Willow and Branch were spending time with Poppy in her pod when they received a card from Bridget and King Gristle. Poppy looked at the card. "Huh," She handed it to Willow, who looked amused. It was a picture of Bridget and Gristle with the word 'Wednesday' in the background. "Well, that's consistent."

Willow nodded and placed it with the rest of the cards. "We could make a calendar now," she said, cheerfully looking at the pictures of the days of the week their friends sent them.

"Branch," Poppy said, looking at her friend. He was snarling in front of the mirror. "Bridget sent another card. Wha-what are you doing?" She jumped forward, concerned. "Are you about to barf? I'll get a trash can."

"What?" Branch asked, confused. "No. I'm practicing my smile." He crossed his arms. "Y-you know, I'm new to this whole 'being happy' thing."

"Oh," Poppy smiled, relaxing. "Well, here, let me help. Smiles are my jam." Willow started laughing as Poppy adjusted Branch's face into a painful grimace. "That's a smile?" She asked when they were done. "You're face looks stuck. Bro, you can't practice smiling." She gently pushed Poppy to the side and squished her brother's cheeks together before pulling them gently down. "If you force a smile, it'll look insincere and it'll hurt your face." She smiled gently. "You have to relax. You've smiled tons of times. Don't force it."

Branch nodded and looked at the cards on the wall. "What is the deal with these cards?" He asked. "Monday. Friday. Sunday Mid-Morning?"

Poppy smiled. "It's like ever since Trollstice was canceled, the Bergens don't have anything to look forward to." She frowned looking at the card Branch pulled off the wall. "I feel terrible for them." She gasped, an idea forming. "Ooh!"

"Oh no," Branch said, staring at Poppy. "I know what that look means. You're about to hatch an elaborate plan that involves a lot of hugging, singing, dancing, and...glitter."

"You know it," Poppy grinned, suddenly excited.

"Okay," Branch said as he and Willow walked to the door of Poppy's pod. "Promise me you'll sleep on it before you rush into something like always." He looked at her expectantly.

"Okay," Poppy placed both hands before her and looked to the side. "I won't do anything."

Willow snorted and followed Branch to the bunker. "You know she's not going to sleep, right?"

Branch rolled his eyes. "Yeah. We're probably going to be doing something stupid tomorrow."

(Branch)

Just call me angel of the morning, Angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

I'm going down into the bunker, Angel

and I'd be sipping on coffee in the morning, baby

"Good morning, Branch!" Poppy called while Branch took a sip of coffee.

Branch gasped and jumped to the side, dropping his coffee. "Poppy's here," Willow said, drinking her coffee and reading her book.

Branch looked at where she was sitting on the couch, unamused. "Thanks for the warning, sis." Willow gave a salute and continued reading her book. "Poppy," he greeted, tired. He picked up his coffee cup. "You didn't sleep on it." Poppy confirmed his theory. "And you probably got a crazy plan." This was also confirmed.

"I decided the Bergens need a new holiday and nobody knows holidays better than us," Poppy said, following Branch. "We'll just give them one of ours."

"Before you ask," Willow said, closing her book and following her brother. "I did not give her sugar. She also did not tell me this plan of hers."

Branch dusted himself off and nodded in understanding. "And why are we doing this?" He asked.

"Bridget is my best friend," Poppy said. "They deserve to have a day of dancing and singing and costumes and presents and glitter," Poppy poured some coffee into Branch's cup before taking it. She downed the entire cup before giving it back. "So much flipping glitter."

"Poppy, are you sure this is a good idea?" Branch asked, filling his cup with more coffee.

"Absolutely," Poppy said, hands on her hips. "This is what I do. I take care of my friends. And this is how we're going to do it." She pulled out a scrapbook. "First, break into Branch and Willow's bunker and get them on board." She showed them a scrapbook version of themselves saying 'We're on board!' "We set off for Bergen Town, and we arrive with as much dramatic flair as possible. We see Gristle and Bridget and do some hugging. We pitch them our holidays, their minds are blown! And that's how we'll give Bridget and the Bergens a new holiday!"

Willow grinned when a high-pitched voice sang 'holiday!' and the card shot glitter at Branch and into his coffee. She jumped back in surprise when the rest of the Snack Pack appeared from where they were hiding and shouted "Holiday!"

She looked at everyone, surprised. "When did you all get here?" She asked, looking at her friends.

"Oh we've been here for hours," Cooper said, grinning.

Willow smiled nervously. "Great." She looked at Branch. "We need to update our security systems." If it was just Poppy, it would have been fine. It was less fine knowing anyone could come into their home if they wanted.

Branch nodded. "Agreed." He sighed and looked at the green robe he was wearing. "I'll go put on some pants." He started walking to the elevator. "And maybe get a shower."

Willow looked at her nightclothes and grimaced. "I should do the same," she said, following. She looked at her friends as they stood on the elevator. "Can you guys meet us up top? We'll be ready in a few minutes." The group nodded and the siblings went up to their sleeping area to get ready for the adventure Poppy was dragging them on.

When the duo was ready, they joined the Snack Pack to wait for Poppy. Branch was practicing his smile again, and scared Biggie with it. Willow rolled her eyes and smacked him on the shoulder before forcing his face to relax again. She glared at him. "Stop forcing it. Your face will stick like that if you keep it up."

When the caterbus arrived, the friends climbed on and sat down. "Welcome to the Caterbus Express," A familiar voice said. Willow groaned. Oh no, not him. She looked up to see Cloud Guy at the steering wheel. He grinned. "Hey, guys. Captain No-slappy." He pointed at Poppy. "Queen Poppy." Poppy greeted him back. "And Willow! So glad you could come."

Willow smiled, annoyance clear on her face. "Starting to regret that choice, actually."

Cloud Guy just grinned and grabbed the speaker. "Please put away all electronics, safely stow your carry-ons, and hold on to your Dinkles. Thank you for choosing the Caterbus, which is the safest way to travel. Unless we go into a wormhole."

"I'm sorry," Branch held up a hand. "Did-did you just say wormhole?" Their group had a few adventures with wormholes and he didn't want to go into another one.

Willow groaned. "Now that he put it into the universe, we are definitely going into a wormhole."

"Now sit back, relax, and feel the love," Cloud Guy said, ignoring the siblings. He had the Caterbus take off. Poppy jumped up and started singing.

(Poppy)

People all over the world, join hands

She pulled Branch up so he was standing on the seat with her.

Start a love train, love train

Branch rolled his eyes but grinned when Poppy tapped his nose Poppy jumped to the other side of the bus.

(Branch and Poppy)

People all over the world, join hands

Start a love train, a love train

(Poppy)

The next stop

That we make will be soon

(Branch)

Tell all the folks in Bergen Town

We're bringin' it all to you

Bigge had Mr. Dinkles dressed as a train conductor and had him dancing.

(Biggie)

Now please don't miss

The train at the station

(Satin and Chenille)

'Cause if you miss it

I feel sorry, sorry for you

(Biggie)

Well

(The girls)

People all over the world

(Branch)

Sisters and brothers

(Cooper)

Join hands

(Everyone)

Start a love train

The song stopped when they realized Cloud Guys had started dancing with them. Willow looked at him, shocked. Who was driving?

"Uh, who's driving the bus?" Branch asked out loud. The group looked at the steering wheel. Just what they were afraid of. Nobody was driving. The group started screaming when the bus drove off a cliff and directly into a worm's mouth. "Wormhole!" Cloud Guy shouted as they were being swallowed.

The wormhole was full of bright colors and dizzying lights. Gravity was off and everyone was floating. They could hear a distorted version of "Love Train" being played. "You guys," Cooper said looking at everyone. "I don't feel so good."

Willow nodded and looked at her friends dizzily. "Same here." Her friends looked plastic. She looked at her hands. Everything felt wrong. When they made it out of the wormhole, everything was back to normal. Willow moved to sit by Branch while everyone but Branch started singing again like nothing happened.

Branch looked at his sister, who had a green tint to her usual light blue complexion. "Are you okay?"

Willow nodded, still a little nauseous. "I'll be fine." She resisted the urge to hurl. "That was worse than the other wormholes we've been through." Branch nodded. The others were just swirling vortexes.

The Caterbus landed in front of the Bergen Town castle doors. When the group climbed out of the bus and started heading for the doors, Poppy turned around. "Guy Diamond, you're on glitter."

Guy grinned. "Glitter at the ready."

"Cooper," She pointed at Cooper. "Pyrotechnics."

Cooper held up a blowtorch, and fireworks and was wearing a welding mask. "Fire at the ready."

"Satin, Chenille, festive outfits."

"On it," The twins said, grinning.

Branch walked between the twins wearing the bottom half of his costume. "Uh, Poppy, about these costumes."

"Branch," Poppy said, exasperated. "We've been over this. It's not a holiday without costumes!" She grinned. "So put on your big-boy pants and let's go in there, in three, two, one." She pushed the door open. "Stop everything!" She shouted to see Bridget and Gristle sitting on the thrones doing nothing.

Bridget jumped up and ran to Poppy to start their usual greeting. Branch looked up to Gristly. "'Sup?"

"It's so good to see you, Poppy!" Bridget said, smiling. "Um, what are you doing here?"

"Funny you should ask," Poppy grinned when Bridget set her down. She pointed to Smidge. "Hit it, Smidge!" Smidge stood by the breakers and shut off all the lights. She turned on one light and illuminated a giant box in the center of the floor. Cooper and Biggie pulled it open and a stage popped out with a smaller version of the Troll Tree and a mountain on top of it. "Lady and gentleman, we are here to solve your problems!" Poppy said, stepping out of the stage.

"We have problems?" Bridget asked, confused.

"But don't worry," Poppy continued. "We have the solution. You guys need a new holiday!"

"Why do we need a holiday?"Willow frowned at Bridget's confusion. This was not going to go well.

"How else are you gonna get presents and wear awesome costumes? And play 'How many marshmallows can you fit in your mouth?'"

"My goodness," Gristle said, concerned. "Excuse me. Have you not been getting our cards back?"

"Uh, yeah," Branch said, walking to stand beside Poppy. "I especially love the Wednesday one. You know, it made me appreciate the middle of the week."

"Middle of the week," Gristle said, victorious. "Knew it."

"My favorite was Sunday mid-morning," Willow chimed in helpfully.

"Look, we care about you guys," Poppy said, stepping forward. "And we want to make sure you have something to celebrate. And here's the great news. The Trolls have like, a kajillion holidays, so you can have one of ours!"

Willow crossed her arms in thought. "Actually," She spoke up. "The more I think about it, the more this feels like a bad idea."

Branch looked at his sister. "You couldn't have said something at the village?" He asked.

Willow shrugged. "It sounded like a good idea at the time!"

Branch rolled his eyes as the lights shut off. "Well, it's too late now. Get in position. The show is going to start soon."

So Willow may not be as on board as she thought she was. I was going to make this one chapter, but it was going to get too long. So I'm splitting it. Part two should be out soon. My updating schedule may be a little off as I'm working 10 hour days right now, so I am sorry if chapters take longer. Until next time!
