A Trollentine Story

Chapter 1: Different People, Same Question

Poppy's POV(Point of View):

I was just walking around, enjoying the harmony and friendship of TrollsTopia, when I just stopped. I realized something. Today.. is a holiday! I mean, everyday is a holiday, but this one is important. It's Trollentines Day.. But I don't have a Trollentine. That's what scares me. I have no idea who my Trollentine will be, and I might not even have a Trollentine at all today. DJ walked up to me with excitement. "Who's your Trollentine?" she asked, in a happier mood than usual. I smiled. "I.. don't have one yet.. What about you?" I said. Obviously, noticing how upbeat she was, I knew she had a Trollentine. I noticed that she was trying to hold back excitement, but she couldn't anymore. "I have a Trollentine!!" She said, bursting with happiness. "Really!? Who is it!?" I asked. "Ok, ok.." DJ said. "It's Guy Diamond!" She said. We both squealed and hugged. After the hug, she asked, "Are you planning to ask someone to be your Trollentine? Like, anyone specific?" She asked. I could tell that she was thinking of someone, but I had no idea who. "Umm.. No? Why?" I said. "Umm... If you wanna know who, ask Guy Diamond!" She said, and raced off. I was really confused by this. I headed towards Guy Diamond, and as expected, he was more upbeat as well. "Hey, hey! Poppy!" He said. "Hey, Guy! I have a question for you." I said, trying to get to the point. "Alright, what's up?" He asked. I paused, looking at my feet before saying, "DJ was saying things about Trollentines Day, and" I began to say before interrupted. "So she told you about us?" He asked. "Well, yes, and I'm very happy for you, but that's not what I was saying.. She asked me if I wanted to ask anyone specific to be my Trollentine. I told her no and asked her why, and she told me to ask you." I said. He stared at me. "If you want to know, ask Cooper.." he said, and walked off to join DJ. I began to ask myself, why Cooper? When I found him, I got straight to the point. I said, "DJ and Guy Diamond were saying things about anyone I'd specifically ask to be my Trollentine. I said no, and asked why. DJ said to go to Guy, and he said to go to you." I said. He looked at me. "If you want to know, ask my twin brother!" He said. He laughed, and walked off. I began to search for Darnell. I mean, why does nobody want to tell me?! I found him, and told him what I told Cooper. He looked at me, and sighed. "Go to the bunker. You don't have to tell him what you told me if you don't want to, even though it could be a good explanation. But just go there." He said. I went to Branch's bunker. "Branch! Hello?" I shouted. The bunker door opened, but the elevator was empty. I hopped in, and closed the door. I pulled the lever, and the elevator started going down. As I reached the bottom, I looked straight forward. I saw Branch sitting in a chair. He had a small, kinda nervous smile on his face. But it seemed as if he was expecting me. "Hey, Poppifer!" He said. "Hey, Branchifer!" I said. I was confused. He hadn't really called me that before except once, and he seemed really nervous. When he said that, he was hiding.. weapons!
