Chapter 7
(Branch gets out of the tent and panics but his mind is so overwhelmed he doesn't see poppy walking towards and knocks right into her)
Branch: oh my gosh poppy! (Helps her up) I'm so sorry!
Poppy: (rubs her head) it's ok Branch...
Branch: are you hurt?
Poppy: no I'm ok...what's wrong?
Branch: I saw you weren't there and I thought something happened to you
Poppy: Aw, don't worry Branch I'm ok
Branch: well you were until I bumped into you anyways (laughs) where'd you go?
Poppy: I was getting berries...here (hands him some)
Branch: (teases her) these aren't the kind that make you blow up are they?
Poppy: oh please Branch...I checked trust me I learned my lesson from last time
Branch: I gotta say you've come a long way about nature poppy dear, seems like yesterday I was saving you from hungry spiders
Poppy: (teases him) yeah well that was part of my plan
Branch: yeah right...(yawns)
Poppy: someone's tired...did you not sleep well?
Branch: no not really...to tell you the truth I don't enjoy sleeping...I just end up having bad dreams
Poppy: about what?
Branch: (changes the subject) hey no time for questions if you want to get to the old tunnels we better go now
(Poppy shakes head, she wishes Branch would open up more but she knows she can't force it, after all he just started being a happy blue troll, they start walking to find the tunnels)
Poppy: I hope we find it soon...
Branch: so soon? I'm quite enjoying this adventure with you (smirks)
Poppy: oh you know what I meant
Branch: I just think it's nice to do something different...I mean singing, dancing, hugging is good but if it's done so often...it wouldn't be as special
Poppy: huh..I never thought of it like that before
Branch: but it's always special with you even if it's everyday (smiles)
Poppy: Aww branch (smiles)
(Just as they were leaning in to kiss their lips touched a too familiar hand)
Cloud guy: hey hey it's you guys again
Branch: back to interrupt one of our moments again I see?
Cloud guy: interrupt? I didn't interrupt I just remembered you still owed me a high five but now that I found you guys...I say we hug
Branch: uh no thanks we're good
Cloud guy: (laughs) different color yet same personality
Branch: (rolls his eyes)
Cloud guy: so what'd you guys doing in the middle of the forest? Your honeymoon?
Branch: what? No! We're not even married!
Cloud guy: well what'd you waiting for? she's a pretty troll
(Branch starts blushing like crazy but poppy just laughs, not fazed by what cloud guy's saying)
Branch: well for your information we're on an adventure
Cloud guy: (laughs) oh branch don't be embarrassed, you don't have to pretend you're not on your honeymoon!
Branch: but we're not! (Stops for a second) why do I get the feeling you're doing this on purpose?
Cloud guy: (laughs) because it's so funny to see your reactions!
Poppy: (laughs a little) it is pretty funny Branch
Cloud guy: now how about that hug?
Branch: right...like I'd do that
Cloud guy: I'll stop giving you a hard time if you do
Branch: (rolls his eyes and sighs) fine...and now because I care what you say...but because we're on a right schedule (holds out his arms and cloud guy acts like he's gonna hug him but hold him in a headlock and messes up his hair)
Cloud guy: (dies laughing) well that never gets old...have fun on the rest of your honeymoon...(walks off)
Branch: (rolls his eyes and fixes his hair) I swear sometimes I don't like that cloud
Poppy: well it was a little funny
Branch: (teases her) ha-ha I'm glad you thought so
Poppy: well since it was brought up what do you think about it?
Branch: (confused) about what?
Poppy: me and you getting married?
Branch: (blushes really hard) um...
