I woke up bright and early, ready to face the day. However, the day started with yet another akumatised attack. l sighed inwardly. Couldn't Web Master give us a break? Web Master was the real villan. He was the one who sent akumas(Creepy spiders) to trolls when they had negative feelings, such as sadness, fear, anxiety, etc. I transformed into Stellar Mistress. Leaping out of my pod, I saw the akumatised villan was Trey, my boyfriend. I wondered why he was akumatised. Maybe his time as a servant had affected him more than me. Or something.
This interrupted the mourning song, as everyone had been ordered to stay in their homes when there was an akumatised villan. Poppy and me battled Trey, not just with our powers, but with words, trying to convince him 8.30amto reject the akuma. This was the same routine almost every day, just with different people. A flurry of stars helped me battle him, constantly getting in his face and blocking several blows. The stars and I were the the distraction, while Poppy readied the bubble to ensnare him.
Finally, we defeated him and purified the akuma. He collasped, having no memory of what just happened except from what we told him. I asked him(detransformed, of course) what had caused him to become akumatised. He refused to talk about it. This was the fourteenth time he had been akumatised. Poppy led the mourning song while I probed Trey, trying to convince him to talk to me about it.
I sighed. Time to do my duties as a princess. Although it wasn't backbreaking work like scrubbing dishes all day, or carrying piles of pots and pans down flimsy wooden steps to the scullery, like I used to do when I was a maid, it was still exhausting. But I loved my people, and this was for them. First, it was to amuse troll children with games, which I enjoyed, as I had a high energy level.
After, I visited Poppy in her pod. I wondered if she had seen Branch today. "Poppy," I sang out in a sing-song voice as I entered her pod. "Did you see your crush today?" I teased. Branch was her longtime crush since she was seven. She would always love him, no matter how grumpy or mean he was to her. Poppy and me knew that everyone had happiness inside of them, even a gray troll like Branch. However, today Poppy didn't blush like usual whenever I teased her. She had tears in her eyes. "Oh, what did he say now?" I asked her. The only thing I disliked about Branch was his rudeness. Poppy gulped.
"He said he couldn't believe I was going to be Queen one day." I shook my head. "Don't listen to him. He's not always right. Although he is most of the time. We both know he has a softer side deep down. Right?" Poppy nodded and wiped her tears. "Are you ready for the party?" Poppy nodded. Tonight was going to be fun. What could go wrong?
