Comeback Tour

The Years Go On

A few years had passed since BroZone had split up, Aurora tried moving on from John Dory, but found it hard to do. Now as a gorgeous, young adult, who had caught the attention of a few other trolls, she found it hard to find a moment of peace from different 'suitors'. "So, what'cha say to going out tonight?" A green male troll leaned up against the tree, almost caging Aurora in who could only laugh, "No thanks, I'm a little busy tonight," "Oh, with what?" He questioned, leaning in closer to Aurora, who slipped past him, causing him to face plant onto the tree and stumble to the ground, "With being anywhere but here, thanks but no thanks," Aurora waved over her shoulder, sliding down one of the branches of the Troll Tree and began making her way home.

"Hey Aurora," another troll called, her eyes turning to find two other male trolls waiting for her, recognizing them as audience members who frequent her performances, "Oh hey guys! What's up? Can I help you with anything?" " Nah! We just can't wait to see your next gig, the beat and lyrics had us feeling amazing the other night," the two males held hands as she laughed, "You don't think it's a little weird? Some of the other trolls think it's not that great because it's not all up beat and such," "Not at all! Even if the meaning is a little different than those of us are used to, we love it! It really makes you think about the other kinds of songs there are out there, and let's be honest, some pop songs get a little repetitive after a while, am I right?," Aurora laughed, agreeing and waved bye to them, promising an epic performance next time, and when they were out of sight she let her smile drop a little as she thought back to John Dory.

What the other trolls didn't know was that she would sing her feelings for John Dory out through those songs, thinking back to a time with soft touches and lingering glances. Thoughts of what could have been and what would've been if he'd just stayed. Her songs had a small sensual flare to it, the lyrics more deep than the average Pop song the trolls sang which were usually upbeat and happy. Some were angry, some were giving off 'I Don't Give A Fuck' Vibe, which seemed to draw some of the trolls in.

One of her biggest supporters was Princess Viva, the oldest daughter of King Peppy who would come to her show on a weekly basis. They became best friends during a intermission where Viva gushed over Aurora's voice and Aurora requited the adoration with how pretty Viva was, both clicking instantly and you would find the two attached at the hip when not busy with other responsibilities.

Aurora's heart was crushed when finding out that Princess Viva had been lost to the Burgens during the Escape from Troll Tree, finding herself alone if not for Branch who kept her hopeful. Watching Poppy grow up from a distance as the similarities between the two princesses made Aurora tearful every now and again, but found the strength to have decent conversations with Poppy as a child and promising King Peppy to not mention Viva to the young princess.

After Pop Village was built, the years flew by and before they knew it twenty years had passed. Aurora was now a mid thirties adult, small smile lines on her face but she was still one of the most beautiful trolls in the village, her blue eyes still shining bright. Her hair had grown almost floor length, the white sticking out against the green of the forest around them, mainly styled in a half up and half down fashion with a bun atop her head bangs framing her face softly. Many of the younger trolls thought of her as a role model, her confidence and passion being a big driver for her songs, which could be a little on the controversial side.

As all of Troll kind came together after Queen Barbs almost hostile take over, Aurora had made friends with many of the other trolls, like Queen Essence who loved having Aurora visit the Funk Trolls to have a good jam session as their vibes mixed and found joy in performing together. Aurora especially loved visiting the soon to be Queen Bridget as Bridget was a big fan of Aurora's songs, wanting a performance almost weekly in the castle. Bridget had even asked Aurora to help plan the Royal Wedding as Poppy was going to be busy being Maid of Honor to Bridget. Aurora felt honored and agreed right away, Branch happy to see his older sister finding joy in her life other than him and taking care of the baby trolls.

Poppy felt excited knowing her best friend was getting married, "I can't wait to work together, Aurora! It's gonna be so fabulous," Poppy gushed, running up to Aurora who gave her a kind smile, "Of course Poppy, we'll make it a day for Bridget to remember," Poppy squealed, hugging Aurora who had to remind herself to breathe, hugging the Princess back. "Well, I will see you later to start talking about details." Aurora gave a wave, exciting the castle to head back to the Troll Tree.

"Branch, have you ever noticed Aurora is so tense around me? I mean I don't know how older sisters are, but yours is definitely amazing, maybe she's just nervous around me? Is it because we're dating? What should I do to help?" Poppy began to ramble, Branch smiling at his girlfriend and grabbed her hands, Poppy smiling as she looked to him, "Aurora loves you, maybe she's just on edge due to her baby brother finding someone perfect," Poppy gasped, "THAT'S IT!" scaring Branch, causing him to back away from her for a second, "What's it?"

"We need to set Aurora up with someone!" Poppy explained, jumping up and down in excitement, Branch looking around nervously, "Poppy, I don't think-" "This is perfect! She'll have someone, you have me and Bridget has Gristle," "Poppy!" Branch said loud, catching the princess's attention, "Oh, sorry, what's wrong?" "Aurora might not like that,"  He explained, "She really loved one guy, but he left her, left us," He growled, mumbling the last part to himself. "Oh, I didn't know," Poppy put her hand on Branch's shoulder, his weak smile with sad eyes meeting her worried ones, "She doesn't like to talk about it, plus, if you listen to her songs, it kind of explains it,"  "Oh," Poppy thought, before remembering how the songs really were, "OH!"

"Yeah, so maybe we should just leave her for now? Focus on Bridget and Gristle?" Branch offered, Poppy giving a small smile and nodded, both heading back for the Troll Tree.
