Meanwhile, with Poppy and Branch, they were beside a river eating fruit that they had picked from the tree. They ate together and leaned against a tree

Branch sighed

"You know, after almost getting killed, Flame taking Barb, snow mountain, finding the Turq Trolle, saving Barb, it's been great. Wouldn't you agree?" Branch asked

"Couldn't agree more. It's kind of nice that we're all together again. After Barb is all healed up we can go home." Poppy said

Branch said up

"Umm right hey listen..." Branch began

Poppy looked at him

"What's the matter?" Poppy asked

"I was thinking... what if we just stay here?" Branch asked

"What? What are you talking about?" Poppy asked

"I mean- this place has so much safety. They have walls, traps, they never let their guard down, it's perfect here." Branch said

"Branch... we can't stay here. We have to go back to Trollstopia." Poppy said

"We don't even know if there's a Trollstopia to go back to. Look, Mutt told me and Carol about this place filled with Poprock Trolls just like us! It would be a great experience! We can take the kids with us!" Branch said

"Branch... I don't know..." Poppy said

"Please. At least give this place a chance." Branch said

"I did. This place is beautiful Branch but... we can't stay.." Poppy said

Branch's eyes widened

"What?" Branch asked

"We have a duty in Trollstopia! We can't just disappear forever!" Poppy said

"Poppy! We have too stay here! The walls give us safety from any predators, Flame, and so many other terrible things." Branch said

"Branch... what about Lloyd, Cream, and Boomer? We can't just ditch them. We can't leave them!" Poppy said

"Well then we'll hurry up and go get them then bring them back here." Branch says

"But Trollstopia is a two day walk from here, and you told them to not open that stump for anyone." Poppy told him

"I know! I know, but Poppy this place it's... amazing and beautiful, and me and Carol love it here! We can stay here and live with the Turq Trolls." Branch smiled

"But... but Branch, once Barb is fully healed we'll be on our way." Poppy said

"Poppy this our home. Our new home. I'm not leaving!" Branch said

"Well then what am I supposed to do?! You have to come back to Trollstopia!" Poppy said

"You're the queen Poppy!! And I am not going back there!!! It's not safe!! Now anymore!!" Branch said

"You're just saying that because of Flame!! Why don't you actually relax and breathe Branch!!!" Poppy said

"Why don't you relax and breathe!!! Look, with Flame out there it's not safe!! He knows Sparky is still alive and he's still out there!!! Listen to my words!! I AM NOT GOING BACK!!" Branch told her

"SO YOU'RE JUST GONNA LEAVE THE KIDS BEHIND?!!!" Poppy asked

"WELL YOU GO AND GET THEM THEN!!!" Branch shouted

"ONCE I STEP OUT THAT WALL I'M NOT COMING BACK!! THIS PLACE IS CHANGING EVERYONE!! IT'S MAKEN YOU GONE SOFT AND LOWER YOUR GUARD!!!" Poppy said

"THAT IS NOT TRUE!! I DON'T WANNA LEAVE THIS PLACE!! THIS IS OUR HOME!! MY HOME!!" Branch shouted
