Hey so sorry if I'm late, it's because my grandma just died and i can't use internet.

This chapter is in memory for my grandma, Feb/9/17

It was a stromy night. Branch was out getting fresh resources as it rains very hard. Branch heard Poppy's voice. "Branch, hey" Poppy yelled out to him as she waved her hands. Today was Grandma Rosiepuff's death aniversery so Branch didn't look at Poppy as he felt more in sadness and disapointment than anger. "BRANCH!" Poppy yelled again. "WHAT! POPPY WHAT!" Branch yell with anger as he think of Poppy with no respect for the dead. His grandma was not given a proper burial 'cause of being eatnen but Poppy didn't know of his grandma.

"Sorry, I was just wondering if... I could stay with you for the day"Poppy answered. ranch nodded and pick up the last batch of stick stones and jars full of rain water.

Branch continued to his bunker as Poppy skipped along his side. The time they got into the bunker, the rain weakens. "Well thats a good timing" Poppy said as she notice Branch silence. "Branch what's wrong" Poppy asked with a curious face. Stil, silence. "Come on, talk to me. Is this about the day of friendship celebration wich was two days ago, if so, sorry" Poppy said. "No it's just about the day, I have bad memories for today" Branch said as the two sat on his cozy couch.

Poppt then thinks that for a trolls to be sad, it can be heart broken or death of a loved one. She does notremember Branch being heartbroken at this date so she assumed it was death in the family. Poppy hugged him tightly, she thought Branch would yell or atleast try to go away but he didn't, instead he accepted it in silence but he didn't say any thing and he didn't hugged back.

"Your very wet Poppy, clean up first" Branch said."Were both wet Branch" Poppy said.

The rain suddenly stopped. "I should dry my clothes out side... Branch can you do it for me, I wanna take a shower" Poppy asked. "What?" Branch said with shyness in his tone. "I said, can you take my clothes out in the sun, I don't have other clothes to wear" Poppy said as Branch nodded to her request.

Branch took the clothes and hanged it out side as Poppy was taking a shower while singing. He didn't mind at all, he should be scolding her but he didn't. Branch changed in his bedroom. Poppy's singing was nice, the songs were wonderfully sang but... his mood got sadder and sadder as he heard Poppy started to sing "Total Eclipse". "Poppy please stop, just stop" Branch said loosening his rounded and closed fist.

"Okay" Poppy said as she got out of the shower. "Hey Branch can you kindly get my clothes" Poppy asked.

Branch came back at the semi-open door of his shower room and gave Poppy her clothes.

The two sat at the couch again waiting for their hair to dry. "Hey can I... Brush your hair" Branch asked pulling out a brush out of his hair. He soon realizes that the brush was owned by his grandma. Memories came back as tears started to form, but he stopped them from falling.

He brushed Poppy's hair strip by strip then he realizes that the necklace Branch gave to Poppy on her birthday is around her neck. "Hey you kept the necklace" Branch said. "Yeah, it was a nice present and it gave me memories of when we were kids and I didn't have the promise. Where's yours" Poppy said with a little sadness in her eyes. "I don't remember where I put it, I kinda forgot about it acsually" Branch said as he finished brushing her hair.

Then it was her turn to brush his hair. His hair is so soft, it's like a stuff toy. Poppy thought to herself. As she was brushing every hairline on his scalpe, her hand pierced through his hair and she felt a metalic figure in it. She grabbed the piece of metal and she found out that it was his part of the necklace. "Branch, your necklace, it's in your hair the whole time" Poppy said. "Well, I'm gonna have to give it to you, you know to give it to your lover" Branch said with saddness ovecoming his voice. "No, Branch, I want you to keep it, where it everyday" Poppy said. Poppy stopped brushing and wraped the necklace arounf branch as branch said "Poppy I-". "No, Branch, please just wear it, for me" Poppy said as branch nodded slowly.

The two sat alone n the coziness of his bunker. They found there heads leaning forwards to each other's faces. Then suddenly, like lightning it struck. The two found themselves kissing each other.

"I..." The two said removing there connection blushing as Branch rubbed the back of his neck and Poppy rubbed her arm.

"Well, I gotta go" Poppy said as she left the bunker giggling to herself for hapiness has overcome her for she felt that spark again when they kissed. Leaving Branch alone in the dark and sad environment.

My parents may have left me, my grandma may have died but... atleast I got Poppy by my side. Branch thought. Normally today I don't have the guts to write a poem but I may have to.

"True Enemy"

Who is my true enemy

Grandma died because of me

Poeple gets hurt by others

Time kills memories of our ancestors

Our life is scheduled for death to come

I seek the best of me to become

Is time my enemy, so

Or isn't it I, myself who is my foe

-Death himself

Branch went off to sleep after he wrote his poems. He felt something watching him.

It was his grandma watching from the heavens looking sad for Branch is sad.

Better sad than nothing at all

So I like to think of the dead as people watching us from up above so I won't think that they're truly gone. So I still sad for grandma. Don't forget to coment and review*SOB*
