~In The Teaching Pod~

Poppy Was Telling Some Trollings About Hair Gem Growth Origins.

"As The Troll's Joy Grows, So Does The Seed! Until The Flower Blooms Revealing Their Own Troll Gem Inside!"
Poppy Told Them.

The Trollings Listen, Amazed.

Branch Peeked Inside And Watched Poppy Tell The Trollings The Story.

"Then After, A Troll Leader Will Present The Gem To Honor Them In Embracing Their Joy!"
Poppy Finished.

"Whoaaaaa..."
The Trollings Say Fascinated.

Branch Smiled At That.

"And I Tell You All This Because Tiny Diamond's Gem Grew Just This Morning!"
Poppy Said.

A Rock Trolling Raised His Hand.
"But Isn't Tiny Diamond Still A Baby?"

"How Did His Gem Grow So Fast?"
A Funk Trolling Asked.

"Well As You Know, Tiny Is A Unique Kind Of Baby......Like The Boss Baby"
Poppy Replied.

"Wowww, No Wonder His Voice Is So Deep!"
A Techno Trolling Said.

Poppy Saw Branch.
"Speaking Of Recent Gems, Branch Here Grew His Just Last August!"

"Really?!"
The Trollings Turn To Branch.

Branch Walked To Poppy.
"Yep, It Was A Magical Moment For Me. I Almost Ugly Cried"

Poppy Giggles.
"And The Day He Completed Being A Full Grown New Troll"

Both Held Hands And Smile At Each Other.

"Aw...I Don't Wanna Wait A Long Time For My Gem To Grow..."
A Classical Trolling Pouted.

"Just Give It Time, It'll Definitely Come"
Branch Insured.

Poppy Nods.
"Plus, The Book Says So"

The Book Was Gone.

Poppy Notices.
"Hey! Where's The- CLAMPERS!"

Clampers Was Chewing On The Book.

Poppy Snatched It Back.
"Lets Not Eat The Gem Origins!"

"I Never Get To Eat Anything!!!"
Clampers Whined.

"You Ate My Butt -.-"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

"That's Riiiiighttttt...."
Clampers Looked Over At Branch's Butt.

Branch Held His Butt.
"NOOOO- NO NO NO NO!"

"Hmph"
Clampers Turned Away.

Hip-Hop Music Played, As Tiny Came In With His Little Boombox Car.

"Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!"
Tiny Shouted.

"Hey Y'all! I Had My Breakfast And I'm Ready For My Gem!"
Tiny Said.

"Got It Right Here Tiny!"
Poppy Held Out The Sparkly Glitter Gem.

The Trollings Eyes Sparkled.
"Ooooooo 🤩"

Tiny's Eyes Sparkled Too.
"It's As Sparkly As My Daddy's Booty 🤩 And Really Sayin Sumthin"

"Tiny Diamond, Will You Please Step Forward!"
Poppy Said.

Tiny Ran Up To His Aunt.
"YES YES YES!"

"On This Day..."
Poppy Said.

"YES YES YES YES!"
Tiny Jumped.

"You're Own Gem Has Grown, From You're Amazing Joy!"
Poppy Said.

"YESSSS!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!"
Tiny Yelled.

Poppy Held The Gem In Front Of Tiny.
"That I Present To You.....You're Very Own Ge-"

Tiny Quickly Snatched The Gem And Zoomed Out The Pod.
"PEACE & LOVEEEEE! TINY OUT!"

Poppy Blinks.
"Um.....Okay Then"

"Kids Huh-"
Branch Said.

"Alright Kids! You're Dismissed!"
Poppy Told The Trollings.

"YAYYY! BYE QUEEN POPPY!"
The Trollings Wave.

The Trollings Walk Out The Pod, Chatting About Their Gems Growning.

Poppy Stood Up.
"So What Are You Doing Here? I Thought You And The Guys Had A Dodgeball Game"

"Well We Did, Until We Realized How Much We'd Just Hit Chaz And Not Anyone Else"
Branch Said.

"Fully Understand That"
Poppy Laughs.

"WHAT AM I?! THE VILLAGE BILL COSBY?!"
Chaz Yelled From Outside.

Poppy And Branch Walked Out The Pod, Holding Hands.

"So I Was Thinkin, If We Can Have, Ya Know....A Dinner Date?"
Branch Asked.

"Ooooh That Sounds Terrific!"
Poppy Grinned.

Then Poppy Remembered.
"Oh Wait- I Don't Know If I Can"

"Why Not?"
Branch Questioned.

"I Have 2 Birthdays To Attend This Afternoon. Plus Help Delta With Her Family Reunion. Then Help Trollzart With His New Instruments. Thennn I Have To Put Up A Signs Telling The Funk Trolls To Not Poop In The Lagoon"
Poppy Told Him.

"Oh, But Can't You Ask The Other Leaders To Fill In For That?"
Branch Asked.

"I Wish I Could, But They're Busy Too. Even Barb! She's Getting Eye Bags!"
Poppy Said.

"Stressed Barb? Huh....Never Thought I'd See The Day"
Branch Said.

Branch Pats Her Shoulder.
"But Hey, If You Can't Make It, Don't Stress Yourself To Try To Get Everything Done. I'd Hate To See You Exhausted"

Poppy Frowns.
"I Know....But-"

A Spider Hung Down Next To Poppy.
"The Troll Leader Board Meeting Starts In 10 Minutes Poppy~"

Poppy's Eyes Widen.
"The Board Meeting! SORRY BRANCHIE! I GOTTA GO!"

Poppy Kissed His Cheek And Ran.
"SEE YOU LATER!"

"Bye..."
Branch Waved Sadly.

The Snackpack Walked By.

"Ooooooo, Someone Wants To Go On A Dateeee"
Legsly Teased.

"With His Ladyyyy"
Chenille Teased.

Satin Giggles.

"What Kind Of Date Were You Planning?"
Biggie Asked.

Branch Shrugs.
"I Don't Know, Just A Quiet Dinner For Me And Her. And To Have Our First Kiss"

"Awww That's So Sweet"
Biggie Awed.

"Mew"
Dinkles Didn't Care.

"You Haven't Kissed Yet?"
Satin Raised Her Eyebrow.

Chenille Elbows Satin.

"I Mean, Only Cheek Pecks. Not A Actual Kiss"
Branch Said.

"You Really Thought Poppy Would Have Time For A Dinner Date?"
Smidge Said.

"Well Yeah, Why Wouldn't She?"
Branch Asked.

"Trollstopia Is Big. With Lots Of More Trolls"
Smidge Said.

"Soooooo....?"
Branch Said.

"Means Alot More To Deal With"
Smidge Said.

Branch Gasps.
"ALOT MORE TO DEAL WITH?!??!!?

Smidge Nods.

"My Poor Poppy..."
Branch Rubbed His Hands.

"And Not Just Poppy"
Satin Said.

"All The Other Leaders Have To Deal With Alot"
Chenille Added.

"TROLLY MOLLY!!!! HOW CAN I BE SO SURE?!!?!?"
Branch Asked.

"You Could Spy On The Leader Meeting To See How They Are"
Smidge Suggested.

"GOOD IDEA! T O

Branch Zoomed Away.

Chaz Walked To The Snackpack.
"Do You Guys Think I'm A Bill Cosby?"

The Snackpack Took One Look At Chaz.

And Threw Dodgeballs At Him.

Chaz Fell To The Ground.
