A/N: Hey guys. Sorry I haven't put anything up in a while. I've been super busy. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Using her ring, Poppy read Branch's mind to find the secret lever to open the bunker, Poppy began to head down to meet her love. She walked to his room. She wanted to be there when he awoke. She crawled next to him and lightly kissed his forehead. She watched as his eyes fluttered open. Those icy blue eyes she loves so much.

"Morning handsome." She said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Morning gorgeous. I missed you. How was hanging out with the Snack Pack?" He asked before kissing his beautiful pink princess.

"Good. I told them about us. I was a nervous wreck, but they supported me, except Creek, who apparently has had a crush on me for a long time. Did you know about that?" She responded.

"Yeah it was pretty obvious." He answered. "Before we got together, I always thought that you two would end up together."

"Really? Cause that never occurred to me. You are the only one for me." She said as she blushed.

"You're the only one for me too Popps. I'm so in love with you. And so unbelievably happy that you are my soulmate." He said as his cheeks flushed a slightly darker blue.

"You're so cute when you blush." She said as she began to giggle.

"Not as cute as you." He said back as he picked her up and spun her around playfully as she continued to giggle unconTROLLably. (A/N: I won't apologize for my humor even if it is stupid.)

"Hey, Poppy... I umm, I wanted to do something for you. Something to show you how much you mean to me." Branch said in that serious voice of his.

"Okay Branch. What is it?" She responded, excited because she knew what he was thinking.

He took a deep breath and stared into her eyes. Her gorgeous magenta eyes that always gave him strength. And then, after two decades of silencing his voice, he sang. He sang to her, for her. To show her that he loved her with all his heart. To show her that she is and always will be his one true love. His everything.

You're a falling star, you're the get-away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby, don't pretend that you don't know it's true.
'Cause you can see it when I look at you.

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my every day.

And I can't believe, uh, that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you, baby, just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah, we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're every song,
And I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.

Poppy had started crying almost as soon as the song had started. They were tears of joy. She finally got to hear the voice of her one true love. It was angelic. She could tell it was a voice that would perfectly harmonize with her own.

"I love you Poppy. So much. Thank you for everything. You make me so incredibly happy. I'm sorry I was mean to you for so long." Branch said.

"I love you too Branch. You are forgiven. No matter what you are always forgiven. I am yours forever." Poppy said.

"And I am yours forever." Branch said as he pulled her into a loving kiss.

"Hey, so I was wondering if we could maybe go hang out with the Snack Pack tomorrow? I know they always made fun of you, but their my friends, and they're being very supportive of us. Please?" She plead.

"Of course my love. Anything for you. You know I can't resist those pleading eyes." He responded.

"Yay!" She squealed excitedly as a beautiful smile crept from ear to ear.

"You're so adorable Popps." He chuckled to himself. Oh, how he loved that smile.

"Shhhhh. Lets just snuggle and go to sleep. I just want to feel your arms around me. I love feeling your heartbeat against my back. Feeling your warmth." She said.

"I am so madly in love with you Poppy. I know its kinda early to think about this, but I just can't wait to marry you. You are the love of my life and my everything." He said as he lay down next to her. "You are perfect for me and I wouldn't change a thing about you. You are beautiful inside and out."

They fell asleep cuddling as they whispered sweet nothings to each other and softly kissed each other. It was amazing to both of them how their bodies seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces.

In the morning they awoke simultaneously. Poppy, full of energy as ever, dragged the still not quite awake Branch to get ready. Once they had gotten ready for the day Branch and Poppy went to Poppy's house to speak with her father.

"Good morning, Your Highness." Branch said a bit nervous as he bowed.

"Get up Branch," King Peppy said, "You're going to be my son in law one day, you can drop the formalities."

This made both Branch and Poppy blush like crazy, which made King Peppy laugh, which just made them blush even more. Then, Peppy brought them both into a big hug.

"So where are you two lovebirds off to today?" The king asked. The king's approval of Branch made him feel much more relaxed.

"We're going to hang out with the Snack Pack." Poppy answered, happy to see Branch was much less nervous.

"Alright, well you two have fun. You take care of her Branch. Don't let anything happen to my little girl." The king said as he shook Branch's hand.

"Wouldn't dream of it sir. She's safe with me, I promise. No harm will ever come to her." Branch responded, matter-of-factly.

"Good man." The king said as he waved goodbye to them.

When they met with the Snack Pack, they all walked up to Branch and apologized for how they had always made fun of him. Well all except Creek. This made Branch feel much better, and Poppy could feel his joy at being accepted by the Snack Pack.

"Branch, you're teal," Chenille started.

"That's so awesome." Satin said, finishing her sister's sentence.

"So how are you liking being in a relationship?" Guy asked as he held DJ.

"It's the best. Especially because it's with the love of my life." Branch said as he looked lovingly at Poppy.

All the Snack Pack, except Creek, oooed and awwwwwed at this. They were glad that Branch seemed to be very good to Poppy, and they could all see how happy he made her, and vice versa.

"So, Poppy what did you mean the other day when you said you could feel Branch waking up?" Biggie asked.

"Yeah, girl, that was pretty weird." DJ said.

"Well I've all told you guys about the princess's rings for her and her true love, right?" She began to explain.

"Yeah." They all said.

"Well what I didn't tell you is that it telepathically it's wearers." She said.

"What? No way!" said Smidge.

"Yes way," Poppy said, "Branch write down the first thing you think and give it to them. Don't let me see." Poppy said as she handed him some of her scrap booking materials.

First Branch showed all the Snack Pack that the paper was completely blank. He then wrote down "Pink" and handed the paper to the Snack Pack.

Without explanation, Poppy simply said "Pink."

They were all stunned. After that they all talked and had lunch together. Creek stayed silent through most of it. He lagged behind when the rest of the Snack Pack left.

Once they were gone he just looked at Poppy and said "Why him?"

She simply said "The heart wants what it wants."

He began to get angry and marched towards Branch. "I challenge you to a duel for Poppy's love." He said.

"We aren't fighting over her. She is her own woman and it is her choice. Not mine, and definitely not yours." Branch said.

At this remark Creek swung a punch at Branch, which Branch dodged with ease.

"Creek, stop this at once." Poppy plead.

"No! He doesn't deserve you!" Creek yelled pushing her to the ground to get to Branch.

"Okay now you're asking for it. No one, and I mean NO ONE does that to the love of my life." Branch threatened. Creek kept coming at him. Branch was done messing around. No more just dodging. He was going to teach Creek a lesson.

Creek rushed at him, Branch simply pushed his arm out of the way, and punched Creek straight in the nose.

"Had enough yet?" Branch taunted. But, Creek got back up. Branch delivered a swift kick to Creek's side, sending him hurling to the ground, out of breath.

"NEVER HURT HER AGAIN. YOU HEAR ME?" Branch yelled as he went to Poppy and helped her up.

"I know he's your friend, but I couldn't let him get away with that." Branch said, trying to sound apologetic, even though he was very proud of what he'd done.

"It's okay. I know you're just protective of me because you love me." She said.

"Let's go back to the bunker, okay?" Branch asked.

"That sounds great." Poppy responded.

"Hey, so this might be a little weird and too early, but you've spent the last couple nights here, and that's been amazing. Is it too much for me to ask you to move in with me?" He asked awkwardly.

She just wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered "Of course I'll move in with you Branchie. I love you."

"I love you too!" He yelled as he energetically picked her up and rapidly kissed her over and over again.
