Trolls: Across the Galaxy

Chapter 6

Poppy: Who...who are you?

Poppy was still out of it after what she had been through, you couldn't blame her, she still had a lot to process.

Zarynx: That doesn't matter right now, Queen Poppy.

Poppy turned white, she had no idea who these people were, but they seemed to know a lot about her.

Poppy: H-How do you know my name?

Zarynx: Let's just say...your father and I have some...history.

Poppy: H-History?! What history?! What's going on?! Who are you?! Why did you kidnap me on my birthday?!

The Nubulan king started to get frustrated.

Zarynx: You're one for questions, are you? Trust me when I say that none of that matters now. But you, Queen Poppy, are going to help me out with my master plan.

Poppy: M-Master plan?

The distressed queen held onto the bars of her cell, her heart racing rapidly.

Zarynx: You'll see soon enough, Poppy, you'll be in here until I need you. Phoenix, keep an eye on her! Make sure she doesn't escape!

Phoenix: Yes, father...

Phoenix sat against the wall watching her father leave. Poppy was confused and scared, she had no idea where she was or who these people...creatures were and she barely got any answers to her million questions in her head. She sat down on the cold metal floor hugging her knees and putting her head down.

🎶When the day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes 🎶

The Nebulan princess saw Poppy singing to herself quietly trying to bring herself some comfort, she couldn't help but feel bad for her. She seemed like a very sweet young woman, what did she do to deserve this? Poppy glanced up at Phoenix and crawled over to her holding onto her bars that kept her in confinement.

Poppy: You're not like your father, are you?

Branch: Tiny, what are you doing here?!

Everyone glanced down at Tiny who had a clearly guilty look on his face.

Tiny: Uh...goo goo gaa gaa?

Branch: No Tiny, seriously!

Tiny gulped nervously when he saw everyone staring at him, and they clearly weren't happy.

Tiny: I...was looking for cookies?

Viva: You mean these cookies?

Viva held up a jar of cookies in her hand.

Branch: Hey guys, we'll deal with him later...look outside.

Everyone went to the window and glanced around, they were indeed in space.

Viva: Whoa...

Floyd: It's...it's beautiful.

Everyone was awestruck at this amazing sight, they had never been so close to the stars, or so close to the sky.

Tiny: Now this is rich!

Branch: Okay, enough sightseeing! We've got to find that ship plane thing, get Poppy back, and go home!

Branch sat in the front and began steering Rhonda.
