Trolls: More Than Just Pets

Chapter 5 - The Wedding's Off

Weeks went on and the same thing happened every Saturday. Poppy and Bridget would be waiting for Gristle and Branch for almost an hour at times. And Bridget was getting even more annoyed with Gristle. It was even putting a strain on Poppy and Branch's relationship. But they hung in there. But one thing that was really getting bad was the relationship between Bridget and Poppy. Their relationship had taken a turn for the worse. Bridget would hardly talk to the little creature which made Poppy feel lonely unless she was with Branch. And then, it got even worse. Poppy was asleep in her pod one morning until she was woken up by shouting. It was Bridget. "FINE! YOU WANT TO BE LIKE THAT? THEN THE WEDDING'S OFF!" Bridget yelled before slamming her phone on the table. Poppy watched from her pod and Bridget took notice, but didn't say anything. Those words disturbed Poppy. The wedding was off. She wasn't going to see Bridget, the only person who cared for her, get married. Poppy knew she had to get Branch and fix this. She wasn't going to see this wedding fall apart. She couldn't let that happen. She wouldn't let that happen. This was going to require a lot of planning, ingenuity and cunning. She needed to get to Branch. She waited for Bridget to go to bed and snuck out quietly. She walked discreetly to Gristle's apartment which was on the other side of town. Being that trolls were so small, she was able to sneak under the door and went over to Branch's pod.
