Chapter 1: A New Beginning
"20 years ago, Trolls and Bergens didn't live together in peace and harmony. The Bergens believed that if they ate a Troll, it'll give them true happiness like the Trolls had. They had a holiday named Trollstice, where they'd eat a Troll once a year for happiness. However, on a very special Trollstice, King Peppy helped the Trolls escape. On that very day, Prince Gristle was told he'd never be happy, and that the only way he ever will now is to eat a troll."
"Due to this massacre, they banished a Bergen that was known as Chef. They didn't really know her real name, but knew she was a Chef. So Chef it was. 20 years after, Princess Poppy, the daughter of King Peppy, decided that it would be a good idea to throw the biggest, the loudest, the craziest party ever for this anniversary. Then, a grumpy and cold-hearted(at the time) Troll named Branch warned the princess of her deeds. Saying that the party was only gonna endanger them and reveal their hiding spot to the Bergens."
"Sadly, nobody believed him. It was like the boy who cried wolf, instead of a boy warning the people of a wolf coming, and protecting sheep. And then later, after all his lying, when it became true and nobody came to help cause they thought he was lying this time; it was a troll who cried Bergen, and protected the trolls, doing the princess job for her. But because of so many of his false alarms, they didn't listen to his warning and Princess Poppy threw the party anyway."
"When announcing why they're here today, the party was crashed by an evil Bergen, taking some of the Princess friends, and her crush.....at the time" she said, taking a deep breath and then continuing. Her pause confused some of the kids.
"She saw the damage the Bergen had done, and then wished she never threw the party anyway. She vowed to go after her friends, it was "No Troll Left Behind".....right? But her father believed she couldn't do it by herself. But she got an idea, 'maybe if I ask Branch to come, since he's probably the smartest troll in the village, and he accepts, it'll be easier to find them!'"
"She ran in down to his highly- camouflaged(?), highly-Fortified (?), safety-proof(?), survival bunker. And she knocked on his door, screaming his name until he answered from his door mat that labeled, 'Go Away!'. She tells him that they've been attacked and that she needed his help. After a bit, he shows her his bunker, and then she got another idea. 'If he declines my offer, while I'm gone, the trolls can hide in here instead of relocating'. She smirked and waited for his response"
"But he wasn't straightforward much, but hinted that he didn't want to help in the rescue mission. She left his bunker, and then told the Trolls to hide in the bunker. She left on her adventure, meeting many predators until Branch decided he wanted to come and he saved her from spiders(?) who had her captive"
"If there was one thing he didn't like, was her singing 24/7. He told her the plan and they met up with this cloud-man-dude who was later called, Cloud Guy. He messed with Branch for a bit before he got mad and chased him into the right tunnel. The Bergens were miserable, and they went to find their friend. They watched the princess's crush get eaten, or so they thought he did" she'd glare a bit at the book when she'd say "the princess's crush"
"They found out that the Bergen holding them captive had a crush on King Gristle, the Bergen was named Bridget. They made a deal that if she helped them get a friend of theirs back, they'd make her go on a date with the king. As all went well, the date went smoothly. Later that day, trying to look for their friend, they found their cage and the pet alligator-thing chased after them. Only to later find out that they weren't in there."
"Princess Poppy and her friends got captured by Chef, and thrown into their prison. After having hope that they can never find the Trolls, they find out that Troll they used to call a friend, sold them out. All the Trolls were found an put into a pot, loosing all hope and turned grey. But when there was no hope, the grumpy Troll; Branch, stood his ground and sang a lovely song, serenading the princess in the process and restoring the colors of all the hopeless trolls" She smiled at that part, it was her favorite part out of the whole book about little event with Poppy and Branch having their duet.
"Bridget helped all the Trolls escape, giving a sad goodbye to the princess. But then she realized during their escape that she ruined her life to save the Trolls, and now it was time to give back. They had their little party in the castle, and the Bergens found out that true happiness isn't something that you put inside of you, cause it's already there. And then the Trolls and Bergens lived in harmony, as Princess Poppy became Queen Poppy. And Branch became her new boyfriend, with the title Prince Branch, until they get married.."She blushed at the line, but wasn't noticed yet, her pink skin hiding it.
"And get the title King Branch. The End." She said as she closed her huge scrapbook. The trollings smiled and clapped at the story, then a trolling raised their hand.
"Is it just me, or did the history book get much longer?" He asked the pink Queen.
She giggles, "YYYup! As time goes on, history continues. And we did make a lot more progress, so it would get longer!"
The yellow female troll raised a hand, "Who was the princess's Crush's name? And what happened to them?"
She mentally groans in annoyance from the mention of him, "His name was Creek And he was banished, and is now an Outlaw." She answered strictly, meaning that she was serious.
"Why did you have a crush on an outlaw?" One of the trollings asked.
"Back then I did." She said, getting a bit frustrated with the questions about Creek.
"When you and Prince Branch have a Trolling, can I troll-sit them?" They asked, the queen blushed fiercely at the mention of her and Branch having kids.
She didn't know how to answer the question, "I-I guess, s-sure" she replied.
"Well, that was reading time. I'll be back later, you have free-time" She said as she stood up and left the classroom.
She climbs around in the Troll tree, which once was dead and plain, is now alive with vibrant colors. They are still in the process of moving, pods slowly start opening again and the trolls have a home to live. Instead of having a fancy pod like her and her father had cause they were royalty, she decided to live with Branch in his new bunker that was just under the tree roots.
She goes into a pod, and then a troll confronted her. This Troll was one of the best party-throwers in all of the tree. She trusted them, but they also had this suspicion to them, as Branch says. They didn't really seem so happy to see her, not as happy as she was to see them anyway.
"Hey, Milktoast!" She said, looking for something to give to the trollings in the class, wanting to have more books for her to read to the trollings.
"You missed a meeting with King Gristle." She mentioned, and Poppy looked like she was gonna panic.
"O-OH! I COMPLETELY FORGOT--" She screamed, but was cut off.
"And you forgot to meet up with the Snack Pack to discuss important matters about what's happening outside these walls." She said again, looking a bit more aggressive.
"I-I'm Sorry! I--" She said, before getting cut off again. She looked like she was gonna have a heart attack.
"You can't be so forgetful! The story was so long, it's almost time for the Trollings to go home! Not to mention the fact that the moving speed is taking forever, and you should be doing something about it to speed it up!" She said, taking a breath from yelling. Poppy shouldn't be so forgetful of these things.
"I-I...." Poppy had no words, she looked like she lost all her motivation.
"You have stacks of paper on you desk, I recommend that you start working--" Milktoast was gonna say, but Branch walked in on all the fuss and ruckus.
"ENOUGH" He said, looking serious. He wasn't happy about the fact that she's pressuring Poppy to do her work.
He goes to his Queen, and hugs her reassuringly and protectively. She sighed and rested her head on his chest, her hand placement on his shoulders. He had his hands on her waist.
"Leave. her. alone" She's just now becoming queen, you wouldn't understand cause you're just a librarian who throws parties. Don't ever pressure her like that again." He said, he hated it when someone pressured Poppy, or brought out her insecurities.
He picks up Poppy in his chubby arms. She wraps her arms around his neck, his hands are holding her up from her bottom region. He leads her down from the library to the bunker. After locking it tightly and good, he walked over to their couch and sat her down. He may be a bit chubby, but boy was he strong for a Troll.
He made her sit on his lap, her back pressing against his warm chest and stomach. He gives her some shoulder massages, just to calm her. She ran a hand through her hair.
"Branch. I shouldn't be sitting here! I should be getting things done!" She said, becoming panicky again.
"Poppy, relax. You've done a lot today. Just a 5 minute break?" He begged her, stoping and rested his chin on her shoulder to look at her face.
"Branch...." she said, it was very hard for her to say no to Branch.
"For me?" He added, putting his hands around her waist for comfort and balance.
"Fine....." she said and sighed, "But only five minutes.".
She easily relaxed in his grasp. The bunker wasn't so dark and gloomy anymore, it was now filled with vibrant colors, and it made Branch feel better. He nuzzled into her neck, and every time he'd give gentle kisses to her neck, she'd giggle. She's very ticklish, but she remembered something.
"Are we ever gonna have.....a trolling to call our own?" She blushed as she asked the question, and looked at him.
He returns the blush, giving it a dark purple, almost a dark blue blush. He has his colors back now, and became more warmer and open to poppy.
"Maybe once you get into the grove of things. Not sure if you can handle a trolling and your Queen duties at once." He mentioned, and it made sense to her that, having one right now would just add up on her stress.
"Good point. I just wanted to say that." She said with a smile and relaxed. She loved it when her and Branch could have sometime a lone. When they are together, they felt safe. When apart, they felt Venerable and helpless.
She turns around and nuzzles his nose with a warm smile. He holds her a bit closer, and he kisses her cheek, and she giggles. She legit almost fell asleep when she laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She was so comfortable and secure, it didn't even take a minute before she felt drowsy.
" I have to go before I fall asleep" she joked and she sat up and stretched.
"Okay, love. Stay safe." He said she kisses her, she kisses back with a smile and stands. If it just lasted a bit longer.......but duty calls......right? It that how you use that......catchphrase? Or whatever it's called.
She leaves in a rush as Branch sighed and cleans up before she gets back.
_____________
Later that day, it was 12 AM. She was at her desk, signing and filling out paperwork. She had bags under her eyes, and was extremely tired. She only has gotten through one stack, and has 2 more to do. She could faint or pass out at this point, and she started to slow down.
Branch saw his super tired queen. He didn't like it when Poppy pushed her limits. He walks over to her quietly, not wanting to startle her. He slowly and gently placed his huge hands into her tiny shoulders.
"It's time to sleep, Poppy" He said, and used his chubby thumbs to stroke her shoulders.
"I.......need to.......finish" she said in a tired voice and yawned.
"This isn't healthy. You're going to bed, wether you like it or not" He said conceded and picked her up.
She couldn't fight back, way too tired as her eyelids are half-closed. He held her in a bridal style and brought her to bed. He laid her on their new soft bed, and he laid next to her, moving her crown onto the nightstand. He wraps their fluffy blanket over them and held her close again.
She made small cute noises of relaxation, which made him smile. He nuzzled into her, cuddling close to her as she snuggles into him. He kisses her cheek and nose, earning a giggle. He gave a quick sniff of her scent, just to not forget how she smelt like. It was a mixture of lavender and candy like.
She was so close to him, it was like they merged together, a blob of pink and blue. The two fell asleep peacefully, no interruptions whatsoever. Just a calm night, the two lovers laid together. Branch had a dream that he proposed, and became King Branch instead of Prince Branch. And Poppy had the exact same dream.
