Here's chapter 13! And now, the chapter you've all been waiting for, so keep your tissues near in case for falling tears of joy.
Disclaimer: I don't own trolls or the song in this chapter.
Enjoy!
Magicwolf12 - You're right of the reference. I thought it matched the occasion.
Purple-Eyes - It's true. The reference came from that 'cause I believed it was perfect for the contest. Yeah, the prize would be memorable.
Reby Montana - Primrose deserves to win, obviously! And yes to all of your guesses! But we'll take it one step at a time.
Black Raider - Ivy is like that to Primrose as like Thorn is to Wood. They sometimes just let their jealously and rivalry take control over themselves.
mlpfanceline1 - I apologize for the wait, but know that your patience will be rewarded right here. Yeah, who wouldn't want them to win the contest, right? Well, his son does take after his father in personality. The song was a suggestion by a friend which I agreed.
A Blue Angel Born From Love
Chapter 13: A Love That's Meant to be
After the contest, everyone went home to either go to sleep early or celebrate their fun with their families, like the contestants. However, there were two trolls that aren't going to do those things. Wood and Primrose walked side by side from the stage and through the village as the moon illuminated in the night sky.
"I'm glad you won first place, Primrose. You were truly amazing out there," Wood commented.
"Thanks, Wood. But you were great too. You may have won second place, but you're first place in my eyes," Primrose beamed.
"And even though you won the competition tonight, you'll always be a winner every day to me, my flower."
Primrose chuckled as she took his hand and gently held it as they walked. "So, Wood, what were you gonna say to me now that the contest is over? You've promised to tell me whether we win or lose, remember?"
Wood truly hadn't forgotten his promise, but he was still nervous. His free hand currently touching the gift for her inside his pocket. "I remember, but let's talk under our tree. After all, it is our favorite place."
"Yes, it is and always will be. Alright, lead the way," Primrose nodded. Wood happily did that as they left the village and into the forest.
It was a peaceful night inside the forest with critters chirping their musical cries and fireflies flying around like a colorful shower of lights. The night was clear, not a cloud in the sky, the moon shining brightly, and an ocean of stars twinkling above. It was the perfect night to be outside in the dark.
Following the fireflies in their direction, the trolls pushed some leaves and branches blocking their path until they were out of the woods. On the horizon, their sacred willow tree stood ever so gracefully and majestic on its hill.
Holding hands, they walked up the hill, enjoying each other's company with smiles on their faces. Once they reached the top, they gently sat down, gazing at the moon. Wood picked up a blue flower and puts it on Primrose's hair.
"For the ever so lovely troll whose beauty can outshine any flower in the whole meadow," Wood poetically said.
"Oh, you're so charming. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're a prince," Primrose chuckled.
"Well, I must be a lucky one in order to deserve a princess such as you."
They both laughed and they shared a small kiss. Once they broke the kiss, Primrose rested her head on his shoulder while Wood had his arm around her shoulder and both trolls gazed at the stars together. The night was warm and not a chill was found. Wood inhaled deeply and exhaled and slightly turn to stare at Primrose's face. Oh, how her beautiful teal skin glimmers under the full moon like a beacon of hope. And her pink hair, ever so soft and flows gently each time she turns her head. He didn't noticed how his cheeks were becoming darker the more he thinks about her. Even his heart beats rapidly, knowing that in a moment, he'll have to pop the big question.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Primrose asked. Wood shook his head after returning to reality from his train of thought. He didn't know what he was suppose to say considering that he wasn't paying attention. "The night, I mean."
"Oh! Yes, yes." He cleared his throat. "It is. The nights can be quite romantic in the springtime. Especially under a romantic setting such as ours."
"You seem quite distracted tonight, Wood. Is something the mater?" Primrose asked.
"No, of course not," he assured. "However...there are so many things that I wish to tell you."
"I'm listening," she smiled softly.
"Well, for one thing..." he sighed and gaze upon her. "You, Primrose, are the rose that will never wither even in the coldest weather. You will forever bloom and your beauty will be recognized by all living things."
Primrose blushed deeply as he continued while taking hold of her hands lovingly.
"Your sky blue eyes... they are my whole world. The blue sunset that fade every time you sleep and the blue sunrise for every time you awake. And your smile, a rainbow itself turns jealous and refuses to show its colors, knowing that it can never be as majestic and wonderful as yours."
"Oh, Wood, you really mean that?" Primrose held her heart, feeling it about to burst. Her cheeks madly blushing from his poetic words.
"Always have and always will," Wood smiled. "You think you can answer this question: where would I be if I never knew you?"
Primrose gaze into his green eyes hoping to search for an answer, but even she couldn't find one. "I don't know, Wood, but I know this: this is something that was meant to be and I can't think of anyone else that I rather spend my time with. You are the one for me, Wood," She embraced him which he returned. "You saved me from loneliness. I wish I could do something for you in return."
Hearing that gave Wood hope. Maybe, just maybe, this might be the only chance for him to propose, but he had to be sure. The whole area seems to be getting in position for Wood's moment. The critters humming and chirping in tune as if they were singing. The fireflies dancing along, illuminating the area with their tail glows.
Wood broke the hug and caressed her cheek before breaking into a song.
[Wood:]
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
He then gave her another hug, enjoying her presence.
And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.
He lets go of her. They recalled all the hardships they endured such as the recent Trollstice and Bergen attacks, the losses they suffered, and harsh words and insult from other trolls.
In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes
Remembering them made Primrose sad, almost on the verge of tears. Wood wiped them away with his thumb which she smiled.
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
Primrose's hand left Wood's as she walked away, gazing at the willow tree as she thought of what would have been her life if she never encountered Wood almost a year ago. Their meeting was no coincidence and she knows it.
[Primrose:]
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true
She was thankful for all the times they've shared together and how their love had bloom everyday. Truly, they are perfect for each other. She held her chest where her heart beats rhythmically. Love is all she felt for him.
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
Wood then came and wrapped his arms around her neck area and she held his arms. Just hearing her sing is enough to make him melt, but hearing her say her true feelings about him were just the words he needed to hear to keep going.
[Wood:]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
[Primrose:]
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
Then Wood released her and gently took her hands as they serenaded together. As they danced, their colors shone brightly, showing their love and happiness they have for each other. Green and Teal were the only colors that can be seen from afar dancing under the tree.
[Both:]
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
Primrose then lets go and then using her hair, she climbs onto a higher branch. Wood followed in pursuit as they sang together in harmonic verses. They enjoyed singing and waltzing across the branches through their love song.
[Primrose:]
Oh if I never knew you
[Wood:]
There's no moment I regret
[Primrose:]
If I never felt this love
[Wood:]
Since the moment that we met
[Primrose:]
I would have no inkling of
[Wood:]
If our time has gone too fast
[Primrose:]
How precious life can be...
[Wood:]
I've lived at last...
Yeah, yeah
Primrose then climbed onto a higher branch and walked across it with balance in her steps as Wood watched her from below. For a few seconds, they would turn away to see the scenery and later, return their gazes at each other with smiling on their faces.
[Both:]
I thought our love would be so beautiful (So beautiful)
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
[Primrose:]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
[Both:]
And still my heart is saying we were right
Nearing the end of their path, Wood stretched his arms forward. Primrose saw his action and judging from his face, he was telling her to come to him and he'll catch her. Feeling complete trust in him, she jumped right down into his arms and twirled her around happily.
[Wood:]
We were right
And if I never knew you
[Primrose:]
If I never knew you
[Wood:]
I'd have lived my whole life through
[Primrose:]
Empty as the sky
Wood gently dips her after twirling and they locked eyes. Their eyes twinkled like the stars above and both trolls were entranced as if they were under a spell. These two knew that they will forever be empty without their love to fuel them and felt that whenever they would look at their reflections, all they would see is half of themselves, barren of the other half. They complete each other.
[Both:]
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
Once they stopped singing, they came a little closer to each other, not breaking their gazes for a second. Then without hesitation, Wood put his hands on Primrose's face and they leaned in to kiss. As they kissed, shooting stars streamed across the sky and their colors shone even brighter than before.
After what seemed like an eternity in heaven, they parted from one another. Primrose smiled in content and Wood mirrored her smile. "Wood, you certainly are filled with surprises," Primrose said playfully.
"I can't help it, my love. You sure have a magnetic beauty that I just can't seem to escape every time it pulls me towards you. But then again, why would I resist you?" He replied. Primrose came closer and wrapped her arms around his waist in a hug while Wood hugged her shoulders.
This was the time now, more than ever, for Wood to ask that heart burning question. "Primrose," he began, "you've said that you wished to do something for me. Well, there is one thing that I would ask of you and I can't think of a better time than when we're alone together under our willow tree."
"Yes?" Primrose wondered.
"Okay," he gulped nervously and exhaled. "Primrose, whenever I'd close my eyes, all I see is the day we've met. Just one moment and I knew that you're the one for me. You filled my heart with the love we shared and it grows more and more each day. What I'm trying to say is that... I love you, Primrose, with all my heart and soul and not a day goes by where I don't think about you. All I want is for us to share everything together, endure the pain, and experience wonderful things together. There's only one thing I want in my life...and that is you."
Suddenly, Wood took out the box from his pocket and then kneel down on one knee. All Primrose could do is gasp in surprise. Wood opened the box to her, revealing the heart shaped golden locket he intended to give to her days ago. And now all he needed to do is to ask.
"Primrose, my one and only true love and the angel of my heart, will you do me the honor...of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?"
Primrose was speechless though her heart was filled with happiness and her eyes were shedding tears of joys. And when she saw the wonderful gift, it made her feel lighter than air. She finally have the courage to speak. "Oh, Wood, this is the most lovely present from the most wonderful troll I've ever met. I know that I can't live without you and I am willing to live the rest of my days by your side no matter what" She cried happily, and after she wiped her tears, she nodded. "Yes, I will."
"You mean-"
"Yes. Yes! YES! I will marry you!" Primrose happily cried.
Wood joyfully laughed with her as he then gave her the locket, placing it around her neck. "You look beautiful, Primrose. I love you and I will forever, every single day of forever."
"I'm counting on it, starting now. And I love you too. Forever and Always."
And they then embraced themselves, locking each other in a deep kiss which marks the beginning of their new engaged life. They'll be waiting for the day they are wed and just like the night of their first kiss, this night has indeed ended perfectly.
Truth be told that it is plain as anyone can see that these two trolls, united by their love and bounded by their future together, are truly simply meant to be.
Hope you like it! I'm hearing wedding bells already. Soon, the wedding will be on our door!
