Branch swung through the trees and onto a nearby...Branch, he surveyed the area for any signs of the Rock Trolls. He found a small tuft of black hair on one of the leaves and sniffed it, "Sweat and Cologne...Rock trolls for sure..." he said to himself, following the scent. As he swung on the branches, he turned his head and began to imagine seeing Poppy swinging right beside him, her laughing as she happily followed him, "Race you to the end!" she called out.

"You're on!" Branch called back as they swung, Poppy darted far ahead of him, Branch laughed as he tried to catch up, unaware of his surroundings. BAM! Branch slammed himself into the Trunk of a tree, he groaned as he fell onto the forest floor. "God, okay pull yourself together Branch, you're not gonna save her if you keep daydreaming like this..." Branch said to himself as he got up and flicked his hair onto another...branch, he sighed as he swung again. He began to think about Poppy again, her face, her hair, her laugh...her smile...everything about her...it made him so happy...but he shook himself back to reality, this was no time to be dreaming.

Branch looked down, was he really gonna do this? Oh, why the gel not? He hummed a tune and soon, he began to sing.

(Branch)

I can almost see it

That dream I'm dreaming but

There's a voice inside my head saying

You'll never reach it,

Every step I'm taking,

Every move I make feels

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking but I

Gotta keep trying

Gotta keep my head held hig-AAH!

Branch lost his grip on one of the branches and began to fall to the ground until he felt something pull him back up. Once he regained his bearings, he looked up and Saw Delta standing on the Branch beside him, her hands on her hips, with a proud smile on her face. "Delta? What are you doing here?" Branch asked, Delta chuckled, "I saw you run off into the forest, and I figured you could use an extra hand" she explained. Branch sighed and smiled, as Delta took his hands and sung. 

(Delta)

There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's The Climb!

"Now, Let's go save your friend!" Delta smiled as she and Branch swung off into the trees. They soon reached a clearing where they saw a few Rock Trolls setting up camp, there was a massive fire pit in the center of their site and dangling above it was a cage that had Poppy in it. "There she is!" Branch whisper-yelled, Delta looked around and surveyed the area, she saw a vine that led up to her cage, "We can try and reach her cage from there" Delta whispered back to Branch, pointing to the vine, Branch looked up and nodded, "Alright, I'll see if I can find a way up there, you keep an eye out for me, k?" he said, Delta nodded in response and kept guard whilst Branch ran off into the brush.
