Can't Keep It a Secret Forever (Part 4)

Branch sat by the edge of Techno Lake and kicked his feet around in it.

He looked up at the starry night sky and sighed.

“I miss you,” He whispered quietly.

“Sup, Dubstep?” Synth jumped out of the lake like a dolphin.

Branch jumped up in surprise, and laughed a little. Then he looked back down at the ground again.

Synth’s usual smile faded away. He hopped up onto land and sat himself next to Branch.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

Branch looked at him and then looked away, “Nothing,” he muttered.

“Hey,” Synth turned Branch’s face to him, “I can see something’s wrong,”

Branch looked at him, but stayed silent.

“You can tell me anything, Dubs. Even the serious stuff! I can be serious,” He said as a glowstick fell out of this hair, “Uh, I can be serious SOMETIMES,”

Branch chuckled and sighed, “I sorta said it in that little speech,” He looked away from him, “I lost my colors when I was about 3 or 4,”

Synth’s eyes widened, “Really?”

“Yeah. I felt responsible for my grandma’s death. Even though I knew she made the choice herself, she wouldn’t have had to make that choice if it hadn’t been for me. I was just so sad and angry, that it just kind of…took over.”

Branch looked up at Synth who had an understanding look in his eyes, though Branch didn’t understand why.

“I stayed that way for 20 years. It wasn’t until about a year ago that I regained them,”

Synth’s jaw dropped, “WHAT? That’s so long!” He wrapped his arms around his tail, “When the strings broke and we all lost our colors it was terrible. I felt so… empty and broken, “He looked at Branch with watery eyes, “You were like that for 20 years?”

Branch nodded sadly and looked down at the ground, "The sadness still comes back sometimes. And today is one of those days," He looked up at the sky, "Today was her birthday…"

Synth wrapped his arms around Branch, “I’m sorry,” he said pulling away, “I… I know what it’s like to lose a family member,” Synth whispered.

Branch looked up surprised, “You do?”

Synth nodded, “I had a twin sister. Her name was Wave. We partied together. Laughed together. We spent so much time together, that instead of calling us our separate names, people just mashed them together. We became Synthwave,”

“Sounds like you two were really close,”

“We were. Then one day, I was so lost in the beat, I didn’t see that glittershark coming, or hear Wave warning me. And she,” Synth’s voice broke. He wiped the tears that were flowing from his eyes, swallowed the lump in his throat and continued, “She pushed me out of the way,” Synth’s eyes went wide and he shivered, “I can still hear her screams…”

Branch sat stunned. Another troll, who had lost a loved one almost the same way as him.

He had thought of Synth as this party animal who didn’t have a care in the world, when really, he was using his beats and raves to keep his sadness at bay.

Branch grabbed Synth’s face, just as Synth had done with his, and turned it towards him.

“Hey, I’m here for you,” He pulled Synth closer, so close that their noses nearly touched, "I'll always be here for you,"

Then he pressed his lips to Synth's.

Synth's eyes widened in surprise, and Branch broke away from him.

"I-I'm sorry. It was too soon wasn't it?" Branch laid his head in his hands, "Dangit Branch, you ruin everything,"

Synth pulled Branch's head up and gave him a smirk, "Dubs? I've been hoping for that since the flavorberry patch. You had perfect timing," then he pulled Branch into a deeper kiss.

OoOooOOOooo, I hope you enjoyed this! I'm probably going to revisit this 'Lost Twin Sister' thing, it's pretty interesting. (Notice how I said LOST not dead? 🤔) I know Synth's story is basically the same as Branch's, but… eh.

Just a little Christmassy thing....

My Teacher: your final assignment is to write a story!

Me: Oo great! *writes a 6000 word story about a princess falling for a female thief and then getting married*

My teacher: .... I should have specified short.

Brain: Greetings. i am The Brain, and this is my assistant, Pinky.

Pinky: *waves* Narf!

Brain: We are two lab mice attempting to take over the world and we invite you to join us in our conquests. Do you accept?

Dr Doofenshmirtz: ... Put these hats on first. 

Pinky: Ooo! A fedora! How stylish~ Zort! 

Brain: ... Why, may I ask?

Dr Doofenshmirtz: The hats make it feel like I’m with my nemesis, Perry the Platypus.

Brain: Your nemesis is a... platyus? *turns to Pinky* I’m not sure if this is the best partner for us, Pinky. 

Pinky: Why not, Brain? He has so many fun fun silly willy inventions to play with! Like this one with all the lights and colors! Naaaaarrrf~ I wonder what this button does! 

Doof: NO NO! DON’T TOUCH THAT SELF DESTRUCT BUTTON!

BANG!

Brain: You... you had a self destruct button on your machine? 

Doof: Of course! That was the Self-Destruct-Inator!

Brain:...

Doof: ...

Brain: ... We’ve decided to go in another direction. 

This is great!

Me watching the original Animaniacs for the first time: *Loving it*

My Dad: *Basking in the nostalgia*

My mom, who never watched animaniacs: Wtf is this.

Can't Keep It a Secret Forever (Part 2)

Music was blasting. Trolls were dancing. Everyone was having a great time.

The delegates stood by the wall, watching everyone partying, and keeping an eye out for Branch.

"Huh, though he'd be here by now," Val mumbled.

"Yeah," Synth agreed, "It's not like Dubstep to be late,"

"Agreed!"

Poppy noticed them standing by the wall and walked over.

"Hey! No wall flowering!" She said with her hands on her hips.

"We planned the party, we can do whatever we'd like, Miss-"

Holly slapped a hand over Val's mouth before she could say anything she'd regret.

"Remember, Val," she whispered, "She's a queen,"

Val pushed Holly's hand away, and crossed her arms.

Poppy stared at Val for a moment and shook her head, amused.

"Anyway, have you guys seen Branch?"

The delegates shook their heads in synch.

"That's why we're standing here. We promised Branch we'd wait for him,"

Poppy looked at them confused, "That's weird, Branch hasn't missed a single party since regaining his-" Poppy put her hand over her mouth.

Holly looked at her confused, "Since regaining his what?"

Uh oh. Shouldn't have said that, Poppy thought to herself.

"Is he hiding something from us?"

Branch specifically told me not to mention his colors...

Before Poppy could try to fix the mess that she had made, the music stopped.

Trolls gasped and children ran to their parents.

They all spun around to see what was the matter.

"Oh-"

"My-"

"GLOWSTICKS!" Synth finished, distracting everyone for a moment.

"Glowsticks?"

"Yeah! Want one?" He offered, pulling one out of his hair.

"Um, not right now," Poppy declined, then spun back around to look at the troll who caused this chaos to unfold.

"Is that… Branch?" Val asked, puzzled.

Poppy nodded.

The same question was on all of their minds.

"Why is he…" Synth trailed off.

"Grey?"

I didn’t want to make it too long soooo, I guess we might need a part 3... Only if you guys want it! (P.S. If i make a part 3, it’ll probably have some ship stuff in it. I want to do it with one of the delegates tho [sorry Broppy lovers ;( ] I guess you could comment a ship if you’d like. I’m thinking Branchxsynth or BranchxLownote. Dunno tho)

I'm sorry. I looked at her and thought, PINEAPPLE.

Just a new art style I'm trying out!
