Poppy, Smidge and Rose are hanging out in the bowling alley in the Mall Palace after they shopped for new clothes.
"Wow, this gaming really spiced up Smidge a lot." Rose said, as she sipped her fruit juice.
"Yeah, she loves playing bowling to calm down." Poppy added.
"Say, where is Branch?" The elf asked her.
"He'll be there any minute." Poppy answered.
Suddenly, Branch and Creek flew in, arguing their wings off. It caused stares between the other people in the mall.
"Poppy, you need to settle this right now!" The two shouted.
"Please guys, not one of your dumb arguments again?" Poppy groaned.
"Oh, there's nothing dumb about this, Creek stole a bite from my noisenberry!" Branch complained as he pulled out a fruit that resembles an air horn, which has a bite on it.
"That's yours?!" Creek butt in. "Noisenberries belong to Mother Nature! I can't steal one any I can steal a rainbow or a summer breeze."
"I grew them!" Branch yelled.
The two started arguing so hard that Poppy pushed them apart with her magic.
"Enough!" Poppy yelled. "Everybody is sick of your constant bickering."
So many times did Creek and Branch argue over everything, from waiting in line, ordering, flying, wishing on stars, and being chased by a wild dragon. Poppy had enough of it.
"The fact is, Creek, sometimes, you can be insensitive, and Branch, you can be very rigid with your rules." Poppy reprimanded them. "Now, I don't expect you to be friends but so help me, if you can't get along, then I'll be forced to take serious action."
"Poppy, I hear you." Creek smiled, then he turns to Branch. "Ugh, you need to get along with me."
"No, you have to get along with me!" Branch hissed.
"That's not what she said!" Creek yelled. "You never hear her!"
"Oh yeah, you got kicked out of the apartments because you betrayed everybody in that stormy night!" Branch shouted as markings started appearing on his arms.
"Oh, what are you talking about, mate?"
"Don't call me mate!"
Branch and Creek continued to argue until they had enough. When the two are about to leave, something slammed them together.
"What the?" They gasped as they saw that they are chained together with a glowing pink chain on their wrists.
"You are stuck together with a magic chain, a spell used by one of the twelve heroes to teach certain sprites to reconcile their differences." Poppy smirked. "Dad said that it's surprisingly powerful."
"Huh?" The two gasped.
"Oh snap!" Chenille mocked them as she and Satin flew by.
"You're in our world now, sons!" Satin joined in.
"Yeah!" They chorused as they flew away.
It horrified Branch and Creek, who are now stuck to each other.
"Oh no!" Creek cried.
"Great!" Branch screamed.
While in the mall, the two grumbled about being stuck, wearing a chain for the rest of their lives. The other mythical races gave a funny look when they saw the two chained to each other.
"Can't believe Poppy." Branch cried. "Being stuck with you is so hard."
"Well, that does it, this day is ruined." Creek complained.
"Not if we do a schedule." Branch suggested.
"Well, I love to follow your rigid time table, Branch but the universe prefers me to have my days a bit more freely." Creek said. "Instead, we could take turns in doing what we have planned."
"That is the schedule!" Branch groaned.
"Must you label anything?" Creek nodded.
"Yeah, that's how I have higher grades than you!" Branch added.
"Oh really." Creek rolled his eyes.
The two walked around, doing their favorite things together, though they try to annoy each other while doing it. Creek once put a whoopee cushion on Branch's seat when they ordered milk tea, or Branch teasing Creek about his last embarrassing moment when he was sick and misses school picture day that his mom placed his second grade picture instead of his first year picture. In each activity, the two would humiliate each other out of hate. After Branch and Creek lost in a glitterball game, due to their constant arguing, they are doing fine in Creek's yoga session.
"Inhale." Creek instructed. "And exhale."
But instead, Branch burped, which scared away the other sprites.
"How dare you!" Creek growled as the two started fighting. Things got a lot worse when Poppy placed a magic chain on them. The other onlookers are shocked when they saw the two sprites fighting more.
"What kind of a sprite throws someone off?!" Creek cried.
"You whipped me off first!" Branch yelled.
"I can't believe you did this!" Creek added.
"But you did threw me first!" Branch cried until he came to realization. "I can't believe Poppy, the nerve of her sticking with you!"
"You don't have to tell me, I blame her for this entire mess!" Creek agreed.
Suddenly, in the middle of their fight, a dragon went loose in the street. Everybody went screaming and yelling for their lives, leaving Branch and Creek in front of it.
"It's going to swallow us whole!" Creek cried.
"Wrong, it will chew us up first!" Branch corrected him.
Creek screamed for his life until Branch used his earth magic to shield them from the dragon's fire breath. This got Creek an idea.
"Hmmm!" Creek and Branch sighed as they start using their powers to help each other get out of the dragon situation.
Creek made a bubble out of water to protect him and Branch while Branch grew a large oak tree with his powers. The two climbed up to the top of the tree and flew into the sky in unison. The dragon pursued the two until the everwing rescue team arrived. Creek and Branch sighed as they watch the team catch the dragon and drove away with it.
"Whew, we're safe." Branch sighed.
"Yeah, that was close." Creek added. "You're getting better with that."
"Had a lot of experience with using magic." Branch agreed.
As the two chat, the chain disappeared from their wrists. Branch and Creek were surprised.
"Whoa, the chain is gone!" Branch shouted.
"Yeah, it might've disappeared because we worked together." Creek said.
Branch nodded as the two continued flying and talking together, with Poppy and Smidge watching from behind.
"Poppy, do you think the dragon escape got them together?" Smidge asked.
"Close enough." Poppy shrugged.
