What Am I?

chapter 3: I missed you!!!!

When Branch saw it, his eyes were wide with shock. All he can say was, "OH MY GOSH!!!!"

Branch couldn't move, but he felt tears forming in his eyes. He couldn't stop them from coming because King Peppy's present was too amazing (but not as amazing as Jesus's great gift of washing away our sins). He felt his heart race up to a million beats per second. This doesn't even feel real.

But it was. It was 100% real. Part of the present inched closer and closer to Branch until it stood face to face. A hand landed on his shoulder and the other hand on the side of his neck.

He could barely got the word out. His voice cracked as he said it. "M-mom?"
Before his mom could say anything, he pulled her into a hug and cried on her shoulder. He felt tears wet his shoulder, but he didn't care. All he cared about was that God allowed him to hug his mother once again. He hasn't felt this loving hug ever since he was 2. Branch looked up to see his father standing there, tears falling on his face.

The other trolls finally understood what was happening. King Peppy's great present was...BRANCH'S PARENTS!!!!!! Poppy wanted to scream with joy, but knew that that would ruin the moment. A little bit of tears formed in her eyes. She was so happy for Branch. He was reunited with his parents. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

Branch's father stroke his son's hair and kissed the top of his head. Then his dad put one arm around his wife and the other around his son. He looked up and mouthed the words, "Thank You, Lord."

But the present wasn't just his parents. There was someone else. Someone else that he thought he lost when he was 4 years old. He looked up and smiled. Standing there before him was none other than GRANDMA ROSIEPUFF!!!! She wrapped her arms around the three of them and became part of the family hug.

Poppy couldn't contain herself. To control herself, she took out her scrapbook and cut pieces of paper and shaped them into the beautiful moment she just saw before her very eyes. This story may even top their adventure together. Branch looked so happy.

Bridget smiled. She has never seen anything so beautiful in her life. Never in her life has she seen a beautiful family reunion. King Gristle seemed to be enjoying it too, barely containing himself like Poppy.

Poppy walked up to her dad. "How on earth did you find them? Branch told me-"

"I know, Poppy," King Peppy said, "It turns out they weren't gone. Somehow they escaped from Chef's grip and just got lost. I found them when I went back to get our stuff from the village. When I told them their son was with us, we just came here quickly."

"Oh, Dad. You made him so happy." Poppy leaned her head against her dad's shoulder and continued watching Branch and his family.

Branch continued to sob with happiness. "I MISSED YOU!!!!"
