The Girl and the Trolls: Adventures of Marcy, Branch, Poppy, and the rest of the Trolls and Bergens
Summary: Just a few days before Branch and Poppy are to married a strange new being literally comes crashing into their lives, a human girl named Marcy. Vowing to help her get home the Trolls and Bergens allow her to stay, but can she even get home, or will she even want to leave?
SPH: Hey-o! Samantha Peace HeartStar here with my first ever Trolls fanfiction! Yay! Sadly I couldn't fit the full title, so it'll be on all the chapters. So, I do not own Trolls, or any of the characters, they belong to DreamWorks, I only own Marcy and all other OCs that will make appearances. On with the story!
Queen Poppy of the Trolls literally screamed with excitement as she entered her pod.
"Whoa! Poppy! What's wrong!? I heard you scream!" Her fiancé Branch cried using his hair to swing in.
"Oh, no! Nothing!" Poppy cried, "I'm just so excited! Can you believe it's been almost a whole year since we made peace with the Bergens!?"
Branch smiled and shook his head. After being without his true colors almost his entire life he was still getting the hang of being happy and telling the difference between screams of joy or excitement and ones of fear, trouble, or pain.
"Of course that's why you screamed." He said chuckling.
"Poppy! Are you okay!?" Bridget, a female Bergen who was Poppy and Branch's friend asked peaking in.
"I'm fine!" Poppy said.
"She's excited because we've been at peace for almost a year." Branch said.
"Well, yeah, I mean it's pretty exciting." Bridget said nodding.
"Almost as exciting as your wedding!" King Gristle Jr. Bridget's boyfriend cried peaking in as well.
Branch and Poppy smiled at each other.
"Yeah, that's something pretty exciting as well." Branch said.
"Yes it is…" Poppy agreed.
Just then she and Branch's Hug Time bracelets went off.
"Hug time!" Poppy cried hugging Branch while Bridget and King Gristle did the same.
"I thought almost a year ago you decreed that Hug Time was all the time." Branch said chuckling.
"Well, yeah, but we all still sing and dance, and everyone needs a break every now and then." Poppy said, "Plus Mandy worked really hard making these."
Branch only smiled.
"Oh! Poppy! I just remembered Satin and Chenille wanted to see you about your dress!" Bridget cried.
"Oh! Right!" Poppy cried, "I'll see you guys later!"
"Satin! Chenille!" Poppy cried popping her head into the Fashion Twins pod, "Is that my wedding gown!?"
Both twins turned and smiled as they motioned to a beautiful white gown with a large skirt and shoulder straps that had white roses on it as decorations.
"Yes!" Chenille cried.
"It is!" Satin cried.
"But that's not all!" Both twins cried.
Poppy gasped as they showed her multiple dresses from practice, to Wedding Reception, to an after, after party muumuu.
"I want to wear them all!" Poppy cried.
"And I'm sure you will." Branch said from outside.
"Branch!" Poppy cried, "Get out! You're not supposed to see me in my dress!"
"First off, I'm not even in there, secondly, my eyes are closed and covered, and lastly, I literally heard everything so I'm pretty sure you're not even in it." Branch replied.
"He's not wrong." Satin said.
Poppy smiled and laughed.
"Give me a minute and I'll be right out." She said as Satin and Chenille quickly helped her out of her muumuu.
"Okay, I'm coming out!" Poppy cried as she stepped out of the pod. "So, what's up?"
"Well, almost right after you left, me, Bridget, and King Gristle saw something fall out of the sky," Branch said, "we wanted to make sure you were okay with us going to see what it was, it looked like it didn't land too far away from Bergen town."
"Of course! I'll go with you!" Poppy cried.
"No." Branch said crossing his arms.
"No?" Poppy asked.
"Poppy, do you remember when we tried to go hiking last week?" Branch asked.
Flashback…
Poppy and Branch were walking through the forest, or in Poppy's case, skipping.
"Oh! Hey! Look at that flower!" Poppy cried rushing over.
"Poppy! Don't go near it!" Branch cried dropping his backpack.
Poppy leaned in to smell it and it suddenly towered over her and opened its mouth. Branch barely managed to use his hair to pull her out of the way in time. Branch glared at her.
"Heh, heh, oops." Poppy said as Branch picked his backpack back up.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Poppy cried as a meat eating insect flew after her while Branch face palmed.
Poppy fell over stiff after a tree spat out a paralyzing sap at her.
"Really?" Branch asked picking her up.
Poppy and Branch were walking over a log that served as a bridge over a ditch with spiked stick-like plants under it. Poppy started walking along the far edge, her arms held out for balance.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa!" Poppy cried as she slipped and fell.
"Poppy!" Branch cried rushing over.
He leaned over and saw she was fine, aside from getting a few thorns stuck in her ponytail that stuck out wildly.
Poppy and Branch sat down by a stream with a few berry bushes nearby.
"Oh! Hey, look blue berries!" Poppy cried spotting a bush that had blue colored berries.
"Poppy! Wait! Not those ones!" Branch cried as Poppy picked a berry.
Poppy ate it and broke out with blue spots all over her before swelling up into a ball shape.
"Really? Again?" she asked.
Branch sighed and went over to her.
Poppy and Branch walked back into Bergen Town and headed to the Troll Tree. Poppy was covered in mud, bruises and still had the sticks in her hair and a couple of blue spots.
"That really could have gone better." Poppy said panting.
"I told you you should learn about the different plants and creatures out there before going hiking." Branch said.
"And I should have listened… again." Poppy said, "Okay, until I learn about what's out there, don't let me go out unless it's extremely necessary."
End Flashback…
"Oh, right, I forgot about that." Poppy said rubbing the back of her neck.
"Look, we'll be fine." Branch said, "Nothing's gonna happen, we'll be back before you know it."
Poppy looked up and smiled.
"Just… be careful." She said.
Branch smirked.
"Have you met me?" he asked in a joking matter.
He and Poppy both burst out laughing.
"So," King Gristle said slowly as he and Branch exited Bergen Town to see what had fallen out of the sky, "what do you think fell?"
"Not sure," Branch said, "it didn't look like anything I'd recognize, then again, it was hard to see what it looked like."
They both heard what seemed like a groaning noise and rushed after it. Upon reaching where the sound came from they spotted an odd creature unlike anything they'd seen before. It looked like it was possibly female, and appeared to be unconscious.
"What do you think it is?" King Gristle asked.
"I'm not sure," Branch said, "I've never seen anything that resembles it."
They both slowly and carefully made their way over to it. Not long after it woke up.
"Uh, hi." Branch said.
The creature screamed and grabbed a stick before repeatedly whacking him with it.
"Ow! Will! You! Stop!?" Branch asked between hits.
"Uh-uh! As king of the Bergens I command you to stop hitting my friend!" King Gristle cried.
The creature looked up from whacking Branch giving him enough time to use his hair to rip the stick out of its hand and toss it away.
"Gah!" it screamed. It placed a hand on its head and started panting. "Okay girl, you just freaked out and had a mental break down and now you're hallucinating, that's it." She muttered.
"Uhm, no, we're pretty real." King Gristle said.
The female creature groaned and passed out.
"So, uh, I guess we should take her back until we can figure out what to do about her." King Gristle said.
Branch gave him an 'are you kidding me?' look, but didn't say anything.
"Oh! Hey! You're back!" Poppy cried and jumped up from sitting on the palace steps with Bridget who'd offered to stay behind and keep her company while she waited. "What's that?" she asked noticing the female creature.
"No idea," Branch said, "neither one of us ever saw anything like her, but she nearly beat me to death with a stick."
"We decided to bring her back until we can figure out what to do." King Gristle said.
"Just keep her away from me, and away from anything she could use as a weapon." Branch said.
"Branch," Poppy said, "give her a chance."
"She almost killed me!" Branch cried.
"Well, think about it!" Poppy said, "If you never saw anything like her, she probably never saw anything like you! And when she saw you, she probably panicked."
Branch opened his mouth to argue, but shut it as he realized she was right.
"Alright, but if she tries to kill me again I'm staying as far away from her as possible." He said.
"Sounds fair." Poppy said.
Poppy, Branch, the Snack Pack, Bridget, and King Gristle all gathered around a bed in the palace as they waited for the female creature to wake up.
"When do you think she'll wake up?" Guy Diamond asked.
"Shh!" DJ hissed.
"Do you think she'll try to eat us?" Biggie asked.
DJ face palmed.
"I think she might actually be nice, assuming she doesn't try to kill us." Cooper said.
"I think she needs major help with her hair and outfit." Satin said.
"Yeah, I mean, who wears a burgundy sweater with lime green leggings?" Chenille asked.
"And don't get me started on her hair!" Satin cried motioning to the mini side ponytail on the right side of her head.
"Will you shut up!?" DJ hissed.
"Hey, look! She's waking up!" Poppy cried.
Sure enough the female creature groggily blinked her eyes.
"Uh, where… am I?" she asked.
"You're in Bergen Town!" Cooper cried.
"Gack!" the female creature cried scurrying back. She glanced around. "Tiny people with weird hair and unnatural skin color, one made of glitter, one made of fur, a tiny pink giraffe, and two creatures that I have no clue what they are." She said her voice shaking.
"Uhm, hi!" Poppy said, "I'm Poppy, Queen of the Trolls, this is Branch" she grabbed Branch's arm and pulled him over, "I'm pretty sure you met him, this is DJ Suki," she motioned to DJ, "Cooper," she motioned to Cooper, "Biggie and his pet worm Mr. Dinkles," she motioned to Biggie, "Guy Diamond," she motioned to Guy Diamond who waved, "this is Smidge," she motioned to the female troll with a deep voice, "this is Satin and Chenille, the Fashion Twins," Poppy said motioning to them.
"Hi." Both sisters said waving.
The female creature waved back, still in shock.
"And this is Fuzzbert," Poppy introduced, "together we make up The Snack Pack!"
"I'm Bridget." Bridget said softly.
"And I'm sure you remember me, King Gristle Jr. of the Bergens." King Gristle said.
"Uh, h-hi." The female creature said.
"What's your name?" Poppy asked.
"And what exactly are you?" Branch asked.
"I-I'm M-Marcy," Marcy said, "I-I'm a human, and a girl, and sixteen years old."
"Ooh! Where are you from?" Poppy asked.
"E-Earth." Marcy said, "I-I'd really like to go back, so, uhm, could you just tell me which way to go?"
"Uhm, where's Earth?" Branch asked, "I don't think I heard of it."
"According to Branch, you fell out of the sky, do you know how?" Poppy asked.
"N-no!" Marcy cried, "I-I remember chasing after my sister, and trying to convince her not to jump, and then getting insanely worked up after she did and I just want to go home to my family!"
"Hey, hey!" Poppy cried, "We'll help you get home!"
"Yeah, I mean, it's not fair that you got separated." Bridget said.
"R-really?" Marcy asked.
"So long as you don't try to kill us." Branch said glaring.
"Deal!" Marcy cried.
"Alright!" Poppy cried, "Who's up for not stopping until Marcy can go home?"
"But, Poppy, your wedding's only five days away," Bridget said, "as much as I want to help, don't you think we should wait?"
"We can put the wedding on hold until we can figure this out." Branch said.
"No!" Marcy said, "Don't put your wedding on hold because of me! For all we know it could take years to find out how to send me home! Besides, I don't want to ruin it like I did my sister's not long ago…"
"How'd you ruin her wedding?" Poppy asked.
"Poppy!" Branch hissed, "That was pretty rude."
"No, it's fine." Marcy said, "When me and May were kids, we were almost inseparable, but eventually that relationship died, for eight years she ignored me, but, then once she met Jacob, well, everything changed, she welcomed me, my sisters, and my twin brother Herry back into her life. Today was supposed to be the best day of her life, but, then I caught Jacob kissing another girl and I publicly called him out on it, and May, she was heartbroken. She yelled at me that I ruin everything and ran up to the top of the church. I ran after her and when I got up there, she was right at the ledge, I tried to convince her not to jump, begged even, but she jumped anyway, and when she hit the ground, she was killed…"
Tears were now welling up in her eyes.
"Oh, I-I'm so sorry…" Poppy said.
Branch frowned. While he hadn't gone through the same thing, he knew how she felt.
"I know how you must feel." He said.
"Huh?" Marcy asked.
"Bergens used to eat Trolls, and when I was five, I'd been signing and I attracted one and my Grandma pushed me out of the way and ended up getting eaten." Branch explained.
Marcy wiped away a tear and looked down.
"No…" she said softly, "You only know half of what I feel. When I was four, I'd been baking with my grandma at her bakery, and she asked me to get a new bottle of oil for her. I got it and opened it and split oil everywhere, but we were pressed for time and couldn't clean it up. I knocked over a candle while helping her and I set the bakery on fire. We couldn't put it out ourselves, and the last thing that happened before my mom found me was my grandma throwing me out the door before the entire ceiling caved in and killed her."
Everyone shared heartbroken, sympathetic looks.
"I try not to think about that day, but, sometimes there's no avoiding the thought." Marcy continued, "I used to try to not think about her at all, but," she gave a small laugh, "Chee Chee, if it weren't for her being the wisest out of everyone in my family, I'd never of know that if I just remember and focus on all the good happy times with her, I don't think I'd of ever of been able to actually enjoy my life again, or have made all the friends I did back home, especially since three of them can't ever see the bad in life, and never stop being happy!" she laughed again. "I feel so bad for Blake; he has to live with two of them and shares a room with one." She frowned. "I just wish I hadn't been so harsh before I ended up here."
"You don't like that they're always happy?" Poppy asked hesitantly.
"No!" Marcy cried, "No! I love it; I wish I could be like that! Instead of, well, it's hard for me to see the positive things in every situation. May used to say it's because I have Manic Depression, it's also called bipolar syndrome, it means I can go from happy to completely sobbing with sadness in a split second, or as my brother puts it, happy to ready to kill someone just by looking at them."
Guy Diamond snorted.
"Sounds a bit like Branch." He said.
Marcy rolled her eyes while Branch shot him a glare.
"Yeah, sure, whatever." Marcy said with slight sarcasm in her voice.
"You okay?" Poppy asked.
Marcy shrugged.
"I dunno, I mean, first I ruin my sister's wedding, then she kills herself, I yelled at my best friend that she's an idiot for thinking there was a bright side to her death, then end up here." Marcy said, "I think I'm okay physically, but…" she sighed.
"Well, I'm sure your friend knew you didn't mean it!" Poppy said trying to cheer her up.
"Kerri's, well, Kerri. She's been by best friend for, I guess forever, she does know that I'd never mean that, not about her, or Vlad, or Kristy, or even my younger sister Jemma!" Marcy said, "But, I know she'd tell Blake, and that's why I'm worried, he'd do just about anything to cheer me up, or make sure I was okay, even if it put him in danger, once he finds out I'm missing, I know he won't stop until he either finds me, or dies."
"Oh…" Poppy said.
"I hope that Herry will at least have an idea of where I am," Marcy said, "we've always been able to tell where we were, even if separated, and anytime one of us was hurt, well, we'd feel it and rush over to each other, it's actually something people stopped questioning a few months ago. We'd been on our way home, and there was an accident, a car crashed into ours before we hit a tree. Herry had pushed me out of the way before we actually got hit, and got stuck in the car, the entire front bent back and pinned his left leg down. Even though I didn't have any injuries I could still feel the agonizing pain, it's how I knew he was hurt and trapped. When help finally arrived, his leg was so damaged they had to remove it and replace it with a fake one. About two weeks after that I'd been hiking while Herry decided to stay home and get used to walking again, and I fell and sprained my ankle, my left ankle and according to my sisters, he suddenly fell over and was crying out that his left ankle hurt, and when they said he no longer had one, he ran all the way to Blake, Kerri, and Vlad's house, since one, we no longer had a car, and two, even if we did, Herry couldn't drive, and not because he lost a leg, he didn't know how. According to Blake he rushed in and since there weren't any marked trails, well, no official marked trails, we had our own secret ones, but that aside, since there weren't any marked trails, Blake didn't even have a clue as where to start, but Herry, he knew exactly where I was, the closer he got, the more his 'missing ankle hurt, actually at one point Blake had to help him walk. After they found me, they got be in the car and back home so Aleu, one of my older sisters could treat my ankle, and after that, everyone jus accepted we could feel each other's pain."
"Uhm, what's a car?" King Gristle asked.
Marcy frowned.
"It's basically a machine that you use to get you from one place to another, but it's not a good idea to drive them if you're tired." Marcy said, "That's the best I can explain, well, probably not the best, but it's a short, simple explanation."
"But, how could your brother know if you don't know?" Biggie asked.
"Well, that's actually easy," Marcy said, "once in school my French class got to go to Paris France! Herry couldn't go, but the good thing about that was that since while over there if it was morning for me, it would be night for him, so when we were asleep, unless we were asleep at the same time, we were able to see everything that went on for each other! If he's asleep while I'm awake he'll have an idea of where I am and what's going on, maybe we can use that to find a way back, then again, that's a pretty huge stretch."
"What's Paris France?" King Gristle asked.
"A place where I'm from." Marcy said frowning.
"Well, I don't know if your dreams could be the answer, but I think I know someone who does!" Poppy cried, "So does Branch!"
Branch face palmed.
"Smidge, when we get back to the Troll Tree can you lift me and Branch as high as you did on my Coronation?" Poppy asked.
"You bet." Smidge said.
Branch sighed. True Cloud Guy was sort of his friend, but it drove him nuts when he decided to mess with him. His sense of humor wasn't very high and it drove him nuts when Cloud Guy pulled the 'too slow' or weird fist bump tricks, well, it drove him nuts when just about anyone pulled them, even Poppy, but he didn't mind as much with her, though to be honest, it didn't bother him as much as it used to when those tricks were pulled, probably because he'd only had his true colors for not even a year so he was still adjusting.
Poppy and Branch wobbled a bit as Smidge lifted them up, but kept their balance.
"Cloud Guy! Cloud Guy! Cloud Guy are you here!?" Poppy cried.
One of the clouds grew legs, arms, and a face and stepped onto the small platform Poppy and Branch were on.
"Poppy! Branch! Nice to see ya, so, what can I do for ya?" Cloud Guy asked.
"Well, there's this human girl Marcy who we're trying to help get home, and we were wondering if you could help? Maybe you know a way that she can get back?" Poppy said.
"And no funny stuff like you always do." Branch said crossing his arms.
"Alright, alright." Cloud Guy said putting his hands up, "I'll let you go free this time, so, you want to help that girl get home, huh?"
"Yes!" Poppy cried, "Do you know of any way we could?"
"Sadly, no." Cloud Guy said, "Now, I've seen humans before, but I've never seen one like her before."
"I'm sorry, but you lost me." Branch said.
"Well, you see, for a cloud to go from this world to hers, or even to a completely different one, all we need is a gust of wind, for the sun, it just needs for it to become dark, for the moon and stars they need for it to be really bright out, but never have a human, or any other creature been able to cross worlds." Cloud Guy explained, "Now I don't know what happened, just that something happened while she was extremely worked up that allowed her to cross over."
"So, there's no way for her to go back?" Poppy asked saddened.
"Well, none that comes to mind, but I'll look around to see if I can find one." Cloud Guy said.
"Thank you." Poppy said.
Branch nodded.
"No problem, so, I'll catch ya later!" Cloud Guy cried before returning to the sky.
Marcy had her knees pulled to her chest as she sat beneath the Troll Tree waiting for Poppy and Branch to come back down.
"We're back." Poppy said.
"Well?" Marcy asked, "What'd you find out!?"
Poppy and Branch shared a look.
"Well," Poppy said.
"As of right now, we still don't know how to get you back home." Branch said.
Marcy's face fell.
"But!" Poppy cried, "We did find out how you might have gotten here!"
"Well, part of how you got here." Branch said.
"According to Cloud Guy you have an ability that only the stars, sun, moon, and clouds have, you can travel between worlds!" Poppy cried, "When you got all worked up, somehow you activated your powers and ended up here!"
"So," Marcy said slowly, "then, if I figure out how to use them, then, I can go home!"
"Huh, never thought of that one." Poppy said.
"But we still don't know how you activated them." Branch said.
"Well, we'll have plenty of time to figure it out," Marcy said, "well, in six days that is."
The trio all laughed and Marcy smiled, feeling hopeful for the first time since she arrived.
SPH: Whew! Done! Okay, so, I know May killing herself on her Wedding Day was really sad, but this one girl in my one college class, I heard her talking about how her cousin did the same thing, and from how upset she sounded they were very close. I remember she'd said that if she ran away, or killed herself no one would care, or even look for her, and I said I would and decided to write this for her since she really likes Trolls and I wanted it to show that people do care and will try to look for her if she runs away. She is also a fanfiction writer as well though, so she might have just been talking about a plot for a story of hers, which might of explained the funny look she gave me, but that also could have been from the fact I know next to nothing about her. Anyway, getting off the sad topic, I know Branch and Poppy getting married after not even a year might seemed rushed, but I looked Branch up on the DreamWorks Wiki page and when I got to the part that said fate it read "Will soon become king, as Poppy's husband". You can go look it up if you want, but that's what it says. Anyway, what's going to happen next? How will Poppy and Branch's wedding go? Will Cloud Guy figure out how to get Marcy home? Will Marcy figure out how to use her powers? Will Herry be able to tell what's going on with Marcy even though she's in another world? Will Marcy reveal more about her past, and May's wedding? What sort of adventures will she have with The Snack Pack and Bergens? All this and more will be answered in future chapters! Well, this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now! Peace out and keep spreading the KH, HTTYD, RWBY, The Croods, and Trolls love!
