~Down In The Bunker~

Coming Down The Elevator, Branch Quickly Went Into His Bunker, Gathering The Stuff He Needed To Move, Like King Peppy's Orders.

"Alright Branch, Trollstopia Isn't Safe Anymore Thanks To These So Called Trolliens, So Take Only What You Need"
Branch Told Himself.

Branch Grabbed His Giant Travel Bag From His Shelf And Began Putting Stuff In It Rapidly.

"Clothes! Shorts! Journal! Crocko! Jacuzzi Speedo! Night Light! Toothbrush! OOH! MY STRESS BLANKIE"
Branch Pointed All Out.

"Hmmm...What Else...OH YEAH! FIRST AID KIT! OF COURSE! Safety First Always!"
Branch Grabbed His First Aid Kit.

Branch Tapped His Chin.
"Okaaay Annnd...GARY! GAAAH HOW COULD I FORGET"

Branch Went To His Private Shelf.
"Okay Gary! We Gotta Move Out So Let's-"

Before Branch Could Grab Gary, He Glanced At A Photo Of Him Giving Poppy A Piggy Back Ride.

Branch Froze For A Moment, Looking At The Photo And Picked It Up.

The More Branch Looked At It, The More He Thought About What Could Happen To Poppy If The Trolliens Struck Again At The Trolls, And If He Were To Lose Her From That.

Branch's Ears Went Down A Bit With A Sigh.
"Hhhhh..."

Branch Put The Photo Back And Turned Around At His Travel Bag, Sudden Having Second Thoughts.

~~~

~Outside~

The Elevator Came Back Up With Branch On It, And Walked Off The Platform.

Branch Put His Hands In His Pocket And Leaned On His Bunker Rock.

Looking Out At Trolls Going Through Damaged Pieces Of Their Homes, Branch Kept Thinking Of Poppy And His Friends Safety From This.

Branch Frowned A Bit.
"What Am I Doing..."

"I'll Tell You What You're Doing"
A Little Voice Said.

Branch's Ear Twitched.
"Uhhh...Who Said That?"

A Devil Version Of Branch's Conscious Appeared.
"What? You Don't Recognize Your Own Voice In Devil Form? Maaan You Wrong For That"

Branch Flinched.
"What The-?"

A Angel Version Of Branch's Conscious Appeared.
"Oh Devil, He Is Not Wrong For That. He Is Simply Just Confused And That's Quite Normal"

"AH! Now Who Are You??"
Branch Said.

"I'm Your Angel Conscious Of Course"
Angel Branch Chuckled.

"AKA, A Lamer Version Of Yourself"
Devil Branch Said.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD IT, So You Two....Are My Devil & Angel Conscious?"
Branch Asked.

"YEP"
Both Replied.

"To Tell You Right From Wrong"
Angel Branch Said.

"Huh....Thought That Only Happened In Movies"
Branch Said.

"Yeahhh But This Is A Book By Jaden Soooo Kinda Balances Out"
Devil Branch Smirked.

"True I Guess....?"
Branch Said Confused.

"NOW LISTEN TO ME, I Know You Wanna Run Outta This Joint To Protect You And Your Friends From These Troll Aliens, But I Also Know Yo Itty Witty Heart Wants To Help Poppy Track Them Down!"
Devil Branch Explained.

"Well-"
Branch Said.

"WHICH YOU SHOULDDDD -.-"
Devil Branch Glared.

"I Mean Yeah But-"
Branch Said.

Angel Branch Shook His Head.
"No No No Branch! Do The Right Thing, And Lead Your Loved Ones Out Of Trollstopia, It's Clearly Not Safe From Falling Meteors!"

"Ayo Tweety Bird, Shut Up"
Devil Branch Said.

"Rude!"
Angel Branch Said.

"Now Look My Dude, Yo Foxy Mama Ain't Gonna Be Here If Those Alien Trolls Attack Y'all Again"
Devil Branch Said.

"That's Trueee 👉👈"
Branch Fiddled With His Fingers.

"Soooo Whatchu Gonna Do? Stay Here In This Destroyed Dump And Wait To Be Goat Meat...Or Are You Gonna Save Your Married Future With Thicc Pops!?"
Devil Branch Said.

Branch Rubbed His Arm.
"Ummm.."

Devil Branch Slapped Branch Across The Face.
"WHAT'S IT GONNA BE MAAAN?!?!"

"OW! How Did I Feel That If You're A Figment Of My Imagination?!"
Branch Rubbed His Cheek.

"JADEN'S LOGIC!!!! NOW WHATCHU FINNA DO BRANCH!? HUH?!?!"
Devil Branch Slapped Branch Again.

"OW! I'm Gonna Help My Future Wife And Confront These Alien Trolls From Ruining OUR FUTUREEE!"
Branch Finally Said.

"YEAHHHHH!!!"
Devil Branch Shouted.

"YEAHHHHHHH!!!"
Branch Shouted Back.

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Devil Branch Shouted Again.

"YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Branch Shouted Back Again.

Baby-Bun And Gomdori Walked By, And Stopped, Staring At Branch, Thinking He Was Crazy Talking To Himself.

Branch Turned To Them.
"......I Have Issues"

"ME TOO! :D"
Gomdori Grinned And Walked Away With Baby-Bun.

"Now Get To It Brancho!"
Devil Branch Said.

Branch Nods.
"RIGHT!"

"Oh Boy 🤦‍♂️"
Angel Branch Facepalmed.

Branch Inhales.
"NOW TO FIND- Huh?"

Smidge Was Seen Running Through Trollstopia, With A Box, Making Sure No One Was Following Her.

Branch Raised His Eyebrow.
"Smidge?"

Smidge Quickly Kept Running And Went To A Secret Area.

Branch Got Curious And Suspicious.
"Hmm.."

"Please Don't Follow Her"
Angel Branch Said.

"You Should Follow Her"
Devil Branch Said.

"I'm Gonna Follow Her"
Branch Said.

"YES!"
Devil Branch Cheered.

"Lord.."
Angel Branch Sighed.

~~~

Branch Sneakily Ran After Smidge, Quietly On Her Tail.

Smidge Went To The Black Rock Where The Underground Troll Clubs Were Held Before.

The Lower Hatch Door Opened On The Ground And Smidge Walked Down The Stairs.

Branch Peeked In The Black Rock Cave.
"The Underground Trolls Club? What Could She Want There?"

The Door Was About To Slowly Shut Back Again.

Branch Gasped.
"OH NO WAITTTTT!!!"

Branch Immediately Ran And Dived Into The Hatch Door And Rolled Down The Stairs.

"OW OW OW OW OW OOFEY OW DOPOPOW OWIE ARGH-"
Branch Finally Fell Down All The Stairs.

Poppy & The Snackpack Were Sitting Around A Table And Heard A Thud.

Branch Groaned On The Ground.
"Ow.."

"AAAHHHH!!!"
The Snackpack Screamed.

"Branch?! What Are You Doing??"
Poppy Said.

"Bleeding Internally.."
Branch Rolled On His Back.

Guy Got Up And Went To Help Branch Up.
"I Think She Meant What Are You Doing Down Here Branch"

"Uhhhh"
Branch Rubbed The Back Of His Neck.

"Were You Spying On Us?!"
Legsly Questioned.

"OOOOOOOOHH!!!!"
The Snackpack Pointed At Branch.

Tiny Poked Out His Father's Hair.
"UNCLE BRANCH ACTING MAD SUS"

"IMPOSTERRRRR!!!"
Cooper Shouted.

"VOTE HIM OUT!"
Satin & Chenille Say.

"What?! No! I Was Following Smidge Cause SHE Was Acting Suspicious!"
Branch Gestured.

"YOU FOLLOWED ME?!?!"
Smidge Said.

"Yes Causeee You Were Carrying A Mysterious Box"
Branch Said.

Poppy Stood In Front Of The Box.
"WHAAAAAA-? PFFFT! BRANCHIE BABYYY YOU ARE SOOO PARANOID, We Have No Mysterious Box 😌"

Branch Tilted His Head.
"Then How Come On The Front Of The Box It's Labeled Mysterious Box -.-"

The Front Of The Box Had A Sticker Labeled: "Mysterious Box".

Poppy Looked Back At The Box.
".....oH"

Branch Moved Through Them To The Box.
"Excuseeee Me, Thank Youuu"

"NO WAIT!"
Poppy Said.

Branch Took The Box And Immediately Dumped Everything Out.

Branch Blinked At What He Saw.
".....Notepad Paper And Markers?"

"Yesssss?....😁"
Poppy Grinned Innocently.

"Okay What's Going On?"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

The Snackpack Looked Away, Not Wanting To Say.

Branch Turned To Biggie.
"Biggie?"

Biggie Whimpered A Bit Nervously, Trying Not To Say It.

Poppy Did "No" Hand Signals Behind Branch Towards Biggie.

"........WE ARE TRYING TO FORM A FOOL PROOF PLAN TO FIND THE TROLLIENS AND MAKE PEACE WITH THEM!!!"
Biggie Blurted.

"BIGGIE! -.-"
Everyone Glared.

"I'M SORRY 😖"
Biggie Sniffed.

"Even I Knew That Was Dumb 🤚"
Cooper Said.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Wanted To File A Divorce With Biggie.

"Well Great Now He Knows"
DJ Facepalms.

Branch Sighed.
"Poppy"

Poppy Shook Her Head.
"NO BRANCH! NO! I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU HOTLY SMOOTH YOUR WAY INTO TALKING ME OUT OF IT. NAH UH! MY MIND IS MADE UP! THIS PLAN OF MIND WILL SURELY WORK AND NOT END UP IN DISASTER CAUSE I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING THIS TIME THANKS TO THE GREATNESS OF JADEN'S LOGICCC!!!!"

"I Was Gonna Say....I'm Coming With You"
Branch Smirked At Her.

Poppy Blinked.
"Wait....WHAT?! You Wanna Join Me?!? NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO, I'M OVERLY GREAT YOU DID, But Why?!"

"Poppy- Meteors From Outer Space Literally Crashed Down And Almost Killed Us. Of Course I'm Not Just Gonna Walk Away And Do Nothing About It"
Branch Said.

"Oh. Well, YAY! Thanks"
Poppy Grinned.

Branch Grinned Back.
"No Problem, I Got Your Back"

"Awwwww"
The Snackpack Awed.

"ROM COM-Y FOR REAL 📢"
Tiny Honked His Air-Horns.

"But, I Know You Don't Have A Whole Organized Plan Thought Out Sooo Tell Me Your Simpler Plan Through Scrapbook"
Branch Said.

Poppy Giggles.
"Very Basic, First-"

"And That's How We Make Peace With The Trolliens!"
Poppy Finished.

"Of Course It Is-"
Branch Said.

"NOW WHO WANTS TO MAKE THAT PLAN A REALITY AND GO UP INTO OUTER SPACEEEE! 😄"
Poppy Told The Snackpack.

The Snackpack Blinked And Immediately Zoomed Out The Underground Club.

Poppy Blinks.
"Oh- Guess They Were Just Here For Moral Support"

"Then It's Just Us?"
Branch Asked.

"NO BABE, If We're Gonna Do This, We Need A Full Team! A Member From Each Tribe!"
Poppy Said.

"AND WE'RE THE LEADERS OF THIS TEAM!"
Branch Stood Heroically.

"FALSE! I'M THE LEADER! AND YOU'RE THE CO-LEADER!"
Poppy Stood Heroically Instead.

"Oh -.-"
Branch Pouted, Disappointed.

"Nope"

"Well That's Just Great. We Can't Do This Without Some Genius On Space"
