Poppy's POV

I went in my pod and started to prepare myself for The Stars' Parade when I remembered my purse that I left on Branch's bathroom. I should get it...

I opened Branch's pod door and looked for him.

"Hello? Branchie?"

No one's answering. I guess I should just get in.

I searched everywhere for Branch but it looks like he's really not in here... Maybe I should just get my purse in the bathroom.

As I approach the bathroom, I saw its door slightly opened. I took a peek inside and saw Branch with his back facing me, removing his shirt.

I didn't tell him that I was there. I don't know why I did not stop myself on staring at his body.

He faced sideways and...

I saw his abs.

Oh my gah.

I kept on watching him until I started to scream when he was just going to remove his shorts.

Branch's POV

"N-NO, WAIT!!"

I was shocked because someone just shouted. I quickly turned to the Troll and realized that it was actually my sweetheart.

My eyes widened and said, "P-Poppy?! What are you doing?!"

"I-I just forgot something-my purse in here and....and...sorry!" Poppy said with her face red.

I chuckled. But deep inside me was full of embarassment. "Okay. You can get it now."

She slowly grabbed her purse, her eyes staring on me and quickly slammed the door.

As I heard Poppy slam the main door, I immediately locked the bathroom door and closed the curtains.

I looked at myself and was so ashamed. Good thing I stopped from removing my shorts or else...

~~✨~~

I fastened the buttons of my white polo and then I grabbed my black, satin tuxedo and wore it.

"Um, Branch?" Poppy said, peeking at the door.

"Oh, hi-" I paused and rubbed my arm, remembering what happened a while ago. "Poppy..."

"Ohh...hehe..um, nice outfit! You look so handsome..." She said and smiled dreamily.

"Thanks." I said and smiled. "How about you? May I see your outfit? W-why won't you come in?"

"Uhh...I-uhh," Poppy said shyly.

"Come on." I said.

She rubbed her arm and showed her outfit.

"W-woah..." I said,

It's like I'm in front of a beautiful angel. She was so lovely in her blue gown. My eyes suddenly stared on her curled pink hair, down to her crown and to her white-to- sapphire blue ombré gown. She was just so beautiful...

Poppy's POV

"W-woah..."

"Do I look okay?" Poppy asked shyly.

"Are you kidding? You look so amazing." Branch said and held my hands.

I blushed and smiled.

"Thanks Branchie."

He smiled, giving a you're welcome sign. But then he got a different look and said, "Hey, can you..." and did a gesture.

"What?" I asked and raised my eyebrow.

"Put that up." He said, pointing to my dress. I was actually wearing a tube gown and he wants me to raise it.

"Uh, okay?" I chuckled and did what he said. "Why, by the way?"

"I don't wanna let other boys to see you like that." He answered and crossed his arms.

I was very blushed. I smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

He smiled back. Then he took his neck tie and was just gonna wear it, but I stopped him.

"What?" He asked.

I smiled. I took his neck tie and tied it to him.

He blushed and kissed my forehead. Then he said, "I want you to do this until we grow old, okay?"

"Until we grow old?"

"Yeah. Until we would have grandchildren." He answered.

I was touched because of what he had said. "I will." I said and smiled.

After wearing it to him, I then said, "Now, let's go. Or else we might be late."

He nodded and we went outside. Creek and Kaylee were waiting for each of us. Well, Creek is gonna be my partner for the parade and Branch's partner is...ugh-Kaylee.

"C'mon, Branchie!" Kaylee shouted.

What the...?

I should be the ONLY one who will call my baby boy Branchie!

Ugh, this is too much! If only I could-I could slap her...face. But-but I can't. A queen should be a good rolemodel for everyone.

"Poppy, let's go." Creek said.

Kaylee noticed Branch holding a rose.

"Oooh is that for me?" She asked.

Heh. Branchie just snobbed her!

Before we let go our hands, Branch told me something.

"If Creek would do something bad to you, I will...I will-"

I giggle and cut what he's gonna say. "Don't worry, Munchkin! I'll be fine."

He smiled and answered, "Okay."

Branch looked around, looking if there's someone looking at us. And there's none.

He kissed my cheek and gave me the rose. "I love you. Be safe."

I smiled and answered, "I will. And, I love you too!"

Branch went to Kaylee and I went to Creek. I can see Creek's eyes rolling after seeing me smiling at the rose Branch gave me.

"Um...ehem? Poppy?"

"Oh-uh...sorry."

"Can we go?" Creek asked.

"Oh yeah of course." I said and put my arm around his.

Third Person's POV

Everyone was full of excitement as The Stars Parade began to start. It was so vibrant and magical that made the parade even more exhilarating. Poppy and Creek rode on the queen's float that is decorated with little flowers while Branch, as we all know, has Kaylee as his partner and they rode on the blue float at the front of Poppy and Creek's

"Flowers! Glitters! Rainbow dusts!" Poppy says cheerfully as she tosses those stuff to the Trolls.

"We love you Queen Poppy!" They shouted.

Meanwhile, at Branch's float...

"AAAAAHHHHHH BRANCH!!!!"

"OH MY GAH!"

"BRANCHIE BE MY SURVIVALIST TEACHER!"

Branch just heard the fan and thought, survivalist teacher? He chuckled and continue to wave at his fans.

Then, Kaylee wrapped her arms around Branch's and layed her head on his shoulder. Branch was irritated, but then he let her do that-since he knew it was just for his career. But he knew that Poppy was on his back, watching them with annoyance.

"Hmph!" Poppy said in her mind. "Well, let's see..." She added.

Poppy actually brought eggs so she could throw some to Kaylee.

And she threw one to her.

"AHH!" Kaylee shouted and held her head.

"Oh no..." Branch was worried and wiped Kaylee's head.

Poppy was furious after seeing what Branch did. She thought that it would be a great plan. But it just made it worse.

"Ugh..." Poppy said and clenched her fists.

"Poppy?" Creek asked.

She quickly fixed herself and said, "Oh! Um, nothing."

She saw Branch looking at her and gave him a furious look.

As revenge, Poppy quickly grabbed Creek's arm and hugged it.

Branch was shocked. But then he looked back and waved to his fans.

"Oh, wait Creek." Poppy said, unraveling her arms.

She tossed those glittery stuff to the people, checked if someone is looking at her, and she tossed another egg to Kaylee.

But the problem is,

The egg was thrown to Branch's head.

"Ow!" Branch shouted, holding his head. He knew it was Poppy. So when he looked at her, he just smiled and chuckled. But Poppy's look was different. She was still angry and pretended that it was not her who threw the egg.

"Are you okay?" Kaylee said and was just going to wipe his head full of yolk.

"No-no... It's okay." Branch answered, stoping Kaylee from wiping his head. "I'll do it."

"Okay..." Kaylee sighed and continued on waving to the people.
