I do not own Trolls or these songs. 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! This is our Valentine's Day Chapter. It is also another Love Concert Chapter. So enjoy! True Hearts Day is great for couples and just friends.
Today was a very special Trolls Holiday called True Hearts Day and it was Branch and Poppy's True Hearts Day together as a couple. Branch wanted to make it as special as possible. He had this big plan set and ready before his siblings talked him down. Now he had been locked in his room for the past few hours. He was creating his first ever scrapbook for Poppy. It did not look as amazing as Poppy's usually do but his dad John told him that she will love whatever he gives her. Everyone had plans for the day. John was taking Val on a very special and romantic date. Spruce and Brandy are finishing up the final touches for their new restaurant, Delta and Ozzy are going to go out on a picnic. Carol and Barb are going to a rock concert, Floyd and Riff are spending the night in. Holly is staying to take care of the fourteen Timberlake kids along with CJ and Tiny (who was planning on spending the night with his friends). Suki and Clay are also staying to help out while everyone is out for the night. Peppy and Viva are having a romantic dinner back at the royal pod and Milton is proposing to Smidge. But that is for another time.
Branch had shown his newly claimed mother and father his gift for Poppy and Val was so excited and loved it so much and said that she would love it. Val was excited to be out as his mom and Branch could not help but smile when she acted motherly towards him and even though it was still weird for him and he still felt a bit unsure about the whole thing, but he could not help but love these moments. John could not help but smile at this family moment. True it had been a rough couple of days since they told Branch but things have gotten better sure there will probably be a few more bumps in the road but he was positive that they will be able to get through it. Branch headed out early to spend the day with Poppy and everyone got ready for their own festivities.
After everyone had gone off on their own date there was a knock on the bunker. Holly went up to check it out and at the entrance was none other than Biggie holding Mr. DInkles. She was happy to see him but a little confused because she had not planned for him to be there. "Hey Holly. Guy had mentioned that Tiny and the other little ones were staying here for the day and Suki had mentioned that the two of you plus Clay would be watching them and I was wondering if you would like an extra hand." Biggie tried to sound as confident as he did when he told Branch that Poppy also knew how to scrapbook as one of her list of skills. Holly smiled at him and told him sure the more the merrier as she moved over so he could get on the platform. When the lift brought them back down Clay looked at her knowingly and Suki could not help but smile at her two friends. "Hi Biggie." Suki said. "He came to help out." Holly simply said.
Things were going well for the most part. That was until the kids decided to go exploring the tunnels Branch had closed up to prevent this very thing from happening but Barb had at some point taught them to pick a lock and now it was chaos. While the four adults were running around chasing them. Each one of the kids had all managed to make it to the top of the bunker and outside. It did not take long for the adults to follow suit but they were not in a giant game of chase and they were losing. "We had one job!" Clay shouted, not helping matters at all.
When Branch and Poppy had gotten to their little area Branch pulled out a small poorly wrapped gift and even though it looked like he used way too much tape and red wrapping paper. He was nervous about giving this to her because it was filled with all his most inner thoughts and was a little embarrassed about showing her. She was so excited to open it that she had to resist the urge to just grab it out of his hands. She waited until they were ontop of their spot and for him to hand it to her. When she did open it she was very surprised and taken back by what it held. Out of all the things she was expecting this was not it. He actually took the time to make her a scrapbook for her. "Branch you scrapbooked. For me?" Poppy said, feeling like her heart might burst. "Yeah, I think I might have permanently glued these two fingers together though. I hope you like it." Branch finished meekly. Poppy dove into him, giving him a hug and kissing him all over his face. Branch could not help but chuckle. When she was finished she decided to hand Branch his gift from her.
Poppy had made Fluffleberry Cake for Branch because she had found out that it was his favorite dessert and it was one his Gramma used to make. So she had gotten the recipe from Ozzy who was more than happy to give it to her. It took her a couple of tries until she got it perfect. Truth be told it was not her favorite but it was for Branch and that was enough for her, because that was the important thing. Branch was almost brought to tears at the rush of memories he had almost forgetten when he had tasted the Fluffleberry Cake Poppy had made for him. She was so happy she was able to finally think of something to give him because even though she is the best gift giver ever she did have trouble coming up with a gift for him. That was until her mom said do something from the heart. She might have also let it slip that Rosiepuff used to make a special dessert and Ozzy had the recipe.
The kids were still running from the four adults to the point that they had passed Spruce and Brandy when they were finishing their date. When the two saw the mob of children run past them and not far behind them the trolls who they entrusted them to running after them they realized the mistakes were made. Clay was running slower than the rest of them so Spruce was able to catch him by the arm. This made Clay stop to look at a disappointed father; not his father no it was just his brother. "Hey you two, how was your night?" Clay said, trying to avoid the elephant in the room. "Clay, you had one job." SPruce said in his father tone. "Hey don't blame me if anyone is to blame it's Barb. She taught the kids how to pick a lock." Clay said before running off again with Brandy and Spruce in tow.
What they saw was Branch on top of a mushroom with Poppy. He had a guitar in his hands and she had the scrapbook in hers. She was holding it like it was the most precious thing ever. "Ok it is time to go." Spruce whispered as softly as he could trying not to distpurb Branch and Poppy, but his kids had wanted to hear their Uncle Branch sing so they were not going to move. Before they knew it the glow bugs were lit up creating a very romantic scene and they were starting to play a melody along to Branch's guitar playing. Then he started to sing.
Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I have to stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man, I swear she's bad, and she knows
I think that she knows
She's pretty, and she knows it
She's pretty, but I like it
Poppy was listening with a smile on her face. She could not help but open and look through the scrapbook her most amazing boyfriend had given her. It had all their adventures big and small. So many important memories and her favorite part was the lyrics to all of the songs he had written for her. Just about all of them she had heard and some he had not sung yet. She could not wait for the day she got to hear them.
She shuts the room down
The way she walks and causes a fuss
The baddest in town
She's flawless like some uncut ice
I hope she's going home with me tonight
And all she wants is to dance
That's why you'll find her on the floor
But you don't have a chance
Branch stood up and started to dance with Poppy close in his arms still singing and just being very open much to everyone's surprise. Suki and Biggie felt a little uneasy about spying on Branch again and so were Holly and Clay, but Spruce and Brandy could not help but get lost in the music and start to dance too.
Unless you move the way that she likes
That's why she's going home with me tonight
And now I walk around without a care
She's got me hooked, it just ain't fair, but I
I'm love stoned, and I could swear
That she knows
Think that she knows, oh, oh
She knows, she knows, oh, oh
"I love you so much Branch." Poppy said to her boyfriend. "I love you too. Poppy." Branch said back to her. When the song finished the adults had finally managed to get the kids out of there and much to their relief Branch and Poppy had not noticed, but Glitz did since he was there. Glitz had buzzed to Branch about heading home and Branch didn't think twice about it. Glitz had helped the six grown ups get the sixteen kids back to the bunker. By the time they had all gotten back the kids ate and fell asleep in Branch's living room. So the grown ups just brought out pillows and blankets to a spare room and carefully brought them to sleep in there and they all went back to the living room to wait for everyone else on the sofas.
Holly had turned her head to look at Biggie and started to laugh. "I am so sorry for how the day turned out." Biggie just smiled back at her still holding Mr.Dinkles. "Don't worry about it. I had fun." Biggie said back to her. The two were a little two wrapped up in each others' company that they didn't notice how quiet it had gotten or everyone was now watching them. "Hey I know it's not True Hearts Day tomorrow, but I was wondering if you would like to get dinner with me?" Biggie asked, a little shy. Holly had the biggest smile on her face. "I would love to." She said as camly as she could. "Great." Biggie said right before Mr. Dinkles yawned in his arms. Holly could not help but coo at the glowworm. "I have to go put this little guy to bed. See you tomorrow." Biggie said, now walking to the lift. Holly waved back at him. "See you tomorrow." When Biggie was gone Holly turned around to see two of her brothers giving her knowing looks and making kissy faces until Suki and Brandy both smacked him on the arm to make them stop. Suki was so happy for her two friends. They seemed really happy together.
"Well I think it is time for me to get CJ back." Suki said unenthusiastically. Clay quickly grabbed her arm before snapping it back to himself. "Or she could stay here for the night. You both could." Clay said not being able to look Suki in the eyes when he said this. Suki was blushing so much that she was redder than normal. "I mean the kids can just have a sleepover here and we could keep an eye on them." Clay said, trying to make things less awkward. Which b some stroke of grace worked in his favor because she said yes to him. Spruce knew what his brother originally meant and he also knew that Clay would take any task seriously so if he said they would watch the ends that's what they would end up doing. Brandy had no issue with a kid free house for the night; she even gave a suggestive flirt to Spruce about making baby number fourteen. Clay shivered at that thought trying his best not to gag and offend Brandy. So the married couple left to spend the rest of the night having romantic time with one another and Clay and Suki were left alone in the bunker with sleeping children. Holly decided to go tell Ozzy that Dixie will be sleeping in the bunker which he was fine with; after that she went to her pod to go to bed and dream about her date the next day.
Clay and Suki were now alone in the bunker. Sitting in awkward silence. Suki was fiddling with her head phones looking around the bunker. She never really just stopped to admire the craftsmanship it took to build it. She also stops to remind herself that she's been spending much more time here since dating Clay. She never believed when she was growing up with Branch that they would because this much in one another's lives but here she was dating his older brother and he was dating her best friend who was like a sister to her. Suki is feeling nervous but she just gets this urge this quick motivation to do something that she has been wanting to do for a while. When Clay turns to look at her she leans in to give him a kiss. It takes him a moment to realize what exactly she is doing but when he does he puts a hand behind her neck and starts to play with her dreads and has his other arms behind him bracing himself. Suki has one handnext to Clay's hip, the other on his shoulder touching his chest. He starts to lean back onto the sofa with her ontop of him, still kissing and it only becomes deeper and deeper.
Branch and Poppy finally made it back to the bunker and to his knowledge it should be clear so he and Poppy would be able to have some time to themselves. When they got on the lift to head down, Branch got bold and pulled Poppy in close to him causing her to let out a little squeak and then giggled as she played with his vest. When they got to the main area they were met with a surprise of their own. Out of all of the things they could have expected to see upon entering the now shared bunker it did not involve Suki ontop of Clay making out on his sofa. The two also did not seem to notice that they were no longer alone anymore. Branch cleared his throat giving the two a knowing look when he finally grabbed their attention. Suki nearly fell off the sofa if Clay had not balanced her. She removed herself from Clay and was now looking at Branch and Poppy; Suki was biting down on a smile unsure of what to do next. "We were just babysitting." Clay bursted out extremely frazzled to have been caught making out by his baby brother. Or nephew? Nah. Branch was still his brother.
"Babysitting? That's what we are calling it?" Branch said skeptically as he and Poppy went to join Suki and Clay on the sofa. "Well maybe not that part but in the other room are all of the kids. They had fallen asleep as soon as we got back here." Suki said still feeling a little exhausted herself from the day's earlier events. "Weren't you supposed to stay here?" Poppy asked, snuggling into Branch while also sitting next to Suki who was now looking at Clay. "Yes. That was the plan, but Barb had apparently taught some of them to pick locks so they were running around all those extra tunnels you have Branch and then they made their ways outside." Clay explained. "Yeah the two of us, Holly, Biggie, Spruce, AND Brandy had ended up chasing them to." Suki stopped herself short. She then looked at both Poppy and Branch and just bit the bullet. "We ended up where we would hide when we used to spy on you Branch. Sorry. We did try to get them to leave so the two of you would have privacy but they really wanted to hear their Uncle Branch sing. Sorry." Suki said feeling really guilty about spying on him yet again.
Poppy could not help but laugh as they told them all that had happened while babysitting. Branch also had a smile on his face. "It's fine." Branch said. Suki felt really happy at hearing that. "Really Bitty B?" Clay said leting the old nickname slip out. "Yeah, it sounds like you all had a rough time as it was. I can't get mad at what happened, it wasn't your fault." Branch explained. Poppy gave him a loving smile. "Also it's not the first time something liek this has happened." Poppy said. Clay froze thinking that she was talking about when the siblings first stumbled upon the 'secret' spot. "I know Suki already told you about us spying on Branch before the whole Bergan thing." Poppy finished explaining. Clay felt a moment of relief while trying to keep his best poker face as not to tip off Branch. Suki lowered her head. "I'm sorry Poppy. I know I said I would not say anything but it just came up naturally in conversation that just led to that and I am so sorry. They had all said that it wasn't an issue and that whatever happened between you and Branch was between the two of you. And then the thing with JD happened and." Suki started to rant but Poppy stopped her by grabbing onto her hands. "It's ok. I'm not upset." Poppy said, pulling Suki into a hug causing Branch and Clay to smile at the two girls.
"So Spruce and Brandy's kids are here?" Branch asked, a little bummed that he needed to get up early to make a big breakfast to feed everyone because there was no one he was going to trust Clay in his kitchen. "Yeah. Sorry about that, but Spruce and Brandy were really excited and I quote to get started on baby number fourteen." Clay said, causing both brothers to shiver with disgust. "Ok I did not need to know that." Branch said. "Yeah, sorry man. Hey, have you heard from John?" Clay asked, wondering where his oldest brother was. "I think Dad's gonna be staying with Mom tonight and that is still extremely weird to say." Branch said with a slight smile on his face. Then Clay and Branch looked at one another and shivered again. "Yeah I don't think any of us are ready for that just yet." Branch said. Talking about what they were implying what Spruce and Brandy were doing and what John and Val were doing. The four trolls just looked at one another before feeling a little awkward about the topic. "How about some hot chocolate!" Poppy said, trying to shift the mood to a more positive one. "I would love some." Suki said. Branch got up to make the hot cocoa so Poppy and Suki could continue talking.
When Branch came back with the steaming cups Clay grabbed two of the mugs to hand one to Suki. "So Biggie finally asked out Holly." Clay said right before he took a sip of the warm liquid. "What?!?" Poppy said, happily. Suki could not help but giggle at her friend. "Yeah." Branch smiled at that information. "Good for him. I was wondering when he was going to ask." Branch said, surprising a few of them. "Really did not take you for a romantic." Clay said jokingly. "Oh, he can be very romantic. Did you see the scrapbook he made me?" Poppy said excitingly. Suki could not help but want to see it. She knew Branch would go out of his comfort zone for Poppy but this was huge for him. Branch also knew that Poppy would want to show off the scrapbook but he told her that whoever she showed it to had to promise not to tease him about it. Poppy promised that that would not happen. Branch was feeling a little uncomfortable with the attention he was now getting so he shifted the view. "What it's no different than when the two of you started going out." Branch snarked back. Now it was Clay's turn to blush as he threw a pillow at Branch who just laughed as he caught it. They just spent the rest of the night talking and bonding with one another. It was nice.
This was a fun one to write and it was the light chapter I was looking for. I had been planning one writing a more light hearted chapter but we were not quite ready for that in our story but now we are. So I plan on seven more chapters because I will be doing song research and I have rearranged the order a bit and we will end on SexyBack before I take a break to look up some more songs and plan some pregnantcy shenanigans. Please if you have any TJ song suggestions let me know. I want to have as much fun as we reach the end. Here is my True Hearts Day gift to all of y'all.
Chapter 35 - Love Ain't - Snack Pack and Holly centered.
Chapter 36 - It'sAll Love - JD and Val try elope with Branch and Poppy as their witnesses.
Chapter 37 - Like I Love You Last Lone Concert Chapter starring Ozzy, Delta, Viva, and Peppy.
Chapter 38 - Sexy Back - Broppy Proposal!!!!!
Chapter 39 - Let's Get Married - Wedding Planning Mishaps.
Chapter 40 - Another Song - Broppy Wedding.
Chapter 41 - Friend Holiday Medley - Spruce Jr. is turning 13 and Brozone is performing just for him. The name for this chapter is called Perfect Family Harmony; it's also going to be the longest chapter in the entire story.
Y'all I need like two more songs. I have to leave some mystery. Well I hope y'all have enjoyed yet another chapter and until the next time. Bye-bye.
