Poppy has a big announcement but feels like it won't go the way she hopes thankfully Branch is there to lift her spirits.
Poppy was pacing back and forth because she was nervous about the big announcement she was going to make, now normally when she had to deliver news it was no problem that couldn't be fixed but those were little things this thing however was big.
"Poppy?" She heard the soft voice of the one she loved the most and turned around and saw him, Branch her beloved. He looked so handsome in his leaf cape and crown that she made for him for this announcement and then looked down at her finger at the beautiful golden ring with a pink flower jewel he gave her and had tears in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" He said worriedly for his love, he walked towards her and took her hands in his and rubbed his thumb on her ringed finger, Poppy looked at him with a nervous smile. "I'm okay Branch." She lied, Branch looked at her with an unconvinced look.
"Are you having second thoughts? Because you don't have to do this, there's always plan B." Branch said to reassure her, he knew that she wanted to do something big and public but he could've settled for something small and private with just her father and sister and his brothers but he also knew that she wanted every troll she knows and loves to know about this.
"No I'm not having second thoughts, I want to do this it's just that when I make announcements they were something usually small and fixable but this announcement is big and I want everyone to know it." She said with visible tears in her eyes. "What if I mess it up and the pop trolls won't accept it?" She said as she pulled away from him and turned around and closed her eyes as she hugged herself.
Branch felt so bad for his beautiful queen, he knew that she could get stressed a lot when it came to the pop trolls, now Branch wasn't going to insult and belittle his kind but they were the type of trolls that wanted everything to be worry free and positive and they always relied on Poppy to fix their problems which she was great at but Branch would be lying if he said he didn't wish they would do things for themselves and stop asking their queen to fix their little problems and that included the SnackPack as well.
But he also knew that Poppy was incredibly stubborn because she believed that if she didn't fix it it won't be fixed but he was like that too but he also loved that about her. So he was going to do the one thing he knew how to lift her spirits:sing.
"You've already done so much."
"So many lives you've changed."
"So many souls you've touched."
Branch sang as he walked towards her and turned her around to face him and caressed her cheek in his palm, she looked at him and smiled at him, he always knew how to make her feel better and that's one of the things she loved about him including his beautiful voice.
"And in the end, if it's only me you've saved."
Branch sang as he looked at her with so much love in his eyes and pulled her towards the window where the sun was beaming so it could beam on both of them giving them a heavenly glow as he pressed his hands on his heart until she finally decided to sing along with him.
"There's something I've been dying to say."
She sang along with him, both of their beautiful voices mixing together in harmony as they sang and looked at each other with all the love in world.
"More than Anything, More than Anything."
They sang as Branch caressed her cheek with his hand again and she leaned into it to savor it as they touched foreheads together and finished the song.
"Need you to know I love you More than Anything."
"More than Anything."
They sang the last lyric of the song and looked at each other and leaned in to share a kiss, Branch pulled her closer to him as he wrapped his arms around her and she had her hands on his cheeks.
When they broke the kiss they looked at each other lovingly and he caressed her cheeks. "Now that my love's spirits are lifted is she ready to go deliver the big news?" He said teasingly and rubbed his nose on hers. She rolled her eyes at his silliness with a smile on her face.
"With her love by her side? More than anything." She said and her and him exited out of the Royal pod and made their way to the big mushroom where every troll and Queen Bridget and King Gristle and including the other tribe leaders, the delegates, the SnackPack, her father and sister and his brothers both biological and friends were waiting for them.
Poppy looked nervous but looked at Branch who gave her a smile that told her "You've got this my love." That reassured her and she took a deep breath and announced the news. "Attention every troll, you're all probably wondering why me and Branch called you all here." She said as Branch stood by her side and took her hand in his and squeezed it gently.
"Yeah we were wondering that but knowing you guys it's probably good news." Barb said leaning against a tree and a smile on her face.
"Well it is good news because me and Branch...are getting married." Poppy said excitedly and hugged her fiancé. It took about 3 seconds for all the trolls to adapt to the news and broke down into big cheers and congrats for the happy couple.
Viva and King Peppy went over to Poppy and gave her a big hug and were crying tears of joy. "My baby sister is getting married, I'm so happy!!!" Viva said as she gave Poppy a big hug. "My baby is getting married, I'm finally getting a son in law." Peppy said with the biggest smile on his face.
"Congrats baby bro you're finally a man." John Dory said as him, Bruce, Clay and Floyd crowded Branch to congratulate him, while Branch was grateful that John congratulated him he groaned and rolled his eyes about the remark he made about him. "John he was already a man." Floyd said in Branch's defense, Branch silently thanked Floyd for being the mature one.
"He's right but still our baby bro is getting married!!! Branch I can't wait for you join the married life, it's the best thing in the world and I also can't wait for you and Poppy to give my kids some cousins." Bruce teased a very flustered Branch at the mention of kids, Him and Poppy wanted kids but they wanted to get married first before they became parents.
"Congrats man I'm so proud of you. Is it okay if I manage the costs on the wedding and the reception and the honeymoon?" Clay said as he pulled out his pen and Notepad, Branch didn't really know how to respond to that but was grateful his brother wanted to manage his and Poppy's big day and their vacation. "Sure Clay and thanks. Also when are you and Viva going to settle down eh?" Branch teased his brother who looked at him with a shocked and flustered expression.
"W-We're n-not-" he stuttered until Branch interrupted him with a laugh. "I'm just messing with you, I know you and Viva aren't a couple...yet." Branch said with seriousness and left Clay to ponder his thoughts.
"Congratulations Branch I'm so proud of you, you're going to make a great king." Floyd said with tears in his eyes and hugged his little brother, Branch hugged him back. He always dreamed of having his brothers including Floyd witness him marrying the love of his life and now that dream was about to be fulfilled, Floyd broke the hug and gestured him to Poppy. "Now go be with your beautiful fiancé." He said and pushed Branch to Poppy.
As soon as Poppy and Branch were back together they took each other's hands and were suddenly greeted by Bridget and Gristle. "Congratulations you guys! I can't wait to have Royal double dates with you guys." Bridget squealed. "Yeah congratulations guys, you're going to love being married." Gristle said with a smile.
"Yeah we will." Poppy and Branch said to each other in unison and looked lovingly into each other's eyes, ready to start their future together More than Anything.
And that's it for this one, wow this was a long one but it's one I wanted to do for a while now because the idea was so cute and I love the idea of Poppy and Branch singing the More Than anything reprise because they remind me of Charlie and Vaggie, anyway I hope you all enjoy this one, The song and the characters belong to their respective owners and I own nothing.
BYYYYYYYYYYE!!!!💖💙
