(Ugh.. yes the background for this chapter is kinda wrong. Oh well 🤷‍♂️)

One week after the Bergen mayhem..

Everything was doing pretty good. Well, for the most part. When trolls thought they were gonna get attacked by the Bergens the day after everything bad happened, it surprisingly didn't happen! They still kept their protection and distance.

Meanwhile, Branch was definitely occupied during the time. I mean, it's pretty obvious what he's doing exactly right now..

...
5:46PM.
"I mean, should I go for a huge gesture, little one, or a medium one? How can I even pull anything off when she's bound to be super busy?" Branch was trying to do something for Poppy, as the leaders helped him out.

"I saw huge." Trollex told them.

"Nah, medium gesture." Barb said.

"How about you sing her a song?" Delta Dawn asked.

"Oh, I've been thinking about that. I just don't know what to sing." Branch said.

"Oh.. then.. maybe.." Everyone was thinking.

Suddenly, they saw Poppy approaching.

"Uh oh, hide me!" Branch whispered loudly.

They huddled their backs in front of Branch, making him not visible.

"Hey guys, are you gonna go to Karaoke Night? I sent you a message on the TrolleyPhone." Poppy told them.

"Uh, yeah! We'll totally come..!" Barb said.

"Yep, uh we'll be there by 7..!" Trollex smiles sheepishly.

"Okay.. uh see ya? Why are you guys acting like this..?" She got suspicious of them.

"Oh, what do you mean?" King Quincy tried to play it off.

"Uh. Never mind." She walked away from them.

"Phew.." They stopped hiding Branch, as he was frozen.

"You okay?" Queen Essence asked.

"Y-Yeah.. Just a little stunned." He scratched his head.

"Karaoke Night is tonight, y'know! You can sing to Poppy~" King Quincy said.

"You think so? What song can I even sing?" Branch asked.

"Uh, I don't think it's a good idea to ask us.." King Trollex told him.

"Yeah, we all have different tastes." Delta Dawn added on.

"I'll think about it.. I just gotta get a song ready until 6:40." Branch said.

"Okay. We gotta get back to our duties. Come get us if you need us." They waved bye, as they walked away.

...

6:31PM.

Branch has no song prepared yet.
He just didn't know what to sing.

"Ugh.. I only have 29 minutes left.." He had to think of something before it was too late, so he did his research.

Countless songs were available to him, but he was scared if it wasn't gonna work.

"I'll make up a song..!" Branch grabbed his guitar as fast as he could, and sat down.

"Let's see here.." He tried to form a tune, but he didn't really like it.

"Ugh.. I'll just practice any kind of song.."
