TROLLS - ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE [DISCONTINUED]

- CHAPTER 3 -

...

The crowd was still cheering loudly, waiting for Branch, or Bitty B, to appear on stage and bring the drop to the song.

Between the excited trolls, Poppy was clapping her hands to the beat, encouraging the boyband in their perfomance... only some green hair grabbed her leg and pulled her away.

- WOAH!

She gasped, trying to get free, only to realize it was Fuzzbert. He looked terrified, shaking his mane of apple green hair around and crying for help, anyone that would know what to do about the accident he thought had been caused by him only.

- Fuzzbert ?? The queen called his name.

He was way too much shocked to listen to her and was trying to explain everything at the same time, and he was already hard to understand !! Time was running short and Poppy did not wanted to miss Branch's perfomance, but she still had responsabilities as a queen;

- Fuzzbert ! She called again, Hey hey buddy relax ! I can't understand waht you are saying at all !! What's going on exactly?? Deep breathes !

Finally, the fuzzling managed to breathe and point to the sky.

She saw.

- Oh frosting...

.

- You're ready ?? Floyd asked him.

It was his cue soon but he still wanted to make sure his closest brother was doing alright. Branch seemed terrified; it had been years since he hadn't done that choreography.

- Can you repeat it again? Branch asked, visibily sweating like a puffalo.

- Sure ! Just jump up, kick back, whip around and spin... and then jump back, do it again!

- Urgh, that sounds like the theme song of a kid show about ninjas fighting snakes and evil !! Branch held his head between his hands, his brain couldn't process anything.

- Because it literally is... Floyd remembered, But that's not the point ! You were 2 years old when you learned it, you surely still can do it !

Floyd's hug time watch opened, glowing and making the familiar bell signal, his cue was in 30 seconds.

- I gotta go, you got this okay?? I believe in you Bitty B ! He ruffled his hair.

Branch went to his place, preparing to dance and hide his anxiety behind a huge smile. Sometimes he wished he would be confident just like when he was a 2 year old baby, just so he could connect with his brothers so easily again. His brothers always wanted to do loud, crazy things, how could he explain to them he wasn't loud and crazy like he used to be ?

The countdown to open the curtain started; in 3... 2...

Only the 1 never came. Branch heard a familiar scream; Poppy ! She was in danger !
