As Branch, Poppy and the snack pack were walking back to Doc's house too get Branch's medicine, it started to get late. Poppy noticed everybody yawning, including herself and Branch. "Hey guys, you can go home and sleep if you want." Everybody felt bad for leaving but they were so tired, they agreed and thanked Poppy for letting them go.

"Come on Branch, its time for your medicine." He groaned and nodded. Creek walked quietly behind them, making sure he wasn't seen. He saw Branch's medicine on the window sill. "Now's my chance." He spoke quietly. "Sadly this wears off but it will give Branch what he deserves." He poured some of the liquid from the bottle he had in his hand, into Branch's medicine. The liquid he poured into the medicine reacts badly with thistle thorn poison. "I need to get back to my cage.... uh I mean THE cage before people get suspicious." He ran back before anyone noticed he was gone.

Doc handed Branch the medicine. "That's disgusting!!" "It will help." The doctor said positively. "Time to go, you need your rest." Poppy said to Branch who looked extremely tired. She brought him back home and up the ramp some trolls built for Branch. Once into his house, it was an awkward process getting Branch off the wheel chair and into bed, but they did it. "Rest and you'll get better." Poppy said calmly. "Thank you Poppy, I love you." Branch replied. "I love you too, good night." "Good night Poppy." She waved and closed the door and went home to sleep.

The next day

Early the next morning. Branch woke up with a really bad headache and pain in his leg. He couldn't get back to sleep and since it was 6 in the morning, he decided to get up. Using all his strength, he got out of bed and hopped into his wheel chair. He decided to go and get some water. "I thought that medicine was supposed to help." Branch said while holding his forehead. "Guess I should go and get some fresh air."

Now that it was 7:30, he needed to ask Doc how the medicine works and why is this happening. Using all his strength, he rolled outside on his wheel chair and down the ramp. He started to get dizzy and wobble around in his wheel chair. He kept his eyes open and saw Poppy come outside. Even though it hurt his head, he still yelled for her help and she heard his stressed voice. Poppy looked up and saw him almost falling of the ramp. "BRANCH?!" She jumped up using her hair too help her, she got up just in time to help him get steady.

"What are you doing out here? You should be resting!" Said worried and angry. "That stupid medicine isn't working. My head hurts like crazy and the pain in my leg has gotten worse." He said with heavy breathes. Poppy knew what she had too do. She took him over to the doctor's house. Once they got there and even Doc was surprised.

"I thought the medicine would help?" He asked in pain. Doc was confused as well. He took a sample of Branch's blood and checked it. "Someone put a chemical in Branch's medicine while I wasn't watching. This chemical reacts violently with thistle thorn poison, that's what's happening too Branch." Poppy and Branch looked at each other nervously. "All we need to do is make sure he's resting, eating healthy and not moving around too much. It will wear off soon."

They understood and were sad that Branch wasn't getting much better. "He can go around the village he just must be careful and gets lots of warm love from his friends." Doc told Poppy. Just then, Poppy needed to ask a question. "Where was the medicine yesterday?" She asked Doc. "On the window sill." He replied. She walked over to the window sill and found some hair.....blue with green tips. "Creek?"

Poppy immediately ran over to Creek. She looked around the corner and saw Creek holding a bottle and some keys. "CREEK!!" He jumped at the sound of her yelling voice. She shook her head and knew what she would do. "Your going to have too babysit someone for me." Creek just laughed at her, which seemed too be, pathetic punishment. "Whatever, who is it." He asked not scared. "Barney." "Who's that?" "King Gristle's pet alligator." She just smiled and watched Creek's shocked face. "After that, your going to build a tower on the top of the troll tree. By. Your. Self." And she just walked away.

She went back too get her friends. They were just going to have lunch on the Town Mushroom. Poppy and her friends went to get Branch from Doc's place. Poppy and DJ Suki helped Branch onto his wheel chair. After his REAL medicine, he got a hit of strength so he took that chance too learn how to push his wheel chair successfully by himself. They got to the Town Mushroom.

"Let me guess.....Creek?" Branch asked not surprised. "Yep." Poppy replied with a smile. "Why is that a good thing?" Branch asked confused. "Tomorrow, Creek is going too be having a playdate with Barney." They all burst out laughing. Poppy's smile went away when she heard Branch whimpering. She saw him holding his knee. Obviously he was in pain. Poppy got up and walked over to Branch. "And hopefully, his punishment is worse than it seems." She said with a smile. Poppy hugged Branch and he hugged her back.

Branch was having such a fun time, he didn't want to ruin it. So he blocked out the pain and had a fun time. After this, their going too watch Creek's playdate with Barney. All this joy made him feel better. But after, Branch is going to do something he has been wanting too do for a long time.
