Poppy ran into the room and saw all the trolls hanging their heads.
"Hey? What's wrong?" Poppy asked. Queen Pixel was coiled on the ground and Queen Soprano was sitting in a large chair.
"The other trolls aren't exactly on board with getting the leaders to join us." King Beat sighed.
"What? Why!" Poppy asked.
"Because they don't know harmony the way other trolls do." Rusty said.
"Don't give up you guys!" Poppy encouraged.
Queen Soprano looked at her,
"I am not a stranger to the dark."
Rusty stood up and joined.
"Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts." She held up a broken bowling ball.
"I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars," King Beat said, showing off a huge scar on his leg.
"Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are." Queen Soprano sang.
"But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are gloriousWhen the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me!"
They walked out and all the trolls gasped seeing them but Queen Soprano stood tall and sang.
"Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!"
Queen Pixel put her hand of Queen Soprano's shoulder.
"Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away! 'Cause today, I won't let the shame sink in!"
King Beat joined in.
"We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become! (yeah, that's what we've become)"
Everyone danced and sung while the trolls started to cheer and sing.
"I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious!!!When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen (Branch watched Poppy dance and he went over to King Peppy's pod.)
I make no apologies, this is me!"
Everyone sung. "Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me!"
Queen Soprano sung high notes and danced with everyone else.
"And I know that I deserve your love!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) There's nothing I'm not worthy of!!!
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)!"
Everyone slowed down dramatically and Queen Soprano sung solo.
"When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me."
Everyone went back to a normal speed.
"Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is meWhen the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown 'em out
Oh
This is me!"
Everyone posed and the trolls cheered and clapped.
Meanwhile
Branch knocked on the door to King Peppy's pod.
King Peppy opened the door and was surprised to find Branch.
"Hello. What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I wanted to ask something that involved Poppy." Branch said anxiously.
"Ok, come in." King Peppy said, and opened the door all the way.
Branch sat down by a chair and King Peppy sat across.
"So! What did you want to ask?" He said, and took a drink of water
Branch bit his lip. "I want permission to marry Poppy." He said quickly.
King Peppy spit out the water.
"What? Well that was unexpected." He said.
"I know it's a big jump, but I also know it would make both of us very happy." Branch said.
King Peppy stroked his mustaches.
"No, I don't believe Poppy is ready to get married." He said.
Branch thought his heart had stopped.
"What?" He asked.
"Yes, maybe in a few decades." Peppy said.
Little did anyone know, Poppy was peaking in the window. When she heard what her dad had said, she ran off, but she stepped on a stick and Branch jerked his head to the window.
"Thanks for the chat King Peppy, but I gotta go." He said.
Poppy ran off the the middle of the show room and practiced knotting the rope. One of the classical trolls had taught her how to do trapeze.
"The bunny goes around the hole, and you give it a necklace!" Poppy recited.
"You know I want you." A voice said from the back. Poppy looked back and it was Branch.
Poppy sighed. "I thought we wouldn't have to bring this up." Poppy said, eyes welling.
"It's not a secret I tried to hide." he kept going.
"I know you want me, so don't keep saying ours hands are tied." Poppy was on the verge of tears and focused back on the rope.
"You claim it's not in the cards, the fate is pulling you miles away and out of reach from me, but your here in my heart, so who can stop me if I, decide, that your my destiny?" he sung and Poppy used her hair to throw up the rope.
"What if we Rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?" Branch walked 2 inches from her face and held her waist.
"Nothing could keep us apart!
You'd be the one I was meant to find.
It's up to you, and it's up to me.
No one can say what we get to be.
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours,
Tonight."
Poppy pulled on the rope she remembered and she flew up.
"You think it's easy, you think I don't run to you?" Poppy hopped down. "But there are mountains. And there are doors we can't walk through. I know your wondering why, because we're able to be just you and me, within the walls, but when we go outside, your gonna wake up and see, that it was hopeless after all..."
"No one can Rewrite the stars,
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart, and I'm not the one you were meant to find.
It's not up to you, it's not up to me,
When everyone tells us what we can be,
How can we Rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours, tonight."
Poppy dropped down and grabbed Branch's hand and they flew up.
"All I want is the fly with you." The duo flew up the the ceiling
"All I want is to fall with you." Then Branch only grabbed Poppy's hand and she touched the ground.
"So just give me all of you!" Poppy pulled down Branch.
"It feels impossible!" Poppy said and grabbed a rope and spun around.
"It's not impossible!" Branch said and swung with Poppy.
"Is it impossible" Poppy asked.
" Say that it's possible!" They sang together.
"How do we Rewrite the stars?" Branch stopped spinning and Poppy flew across the room.
"Say you were made to be mine!
Nothing can keep us apart!
Cause you are the one I was meant to find!
It's up to you and it's up to me!
No one can say what we get to be." Branch started climbing on the walls and got ready to jump.
"Why don't we," Branch jumped and Poppy caught him and they swung together.
"REWRITE THE STARS
CHANGING THE WORLD TO BE OURS!"
Poppy and Branch soon slowed down and kissed.
"Hmm, I suppose that's pretty passionate." A voice said.
Poppy and Branch parted and saw King Peppy watching them.
"Yes, I do suppose that I've made a decision." He nodded.
Peppy turned to Branch and nodded.
"Yes. You do have permission to marry my daughter." He said.
Branch smiled and turned to Poppy.
"In that case..." Poppy smiled.
"Queen Poppy, will you marry me?" He asked.
Poppy covered her mouth to keep from crying and King Peppy smiled seeing his daughter so happy.
"YES!" Poppy said.
And they shared a kiss that sealed the deal.
