Trolls World Tour

Faded Colors

Meanwhile, Barb and D sat on the Funk stage, Barb was teaching D how to play guitar. "So you move your finger up...here?" D asked, moving one of his fingers up the neck of the guitar, "Yup!" Barb replied, "And that's your D chord!", "Hah! D chord! You have been mastered!" D joked. The two laughed, "You know what? I really enjoy your company Barb" D said, Barb blinked, "Really?", "Yeah, you are unlike any girl I've met" D said. Barb gave a small concerned look, "What's 'Any Girl You've Met' like?" She asked, D blinked and blew a bit of his hair out of his face.

"They're always so...in your face, so clingy, and I feel like they're really two faced about a lot of things, and pretty predictable. You on the other hand...you're always so calm, you're unpredictable, you're...you honestly remind me of my mom!" D said, Barb laughed, "Is...is that a compliment?" She joked, "It is the BEST compliment!" D laughed.

Just then, Poppy stormed out of the bushes, Branch following close behind, "POPPY! COME ON! LET ME TALK TO YOU!" he yelled. All the trolls had seen them walk off to talk, and all proceeded to follow, all except D and Barb, who decided to keep out of the drama. "They'll sort it out" Barb said, D nodded and went back to watching Barb play.

All the trolls were silent as Poppy and Branch argued. "You're a...a rock troll Branch?" Biggie piped up, not making any attempt to step forward, "Yes...well sorta, I'm a Pop/Rock troll, my parents...kinda broke the rule" Branch explained, earning a gasp from the leaders. Poppy just grunted and threw her hands up in the air.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU'RE A FILTHY ROCK TROLL!" Poppy screamed, Peppy went to put a hand on his daughter's shoulder but brought it back to his cane and sighed, "Poppy, look, I know this a lot to take in but-", "BUT NOTHING DAD! HE'S A TRAITOR! BET HE THINKS POP IS GARBAGE NOW, HUH?!" Poppy cut her dad off.

Branch groaned and marched up to Poppy, "LOOK, I ONLY JUST FOUND THIS OUT OKAY!? AND FOR THE RECORD I THINK POP IS PRETTY DARN AMAZING!! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I FAVOUR IT OVER OTHER STYLES!"

"PSSH WHATEVER, I BET THAT'S WHY YOU WANTED TO PERFORM WITH BARB!!"

"NO IT'S NOT!! I WANTED TO PERFORM BECAUSE SHE NEEDED SOME HELP AND I KNEW NO-ONE ELSE WOULD DO IT!!"

"NO, IT'S CAUSE YOU LOVE HER! CAUSE YOU WANT TO BE WITH TROLLS WHO ARE DARK AND DEPRESSING AND HORRIBLE LIKE YOU!!"

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THEY'RE LIKE THAT HUH!? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!? YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THEM UP UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO!!"

"YOU'RE ACTING LIKE YOU KNEW THEM BETTER THAN ME!! YOU DON'T!! YOU'VE BEEN GREY FOR 20 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE! YOU DON'T KNOW MUSIC!! YOU'RE NOT A TRUE TROLL YOU'RE JUST...BRANCH!!"

(A/N: If this is any indication I ain't good with arguements)

Poppy covered her mouth at her outburst, everyone looked at her in shock. Their old Poppy was truly gone. Branch looked at her with wide eyes, he grabbed at his heart and winced quietly in pain as his colors faded, revealing the same grey Branch from last year.

Poppy gasped a reached her hand out, "Wait no- Branch please! That's not what I- I'm sorry I didn't mean to...Branch?" She protested, but Branch said nothing, he turned away from Poppy and refused to look at the others.
