Poppy, Branch And Barb Peaked Out The Back Of The Carriage.

Poppy Looked At The Castle.
"We're Here! Now We Just Gotta Get Inside"

"But How? The Front Doors Are Guarded With Knights"
Branch Points.

Barb Hopped Over Branch's Head.
"KNIGHTS?! KNIGHTS ARE COOL! THEY HAVE SWORDS! IMMA GO TOUCH THEM IN AREAS!"

"Well It Would've Worked Easily To Sneak Past Them But In This World We Grew To Medium Size"
Barb Said.

Branch's Ears Perk Up With A Light Bulb Over His Head. 💡

"I Got It!"
Branch Told Them.

Branch And Both Girls Approach The Castle Doorsteps In Their Disguises.

Branch Was Dressed Like A Prince And The Girls Dressed Like His Knights.

Poppy Rubs Her Butt.
"This Metal Amor Is Making My Butt Sore!"

"I Still Don't Get Why We Had To Be Your Knights -.-"
Barb Said.

"It's A Fair Ratio. Plus, I'd Look Hot As A Prince"
Branch Whipped His Hair.

"Whatever Justin Bieber Wannabe, Just Make This Quick!"
Barb Said.

The Knights At The Doors Stopped Them And Held Out Their Staffs.

"Hey Hey, Stop It Right Here!"
A Knight Said.

The 3 Gulp.

"This Is Only For The King And Queen Of Far Far Away"
A Knight Said.

"And Those Royalty Visitors With Reservations To Meet With Them"
The Other Knight Said.

Branch Smiled Nervously.

Poppy And Barb Facepalm.

"Ababwa?"
The Knight Said.

"Never Heard Of It"
The Other Knight Said.

"My Two Knights Will Tell You. Girlssss"
Branch Gestures.

Poppy And Barb Look At Each Other, Not Knowing What To Say.

"It's South/North!"
Poppy And Barb Said Different Things At The Same Time.

Branch Put His Head Down And Shook It.

The Knights Raise Their Eyebrows.

"We Uh.....Have A North. And A South"
Poppy Said.

"Different Junctions"
Barb Added.

"Okay Then, Where's Your Reservation To Come Into The Castle?"
The Knight Questions.

"I Have No Reservation...?"
Branch Said.

"Nope"
The Knights Shook Their Heads.

Branch Turned Around To Barb.
"This Is All Your Fault. I Told You To Make Reservations Before Leaving The Kingdom"

Barb Glared At Him.
"-.- Sir, I'm Your Knight. Not Your-"

"NEIN!"
Branch Slapped Barb Across The Face.

Poppy's Eyes Widen.
"O__O"

Barb Felt Her Face.

"YOU!!! ARE WHAT I SAY YOU ARE!!!"
Branch Yelled.

Barb Punched Branch Across The Face.

"Oh God-"
Branch Fell To The Floor.

The Knights Blink.

Barb Helped Branch Back Up.

"Sorry Sir- You Have A Fly On Your Face"
Barb Punched Branch Again.

"OI-"
Branch Fell Again.

Poppy And Barb Helped Branch Up.

The Knights Didn't Know How To React.

Branch Felt His Face.
"A-As Prince Of Ababwa, I-I Beg Your Pardon To Let Me Use Your Royal Bathrooms Cause I Can't F-Feel My Face.."

"We Don't Think So"
The Knight Said.

"I Think This Is A Scam"
The Other Knight Said.

Both Knights Approach The 3 Slowly With Their Staffs.

The 3 Trolls Hold Each Other Nervously.

Fiona Peaked Out The Castle And Noticed The Trolls In The Disguises.

Fiona Ran In Front Of Them Knights.
"Wait! It's Okay It's Okay! They're From The Meeting We Went To"

"Oh"
The Knights Backed Up.

Shrek Asked.

"Is The Cookie Monster Back?! Cause I Swear I Paid That Son Of A- HEYYY THOSE TROLL THINGS ARE BACK"
Donkey Said.

"Oh- It's Them"

"Nothing! Just, Go Back Inside Kid And Do Your King Stuff!"

"Uhhh, Alright Then!"

"WHOA WHOA SLOW DOWN SLOW DOWN SLOW DOWNNN!

"DON'T SLOW DOWN DONT SLOW DOWN DON'T SLOW DOWNNN!"
Barb Shouted.

Poppy Jumped Up In The Air And Clinged Onto The Wall.

"POPPY! BE CAREFUL!"
Branch Yelled.

"Yeah Yeahhh I'll Take Note Of That!"
Poppy Replied.

Poppy Took Out A Crowbar Out Her Hair And Used It To Pluck Out The Gem.

The Gem Fell Into Her Hand.

"Got It"
Poppy Smiled.

Poppy Jumped Back Down To The Window Edge.
"GOT IT!"

"WHOO! Yeah! Nice Job Popcorn"
Barb Punched Poppy's Arm Playfully..

"Thanks You! And ow..."
Poppy Rubbed Her Arm.

Poppy Put The Gem In Her Brown Bag.

The Portal Hit The Ground And Opened Up A Portal.

"Onto Our Next Location! Thanks Eddie Murphy Animal!"
Poppy Jumped Down.

Barb Waved.
"See Ya Jack-"

"No No, Don't Say It. I Know"
Donkey Said.

"Good, Cause This Is Supposedly PG"

Donkey Nods.
"You Got It!"

Branch Inhales.
"Okay....Just Do What Van Diesel Would Do......"
