Poppy's Extraordinary Playlist

Chapter 2

- DJ! DJ! Wake up!

- Huh?

Poppy trembled her so hard without any results. Suki was known as really hard to wake up and it was not without the reason: she couldn't come back to reality by calling or shaking. She couldn't even open her eyes. She was just snoring as she was snoring before Poppy went into her pod.

- Suki! I need your help! - Poppy didn't give up. - You know trolls better than me, cause of these parties you did every day! I need information! WAKE UP!

- Poppy... - Suki snored unawares. - Gimme a sec... I... Got... A nap...

- You're napping for hours! - Poppy said. - Please, I need your help now!

- Why is that so urgent? - Suki opened her eyes trying to sit on her own.

Poppy stopped. Why was it so urgent? She didn't know. She knew there were lots of Trolls needing her help. And she knew she really needed to do something, anything! Anything but thinking or feeling...

- Please... - Poppy put her hands together as if she was praying.

Suki finally sat straight on the couch and looked at Poppy clicking her tongue twice.

- What do you need? - She asked with a more strong voice.

- Do you know something about the gray troll in our Village? - Poppy asked.

DJ was thinking for a while, frowning and clicking her tongue.

- You mean Branch?

- Yes, this one's sitting on the branch above the Village - Poppy nodded excitedly.

- No no no, Poppy, his name is literally Branch - She said, stressing the last word.

- Oh... - Poppy was surprised.

- Is it that weird? Your name is literally Poppy!

- No, I mean... Did Trolls name him Branch because of his sitting on the branch the whole day and watching the Village? - Poppy asked.

- What? No... No one saw him on the branch above the Village. You did?

- Yes, and...

- And you think what? Why did your parents name you 'Poppy'? Because your hair is poppy or you're the princess of pop trolls and they thought "Oh, Let's name her Poppy! She will be Poppy Queen of Pop! Poppy the Pop troll! It's really funny!" or maybe because you popped out your Mother 's hair and they were like "Oh, she just popped out from the hair, let's name her...

- Okay, okay, I understand, please stop - Poppy was laughing so much. - So his name is Branch. Just Branch. Only Branch. Without any reason.

- Yea, you Sherlock - Suki yawned, rubbing her eyes.

- So... Do you know anything else about him? - Poppy asked.

- Let me see - Suki looked, still quite sleepy, on the floor. - He's really mean, always angry, hates parties, hates everything, talks with no one, lives alone in the Forest, why are you asking? - She said it really fast, all in one breath.

- Well, he's gray and I'm the Queen so...

- But you have a boyfriend, girl! - Suki interrupted her.

- What? What?? Suki! You're really still sleeping right now!

- And what are we talking about? - DJ said pretending to be much more asleep than she actually was. Poppy laughed.

- Branch. How could I help him?

- With what? - Suki said confusedly.

- Returning his happiness of course! - Poppy smiled widely.
