Now Poppy and Branch are watching everyone giving each other their gifts before they finally turned facing each other.
"Who did you get?" They asked at the same time then everyone begin walking up to watch them and the girls began getting excited.
"I'll tell you if you tell me" Branch said.
"Uh, both of us at same time?" Poppy suggested.
Then they started counting "One, two, three... You!" and pulled out their names. Poppy and Branch then started laughing nervously.
"Okay, um... Do you want to go first?" Poppy asked.
"Well, I made this really, really cool thing" Branch started to say.
"I'm sure it's great!" Poppy says getting excited.
"But it exploded and blew me into a tree" Branch finished sadly.
"Oh, that's not so great" Poppy corrected herself feeling bad for Branch.
"Yeah, I may have overdone a bit" Branch says then added "Anyway, this is all I could scrape together [ he pulled out a scrapbook from his hair and handed it to Poppy ] Here".
Poppy's eyes widen as Branch gives her a scrapbook and looks at it. "I know it's kind of lame" Branch says.
Poppy looks at the title and it's called 'Branch And Poppy And Ruby's Great Adventure' and she opens it. The first page showed the time Poppy played her ukulele to Branch while she, Branch and Ruby were on a mission to Bergen Town, the time where they both sang the Pop mashup in Lonesome Flats, there was the time where Branch saved both Ruby and Poppy from the spiders and the next page showed the three of them helping Bridget with her date with Gristle, the next two pages showed Ruby meeting the Trolls for the first time and a photo of Ruby, her, Branch and the Snack pack in a group photo, then the last two pages showed a picture of her and Branch riding Sheila B and a photo of her and Branch holding hands and another showed a picture of just Poppy and Branch and words covered in glitter says 'You make me happy'.
"Branch... You scrapbooked? For me?" Poppy asked Branch.
"Yeah, and I think I permanently glued to my fingers together doing it" Branch says while showing Poppy his hand.
"Branch, you know I can get it unstuck for you" Ruby says from the crowd causing Branch to look at her and smiled at her and she smiles back.
Poppy giggles and closes the book and says to Branch "I love it. It's a gift that only you could give me".
Branch smiles at her.
"Ok um... Now, it's my turn" Poppy says nervously. Everyone was eager to find out what Poppy got him as she pulls a rope opening her giant present and revealed.... To be nothing inside.
"Huh? Everyone says in confusion even Amber, Becky and Ruby were surprised because Poppy was always the one coming up with great ideas.
"Well, that sucks" Cooper blurted out.
"Mmm definitely" Becky also says.
Unsure on how to react Branch pretends to be happy and says "Hey, cool. An invisible mountain bike".
A bell bike was heard and Legsley says while riding here "No way! I got the same thing".
"I... I didn't get you anything" Poppy confessed and then adds.
"Because when I tried to think about what to get the coolest troll in the whole world, I totally drew a blank! I mean what do you even get someone who is so sweet and so funny and kind and cute and like weirdly over prepared for everything?".
Branch smiles at her and says "you know the thing I like most about the holidays is just [ hold out his hands for Poppy and she grabs them ] being together with you". Poppy smiles at him and the both hugged each other and everyone was in awe at this beautiful scene and even Ruby couldn't help but let a single tear down on her face happy for two best friends.
