When Branch was still grey & Creep-I mean Creek doesn't exist in this oneshot
Reminder: Changes some mistakes
Poppy was running through the forest as fast as she could, until she made it to the Troll Village. She took a while to try to catch her breath, then saw her friends, the Snack Pack.
Poppy: Guys!
DJ: Hey, Pops. You alright?
Cooper: Yea, you look like you just ran a marathon.
Poppy: Listen, if Branch asks if you've seen me around, say that you haven't. Ok?
Guy: Ok, but why?
Smidge: Not to mention, you seem flushed.
Poppy: Just tell him that you haven't seen me.
Satin: Ok.
Chenille: We won't.
Poppy: -sighs- Thanks.
Biggie: By the way, weren't you suppose to help King Peppy with his retirement pod?
Poppy: Oh my god, I forgot! Thanks for reminding me, Biggie.
As Poppy ran off to help her father, the Snack Pack were still wondering what was going on with her.
Guy: Honestly, that was kinda weird.
DJ: It really was.
Satin: I wonder what her deal is.
Chenille: Who knows?
?: What are you guys talking about?
The Snack Pack turned around & sees Branch.
Copper: Branch, what are you doing here, dude?
Branch: Have you guys seen Poppy?
Smidge: She's not here.
Biggie: Haven't see her.
Guy: We don't know where she is.
Branch: Alright. If you see her, tell her we need to talk.
DJ: Yea, sure.
Cooper: Did something happen between you two?
Branch: You could say that.
Snack Pack: ???
Later that night
Poppy was tossing & turning trying to fall asleep, but what happened today kept her from doing so.
Flashback; Branch's Bunker earlier today
Poppy: Branch, I don't get you.
Branch: What don't you get?
Poppy: Why don't you want to be happy?
Branch: Look Poppy, I have my reasons & I'm not telling.
Poppy: *thinks: God, he's stubborn...!* You could at least give me a hint.
Branch: Not gonna happen. Cause, you'll still be asking for more.
Poppy: Ok, that's a lie!
Branch: -glares-
Poppy: Ok, maybe not. But if you would just tell me, I would understand.
Branch: Yea, then you'll go tell everybody. Honestly, why do you keep coming to me?
Poppy: Because, I know there's happiness in you, you just need help finding it.
