Pop or Rock? I'm Both

2

Branch was just practicing his guitar as he heard his brothers argue again from their concert

“No that's it me and my exquisite rock chiseled and I quit” Spruce said even taking off the vest “Same here I'm more than just the fun one I'm in a sad book club you hear that a sad book club, I'm going to find trolls who take me seriously” Clay said as Branch walked into the room looking at everyone leave as Floyd tried to make everyone stay until Branch spoke “You're all leaving?”

All of Branch brothers looked at him as if it hurt to look at his eyes

“Branch look it just hurts us to stay” Spruce said as every kept walking out Floyd looked at Branch who looked on the verge of crying “Branch look its nobody fault we have gone to boys to men and there's only one way for us to go, the backstreets”

“But not you, Floyd?” Branch asked “I have to Branch, but I won't be gone long I promise and if you miss me” Floyd went to his closet and gave Branch a black leather jacket “You can wear this it will be just like I'm right there with you” and Floyd left “Bye see you later” those words felt like poison, but Branch didn't know why.

Of course 20 years passed and Branch lived in a bunker not that he was paranoid, It's because Pop Trolls are just loud and don't understand him

Not that they mind different but his music they never understood, so he just stayed under where no one can hear how loud he can raise his voice

(Poppy)

Everybody, shake your hair and feel united, oh oh oh
Sunshine day
Everybody's laughing
Sunshine day
Everybody's singing
Sunshine day
Everybody, move your hair and feel united, oh oh oh
Yeah! Oh!
Yeah!

Branch groaned, but he liked how loud Poppy can be he left the bunker as he saw all of the Snack Pack panting as he gave them all a slow clap

“Yeah that's great guys I can hear you all from my bunker” Branch said as Poppy got down “Oh good was worried we weren't projecting loud enough” Branch shrugged “Probably can be louder” Branch said even played with his earrings

“Oh that's a good idea Branch” Poppy said as Branch shrugged again until “Well hello mate” Branch groaned as Creek flouted in front of him “Y'know Branch you should wear more color, a bit of color will go with that jacket” Branch slapped his hand away from his jacket

“Anyway Princess Poppy I do think you should be careful sure we've been safe for 20 years but remember Bergen's can still find us” Branch warned

He knows how big they are, and his Grandma almost got eaten had the fact Branch knew how to do a power chord and saved her he was sure he would have gone gray

Even now, his Grandmother passed, and his friends have been helping him grieve as he showed them how to make Rock Songs while he tried doing their Boy Band stuff

He actually liked it he was considering trying to make a Pop Song, but that memory of his brothers is still too fresh

“Branch as your Princess I want you not to worry anyway here's your invitation” Branch grabbed it as glitter went to his eyes as he looked at her “Princess I'm just trying to remind you caution while I'm glad you optimism is great it won't help make me feel safe” Branch left with the invitation as he got under the bunker again he saw them

“Hello friends who don't live here,” Branch said as Hype was eating his rock candy, “Hey B!” “Hype, what are you doing here? I gave you guys the key for an emergency?” “You ran out of crackers” Trickee said from the back eating the last cracker “Anyway we're here to ditch the party” Branch sighed as he let them do what they want

He was going to his room until an idea Pop into his head, “Hey guys?” Branch asked as all of his friends looked at him, “Mind helping me do a Pop song?” All of the Kismet members smiled.

Okay, so Pop was different from Rock by some standards, but it's the first Pop song he made and now the choreo he wasn't a dancer, but he learned and actually, it was fun

Especially when Hype tried doing the robot like Clay did

But then the party started so they were playing rummy until the heard knocking on the door Branch got up (And lost $50 for penalties) and saw Poppy

“Poppy? I'm not going to your party not enough energy to-” “Branch this isn't about the party we got attacked by a bergen”
