After The Song, Branch Sat On A Ice Block, Still Feeling Sorrow About What He Said.

Branch Sighed And Held His Hands Together.

Branch Felt In His Hair And Took Out The Photo Album He Made Of Him And Poppy's Memories Together.

Branch Opened The Photo Album And Looked Through All The Photos.

When Looking At The Photos, Branch Thought Of All The Memories And How Harshly It'd Affect Him When Their Lives Could Get Restarted.

As Branch Looked More Into The Photos, A Tear Came Down His Cheek.

"Wow, I've Never See You Cry Before"
A Voice Said.

Branch Turned His Head.

Barb Was Right Next To Him.

Branch Looked At Her.

Barb Smiled Slightly.

Branch Wiped His Tear.
"I'm Not Crying"

Barb Sat On The Ice Block With Him.
"Oh That's Okayyy Man, Crying Is Superior! Superior Like Memes! Just Let It Allllll Out"

Branch Put The Album Back In His Hair.

"Barb, Please, I Just Wanna Be Alone.."
Branch Got Up And Walked Off.

Barb Followed Him And Went In Front Of Him.
"But Man! What About The Whole Adventure Thingy?"

"What's The Point Anymore? It's Hopeless At This Point.."
Branch Walked Past Her.

"Pffff- Nothing Is Possible When You're A King!"
Barb's Voice Cracked A Bit As She Stood Proud.

Branch Stopped And Turned His Head.
"Wait- Did You Just Say King?"

Barb's Eyes Widen.
"Uhhh.....Whaaaaa? Noooooo"

Branch Turned Around Fully.
"And Did Your Voice Just Crack?"

Barb Laughs.
"HAHAHAHAAAAA! Cmon Man, I Have No Idea What You're-"

A Little Voice Started Talking.
"I Can't Breathe!"

"Shhh!"
Barb Shushed At Her Arm.

Branch Raises His Eyebrow.
"Uhhh Barb-"

"Get Your Tail Outta My Face!"
A Deeper Voice Said.

"I Said Shush!"
Barb Smacked Her Stomach.

"Okaaaay You're Weirding Me Outtt.."
Branch Said.

Barb Shrugs.
"No Idea Why Cause I'm Always Naturallll"

"For The Love Of Toes! I NEED AIRRRR!"
The Little Voice Shouted.

Suddenly, Mort Bursted Out Of Barb's Arm And Gasped For Air.

"What The-?!"
Branch Said.

Maurice Bursted Out Of Barb's Stomach.
"Seriously Mort?"

Branch Backed Up A Bit.

Barb Rolls Her Eyes.
"Oh For The Love Of Loo-Loo"

The Barb Mask Flew Off, Revealing King Julien.

Branch Jumped At Sudden.
"AH!"

Mort Ran Out The Barb Costume And Gasped For More Air.
"FINALLY! I CAN BREATHHEEEEE!"

"Ugh, Way To Go Mort!"
King Julien Threw Off The Barb Costume Completely.

"I Told You He'd Be Better Working The Legs"
Maurice Said.

Branch Interrupted.
"WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!.....Are You More Bounty Hunters?!?"

Maurice And Mort Look At Each Other.
"Uhhhh..."

"What Was Your First Clue Sherlock? And Ooh! It's Cold! 🥶 Maurice, Fetch Me A Brittany Spears Inspired Sweater"
King Julien Shivered.

"Ummm Yeahhhh, No Real Sweater Shops Here Julien"
Maurice Said.

"OOOH! I'll Keep Your Feet Warm!!! 🤗"
Mort Clinged Onto Julien's Foot.

"No Mort! AWAY!"
King Julien Kicked Mort Off.

"WOOOWWWEEEE-"
Mort Slammed Into Some Ice.

"Yup, Time To Gooooo..."
Branch Started To Go Away.

"Oh No! HE'S MY WAY TO SAVE MY PRECIOUS LEGACY OF MY AMAZING GLORY! Mort! Retrieve The Prisioner!"
King Julien Ordered.

Mort Nods.
"OOOH OKAY!"

Mort Zoomed Towards Branch At High Speed Somehow.

Mort Started To Wrap Up Branch In Wrapping Paper.

Branch Froze.
"HEY! GET AWAY!"

Mort Tied The Wrapping Tight.

Branch Struggled To Move.
"GAH- No No Noooo!"

"Nice Mort, You Get A Cookie"
King Julien Said.

"REALLY?! 😄"
Mort Bounced.

"No-"
King Julien Replied.

Branch Kept Trying To Break Free.
"Ughhhh! Let Me Out Of This! You Guys Don't See How Much Of A BIG Mistake Is?!?!"

"The Mistake Is That Hooded Slenderman Person Would Only Let 45% Of My Legacy Live. WHAT ABOUT 1000%?! My Popularity Is Far More Worthy"
King Julien Checked His Nails.

"B-But, Look At It This Way! If Your Legacy Long Lives And Others Go Away.....Who Would Be Here To Praise You? Huhhhh?"
Branch Said.

Maurice Agreed A Bit.
"Mmmm, He's Kinda Got A Point Julien. Doesn't This Seem.....Unfair"

King Julien Thought.
"Y-You Mean....No Worshipers?! No Praisers?! No One To Boss?! NO BEYONCE FANGIRLS?! NO MORE LAVENDER SCENTED PERFUME?!?!"

Branch Blinks.
"Uhhhh.........Sure? Allllll Goneeee"

"Hmmm..."
King Julien Looked Down At Maurice.

Maurice Shrugs.

King Julien Looked Down At Mort.

Mort Was Clinging Onto Julien's Foot Again.
"Hehehehe 🤗 🦶"

King Julien Kicked Mort Away Again.

Mort Yelps.
"OIIIIII-"

"Hmmmm, I May Take Your Advice And Won't Turn You Into That Hoodman Fellow..."
King Julien Stroked His Chin.

Branch Sighs In Relief.
"Phew...."

".........If You Participate In A DANCE BREAK!!! 🕺🎶💃"
King Julien Jumped And Shouted.

Branch Blinks.
"._______. A What Break-"

Suddenly, Branch Was Around A Black Empty Space.

"Ummm....What Just Happend-"
Branch Said.

Then, Multicolored Spotlight Lights Shined Around Branch.

Branch Squinted His Eyes From The Lights.

Maurice Facepalms.

"OO YAAAY!"

"This Is So Weird....So Very Weird.."
Branch Said.

King Julien Wrapped His Arm Around Branch.
"It's Simple Leaf Vest Hair Thing! Show Me Your Grooviest Dance Moves Then I Won't Turn You In To The Dark Hoodman!"

Branch Moved From Julien.
"Absolutely Not!"

King Julien Snaps His Fingers.

Mort Held Out More Wrapping Paper.

Branch Agrees.
"OKAY OKAY! Alright!"

"LETS BEGIN!"
King Julien Shouted.

A Random Out Of Nowhere Crowd Clapped In The Background.

A Smooth Soul Beat Began To Play.

"Annnd Have Some Help From My Sexy Lemur Ladiesss Dressed Like Waiters From Hooters!!"
King Julien Said.

"Wait Huh?!"
Branch Said.

Two Random Sexy Lemurs, Dressed Like Waiters From Hooters Poofed Up.

The 2 Lemurs Both Go Beside Branch And Giggle And Feeling Him.

Branch Gulped.
"U-Uh...Um..."

King Julien Started Singing.

Branch Wobbled.

Branch Pulled His Hair.
"DAAAAAH!!!"

"Oh Cmon Blue Man! Just Dance And Have Fun With It!"
King Julien Told Branch.

"No! I Will Not Have-....."
Branch Suddenly Gasps And Haves A Mini Flashback.

~~~

~Flashback~

Teen Branch Came Up From The Doormat.
"What Is Going On Out Here!"

Music Was Blasting As The Snackpack And Teen Poppy Were Having A Dance Party Around Branch's Bunker.

"A Dance Party!"
Teen Poppy Danced.

Branch Stood Out.
"No! No Please Princess Poppy. I Don't Wanna Dance! EVER!"

"BUT WHYYYYY..."
The Teen Snackpack Whined.

"Cause I Don't Want You! Leave It At That!"
Branch Said.

Poppy Giggles And Nudged Branch.
"Cmon Branchhhh! Just Dance And Have Fun With It!"

Branch Crossed His Arms.

~End Of Flashback~

Branch Thought Of Poppy's Words When King Julien Said That.

"Just Dance....And Have Fun With It..."
Branch Said To Himself.

Branch Started Smirking.

Branch Jumped In The Center Of The Spotlights.

And Started To Sing And Dance.
