Chapter 10 - I Won't Let You Down

Poppy snuck back into Bridget's apartment. Bridget was still asleep on the couch. She sneaked into the kitchen where she pushed out a mug, poured in some coffee beans, milk, and of course, the mushrooms. She used her hair to pick up the mug and slowly walked over to Bridget. She placed the mug on the table using her hair. She then tried to wake up Bridget. She nudged the bergen's knee and she woke up. "Huh what?" Bridget said as she woke up. She looked around and looked down. She saw the troll. "What are you doing here?" Bridget said in an angry voice. Poppy didn't say anything. She just walked up slowly with teary eyes, and hugged Bridget's leg as tightly as possible. Sobbing in the process too. This put Bridget in a whole new perspective. Sure, She and Gristle weren't in the best situation at the moment, but that didn't mean that she could take her anger out on Poppy. Someone who needs her, who loves her, who means a lot to. She picked up the little troll and hugged it back. "I'm sorry I threw you. I was just angry." Bridget said in a soft voice. Poppy smiled. She pointed towards the mug of coffee. "Aw, you made me this. That's sweet." Bridget complemented before taking a sip. "Ugh. That's some weird coffee. What did you put in this?" She asked. Poppy pulled out the bag of mushrooms and showed Bridget. The mushrooms that were in her coffee for taking an effect. "Did you... DID YOU DRUG MY COFFEE?!" Bridget asked in an angry voice before picking up the troll again and was about to throw her. But, Bridget heard a voice screaming "PLEASE DON'T! NOT AGAIN!" It was Poppy's. The mushrooms had done there job. Bridget gasped. "You... You can talk?" Bridget asked in confusion. "Yes! I can! It's the mushrooms. They make you understand us." Poppy explained as she calmed down. "How?" Bridget asked. "It's something to do with a spell. And the mushrooms broke it." Poppy explained with a bit of fear still in her voice. "Oh." Bridget replied. "So... can you like uh... Put me down? Please?" Poppy asked. "Oh yea. Right." Bridget said putting the troll down. "And listen, i'm sorry I threw you. Just because me and Gristle are fighting doesnt mean I can take my anger out on you. I bet Gristle doesnt treat Branch as bad a I treated you." Bridget said depressingly. "You can say that again." Poppy said to herself quietly. "What?" Bridget misheard. "Nothing. Listen, I know you and Gristle have problems, but me and Branch want to fix that." Poppy explained. "No way! I'm not going back with him." Bridget replied coldly. "Bridget please! I'll do anything!" Poppy begged with the dreaded puppy eyes. Bridget couldn't bear anyone with those eyes. "Ugh. Fine. I'll give you and Branch 2 weeks to get him and I back to how we used to be." Bridget agreed. "Yes! Yes Thank you! I won't let you down." Poppy yelled out in happiness. "I'll go talk to Branch. You stay here." She added before running off... and coming back to take the mushrooms and going again.
