Christmas and Spring passed with flying colors and they had been on so many adventures while the sleeping beauty was laying on his back in that big empty room waiting to be woken up, yes the finally noticed Astra's color slowly coming back but he still was asleep so they didn't have a whole alot of hope for their friend.
The medical staff advice the Queen to let him go, they kept saying that he wouldn't wake up.. They thought he had become braindead but Poppy and Branch refused the staff just had to accept that they wouldn't let him go no matter what.
Unknown to them Astra wasn't braindead which was a plus at least but why wasn't he waking up even after their pleads and begging, well you see yes, he's still in a coma but somewhere deep inside he was conscious and refused to wake up, basically trapped in his head, he was afraid to wake up and no matter how many times he forgave them he was scared to be hurt again.
He felt like he was stuck in a box without a way out of it and if he got out.. He would be hurt, what if they are just pretending to care like before? Use him and throw him away like trash? It broke his heart to think of, not only that he wasn't sure how long he would be asleep for much longer, his body had basically healed all the way at this point.
All he needed was to wake up.. wake.. up-
The redheaded trolls eyes fluttered open carefully, seeing a light colored ceiling but something was off.. his right eye.. it was all blurry, he could make out some stuff from it but it was all just a blur.. shit, the right eye still needs more healing to do before his eyesight was fully restored, lifting his weak and thin hand to look at it, how did he managed to survive for so long? He was basically skin and bones.
His healthy eye glanced around the room, seeing a mountain for gifts, he sweat dropped seeing it, the beeping sound of the heart monitor caught his attention, seeing it, his heart rate was perfectly fine, he sighed out in relief.
He carefully sat up, looking at the iv's in his veins he mentally groaned, he had to wait for someone to remove them from his arms, he didn't want to bleed out after removing them. His eyes was brought to the window where the sun came in for some reason he couldn't exactly remember what happened to him, just bits and pieces, he remembered.. Wait.. No he didn't remember anything!?
All he DID remember was that he would forgive the pop trolls but for what reason? Had he hated them before? But Why?? Why couldn't he remember why he would forgive them, there was no reason to, right..? RIGHT!?
That made his heart monitor go off as they had put it the extra sensitive setting incase his heart rate would even change in the slightest, the queen's orders after all.
Nurses ran in, shocked to see the surprised to see the troll alive and AWAKE?, they press the purple button on the wall, having more people run in, all shocked to see this troll ALIVE

(I'm basing the purple thing on this LOL)
Astra: Oh.. Uh Hello there-
The raised his hand to greeted the medical staff. After hours of examinations they couldn't figure how he woke up let alone be awake and talking already, though he got some eyedrops for his eye and it stung like a bee, it wasn't very pleasant and he mentally cringed every time.
Astra: Why am I here?
Rando troll: You don't remember??
Astra: Remember what?
Rando troll 2: you were dragged here by the queen and her boyfriend-
Astra: Oh? I don't recall that.
Astra shrugged his shoulders as he munched on the food happily he was given to restore his energy and oh boy it sure did!
The staff didn't let the Queen know yet until they were 100% he would be fine so they couldn't be blamed for anything regarding Astra. He seemed like nothing bad ever happened to him, like it never happened in the beginning, though the doctrolls couldn't keep it a secret for much longer anyways sooner or later they would visit like they did once a week with Poppy, Branch and Floyd.
*A day later*
The staff forced Astra to shower and the dirt that came of off him was nasty, maybe the shower WAS good for the guy as he finished up not too long after and was given a meal which he happily munched on again (lol lil chubbster)
The staff had called Poppy to let them know Astra was awake but requested not alone of people came at once since he had just woken up after months.
Poppy: Come on Branch! We need to go like right NOW!
Branch: Oh why-
Poppy: Just come!
The pink Queen dragged her boyfriend all the way to the hospitroll as the doors slammed open with a energetic Queen and a out of breath boyfriend as soon as Branch saw Astra he ran to his side to him hug but he didn't expect what Astra had to say-
Astra: Wow Branch, is that you? Look at you all grown up, finally became a man huh? I'm so proud of you and i missed you so much!
Branch: W-what? What do you mean Astra, shouldn't you be mad at me?
Astra: Uh, no? Why would I and for what reason?
Branch turned to talk to the doc, as he explained the lack of oxygen and blood flow to his head was most likely the cause of his memory loss and the said it was better to let him remember on his own and not force it on him, the pair nodded as they went back to Astra.
Astra: You most be the Queen i assume and by the looks of it, Branch's girlfriend!'
The pair became red in the face as Poppy just laughed and re-introduced herself, making Astra interested in how the rest of the village was since he couldn't remember little to nothing anyways-
