Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy the story.

I am rewriting a few scenes from each chapter after the release of Trolls Band Together, so spoilers ahead in this story if you haven't watched all three movies. Any chapters with the .02 in the end will be the updated chapters! Hope you enjoy it! I will try and update the chapters every week or so, so stay tuned!

I do not own trolls, but love the movies. There will be a lot of Broppy fluff coming in future chapters!

Branch awoke that morning to the sounds of birds. He slowly got out of bed, yawning. Sleepily, he walked to the kitchen and began to make himself a pot of coffee. As the coffee brewed he took a quick shower, humming a little tune to himself as he got ready. After finishing his shower, he went to get his coffee and some berries for breakfast. Grabbing a pencil and paper, he sat down to eat.

As Branch ate the berries, he thought of how the last six months changed. His bunker wasn't far from the village now as they expanded to make room for the trolls who decided to live in Pop Village. After the huge party celebrating the different trolls, they agreed that those who wanted to live amongst each other should have the chance. After talking it over, the leaders agreed Pop Village was the best option for the main community of trolls with the largest supply of available resources. Many new trolls have settled into the village, causing problems to arise. He had watched how the leaders handled these situations and always offered his help when he could. One month after the rock apocalypse, Branch had reunited with his brothers. That was something he never thought would happen. They had left so long ago that the thought of them returning had not crossed his mind in so many years. Now that they were a family again, he had never been happier.

Clay and Viva moved the Putt Putt Trolls to Pop Village to reunite with their families. Clay and Floyd have been staying with him, and John Dory often stays around the village but prefers to stay with Rhonda. As for Bruce, he stays with his family but they visit each other quite frequently. Branch had cleared some storage rooms and converted them into rooms for his four brothers and Poppy so they would have a place to stay. It was amazing to have his brothers back in his life again.

This is the first quiet morning Branch has had in a while. Viva and Clay went back to their old home to make sure nothing was left behind from their move. Floyd and John Dory had gone to visit Bruce and his family, and Branch stayed behind to recuperate. He smiled to himself as he started writing down a new poem. Poppy had been with him every step of the way. He had confessed to the love of his life six months ago, and he was over the moon when she said she loved him back. He blushed at the thought of her, before looking at the entrance. He could normally hear the troll's morning song by now. He shrugged as he kept writing and sipping his coffee. "My sunshine beaming through the storm..." He muttered to himself as he wrote. He got up after finishing his food, and started making pancake batter. With how busy Poppy and the leaders of the other trolls have been, he didn't have as much time to spend with Poppy as he would have liked. Between hanging with their newfound siblings and her duties to the village, they had both become quite busy. They agreed that every morning after the first song of the day and before the first hug time, she would meet him in his bunker for breakfast.

The trolls normally started to sing their morning song by now. Branch's ears twitched when he finally heard a sound that he guessed was a troll, but it didn't sound musical at all. It sounded more like a trolling screaming. Branch shot up when he heard more voices joining in, more screams from other trolls. He quickly ran out of the room before he could hear loud drumming. As he went to go to the exit before almost losing his balance when his bunker started to shake. "What is happening?!" He gripped onto the elevator handle as the shaking stopped for a few seconds, then it became more fierce. The shaking continued for a few more minutes, until the it started to become a rumble, before stopping all together. 'It was large footsteps.' He thought as he quickly pulled the lever to go up. 'Was the village attacked?!' His stomach turned at the thought of the village being attacked. Once he reached the top, he quickly went to open the door. When he tried to push, nothing happened. He tried opening it again, but to no avail. He growled slightly and ran to one of his secret exits, but was stopped when he ran into a dirt wall. "A cave in? Great." He grumbled in frustration, and checked another exit which he was able to reach. "Good thing I planned for this." He said as he opened to the third door, taking a look around. He didn't see anything but could still hear a couple of trolls yelling, although he couldn't quite make out what was happening.
