Chapter 20
Polly: (picks up poppys crown) please Poppy...be the queen you were meant to be
Poppy: (can't even find the words to speak)
Polly: (puts the crown on her head) I'm so proud of you
Poppy: (smiles so big) I don't even know what to say...
Polly: you don't have to...you brought out biggest enemies as our friends..you came to look for me despite what I did...you helped branch find his mom...I couldn't ask for a better daughter...I missed 20 years but I don't intend to miss anymore (hugs her)
(Everyone cheers as they hug again)
Polly: so this is Bridget?
Poppy: yup! One of the my best friends! And king gristle!
Polly: (looks at his branch) is he your boyfriend?
Poppy: (blushes) yes..
Polly: hey don't be embarssed! I'm happy you found someone who cares about you...he didn't want to lose your soul forever
Poppy: (looks at Branch and smiles) believe it or not he was once a grumpy old troll
Branch: (rolls his eyes playfully) here we go again
Polly: wow I sure missed a lot
(Poppy tells the story of how Branch brought her colors back and how their relationship blossomed over time. A celebration goes on later in the night and poppy and Branch meet up with each other)
Poppy: you went all the way back to that tunnel for me?
Branch: I don't know what I would've done if I would've lost you
Poppy: I love you branch, you know that?
Branch: I do (smiles) and I'll never stop loving you
Poppy: we'll look at us now...we had a new adventure and we found what we were looking for...now what?
Branch: (teases) oh gosh please don't tell me there's a lost brother or sister we have to find
Poppy: (laughs) no! I mean now I'm officially queen now...we probably won't have big adventures
Branch: our relationship is our adventure and it's a long one that will never end
(The moon shines bright and they both look at the sky and smile at each other before sharing a passionate kiss but not too far away, peppy and Polly watch and can't help but smile)
Peppy: remember when we used to be like that?
Polly: I remember...poppys really grown up..soon she'll be a mother with a child of her own
Peppy: whoa one thing at a time...she and Branch only became a couple a week ago
Polly: but you know young love...I wonder how berry will adjust to living here now...I know I gotta get used to it..it feels so different
Peppy: but you'll get used it over time I promise
Polly: thanks for coming back...I can't wait to see what this new life has to offer
(6 months later, Berry and Polly have grown used to the village and they love their new lives. Branch and his moms relationship has grown, it's so much better than it used to be and poppy and her mom have developed a relationship from all the years of missing out. Poppy is a great queen, although it's a lot of work..everyone loves her and she enjoys being leader. Most of the bergens moved into the village with them and just like poppy imagined, they finally live in peace with the bergens. As for poppy and branch's relationship, like any couple they've had their ups and downs, being queen was hard for their relationship but every moment they've had was memorable. While branch loves poppy he's not sure...if he's ready to take the next step. They had moved in together and whenever poppy ever brought up the idea of marriage Branch always tried to change it. Being polar opposites Branch still thought they were so young while poppy was all eager no matter how old she was)
(In the morning branch woke up and as usual Poppy was already gone and when he got dressed he heard a knock and saw his mom at the door)
Branch: oh hey mom! What's up?
Berry: nothing really...I don't really see you much...is everything ok?
Branch: oh yeah, it is!
Berry: how are you and poppy?
Branch: were good...it's just hard not to see each other as much as we like to and when she gets home she's always tired
Berry: well that's a relationship...it's hard but you two complete each other so well
Branch: yeah...her birthdays coming up soon and I wanna do something special for her...
Berry: Aw how romantic what'd you thinking of doing?
Branch: I've got a few things up my sleeve...I think she'll love it...
Berry: it's so great to see you two blossoming
Branch: oh mom you just like to embarss me
Berry: well I didn't get to back then so now I have a chance now (smirks)
(Branch and Berry spend the rest of the day putting together berrys house before branch goes home..once he's home..he waits for poppy..)
Poppy: (comes home looking tired) branch?
Branch: hey beautiful how was your day?
Poppy: tiring as usual...
Branch: well you're the queen after all...being queen is a huge responsibility
Poppy: was your day more interesting than mine?
Branch: nah just the same old bonding with mom
Poppy: (smiles) branch...thank you
Branch: for what?
Poppy: i know it's been hard not seeing each other as much since I've been queen but you've been so supportive and I really love you for that
Branch: (smirks) you mean you didn't love me as much before?
Poppy: hey! I'm having a moment here!
Branch: (laughs) I know I'm just kidding
Poppy: (laughs) I've been thinking...we should get married
Branch: (caught off guard) what?
Poppy: let's get married
Branch: you're funny where'd this come from?
Poppy: it would solve our problem of not spending much time together
Branch: poppy let's not rush into anything let's just take it slow...plus we're still young
Poppy: but I'm turning 21 in a couple days
Branch: your point?
Poppy: aw but waiting takes forever
Branch: patience my dear...you don't know what I have planned...(takes her hand and grabs her close)
Poppy: you still have the pillow barrier up you know...
Branch: do I? Why don't we fix that...this is the first time you haven't come home tired
Poppy: because I want to...
Branch: want to what?
Poppy: (winks) I can't wait anymore Branch
Branch: (blushes) poppy...I don't think we should
Poppy: aw come on branchie...if you're nervous...I'll help you..(kisses his neck) it'll be great...
Branch: are you trying to seduce me?
Poppy: is it working? (smirks)
Branch: maybe...(pins her down and kisses her) this'll be an early gift for your birthday...
Poppy: oh I know it'll be my favorite
(The next morning branch wakes up and when he looks around...clothes all over the floor...furniture...knocked over...the sheets were even soaked...he looked over and saw Poppy still asleep..he couldn't help but smile...it was great...he felt as if it had brought them close together...now Branch had another surprise for poppy planned on her birthday)
(So yes I'm sure we all know what happens in this one scene ? sooo what's Branch planning for poppys birthday? And what is that extra one he added? Find out soon and don't forget to review! ~Ash)
