I do not own trolls. Dreamworks has all rights. First three chapters are a fanfic of a fanfic; Lone Concert originally by Dawnbuneary. The story has been dead since 2017 and I decided to pick it backup so here is my take on this trollverse. Hope you enjoy.
Before the trolls could celebrate any further the pots started to rumble. Branch took a defensive stance around Poppy while Spruce and Brandy brought their children into the center of the small group to stand with their grandfather and grandmother that Brab and Carol were guarding. Clay, Floyd, and JD went to the King and Queen to make sure that they were safe. "No. This is it, Mr. Dinkles. This is it." Everyone could hear Biggie say as he squeezed Mr. Dinkles desperately. None of the trolls were screaming; they just held tightly to their loved ones as they were soon to meet their end. Then the pink troll heard a familiar voice she was not expecting. "Poppy!" It was their Bergan friend. "Bridget?" Poppy asked, confused. "What are you doing?" Why was she helping them? "I can't let them eat you." Bridget explained. She had brought the pot outside of the castle and turned it over to its side so all the trolls could escape. "But…" Poppy tried to say knowing full well just how much trouble Bridget can get in for this. "Come on! You gotta go! Hurry! Go, go, go! Get out of here!" Bridget selflessly said making every troll got out of that pot and away from the palace safely. "No! Bridget, if you go in there without us, you know what they'll do." Poppy could not let her friend do this and ruin her life. "I know." Bridget said with a smile. "But, Bridget…" Poppy tried to argue but the little Bergan would not let her. "It's okay. It's okay, Poppy. You showed me what it feels like to be happy. I never would have known if it wasn't for you. And I love you for that." Poppy ran and hugged the Bergan girl's finger upon hearing this. "I love you too, Bridget."
Suddenly their attention was drawn to the Chef who was shouting for the scullery maid "Bridget!" Bridget turned back to Poppy scooting her out of the door. "Go on, now. You have to hurry!" She sait quickly. "Come with us." She tried to convince Bridget to save herself. "And make it easier for them to find you? No way! You have to go. Now!" Bridget begged as they heard Chef shouting for her again. "Bye, Poppy." Was the last thing she said to her little troll friend. Branch grabbed Poppy's arm and led her to follow all the other trolls.
"Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!" All of Bergan Town chanted excitedly to finally be happy again. The King was looking around for his special lady to still show but he could not see her. Much to his disappointment. "Wait! Chef, shouldn't we wait for Lady Glittersparkles?" He asked hopefully. "You are absolutely right. Now, everyone, there will be no Trolls until. The king's plus one has arrived." Said in a way to make the entire town angry. They have waited for two decades to be happy again. They did not want to wait another minute. "Boo! We've waited long enough!" They shouted. "Unless…" The Chef whispered. Knowing full well that Bridget wasn't going to show herself and tell him the truth. She was sure of it and now all she needed to do was place doubt in the king's mind. "Unless, what?" He asked nervously. "Well, unless she doesn't come at all. But that's crazy talk. Who wouldn't wanna be with you?" She said, with a wicked grin. She didn't care if his little naive heart got broken. That didn't go along with her plan. And her pan was all that mattered. The king looked down sadly thinking that maybe it was too good to be true and he shouldn't be selfish with the rest of his subjects here. "Yeah. Maybe we should start." This pleased the rest of the town as they started chanting again. "Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Yeah!"
Little did the Bergans know that the trolls had made it to the Troll Tree with little to no problem with every Bergan being in the palace waiting to eat nothing. "Go! Come on. Hurry! Come on." Branch said whispering hoping to draw the attention of the Bergans in the castle. He and Poppy stayed by the entrance until every troll made it in the tunnels. But the Snack Pack and Branch's siblings were at the entrance as well but in the tunnels to help others in. They just got their brother back no way were they going to leave him behind again. "Everybody, let's go. No Troll left behind!" Poppy said as she held a torch and watched Branch help some trolls down. "Watch your step." Branch said, making sure no one got hurt escaping. He then noticed Poppy looking back at the palace. He began to worry about her knowing how hard it was for her to leave Bridget behind. "Poppy?" She turned to him. "Bridget just ruined her life to save ours. It's not right! She deserves to be happy as much as we do. They all do!" Branch knew that look in her eyes she had a plan. "Ok. What are you going to do about it?" Branch asked. "Probably something stupid." Poppy said with a confident smile. "Ok. But you've already done that." Branch said teasingly. Poppy thought about it for a moment. "Then something crazy." She answered, causing Branch to smile. "That's more like it. I'm with you till the end." He told her, causing her to feel better about her decision; smiling at her boyfriend.
Flyod noticed that the last of the trolls have entered the tunnels but Poppy and Branch still haven't. But he wasn't the only one JD did too. "Hey Bitty B. Poopyseed. Come on. What's the hold up?" He asked the couple with the rest of their siblings and the Snack Pack to follow. "Poppy has a plan." Branch said and that was all the Snack Pack needed to follow her lead. Brozone seemed to see this and they all had turned to Branch. "Hey whatever you are thinking." Spruce started. "We are with you till the end." Clay finished. Branch smiled at his siblings. Sure he may not completely forgive them just yet but they were trying and for now that was enough. "Really?" Branch said hopeful. "Yeah little bro. We got you." Barb said giving Branch and unnecessary noogie. While he straightened his hair back out Spruce took this opportunity to stick his finger in his mouth and then put it in Branch's ear. "Wet Willie." Spruce said laughing, causing everyone else to chuckle too. "Seriously, that is disguisting. I am a grown up." Branch said annoyed. "Sorry, a wet william." Flyod walked up to their youngest member and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"All joking aside, we are with you till the end. We already missed so much Branch. You've become a man. And we weren't there for you. We don't want to miss anything else in your life." Branch smiled at this and Poppy was about to burst from excitement from the scene before her. "Thanks guys." The whole Brozone family gave one big group hug with one another. "Alright Poppy what's the plan?" Branch asked as he left the hug and headed towards his girlfriend. "Well I'm not quite sure you're gonna like it." Poppy said with a smirk. "Oh really after everything we've gone through, try me." Branch said, smuggly. "Ok but it involves a lot of singing, dancing, and hugging." Poppy said with a laugh. Branch's smile dropped. "You're being serious aren't you?" Branch said with a deadpan face. "Yep." Poppy said, causing the rest of the group to chuckle when Branch gave her a loving sigh right before she got into explaining to them what her idea was.
Back at the castle the Bergans could hardly wait for the trolls to be served. The Chef was basking in the cheers of her fellow Bergans ready for her plan to finally come to an end. She is so close she can taste it. And she was going to milk this glory for all that it is worth. "All right, everybody. Who's ready to eat Trolls? King Gristle. There is only one thing that will ever make you happy. And only one Bergen who can provide it. Bon appetit!" She said with as much flare as she could possibly provide. But when she lifted the lid to the pot to reveal the trolls she was met by a very aggravating surprise. "They're gone!" Someone shouted. Forcing the Chef to look down into the pot. "Gone? They're gone?" The Chef then grew angry and turned to the last person who was left in charge of the trolls. "Idget… What did you do? You ate them! You greedy, greedy pig." Chef said, spitting accusations at the poor girl. "No! I…" Bridget tried to defend herself but the Chef managed to turn the whole kingdom on her in a single instant. "She ruined Trollstice!" Bridget tried to find her voice but was becoming more and more scared. "Guards, lock her up!" The Chef hollard. "Let's get her!" The head guard said to his troops.
And what was King Gristle doing during this whole ordeal. He was thinking about Lady Glittersparkles until the attention was focused on the scullery maid. She seemed familiar to him and then he realized that he never really paid much mind to her before. Has she always been that pretty? Then all the Bergans' attention were drawn to a loud noise of the doors slamming open. Then Bridget saw Poppy and her friends riding to her on her dollar skate that she did not lose. The trolls launched themselves into the air and jumped out of the shoe. Bridget knew what they were going to do so she braced herself for the impact that was soon to land on her head.
As soon as the trolls were on her Bridget stepped into the dollar skate and started spinning. Poppy and the other trolls grew their hair like before and when the spinning stopped it revealed. The lovely. "Lady Glittersparkles?" The king was confused when he said these words. "What? But how? Why?" He said as we went towards his beloved. "Why did you do this?" She asked meekly which only caused him to look at her with worry and more confusion. "Because she didn't think you would want someone like her." Poppy explained. "I mean, hello? Is it me you're looking for? I don't think so." This broke Gristle's heart. The love of his life was here in front of him this whole time and he never bothered to look up and see her.
The Chef saw her plans slowly fall apart in front of her eyes. She needed to put a stop to this immediately. "Guards, finish her!" King Gristle stepped in front of Bridget. "No!" He shouted at the guards. "Wait! King Gristle, when you were with Bridget, you were feeling something, weren't you?" Poppy asked, trying to make a point. "Yeah, I was. I just thought it was too much pizza." He said, causing Bridget to turn to him with a smile. "Me, too." Poppy then explained. "That feeling? That was happiness." The Bergans were shocked by this. "What?" They gasped. "But you have to eat a Troll to be happy. Everyone knows that! Don't you?" He said now not completely sure if that was true or not. "But King Gristle's never eaten a Troll in his life, right?" Poppy explained.
King Gristle knew that the pink troll was right and he looked lovingly at his beloved. Ready to tell her what he should have a long time ago. "No, I haven't. Yet, here I am. My belly empty. And my heart full." Bridget felt as though her heart was going to burst. This was really happening. But the Chef could not let her twenty years of planning go down the drain like that. "Don't listen to her! There's only one way to be happy. My way!" She said demandingly. As she flew her fist on the table with all the trolls on it. Forcing Branch to be shot up into her grasp. "No!" Poppy yelled. She had just gotten him back. If it wasn't for her he never would be in this situation living his worst fear. She can't lose him!
Chef was on a crazed rampage with Branch clenched in her fist she stalks her way to Gristle and shoves him down to sit. Hitting his head with a wooden spoon to open his mouth. She placed Branch on the King's tongue and he did everything in his power to not let his reflexes take over to close his mouth and swallow. With me in charge. I'll serve you Troll every day of the year. With me as queen. All of life will be a never-ending feast of happiness! Come on, eat! Eat!" She screamed in front of the entire town. Branch had the look of fear on his face as he tried to back away from his impending doom. King Gristle could not hold his mouth open much longer and started to waver. Poppy could not sit by and watch as the love of her life be eaten. Not after everything they've been through.
"No!" Poppy screamed as she dove towards Branch, saving him from that horrifying fate. "Happiness isn't something you put inside. It's already there. Sometimes you just need someone to help you find it." Poppy explained, holding onto Branch with all of her strength afraid to lose him again. "Can I really be happy?" A Bergan asked. "I want to be happy! And me!" Said another. "And what about me?" And then another. "Do you really think I can be happy?" A Bergan asked hopefully. "Of course! It's inside you! It's inside of all of us! And I don't think it. I feel it!" Poppy did what she does best and she started to sing. Branch, Barb, and the rest of Brozone were ready to join in when the Snack Pack started to dance to the beat.
I got this feeling inside my bones
It goes electric wavy when I turn it on
And if you want it inside your soul
Just open up your heart let music take control
I've got that sunshine in my pocket
It was Branch's turn to take over and the Snack Pack stepped aside for the six siblings to take over the next few lines.
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops
I can't take my eyes up off it moving so phenomenally
The room on lock the way we rock it
So don't stop
Poppy was fangirling just a little bit. Her favorite band was finally back together singing right in front of her and they sounded amazing. Not only that but her favorite band member was also her boyfriend! Best day ever!
Under the lights, when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm getting you close
Can't stop, won't stop
When we move well you already know
Let's go, let's work
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
At this point Barb got her guitar out to add a little more rock to this song. Adding a bit of her style into this number.
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feel the good-good creeping up on you so just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do but you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leaving soon so keep dancing
The Snack Pack started to help all the Bergans to dance to the music. And it seemed they were really starting to get into it.
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So keep dancing, come on
Yeah, I can't stop the…
The Chef was furious at this turn of events. She tried to attack Poppy and Branch. Who were being guarded protectively by the Brozone family. The Snack Pack decided to join in the fight. Cooper and D shot lemon juice into her eyes so she could not see. "My eyes!" She shouted as she stumbled around the dancing Bergans. "Let's do it!" Satin and Chenille said to each other as they tripped the Chef so she would land into the troll pot. With the force of her landing the pot started moving towards the now open doors and Chez the Jazz oh so lovingly lit the bottom of the pot on fire. As the Chef and Creek screamed for their lives on their way out of Bergan Town.
I can't stop the...
I can't stop the...
I can't stop the...
I can't stop the...
I can't stop the...
I can't stop the feeling
All the other trolls that escaped had come back to stand by their princess and try to make peace with their lifelong enemies. Because maybe if they didn't have to eat them to be happy then maybe they wouldn't have to live in fear anymore.
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
Feel the good creeping up on you so just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
All those things I shouldn't do but you dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
And ain't nobody leaving soon so keep dancing
The palace started to feel like a proper party and they just could not contain themselves that they just had to move this celebration outside. Everyone headed to the Troll Tree and the joy and happiness that was in the air color came to the dull town and started to light up. The Troll Tree once bare and dead came back to life and bloomed in an instant. It was a truly beautiful sight.
I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body
I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body
I can't stop the feeling
Wanna see you move your body
I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on
Everyone was gathered around the Troll Tree and the mushroom that sat underneath it. King Peppy and Queen Viva brought their daughter out for all to see. "Our new queen!" They said together as they crowned her. Everyone Bergans and Trolls alike cheered for her. Her friends were some of the loudest in the crowd. "Go, Queen Poppy!" Guy Diamond shouted next to his husband Synthx and with their son Tiny. "Way to go, Poppy!" DJ Suki said with her niece CJ on her hip. "You did it!" Smidge shouted as she was wrapped in Milton's arms lovingly. "Alright, Queen Poppy!" Cooper and D shout together. "She's my friend! I know her!" Biggie said excitedly. Causing the Snack Pack to jokingly roll their eyes.
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feeling
So keep dancing, come on
Branch went on the mushroom to join Poppy in her big moment. She looked at him extremely excited. "I know it's not officially hug time yet, but." He said with his arm open. "Now that I am queen, I decree that hug time is all the time." She said jokingly as she gave her boyfriend a hug. Then he said something she was not expecting. "I can't believe you're queen. You're going to do great." He told her honestly. She felt like she was going to cry tears of joy.
I can't stop the...
I can't stop the...
I can't stop the feeling Yeah! Yeah!
Got this feeling in my body
I can't stop the feeling
Got this feeling in my body, come on
"Way to go Bitty B. You and Poppyseed really make a great team." JD said bringing his brother into a hug. "She's alright." Barb said staring at Poppy was actually in the conversation that was happening. "Congrats that's the closest Barb gets to saying she likes someone." Clay told Poppy who looked at the girl in shock. "Really?" She said in surprise. "Yeah you should have seen her when they first met my wife Brandy." Spruce said. "Wait, you're married?" Branch asked. "Oh yeah there is a lot to catch you up on and there is a lot you need to catch us up on." Flyod said as they made their way off the mushroom. Barb and Poppy stayed back a bit. "Hey, want to be best friends?" Poppy asked sincerely. Barb just looked at her like she was nuts. "Are you making fun of me? You don't just become best friends like that." She said as she snapped her fingers. "It takes time of mutual care and respect. You don't just become best friends." Barb said, ranting. "Well then do you want to take the time to become best friends?" Poppy asked awkwardly. Barb just stared at her for a moment. "Sure." She said, causing Poppy to finally relax. The two went off the mushroom to join the others.
Poppy knew that this whole Queen thing was not going to be easy but as long as she had Branch by her side she knew that she could handle any challenges that come their way. Things were going to be better. Branch knew it. He could feel it. Now there was still stuff he needed to work out with his family and even with Poppy but it was all going to be ok. He just has this feeling in his body. Yeah.
Ok. Sorry for the delay but I just want to make sure that they end holds up to the rest of the story. And we have one more chapter to go. After reading all this you're probably thinking what else is there? Well my favorite part is always the aftermath so we will one chapter dealing with that so I hope y'all have enjoyed this chapter. Thanks for sticking with me this long!
