(Y/n)'s POV
Later, the girls are helping me get ready for the party. They put me in a white hoodie crop top, with a black mini skirt and blue leg warmers (Like Satin). Janell and Aliki helps with my nails and make up.
"You look fantastic (Y/n)!" Clover says, reaching for my beanie. "Now we just need to fix your hair-"
I back away holding onto my hat.
"Come on," Janell said "You can't wear that forever."
"But Cooper wears his hat all the time..." I spoke. "Besides...I don't want to see-"
"Fine," Aliki speaks. "We'll skip the hair, but find something fashionable to wear. I mean you have tons of beanies to wear, so you must have something stylish."
"Make sure you show up for the party," Clover says. "I don't want anyone calling you a Bra- I mean party pooper."
They all left for the party as I looked through the dresser drawers for a "nicer" beanie. I find a purple beanie with glitter on it, and take off my black one, but not before looking in the mirror and seeing horns on my forehead. Not wanting to remember my past with them, I quickly place the other beanie on my head.
But before heading out, I drew a picture of Branch sitting by a pound surrounded by fireflies and write a letter to him. I then hand it to my sister's pet bug, Sparx.
I thought that since almost no one does much for him, it would be nice to just draw a picture and maybe write a poem for him.
"Send this to Branch's home please. And thank you." I say as he leaves.
As I take a deep breath I open the door and leave for the party. As I'm walking to the party, I think about how everyone expects me to be like Clover; all happy, loud and social. She wants me to be like everyone else, but I can't help but stay to myself most of the time...
As I continued walking I started to quietly sing.
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I've become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take...!
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I've Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you-
My singing was cut off as I bumped into someone. Branch. I noticed that I was gray, and quickly changed to my fake colors.
"Hey, watch where you're going-" He shouted angrily, before noticing it was me. "Oh, hey, (Y/n)."
"H-hey... S-sorry B-branch..." I said getting up. I notice that he dropped all his sticks, and quickly picked them. He stands up and I give him back his stick.
"...Thanks."
We then suddenly heard fire works and music going off.
"Oh no! I'm late!" I started running. "Clover's gonna be so mad!"
"Hey!"
I stopped and turned to Branch.
"Are they...forcing you to go to the party?"
"Ah- ....I... Well... Poppy and the others just wanted me to be there... I mean Clover and her friends didn't want me to be a- I mean I don't want to go, but everyone wondered why I-!" I cleared my throat, "I should get going...I don't want to be a bother to you."
Branch's POV
A bother? Since when was she a bother to me?
"Uh...okay." I said, as she quickly flies away. "Hey, wait! Hold on!"
But she already left. Her colors...I swear they were gray a moment ago. And that song she was singing...didn't seem happy at all.
No one's POV
The party started and everyone was having a great time. However Poppy noticed Clover and her friends waiting by a tree. She decides to go over to them.
"Hey girls! What's wrong?" She asked.
"Hey Poppy, have you seen (Y/n)?" Clover asked.
"You mean she didn't come?"
"She was supposed to." Jenelle said. "I hope she's just late and not bailing out."
(Y/n) then lands behind them.
"S-sorry, I'm late." She said looking down.
"That's alright!" Poppy said. "This party's just getting started!"
Suddenly large speakers are set up and the music gets louder and everybody started dancing like crazy. Poppy and the others joined everyone in the crowd leaving (Y/n) alone.
"H-hey, w-wait!" She tried to call out, but they were already gone.
Lights were flashing and glitter bombs were being shot everywhere. Smidge even got hit by a glitter bomb, but got up and went back to partying.
Branch watched as everyone was partying from on the top. He was about to leave until he saw (Y/n) inside the crowd of trolls, with an extremely nervous look. Guess a party with explosions, loud music, and crazy partiers is too much for (Y/n).
"She was forced to this party." Branch said as he watched her try to leave only to get grabbed by the arm by Creek. Deciding not the see the rest, Branch finally leaves.
"Hey, sweetums." Creek speaks. "Where are you going?"
"I...I was...looking for C-Clover." She lied.
"I'll help you find her. She's over there by DJ Suki. Come on."
"Uh...O-okay."
He drags her through the crowd of trolls as they see Clover spinning in the air spreading glitter everywhere from her bag.
"I'll be right back. I'm just gonna got shoot more glitter bombs." Creek said leaving (Y/n) alone in the crowd.
"W-wait-" Too late. He was already gone.
She soon heard Poppy yell, "MORE GLITTER!!!"
With that, 6 flowers opened up shooting glittery light rays, making an explosion so big that it nearly blew everyone away. It blew Cooper's hat off, and (Y/n) managed to catch her beanie and put it back on before it blew away.
