Boom, Alblaze, Hype and Trickee

There are Branch’s dearest friends who he views as brothers, the friends his Grandmother introduced to him when he was little

After Grandma died, they were there and they made sure he never went gray after that

“Boom” Branch said as Boom was eating his vegetables aiming it at Alblaze who was eating cake “But he knows I can't eat cake” Boom said aiming his broccoli at Alblaze “Suck it” Boom threw at Alblaze in his hair which made Alblaze panic and tried to remove it

“How are we friends?” Branch as Trickee entered the pod, “I brought cupcakes!” Trickee placed on the table the cupcakes while he gave boom an out meal bowl “I know you can't eat sweets, so I got you oatmeal” Boom sighed “I hate you all”.

Branch laughed as he left the pod as he saw Hype about to walk into the pod with bags full of groceries “Hey Branch, you busy? Trickee was supposed to help me, but he kind of left me behind” Hype said, “Nah was just leaving before Boom decides murder is okay now” Hype raised an eyebrow “I don't understand how he says he can't eat sugar were trolls he ate a shit ton of it when we lived back in the tree” Oh Branch remembered when Boom ate a lot of his Grandma's brownies.

And an explosion came from the pod, and it was yellow glitter “Okay yeah sorry Hype I'm busy I'll be right back” Branch left not wanting to know who pissed off Boom

Branch was walking around Troll Village and well it was noisy like always

And there they were the loudest, craziest of the bunch The Snack Pack and Branch seriously didn't know why they were called that he watched them sing and dance

Up until the end they were all panting Branch gave them an applause as they all looked at them and started to act nervous

And well, Branch stared at Princess Poppy and well he had a crush she was cute, but she was royalty and well Branch was just a simple boy and member

“Hey Branch” Poppy said, “That was great, especially your part Cooper” Branch said, Funny enough, he was there when Cooper's egg just appeared out of the sky. Kismet took care of it when Cooper hatched until they took him away when he was 4 now they just call him their cousin

“Thanks, Branch, are you going to have a concert soon!” Cooper voiced excitedly “No we've been thinking is taking a break besides King Peppy told us Princess Poppy is making the party this time”. Awwss were heard, “See you at the party?” Poppy asked “Sorry Princess, but I'm not a troll's troll”.

It was definitely the biggest, loudest, craziest party ever so Branch was just chilling at his pod his Br- Friends left for the party

Branch was just practicing Card Tricks, guess all the rummy with his Grandma made him a bit obsessed until he heard a knock on the door he opened it and saw Poppy “Poppy why aren't you in the party?” Branch “The party is over we got attacked by a Burgen” Branch looked shocked as he pulled her in the pod and locked it away as they hid behind a closet they used for next performances.

“Branch” Branch shushed her “Branch” “Sorry it's just I have a lot of trauma with Bergens” Branch said “Branch that Bergen they took Creek, Biggie, Cooper, and your friends!” Branch paused his friends B̴̯͉̙̘͐̓͐͐̌͆̕r̸̨̼̩̣̲̗̝̜͈̣̟̼͐̊͊̏̇̏̏̓͐͋̿̕͝ͅo̷̧͓̜͇̯͇̮͔̽t̵̛͕̣͚̤͉̥̗̰͚͎͍̟̖́̑̇̿͗͘͜h̸̨͙͙͖̻͇̤̣̤̙̫̤̗͍̍̒̉͐̈̌͂́͝è̶̟̩̪̳̤͍̫̩͎͕͕͋̇̓̏̎ͅr̸̗̺̣̲̗̮̘̰͙̞̮͓̣̱̂̀s̶̢͎̗̲̗̭̖̺̲̈̓̉̀̃ͅ

Branch looked at Poppy “We have to save them” Branch said determined as Poppy was smiling “That's what I was hoping to hear”

“Why are you singing, Poppy?” Branch asked when they were going through the forest “Well by tomorrow we'll be with our friends” Branch sighed he forgot how optimistic Poppy is “Poppy love the optimism, but we have to be careful we never left Troll Village before who knows what dangers are here”.

Poppy stopped singing and just followed him in silence until nightfall where they set up camp “Okay if I remember well we can use the old Bergen tunnels and go straight to the castle” Branch and Poppy smiled “And then we can party back at Troll Village!” Branch frowned “Poppy we have to leave Troll Village” Poppy frowned but in understanding “Oh yeah if they found us it only natural they will come back”.

Branch gave Poppy a hug “It's not hug time Branch” Branch shrugged “You need it”
