(It's Like 'A Flower For Poppy' But I Wanna Do It With My OC)

***

In Vibe City, Queen Essence Was Sleeping In Her And Quincy's Bedroom By Herself.

Then, Z Sneaks Up To The Bed And Shouted, "Surprise!"

Essence Screams And Then Threw Her Pillow. After That She Z By Her Bed.

"Z, How Did You Get In Here?" Essence Asked.

"D Let Me In. He Unlocked The Door. He's Been Hiding In Here For Last 2 Hours." Z Answered.

"Under Your Bed!" D Shouted, Surprising Essence.

D Coughed Then Said, "We Need To Talk About You And Dad's Dust Bunny Situation."

"We Need To Talk About Boundaries. Why Are You Two Here?" She Asked.

"To Celebrate Your Quarter Birthday. Halfway To Your Half Birthday!" Z Said As She Gives Essence Her Present.

"What?" Essence Asked As She Took The Gift And Opened. Then, She Gasped.

"Is This You And Cooper? I-I Can't Believe It. How Old Were You Two?" Essence Asked.

"Me And Cooper's Adoptive Mom, Serena, Took This Picture After I Hatched From My Egg. Cooper Hatched From His Egg The Day Before. And I Knew You And Dad Wanted Some Of Our Baby Pictures, So I Thought You Two Could Have This One To Help You Since You Missed Out On Some Of Our Mile Stones Of Our Life." Z Answered. 

"Z, Sweetheart, This Is... Unbelievable." Essence Said As She Pulled The Picture To Her Heart.

"Nah, It's Just A Two Days Worth Searching For A Mom. Anyway, I Got To Go. Clamper's Wants To Give Me Square Dancing Lessons. Enjoy!" Z Said As She Started To Leave.

"Aww, Look How Adorable They Look." Essence Said As She Looked At The Picture.

D Waved His Foot In Front Of Her Face, Then Said. "Uh-Oh. Z Present Syndrome. First Comes The Overwhelming Joy."

"This Is The Most Amazing Gift I've Ever Recieved."Essence Said.

"Then Comes The Crushing Guilt." Prince D Continued.

"No Gift I Ever Give Her Could Live Up To This." Essence Said.

"Tell Me About It. I Mean Actually Tell Me About It... At The Z Present Support Group." Prince D Replied.

***

At Night In Pop Village, There Was A Group Meeting.

Essence, Prince D, Quincy, Branch, Poppy, Delta Dawn, Trollex And Trollzart Meet Up To Talk About Their Gifts.

"Hey, Guys, I Have Someone Here Who Would Like To Share." Prince D Said.

"Hi, My Name's Essence, And I Received A Gift From Z." Essence Introduced.

"Hi, Essence." Everyone Greeted.

Essence Sighed, "I Metioned One Baby Picture Once, Three Month Ago, In Passing. How Did She Remember That?"

"Wait A Minute. Z Gave You One Of Her Baby Pictures?" Branch And Quincy Asked.

"Yeah." Essence Answered As She Showed Them The Picture.

"Oof! So Personal." Poppy Said.

"I Know. And Now Her Half Birthday Is Almost Here. What Chance Do Mere Trolls Have Against Thoughtfulness Of This Magnetude?" Essence Asked.

Poppy, Branch, Trollex, Trollzart And Delta Looked At Each Other.

"We've Been There." They Said.

***

Poppy, Branch, Trollex, Trollzart And Delta Opened Their Presents.

"Ooh!" They Said.

"A Pink Mircophone!"

"A Aqua-Colored Headphones!"

"A Glittered Baton!"

"A Guide For Extreme Pranks!"

"A New Cowgirl Hat!"

"This Is Amazing, Z! Thank You!" Trollex Said.

"Yeah, It's Like You Read My Dream Journal!" Branch Exclaimed.

Everyone Looked At Him, Confused.

"Just Kidding." Branch Said.

Branch Then Looked At Z.

"That Stays Between Us." Branch Whispered To Z.

***

"And I Know I'll Never Measure Up On What She Did For Me." Quincy Said.

***

Z Put On A Constellation Cape On Quincy.

(Ignore The Girl)

"I Am So Fufilled! Thank You So Much, Sweetie!" Quincy Exclaimed.

He Hugged His Daughter And Z Hugged Him Back.

***

"Then There's The Gift She Gave Me." Prince D Said.

***

"Ready?" Z Asked.

Prince D Nodded, Excitedly.

"Best Funk Brother Forever." Z Said.

Z Gave Him A Constellation Drawing Of Him And His Little Sister, Hugging.

Prince D Said, "Oh My God. I Know Just Where To Put This."

He Ran To Put It In A Picture Frame And Kissed The Edge.

***

"Guys, We Are Not Coming Out Short This Time. Someone Has To Have An Idea For A Gift Z Would Like." Quincy Said.

Delta Gasped, "I Got Just The Thing."

Delta Pulled A Rope.

A Z-Shaped Pinata Came Down.

"The Z Pinata!"

"Huh?" Everyone Asked.

"See, We Give Z A Stick, And Then..."

Delta Started Hit The Pinata So Hard That It Scared Them.

Delta Stopped And Looked At Them.

"What In Tarnation Was I Thinking?" Delta Asked.

The Head Fell Off, Making Them Gasp.

"Guys, We Could Give Her A Group Gift." Trollzart Suggested.

"No!" Everyone Shouted.

"Then We're Each Just Giving Her A Fraction Of A Gift! That Would Be Like Someone Only Saying A Fraction Of "I Love You!" Prince D Said.

"I Lo-" Poppy Started, But Stopped.

"Finish It!" Trollzart Said, As He Shaked Poppy.

Then, Trollex And Branch Pulled Trollzart As He Starts To Ugly Cry.

"You're Right. Group Gifts Are The Worst" Trollzart Said, As Branch And Trollex Pats Her Back.

"Guys, It's Going To Be Okay, But We Have To Focus. It's Not The Perfect Gift Idea Is Gonna Fall Out Of A Tree." Branch Said.

Barb Fell Out Of A Tree.

"Dudes, Dudettes, I've Got The Perfect Gift Idea! See, I Was In The Market, Playing My Guitar...

***

"When I Overheard Z Talking To The Florist."

"You're Sure Don't Have Any? I Only Saw Them Once When I Was 5. They Were The Most Beautiful Flowers I've Ever Seen. I'd Give Anything To Have Them Again." Z Said.

"So, That's When It Hit Me."

***

"What If We Gave Her A Guitar?" Barb Asked.

"Barb, You've Got It." Branch Said.

Everyone Said, "Huh?"

"No, No, No. Not The Guitar. We Could All Go Find The Flowers." Branch Stated.

"Ooh!" Everyone Said.

"I'll Give Her Bouquet In A Vase!" Delta Said.

"I'll Weave Some Into A Crown!" Poppy Said.

"I'll Also Make A Personalized Gift." Trollzart Said.

"But How Do We Know Which Kind Of Flower She Means?" Trollex Said.

"We Need To Ask Someone Who Knows Everything About Z." Essence Said.

"Okay, But We Don't Know Anyone Who Knows Everything About Her. And We Can't Ask Her Adoptive Family, Last I Heard They're Out OfTown For A Few Days." Quincy Said.

"We Might Know Someone." Poppy And Branch Said.

***

The Next Day, The Leaders And Branch Went King Peppy.

"Ah, Yes. I Remember Like It Was Yesterday. I Woke Up, Had A Cupcake-Flavored Muffin, Went On A Hike With Branch And Quincy--"

"That Was Yesterday." Quincy Said.

"Right! Wait, What Are We Talking About Again?" King Peppy Asked.

"Z's Flowers!" Everyone Shouted.

"Oh, Yes! That Would Make An Excellent Gift. If It Would Help, I Can Draw One From Memory." Peppy Said.

He Drew A Horrible Blue Flower.

"That Does Not Help." Barb Said.

"Hm. Apparently My Memory's Terrible. You Know, I Might Have A Picture Of The Flowers In Z's Baby Scrapbook. Which Is Good Because My Memory Is Terrible." Peppy Said.

"Your Dad Keeps Z's Baby Scrapbook, Popsqueak?" Barb Asked.

"Yeah. Serena Is My Dad's Cousin, So Z And Cooper Are Apart Of The Family." Poppy Answered.

King Peppy Showed Them A Picture Shiny Blue Flowers.

"Ooh!" They Said.

"I Know! With This, I Can Draw The Flower Perfectly." Peppy Said.

"No, We Don't... If We Have...Never Mind. Where Did You Take This?" Prince D Said.

"Lucky For You, I Make Sure All My Scrapbooks Contain Comprehensive Maps. It Saids Here We Found Them In Budding Valley, In A Cave Called... The Flotto Of The Growers." Peppy Said.

"Huh?" Everyone Asked, Confused.

"What Was That?" Branch Asked.

"Uh... No, Sorry. Got A Little Tongue-Tied." Peppy Apologized

"Grotto Of The Flowers." He Corrected.

Peppy Then Just Looked At The 4th Wall.

"Thanks, King Peppy. I'm Just Gonna Take This." Quincy Said As He Took The Map.

"Certainly! Good Luck!" Peppy Said.

***

The Leaders And Branch Made It To Budding Valley.

"Way To Go, Guys. According To The Map, We're Just About To Reach The Field Of Blossoms." Quincy Said.

"Quincy, Doesn't That Say "Field Of Grossums"?" Trollex Asked.

"Trollex, Please. Why Would It Say--" Quincy Started To Say.

Then, Grossums Appeared And Started Growling At Them.

They Screamed And Managed To Get Away From The Grossums.

"Phew, That Was A Close One." Prince D Said.

"Tell Me About It." Delta Said.

They Ducked Their Heads As A Bee-Like Humming Bird Flew Passed Them.

"Oh No! Birds! The Terror Of The Skies! We Should Go Another Way." Branch Said As He Walks Back In Fear.

Barb Took The Map From Quincy, Then Laughed.

"Relax, Boy Toy. It Says These Birds Are Only Interested In Sucking Nectar From A Certain Kind Of Flower." Barb Stated.

Branch Sighed In Relief.

Barb Then Pointed To A Flower That Looked Like Troll Hair.

"That Kind Of Flower." Barb Pointed Out.

Then, A Bird Looked At The Trolls. They Looked At Their Hair, Realizing Their Hairs Look Like The Flowers.

"Oh My God!" Barb Shouted.

They Started To Run Away From The Bird.

"I Hate Being Right!" Branch Said.

"You Do Not!" Trollex Said.

They Hid Behind A Mushroom So They Won't Get Caught.

"We'll Never Make It! We Should've Gone With The Guitar!" Barb Yelled.

"It's Okay. The Map Says We Only Have One More Obstacle To Face. The Kabloom..."

Branch Was Sent Flying By A Kabloom Shroom While Screaming,"...Shrooms!"

Everyone Blinked.

"Did He Say "Kabloom Shroom" Or "Kabloom Shrooms"?" Prince D Asked. 

A Kabloom Shroom Them Catapult To The Other Side Of The Valley.

Everyone Groaned.

Branch Saw A Cave Up Ahead.

"I Think We Found The Cave." Branch Said.

"Yeah." Everyone Said.

"It Wasn't Easy, But We Finally Made It. The Grotto Of Flowers." Essence Said.

But, Once They Went Inside, They Gasped.

There Was Only One Left!

"There's Only One Left?" Barb Asked.

Prince D Said, "No. We Can't Give Her The One Flower. That Would Be Like..."

"...A Group Gift." Everyone Said, Then Shuddered.

"Okay, There's Only One Way To Handle This. Everyone Vote Who They Think Should Give Z The Flower." Quincy Suggested.

"Me!" Everyone Said.

"Guys, I've Got It! Two Words: Rad Guitar." Barb Said.

"Oh, Oh, Oh! Here's What We Do. I'm Gonna Pick The Flower..." Prince D Said.

He Picked The Flower.

"...And Run!"

Prince D Ran Away With The Flower, The Others Tried To Catch Him But He Was Too Fast.

Poppy Used Her Hair To Grab Prince D Leg, Making Him Drop The Flower.

The Flower Was Thrown In The Air.

"I've Got It! I've Got It! I've Got It!" Trollzart Said.

A Robotic Arm Caught The Flower.

"Hey!" Trollzart Complained.

"I'll Take That, Thank You." Branch Said.

Barb Grapped The Flower.

"No, Thank You." Barb Said.

"Hey!"

Everyone Ran Out Of The Cave, Trying To Get The Flower From Each Other.

"Can't Catch Me, Dudes And Dudettes, Because I'm Taking The Kaboom Shroom Express!" Barb Said.

"Up, Up And Away!" Barb Said.

She Jumped, But Nothing Happened.

It Was Just A Puddle.

Barb Groaned, "I Think This Is Just A Puddle."

Branch Grabbed The Flower, Then Kabloom Shroom Lifted Him In The Air.

"Branch For The Win!"

Then, Cloud Guy Grabbed The Flower From Him.

Branch Screamed, "No, Not You!"

Cloud Guy Sniffed The Flower And Then Throws It Away.

Essence Jumped In The Air And Caught.

"Thank You!" She Said.

Prince D And Quincy Saw She Had The Flower.

A Kaboom Shroom Was In Front Of Them.

The Kaboom Shroom Gave Them An Idea, They Nodded At Each Other.

"Funk Twister Attack!"

They Tackled Essence To The Ground.

"Ha, You're Not Going Anywhere Now!" Prince D Taunted.

"And Neither Are We!"

Branch Took The Flower From Essence.

"Yoink!" Branch Said.

He Laughed AndThen Poppy Right Behind Him.

Branch Said, "Give It Up, Poppy! I'm Not Going Back To Z Empty-Handed, And No Power On Earth Can..."

"Look Out! Bird!" Poppy Said.

Branch Screamed And Ducked.

Poppy Grabbed From Him.

"Poppy, Look Out! Bird!" Trollex Warned.

Poppy Said, "Come On! How Dumb Do You Think I--"

A Bird Then Grabbed The Flower From Poppy.

Poppy Grunted, "Hey!"

Delta Was Riding On That Bird.

Then, A Grossum Pounced On Her, Delta Kicked It Off Her.

The Bird Started To Fly Away With The Flower In It's Beak.

"Oh No, Come Back!" Prince D Shouted.

"What Have We Done?" Essence Asked.

"I Guess We're Giving Z A Guitar." Trollzart Said, Giving Up.

"Oh Yeah!" Barb Said.

"No Guys, This Isn't Over. If Z We're Here, What Would She Say?" Essence Asked.

"Don't Do Something Overly-Elaborate!" They Said.

"No! Well, Yes, That's What She'd Say. But What Would She Do?" Essence Asked Again.

Poppy And Branch Used Their Hair As A Slingshot And Delta Grabbed The Hair To Bring It Back.

Trollzart Got Ready To Grab The Flower.

"Trollspeed, My Friend." Prince D Said.

They Saluted Each Other.

"Fire!" Quincy Commanded.

Delta Let Go Of The Hair And Trollzart Grabbed The Flower.

Trollzart Went Up To The Air So Fast.

He Then Parachuted Himself Down And Fell Next To Z.

Z Was Reading When She Heard Trollzart Landing.

"Trollzart, What's Up?" Z Asked.

Trollzart Dropped The Flower On The Ground.

Z Gasped, "My Very Favorite Flower! This Is So Thoughtful!"

Z Saw The Other Leaders And Branch Walking Up To Them.

"Hey Guys. Were You All In On This?" Z Asked.

"Yeah. It's A... Group Gift." Branch Answered.

"A Group Gift? I Love It! Thank You! This Is (Sniffs The Flower) Terrific." Z Said.

The Others Were Shocked To Hear That.

"Really? You're Not Disappointed?" Trollex Asked.

"Disappointed? Why Would I Be?" Z Asked Confused.

Z Puts The Flower Behind Her Ear.

"Guys, Do You Realize How Much You All Mean To Me? I Cherish Every Moment We Share Together." Z Said.

Z Took Out A Dolphin Necklace.

"See, Trollex, This Is Necklace You Gave Me When I Went Techno Reef For The First Time."

"Trollzart, This Was Piece You Played For Me When You Found Out I Was Paying You A Visit."

"D, This Is Brother Sister Bracelet You Bought Me Last Month."

Z And D Hugged Each Other.

"Poppy, This Headband Is What You Were Wearing When We First Met."

"Branch, This Is The Spear You Made Me For My 12th Birthday."

"Dad, This Is The Ring You Wanted To Give Me When I Turned 10."

"Delta, This Is Lasso Gave Me When You Started Teaching Me How To Use It."

(Ignore The Top)

"Mom, This Is The Glitter Makeup You Bought Me When We Went Shopping Together. It Reminds Me How Alike We Are, Deep Down."

"And, Barb, This Is The Guitar You Gave Me This Morning."

"Oh Yeah." Barb Said.

"The Point Is, Your Friendship And Your Love Is The Gift A Funk Troll Could Ever Want." Z Said.

The Leaders And Branch Went, "Awww!"

Z Gave Them A Hug And They Hugged Her Back.

"Now, Don't Get Me Wrong, I Just Love The Flower. And It's Going Look Great With The Rest Of Them." Z Said.

"Wait, "The Rest Of Them"?" Quincy Asked, Confused.

"Yeah, By The Time We Got The Grotto Of Flowers, There Was Only One Left." Essence Stated.

"Oh, Yeah. King Peppy Gave Me A Bouquet This Morning." Z Said.

Peppy Came By With Cart Full Of Shiny Blue Flowers.

"Well, The Idea Just Came To Me." Peppy Said, Laughing.

Much The Leaders And Branch's Annoyance.
