Disclaimer:

I do not own Trolls or these songs. I have been inspired with new stories and more chapters to write. My posting will be once a week since I do have other stories and life going on as well. I have so many new songs to add! I have looked at all the song requests in the comment section in Lone Concert and I will do what I can to not only add those songs but maybe even more. Hope y'all enjoy! Also Branch's last name is now Timberlake. I am just getting tired of typing Branch's family especially since I feel that they have developed past that.

The next day Branch woke up before everyone else as usual and was heading to the kitchen to brew some morning coffee and make some toast for himself. Once his piece of toast was done, jammed, and eaten he grabbed his coffee and started to hum to himself. When he was about to blow on the steaming hot coffee he was not paying attention to the shadow creeping up behind him. "Morning!" Poppy shouted in his ear, scaring him forcing him to throw his hot coffee all over himself and his robe. "AHHAHAHAH!" Branch screamed, flinching himself backwards and onto the ground. Sadly his screaming woke all of his brothers up and they came rushing in with whatever makeshift weapons they could grab in the moment. Clay had the thickest book he could find, JD had a floor lamp, and Spruce had a bat. Dad of thirteen he was always prepared for defending his kids. Also one of his kids left their bat in his room for some reason.

"What happened? Is everyone ok?" JD shouted. Then all three brothers saw Branch on the ground covered in coffee and Poppy stood behind him with her hands over her mouth trying not to laugh. "I'm fine." Branch said, picking himself up and heading back to the kitchen with the now empty coffee cup and an unamused look on his face as he went back for more coffee. The brothers curiously followed the two back to the kitchen. "You didn't sleep on it. Did you Poppy?" Branch asked his easter girlfriend. The brothers look over at the two wondering what they were talking about. JD was still sleepy so last night's thing did not come to mind. They saw Poppy grab Branch's coffee cup to refill it and when he went to grab it back they were shocked to just see her put it down and then hand the now empty cup back to the tired troll. "Not a wink." Poppy said enthusiastically. "And you probably have a crazy ill thought through plan." Branch said as he refilled the cup for the third time; the pot was almost empty now. "You bet but it is thought through because I have been thinking about it all night." Poppy said and Branch tried to finally take a sip of his coffee. Poppy however was not aware of her volume and screamed. "HA!" In his ear and bumping into him causing to slip his coffee again.

The brothers wanted to laugh at the sight but also felt bad for their little brother who just wanted his coffee. "I'll go put on some pants." Branch said just giving up on his coffee. The brothers were about to calm his girlfriend down when they turned around and saw that she was making more coffee. This concerned the boys because she was already hyper before she got her and she had already shot back a full cup of coffee. "Hey um Poppyseed. I think you have had enough coffee this morning." JD said, trying to ease the girl away from the coffee pot. "I am not making coffee for myself. I have calmed down a bit and realized that Branch hasn't gotten a chance to have his coffee yet and so I am making some for him. It should be ready by the time he comes back out." Poppy explained. That took the boys back with surprise.

The brothers finally had a moment to see what the other grabbed. "Dude why do you have a lamp?" Spruce asked, trying not to laugh at his older brother." It was the first thing I saw. Not everyone can have something practical like a bat or a book." JD said as he went back to his room to set the lamp down. When he came back into the room and sat at the table and saw Branch finally enjoying his coffee. "Ok Poppy what was so important that you had to give Branch a heartattack?" JD joked and he saw Branch giving him a mock laugh but he counted that as a win; John grabbed his own cup of coffee waiting for Poppy to answer. "To get you and Val together." John was now choking on his drink while Branch smirked into his cup and Clay and Spruce were giggling at John. "Poppy no. You don't have to." JD tried to explain until he saw his son's head shaking signalling that it was no use and he should just give in now. "Branch please." John begged.

Branch sighed as he got up to grab Poppy and ease her down on her leg and gave her his other piece of toast. "Poppy how about we focus on setting up Spruce and Brandy's pod today and after that I had something planned for us to do and during that you can go over your plan and I can tell you if I think it might work or even be a good idea or not. Ok?" Branch asked the pink troll. She finished her toast and nodded her head. Once Branch placed his now finished cup in the sink she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the bunker leaving the three to talk amongst themselves. "Well that happened." Spruce said before getting supplies to make breakfast for about two dozen people.

"I have never been more glad to have a girlfriend right now." Clay said jokingly. "Or married." Spruce said over his shoulder. "It's not funny. What am I going to do? You saw Poppy, she is a force of nature. Val and I. We just aren't ready to go back there again." John groaned. "I would suggest telling Poppy that but I have a feeling that won't work. Maybe Branch can get through to her." Clay said to him. "That's not all I was talking about. Val wants to tell Branch and deep down so do I but how do I even bring that up?" John said, hoping to get an answer from one of his brothers there. "I would say talk to dad about it first then see if you and Val can spend some more time with him. Then." Clay was explaining but Spruce interrupted him. "Then you suggest going on a double date. You and Val with him and Poppy. He might be able to take the news better with her by his side." Spruce said. Clay nodded at the last part of the plan.

John thought about it and felt like it could work. He didn't want to just drop a major bomb on him and if he could warm him up and make him feel like he had a support system he might actually take the news better. "Yeah. That could work. Thanks. I mean it." John said earning simple from his brothers. Then they heard a door open and close and a yawn drawing their attention towards the yellow skinned, vermillion haired trolls walking up to her husband. "Morning." She said, wrapping her arms around Spruce kissing him on the cheek. "Boys you might want to cover your ears." She told her brother-in-laws. "Babe you look hot." Brandy said unbashfully. Spruce just turned around and deeply kissed his wife while dipping her. "Get a room." John groaned. "She warned you." Spruce said laughing as he got back to the cooking. "Smells good. Hey what was all that commotion this morning?" Brandy commented. "Nothing. Just Poppy scaring the life out of Branch." Clay said while handing Brandy a cup of coffee. "Do I want to know?" She asked curiously. Both brothers just shook their heads and said in unision. "No."

Branch and Poppy spent most of the day with the Snack Pack setting up Spruce and Brandy's pod to fit them and all of their kids. It was getting a little late by the time they finished adding the necessary items into the pod. This would probably be the last night they would sleep in the bunker so tomorrow the kids could move into their own rooms and not have to share anymore which they were excited about. Branch also with the help of Poppy they had gotten each of them a little something as a housewarming gift. Each of them are going to get a little critter stuffy that has been placed on their bed and a new book for them to read, and poppy has made thirteen little quilts to make the rooms extra cozy. Spruce and Brandy told them that they didn't have to, but Poppy's response was that they were happy too. Branch was. He has a niece and a ton of nephews. He was just excited to be a part of his family again.

Poppy and Branch thanked the Snack Pack and sent them home after lunch and finished up the pod themselves. It was nice being just the two of them even if it is setting a pod for his brother. He did like having his family back and at times it has been really nice having everyone in the bunker and like he had mentioned earlier there is enough space but at the same time you still can't help but feel like you are under everybody else's feet. And Branch knew the importance of having a place of your own. But rest assured his father did mention that Branch would host any and all future family get-togethers. His bunker is the only place that would fit them all.

Poppy was just about done and went to find Branch when she saw him place a recent family photo that had all of them in it. She could not help herself but watch Branch as he smiled at the photo. She had surprised him with it knowing that he needed a family photo for the bunker, but he had surprised her when he made copies to put in each of his family members' pods. She finally walked up and hugged Branch from behind. He placed the photo down, turning around, giving her a smile. "Are you ready for your surprise?" He asked, grinning. She grinned back at him and nodded; giving him a peck in his nose before letting him lead her to wherever he was taking her.

Before the two headed out for their night alone they stopped by inside of the bunker to let Spruce and Brandy know that their pod was now ready and that they could move into it in the morning. "Thank you so much Poppy for all that you have done for our family. You didn't have to do all this." Brandy said gushing at her new home. "Of course I was part of Branch's family. I wanted to help out with whatever I could." Poppy told Brandy who just rushed to the pink troll and hugged her. "Branch is so lucky to have a troll like you in his life. Especially when we all couldn't be." Poppy tried not to cry at that sentiment as she just hugged Brandy back. Branch was back in the bunker helping Spruce tuck in all thirteen of his kids into bed. He thanked the younger troll for everything he has done for them. Yes they were family but he has gone above and beyond what they deserved from him. Making the bunker for the family, letting them all stay with him even though he was uneasy about the whole thing, help move and make livable pods for them to move into, and just giving them all another chance to be a family again. All Branch could do was hug his big brother. "What else was I supposed to do, you're my brother." Spruce felt a pain of guilt in his heart. Branch will always be a little brother to him even though he knows the truth now. He hugged Branch back tightly before they were interrupted by the lift coming down into the bunker.

On the nice walk through the woods Poppy was talking about her crazy plan she had come up with the night before. About how Val and JD should end up together and how they could go on double dates to ease the tension. Then half way through the walk Poppy saw how disengaged he was from the conversation so she started to go on about what it has been like to have her mom back and he seemed to perk up at that; asking a bunch of questions that she happily answered. Poppy was so enthralled by the conversation that she was not paying any attention to her surroundings which worked in Branch's favor of keeping the surprise a surprise.

Poppy stopped talking when she realized where exactly he was leading her to. They were now at his secret spot. She turned to him. She hasn't been there since that day. When everything went wrong. "What are we doing here?" She asked hesitantly. Branch just smiled at her. "Well I did say I had hoped this could become our secret spot remember?" Branch said, holding her hand and leading her to the top of the mushroom. "I thought I ruined that." Poppy said, unable to look Branch in the eyes. When he pulled Poppy up onto the mushroom top he pulled her into a kiss. "No, you didn't." Branch said into her ear. Poppy shuttered at his breath on her neck and missed it when he moved back. Branch then started to sing, holding her hands, gazing into her pretty pink eyes, and Glitz popped out and got the other critters of the forest to start playing the melody. Saw bugs and flowers moving, singing, and dancing around her and the night sky glowing so beautifully. Poppy couldn't help but smile at her extremely sweet boyfriend.

I got plans tonight

And you, you know what I like

And you're approaching me right

But you gotta work that smile right for me

'Cause I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

'Cause I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

Poppy realized what Branch was doing. She had been so busy lately rebuilding the kingdom and moving pods and catching up with her mom and Branch with his family they haven't really had just any time for them. So he wanted to surprise her with one of his songs like he would do before they had gotten together, but this time no spying.

Little baby with the sun dress on

Looking so very right you're wrong

Make me want to write my own little song for you

The way the thing just wiggle in the air

Turn around and then you flip your hair

So take the stage just show me what you got

Walking through the forest the Timberlake siblings were talking about John's problem. John had filled Holly in when he went to talk to his dad and step mom about telling Branch the truth. Ozzy will always love Branch like a son, but he was proud that John and Val were going to take responsibility and do the hard thing and tell the truth. When the six siblings were walking through the forest they heard singing and saw Branch and Poppy. They were well hidden and far enough away to not be heard talking if they whispered.

When you took my hand up so calm

Touched it to your cherry lip balm

Like I'm in love with you

Didn't have to run,

I knew it was love from a mile away

But I had to catch you,

Been running through my mind all day,

Baby

It had been a while since they had some alone time not around their friends or big family. This was nice. Branch and Poppy started to dance together unaware of the new audience they had. Holly suggested leaving but the others just wanted to hear Branch sing again. He looked so happy. John hoped he could bring Val here one day to hear him sing too. She used to love to hear his singing.

I got plans tonight

And you, you know what I like

And you're approaching me right

But you gotta work that smile right for me

'Cause I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

'Cause I'm in love with that girl

So don't be mad at me

I'm in love with you

Branch pulled Poppy in a very deep and intimate kiss thinking they were alone. Poppy wrapped her arms around his neck and played with his hair. It was at this time the onlookers realized they should probably leave quickly before they saw anything they wished they hadden't. Once they were a good enough distance away this is when John got an idea. One that will probably not blow up in his face. Yeah, right? Everyone was gushing about Branch's singing and songwriting. Clay, even though he was no longer funny cracked a joke about getting out of there just in time. "Man Brandy is not going to be happy about missing out on hearing that. I knew Branch could sing and write songs, but man if we do ever get the band back together, he is definitely the new heartthrob." Spruce said laughing earning him chuckles from the others as well. "I know we can't pressure Branch to sing in front of us or with us but maybe we could come here wherever this place is and listen to him sing?" John Dory suggested. "I don't know how well that will work out in the end. I'm out." Holly said. "Well that's not the only thing I'm thinking of doing." John said with a smirk on his face causing his brothers to groan and his sisters to roll their eyes. "Oh no. What?" Clay cautousily asked.

Ok as promised the lone concert has returned!!! And it is the siblings invading Branch's privacy. Branch if you just sang infront of everyone they would leave you alone. Well That's all I am going to say so I hope y'all have enjoyed reading this chapter and until the next time. Bye.
