Rock Brozone AU

AN: Poppy is the only one not Genderbent.

An cowbell went flying into the forest as infamous Queen of Pop, Queen Poppy, syriked a pose landing her one of her taller friend's head. Coop stood on only two of her legs as the Queen's feet landed on her hat. The trolls behind them level by level built a troll prymid. The critters of the village around them and even a couple living mushroom like creatures sang final melody of the Pop trolls lastest musical number. Smidge jumped off the top of the pyramid only be caught by his best friend mid doing an handstand. Poppy's arms didn't buckle just like Coop's legs didn't and the trolls behind them.

" Yeah!" They all cheered ending the song.

Silence filled the area. It wasn't concerning silence. It was simply calm and peaceful while the trolls breathed in and out trying to catch their breath. Coop slowly got back on all fours while Poppy lowered Smidge onto her back. Smidge grabbed her shoulders securing himself on his best friend's back.

A familiar flying pet belonging to none other than Queen Barb of Rock flapped her tiny bat wings zooming towards them. In her mouth a letter that seemed ordinary but, contained great importantance and the arrival date of very important guests. Leaves fell off Debbie while random Pop trolls moved out of the delivering critter's way allowing her to reach their Queen.

Meanwhile a few miles away a Rock transformed Amarillobus stopped in the middle forest in the shade of a oak tree. Inside were five female Rock trolls. Each one seemed to be minding their own business. The eldest,Johanna, was napping on the couch of their World Tour bus in ripped black jean dress with a pair of red goggles,black fingerless gloves and a belt that blended into the dress with tiny numb spikes. A magazine covered her face with a picture of her and band mates on the cover. Her soring would occasionally get louder then soften fading away. Her wild green hair hung off the couch almost touching the floor.

The second eldest,Spruce who recently changed her name to Brucie, was in the kitchen making herself and her sisters a snack. Brucie wore a black and white crop top, dark blue jeanshorts and the classic leather stud decorated Rock bracelets matching her tight necklace in terms of style. She hummed a Rock song called "Crazy train" grabbing a can of spray cheese. Her purple hair was the biggiest and most well kept out of everyone on the tour bus.

The third sister,Clara, was in the back of the bus reading with her legs crossed and her back against the wall. She was the tallest sister. Her outfit was a black leather jumpsuit that was sleevless and shouderless but,had an sweetheart neckline. Over the top of it she wore a comfortable green sweater. Her dyed light green hair was curly standing tall. Clara glanced over to her sister,Flora, who was sitting on the same bench next to her.

Flora was fixing her eyeliner looking directly at her compound hand mirror. Flora unlike all of her siblings had pink eyes instead of blue which matched her bright hot pinm hair which she had dyed a darker shade recently. She wore a grey jean skirt with a black boobtube and single silver ball shaped earing in her right ear. The younger woman was too busy trying to increase the boldness of her makeup to notice Clara's adoring smile. Clara's eyes moved back to her book as she turned to the next page.

Then there was the youngest one of all,Branch. She paused her headphones and began writing down some potential lyrics in the song book on her lap. Branch sat on the floor next to the couch Johanna was still sleeping on. Her outfit consisted of long leather pants,skull shaped earrings,leather spike decorated bracelets and a white tank. Her dark blue had black streek and was tied into a ponytail that ran down her back. She hummed the tune she came up with while her pencil lightly hit the page like a drum.

Their Rock band's driver looked down at the map on the dashboard. It was of all of the main troll kingdoms with circled destinations. His eyes scanned the map trying to find the nearest rest stop or troll settlement at least. According to the map the touring group was currently in Pop territory which meant Pop Village wasn't far away.

" Brace yourselves! We are heading for Pop Village. " He warned preparing their bus to run again.

" Hmm? Where?" Johanna sat up confused just waking up.

The magazine fell landing into of Branch's wild ponytail getting lost in there. The song writer didn't even noticed. Her blue eyes were still fixed on her note book pages crossing a couple lyrics she found too cheesy to remain included in her song. Flora walked over to her little sister and sat right next to her taking a peek at the song book. Her compound mirror made a loud clipping noise as she closed. A smile graced the pink haired one's face.

" Pop Village, JD. " Branch stated causally.

" Trying something new?" Flora spoke curiously.

" Yeah. Kinda stuck on it. Something about the lyrics are just lacking. " Branch commented.

" Who's this special girl? Do I know her?" Flora teased.

Branch turned her head towards Flora. " Nobody. It's just a placeholder."

"Aw Boo. " Flora joked.

" Shut up." Branch lightly pushed her away laughing.

Later that day back in Pop Village, the Pop trolls were buzzing throwing last mintute Welcome party decore up. A late letter from Queen Barb was in the Pop Queen's hands. A big smile formed from her lips showing off her teeth. Beaming with excitement she whistled for two glowbugs to come down to her level. Happily the little cuties flew down carrying one single basket together. It contained confetti which needed to be loaded into the canons.

" C'mon. We got no time to waste. Barb sent us some new friends to meet! " Poppy took the basket tossing it to another troll to catch.

" Hmm... Queen Poppy, not trying to be a Debbie Downer but..." A random troll spoke up.

Poppy turned around confused. " But what?"

" What if we are a little over our heads with the whole being Rock's tour pit stop station? Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just you know. We are kinda oppsites. "

" Their gonna love us. Queen Barb likes us enough to trust us with her Rockers so why worry? Plus it's not gonna be a all the time thing. Just occasional visitors. Who knows? Maybe some will like us enough to want to stay? The more the merrier. " Poppy reassured.

The other troll nodded their head agreeing with the sentiment. The six tribes had only fully and truly opened their boarders to each other recently that year after reuniting. This was the second baby step to achieving the set goals of becoming one nation again without merging or at least for now. Maybe one day they could become Trollstopia again but, for now they were separate.

" We got this." Poppy contuined handing the troll some decorations.

Suddenly a horn was blown alerting them of their guests arrival. Everyone stopped looking at the direction it came from then rushed to complete their setup. They didn't want to give a bad pr lazy first impression. Sure the letter did come in later than it should had but, that didn't mean they couldn't pull through. In fact all they needed was half hour which was just about to end.

The tour bus ran into the village with her tongue sticking out panting like happy puppy. Rhonda stopped right before the welcome party and Pop trolls creating a dust cloud. She looked around at the different trolls curiously while the door was kicked open dramatically by tanned blue foot. Stairs folded out on their own. Johanna flashed her signature smirk stepping out like she was on the red carpet. Brucie got tackled out by Clara who seemed pretty steamed as neither of them refused to let go of the sealed shut box.

" Give it Back! It's Mine!" Clara declared.

" Not Until I Get My Fucking-"

Johanna cleared her throat glaring at her sisters. Brucie and Clara froze slowly turning their heads to notice where they were and that they were in public but, they went back to fighting anyway like they were still petty teenagers. Johanna faced palmed as they rolled still arguing. Branch rolled her eyes crossing her arms stepping out. Flora smiled sweetly following her younger sister but, stopped to pull out the magazine hanging out in Branch's hair. Branch raised an eyebrow at the magazine.

Poppy's jaw dropped when she caught sight of Branch. The way her ponytail stood,her confident demeanor, her eyes seemed to shine and her overall style was quite alluring. Branch slightly glanced at her direction unintentionally causing Poppy to quickly look away blushing. Her cheeks were a darker shade of pink. DJ tapped her shoulder reminding his friend that she was suppose to do something. Poppy tucked away a strand of her bangs behind her ear doing her best to regain her composure.

Clearing her throat she stepped forward. " Hi. I'm Queen Poppy and welcome to Pop Village. We have cupcakes."

Johanna and Flora looked behind the Queen to see Biggie holding an tray of Red Velvet cupcakes. Branch unfolded her arms watching Clara and Brucie wrestle until one of them eventually gives in. Brucie caved tossing the box which Clara ran after instantly. Johanna readjusted her goggles making sure it was prefect in place.

" Sweet!" Johanna picked one from the tray and took a bite. " Really sweet..."

The amount of sugar in the cupcake was more than the band leather was used to but, the treat was still good in general. Flora looked around more closely at the decore. It was clear to see that they were expecting visitors while for the Rock Band they weren't expecting to visit. Branch offered Brucie her hand bending over. Poppy bite her lip forcing her eyes to remain on Flora and Johanna.

' Everything is fine. Don't look. Don't be creepy. ' Poppy thought.

" I'm Johanna and these are my sisters. Flora. Spru- I mean Brucie. Clara and that's Branch. " Johanna gestured to each individual sibling.

Flora offered a fist bump which Poppy happily accepted. Brucie waved as Branch pulled her back onto her feet. Clara turned around simply nodding her head before going back into Rhonda to hide her mystery box. Branch brought her hands to hips looking up at Poppy for the first time.

Branch's eyes wondered taking mental notes from Poppy's teal dress to her foral crown. She couldn't stop noticing how cute the Pop Queen appeared with sparkling freckles and smooth soft seeming skin. Her shades of pink were complimented by the gentle rays of sunlight shining on her. Her eyes despite being pink,reminded her of pools of water oddly. Branch wasn't sure but,something about Poppy intrigued her. Maybe it was just her friendly nature.

" Sup. " Branch eventually greeted causally.

" You probably recongized us by now. " Johanna said looking down at her non-existent nails.

Assuming Pop Village heard of her family Rock Band was not a smart no matter how famous they were. Everyone just remained silent either nodding their heads falsely or pretending like the situation wasn't awkward. Poppy was the only one who knew due to Barb mentioning Siszone,along with other bands, as already on tour. Siszone was one of the bigger hits in Volcano City and were around for many years. These women grew up born rockstars. Or at least that's what Barb claimed.

" Yeah. Your Siszone, right?" Poppy asked checking.

" See! Told ya we would get recongized everywhere!" Johanna exclaimed towards Clara.

Clara rolled her eyes stepping out of Rhonda. She cruised over to Branch placing her elbow on her shoulder like arm rest. Branch glared at the action annoyed but, let it happen anyway not even trying to remove it. Poppy mentally noted that reaction as something she shouldn't do in hopes of making Branch like her. She didn't want to get on her bad side or be hated by the beautiful Rocker.

" Welcome to Pop Village." Poppy repeated with extra warmness added to her smile that followed.

Soon the sun set shifting the day into night. Stars twinkled up above the village but, the real highlight of a night in Pop Village wasn't them. Branch leaned her back against a tall mushroom arms crossed. Her sight fixed on the latest Pop musical number while the party contuined in the background. Flora playfully nudged her sister's shoulder.

" Your staring." Flora teased.

" Watching a free show. Big difference. " Branch corrected.

" Then what's with the smile and that sparkle in your eyes?" Flora sipped her drink.

" My eyes don't sparkle." Branch turned her head raised an eyebrow.

" Sure... Who are you watching anyway? Finding inspiration for that placeholder?"

The older sister sat down on mushroom beside Branch. Coop swung from the disco ball jumping off sticking the landing right next to Poppy. The Queen spun around her still lost in the song she naturally led to an end. Striking a pose she put her hands her hips panting trying to catch her breath. The other Pop trolls involved did the same but, the second DJ Suki dropped the beat they launched themselves up into the air and contuined to jump to the music cheering. Poppy was the only one still catching her breath standing still in the crowd smiling.

" The cutie with the crown." Branch admitted with no issue.

" Yup. You got a type. " Flora commented.

Branch looked at her sister. " I have a type?"

" Yeah. Cute,pink,extrovert,so sweet that they rot your teeth and hyper. " Flora finished her drink.

" Now your just describing Queen Poppy. " Branch unfolded her arms.

" Am I wrong though?" Flora chimed.

" No but, that doesn't matter. Why are you so invest in this? Can't you riff someone else's guitar?"

Branch sat down next to Flora with her hands taking rest on her lap. Flora pulled her empty red cup from her lips lowering it towards the grass. She simply hummed still maintaining her meddling but, caring smile as she placed the plastic solo cup down. The wind blew Branch's dark bangs over her right eye but, Flora swiftly moved them back into place tucking a single strand behind her ear motherly.

" I just like seeing my baby sister smile. It's been a while. " Flora stated.

" We only just met Poppy today,Flora. " Branch pointed out.

" So? Since when has that ever stopped your ass from taking a shot? My two cents are just talk to her and get to know her. Get her address. No bang secession this time."

Branch rolled her eyes. " That only happened a couple times. I was drunk."

" And your sober right now. "

Branch paused thinking about the advise she didn't ask for but, wasn't against it either. Thie was Flora she was talking to. She never set Branch up for fail. Even for just for laughs Flora refused. Plus in the past her favourite sister always had a good gut feeling. However Branch wasn't too sure about making a move just yet. Returning her gaze back to the Pop Queen's direction Poppy smiled at her waving. Playing it safe Branch waved back with a half smile.

After the party ended Poppy stayed behind to help clean but, she wasn't the only one to not leave. However there was a difference in reasoning. Branch searched high and low for her song book. It must had fallen there somewhere. Lifting up the cloth of a table the Rocker peeked underneath but, no song book. Growling frustrated she dropped the table cloth turning around to kick a random balloon.

" Aw Fuck! This sucks..." Branch groaned running her hands through her hair.

Poppy's ears perked at her dismay causing her to turn around wide eyed but, once sighting Branch they soften. The clean up crew minded their own business while Poppy watched Branch popped the air out of the balloon by accident. The Rocker was too focused on her situation however to notice the pink pair of eyes on her. Curious but, also feeling bad for her village's guest, Poppy approached wanting to help. Not as a Queen or a host but, as a person in general with nothing to gain. Branch felt three fingers tap on her tank top strap snapping her out of her thoughts. Turning around raising an eyebrow and patting the pockets she wished her pants had.

" What? Need help with something?"

" Actually the reverse. I wanna help you. " Poppy admitted bringing her hands together.

Branch paused. " And why would you do that?"

" Cause you need it and I want to... That's all. " Poppy stated softly.

" That's all?" Branch repeated crossing her arms.

Poppy nodded her head. " But, I could leave if that's what you want?"

Branch held back her tongue from saying an remark that would make Poppy leave. Did she want her to leave? No but, did she want to involve others in a problem she created? No. However the more the blue Rocker thought about it the more tied her hands became. If she never found her song book all her work would be lost. Sighing defeated Branch unfolded her arms.

" I lost my song book... " Branch admitted sourly.

" Oh... I'm sorry. What did it look like?" Poppy asked emphatic.

" Black leather cover. Has a lock on it and pen holder with a pencil in it. Has written warning on the back directed at my sisters to not be nosy or else. White ink. It has some wear and tear at the corners. " Branch explained.

Poppy thought about the description trying her best to remember if she had seen the song book at some point. As far as she knew nobody had found such book laying around. Or at least not brought to her attention. Then a light blub lit up in the Queen's head. There was a Lost and Found box here at the party! Maybe someone took it and brought it there.

Poppy's smile returned. " I think I might know where it is. "

Grabbing hold of Branch's hand she dragged her to the Lost and Found box. Branch didn't even have time to register the whole ordeal. All she knew was one moment she admitted she lost her very important song book then next thing she knew she was at the Lost and Found with Poppy still holding her hand. Not that she minded the hand holding but, the speed was unpredictable.

The box didn't have much in it. Just sunglasses, hats,a jacket and a couple more items underneath but, it was a shot. Better than losing all of her progress forever or having someone steal her songs. Reaching in with her free hand it dove passed the hats and jacket until her finger tips felt a familar leather cover. Instantly snatching it Branch pulled it out letting go of Poppy's hand. The warning on the back was so boldly written she could still see it easily in the dark. Losing Branch's hand was made hers feel suddenly lonely but, Poppy wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. Instead she continued to smile cause Branch's smile doubled in size.

" Oh Thank God!" Branch hugged her song book then looked at Poppy. " Thanks..."

" Your welcome. I guess I'll just go now... Unless you need help with something else?" Poppy said hopeful.

Branch paused. " Well actually..."

" You wrote this?" Poppy gasped now sitting in Siszone's tour bus.

Both women were sitting across from each other on the couch. Most of the lights were off. However nobody was sleeping yet. Branch's sisters were simply letting Branch be alone with her new special "friend". Poppy pulled off Branch's headphones carefully in awe by what she heard so far. Passing the headphones back Branch placed them around her neck. The once lost song book sat on it's owner's lap wide open on the current work in progress song Branch was stuck on earlier.

" Yeah but, it's meh. It's missing something. I figured that since your basically this village's Popstar maybe you could throw some lyrics in. " Branch smiled.

Poppy blushed. " Oh I'm not a Popstar. Just a Queen. "

" Not according to what I seen. Everyone loves you, you got the pipes, you perform a out of nowhere song like I do on stage killing it and..." Branch's causal talking turned into a whisper. " And your kinda entertaining. "

Poppy blushed even harder. " You think so?"

" Yeah. Stop being so humble or we are going to be here all night. " Branch playfully threatened.

Poppy laughed. " Your fun to talk to. "

" You too,Popstar. Now this song isn't gonna write itself so are ready to Rock or what? " Branch smirked playing with Poppy's hair.

The growing more bold Rocker twirled a strand of Poppy's right bang around her finger then pulled it out. Having her finger so close to her face woken butterflies in Poppy's tummy. Her and Branch were so close. If they moved any closer their knees would bump. Branch's glossed lips looked so kissable but, Poppy refrained not wanting to potentially push the Rockstar's boundaries. Instead she slipped her fingers between Branch's fingers. Deciding to take it one step further for the Popstar Queen, Branch wrapped her hand around Poppy's hand completely holding it gently. Her palm was as soft as a freshly made plushie against the Rockstar's rougher skin.

" How does this sound?" Branch showed her latest lyric addition.

Poppy giggled. " Be my Queen and I'll burn the world for you?" Poppy repeated raising an eyebrow.

" It's for a movie. Okay? Their paying me for that jazz. " Branch defended herself.

Poppy chuckled louder. " What movie? Now I gotta see it when it comes out."

" Some Villain Orgin story called "Burnt Pages". You gotta pay Valcano City a visit if ya wanna watch that flick that bad. "

Branch put down her song book humming her main chorus melody. Pink eyes remained fixed on her and the blue eyed gal was fully aware. In fact she enjoyed it a bit. The longer the Pop troll stayed the more bold Branch's thoughts became. Flora's advice echoed in her mind. That's it. Screw playing it safe and waiting!

" You know what? I was promised a plus one for the movie premiere. If you want maybe I could take you... "

" Really? Sure! I love to." Poppy exclaimed surprised.

" Bet and set. It's a date, Popstar."

" Wait what?" Poppy froze.

" You heard me. " Branch smirked confidently winking at Poppy.

Poppy's face was no longer pink. All her blushing turned her face red. The butterflies in her stomach kept multiplying. Her flustered heart decided to skip a beat or two. All of her usual self- assured confidence? Gone down a invisible drain. Was this a dream? If she wakes up and tbis was all a dream she'll cry herself back to sleep because, that would be just down right cruel. Desprate to check if she was dreaming, Poppy slapped herself.

" Why the fuck did you do that?" Branch exclaimed shocked.

Poppy grabbed Branch by her tank top pulling her into a gentle kiss. Both women melted into the soft touch getting lost in the moment. Branch's hand slid up cupping Poppy's cheek. Eventually they pulled away to breath panting with warmth still and smudged makeup lingering on their lips.

" Just checking. " Poppy smiled.

" Your a little crazy... " Branch commented. " I like that but, don't do that again. "

" Fine by me. " Poppy kissed Branch again even more softly than before.
