lol y'all really liked the bad hair day inspired one shot so i wrote a pal-entine's day one since we were robbed <3

trollstopia season two spoilers obviously!

The Pal-entine's Day dance was beginning; all the trolls from each tribe and their companions entered the dance floor dressed in cute, stylish outfits. Everyone's pal-posals went great and everyone seemed extremely satisfied with their outcome— except for one troll.

Poppy greeted each duo with a genuine smile and warm greeting, expressing her happiness for them all, but deep down she wasn't the brightest. Whoever was supposed to pal-pose to her— never did.

All day while assisting Demo with his pal-posal she waited patiently for her special person to ask her, but they clearly had no interest in asking her out.

Once everyone seemed to be there, Poppy deserted her post at the entrance and walked towards the dance floor. It was the most awkward she's ever felt at a party. Everyone had someone to spend the night with, except for her.

She tried to strike up conversations with her closest friends, but they were all too busy with their dates to talk to her long.

Poppy sighed and wallflowered by a tree, removing a flower from her headband. "Who was supposed to ask me out and why didn't they do it? Is something wrong with me?" She stared at the flower sadly, asking herself a thousand questions.

She removed the entire headband from her hair and turned her back to the party, "Maybe I should just go ho- AAH!"

As Poppy stepped forward—Branch came crashing down from the tree, landing right on top of her.

"Sorry! Sorry! That did NOT go as I planned!" Branch got up and dusted himself off, then assisted Poppy off the ground.

"Why are you hiding in a tree? You should be out on the dance floor with your pal-entine!"

"Uh.. well... about that.." Branch scratched the back of his neck and looked down.

Poppy frowned at him sympathetically, "Oh.. did they reject you?"

"What? No! I didn't get reje-"

Poppy wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him tight, "I'm so sorry to hear that!"

"Poppy—"

"Whoever it was, is definitely missing out on a super fun night." Poppy rested her head on his shoulder, now patting him on the back, as he repeatedly tried to get her attention.

"I DIDN'T GET REJECTED!" Branch pulled away from her, "I was supposed to ask you but I got scared you wouldn't want to and panicked and just didn't ask.." He stared at the ground, a little embarrassed.

Poppy stared at him in total shock. Him possibly being her pal-entine crossed her mind a few times, but she didn't think he'd be too scared to even ask her. "Branch, why would you think I'd not want to go with you? I would've loved to go with you!"

Branch looked into her eyes, "Really?"

"Of course! I care about you SO much! I would never say no!" Poppy gave him another quick hug and held his hands.

They stood gazing into each other's eyes and holding hands, blocking out everything around them. This lasted for about ten seconds, before Poppy finally broke the silence.

"So.. I know the dance is almost over, but.. Branch, will you be my pal-entine?" She got down on one knee and held out the flower she had removed from her headband.

Branch gasped and without any hesitation jumped into her arms, "YES!"

Poppy laughed and stuck the flower to his vest, "LET'S PARTY!"
