"Where are we going?!" Branch said, as he kept getting dragged by the queen.

"We're off to find your dream!"

"But weren't you going to take a break from queen stuff?"

"Yeah but, I mean..this is actually fun! I wouldn't really consider it as a queenly duty but if you'd like to then um...okay then-"

"How is this fun?"

"Because it's an adventure! I love adventures! And it kinda reminds me of hide and seek!"

"Adventure? Hide and seek?"

Poppy stopped running. "Yup! It's like...finding hidden memories! Do you remember anything from here?"

The two stopped at an art shop, where Harper was painting another one of her masterpieces.

"Oh, hey guys!" She greeted.

"Hey Harper! We're here to help find Branch's dream! And a few memories."

"Branch's-wait, BRANCH LOST HIS MEMORY?!"

"What-no!" Poppy and Branch said at the same time.

"Huh?"

"What I'm trying to say is, Branch had a dream that made him get..a somewhat nostalgic feeling and memories, and he wants to know what it is, so I'm helping him find something that'll remind him of both the dream and the memories! ...get it-"

"Ohhhhh! .......yeah I don't get it-"

tImE sKiP~

The two Trolls were walking down a valley of roses.

"Sooo...anything that reminds you of the dream?"

"Uhh...not really."

"Hm...what if you try sleeping again?"

"Wait what-"

"Maybe you'll get the same dream if you sleep! That's happened to me.....once in my life-BUT maybe it can happen to you too!"

"Poppy, that's impossible"

"Nothing's impossible, Branch"

"Hey, why don't we climb that very huge mountain?" Branch pointed to the vErY hUgE mountain.

"What? No, that's impossible!.....oh-"

"See-"

"Pff, that's more impossible than getting the same dream...well not really-BUT you know what I mean!"

"...."

"...."

"Yeah, I'm not sleeping."

aNoThEr tImE sKiP~

"This?" Poppy held a piece of grass.

"Um...you know, we've walked on that the whole time right?"

"Yeeees"

"So if that would've been apart of my dream then I would've already remembered-"

"Yeee-.....oh" Branch face palmed.

"Well..." Poppy bent down to look for something she thought could bring back the memory.

"Ooh! How about this? It's soooo cute!" Poppy held a gumdrop bunny (sO a bunny that's a gumdrop but that lives and is not food-PLS DON'T EAT LE GUMDROP BUNNY-). "Anything?"

"...nope.."

"Hmm...can you remember anything of your dream?"

"Uhh...I guess it was outside?"

"....."

"Yeah I know what doesn't help but I can't remember anything! It was weird, and sad..."

"Sad memories after your bunker days....hmm...." Poppy tried to remember all the memories she had had with Branch that made him sad.

"What about the time we talked about your-"

"After my bunker days....n-not before..."

"Oh..right, heh" Poppy smiled awkwardly.

"Maybeeee....the time when you almost lost Gary?"

"...nope"

"Or um....uhhh...I ran out of ideas-"

"Well, that beats it. I guess a won't be able to find that memory.."

"What? No! Branch, we're not giving up!" Poppy held his hands. "Let's try again. At least one more time?"

Branch sighed. "Fine...but if nothing works, then we'll just..let it go, okay?"

"EEIK!" Poppy dragged Branch to their next destination.

aNoThEr tImE sKiP~

"What aboooout...this!" Poppy and Branch were at the lagoon.

"...I don't remember..."

"Or this?" Poppy showed a sandcastle.

"Nope."

"Um...uhhh....tHiS?" Poppy held a bow.

"Um-"

"HEY!!! THAT'S MINE YOU LITTLE SON OF A-oh hey Poppy! Thanks for finding my precious bow!" Smidge took her bow from Poppy's hands and put it in her hair.

"....um...you're welcome-"

"Uhh yeah, that didn't help....you know we should just leave this here...it's not like it even mattered anyways.."

"What?! N-no! I....I really want to help you, Branch!"

"Poppy, we've tried everything, it's no use.."

Poppy sighed. "......well....I guess you're right. We've tried everything..."

Branch was pretty surprised. He never thought Poppy would give up on anything. Especially if it had to do with himself. And it was all his fault.

"P-Poppy...I-"

"I know what you're going to say, that why would I ever give up like that.."

"Well.."

"Sometimes you've taught me that maybe something should be left how it is, if you can't find a way to get to it" Branch's eyes widened. "Sooo I've decided to give up! I mean, if I wouldn't then you'd get mad anyways"

"Wait, but...you're not..disappointed or anything?"

"What?! Pff, of course not!....maybe a little bit but not that much"

"Oh..."

"Uhh, yeah anyways, why don't we get going?"

"...oh..well, okay then.." Poppy took his hand and started walking.

"Uhh...are you sure?" Branch asked, a little confused as to what was happening.

"Am I sure abooout...."

"Just...letting this go?"

"Oh, well yeah! Like I said before I kinda need to move on with some things"

"Really?"

"Of course!" Poppy stopped walking. "Oooh, what's this?" She picked up a birds nest. "Aww! A birds nest!"

Branch widened his eyes (aGaIn 👀) since he suddenly remembered a memory the dream had. "Wait...birds nest.."

Poppy turned around. "Huh?"

"Birds...it was...something about birds!"

She gasped. "So it was after your bunker days...not before.."

"Uhh...umm..."

"Think Branch, think!"

"Um...wait, Smidge's bow!"

"Wait wha-"

"I remember when she let me borrow it...and it had to do with birds! I just...I can't remember-"

"Wait!" Branch looked up at her.

"Are you taking about your three birds you raised?" Branch gasped.

"....I-I remember now!"
