Complicated Love

Chapter 22

The "All Music" festival is filled with trolls of all kinds. The music plays loudly so everyone can hear the music nicely. There are stands,stages,games and anything else all the tribes could want. All the decorations showcase elements of the different cultures. The festival is taking place in a big empty field in the forest which is not too far away from where different tribes are stationed permanently. Almost every troll dressed to both looked more nice and embrace their music.

I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la

Barb's personal caterbus stops outside the festival grounds. The mouth of the critter opens with it's tongue become a small and short ramp. The Rock troll Queen is first to walk out with Riff behind her carrying her guitar case.

It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya
Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dripping off me
Before I even knew her name, la-la-la

Barb just walks into the festival not worrying about Riff who was just catching with her. Then Poppy and Branch come out of the caterbus together. Poppy is wearing an black Jean skirt,skull earrings, navy off shoulder - illusion shirt, her usual headband,black eyeliner,dark pink eye shadow and glitter gloss. Branch is wearing his long leather pants,his usual earrings and dull green dress shirt with a V neckline.

As they step off the caterbus it closes it's mouth then drives off to park somewhere. Branch smiles at Poppy then takes hold of her hand gently. She replies by happily giving him a quick peck on his cheek. They are on their first date. The couple couldn't think of a more perfect opportunity for it than now. Then they start walking together again into the festival as the bright colourful lights shine all around the festival.

It felt like ooh, la-la-la
Yeah, no
Sapphire moonlight
We danced for hours in the sand
Tequila sunrise
Her body fit right in my hands, la-la-la
It felt like ooh, la-la-la, yeah

The night sky twinkles above the trolls heads. A little techno trolling splashes in a pond shaped like a troll's nose happily. The child laughs happily as one of her parents picks her up. Couples are dancing on the grass near the stage where musicians are singing to their music.

I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita

Poppy looks around at the festival. It looked better than last year. Branch looks at nothing certain as he walks. There are Trolls everywhere having fun and talking among each other.

" So what do you want to do?", Poppy asks.

" I don't know... You can pick. ", Branch replies honestly.

" Then how about we go get something to eat. I'm hungry... ", Poppy says thinking out loud.

I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya

Branch looks at Poppy not surprised. She didn't eat anything today but, light breakfast. She had to work hard and was on her feet a lot due to the Salon having annually busy rush. Poppy's tummy tumbles softly agreeing that she should eat something.

" Food it is. We will probably be stopped by troll selling food anyway. ", Branch says honestly and netrual.

The music fades more into the background as the song continues. Very soon just like Branch suspected a troll with a hotdog stand stopped them asking if any of them wanted one of his hotdogs. Poppy happily bought one feeling even more hungry and Branch did too. He wasn't as hungry as her but, the smell of the food made him feel snackish.

" Here you go. Enjoy your hotdogs. ", the troll says happily.

The troll hands them both their hotdogs in a paperbag. A few moments later Branch and Poppy are laughing as they stand near the dance floor. Their date is going very well so far. Poppy had started enjoying it more after she had ate her hotdog. Sometimes your stomach does affect your mood.

" Still can't believe nobody caught us that day. ", Branch says honestly and happily.

" If the teachers did we would had been in so much trouble. ", Poppy adds amused and happily.

" Hey Poppy! Hey Branch! ", Smidge's voice says out of nowhere.

The two trolls recognized Smidge's voice immediately so they both turned around. Only Smidge had such a deep voice. Smidge was wearing a red sparkling dress with Halter Strap and bubble skirt and red heart earrings. She smiles happily with the rest of her friends following her.

" Hey Smidge. ", Poppy greets friendly.

" Sup. ", Branch greets relaxed.

Branch randomly wraps his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders as Smidge reaches them. Smidge doesn't notice the action til a moment later. There is big group of trolls watching Smidge as she walks towards Poppy and Branch.

" Long time no see. How have you guys been?", Smidge says happily.

Branch then turns his head to Poppy and she looks at him. They both share a loving and soft expression on their faces. Smidge and her other friends who are watching them notice how they are looking at each other. It gives off couple vibes to them which wasn't far off.

" Very good actually...", Branch comments softly.

" I couldn't agree more. ", Poppy replies softly.

Branch and Poppy turns their heads back to Smidge after sharing a loving brief moment. Smidge has noticed the change in their relationship that wasn't there when she first met them. Sure Smidge only hanged out with them once but, still they weren't acting so lovey and sweet. They were more like buddies or best buds.

" Are you two dating?", Smidge asks curiously.

" We are. We are on our first date right now too. ", Poppy confirms happily.

Smidge looks at them surprised then a smile appears on her face. She didn't know they would get together but, something about them seemed to showed that they might be a happy couple.

" Oh I didn't know you two had a thing for each other. ", Smidge comments happily and jokingly.
