Lake was around Troll Tree, just relaxing and smelling the fresh air. She sighed and saw a blue flower beside her on the ground. She smiled and about to pick it up, but she paused. She ignored the flower and sit back. She didn't want the flower to wilt from her hands. Then she stood up and walked around. She saw bergens now hugging and singing small tunes. She smiled and saw kids playing together. Lake knew today was gonna be a great day, suddenly she heard yelling and turned around and saw Cooper and Smidge yelling at each other with the rest of the Snack Pack, Branch and Poppy watching. Lake walked in and stood beside Branch. "Whats wrong?".

"Cooper and Smidge were arguing about who gets to plan the next outing. And the Snack Pack haven't figured out who, and it all ended when it became between these two. Can you believe it?" Branch added a bit sarcastically as Lake smiled and went between Cooper and Smidge. "Guys, guys, how about we talk in a low voice? Branch, talk with Smidge, I'll have a talk with Cooper.".

Branch nodded and sat beside Branch as they made Cooper and Smidge face away from each other. Lake leaned on her arm and asked Cooper. "What is your ideal outing for later?".

"I wanted an awesome outing when Smidge wanted it to be a boring visit to the workout center." He answered as Branch from the other side nodded at Smidge's remark. "I see...".

Then Lake and Branch reunited as Lake smiled as crossed her arms. "I actually think these two won't get along together for the day...".

"You're right. But I think Smidge's idea is better. You know, to help us get ready for anything." Branch shrugged his shoulders as Lake paused. She turned to Branch and crossed her arms. "Wait, wait, wait, you want Smidge's idea? I actually think Cooper's is fun! Don't you think?".

"What?! No! Why would you agree on that?!" He said as they glared at each other. Lake stomped her foot and poked his chest. "Because everyone should have a fun time! Not... some boring workouts!".

"Excuse me? Being strong and prepared isn't boring!" Branch started yelling and catching the Snack Pack's attention. Lake was starting to get more mad. "That's not even an outing! It's not fun!".

"Maybe you're not fun!" Branch yelled back as she poked his chest again. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Boring!".

"I may be boring, but I'm only thinking what's good for everybody! What's good for you!" Branch yelled as she rolled her eyes. "You're not doing what's good for me! You never had! Because I watched over myself 24/7!".

"Then you don't need my help!" Branch yelled and poked her shoulder. She quickly pushed his hand away and yelled. "Of course! Because I'm alright by myself! I'm alright without you!".

"Then I wish we didn't even met! We shouldn't have met that day as kids! You shouldn't have been gone with everybody else, including your parents!" He yelled as Lake paused. The Snack Pack and Poppy gasped. Lake's eyes became full of tears, but she still had a mad frown. "Fine. Then I'll just... leave. Have fun at the outing...".

Lake then slowly backed away, and then ran while crying and sobbing. Branch's expression softened as he watched her leave. The Snack Pack and Poppy glared at him as Branch shrugged and asked. "What?".

"You hurt her feelings." DJ Suki said as Branch shook his head and crossed his arms. "Well, she said bad things about me!".

"And you can handle it. But she can't. Lake, wait!" DJ Suki said and about to run after her, but Guy Diamond grabbed her shoulder and shook his head. Branch looked at the direction Lake went, then he sighed and looked at them. "I messed up, didn't I?".
