It was a nice sunny day on the beach near Bergen Town and the Troll tree. The Snack Pack, plus Bridget and King Gristle, were currently having a fun picnic organized by Poppy, because why not? Branch was there, too. Now that he's more open to the Trolls, (especially Poppy) he's been trying to show up at parties and events to have fun, but really only if the pink troll was there. And you know, as the Queen of the Trolls, of course, she's going to attend the parties, and if she isn't attending, then she would've been the one throwing the party. The green troll is still…adapting to being so happy, but he's going well.

Anyway, the Snack Pack were having a nice time. They were talking, singing, eating, and, of course, there would be the occasional hug. Poppy was showing everyone how to do a certain…cup song that everyone seemed enthralled by. Branch was just watching in amusement, smiling softly as Poppy taught the cup routine and the song.

"You're gonna miss me by my hair, you're gonna miss me everywhere, oh…" she sang, as everyone repeated afterward. Branch mumbled the song, too, because, heck, it became catchy after a while. Poppy heard him singing and smiled.

"Branch, come on, try!" she said handing him a plastic cup. He chuckled.

"No, thanks, Poppy. I don't think I'm gonna be able to learn whatever that was." He replied, pushing the cup softly back. Poppy chucked the cup at his head playfully.

"You're no fun!" she said, teasingly. Branch rolled his eyes. Everyone, excluding Branch and Cooper, who gave up midway, continued trying to do the song.

"I did it!" Guy Diamond exclaimed in his auto-tune voice happily, once he successfully did the song. Everyone applauded him happily. Branch chuckled and then glanced to the side towards the forest. A glimpse of a bright green-blue thing beyond the tall trees that didn't seem to belong. He paused. Poppy noticed Branch was staring off to the side somewhere.

"Branch, what's wrong?" she asked concerned, trying to see what he was looking at. Branch snapped out of his trance and looked at her.

"Uh…nothing. I just have to check something real quick." He responded standing up and looking towards the trees. She grabbed his hand softly.

"Are you sure?" Poppy asked again. Branch turned back to her and gave a reassuring look. She let his hand go and nodded.

"Well…okay. But be careful." Poppy said, kindly. Branch nodded and then wandered off to where he thought he saw the strange occurrence. In the forest, he approached the strange object. However his vision was slightly obscured by a small bush in between him and the neon...thing.

As soon as he jumped over the bush and saw what it was he did a double take.

Oh.

OH. That wasn't what he was expecting.

Out of reflex, he stretched his hair to act as a cage around the "creature", making "it" yelp in shock.

He's got to show Poppy.

Well, that's the first chapter. I understand if it's not the best, but I tried. This is my first fanfic, so I made it about Trolls :D

I can't wait for the movie to come out where I am!

Do you know what Branch caught? Find out in the next chapter!

For now, I'm signing off.

Peace.

(Also, did you catch the reference in this chapter?)
