Back at school, Azalea was having fun with her new friends.

They played games. The ate snacks. They even learned a new song.

(Insert song here)

After school, Poppy went with Twig to pick up Azalea. "Mommy!" Azalea shouted joyfully, as she ran to hug her mom. She looked around. "Where's daddy?" she asked.
"Oh. Daddy's in the dog house, sweetie."
"Dog house? Are we getting a dog!?" Azalea shouted joyfully, bouncing up and down. Poppy chuckled. "No sweetie. It's just an expression. Now, what do you say we go get some ice-cream?"
"Yeah!" Azalea and Twig yelled out, as they all began heading towards the ice-cream stand.

Back at the bunker, Branch sat at the dining room table. "Ugh..." he sighed, feeling bad for what he had done. He couldn't just sit around anymore. He needed to take a walk to clear his head.

Branch kicked at stones, as he walked through the woods, thinking of how he could make things better with Poppy. "What am I gonna do?" He sat down on a rock, putting his face in his hands, as he sighed.

Suddenly, he heard a noise. He looked up, but saw nothing.

"Hello?" He stood, looking around, defensively. "Who's there?" There was no answer.

"Hmmm..." He looked around one last time, and then began walking again. He didn't get far, however before he heard the noise again. He jumped, spinning around, but still he saw nothing.

In the bushes, two glowing red eyes stared at Branch, without him realizing.

Branch continued to look around, still not seeing anything.

The creature in the bush, licked it's lips, and then pounced. Branch was still unaware of the danger, but turned at the last second, seeing the Cuddle Pup Mama coming right at him.

He jumped out of the way, the Cuddle Pup Mama flying right past him. From the ground, he watched, as it shook it's head, and then turned around.

"Ugh... ugh..." Branch said, scooting back in fear.

The Cuddle Pup Mama growled, inching forwards, towards Branch, before it pounced again.

Once again, Branch jumped out of the way, getting up to run.
