Trolls: Broppy One Shots

I'll Be There To Catch You

Poppy looked through her map, then at the hiking trail she and Branch were on.

Poppy: Branch, hurry up!

However, Branch was falling behind...carrying both his and Poppy's backpack.

Branch: Poppy...I don't think I can go on...you have to continue without me...!

Poppy: Suck it up!

Branch: What?! Can't you...carry your own backpack?!

Poppy: Can't, my hands are full!

But Poppy was only carrying the map and her phone.

Branch: But...!

Poppy: Shhhh, don't harsh my vibes!

Branch groaned and collapsed to the ground, the two backpacks crushing him. Poppy put her earbuds on and started listening to her tunes.

🎶Hey!
I'm not giving up today
There's nothing getting in my way
And if you knock knock me over
I will get back up again, oh
If something goes a little wrong
Well you can go ahead and bring it on
'Cause if you knock knock me over, I will get back up again 🎶

Branch: I hate that song...

Poppy: I think this is the spot.

Branch finally caught up with Poppy at the top of the mountain. At this point, he was practically on all fours.

Branch: Can we make a pit stop, Poppy...?!

Poppy: No need, we're here, Branch.

Branch let out an long sigh and dropped both backpacks.

Poppy: Hey, easy! My hair accessories are in there!

Branch: Poppy...

Poppy: What?

Branch: You're gonna have to set up the campsite...my legs gave up on me and they refuse to move again.

Poppy: ...You're a wuss, Branch.

Poppy took the tents out and started setting them up, hammering the nails into the ground.

Branch: No...!

Poppy: What?

Branch: You didn't put up the tarp!

Poppy gave Branch the bombastic side eye.

Poppy: It's a clear sky, Branch, besides, we can use the tarp as a blanket.

Branch: You can never be too careful, Poppy...!

Poppy: ...Okay, Branch, if you're so smart, why don't you come work on the tents! I thought you were a survivalist!

Branch: I am, Poppy!

Poppy: Then I guess you're not really laying on the ground like a lazy mountain lion!

That did it for Branch.

Branch: Lazy?! I'll show you, Poppy, I'm not lazy!

Branch took over and started setting up the tents. Poppy smirked when she saw him hard at work.

Poppy: I stand corrected.

Branch: Poppy, make yourself useful and go find firewood.

Poppy: I don't know, Branch...that feels like a you job, y'know?

Branch glared at Poppy and she immediately stopped talking.

Poppy: Right...getting the wood, I can do that.
