Poppy and Branch were inside the bunker. They were playing a game. Branch didn't enjoy it very much, but Poppy? It was her favorite

Just then an image of Trollex and Barb flashed through their heads. They sighed happily

"What are you sighing about?" They both asked each other, at the same time

"What? Why are you talking at the same time as me?" They asked

"Well I saw Trollex and Barb in my head. What? You too?" They said

"Oh my holy Troll! This means something!" Poppy said

"What? No it doesn't. Yeah I like them just as much as I love you, but that doesn't mean anything." Branch said

Poppy looked at Branch in doubt

"OK!! OK!! You caught me! I mean their both so beautiful!! I mean it's not like I lie around just thinking of the touch of their hair." Branch said, petting the air

Poppy looked at him. Branch looked at her

"Or something." Branch said

Branch blinked and then rolled his eyes with a sigh

"Just say what you wanted." Branch said

"Ok! Now imagine a pathway of new love. We can have both of them together with us. Four people equals four times the love. So why don't the four of us just get together?!" Poppy said with a smile

"Poppy. Once a Troll finds one they like, they leave a mark on their neck to show that their already taken. Us Trolls....are used to having one." Branch said

"Well who cares? Why should love have limited? We can mark them to! It's no big deal. It never said how many a Troll could have." Poppy said

Branch couldn't argue with that. A Troll never tried before. Branch did have feelings for Trollex and Barb anyway. What's the worse that could happen?

At the Techno Reef, Trollex and the Techno Trolls were having a rave. Synth was by Trollex's side the entire time. He noticed Trollex kind of zone out. Synth smirked

"Soooo, you thinkin about that rocker chick?" Synth asked

Trollex blushed

"Her too, and maybe two others." Trollex said

"Ooooh!! The king gots two more crushes!" Synth teased

"Yeah, yeah, just don't tell anyone about it." Trollex said

"But aren't you with that rocker chick? How would it work?" Synth asked

"Guess we'll find out soon. I mean we're going on a double date with Branch and Poppy anyway!" Trollex said with a smile

"Sure! And I'll be right there." Synth said

"Don't go." Trollex said

"I'm so going." Synth said

Trollex sighed

In Volcano Rock City, Barb was walking with Riff and Val. Riff and Val looked at each other and smirked

"So, Barb. I know your double date is soon. You've been distracted about it." Riff said

"I haven't been that distracted." Barb said

"Dude just the other day you were mumbling Trollex, Branch, and Pop-Squeaks names in your sleep." Val said

"No I wasn't." Barb said

Riff pulled out a whole folder of Barb saying their names

"Ok! You caught me! Just don't tell anyone. Everyone knows a Troll can only be with one, and I like Fish Ears, Boytoy, and Popcorn." Barb said

Riff and Val looked at her

"Don't look at me like that. Nobody can know. We don't know what will happen." Barb said

Riff and Val looked at each other and smiled

"We won't tell anyone." Val said

"Yeah, you're secret is safe with us." Riff said

"Thanks guys." Barb said with a smile

The three walked away with each other. Completely unaware that some had been watching them, hearing everything they had said
