My first Trolls fanfiction...?

Ok, so, the thing is, that movie seems amazing, alright?! (I haven't seen it yet, so this can be a bit ooc)

It's just fluff, because I like fluff, between the older brothers and sister, because we didn't see them actually acting like siblings

Sooooo...enjoy?

Undercover siblings

"Kiss her already, man," Bruce whispered from behind the bushes. "She's your girlfriend!"

"Go easy on him," Floyd whispered. "He's shy"

"Not an excuse," Clay muttered.

"Guys, guys, shut it, he just smirked at her," John Dory interrupted.

The brothers' gazes shifted to their baby brother, careful not to be seen.

"Ohhh, what do you think he said?"

"I bet he's telling her one of his sarcastic remarks," Bruce whispered excitedly.

"Or maybe he's teasing her about something," Floyd chimed in.

"Guys, can we just focus on watching? Quit speculating," Clay interjected.

"I agree. Let's not jump to conclusions," John Dory added, his eyes fixed on the couple.

As Branch and Poppy continued to stroll along the colorful meadow, the brothers strained to hear any snippets of their conversation. They were determined to catch a rare glimpse into their usually reserved little brother's romantic life, even if it meant sneaking up on his date.

"He just said something funny!" Bruce whispered, excitement lacing his voice.

"What do you think he said?" Floyd asked, trying to peek around the bushes for a better view.

"Keep it down, guys. We don't want them to notice us," Clay cautioned them.

The brothers watched intently as Branch leaned in closer to Poppy, his voice barely audible. The occasional smile tugged at his lips, enchanting his siblings even further.

"Look at how comfortable he appears around her," John Dory remarked, impressed by the change in Branch's demeanor.

Suddenly, Branch reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair away from Poppy's face. The brothers collectively held their breath, captivated by the small gesture.

"Smooth move, little bro," Bruce whispered, a proud grin spreading across his face.

"He's really coming out of his shell, isn't he?" John Dory said, smiling.

Bruce chuckled softly, his eyes never leaving the couple's interaction. "Who would have thought that our grumpy, survivalist brother would fall head over heels for the Queen of happiness herself?"

Clay smirked, crossing his arms over his chest. "What can I say? Love can smooth even the sharpest edges."

Floyd stared blankly ahead, setting his binoculars down, then asked, "Hey, guys, do you think we should give them some privacy?"

The brothers stayed silent for a minute, staring into the distance, deep thought. Then, they shrugged.

"Nah, I say we keep watching," John Dory replied with a mischievous grin. "Just to make sure our bitty b doesn't mess this up."

Bruce nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we can't trust Branch to handle his emotions properly. It's our duty as his older brothers to ensure he doesn't sabotage his own happiness."

Floyd rolled his eyes. "You guys are ridiculous-"

Suddenly, a loud, sweet, cheerful voice interrupted their talk, saying excitedly, "Hi, guys!"

"Viva?" Clay looked up, giving a little wave, then his eyes widened when he saw Branch's head turn towards them. He grabbed Viva's hand, pulling her down next to them and making sure she wasn't visible to the couple.

Meanwhile, Branch's gaze shifted to the bushes. He rolled his eyes, shook his head, then turned his attention back to his girlfriend.

–

"Just do something!" Viva exclaimed, whispering. "Stop talking and kiss him, little sis,"

Floyd set his binoculars down and shrugged. "Trust me, we've been like this for, like, a whole hour!"

"And still…nothing" John Dory muttered, his voice tinged with disappointment.

"Poppy started it last time, so it's Branch's turn" Viva pointed out.

Bruce nodded. "Totally agree"

"Guys, guys, guys!" Clay whispered excitedly, pointing towards the couple. "Branch is whispering in Poppy's ears…and she's…blushing?"

"What do you think he's saying?" Floyd asked eagerly.

Bruce smirked. "Probably something like 'You're so beautiful, Poppy', or 'I'm lucky to have you',"

"Is that a flower crown he's making?" Clay questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"You betcha," Viva said, beaming.

John Dory pouted. "He didn't want to make breakfast with me this morning! And now he's gladly making a flower crown!" he said, annoyed. "This traitor…"

"You're his brother," Clay pointed out. "He has four of those, but there's only one Poppy"

The rest of the crew shrugged, nodding in agreement.

"I bet Poppy will start the kiss again this time" Floyd suddenly said.

Bruce looked at him. "Dude, not twice in a row"

"Well, from the looks of it, your brother is too shy to start it," Viva shot playfully.

The four brothers gasped dramatically. "You take that back," Clay whispered.

But before Viva could respond, they felt someone's eyes, and they turned around to see the couple standing behind them, Branch giving them the 'Seriously?' face, while Poppy waved at them enthusiastically with a wide smile.

"Wow…" Branch said, raising an eyebrow. "Are you done?"

"Alright, what gave us away?" Clay surrendered, rising to his feet.

The younger troll smirked and replied, "Well, let's just say I have some hidden talents that come in handy when it comes to detecting unwanted guests."

"Har, har, so funny, bitty b," Bruce teased. "We were just making sure you didn't ruin your date-"

"Branch never ruins our dates!" Poppy interrupted cheerfully. "You guys don't have to worry about it."

"And see you two kiss," Floyd continued, blushing slightly

"Not you, Floyd," Branch muttered under his breath

"Now that we're here…" Poppy began slowly, then, as usual, her words came out in a rush. "I was planning to throw a party tonight to celebrate the twins' birthday, you know, Cooper and Prince D, will you guys sing? DJ Suki will prepare the music you want, but we'd like something funk, what do you say? Can you do it?"

"What did she just say?" Bruce whispered to Branch, who shot his brother a warning glare, then smiled softly at his girlfriend.

"Of course we can, just prepare good music."

Poppy beamed, grabbing her sister's hand and rushing to Troll village to spread the news, shouting a loud, "Thanks, guys" before leaving.

"Seriously, what did she say?" Clay said.

soft bros ft. the efforts of my unseen troll art improvement speedrun

these movies are a reminder in goober form that actually, i love music intensely

[uncanny-tranny]

Periodic reminder from your friendly neighbourhood gymbro: The work you put in will come back. If you modify your workouts, the reward will still come to you.

So do knee pushups (no, we're not calling them "girl pushups"). Do weight machines. Put the resistance or weight low on machines.

The reward of fitness still benefits you because fitness is not a punishment. It should never be used or seen as a punishment for existing. Fitness is just... part of existence for many of us. However your fitness looks is fine. Don't let the broader fitness culture tell you that you need to do things their way. You'll be fine with what you're doing. If you stop needing modifications as you start doing more intense workouts, great! But if you never stop using modifications, then that's fine because fitness isn't a punishment or admittance of failure.

Time and Time Again comes back tonight!

Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know it was a long hiatus.

My health was struggling, my arm was (is) hurting, and I decided it wasn't worth it. I'd rather be slow!

So thank you for giving me that grace, and I hope you'll be there with me for the rest of the series.
