What Am I?

chapter 1: Happy Birthday!!

The trolls now lived back in the troll tree. In a light blue pod lived a blue troll named Branch. Today was a very special day for him. It was...his birthday!!!! Last night, he was excited and nervous. He usually spent his birthdays alone, crying about how his family isn't there to celebrate. But now he can celebrate with new friends.

He was asleep on his cozy little bed( he was happy it wasn't a hard rock this time). He slept peacefully, humming to his favorite song "God of Second Chances"(from Veggie Tales) only to be interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

"BRANCH! BRANCH! BRANCH OPEN UP!!!!" He already knew who it was...Poppy. "I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!" Wow, she was more excited than he was. Then again, when was she not? Branch groaned, not wanting to get up from his cozy bed, but if he didn't get up, she would probably just break down the door. He got up and walked to the door, expecting a hug from Poppy.

He opened the door. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!" It was not only Poppy, but the Snack Pack. A cupcake with a blue candle stood in front of him. He hoped it didn't come from Cooper. Then Guy Diamond came down from a branch and farted glitter. Thankfully none landed on Branch's face.

"Awww thanks guys," Branch said. Poppy gave the cupcake to DJ and took Branch's hands. "You ready for your best birthday ever?" Branch's smile faded a little. "I don't know. I've never really had a real birthday before." Poppy gave him a warm smile. "Oh come on. You'll have fun." Poppy pulled him out of his pod. Then, unexpectedly, he was blindfolded. "Poppy?"

The Snack Pack walked him down the tree and past Bergen town, into King Gristle's castle.

Branch didn't know what was going on. He only heard the sounds of laughter and people talking excitedly.
"I can't wait!" said one person.
"How's he gonna react?" said another.
"Let's do thiiiiiis," definitely Guy Diamond.

The suspense was killing him. What were they planning? He wished he could see through the blindfold. His heart raced, excited and nervous. There was no way of knowing what was in store for him. He feared that, even though it was his birthday, he would be the party pooper that would poop on the party. Can he party after years of greyness?

Branch suddenly stopped walking. He could feel his hands shaking. Why was he so nervous?

"You ready, Branch?" Poppy asked.

"Umm. I guess," he said. The blindfold was finally taken off of him. He was definitely nervous because he saw nothing but darkness. He can't even see Poppy. "Poppy? Guys? Hello?"

Lights turned on and blinded him for a second. Then, unexpectedly, confetti and glitter was thrown at Branch.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRANCH!!!!!!"
