With It Being Only On The Last Hour Of Valentine's Day

The Villager Had To Come Up With A Way To Reach The Queen Before Midnight

Or Else This Holiday Would Surely Be Ruined

Still In The Field Of Sorrow, Branch Paced Back n Forth, Panicking And Trying To Figure Out What To Do.

"NoNoNoNoNoNo!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!"
Branch Pulled His Ears.

"Branch Branch, Calm Down"
Cupid Tried To Calm Branch.

"I CAN'T CALM DOWN! I've Wasted The Entire Day Trying To Get This Stupid Stone For Poppy, And I Won't Even Make It On Time To Give It To Her!"
Branch Replied.

Cupid Patted On Branch's Shoulder.
"It's Going To Be Alright"

Branch Glanced Over At Cupid's Wings And Got An Idea.
"Wait- Cupid! You Got Wings! Maybe You Can Fly Me Over To Bergen Town!"

"Branch, I May Be Cupid And Can Fly, But I Can't Carry Someone Heavy As You That Far"
Cupid Raised His Eyebrow At Him.

"Heyyy, I'm Not That Heavy"
Branch Jiggled His Stomach.

"Still-"
Cupid Shrugged.

"UGGGGGHHHH!!!! THIS IS SO-"
Branch Got Frustrated, Kicking The Grass.

"Hhhh...I Give Up"
Branch Sat Down On A Nearby Rock And Covered His Face.

Cupid Watched Branch Get All Frustrated And Upset, Feeling Bad That He Knows That Branch Tried His Best To Do Something For The One He Loves.

Cupid Flew Over To Branch And Sat Next To Him On The Rock.
"Look Branch, I Know Things May Seem Frustration Right Now, But The Important Thing Is That Your Heart Was In The Right Place This Entire Time"

"Yeah, My Heart Might've Been...But Not Me Physically"
Branch Sighed Into His Hands.

"Well, Like They Always Say, There's Always A Bright Silver Lining!"
Cupid Insured As He Nodded.

Suddenly, A Bunch Of Bright Lights Shined Down On The Two, Up Above In The Sky, Hovering Over The Field Of Sorrow.

"And I Didn't Mean Aliens 0__0"
Cupid Looked Up.

Branch Stood Up, Trying To See What It Was But The Light Was Too Bright, And The Wind Blew Amongst Him And The Grass.

It Was The Vibe City Spaceship, Opening Up From Above, And Sending Down Numerous Bubbles To The Field.

The Leaders And Every Troll In The Kingdom Came Down From Their Bubble And Landed Around Branch In A Circle.

"Guys???"
Branch Looked Around At All The Trolls Surrounding Him.

"BRANCH!"
The Leaders Shout Out.

"I Knew That Was Him!"
Prince D Said.

"What Are You Guys Doing Here??"
Branch Questioned.

"We Could Be Asking You The Same Thing Sugar"
Delta Said.

"Like Perhaps, Why Are You In This...Empty Yet Sorrowful Field?"
Trollzart Asked.

"Oh, Cause It's The Field Of Sorrow"
Branch Answered.

"Why Are You Wearing That Fancy Getup?"
Barb Gestured At Branch's Royal Consort Outfit.

"I Found It In The Cave Of Desire With Other Weird Items"
Branch Answered.

"And Who's That?"
Trollex Pointed At Cupid.

"It's Cupid, The Valentine's Day Mascot Who I Thought Wasn't Real But Turned Out To Be Helping Me On My Quest The Whole Time"
Branch Answered.

"😁👋"
Cupid Waved From Behind Branch.

"......"
The Trolls All Stared At Branch, Heavily Confused.

"Long Story. Literally"
Branch Said.

"OOO! GRAIN!"
Cooper Picked Up A Piece Of Grain.

"WAIT WAIT COOPER DON'T-"
Branch Tried To Shout.

Cooper Started To See Sorrow Hallucinations From His Past.
"Whoaaa I'm In My Egg! AAAAH! AAAH! A HAWK SNATCHED ME FROM THE NESSST!!!"

"🤦‍♂️"
Branch Facepalmed, With A Sigh.

"Branch, Where Have You Been All Day? You Know Poppy's Been Waiting For You All Day"
Guy Diamond Said.

"I Know I Know I-"
Branch Said.

"She's Been Worried Sick! And Asked About You!"
Legsly Added.

"Listen Guys I Know But-"
Branch Said.

"I Guess We Made It Worse But Trying To 1-Up Each Other In Planning Festivals"
Trollex Rubbed His Arm.

"When What She Really Wanted Is For All Of Us To Be Together"
Prince D Added.

The Trolls All Murmured And Spoke At Once, Knowing That Was True As They All Felt Bad.

"But Hey Bro! You Can Still Make Up For That! Pop-Squeak Left Somewhere And She Could Really Use You Right Now. Eh? Eh? Little Cheesy Romance Will Do Her Some Good?"
Barb Nudged Branch's Arm.

Branch Sighed Deeply, Sitting Back On The Rock.
"Guys, There's Something I Have To Confess About Today.."

The Trolls All Listened Close To What Branch Was About To Tell Them, Wondering Why He Was Gone All Day.

"The Whole Day, I've Been Trying To Find The Wonderous Wishstone"
Branch Told Them.

The Trolls All Gasp And Start Murmuring Again, Shocked That Anyone Would Try To Find The Wishstone Again.

"The Wonderous Wishstone?? I Thought That Was Just A Fiddle-Stick Of A Myth"
Delta Said.

"I Did Too But, Turns Out It's Real. I Was Looking For It So That I Could Give It To Poppy And She Could Wish For A Perfect Valentine's Day"
Branch Said.

"Well Why The Heck Would You Go Out And Do That Dude?"
Barb Questioned.

Branch Sighed, And Started To Explain.
"Well...You See...Back Then, In My Bunker Days, Poppy Would Always Ditch Her Plans For Valentine's Day, Just To Come And Make Me Happy. It Wasted Her Whole Day Of Fun Just For Me! And I-....Just Couldn't Bare The Guilt, And Wanted To Make Up For It. So That She Can Wish For The Valentine's Day She's Always Wanted! A Valentine's Day She Deserved. But Now It's Too Late.."

The Leaders And The Trolls Looked At One Another, Feeling Bad For Branch And What He's Been Through Today.

"But Branch. It's Never Too Late For Love"
Cupid Said.

"It Seems Like It Though"
Branch Hugged His Knees On The Rock.

King Peppy Came Through The Crowd And Stepped Up To Branch.
"But Branch My Boy. I Don't Think You Realize."

"Huh?"
Branch Looked Up.

"Poppy Only Wanted One Thing For Today, And That's Togetherness"
King Peppy Told Branch, Patting His Shoulder.

"I Wish We Realized That Sooner.."
Legsly Said, Rubbing Her Hands Sadly.

"But I Think What Poppy Really Wants Now-"
Trollex Said.

"What Poppy Really Needs Now-"
Delta Said.

"-Is You Branch"
Cupid Finished Off.

"All Of You Dude"
Barb Ruffled Branch's Hair.

Branch Smiled For A Second At Everyone, Then Frowned Again.
"Thanks Everyone But...Poppy Left For Bergen Town. She's Going To Spend The Rest Of Valentine's Day There"

"Why, There's Still Time!"
Trollzart Said.

"You Can Make It B! You Can Get To Her Before The Day Ends!"
Prince D Insured.

"But I Can't Run That Fast"
Branch Said.

"You Can't. But Doppler Here Could!"
Holly Darlin' Came Through The Crowd, Bringing Over A Striped Doppling For Branch To Ride On.

Branch Went Over To The Striped Doppling.
"Whoa, This Can Work! But It's Too Dark To See In The Forest"

"I'll Light Your Way Branch! After All, I Am Still A Glow Bug"
Cupid Smirked, Glowing Bright Pink.

"Really?"
Branch Grinned Up At Cupid.

"Let's Go Get Your Valentine"
Cupid Winked.

"Mmh!"
Doppler Nodded, Making It's Animal Noise.

Branch Was On Board With This Plan To Get To Poppy On Time, And Hopped On The Back Of Doppler.

"You Really Look Like A King, Wearing That Dorky Outfit"
Barb Snickered.

"Thank You Barb?"
Branch Rolled His Eyes Playfully.

"And A King, Always Needs His Satchel! Put Your Stone In There So It Won't Break"
Delta Handed Up Branch A Satchel.

Branch Grabbed The Brown Stachel, Put The Wishstone Inside, And Wrapped It Across His Shoulder.

"I Won't Go Breaking Your Heart Poppy"
Branch Told Himself.

"FOR LOVEEEEE!!!"
Cupid Flew Out Into The Dark Forest.

"YAH!"
Branch Yanked On Doppler's Ears, As Doppler Began To Ride Off.

"BRANCH! BRANCH! BRANCH! BRANCH! BRANCH! BRANCH!"
All Of The Trolls Cheered On For Branch On His Quest.

"That's My Boy"
King Peppy Nodded, Feeling Proud Of Branch.

~~~

~Through The Forest~

Thanks To The Help From His Kingdom, The Villager Set Off On His Noble Steed And Rode Into The Deep Forest

In Hopes To Reach The Queen Before The Clock Strikes Midnight

Riding On The Back Of Doppler, Branch Made His Way Through The Forest With Light To Guide His Way From Cupid.

"ALMOST THERE!"
Cupid Told Branch.

"GO DOPPLER! GO!"
Branch Shouted Out Loud, With The Most Determination.

He Was Brave!

He Was Dashing!

He Was Determined!

The Villager Scorched Through Trees, Over Streams, And Under Bridges, To Find His Way To The Queen, Who Awaited His Presence

~~~

~Over In Bergen Town~

Inside The Castle Of Bergen Town, King Gristle And Bridget Accompanied Poppy, As She Was Staying There For The Rest Of Valentine's Day.

"Hhhh.."
Poppy Sighed Disappointingly, Gazing At Her Mitten-Settia Flower.

"Aweee Poppy, I'm Sorry Your Holiday Didn't Go Exactly As Planned"
Bridget Frowned, Feeling Bad.

"Yeahhh.."
Poppy's Ears Droop Down, As She Was Sitting On Bridget's Shoulder.

"But Hey Girlfriend! You Can Enjoy Some BFF And Third Wheel Time With Me And Grissy!"
Bridget Gestured.

"Sure Can! You Could Watch Babe And Me Cuddle Romantically. It'll Get Your Mind Off Of Branch, And The Things You Could Have Been Doing With Him! 😁"
King Gristle Grinned.

"Ugh.."
Poppy Put Her Head Down In Her Knees.

"Grissy!"
Bridget Hit King Gristle's Arm.

"Whaaat? I'm Working On Being Honest"
King Gristle Shrugged.

"I'm Sure Wherever Branch Is Now, He Has His Mind On You!"
Bridget Insured To Poppy.

~~~

Entering Bergen Town, Branch And Cupid Made Their Way Through The Town And Sighed The Castle From Afar.

"THERE IT IS!"
Cupid Gestured Up Ahead.

"POPPPPY!"
Branch Called Out Loud.

~~~

Poppy Twirled Her Finger On Her Mitten-Settia.
"Look Guys, I Appreciate You Trying To Cheer Me Up But...All I Can Think Of Is-"

"POPPPPYYY!"
The Sound Of Branch Screaming For Poppy Could Be Heard Slightly Through The Castle.

Poppy's Ears Perked Up, Knowing That Voice.
"Branch??"

Poppy Started To Get Excited, And Slid Off Of Bridget's Arm To Run Towards The Castle's Doors.

~~~

~Outside~

The Villager Reached The Castle The Queen Waited In And Raced Up The Stairs To Reach Her

Down Below The Stairs Of The Castle, Doppler Made It's Way To Their Destination As Branch Quickly Got Off To Run Up The Stairs.

"POPPPPPYYY!!!"
Branch Kept Calling Out, As He Went Up The Stairs.

"BRANCH??"
Poppy Peaked Outside One Of The Castle's Doors.

Poppy Looked Around On The Front Of The Castle Doors, And Didn't See Branch Anywhere.

"POPPPPPPY!!!"
Branch Finally Made It Up The Last Step.

"BRANCH!"
Poppy Ran Over To Branch.

"POPPY!"
Branch Saw Poppy By The Doors And Ran Even Faster To Her.

"OH BRANCH!"
Poppy Ran Closer To Him.

Branch Ran Closer To Her.
"OH POPPY, I'M SO GLAD TO SEE-"

"BRANCH!!!"
Bridget And King Gristle Stomped Hardly And Loudly Opening The Doors.

"AH!"
Branch Stumbled From The Hard And Loud Stomp.

Suddenly, Branch's Stachel Flung Off Of His Shoulder And As Well As The Wonderous Wishstone Flying Out The Bag.

Branch Saw This Happen In Slow Motion And Screamed.
"N-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-!-!-!"

The Wonderous Wishstone Hit The Ground, Crushed Into Pieces, Making The Magic Of The Stone Lose It's Power.

Hearing Branch's Scream, Poppy Immediately Stopped And Looked Down At The Broken Wishstone In Between Them.

Coming Up The Stairs, The Leaders And All Of Troll Kingdom Made Their Way To Bergen Town And Saw What Was Happening, Leading Them All To Gasp.

Branch Kneeled Down, Gathering The Pieces, Hoping They'd Fix.
"No...No No No No No! C'mon Please No! No.."

Branch Knew There Was No Way To Fix The Wishstone And Gave Up.
"No...Ughh.."

The Trolls All Looked At One Another, In Shock Of Seeing The Wishstone Being Broken Apart, As Well As Bridget And King Gristle.

Poppy Was Confused Of Why Branch's Was Upset At What Was Broken In Between Them, And Got Curious.

"Branch?...What Is All Of This?"
Poppy Gestured At The Broken Apart Wishstone.

Branch Sighed Deeply, With His Ears Down, Knowing It Was Time To Confess The Truth Of What Happened Today.

"Poppy I-....I'm So Sorry...For Everything Today...
Branch Said.

Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow, Heavily Confused Of What Branch Was Sorry About.

"I Didnt Really Have To Run An Errand. Cause All Day...I Was Out Trying To Get That...The Wonderous Wishstone.."
Branch Sadly Pointed At The Crushed Wishstone.

Poppy's Eyes Widen Hearing That Of What Branch Went To Go Get.
"The Wonderous Wishstone...?"

"I Was Going To Get It So That You Can Make A Wish To Have The Most Special Valentine's Day Ever...Cause You Really Deserve It.."
Branch Explained.

Poppy Glanced At Branch Then Back Down At The Wishstone, Shocked Of What Branch Went Out To Do For Her To Be Happy On This Holiday.

"But Now You Won't Get Your Wish Cause I Ruined Valentine's Day For You...Just Like All The Other Valentine's Days Before Then...I'm Sorry.."
Branch Got Teary Eyed, Staring At The Broken Wishstone, Feeling More Guilty Than Ever Before.

After Listening To Branch's Confession, Poppy Processed All Of What Branch's Intentions Were For Her And Started To Smile, As She Held Her Mitten-Settia Flower.

Poppy Leaned Down, Lifted Up Branch's Chin And Grabbed His Hands To Help Him Up, Smiling At Him.

Branch Was Confused Of Why Poppy Was Smiling So Much, And Wondering Why She Wasn't Disappointed.

"Nah. I Don't Need It. I Got What I Always Wished For....No Magical Stone Required"
Poppy Told Him, Holding Branch's Hands Lovingly.

Branch's Ears Started To Perk Up.
"W-Wait What? You Don't Need A Wish?"

"Mhm!"
Poppy Nodded, Happily.

Branch Started Studdering.
"B-B-But Today Is Ruined! I Wasn't There For You, The Whole Festival Thing Was A Bust! Valentine's Day Is Almost Over!"

"But What Does Matter Now Is That You're Here With Me. Together. What Else More Could I Wish For?"
Poppy Replied.

"But...Those Other Valentine's Before! I Mean...You Couldn't Enjoy Any Of Those Valentine's Cause You Were Busy Trying To Make Me Happy...I Couldn't Bare The Guilt I Had For Ruining Your Happiness"
Branch Said, Looking Down.

"I Know It May Seem That I Didn't Enjoy Those Other Valentine's But The Truth Is...I Did! You Know Why? Cause I Got To Spend Time With You. Especially After All We Been Through, I Can't Ever Stay Away From You!"
Poppy Explained To Him.

"Really?"
Branch Said.

"Branch, Spending Valentine's Day With You Together Is All I Could Ever Wish For"
Poppy Held Up Branch's Cheek.

"It's All I Could Ever Wish For Too"
Branch Held His Hand On Poppy's Hand That Was On His Cheek.

Poppy And Branch Gazed Into Each Other's Eyes, As They Both Came In Close For A Hug. 🩷 🩵

"Awwwwwwww"
The Trolls Of Troll Kingdom All Awed At The Broppy Pureness.

"Awww"
Bridget And King Gristle Also Admired The Broppy Pureness.

As The Queen Reminded The Villager That All She Wanted For Valentine's Day Is To Be With Him

They Both Knew That No Magical Wish Or Stone, Could Ever Create The Love They Already Share Together

But There Was Still One Problem For Everyone

As Branch And Poppy Finished Their Hug, All Of The Trolls's Hugtime Watch Chime Rang, Meaning It Was Midnight.

Branch Looked At His Hugtime Watch.
"Well As Happy As I Am Right Now, Valentine's Day Is Over...And We Missed Our Chance.."

Cupid Peeked Over With A Smirk.
"And That's Why Second Chances Exist!"

Poppy Glanced At Cupid.
"Uhhh Who's-"

"This Is-"
Branch Gestured.

"Cupid! At Your Service Your Majesty"
Cupid Bowed Down.

"OMG CUPID IS REAL!?!"
Poppy Gasped With Excitement.

"Yep! And So Is The Magic I Have Of My Very Own. I Can Grant You All One Extra Hour Of Valentine's Day! After All, It Is My Holiday"
Cupid Told Them.

"OOOOOO!"
The Trolls All Got Excitedly Intrigued.

"Wait You'd Do That?"
Branch Asked.

"Branch My Friend, Today You've Shown To Understand To The True Meaning Of Valentine's Day. Being There Together With The Ones You Love. And That's More Of A True Valentine I've Ever Witnessed"
Cupid Grinned At Branch, Proudly.

"Thanks"
Branch Grinned Back.

"With That Said- LET'S GET THIS VALENTINE'S DAY FESTIVAL STARTEDDDD!"
Cupid Swarmed His Arms Around And Clapped His Hands Loudly To Set Off His Magic. ✨️

~~~

"So Branch? Nothing Else Exciting Happend On Your Little Adventure Besides Getting That Dashing Outfit?"
Poppy Giggled, Stroking The Gold On Branch's Outfit.

Branch Scoffed.
"Pfft Of Course Not! Just A Simple Quest. No Unexpected Things 😌"

Suddenly, Hart & Sole Flew Through The Window Of The Castle To Join The Festival.

"AYYYY WASSUP TROLLS!"

"It Would Seem That Way .___."
Branch Said.

"Awww, You Really Did Go All Out For Me"
Poppy Blushed Darkly.

"I Guess I Did. And I Guess This Is A Good Time To Also Confess This One Time During My Bunker Days When I Tried To Asked You To Be My Valentine...Buttttt It Went South"
Branch Confessed, Squinting His Eyes In Embarrassment.

"Really?"
Poppy Asked.

"Yeahhh, But You Were Having Fun That Day And Didn't Wanna Ruin It With My Bad Energy"
Branch Added.

"Hm...Yeah I Know"
Poppy Blurted.

"Wait- WHAT?!?!"
Branch's Eyes Pupils Shrunk.

"Fuzzbert Saw You About To Ask And Told Me Afterwards"
Poppy Explained.

"Shaving That One Handed Hairy Green Little -.-"
Branch Groaned.

"But, Just Shows How You Really Wanted To Be Together With Me On Valentine's Day"
Poppy Grinned.

Branch Grinned Back.
"Of Course! You're The Only One For Me"

"Happy Valentine's Day Branch"
Poppy Held Branch's Hands.

"Happy Valentine's Day To You Too Queen Poppy"
Branch Bowed Like A Royal Consort.

Poppy Swept Branch Off His Feet At Sudden, And Placed A Sweet Kiss Amongst Branch As They Shared It Until The Festival's Lights. 💝
