~ Chapter 21 ~

The moon was still shining, the sky was filled with stars. In the throne room of PopPalace, Queen Poppy sat comfortably in her husband's royal seat, waiting for this last mentionned to return with the glass of water he had promised her. Branch was so on protector mode that he refused to let her walk on her own; her foot was curled with bandage and was placed on a cousin having the shape of a cute, comfy heart.

But guys... We are talking about Poppy, sitting, for hours. Those words doesn't belongs together at all and in fact, the Queen of Pop was already trying to get up, just before the door opened softly;

- Poppy? Branch's voice called out, but then noticed his love standing up, Poppy, what are you doing?!

She sighed. The blue male troll came to her and lifted her body in his arms to carry her safely back to her seat. He had already set down a glass of water for the pink troll there.

- Braaannnch! She whimpered, wrapping her arms around his neck while he carried her, frowning, its been years since I didn't walk!! I need to move!~

She flirtily pressed her face and chest against his, craving for a kiss which Branch gave her with a pure joy. She loved that blue boy so much she just couldn't help herself from loving him.

He eventually sat her down on his royal seat, gaving her that glass of water. Not knowing how to start his.. Plan, he just stayed there without moving.

But unfortunately for Branch, Poppy knew him too well, and seeing this nervous lip biting she hadn't saw in years, she leaned on her forearm;

- What's on your mind, honey ? She asked him with a smile, he blushed;

- I uhm... Uh...

He sighed.

On top of the roof, a certain troop of trolls was watching the scene. Tiny raised an eyebrow;

- I thought he was the most confident troll on earth-

Mixy chuckled lightly, then just turned some wires to change the plugs;

- Oh, he just need some help to see what a man gotta do !

... then all the lights went off.

- Uhm- Branch what is happeni- Poppy started

But a spotlight suddenly light up on the King of pop, this one looked at his wife with large, widen, nervous eyes, starting to sing ;

Cut my heart about one, two times
Don't need to question the reason, I'm yours
I'm yours
I'd move the Earth or lose a fight just to see you smile
'Cause you got no flaws, no flaws

Branch had started cute nervous dances moves, making Poppy's heart kind of melt;

- Aww, is that a song performance just for me? BRANCH YOU ARE SO SWEEETTT, She squealed, leaning in her seat to gave him all her attention.

Branch smiled, feeling himself get more comfortable as he sang more freely;

I'm not tryin' to be your part-time lover
Sign me up for that full-time, I'm yours
All yours! ~

- Okay! Barb whispered, this is your cue Mixy, go!

She pushed him on one of the stone colonnes so he could stand on it. The remix troll slowly started make his way to the harp where all the other 5 strings were...

So, what a man gotta do?
What a man gotta do?
To be totally locked up by you
What a man gotta say?
What a man gotta pray?
To be your last "Good night" and your first "Good day"

So, what a man gotta do?
What a man gotta do?
To be totally locked up by you
What a man gotta do?
What a man gotta prove?
To be totally locked up by you~

Mixy was close to a place where Poppy had clear view, he made a sign to Branch, the blue troll understood and lifted the laughing, adorable queen in his arms to dance around with her... Gosh he loved her so much he could have forget about her crazy plans ;

You ain't tryna be wasting time
On stupid people in cheap lines, I'm sure
I'm sure
So I'd give a million dollars just for you to grab me by the collar
And knock on these doors
These doors

I'm not tryin' to be your part-time lover
Sign me up for that full-time, I'm yours
I'm yours, woo! ~

Mixy had reached the strings, they were a few meters below him... Branch continued to dance with Poppy, keeping her full attention as Mixy clung with his hair and slowly descended to the harp.

So, what a man gotta do?
What a man gotta do?
To be totally locked up by you
What a man gotta say?
What a man gotta pray?
To be your last "Good night" and your first "Good day"

So, what a man gotta do?
What a man gotta do?
To be totally locked up by you
What a man gotta do?
What a man gotta prove?
To be totally locked up by you

- Mixy!! Tiny whispered suddenly.

The young troll jumped and hide behind a throne; Poppy had tried come back to the throne to get a lollipop. Branch akwardly smiled as she put it in his mouth with bedroom eyes, then gave it back to her so he could keep sing;

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Tell me what a man gotta do!

- Cmon!!!... Mixy was struggling to get the harp, but then just decided to detach the strings one by one without make any sounds.

So, what a man gotta do? (What a man gotta do?)
What a man gotta do? (What a man gotta do, yeah?)
To be totally locked up by you (Totally locked up by you)
What a man gotta say? (What a man gotta say?)

To be your last "Good night" and your first "Good day"

So, what a man gotta do? (What a man gotta do?)

- AWW!!! BRANCH I LOVED IT!! Poppy squealed, getting that lollipop away and kissing him.

Branch kissed her like it was the last time then looked at her with shame. Poppy frowned;

- Branch ?...

- I swear I love you so much Poppy... I'm doing this to free you and all the others trolls...

He then pointed behind her.

She frowned and turned around;

Mixy was holding the strings in his paw.
