I know, I know, I didn't update yesterday. Don't kill me! I think that not having a set time, like every night, is doing anyone good. It stresses me out and it causes me writers block, so I am changing it back to ust updating daily, not necessarily at a certain time. I hope that is fine with you guys! :)

Samantha Peace HeartStar- Thanks, I am so glad! I hope I am doing a little better with the fluff, this chapter couldn't have as much as I had wanted sadly. Also, sure, go ahead! That is fine to name their son AJ, I just feel like that is a good name for their kids. :D

Kitten345218- Awe, thanks, I am so glad! XD I am sure she is a good writer but I try to update daily.

BananaQUEEN13- Haha, yeah. I always thought that would be a cool idea, to say Poppy was never in love with Creek but tried to convince herself, and thank you! I try to be, I am one wild card, one ball of mystery! Yes, I have been called those things before. Also the innocent friend.. Yay! XD Also, thanks. I don't really think I will use that though, cause it honestly has so many things that could go wrong. The pod could fall, another troll could claim their baby. I just think I will stick to a pregnancy, I don't know yet, but thanks for the info! It definitely is appreciated!

FandomsAreLoveFandomsAreLife- Yup, exactly. I honestly thought it would be a cool way to show you all that the love isn't one sided since most of the time it is from Branch's perspective. That is just the way I roll. I am an evil, evil girl!

ThePokemonTroll21- Yup, but just you wait! Maybe she will be, or maybe she is gone for good, and you shall see the owner of the voice once you finish reading my replies. Haha!

Animal Girl1507- I am confused, what girl since Dreamworks owns it? I don't know what you mean? Sorry. Thanks, and that seems to be what everyone thinks too! :)

OMG you guys! Over 5,600 views! Already! Wow, guys, this is literally a dream come true, thank you so much! I never expected to get 200, let alone over 5,000! Thank you so much! :D

From nowhere, another note dropped, down to ten lines.

You mustn't survive!

"It might be sooner than you all expect." They all turned, shellshocked, at the owner of the voice.

"Biggie?!" Poppy exclaimed at the dark blue troll, clinging on to Branch's arm tightly, as he resisted the urge to both kiss Poppy again and punch the innocent member of the Snack Pack, who didn't no longer seem as innocent.

He protectively pushed his family behind him and made sure there was no way of them being harmed by his friend, whom seemed to have gone completely wacko.

Why the heck is everyone close to us being so.. evil? Everyone who we thought we could trust. I mean, why the heck are they?

He charged at him with a sword that had been hanging on the wall, butting him in the forehead, causing him to crumple to the ground.

"You shouldn't've done that!" Branch turned to the angelic voices of Satin and Chenille, who were coming towards him slowly. His expression faltered. His grandmother had always raised him to never, no matter the circumstance, hit a girl, unless they attack first. He had to wait for them to hurt him, and they had shotguns. It was an unfair fight, but he had to listen to his grandmum!

He stood his ground, bracing for impact. What he didn't expect was to feel someone falling down towards him, which he avoided the body, as the hand of Chenille lightly touched his toe.

He got to work, quickly gagging and tying up Satin, as Chenille had touched him, whilst threatening him. Poppy had knocked the twin unconscious, but Branch took no chances and tied her too with the rope, too much of it lying around the floors of Lavender's place.

He hauled the girls over his shoulder, making sure the others were following. Creek, AJ, and Poppy followed, Creek tugging on the ropes of Biggie, struggling to keep up with the angry survivalist. The lack of sleep was catching up with the other three, but Branch had gotten used to working without sleep.

They finally got to the castle, dropping off the loads. Branch thanked Creek for his help in sign language, but he didn't understand.

"Bro, why are you blowing me a kiss!?" Creek seemed freaked out, Branch rolling his eyes until they landed on Poppy, and she nodded in understanding, peels of laughter coming from her mouth.

"He is saying thank you in sign language. I already told him that it is almost like blowing a kiss, it's funny. He didn't like that, though."

"Yeah, we are learning sign language because he doesn't have the best handwriting." AJ clarified, earning a few eyebrows up and an eyeroll from Branch.

None of them realised that Chenille had stirred, and together they launched their hair at Branch, choking him. He tried to fight it off, but it was AJ who finally got them off as his face had become a deathly pale white from lack of oxygen.

Poppy curled her fingers around her palm, creating a fist, and punched Satin in the face before tying their hair up too. "I thought you were friends. Why have you turned? We risked our lives to save yours. I thought we were friends for life!" Her face became a real red out of anger, steadying her breathing. "I guess I was wrong."

"You naive, naive Poppy." Chenille cooed before making a yodeling noise and a window was shattered.

"Police? Oh, thank goodness! These people here were kidnapping us! Hey, hey Officer Sharon? Hello?"

"You are really naive, Poppy. Too naive. You see, I don't work for you, I work for the enemy." The police officer held onto a struggling AJ, who bit onto his hand, keeping his mouth latched. He had been training, though, and began fighting Branch one handed, who had grabbed a whisk in his hurry and had to fight of a dagger. He used the holes to his advantage. He trapped the point in between two wires, twisting the hand as Creek snuck up from behind with a frying pan; he swung it at his head and the police officer was knocked out the window, taking Branch with him.

He grabbed onto the window seal and the police officer grabbed his ankle in a shear attempt to survive. He kicked him off, and the officer couldn't get his hair out in time and he shattered against the ground as he heaved himself back over.

"Wow, man, great job." Branch was breathing heavily as Creek complimented him, AJ clinging to Creek's leg.

"Thank you, Uncle Creek." Creek picked AJ up and hugged him tight, loving this little boy he had adopted as a nephew.

"Branch and I couldn't have done it without you!" They all hugged, before locking the other three in a cell in the dungeon that Lavender was locked in, currently asleep.

Branch picked up a note, hastily written, that stuck out of Biggie's hair. It only took up six lines now.

You may think you are all that, but trust me Branch when I say you won't always have family to lean on. You cannot live through this.

They all tried to shrug off the note, Poppy finally thinking of the perfect solution. "Hey guys! Wanna go down the bakery? It's on me!" They all thought how good that sounded. The baker, Cookie, was so sweet she had to have been made of pure sugar. They all got there, and ate their delicious cakes and bread, fresh from the oven.

Poppy left a huge tip, despite Cookie's protests, the light pink troll blushing furiously at the shower of compliments thrown her way.

"Thanks." she blushed furiously.

They walked off to the castle, hoping to be able to spend a little time together, leaving the note on the counter.

"I sure love you guys." AJ told them.

"We love you too." Poppy planted a kiss on his cheek, and they all smiled at the setting sun.

Yes, I know it is kind of shorter than usual, but it is only because I am trying to change the schedule around so it is a little confusing. So sorry! Thanks so much for reading, and stay tuned! Love you all!
