Juniper, Poppy, King Peppy, Biggie, Cooper, Satin, Chenille, even Mr. Dinkles. Everyone has went silent, they knew this was the end.

Poppy let her arms loosen around me, leaning back in her sitting position. After our loss of colours, we both sat in front of each other, eyeing each other's grey bodies, finding it weird. I reached out to hold her hand, her gaze falling to our connected palms.
Holding hands, for one last time.
"I'm sorry I have been so jealous of you" I spoke up, her gaze meeting mine again, I ran a thumb over the back of her hand, before continuing. "I guess, I just wanted to be seen, as much as you do..." I spoke softly, my voice trembling, as my bottom lip vibrated.
My words, not only caught Poppy's attention, but Branch's. He has been turning his head, eyeing all of the grey Trolls surrounding him, who has lost their happiness and hope, just as he did back in time.
"I'm sorry too June, I didn't know you felt that way. I wish you've told me." Poppy said tightening her grip around my hand. "I tried my best, not to let you feel left out. But I shouldn't try to prove so with the biggest party ever." She spoke, smiling softly at me, only her lips smiling, not her eyes.
"The loudest" I spoke, smiling at her, one last time, before closing my eyes, making the silence go on.

Branch POV:
I looked at them in disbelief, i have been dealing with June's overjoyed mood for the past 2 days, and now, I actually miss it.
i'm shocked to see her mouth go downwards, seeing even Poppy's mouth go downwards. Everyone's sad mood was hurtful to witness.
Even if this is the last few hours for all of us, i wouldn't see Juniper like this as my last sight, before a Bergen's mouth, eating me.
I can't stand, her being sad and feeling hopeless. Not the girl i have fallen in love with.
I looked around at the grey Trolls beside me, thinking my plan though, this is for Juniper.
I inhaled a sharp breath, finding it hard to get the air down to my lungs.
am I ready for this...
...
🎵You with the sad eyes🎵 I sang, for the first time in years. Both Juniper and Poppy's heads, slowly lifted, both opening their eyes, looking at each other confused, then around in the crowd. Two Trolls moved from in front of me, revealing me, who was the one singing.
🎵Don't be discouraged🎵 They were both looking up at me, surprised I was the one singing, but wasn't in the mood to react to it. They both turned their heads back down, facing the ground. I noticed, every step leading me closer to them. As I stood right in front of their frames, I bend down, sitting down on my legs, beside them.
I reached my arms out, taking a hold on both their chins, turning their heads, to look at me.
🎵oh I realize. It's hard to take courage in a world full of people. You can lose sight of it all, the darkness inside you, Can make you feel so small.🎵 I noticed the smile on Poppy's face, she realised why I did this. My own lips turning into a smile.
June's Hug Time bracelet chimed, her gaze leaving me and down to the blue flower on her bracelet. My gaze lifted from her arm, to hers, opening my arms for her. I was inviting her in for a hug, but she just covered the blue light from her bracelet up, with her hand.
I looked at Poppy, my gaze faltering by Juniper's reaction. Poppy laid her hand on my shoulder, nodding to me. Poppy's bracelet lightened up as well, chiming as the little pink flower on hers, opened. The other's hug-time bracelets around us, followed shortly after, one chimed after  the other, many different colours, lightening the pot.
Poppy then stood up from her sitting position, leaving me in the middle with her sister. She approached her dad, side-hugging him, waiting for the happiness of them all to flow back.
All hopes weren't lost, a bright one was shining through Poppy.

As their bracelets were chiming softly inside the Troll pot, Bridget stood on the other side of the pot, listening with her ear against it, feeling bad for the small Trolls who was trapped inside. She got quite the shock when the chef suddenly appeared behind her. "What are you doing? The King is waiting, get those Trolls out there!" She scolded pointing out the direction with her big kitchen spoon.
"Sorry, Chef." Bridget plainly answered as she continued walking to the dining hall. "
