Chapter 4 - The Silent River

Poppy's POV

"First, we need to go across the Silent River. Ooh silent!" I said as I was looking at the map.

"Um, Poppy? Do you think it's really silent?" Guy Diamond asked.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Look." He said and pointed at the river.

"Oh." I can't say anything after seeing the river. It's very wide, its waves are wild and big and giant rocks are ruling the waters. Who the heck just named this river as 'Silent'?!

"What are we gonna do now?" DJ Suki asked.

"We could step on those rocks." Cooper suggested.

"It's too dangerous, Cooper." Fuzzbert said.

"Hmm... Maybe we could swing to that tree using our hairs?" I said after seeing a very large tree almost at the other side of the river.

"But, it's not safe to swing this far. Because the waves are too wild and I'm sure they could reach us. We need to swing near the tree." Branch said. That's my man! He's so smart...

"Don't worry Poppy, we can do this! Okay, I'll go first." Creek said with confidence.

"Ooohh! He's so brave." Satin and Chenille said.

"What?! Do you think that Creek could make it to the other side?" Branch asked me and looked at Creek angrily.

"C'mon, Branch. Can you just add a little positivity?" Creek said.

"I am being positive because I'm not gray anymore. And am I even talking to you?!" Branch answered.

"Branch... He's right. And he was just trying to help us go across this river. Okay?" I said. Branch just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

Creek started to run. He jumped so high and reached the tree using his hair.

But he failed.

Branch's POV

"AAAHHHHHH!!!!" Creek shouted after he fell to the waters and was drowning. Heh. He thinks that he can do it. But he can't.

"Oh no!!" Poppy shouted and was scared for Creek. And I was just laughing. But the bad thing is...

"Ehem? Branch?" She said.

I stopped laughing and asked, "What?"

"Save him!" What?! Ugh.

"Ugh fine!" I dived into the water and started to swim.

Poppy's POV

"Whoa. I didn't know Branch was a great swimmer." I watched as Branch was swimming until he reaches Creek. He was just so cute I could stare at him all day.

"Creek! Reach for my hair." Branch shouted and reached for Creek's hair using his.

"Ride on my back." Creek followed what Branch said. And that made it harder for Branch to swim.

They went out of the water using Branch's hair.

Oh my gosh. Branch looked so hot that time. And he was carrying Creek! Well that's the part I don't like. Oh nevermind about all what I've said!

Branch's POV

That was exhausting! I didn't knew Creek was so heavy!

"Whoa, Branch. You were awesome right there!" DJ Suki cheered.

"Yeah you were great!" GD added with an auto-tuned voice.

Everyone was cheering for me. Well, I just saw Poppy smiling, and that made me smile too.
