Chapter 1: First kiss

It was a warm afternoon in the Troll Tree, Poppy was sitting in her garden admiring the colorful flowers growing in there place. As she was watching the plants she began to sing to herself.

Now i've heard there was

a secret chord

that david played

and it pleased the lord

but you don't really care

for music do you

What Poppy didn't know was that someone was listening to her singing, It was Branch he was just passing by when he heard her singing he alway's thought she had a lovely voice.

It goes like this

the fourth the fifth

the minor fall and the major lift

the baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

Hallelujha (x4)

you say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

but if I did well really

what's It to you

there's a blaze of light

in every word

It doesn't matter

what you heard

the holy or the broken Hallelujha

Hallelujha (x4)

"She alway's hits the right notes" Branch thought to himself, to him Poppy was like a rose blooming in spring he had to let her know that.

I did my best

It wasn't much

I couldn't feel so I tried to touch

I've told the truth I didn't

come to fool you

and even though It all went wrong

I'll stand before the lord of song

with nothing on my tongue

but Hallelujah

Hallelujha (x9)

As Poppy finished her song she was startled by the sound of clapping she whipped her head around to find Branch clapping for her.

"Branch I didn't see you there" She said blushing.

Branch approached slowly to Poppy with a warm smile on his face.

"You don't need to be embarrassed Poppy" he reasured.

"Was there something you wanted Branch?" Poppy asked.

"Actually yes, can you meet me at the top of the tree tonight?" he asked blushing.

"Of course" she responed.

(Later that night)

Poppy was walking to the top of the Troll Tree because Branch wanted to talk to her, when she reached the top she saw Branch waiting for her at the edge of the tree, Poppy approached him slowly with a warm smile on her face.

"Hi Branch, what did you want to talk about?" she asked.

Branch stared into her eyes for minute before answering her question.

"Poppy, when I first saw you I thought you were the prettiest troll i've ever seen" he said sweetly.

Poppy eyes went wide.

"Branch that's so sweet" she said softly.

"Poppy I want you to close your eyes" Branch said almost a whisper.

Poppy was confused but she did as she was told, she closed her eyes.

Branch waved a hand in fron of her face to make sure she couldn't see, then he slowy raised his hand and softly cupped her cheek in his palm.

Poppy shivered a little as he did but then she sighed and blushed when he started to stroke her cheek gently with his thumb.

What happend next sent both of their hearts into overload.

Branch slowly leand forward and softly pressed his lips against hers, Poppy's eyes shot open but then fluttered closed and kissed back.

Branch soon broke the kiss and stared into her eyes.

"What I wanted to tell you Poppy is, I...I love you" he said sweetly

Poppy gasped from shock but soon smiled and happy tears ran down her cheeks.

"I...love you too Branch" she said through tears.

They both shared the sweetest smiles and they sat at the edge of the tree and talked untill the sun went down then they shared one last kiss under the stars.
