~That Night~

Poppy And Barb Were Sneakily Gathering Up Supplies And Figuring Out A Game Plan.

"You Think We'll Have Enough Snacks?"
Poppy Asked.

Barb Put The Snacks In Poppy's Hair.
"Uh Duhhhh. Plus, I'm Sure These Worlds Have Food"

"True"
Poppy Nodded.

"Wait! Lemme Get My Guitar"
Barb Walked Away.

"Okay!"
Poppy Said.

Poppy Grabbed Her Brown Strap Bag And Put It Over Her Shoulder.

Branch Watched The Whole Thing.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk -.- Hey!"

Poppy Jumped And Turned Around
"AAAAHHHH!!!"

"OH! BRANCH! HAIII 👋"
Poppy Waved Nervously.

"Just What Do You Think You're Doing?"

Poppy Stood Innocently.
"Nothinggggg....😁"

"Mmm, What's That Brown Strap Bag For?"
Branch Questioned.

"Uh.......Pills?"
Poppy Said.

Branch Said.

Poppy Thought.
"Uhhh.......Birth Control?"

"Hmmm, Unlikely"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

"Trust Me, I'm Just Going For A Hike!"
Poppy Marched In Place.

Barb Came Back.
"Couldn't Get My Guitar, My Dad's Sleeping On It And God Knows How Long It'll Take For Him To Get Up"

Poppy Made Signals For Barb To Shut Up.

"So Let's Go On This Universe Quest To Stop The Hooded Stranger!"
Barb Said.

Poppy Facepalms.
"🤦‍♀️"

"WHAT?! Universe Quest?! After The Hooded Stranger???"

"Yesssssss.....😁"
Poppy Grinned Innocently.

"Poppy, You Told Me You Wouldn't Go!"
Branch Said.

"Welll I Um..."
Poppy Rubbed Her Arm.

"What?"
Branch Said.

Poppy Looked Down Guilty And Held Up Her Crossed Fingers. 🤞

Branch Gasped Dramatically.
"😱!!!"

Barb Scoffs.
"Pfff- And They Call Me The Savage One"

"The Shame Poppy....The Shame..."
Branch Shook His Head.

Poppy Sighs.
"Branch, Didn't You Hear The Meeting? If That Hooded Stranger Puts Those Gems In All The DreamWorks Worlds, Everyone's Legacy Will Be Gone! And It's All Because Of Us"

"So It's Our Fault We're The Most Current Popular World? Pff- It Should Be A Honor"
Branch Rolled His Eyes.

"Oh Cmonnn, Join Us! Man Up Dude"
Barb Said.

"Why Do You Wanna Go Anyways Barb?"
Branch Asked.

Barb Side Hugs Poppy.
"Cause Poppy's My Girl And We Girl Besties Stick Together"

"Poppy, Did You Not See Those....Things At The Meeting?!?! A Talking Donkey! A Speeding Snail! Cavemen! A Grown Man In Underpants And A Cape! PLUS, A DOG HAD A HUMAN SON! THAT CAN'T BE NORMAL!"

"I'm Sorry Branch. I Have To Do This. Years Ago, I Promised My Dad I'd Protect The Trolls's Legacy Of Whatever It Takes. And I'll Never Go Down On My Dad"
Poppy Told Him.

Branch Turned Away.

"And Plus, If Those Gems Break Open, It Will Destroy Our Legacy's And We Will Have To Restart Our Lives....And I Don't Wanna Restart Meeting You. It Would Mean To Leave The Love We Have Now And I Love You Sooo Much"
Poppy Hugged Him From Behind

Branch's Ears Droop Down, Knowing How Much This Meant To Her.

Branch Sighed And Turned Around.
"Have You Thought This Out Completely? Do You Even Know Where Your Going?"

"Nope, But We Just Gotta Go To All Those Worlds"
Barb Said.

"How Will You Get There? Huh. The Wormholes Don't Do World Universe Travel"
Branch Said.
