Chapter 13
Everyone was gathered in the LED castle throne room.
King Trollex made his announcement.
"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the other leaders of Trollstopia and to Poppy's friends for helping us in our battle against King Lotan."
Poppy, Branch, the other leaders, and the Snack Pack smiled and waved to the Techno Trolls.
Everyone clapped and cheered.
Trollex continued, "I would especially like to thank two Trolls who was able to save our home and our people by returning the Heart of the Reef...Queen Poppy and Branch."
Branch was thrilled, but Poppy was a little confused.
She said to Trollex, "Actually, Trollex, Branch was the one who brought you the Heart of the Reef. It's really him who saved you."
Trollex replied, "No, Poppy. Branch told us what had happened in the tower. You both saved us."
But, Poppy said, "I don't understand."
Queen Essence said, "Poppy, as we understand it, Branch brought Trollex the Heart of the Reef because you weren't sure how quickly you could find a way to escape the tower."
King Quincy then said, "You weren't willing to risk the future of Techno Reef in an effort to guarantee your own."
Barb said, "Yeah, that was pretty cool of you, Popsqueak."
Delta then said, "Far better the Pop Trolls have a queen who understands the meaning of self-sacrifice than one who only looks out for her own best interests."
Trollex said, "So, in actuality, it was both of you who saved us all."
He then turned to his people and shouted, "Let's give it up for our heroes!"
Everone cheered as loud as they could while Poppy and Branch smiled with pride.
That same night, everyone got together for a party to celebrate their victory.
Trollex and DJ Suki got together again for another song.
Trollex announced, "This is dedicated to our heroes! Our heroes who did all of this 'In the Name of Love!'"
Suki and Trollex started playing, "In the Name of Love."
Everyone danced to the beat.
Everyone paid their attention to Guy Diamond and Tiny, who were showing off some moves.
Guy shouted, "Yeah, Tiny! Shake what your Papa gave you!"
Tiny said, "Yeah, I'm shaking it!"
Branch turned to Poppy, "Feel like a hero now?"
Poppy answered, "Yes. They were right. I'm still a hero even when I didn't give him the Heart."
Branch then said, "I hope you're willing to split the credit 50-50."
Poppy said, "Actually, Branch, the other leaders and our friends played a part in saving Techno Reef. Really, about at least 5% of the credit goes to you and me."
Branch grumbled, but then smiled at Poppy.
Both laughed and continued to party.
