"......you've been dethroned."

Poppy's mind went blank after what he said. She's been dethroned? No way, it can't be. He must be joking.

Poppy: "I-I've been d-d-d-d-" *tongue tied and eyes closed*

Branch: "Dethroned? Yes, believe it or not, it's true. Due to your 'bad behaviour', your dad took away your crown. You kinda fainted after he told you, must've caused you to have memory lost. Not to mention, he asked me if I could make you feel better and I agreed. Also, *holds her* it gives us time to hang out more."

As he holds her, he starts to kiss her neck while pulling down her dress again, but that whole 'dethroning' situation really shocked Poppy, and she didn't know what to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Poppy opened her eyes, Branch was gone. Instead, she was in the forest, that's now morning and the same spot where she was in her dream, or so she thought it was. Poppy sighed, but suddenly heard a strange noise, the same noise she heard before. Before she knew it, something came out of her hair revealing to be...an octupus-like creature.

Poppy: "AAAAHHHH!!!!!"

The creature screamed too and flied away from her. Branch told her days ago that that creature is called The Dream Sucker, it encounters the troll it first sees and traps them in a dream, which can be permanent if they don't wake up in time. The only way to wake them up is to shock themselves awake. I guess Poppy was lucky enough to have her dream shock her awake.

But wait a minute, if what she just experienced turned out to be a dream then that means...Branch did left Troll Village and was really mad at her (Dream Branch wasn't really mad at her, he wants her). Poppy let out a frustrated sigh, I guess sometimes you can't have nice things, even if you hoped for it. But on the bright side, what Dream Branch told her will never come true, I mean, why would she be dethroned as queen and princess? Because of her 'bad behavior'? Pfft, that's ridiculous.

While Poppy was deep in thought, Peppy suddenly came out of the bushes and saw her.

Peppy: "Oh, there you are, come on, let's go home."

Peppy's voice snapped Poppy out of her zoning and she followed her dad back to the village.

When they returned, Poppy noticed that the trolls aren't having a happy day. Sure, they're glad Poppy's back but, it's always her coming back, they want Branch back, and I mean they really want him back.

Poppy: "Dad, why is everyone so....quiet?"

Peppy: "Don't you remember? They're sad that Branch left."

Oh that's right, Poppy drove him away with her horrible words. Way to ruin their joy by ending what could really be their most favorite ship ever, Poppy😒.

Truth be told, they don't care if Branch drives Poppy crazy, they just want Branch back and say thank you to him for what he's been doing for the village, but noooo, Poppy just had to blurt out what she thinks of him, it's too horrible to even repeat them.

Peppy: "But, there's something I need to tell you. The trolls saw what you've been doing lately and honestly, it's not good, you're no longer queen."

Say what now?

Poppy: "What?!"

Okay, nevermind the dethroning being ridiculous. At least half of it came true, she's now just a princess.

Sorry if it's short, but I can't think of anything anymore😞😟😞😟😧. Also, here's my theory, trolls only turn grey once, they don't turn grey the second time, no matter how upset or sad they get. Does that sound right?
