Trolls: Broppy One Shots

Just One Moment (The Beat Goes On)

Poppy and Branch sat on top of a hill watching the beautiful sunset. Poppy smiled and held his hand.

Poppy: This is beautiful, Branch, thanks for bringing me up here.

Branch: And it gets better, Poppy.

Poppy: Better?

Branch: One second.

Branch turned around and took a few deep breaths before squirting breath spray in his mouth.

Poppy: Branch?

Branch: I'm good, Poppy! Pull yourself together, Branch, you can do this.

Poppy waited patiently as Branch turned his attention back to her.

Poppy: So, what was it you wanted to tell me?

Branch: I...uh...I...I...I...

Poppy: Spill, what is it?

Branch slapped himself in the face and took a few more breaths.

Branch: Poppy, what I wanted to tell you is that...I...well, I like you.

Poppy giggled.

Poppy: I like you too, Branch, is that all you wanted to tell me.

Realizing that Poppy wasn't following, Branch realized he had to be more specific, and be super sincere. He finally worked up the courage to speak his mind to Poppy.

Branch: Poppy...I've liked you for a long time and...I've started liking you a lot more than just my best friend...see, Poppy, I have strong feelings for you. You're an amazing queen, and you're the main reason I'm who I am today. I never would've known what true happiness is if you hadn't intervened.

Poppy wasn't sure where Branch was going, but she still continued to listen to him.

Branch: Poppy...I think I found the right troll that I was meant to be with...

Poppy: What do you mean?

Poppy soon got her answer, Branch got down on one knee and opened a box. When Poppy saw the ring, she gasped, her hands flying to her mouth and her tears flowing gently down her cheeks.

Branch: Queen Poppy, will you make me the happiest troll in the world and be my wife?

Poppy: Y...Yes Branch, I will...of course I will...

Poppy held her hand out for Branch to put the ring on her finger. However, just as he was about to...

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Branch shot up from his bed and turned off the alarm on his remote.

Branch: Gary! What did I tell you about waking me up on the weekends?!

Nothing.

Branch: What did you just say?! Say it to my face!...That's it, you're grounded young man!

Reluctantly, Branch got out of bed putting his remote in his hair. He turned his attention to the picture he had next to his bed of him and Poppy making funny faces. He sighed touching the photo where Poppy posed.

Branch: Just one moment, Gar, one moment with her, just the two of us. That's all I need.

Soon, Branch got his chance, he noticed that all the trolls were acting lovey-dovey towards each other, it made him sick, but also curious.

Branch: What's...going on?
