(This story doesn't really focus on poppy and branch, but it focuses on branch and molly and NO I am not shipping them I would never break the broppy ship)

(takes place during the campfire scene in the first movie)

(and also molly is known as a pega-human in the first movie so she doesn't have a horn...YET, also molly isn't much of a talker and just barks and meows sometimes 'cause she partially has personality traits of a dog and a cat)

Branch: and goodnight girls

*poppy laid in her sleeping bag, looking at the stars and sighed while molly laid at her feet*

Molly had been feeling a bit down lately since she couldn't do anything to help poppy's friends

Poppy (quietly): don't worry molly the sooner we find our friends, the sooner we can go home 'kay?

Molly: *nods slowly, snuggling into her mama's arms*

Poppy (softly): 'night molly...sweet dreams

*molly let out a quiet yawn and fell asleep*

*a little later at night, Footsteps were heard making branch wake up*

Branch: Huh? what was-

*branch turns to poppy only to see molly gone*

Branch: where did she?-

*poppy woke up not seeing molly anywhere*

Poppy: branch? where's molly?

Branch: O_O

Branch (thinking): uh oh she's onto me!

Branch (stuttering in nervousness while starting to sweat nervously): uh she uh went on a night patrol to make sure you didn't get hurt?

Poppy: Oooookay?

*poppy went back to sleep making branch sigh in relief*

*branch laid in his sleeping bag but he couldn't sleep considering that her daughter was missing and was probably in trouble*

*branch sighed and got up and went into the woods to find molly*

Branch (quietly): kid?

Branch (quietly): kid!

Branch: *hears faint sobbing*

*branch then sees a feathery ball that was shaking uncontrollably*

Branch: hey molly? is that you? I know you're hiding in there, come out

*Molly peeked out and let out a sad whimper*

Branch: kid, is there something wrong?...

*molly covers herself and lets out a growl*

Branch: kid, come on don't give me that attitude...

Molly: go away...

Branch: kid...*sighs*

Branch: what can I do to make you come out?

Molly: ...

Branch:...okay kid, stay here I got an idea...

*branch tip-toes slowly not wanting to wake up poppy and he stealthily takes her guitar and walks back to molly*

*branch then sits next to molly and...*

Branch: *starts to play the guitar and starts to sing softly*

Branch: I was never the one to write up a song for anyone I

Branch: I was always the one to find Myself lost in long conversations, though

Branch: 'Cause I've always been told that Things will unfold if you keep on waiting

Branch: But then you came along and proved me all wrong, I was so mistaken

*molly slowly started to come out of her hiding spot*

Branch: 'Cause you glue all the pieces back together

Branch: Yeah you, you take all my wrongs and make 'em better

Branch: Yeah you, you're making me wanna try forever

Branch: I feel so free

Branch: oh, my sweet baby...

*molly smiled softly and walked towards him slowly*

Branch: I was never the one to give up the ghost, no, I was so stuck I

Branch: kept on playing my part Wanting to give up 'cause nothing was changing

Branch: But with you, it's so clear and now that You're here, I see colours in every spectrum

Branch: Guess I finally learned my lesson

*molly smiled happily*

Branch: 'Cause you glue all the pieces back together

Branch: Yeah you, you take all my wrongs and make 'em better

Branch: Yeah you, you're making me wanna try forever

Branch: I feel so free

Branch: oh, my sweet baby...

*molly's eyes sparkled and nuzzled branch and slowly climbed on his lap*

Branch: And I think to myself

Branch: and I'm thinking out loud

Branch: we won't need nothing else

Branch: For the rest of our time

Branch: and I know it so well

Branch: I will always be by your side

*molly then laid in his lap asleep like an angel*

Branch: 'Cause you glue all the pieces back together

Branch: Yeah you, you take all my wrongs and make 'em better

Branch: Yeah you, you're making me wanna try forever

Branch: I feel so free

Branch: oh, my sweet baby... (x2)

*when branch finished playing the guitar he saw molly lying asleep on his lap*

Branch: alright kid let's take you back to your mama

*branch picks up molly and he slowly walks back to the fireplace*

*When they got to the campsite branch put molly right next to poppy making her snuggle her*

Branch (quietly): G'night kid...

*branch laid back in his sleeping bag and fell asleep*
