     "AHHHHH!" Poppy, Branch, and Barb screamed, flying through the wormhole, and landing in the fountain.

     They splashed into the water, immediately jumping to their feet, as they coughed, gasping for air.

     "We made it!" Poppy yelled, excitedly. "Now what?"

     She and Barb both turned to Branch, looking at him for an answer.

     Quickly, he reached into his hair, pulling out the tracking device.

     "Hmm... well... this dot it where we are," he said, pointing. "And this dot is Azalea."

     "Wow... she's very far away... how are we gonna get to her?" Poppy said.

     Branch shrugged, climbing out of the fountain.

     "Uh... Branch? What are you doing?" Poppy asked.
"Finding Azalea," he replied, looking down at the ground, trying to figure out how to get down from the fountain, safely.

     "You're just gonna walk?" Barb questioned.

"Uh...yeah? I would walk a thousand miles, and I would walk a thousand more to find my daughter," Branch replied.

     He jumped off of the fountain, landing on the ground, beginning to walk, following the tracker.

     "Wait, Branch," Poppy said, jumping down from the fountain, and running over to him.

     He stopped, looking at her.

     "I have a better idea," she said, smiling.
"Oh no..." Branch said. "The five words no troll ever wants to hear come out of your mouth..."
"Come on!"

     Poppy grabbed his wrist, running off, joyfully, as she dragged him along.

     Barb shrugged, and then jumped down from the fountain, following them.
