7000 words! New record! I love making the final chapter the longest chapter. Hope you all don't mind long chapters. Took me all day to write but it's here. Also, guess what, the results for the Aladdin and Princess and the Frog parody has resulted in a tie! 7 to 7. As a tie breaker, I have a question at the end of the chapter for you. Who ever answers first gets the story they want. Good luck. And for those who are worried that there won't be much Broppy moments in the Princess and the Frog parody just because Bridgett took the main roll, you couldn't be more wrong. There are plenty of Broppy moments to satisfy your hunger shipping hearts. I even got the True Colors scene in it. So don't think I'll throw Broppy out the window like that. Also I tried my best to combine all 3 versions of the ending into one. Hope it doesn't seem to weird.
Emersonian - Thank you
Jpback - If you think a lot was going on in the last chapter, wait till you read this one. nd I know Biggie seemed OOC but he's not really when you remember he's only doing what he wants best for Branch.
Reby Montana easy there, Vanessa that bad.
StarlightStinger32 - Glad to see your enjoying this so far.
TAPDANCING GIRAF - I think I got it fixed, don't worry.
On with the final chapter!
In the castle
Inside the room, late at night, Poppy was sobbing on her bed.
Poppy couldn't believe it. All that she was hoping for, all that she sacrificed to be with her one and only love, thrown aside like rotten seaweed. Poppy had lost all hope and all signs of happiness. The pain in her heart was too much for her to take. Before she cried herself to sleep, the tips of her pink colored hair was fading to a darker color. The gray color slithered it's way down her hair to the ends of her bangs. From her head to her toes, the glowing pink skin melted away to a dull gray color. The room felt darker with only the pale light of the moon enlightening the room. She had lost the deal.
Midnight
It was the middle of the night and everyone in the bergen castle was fast asleep. All except for one orange and pink troll, sitting on her bed while looking down at the polished dagger in her hands. The silver light of the moon bounced off the dagger and illuminated her face and purple eyes. She fidget with her feet and hands, just wondering all the things that can happen if she went through with this. Will Poppy ever forgive her? Her eyes wondered off out the window. The pale moon was high in the sky now. The clock read midnight. Day three has officially begun. Suki took a deep breath in before closing her eyes. She slowly placed her foot against the wooden floor causing the strike of pain to return. She cringed and moaned in pain. She didn't know how long she would be able to take this. The feeling of glass cutting through her feet was too much for her but after tonight, she will have nothing to worry about. She made her way to the door and carefully opened it. The door made a small creek startling the troll. She was afraid that some bergen or troll would hear and see her. The soft carpet beneath her feet disguised the sound of her steps. She made it to the door she was looking for and quietly opened it. There he was. The blue troll was peacefully sleeping on his bed. After closing the door, she cautiously made her way to the prince. She took out her dagger and prepared herself. She stood at the edge of the bed with the sharp knife just above Branch. She took another deep breath before raising her arms and pointed the sharp end over his heart. She could hear her heart racing and her shaking hands. This wasn't her. Never in her life would she even think of ending a life but here she was. A trembling hand that held the doom of her older sister's love. She shook all the thoughts out of her head and raised her arms higher. She clutched onto the dagger, shut her eyes tightly and as fast as she could, swung her arms and the knife straight down.
Morning
At the deck, a now gray Poppy, Suki and Cooper were watching as trolls and bergens aborted the boat for the wedding.
"Poppy?" She heard her little sister speak to her," I'm sorry about all this."
"Why are you sorry? All you wanted to do was to help her," Cooper wasn't much help here. Like her sister, Suki didn't say a word. She thought back about last night. She had a lot of mix feelings about this. She was starting to regret her decision but she she did what she thought was right.
"Excuse me," Biggie walked up to the three. Suki froze at the sight of him. She was afraid of what he might know about last night," Have either of you seen Branch. He's an hour late for his own wedding."
"No, how about you girls?" Cooper looked at the girls. Poppy shook her head no while Suki stayed silent.
"Don't be so sad sweetie," Biggie looked at Poppy. He may have a hatred towards mertrolls but he also didn't like seeing other trolls so upset that they turn gray. He was only doing what he thought was best for Branch," I know how you felt but please understand. Branch can only marry a…. royal land troll."
Poppy's ears perked up at this. She looked up at Biggie with shock. With that one sentience, Biggie told her that he knew about her. Before anyone can say anything, Biggie spoke again.
"I must really find Branch. Are you all sure neither of you have seen him. While Poppy and Cooper shook their heads no, Suki remained silent. Biggie turned his attention to her," Suki? You're awfully quiet. Do you know where Branch is?"
"I'm here!" Everyone turned their heads to the voice. Branch was running towards the ship while fixing his bowtie," I had some trouble with my suit."
"Good to see you made it Branch. I was starting to worry," Biggie was relieved to see him.
"There's nothing to worry about," Branch told him in the same emotionless tone he had yesterday night. Something felt very wrong to the trio. He was so plain. He almost seemed like he was a cardboard cutout of himself. The two trolls walked onto the ship. Before he can go any further, Biggie looked back down at the others. He couldn't hide it. He felt really bad for the pink girl. It was clear that she was in love with Branch but he couldn't allow it. He couldn't let anything bad happen to Branch like it did to his grandmother and Biggie's dad. The trolls hopped onto the ship and sailed away.
"I have to follow them," Cooper made his way to his boat," I was assigned as the guard to make sure nothing happens."
"I think I'll stay with Poppy," Suki hopped off of Cooper and walked up to her sister.
"I'll be back the moment the wedding is over. I promise!" Cooper untied the ropes and sailed away.
"If we're still here," Suki whispered to herself as she waved goodby. Poppy hugged her sister in distress and disappointment. All that Suki can do now was wrap her arms around her older sister and comfort her the best she can. She could feel her sister shaking and hear her soft sobs next to her ear. Seeing her like this was more than she can bare. She too broke into tears and hugged her even tighter.
Out at sea
"poor girls," Cooper was looking out at sea with his telescope," All this suffering for nothing. If only…."
Cooper stopped in mid sentence. He pointed his telescope at the boat ahead and looked through a window. Inside was the future bride but something seemed off. She was looking out the window with a blank stare. No happiness, no nervousness. Just emotionless.
"What is it with this girl?" Cooper zoomed closer. He was able to look long enough to see that this girl was barely even blinking," Ok this girl is giving me the creeps." Cooper sailed his boat towards the bigger one. He tied his boat to it and climbed aboard the busy boat. He made his way to the lower deck where the bride room was. He was about to speak up but another voice beat him to it.
"Soon enough, sunset will come and ocean will finally be mine to control," The male troll who brought the girl spoke. Getting curious, Cooper pushed the open and peeked inside. The male troll was getting Vanessa ready for her big day," and you will be free to go back home, but for now, you'll do my bidding for me. I mean I would do it myself but I don't think marrying the prince will work out for me."
The man looked at her sea shell around her neck and smiled at it.
"And as long as I have this, everything will go as planned," He spun the girl around to face the mirror. While the hypnotized Vanessa saw herself in the mirror, the man next to her was completely different.
"Creek!?" Cooper half shouted and half whispered. Hearing him, Creek looked back behind him but saw no one.
"Hmmm," He looked out the door to make sure no one was looking and closed it. Cooper was rushing his way up back on deck.
"I…. Have to... Warn…." Cooper was studdering all the way. He jumped into his boat and quickly sailed away," POPPY!"
Back at deck
The girls patiently waited for the sun to set on their last day.
"POPPY! SUKI! AH!" Cooper crashed his boat onto the beach.
"Cooper!?" Suki and Poppy ran down to him," What happened!?"
"I…. I was sailing…." Cooper fell out of his ship and clumsily made his way to the girls," Of course I was sailing but that's besides the point! I saw… him!"
"Who?" Suki asked in a panic.
"Him! The creep!"
"Creep? Creek?"
"Yes! He was in disguise and getting the dress ready for the wedding!"
"He was in a dress?" Suki was taken back at this.
"No, the girl was!"
"What girl?"
"The one in the dress who's marrying the prince!"
"Creek is marrying the prince?!" Suki repeated in disgust and confusion.
"NO! Can't you hear what I'm telling you women!?" Cooper pressed his face closer to hers so she can hear him clearer,"The prince… is marrying… the girl… that Creek… who is in disguise... kidnapped so he can win the deal!"
"Are you sure about this?" Suki backed up a bit.
"Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it was important!" Cooper backed away from her.
"Well if this is the case, what are we going to do?" Suki panicked. Poppy looked back into the horizon where the boat was sailed away. Just a few more hours and the sun will be set. She rushed her way towards Cooper boat and hopped on. She signaled for Cooper and Suki to hop on as well.
"We need to go now," Cooper ducked his head under Suki so she can slide down his neck and land on his back. He ran to the boat and sailed away to where the boat was.
At the wedding
A hypnotized Branch was waiting for his bride at the end of the aisle. Creek happily took Vanessa by the arm and led her to where the prince was. He was more than glad that in just a few minutes, the sun would have set and Poppy's soul would be his.
Back on sea
"Where's the boat!?" Suki asked him as she looked into the telescope.
"Just ahead," Cooper steered the boat towards the boat.
"Slow down!" Suki noticed the boat was moving rather fast.
"I would if your life and Poppy's life weren't in danger!" Cooper told her.
"Look out!" the small boat rammed into the bigger boat. The small thump caught Creeks attention for a short while. He shook it off as something not important.
"Come on, let's go go," Cooper hurried the girls.
"You try climbing fast while being stabbed by knives under your feet!" Suki scowled at him. The three made it to the back of the ship.
"Which way do we go!?" Suki asked the boy.
"Follow me!" Cooper slid Suki back on his back and led the way for the princess.
"If anyone objects to why these two should marry, please speak now or forever hold…."
"Stop everything!" Coopers shouting interrupted the priest. The three trolls came running in,"... We object to this…"
Cooper slipped and knocked over an ice statue. Everyone ran to avoid the falling ice. It knocked over other statues and pulled down decorations. People ran away screaming from the falling ice and items. As the statues fell, ice shattered everywhere making multiple trolls and bergens to fall. Bergen sized hats, scarves and bags started to fall making everything more dangerous for the tiny trolls. After for what seemed forever to everyone, the chaos died down after what seemed like everyone was down on the floor. Cooper and the princesses blinked in utter surprise at what happened before them.
"Well… i guess that's one way to crash a wedding," Coopers comment broke the silence.
"What happened?" Vanessa came from under a coat. For the first time, she sounded like an actual normal troll. She had confusion and mix emotions in her tone. She looked around the wreck," Where on earth am I?!"
Branch came out of the same coat with the same expression as Vanessa.
"What's going on?!" He noticed the mess on the boat and then what he was wearing," Why am I in a tux?"
Creek, still in disguise, came out from under a scarf. He was clearly upset that the wedding was ruined and what upset him even more was that Vanessa no longer had the sea shell around her neck.
"The shell! Where is it!?" He looked around for it. Suki was the first to see it. She jump off of Cooper and ran to it. Noticing her actions, Creek spotted the shell as well. He sprinted straight for it hoping to get it first. Unfortunate for him, Suki picked it up before him," Give it! That's mine!"
Creek tried to take it out of her hands.
"Poppy!" Suki cried out to her. She threw the seashell necklace towards her sister. Poppy gasped as she ran to the shell. She reached her hands out for it making it land into her hands.
"Poppy?" Branch got back on his feet when he noticed the girl.
Creek started to worry that Poppy might win.
"Poppy are you alright!?" Branch ran up to her worrying she was hurt. Poppy nodded yes. Glad to see she was alright, Branch pulled her to a loving embrace," Thanks goodness. I can't remember anything that happened after the competition. But I do remember you."
He looked down at her again.
"Branch, get away from that girl!" Creek yelled at him but Branch was clearly in his own world with Poppy.
"I remember every step you took in the dance?" Poppy smiled at this. The two started to lean in for a kiss. Their lips would have touched if it wasn't for a sudden pain across Poppy's body. She felt her legs go numb and fell to the floor.
"Sunset!" Creek saw that her time was up," It's too late!"
Underneath her dress was once again Poppy's pink mertroll tail.
"Oh no," Cooper and Suki gasped in horror. Creek slowly started to fade back into his original colors as he ran up to the princess. He grabbed her, took the shell away and dragged her to the edge of the boat.
" So long land lovers!" Creek dived into the ocean with Poppy.
"Poppy!" Branch ran over to the edge and watched as Creek took her away.
Under the sea Creek turned back into a mertroll and was dragging Poppy behind him. Everyone on the boat stood there in silence and surprise of what just happened.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on!?" Vanessa was even more confused than ever.
"Poor little princess, It's not you that I'm after you know. It's…."
"Creek stop!" Creek stopped swimming when Peppy pointed his trident at him. Behind him were the twins and Guy Diamond.
"Why King Peppy, What a pleasure to see you here," Creek acted casual at first.
"Give Poppy back to me!" Peppy pushed his trident closer at him.
"Never! Her soul is mine now!" Creek changed to a more demanding tone. He took out a gold contract from his hair and showed it to him," We made a deal. She signed it with her own hand. Even made the O in her name into a shape of a heart."
Out of anger, Peppy shot out a powerful blast from his triton to the contract. The blast may have pushed Creek against a rock but it sure didn't leave a single mark on the contract.
"Did I forget to mention that the deal is binding?" Creek laughed," Completely unbreakable, but hey, I've always been a troll looking for a better offer. True the princess and future queen of the sea is as valuable as sunken sea treasure but I may just let her go if I were to gain a trade for something much more valuable."
Creek took out a new contract for Peppy to sign.
"What do you want to trade?" Peppy asked him.
"Nothing much really, say your daughter's soul for your own?" Creek
Back on the surface
"Branch! Where are you going!?" Biggie yelled at his friend. Branch took Coopers boat and sailed off after Poppy.
"I nearly lost her once! I'm not losing her again!" Branch answered.
Back in the sea
"It's not me you're after, It's my power!" Peppy told him.
"What would you rather be?! The king of the sea? Or a father to his little girl?" Creek persuaded him. Peppy couldn't take the thought of losing his oldest daughter to the most dangerous mertroll in the sea. He closed his eyes as he swung his trident to sign the contract. On the spot, the contract wrapped itself around Peppy and turned him into one of the old seaweed looking creatures.
"Your majesty," Guy Diamond was in disbelief.
Poppy looked down at her father in worry. She could feel all the guilt build on her.
"Yes," Creek picked up the trident. It glowed a bright yellow indicating he had a lot of power on his hands," Finally! The ocean belongs to me!"
Feeling all the anger build up, Poppy tried to attack him but he pushed her against a rock with the trident threatening her.
"Let go! I'm not the one who put your entire family and kingdom at risk now am I!? Ow!" Creek felt a sudden pain across his arm causing him to drop both the seashell and the trident into a pit. Seeing an opportunity, Poppy swam away and dived to where the items fell. Creek looked up to see Branch quickly swimming away. He had thrown a arrow at him as a distraction so Poppy can get away. He looked down at where the pink princess went. Not wanting her to take anything, he dived down after her. He zoomed past her and took the trident while Poppy got the seashell. Even tho he had the trident, Creek seemed panicky at the fact that Poppy had the shell.
"Poppy, give me that shell," He demanded.
Poppy held the shell closer to her. She looked at him with a worried and questioning look
"It's no use to you my dear," Creek told her. Poppy noticed how Creeks tone suddenly had a hint of worry. Neither of them spoke a word because the look on his face was the only answer she needed
"Dear please listen, that shell has nothing that you want. It's only a trinket I hold so I can do a few spells and stuff," Creek tried to convince her to hand it over.
Poppy's tense body relaxed a bit. Poppy looked down at the shell for a while. If it was a small trinket then what use is it to her? She extended her hand so she can hand it over to him.
"That's a nice girl. Just hand me over the pretty little necklace and we'll both be just fine…." Creek got his hopes high up. Right when it seemed like Poppy was about to let go, She snapped her arm away and acted as if she would destroy it," No!"
Creek reached out for his shell. This confirmed that the shell was a lot more important than it seemed. Poppy gave him a, I knew it, look. Creek growled from the back of his throat. This girl was smarter than he thought. A thought then crept into his brain
"Fine then, I guess I'll just have to convince you to hand it over,"
Poppy turned her back to him to tell him she would never hand it over.
" Poor Suki. Would you really risk losing your sister?" Creek revealed what he was planning. Poppy's eyes lit up with worry. Before she knew it, Creek raced to the boat above.
Back on the boat
"Seriously! One moment I'm on my way to the singing competition and the next, Boom! I'm at a wedding?! Someone explain how this happened to me!" Vanessa was pacing around trying to piece everything together.
"I hope she's alright," Suki was watching Branch climb back to his boat. A big electrical storm was starting to hover above them.
"Poppy is a strong young lady, she'll come through," Cooper tried to make her feel better. Next to the ship, a small whirlpool was starting to form next to Branch.
"Branch! Look out!" Biggie called out to his friend. It was too late. The boat he was on started to spin out of control. And if that wasn't bad enough, the whirlpool seemed to get larger by the second.
"I think it's coming towards us!" Suki shouted. It was true, the whirlpool got big enough to suck the bigger ship in it.
"Grab on tight!" Cooper shouted. Everyone on the ship screamed in fear as they all held onto anything. They could all feel the pressure trying to pull them off the ship. As the whirlpool got bigger and stronger, the ship sank deeper into it.
In the sea
Creek was forming an underwater tornado so he can drown the other sea princess. It was not only a danger on the surface but also under the sea. The whirlpool started to suck everything near it. Poppy could feel herself getting pulled in. She held onto some seaweed with one hand and the shell with the other but the whirlpool was much too strong. The shell slipped out of her hands. Poppy watched it fly away to the other side of the whirlpool. Waiting at the other side were the twins and Guy Diamond.
"Look the shell!" Guy Diamond pointed at it.
"I got it!" Without a second thought, Chenille swam to it and caught in her hands. Being close to the whirlpool, Chenille was starting to get sucked in.
"I got you!" Guy Diamond entwined his hair with hers. With some help from Satin, they pulled Chenille to safety.
"Thanks," Chenille let out a breath of relief.
"What's the shell for?" asked Satin.
"It's the source of his dark magic. We need something to destroy it, something magic! Only magic can destroy magic!" Guy Diamond tried to think of something fast," But what?"
"The dagger!" Satin and Chenille said together.
"Of course! But how are we going to get to Suki," Guy Diamond thought. Above them, the giant ship was falling into the middle of the whirlpool. Everyone on board screamed in terror. The boat whirled deeper into the water tornado. It started to tilt from all the movement that was going on.
"Oh no this isn't good!" Suki was about to have a heart attack. If the boat tilted enough, she would fall off and splash into the ocean. She grabbed onto a pole for a better grip. The ship was fully by it's side now making everyone hang on the edge or fall. The whirlpool finally made it to the bottom and made a large opening of land in the middle. The boat tilted off the side of the water and fell onto the dry spot. The boat crashed and broke into many pieces.
"I think Suki came to us," Satin comment. Only half the boat was in one piece.
"Is everyone ok?!" Branch got up.
"Yes!" Biggie crawled out of some wood.
"It almost feels like I'm drowning," Cooper picked himself up. He can feel small drops of ocean water falling on him. It then hit him. Salty sea water was raining on them," Suki! Where are you!?"
"Here," He heard her. She was trying to cover herself with a bergen scarf but the drops of water were going threw it," The salt water burns."
She started to cough uncontrollably. The small drops felt like bullets going through her body.
"What's wrong with her?" Branch asked.
" She can't touch seawater!" Cooper got another scarf and threw it over her but the water was still wetting the scarfs.
"Or else what?" Biggie asked. Suki started to cough harder until she felt something drip from her mouth. She touched it and looked down at her hand. She was horrified to see bubbles slipping off her fingers and not just any type of bubbles.
"Seafoam!?" Suki gasped.
"Oh no, you're lookin kinda pale," Cooper pointed how her sick looking skin. Her dark pink completion was turning into a lighter colour of pink.
"We need more clothing!" Branch pulled a bergen handkerchief on her.
"I feel awful," Suki comment. She was then hit in the head with a shell. She looked at where it came from and saw Guy Diamond and the twins doing signs with their arms and hands.
"Stab the shell!" Chenille shouted as she did some hand movements.
"Use the dagger!" Satin tried to mouth the words. Suki picked up the shell and studied the way they were moving. She noticed stabbing like movements. This made her think of her dagger. She took it out of her hair and showed it to them. The three nodded yes frantically. Suki knew what to do.
Poppy tackled Creek in attempt to get the trident.
"Back off! She brought this to herself" Creek pushed her off," Now you know how your father feels!"
Creek looked down at her empty hands.
"The shell? Where's the shell!?" Creek looked around frantically. He turned his attention to the whirlpool again and saw Suki attempting to break the shell," No!"
"Come on, Break already!" Suki threw another hard hit on the shell with her dagger. With every hit, the small crack would get bigger. A flash of gold then knocked the dagger out of her hands and onto a coral reef in the dry spot," No!"
Suki ran out of her shelter and ran to the dagger.
"Suki wait!" Cooper shouted for her to come back. She didn't listen. Instead she climbed onto the reef and reached for her dagger. When she put her hand on the handle, a foot stopped her from taking it.
"I'm afraid these belong to me!" Creek turned back to a land troll. He wanted his shell and dagger back but Suki wasn't giving up so easy. She slipped the dagger out from under his foot causing him pain," Ow, why you little…"
Creek understood how Suki must feel. Having a knife hurt your foot wasn't fun. Suki tumbled down the reef. She tried to shake off all the pain but it wasn't easy. She could still feel all the shattered glass and knives beneath her feet. Combine that with all the drops of salt water stinging her skin, the pressure of so many lives in danger, you get an utter nightmare. Creek aimed the glowing trident at the princess. He wasn't going to let her ruin his plans.
"Oh no you don't!" Cooper held a part of the trident in his mouth and pulled it back away from Suki.
"Give it back you animal!" Creek pulled back on the trident.
"Hey, you can't insult my friend!" Branch climbed onto the reef along with Biggie. The three boys pulled back on the trident in attempt to take it away from him. While they did this, Suki took out her dagger and started hitting the shell again.
"No!" Creek let go the trident and slid down the reef. He grabbed the dagger and pulled it away. He kneeled down for the shell but Suki wouldn't let go it," Give me it!"
He pushed Suki down and yanked the shell away.
"I'll take that!" Biggie swiped the items from his hands. Creek jumped for his things back but Biggie threw them to where Branch was.
"Those are mine!" Creek chased after Branch. The blue troll ran for it, not wanting these items to fall into Creeks hands.
"Where's the trident?" Suki said in a weak voice.
"Right here! I got, I… whoa," Cooper was dragging the trident but dropped it when he saw Suki. The girl was losing her color. Her skin seemed to be turning gray along with her hair.
"What's wrong?" Suki shivered. She was starting to feel cold.
"Your…. Um…" Biggie couldn't find the right words.
"You look awful," Cooper admitted. Biggie nudged him for saying that," What?"
With Branch, he was getting tired of playing chase with Creek.
"Give me my things!" Creek shouted at him. Outside the whirlpool, Poppy couldn't help but watch everything unfold. Branch tripped on some shells making the items fall into the whirlpool. Poppy saw her opportunity right away. She watched where the items would fall. The two things swirled around in the chaotic mess before being launched into the ocean. Poppy swam after. Creek was about to run to her but Branch tackled him to the ground. Poppy saw the items fall into a seaweed garden. She swam in and searched for it.
"Let… Go!" Creek pushed Branch off and headed straight for the trident. He took it away from Biggie and Cooper since they were too distracted on sheltering Suki.
"Hey!" Cooper saw him and ran after him. With the trident, Creek was able to turn back to a mertroll when he hopped into the water but before he did, Cooper was able to take the trident away before he took it in with him. Back in the sea, Creek silently cursed to himself for losing the trident. He swam to where he saw Poppy was. The two searched in the seaweed. Poppy found the dagger but unfortunately for her, Creek got the shell.
"Aha! Now hand me the…" before Creek can finish his threat, he felt one of the eels slap the shell away from his hands," Hey, You're in trouble now!"
The female eel slapped the shell into Poppy's hands.
"Hurry," She told her.
Poppy was confused at first but she had no time to think.
"No! Don't!" Creek swam to her but the male eel held him back. Poppy grabbed the dagger and started hitting the shell with all her might.
Back with the land trolls
"I… Feel…. Dizzy," Suki let herself fall on the sand.
"Suki? Suki don't sleep just yet!" Cooper begged her," Hang on for a little bit more."
Her pink skin was gone and her hair was no longer the bright orange it was. She was completely gray.
"I… can't," Suki coughed out some more seafoam.
"Poppy will save you, don't worry," Biggie placed his vest over her.
"She'll save all of us," Branch told him. He was hoping that she was ok.
With Poppy
The shell was cracked and broken. Small bits started to fall off. One final hit from Poppy was all that it took to smash the shell in bits.
"What did you do!?" Creek pushed the eels away and grasped the broken pieces. Sparks of neon lights popped out and strings of lights raced everywhere. It was like multiple fireworks were going of everywhere under the sea," No! That had all my power!"
The lights swirled around Peppy and turned him back to his normal self.
The lights stretched out far enough to reach Creeks cave. The light sprinkled on top of the tortured souls and set them free. Terrified, Creek attempted to swim away but was blocked by the mertroll guards.
" I'm in trouble aren't I?" Creek already knew the answer.
"Oh big time," Smidge pointed her sword at him.
With the land trolls
Everyone noticed that the storm was starting to clear away. The dark clouds faded away and the whirlpool started to close.
"Oh boy, everyone hold your breaths!" Cooper shouted. As the water came collapsing back down, Everyone took in a deep breath. The ocean came crashing back down on them. Guy Diamond and the twins were pushed back against a rock from all the pressure. Below him, Guy Diamond found the trident. He took ahold of it and looked up at all the land trolls and bergens swimming back to the surface. With some help from the mertrolls and trident, they were able to get to the surface safely. Guy Diamond pulled Mr Dinkles back up to the surface.
"You ok?" Guy Diamond asked him.
"Mew," He answered.
"Mr Dinkles! Thank goodness you're alright!" Biggie swam up to him and took Mr Dinkles into his arms," Thank you."
"Cute little guy," Guy Diamond smiled at him.
"What happened to Suki?!" Satin and Chenille said in unison. Everyone looked around for a sign of the troll, but all there was floating around was seafoam.
"Oh no," Cooper was thinking the worst.
"She… she…" Guy Diamond couldn't bring himself to say it.
"No…" The twins sobbed as they held each other in sadness," Our sister… she's..."
"Right here!" Suki startled her little sisters from behind.
"Suki!" The twins held their hearts to prevent death of a heart attack.
"You're not seafoam!" Cooper cheered in happiness.
"You got your tail back!" Guy Diamond saw that she was a mertroll again.
"Looks like Poppy reversed the spells, Poppy!" Suki remembered about her sister. She dived back in to look for her. Down below she found her sister being surrounded by a pink string of light. The light was singing in a sweet and beautiful voice. The light slipped back into her throat giving her voice and color back.
"Poppy?" Suki swam to her.
"Suki?" Poppy spoke for the first time. The two girls felt overjoyed by this," Suki! I'm so sorry!"
Poppy hugged her little sister.
"It's ok Poppy," Suki hugged her back. Poppy looked up to see her father in front of them.
"Dad!" She tackled him in a hug," Sorry about everything! I never thought it would go this far…"
"Easy Poppy, It's all over," Peppy looked back at his guards. Without his shell, Creek was powerless. He nodded at them, giving them permission to take him away. Poppy's eyes wondered around the ocean. The eels had somehow disappeared but why and why did they help her? She has seen how mean Creek would treat them but was it enough to betray him. She then let her eyes wander above to the shore. She was clearly worried for everyone above.
On the shore
Poppy sat on a rock as she watched all her land troll friends swim back to the beach. Her eyes were mainly glued on Branch. The prince laid on the sand in exhaustion from the fight. Peppy noticed the loving way Poppy was looking at him. It's strange really. One day land trolls killed his wife and now they helped save his daughter.
"She really does love him doesn't she?" Peppy told Guy Diamond.
"She sure does, but like I always say, we should always let our kids choose their own paths," Guy Diamond quoted.
"You always say that?" Peppy smirked. Guy Diamond shrugged in embarrassment of the lie.
"Well there is only one problem left," Peppy sighed.
"And what's that?" Guy Diamond asked.
"How much I'm going to miss her," Guy Diamond's eyes widened in surprise. Peppy dipped his trident into the ocean letting a gold glow flow to his daughter. Poppy saw this and gave her father a wide smile. After her transformation, Peppy helped her swim in the water to the shore
"you belong to his world now," Peppy told her as he let her go," And remember, when you hear the howling of the ocean, the tingle of the salty sea, it is only your father who still loves you, no matter what."
"I love you too daddy," Poppy almost felt like crying.
"Poppy!" Branch came running to her but stopped when he saw Peppy," Who are you?"
"I am king Peppy, ruler of the seven seas and father of this princess," Peppy introduced himself.
"King? Then that makes her royalty," Biggie refered to Poppy.
"Is that a problem?" Branch asked.
"Well… No… just a bit shaken up at the fact that she's a mertroll," Biggie admitted.
"I heard what happened when you were a kid," Peppy looked over at Suki and smiled," I'm sorry a mertroll was cruel enough to kill your father and the queen. I use to to think the same for land trolls you know."
"Oh?" Biggie was interested in this.
"Yes, a land troll took my queen away and since that day I hated your kind,"
"so did I… uh… mertrolls I mean… i mean…"
"No need to explain, I'm sure we both now see that there is no reason to fear one another right?" Peppy asked.
"Right, please forgive me," Biggie bowed down to him.
"And forgive me," Peppy apologized.
"If I may interrupt," Branch kicked in again," I would like to ask your permission for you daughter's hand in marriage."
"Well, I'm sure Poppy can speak for herself," Peppy looked over at her. Poppy was bouncing up and down in excitement.
"Yes, yes I will!" Poppy cheered. Branch was taken back by her voice.
"You can talk," Branch took her hands into his," It was your voice wasn't? It was you all along!"
Poppy nodded yes. She couldn't wait another second. She leaned in and connected her lips with his. Behind the couple, everyone cheered in joy.
"Looks like we'll be planning a wedding!" Cooper comment.
A few days later
On a ship, everyone watched as Poppy and Branch kissed at the front of the wedding. Even the mertrolls outside the ship cheered for the newly wed couple.
"Is something wrong?" Branch noticed Poppy looked rather sad.
"I'm going to miss my world," She revealed.
"Your father thought of that," Branch smiled. He led her to the edge of the boat where her father and a now land troll Suki were.
"Suki!" Poppy ran up to her sister and gave her a hug.
"Dad thought I would do a better job at taking care of you than Guy Diamond," The girls laughed.
"Thank you daddy!" Poppy hugged him. Behind them, both Biggie and Branch watched the sight before them.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Biggie comment.
"Yes, yes it is," Branch smiled.
"Do you think my father ever watches over me like her father does?" Biggie seemed sadden all of a sudden.
"I'm sure he does, just like my grandmother watches over me,"
Above at the sails of the boat, two transparent trolls looked down at them. You could see the white sail of the ship through them.
"After 300 years, our immortal soul have been imprisoned from the gates of the kingdom in heaven," The male chubby troll comment with an ethereal tone.
"300 years? Get real Benjamin, we weren't serving Creek for 300 years," The elder female troll laughed.
"Well it sure felt like it. Dragged to the bottom of the sea and trapped to serve that creep as eels had to be the worst thing to ever happen to me," Benjamin comment.
"I will give you this. For every mertroll that failed a deal, and for every tear I shed, it felt like a day was added to our trail," the lady added in.
"Poor little mertroll, She had tried with her whole heart to be part of our world, She had suffered and endured and raised herself to the spirit-world by her good deeds," Benjamin then looked at Biggie," And my dear son had suffered so with anger and sadness."
"But now with the little mertroll in there lives," The lady looked down at Branch," May his and my grandsons life improve. I wish them nothing but the best for the future."
"Talk about the best for the future," Benjamin looked over at Suki. She was walking to the back of the boat with Cooper.
"What is this girl up to," Rosie Puff wondered. Suki leaned over at the railing of the ship. In her hands was the dagger she was suppose to use to kill Branch. She no longer regretted her choice of letting him live.
"So what are you going to do about that thing?" Cooper asked her. Suki looked back behind her where her sister was and again looked back at the ocean.
( sing )
"Now she can walk,
Now she can run,
Now she can stay all day in the sun!
Now I can see,
She's meant to be,
Part of our world!"
( end )
Suki flung it far away from her into the waves. The water turned red where it fell.
"That's how it's done," Rosie Puff was proud of the princess. They watched as the dagger dissolved in the salty water. No more things to worry about.
END
WOW! That was intense to write. Took me all day. And yes, the part with Rosie Puff and Biggie's dad is a reference to the original ending in the Hans Christian Andersen 1836 version. Where the little mermaid dies and spends 300 years of serving good deeds to gain an immortal soul. These two were stuck serving Creek for what seemed like 300 years in hopes that a mertroll would beat Creek and set them free. Any ways. Here's that question. First person to answer gets the story they want. What year, month, and day was DreamWorks Trolls released and what year, month and day was the little mermaid released? Hurry before I update the deleted scenes and sneak peeks! As always, the song is a reprise of " Part of your world " by Jodi Benson.
