Main goal of this one-shot: To make tears run
DISCLAIMER:
I DID NOT COME UP WITH THE IDEA TROLLS NOR DO I OWN IT (just to make that clear)
It was a normal day at the troll tree. Trolls were doing as they always did, singing and dancing. All except for one particular troll. King Branch.
This day was one to dread for him. It was the day of his Grandma's death. And so, he spent the day at his old Grandma's pod beside the little memorial that he had set up for her. The memorial had an old picture of Rosiepuff, and some of her prized possessions.
Right now, he was kneeling in front of the memorial, remembering of all the times he had with his grandma.
Years ago...
"Come on Grandma!" Little Branch said excitedly to his Grandma Rosiepuff, whom was struggling to keep up with Branch
Today was Grandma's birthday. Branch had set up a little surprise behind their pod, and that was where he was leading her to right now.
"Okay! We're here! Surprise!" Branch exclaimed, pulling back a leaf to reveal a cake that he had gotten from the bakery and balloons that he had tied all over the place, "Happy Birthday Grandma!"
A wide smile appeared on his Grandma's face when she saw the hard work Branch had done for her birthday.
"Oh Thank you Branch! This means alot to me!" She smiled
"Anything for you Grandma!" Branch cheerfully replied
Branch then walked his grandma to the cake and he grabbed a match he had set on the table the cake was on. He swiped one on the box and lit the candles that were placed on the cake.
"Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Grandma!
Happy birthday to you" Branch sang in the angelic voice of his, "Make a wish!"
Grandma Rosiepuff blew out the candles as told.
"What did you wish for?" Branch asked curiously
"Well I can't tell you or else it won't come true!" Grandma teased
"Pleeease! I won't tell!" Branch grinned, looking and Rosiepuff with puppy dog eyes
"Ok then, I wished that you'd marry that Princess Poppy one day!" She smirked, ruffling Branch's hair.
"Hey!" Branch snorted, pushing away his Grandma's hand, "What are talking about!?!"
"Oh, I've seen the way you look at her," She raised an eyebrow
"I don't beleive you." Branch said stubbornly, folding his arms, "Just try the cake already! It's you're favorite!"
"Ok ok!" Rosiepuff chuckled, grabbing the spatula, two forks, and the two plates that were on the table as well.
She cut the cake and gave one piece to Branch and one to herself. She put a piece of her cake into her mouth and she let out a satisfied moan
"Chocolate, my favorite! And is that plum I taste?" She asked
"Yep! It's in the frosting!" Branch confirmed.
"Oh Thank you Branch, you're the best grandson I could ever have!" She hugged Branch, and he hugged back
"And you're the best grandma ever!" He eagerly replied, "I hope I can be with you forever and ever!"
She smiled at that.
"I love you Branch,"
"I love you Grandma!"
End of Flashback...
Branch smiled at his little memory. But then soon he burst into tears. He missed his grandma so much. It hurt to know that he wouldn't be able to see her again. He cried for seemed like forever until he heard the door open. He turned his head to see a worried Poppy standing in the doorway. Seeing his teary eyes, she walked over to Branch, and knelt down beside him, giving him a hug.
"I-I-I m-miss her s-s-so much." Branch managed to say through his tears
"I know." Poppy said sympathetically, kissing her husband on the cheek soothingly, "I know."
Poppy let Branch's tears fall as he broke into even more tears, and sobs. This went on for a while longer before Poppy started singing.
"You're alone, you're on your own, so what?
Have you gone blind?
Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?"
Branch looked up to Poppy, tears still running from his cheeks,
"Glass half empty, glass half full
Well either way you won't be going thirsty
Count your blessings not your flaws
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again
You don't get what all this is about
You're too wrapped up in your self doubt
You've got that young blood, set it free
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king
There's method in my madness
There's no logic in your sadness
You don't gain a single thing from misery"
Poppy looked to the memorial, and looked back at Branch with a smile and she wiped away a tear,
"Take it from me
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again."
She gave Branch a big hug, and he returned it, his tears finally spent.
"I love you Poppy." Branch murmured in the hug
"I love you too" She replied, giving him a kiss on the forehead.
This song is named "King", and belongs to Lauren Aquilina. I suggest to listen to it. It is a really good song!!
