Chapter 28: "Can't Stop the Feeling"

Bridget smiled nervously at Gristle as he came to her.

"Lady Glittersparkles?" he asked.

"What?" Chef questioned.

Bridget skated toward him as the trolls retracted their hair and she helped them on the table.

"But how? Why? Why did you do this?" Gristle asked.

"Because she didn't think you would want someone like her," Poppy answered.

"I mean, hello? Is it me you're looking for? I don't think so," Bridget said sadly.

"Guards, finish her!" Chef demanded.

"No," Gristle said worriedly.

"Wait! King Gristle, when you were with Bridget, you were feeling something, weren't you?" Jamie asked.

"Yeah, I was. I just thought it was too much pizza," Gristle answered.

"Me, too," Bridget agreed.

"That feeling? That was happiness," Poppy said.

"What?" the Bergens asked.

"But you have to eat a troll to be happy. Everyone knows that! Don't you?" Bibbly pointed out.

"But King Gristle's never eaten a troll in his life, right?" Poppy asked.

"No, I haven't. Yet, here I am. My belly empty...and my heart full," Gristle smiled, putting the rollerblade on Bridget's foot and held her hands.

All the Bergens awed at the moment and the trolls smiled. Branch put an arm around Jamie as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Don't listen to them! There's only one way to be happy. My way!" the Chef remarked, shoving the two Bergens apart.

"No!" Bridget yelled.

"With me in charge," Chef said, sent Branch in the air, and grabbed him as she continued, "I'll serve you troll every day of the year."

She put the king's head on the table, put Branch in front of his face, and opened the king's mouth with his tongue sticking out. When Jamie tried to get to him, Chef grabbed her and held her up high.

"With me as queen, all of life will be a never-ending feast of happiness!" Chef yelled as Branch tried to escape.

She blocked his path with the butcher knife and he tripped and landed on Gristle's tongue.

"Come on, eat! Eat!" Chef commanded.

Gristle's tongue started to retract and Branch screamed.

"No!" Jamie yelled and bit Chef's finger.

Chef let her go and Jamie ran then got Branch off Gristle's tongue.

"Happiness isn't something you put inside. It's already there," Poppy stated.

"Sometimes you just need someone to help you find it," Jamie added as she helped Branch up.

Then all the Bergens started asking if they could be happy, making the Chef start to feel like she was out of a job.

"Do you really think I can be happy?" Bibbly asked.

"Of course! It's inside you! It's inside of all of us! And I don't think it. I feel it!" Jamie said.

[Jamie:]
"I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric wavy when I turn it on"
[Branch:]
"And if you want it
Inside your soul"
[Both:]
"Just open up your heart
Let music take control

We got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body
When it drops
Ooh
I can't take my eyes up off it
Moving so phenomenally
The room on lock
The way we rock it
So don't stop"

[Trolls:]
"Under the lights, when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close"
[Cooper:]
"Can't stop, won't stop"
[Trolls:]
"When we move
Well you already know"
[Cooper:]
"Let's go, let's work"
[Trolls:]
"So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine"

[Branch:]
"Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feel the good-good creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing

I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So keep dancing, come on"

Chef had just about enough of that and went to kill Branch and Jamie. They gasped, but Bridget threw a spoon at Chef's face. Then DJ and Guy Diamond squirted lemon juice in both of her eyes.

"Ow! My eyes!" Chef exclaimed.

"Let's do it!" Satin and Chenille shouted then tripped the Chef.

She fell in the pot and was sent toward the door. Cooper lit a match and threw it at the pot, making it catch flame. Then it went down the stairs outside. The others looked outside as the Chef screamed as Creek peeked out of the pouch and screamed as well, then they were out of Bergen Town for good.

As they all continued to sing and dance, more color appeared as they danced to the Troll Tree, which blossomed back into what it used to be.

[Branch:]
"I can't stop the
I can't stop the
I can't stop the feeling
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
Feel the good creeping up on you
So just dance, dance, dance
All this things I shouldn't do
So just dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon
So keep dancing

I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body
I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body
I can't stop the feeling
Wanna see you move your body
I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on"

When everyone was at the Troll Tree, King Peppy placed a crown on Poppy's head.

"Our new queen!" he announced, raising her hand up.

Everyone cheered for her and she smiled at the crowd.

"She's my friend! I know her!" Biggie exclaimed.

Poppy got Branch on the mushroom then brought out Jamie. She got them together then got off the mushroom. They held hands and smiled then they felt rumbling. Poppy got Smidge to lift the mushroom into the air.

"I know it's not officially hug time yet, but--" Branch said, holding his arms out.

"You want a hug when it's not hug time. I thought I'd never see the day," Jamie smirked.

He chuckled and remarked, "Well, I thought the day when you would love me back wouldn't come, but here we are now."

"I've always loved you, Branch. Then, now, and forever," she said.

"It's the same with you," Branch said.

"Aww. That's so sweet. Come here," Jamie said.

They hugged then kissed until they felt an extra set of arms hugging them. They stopped to see the cloud from outside the escape tunnels, smirking at them.

"Up high!" he suggested, holding up both of his hands.

Jamie and Branch smirked at each other and high-fived him to where he fell off the mushroom, but with a cheer. Both trolls laughed and danced as Branch finished singing.

[Branch:]
"I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body
I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on
Ooh"

When they stopped, they couldn't quit staring and smiling at each other.

"I love you, Jamie," he said.

"I love you too, Branch," she responded.
