Disclaimer: I don't own trolls or songs in this chapter.
Warning: there will be some strong scenes in the end of the chapter that's rated M! So, young readers, you have been warned of this.
Enjoy!
Reby Montana - I hoped it would. I know, right? I've been waiting to write this and I see someone's been paying attention in detail. Well, your wait is now over 'cause here it comes.
Black Raider - I'm glad you and your heart had enjoyed every bit of the proposal. I was nervous that I was making it sound too sappy, but thanks for telling me that. And now, you get to enjoy their wedding!
mlpfanceline1 - Yep. Thank you for your patience, my friend. That's okay to be excited. Express yourself the way you like it, but positively and kindly is quite preferable. Sometimes your actions speak louder than words can describe.
A Blue Angel Born From Love
Chapter 14: Two Hearts that Beat as One
-In the Present-
"And that was how my dad proposed to my mom and how she immediately accepted his hand in marriage," Branch said with a warm feeling in his heart. This is one of his favorite parts of his parent's history, at least that's what he told his Grandmother when he was small.
He then gazed upon Poppy who had a excited look in her eyes. She clenched her fingers impatiently while muffling her happy shouts. Guessing her actions, Branch chuckled. "Okay, Poppy. I'll allow it just one more," He then put his index fingers into his ears. "Go ahead!"
"EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH!" Poppy let out a huge girly screech of happiness that can be heard throughout the forest. Her cries scared some critters into hiding and the birds flew away from the trees. Guy Diamond had to cover his ears from the loud noise. Knowing Poppy, Branch was prepared for this. "Oh, holy hair! Oh, holy hair! Oh, holy hair!" Poppy rambled on like a little girl getting her toy on Trollmas. "I can't believe we've finally reached the wedding part! Oh, how romantic!"
"It's true, Poppy. And they couldn't be any happier than before," Branch nodded.
"And was it a big wedding? Did they had lots of glitter and balloons? How was Primrose's dress?" Poppy asked so many questions at once that Branch didn't had a chance to answer them quickly.
"One at a time, Poppy. One at a time," Branch pushed his hands forward, wishing for her to calm down. She became silent but eager to know more. "Thank you. Because they are eager to get married, they decided that the wedding would be set for the following few days. The wedding was..."
"The greatest night of their lives!" Guy Diamond hollered in his auto toned voice. "It was at a lake, filled with shimmering fireflies flying around in many orbs of light. Eager trolls packed the grassy meadows. Your mother arrived in a butterfly carriage, the diamonds in her dress and tiara sparkling, your father looking glamorously in his glitter tux, escorted her into a glitter altar where he..."
"Guy Diamond!" Branch snapped Guy out of his monologue. The teal troll looked irritated that his friend interrupted his story, especially to the good part. "That was Shiningstar and Amethyst's wedding, you crazy disco ball! Now, be quiet and stop interrupting the story!" Guy Diamond sat down with a goofy grin and listen on. "As I was saying, the wedding was big, but not as big as a royal wedding, of course. But many trolls came to see the couple tie the knot. They had a lot of decorations in all shapes and sizes, even glitter, thanks to certain family members of our famous glitter troll."
"Aw! Shucks!" Guy Diamond hunched his shoulders in embarrassment. "Was my dad Wood's best troll?"
Branch nodded. "He was and also the one who gave my dad his bachelor's party while Rhythm did my mom's bachelorette party which both were successful, by the way. King Peppy did the honor to issue the ceremony. Joy was Primrose's maid of honor and Silkie made the wedding dress. Everything had to be perfect for these special trolls."
"Oh, I just love weddings as does Bridget too!" Poppy squealed happily. "If only she was here to hear this story...but she and Gristle are away on their trip to Venice."
"It was her birthday present from Gristle considering it was her birthday yesterday. It's a good thing you've send her a birthday card, Poppy," Branch added.
"Yep. Poppy's skills in scrapbooking and crafts are beyond the incredible!" Guy Diamond exclaimed, making Poppy blush.
"Aw, you guys! I just do what I love."
"We know, Poppy," Branch agreed kindly. "And believe me that Joy felt the same way when she helped prepare the wedding. This is a wedding that will never be forgotten by the hearts of many. Even though it wasn't a royal wedding, everyone believed that Wood and Primrose were in one or at least, deserved one to start with."
-Back to the Past-
News had spread quickly of Wood's proposal and Primrose's acceptance to his hand in marriage. The first to be notified by this was Rosiepuff. She practically leaped from her chair, pumped her arms in the air and cheered loudly as if she won a prize. She was happy for both of them and was even more happy when they decided that the three of them should live together in Wood's pod as a family.
For the next three days, after their friends and everyone they know have been given the news, they all immediately began their planning and preparations. Each troll had a role to perform for the wedding: King Peppy was to issue the wedding, his wife was Primrose's maid of honor and with her skills in decorating and planning, it's no match for her, Silkie was in charge of making the bride's wedding dress, Shiningstar was chosen to be Wood's best man and was deeply honored, Big Bash prepared the food and bake the wedding cake with a little help from Rosiepuff, and Rhythm, Olivia, and Starlight were to be bridesmaids.
Everyone was busy, trying to get everything perfect. Since then, Wood and Primrose were always running around, working with the trolls to prepare for their wedding. Flowers needed to be checked on, rings needed to be bought, and cakes needed to be made. Within a day before the wedding, Primrose's dress was finally complete.
Meanwhile, King Peppy and Joy were overlooking the construction of the alter. Shiningstar was helping with the decorations, Big Bash and Chester were bringing the wedding cake which was a big, seven layer, chocolate cake with white icing decorated with green lining, pink and blue flowers, and DJ Sonic was placing the chairs alongside with the other trolls and his love Rhythm.
"The trolls are doing a fine job," Peppy said.
"Are the decorations to your liking, your majesties?" Shiningstar asked as he finished adding the last streamers. The rulers gazed upon the decorations with awe. It was a beautiful sight with a rainbow arch in front made from respective colored flowers, a white carpet leading to it and beside it were rows of urns filled with pink, white, and blue flowers; and pink, green, and red streamers surrounding the area.
"Perfect," Peppy smiled. "They're beautiful!"
"You've done well," Joy said happily.
"Thank you very much," Shiningstar bowed his head proudly.
"You're welcome!"
"It sure is coming along nicely for your best friend. Primrose and Wood will be pleased by all that we've done," Peppy commented. "It sure reminds me of our wedding day."
"Thanks, Peppy. That means a lot," Joy thanked him while giving him a kiss.
"Now if there's anything more you need me to do, just say the word."
"There is one thing if I may," Joy said.
"And what's that?" Peppy wondered.
"My dear Peppy, it would be a great honor for you to escort Primrose to the alter for her marriage. Considering that she's without parents, you're the best candidate for that. And I know that she'll be happy with this decision. Will you do that for her and for me?"
Peppy chuckled. "You don't need to ask me that. I'm sure Primrose would be pleased to have me escort her anyway. And I'll be happy as well. She's your best friend and she's practically family to us."
"Thank you, Peppy!" Joy gratefully wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug which he gladly returned.
Finally, the wedding day came and it dawned bright and lovely on the first day of May. Everyone rose with the dawn, active and ready to make this the best day for Wood and Primrose. The girls ushered Primrose to get up while the boys worked on Wood.
Inside the groom's room, Wood was watching himself on his mirror as he tried on a special tuxedo he saved for the occasion. The tuxedo was navy blue with a teal bow and black shoes. This suit was his father's before he died and he wanted to wear it to honor him. With him was Feather, wearing his best purple suit with a red bow and his hair being silky smooth with gel.
Shiningstar, wearing only a dark blue bow, came inside the dressing room. "So, how's our groom coming along?"
"Oh, just about one step closer to being a nervous wreck," Feather commented.
"Very funny, Feather," Wood sarcastically replied. "I can't help it if I've started thinking that the moment I leave this room, I'll be marrying the troll I love with all my heart and I'll probably ruin everything with my foolishness!" He began to hyperventilate, but luckily, Shiningstar came and shook his shoulders.
"Get a grip, man! It's not the end of the world!" Shiningstar said. "But the beginning of a new life. Relax. Take a deep breath and all will be fine."
Wood exhaled. "I know. I'm just so nervous about this. I mean, am I doing the right thing? Is she willing to go through this with me?"
"Why did she agreed to marry you if she isn't?" Feather pointed out. "Don't back out now. Besides, any troll who risked his life to save others, who had faced Bergens on Trollstice, and has saved my girlfriend can handle one simple wedding."
Wood smiled at them, feeling relief and lucky to have good friends like them. The men suddenly heard knocking on the door and Rosiepuff came in. She wore a beautiful peach dress with a rosy red shawl on her shoulders. "I'm sorry to interrupt, boys. I just want to see if the groom is ready."
"He'll be done in just a moment," Shiningstar said. "We'll be leaving you two alone now. Can't wait for the ceremony to begin." Shiningstar grinned and he and Feather walked out the door. Once alone, Rosiepuff gazed upon her son and became awed when she saw him. Wood was so handsome in his suit that she almost shed some tears.
"You look as handsome as your father did on our wedding day," she said.
"Thanks, Mom. I wanted to wear something of his today," Wood said softly.
"That means so much to me. Your father would be so proud of you," Rosiepuff said, giving him a warm smile.
Wood sadly looked down as he remembered his father who gave his life to save his family on Trollstice and died a hero years ago. "I wish he was here. He would have loved seeing me get married to Primrose. I miss him so much."
"Oh, Wood. But he is... in here." His mother said as she placed her hand in Wood's heart. "Once you love someone, they stay in your heart forever."
Wood smiled warmly at Rosiepuff and then they pulled each other into a warm hug. Tightly hugging each other, they didn't noticed their tears of happiness shedding. "I love you, Mother."
"I love you too, Wood. Your father does too," she happily cried before breaking their hug. "Well, I'll go see how your bride is doing. I'm so proud of you, my son."
"Thanks, mom, for everything. I wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for you or Dad," Wood replied warmly with all his heart. Rosiepuff nodded and left to check on Primrose.
Meanwhile, Primrose was with Joy and the rest of the bridesmaids as she examined herself in the mirror. The bridesmaids all wore matching sky blue dresses and had their hairs done for the occasion. They were excited and thrilled for the wedding to begin but mostly happy for their friend. Three days ago, she was the winner of the singing competition. Today, she'll marry her one and only true love any moment now.
"You're so gorgeous, Primrose!" Joy gleefully said.
"Wood's a lucky guy," Rhythm commented.
"Thanks, girls!" Primrose gratefully said. She was wearing her wedding dress that Silkie proudly made to match her: it was a beautiful yet simple sleeveless, white dress decorated with light blue flowers around her waist and collar. She also wore a tiara made from primroses, white slippers, the locket that Wood gave her when he proposed, and held a bouquet of blue roses and daisies. "Silkie, you really outdone yourself. This dress is beyond beautiful!"
"It is, isn't it?" Silkie beamed. "But it's not as beautiful as the bride wearing it." The others agreed with her, which made Primrose blush.
"And how's our bride looking today?" The girls turned to see Rosiepuff coming in, greeting her with smiles on their faces.
"Almost done. Is the groom ready?" Joy asked.
"He's nervous, but if I know Wood, and I do, he's willing to go on with this to his heart's content," Rosiepuff gladly stated. "Could you girls excuse us for a few moments?"
"Sure thing. We'll be waiting for you and I'll get Peppy for your escort, Prim," Joy added. "Come on, girls! Time to get into position."
"Thanks, Joy! I'm eternally gratefully for all you've done for me," Primrose said.
"What are friends for? Glad to help!" Joy replied before leaving the two trolls alone together.
"Oh, Primrose. I've never thought I live to see this day. I still can't believe it's your wedding day already. Time sure flies fast," Rosiepuff softly said.
Primrose sighed. "I know. But maybe it's for the best. We'll never know how much time we have before the next...you know." Rosiepuff nodded, understanding what she meant. Trolls fear every year for Trollstice because the holiday happens in a different day and month each year. Which is why the trolls enjoy every single moment they have together with all their friends and families. "If only my parents were here to see me today."
"I'm so sorry about your parents," Rosiepuff sincerely said, giving her condolences.
"Thank you."
"But I'm sure that they're watching you right now, just as my husband and everyone who has been lost to us over these last years. And I have a feeling that they're proud of you just as I am."
Primrose smiled. "Thank you, Rosiepuff. You know, after today, I'll officially become part of your family and you'll become my mother in law." She then held Rosiepuff's hands. "But to me, you and Wood were always my family even before today and I'll always think of you as my mother."
Rosiepuff made a warm smile, her eyes becoming misty with tears and then gave Primrose a loving hug and Primrose returned the action.
Primrose broke the hug as she recalled everything she'll need for the wedding. "Okay, I've got something new. That's my new locket Wood proposed me with. Something borrowed are these slippers from Joy. Somethings blue are these lovely blue roses on my bouquet. Now I just need something old."
Rosiepuff thought for a moment and then got an idea. "Wait here." Rosiepuff said before going out the door. A few minutes had passed before Rosiepuff returned to the room, holding something in her hand. "Open your hands."
Primrose held our her opened hands as Rosiepuff placed something in them. When Primrose what it was, she gasped. In her hand was an old photo of Rosiepuff possibly taken a few years ago. "It's wonderful."
"Wood took my picture a few years back to have as a keepsake. So, when I told him about you having it, he agreed with me," Rosiepuff explained. "You can put it in your locket so that you'll always have me wherever you go. I want you to have it because you're precious to our family."
"I don't know what to say. I'll forever cherish it." Primrose shed a couple of tears as she placed the photo inside her locket. "Thanks, Rosiepuff."
"Anything for my family," she replied and they both shared a warm hug. "So, let's get you married."
"I love that idea," Primrose agreed without a doubt.
The wedding ceremony will soon commence and all the trolls have gathered and stayed seated in the bleachers. The alter stood and looked beautifully for all the trolls to see and it truly was a sight to behold with their very eyes. At the alter, Wood stood there, looking proud and happy to be marrying the girl of his dreams. He held his hands together nervously, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
By his side stood Shiningstar while behind them stood DJ Sonic in his blue-green suit, Big Bash in his black suit, and Feather. The glitter troll notices his friend looking like he's about to panic and tried to comfort him. "You're okay, Wood?"
"I'm fine. I'm just a little excited, a little nervous, and a little sick to my stomach," Wood whispered to Shiningstar.
"Good. That means you're ready for this," Shiningstar said. "It's just a shame that Amethyst couldn't make it."
"What happened to her anyway?" Wood wondered why his best friend's girlfriend couldn't come to the wedding.
"Funny story. We were getting ready to leave and then her dress got caught in a twig and it ripped apart. 'It was a disaster' she said. There was no time to get it fixed or to get a new one. I was willing to stay with her even if I missed your wedding. I knew you would understand why I wouldn't come, but she wasn't willing to let me miss the chance to be your best man. So I went for her sake. In a way, I came for both of us."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Wood said. "I'll let Big Bash or some of our friends to take pictures so that she wouldn't miss anything."
"Really? That would be awesome!" Shiningstar smiled.
On the other side, Rhythm, Olivia, and Starlight stood, waiting patiently for the bride with Joy beside them. Rosiepuff sat in the front seat, trying to keep herself from crying while the rest of the trolls sat in the back. Everyone was there, even Thorn and Ivy.
Finally, they initiated the 'Here comes the Bride' song. Everyone stood up as a small troll named Buttercup, whom was chosen to be the flower girl, walked forward with a smile, spreading the rose petals all around the aisle. She had buttercup colored skin, tall, baby blue hair, and purple eyes. She wore a green dress with a pink heart in the middle and a pink bow in her head. Then came the ring bearer, Fuzzwell, a fuzzling with apple green sticking up hair and red legs and feet since his body is not visible, He walked the aisle while holding the rings in his pillow until he later joined Buttercup.
("Wait a minute!")
-Cut back to Branch and friends-
"Fuzzwell and Buttercup? That's Fuzzbert's father and Smidge's mother, aren't they?" Poppy realized, interrupting Branch's storytelling.
"Yes, they are," Branch nodded before saying, "Now please, don't interrupt."
"Sorry," Poppy apologized with a shy grin.
-Back to the wedding-
And at last, everyone gasped and awed as Primrose came in with King Peppy escorting her. Her beautiful dress glimmering brightly in the sunlight, her primrose tiara was adored by the crowd and her bouquet was filled with the blue roses and daisies, symbolizing purity, true love, and new beginnings.
Wood's eyes shone with love and awe as he stared at the beauty that's coming over to him. In a matter of minutes, he would become her husband and she his wife. He couldn't believe that the day he hoped for has finally come and can't imagine the many things they'll do together as a married couple.
Silkie began to cry quietly, but quickly wiped them before Primrose could get there. DJ Sonic, without anyone noticing, put on his headphones since he felt unnatural without them.
"You look amazing, Primrose," King Peppy whispered as they walked.
"Thanks, King Peppy. And thank you for being my escort. I appreciate it," Primrose said.
"It's my pleasure, and Joy's too. You can thank her for it later." They both chuckled silently as they finally reached the altar. With honor and happiness, he lets her go as he proceeded to the altar to be their preacher.
"Dearly beloved, ladies and gentletrolls of all ages!" King Peppy called out to his people and all who are present. "Today is a momentous occasion as we are all gathered here to celebrate the union of two of our dear friends: Primrose and Wood. Their bond of love has grown stronger with each passing day and despite the dangerous times we've been through because of the Bergens, it won't stop us from sharing our love and happiness to others. Their commitment to each other as well as to the other trolls in recognizable and true. They have also shown us that even though we are many, our hearts will always beat as one. May your new life together be blessed with plenty of memorable memories and faithful love. May we have the rings, please?"
Fuzzwell raised his pillow to them. Wood grabs Primrose's ring and held it up as he held up her left hand. "With this ring, I do declare you my wife, my soul mate, my love, for all eternity," he recited, putting the ring on her ring finger.
Primrose's took Wood's ring, and smiling, reciting the same words, "With this ring, I do declare you my husband, my soul mate, my love, for all eternity," She places the ring on his ring finger.
"May we hear the vows you've prepared for each other, please?" Peppy asked.
"Ladies first," Wood insisted.
Primrose giggled. "Okay. Wood," Primrose began, nearly choking on her emotions. "From the day we've first met, you were the light that shone the darkness in my heart away. You are my savior, my guardian, and after today, you'll be my wonderful husband. It was no accident that we've met. It was fate for our love is truly meant to be."
Everyone awed at her words. Some even muffled their squeals of joy while others tried to hold their tears from falling.
"I vow to always stand by your side through the good and bad times, especially the bad times no matter what they'll bring. To never leave you or to turn my back on you, I promise to cherish every moment we'll share and to treat you with respect, compassion, kindness, but most of all, with love. To show you the bright side of every part of life itself and to love you today, tomorrow, and forever-every single day of forever. I love you, Wood, forever and ever."
"Aww!" The crowd went on all at once.
"Oh, here come the waterworks!" Big Bash blubbered before starting to cry with Chester comforting him.
"And now for your vows, Wood," Peppy turned to him, though he, too, was holding some tears after hearing Primrose's sincere words. This ceremony was bringing some memories from his own wedding which was making it hard to control himself from bursting to tears.
"Wow, I guess I have to beat that, don't I?" Wood said, earning a chuckle from Primrose. Chuckles were also heard from their friends and when Wood gazed at his mother who sat in front, her smiling face gave him the courage to speak from his heart. Wood sighed softly and began with a tender smile.
"Primrose, the moment that your angelic voice had led me to you, I have found the missing part of me. Since then, every morning just reminds me of all the wrong dreams I've been chasing all my life until I found the right one: You."
This time, Shiningstar started to sob and even Big bash and Chester who bawled out like a geyser.
"Don't you cry, man! You're making a scene!" DJ Sonic whispered to Shiningstar.
"Speak for yourself! You're crying too!" Shiningstar pointed to his teary eyes. DJ tried to deny it despite the tears already falling.
"The sun is in my eyes!" DJ Sonic lied.
Feather came behind them and handed them both tissues. "Here, blow."
The two trolls took the tissues and blew their noses on them. "Here, Feather." Once they're done, they handed back the used tissues to Feather who looked disgusted.
"Geeee! Thaaanks!" Feather sarcastically replied.
"Okay, we're better," Shiningstar said, wiping his tears and returned to listen Wood's vows again.
"So, today, I'll marry you not because you're someone I can live with, but because you're someone I cannot live without. And if you ever live to be a hundred, I hope that I live to be a hundred minus one day, so I'll never have to live without you."
"AAWWW!" The crowd went on simultaneously once again.
"I vow to encourage you, protect you, inspire you, and to love you truly through good and bad times. I will forever be there to laugh with you, to lift you up when you are down, and to love you unconditionally through all of our adventures in life together. I promise to put your needs before mine first, to always think of you wherever I go, and to accomplish one of the greatest streaks any troll wishes to pursue – to tell you 'I love you' every single day for the rest of our lives. I love you, Primrose, and I'll always love you in any form, always more and never less."
After hearing the vows, many trolls wither cried or struggled to cry. Rosiepuff was practically wiping her tears with a handkerchief. It was then that King Peppy took the honor in closing in the ceremony.
"Finally, it is my deep pleasure and sacred duty, to ask you this, Wood. Do you take Primrose to be your lawfully wedded wife? To honor, love, support and cherish her, through sickness and poor, til death do you part?"
"Forever and always, I do," Wood replied as he stared into Primrose's eyes, not regretting one bit of his answer.
"And do you, Primrose, take Wood, to be your lawfully wedded husband? To honor, love, support and cherish him, through sickness and poor, til death do you part?"
"Forever and always, I do," Primrose surely replied, trying to hold back her tears.
"Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you Troll and wife! You may now kiss the bride!" Peppy loudly declared.
Wood happily bent his head and pressed his lips firmly against Primrose's. In a deep, passionate kiss. And in an instant, he wrapped his arm around her waist and spun his new wife around, their lips still locked in a kiss. Everyone applauded for the newly wedded couple even Big Bash and Chester while crying their eyes and hearts out. But nobody could be happier than Primrose and Wood, for their love and new life together was sealed with a kiss.
At the wedding reception, everyone gathered in the village square where everything was prepared for the party. Several large table filled with treats and food were set up along with mushroom seats, another table had many presents for the newly weds given by their various friends and loved ones, a stage was also there for music and DJ's stereo system just for everyone to dance and sing to their hearts content, and finally, the wedding cake stood ever so beautiful for everyone to enjoy later. Some trolls were looking at it very hungrily, but Big Bash was there to make sure nobody get dibs before the couple.
In the dance floor, Wood and Primrose shared their first dance together as DJ Sonic played melodious and romantic music. Everyone enjoyed seeing this lovely sight, especially Rosiepuff who held her happy tears at bay. The two trolls gently waltz, holding on to each other and exchanging loving looks. Once they've finished, Wood then went to DJ Sonic and asked him for a microphone for he has a special treat for his wife. DJ nodded and lend him one.
"Good evening, everyone. We just want to thank you all for coming to our wedding. It truly means a lot to us to have all of you here today at our wedding to bless our new beginning together," Wood said which everyone clapped their hands. "And now, I would like to sing a special song to my lovely bride, the one troll I'll be sharing my life with and whom I'll never stop loving." Wood then placed his eyes on her, "My beautiful flower, this is for you. Feel free to join in." As DJ Sonic and the rest of their friends played their instruments, Wood began to sing.
Once in a lifetime
Means there's no second chance
So I believe that you and me
Should grab it while we can
The tone of his voice, the harmonic rhythm of his lyrics, all of this is making Primrose feel lighter than air. His singing is so magnificent, but why stop there? His voice is beautiful but when joined with her own, their song becomes unforgettably magical. Grabbing an extra mic from DJ, she joined in on the next lyric.
Make it last forever
And never give it back
[Wood:]
It's our turn, and I'm lovin' where we're at
[Both:]
Because this moment's really all we have
Wood, staring into twinkling sky blue eyes, took a few steps towards her as he continued. Primrose did the same.

Mere feet away, Primrose stretched out her hand which Wood gently grasps and pulls her to him.
[Wood:]
Together we will celebrate
[Primrose:]
Celebrate
[Both:]
Oh, everyday
At that moment, DJ Sonic turn up the volume and beat as other trolls started playing upbeat music from playing their instruments from piano to trumpets to drums. Shiningstar, Chester and Rhythm bobbed their heads to the beat while the crowd either cheered and/or clapped their hands. Wood and Primrose sang their respective lyrics as they danced along, following their steps and moving in synchronizing style.
[Primrose:]
They say that you should follow
[Wood:]
And chase down what you dream
[Primrose:]
But if you get lost and lose yourself
[Wood:]
What does is really mean?
[Primrose:]
Oh, no matter where we're going

King Peppy, Queen Joy, and Rosiepuff watched how much fun those two were having. It made Rosiepuff's heart melt at the happiness her son was expressing. This is their night. Truly they are the one for each other.
"I said this before and I'll say it again: Those two are the perfect for each other," Joy stated.
"I couldn't agree with you more, Joy," Rosiepuff agreed.
"They sure remind me of us when we got married, don't they, sunshine?" Peppy said to his queen.
"Oh, you!" She teased and gave him a peck on his cheek before turning her gaze at the singing couple. "I'm just so happy for them, I could just melt!"
[Primrose:]
Oh, everyday
[Wood:]
We're taking it back

[Primrose:]
Wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight
[Wood:]

It was then that every troll sang the next verse along the couple in chorus, singing in joyful happiness.

The couple ended their song with them staring at each other and embracing themselves in a romantic hug. All the trolls clapped and cheered for them as Shiningstar and Rhythm joined DJ Sonic in the stage.
"Now we know that they are feeling the love tonight, right, y'all?" Shiningstar commented which everyone agreed. "Let's give a round of applause for our dear Wood and Primrose for their wonderful spectacle!" They all applauded and cheered for them which made them chuckle slightly, feeling proud.
"So, is everyone ready for some musical fun on the dance floor?" Rhythm cried out. She received her answer when every troll cheered. She then joined happily by DJ Sonic's side as he began to play the DJ. "Then, let's get this party started!"
As the music started playing, Rhythm passed a mic to Joy who stood up the stage and began to sing for all to hear.
[Joy:]
The magic feeling, it's growing so strong,
Always leads me to a place where I belong.
Shiningstar gladly took the next verse where he glanced at the couple and gave them a smile and a wink.
[Shiningstar:]
Won't go away, never let me down,
I've got the greatest friends that ever could be found.
It was then that all their friends joined them and sang together. Wood and Primrose believed that this was a way for their friends to congratulate for their wedding and this is their gift for them. This song remind them of not only the happiness and friendship of the trolls, but also their unity and world.
[All:]
Across every river, behind every tree,
On top of every mountain, never apart from you and me!
All the trolls rushed into the dance floor where they all danced and sang to their hearts content. Primrose and Wood didn't waste any second and danced side by side, holding hands every now and then. Even King Peppy and Rosiepuff, despite her age, joined along in the fun.
[All:]
One world
[Joy:]
One world - now and forever!
[All:]
Best friends
[Joy:]
Best friends, loyal and true!
[All:]

[Shiningstar:]

Each heart
[Joy:]
Each heart, beating as one!
[All:]
We live
[Shiningstar:]
We live, always together;
[All:]
Sharing the same bright sun!
You & Me & Everyone!
Rhythm then took over the next verse which DJ Sonic eagerly joined her as they sang in a duet. Sometimes, they exchanged stares, indicating their deep bond for one another.
[Rhythm:]
They dance like water, they sing like the wind,
They're always with me every day that I begin.
[DJ Sonic:]
They shine like fire, they chill like ice,
They take on any challenge, make any sacrifice.
[All:]
Across every river, behind every tree,
On top of every mountain, never apart from you and me!
[All:]
One world
[Rhythm:]
One world - now and forever!
[All:]
Best friends
[Rhythm:]

[Rhythm:]
Each heart, beating as one!
[All:]
We live
[DJ Sonic:]

[All:]
Sharing the same bright sun!
You & Me & Everyone!
Rhythm took her chance and stole a kiss from DJ, whom was taken by surprise but accepted then kiss and smiled back at her. They nuzzled noses as they returned to their fun.
Every troll were amazed by how well Wood and Primrose danced together. Holding hands, doing flips and twirls, and even spinning and freestyle like they're in a talent show of some sorts. Trolls gathered around them to see them in action.
Everyone was having so much fun and it was so spectacular and crazy that even King Peppy had every troll pick him up and surf him around the crowd, much to Joy's enjoyment.
[All:]
One world
[Joy:]
One world...
[All:]

Once they've finished, Wood then looked at his new wife with love in his eyes. "So Primrose, is this everything you ever wanted?"
"Not quite everything" She kindly answered, staring at his bright green eyes with love as well.
Wood smiled as they locked themselves in another deep kiss, but this time as a married couple while everyone clapped their hands. "Ready to go?" Wood asked once they stopped their moment.
"Go where?" Primrose wondered.
"Anywhere you want. We have the rest of the night as well as our lives to explore. However, I've already set up a little something for us to enjoy in a, oh say, familiar place," He coyly smirked.
She giggled, knowing Wood for making romantic moments and settings for the two of them. "I don't care where we'll go as long as I'm with you all the way."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Wood smiled, caressing her cheek before kissing her lips softly.
"But how about some dessert to go?" Joy came between the two.
"Of course!" Primrose nodded rapidly. But as Joy led Primrose and Wood towards the wedding cake, Joy look up and gasped. "Chester! What are you doing?"
Their llama troll friend Chester looked up guiltily, his mouth full of frosting and icing. "I'm not eating cake," he denied.
The two trolls snickered. Seriously, did he thought that they were born yesterday? The evidence was clearly in his face, literally. "Chester..." Joy grinned.
"But it's delicious! It's a chocolate cake!" Chester protested like a little child.
"And it's Wood and Primrose's," Joy added gently.
"And it's Wood and Primrose's," Chester gave in, knowing not to disagree with Joy. He spit out the cake from his mouth and place it back on the cake, making his friends grimaced in disgust.
"Uh, how about you take that layer for yourself, Chester, while we take the upper layer? Sounds good?" Wood offered.
"Really?" Chester hopefully asked. The trolls nodded their heads. "Oh, Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Chester jumped up and down and then took a huge bite of the cake.
After taking some cake for themselves, it was time for the throwing of the bouquet. All the girl trolls gathered around and eagerly waited for Primrose to throw. Without wasting any moment, Primrose turns her back on the crowd and and threw her bouquet backwards and into the air. The girls saw it and attempted to grab it, only for the bouquet to land in Rhythm's arms, who was surprised by this. She turn to see DJ Sonic by her side. Both trolls stared and softly smiled before nuzzling at each other.
The newlyweds then walked towards a special carriage where it was being pulled by flying critters where they got in after packing up their gifts and leftover cake. As the carriage took off, the couple waved to the cheering trolls and friends.
"Best. Wedding. EVER!" Shiningstar shouted out as he waved at Wood and Primrose as they drove away towards their honeymoon.
-In the Present-
"That was the most beautiful wedding story I've ever heard!" Poppy cried, wiping some happy tears from her eyes.
"Yes, and there's still more to go from there. Practically half way to go," Branch added.
"Your parents must have had quite a time at the party," Guy Diamond implied. "A party like that must have gone through the night."
"True that, Guy. Though my parents wanted the rest of the night for just the two of them."
"So, what happens next?" Poppy eagerly asked.
"Alright. Let's see..." Branch mumbled on, trying to recall where he left off. "Wedding, reception, singing, more singing...Aha! Now I remember! Later that night, after they left the reception, my parents went back to their favorite tree. It was the warmest night the forest ever had and...uh...Okay, let's skip that part!"
"What?!" Poppy and Guy Diamond became shocked. "But why?"
"It's just... not important," Branch shrugged.
"For something not important, you sure are making quite a big deal from it," Poppy assumed. "What's going on?"
Branch sighed heavily, scratching the back of his head nervously. "It's complicated." He saw their faces as if they're not buying it. Rolling his eyes, he continued. "Okay, the next part is what adult would say 'not G rated'". Branch indicated by doing quotation marks with his fingers. "It explains how my parents, uh, well...made...me."
"Oh." Poppy replied until she realized what he meant. "Oh!"
"Yeah," Branch turns his head in embarrassment. "If you want me to skip this, it's fine with me."
"Oh, Branch. We're more than twenty years old! We can handle a little inner knowing," Poppy assured. "Besides, it's natural, ain't it?"
"Well, yeah, but..."
"Please, Branch! We want to know everything!" Guy Diamond pleaded.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you, but don't say I didn't warned you. After this, you'll never be the same again," Branch warned before he narrated the next scene. "Listen carefully and my words will shake images as clear as any Bergen TV show. It was the warmest night the forest ever had that spring and my parents went to their special tree for a romantic evening to celebrate the start of their new life."
-Back in the Past-
After the reception, the carriage took Primrose and Wood to their willow tree under Wood's instructions. When it stopped, Wood escorted her down and showed her what he had prepared for them. There was a beautiful majestic tent under the tree where a trail of rose petals leads to the inside, small lanterns were hung around the tree, and a small record player was placed on a stone.
Primrose gasped, enchanted by all around her. "You did this all for me?"
"No," Wood shook his head. "For us. This will be the beginning of our new life and I wanted this night to be perfect."
"Oh, Wood. You always find a way to make our moments unforgettable and wonderful," she held him in a hug as did he. "What did I do to deserve you?"
"You made me happy and for just being you," Wood replied softly, kissing her head. When he let go, he walked towards the record player. He puts the needle in place and cranked the little handle to make it play. A beautiful romantic music started to play as it echoed around them. "Would you like to dance, my beautiful wife?" He offered his hand.
Primrose smiled. "It would be my greatest honor, my wonderful husband." She took his hand happily. Wood places an arm around her waist as she places her hand on his shoulder and they begin to dance. She sighed in content, leaning her head against Wood's chest which he enjoys.
"You know what it'll make this dance even more marvelous?" Wood implied.
"What?" She wondered.
He gently held rubbed her cheek with the back of his hand. "If it is followed by a beautiful song from an angel like you."
She sighed blissfully. "Anything for my love." As the music continued to play, she let the rhythm give her inspiration to find the perfect lyrics. Finally, she began to sing as she separated from him.
Two hopeful hearts
Two lands apart
Together there's no end to what our dream can start
Like two eagles
Soar as one upon the river of the wind
With the promise of forever
We will take the past and learn how to begin
And we'll build a bridge of love
Between two worlds
Wood listened to her song. She truly has the most angelic voice he'd ever heard. Now she's his wife and will have the privilege to hear her every now and then for years to come. Smiling, he took her hands and gently waltz her around as he sang the next verse.
With every kiss, we'll promise this
We'll find a way to light the dawn of all we wish
Across the stream of stars
We'll reach an island in the sky
With the moon to guide our way
I know that we can find a home for you and I
And we'll build a bridge of love
Between two worlds
The two trolls began to stroll around the tree as various critters from the forest began to hum or sing in harmony.
[Both:]
Miles and miles away
[Primrose:]
Though the journey takes us far
Our love has found a place to stay
He grabs her and with his hair, lifted themselves onto a branch of the tree as they walked across, singing harmoniously through their song while holding hands as they danced. Not a moment has gone by where they haven't gazed upon their faces.
[Wood:]
If we believe
[Primrose:]
If we believe
[Wood:]
There is no sea
[Primrose:]
There is no sea
[Both:]
That's wide enough to keep us from our destiny
[Primrose:]
Like the snows of every winter melt
And blossom into spring
[Wood:]
As the seasons pass we'll live as one
[Primrose:]
No matter what the years ahead may bring
They gazed upon the moon when it came to view and Wood surprised Primrose with placing a blue flower into her hair which she blushed in result.
[Wood:]
No night is long enough
[Primrose:]
To end this light that shines on us
[Both:]
We have built a bridge of love
Between two worlds
Yes, we have built a love
Between two worlds
They finished with a deep kiss on their lips, happy that they have each other in their lives. Once they finished, Wood lifted Primrose up bridal style and gently lowered them down where he took her inside the tent.
Inside was a beautiful pillowed bed, surrounded by rose petals, cushions, and small candles. "You really had planned this out for us for a while now, haven't you?" Primrose assumed.
"Well, if you wanted the night to be perfect, it should end with style and grace." Wood then placed her onto the bed and when he was going to kiss again, she touched his lips with her finger.
"You know what I want now? Some poetic words from someone with the soul of a poet. Like you, perhaps?"
Wood chuckled and smirked. "As you wish, my lady." He cleared his throat as he thought of a poem.
"I've found heaven in your eyes
And for the first time in a very long time,
I could feel the stars within me begin to shine.
And in your smile,
I see something more beautiful than life itself,
Making the whole world stop and stare at you for awhile.
I know you love me
You say it in every kiss
In every smile
In every moment you share with me
You know I love you
I say it in every touch
In every hug
In every second we're together
Every time we're apart
I say it from inside my heart
'Cause all I ever do
Is want to tell you that I love you."
Primrose's eyes were wet with the tears of joy that threatened to fall. It was the most beautiful thing she'd ever heard and even more beautiful knowing that it came from her new husband. "Oh, that was beautiful, Wood! I love it!"
"But not as much as I love you," Wood replied, holding her cheek.
He leaned forward and kissed her lips slowly, holding her head closer. Primrose allowed their kiss go from a smooch into a deep, passionate kiss where their tongues battle for dominance. She hook her arms around his neck as his arms wrapped around her waist and head, his fingers brushing through her pink locks.
As they locked themselves in a kiss war, Wood unzipped her dress from her back as she began to undress him in return. Suit off, tiara's off, shoes thrown out, dress removed, pants off, and finally, the last of their clothes stripped off, leaving only their bare bodies until they've covered themselves in a blanket as they continued their session.
(A/N: Once again, I warn any young readers that there will be rated M material! So, be prepared or skip this if you must!)
They knew what they were getting into, but they didn't care a bit. They love each other both heart and soul, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whatever happens, they'll get through it together.
Wood kept Primrose pinned to the bed with his body, kissing her hard, while his hands roamed her body, memorizing every curve, every little detail of her. Primrose was no different for her hands roamed across Wood's bare chest, feeling every muscle while demanding more and more by the minute.
Every second that goes by, their need for one another grew drastically. Wood faced Primrose once they stopped. "Are you ready? Think you can handle it?"
"Ready when you are. I'll let you know if I don't, which might be unlikely," Primrose assured.
Wood grinned and whispered. "Hold on." She understood that the first time's always a bit painful at first but it then turns into pure pleasure, at least that's what she's been told before.
They kissed a bit more until Primrose bit her lip while holding back a small gasp as she felt Wood entering her. She let out a weak moan and grabbed onto Wood, who held her tightly in his embrace. During their session, Wood sometimes exchanged comforting words, though she's more focused on the growing bliss she felt. They kissed once more, their arms still holding onto one another.
The two continued on through the night with no interruptions until they fell asleep way after midnight.
-In the Present-
Poppy and Guy Diamond listened on but judging from their faces, they were stunned and shocked as well as traumatized and disgusted.
"Eww! Ugh! Gross!" Guy Diamond grimaced covering his ears, not wanting to hear more, his eyes shut tightly while sticking his tongue out. "I think I'm going to be sick," He said, holding his mouth before he could throw up.
"Yeesh!" Poppy shuddered as Branch explained the process while sometimes doing hand movements to demonstrate a bit clearly. "Did you have to be so graphic?"
"What did I tell you?" Branch arched an eyebrow with a smirk. "Where did you think baby trolls come from?"
"From flowers?" Guy Diamond replied.
Branch slapped his forehead, shaking his head. "You have a lot to learn. But it's okay. They teach us these things at school and if they don't, life has a way of biting us in the butt. Just wait when it does happen to you, Guy!"
"I hope it's not for another twenty years," Guy hoped. Poppy and Branch laughed at their friend's answer.
Hope you like it! Happy Valentine's Day to y'all!
