Branch and Lake were in her place. Her home. She turned on the lights as Branch looked around, amazed. "Wow, you're home is... beautiful. Really.".

"Thanks. I think I have a few boxes over there..." Lake said and went to a closet and opened the door and grabbed a few boxes. She handed some to him as they started packing. As they pick up some boxes, they headed to each other's direction and accidentally bumped into each other. "Oh! Sorry...".

They said in unison and went the other way, but the other went the exact way the other was going. They chuckled as Branch took a step to the side. "Um... you first.".

"No, I insist" she said and took a step aside. Then Branch took another step aside and bowed. "No, I insist. Please."

Then Lake rolled her eyes and went first. Branch went to other way as they packed the boxes again. Branch turned around and saw Lake having a bit of a hard time, Branch put down the box and walked up to her. "Need help?".

"No thanks. I can handle this." She said and started to lose her balance. She accidentally nudged Branch a bit, she cleared her throat and blushed. "Sorry.".

"It's ok. Just let me help you" Branch grabbed the box out of her hands. Lake gasped and grabbed it again. "No thanks. Just let me do it.".

"You sure?" He asked and grabbed the box again from Lake. "I'm sure, now give it to me!".

Then they kept pulling the box from each other, suddenly, a picture frame fell off and shattered. Lake gasped and put the box down and kneeled to the picture frame of her family and herself. Branch kneeled down beside her and held her shoulder. "I'm sorry, I can fix it. If you would let me...".

Then Lake grabbed the picture from the frame and put it in the box. "No thanks Branch. I can just get... a different frame...".

Then Branch looked back at the shards of glass. He felt sorry. He had a plan. Then he grabbed a few boxes and headed out along with Lake as the tree was empty. "That's all. You ready?".

"Yup!" Lake said as they headed to Troll Tree. As the stopped in front of a green pod as Branch opened the door, stepped to the side, and let her in. As they put the boxes down, Lake sighed and lied on a couch. Without her looking, Branch grabbed the picture of her family and her and hid it in his hair, sneakily. "Guess you're tired, huh?".

"Yeah. Say, know anyone who makes drinks and smoothies?" Lake asked as a lightbulb shone over Branch's head. "Indeed I do. Biggie is good at baking and drinks. Shall we head there?".

"Perfect!" Lake giggled and followed Branch.

-Time Skip brought to you by Mr. Dinkles-

Branch arrived back in his pod, he put the picture on the table and observed it. He smiled and gently rubbed his thumb on Lake's cheek in the picture. Then he knew what to do. He stood up and stood in front of of a leaf-made telephone, the chord was a vine, and the buttons were flowers with numbers on. He went to reach it, but he backed away. Then he clenched his fists, then grabbed the telephone and entered the number to a certain someone's telephone number. "Poppy? Can you come over? I need some help.".
