As I peeled my eyes open the sudden urge to vomit consumed my whole being as Floyd sat on the bed next to me. Holding a cup of pale brown liquid that had jasmine flower petals floating across its milky surface.
"What happened last night?" My bleary eyes glanced around to see I was back in our room on the bed, my throat felt sore along with my hands, I looked down to see them all bloody, bruised with open cuts that were now scabbing over.
I was also I was back in my night gown with the heavy fur blankets thrown over me as my stomach twisted in pain,
"Oh sweetheart it went really well..... Besides the fact you ate 7 ring pops, punched me and Poppy's Ex boyfriend in the face, got your nose pierced by Viva, cried about how your biological sister never loved you, how hot I am, got into a Mosh pit and fought like 3 people who tried to hit on me.
I mean babe I can honestly keep going especially about that rose tattoo Poppy convinced you to get. Plus you got on top of the table and started to sing about how you wanted to fuck me like an animal." I blinked both eyes slowly as I tried to recall the night that obviously ended in shambles,
My mouth could still taste the blue raspberry flavor of the ring pops on my tongue and I probably looked like I wanted to die,
"What do you mean you and Poppy's ex boyfriend?" I blinked my bleary vision away as I attempted to sit up,
"Turns out we both dated Creek at some point in time. Apparently he had a type for pink hair." I couldn't ignore the taste of my vomit oozing from the back of my tongue and I saw how Floyd rapidly grabbed a little basket in order for me to grip it and vomit into it,
As I let all of my contents of my stomach out into the small waste basket, I could feel a warm body cuddle into me as I heaved.
As I shuddered as the final chunks of clumpy glitter escaped my throat I could feel Floyd's cheek pressing into mine as a form of comfort, suddenly the night started coming back to me,

"Poppy girl that's not a dress that's a T-shirt that barely covers your ass" I snarked as me, Viva and Poppy got ready for the night out,
Poppy wore a deep forest green colored BroZone T-shirt that barely reached past her cherry blossom colored thighs, which were gripped by a white stocking. Her shoes were a white fur leg warmers which hid her feet, Poppy's makeup consisted of glittery green eyeshadow with a star on the corner of her eyes.
My outfit probably wasn't much better, as I was forced into a practically matching outfit except my shirt was a deep almost black magenta with a picture of Floyd of it,
But his younger self with all his hair sticking up with the writing that said,
'Floyd: The sensitive one'
I wore fingerless fishnet gloves and had pitch black calf high boots that had an open toe with a rather large heel that made me an inch taller than Viva.
My hair was put in an updo, some of my hair was sleeked over and tucked behind my ear as the rest was tied up in a messy updo with pin curls, letting a few loose curls frame my face, which was decorated with my cyan eyeshadow and holographic green lipstick.
I wore my indigo purplish crystal choker that poppy recreated by smashing the original one, however by smashing the original one she took the remaining pieces and made dangling crystal earrings from it.
Viva however wore a red long sleeved thigh jumpsuit, with a star cut out on the stomach, she had large silver hoops, she wore fishnets with no shoes however her toenails were painted black.
Her yellow fringe was dangling over her her thick mascara coated lashes that were surrounded by a thick layer of eyeliner with her hair was in a beehive updo with a headband.
"Do you think Barb will like it?" Her eyes drifted towards Poppy and her- I mean our joyous pink sister responded,
"She's going to go crazy for you!" I could still see the anxiety rattle her entire core as I watched her eyes gloss over,
"Hey Poppy-kins, do you think you can grab your makeup bag I want to add something to our looks." I smiled at Poppy's enthusiasm as she hopped up and ran off to grab her makeup bag,
After a minute of being alone with my other 'sister' I strolled up to her and started to twirl my fingers through her fringe,
"So how did you and this barb meet?" I watched as her face grew cherry red as her nervousness melted into a lovestruck look and she giggled,
"Well it started on the Bergen golf course, I created it after we were separated by the tunnels collapsing, Poppy tried to convince me to leave and I was just so scared! I mean what happens if we got eaten again! What if something bad happened again because I made the wrong choice!" I put my hands on her face rubbing my thumbs into her soft peach fuzz cheeks as I put our foreheads together,
"But... I wanted to trust my sister, if she was still alive after 20 years... That means maybe just maybe, the world had changed but it changed without me.... So I left after Clay did, I sent a Trilling Bird to the rest of my people so they knew that it was safe then I realized I was lost." Her voice was rickety as her throat started to get hiccupy, I looked into her violet eyes that I could see tears cluttering at her lash line. I stood there in silence and let her finish her sentence,
"But then it happened that Barb was looking for Poppy to get some new ideas for her girl group and I guess I was mistaken for Poppy since we do look twins-"
"Viva girl your hair is literally the color of the sun,plus your taller there's no way you could've been mistaken." I walked away from her with my hands on my hips as I moved to sit on the vanity crossing my legs in the process.
"Well, we found each other and she was just so charming as she squirted that cheese sauce in her mouth." I could see the hearts in her eyes and I smiled as she definitely had it bad for this barb character,
"Well you're my sister now along with Poppy so if she breaks your heart I'll destroy her and guess what, if she doesn't want you then she's missing out on your amazingness anyway." I suddenly had my arms full as Viva hugged me and I lightly caressed the baby hairs on her nape not wanting to destroy the hard work that Poppy put into our sisters hair.
"Guys, I'm back!" Poppy held up the bag and I gotten to my feet as I held the glittery green bag and with a smile I turned and told them to take a seat,
Poppy bounced to the chair that was in front of the vanity and waited for me to take creative liberties, I zipped open the bag and saw the small case that held a bunch of rhinestones.
I lifted Poppy's head up with one hand and carefully placed the opened case of fake jewels next to her at the vanity,
"Okay Poppyseed, I need you to be perfectly still." I took a small rhinestone with an efficiency I used to achieve whilst doing Vel's makeup growing up reached over and took hold of that peach fuzz covered chin of Poppy's, gently pulling her closer to me. I looked for a perfect place to place the gemstone only to stick it to right below her eye, making it seem as if she had a glittery beauty mark.
"There, what do you think?" I turned Poppy around and heard her coo with appreciation,
"I love it!" She practically flew out of her chair to let Viva get herself onto the seat as her replacement. As Viva sat down I again grabbed another stick on gemstone and repeated the process.
As Viva got up to spin around with Poppy, I repeated the same process on myself, giving myself the same faux beauty mark as the two pink trolls who were with me.
As I turned around I had each of my arms filled with the pink sisters.
They both smiled at me and Poppy was the first to speak,
"Now we match like siblings." I nodded my head and we made our way out to the party,
The loud booming music shook me down to my bones and the flashing lights were as bright as the sun itself.
We eventually met up with our respective partners,
Floyd wore a fishnet shirt with a tank top underneath with jean shorts, obsidian colored fishnets covering the rest of his legs. He had a large star earring on and his lips were glossy as well as his smoky eye lids.
"Wow Ven you look gorgeous." His pupils flared at my appearance and I flushed under his lava hot attention, however I sprung back with a gentle coo of,
"You're one to talk." I purred as my arms found themselves around his neck. As Floyd leaned down to kiss my already maimed neck I grinned as I watched Poppy tackle Branch and gave him cute kisses all over his face.
However my smile faded as I watched Viva just stand there fiddling with her fingers as she stood outside a group of what I resume are rock trolls, they were surrounding a muddy red-skinned Rock Troll with a bright red mohawk that had a plethora of other colors scattered throughout it.
Her left ear is missing at the tip like it was ripped off this troll had a plethora of hoop earrings She also has heavy black makeup around her eyes with thick clumpy lashes.
Her outfit consisted of torn-up white tank top, black leather shredded pants, studded bracelets and a silver belt with a skull buckle.
Viva's face looked so vulnerable at the female troll that had so many gazes upon her, this must be the Queen Barb I've heard of....
I gotta get Viva to go up to her. I looked to Floyd as he tilted my chin back to face him, I pecked his lips before I whispered,
"I'll be right back beautiful, I'm gonna go help my sister." I nudged my head towards Viva and his eyes went glossy before he nodded his head.
I strolled over and tried to make my way through the various rockers and then when I was finally up front, I could see that this queen of rock was talking to another female troll, this one had flared up hair with a flush on her ash colored skin and I saw red,
I marched with vigor to the rock queen and smiled as I tried to join in on their conversation,
"Heyyyyy, you're the Queen of rock right? It's so nice to meet you!" I smiled as the queen took way more interest in me than the other troll. The other troll whose presence was a nuisance to me huffed and walked away.
"Yeah man, heard about you from popsqueek." Jesus that's fast, but it's Poppy I believe she's some sort of god at this point with how fast she can do anything she puts her mind to.
"Yeah, I love her she's great! But have you met our sister yet?"
"Wait you mean Viva? the cute blonde one?" Jackpot- I can definitely work with cute as her taking a liking to Viva,
"Yeah! I mean I'm pretty sure that I think I heard that Clay was planning on hitting on her soon-"
"WHAT!?" She snarled and I recognized that emotion, it was the one Floyd wore when I got aggressively harassed by that fan on our way to my grandmas house...
It was Jealousy, I definitely could piece them together especially since it's obvious how upset Barb sounded.
"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure she's into rockers." I tried to be subtle and was met with the rock trolls face turning a deeper shade of mahogany as she awkwardly coughed into her hand.
"Well uh- I mean Viva's just so amazing, strong and not to mention she's just so tall and I honestly don't think I have a chance with her especially since I tried to colonize the trolls" she sucked air through her teeth at that recalling. I definitely think they're into each other
"Look as her brother, I have to be real with you, I totally think you two should get together, you'd be so cute together." I analyzed how Barb fiddled with her guitar string and I let out a sigh at her continued silence,
"Barb.. you never know if you don't throw yourself out there.. who knows you might find out that your feelings aren't as one sided as you think." I put a hand on her shoulder and I smiled at her and observed as she huffed out and shrugged her shoulders as she moved through the audience.
Viva looked at me with a concerned look on her face and I smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up.
Suddenly Barb was upon her and I could see her lips moving but I couldn't hear anything.
I suddenly watched as Viva's eyes pouring tears as she suddenly picked up the rock queen and spinning her around, beaming as if god himself came down was on my older sister's face.
My work as a baby brother was complete.
I felt a tug on the bottom of my shirt and looked down to see a glitter covered troll, he wore no clothes except an exceptionally large pair of shades.
"You want some of this?" He waved a ring pop around and I nodded my head,
I loved ring pops growing up, but my parents were always against it since it would rot our teeth. I accept the morsel from the small troll and as I put it in my mouth,
Suddenly the world was bathing in colors I couldn't ever imagine.
