-At The Bunker-

"Okay guys, I think we can do it." Branch said holding up a crystal ball. "Um, exactly what is that?" Barb asked. "It's a portal opener." "Ooh" Both Barb and Poppy said in unison. "All we have to do now, is just hop in the portal." Branch threw the ball down and opened a portal. "Um yeah, Im not going in there." Barb scoffed. "Oh yes you are." Branch said Pushing Barb in as he looked over at Poppy. "Ladies first?" He asked. Poppy smiled "Such a gentleman." Poppy hopped in the portal with Branch. Poppy grabbed branch's hand and floated to the middle with Barb. "Okay, so which one do we go in?" Barb asked. "I don't know there's so many." Poppy said. "We'll just have to try each one." Branch said. "Each one?" Poppy said. "Until we find Essence, yes."

They all floated into a random portal and ended up on an deserted island. "Oh, great. An island." Barb said annoyed. "Yeah, I don't think essence would be here, Think we should try another portal?" Poppy asked. "Heh, Actually about that." Branch said nervously. "We can only travel into different portals every 24 hours." "What!?" Poppy and Barb yelled. "Yeah, I forgot to mention that part." He sighed. "Great, now were on a stranded island with no food, Or water, Or shelter!" Barb yelled. "Who told ya that?" Branch asked. Barb turned around raising an eyebrow. "Oh thats right. I forgot you were a survivalist that lives under a rock." She sighed. "Hey, Were gonna be fine guys." Poppy said. "Yeah, She's right. If we stick together things can work out." Barb said. "Im not so sure about that Barb." Branch scoffed. "Just because we don't get along together Branch, doesn't mean you can ruin every damn thing." She yelled. "Well maybe you shouldn't turn people into rock zombies!" Branch yelled back. "It wasn't my fault!" Barb yelled clenching her fists. "You guys! Stop fighting, we need to make a fire. Its almost dark." Poppy said. "Alright, Barb, go find some rocks, Ill try to start the fire." Branch said looking around for some dry wood as he felt a few sprinkles drop on his arm. "Oh no, that can't be good." He said grabbing some sticks and leaves.

"Poppy! Is Barb back yet?" He asked. "Um, I see her over there" She pointed. "Why?" "Because it's starting to rain." He said worried. "We have to get this fire started quickly." Branch tried making sparks with his peice of wood, but it was too wet. "Aw Shoot." He sighed. "Hey guys! I found a cave we could stay in until the storm wears off!" Barb yelled running towards them. "Oh good." Branch and Poppy sighed. "Now, Come on! Its gonna start pouring in a few." Barb said as thunder rumbled across the sky.

As they reached the cave, Branch had made a sleeping bag for Barb and Poppy. "Here, Get some rest." Branch said handing the sleeping bags. "Branch?" Poppy asked. "Yeah?" He replied. "Are you going to sleep?" She walked up to him. "I uh, Yeah." He lied. Poppy could tell he was really tired. She grasped his hand "Come on, Im not letting you go anywhere." She said looking at Barb who was already snoring. "You can sleep with me, If you don't mind." She blushed. "Of course." He smiled sitting down next to her. As they got comfortable, they turned towards eachother still blushing. "Poppy?" "Yeah Branch?" "I love you." He said softly. "I love you too." She smiled while wrapping her arms around him while snuggling her face into his chest, falling fast asleep.
