Poppy and Branch reunite, and Mia has flashbacks to a steamy night of her and Branch, and a flashback from Rosiepuff.

The next morning Poppy was up early as she made coffee and saw Delta getting her bags.

''Too bad you have to leave so soon.'' Poppy said enjoying Delta.

''Yeah, I know pumpkin, but Branch is coming back, and I miss my Hickory.'' Delta said.

Poppy went over and hugged Delta who smiled. ''Can I get some coffee for the road?'' Delta asked.

''Of course. Here.'' Poppy gave her a coffee tumbler.

''Thanks, I'll see you in a couple months at the wedding.'' Delta said winking as she left.

Poppy was sad to see Delta go but she was excited to see Branch. She had been longing for him. She closed her eyes thinking of him.

Daydream...

Poppy was in Branch's arms, and he kisses her deeply holding her body close as she grabs his shirt his hands roam farther down her body as his hand ran up her leg.

Daydream over...

Poppy opened her eyes and saw a message from Branch.

'We will be landing in an hour.' The text sends.

Poppy was excited and grabbed her keys as she went to her car and took off to the airport. Not far away Delta had decided to follow Poppy just to make sure she was safe.

Poppy drove to the airport and got out as she went inside and went to the area where her Branch would be getting off.

Meanwhile Branch was leaning back in his chair so excited to see Poppy. Boy she was in for it when he saw her.

Mia looked over and noticed his look and tried not to let it get to her as she looked out the window.

Later the plane landed, and Branch and Mia got their duffle bags and got off the plane.

''So, Branch how many times do we travel?'' Asked Mia as they were walking side by side.

''Well, we usually try to check every two months.'' Branch said as they walked through the terminal.

''Ok, sounds good.'' She said.

They got through the terminal and went through the airport and Branch felt his heart jump and soar when he saw Poppy.

''POPPY!'' He shouted.

The pink troll saw Branch and whole face lit up as she ran over to him, and they met halfway as Poppy tackled him in a hug with her legs around him.

Branch caught her and held her tight not wanting to let go. ''Branch! Your here!'' She squealed and kissed him.

The blue troll kisses her back deeply slipping his tongue in her mouth as she moans and runs her hands through the back of his hair and pulls out of the kiss.

''Trolly, I missed you.'' She said taking a breath.

''I missed you more.'' He said holding her close feeling relieved she was safe.

She then kisses him as he kisses her back one hand on her leg the other behind her head.

Mia was watching them and gulps. She felt jealous and upset, it should be her in Branch's arms and getting his kisses. She thought back to a night when Branch held her like that in a steamy night of passion during their benefits deal.

Flashback....

Branch came back to his grandma's house and yawns as Mia comes out of the living room.

''Branch your back!'' She exclaimed.

''Yeah, I am.'' He smiles as she came over and he pulls her in for a kiss.

She kisses back and he backs her to the wall and pulls away from her lips with a look of longing.

''Where is grandma?'' He asked.

''She's in bed sleeping.'' Mia whispered.

Branch removes Mia's shirt and his as he kisses her deeply and ran his hands over her body taking off her bra and strips out of his pants as his boxers follow and he lifts her up as their naked body pushes together.

Branch took her to his room as they stumble on the bed and Branch kisses her desperately and climbs over her as he pushes into her warm opening.

They held hands and Mia moans feeling the hot troll pleasuring her and she wraps her arms around his neck pulling him into a deep kiss as they moan quietly, and he thrusts more his eyes closed.

Mia couldn't help but whimper at the touches and he went and bit her ear knowing it was a sensitive spot. The blue troll pushed into her.

''Mmm damn I missed you so much Poppy.'' He said.

Mia hated being called that but hey she was getting what the annoying pink trash wasn't getting and she let it go.

''Mmm I missed you too Branchie~" She moans.

Shortly Branch pulls out of her as he used a towel and came in it as she used her arms to sit up.

''Mm.'' She giggles.

He lays next to her and pulls her into his arms kissing her deeply as his fingers ran over her side.

Flashback over...

Mia saw the couple pull away and went over to them.

''Hey Poppy.'' Mia said with a smile.

''Hey Mia.'' Poppy smiles as they hug. ''How was the trip?''

''Great! Learned a lot.'' She said.

''Well, let's head back Poppy.'' Branch said.

''Wait Mia, didn't you come with Ryan? We can give you a ride home.'' Poppy offered.

''Um no that ok.'' Mia said.

''Come on I insist.'' Poppy smiles.

Mia looked at Branch who nodded. ''Alright.''

Poppy linked arms with Mia as they went out the car. ''Ok where do you live?'' Asked Poppy.

''The Acers Apartments.'' Mia said.

They got into the car as Poppy drove and Mia sat in the front while Branch sat in the back. It was a quiet ride. Shortly they arrived and Mia got out as Branch got out and pulled out her duffle bag.

''Here you go Mia. And I'll see you tomorrow in the office.'' Branch said.

''See ya Branch.'' She gave him a hug.

Poppy was watching them and gulped. She hated the way Mia hugged Branch, but she shook it off as Branch got into the passenger seat and kisses Poppy on the side of neck.

''Finally, we can get back home. I've been wanting you since I left.'' He growls as Poppy giggles driving home.

Mia went inside her apartment and sighed as she placed her bag down and went to made herself something to eat and drink.

After she finished, she went to the living room and watched some tv. She sighed trying not to think of what Branch and Poppy were doing. She felt a couple tears run down her face as she wipes them.

She really wished she had never messed up maybe Branch would still be with her.

She sighed and thought back to a conversation she had with Rosiepuff the last year she was alive while her and Branch just started their friends with benefits.

Flashback...

Mia and Branch were in the living room playing a game of chess while Rosiepuff was in her rocking chair and was knitting.

''Ha looks like I win again!'' Branch cheered.

''No fair you cheated!'' Mia exclaimed.

Branch and her laugh and he stood up. ''Well, I'm taking a shower then going to bed. Do you need help getting grandma in bed?'' Asked Branch.

''Nope, I got it. I'll see you tomorrow, Branch.'' Mia called with a smile.

Branch smiled back and went over kissing his grandma and hugged Mia as he left. The young troll had a dreamy smile on her face.

Rosiepuff saw the way Branch and Mia acted and she knew what was going on between them. She felt bad for Mia and decided to give her some advice.

Mia took Rosiepuff to her room and got her ready for bed.

''You and Branch seem very close as of late.'' Rosiepuff pointed out as she was getting changed.

''Yes, we are. It's nice to have someone around my age. Not that you're not fun Rosiepuff.'' Mia caught herself.

Rosiepuff chuckled. ''I understand Mia and I know how much you like Branch and I see that he does like you.'' She said softly.

Mia felt giddy and her heart jump from that.

''But you're never going to be number 1 in his heart.'' She said softly watching the girl's face as she was placed in bed.

''Well, I mean we are just friend's things could change that.'' Mia said feeling a lump in her throat.

Rosiepuff shook her head. ''No, matter what you do, what you say, or how you act he's not going to fully love you the way he loves Poppy.''

Mia felt anger and jealousy towards the pink troll that Branch had called out in bed and spoke of so often.

Rosiepuff saw her face. ''But I would love if you became part of the family. I can see you two dating, but it won't last.''

''Can I ask why you think we won't last even if we did?'' Mia asked quietly as she sat on the side of the bed.

''I've seen the way he looks at you and Poppy. Branch looks at you with lust, and a desperate need to be with someone and honestly you and Poppy do have a lot in common, I can see why he taken with you. But the way he looked at Poppy was one of pure love, who was always on cloud 9 when she was around, everyone else disappears but them and she is a troll he wants back, and he'll always pick over you. It's the way my husband looked at me and my son at his wife.'' She said.

Mia was holding back tears as she heard what Rosiepuff said. The older troll took her hand and looks at her.

''Honey, I'm not trying to make sad or to hurt you in anyway. I just want you to be aware of it all. Love makes trolls blind and it's better to be with someone who will put you first and only see you, not their ex.'' Rosiepuff said as she hugged Mia.

Mia hugged back feeling very sad and worried. ''Well, if anything comes of me and Branch, I will take what you say into consideration.'' Mia said.

''By all means go and love my grandson, he'll need someone to lean on when I'm gone, and I want that to be you... I'm an old troll I might be wrong.'' She said.

Mia smiled and tucked in Rosiepuff. ''Goodnight, I'll see you in the morning.'' She said.

''You too Mia.'' Rosiepuff said falling asleep.

Flashback over...

Mia was on the couch hugging her pillow close with her head on the pillow crying. Rosiepuff had been right. The troll thought back to if she hadn't messed up and been with Martin maybe her and Branch would still be together.

She sighed and laid on the couch, shortly she got up emptying her cup and got ready for bed as she lays down and pulled out the picture, she had of her and Branch for their first month of dating and held onto it as she slept.
