Here's a story I came up with based on a dream I had. It's a short story about my favorite group of trolls: the Snack Pack. It's mostly going to be about Cooper, though. Nikita belongs to me.

It was a quiet day in Troll Village and everyone was enjoying their day. The trolls were playing and laughing around. The sun was shining brightly in the sky and the flowers were blooming. Nikita was visiting the village to hang out with her friends Princess Poppy and the Snack Pack.

"What a beautiful day. I can't wait to see what Poppy and the others are up to today." She said as she walked towards Poppy's pod.

Inside the pod, Poppy was busy making a few scrapbooks when Nikita came in.

"Hi, Poppy! How's the gang?" She asked. "They're doing just fine. Well, except for Cooper." Poppy said. "What's wrong with Cooper?" Nikita asked. "Well. Yesterday, Cooper fell ill so he's at home in bed." Poppy said.

This caught Nikita by surprise, she never thought that Cooper would get sick. He was always so healthy and happy, but even healthy trolls can get sick from time to time. Smidge came in suddenly with some supplies for Poppy to use for her cards.

"Hey, Smidge. How are the get-well cards coming along?" Poppy asked. "Everyone in the village made cards for Cooper." Smidge said. "That's great! Cooper's gonna love them." Poppy said. "I should probably make a get-well card for him as well." Nikita said.

She took out a few supplies and started making her card. It only took her a few minutes to make the card, but it was all for the greater good. Cooper's gonna need all the support he needs since he's sick in bed.

"I've finished my get-well card for Cooper." Nikita said. "Great! We were just about to head over to his pod to check on him." Poppy said.

As they reached Cooper's pod, they went inside where Cooper was laying in bed with a couple of boxes of tissues next to him. He didn't look so good since he was sneezing and coughing a lot. He grabbed a tissue and blew hard on it since his nose was red and stuffy. Nikita walked over to Cooper's bed and felt his forehead.

"You're burning up, Cooper." She said, worryingly. "Yup, I have a nasty cold." Cooper said. "Well don't you worry about a thing, Cooper. Doctor Poppy is here to help." Poppy said.

She placed a thermometer in his mouth while Smidge took out the cards everyone made for him. Along with the Snack Pack, every troll in the village has made a get-well card for Cooper. Whenever a member of their village gets hurt or sick, everyone works together to help them out and make them feel better.

"Look, Cooper. Everyone in the village made you get-well cards." Poppy said. "Aww! Thanks, Poppy. I appreciate them very much." Cooper said.

Poppy took out the thermometer from his mouth and looked closely at it.

"101 degrees. Yup, looks like you're staying in bed for a while." She said. "We'll have to keep a close eye on you so you don't feel worse." Smidge said. "And I'll be right here for support." Nikita said.

This made Cooper feel a little better knowing that his friends were there to support him during his time of need. He still felt very sick though, but at least he had his friends to look after him. Suddenly, he started coughing again.

"Looks like you could use some more rest." Nikita said. "Yeah, I feel very tired." Cooper said. "Here you go, a nice soft pillow for your head so you can feel comfortable while you rest." Poppy said. "We'll be right outside if you need anything." Smidge said.

The three friends leave the pod while Cooper lies down to rest. As they walked through the village, they spotted the rest of the Snack Pack hanging out with each other by the lake. They were playing in the water together when the three came over.

"Hey, guys!" Poppy said. "Hi, Poppy!" The group said in unison. "So glad you've come, princess." Creek said.

Poppy sat down next to Creek. He winked at her and she blushed. Poppy always had a secret crush on Creek, but she was too nervous to tell him.

"So, how's Cooper doing? Is he still sick?" Guy Diamond asked. "Unfortunately, yes he is." Poppy said. "It must be horrible for him, being stuck in bed with a nasty cold. Isn't that right, Mr. Dinkles?" Biggie asked his pet worm. "Mew." Mr. Dinkles said.

Nikita could see how sad the group was feeling about Cooper and she couldn't blame them. Being sick can be horrible, especially if you're a troll. You can't go outside to play or hang out with your friends. You have to stay in bed for who knows how long until you're all better.

"Now, guys. Cooper has us to help him out." Nikita said. "She's right. We shouldn't be feeling bad for him." DJ Suki said. "We could make him some new blankets." Satin said. "We could also make him some soup too." Chenille said. "That's a great idea." Poppy said.

Suddenly, Branch came out of nowhere and went over to the lake. He grabbed a bucket and scooped up some water to use for his bunker.

"Hey, Branch! How's everything with the bunker?" Poppy asked. "Oh you know, just getting some fresh water to use for my bunker which I'll be spending a long time in so no Bergens will find me." Branch said.

The group moaned at his comments, they were really annoyed at Branch for his paranoia of Bergens. As far as they knew, they hadn't seen a single Bergen in over 19 years. But Branch was certain that they're still out there and that it's only a matter of time before they find the village.

"So, Branch. Did you hear about Cooper being sick?" Nikita asked. "No, I didn't. I was too busy." Branch said. "Yeah, as always." Creek said.

Branch ignored Creek's remarks and continued with his work. Nikita went over and tried to reach out to him.

"I know you're not the type of troll who likes to get along with others, but I know you still have some care inside of you." She tells him.

This caught Branch's attention. Even though he's annoyed with the Snack Pack's antics, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about them.

"Nikki. Can you tell Cooper that I hope he feels better soon?" He asked. "Of course, Branch." Nikita said.

Back at Cooper's pod, Satin and Chenille were covering him with his new blanket that they made for him. Poppy was feeding Cooper some chicken soup and the rest of the gang were stacking all the get-well cards in a bunch of piles. Nikita came inside to see how Cooper was doing.

"How are you feeling, Cooper?" She asked. "A little better, but I still feel sick." Cooper said.

He sneezed again and grabbed another tissue to blow on.

"Well, I just wanted to let you know that Branch sends his regards to you." Nikita said.

This caught everyone by surprise, including Poppy. They never expected Branch to be the caring type since he lives an isolated lifestyle.

"Wow. That's wonderful! Right guys?" Poppy asked. "Yeah, that sounds great." Biggie said. "At least Branch was thoughtful enough to tell me to get well soon." Cooper said. "See, guys? Branch does have a caring side to him after all." Poppy said.

Once Cooper had finished his bowl of soup, Poppy put the bowl away to wash later. Nikita grabbed a chair and sat right next to Cooper. She felt his forehead and again to make sure he wasn't getting worse.

"I'm feeling tired again." Cooper said. "Then I guess we should let you get some rest." Poppy said.

As the Snack Pack began to leave the pod, Nikita tucked Cooper to bed before she was ready to leave too.

"Sleep tight and get better soon." She said as Cooper began to sleep again.

Nikita smiled as she left the pod, allowing Cooper to get the rest he needs.
