Viva goes to visit Peppy, and to see Poppy but since the queen is away, it leads to the oldest sister to spend some time with her future brother-in-law.

Viva had just arrived at Pop Village and walked over to her dad's pod. ''Dad!'' Viva called.

''Viva!'' Peppy greeted coming out of a room and hugging her. ''About time you came back.''

''Yeah, I figured why come visit my dad, sister, and the other trolls.'' She said as she sat on the couch.

''Well, hate to say it but Poppy isn't here. She had a tribe meeting to attend in Lonesome Flatts, so she'll be gone for a couple days.'' Peppy said as he pulled out a candy necklace.

Viva nodded and sighed. She was so proud of the queen her sister had become but was sad she was gone.

Viva spent a good chunk of the morning with her dad as they made candy necklaces and Peppy had fallen asleep. Viva smiles and left walking out.

'Ok now what to do?' She asked herself.

She walked around and saw Branch who was talking to Guy Diamond and went over.

''Hey guys what are you talking about?'' Viva asked.

They looked at her. ''Hey Viva.'' Branch grinned and looked up sighing. ''Again?''

Guy looked at Branch's hair and laughed. ''You look so cute Branchie.'' Guy snapped a picture of Branch with pigtails. ''Poppy is going to die about this.''

''Look up.'' Branch smirked as Viva had her elbow on Branch's shoulder with a grin.

Guy looked up and saw his hair in a braid. ''No way you are amazing!''

He picked up Viva and hugs her as she hugs back both laughing. Branch smiles as the two put each other down.

''It's the famous Guy Diamond who is the brother to Poppy! means that I'm your sister as well!'' Viva exclaimed.

''Honorary brother and yes, I would love to stay and chat, but I have to pick up Tiny.'' He said as he left.

''Hey Branch!'' Viva squealed and hugged him tightly pulling away.

''Hey Viva.'' Branch said catching his breath. ''What brings you here?''

''Duh to see my dad and Poppy, but I hear she is gone.'' Viva sighed.

''Yeah, to Lonesome Flatts, wish I could have gone with her, but someone needs to lookout here and make sure the trolls are safe.'' He said.

''Isn't that dad's job?'' She asked following him as he walked.

''Yes, but Poppy's noticed that Peppy has been um a bit forgetful and I'm just here to help out plus being the boyfriend means I have to stay back.'' He shrugged.

''Well, if you ever want to go with her just let me know I don't mind helping dad out.'' Viva said.

''I'll keep it in mind.'' Branch said.

''So, where are you going?'' Asked Viva.

''Back to the bunker, Floyd and John Dory are on their way to go pick up Floyd's stuff so it's just me.'' Branch said.

''No way! Can I check out this bunker?! Poppys told me so much about it.'' Viva jumps up and down.

''Sure, why not. It's time you see how I lived when I was scared of the bergans.'' Branch nodded as they went to his bunker.

He got on the lift as Viva got on with him as they went down.

''Woah, I love this!'' She looked around happily.

''Thanks, spent years building this and keeping everyone out and it worked for the most part.'' Branch said chuckling.

They passed jars full of water. ''Oh water!''

''Um yeah those are all my sweat, if we have a water problem or shortage at the time, I would be able to stay alive longer then the others.'' He said proudly.

Viva nodded. ''Disgusting but an awesome idea.''

''Really?'' Asked Branch impressed nobody ever agreed to it.

''Yeah, if we didn't have a supply of stuff at the putt putt that would work.'' Viva exclaimed as they made it too the bottom.

''Woah!'' Viva ran around looking at the living room with the couch a armchair with a tv and lamp and desk and in the next room a kitchen with a table, chairs and a fridge with cooking stuff.

''Aww it's so amazing! You did all of this?'' She asked excitedly.

''Yep.'' He smiled happy to see her enjoying the place.

''Over here is mine and Poppy's room when she stays over, this over here is John Dory's room and Floyd's is next door, Clay is empty in case he wants to stay.'' Branch said.

''Is there a place for me?'' She asked.

''Yeah, you and Clay can bunker up.'' Branch said grinning as they went to the kitchen.

Viva turned red and looked away. ''Or you could sleep on the couch.'' He nodded as they went into the kitchen.

''I'll just stay at Poppy's pod.'' Viva said.

''Or you can stay in the spare room that I have made for Spruce not that he's going to use it.'' He said pulling a basket out and sat it on the table with pens and craft stuff.

Viva went over and looked at him. ''Um what are you doing?''

''Poppy wants these invites out tomorrow so I'm working on them.'' Branch said as he started stuffing them in the envelope.

''Here I can help.'' Viva said as she sat across from him and started helping with the invites.

''Thanks, it will go faster with two of us.'' Branch said happy for the help.

''Doesn't Poppy help you with these?'' Asked Viva.

''Yeah, she does sometimes when she's free.'' Branch answered.

''What made you decide to leave the bunker and being peace among the bergans?'' Asked Viva.

''Poppy. More like she didn't really give me a choice.'' Branch said with a smirk.

''Yeah, sounds like Poppy. She bribes you or something?'' Asked Viva who was working on another invite.

''No, she asked for my help, and I said no then to keep the trolls safe she brings them down here where they destroyed my bunker and after the 5th hug time, I left to follow Poppy. Best thing I ever did.'' Branch said thinking of it.

''Poppy told me you saved her a couple of times.'' Viva said her elbows leaning on the table.

''Yeah, I did from spiders and from getting turned into a rock zombie first.'' He said.

''Well, I thank you; the way Poppy talks about you, you mean a lot to her.'' Viva said with a smile.

''Yeah, she means a lot to me. But we never use to get along in fact I was pretty mean to her at the beginning she would invite me to parties and make these invitation cards she put time and effort into, and I stomped on them, but after I took them back here and fixed them. It was something to remind me that I am loved. I'm ashamed of how I acted to her, and she still came back.'' He sighed his ears going down.

Viva took his hand. ''I'm so sorry you went through all of that. And I know Poppy can be overbearing sometimes, I'm like that a lot.''

''I could have been nicer to her, and Guy Diamond I swear he will take any picture he can of me and Poppy together. He actually caught a picture of me kissing a sleeping, Poppy.'' Branch blushed.

''Aww that's cute Branchie.'' Viva giggles.

''Only Poppy can call me that.'' He said.

''Got it. I can't believe someday we are going to be in laws.'' Viva smiles.

''I know, I can't wait for you and Clay to tie the knot.'' Branch teased.

Viva smirks. ''Nope, Poppy and you will be first.''

''I doubt it. I love her and I kind of brought that up, but she said that would be too weird.'' He sighed.

''She was just nervous. I've talked to her about it, and she said she would love to marry you someday.'' Viva said.

Branch's eyes lit up. ''Seriously?''

''Yeah, just give her some time.'' Viva said.

The rest of the day they worked on the cards and finally late evening they finished.

''Dang now tomorrow to deliver them.'' Branch said sitting back in his chair and Viva stood up still full of energy.

''Great! I can help with that but I'm gonna head to Poppy's pod to get something to eat.'' She said.

''I got stuff here.'' Branch protested.

''I know but I brought more fun snacks to share with dad come on and join us Branch. '' Viva said.

''Alright.'' Branch stood up and looked up. His hair was braided.

''There you look so cute!'' She gushed and took a picture and waved it around.

''No, please don't Poppy and the guys don't need to see that.'' Branch tried to reach for it.

''Better come and get it before I show Guy Diamond.'' She grins as she took off.

Branch gulps as his eyes widen. "No anyone but Guy!" He shouted and ran after her. Needless to say, they became the best of friends.

Enjoy!
