GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY🎂 💗

Part 5 - Sickness 💔

"Barb, no!"

"I'm sorry, popsqueak, but I'm gonna have to turn you into a rock zombie"

"Poppy!"

"Branch,no!"

*Branch gets hit with barb's guitar trying to save poppy*

"Noooo!"

King Peppy, on the other end, cried:-"Poppy,help me!"as Chef bergen,captured him.

"No, Dad!"

All her friends(smidge, guy, biggie, satin, chenille, fuzzbert,dj) cried as other bergens captured them too.

"No, no, *NOOO*!"

Poppy sat up in bed,screaming. It was a nightmare,after all, and a bad one.

Her head swirled and she was sweating all over. Her breathing was irregular and her headache had come back worse than ever.

She held her head in her hands,almost fainting with exhaustion.
"Poppy?"

She looked at branch who was sitting up, looking at her concerned.

"I'm sorry branch, did I wake you?"-she muttered out,her headache making it feel she had a load of bricks attacking on her head when she tried to speak.

"Nonsense,what happened?"

He held her hand and when he touched it,figured out the problem.

"Poppy, you're burning up!", branch's voice was filled with panic and worry.
Jumping off the bed,he opened a drawer and pulled out a thermometer and checked her temperature.
*105°C*(221°F-idk)

Branch froze, and trying to speak,he said:-"We-we gotta get you to a hospital this instant"

Branch lifted her off the bed and tried to stand her up,but poppy's legs buckled down.

"Branch, I feel...."

"It's okay, princess, we just gotta--"

His arms felt heavy suddenly and he looked down to see poppy had fainted in his arms.

"Oh no *poppy*" -he let out a slow curse.

Kicking himself, he threw a sweater over her shivering body and scooped poppy up in his arms and ran all the way to the elevator and kicked the handle to make it go up. Before going up,he glanced at the clock :- *6am*

Hopefully, the hospital had gotta be open by now.

As soon as he stepped on the grass,he started running faster than he had ever before. He passed by poppy's pod,which was as empty as ever,but he didn't even glance at it. There were a few trolls up that morning,and they whispered and glanced at branch carrying poppy,running to where seemed to be in the direction of the hospital.

As soon as he reached there, he called out loudly, "Please,is anyone there?Poppy needs a doctor!please!"

A voice called from behind him:-"hi"

Branch was startled :- "Aah-oh it's you"

Keith stared at him,with a puzzled face.

"Keith, please, I need a doctor, queen poppy is sick"

A voice called out from the shadows:-"Stand back! I am a doctor!"

Dr. Moonbloom stepped out and made her way towards poppy.

Branch exclaimed:-"oh thank goodness, dr. Moonbloom, poppy she-she has a bad fever"

Dr. Moonbloom checked her temperature and said :- "hm,it's quite bad,but nothing a few antibiotics can't fix"
