Gristle paced up and down his room, sweat running down his head, his head was once neat but now it was like a rat's nest. Cooper, Biggie, Guy Diamond and Branch were watching him pacing up and down. They were all wearing black suits with rainbow roses pinned to their suits.
"Gristle, I think you should calm down…" said Biggie nervously hoping to not upset the king.
"I can't calm down! I am so nervous! I just can't do this!" Gristle yelled taking the trolls by surprise. Gristle sighed sadly and looked out his bedroom window. He saw all of the other Bergens and trolls walking towards the castle.
"I'm sorry guys, It's just… I just don't think I could marry Bridget…." Said Gristle.
Branch climbed up the curtain and used his hair to wrap around Gristle's hand to get his attention.
"Gristle, I know you're nervous but you just can't give up! Bridget loves you. She loves you for you. Everyone can love. I love Poppy more than anything. I know that you love Bridget just as much as I love Poppy. I am right here for you Gristle. We are all here for you."
Gristle smiled at Branch then turned to see the other trolls smiling at him happily too. He realised that Branch was right. He love Bridget.
"You're right Branch! Thanks for helping me. I really need to repay you." Said Gristle.
"You don't need to Gristle. You have already repay me. By being my friend. AND not eating me" Joked Branch.
Gristle chuckled and turned and walked to the mirror. He could do this. He CAN do this!
"I can do this! I CAN DO THIS!" Gristle said confidently. He can do this! After all, the ceremony only lasts for a few minutes….. Right?
