Scene 10 – Why?

Poppy and Branch stayed in their hug for the longest time and Branch felt his body relax and held onto Poppy for that feeling. It felt so right to hold her and feel her arms around his body. Her hand tenderly stroked his side, calming him even more.

Distantly the two trolls heard the Snack Pack starting to explain, what happend. Reluctantly the pink and blue troll parted and joined the explanation of their adventure.

Their story was met with approving murmurs and some cheers. Branch smiled and took Poppy's hand again.

„But why did Branch follow her in the first place?"

„And why did all that make him normal again?"

Poppy looked at Branch questioning. They left out his confession of his love.

„You with the bight eyes,

Gave me my courage,

And we realise,

You can't be discouraged,

In this would full of people,

Never loose sight of it all,

Shine bright, even if you light is small,", Branch started to sing again.

„Give me a smile then,

So I can't be unhappy,

I can't remember when,

I last was just laughing,

This world made me crazy,

thought I took all I can bear,

But I can call you up,

'Cause you will always be there.

You gave me my true colours,

To shine through,

Gave me my true colours,

Because I love you.", he kept singing, turning to Poppy.

„So don't be afraid, to let them show,

Your true colour, true colours, are beautiful.", Branch and Poppy finished together and gazed dreamingly into each others eyes. Their hands held onto each other and their lips met. It was a small, sensual kiss and it had a stunning effect. Both, Branch's and Poppy's, colours burst out and meld into each other, colouring the air a beautiful purple, that still lingered after the two trolls seperated.

Poppy looked at Branch and smiled. That was the reason and their future.

Thanks for reading. Blue Branch is a little surprise for anyone. That is it again from me, some more stories in progress, I will be back soon. I hope, you like it so far. Any comments, I love to read them. And a shout out to the author of "Dreams in colours". That one is great. I found it a week ago and it's brilliant.

Love, Prim
