(Screen changes back to Pop Village, and Branch is seen behind a bush, spying on Poppy who's wrapping a small gift and talking to Delta Dawn and another Country Troll)

Delta Dawn: "Wow, Poppy, you are so good at gift-giving."

Poppy: "Hey, when you gots it, you gots it…"

Branch: (Whispers to himself) "'Operation Measure Poppy's Head' is a go." (Leaves his hiding place and crawls behind Poppy and begins to measure her head without her noticing. The two Country Trolls on the other hand do notice Branch)

"Branch is too adorable," Viva said, chuckling at Branch in amusement while the brothers smiled up at him.

Poppy: (Continues talking to the two Country Trolls, unaware of Branch behind her measuring her head) "...and then I realized, 'Why am I not using double-sided tape?' I mean, it's basically twice as good as single-sided tape. The clue's in the name, you know what I mean-"

Delta Dawn: "Uh, Branch? What you doing there, little bud?"

Branch: (Poppy stops talking in shock) "Oh. Hey. What's up?"

"Smooth brother," John laughed.

Poppy: (Jumps in surprise and gets worried) "Branch! What a nice surprise."

Branch: "Yeah. Surprise! Just came by to borrow some wrapping paper for my gift." (Notices the small gift Poppy had just been wrapping and goes and picks it up) "Whoa, Poppy, is this your gift swap present? It looks great!"

"Uh oh…" the brothers said, looking at each other nervously.

"What?" Viva asked, not understanding their reaction.

"Well…it's clear that Branch prefers the smaller and maybe more meaningful gifts. Poppy's present to him might be too overwhelming…" Floyd clarified.

Holly Darlin: "Nope, that one's mine. But it was Poppy that did it up so pretty."

Poppy: "Sure was, totally." (Whispers, panicked, to the two Country Trolls) "Guys, my gift box for Branch is out in the open. He's gonna know I got him!"

Delta Dawn: "Oh, my pumpkin pie. We're on it, Poppy." (Screen shows Poppy's gift to Branch sitting behind said troll, his name on it)

"Yeah, it wouldn't be good if Branch saw that before the gift-exchange. It'll only stress him out more," Clay said, hoping Branch didn't see his gift yet.

"And it'll ruin the surprise," Viva added.

Holly Darlin: (Takes her gift from Branch) "Well, look at the time. We'd better be hitting the road."

Delta Dawn: "We gotta go...um…go take care of our cats!"

Branch: (Confused) "What? When did you get cats?"

"You can't fool Branch," Bruce said, shaking his head in amusement.

Delta Dawn: "Uh…"

Holly Darlin: (Jumps into Delta Dawn's arms and pretends to be a cat) "Meow, meow, meow." (Delta Dawn carries Holly Darlin away)

"Real smooth," Clay said, he and his brothers laughing at the Country Trolls excuse.

Poppy: "Okay, see you around, bye!"

(Delta Dawn and Holly Darlin are seen using a step ladder to reach the name tag on Poppy's present, which has Branch's name on it. Hurriedly, they try to cover it up with bundles of leaves so Branch doesn't see it)

Branch: (His back facing the two Country Trolls, he faces Poppy) "Uh, anyway, like I was saying, I just need to borrow some wrapping paper, and then I'll be on my way."

Poppy: (Throws a pile of wrapping paper into Branch's arms) "Okay, here you go, now let's get you outta here!" (Pushes Branch away)

Branch: "Wait! Wait! Wait! I wanna remember this." (Stops Poppy and pulls out a camera from his hair)

Poppy: "What? Why?"

Branch: "Because…picture!" (With each flash he takes of his camera, he quickly gets the measurements of Poppy's head)

"Oh, that was actually pretty smart," Floyd commented.

Poppy: "Ah! Branch, what're you…ah!" (Rubs her eyes from the cameras flashes)

Branch: (Holds the picture his camera just printed out) "Perfect. I'll cherish this moment forever." (Looks down at it and sees that he took a picture of Delta Dawn and Holly Darlin covering up a huge gift, and sees his name on it) "Poppy got me…" (Looks behind Poppy and sees the gift, panicking) "And the gift is so big!" (Yells and runs off)

"Oh no," Bruce said, worried about Branch's reaction.

"Yeah, he didn't take that too well," Clay said, agreeing with Bruce.

"Note to self, give Branch smaller and less intimidating gifts," John told himself.

"I think Branch really just prefers spending time with people. I mean, he seemed really excited about that picnic with Poppy…until she decided to multitask…" Floyd said, trailing off in thought.

Poppy: "Wait, you forgot the wrapping paper!"

Branch: "I'll probably just use grocery bags. You know…reuse, renew, recycle!" (Runs out of sight)

Delta Dawn: (The two Country Trolls go to stand by Poppy) "Now that boy is odd."

"Hey! Don't call our brother odd!" Bruce shouted, defending his brother, while John, Clay and Floyd all narrowed their eyes at Delta Dawn.

(Screen pans back down to Branch in his bunker, building his gift for Poppy, while Cooper and Prince D watch him work from behind)

Branch: (Steps back to look at his invention) "Hmm…"

"Wow, that looks awesome, Branch!" Clay exclaimed, proud of Branch's work.

"Ooh, Poppy will love that!" Viva said, loving Branch's invention.

"You know, the more we see of Branch the more I'm learning about him, and it's clear he's very talented in a lot of ways. More than me that's for sure," John said, causing his brothers to look at him surprised as they weren't used to John being humble.

Cooper: "Wow, looks good!"

Prince D: "Mmm-hmm. Poppy's gonna love that."

Branch: "Yeah, you're right. It's not big enough!" (Cooper and Prince D look at each other in fright as Branch goes to add more to his invention) "Her gift was ginormous! I'm gonna build a scrapbooking machine and attach it to the hair styler." (Steps back to look once again at it)

At this the brothers looked at one another nervously.

"Why did he add more? It was fine before," Viva said, confused by Branch's actions.

"Now that he's seen how big Poppy's gift is for him, he feels like he has to match it, otherwise she'd be disappointed," Bruce explained.

"And leave him," John added guiltily, looking at his brothers sadly.

"Why would she leave him because of that?" Viva asked, not understanding what Bruce and John were saying.

"Let's just say…Branch has a hard time believing others will accept him and stay with him…" Clay sadly said, hating the truth in those words and knowing he was partly to blame.

Cooper: "Sweet. Now it's definitely done!"

Branch: "Agreed. Still got to go bigger!" (Adds more to his invention, frightening the twins) "I'll attach a smoothie maker so Poppy can get her hair done, make scrapbooks, and drink her favorite Troll berry banana smoothies! Great idea!" (When Branch finally finishes, his invention is three times bigger than it was to begin with)

As Branch finished his invention the brothers and Viva all stared at it in shock.

"That's a lot…" John pointed out, the others not knowing what else to say.

Branch: "It's perfect! Prince D, you wanna take her for a spin?"

Prince D: "Uh, yeah, no."

Branch: (Buckles himself to his invention, ready to test it) "All right, here I am." (Turns the hair machine on) "My hair's getting done, and then I'm like, 'Oh, rats, I forgot to make a scrapbook for Biggie's half birthday!'" (Presses another button to get the scrapbooking part running) "It's working! It's working!" (Holds the card the machine made up to the twins, who barricaded themselves in a metal box for protection)

"Oh wow, it's actually working," Floyd said, impressed.

Cooper: "Yep! Sure is!" (Cooper and Prince D barricade themselves in a metal box to protect themselves if the machine explodes)

Branch: "And now, for the final touch. The smoothie maker!" (Turns the smoothie maker on, which causes the machine to malfunction) "Ahhh!" (Machine explodes, flying Branch up and out of the Bunker, then he falls heavily on the ground) "Ooh! I think I broke my butt."

"Ooh," the brothers said, wincing as they watched what happened.

"Ouch, that looked like that hurt," Clay commented, looking worriedly at the place Branch had fallen.

(Scene changes to show Tiny Diamond, who made it to the top of the mountain, meditating with the clouds in the room)

"Oh hey! Tiny made it to the top!" John said in excitement.

Tiny Diamond: "Guys, how am I supposed to get my flow back if you're all doing this vow of silence thing?"

"Vow of silence? That sounds awful!" Viva exclaimed, not liking the sound of that at all while the brothers laughed at her words in amusement.

(A cloud gives him a cup, which he takes gratefully and drinks out of it. At the bottom of the cup, he sees tea leaves that spell 'You Already Have The Gift')

Tiny Diamond: "'You already have the Gift.' Pff! That's nonsense, tea!"

(Tiny Diamond throws the cup, which spills the tea leaves out on the floor which now spells 'Look Through The Clutter.' When Tiny Diamond doesn't notice this, a cloud next to him clears his throat and nods his head toward the tea leaves, getting Tiny's attention)

Tiny Diamond: "'Look through the clutter.' What clutter?!"

Tea Leaves: "Come on, Tiny. What makes him so special?"

Tiny Diamond: "What do you mean, what makes him so special? He's just my…" (A cloud hits a gong at Tiny's realization and gives him a thumbs up) "Daddy!"

"Aww," Viva said, finding how much Tiny loved his dad adorable.

Tiny Diamond: (Raps) "Yeah! Okay. I think I got it now. Been around the world trying to get my flow back. Couldn't find a single rhyme, everything I said was whack. But then a Cloud Monk gave me tea and hit a gong and I finally realized that I had it all along. So, Imma flip this verse like I flip a burger patty. Thought I had to rhyme with Diamond when I could've rhymed with Daddy!"

"Wow, that was good!" Bruce said, enjoying Tiny's rap.

Guy Diamond Tattoo: "You did it, son!"

Tiny Diamond: "Yes! I got my flow back!" (Jumps down the mountain, ready to return home)

Female Cloud: "Dude, did that guy's tattoo just talk?"

Male Cloud: "Hey, you just broke your vow of silence!"

Female Cloud: "You just broke your vow of silence!"

Male Cloud: "Wait, does that mean…" (Both of them disappear)

"Okay…" John said, the trolls looking at the screen confused.

(Tiny Diamond is seen walking back to Pop Village)

Tiny Diamond: (Raps) "I got my flow back! I got my flow back, yeah!" (Finds Branch lying on the ground)

Branch: "Ow."

"Poor Branch," Floyd said, feeling sorry for his younger brother.

"Dang, he looks rough," Clay pointed out, looking worriedly at Branch.

Tiny Diamond: "What's up, Branch? You look... You look bad, man. No other way to say it. What happened?"

Branch: "I failed, Tiny. I tried to make Poppy a gift, and it blew up in my face. Literally."

"Don't say that Branch, you didn't fail," Bruce said, trying to comfort his brother even though Branch couldn't see or hear him.

Tiny Diamond: "Say no more, bro. Let Tiny help you out."

"Thanks Tiny," John said, grateful that he was willing to help Branch out.

Branch: "Yeah? Okay."

Tiny Diamond: "You just need to look through the clutter and focus on what's important. You already have the gift, dude. You already have it."

(Branch closes his eyes at Tiny's words, and a magical light falls over Branch while a breeze sweeps over them)

"Woah…" the brothers and Viva gasped, staring at the scene in amazement.

Tiny Diamond: (Whispers in Branch's ear) "Bla-dow." (Branch opens his eyes) "You see it now, don't you?"

Branch: "Nope, not even a little bit." (The magic light and breeze goes away)

"Oh, come one, man," Clay said, amused and exasperated with Branch.

Tiny Diamond: "Oh, come on. The winds even blew in a magical way."

(Branch is seen back in his bunker, cleaning up his mess)

"Dang, his bunker's a mess," Bruce pointed out, looking at the big mess Branch was cleaning up with wide eyes.

Branch: "Look through the clutter." (Picks up two pieces of paper from the floor, one with a picture of Branch the other of Poppy, and looks at them sadly)

"Aww," Floyd said, looking sadly at Branch. It was sweet of Branch to go through all this trouble to make Poppy's gift, but he wished Branch knew that Poppy would never leave him. At least, he (Floyd) hoped she never would…

(Poppy stands by her present to Branch and looks up at it smiling)

Delta Dawn: "You always know just what to get to make someone feel special. Don't you, Poppy? I'm sure Branch is gonna love his gift."

Poppy: "Yeah." (Turns back to look at her gift sadly) "I hope you're right."

"I'm sure he'll love it," Viva said.

(Scene changes to show Poppy and Branch in front of all the other trolls as it's time for the gift swapping to begin)

Poppy: "Hello, everyone! Who's ready for the holiday gift swap?" (A glitter firework goes off and everyone runs off to find their secret someone)

"Woo-hoo!" Viva cheered in excitement.

Barb: "Come on, Dad. Let's go!"

Prince D: (Opens his gift to find Fuzzbert dressed as a Christmas tree) "Oh, it's lit!"

Holly Darlin: (Whoops in delight at her gift, which is a cactus) "I love it!"

Val Thundershock: (Unwraps her gift to find a guitar) "Oh, cool!" (Smashes it to the ground, breaking it. Within seconds the guitar repairs itself) "A Never-Break guitar? I've always wanted one of these!"

"Oh, that's sick," Clay said, liking the guitar.

Holly Darlin: "I know." (The two trolls hug)

Barb: (Puts Mr. Dinkles new hat on him) "Here you go, little dude."

Mr. Dinkles: "Merci."

Poppy: "So…"

Poppy & Branch: "Who did you get?" (The two laugh while all the other trolls gather around to watch their gift exchange)

Branch: "I'll tell you if you tell me…"

Poppy: "Both of us at the same time?"

Poppy & Branch: "One, two, three. You!" (Each holds out their slip of paper with the other's name on it, causing them to both laugh somewhat nervously)

"They're such a cute couple!" Viva said while the brothers smiled happily at Branch, the trolls loving the moment between Poppy and Branch.

Poppy: "Okay. Um…Do you wanna go first?"

Branch: "Well, I made you this really really cool thing."

Poppy: (Excited) "I'm sure it's great!"

Branch: "But it exploded and blew me into a tree."

Poppy: "Oh that's not…not so great."

Branch: (Sadly) "Yeah, I may have overdone it a bit. Anyway, this is all I could scrape together. Here…" (Takes a book out of his hair and gives it to Poppy) "I know it's kinda lame."

(Poppy looks through the book titled 'Branch and Poppy's Great Adventures' and sees Branch's cute attempts at scrapbooking, as there were various pictures of the two of them and drawings done by Branch, all telling the adventures they've had together. The last page Poppy looks at has her and Branch hugging with the words 'You Make Me Happy' written above them)

"Awww," Viva sighed.

"He scrapbooked…for her," Bruce said in awe, as he knew how much Branch hated scrapbooking.

"That's the best gift ever," Floyd said in all sincerity, tears of joy forming in his eyes.

"He really loves her, doesn't he," John whispered, proud of his brother.

"Branch is the best!" Clay said, smiling proudly at his youngest brother.

Poppy: (Looks up at him, touched) "Branch, you scrapbooked? For me?"

"Well boys, Branch is the perfect example of what it means to be a perfect boyfriend," John said, he and his brothers chuckling in amusement while knowing John was right.

Branch: "Yeah. And I think I permanently glued two of my fingers together doing it." (Shows her his hand, causing Poppy to laugh)

At this the brothers and Viva laughed along with Poppy, finding Branch adorable.

Poppy: "I love it. It's a gift only you could give me." (Hugs the book and Branch smiles warmly at her)

"Oh, please marry her Branch," Bruce said, hoping his brother would propose soon.

Poppy: "Okay…um…now it's my turn."

"Ooh, I can't wait to see what she got him!" Viva gasped in excitement, her and the brothers anticipating the revel.

(Trolls in the audience gasp in anticipation and excitement to see what's in the big box Poppy had wrapped. Poppy then pulls a rope which opens the box and reveals that nothing's in there, and looks down guilty)

"Wait, what!" Clay exclaimed, confused.

"She didn't get him anything…?" Viva whispered in shock.

"But…why?" Bruce asked, looking sadly at John and Floyd. Branch deserved so much…

Cooper: "Well, that sucks."

Branch: (Pretends not to be hurt) "H-h-hey, cool. An invisible mountain bike?"

"That's sweet of him that he's covering up for Poppy," Viva quietly said, still shocked that Poppy hadn't given Branch anything.

Legsly: "No way. I got the same thing." (Rides her invisible mountain bike through the audience)

Poppy: (Sadly) "I...I didn't get you anything. Because when I tried to think about what to get the coolest troll in the whole world, I totally drew a blank. I mean, what do you even get someone who is sooo sweet, and soo funny, and kind, and cute, and, like, weirdly over-prepared for everything?"

At her words the brother's confused expressions got replaced by a warm smile.

"That's our brother all right," Bruce softly said, loving how Poppy described Branch.

"There's no better way to describe him," John agreed, giving Bruce and Floyd a side-hug while Bruce gave Clay a side-hug, all of them smiling lovingly up at their youngest brother.

Branch: "You know, the thing I like most about the holidays is just…being together…with you." (Takes Poppy's hands in his and they hug)

"And once we leave here, we'll make sure that we're there for him as well," Floyd said, still being hugged by John. It was time for him to keep the promise he made to Branch years ago.

All Trolls: "Aw!"

Poppy: "Somebody uke me!" (Pulls away from Branch as someone tosses her a ukulele, which she begins to play) "You always wanted to be hidin', like no one wants you around." (Branch bashfully puts his head down at these words)

At those words the brothers smile sadly up at Branch. It was, after all, their fault why Branch felt like no one wanted him around, and they would give anything to change that and show their brother just how much they care about him and regret their decision on leaving.

Poppy: "Hold your head a little higher. It's pretty simple: I'm in luck, I'm in luck, I'm in luck 'cause we're together now. Never stop lookin' up if it's love, don't even mess around. Together now!"

Branch: "I said I didn't wanna light up." (Branch and Poppy start dancing together)

Prince D & Cooper: "Light up!"

Branch: "So, turn the radio down, maybe I was in denial. But I've changed a little-"

"No, you've changed more than a little," Clay said, proud of the troll Branch had become. He only wished he could have seen Branch grow up and been there with/for him.

"Ahh, I can't get over his voice and how cute they are together!" Viva squealed, loving the scene.

Branch & Poppy: "I'm in luck, I'm in luck, I'm in luck 'cause we're together now."

Val Thundershock: "Together now!"

Branch & Poppy: "Lookin' up, lookin' up, lookin' up don't need to look around, 'cause I know! I'm in luck, I'm in luck, I'm in luck 'cause we're together now…I'm in luck, I'm in luck, I'm in luck 'cause we're together now."

King Trollex: "Oh, 'cause we're together now! 'Cause we're together now!"

Tiny Diamond: (Raps) "We go together better than a snowflake on a sweater. Or a Tiny Diamond verse on my daddy's favorite record. Now my journey's finally over, wow I just wanna say 'bla-dow!' Through rain and stormy weather, how we'll always be together now!" (Hugs his dad) "I love you, Daddy."

Guy Diamond: "I love you too, son."

"Aww," Viva said as she watched the cute father/son moment.

Prince D: "It feels so good to see you again, you know?"

Cooper: "Yeah!"

Prince D: "Come here." (Hugs his brother)

"I'm glad they found each other," Bruce said, referring to how Cooper had finally found his family and is now happily reunited with them. And soon, the same thing could be said about Bruce being reunited with Branch…

Poppy: "Together now! The bad days are over, 'cause we come together!" (Holds hands with Branch)

Branch & Poppy: "The bad days are over, 'cause we don't stop…lookin' up, lookin' up lookin' up don't need to look around, 'cause I know: I'm in luck, I'm in luck, I'm in luck 'cause we're together now. Together now!"

"I'm really happy for you Branch," John Dory said, smiling up in pride at Branch. He couldn't wait to meet him again after all these years!

Trolls: "Now, now. Together now. Now, now. Together now." (Fireworks shoot up in the air)

Branch: "I'm in luck, I'm in luck…"

Poppy: "The bad days are over…"

Branch: "I'm in luck, I'm in luck…"

Poppy: "'Cause we come together…"

Branch: "I'm in luck, I'm in luck…"

Poppy & Branch: "The bad days are over, 'cause we come together now!"

As their song came to an end Viva and the brothers cheered in happiness, overjoyed that their siblings were happy and together.

(Trolls all cheer)

Branch: "Wow, Poppy, maybe next year we exchange songs instead of gifts."

"Oh, I love that idea," Viva said, the brothers nodding in agreement.

Poppy: "I love that idea." (It begins snowing)

Cloud Guy: "I hope you guys don't mind. I brought a few of my buddies." (Mentions to all the clouds around him, which explains where the snow is coming from)

"Oh, I love snow!" Viva exclaimed in joy.

"Yeah, but where's it coming from," Clay pointed out, narrowing his eyes suspiciously at the falling snow.

Branch: "Everyone, everyone keep your mouths closed. We don't know where that's coming from."

Riff: "Wait, what?" (Snow coats his tongue that was sticking out)

Branch: "Guys, wait, no…"

Poppy: "Hey, Branch…How about another balloon ride over Troll Kingdom?"

Branch: "No multitasking?"

Poppy: "Nope. Just you and me." (Kisses Branch on the cheek, causing him to laugh)

"YES!" Viva and the brothers cheered, laughing in joy as Poppy kissed Branch on the cheek.

"Their first kiss! In a way," Bruce said happily.

"I love Branch's laugh," Floyd said, still smiling in joy at the scene between his brother and Poppy.

"Yeah!" Viva cheered, laughing with Clay who was looking at Viva lovingly. Feeling Clay's eyes on her, Viva turned to smile warmly at him and took his hands in hers, squeezing them gently. Giving her a mischievous smile, Clay dipped Viva and kissed her, causing his brothers to once again wolf-whistle and cheer.

Sheila B: "Oh, yeah!" (Picks Branch and Poppy up) "Team Broppy all the way! Whoo-hoo!" (Flies out of sight with Branch and Poppy holding each other's hands lovingly)

"You got that right!" John Dory exclaimed.

"Yeah! Team Broppy!" Bruce added, throwing his fists in the air in celebration.

(Screen goes black)

As soon as the screen turned black, the lights in the room turned back on as Cloud Guy once again appeared.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Cloud Guy asked, approaching the trolls who were by now all standing up and stretching.

"We're doing great!" Bruce said, smiling at Cloud Guy in greeting.

"Yeah, are we finished now?! I'm dying to see Branch!" John Dory said, itching to get out of there.

"Not yet. There's still one more movie for you guys to watch before your reunion. The future!" Cloud Guy said, emphasizing his last sentence.

"Oh, cool!" John Dory exclaimed in excitement.

"Now, before continuing, I have to warn you guys that in the movie you are about to watch, you will see your reunion with Branch," Cloud Guy explained, causing the brothers to look at one another excitedly.

"We'll reunite in the future?!" Floyd asked, excited at the thought.

"Yes, but mostly because you're being…forced to shall we say," Cloud Guy continued.

At these words the brothers smiles left their faces as they looked at each other sadly and confused.

"You mean…we don't reunite because we want to?" Bruce asked, shocked by those words.

"Yep, at first that is. Anyway, I won't say too much, you'll see it all for yourselves. Oh, one other thing. Before watching the future, you will first see four flashbacks into the past of Branch before he lost his colors. So, without further ado, let's continue!" Cloud Guy said, disappearing before any more questions could be asked and leaving Viva and the brothers to look at one another confused.

Author's Note: So, as you'll see in the next chapter, I will be adding three memories of Branch's past to the one shown in the movie Trolls Band Together, which shows us John, Spruce, Clay and Floyd leaving Branch as a baby. One memory will be before this moment and the other two will be after. Thanks for reading and I hope you're enjoying the story!
