A.N. Another chapter for all my lovely readers! Sorry for the wait, I was having a bit of trouble with inspiration. And I loved your reactions to the last chapter, just so you know.

DISCLAIMER: TROLLS BELONGS TO DREAMWORKS!

The trip down to Branch's place was mostly uneventful, aside from Suki stopping a few times to steady herself and Branch looking at her worriedly.

"I'm fine," she would assure him each time.

The survivalist didn't look convinced, but Suki was adamant.

Eventually they DID get to the mini-bunker, and Branch was crushed by the sight of his beloved.

"Oh, Poppy..." he murmured, stroking her bright pink hair.

She used to never be able to keep a straight face when he did so, but now she was completely unresponsive.

Branch looked up.

"Smidge, I need you to get another wet cloth to try and keep her fever at bay. I'm going to call Dr. Plum on my bellflower."

"Wait a minute! You have a BELLFLOWER?!" the Snack Pack asked incredulously.

"Uh...yes?" said Branch, not knowing why they were acting this way.

In their world, the trolls used special flowers known as bellflowers as phones.

They looked a bit like a bluebell, but each one had two parts; one to talk through, another to listen through.

To connect to someone else, the caller has to simply state the name of the recipient.

Being a relatively new invention (created by none other than Mandy Sparkledust herself,) not many trolls had one.

Anyway, back to the story.

"Suki risked getting as bad as Poppy by going into the storm-" started Satin.

"-when she could've just called Peppy's house!" finished Chenille.

"I'm sorry, okay?! It must've slipped my mind until now. I was caring for you too, so can you blame me?" shot back Branch.

"Anyway, this isn't about me, and we're wasting time. Smidge, do as I say, while I talk to Plum."

He walked away, and went over to his bellflower.

"Dr. Plum Plimsy," he spoke into the mouth piece.

There was a few seconds of dialtone, but soon it connected.

"Dr. Plum's Hospital Pod, this is Plum speaking."

"Hello, doctor? This is Branch."

"Why, hello Branch! What's your medical need today?"

"Well, actually, it's not me. It's Poppy."

"Queen Poppy? What's she doing there?"

"It's not just her, it's also the Snack Pack. They ended up getting the flu from being in the downpour outside, and went to me for shelter and assistance. While most of them are fine now, Poppy's fever spiked and Suki ended up risking her health coming to get me from Peppy's pod. I was wondering if you might come over and take a look at them."

"No problem! I'll see you in the next few minutes?"

"Sure, that's fine."
"Okay then! Bye."

"Bye."

Branch hung up and went back over to the group.

"Okay, Dr. Plum's going to be here in around five minutes, so be sure to keep out of her way while she's examining Poppy."

The Snack Pack nodded their consent, and the teal troll turned to Suki.

"I also told her to examine you too. Better safe than sorry, right?"

"I guess..." the DJ mumbled.

Her face looked more flushed than usual, though only Branch could see it due to his sharp eye.

"Okay, you DEFINITELY need to sit down now..." said the concerned survivalist.

He led her back to her armchair, and the next few minutes passed in silence until the telltale knock on the door.
