Branch and Poppy One Shot

Birthday Proposal

For my best friend True_Colors....

One morning a young girl named Alice woke up to see her older adopted sister Queen Poppy standing over her with a smile.

''GOOD MORNING ALICE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BIRTHDAY GIRL! COME ON GET UP!'' Poppy energetically jumped around and went to Alice closet.

Alice rubbed the sleep from her eyes. ''Thanks Poppy.'' She got up and got dressed in a blue dress with pink flowers on it, Alice remembered it was the dress she wore on her and Eric's first date and went downstairs to see their dad was putting the remaining food on thre table.

''Happy birthday Alice! My dear.'' He hugs her and pulls out the chair for her.

''Thanks dad, woah did you make all of this?'' Alice asked.

''Yes but I had a bit of help from Poppy.'' He smiled as they all sat down and started eating.

''So what do you have planned for me today Poppy?'' She asked knowing her sister had something planned.

''Nothing, why would you think that? I mean being a queen I'm busy and didn't have much time to plan a party so you'll have to wing it on your own.'' Poppy said picking up the dishes.

Alice was about to say something but there was a knock on the door. ''I'll get it.'' Alice said.

She opened the door to see Branch standing there. ''Oh hi Branch.''

''Happy birthday Alice, I just came to drop off some ideas that I thought might help Poppy.'' He said coming in.

Alice sighed and was about to shut the door when a hand appeared. ''Wait!''

Alice's eyes widen and she squeals and hugs Eric, he hugs back. ''Happy birthday beautiful.'' He pulled out a flower from his back and bowed playfully.

''Ahh thank you Eric.'' She blushes and hugs him.

''Of course.'' He then plants a sweet kiss on her lips and the girl kisses back, they pulled away when they heard an aww.

They saw Peppy and Broppy watching them. ''How cute.'' Poppy squealed.

''So Alice if your not busy I thought we could spend the day together like visiting the old places we played and hung out at.'' He said smiling at her.

''Yes I'd love that.. not that I had plans to begin with.'' He took her hand and they left.

Once out of sight the three breathed. ''So those are the plans for Alice birthday surprise?'' Asked Poppy to her handsome boyfriend.

''Yeah just like you requested and I got a lot of trolls already working on setting it up.'' He said.

''Your the best.'' The pink queen said kissing his cheek.

Meanwhile Alice and Eric were walking away from Pop Village holding hands. ''So where are you taking me?'' She asked squeezing her boyfriends arm.

''Actually remember the our first date?'' He asked looking at her.

''Yeah weren't we at a carnival?'' Alice blushes moving a piece of hair behind her ear.

''Yep well would you look at that the carnival it came back and I thought we could go on rides check out the sights.'' He said.

''Lets go.'' She said excitedly as they took off.

They walked around and looked at the flowers. ''Woah they are so pretty! Look at that underwater plants.'' Eric said.

As they looked an older troll came over. ''Hey there you two enjoying the view?''

''Yeah we are.'' Eric said.

Alice went over to the Tiger lily's and the older troll looked at Eric. ''Here give this to your girlfriend she a pretty girl.'' The troll said.

''Thanks and yes she is.'' He went over to Alice.

After looking at the flowers they went to play carnival games. Alice hit every balloon with the dart winning a big stuff elephant.

''Lucky shot.'' He teased as he went and popped all but two and got a cute sweet little puffelo stuff animal.

''Happy Birthday Alice.'' He gave her the stuffed puffelo.

''Aww thank you.'' They shared a sweet kiss.

They played a few more games then they went on a couple rollarcoaster rides, then they went on the friendship drop ride both sitting and securing the bar as they they go up.

''This is so much fun.'' Alice smiled at her boyfriend.

''It is my love.''

They screamed as it dropped them and they both laughed and fell to the ground laughing. They went on rides all day and the sun was starting to set and Eric brought Alice to a hill over looking the carnival and they were eating ice cream cones both laughing.

''Wow today was the best birthday gift ever.'' Alice said as she snuggles against Eric's chest.

''Yeah I'm glad you think so.'' He said.

''I know Poppy has a surprised party planned... she always does but this was a nice distraction.'' Alice smiled.

''Well to be honest I was gonna do this with you today anyway, but our night is not over yet.'' He said looking at her.

She lifted her head and looked at him. ''Oh and what else do you have planned?''

Eric is quiet and helps his girlfriend up holding both her hands.

''Alice I love you.. I had feelings for you since the first day we met and well being with you I've never been happier and you complete me, your always there when I need you and your a beautiful, talented go getting, great singer girl and you stole my heart from the start... And I want that to continue but tonight is about and well I was wondering...''

He got on one knee and pulled out a ring. ''Will you marry me?''

Alice was shocked and covered her mouth looking at it. ''Y-Yes, YES! Oh I will marry you.'' She started tearing up.

Eric stood up and places the ring on her finger and then hugs her picking her up and spinning with her as they laughed. Alice pulls him in for a kiss and he kisses back then they pull away.

''And I got your sisters and your dad's permission.'' He said.

''I love you Eric.'' She smiled happily.

''And I love you.'' He said.

They held hands as they walked back to Pop Village.

''At least act surprised.'' Eric said.

''Alright.'' She giggles as they go back to celebrate her birthday and their engagement.
