And before you ask who Micaela is its Branches mom lol

Ok Poppys 7 its Branches birthday and he turned 10 hes grey but happy because i like grey brancho :)

~♡

Poppy sat on the curb in front of a small house. Cuts and bruises covered her body, she didnt want to go home and her father see this. Suddenly she was picked up and thrown onto the lawn.

"Hey cry baby." A boy, much taller than Poppy and probably older, towered over the girl. He picked her up and pinned her to the front door of the house. She silently cried hoping no one would hear. the boy pushed on Poppy harder and harder until the door broke and fell back.
T

he bully ran away in fear he'd be caught, just leaving Poppy lying in someones house. Poppy groaned and opened her eyes to she two blue ones looking at her, there was a grey troll wearing a birthday hat. He looked at her with worry and shock before he called out.

"MOM!" He shrieked running towards the kitchen where his mother stood. Hearing this she shot up but pain got to her. His friends sat next to her telling her she was ok.

Branches mom came rushing into the room to pick her up. They put her on the dining room table as Micaela cleaned up her cuts and bandaged them.

"Let me call your dad, Princess." Micaela said picking up her phone before Poppy shook her head a 'no' she didn't want to go home. Like ever. she wanted to run away from home not run towards it.
Branches mother put the phone down on the table and looked at Poppy.
"Whats wrong dear?" She asked placing a hand on her cheek.

"I don't wanna go home yet." She whispered so quietly Micaela had to strain to hear her.
"I-I'll just go for a walk and go home when I'm ready." Poppy stood upfrom the table about to leave when Branch stopped her.

"Why don't you stay for a bit?" A large smile plastered across her face.

"Sure!"

The kids ran off to Branches room as Micaela cleaned up the mess.
An hour or two later the kids came out their hair mess probably from wrestling.
"Hey mom, we're going outside!" Branch called out before grabbing a jacket.

"Alright, be careful!" She yelled back. Branch then noticed that Poppy didn't didn't have a jacket, he handed his jacket over to Poppy, who smiled shyly and took it.
Branch slipped on his mothers jacket and the two ran outside.

The kids swung from the trees as they giggled. Poppy and Branch decided to have a race. Swinging from the trees, they had to go all the way down to the tire swing, whoever made it there first won!

"On your mark. get set. GO!" A silver glitter troll named Guy signaled for the two trolls to go.
They swung from branch to branch.
Branch, being the first to the tire swing, he landed on the ground and struck a pose. His hands in the air and eyes closed. That's when Poppy lost her balance and fell from a tree branch right into Branches arms.

Both young trolls blushed and smiled as Poppy hopped out of Branches arms.
Branch looked over to his friends all giving him kissy faces, Branch stuck his tongue out at them, as Poppy stood awkwardly looking at her feet.
Branch thought about their next activity before coming up with an idea.

"Why don't we go to the... cave of fun..." Branch smiled widely saying the last part dramatically.

"What's the 'cave of fun'?" Poppy asked.

"Come on princess I'll show you!" Branch grabbed her hand and dragged her to a cardboard box with a hole in it. The group went through it which turned into a slide leading them into part on the woods, trees surrounding them.

"Oh, so it was a slide?" Poppy tilted her head in confusion.

"That wasn't it silly!" Branch led her to a tree with an opening that had a ladder inside of it. They went down the ladder to a place thst was filled with lots of cardboard and drawings. Fake lava on the floor, rocks to jump on to get across the 'lava' and so much more.

"Lets go!" They started jumping from rock to rock when someone slipped into the 'lava' pretending to melt, the troll stood up and went down a slide, which probably meant they were out.

They continued through the place, losing a troll with every obstacle they encountered.
Soon it was only Poppy and Branch, they had to find the clues to save the chicken from its doom.
They found clues eventually making it to another house, that was kinda trashed. They went through boxes as if they were vents. They came to a hole in the box where banch stuck his head out hanging upside down. Apparently they were on the ceiling.

"Hi dad!" He waved a man how had blue skin and purple hair, he looked as if he hadn't been outside in weeks nor had slept in a few days.
He glared at the boy then shoved him back into the cardboard vent closing up the hole. Branch could have sworn he heard him mumbled something like

'I gotta tear that thing down'

Branch just shrugged it off and they kept crawling through the vent until they made it to a chicken coop. They were in the box on the ceiling still.

"Do you think you can reach a chicken if i hold you?" Branch asked.

"Only one way to find out!" Poppy bent down out of the hole in the box to reach the chicken as Branch held onto her feet.
"I got it!" She stated before Branch pulled her up back into the cardboard vent and the continued crawling until they came to another slide.
They slid down until they arived back at Branches house, with Branches friends sitting under a tree chatting.

Branch took the chicken from Poppy and tossed it up in the air.
"Be free birdy!"
Only for it to land back on the ground.

"Huh I thought chickens could fly."

Branch shrugged and did some cartwheels towards his friends. Poppy was about to join them when she heard her and Branches names being called by Micaela. They skipped over to her as Micaela held her phone in her hand.

"How about a sleep over tonight you two?" A large smile came upon their faces

"YES!" They said together. Poppy thanked Branched mother before they made their away to the group of friends.

A few hours had pasted, all of Branches friends had left to their homes, as Poppy and Branch sat in the living room playing a board game he had gotten that day.
Peppy had come over with some of Poppys cloths, and stuffed bear.
Micaela had set up sleeping bags in the living room so the two kids could watch a movie before bed.

As the kids watched Spiderman Poppy fell asleep on Branches shoulder while Branch rested his head on hers as he fell asleep as well.

Branch woke up to the sound of fighting. Branch looked out the window, it was dark but the porch light was on. Both his mom and dad stood on the porch yelling at eachother.
Honestly Branches dad hadn't been over to their house in two years.

"ENOUGH!"
Branches mother yelled waking Poppy for her sleep.
Poppy saw Branch staring out the window. Poppy wondered what he was doing but then she heard yelling coming back from outside.
"Branch is a good kid and he deserves to have a place to play!" Micaela through her hands in the air.
"You can't tear it down!"

"I-its not safe! Someone can get hurt with that thing!" Branches dad made up an excuse right there on the spot.

"You didn't even come to see Branch yesterday, and down your 'concerned' about his safety? I wouldn't have helped build it if it wasn't safe for anyone in or outside of it!"

"Well its inside of my house. And it needs to be taken down!" Branches dad turned away and walked off before he turned to face Micaela again.
"And I never want to see that brat again."

Micaelas blood boiled at her ex's last words before leaving.
Branch sank down into the couch, as Poppy watched she sat next to him comforting the boy.
Micaela came into the house noticing Poppy hugging the poor boy, assuming he heard she looked down ashamed and left to her room. As much as she wanted to help him she felt like to much of a failure to confront Branch.

Branch softly cried as Poppy hugged him rubbing his back.
All Branch wanted was a happy family with both his parents, and his dad just said he never wanted to see him again.
Branch could live without the cave. maybe. but his own father just admitted he hated him.

"Its gonna be ok. I promise." Poppy whispered.

•○♡

Its been exactly eight years since Branches birthday where he met Poppy. His dad tore down the 'cave of fun' and him and his mom moved. But Poppy and Branch had been best friends ever since that day.

It was Branches eighteenth birthday and he was going to spend the whole day with Poppy. Even if he didn't want to Poppy would force him to come. Luckily thats all he wanted to do, hang out with Poppy.

Poppy said she had something planed but she won't spill the frickin beans.
She led him to a certain spot in the woods before stoping.

"Hold on, close your eyes." She said. Branch obeyed Poppy and closed his eyes, Poppy waved her hand on front of him making sure he couldnt see.
She dragged Branch someplace else in the woods before having him open his eyes again.

"Its a cave?" Branch laughed.

"Not just a cave silly come on!" She pulled him into the cave, where there was a hang out room. Bean bags, book shelves, a TV and a mini fridge and picture of them hung on the walls.
Of course that wasn't all though! They went down a slide that led to another place thst looked almost like the cave of fun but cooler!

The two went through the course, branch noticing the things Poppy added. Like nerf guns and each of them got limited bullets.
They had reached the end but only one part was left.

"Shoot the target!" Branch said to Poppy as he ran out of bullets way before she did.
Poppy shot her last bullet completely missing the target.
Branch imitated an explosion pretending to be blown back by it, before he looked at Poppy.

"Were you even aiming for the target?" He said as he tickled Poppys sides. Poppy fell to the ground laughing as Branch stopped.
"Well dang it Poppy, now the chickens roasted."

Branch pulled out a roasted chicken from his hair sitting next to her as they ate the chicken.
Branch stopped eating for a moment, staring at Poppy. He knew it was rude to stare but he couldn't help it. She was gorgeous

Poppy looked up to realize Branch was watching her. She blushed and smiled a bit as Branch smiled and laughed then poked her cheek.

"Are you getting embarrassed?" He tickled her again.

"N-NO!!" She laughed falling on her back. "S-STOP IT!!!"

"Never!"

Poppy grabbed Branches forearms and made them roll over a few times, Branch landing on top of Poppy.

"You can't escape me!"
Then they stopped for a moment, getting lost in eachothers eyes. Slowly leaning forwards their lips connected. They pulled away looking in eachothers eyes once again.
Poppy grabbed the sides of his head nuzzled his nose.

"Mmm I love you..." Brancn confessed pressing his forhead against Poppys.

"I love you too." Poppy smiled and placed a soft short kiss on Branches lips.

Suddenly a loud noise came from above them they both looked up to see a chicken with a jetpack.
Then hearing a screech.

"MY CHICKEN!!"

"Huh I guess chickens can fly-"

WOO YEAH IM NOT DEAD!!!

The point of this was to prove CHICKENS CAN FLY STOP RUINING THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS OK?!

Lol yeah I told you it was bad

Well mwah precious bye!💙
