"The Trees look so tiny from up here?" Poppy complimented, looking down at Misty Meadows as Creek, leaned over the edge along with her admiring the sight.
"You know, I've been wondering. why didn't you just fly Sheila to Bergentown to rescue us" Creek asked reflecting on the 4 years ago as Poppy simply pinched at forehead at what seemed so obvious. it would have spared the long walk. they could not change it right down. as they just admired the sight.
Creek saw this as his chance, he was finally alone with the Queen and had often admired her and decided he could use this opportunity to come clean with her.
"Uhh Poppy, Love I think you should you know that-What is that?" Poppy asked, her ears hearing something as Creek looked at her, saying it was nothing as she looked around. saying it wasn't Creek but something else, hearing a noise.
"It's coming from the Cotton Candy" Poppy explained, walking towards the pink substance, ripping the pink stringy substance as the source was revealed in the form of Biggie, snoring, clinging to Mr. Dinkles.
"Biggie" Both Poppy and Creek called out waking up the gentle troll as who yawned, looking up at them, apologizing for getting into their cotton candy. the scent was too intoxicating and tempting, walking up, coated in pink gunk.
"I suppose I'll leave two alon-gahh" Biggie said, looking down, realizing they were in a balloon, before asking what was happening. Creek informed him that Poppy was taking them to Volcano City to meet up with Queen Barb to help her reunite the Trolls.
"The other Trolls, from the Scrapbook, but King Peppy said- I know what he said" Poppy interrupted Biggie as she looked down, a bit ashamed of the display of rudeness.
"Oh My, Biggie I'm so sorry" Poppy apologized for the behavior as Biggie seemed not to have any hard feeling, Poppy explained that she believed her father did not know everything.
"We just found out there are other Trolls out there, imagine all the all the potential friends and good memories we can have with them. Ugghh I just want to scrapbook all those fun times and games" Poppy admitted, looking forward to meeting another Queen as Biggie looked at her.
"Poppy, what if this Queen Barb isn't what you expect, King Peppy said these Trolls are different, what if they don't like the stuff we do?" Biggie asked as Poppy dismissed the notion.
"She's a troll, how could a Troll not like Cupcakes, Glitter, singing, Dancing and Hugging" Poppy defended as it just seemed illogical to her.
"I Really Hate Glitter" Barb groaned vaccuming up the mess the Pop Queen's card made and the bigger mess she made, looking the torn furniture, replying that throwing a tantrum takes a lot of energy, rubbing her forehead, Branch helped sweep up the Mess, looking at his girlfriend.
"I Take it you don't like Poppy" Branch teased, placing the remains of the card in his pocket as the mere mention of her name made Barb's blood boil. what made her sick was how Poppy the two would just become friends like that.
"She's not getting away with this, no one insults Queen Barb and gets away with it" she mentioned as Branch asked what she was planning as Barb pulled a sheet of paper, writing something down on it. Barb whistled, signaling Debbie who flew over as Barb passed the rolled paper to her.
"Be a good girl and deliver this" Barb said as Debbie saluted, flying off as Branch looked at her.
"I want Poppy brought to me, so I can...repay her for her little gift" Barb explained, saying she was hiring some mercs to apprehend her and bring her to Volcano City.
"You're not gonna hurt her...are you?" Branch asked a bit concerned for the Pop Queen as Barb put a hand on her shoulder, comforting him, letting him know she would not lay a finger on her.
"I may chew her out though, beside I have a ticket, just for her at the concert" Barb added as this seemed to put him at ease, while he never got along with Poppy, he never wanted to see her get hurt.
Eventually Barb's letter passed around and Trolls left and right where meeting with the Rock Trolls, Branch was actually surprised at how many trolls showed up as Barb was talking to them, pitching her job.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have gathered the best mercenaries in the world for a single job and the job is fairly easy. What a minute" Barb said doing a headcount "Where are the Yodelers"
"Those idiots, they got caught yodeling up in mountains, snow fall and crush them... it was funny" explained one of the mercs, wearing all black with a white painted face and excessive piercing in his face. This was Yurik Blacktooth, the Death Metal Troll, one of the few merc who Barb actually liked but his music was too intense, even by her taste.
"Well, pass this along to them, I want you to bring me Queen Poppy of the Pop Trolls, alive. as you know, We Rock Trolls are throwing our super rad World tour to make the world Rock and those that do this will be rewarded." Barb explained
"What sort of Reward Are you suggesting" Chaz asked, cleaning his instrument, the best of the mercenaries and the one who would probably get the Queen as Branch asked what Chaz's deal was.
"I am the top of the board when it comes to Mercenaries, when my music touches your ears it's all over" He said proud of his skill" licking the flute as Barb told him to stop it.
"Basically, the Merc who brings me Poppy will get to keep preforming their music in Rock owned territories and will also receive their own territory, a nice a quaint beach island, right around here" Barb said, showing the map, pointing to a small spec as the Trolls looked at each other.
"It's a bit on the small side" The leader of Reggaeton commented as Barb said it was a bonus, the main thing was they'd still be able to perform in Rock owned territories.
"Sound to me like you're shortchanging us, your majesty" the voice of a golden glitter troll replied, he wore a red silk robe, his hair up in a knot and wearing Dark shutter glasses. Barb just looked confused at who the guy was, before looking over the mercenary files.
"Listen... Khan Ye, if you don't want the job don't take it" Barb informed as Khan Ye replied saying if she wanted His help, she better offer something more substantial. Barb replied saying she did not owe the Pop Troll anything and that she'd be happy for him to leave, his glittery skin offending her eyes.
"Oh No you did not, I Ain't no Pop Troll, Honey, I am an artiste, A Rap voice of a generation" Kahn replied, as if his excessive Jewelry didn't sell that.
"Pretty boy, shut your mouth" another Merc said as Kahn Ye muttered, sitting down as Barb went over her plans.
The Trolls seemed to agree to help them.
"I mean if it brings more Rock Music I'm down" One of the Mercs said, his feet up on a table, running a comb through his black hair, touching his Pompadour as Barb dismissed the Mercs, acknowledging it was getting way to crowded as they all took off.
When they left it was just Barb and Branch as he looked at her.
"All those mercs for one Troll, seems like overkill" Branch commented as Barb nodded. she had no idea that many would show up. having told Debbie to only hand the letter out to the big 4. she figured they may have passed it around or Debbie misinterpreted the order.
"So, who do you think is gonna succeed" Branch asked, sitting on the couch, on the spot where Jonny was lounging, brushing cookie crumbs off the cushion as Barb sat down, putting her money on either Chaz or the Yodelers. "If anyone can find Poppy, It's the Yodelers" Barb commented as they among her go to guys.
"Chaz also seemed impressive, I mean he's number 1 on the board for a reason" Branch added, looking at the Merc Files.
"Chaz's music, it can sedate those who hear it, I've only heard his flute once, it was from far way but the second his music touched my ears, I was out like a log" Barb admitted.
"I'm sure some of those guys we'll never see again" Barb admitted, mentioning that sore mercs just tended to brush off their jobs. The two sat there as Barb put her hand on Branch's who simply smiled at her.
"I know this may seem a little excessive but sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. and that omelet is all the Trolls under one group, no borders between us and we can lead them to brighter future where Trolls are all on same Vibe, no arguments, no fighting... a true Utopia" Barb comforted Branch who was still on edge, seeing what went down in Techno Reef.
"I just can't get the image of the Techno Trolls out of my head" Branch admitted as she rubbed his back.
"In the long run, they'll be fine" she replied, it wasn't common for the two to have a rare moment of intimacy, considering the two started sleeping together in the past year, they'd only gone as far of cuddling.
"Hey Queen Barb... Never mind" Carol entered seeing the two sharing a moment as she let out an aww in admiration. They two simply returned to their normal poses, asking Carol what she wanted.
"Just wanted to let you know We're almost at Symphonyville" Carol said as barb jumped off the couch, to get her gear ready, zipping out of the room as Carol looked at her cousin.
"Sorry for blocking you dude" Carol said, jiggling a lollipop in her mouth as Branch shrugged. It wasn't like it was a secret anymore.
"I Can Tell Barb really likes you, or maybe loves you, just wanted to say I'm happy for her and you Cuz" Carol added before leaving the room.
(A/N: So Barb has hired the Mercs to Bring poppy to her, I also decided to rank them and use some of the original concepts from the movie as well as creating a few of my own, as Barb said, some of them we won't see again)
