Chapter 2

Poppy was getting ready for a day with Barb.

She still couldn't get over the fact that Barb liked her outfit. She was head over heels when she received that compliment. She felt all weird and warm inside. She remembered to put on her best outfit. It was a small causal dress that was light shade of pink and had white laces.

Poppy looked over at her makeup collection. Should she go all out or play it safe. Anxiously, she picked up the pink lipgloss and analyzed it. Would Barb like it? Why was she trying so hard? She was usually so optimist it felt weird to be all negative.

Barb wouldn't mind... right?

She applied the lipstick and within a few minutes she had hopped on the talking hot air balloon and flew through the sky.

"Where are you headed, Poppy?" The balloon asked. "Oh! I'm going to see barb, I'm so excited!" She said with joy. Her eyes lit up once she entered Volcano Rock City. Of course everything was dark, edgy, and disturbing- completely the opposite of her style. She smiled happily at the rock trolls who looked at her in confusion. All her problems went away because she knew she was going to see the Queen Barb she had admired from a distance.

She jumped and became all giggly once the air balloon had landed on a safe spot- away from the the hard rocks, spikes, and lava. Poppy quickly jumped off and knew where she was headed.

Barb had given her a brief tour before and she is known to have good memory.

Poppy had quickly rushed over to the weird looking castle that looked like a dungeon and knocked on it.

She was so nervous yet so glad that this day had finally come true. After a moment of silence she grew impatient and knocked a few more times. Again. Nothing. Without any hesitation she had stormed inside and found herself in an empty hallway. Barb had to be here.. somewhere.

She felt a little angry, Barb even told her she would be at the castle. Then she froze once she heard what seemed to be Barbs laughter.
Quietly, she headed toward the sound, it grew louder with each step under she could finally hear words.

"Dude stop, you're making me blush. "

"Y'know I love teasing you, man." Said an unfamiliar voice.

Poppy grew curious and stepped a little closer.

"Shut up before I kiss you."

"I'm not complaining."

Poppy then looked over and saw Barb and Carol flirting ridiculously.

She felt her whole heart break when she saw Barb's face leaning towards Carol. No.. No this can't be happening

She didn't know how to react. She put her hand over her mouth to avoid making a sound. She quickly turned until she bumped into one of the drummers, yelping as she felt herself fall down onto the ground.

"Uh, Queen Barb, why is there a pop troll here?" The drummer shouted as he looked at Poppy in confusion. Poppy panicked once she heard Barb say, "HUH?" She heard her footsteps grow closer and without any warning she had chosen to run away from the problem.

The castle was pretty big- but somehow he managed to enter Barbs lounge and she didn't expect it to be empty.

After hearing Barbs voice call out for her name she knew she needed a place to hide. She looked under couch, the tv, the rug just to see if there was any space for her to hide. Her heart began to race once she heard footsteps from the hallway, which meant she was coming closer. Poppy had then found the perfect hiding spot just in time. Her hair.

She had ran into a corner and frantically cover herself once she saw the doors open."Poppy?" She heard Barb say. She was looking around to see any sight of the pink troll. Her eyes met with the pink item that was hidden in the corner. It had to be her.

Poppy felt her heart skip a beat when Barb brushed her hair away and made eye contact with her. She had a worried look on her face. "Hey.. Why didn't you tell me you were here, pink?"

Poppy's eyes were teary and she looked away from Barb, "I got lost.. Sorry hehe," she laughed nervously. Barb chuckled and smirked a bit, grabbing Poppy's arm and pulling her up to her feet. "About that date, I wanna show you something." Barb said with a big grin. "S-Sure," Poppy was once again lost in her beauty. She was like a drug poppy wasn't ready to give up just yet.
