Chapter 1
It was a nice day in Troll Village. Everybody was busy with a new party. Branch and Poppy were working on the decorations using the garlans cannon which Branch made especially for that. Guy Diamond was exercising his glitter surprise shoot while Smidge, Cooper, Satine and Chenille arranged the table and the cookies. Dj Suki kept everybody in a good mood with her remixes. Everything was perfect but what they didn't know was that not very far away, a few renegates trolls were working on a plan. A very evil plan to take posession of the Troll Village and dethrone queen Poppy.
" So listen up everybody.." started the orange troll named was a nice day in Troll Village. Everybody was busy with a new party. Branch and Poppy were working on the decorations using the garlans cannon wich Branch made spe ial for that. Guy Diamond was exercising his glitter surprise shoot while Smidge Cooper Satine and Chenille aranged the table and the cookies. Dj Suki kept everybody in a good mood with her remixes. Everything was perfect but what they didnt know was that not very far away a few renagates trolls were working on a plan. A very evil plan to take posession of the troll village and dethrone queen Poppy.
" So listen good everybody.." started the orange troll named Moxy " we need that remote as Trixx said. If we have that remote we control everything and everybody".
" I have an idea" the green troll named Jayden talked". What if we send someone that will become 'friend' with them and with the blue troll who have the remote?"
"Oh oh! Someone beautiful that he can fall in love with!He will be like a puppy then! Also it will be easy to find all the secrets and details about the Troll Village" said the dark purple troll named Trixx.
" Great great ideas guys. You are the best! And I think I have someone in mind" her gaze moved behind where a freakles blonde troll was reading.
"Meh, look at her, lost in her boring books, buuut maybe for once she can be useful".
Moxy and Elise were sisters with vey diffrent personalities and they never really liked echother.
"Hey Elise! Come here! We have a surprise for you" said Moxi with a wicked smile on her face.
The pale red troll lift her head from the book. She didn't wanted to go but the fierce look of her sister made her move.
" We have a mission for you!" Said Jayden very proud.
"I am not sure that I want to be in this 'conquer the world' thing.." said a little cold Elise. She had a bad feeling about this.
"Just...listen, ok when you come back from the mission you can move alone, of course, if you succeed"
" Seriously? I can finally leave by myself?" Said Elise with big eyes. She started to have a good feeling about this.
" All you have to do is to get us a remote. Simple, no?" said Moxy looked with a smile at her
"Too simple if you ask me."
" In order to bring that to us, you need to make the owner of the remote fall in love with you so you can control him easy. His name is Branch and you need to be very friendly with everybody to not make them suspect you and to find out all their secrets. You need to be best friend with a pink troll named Poppy, she is the queen" continued her big sister.
" Wait...you know that it takes time for all of this...long time.. how much time actually?...Can't someone just go and steal the remote?"
" Ăă dăă! We alredy tried that. You can't make it work unless you make that guy say all the secrets about it. That's why you have to go, plus he will never let his guard down! We need you to make things a little relaxed" answerd a little iritated Jayden.
"And still, why m.." Elise could not finish her sentence.
" They will find you more atractive and cute than us..." said Moxy without finishing.
" But obvious they have no taste" intrerupted Trixx what Moxy said.
"Like I was saying (Moxy frowned at the dark purple troll) unfortunately you are the best, also you have the imagination to make a story and get their compassion and you are the only one that has the time. We will remain here making preparations all that time"said Moxy serious.
"Wowowo what 'all that time'? How much time I need to stay there?" Asked Elise starting to have a bad feeling about this again.
"Well..you said yourself that it will take time so.. you can't come in less that two months or more than three." Moxy said the last part very quick so Elise wouldn't have time to interupt her.
Elise felt angry because she knew that she can't say no...she was just standing there looking for an answer. Two months will be an agony and what if she will get caught? What if they will hate her or even k-k-kill her?..she doesnt have a friendly personality at all so she will have to pretend. And more..she needs to make a guy fall in love with her? When she never had a date in her life? All those thoughts came in a second in her head.
" I know it will be hard but think about your new home, nice and cozy, just two months and it's yours" pretended Moxy to support her in a nice way.
"Ok..i will do it but if something bad happens..then how i will comunicate with you?" Asked Elise worried.
"Well...after two months I will send Trixx to check on you. Also, she will guid you to their village."
" Wait... we will not talk at all? For two months?" Elise felt good and scared at the same time. It will be some time for her alone and she will be left by her sis and her retarded friends...but if something goes wrong, they are the only one who can save her.
"You will be just fine" more false encouragement from her sister pretending very good that she is concerned.
"When do i have to leave?" Asked the freckles troll a little nervous.
"Hmm we wanted tomorrow b..."
"Tomorrow?" Said Elise panicking.
"Just let me finish, would you? So..we wanted tomorrow but our plan needs more work, also we need to make a lot of changes here so you can leave next week. Everything needs timed perfectly. You need to remember well on which day and hour Trixx will come, so you are ready and you dont slow us down" said the orange troll pissed.
"Ok i guess.." she said not really convinced.
" You are free for now till i have more details" said very satisfied Moxy.
'Wow..i would even get more details...I am impresed' said Elise sarcastically to herself. After she left, Moxy started to make fun of her" Did you even heard what she said? Was like 'how much time' ' tomorrow?' 'Why me?' she was like blah blah..(she starts to sing Blah Blah Blah from Armin van Buuren together with her friends)
Elise went to bed but she could not sleep at all sice then almost no night. She was visible worried and she was even eating less. But that was not a problem for her group. They were just fighting for her plate or making fun of her saing that her head is in the clouds. Her sister pretended to take her side sometimes and everybody needed to excuse. False excuses of course. Elise never showed that she knows all the mascarade and she pretended to be nice too.
'Actually, I need to pretend all the time to be nice with them...it will be easy there..i just have to continue doing what i do with my sister and her retarded friends' thought Elise positively. She already felt better. She made a list with all her stuff and she also tried to make a story in her head that will atract the compassion of the trolls. She was more or less ready for the trip, waiting for Trixx to come outside. They were celebrating inside already, she could hear them singing (Ways to Be Wicked Descendants 2). Elise could hear something like 'We got all the ways to be' and some letters 'w-i-c-k-e-d'
'I really don't like them, so full of themselfs'. But finally the troll that she waited for was there.
"Be careful and come back safe!" said Moxy.
"Ok, I will" answerd Elise.
"I was actually talking to Trixx, but yeah, you too take care, byeeee!"
They got on the worm motorcycle of her sister and they were gone. Elise could still hear Jaydan saying "That was a good one" and then both laughing.
On the road,they didnt talked too much, actually they didnt talked at all. They took only one break on the road. Trixx had to ride at night as well so they will arrive right in the morning when everybody was awake.
Chapter 2
It was a sunny day in Troll Village. Trixx and Elise were just having a fight when Poppy heard it. She checked some bushes when she finally found Elise wich was very surprised and stressed in the same time.
"Umm hello, it's everything ok there? Were you was arguing with someone?" asked Poppy confused.
"Yes yes..I mean no, I mean...evrything it's fine, i was just..umm" she started to mumble and look for something around.'Found it' thought her then she said loudly "See? I was just talking with this egg." she said with a forced smile on her face.
"Ow, ok I understand, I dont think I ever saw you before. I am Poppy" she said with a big warm smile on her face while she gave her hand to her as a gesture of friendship.
Elise was amazed by Poppy's behavior and she shaked her hand too "I am Elise, I am searching for a new home..if you can help me.." said the pale red troll hoping that she will not be caught.
"Why didn't you said so from the begining?" Poppy took Elise's hand and drag her into the village.
"Guyssss we have a new comer!" She started to sing and all the other trolls singed with her to the amazement of Elise. She never expected such a big welcome. 'Poppy didn't even questioned me, she knows only my name!' thought Elise.
"Come to meet my best friends" said Poppy draging her around.
"This is Suki the best Dj, Guy Diamond a very funny guy, then we have Satin and Chenille twin sisters and the best outfit makers. Smidge is the strongest from all of us, and you will have to meet Biggi with Mr. Dinkles and Cooper later. I will just go to bring Branch" said Poppy already running.
Elise remained there talking with Poppy's friends thinking at the last name that Poppy said.'So Branch, my target. I can't wait to meet you. Actually i have a bad feeling about this.'
Poppy arrived at Branch's bunker and started to knock hard .
"Branch, Branch are you there?" yelled Poppy.
The blue troll jumped oud with a stick in his hand
"What is it Poppy? Are we under attack?" he asked ready for battle.
"No, but Branch you have to come with me! We just have a guest! That with luck will stay here forever!" said Poppy very excited.
"Wait wait, wich guest? A troll?" asked Branch being suspicous.
"Yess! She is so beautiful and she is a traveler actually, she needs a home, she was talking with an egg when i found her in the bushes and she has SPECKLEEESSS!" talked Poppy very fast and without even breathing.
"Wowowo easy there Poppy." Branch stopped her "what you want to say is that you just found a random homeless troll IN THE BUSHES and without any question you let in the village? What if she is a spy? Or an assassin?"
"Umm..well..I asked if everything was good over there. Is that not enough?"
"Poppy!" freaked Branch out
"Just come! She is very cute" said Poppy draging Branch to the place where Elise was
"All assassins are cute"
They kept on arguing till they got to Elise. She was already having fun with the other trolls.
" Now stop it and be nice" said Poppy as a last warning
then she moved her attention to Elise "Hey, I am back. He is Branch, one of my best friends"
"Nice to meet you, I am Elise." she gave her hand. She just learned that 1 hour ago from Poppy.
"Yeah, hi there. From where did you said that you come? And how come that you are alone?" Started Branch to interrogate her without even looking at her hand
"Branch!" Said Poppy looking upset.
"I am coming from a far village.." she could not finish.
" Do you know the coordonates? And how come that you got here if it's sooo far away?" he just continued.
"Enough, Branch!" said Poppy very mad taking him by his hand. The pink furious troll dragged Branch far from Elise and she started talking
" What's wrong with you? It is so difficult for you to be more..umm NICE AND FRIENDLY with her? That's the purpose here..you know?
"That is your purpose! Mine is to protect everybody! Like, come,on you don't know anything about her yet you want to be her friend..." protested the blue troll
"Oo that reminds me of someone else that i wanted to make my friend and i did not know anything about him..olny that he was grumpy all the time." counterattacked Poppy.
"Well, at least i was there all the time..."
" All the time it's an exageration"
"We don't even know from where she comes..like we know nothing about her past!"
"And we don't want to force trolls to say things about their painful past if they are not ready yet..isn't so Branch? Poppy said with one eyebrow raised.
"Why do you keep comparing her with me? We are very different!
"Suuuure Branch, sure."she said with a funny look on her face.
"Grr..ok i will try to be less paranoiac but it's all I can promise for now."
"And more...friendly.." added Poppy.
"But Poppy..." he said with a sad face..
" Branch..."
" Fine... and more friendly" said the blue troll giving up.
"Now go there and excuse yourself!" insisted Poppy
With a very unhappy face Branch, accepted his fate. He went directly to her trying to seem happy.
"Sorry for earlier. I am just not a friendly type.. i need to go now." And he turned his back
"It's ok. I perfectly understand you.." she said making Branch stop and listen for a bit.
"I am the same" whispered to herself further, with a sad face looking down. The blue troll heard her and turned to look one more time before he really left.
Poppy tried to talked more with Elise to make her feel better. They decided that she will stay at Poppy's house until she has her own house. Elise had to promise that tomorrow she will sing a song for everybody because everyone was curoious about her voice. She got nervous about that and she decided to search for a place where she can be alone. The freckle troll was walking to the forest leaving behind the party.
Branch saw Elise going alone somewhere, she looked suspicious for him. Actually everything looked suspicious to Branch. So he thought that is better to follow her and see what she is doing.
She just went to the pond and sit near the water, she seemed very sad and she was..." crying?" Said Branch whispering " why is she cring?..maybe it's my fault..maybe i was too harsh.. i should go and talk to her or..."
" Branch, what you think you are doing here?" Poppy appeared from nowhere and scared Branch to death
" Aaa Poppy! Why did you do that?"he asked turning all white.
"I told you so many times to leave her alone. You was spying on her aren't you?" Asked Poppy with one eyebrow raised up and with her hands crossed.
" No no..i was just...umm. i saw that she is sad and i wanted to comfort her" said Branch with a grinning sweaty face
"You wanted to comfort her staying in the bushes with a binocular? I don't know how that really helps."
" Seriously she is crying over there. Look for yourself."
But Elise was not there anymore.
"Look what you did! Maybe she heard us and she got scared! Now she will think that we spying on her which YOU did Branch and she will never want to be our friend" said Poppy freaking out.
But Branch disappeared too, while Poppy was talking.
"BRAAANCHHH!" yelled Poppy.
The blue troll was running at his safe place while he heard some singing. He followed the sound and deep in the forest found Elise again. He wanted to leave just to not get caught by Poppy...but when he heard her, with such a sad voice he just stood and kept listened amazed. (Elise sings Epilogue from Cristiana)
He was so caught in her song that he started to follow her, he slipped making noise. Elise got scared
"Who is there?" Elise asked with fear in her voice
'I am so stupid..i should have left from the beginning' talked Branch to himself. 'If i don't move she will not find me. I think she is already gone.'
"Branch?" Asked Elise innocently.
"Aaaa!" Screamed Branch scared that she got him. Elise looked at him with big eyes without saying anything.
'What should I do? What should I say? She will ask what am I doing here! What am i doing here?' 1000 thougts came in Branch's head.
"Don't worry. I will not ask you why are you here. You probably followed me to see if i do something that will harm your friends."
A sad smile appeared on her face " I would like that someone will care about me so much as you care about everybody. I know you don't trust me and I will not ask you to do it". 'What am i even saying? I need to make him trust me! Why i am talking like this... i just can't lie or pretend...I am just..myself. I need to remain focuse on my plan!'
Branch remained once more amazed by that red pale troll. He didn't know for how many times she did that in one day. She was indeed cute but he needs to remain cold and don't lose his cool.
"I just wanted to say that even if i don't trust you i should't have had react like that earlier..or to follow you. This time I am sorry..honestly" he said avoiding her gaze.
Elise just smiled to him then she left. Branch continued to stay there just thinking.
She needed to find Popy's house. They were almost all the same, hanging on the tree. How was she supposed to find it.
'Wait a second' she looked beter. On a pink house was a huge placard with 'Elise here'. She found that funny but at least she knew where she needed to go. She entered in the small house very carefully.
"Eliseeee! I am so glad to see you! I thought you left!" Poppy jumpedto hug her
" I will never leave without saying something and I really like it here. Thank you for letting me staing here"
They went to bed and still talking. Poppy was such a nice troll to be betrayed like that 'ow no, i am not allowed to think like this! And from the first day too! It can't be true. She needed to stick to her plan.' Get Elise lost in her thoughts when Poppy's voice resound again in the dark
"I am sorry for Branch's behavior..he is a very good friend, after he get to know to you. It may sound weird but.."
"I know that, Poppy, you don't have to excuse him. Actually, after i left he came again to say that he is really sorry"
"No way! Branch? That blue troll?" Asked Poppy amazed
"Yep" smiled Elise
"The blue troll with a green vest and brown pants? That troll? Branch!?"
"Yes, that troll!"
They both started to laugh very loud.
After they talked about tomorrow and all the things that Poppy needs to show to her they finally fell asleep.
Poppy woke up first and even if she will never admited it, she slept horrible. She didn't know why. She was too nervous that someone new is in the same room with her. That kept her awake thinking the whole night.
Branch was awake too in his bunker. He was thinking how he will be able to explain that he spied Elise the second time in the same day and he got caught as well! Right after she was yelling at him to not do it...and after he promised to be a nice troll. What he's gonna say? All of a suddon he heard someone knocking from outside.
'Maybe it's not Poppy..like, it can be anybody, right?' Thought Branch
"Branch? It's me Poppy! Are you in there? I need to talk to you" said Poppy continuing knocking.
'Great..it's Poppy and as wasn't already bad enough..she wants to.."talk"...I know that type of "talking" '
He opened the trap very carefully preparing for the worst.
"Braaaanch!"
The first thing that she did was to hug him.
"Woo...what are you doing?" Asked Branch complitely confused
.
"Elise told me what happened yesterday."
" And you are not upset?" Said the blue troll with big eyes
" Why should I? You went to appologize the second time, I should have had believe you when you tried to tell me yesterday. I'm sorry Branch!" Said Poppy.
