Poppy and I, has been up all night, working on our little project. We didn't plan up staying up all night, but we finished up, before we even noticed the sun has risen. Now it was time for step one of our plan.

We snuck our way down into Branch's bunker, just some moments before he wakes up. I had extra key and also knew a secret entrance, if the key unluckily should break.
I didn't, so no trouble needed. Usually know his daily schedule and his sleep schedule, he should still be asleep.
We stood in the darkness, waiting for him to come down.
🎵Just call me angel, Of the morning, angel. We heard faint singing, and a yawn mid sentence as the platform was moving.
🎵Just touch my cheek before you leave me, Baby!🎵 He was coming into view, he stood, leaning on the lever, with a coffee in his other hand.
🎵I'm going down into the bunker, angel. And I'll be sippin' on coffee in the morning, baby-🎵 He has now landed in front, his back facing us, as we snickered to each other. His little song was beautiful thought.
He got caught off guard, ready to sip his coffee, when Poppy suddenly shouted. "GOODMORNING BRANCH!" Which made him scream and jump up in shock, landing a few feet from the platform. He dropped his coffee cup, spilling the liquid all over the floor. As I witnessed the scene I couldn't contain my laugh anymore, bowing down, leaning on my knee as I couldn't breathe.
He let out a deep sigh by the sight of us, and bended down to pick up his coffee cup from the floor again. "Girls, you didn't sleep on it-" He started.
"Not a wink!" I interrupted, after calming myself down from my fit of laughter.
"And you probably got a crazy plan-"
"And, yes we do!" Poppy interrupted him, again. We followed behind him, as he walked towards his coffee table.
"We decided the Bergens need a new Holiday! And nobody knows Holidays better than us, we'll just give them one of ours!" I finished, stretching both my arms to both sides, making jazz hands at him, Poppy doing the same. He didn't seem, by the gaze he was sending us, very fond of our exciting plan, or maybe he was just tired, now that he didn't get his usual morning coffee at exactly 8 AM. If you follow his schedule.
"And why are we doing this?" He asked again, wiping some of the coffee he spilled on himself off of his cloak.
"Bridget is our best friend-" Poppy started.
"And they all deserve to have a day of dancing.." I then stated.
"And singing!" Poppy continued as Branch poured some more coffee for himself.
I was really tired, but super ready for this plan. As he finished pouring the steaming hot liquid into his cup, I reached out and snatched it from his grasp, taking a sip out of it. "And costumes, uh and presents! And Glitter!" I continued, now with more energy in my body, the coffee flowing in my veins. I then handed the cup to her, letting her drink the rest of the coffee inside.
Branch looked taken aback by our sudden move. He stumbled a step backwards, as the cup got shoved back into his hands, both our widened gazes at him, waiting for his response.
"Are you two sure this is a good idea?" He asked, again, pouring more coffee up.
"Absolutely, this is what I do as Queen!" Poppy answered. "We take care of our friends!"
"And this is how we're gonna do it!" I added handing Poppy the scrapbook we've been working on for the entire night, from sundown to sun rising.
"Step one, break into Branch's bunker and get him on board!" Poppy read up, showing him a scrapbooked picture, of the exact moment, which just has happened.
"What?" Real Branch spoke. "I'm on board!" Mini Branch spoke.
"Step two, we set off to Bergen Town, and we arrive with as much dramatic flair as possible!" A new picture popping out, of all of us, including Biggie, Cooper, Satin, Chenille, Guy Diamond, Smidge, and of course Mr. Dinkles, appeared. "And then we do some hugging-"
"Step three, we pitch them our Holidays. Their minds are BLOWN!" Poppy tightened her fist and spread it on the side of her head, making it look like her mind was blown.
"And that's how we're going to give Bridget, and all the Bergens a new Holiday!" I spoke as the sign 'Holiday' popped out of the book, saying in a high pitched tone: Holiday!
A blast of glitter got shut into Branch's face. Again my idea, I know he loves me for it.
He just shook his head, not responding, leaning down to drink his now cold coffee. But he jumped up in shock again as Trolls appeared from behind the curtain behind us, yelling out. "HOLIDAY!"
This time Branch's cup flew up and spilled all over him, from head to toe. The cup landed on top of his head, making a thud sound, before hitting the floor with another thud. Poppy and I, were fighting not to laugh, the tears spilling out our eyes as we struggled, but couldn't hold it. Falling into a fit of laughter, as he sighed again, looking down at himself.
"I'm'a go put on some pants..." he groaned, walking off towards his bedroom.

The others left his bunker, packing everything for our little trip to BergenTown. I've told Poppy to wait on me, as I would wait for Branch. She simply nodded in agreement, and left his bunker with the others.
I stood on Branch's Platform waiting for him to get changed, his hair has turned all chocolate brown, from the liquid spilling over him, I wouldn't be surprised if he took a quick shower.
My thoughts got interrupted by a door opening and closing again, and my boyfriend appearing from the hallway left from his platform. He had his regular outfit on, with his brown shorts and green vest that I loved so dearly.
"You ready to blow some minds?" I asked him, clapping my hands in excitement, as he stepped on to platform, beside me. Taking a hold of the lever as we started moving upwards.
"Mhm." He simply hummed, not meeting my gaze as I moved mine to him. "What? What's the matter?" He couldn't be upset in secret, I always noticed, as well as he did when it was me, even when it happened rarely.
"I would have been, if I got my coffee." He complained. I stepped closer to him, leaning my head on his shoulder blade, reaching my hand out from my side, to take his hand. "I'm glad you're coming anyway."
I could feel a kiss get planted on my forehead, just before the light shone though from above, meaning we've reached the surface. He held into my hand tighter, my head lifting from his shoulder as we walked towards the others, we noticed in the distance.
"I knew you wouldn't be grumpy all day."
"The Coffee Angel, the Coffee" he spoke, leaning in to dramatically whisper in my ear, as he laughed lightly, the sound vibrating into my ear, making my knees weak. The sound of his happiness. Made my day, as I couldn't help but laugh with him.

Certain their Holiday mission would be a success, Poppy and Juniper chartered a ride on the Caterbus Express.
