Chapter 11

Berry: (eyes go wide) B-Branch?

Branch: congrats you remember your own son

Berry: how could I not remember you?

Branch: gee I don't know after what you said after grandma died I assumed you'd want to forget your horrible son

Berry: branch you can't possibly mean that, that was 20 years ago...I thought you were dead

Branch: I thought you were too...

Berry: wait...(looks at poppy) are you princess poppy?

Poppy: well...it's queen poppy now...

Berry: you're so grown up and so are you Branch...what happened that day? Where have you been?

Branch: living under a bunker preparing for another Bergen attack

(He tells the story of the Bergen adventure and how they all became friends)

Berry: (laughs) well Branch actually stuck to a promise not to sing...I didn't know you could make up a song like that...so that means...you two are..

Branch: yes we're together

Berry: oh..

Branch: why is that such a surprise to you?

Berry: well it's just that...she's the queen so...I'm sure one day you'll be king and I don't think you could handle that...I mean as a kid you were...

Branch: you don't know what I've been through! You weren't there for me! That was the choice you decided when you drove me away! Because of you I was grey for 20 years! You might be my mother but you don't know me at all

Berry: (stands there in shock)

Branch: now if you'll excuse us we actually have an adventure that's important

Berry: but branch? I..

Branch: Its too late...you should've said something 20 years ago (storms off with poppy following)

Poppy: branch what were you thinking?! That's your mom! This could be your chance to have your family again!

Branch: I don't care, this adventure isn't about me...it's about you

Poppy: but I want you to be happy too

Branch: if she never made me happy before...what makes you think she'll make me happy now?

(Poppy doesn't say anything and they go through the tunnels in search for any clues)

(Back at the tree)

(Berry looks at a old family picture of her, branch's father, and Branch when he was just a baby...they had been such a happy family till Leif died. She started to cry. Branch was all she had left and he just pushed her away. But than realization struck...she had treated him the way when he was a kid. Why had she been so stupid? Why had she not been there for him? Well she was here now)

Berry: (in her head) I have to make things right...I already lost my son once I'm not gonna lose him again (she got down from the tree and stood outside the tunnels, she knew she was gonna have to follow them but she was so hesitant, after a moment of fearing the worst she finally went in to search for poppy and Branch)
