The Mysterious Mr. Blue

~~xx Chapter 5 xx~~

"I SAID NO!" Branch yelled

"But Branch...she needs you! How many times should i tell this to you?! Get back there and make her happy again! SHE NEEDS YOU!" Blitz argue...

They're in Branch's throne room arguing about Branch returning back to the Troll Tree to help Poppy

"Blitz, i belongs here and she belongs there, for god sake, i shall not bother her there"

"Well, i tried. You're the king, just...think about it Branch. Think about her, think about yourself"

The throne room's gate suddenly open. Revealing a guard

"Sir! You have some guests"

"Thank you Seed, i shall prepare myself to welcome the guests. Can i have their names?"

"Oh, yes sir. They're Guy Diamond, Biggie, Smidge..."

"That sounds familiar, continue"

"Suki, Cooper, Fuzzbert, Satin and Chenille"

"That's interesting..."

"And the last their grey queen, Queen Poppy"

"Wait what?!"

"Queen Poppy...is there a problem sir?"

"N..no...not at all...Blitz! Take my robe and my handkerchief"

"Yes Branch!"

"Seed, you may go. Thank you"

"Yes sir"

After a while Branch already in his robe and wearing his blue handkerchief. Yes, it's his Mr. Blue outfit

"Guards, please enter the Queen Poppy only...i..i need to talk to her"

Poppy enter the throne room seeing the king but soon, she realized it's him...it's Branch

"B..Branch..."

"Yes Poppy. Indeed it's me"

"Y..you're a king!"

"Yes i am, now tell me...why did you come here on the first place?"

"I..i miss you..."

With that Branch commands for the guards to bring Poppy out and to her friends. He also told the guards to show them their rooms

Branch is now in his room, with Blitz again

"Blitz...she comes and i...i'm not strong enough t..to meet her...and she's...she's grey..."

"Told you..."

"B..but i can't let her see me again"

"She already see you duh..."

"Yeah but i wore the handkerchief"

"Tell me. For what you wore that?"

"To hide my sadness from her. I also don't want her to see me. Every time i face her...i..feel sad, and i don't want to show that to her"

"Well. Up to you now that she's already here..."

"I'm going to wait for the right moment to show my face to her"

"Okay, and one more thing"

"What?"

"Poppy and her friends can't go back for a moment coz the Goblins are declaring war with the Underground Trolls"

"I don't even know there's such thing as the Goblins and the Underground Trolls"

"Well now you know"
