Branch X Reader

Bergen Town

The four eyes open and look down at a cocooned you and Poppy, The other spiders climb down to you and Poppy, about to eat you, Branch's hair expands to grab you and Poppy away from the spiders. He glares at the spiders as they turn their attention to him. He takes a pan out of his camping bag and throws it at the spiders, but it didn't work. He gasps as the spiders ran toward him. He takes off his camping bag and expands his hair, whipping it at the spiders. The spiders back themselves to a wall and get eaten by a monster. The monster looks down at Branch. He gasps, but the monster falls back to sleep. He sighs and turns to you and Poppy. "Oh, no! Poppy?  Y/N?" He goes to you and Poppy and listens for a heartbeat. "Hang on!" He gets a stick from a tree and a pair of bugs from the tree. He rips the web apart, rubs the bugs together, and puts them on Poppy's chest. Then does the same to you. You and Poppy's hearts start beating again. He checks to see if your okay. Suddenly, you and Poppy spring back up. "Get back up again!" Poppy said. She sees Branch. "Branch, our man! You are right on time." She said. "Oh, right. Like you knew I was coming." Branch said. He puts the bugs down and puts on his camping bag

"Yes! We figured after the third Hug Time, getting eaten by a Bergen wouldn't seem so bad." You said. "And I figured there was no way you two could do this by yourselves. Guess we were all right." Branch said. "Hmm. All right. Let's do this! Sooner we get to Bergen Town, sooner we can rescue everybody, and make it home safely." Poppy said. You, Poppy and Branch walk into the forest. "Wait, wait, wait. What's your plan?" Branch asked. "She just told you. To rescue everyone and make it home safely." You said. "Okay. That's not a plan. That's a wish list." Branch said. "Oh! I suppose you have a plan." Poppy said. Branch cleared his throat. "First... We get to the edge of Bergen Town without being spotted. Then, we get inside by sneaking through the old escape tunnels. Which will then lead us to the Troll Tree, right before we get caught, and suffer the miserable death at the hands of a horrible, bloodthirsty Bergen!" Branch said. "Hold on a second, are you scrapbooking my plan?" Branch asked. "Uh-huh, yeah. Almost..." you use the scissors to cut the paper, then pop up. "Done!" You said. The scrapbook opens with a scrapbook version of you, Poppy, Branch, and the Snack Pack. The words open up, reading "We Did It!" Glitter splats on Branch's face. "There will be no more..." Branch blows glitter out of his nose. "Scrapbooking." He said.

You, Poppy and Branch are walking on a fallen log. You and Poppy hum. "Do you two have to sing?" Branch asked. "We always sing when we're in a good mood." Poppy said. "Do you have to be in a good mood?" Branch asked. "Why wouldn't we be? By this time tomorrow, we'll be with all our friends! Ooh, I wonder what they're doing right now." You said. "Probably being digested." Branch said. "They're alive, Branch. We know it!" Poppy said. "You two don't know anything, Poppy. And I can't wait to see the looks on your faces when you both realize the world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows. 'Cause it isn't. Bad things happen, and there's nothing you can do about it." Branch said. He walks off, but you and Poppy runs to catch up to him. "Hey, we know it's not all cupcakes and rainbows. But, we'd rather go through life thinking that it mostly is instead of being like you. You don't sing, you don't dance. So gray all the time! What happened to you?" You asked. "Shh!" Branch said. He uses his finger to cover your mouth. "A Bergen?" You asked. "Maybe." Branch said. He walks off. You look around, but there's no Bergen. "There's no Bergen, is there? You just said that so I'd stop talking." You said. "Maybe." Branch said. At night, you. Poppy and Branch are in the forest. Poppy is in her leaf sack, you are in your leaf sack as well, and Branch has a blanket and a mattress. Poppy looks at the picture of Creek.

She sighs and puts the picture on the side. She expands the pictures of Satin and Chenille, Fuzzbert, Smidge, Guy Diamond, Biggie, and DJ Suki on top. Finally, it expands to a tall picture of Cooper. "So special. Goodnight, Cooper. Goodnight, Smidge. Goodnight Fuzzbert. Goodnight, Satin. Goodnight, Chenille. Goodnight, Biggie. Goodnight, DJ. Goodnight, Guy Diamond. She snickered. "Goodnight, Creek. She taps the picture. "Boop."  "And good night, Poppy." Branch said. You look up to the stars. Yours and Poppy's Hug Time bracelets chime. You get up and turn to Branch. "Don't even think about it." He said. Poppy mocked Branch, then the two of you hugged each other. You look at the stars.
