In his room, Branch was just finishing wrapping Poppy's present. He had unwrapped it and then wrapped it again, several times, wanting it to be perfect for her.
He looked at it, and sighed, unimpressed with his wrapping skills.
"Great..." he mumbled to himself. "Why can't I get this right?"
Suddenly, the bedroom door began to open, slowly.
Branch gasped, quickly shoving the present under the bed, and then climbing under the covers to pretend to be asleep.
Poppy peeked into the room, making sure Branch was listening to her, and resting.
She smiled, as she saw him sleeping in his bed. She thought he looked so cute, when he was sleeping. Then again... he was cute all the time. 🥰
Slowly, she shut the door, Branch opening an eye to make sure she was gone.
He sighed with relief, and then climbed out of bed, grabbing the present he had been working on.
"Well... let's try again," he mumbled to himself, as he unwrapped the present for what had to be the twentieth time.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Poppy looked up, curious about who it could possibly be.
She rode up the elevator, opening the hatch.
"Holly?" she said, confused, as she saw the country troll standing in front of her with the Present Posey.
"Where's Branch?" Holly said, intimidatingly, her arms crossed, as she glared at Poppy. "We need to have a little chat..."
