out Into The Forest To Be Alone.

~~~

Out In The Forest, Poppy Wiped Her Tears And Sniffed.

Poppy Went Down On Her Knees And Sat In Front Of A Tree.

Poppy Kept Wiping Her Eyes From The Tears, Feeling Sad About Her Fight With Branch And Knowing Most Of The Stuff He Pointed Out Was True.

Poppy's Tears Fell Onto The Ground And Made A Tiny Puddle.

Ppppy Looked Down Into The Puddle, And Saw A Vision Of Her Hugging Her Friends And Branch.

Poppy Sighed And Looked Up, To Break Into A Song.

🎵 Who am I,
and what have I become..🎵

🎵 Do I stand for something,
or for love..🎵

🎵 Who am I,
where's my good girl gone..🎵

🎵 You know I have a good heart,
you see...🎵

Back In Trollywood, Branch Was On A Rooftop Of A Building, Sitting And Looking Out Into The Distance.

As Branch Was Also Singing The Same Song.

🎵 Who am I,
now that my love's gone..🎵

🎵 I gave you what
I didn't know I needed...🎵

🎵 Who am I,
now that my heart is one..🎵

🎵 I didn't know I need...

Both Sang Together From Different Areas.

🎵 But I've got toniiiight,
I've got to makeeee..🎵

🎵 The best
I can of ittttt..🎵

🎵 'Cause yesterday is
dead and goneeeee..🎵

🎵 And me along with it..🎵

Both Visioned Being Together And With Each Other.

🎵 I want to start again,
so I'll look withinnn🎵

🎵 Remember when
I'd want innn🎵

🎵 'Cause I don't know
who I've becomeeeee!🎵

🎵 But I will

🎵 I will

The best I can of itttt...🎵
Poppy Sang.

🎵 'Cause yesterday is
dead and goneeee..
And me along with ittt..🎵

❤ I want to
start againnn...💙

Poppy Wiped Away The Tear Puddle From The Ground.

Poppy Had A Decision In Mind That She Didn't Wanna Do, But Felt It Was Best To Do.

Poppy Reached In Her Hair, Took Out A Piece Of Paper, And Began To Write A Note.

~~~

~Down In The Office Basement~

The Party Crashers Were Still Discussing The Final Plan..

Bash Finishes.
"So Then Me, Pow, Slamm-Oh, And Smack Will Retreat Back To Crasher Valley While Peter You-"

Suddenly, The Sound Of The Chair Going Down The Track Was Heard.

The Party Crashers Turned Around.

It Was Poppy On The Chair, Going Down.

The Chair Stopped, And Poppy Got Off.

The Party Crashers Looked At Her Confused.

Poppy Sighed And Went Down On Her Knees On The Ground, Gesturing That She's Turning Herself In.

Bash Started Smirking And Signals Slamm-Oh And Smack To Get Her.

Slamm-Oh And Smack Nod, And Went To Grab Poppy.

Poppy Kept Her Head Down And Held Her Hands, Feeling Dispair In Her Heart.
