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. I should have said this sooner. I originally thought Branch's brothers were going to be voiced by NSYNC so in this I am going with that. Hope you enjoy.
The trolls started a new chapter of life with peace with the Bergans. When all the trolls returned home Branch and Poppy were met with an over-excited Glitz who not only could believe that Branch and Poppy were back together but that Branch had his colors back. Then they noticed that there were also several trolls who looked like Branch and found out that they were Branch's family. Glitz seemed like he was going to burst. He ended up playing with Spruce's children as the adults came up with a plan on what to do next. For those whose homes were destroyed and for the new trolls. Poppy took her new responsibility seriously and she would not have been able to do any of it without the help and support from Branch. Branch has had a hard time finding his new place in life, but with the help from his friends and his loving girlfriend it has made things much easier. They didn't expect him to be like them anymore; they just accepted him as he is. Living his life with his family has been difficult but they understand and except that for Branch it just seemed like he was left all alone and for Branch he needs to accept that as bleak as it is he was just collateral damage in a misfortunite time of life.
On some positive notes. Branch got to meet Carol and was actually dubbed Barbs Bridesmaid at the wedding along with Flyod and Val who was Carol's Bridesmaid. He also found out the Flyod and Val were dating when Val caught the bouquet at the wedding and all of their other brothers were now teasing Flyod. He got to meet Brandy and his twelve nephews and his niece; he still could not believe that he was an uncle now. He also did some bonding with his dad and new step mom. For the time being until Poppy set up houses for all the new trolls Branch offered his very large bunker to his equally large family. They all also helped clean up the mess the entire kingdom made. It was a bit out of Branch's comfort zone to have that many people around for an extended period of time. Also to have so many children running around; Poppy had to help him dispose of all of his traps and to help him restock his supplies. But all joking aside she has actually but a massive help with his anxiety over everything. There were arguing but nothing that couldn't be solved.
Branch's family were all very impressed by the handy work of the bunker and all that Branch has done with his life. They also felt awful about the pain he has been through but they can not change the past, but they can try to rebuild what has been broken and move forward from there. Some trolls who have really helped him with this were Poppy (of course), Suki, Milton, Synthx, Val, and D. These trolls never had an issue with Branch and always wanted to know him better but never really took the time to try. And unfortunately for Branch one of his new friends also caught the eyes of one of his brothers. And to his surprise it was Clay who was known as the funny one but then left to be the serious one but since hanging out with Suki he has found a balance between the two.
It took about five weeks before all the homes were built and Branch's family were the last ones to receive their pods allowing everyone else to get a home first. The one's who stayed in the bunker were Floyd, Clay, and JD. Sometimes when Branch came home he'd find Suki and or Val in the bunker with one of his brothers. It was still a bit odd seeing trolls in the bunker but he got used to it, it was still weird to walk in on one or more of your brothers making out with their girlfriend. It didn't help that they walked in on him and Poppy a few times.
He had joked with her about trying to get Flyod to move in with Val and Clay with Suki and then just have JD in his caterbus. But Poppy did not take that as a joke. Between then and now she somehow managed to speed up the time from the relationships between Flyod and Vex and Clay and Suki. Flyod had confided in Branch and Poppy about wanting to propose to Val a little bit after everyone had moved out. Knowing Poppy she was on it with a second's notice and already a wedding planned that fit the style of the two trolls perfectly and they were married within weeks of the proposal. Clay found himself being asked by Suki per Poppy's suggestion to move in with him at the wedding reception. So both Flyod and Clay had moved out of the bunker after a few more months. Leaving JD the only brother left.
Don't get Branch wrong he loved having his brothers and sister around and the thing that made this a lot easier was that Poppy had built the pods of his family in the tree that is right next to his bunker. And since his home could hold everyone it was also made clear that he would be hosting all the family get-togethers. He also allowed his brothers to come over if they needed or wanted to; he just put a special lock on the bunker without telling anyone. It was strictly used for when he and Poppy needed some alone time. This was one of those times he had kicked JD out for the night so he could make a romantic dinner for his girlfriend and he was preparing a special surprise for her. If he was being honest he was nervous. He was extremely nervous. He heard the lift and he made the last little adjustments he needed to get the night ready. He put his hand into his pocket of a nicer vest than his usually green leafy one and pulled out a ring box. He was ready for this next step in their journey. When he heard that the lift had reached his leave he quickly put the ring box back into his pocket and turned to be met with his visitor. But to his disappointment it was not Poppy it was Barb, Carol, Val, Floyd, Suki, Clay, Brandy, and Spruce. Seriously he only lived with JD why were they all here? How were they all here? Branch then thought back remembering that he had left the bunker unlocked so Poppy could get in.
"Woah, fancy. Baby Bro. Special night?" Spruce asked. Everyone just sat around the table looking at everything. "What are you doing here?" Branch asked nervously. "JD said date night at the bunker. So we figured we all would join. He is currently with Dad and Mom with the 13 gremlins. I mean our lovely children." Brandy said. Truth was she and Spruce haven't had a proper date night in a long while. "Yeah I heard the same thing from Poppy. As she was getting ready." Suki said. "This is a nice thing for you to do. A little date night get-together. This will be fun." Clay said, slapping Branch on his back causing the ring box to now stick out of his pocket. "Actually I think you might have misunderstood when they said that." Branch said nervously. "Hey, what's this sticking out of your pocket?" Spruce tried to grab the object but Branch moved away from him but before he could tuck it back into his pocket Barb mamanged to snatch it away from him. When she opened it and they all saw what it was they realized that they really did get the wrong end of the stick. "You're going to propose?" Flyod acted excitedly for his brother. They all loved Poppy. "Yes. So could you all please leave, she's going to be here any minute." He said trying to usher them out when they all heard the lift go up to the top. Dang it Poppy was here.
Poppy was so excited it had been a full year since their first night they had become a couple the first time. She wanted to make tonight extra special with Branch. She wanted him to know that she was going to be there with him till the very end and so figured out what she could do to make it special. She wanted her first time to be with him and she decided that she would try to be sexy. She had her friends Satin and Chenille secretly make her a special outfit for tonight. A little black lingerie. That she wore underneath a black floor length trench coat. It wasn't too out there but she wanted to make it. She was trying to think of another word than special but she couldn't. This was the anniversary of the day the two realized that they loved each other. Sure some They had rocky moments after that but who doesn't. She finally reached the bunker with her heart racing. She was honestly excited. Once she reached the lift and got onto it. She pulled the lever and once the top was closed she removed her trench coat and got ready to face Branch because she figured he would be right there at the bottom of the lift when she arrived. And she was right he was there but also his entire family. And she was mostly naked.
Branch heard the lift come down. He was getting more frustrated. "Ok once she gets down here you all have to leave." Branch said, trying not to sound rude. "No worries Bro-in-law." Carol said. This allowed Branch to breathe for a moment. Until he heard Poppy's voice. "Happy Annavarsary Branch." Poppy said in a seductive tone. Then he saw what she was wearing and it made his heart do flips. At the moment he was the only one looking at her but before he could tell her to put her jacket back on she exited the lift and everyone came out of the kitchen and their expresion's were priceless. Both Barb and Carol were checking her out, Spruce had his eyes popping out of his head until Brandy got mad at him and slapped him in the arm. Floyd blushed and turned around, while Val was just stund. Clay had his eyes quickly shielded by Suki who was also trying to avoid eye contact with Poppy. When poor Poppy noticed the extra guests she let out a squeak before rushing to get her coat and hastfully tried to putit back on.
"Branch I thought it was just going to be the two of us." Poppy said before turning completely red. "We are so sorry sweety we kind of crashed last minute and Branch has been trying to get us to leave before you came." Brandy said embarrassed for being part of causing this situation. "Looking great Popsqueak." Barb said unashamed. It only seemed to earn her a look from Branch and Suki. "We will get out of your hair immediately." Suki said, in an embarrassed tone. Leading her boyfriend to the lift along with Val leading Floyd and Spruce not making eye contact with anyone. Brandy ended up having to drag Barb and Carol away. Branch then called for Glitz to go leave with them remembering that the little glow bug was still there. Branch just ended up wrapping Poppy in his arms. He could not believe this had happened. But as soon as the lift reached the top of the bunker Branch quickly placed the special lock on before anyone could change their minds. He then turned to Poppy with remorse clear on his face.
"I am so sorry about everything that happened." Branch said, leading Poppy over to the sofa. She was extremely embarrassed at the fact that most of her boyfriend's family just saw her in her underwear. Not the impression she had wanted to make. Branch then reached into his pocket. "Maybe this might make things a little better?" He opened the box to reveal his grandmother's ring that he had been able to get from his dad. It was simple with rose gold metal and a white opal in the center. Poppy looked at the ring and lunged at him kissing him on the mouth. "So is that a yes?" He asked with a chuckle. "Of course I'll marry you. I just now have to get over the fact that I just flashed you siblings and their significant others. ALso Being hit on by your sister and her wife." Poppy said laughing. Branch placed the ring on her finger and the two returned to kissing one another. "You know I was hoping to make this night perfect for you because the party crashers soon made me realize that there are no perfect moments. But what's perfect for us. And I love that you are perfect for me, Poppy." He said. Causing Poppy to shed happy tears. "I love that you are perfect for me too, Branch." Poppy said. Branch then leaned in close to her ear to whisper while running his hand up her thigh. "I also really liked your outfit you chose tonight." This caused Poppy to blush while going in for another kiss while taking off her trench coat again.
The entire village were thrilled that Poppy and Branch were to be wed. Everyone helped with everything, even the Bergans. Bridget was so pumped for her best friend. And Viva was overjoyed to be part of this moment in her daughter's life. Some with Branch's family also thanks to the wives of the group no one spoke of the flashing incident ever. Soon the two were wed and JD ended up moving out of the bunker the moment he heard about the engagement, so Poppy could move in and the couple could have more private time. Few years after he and Poppy were married she became pregnant with twins; a boy and a girl. They named their daughter Rosie after the best woman they knew. Their son was named Gary because Branch had revealed to Poppy that he had secretly always wanted a son named Gary and after hearing that she just couldn't say no. She also loved the name. Rosie was pink like her mother and grandmother but like her name she also got Rosiepuff's turquoise hair. Rosie was very energetic like her mother and had an angelic voice like her father. Her brother Gary didn't sing and it's not because he didn't want to. It was because he was a mute. He could still hear and understand everything going on around him but he just couldn't talk. But that did not stop him from communicating. Gary was very talented with playing instruments to songs and he learned to play music as a way to communicate. It truly was his voice. He was teal like his father and uncles but was a bit more dull. His colors were not vibrant like his sister's but they were just as special. And he had silver hair. It was like a peppy grey. Which seemed to fit. Poppy and Branch loved their children with everything they had. One day when Poppy was coming home she was greeted with a tune being played by her three favorite people.
Branch was playing guitar with Gary and singing with Rosie to a some he had written for them the day they were born.
Let the music set you free
Let the music set you free
All it takes is just a little you and me
Let's come together
Together as one
Poppy heard Branch sing and Rosie follow. Her heart swelled at hearing them harmonize. She always knew it deep down in her heart that Branch would be an amazing father and he is.
Why not take the chance to she em how it's done
People wanna know how we got those moves
People wanna bottle it up-up-up-up-up
She smiled when she heard Gary play and she knew it was Gary because after years of hearing him play guitar to talk to her she has gotten really good and knows his guitar and playing style.
But no can do
People wanna know how we got that groove
It's always been me and you
Ooh,
It runs in the family (Hee-hee-hee-hee)
Yeah, ooh,
Poppy decided to stop listening and join in the last bit of the song with her children and husband. Who just looked up at her with a smile. Rosie rushed to her mama and Poppy picked her up with ease. She kept walking over to the rest of their family. To sing the rest of the song.
It runs in the family
It's all about you and (ooh)
It's all about you and (ooh)
And me (you are my family, nowhere I'd rather be)
It starts with you and me
Poppy gave her two children a kiss on the head before sending them off to bed being led by Glitz. She then placed a loving and very passionate kiss to her husband. Who just held her there drowning in the thoughts of how he was so lucky to be able to have just about everything he lost and more. How he gets to exsist at the same time as his beautiful sunshine of a wife. He couldn't ever be happier because he has gotten everything he has not only wanted but more. "How did I get so lucky to be here with you?" Branch asked the love of his life. She turned to him and thought about it for a second and then remembered the very first time she realized she was in love with him and it was before she even realized it. "You gave a Lone Concert singing Cry Me A River on your mushroom in the rain and I just heard your voice and knew that I just needed to know who that voice belonged to. When I saw it was you I couldn't get you out of my head. Then I just had to know more about the grey trol of the village." Poppy said before kissing Branch and curling up with him on the sofa like they had done so many years ago. "You showed me that there are so many sides that make something beautiful." Branch just smiled down at her and noticed the change in her breathing. She had fallin asleep, so Branch just closed his eyes and joined her in their peaceful slumber.
THE END!
Ok we are done. Few things I want to say this chapter is just a hoshpog of several things to happen over the years. If y'all have stories you wish to make from it be my guest, just be sure to tag me and my story in the disclaimer, k. Also I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and posts in the comments. I love reading them. Thank you for sticking with me till the end. Took a little longer but I had a way I wanted to finish this and here it is. I love the fact I added Gary as a mute I turned a remote to life. I just think it is perfect and of course if they had a daughter her name would be Rosie. So there you go. I hoped y'all enjoyed the finally. And who knows maybe if there are enough spin off fics made from this I might just add it to a sequel giving credit to the creators of course. I just can't believe it's done. Hope y'all enjoyed the journey as much as I have. Bye.
