Sick Branch

Guy Diamond

It's his turn for Branch duty!

Thankfully he had gotten more advice then the rest of them.

Rule number one, no yelling.
Rule number two, be gentle.
Rule number three, be firm.
Rule number four, stay calm.
Rule number five, always disintegrate the pills.

Not a lot, but enough.

Anyway, he walked into his pod and saw Branch standing with a mischievous grin.

He smiled, "Hey, Branch, what are you doing..?"

Branch giggled and dropped to all fours, speeding out of the room.

Guy Diamond stood in shock for a moment before running after him, "Branch! Branch, get back here!" He said firmly as Branch ran out of the pod.

He quickly followed the escapee.

He sighed as he watched trolls stop and stare at the sick troll.

He ran even faster, "Branch! You need your medicine! Come back here!"

He bit his lip, he was about to use his last resort, Poppy told him to use it if he got out.

At first Guy Diamond was upset that she wanted him to whistle at Branch like he was a trained puppy, but now he understood why.

He stopped running and whistled.

He watched as Branch's ears perked up and he stopped running, turning to Guy Diamond and walking over.

Branch stood up and grabbed his hand.

Guy Diamond was shocked, why did he respond like this?

He could think about that later and ask Poppy and Creek about it, he needed to get Branch back.

He led the younger boy back into his pod, "Okay Branch, you need some medicine and a nap."

Branch huffed, "No! I got energy and I need to run!"

Guy Diamond smiled and gently forced him to the couch, "Lay here for a moment, okay? Then we can continue this discussion, sound good?"

Branch nodded and layed down.

Guy Diamond hurried off and grabbed some medicine, along with a sleeping pill, and put them in a cup of water.

Once they disintegrated he walked back out to Branch and sat him up, "Alright, here we go, drink up!"

Branch hummed and took the cup, "Still no nap."

Guy Diamond smiled, "I'm sure you'll tire yourself out soon anyway.."

Branch nodded and finished the water, "You're silly, you remind me of CC.."

Before Guy Diamond could question it, Branch fell asleep.

He sighed and layed him down, making a mental note to ask about it later.

Maybe he should ask King Peppy?

Oh well, he can decide that later.
