note: please review, why don't i see comments.
Early the next day, Poppy was just out trying to look if anybody was awake. She didn't saw anybody so she got back to her pod.
Back at her pod, she saw Branch whispering with the snack pack. "Hey guys what are you up to?" Poppy said feeling left out. "Nothing, just a normal day in the village with my friends" Branch said sweating. "Uhu, I thought you didn't have friends... Burn" Poppy said before laughing. Branch got a little hurt by her words, Poppy realizes that "Branch sorry I didn't mean to-" Poppy said as she was cut off. "No, It's okay, you're right Poppy" He said as he blinked at Guy Diamond wich Poppy didn't notise.
Branch walked out still wounded from last night. Poppy followed him to his bunker. "Hey let me help with what ever I can" Poppy said with a conserned face. "No, it's okay" Branch said. "Come on Branch just let me in, if you just let me in, I might just help you" Poppy said running nearer to Branch. "No thanks Poppy, I can handle myself" Branch said looking at the ground while he stops. "Oh come on, lets go to the village, it's no fun in the forest, only danger" She said to Branch. "NO! I mean don't go to the village yet, they havn't feinish it yet" Branch said as he realized what he just said. "Finish what?" Poppy asked. "Nothing just come to my house first, maybe for an hour" Branch said nervous. "What? You, are inviting me to your house?" She said as she blushed a little. "Yeah" Branch said rubbing the back of his neck.
They got to the bunker. "So, what do you wanna do?" Poppy asked smiling. "Nothing, if I weren't wounded, I would be collecting some supplies" Branch said. "How about... this, is what exactly?" Poppy asked holding an aritfact from what the bunker was, it was the place of the ancients. "That is a magic fun metal" Branch said pointing to the two PSPs. "Wanna play?" Branch asked. "Sure, so how do you play?" Poppy asked as Branch teaches the mechanics of the thing.
They played a Super Mario Bros game. "So I'll run to the goal check point to win the team wich consist of you and me while you stay at behinde me and shoot using your fire powers okay?" Poppy nodded to What Branch said. They played and just before Branch playing as Luigi was about to reach the check point, Mario was in trouble. "Go win this" Poppy said. "No" a simple word came out of Branch's mouth nad he tried to save Mario instead just after Luigi got hit by Bowser, the time ran out nad GAME OVER.
"Why did you made us lose, I hate losing" Poppy asked punching Branch's arm. "Simple, to save you" Branch replied. "Aw thanks Brachie" Poppy said. And there's that name again, I swear if Poppy say it another time, I'll-. He was cut off by Poppy leaning forwards to kiss him. It was just for 7 seconds but to the couple, it felt like an enternity. "Poppy! why?!" Branch shouted. "I-I don't know, but... It felt good, right?" Poppy said. "Sorry, sorry, I promise I won't do that again" Poppy finished her sentence while she crossed her fingers behind her.
"Come on let's get back to the village" Branch said as Poppy nodded.
As they got to the village Poppy saw glitters everywhere and a gigantic ribbon that has something written. "Suprise!, happy birthday Poppy" everyone cheered. "OMG it's my birthday?!" she asked exitedly. "Yes, and I'm only here to show my gratitude for all you have done for my, thankyou, Poppy" Branch said blushing as Poppy blushed after him. "I've been the distraction for them to set everything up to be perfect" Branch said.
After the party, Poppy was out the door while everyone passing by greeted her last happybirthday. "Sorry, everyone else seem to have given you gifts, except me" Branch said griefing. "Don't worry Branch-" She said as she got closer and closer to him, then she whispered, "The kiss was already enough" She said kissing Branch's cheeks. Creek saw them and decided to make Branch look more discusting for her to repel not attract.
That night, when Branch was asleep, he hugged a little present with a sign for Poppy. She opened the box with a half heart necklace then she noticed Branch was wearing one. There was another note
So hey I felt bad fo leaving you without a proper present so there and here's another poem
"Magnets and Boomerangs"
Other people I meet, I always repel
I'm in love with you like I'm under a spell
Helping me is a beautiful act
Is it true opposites attract
I always push you away from me
But always come back and never leave me be
Like a magnet, we attract
Like a boomerang, you come back
- your number one Grump
note: sorry again if it's weird and sorry if it's a bit short. love you bye.
