Trolls Branch x Reader

#20 True colors

Branch's POV ;

I follow (Y/N) through the crowded streets of grey trolls. She was the only one colored. They'd snicker about us to one another, but she didn't seem to care. The trolls of Perenia have been grey ever since the princess went missing. (Y/N) stopped and that caused me to stop. She seemed to be frozen in her place. I tapped her shoulder. "(Y/N), the ice cream shop is over there." She still stood. Not one of her muscles tensed. I tapped her again, no luck. I just looked in the direction that she was looking. She seemed to be looking at a child. A small helpless little girl on the side of the street, greyer than ever. She looked at (Y/N) with wide eyes and then slowly she began to smile at her. She got up and took (Y/N)'s hand. She pulled her to the ice cream store and I followed bewildered. She skipped along the crowd of grey trolls and they watched as she pulled (Y/N) inside the ice cream shop. I followed and watched. They looked around and there was no one in the store to serve them. (Y/N) dashed around the counter and smiled at the little troll. "What king of ice cream would you like today?" The little girl tapped her chin in thought. I couldn't help but smile as I watched the two. This kind of happiness is what this kingdom needed. "I'll have one scoop of chocolate please." She squealed lightly. (Y/N) scooped up the ice cream and gave it to her. "Thank you!" She said and licked her cone. (Y/N) grabbed a vanilla cone and shoved it in my face. She and the little girl laughed at me and ran out the door. "I'll get you guys!" I chased after them. The grey peasants watched us with their blank expressions. Then I looked back at the little girl. She was glowing. Her skin turned from grey to an iridescent light green and her hair turned purple as did her eyes. Her dress turned from brown and tattered to yellow and blue. She smiled at me. (Y/N) took both her hands and started to dance with her. They spun around in circles and I continued to watch them licking my ice cream and wiping my face. I felt a tug on my shorts. I looked from behind me. There's a little boy with faded blue overalls and grey hair along with his skin. He looked up at me with big eyes full of curiosity. "Will you dance with me?" He squeaked as if he hadn't spoken in weeks. I studdered and (Y/N) glared at me. I gulped and held out both both of my hands. "Yay!" The little boy exclaimed and grabbed both of my hands tightly. He pulled me deeper into the square. I spun him around watching his hair twist. "Wheeee!" He squealed, then he started to glow a light blue. And his hair was now an angel white. Then he opened his eyes, they were brown, a light brown. They seemed to burrow into my soul. Then I swear I could feel the air warm up and it no longer smelled like rain but flowers. I looked up from the little boy at the crowd one by one they began to smile at (Y/N) and I. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned only to meet (Y/N)'s beautiful (e/c) eyes. She smiled softly and began to sing. "Look at this kingdom tall and small, the boys and girls need it most of all." (I'm making this up 😂). "All they need is love and compassion from their mothers and fathers...they need to be taught to fly." I looked around and everyone started to sing and regain their colors. I joined them hoping I'd find mine too.

Poppy's POV;

I hear a voice...a voice that was loud, strong, and bold. "(Y/N)." I whisper to myself. The melody is coming from the heart of Perenia. She's there, and her song....she's happy. I was a fool to think she was kid napped. She escaped on her own. I break a sprint and crush the branches that stand in my way.
