Everyone craned their necks to see who had said that, it was a Troll making quite the entrance. He was using the banners that they had set up around the venue as a way to get down. They had similar skin color to Branch when he had first gotten his colors back and cyan hair with tinted skiing goggles on.

"Uh, Bridget, do you know this guy?" said King Gristle to Bridget, confused.

"I can't remember all my suitors, Grissy." said Bridget. "What about you Y/N, do you know him?"

"No, I've never seen this guy in my whole time being here." you squint your eyes while looking at him.

The guests followed the newcomer closely as he did different tricks and stunts across the venue before landing at the front of the guests.

Why can't anything turn out normally in this place?

"Sorry, is this bad timing?" the mystery Troll said searching around near where you, Poppy and Branch were.

Branch gasped when he saw him and looked at you, "Y/N hide me." he said desperately.

"Why?" you say. Your brain was being slow and all you could do in those short seconds was look at him.

"I'm just trying to find a Troll named-" the Troll continued to say then screamed when he saw Branch, "Baby Branch!" The Troll ran up to Branch with his arms out wide.

"Uh, you're making a mistake, stranger that looks similar to me." Branch said, defectively with his eyes going from you to him "There's no Branch here."

You start going back and forth between the two of them like you were watching a tennis ball match. They did look alike but Branch had never mentioned anyone who looked like him before. And the way the other Troll was talking to him made it seem like they were related in some way. This wasn't Branch's dad or a weird uncle was it?

"Look at you. You got so big. You're not a branch anymore. You're more like a trunk." The Troll turned him around, "Junk in the trunk." he said as he drew his hand back and slapped his checks.

Your jaw dropped.

"Ow!" Screamed Branch holding his tushie.

The Bergens and Trolls at the wedding looked appalled by what they were witnessing right in front of them.

"I bet you I can still pick you up. Come on." The cyan haired Troll to attempt to pick poor Branch up as he tried to claw his way out.

You covered your mouth with your hand and out of the corner of your eye you see Poppy with a similar look of shock.

"Ooh, you got heavy." The Troll committed with Branch on top of him. The Troll yelped as he put a hand on his back, seeming to have gotten muscle spasms, "There goes my back." he said as Branch cried out. "Oh! Charley horse. Oh, God. Two charley horses."

Branch was able to finally get off of the Troll and walked away embarrassed.

You shake your head, "ok that's enough now." you say putting your hand in between Branch and the unknown Troll. "I don't care who you are but you're not gonna touch my boyfriend like that."

The Troll gasped so loudly he almost broke the sound barrier and pointed directly at you.

"That's who you're dating, Branch?" he yelled, looking around like it could have been some kind of joke. "They're huge!"

Branch who was still rubbing his sore rear end slowly turned with a face of horror as you looked down at him deeply offended.

You know that your relationship with Branch was from an outside view a bit odd but there no need to be so rude about it.
