~The Next Day~

After Yesterday's Successful Day Of Ruining 2 Out Of Branch's Brothers Holiday Plans To Save The "Bro-liday", It Was Time To Move Onto The Next Operation Of The Mission To Brainstorm Another Plan.

Inside Of The Bunker, Tired Of The Plan Wrecking, Poppy Was Sitting In Front Of Her Boyfriend's Vision Board Of How To Ruin Branch's Brothers Plans, As She Felt Deep Down Maybe This Just Wasn't Worth It.

In Her Hands, Poppy Held The Flyer That Ruined Floyd And Boom's Caroling Date, And The Whoopi Cushion That Helped Ruin Clay's Sad Book Club Meeting Last Night, Staring At Both Items In Regret.

Branch Happily Came Into To Living Room Of The Bunker.
"OH POPPPYYYYY~ GUESS WHAT I GOOOTTTT~"

Poppy Gasped With A Hopeful Grin And Turned Around.
"Is It A Mistletoe So We Can Do More Couple Kissy Holiday Stuff Than Ruin Your Brothers Holiday Plans?!"

"What? No, Do That On Your Own Kinky Freaky Time-"
Branch Replied Back To Her.

Poppy Glared At Her Boyfriend.
"-.- I Would But The Other Half Is Being A PAIN IN THE-"

"-AHHH AH AHHH, Hush! Look What I Found!"
Branch Brought Out A Box, That Was Full Of Arts & Craft Christmas Decorations.

"Christmas Decorations?"
Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow, Digging Through The Box.

Branch Chuckled And Pinched Poppy's Cheek.
"Sillyyyy Pinkyyyy, Not Just Any Ordinary Christmas Decorations, But Ones Me And My Brothers Made For Our Grandmother When We Were Younger For The Broliday!"

"Awwww, You Can Definitely Tell Kids Made This 🥹, So Much Glue And Out Of Place Coloring"
Poppy Said In Awe, Holding Up One Of The Decorations.

Branch Sighed Happily And He Looked Through The Box.
"Yeahhhh, Heh. Grandma Loved It...And We Loved Making These. It Really Added To The Broliday Every Year! I Still Hope The Magic Of It Still Lives After We're Done With Our Mission...Ya Know? Since She's Gone.."

Poppy Grinned A Little And Rubbed Her Boyfriend's Back.
"The Magic Never Leaves When You Think About Family...And Your Grandma Will Always Remember The Joy Of The Broliday You All Shared!"

Branch Grinned Back At His Girlfriend.
"Thanks, Plus Since Our Mission Is Half Done, We'll Be On Our Way To Possibly The BEST Broliday Me And My Brothers Ever Had! Since We're All Adults Now, 10 TIMES THE FUN!"

"Yeahhhhh About Thaaat...I've Really Been Thinking About This Whole Mission And I Really Think Maybe It's Not...Worth It? 👉👈"
Poppy Fiddled With Her Fingers, Trying To Say.

"Not Worth It? Oh Hooo Trust Me Baby, It Most Certainly Is! All I Want Is My Family Home For The Holidays To Celebrate Together! You're Telling Me That's Not Worth Anything?"
Branch Crossed His Arms At Poppy.

Poppy Sighed To Herself.
"Branch, What I Mean Is, Remember Yesterday? Boom Looked Very Upset And Hurt After Those Flyers We Put Out, And Clay Got Literally Kicked Out His Favorite Club! What Is This Isn't Exactly How You're Thinking It'll Turn Out In The End?"

"My Brothers Ruined A BUNCH Of Things For Me Before And It Always Has An Ending Result, Well This Result Will Be Finally Celebrating Christmas Together! I Have High Hopes In This. Trust Ol' Branchifer!"
Branch Booped Poppy's Nose And Skipped Over To His Vision Board.

"The Tables Seriously Turned In This Adventure Of Ours -.-"
Poppy Said As She Rubbed Her Nose From Being Booped.

Branch Grabbed His Pointing Stick And Gestured At His Vision Board.
"Now We Gotta Focus Poppy! Our Next Victim In Mission: BroZone Home For The Holidays Isss...BRUCE! From Whom Claims To Stay In Vacay Island And Spend The Holidays With His Muppet Dog Something Hybrid Family...Which Someone Should Seriously Look Into How That Even Worked Or Happend"

"Ever Heard Of Cave Exploring? 🤨"
Poppy Replied To Branch.

"Of Course I Heard Of-.....Ohhhhh...I See It Now 😳"
Branch Immediately Thought Of What Cave Exploring Meant.

Poppy Giggled At That.
"Also Makes You Think Of Donkey And Dragon Amrite?"

"Focus! Bruce Is The Next Target So We Need To Brainstorm An Idea Of How To Ruin His Plan For Him To Join Back The Broliday!"
Branch Pointed His Pointing Stick At Bruce's Face On The Vision Board.

Poppy Tapped Her Chin.
"Hmmm...What Was Bruce's Broliday Tradition From Back In The Day?"

"Well His Tradition Was To Decorate Our Grandmother's Pod From Top To Bottom! He Had A Real Gift For It. Even Decorated Our Toilet Seat...Too Bad I Wasn't Potty Trained To Sit On It ☹️"
Branch Frowned For A Moment.

"Hmmmm...OOH! I GOT IT!"
Poppy Thought Of An Idea.

"TELL ME! TELL ME!"
Branch Immediately Took Out His Notepad For Notes.

"What If We....MAKE GINGERBREAD HOUSES, EAT COOKIE DOUGH, GO ICE SKATING, AND EVEN HOLD HANDS UNTIL OUR HANDS GET NUMB IN THE WINTER COLD! 😄"
Poppy Blurted Out Romantic Suggestions.

"....Seriously?"
Branch Said With His Eyebrow Raised.

"I Could've Said Ice Bathingggg.."
Poppy Said Looking Away With A Smirk.

Branch Groaned In His Hand.
"Ugh, Poppy, We'll Have Time For All Your Couple-y Christmas Wishlist Later!"

"I Hope That's Not A Empty Promise.."
Poppy Said With A Little Sadness In Her Tone.

Branch Lifted Up Poppy's Chin.
"Now C'mon, Think! How Do We Possibly Use Bruce's Old Tradition Of Decorating Against Him?? Mr. Dinkles, Do You Have Any Ideas?"

Meanwhile, In A Corner By The TV, Mr. Dinkles Wasn't Listening, As He Was Busy Watching His Annual Binge Of The Classic Christmas Special, "Dr. Suess's, How The Grinch Stole Christmas".

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Enjoyed The Sinister Ways Of The Grinch And Wished He Had Those Skills To Use Again The Trolls Race Species.

"OOOO! The Grinch! I Love This Special! EEEE! A CLASSIC!"
Poppy Ran To Sit Beside Mr. Dinkles In Glee And Squeals.

Branch Rolled His Eyes At Them.
"Guys, I Said To Brainstorm An Idea, Not Watch Classic Holiday Television! I Mean How Is This Supposed To Help In Any Way Possib-"

Suddenly, As Branch Started To Pay Attention To The Television, He Watched How The Grinch Was Stealing Christmas From Who-ville By Snatching And Taking Away All The Christmas Decorations In A Sneaky And Clever Way, Which Formed An Idea.

D I N G ! 💡

Branch Popped A Very Brilliant Idea In His Mind For A Plan.
"I Know...Just What To Do..."

"Huh?"
Poppy Turned Her Head As She Stood Up.

Branch Ran Back To His Vision Board And Began Sorting Out A Plan, And Writing Down Notes For His Next Scheme Of An Operation To Use On Bruce & His Family.

"Braaannncccchhh? What Are You Deviously Vision Boarding?"
Poppy Said As She Watched Her Boyfriend.

"Don't You See Poppy??"
Branch Replied To Her.

"I'm Trying Not To -.-"
Poppy Said Back With Sass.

"Mr. Dinkles, YOU'RE A GENIUS!"
Branch Said Towards Mr. Dinkles.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Has Been Trying To Tell Everyone That For The Past 3 Movies, 2 Holiday Specials, And 2 Spin-Off Shows.

"Branch, What's Your Plan?"
Poppy Curiously Asked Her Boyfriend.

Branch Mischievous Chuckled As He Presented His Idea For A Plan.
"I'm Going To STEAL Their Christmas.. 😈 🎁"

Poppy Gasped In Horror At The Plan.
"😱‼️‼️‼️ YOU'RE GONNA PLAY SANTA CLAUS?!?!"

"AH! A REVERSE Santa Claus! Just Like The Grinch! It's Simple, If Me And You Head Over To Vacay Island, Snatch Up ALL The Decorations In One Night From Everyone Including Bruce And His Family, They'll Have Absolutely NO Choice But To Spend The Broliday With Us!"
Branch Explained His Devious Plan.

"B-B-B-B-BUT.."
Poppy Started Stuttering Her Words In Shock.

"We Only Have Time For One But And That Is My Butt"
Branch Said At Poppy.

"BRANCH! YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE AWAY BRUCE'S FAMILY'S CHRISTMAS! WORSE, STEAL IT! IT'S JUST WROOOONGGGGG!"
Poppy Rapidly Shook Branch's Shoulders.

"The Grinch Did It. And He Redeemed Himself In Just A Half Hour Christmas Special"
Branch Shrugged At Her.

"THAT'S TELEVISION!!"
Poppy Said Back At Him.

"Then YOU Just Need To Watch Better Television 😌"
Branch Smirked At Her.

"UGGGGGHHHH! Branch, You Can't Just Pose As Santa Claus And Plan To Steal Christmas From Vacay Island! It'll Ruin Their Christmas! Plus, It's IMPOSSIBLE!"
Poppy Said, Trying To Talk Branch Out Of It.

Branch Scoffed At Poppy With A Snicker.
"Oh Pleaseeee, If Santa Claus, A Big Fat Guy With A Sleigh And Reindeer Can Bring Christmas In One Night, We Can Surely Take It Away In One Night Too! I Mean C'monnnn, What Does Santa Have That I Don't? 😁"

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Replied Back To Branch, With An Obvious Insult Comeback.

Branch Glared Over At Mr. Dinkles.
"......That's Hurtful -.-"

~~~

~At Vacay Island~

Over In Vacay Island During The Holiday Season, While It May Remain Sunny And Tropical, That Won't Stop The Vacaytioners From Having A Great Christmas On Their Home Island With A Tropical Christmas.

With Their Palm Trees 🌴 Decorated With Twinkling Christmas Lights, And Making Sandmen, Instead Of Snowmen, The Vacaytioners Had Their Own Way Of Celebrating The Holidays.

Around Their Restaurant Cantina Of "Bruce & Sons (& one daughter)", Bruce And His Wife, Brandy, Were Hanging Up Their Own Family Decorations For The Holidays All Around The Restaurant.

Brandy Lifted Up Her Husband To Place Up Some Of The Christmas Lights.
"Ahhhh~ Oh Bruce, I Love Christmas! The Lightssss, The Musicccc.."

"The Sensational Festive Loveee~"
Bruce Bounced His Eyebrows At His Wife.

Brandy Giggled To Herself.
"Take It Easy There Beachy Frosty, We Agreed To Stop At 13 Children"

"I Meant Like Snuggles And Cuddles-"
Bruce Corrected Himself.

"Oh- Right Of Course! I Guess, I-I Don't Know ☺️"
Brandy Blushed As She Got Flustered.

"YAAAAY! CHRISTMAS! CHRISTMAS! CHRISTMAS! CHRISTMAS!"
The 12 Sons & 1 Daughter Of Bruce And Brandy Came To Their Parents, Full Of Holiday Cheer.

"Heyyy My Little Seashells! Who's Ready For Christmassss?!"
Bruce Said At His Beautiful Children.

"WE AREEEEEE! 😄 😄 😄"
The Childreen All Cheered And Shouted Loudly.

"AND WHO'S READY FOR SANTAAA?!"
Bruce Asked His Children Again.

"MEEEEEE!! 😆"
Labreezey, Bruce & Brandy's Only Daughter, Replied Excitedly.

"Santa Claus?! Oh Pleaseeee, He Ain't Real!"
Bruce Jr. Said With An Eye Roll.

"Yeah LaBreezey, He's Just A Myth!"
Cove Added On.

"And A Phony! A BIG FAT RED PHONY! 🤣"
Freddy Said With A Laugh.

"W-What? Santa Claus Isn't....Real? 🥺"
LaBreezey Looked Up At Her Parents With Sad Cutsey Eyes.

"Ahem, Bruceeee.."
Brandy Cleared Her Throat And Motioned Her Husband To Chime In.

"Easy Off Your Sister Boys, Don't Worry Sweetie, Santa Claus Is Real! That's The Magic Of Christmas"
Bruce Said Down At His Daughter.

"So....He Won't Forget Me...Right?"
LaBreezey Asked Her Father, Worrysome.

Bruce Hopped Down To His Daughter.
"Santa Won't Ever Forget You My Darling Seashell, Or Any Of You! You're All Special And Santa Will Deliever The Happy Spirit Of Christmas To ALL Of Vacay Island! Definitely Won't Deliever Disappointment"

"Thanks Daddy 🥹"
LaBreezey Hugged Her Father Close And Hugged.

Bruce Got Squeezed Tightly By His Daughter And Struggled To Breathe.
"N-N-NO PROBLEM S-S-SWEETIE"

"That's The Magic Of Christmas In The Island~"
Brandy Leaned Down And Kissed Her Husband's Cheek.

As Their Children Exchanged Warm Smiles, A Reggae Christmas Beat Began To Play As Brandy Layed Across The Sand To Happily Sing Around Her Kids And Husband.

Brandy Began To Sing In Her Sweet Warm Voice To Her Children.
🎵 From the sunriseeeee,
to the moonlighttttt~ 🎵

🎵 It's Christmas
in the islandssss~ 🎵

🎵 That's right,
The islands! 🎵
Bruce Sung As He Slid Around His Children.

Brandy Picked Up Her Husband In Her Hands And Lifted Him.
🎵 When the sun shinessss
And the mood's rightttt~ 🎵

🎵 It's Christmas
on the islandssssss~ 🎵

🎵 THE ISLANDSSSS! 🎵
The 13 Children Happily Sang Out Loud With Big Smiles.

Bruce Started To Sing In His Smooth Heartthrob Voice As They Decorated.
🎵 Sunshine on a silhoutte,
Vacay Island's vibes the best! 🎵

🎵 A place where the
children play wild and free! 🎵
Bruce Waved Down At His Proud Children.

🎵 Brandy, believe my heart,
she gets me, baby 🎵
Bruce Winked At His Wife, Whom He Most Loved.

🎵 That day I don't regret
A Christmas I won't forget! 🎵

🎵 'Cause right now
I'm feeling kind of fortunate! 🎵

🎵 I love you with
my heart to deeeeaaaath~ 🎵
Bruce Harmonized As He Expressed His Love For His Family.

On The Rooftop Of The Restaurant Cantina, Branch, Poppy, And Mr. Dinkles Were All Watching And Spying On Bruce & Brandy's Family, As They Were Planning More Their Operation.

Branch Used His Binoculars To Spy On The Restaurant With A Smirk.
"Look A The Happy Family Having A Tropical Christmas On Their Sunny Islandddd....Not On My Watch"

"My God You REALLY Sound Like A Mr. Brinch Now -.-"
Poppy Glared Beside Her Boyfriend.

Branch Lowered His Binoculars.
"Okay, Is That Name REALLY Necessary?"

"Well It's True! You're Literally Planning To Steal Their Christmas! Look At Bruce And His Familyyyy, They Look So Happy And Peaceful!"
Poppy Said In Awe.

"Doesn't Mean I'm Necessarily A Grinch...Or A Brinch In Your Language 😒"
Branch Rolled His Eyes.

"It Kinda Does! You're A Mean One-"
Poppy Said Back At Her Boyfriend.

"I'm A Realist Poppy! Besides, Who Wants To Spend Christmas In A Tropical Climate Anyways?!"
Branch Replied To Her.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Rather Sun Bathe As The Naked Worm He Is And Get A Tan In Unnamed Places.

"Pretty Sure If It's Their Preference, It's Their Lifetstyle!"
Poppy Said.

"Well I'm About To Give Them The Gift Of Snow Once We Plan Our Heist Tonight And Bring Them ALL To The Broliday Soon"
Branch Put Back On His Binoculars.

"Why Exactly Are We Here During The Day Though? Is It To Have A Couples Swim?!"
Poppy Questioned Branch.

"No Poppy, In Order To Make Our Decent Across The Whole Vacay Island Tonight, I Need To Plan Out My Route To Each Sand Castle Home On The Island To Snatch Up Every Decoration Fast Before Morning!"
Branch Replied To His Girlfriend.

"All I Heard Was Grinch Grinch Grinch BRINCH Annnnd Another Grinch"
Poppy Said With An Attitude.

Ignoring His Girlfriend's Comments, As Branch Continued To Spy Out On Vacay Island And The Restaurant Cantina, His Eyes Glanced Down At How Happy Bruce & Brandy's Family Were Celebrating The Holidays Together.

Seeing This, It Made Branch Lower His Binoculars As He Began Reminiscing Of When His Broliday Felt Like As Magical, As A Family With His Brothers And Grandmother.

Poppy Noticed Branch's Change Of Emotion At Sudden.
"Hey? You Okay?"

Branch's Ears Were Drooped Down.
"Yeah....Yeah All Good...All Good...Uhm, Anyways! Uhhh, I Spotted Out Approximately 50 Sand Castle Homes On The Island! Which Means We'll Have To Leave To Reach Here By 10:00pm While Everyone's Asleep To Begin Our Heist!"

"Oh Great, You Said Our Again -.-"
Poppy Said With A Sassy Tone.

"Well Of Course! Santa's Nothing Without Hissss.....Elf 👀"
Branch Bounced His Eyebrows At His Girlfriend, Plotting Something.

Poppy Sighed Deeply To Herself.
"I Bet Viva Is Having More Fun In Her Subplot 🙄"

~~~

~Meanwhile~

Heading To The Inside Of A Pod, Satin & Chenille Kidnapped Viva, And Stuffed Her Inside Of A Big Sack As They Were Dragging Her Inside Of Their Pod By Force....Respectfully Of Course.

Viva Wiggled As She Shouted From Inside Of The Sack.
"HEY HEY LET ME OUT YOU CAMILA-NAPPERS! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! MONEY?! I-I CAN GIVE YOU MONEY! I HAVE CLAY'S CPA CREDIT CARD NUMBER MEMORIZED! 555-889-FUN! DID YOU GET THAT?! 555‐AAAAHH!"

With The Door Shut, Satin & Chenille Threw The Sack Out, Leading Viva To Fling Out And Faceplant Onto The Carpet Inside Of The Pod, With Still No Reason As To Why.

Viva Rubbed Her Head And Sat Up.
"Geez....Ever Heard Of Troll Trafficking? That's What That Was! And It's A Crime! Huh?"

Queen Barb, Waiting In The Pod, Was Smirking Down At Viva.
"It's About Time You Came Blondie, I've Been Expecting You~"

"Queen Barb??"
Viva Said As She Quickly Stood Up.

"Caught!"
Satin Said As She Shut The Door.

"And Sacked!"
Chenille Said As She Threw Away The Empty Sack.

"Satin? Chenille??? You Two Trollnapped Me Just To Bring Me To Your Pod??"
Viva Said.

"Sure Did! And We Did It In The Most FABOOOO Way ✨️"
Satin Posed For A Moment With Random Sparkles.

"If You Just Wanted Me Here, Why Didn't You Just Simply Call Me To Come?"
Viva Questioned The Twins.

"Where's The Fun In That??"
Satin And Chenille Say Together.

"....Ya Know What, Valid. I Used To Trollnapp Clay Into My Ice Cream Home Just To Force Him To Do Candy Necklaces With Me"
Viva Shrugged To Herself.

Barb Turned Viva Around To Face Her.
"Listen Here Curly! I Heard About Your Little Dilemma About Trying To Find Inspiration To Write A Song As A Gift To Your Sister, Pop-Squeak"

"Wow, I Guess We're Just Blabbing That Out To Anyone Now -.-"
Vivw Glared Over At The Twins.

"😁😁"
Satin And Chenille Just Grinned As They Were Guilty Into Spilling Tea.

"Besides, What's It To You?"
Viva Questioned At Barb.

"Uhm, HELLOOOO! I'm Poppy's Bestie And She Tells Me ALLLLLLL About Her Life. Often Yaps. Soooo It's Kinda Sad When Her Own Sister Doesn't Know As Much As I Do"
Barb Said.

"Oooo, She Kinda Clocked You There Veev"
Chenille Said, Looking At Her Nails.

"Yeah, I Know! You Don't Have To Rub It In. Look! I Know I Haven't Been Around Poppy's Pretty Much Whole Life, And Don't Know Much About It! We're Still In Our Catching Up Phase!"
Viva Crossed Her Arms, Pouting.

"Exactly Why I'm Here To Help You Blondie! I Know Enough About Pop-Squeak To Give You Inspiration For Your Song Gift, Truuussst The Queen Of Rock 😌"
Barb Said With A Proud Grin.

"Pfffft, Yeah Right. Like I'm Gonna Take Advice From The Troll Who Almost Wiped Out The Entire Troll Kingdom With Rock Zombies"
Viva Chuckled And Headed To The Door.

Barb Rolled Her Eyes And Shrugged.
"Okaaaay, But Good Luck Knowing Forever That You DISAPPOINTED Your Only SISTER In The World By Not Out-Gifting Herrrr.."

Viva Immediately Paused And Slowly Turned Back Around.
".....Alright, What Do You Got?"

Barb Wrapped Her Arm Around Viva's Shoulder.
"GLAD YOU ASKED CURLY! Look, If You're Gonna Get Inspiration For Poppy's Song, You're Gonna Need To THINK Like Poppy"

"And How Do I Do That? We're Not Exactly Twins"
Viva Said.

"Lucky You -.-"
Satin And Chenille Blurted Out In The Corner.

"You Do That By Seeing The World From Her Eyes! With That, You'll See Her Perspective Of Life And You'll Enter That GRASP Of Inspo For Your Songooooo"
Barb Winked With A Smirk.

Viva Gave A Slight Sarcastic Laugh.
"HA! And Again I Ask, How Do I Do That?"

Barb Held Out The Palm Of Her Hand, Filled With Black Glitter.
"See This?"

"Black Glitter?"
Viva Tilted Her Head, Confused.

"Nope, Back Home, We Call This....Rock-Nip 🌿 🎸"
Barb Gained A Mischievous Grin.

Viva Giggled For A Second.
"Rock-Nip? What Does That Even-....Wait....Rock-Nip Sounds A Lot Like Cat-Nip...AND CAT-NIP MAKES CATS-"

Without A Second Of Hesitation, Barb Blew The "Rock-Nip" Into Viva's Face, And Right Into Her Eyes, Which Automatically Made Her Feel Odd, Weary, And Wonky From The Strange Effect Of The Black Glitter Substance.

Viva Wobbled And Rubbed Her Eyes As She Almost Felt Faint.
"ARRRGGHHH! WHAT THE....WHAT WAS THAaaAaA....thE...wEiRd...fEeliNg..cRacK...bOohOoPiEloOpsiE....😵‍💫"

💭 ✨️ 🎸 ✨️ 💭

On The Grass In Troll Village, It Was A Sunny Day In The Forest As It Looked Very Familar, But Viva Slowly Woken Up And Stood Up, Until She Noticed Something Different About Her.

In This Hallucination, Viva Was Seen To Look Like Poppy, With Her Hair Up High As Poppy Once Had Her Hair, Poppy's Old Blue-ish Dress, And Poppy's Original Headband From When She Was A Princess.

"H-H-Huh?"
Viva Looked Around The Troll Village As It Was Completely Empty.

Viva Looked Around And Examined How She Looked.
"What The?! Poppy's Old Dress?? Her Princess Headband?! HER ONCE HIGH-UP HAIR?!?! Ooo, Actually Kinda Cute, But WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!"

Suddenly, Floating Around On A Random Cloud, Queen Barb Was Riding It As She Had Her Guitar In Her Hands, Ready To Perform.

"WELCOME BLONDIE! TO YOUR POPPY-FILLED HALLUCINATION!"
Barb Shouted Towards Viva.

"MY POPPY-FILLED HALLUCINATION?!? Wait The Black Glitter....YOU DRUGGED ME?!?!"
Viva Shouted Back At Barb.

"NO! IT'S ROCK-NIP AND SENT YOU THROUGH A WEIRD WONKY HALLUCINATION THAT ONLY YOU CAN SEE.....So Yeah I Guess I Did Drug You 🤔"
Barb Thought To Herself.

"OHHH OKAY, FAIR POINT"
Viva Replied Back.

"BUT THIS IS NO ORDINARY HALLUCINATION, AS IT IS...A ROCK OPERA HALLUCINATION! 🎸 🔥"
Barb Shredded Her Guitar For A Moment.

"OFFFF COURSE IT IS...WHY ELSE?"
Viva Shrugged At Her Weird Life.

"THIS HALLUCINATION WILL HELP YOU SEE THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR SISTER'S EYES, FROM HER VERY FIRST ADVENTURE AND IT'LL GIVE YOU THE INSPIRATION FOR HER SONG GIFT!"
Barb Quickly Explained To Viva.

"AGAIN....WHY ELSE? BUT ANYBOO, LET'S DO THIS!"
Viva Said As She Put On Her Game Face.

Barb Began To Play Her Guitar To The Rock Opera And Sing Out Loud. 🎸
"And Now We Begin Our Quest.."

🎵 When our pinkie
was only a princess! 🎵

🎵 She was happy
and led by her dad! 🎵

🎵 Had the best life
and also the butts! 🎵

🎵 Yeah, we mean literal
multiple glitter BUTTS! 🍑 🎵

Posing As Poppy In The Hallucination, Viva Skipped Around, Danced, Sang, And Partied With Her King Peppy And Her Friends Having Absolutely No Care In The World, And LOVING Glitter Butts 🍑✨️

🎵. But the bergens,
they, of course,
soon did come! 🎵

🎵 Chef had one mission
to find everyone- 🎵

Marching In And Destroying The Party, Chef The Bergen Interrupted The Fun As She Scared Off All Of The Trolls In The Village And Attempted To Kidnap Some.

🎵 Poppy and dad
didn't know what to do! 🎵

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"
Most Of The Trolls All Screamed And Scattered Around From Chef.

"ARE WE DOOMEDDDD?!?!,#^!(@*$"
One Of The Trolls Screamed Out.

🎵 Yes,
they were doomed! 🎵

🎵 The trolls,
they ran and they hid! 🎵

🎵 They glitter tooted
and threw a fit! 🎵

🎵 Chef set fear to the village
and crushed it to bits! 🎵

🎵 I'm so freaking upset,
I can't sing about it!!! 🎵

"M U H A H A A A
I
C R U S H
Y O U
A L L
I N T O
B I T S ! 👹 ☠️"
Chef Belched Out In A Monsterous Roar And Stomped The Party With Her Foot.

Viva Ran To Her Helpless Father On The Ground, And Shook Him.
"Father! What Are We Gonna Do?!"

"Don't Worry Daughter! We'll All Just....die 😵 ⚰️"
King Peppy Faked His Death And Vanished Into A Random Coffin.

" N O O O O O O O O ❗️❗️❗️❗️"
Viva Screamed Out Dramatically On Her Knees With A Dramatic Spotlight.

🎵 Some things can't be fixed,
even with happy minds.. 🎵

🎵 Saddest story that you
could be even blindeddd.. 🎵

"Can I Go To The Bathroom? 🙋‍♀️"
Viva Raised Her Hand, Interrupting The Rock Opera.

"What? No, We're In The Middle Of Something!"
Barb Replied Back.

"But I Really Gotta Go-"
Viva Held Her Area And Waddled Around, Desperately Having To Go.

"TOUGH BLONDIE! 🫵"
Barb Shouted Back At Her.

"OH C'MON! HAVE A HEART!"
Viva Begged Again.

"Womp Wompity Womp 🫤....MOVING ON! 🎸 "
Barb Continued Her Rock Opera Singing Narration.

🎵 Now Poppy was off
on her own- 🎵

Viva Marched Through The Scary Forest Alone To Find Her Friends, Confident She'll Make It To Bergen Town On Her Own, Even If She Fell, She Would Get Back Up Again.

🎵 Without her father
and without a team! 🎵

🎵 So off on her own she just needed the powerrrr.. 🎵

"I WILL FIND THE POWER OF HARMOONNYYYY! 🎸 🔥 🎸 "
Slash, The Famous Classic Rock Human Performer From The 80's, Randomly And Somehow Joined The Hallucination Rock Opera.

"WELCOME TO THE HALLUCINATION EVERYONE, SLASH!! 💥"
Barb Introduced As She Played Guitars With Slash, Side By Side.

🎵 ✨️ A positive quest...
...for positivityyyyy ✨️ 🎵
A Bunch Of Singing Glowbugs Angelically Sang Around Viva.

Viva Stood Strong On Top Of A Flower In The Middle Of The Forest.
" 😼💪"

"I NEED TO FIND THE POWER OF HARMONYYYY 🗣 😩 🔥 🎸 "
Slash Shouted Out As He Rocked Out Beside Barb, Creating Flames. 🔥

🎵 ✨️ A positive quest...
...for positivityyyyy ✨️ 🎵
The Random Backup Singing Glowbugs Continued Their Angelic Harmony.

🎵 But the power was
no simple task- 🎵

🎵 Too many obstacles
lay in her path! 🎵

🎵 Chased by a snake,
eating a poison berry! 🎵

🎵 That's when she was saved by the village grouch made
of timber and lake! 🎵

🎵 Who said- 🎵

"i'M gOnnA hElP yOu bUt fiRsT wE nEED a pLan
nOt a wiShliSt, a sEriOus pLan

The Village Grouch Made Of Timber And Lake Said.

"YAAAY THIS WON'T RUIN THE TOUR!"
Viva Hugged The Village Grouch.

" t h e
w o r l d
t o u r ? ! 😨 ♻️ ➗️ "
The Village Grouch Said In Shock As If He Got Caught With A DUI.

🎵 So our optimistic gal went
back on her quest! 🎵

🎵 Joined along by a
pessimistic at best- 🎵

🎵 Together they feared
no cloud thingy! 🎵

🎵 As it was
their destiny.. 🎵

"THEY WILL FIND THE POWER OF HARMONYYYY 🎸 🌿 🔥 🌐 🎠 "
Slash Rocked Out Again And Hip Thrusted To His Guitar.

🎵 ✨️ It was a dream that
works for total
opposites because.. ✨️🎵
The Still Absolute Random Glowbugs And Their Angelic Harmony Sung.

"THEY NEED TO FIND THE POWER OF HARMONYYYYY 🎸 🫁 💪 ⚡️👅 "
Slash Licked His Guitar To Really Feel The Power Of His Ultimate Guitar Shredding.

🎵 But the bergens were not impressed- 🎵

🎵 By the puny pink and
grey trolls after them! 🎵

🎵 They looked down and rolled their eyes and
then without any warning- 🎵

🎵 O H
M Y
G O D ! 🎵

🎵 They used a fellow companion to overrule the bunch
and became
a total defeat session! 🎵

🎵 Poppy was defeated,
her mission uncompleted! 🎵

🎵 She totally
freaking blew it-🎵

🎵 O H
M Y
G O D ! 🎵

🎵 Broken and vanquished,
our hero lays in the pot
with her peers- 🎵

🎵 As the Chef screamed out- 🎵

"YOU'RE GOING DOWN 👹 ☄️ 🍳"
Chef Told Viva And The Trolls Down In The Pot, They Were About To Be Cooked In.

Creek Evily And Sinisterly Mocker His Ex-Friends And Viva.
"Unskilled, untrained, so un-queenly
Unskilled, untrained, so un-queenly
Unskilled, untrained, so un-queenly!"

"You suck
You so f r e a k i n g suck 👺 🕷"
A Spider Lowered Down To Viva And Told Her Those Exact Words.

🎵 And now I'm afraid
this is the end
of your story.. 🎵

After Finally Awaking From Her Weird And Out-Of-Nowhere Rock Opera Hallucination, Viva Slowly Sat Up From The Floor And Rubbed Her Head.

"Uggghhh....Oh Sweet Candy That Was. Woozy.."
Viva Said As She Rubbed Her Head.

Satin And Chenille Quickly Ran To Viva And Helped Her Up.
"VIVA!"

"Are You Alright?!"
Satin Asked To Viva.

"Did It Work?!"
Chenille Asked To Viva.

"Yeah....Yeah It Did Work...And I Saw Some Things That My Sister Went Through 😦"
Viva Replied As She Remembered.

Barb Chuckled With A Grin.
"Soooooo My Rock-Nip Worked? 👀"

"It Did!"
Viva Stood Up On Her Own Feet.

"AND WHAT DID YOU LEARN??"
Barb Asked Viva With Hype Energy.

"I Learned....THAT MY SISTER IS EVEN BETTER THAN A GIFT GIVER CAUSE SHE'S AWESOME AND IS MORE SPECIAL THAT SHE IS WORTH MORE THAN A SONG THAT I CAN'T POSSIBLY GIVE HER!! 😭"
Viva Begged To Sob And Immediately Dashed Out The Wall In A Yellow Blur.

"....."
Viva, Satin & Chenille Just Stared At The Viva-Sized Hole In The Wall She Ran Out Of.

"I Guess She Didn't Find The Power Of Harmony 🫤"
Barb Said In A Disappointed Tone.

"SHE COULDN'T FIND IT WITHINNNNNNN 😩 🗣 🔥 🎸 🦾"
Slash Appeared Out Of Nowhere And Sung His Rocking Guts Out.

"You Can Go Now Man -.-"
Barb Glared Over At Slash.

Slash Sighed And Played A Sad Guitar Riff As He Exited The Wattpad Scene.
"🎸 💔 🥲 🚮"

~Back In The Bunker~

With Their 3rd Operation Plan In Mind, It Was Time To Get Into Character For The Mission, As Branch Fully Embraced And Dressed Into Santa Claus, As Poppy Sang In The Background To Fit This Moment.

Poppy Hovered Over Branch's Shoulder, Making The Santa Suit.
🎵 You're a mean one,
Mr. Brinch! 🎵

🎵 You really are a heeeeeel! 🎵

🎵 You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel,
Mr. Brinchhhhh~ 🎵

🎵 You're a bad banana with a...
.....greasy black peeeeellll! 🎵
Poppy Hung A Greasy Black Peel From A Banana Above Branch's Head.

Branch Paused Making His Suit, To Glare Up At His Girlfriend.
"Seriously? -.-"

"Whaaat? It's Fitting For Your Character Right Now And It's Catchyyy ☹️"
Poppy Frowned And Whined.

"Yeah And It's Also Distracting!"
Branch Said As He Continued To Make His Santa Suit.

Poppy Sighed And Turned Away From Her Boyfriend.
"Fineeeee.."

"Thank You"
Branch Measured The Size For His Santa Suit.

Poppy Smirked And Leaned Down To Branch's Ear Playfully.
🎵 🤭 .....You're a vile one, Mr. Brinch,
You have termites in your smileeee~ 🎵

"POPPY PLEASE-"
Branch Said, Starting To Get Annoyed.

"WELL THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO???! THIS IS TOTAL SIDE CHARACTER TREATMENT!"
Poppy Said With An Attitude.

"Relaxxxx, Your Elf Costume Is Almost Done"
Branch Mentioned As He Continued His Work.

Poppy Rolled Her Eyes, Not Realizing.
"Yeah Well I Don't Care If You're Making Suits For This- MY WHAAAAAT!?!??!?@,@#^*!*@%"

~~~

~~~

Due To Absolute Force, Branch Created Him And Poppy A Santa Claus Outfit For Their Mission, As Well As A Familar Colorful Green Elf Outfit For Poppy, Checking Themselves Out In The Mirror.

"We Don't Look Like Ourselves Branch, Not At All .____."
Poppy Blurted Out The Obvious To Her Boyfriend, Hating Everything About This.

"That's The Point Poppy! We're Santa Claus And His Lil Elf! Say What You Want, But I'd TOTALLY Rock A Beard!"
Branch Checked Himself Out And Stroked His Fake Santa Beard.

"John Dory Would Rock A Beard Better Than You -.-"
Poppy Replied Back At Her Boyfriend.

"Oh C'mon Poppy, Loosen Upppp! I Thought You Of ALLLL Trolls Would Enjoy A Colorful Costume!"
Branch Said To Her.

"Yeah, If It Were For The Right Reason! We're About To Pull A Heist To Steal Christmas From Vacay Island! Which Includes, YOUR BROTHER AND HIS FAMILY!"
Poppy Said, With Her Arms Crossed.

"They'll Thank Me Once We Celebrate The Broliday And All It's Glory ✋️"
Branch Sassed With His Hand Up.

Poppy Sighed And Mumbled Under Her Breath.
"Hhhhh...Doing This For Him, Doing This For Him, Doing This For Himm.."

"Now There's Only One Thing Missing!"
Branch Reached In His Hair For Something.

Going Over To Mr. Dinkles, Branch Wrapped And Tied Up A Reindeer Antler Onto His Head And Placed A Fake Red Dot Nose Onto His Face, Making Him Look Like A Rudolph Reindeer Worm.

"Awwww! Adorbs!"
Poppy Said In Awe Of Mr. Dinkles.

Branch Squealed With A Giggle And Clapped His Hands.
"HEHEHEHE! Alright Mr. Dinkles, You're A Reindeer And Here's Your Motivation, You're Very Different From The Other Reindeers, They Make Fun Of Your Nose, It Gets Foggy One Night And Santa Needs Your Help To Guide The Sleigh! Now Imagine ALLLLL Of That In Stop Motion Animation! ACTION! 📣"

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Simply Mewed One Time, Making His Red Nose Pop Off.

"BRIIILLLANNNTT! You Reject Your Own Nose Cause It Represents Christmas, In Which, WE'RE ABOUT TO STEAL! CUT, NEXT SCENE, Moving On 🚶‍♂️"
Branch Marched Off From This Scene, To Begin The Plan Into Action.

~At Night~

In Vacay Island, With The Night Dawning Upon The Beach, And Every Vacaytioner Residents Sleeping In The Sand Castle Homes, Made It The Perfect Time Of Night For Branch, Poppy, And Mr. Dinkles To Arrive To Put Their Operation Into Action.

In Branch's Sleigh, Made Out Of Parts From A Junkyard, The Crew Landed Ontop Of One Of The Sand Castle Homes Of The Island, Ready To Start Their Heist.

Branch Hopped Out Of The Sleigh And Patted His Santa Belly.
"HO HO HOOOOO! MERRY HEIST-MASSSS! 🎅 MEHEHEHEEEE~"

"Alright, Tone It Down There Krampus-"
Poppy Said As She Got Out The Sleigh.

"C'mon Popifur! Play Into Character! Where's That Elf Energy?!"
Branch Nudged Poppy With A Grin.

Poppy Sighed With A Lil Smile, Not Resiting Her Boyfriend's Charm.
"I'm A Holly Jolly Elf, Here To Serve You Great Ol' Saint Nick"

"Eh, Mediocre But It'll Work. NOW! Let's Begin Our Mission!"
Branch Grabbed His Empty Sack Out The Sleigh.

Poppy Lowered Her Head To The Window Of The Sand Castle Home.
"I Think This Is Bruce's Home!"

"Perfect! Right Above It! Now Mr. Dinkles, Stay Up Here And Watch Guard In Case If Someone Spots Us"
Branch Patted Mr. Dinkles Head On His Fake Antler.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Would Rather Die And Drown In The Ocean Of Vacay Island Than Deal With This Grinch Shit.

Branch Tapped On The Sand Chimney Of The Roof.
"Hm, Seems Sturdy Enough. Alright Poppy, You First"

"Me First?! BUT YOU'RE SANTA!"
Poppy Gestured At Her Boyfriend.

"I Just Need To See If This Chimney Supports Our Sizes!"
Branch Replied Back.

"THEN YOU FIRST MR. HO HO HOE!"
Poppy Shouted Back At Him.

"Rude 🙄 💅✋️"
Branch Sassed At His Girlfriend.

"Now Go!"
Poppy Told Branch To Go First.

"But Heh....I Can Be Uh....Claustrophobic 😅"
Branch Looked Away Nervously.

"Oh Yeah? Well Now You Can Be SANTA-CLAUSTROPHOBIC! NOW DIVE DOWN CUTIE! DIVE DIVE DIVE!"
Poppy Grabbed Branch Up And Shoved Him Down The Chimney.

"AH! OW OW OW POPPY CHILL WAIT OW-"
Branch Shouted From Inside The Chimney.

Poppy Jumped On Branch Rapidly In The Chimney To Push Him Down.
"GET! DOWN! THERE!"

"WHOOOAAAAAHHHHHHH/WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Poppy And Branch Both Screamed In Different Ways, Going Down The Chimney.

~~~

~Inside~

As The Couple Went Down The Chimney, They Struggled To Fit Down All At Once, Resulting In Poppy And Branch Landing And Rolling In The Living Room Of Bruce And Brandy's Family Sand Castle Home.

"OW OW OOF OW D'OW DAH!"
Both Of Them Yelped Out Loud As They Faceplanted On The Sand Rug.

Poppy And Branch Sat Up, Rubbing Their Heads And Groaning.
"Uggggghhhh.....😳😳"

Standing In Front Of The Couple In Shock, LaBreezey, Bruce & Brandy's One Daughter, Was Stuck In Place As She Was Staring At Poppy And Branch, Thinking They Were Actually Santa Claus And An Elf.

LaBreezey Couldn't Believe Her Eyes.
"😦 Oh My Gosh....OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH! IT'S SANTA CLAUS AND HIS ELF! EEEE!!! THIS IS AMAZING! You're Shorter And Bluer And Pinker Than I Thought 🤔 BUT AMAZING! Okay Remain Calm LaBreezeyyyy...Calm Calm Calm.."

"....."
Poppy And Branch Didn't Speak Or Move, And Just Blankly Confusingly Stared At LaBreezey.

"Namaste 🧘‍♀️ Namaste 🧘‍♀️......EEEEE!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS SANTA CLAUS!"
LaBreezey Ran To Pick Up Branch And Hug Him Tight.

"AND MERRY CHRISTMAS ELFIEEE!"
LaBreezey Ran To Pick Up Poppy And Hugged Her Tight As Well.

"🤗"
Poppy Was Still Confused But Still Hugged LaBreezey Back Warmly.

"OOH WAIT! ALMOST FORGOT! My Dad And Our Family Baked You Flufflebread Cookies! 🍪"
LaBreezey Held Up A Plate Full Of Cookies.

Poppy And Branch Both Looked At The Cookies, And Grabbed A Cookie, And Exchanged A Smile At One Another, Knowing How Happy This Made LaBreezey.

"EEEHEHEHEHEEEE! This Is The Best Christmas Ever! I KNEW YOU WERE REAL! Thanks For Making This Holiday Even More Special Santa! My Family Is Gonna Love This!"
LaBreezey Hugged Branch Close Again.

As Branch Was Hugged By LaBreezey, He Felt An Almost Regret Of His Plan Seeing How Happy LaBreezey Was Of Seeing Santa And The Holiday Cheer It Brought Her, As That's All He Wanted For His Family.

"I Know I'm Breaking The Rules Right Now, But Don't Count It Against Me! Okay? ALRIGHT GOING TO BED NOW! You Never Saw Meeee~"
LaBreezey Said As She Put Branch Down And Ran To The Stairs.

"I Can't Go To Sleep, There's No WAY I Can Go To Sleep! I Just Saw Santa And His Elf- WHOA! OW! OUCH! OWWWW!!!"
LaBreezey Suddenly Fell Down The Stairs And Slammed On The Ground.

"😬😬"
Poppy And Branch Reacted At That And Flinched From LaBreezey Falling.

"I Think I Broke My Puppet-Bone...NOPE! ALL GOOD! 👍 DON'T WORRY! GOING TO BED NOWWW! OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSHHH! 😆"
LaBreezey Continued To Go Up The Stairs To Her Room.

Poppy Smiled At LaBreezey Then Turned Over To Branch.
"She's So Sweet And Just Wanted Christmas Right? Branch? All Good Still?"

Branch Was Stuck In That Sweet Moment Then Snapped Out Of It.
"Huh? Oh Yeah All Good...Still All Good! Yeah! Focus Time!"

Helping Each Other Up Off Of The Ground, Poppy And Branch Glanced Around The Living Room Of The Sand Castle House Of All The Christmas Decorations And The Twinkling Lights Of Their Holiday Palm Tree.

Branch Took Out His Candy Cane Swords From His Hair, With A Smirk.
"Alright! Now Let's STEAL Christmas!"

Using His Candy Cane Swords, Branch Shot Out Nets From The Candy Canes To Catch And Swipe Up Decorations Into The Net, Taking Them All Down From The Wall.

Getting His Magnet Gadget, He Used A Christmas Star Magnet To Lure The Nails That Were Hanging Up The Stockings On The Wall, For Poppy To Take Each Stocking.

Taking Out His Ninja Christmas Stars, Branch Flung Them To The Christmas Palm Tree To Wrap It Up Skinny For Him To Grab And Carry On His Back, Forming A Devious Grinch-Like Grin On His Face.

~~~

LaBreezey Entered Her Room, Still Amazed By What She Saw.
"I KNEW IT! I KNEW SANTA WAS REAL! Take That My Pathetic Muppet Brothers! Ha Ha! 😌....Unless...Wait A Minute.."

LaBreezey Quickly Went To Her Favorite Christmas Book And Noticed Something That Was Different Between The Santa Claus In Her Book And The Santa Claus She Just Saw Downstairs.

"This Santa Claus Here Has A Small Nose....While The One Downstairs....HAD A GIANT UNCANNY SIZE FOR A NOSE....THAT WAS BLUE!!! GAAASSSSPPPP....Imposter Santaaa -.-"
LaBreezey Grew A Fist For Her Hands.

LaBreezey Went Into Her Closet, To Reveal Some Weapons.
"This Is My Sand Castle Home....And I HAVE To Defend It 😤"

LaBreezey Immediately Grabbed Her Supplies And Planned Out Some Sneaky Traps She Would Use Against The Imposter Santa Claus And Elf In Her Home.

LaBreezey Smirked At The Wattpad Readers For A Moment.
"This Is It....Don't Get Scared Now 💪"

~~~

Back Downstairs In The Living Room, Poppy Relentlessly Continued To Helpd Branch With His Heist To Steal Christmas From Vacay Island, Even If She Really Didn't Want To Support This.

Branch Carried The Christmas Palm Tree On His Back, Singing To Himself.
"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Christmas Goes Awaaaay, All That's Fun In This Blue Troll, Is A Bro-liday In His Futureeee, HEY!"

Poppy Groaned In Annoyance, As She Snatched Up From Presents. 🎁
"Do You Have To Sing??"

"I Always Sing When Something Goes Right For Me!"
Branch Replied To His Girlfriend.

"Does This HAAAAVEEE To Go Right For You?!"
Poppy Said Back.

"Yes, Cause I'm Santa Claus And Santa Is Always Right My Beautiful Elf~"
Branch Flirted And Bounced His Eyebrows At Poppy.

Poppy Glared At Her Boyfriend.
"You're Just Lucky You're Cute -.-"

Branch's Ears Twitch At Sudden As He Heard Something From The Kitchen.
"Huh? Did You Hear That?"

"Other Than Your Obnoxious Jingle Belling? No"
Poppy Replied Back.

"Shoulddddd Weeee...Check It Out?"
Branch Asked Towards Poppy.

"._________."
Poppy Blankly Stared At Branch, Knowing Damn Well She Wasn't Going To Check.

Branch Sighed And Began To Walk To The Kitchen.
"Okay Okaaaay I'm Going -.-"

~~~

Heading Into The Kitchen, Branch Slowly Opened The Door And Glanced Around The Area, To See Where The Noise Might've Came From.

"Hellooooo...? Any One Getting A Midnight Snack Heh.."
Branch Said As He Looked Around Nervously.

Suddenly, A Slight Noise Came From Inside Of The Fridge, Sounding Like Someone Was Inside Of It And Waiting To Be Found.

Branch Went To The Fridge And Slowly Opened The Door To See LaBreezey Inside, Holding A Gun Full Of Harden Seashells.

"Hello 🙂"
LaBreezey Immediately Shot Branch In The Head With The Hard Seashell.

Branch Got Hit In The Forehead And Screamed From His Lungs.
"YEEEEEEE-AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

~~~

Branch Went Back In The Living Room, Holding His Forehead In Pain.
"OW! OW OW DAMN! OW OW!!"

"BRANCH?! WHAT HAPPEND?! WHAT'S WRONG?!"
Poppy Said Concerned.

"MY DARLING PUPPET OF A NIECE IS ARMED-"
Branch Said, Still In Pain.

"What?! That's Ridiculousssss! I'll Check The Kitchen While You Go Outside And Get Fresh Air"
Poppy Patted Branch's Head As She Went To The Kitchen.

"UGGHHH, ARGH!"
Branch Still Yelped In Pain.

~~~

Poppy Innocently Went To The Door And Chuckled To Herself.
"Poor Branch, Just Being Paranoid And Seeing Thingssss, This Santa Thing Is Really Going To His Head.

Before Poppy Could Grab The Door, LaBreezey, On The Other Side Of The Door, Placed An Electric Eel On The Doorknob And Quickly Ran Away.

Meanwhile, Branch Quickly Went Outside Of The Sand Castle Home To Rub His Head Comfortingly Before Going Back Inside.

"Alright...I Think I Feel A Little Bit Better...Darn Seashells And My Adorable Niece.."
Branch Mumbled To Himself Before Going Back To The Door.

At The Same Time, As Branch Opened The Door And Poppy Opened The Door, Branch Got Shot With Blazing Hot Fire On His Hair, While Poppy Got Electrocuted By The Electric Eel On The Doorknob Of The Kitchen.

🔥 ⚡️ 🔥 ⚡️ 🔥⚡️

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️"
Both Screamed And Hollered In The Most Ultimate Pain Possible.

"YEEEEES! YES! YES! YES!"
LaBreezey Cheered To Herself, Proud Of Her Traps.

~~~

As Branch Got Rid Of The Fire From His Hair From The Nearby Toilet Water, Poppy Ran Back Into The Living Room In Pain From Her Hand Being Electrocuted.

"Ah...Ah Ah Ah!...Tsss Ooohh.."
Branch Tried To Pat His Hair But Was Still Hot From The Fire.

"Ow Ow Owwieeee.."
Poppy Held Her Electrocuted Hand.

"P-Poppy? You Alright?"
Branch Quickly Ran To His Girlfriend.

"N-No Heh Not Really....Just A Little Electrocuted Is All"
Poppy Gestured At Her Hand.

"Lemme See!"
Branch Grabbed Poppy's Hand Palm To Check, And To See A Mark From The Doorknob Placed There.

"Yeesh...Really Left A Mark Huh? Heh Heh?"
Branch Said Jokingly Before Shutting Up.

"-.- Branch....I've Been ELECTROCUTED!"
Poppy Yelled At Her Boyfriend.

"OKAY OKAY! Don't Worry! We Already Got All The Decorations Fron The House, Let's Just Make Sure LaBreezey Goes Make To Bed First So There Will Be NO Witnesses!"
Branch Told To Poppy.

"I'M UP HERE YA PHONIES! COME AND GET ME!"
LaBreezey Shouted From The Top Of The Staircase.

Hearing LaBreezey's Voice, Poppy And Branch Immediately Ran Towards The Stairs, Until They Were Stopped By 2 LARGE Sandbags Swinging Down From Upstairs To Hit Both Onto The Ground.

W H A C K !

"WAAAAAAHHHH- OOF!"
Poppy And Branch Yelped As They Fell Back Down The Stairs Together.

"F-F-Found...Her.."
Poppy Said In Pain.

"You Guys Give Up? Or Are Ya Thirsty For Moreeee? 👀"
LaBreezey Said As She Ran Back To Her Room.

Until, All Of A Sudden, A Sleeping Tranquilizer Dart Was Shot From Behind LaBreezey And Right Into The Back Of Her Head, Making Her Sleep And Flop On The Ground.

Right Behind Her, Was Mr. Dinkles Who Shot The Sleeping Tranquilizer Dart, Who Knew There Shouldn't Be Any Witnesses....At Any Cost.

~~~

~On The Roof~

Coming Back Up On The Chimney, Branch And Poppy Squeezed Out Of The Chimney With All The Decorations They Stole And Placed It Into The Sleigh.

"FINALLY....THAT'S IT....I'M DONE WITH THIS HEIST!"
Poppy Slammed Down Her Elf Hat.

"Okay Maaaybe One Little Slip Up- BUT HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW BRUCE'S DAUGHTER WAS ARMED?!??!"
Branch Said Back.

"I've Seen Home Alone Every Year -.-, Even I Could've Seen That Coming!"
Poppy Replied With An Attitude.

".....Fair Enough- STILL! 1 House Down, 49 Left!"
Branch Told To Poppy.

"OH SUGARPLUM NO! NO MORE STEALING DECORATIONS! I'M DONE! MY HAND GOT SPARKED TO DEATH AND GOT HIT WITH A FLIPPIN SANDBAG! MY NOSE IS THROBBING AND YOUR HAIR IS BURNING ASH RIGHT NOW! NO! NO WAY I'M CONTINUING THIS TONIGHT!"
Poppy Crossed Her Arms Firmly.

"Hhhhh..."
Branch Sighed To Himself Until He Kissed Poppy's Cheek Sweetly To Convince Her.

".....Okay Fine 😒"
Poppy Immediately Gave In From Her Boyfriend's Affection.

"Thanks"
Branch Gave Poppy A Sweet Smile In A Thankful Return.

Coming Back On The Roof, Mr. Dinkles Seen Poppy And Branch, Noticing How Attacked And Horrible They Looked, From Branch's Hair Burned And Poppy's Nose Throbbing And Electrocuted Hand....And Really Wanted To Laugh At Them.

Branch Glared Down At The Reindeer Antler Of A Worm.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT.....Rudolph -.-"
