Here's chapter 12! Sorry for the delay, had lots of holidays and writer's block! But now I'm better. Thanks for your patience.

Disclaimer: I don't own trolls or the music used in the chapter.

Enjoy!

TheSnackPack - Yeah, Rhythm deserves to woo the crowd and especially to her boyfriend, DJ Sonic.

Reby Montana - Glad you like the songs and Primrose will be saved for last cause she's the best in my and Wood's book.

Black Raider -Who wouldn't want to see the show? I know I want to as well. Have fun enjoying the rest of the show!

mlpfanceline1 - Yeah. I love that scene from the movie so I couldn't resist putting it in the story. That's okay. At least, you'll be surprised. In a way. you're right about Wood. Primrose will be special, at least I hope she is.


A Blue Angel Born From Love

Chapter 12: Night of Music (Finale)


"Okay, trolls! The other singers have rested their voices and are ready to give it all they got! Are yo ready for more?" Joy stood in front of the roaring crowd who, again, responded in cheers and hollers. "Good! Now allow me to introduce to a very special yet familiar troll we know. He's sure is popular to everyone especially when it comes to music. Give a hand for our friend, Wood!"

All the trolls clapped loudly for the green troll who was becoming too shy to walk out. Wood gulped nervously. "I don't know if I can do this," He said to Primrose.

"Of course you can. You're a wonderful singer. Just imagine yourself singing just for me instead of a crowd. You'll be great," She supported him with a smile.

Wood smiled in return and they both shared a hug. After the hug, he inhaled and exhaled deeply and then walked towards the spotlight in the middle of the stage where the microphone stood. As he faced the crowd, he turned to DJ Sonic and nodded his head, indicating him to start the music. DJ did what he suggested and played the song. The music blared up for all to hear and Wood bowed his head before he began to sing.

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

He then grab the microphone and glanced at Primrose with a smile, whom was entranced by his musical lyrics. In a way, he was singing for her and she felt it in her heart, her hands where her heart laid.

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

He then began to dance to the song. His feet pacing to the beat as the crowd clapped their hands in rhythm, even King Peppy and Joy were amazed by Wood's melodic voice and clapped along as well.

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

DJ Sonic even added a barrage of lights flying around like a swarm of fireflies flying around the stage as Wood continued his next verse.

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

You are you are the love of my life (x8)

Wood then recalled all the time he shared with the one troll who inspired this song. Primrose is all that appears in his head from the time they've met under the willow tree up to today. Each moment shared with her was always magical, no matter how short it was. He hoped that after the contest, he would have the courage to take the next step in their relationship.

Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are

You are you are the love of my life (x8)

Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do

You are you are the love of my life (x10)

As the song ended, he let the mic drop and posed a finale. Everyone applauded for the wonderful performance. Nothing short of amazing from the troll who sang with the most soulful voice, filled with hope and love through it all. Primrose applauded the loudest which Wood noticed and grinned.

"Amazing! And beautiful, I must say! Ladies and Gentletrolls: Wood!" Joy presented him.

Wood took a couple of bows and he walked away towards the backstage where Primrose waited. When she saw him, she didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around his neck, locking him in a kiss which he happily return. "Wood, that was spectacular!"

"You really think so?" He asked hopefully.

"I know so. If that isn't a winning song, I don't know which is," Primrose stated. They both chuckled as they embraced each other happily.

"Thanks, Primrose. I just hope that your song will be better because if anyone should win, it's you," Wood said while caressing her cheek. "Well, I'm going to see how the others are doing. Good luck!"

"Thanks, Wood. And I'll be waiting for you after this." She said giving him a thumbs up and a wink which he returned the gesture before leaving her.

From behind her, Ivy came forward with coy smile. "Hey, Primrose. Maybe you'll want to sing a victory song for me when I win the competition."

"How do you know you're gonna win, Ivy?" Primrose wondered suspiciously.

"I think it's pretty well known that I'm one of the best singers in our generation. Everybody knows that," She stated in a matter of fact way.

"Well, who knows?" Primrose hunched her shoulders. "One of us will win. It could be Olivia, Chester, Wood would be lovely, and maybe, I might win."

"Ha! Are you kidding me? Your highest level in singing is only suited for children's birthday parties. Nothing more," Ivy scoffed. "Besides, the contestants here have families supporting them, talent, and popularity. What do you have to show for it? Nothing. You're just an orphan who's just lucky enough to be even here in the first place. So do yourself a favor and don't get your hopes up."

Primrose was about to say something, but nothing came out. All she could do was lower her head sadly.

"Now, if you don't mind, I have a contest to win," Ivy smirked as she walked ahead with Primrose watching her with a downed look.

"Now, without further ado, Ivy!" Joy presented the salmon colored troll who strolled onto the stage as trolls welcomed her. She arrived with a proud smile on her face which became wider once she caught glance of waving Thorn in the crowd with baby Creek in his arms.

"Thank you, everyone. So glad to be here tonight!" Ivy spoke loudly on the microphone. "Hit it!" She commanded DJ Sonic to start the music. The music was upbeat which made Ivy tap her feet rhythmically.

Don't need permission
Made my decision to test my limits
'Cause it's my business, God as my witness
Start what I finished
Don't need no hold up
Taking control of this kind of moment
I'm locked and loaded
Completely focused, my mind is open

All that you got, skin to skin, oh my God
Don't ya stop, boy

Ivy then walked seductively on the stage which, obviously, made some male trolls whistle loudly but Thorn was hypnotized by her beauty glimmering in the spotlight.

Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout

Nothing to prove and
I'm bulletproof and
Know what I'm doing
The way we're movin' like introducing
Us to a new thing
I wanna savor, save it for later
The taste of flavor, 'cause I'm a taker
'Cause I'm a giver, it's only nature
I live for danger

Some trolls activated the fog machine, giving extra special effects for Ivy's dancing and moves. The smoke gave her a mysterious style which impressed the audience.

All that you got, skin to skin, oh my God
Don't ya stop, boy

Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you

All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath, like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout

Primrose looked from the backstage to her rival. She admits that Ivy is a pretty good singer. She wondered how she could compete with that, not to mention that her words, though hurtful, were partly true. She sighed as she continued watching her.

Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn't
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you

All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout
All girls wanna be like that
Bad girls underneath like that
You know how I'm feeling inside
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout

Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you
Yeah, there's somethin' 'bout you boy
Yeah, there's somethin' 'bout you boy
Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you

She finished with a pose while blowing her hair back. Ivy was awarded with cheers, feeling confident and proud of her performance.

"That's Ivy for you. Singing with grace and style, everytroll!" Joy announced.

"Thank you," Ivy kindly said as she bowed. She walked towards the backstage where the other participants looked on. "It's in the bag," She bragged silently, indicating that her show has earned her the winning spot.

"And now, my fellow trolls. As usual, I save the best for last. Our final contestant is a talented troll and a personal friend of mine whom I can't wait to hear her sing," Joy chuckled. "So, let's give a warm hand of applause to our own and only, Primrose!"

Everyone applauded for Primrose to enter, but as the spotlight shone, Primrose was nowhere to be seen. Joy wondered what was taking her? She tried introducing her again. "Come on out, Primrose!" Once again, no Primrose. "Where is she?" She whispered to some trolls behind her who only hunched their shoulders.

Wood became concern and searched for his girl. After searching the whole backstage, he finally found her, hiding behind some curtains while taking rapid breaths. She now wore a beautiful sleeveless, silvery blue dress that sparkles on the collar and on the bottom. "Primrose, what's wrong?" He asked her worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"I...I can't go out there!" Primrose gasped.

"Of course you can. They're waiting for you. You have to go on." Wood said.

"I'm terrified!" She covered her face.

"I understand that any one can get a case of stage fright every now and then, but that doesn't..."

"No!" Primrose interrupted, silencing Wood. "I'm terrified that...I won't become something more after I perform. Compare to the other contestants, I have nothing. I am nothing." She sniffed as she tried to hold her tears back.

"Who would ever say a thing like that?" Wood came to her.

"Ivy."

"Oh, that explains it," he muttered. "Primrose, look at me." She shook her head like a little child. Wood then gently forced her to face him where she gazed at his sweet face. He then wiped her eyes with his thumb. "Primrose, you are a very special troll. You have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, a loving nature, friends who adore you, and a wonderful boyfriend who will stand by you no matter what and will never, ever leave your side. You have everything you need. So, don't you ever say that you are nothing because you're not. Forget about the others and sing your heart out for all to hear. And even if you don't win the contest, I assure you that you will gain a very special prize in the end."

Primrose sniffed and made a small smile at him. "You really think so?"

"Positive. I promise you that all will be fine."

Primrose chuckled. "So what is this prize I will gain?" She asked.

"That will come later on. But for now, you have to perform." They both suddenly heard the audience clapping in a chanting way as if they're calling out to her. Wood smiled and offers his hand to her. "Give me your hand, my flower." Hearing his nickname for her has given her the confidence to grab his hand and let him lead her towards the stage. "Deep breaths, Prim, and if you want to remove your fear, all you have to do is sing. When you do, then all will be okay."

Wood gently releases her hand as she appeared onstage. Every troll cheered loudly for her, especially her friend, Joy. She shyly walked towards the microphone which she nervously adjusted it to her settings. The trolls all quieted down, waiting patiently for her to perform. Primrose looked back to the other contestants and Wood.

"Sing, my love," Wood whispered, encouraging her to sing without worry.

"Okay," She told herself and took deep breaths. Once she was ready, the music started and the lights dimmed, leaving the spotlight onto her. The music played melodically, like if someone was playing a piano. Facing the crowd, she took the courage to sing.

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

All the contestants were amazed and smiled at Primrose's beautiful singing voice, except for Ivy who stood quietly as she listened.

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

The royal couple were entranced by not only Primrose's performance, but also at the magnificent lyrics of her song. Peppy couldn't help but feel that her song was a message for all the trolls to not lose their hope even if it seems hopeless. The king believed that they will survive the Bergen attacks in the future and maybe someday, someone will take the courage to save them all.

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Wood had no doubt that once again, Primrose managed to trap him in her melody. Her songs were from her heart and knew that she is the most hopeful troll he'd ever known. As he held his heart, he listened on as she vocalized like an angel. An angel he hoped to marry should she accepts his proposal. Lights flashed behind Primrose and various fireflies glimmered as they flew around the stage.

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

The crowd all swayed to the music, some even raised their glow sticks in the air while others clapped along. Primrose managed to shed a couple of happy tears as she sang with all her heart. She even glanced at Wood, the only troll she truly love with all her heart and soul.

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you

She finished with her stretched out hand to the crowd. When she opened her eyes, all she saw was the whole village in an uproar, whistling, clapping, and even cheering for the teal troll. Happily, Primrose bowed to the crowd and waved.

"What a spectacular sight for our final performance!" Joy announced.

"Primrose did really great," Shiningstar commented as he and sister clapped.

"That's my girl," Wood agreed.

Primrose left the stage and then came to Wood with a smile. "How did I do?"

"Like you, you never cease to amaze me. I'd say that the moon itself couldn't resist in shining its light onto you, making you the only star in this very night," he replied poetically. Primrose beamed at his words and blushed.

Just then, a staff troll came by and started to speak. "Okay, people! Get ready for the judging. All contestants will have to wear this heart-shaped badge as part of the judging system." He then passed the badges to each contestants and each one was in a different color: Wood's was blue, Ivy's green, yellow for Olivia's, Primrose's badge is pink, Shiningstar and Starlight were purple, Chester's red, and finally, Rhythm's was orange. "Good luck, everyone, and may the best troll win."

The contestants are lined up and walked to the stage. They stood single file behind Joy as she explained to the audience on how to pick the winner. Some of them waited excitingly for the results, others were becoming nervous. It all comes down to this moment and they know it.

"And now, the moment you all been waiting for. The moment of truth! Who will be the grand winner of our singing competition?" Joy said. "And who will decide? Well, it's none other than our very own audience!" Joy presented to the crowd. The contestants were surprised to hear this and wondered how will they decide. "All of you trolls out there have your glowsticks ready?" The crowd replied by raising their glowsticks in the air. These special glowsticks, once the troll vote the color of the winner, can send out small luminous balls of light that connect to the badges of the contestants according to the color of their badge. The one with the most lights will be the winner. "Good. Now please use your glowsticks fire off the color corresponding to the contestant who you think deserves to be the winner. Ready? And...show them beautiful colors and let them fly!"

"Ivy!" Thorn shouted as he picked the color green.

"Go, Wood!" Rosiepuff said, choosing her son's badge color.

"Let's go, Primrose!" King Peppy, Silkie, and other trolls who chose her voted on.

All the trolls in the audience, with their glowsticks in hand, voted for the colors they chose and the whole area was surrounded by hundreds of luminous orbs floating in the air like fireflies. All the lights traveled to the stage and poured themselves into the contestants' badges. Behind them was an illustration of the votes filling up in a bar. All the contestants grinned and chuckled in delight as the lights came to them. Primrose, however, stood silently and nervous. Unable to help herself, she tightly shuts her eyes, praying to herself that she'd win.

"Oh, please. Please, please, please!" She silently prayed. While waiting, she recalling the times when she sang by herself to her heart's content, when she had first met Wood due to him following her voice in the forest, and when they sang together at Shiningstar's party. She even remembered all she had endured such as Trollstice, facing her fears, and even all the loneiless when she lost her parents. Eventually, Primrose opens her eyes to see a stream of votes pouring at her as Wood and Ivy looked on surprisingly.

The votes had stopped pouring. Looking at the results in the bar illustration, Joy smiled and joyfully announced. "It has been decided, trolls! I am joyfully happy and proud to announce the winner of the singing competition and it is none other than...our very own...PRIMROSE! Congratulations, girl!"

Primrose gasped and became stunned in silence. Joy, Wood, and all their friends clapped their hands happily for her. Ivy was the only one who didn't congratulate her. In fact, she couldn't believe that she didn't win as she stood there, mouth opened and speechless.

"Way to go, Primrose! I knew you'd win!" Wood said.

Primrose turned to him, her eyes filling with happy tears. "I won. I actually won!" She joyfully grabs him in a tight hug which he returned as they twirled around together as everyone cheered on. "Thank you, Wood!"

"I believe you did this yourself. You deserved this win!"

"Still, I couldn't have done it without your love and support," She added.

"Congratulations, Primrose, on your victory. I am glad to present you the Rainbow Song Award." Joy then handed her a beautiful gold trophy decorated with rainbow colored ribbons and petals which she accepted.

"Thank you so much. It's beautiful!" Primrose beamed and waved to the crowd as they all cheered her on.

"I also would like to present these prizes to our runner up and third place winner in the competition. For our runner up, the rainbow medal is the award and it belongs to...WOOD!" Joy put on the medal onto Wood who bowed his head gratefully.

"Thank you, Joy. It's been an honor in taking place in this event!" Wood stared at the shiny medal and then joined by Primrose's side.

"And finally, Ivy, who has earned this beautiful Rainbow Ribbon as the third place prize! Congratulations!"

Ivy walked forward as Joy gave her the ribbon. She thanked Joy politely, even though she wasn't thrilled that she didn't win the top prize. Still, reaching the top three isn't a total loss. She gracefully walked next to Primrose and stood before the other trolls.

"Let's not forget all the other contestants who have entertained us tonight. Give them a hand!" Joy clapped for the trolls who had participated. They all waved to the crowd and knew that they had fun in the contest. "And that concludes our competition! So til next time and keep on singing your heart out!"

Everyone rejoiced as the contest cam to a close. Primrose and Wood glanced at each other lovingly and deep down, it will only a matter of time before he will give her a much bigger prize than the one she had won. It all depends if she will accept it...and him.


Hope you like it! Primrose had won the competition, which I believe some of you have guessed. So, what will be Wood's special gift? Well, find out...on the next chapter.
