note: So I'll be making things skip time but only just for a little like maximum a year okay?
It has bin 8 months since Poppy recieved the letter from Branch and they havn't seen each other since. Meanwhile, 7 year old Poppy are setting up for a special event that happens every 25th of January. It is the celebration of a special day that the inventor of cupcake, Amelia Simmons asigned as Cupcake day while our King, Peppy was just a prince during that time.
The event is celebrated with a "The Best Cupcake Contest". Biggie and Cooper joined. Ith was a suprise that Cooper won even though he dont have fingers. Maybe he pooped the cupcake to be the best. Poppy thought as the winner achived his price wich is wierdly more cupcakes and a Trophy shaped like a cupcake.
After the celebration Poppy sighted a familliar black hair and a grey skin as the others walked back to thier pods. "Dad, don't worry about me if I am lost for a day or two, i'm planning something" Poppy said to his father who nodded to her request.
She followed the grey skinned troll but went behind a bush so she can see the figure clearly. The grey skinned troll heard rustles from behind a bush. Insticts came over him as he was alerted by what he might call danger. So he ran and before Poppy can even look at him, he disapeared. She tryed to look at the direction of destruction left be the grey troll's actions.
Just before Poppy could reach to him, she fell on a stone wich has fallen from the grey troll's bag. She fell and hit her head, now she is unconscious and with her last breath, she said "help, Bran-".
She woke up feeling dizzy as the unclear figure ran to her and gave her blankets. For a momment she wanted to stand up and hug him but her head ache got in her way. "Don't try anything, the pain might get worse" a voice of boy can be heard. From her hearing, the young, grey troll is a year older but since she got a head ache, she's not sure. She fell asleep in the troll's arms.
She woke up again finding out that she was on a bed but no troll to be found. It looks like the troll healed her from her wound and head ache. She was in a cave full of personal stuff, things you have to put in yuor pod. Although it was a cave she felt cozy. She stood up and examined the room. Wondering, she explored the room full of papers, sticks, stones, wool and cloth. She first searched the desk with papers on top of it. She read the papers and to her suprise, the papers contain poems. She then read one.
" You are My Nightmare and My Dream"
I hate you 'cause you are annoying
But I love you 'cause you give the sweetest hugs
Crazy confutions, so irritating
You care for me, but I am what you bug
In a cupcake, you're the cream
You are my nightmare anf my dream
- by Branch
"Awww, thats so sweet" Poppy said. After reading she took the paper by her hair and opened the door, exiting the master bedroom. She looked around wich was posibly the living room. As she looked around, she saw the troll from earlier sleeping on the couch. "Branch is that you" she said shaking the grey troll. He woke up "I'm up, I'm up" he said standing up as she hugged him. He blushed but then Poppy pulled back. "Branch where have you bin? We havn't saw each other since, what was it like 7, 8 months" she said. "Poppy I'm sorry if you got hurt awhile ago and you hit your head earlier but you have to leave, you have bin here for 2 hours and I don't want anything to do with you" Branch said as Poppy tried to stop her tears but one tear drop escaped.
"We havn't met for a long time and this is what you say?" Poppy said as tears continued to fall." Poppy I-" Branch got cut off by Poppy "No, Branch no, you hurt me everytime we see each other and more hurt is what I get?" Poppy said as she felt anger rising up. "Poppy listen-" once again he was cut off "BRANCH HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME? CAN'T YOU SEE I NEEDED YOU? YOU GAVE ME HAPINESS BRANCH!" Poppy yelled. "Fine then Poppy,if you're angery, just leave me be" Branch said hurt. "Branch I'm sorry I shouted but atleast before I go, please tell me who this letter is for" she said showing Branch the poem she took. "Uh that's for-um-Rose yeah rose and... we've bin seeing each other, yeah that's my reason" Nervous, he said as Poppy felt disappointment. "Well, see ya Branch... hey waita sec, Rose is just an imaginary character who you made wich was... me, in your story. So that means you like me, YES!" Poppy exclaimed as Branch blushes. "Don't go through my stuff before consulting to me Poppy" Branch said agrily.
"Wait before you say leave, I already told my father that it's okay if I'm gone for a few days soooo... can I have a sleep over?" she asked desprately. "Fine, then I'll sleep in my couch again, good night" Branch said clearly annoyed. "No Branch, your bed is the size of 2 trolls and we can sleep there beside each other, besides, I'm alittle afraid of your home so please" Poppy requested. "Okay, just stop whinning" Branch said as Poppy nodded.
Poppy woke up in her own pod and at first everything that happened was just a dream but as she looked at the window, she saw Branch running for the forest. "I'll never forget you, Branch" Poppy said still looking at the window of the direction Branch ran.
You are my nightmare and my dream
