The Bergens are Coming Pt. 1

A/N: Actually not PoppyxBranch! But they are in this. Inspiredby any tumblr post I read that mentioned the yellow troll and the clown troll.A sort-of fix-it/what-if ficlet. Sageis named because her green hair reminds me of sage, and Charlie is named afterCharlie Chaplin.

"You done yet?"

Sage leaned back on her dirt-smudged feet, her bright green hair waving as it caught the breeze. Surrounded by bright berry bushes and gleaming flowers, the young troll was in her element. Most of the time, she had a few flowers or petals nestling in her hair, leftover from her work out in her gardens and berry patches.

Rubbing her hands on the bottom of her dress, she looked up at her best friend Herb, an emerald green troll with red hair. He was also a gardener, and they often helped each other out, especially during harvest time.

"You didn't forget about the party, did you?" he asked.

"Nooo," Sage said slowly, softly, as she stood up.

"You did too," he said, putting his hands on his hips, "Sage! I've been planning this for forever."

"I know, and I'm grateful!" She bit her lower lip and glanced at him. "It's just...you're sure it's just going to be a few trolls?" While she enjoyed parties, just like practically every other troll, she didn't like big parties or being the center of attention. Small gatherings were more her style.

"Only ten or twelve. Or fifteen," Herb said. He picked up her basket of freshly-picked flowers and berries and slid it onto it his arm so it was nestled in the crook of his elbow. Gallantly, he offered her his free arm. "Just me, you, some of the other gardening trolls, the Snack Pack—"

"What?" Sage asked, her eyes widening.

Herb gave her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Poppy overhead me planning with Caprica, and I didn't think you'd mind."

"Oh, I don't. Not really." She liked Princess Poppy and her friends, it was just, well, they were super into big, giant, loud parties. Which Sage could handle in small doses. But it would be nice to have Poppy and the Snack Pack there, she guessed. At least no one would be able to say the party was dull if they were there. A few other trolls would probably show up, as was troll custom. If you were in hearing distance of a party, it was an automatic invitation to said party. So a small party might escalate into a big one quickly, especially if DJ Suki was going to come. Ah, hmm, if it got too much for her to handle, she would just slip out for a little while. No big deal.

She and Herb walked most the home together until the path split. Taking her basket from him and promising to get ready quickly, she dashed to her home tree and then scurried up into her light blue pod. It was decorated with pastel petals that she had found around the forest and pressed between the pages of some books. There were also a few knit and crocheted things lying around, another one of her hobbies. Sage dunked herself in her rain barrel bathtub, changed into her new party dress, and then darted out the doorway of her pod.

It wasn't far to Herb's pod, only a few branches and swinging bridges away. As she walked up the tree path to his pod, she heard the sounds of the party music lower and trolls hush each other. It was a bit late for a surprise, since she knew all about the party, but trolls sometimes couldn't help themselves. She knocked on the side of the pod and then let herself in.

A wave of sound nearly bowled her over. "Surprise!" shouted about twenty trolls, nearly twice the amount Herb had first told her he'd invited. His neighbors must have heard the music.
