I have a headache.

He opened his eyes, the strong light dazzled him and he raised his hand to hide his eyes but something stopped him: someone held his hand. He groped weakly at the cold fingers of the person who was with him? where was he? He was too weak to get up, he turned his head and a terrible pain pierced his ear like a stab. he groaned in pain.

Poppy jumped at Branch's moan and raised her head. The troll frowned at seeing her, still a little sleepy.

-Poppy? ... he murmured hoarsely.

The princess's eyes fill with tears and she laughs with relief. Branch continued to fix her without understanding where he was, Poppy laughed even more in front of the confused face of her best friend.

- It's me, do not worry, we'll take you to the hospital.

-Hospital? ... What's going on? ...

He felt the headache coming back to him, he closed his eyes for a moment and he felt Poppy's hand tighten his. He was too weak to get away from it so he let it.

-The dragon, he attack you, right?

His heart began to panic and he shivered with terror. he was the dragon and he had almost died. Poppy thought he was attacked? Why?

- Did he do that to you? continued the pink troll, pointing at his ear.

Branch nodded and added:

-It attack me because ... uh ... I scared him ...

 It was better than telling him the truth. Poppy explained that they had found him unconscious in the forest, his ear shredding. He was so exhausted that he had trouble finding meaning in what she was saying. The pink troll cried with relief and was troubling him even more.

-My ear?

Then he became aware of the terrible pain felt earlier. He tried to take his right ear in his free hand (the one that did not hold Poppy's hand), but his arm just fell into his hair and raveled him. The princess laughed and replaced the black locks in disorder. Branch shivered once more; normally only trolls who were very close were doing this. the hair of a troll was their only defense. When another troll touched another's hair, he was vulnerable and helpless. But he was too weak and Poppy was only relieved to find him alive, he looked at her sleepily as she ran her fingers through his black hair, careful not to snatch a single one by accident.

-It's better, right? she said, smiling at him, Ta-Da!

Branch continued to fix her with the same confused air as before.

-I said, Ta-Da! insisted the pink troll

-Yes, and what do you want me to answer? Tu-Du? growled the gray troll

Poppy laughs. Branch was never confused and she found it really funny. What shocked her the most was that he did not seem to mind that he had been attacked by the NightFury

The ambulance stopped abruptly and Branch groaned as he closed his eyes, my head!

-Ta-da! we're at destination! exclaimed Poppy. Branch knew she was teasing him

-Tu-Du, Branch murmured, Poppy smiled even more, but pretended she had not heard him.

Two paramedics pulled the rolling bed out of the ambulance, a troll was beginning to ask him questions, but he sank into the sleep of those he lost sight of Poppy.

* * *

When Branch opened his eyes, he was inside the hospital. He sighed, noting that Poppy was still in front of him. he wore a shirt and only his underpants.

- They made stitches on your ear and you have to keep the bandage for at least a day, said Poppy when she noticed that he was waking up, your clothes were covered with mud so they decided to wash.

Branch groaned and passed the blanket over his head, letting his feet appear at the other end of the bed. He was awake now and he did not need anyone to help him. Anyone.

"Go away," he murmured, hiding his feet under the blanket.

-Uh ... Hi?

-Goodbye.

He heard Poppy sigh. As he had a bandage on one of his ears, he only heard from the only side left, weird

-In any case ... hold, I made you this while you slept.

She put something on the table next to him and out of the room. When he was sure she was gone, he got up and grabbed what she had left him; an invitation card

-The wedding of Mr.Dinkles? Biggie is desperate with this worm ...

He drove the image of a certain remonte controller out of his mind and went back to bed keeping the invitation in his hands. As soon as he was given his clothes back, he would go home and take care of his son.

In fact, I'm worse than Biggie ... he thought, beating his head with the palm of his hand.

He was sleeping in a weird way for a troll, it was more like a cat rolling in a ball but he did not care. He could sleep like that.

In the village, Poppy was trying to ignore the trolls who were discussing the disaster. The gray troll is attacked

But Branch said he scared him... the dragon wanted to defend himself, right? Poppy didn't know what to think anymore. Was the NightFury harmless or was it a wild beast?

She had to make sure, tomorrow after Mr.Dinkles' wedding party, she would go out looking for him. She could not help but think of the icy blue eyes of the black-scaled dragon.

He was not crazy, he was scared!

GUYS.

READ THIS BOOK!!!!

translation:

- Ta-Da! she exclaimed

Branch should be impressed. It's not an acrobatics so easy to achieve! But he just raises an eyebrow and throws one of his special looks, one of those who seem to say, "You-are-completely-crazy."

I thought it was funny!

Translation:

She would have needed him now (Branch). Not because she forced to find a solution alone , but because she likes to be with him. It's weird, no?

Me: No, it's not weird Poppy !! IT'S BROPPY!

I would not do translation but .... HE SPEAKS ABOUT TRUE COLORS, AAAAHHH.

Translation:

Despite herself, Poppy smiled through her tears. Branch is sometimes infuriating, but he has good intentions.

- It's not the organization that's causing me problems, she explains. Whether I choose the first or the second idea, it will be an exceptional party! But imagine the sadness of Harper or GD ... It's too hard. Do you understand what I mean?

Branch shrugs.

-Not really, but it's also for that I lo... that I appreciate you, he adds awkwardly. You always have a sensitive rating and you want to make everyone happy

😐

But why did not you tell you loved her? SH*T!

😍😍😍 Translation:

- Better, said Branch, getting up. So ... would you like to give me this dance?

He reaches out to her, but suddenly King Peppy pops up between them

- It's been a long time since I had so much fun! Poppy, would not you refuse me a dance?

And in short, no broppy dance XD
