Huh? My phone line didn't get cut… and I still have internet? AWE MAN! That means I could've taken my time with the final chapter on A Bad Start to a New Beginning! Oh well, what has been done, has been done. At least I'll be able to post the first chapter on Valentine's day! Enjoy!
In a small colorful kingdom, giant gray creatures were painting the town a bright pink, pink like a tatsey stick of bubblegum. Others were painting their houses red, like a lovely rose in the spring. The reason for this, they were preparing for the most " romantic " and " beautiful " day of the year. Valentine's day! The trolls told their giant friends all about this day. How they give gifts to loved ones, how they celebrate with a party, and a new addition to the celebration, a play! A play that'll be taking place in a few days, written by no other than our favourite little fuzz ball Fuzzbert! Out on the streets, children bergens and trolls were drawing on the floor with different colored chalk. They drew tiny hearts along with roses and a willow above it all. The colors they mainly used for the hearts were, pink, blue, yellow, orange, purple, green and silver. The children laughed and played before something blue caught their attention.
"Branch! Hello!" the kids waved at the blue troll.
"Hey kids!" Branch waved back," Don't mind me, just checking on how the towns decorations are coming out."
Branch was strolling around bergen town, taking a look at how the once gray and depressed town is doing. Poppy made a plan on how this years Valentines day and the bergens first Valentine's day would be the best one ever. More sparkles! More colors and of course, Lots more love than usual. She always strived to make each Valentines better than the last. That's one of the things Branch loves about her. She's always determined and full of life. Wanting what's best for her kingdom.
"How did I ever get so lucky?" Branch smiled as he thought about how someone dark and grumpy like him would ever win a princess's heart. He heard a street band of bergens start to play a familiar tune. A song perfect for the moment. He stopped to listen for a moment before carrying on his business.
( song! Bold for action)
Branch
"So she asked what's the problem Branch?
What's the problem, I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love!"
Branch hopped onto a cart that was moving and filled with flowers.
Branch
"Think about her every time
I think about her
Can't stop thinking 'bout her!"
As the wagon moved, he spotted a nervous male bergen approaching a girl.
"How much longer will it take to say it
Just to say it cause I can't conseal it if it's love"
Branch threw a rose with his hair, landing on the boys hand and grabbing the girl's attention.
"Makes me wanna shout it out and tell her but I don't know how to play love! No,
Come on, come on,
Try to say it faster,
Come on, come on,
Who knows what'll come after,
Come on, come on,
Say that I'm after love,"
The cart took a turn and passed a ice cream shop. Branch noticed a man refusing to serve ice cream to a couple for being short on cash.
"So I said that the sun turns jealous,
Jealous how she shines like spring that's blooming all it's love,
Shining under blue nights
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love "
Branch jumped off and swung his way into the counter, throwing in enough coins for the couple's ice cream.
"Well honey I admit it,
To the words I sing are yours
Never ever let them go,
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no preparing for your love,"
Back at the troll tree, Branch was swinging from branch to branch before stopping to help a elder lady with hanging up heart shape lights.
"These notes of music
Say you're never alone,
Never alone, no, no!"
Branch jumped off and grabbed onto a vine, sliding down as he watched all the happy trolls decorate their homes.
"Come on, Come on
Say it to me louder
Come on, Come on
At least to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
She'll say it to me, she's in love"
He swung off, landing into a pile of leaves and flowers, some troll kids made. He sprung back up, throwing greenery into the air. The children laughed at the sight of him playing in leaves.
"Come on, come on
Smile a little brighter
Come on, come on
Hug me a little tighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love"
The kids joined in.
Branch
We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Kids
Accidentally in love! Accidentally in love!
Branch
Accidentally in love! Accidentally in love,
Both
Accidentally in love, Accidentally in love!
Branch
Accidentally
Branch jumped off the branch and onto a slide made out of a vine.
Branch
"I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally!
I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally!"
Branch hopped off and landed on the ground, in front of a Valentine's day stand, that Satin and Chenille were taking care of. He jumped over the counter and started helping the girls put items on display as the twins sang along as well.
Branch and the twins
"Come on, come on
Sing a little louder
Come on, come on
And the world will be brighter
Come on, come on
Just let yourself fall for
Love…."
Branch jumped back out with some roses the twins handed him
Branch
" ...I'm in love!"
( song ends )
As Branch finished the song, the twins clapped.
"I see you're in the Valentines mood today," Satin giggled. Branch chuckled as his cheeks started to turn a darker shade of blue.
"What can I say?" Branch shrugged," I am in love."
"Oh by the way, those roses will be 12 coins please," Chenille claimed.
"You're going to charge the Queens boyfriend?!" Branch acted surprised. The twins chuckled.
"No special treatment today Branch," Satin said.
"We sold so much last year…."
"... That half the village didn't get any gifts," Satin finished Chenilles sentence.
"Wow, really?" Branch was surprised for reals this time. He knew trolls loved Valentine's day but not that much. The girls nodded yes together," Ok then."
Branch placed his coins on the counter, letting the girls take them.
"Good luck, I need to meet up with Poppy so we can plan the events with King Gristle," Branch waved goodbye to the conjoined sisters. As soon as Branch left, they went back to work. Satin looked out and spied a troll couple, walking and laughing together at whatever they were talking about. Satin dreamily sighed.
"Don't you just love love?" Satin smelled the bouquet of tulips and placed them on the counter.
"Yea… love," Chenille rolled her eyes as she placed some chocolates on the top shelves," Nothing better than…. Spending time with loved ones."
"You don't think Rudy will buy these for me do you?!" Satin hugged some straw yellow forget-me-nots before placing them on display.
"Maybe?" Chenille smiled ever so sweetly at her sister. She turned away, letting her smile drop into a sour frown, she started to mumble angrily at herself," it's not like he's been showering you with presents for the past 4 weeks!"
"What was that?" Satin turned to her.
"Nothing!" Chenille answered a bit too quickly. The girls blinked at each other in awkward silence for a few moments.
"Ok," Satin slowly turned away from Chenille. Chenille silently sighed in relief. 4 weeks ago, Satin met a lime green troll who asked her out after talking for at least 5 minutes. Ever since that day, Satin has been pulling and pushing Chenille all over the place. She was the third wheel to all their dates, and Rudy or even Satin didn't seem to care about her. It was like they were in their own little world.
1 hour later
"Delivery!" Cooper shouted as he pulled a cart filled with Valentine's items.
"Yay! More love to spread!" Satin chimed as she ran out, catching Chenille off guard. Chenille clumsily got her balance back when they stopped at the cart. The two gawked at all the pretty flowers and baskets of fruits.
"Wow, farmer Bradley must've been preparing for this day all year," Chenille comment in amazement.
"I'll say!" Poppy popped out from the crowd of flowers. Her pink hair was sprinkled with white baby breaths," He said that so many trolls demanded flowers and goods last year that all stores sold out in one week."
"So he tripled his work so he can produce just enough for this year!" DJ Suki came up as well. She had pieces of cypress stuck in her curly hair.
"We went to help!" Smidge jumped up with red daisies in her hair.
"How nice," Satin took some boxes along with the other girls and brought them into the shop.
"I'm glad this is our last delivery," Cooper let himself fall to the ground in exhaustion," I can finally rest."
"You did a great job Cooper," Suki told him. She got out a box of chocolates from the cart and handed them to him," You deserve a treat."
"Thanks Suki!" Cooper instantly stuffed his face with chocolates.
"Hey Suki!" Chenille called out to her DJ friend.
"Yea?!" Suki walked up to the front of the stand.
"Have you received any new gifts from your secret admirer?" Chenille asked with a smirk. Cooper suddenly started to choke on a piece of chocolate.
"Cooper! you alright!?" Poppy patted his back.
"Y…. Yea…. Hold on…." Cooper coughed out a piece of chocolate. He started to breath heavy as he spoke," I'm… Ok."
He looked down at the piece of chocolate he just spat out. He looked up at the girls who all seemed a bit disgusted.
"I'll…. Uh…. Just leave it for the ants," He chuckled nervously as he kicked some dirt over it. The girls looked away and continued with the conversation.
" Not since last week," Suki replied to Chenilles question.
"Awe….. Bummer," Satin added.
"Hold on hold on…. Hold the phone!" ran up to them," Secret admirer?!"
"I've been receiving gifts at my pod lately," Suki explained. She stepped into the stand, helping with the girls unpack.
"Gifts?" Cooper repeated in shock. He thought about all the possible things she could have received," like…. Flowers?... Or chocolates?"
"Yep," Suki answered as she placed a stuffed bear on a shelf.
"F… from…. Another…. Uh… a guy?" Cooper stuttered on his words. The girls all suddenly stopped in their tracks. They all slowly turned to face the lama troll. Each one of them had either a shock, or confused expression on them.
"Yes Cooper…. I'm sure it's from a guy," Suki answered awkwardly. Cooper instantly felt embarrassed at what he just asked.
"Dang it….. I just remembered we promised to meet up with the rest at the train station to talk about the upcoming play," Cooper tried to squeeze in another topic. Poppy gasped.
"He's right!" Poppy grabbed onto Smidge and DJ Suki's hands, dragging them out," Come on! The train to the theater won't wait even for the queen!"
Cooper ran behind them but came to a stop when he saw the twins place a vase with yellow carnations on the counter. They placed a card in it that read " To DJ Suki"
"Uh… What's that?" Cooper asked in a nervous tone.
"Someone left this card and a note," Satin took out a note and read it out loud," Please deliver a dozen of yellow carnations to DJ Suki's pod along with a box of her favourite chocolates."
"He even left a card," Chenille opened the card and showed it to Cooper. He read what was inside. His ears drooped down as a worried expression started to form on him.
"Suki has been getting these gifts for a while now?" he asked.
"Almost a month actually," the twins said together. Cooper gulped at the news.
"I guess Suki must…. really be happy, huh?" Cooper struggled to talk.
"She is!... Well…" Satin had a second thought.
"Well?" Cooper repeated with hope in his voice.
"Suki has mix feelings," Chenille answered before Sayin.
"She doesn't know if she likes this guy, mainly because she never met him," Satin added into the conversation.
"But it's still mega cute to have a secret admirer!" Chenille jumped and giggled," come on, we have more work to do!"
With that the twins left to the storage room, leaving Cooper alone ,with the flowers.
"Secret admirer," He mumbled as he glared at the presents for Suki. He took a look at the card and scoffed at it," Please, this doesn't even rhyme like a good poem should. What's so special about him anyways. He can't possibly be good enough for Suki. I mean come on! Yellow carnations!?"
He plucked a carnation out of the vase and examined it.
"Anyone who knows her, knows her favourites are orchids!" he pushed it back into the vase, but pushed the vase over causing it to break and shatter. Cooper stared down at the shattered glass pieces and scattered flowers for a moment," Oh nononononononononono!"
He started to pick up the flowers up and placed them on the counter.
"Satin and Chenille are going to kill me! What to do what to do!?" Cooper panicked about what the girls will say. Ruining a flower arrangement is like ruining their favourite outfit. A complete nightmare of screams and tears. He then had a thought that made a smile form across his lips," Since there already destroyed…"
At the storage room
Satin and Chenille were looking for stuff animals to put on display.
"Awe! What a cute bunny!" Satin hugged a stuffed bunny," so cute and huggable! Just like my Rudy!"
Satin hummed a song as she twirled around with the bunny. Chenille groaned at the mention of her boyfriend again. She grabbed a hand full of stuffed animals and turned to her sister.
"come on sis, we promised Rose we would have this shop ready today,"
"Dance with me Chenille!" Satin grabbed Chenilles arms, making her drop everything and spun her around the room. Satin couldn't stop humming and dancing with her sister in her arms.
"Satin please, we have more important things to worry about," Chenille complained. But it was no use. It was like her sister was in a trance.
"Oh Chenille, don't be such a kill joy! Today is such a beautiful day to….." Satin suddenly gapsed in horror. She turned to the wall with a clock on it, checking the time," My date!"
Satin let go of Chenille, grabbed an arm full of stuffed animals and ran out, pulling Chenille behind her.
"Satin…. Slow down…. I…" Chenille tripped when Satin suddenly stopped and dropped all the toys. Chenille picked herself up and dusted her purple dress. She glared at her sister next to her," Satin! You need to be more careful! You've done nothing but push and pull me around for 4 weeks. I'm happy for you and Rudy but I beg you Satin, I…" Chenille noticed Satin wasn't paying attention. She was looking out at the distance staring at something. Chenille waved her hand in front of her face but she didn't even blink.
"Satin, are you even listening!?" Satin didn't answer. Instead she grabbed Chenilles chin and made her face was she was facing.
"TAKE THAT! YOU NO GOOD STUPID SECRET ADMIRER!" Cooper was stomping and kicking the flowers the girls have arrange. He ripped the card into a few pieces before stuffing half of them into his mouth and started chewing. He angrily mumbled something as he prepared to stuff the rest into his mouth. Until he noticed the twins staring at him. The twins blinked in surprise at his actions. They stayed that way for at least a minute, before Cooper decided to swallow the paper in his mouth, stuff the rest into his hat and put it back on his head. Without saying a word, he quickly ran off, away from the awkward moment and to the direction the girls left. The fashion twins stayed looking at the spot Cooper was just standing at, trying to gather what just happened.
"What?" the twins said together in a questioning tone.
Well that's it! I wrote the lyrics to the song and used the rhythm to the song " Accidentally in Love" from Shrek 2. See you all next chapter and Happy Valentine's Day to all. Tell me how I did and review if you like me to continue. Now if you don't mind, I'm off to the hospital to see my new baby sister!
