Hey, everyone! Happy Fourth of July! Did ya miss me? Of course, you did!

Since my previous story of "Branch: Troll of the Wildglades" had received the most reviews and success out of all my movie adaptation tales, I decided to try another new one. This is the my first Disney Classic trolls adaptation, based on one of our favorite films: Pocahontas!

I would to give thanks to my dear friend, Reby Montana, who suggested this and I approved it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Trolls except for OC's, but I do have the movie "Pocahontas". Don't know if that counts as owning the film.

So, without further ado, I present to you: Chapter 1!

Enjoy!

Love in the Colorful Wind

Chapter 1: Sail to the New World

There are many tales throughout the ages and most of these tales eventually become legends. Legends that speaks across every generation from the tiniest living organisms to the biggest of beings. But none of these simple tales can surpass the legend of Poppyhontas, or as many would call her Poppy for short.

What did she do in order to become this famous? Well, believe or not, this one troll who was born a princess but with a courageous heart managed to stop a war, bring two worlds together, and even found love. But if you want to learn more, let's go to the very beginning of this historic tale, where it all began with a voyage.

The tale begins long ago, in a prosperous town called Rainstone which has countless houses, buildings, and busy streets filled with people constantly waltzing around. But on one glorious sunny day, the seaport located by the open sea was heavily crowded by the whole town. The people are made up of many different species and creatures, the most common being Trolls and Bergens. Seagulls flew and cried around the docks as men and women alike all arrived in front of a great, large ship with tall masts and huge sails that will take them far to sea. The ship's made out of the strongest wood which will never age and could withstand any great force they'll encounter on the journey. This ship, the Royal Gem, is going to sail to the New World from Rainstone, carrying settlers from the Rainstone Company, in search for adventure, glory, and treasure.

In sixteen hundred seven
We sailed the open sea
For glory, God, and gold
and the Rainstone Company

For the New World is like heaven
And we'll all be rich and free
Or so we have been told by the Rainstone Company

So we have been told by the Rainstone Company

In the seaport of Rainstone, many men, both young and old, Trolls and Bergens, prepared themselves to set sail to discover new lands and people on a journey to the New World. Most of them signed up as volunteers and immediately board the ship with determined looks on their faces while their luggage is being loaded up; others took their valuable time to say their farewells to their beloved loved ones and families.

Fathers comforted their crying children, assuring them that they'll return home safely. Husbands and boyfriends kissed their wives and girlfriends goodbye and even sharing great, big hugs before they leave, promising them that they'll come back along with fame and fortune at hand. One man named Gristle Jr. bid farewell to his mother by kissing her forehead and then shook hands with his father. He was a young green Bergen with bright green hair and red eyes. He wore a red and white stripey shirt, blue pants, white socks, and yellow boots. His little siblings wrapped him in a hug as he did the same. His sister placed his blue-green cap on his head and playfully pinched her cheek while tussling his brother's hair. He smiled as he bid his loving family farewell.

"Don't worry, guys. I'll come home with riches beyond your dreams. I'll make you proud!" Gristle proclaimed.

"I know you will," His father, Gristle Sr., said without a doubt.

For glory, God and Gold and the Rainstone Company

As most of the crew members went aboard, a pair of Trolls were approaching the ship, smiling confidently. One was a naked glitter troll with pale grey-blue skin, white hair, blue eyes, and a green nose. He only carried his strapped gun on his back and a helmet and his name was Guy Diamond. When it comes to bringing fun on any quest and making dashing escapes from dangers, Guy Diamond's a legend for it. But he's not as famous as his best friend, Captain Branch Wildglade. Branch was a brave, strong, and handsome young troll gifted with teal skin, sky blue eyes, and cobalt blue hair. He wore a yellow shirt with a red sash, light brown patched up shorts, and carried a sword, helmet, and a crossbow behind his back. These two explorer trolls shared many adventures together and their names are well known all over Rainstone. Now, they're coming over to board the Royal Gem in search of a new adventure.

"Ready to hoist the cannon?" One shipmate asked.

"Aye!" The other replied.

Gristle Jr. walked onboard as two crew members, both trolls, saw the duo approaching. The first troll was called Rudy. He's a muscular, athletic troll with orange skin, gold hair, small gold hair on his chin, thick brown eyebrows, and blue eyes. He wears light blue pants with a green suspender and wristbands. Because of his strength and endurance, he is well fitted for the voyage. The second was Biggie, a tall and fat looking troll. He has short periwinkle hair, blue skin, blue eyes and a pink nose. He wears a purple waistcoat and trousers. He may not be as brave and strong as most trolls, but he was so helpful, cautious, and reliable that he joined the voyage for the sake of the others. Luckily for them, Biggie is also gifted in doing first aid procedures and knowledge about animals.

"Hey, look. Is that Branch and Guy Diamond, the Skystar duo?" Biggie asked Rudy while pointing at the famous duo.

"That's them, all right. Those brave sea dogs!" Rudy replied smiling, giving a hard pat on Biggie's back.

Gristle turned to see them and gasped. "Captain Branch Wildglade and Guy Diamond? Wow!" He said, amazed. "I've heard some amazing stories about them."

"Are you two coming to this voyage, too?" Biggie asked at the two young trolls which made Rudy laugh.

"Of course they are, you pound cake! You can't fight these Wild trolls without Branch and Guy Diamond!" Rudy replied.

Guy Diamond chuckled at their words. "Hear that, bud? We're not onboard yet and we're already the talk of the trip! People are so easily pleased."

"Comes with the territory, Guy," Branch smirked. "Let's go 'cause we have a date with destiny." As Branch and Guy jumped on the cannon that was being hoisted up, Branch smirked at the three crewmembers, "As for your last statement, you're right about that. I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun."

"We get first dibs on the action," Guy Diamond added.

"You always say we should get dibs on mostly everything," Branch chuckled.

"I have to, my friend. If not, then what's left for us to take?" Guy Diamond said. "We're the Skystar duo! You being the blue sky that spreads across the world while I am the star that will shine upon the land. Like two peas in a pod, there's nothing that will keep us apart!"

"Got that right, bud," Branch nodded, giving him a high-five, followed by a fist bump, and locking arms into a hug.

Soon enough, the royal carriage approaches with its unicorns galloping in a dashing speed until it has stopped in front of the boarding ship. Armored soldiers stood on both sides and when the carriage door opened, they all straightened their spears and saluted to the coming high-status figure. A tall and ugly Bergen with purple skin and nails, yellow eyes with red irises, pink nose, pointy ears, light blue hair, and an enormous chin, walked by the work stations. She wore a tall white hat with a blue feather, a white chef-life coat, gold earrings, black pants and maroon boots. She was known as the Governess Chef, the governess that was appointed to join and lead the crew in the voyage.

On the beaches of Rainstony
There's diamonds like debris
There's silver rivers flowin' and gold you pick right off a tree

As Chef went towards the ship, her small assistant, Bridget, came out while pulling a fancy wagon. She has light purple skin, pink eyes, and light, pale purple hair, wearing a light blue, short-sleeved dress with navy blue cuffs, girly underpants, white stockings, and pink mary jane shoes. Bridget may be small, but she's willing to serve an important figure such as Chef. In the wagon was Chef's pet alligator named Barnebis, who sat on a cushion waving smugly at the people.

With a nugget for my Winnie
And another one for me
And all the rest'll go to the Rainstone Company

Once Chef and Bridget finally got onboard the Royal Gem, it was time to set sail. Trolls and Bergens unhooked the ropes from the posts and the ship was ready to go. The settlers in the Rainstone Company stood on the edge of the ship and waved goodbye to their families and loved ones. Gristle Jr. took one look at his family and gave them a farewell tip from his hat while his family waved goodbye whether they're proud or sad of him setting off on his own.

The only people who didn't say goodbye to the crowd were the Skystar duo. Instead, they went to the deck, staring at the view before them. Both of them were looking forward to travel across the sea towards the new world that they would meet. Who knows what treasure, adventure, or danger await for them. All they know is that as long as they stick together, nothing will stop them, not even Mother Nature herself.

It's glory, God, and gold
And the Rainstone Company

Time had passed since the ship set sail and the journey was peaceful, until a huge storm appeared out of nowhere, making the ship bounce on the raging waters. The crew had never encountered a storm like this and entered in a panic phase. But knowing that every adventure has obstacles in its path and that they have the crew and ship to look after, each member jump into action to protect their cargo and transportation. Distressed cries mixed with encouraging shouts can be heard throughout the ship as each member did their duty.

"Full anchor release!"

"Come on, lads! Come on!" Rudy cried out as he, Biggie, and a couple of Bergens named Chad and Todd pulled on the ropes that secured the sails from being destroyed by the winds. Branch and Guy Diamond were on the mast helping the others tie the sails with ropes.

"Watch out!" A sea green glitter troll named Mar shouted as the crew below tried to keep the sails up so hard that they didn't notice the water crashing to them. The water scattered the men around the deck as it flooded everywhere including below.

Below the deck, a golden glitter troll with a tie and bluish black hair named Sky Toronto and another troll were trying to pump the water out before it floods the bottom deck.

"Faster! She's taking more water!" Sky exclaimed at his friend.

The storm made things extremely difficult for the traveling voyagers. The mist and wind made it hard to see anything and the waves kept on crashing to the deck.

Meanwhile, Gristle Jr. tried to tie the ropes around the cannon, but the force from the last wave made the rope snapped into two, loosening the cannon. Gristle grabbed the cannon before it could roll away, but he alone isn't enough to secure the cannon. Luckily, he knows two friends who are strong enough to handle this.

"Branch! Guy! Get down here!" Gristle called to the two trolls on the masts. That got their attention and saw the trouble the others were having below them. "The cannons are breaking loose!"

"Let's go, Guy! They need us!" Branch said as he grab a rope and quickly slid down to the ground.

"Right behind you, Branch!" Guy followed pursuit and he landed gracefully in a back flip.

"Reef the top sails!" Branch ordered on.

"Aye!" A shipmate replied.

"Steady on your course," Branch called at the crew as he and Guy dashed to Gristle Jr. and helped him with the cannon. "It's all right, Junior! We'll get her tied up."

"Say your prayers, lads!" Chad cried out as he and Todd braced themselves as the ship rocked so hard due to the waves. Just then, a mega wave came crashing down and the ship came in contact with its raging waters. The waves splashed the ship and the crewmembers ran in a panic like animals in a stampede.

Branch heard the screams and gasped. "Guys, watch out!" He yelled in alarm as the waves splashed him, Guy Diamond, and quickly held on to the rope while Guy held onto Branch, but poor Gristle was swept away by the water, broke through the wooden edge, and fell out of the ship, loosing the cannon in the progress.

"Help!" Gristle Jr. screamed, falling into the water.

"Man overboard!" Mar shouted after spotting the young Bergen in the raging water.

"Help!" Gristle screamed as he tried to swim, but the strong waves made it difficult to stay in the surface. The others watched in horror as the ship drifted farther away from the Bergen.

"Stay your course! He's lost!" Rudy exclaimed hopeless, knowing that it's impossible to save him in this storm.

"No! We leave no troll or Bergen behind!" Branch declared as he tied a rope around his waist. Guy Diamond agreed with his friend and knowing that two trolls are better than one, he decided to help him. "Pull the pin!"

"Aye, sir!" Tod nodded as he released the pin from the sail which will loosen the rope, giving more distance for the duo. Branch and Guy Diamond soon began to run and jumped out of the ship despite Rudy's frantic calls. "Branch! Guy!"

Both trolls dived into the water. Rudy and the others saw this in shock. "Are you two insane?!" Rudy glared.

"Knowing these two, I bet they are!" Biggie admitted. "But like it or not, it's the only chance we have to save Gristle!"

Branch and Guy Diamond swam on the surface and arrived just in time to save Gristle from drowning. The Bergen barely held on as he struggled to stay out of the water. "Hang on, Gristle! We've got you!" Branch assured as Gristle coughed.

"I got his left arm! You grab the other!" Guy Diamond said, hoisting one arm over his shoulders as Branch did the same with the other. "We got him! Pull the rope!"

On board, however, the pulley holding the rope suddenly broke off from Branch's pull. Luckily, Biggie saw this when it snapped. "Quick! The rope!" Rudy, Biggie, Chad, and Todd grabbed the rope before it could slip away and started to pull their friends. "Heave!" The water splashed the three men down underwater, but Branch didn't give up. He was still holding the rope. He had to for there are lives at stake besides his own.

"Come on, lads! Pull!" Rudy yelled as he and the others pulled the rope. Branch, Gristle, and Guy Diamond soon broke the surface, gasping for air. They were getting closer to the ship. "Pull, pull! Put your backs on it!" Rudy chanted on, determined to help his friends. Eventually, all members gave it all they had and before they knew it, the three guys were lifted out of the water and back into the ship. Rudy and the others pulled them inside as they recovered themselves from the daring rescue.

And to make things better, the storm seems to be lifting as the rain disappeared and the waters began to calm down to everyone's relief.

"There, my lucky Bergen boy," Biggie said and placed a dry blanket onto Gristle as he coughed.

"Well, that was refreshing," Branch grinned while drying Gristle's hat before putting it back on his head.

"Whoo! Yeah! That was totally glittertastic!" Guy Diamond exclaimed happily, feeling the intense rush in him. "Let's do that again!"

"How about 'never' again?" Gristle exhaled with a groan.

"Well done, you two!" Biggie smiled, giving them pats on their backs. "You were crazy, but amazing!"

"It was nothing. We're happy to help anyone in need," Guy Diamond stated.

"Of course, you'd all do the same for us," Branch replied as he got up.

The crew hesitated at first since they were not that crazy enough to jump into danger to save one of their own, but immediately answered in agreement. "Oh, sure, sure. Of course we would. Absolutely!"

Lightning flashed as Chef appeared before them with Barnebis besides her. Bridget was holding an umbrella for Chef to prevent her from getting wet from the rain while holding a lantern with her free hand.

"Trouble on deck?" Chef asked, barely showing emotion as she spoke.

"Governess Chef," Gristle gasped as he quickly got up.

"Gristle fell overboard, sir," Branch replied to Chef's question.

"Thank heavens he's been successfully retrieved. Well done, you two," Chef nodded.

"Thank you, ma'am," Branch and Guy simultaneously responded.

Chef soon turned to the crew as she calmly walked down to the deck and made her announcement while everyone listened on. "Don't lose heart, men! It won't be long before we reach the New World. And remember what awaits us there. Freedom!" Barnebis growled in agreement. "Prosperity...!" Barnebis growled again, twice this time. "The adventure of our lives. Now, I don't say this to just anyone, but you're the finest crew Rainstone has to offer, and nothing, not wind nor rain nor a thousand bloodthirsty savages shall stand in our way! Carry on, men!" Chef walked away as the crew cheered for their leader.

Bridget followed her as she held her umbrella above Chef's head, "A stirring oration, my lady! I'm sure the men were most exhilarated!" She smiled before the wind pulled the umbrella away. Luckily, she grasp it before it could fly off and held it over Chef's head again.

"Let us hope so, my maid. I'll need those young witless peasants to dig up my treasure: the Rainbow Stones. Now, won't I?" Chef smirked at Barnebis, who smirked back, showing his toothy grin.

Once Chef was gone, the crew began to do their work once more. Branch and Guy Diamond helped Gristle in tying more ropes around the cannon.

"We're lucky to have such an important figure for our voyage with such great speeches, aren't we, Branch?" Guy Diamond said to Branch.

"Maybe, however, I'd prefer someone who's not so...so...what's the word again?" Branch stroke his chin.

"Ugly and scary beyond all reason?" Guy finished with a grin.

"Yep!" Branch laughed, giving him a high five. "If any savage sees her face, they'll just set themselves on fire in order to burn that memory from their faces!"

"Yeah! Still, I'm just glad we're on this trip. Wonder what we'll face there?"

"Who knows? I hope it's better than the previous ones we went to," Branch replied.

"This New World's gonna be great, guys!" Gristle said excitingly. "I'm gonna get a pile of gold, jewels, and treasures, build me a big house..." as he talked, Branch shook his head chuckling. "And if any Wild troll tries to stop me, I'll blast him."

"I like to see you try using a gun out there. You'll probably blast one of us before you get the chance to blast any of those wildlings!" Guy Diamond joked around.

"You just worry about that fortune of yours, Gristle," Branch said as he pulled the wagon. "Leave the savages to experts. Like me and Guy."

"You think they'll give us much trouble?" Biggie asked.

"Not as much trouble as the Skystar duo will give them," Rudy smirked as Biggie laughed.

Soon enough, for the fun of it, Rudy grabs a mop and puts a feather on top on it. He hid behind a barrel while raising the mop with the feather, pretending to be one of those said Wild Trolls they'll probably encounter. They even sang along as they have their fun.

[Crew:]

We'll kill ourselves a Wild Troll

Branch got his sword out and slashes the mop in one clean sweep and then stabbed a hole on a barrel of berry juice.

[Branch:]

Or maybe two or three

The crew took out their cups and filled it up with the pouring soda.

[Crew:]

We're stalwart men and bold of the Rainstone Company

As the rest of the men had a good time, Branch and Guy Diamond climbed up to the crow's nest to see the view from up there. Gristle followed behind them as he asked them some questions.

"What do you suppose the New World will look like?" Gristle asked Branch.

"Like all the others, I suppose," Branch answered thoughtfully. "We've seen hundreds of new worlds, Gristle. You see one world, you've seen them all."

"They all have many things in common. Danger, adventure, treasure... the works. And each new adventure, we asked ourselves the same thing: Will we find something new or something more precious than what we already have?" Guy Diamond explained.

"Right now, nothing will surprise us. I mean, what could possibly be different about this one?"

[Crew:]

It's glory, God, and gold and the Rainstone Company

As they continued on their journey, neither Branch or Guy Diamond know that their lives would forever change when they find the New World...as well as a couple of very colorful people.

Hope you like it! May your 4th of July be wonderful and fun!
