Bridget made it back to her room and fell on the bed as the Trolls retracted their hair and laid down on the bed too.
"I think the king really likes us!" Cooper exclaimed.
"I know, right?" Biggie responded.
"That was the greatest day of my life! Thanks, Poppy. Thanks, DJ Suki, Max. Thanks to all of you! Even you, I guess." Bridget thanked, saving Branch for last.
He frowned a little until he heard Suki giggle a little. He rolled his eyes with a smirk and elbowed her lightly.
"I just never thought something like that could happen to me. And it just did! I'm so excited I could just scream." Bridget exclaimed as she let out a whispered scream.
"Oh, I could scream too! Creek is alive!" Poppy cheered.
"Yay!" The others joined in.
Then they stopped when they heard a shout that didn't sound happy. They turned to see Branch doing that and he stopped, confused.
"Branch, what's wrong?" Poppy wondered.
"Nothing. I thought we were celebrating." Branch answered with a smile.
"That's your happy shout?" Cooper asked.
DJ nudged Cooper with an elbow.
"It's been a while." Branch pointed out bluntly.
Max and Suki looked at each other and laughed at this.
"Well, you're gonna have plenty of exercise, because we're gonna save Creek and life will be all cupcakes and rainbows again." Poppy explained.
"Up top!" The boys offered the girls, but they moved their hands out of the way, and said with a smirk, "Too slow."
The others just laughed while Poppy and Branch smiled at each other, as did Max and DJ Suki.
"Okay, everybody...let's go save Creek." Poppy urged.
They all ran to the door until Bridget blocked it.
"No! No! You can't leave. Lady Glittersparkles is gonna be the king's plus one at dinner." She said.
"The dinner where they're serving trolls? Yeah, I think we're gonna have to skip that one." Branch answered.
"No! No, you have to help me be Lady Glittersparkles. I need you." Bridget begged.
"You don't wanna pretend to be someone you're not forever!" Poppy said.
"Then how about just for tomorrow?" Bridget suggested.
"Bridget, you don't need us anymore. You and the king can make each other happy!" Suki said.
"That's impossible! Only eating a Troll can make you happy. Everyone knows that! I wish I'd never gone on this stupid date!" Bridget cried and ripped her college.
She sobbed into the pieces of magazines. Max looked at Poppy, mouthing 'Nice going, Princess', then she and DJ Suki walked up to Bridget.
"Bridget..." Poppy tried to reason.
"Just go! Get out of my room. Leave me alone." Bridget wailed.
"Would you just please listen to us?" DJ pleaded.
"Bridget!" Chef screeched from the hole.
"We've gotta go." Branch told the girls.
"Come on." Max added.
"Bridget..." Poppy and Suki whispered.
"What's going on down there? Bridget, scrub that dish! The king's bringing a plus one." Chef ordered, dropping a plate on her head.
"Yes, Chef." Bridget answered and continued crying.
DJ Suki and Poppy felt so bad for Bridget, but they had to go save Creek.
"Come on, Poppy." DJ said as they start leaving the room.
Suki went to catch up with Max, who noticed her.
"Hey, I know you're upset that you have to leave Bridget, but Poppy and I made a promise to everyone to save you and the others." Max said.
"I know." Suki replied, "I guess Poppy seems pretty serious about saving Creek. It's like she has a crush on her."
"Tell me about it. And from what I understand, Branch gets really jealous when Poppy's around Creek. And I can tell, cause he really loves her." Max explained.
"It's a good thing you're not like Creek. I mean, you and him almost look like you can be twins, which will never happen." DJ said, cringing at the thought of Max being twins with Creek.
"Yeah, I'll say." Max agreed.
They smiled at each other, with slight blushes on their faces. They met up with the others and hid behind a flower vase. They saw King Gristle heading over to his room.
"He went inside his room. I think I know the quickest way to get there without being caught." Max explained.
"Lead the way." Branch replied.
Max lead the others to Gristle's bedroom.
A/N: Poor Bridget... But Poppy and Max must complete their mission. Now they're off to save Creek, and things are about to get interesting. And don't worry, they're be more Broppy before you know it.
