Here's chapter 5! I'm sorry for the delay. I've been busy and had writer's block! So I hope that this makes it up to you.

Enjoy!

Tomboyfriend - Well, many people had always wondered of Branch's parents. All I know is that they died, leaving Branch with his grandmother. Well maybe it did happened the way it was written or maybe it's not. But this is what my friend thought of and I agreed to write it. I don't understand what you meant by categories, but I'm pleased to hear that you approved in the style it's written. It's not easy, I tell you. Thanks!

Reby Montana - Party was fun and I just had to make Wood ask her out. Glad you liked it!

Black Raider - Yep. Guy Diamond is definitely his father's son. Yeah, you can't chose your parents, apparently. Creek would have been a better troll if his parents would have known better how to raise him.

Takiarika - Thanks for your thoughts. They are appreciated. And yes, I knew Trolls 2 will come in 2020! I can't wait for it, but did you know of the trolls holiday that will come this fall and of the animated series on Netflix next year?

SkyZoneKiller - I'll try. Hope this pleases you.


A Blue Angel Born From Love

Chapter 5: A Romantic Night


Some days had passed and Friday had already arrived. Inside Primrose's home, the teal troll rummaged through her closet, trying to find the perfect outfit for her date with Wood tonight. Her best friend, Queen Joy, is sitting on her bed, watching her nerve wrecking friend tossing each dress she found unfit for her.

"Too dressy?" Primrose asked Joy, holding a black blouse. She looked at it and shook her head. "Too dressy." She searched inside as Joy sighed. One by one, she looked and denied each set of clothes she had set her eyes on. "Too glittery. Too small. Too blue! Oh, Joy, I can't find anything to wear tonight! Can you help me, please?"

"Oh, Primrose, you're being too paranoid. It's just a date," Joy consoled her.

"Sure, it's just a date," She sarcastically replied. "My very first date with the most sweetest, bravest, and handsomest troll I've ever met and I'm about to make a fool out of myself!" She groaned as she dropped head first onto her bed. "I can't do this, Joy! What if he doesn't like what I wear?"

Joy sat next to her with a soft smile and gently rubbed her back. "Now, now. There's nothing to worry about. Wood likes you for who you are and he doesn't care what you wear. The only thing he wants is for you to be there and to be happy." She chuckled. "You should have seen King Peppy when he asked me out. He was so nervous that he wished that the Bergens would come over and just eat him!" She laughed and sighed at the sweet memory. "This is an important night for you and I want you to take a deep breath and relax. You'll see. You'll have a wonderful time."

Primrose lifted her head from the bed and faced Joy. They both exchanged smiles. "I guess, but what should I wear?"

Joy thought as she looked inside her closet. "Hmm..." She then spotted something in a cabinet and took out a beautiful burgundy dress with a light blue crescent moon in the center, a golden collar, and peach diamonds in a up-down zig-zag pattern on the bottom. "What about this one? This is very beautiful!"

Primrose looked at it and slightly gasps, almost a whisper. She reached out for it and held it tenderly with soft eyes. "Wow...I haven't seen this since...since my mother passed." She looked towards her friend's face. "This was my mother's. I don't know if I should."

"Of course you should!" Joy said while nodding. "It's beautiful and it will make your mother happy if you wear it. Go ahead and try it on."

Primrose then went into her washroom and tried on her mother's dress. When Queen Joy saw her in it, she smiled and gasped. "Oh my. Primrose, you look gorgeous! Wood will love it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Have I ever lied to you?" Joy hunched her shoulders innocently. "It's perfect for tonight. Although, it's still needs something." She tapped her chin with her finger in deep thought. Suddenly, she snapped her fingers and went back to the closet. "A-ha!" She exclaimed as she took out a nice blue-green jacket and showed it to Primrose. "I think it matches with your dress and that way, you'll be prepared in case it gets cold."

Primrose looked at both clothes and grinned. "What a fantastic idea! Thank you, Joy!" She grabbed her in a hug.

"Happy to help," Joy said, hugging her back. "But you must hurry, Wood is coming to pick you up in an hour."

"I'm going to get ready," Primrose declared as she grabbed her clothes.

"I'll be in the other room if you need me and wait til Wood gets here!" Joy assured her.

"Okay!"

Joy chuckled as she fell on a soft chair and relaxed as well as grabbing a book to read while she waited. After an hour has passed, night has fallen outside, shrouding the sky with stars and darkness. The village was illuminated by lit pods and some trolls carrying lanterns as they walked through the night. Joy curiously watched the stars above the sky. She loves seeing the populated sparkles of light floating in that blanket of shadow, creating a romantic atmosphere which she is sure will give to her friend and her date.

KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK!

"Coming!" Joy cried out after the knocking broke her watchful glance of the sky. She happily opened the door, revealing a well dressed Wood who was fixing his maroon bow tie. He wore a periwinkle shirt underneath a red jacket combined with his long, royal blue pants.

"Your majesty! What a surprise to see you!" He bowed to the Queen.

Joy chuckled and shook her head. "There's no need for formalities, Wood. Tonight, I'm just a friendly troll helping her best friend. Come in!" She gestured him to come inside, which he did as he politely stood besides the chair. "Primrose, Wood's here!"

"Hello?" Wood called out.

"I'll be right out, Wood!" Primrose's voice was heard from her room.

"Take your time!" Wood assured her, being the patient troll he is. "There's no rush!"

Joy chuckled as she stared at Wood's clothing. "So dapper you are tonight. Haven't seen you that good looking in a long time."

"You know me, barely wear formal unless it's necessary," Wood chuckled. "Actually, my mother helped me. It's not much, is it?" He looked down as he turned around, scanning his clothes.

"I'm sure it's perfect for you. Now, a little advice, just be yourself and be careful out there. The night can also be dangerous as well as in the daytime," Joy said as she fixed a stray hair he had. Wood nodded. "Don't worry, I'll keep her safe."

"So, Wood, where are you taking us tonight?" Primrose said, finally coming out of her room in her set of clothes that Joy picked out for her.

"Ahh, I'm afraid I can't say, Prim. It's a sur..." He stopped mid sentence once he finally glanced at Primrose. Her stunning dress and jacket gave out a variety of colors and her pink hair had some glitter on it for style reasons. "...prise." Wood muttered. She was absolutely amazing in her clothes. It was like she transformed into a whole different troll. A pretty flower to a gorgeous, blooming rose!

Primrose notices his silence and his eyes on her. "Wood, is everything alright?" She wondered.

"Yes. Beautiful." He finally said, though he was actually referring to her. She blushed as she chuckled. When she saw Wood in his different set of clothes, she admits that he looked dashing and almost like a prince. "Shall we go, my lady?" He said, offering his arm as he raised it. Primrose nodded and hooked her arm to his.

"Lets. See you, Joy," She said back to her friend as they walked out the door.

"Have fun, you two!" Joy waved at them as they left towards the village. She sighed and said to herself. "They make such a beautiful pair." And then, she turned and went back to the royal pod with a smile, knowing that things might turn out okay for the two of them.


The night was young and the moon was shining bright, giving a peaceful aura all around the forest and in the village. The stars glimmered and twinkled around the moon in the dark sky as a gentle wind blew some leaves in the trees, sending some of them to the ground. This night was perfect. So peaceful, calm, and elegant for a date.

Wood strolled along the village with Primrose by his side. They passed various pods which Primrose noticed. "Hey, Wood, I thought we were going to eat. Aren't we supposed to be heading towards the restaurant pod?"

"And miss a wonderful night like this?" Wood chuckled. "Oh, no. On a night like this, our date should be outdoors and where would that be? Well, that's the surprise. Just trust me." He said while holding out his hand.

Primrose softly chuckled and took it. "Alright. I will." And with a grin, Wood led her out the village to their destination, deep in the forest. They carefully walked through the path, hoping to avoid being contacted by any critter or possibly, a Bergen. But they were carefully silent and luckily, they haven't been spotted. As they reached deeper into the forest, Wood stopped and Primrose followed.

"Okay, close your eyes."

"Why?" She wondered.

"How can I surprise you if you don't?" He said.

Primrose sighed through her nose and amusingly replied. "You sure are a troll full of mystery, aren't you?" Her answer was a smirk and a cocked eyebrow, which made her chuckle. "Okay." She then closed her eyes. Wood took this chance and gently grabs her hands as he pulled her as they walked further. "Shall I opened them now?"

"No, no, not yet," Wood said. Primrose felt as if the ground suddenly turned steep and upwards. She guessed that they're walking up a grassy hill. She listened to her surroundings, her ears twitching to every sound. The grass being blown by the wind, crickets chirping, and she also heard was sounded like branches full of leaves, swaying back and forth due to the wind pushing against it.

Just then, she wasn't being pulled anymore. "Now can I open them?"

"Alright. Now."

Primrose then opened her eyes. She gasps at the sight before her. In front of her was a picnic set under the same willow tree where they first met. A blue and white checkered blanket was spread out in the grass, there was a woven basket on top of it with plates, cups, napkins, and some utensils. She saw that on the tree were colorful little lanterns in all variety of colors set over the picnic spot almost like a lit up canopy, fireflies flying around harmoniously, and food was being served in the middle. It truly was a surprise for the teal troll who stared with awe and happiness, holding her heart from beating. "Oh, Wood. This is...beautiful. So amazing! I don't know what to say."

Wood peered in from behind her, hiding a grin. "Well, you could say 'Oh Wood, you're such a gentletroll and a romantic.'" He said in a girly voice, imitating Primrose's hopeful reply. "Or this, 'Oh, thank you, Wood, but the food's too pretty to eat!'"

"Oh, you!" She teased, gently grabbing his nose and wiggling it. "Still, I can't believe you've managed to make all this! Just for us!"

"Well, I can't take all the credit. My mom helped me made the food. Gotta have to thank the two of us later on." He then grabbed two cushions and placed on opposite sides of the blanket and then walked towards her, gently grabbing her hand. "Right this way, my lady."

"Why, thank you, sir," She played along, both of them chuckling on the way. She slowly sat on the soft cushion which she find it pleasant and then he sat on his cushion.

He then began to serve their food which were rectangular cut sandwiches, some freshly picked berries, berry juice, and for dessert, a chocolate cake with light blue frosting and strawberries on it. While they ate, they began to tell stories, mostly about their childhood and the good times with their friends. Both trolls laughed and were enjoying the time as well as each other's company.

Wood was telling Primrose about the time he and Shiningstar helped decorate the music room. "And so Shiningstar told me that he brought something special to make the music room shine and then said, 'Pull my finger.' I did what he asked and when I did, BOOM! He poofed out the biggest glitter fart I've ever heard and seen. Everything was full of glitter including me and the other trolls. It took me a week to wash all that glitter off of me!"

"I can't believe that actually happened!" Primrose laughed, holding her stomach to avoid getting cramps. "You must have been so surprised!"

"Shocked was more like it. My mouth tasted like glitter, which was unbearable by the way. Shiningstar practically laughed so hard, I thought he was going to explode! But you got to admit, it was kinda funny." Wood shrugged as he admitted.

"Yeah, it is," Primrose agreed. She then glanced around the are, taking in account all the stuff Wood had done in order to make it perfect for both of them. "I'm glad that I'm here, Wood. The big surprise for me is that you chose this spot for our date."

"Why not? It's beautiful, peaceful, a little private, but most of all, this is where we first met and I thought it would only be a place for either one of us and for both of us whenever we want," Wood admitted as he blushed a little. Primrose hid her face as she blushed as well. "Oh, I brought something for you." He then stretched his hair and grabbed something from behind the willow tree. He then held a bouquet of buttercups and primroses. But before he could give them to Primrose, some pollen flew into his nose. He sniffed, scrunching his nose and widening his eyes before- ACHOO! He rubbed his nose as he sniffed until he gasped when he saw that the scattered flowers landed onto Primrose. Her hair was covered with the flowers and on her clothes as well. He nervously watched Primrose blow a flower off her nose until suddenly, she started laughing. Seeing that there's no harm done, he laughed with her.

"Now that's what I call 'Flower Power'," Primrose added.

"I guess so. Sorry for that." Wood blushed in embarrassment. Primrose shook her head. "No harm done. It's a lovely gift for sure, so thank you."

Wood sighed in relief. "You're welcome. Hey, did you know that if you hold a buttercup under your chin, it'll make your chin glow? But that doesn't work on yellow skinned trolls."

Primrose curiously wanted to try that out. She brought one buttercup under her shin and it glowed yellow but she couldn't see it. "Does it work on me?"

Wood only stared wide eyed on her, and with the added yellow glow under her chin, she seemed so elegant and beautiful. The only thing he could hear was his own heartbeat pumping loudly. Forming a smile, he answered, "It sure does, Prim. It sure does."

He then stood up and offered a hand to her. She grabbed it and let him lead her towards the tree. With a twirl of his hair, he stretched it high, hooking onto a branch and pulled themselves up. They carefully walked on the branch and then, Wood pulled some leaves out of the way, revealing the bright moon on view as well as the troll tree where the village were. Primrose was amazed by this scenery as she sat down with Wood by her side.

"Wow, Wood! This view is beautiful!"

"Isn't it? I have you to thank for it. If I haven't heard you singing, I wouldn't have found this wonderful place. This tree is now considered my top favorite place to be whenever I feel both happy and sad."

"Yeah, I feel the same about this place," She said, twiddling with her fingers shyly. "It's great that only the two of us knows about it, so that it could be special for both of us."

"Yeah." He agreed. "So, I see you've gotten a little less shy?"

"Well, hanging out with you these last couple of weeks has brought me out a little bit. You're very fun to be around with, Wood," She admitted kindly.

Wood chuckled, scratching the back of his head nervously. "Thanks. So are you."

"Me?" She pointed out and laughed. "I don't know how."

"There's just... something about you that makes it so," Wood started shyly. The way he gazed at her made Primrose stared back silently. Both trolls seemed in a trance until they turned away, cheeks blushing madly. They hadn't said a word for a couple of minutes. The only thing that made the sound was the sound of the night critters being heard from the forest and the wind blowing through the trees. It almost seemed that the whole forest wanted these two trolls to continue. Primrose played with her fingers shyly. She took a deep breath and continued. "What's she like?"

Wood perked his ears at her voice. "Who?"

"Your mother," She started shyly. "You said that she helped made the food, which were delicious and wonderful, by the way. What's she like? I've told you about my parents before. I would like to hear more about her. If you don't mind my asking, of course." She hoped that her question wouldn't bother Wood so much, but seeing him form a soft smile calmed her thoughts.

"No, it's fine. Where do I start? My mother, Rosiepuff, is, in my opinion, the best mother anyone could have. She's patient, loving, kind, strong-willed, and caring. She's as purple as a grape, her hair is light green turquoise like the sea, with light green eyes. Her soothing songs can lull even the fussiest troll into a calming nap and whenever I'm near her, I'll always feel safe. She is also a nanny and used to babysat my friends and I when we were babies. I guess she has a thing and a way with children."

Primrose chuckled silently. Rosiepuff sounds like the perfect mother. She could see why Wood admires her.

"She's done so much for me and I wish I could protect her just as she protects me. That's why I always look out for any troll. She always said that I'll always be the stronger troll as long I stand for others. In a way, she's right." He exhaled through his nose with a chuckle. "She's always right. The two of us are inseparable. I would hate to think what would I do without her," he finished as he looked down solemnly. "You know, there are various places that Mother and I go to around the village where they are as beautiful as our tree here. Their peacefulness helps us deal with the loss of my father."

"Oh! I'm so sorry," Primrose said respect and pity.

"It's okay," He assured as he avoided seeing her face.

"What happened to your father?" She asked, though she hoped that it didn't upset him.

Wood looked up to the stars. "He died on Trollstice 14 years ago. I was only 11 years old when he was taken from us. I won't forget the last words he said to me: 'Protect your family and follow your heart. It will never fail you.' After that, he told me that he loves me and then...he was gone." He sniffed as his eyes filled up with unshed tears. "After he was gone, I almost turned grey, but my mother and my friends made sure I didn't. They reminded me that they're here for me. Their happiness and songs refilled my heart and my true colors stayed on since then." Clenching his fists, he continued. "I couldn't do anything for my father, but I hoped to do more for my mother, for my friends, and for my future family one day." He softly let his tears flow, struggling to cry. Primrose covered her mouth in shock as well as pity. A small tear fell from her face. Understanding what had happened to Wood, she then embraced him in a hug. Wood was surprised but he hugged her back, seeking comfort.

"I know it's not hug time, but I believe that you could use one," Primrose whispered. Wood nodded and hugged her tight, not wanting to let go. Her warmth and scent from the flowers on her made him feel safe and loved on the inside. "I'm sorry that you've lost your father, but at least you still have your mother. At least, you're not alone, like me." She muttered that last part.

Wood heard every word and raised his head. Cupping her face, he softly turned her face to him. Her eyes were sad and he noticed some tears streaks from before. "You will never be alone. Not if I have anything to say about it." He gently grabs her shoulders. "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you'll always be safe. I won't let anything happen to you. And whenever you feel alone or sad or in need of comfort, my home will always be open to you. You could belong there too, if you don't mind the company."

Primrose gasped softly and sighed. She stared into his green eyes filled with determination and devotion for her safety, but also, there was something else. That something made her feel something warm in her heart, a feeling that she would burst if she did not let it out. Whenever she is with Wood, she feels content and her smile never seems to disappear as long as she could see him. She lets go of his arms and stood up before turning to walk on the branch.

"Primrose?" Wood called her as he stood up as well.

Primrose didn't turn as she stopped. Her heart filled with mixed feelings and unsure how to express herself to him, so she did the only way she could: through song.

[Primrose:]

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through

She turned to face him with a smile and motioned to the area around them.

Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

Wood listened to her singing and once again, her voice had enchanted him. The same voice that attracted him to follow until they met. He knew it was no coincidence, but fate that they had met, and destiny that they are meant to be together. Without hesitating, he joined along in the most handsomest and soulful voice Primrose ever heard as he walks towards her.

[Wood:]

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart

They came closer as they hold hands with smiles as they sang together in harmony.

[Both:]

When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start

They then waltz together as they began to glow their respective colors, not breaking their stares for a minute. Wood spun her when he can, carefully making sure she didn't fall while she made sure her steps matched perfectly which they did.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Primrose then let go as she ran ahead. She used her hair to climb onto a higher branch. Wood stayed below as she amusingly watched as she continued the next verse. Various fireflies flew around them, their lights matching the romantic moment these trolls were having.

[Primrose:]
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure

[Wood:]
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true

Wood then climbed up to Primrose joining her side once again. He then offered his opened arms to her which she quickly joined and shared a hug together.

[Both:]
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Wood suddenly let go and ran ahead. Primrose chuckled and followed him. But then, she noticed that he has disappeared. Unbeknownst to her, he kept hidden from behind the leaves right beside her. Only his silhouette can be seen while her silhouette can be seen through Wood's eyes from behind the leaves. As they walked side by side, they reminisced of their life before they met. Though they had friends to keep them company, they secretly longed for a special someone to fill their hearts with love and take away the loneliness they felt before.

[Both:]

Knew there was somebody, somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Wood finally appeared from behind and gently turned her around with his hair to face him which surprised her until she smiled once she saw his face. He lifted her in the air and lets her fall until she landed in his arms.

[Both:]

And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

They danced along the branch as the flowers from Primrose's hair fell off, floating with the wind. The fireflies and lanterns, swinging back and forth in rhythm as they danced harmoniously together as they shone their colors brightly like an aurora borealis dancing in the night sky.

[Both:]

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep going on...

[Primrose:]

Starting out on a journey...

[Both:]

Life is a road I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning...

With you

Both trolls finished their song which their voices matched perfectly. Their arms holding onto their partner's back, their eyes softening as they stared lovingly at each other. In his mind, Wood battled with his thoughts. 'Is it the right time? Does she have the right to know? It's now or never. He inhaled and exhaled deeply. 'Okay, just twenty seconds of courage I'll need. Here I go.'

"Prim?"

"Yes?" Primrose said.

Wood was speechless. '15 seconds left.' "From the moment I first saw you, I thought you were an angel descended from the heavens, but now I know that you are more to me than an angel. You are the light of my heart destined to conquer the darkness within me."

Primrose listened to his every word and she was feeling lighter than air as he continued. Her heart would not stop beating. "Without you, the sun will have no warmth. The flowers, no beauty. Your love is the rainbow that shines though my eyes. I guess what I'm trying to say is this...Primrose, I...I love you."

Primrose's eyes wide in realization of his true feelings. Holding his hands into hers and gently squeezing them, she then said, "Wood, I...feel the same way about you. These last weeks with you has been the most magical I've ever felt and I don't want to think of a life... without you in it." She then lovingly glanced at him. "I love you, too, Wood."

Wood smiled. "Enough for us to be a couple?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way," She rested her head in his chest.

They shared a hug together and their hearts were filled with joy and love for each other, knowing that they are simply meant to be. Breaking the hug, both trolls stared at each other until Wood gently cupped Primrose's cheek as he leaned forward and finally, sealed their lips in a kiss as they closed their eyes. It was a magical moment as they wrapped their arms around their date's necks. Primrose allowed this kiss from a smooch into a deep, passionate kiss as their tongues battled for dominance. She even felt Wood pull her closer, not wanting to separate.

After what seemed like an eternity for them, they separated in order to breath. They hugged for several more minutes before Primrose spoke the serene silence.

"Wood, this is the most wonderful date you ever took me to."

"And it's only our first one and the night is still young. But the best part of it is that I got to share it and my feelings with you," Wood smiled which Primrose mirrored as well. "Shall we continue our session?"

"With pleasure," She laughed as Wood lifted her up and cradled her in his arms. Holding his neck, she and Wood kissed once again, enjoying every second of this wonderful romantic night.

A night that their hearts will never forget.
