A Fighting Chance: A Trolls Fanfiction

Chapter 21

Poppy stood arm in arm with her father at the end of the paired up trolls. Being sure to be at the very end of the stairs so no one could see her until it was time. She looked to the ground with a nervous look on her face, her body began to shake. Peppy noticed the feeling of shivering on his arm. Looking over to her, he sees her expression and nudges her to gather her attention. Poppy, sweety, what's wrong"? He asked her. She shivered for a moment, but quickly composed herself. "S-so many people dad....There's so many people. What if I mess up somehow"? She asked frantically. Peppy quickly hushed his daughter, trying to get her to calm herself. "Honey, honey, honey. Calm down, you will do beautifully. You have been practicing and you know ever line and every word. Don't focus on the people around you, focus on the man in front of you, the one who you will call your husband by the end of the day. ONLY focus on him. You'll be just fine darling". He said as he held his daughters' hand firmly, reassuring her. She felt better afterwards. He was right, she should only focus on her husband to be. So she took a deep breath, and swallowed hard. Smiling wide, knowing that by the end of the day, she will be branch's wife.

Meanwhile, the great hall was filled with eager trolls from the village clamoring over one another as the echo's created a roaring sound throughout the hall. Branch stood at the alter, hands clasped tightly together behind his back. Anxiously twiddling his thumbs together, waiting for the music to start. That was the cue for when the ceremony was going to begin. The priest troll stood next to branch, wearing a long black robe, small spectacles at the end of his nose and priest collar. Leaning over to branch, he whispered. "Don't be nervous son, I hear that your bride to be is particularly lovely today. Don't think about anyone else but her. Pay attention to only her when she walks up to the alter. You'll do fine". He whispered with a smile. Branch was anxious for that very reason. He wanted to see poppy. He wanted to see her in her wedding dress, walking towards him. He couldn't wait to name her his wife. No sooner than he had that thought, the music began and the palace doors opened. Branch perked himself up, smiling widely. All of the trolls in the palace great hall went silent, and looked to the doors from their seats. The music was much more preferable than the old fashion organ style. It was a prerecorded version made by DJ and guy diamond. A soft, but smooth acoustic guitar style. It was pleasing to to listen to. 

He saw biggie coming down the isle, carrying smidge in his arm with Mr. Dinkles on his shoulder, wearing a little tux of his own, matching his little top hat. Biggie looked around to the trolls, waving with his free arm to the crowd. Smidge Looked very nice with her get up. everyone 'ooed' at them as they came down the isle. Branch thought they both looked nice, smiling to them. Biggie softly set smidge down, after looking up to him momentarily with a smile, she hurried over to her spot in line opposite of branch. Biggie walked over to his friend, standing behind him with a smile. Soon after, DJ and guy diamond appeared through the doors. DJ looking lovely in her bridesmaid dress and guy diamond looking just as nice in his outfit as well. DJ blushed slightly as he held her arm close to him as they walked closer to the alter. Everyone chuckled as she blushed harder when he gave her a playful wink when they parted to their spots. Branch laughed under his breath, nudging guy diamond as he passed him to take his spot. Soon, Cooper could be seen coming down the isle, with satin and chenille on either side of him, holding onto his back with their hands gripped softly in his fur. Cooper held a smug smile as he slowly trotted down the isle with  the twins. The hall filled with trolls soon hummed with hushed laughter, along with the groomsmen and branch laughing as well. The twins even let out little chuckles of their own. They couldn't help but to laugh either. Reaching the alter, the twins and cooper made their way to their places. Soon after, the music picked up into a more upbeat, but eloquent tone. The trolls filling the great hall stood, seeing the silhouette of the last two trolls hover from the light of the sunset in the distance.
