AN: What's up everyone it's NerdAlert, this is a new story about the life of king Peppy. I will be updating this and my other two stories, I'll try alternating accordingly. Anywho on with the story, I don't own trolls or any of its characters. The OC's are mine and free to use, except Joy someone else made her up.
Chapter one: the day after trollstice
"Once upon a time, there was a tree. This particular tree was home to the happiest little creatures ever, the Trolls! The Trolls were unfortunately also captives of the Bergans, the most unhappy creatures to exist. Once a year the Bergans would gather round the troll-tree, and eat the trolls to feel the happiness that they couldn't feel. This horrid holiday was called trollstice, and the trolls dreaded it's return every year. But the trolls tried to remain positive, staying happy and colorful all year round. And this is where our story begins, the day after trollstice."
All the trolls were gathered around a large stone at the base of the tree, the stone was covered in colorful paintings and flower petals. They called it the memory stone, allowing them all to remember those whom had been taken. At the front was the peach colored troll with purple hair King Pippy, along with his son the young prince Peppy. They had lost the Queen yesterday, and they were all grieving her loss.
"Oh Sunny, you always brightened our days… now you sleep amongst the angels, may you and all those who were taken rest in peace." All the Trolls joined hands, then began to sing.

The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving just the king and his son. "Peppy, I know it's hard… but there's nothing else we can do." Peppy just stared at the painting of his mother , he smiled sadly. He turned around and hugged his dad, who gladly reciprocated.
"Now it's time for school, you don't want to keep Mrs. Rosiepuff waiting."
Peppy nodded and ran off, climbing up the branches of the tree. Pippy sighed, looking at the memory stone. "Someday my love." he then walked away, leaving the small patio in front of the stone empty. The gentle breeze swaying the grass, creating a peaceful calm of stillness.
Peppy was now in front of the teaching pod, when he spotted two young trolls who he didn't recognize. One was a small boy, and had dark maroon skin with light orange hair. The second was a taller girl, she had dark pink skin and bright red hair. He watched curiously as they played below, why weren't they in school?
"Peppy! There you are, come on inside now class is starting." Rosiepuff said, starting Peppy out of his thoughts. He looked up at her, then looked back down where the two other kids were. But they were gone, which only confused Peppy more. But he didn't want to make Rosiepuff mad, so he ran in the pod.
He sat down next to his best friend Birch, Rosiepuff's son. He was a blue troll with lime green hair, like his mother. And on Peppy's other side was Willow, she had bright yellow skin with ocean blue hair. Willow was also Peppy's friend, but Birch was always to shy to talk to her.
Peppy knew exactly why, but didn't tease his friend… much. "I'm sorry about your mom…" Birch whispered to him, Peppy smiled sadly at his friend. Just then everyone's hug time bracelets went off, and everyone group hugged with Peppy in the middle. He felt the love and comfort surrounding him, and he felt better.
After school he and Birch were walking along the branch, talking about the tallest point of the tree. "I'm just saying, if we stretch our hair to the top of the cage in the dead of night we could escape!" Peppy said confidently, Birch just shook his head. "There's no guarantee that the bars are far enough apart, besides not everyone's hair can stretch that far."
Peppy was about to counter, but a voice called out behind them. "Hey Peppy, Birch! Wait up!" Peppy smiled smugly, softly elbowing Birch. "Here comes your girlfriend." Birch wanted to say something back, but remained quiet because Willow had caught up to them.
"Hey Willow, what's up?" She fixed her hair, and walked alongside the two boys. "I found this grotto by the pond, you guys want to check it out?" Peppy thought that sounded awesome, but then got a better idea. "You know Willow, I'd love to but I have to spend some time with my dad. Sorry."
Willow shrugged, then looked at Birch. "Then maybe just the two of us could hang out? I barely ever get to talk to you Birch." Birch looked completely spooked, he was blushing and had no idea what to say. Peppy cut in, patting Birch on the back. "I think that's a great idea Willow, Birch didn't have anything to do so it works out! See you guys later."
"Okay, by Peppy! Come on Birch let's go, we're wasting daylight!" She said, grabbing Birch's hand and dragging him away. Peppy laughed a bit as his friends left, heading back towards the royal pod. But out of the corner of his eye he saw the two from earlier, standing in front of the memory stone. He stopped, and began walking closer.
As he drew near he heard a beautiful singing voice, it was soft yet spunky at the same time. He was hypnotized by the voice, and he stopped a few feet away. Staying out of sight, and just listening .
AND OH!
I'M LOSING SIGHT!
I'M LOSING TOUCH!
ALL THESE LITTLE THINGS, SEEM TO MATTER SO MUCH!
AND THEY CONFUSE YOU, THAT I MIGHT LOSE YOU!
TAKE A MOMENT REMIND YOURSELF.
TO TAKE A MOMENT AND FIND YOURSELF.
TAKE A MOMENT AND ASK YOURSELF.
IF THIS IS HOW WE FALL APART?
BUT IT'S NOT!

TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK OF JUST.
FLEXIBILITY, LOVE AND TRUST…
Peppy realized that he should leave them alone, so he quietly went back the way he came. Heading back to his home, where his dad was waiting. He and Peppy sat down for lunch, but Peppy just played with his food. Pippy took notice of this, raising an eyebrow.
"So how was school!" He asked Peppy, but Peppy decided to answer with another question. "Dad there were two troll children I've never seen before, and they don't go to school. Why is that?" Pippy nodded, looking back to his food. "You must be referring to Joy and Ark, they lost their mother and father last trollstice." Peppy believed he understood, they never got signed up for school.
"Maybe they can join my class, I'll talk to them." Pippy looked to his son in concern, but said calmly. "Careful Peppy, Joy has become very bitter. She might not be as nice as your friends, so don't be too disappointed." Peppy was still confident though, and tomorrow he was going to talk to Joy and Ark.
What's the worst that could happen?
