Bold: Movie

Possible TW: Panic attack


Trolls/Chef: [Yeah!... Trolls]

"Called it," Branch muttered.

"I should have listened," Poppy said.

"I didn't mean it that way. You didn't know what would happen," Branch said.

"I know you didn't, but I still feel responsible."

Poppy/Biggie: [Okay, everyone... know her]

"Was that really the right time?" Barb asked.

"He was excited," Poppy said, coming to her friend's defense.

"I'm just saying," Barb said.

Poppy: [I'd like... cupcake?]

"I would not want to eat those cupcakes darlin'," Delta Dawn said.

"Neither would I," Branch said with small chuckle.

"I panicked!" Poppy exclaimed

"Clearly," Trollex said.

"OK, OK. Let's move on," Poppy said with a smile.

Poppy: [Run!... Blend in!]

Viva folded in on herself again. Hoping to get through this quickly for her sister's sake, Poppy stayed silent and laid a hand on Viva's shoulder.

Trolls/Creek: [Poppy!... your auras!]

"Yes, because that'll work," Barb said, rolling her eyes.

Poppy/King Peppy : ["Creek!... bad bergen! *Chef goes to grab Peppy*]

Viva gasped. "No! Dad!"

"I'm alright, Viva," Peppy told her.

"But you were almost taken by the chef!" Viva said in a panic.

"I know, but Poppy made sure I wasn't."

"I could have lost you!" she said, starting to hyperventilate.

"Viva, are you okay?" Biggie asked.

She shook her head.

"Let's take a quick five," Poppy said. "Viv, come with me."

Viva got up and followed Poppy. Once they were out of earshot of the rest of the group, Poppy spoke in a calm voice.

"Try to match my breathing, alright?"

Viva nodded. Poppy started to breathe deep and slow, and Viva followed her lead. After a few minutes, she was able to breathe normally again.

"How... how did you know what to do?"

"Panic attack. I've had to help Branch through a few, so I've learned to spot the signs," Poppy explained. "Don't tell him I told you though."

"I won't," Viva said, before wrapping her sister in an embrace. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Seeing Dad almost getting captured by the Chef.... it brought back all these painful memories."

"I understand that. Are you going to be okay continuing? Not to spoil anything, but we're going to be spending a lot of time in Bergen Town."

"I... I think so."

"Well, we can pause whenever you need to. And here," Poppy paused, grabbing something from her hair. "You can use this weighted blanket."
