Branch And Barb Hung Out Together, Eating Ice Cream Cones. 🍦

"So Then I Was Like, DEBBIE?! WHAT IN THE WORLD THEY THOSE DREADED POP TROLLS DO TO YOU!"
Barb Said.

"Uh Huh-"
Branch Replied.

"Then I Read The Letter And Glitter Shot Right In My Face!"
Barb Said.

"Uh Huh-"
Branch Replied.

"After That, I THREW A WICKED RAGE TANTRUM! Goes A Little Something Like This"
Barb Said.

Barb Mimicked Her Tantrum.
"POP MUSIC! ISN'T EVEN REAL MUSIC! IT'S BLAND! IT'S REPETITIVE!"

Barb Threw Rocks Everywhere.

".__________."
Branch Just Watched.

"AND WORST OF ALL IT CRAWLS IN YOUR HEAD LIKE A EARWORM!!"
Barb Threw Her Ice Cream.

"So That Was My Epic Rage"
Barb Dusted Off Her Hands.

Barb Notices.
"Oh Um- Dude You Have A Little..."

"-.-"
The Ice Cream Smashed Into Branch's Face.

"Ooh, You Should Get A Napkin"
Barb Said.

Branch Waited For Barb To Give Him A Napkin.

Barb Turned Back To Him.
"Hm?"

"WELL?!?"
Branch Said.

Barb Snickers.
"Oh Not Me Dude, Why Would I Give You A Napkin? Not Your Slave"

Branch Wiped Off The Ice Cream.
"Ugh Whatever Just-"

Aaaaaa~

"Oh Goshhhhh"
Branch Groaned.

"I Swear Imma Punch The Sky If That Call Keeps Doing That!"
Barb Yelled Up In The Air.

"You're Gonna Have To Deal With It. Poppy Said To Ignore It, I Will Respect Her Decision"
Branch Said.

Barb Scoffs.
"Pffff- You're Just Doing Whatever She Suggests Just So She Can Stay With You"

"LIES! I Am My Own Man, I Don't Need To Follow After A G i r l"
Branch Said.

Barb Got In Branch's Face.
"What's Wrong With A Girl Huh -.-"

Branch Moved Back His Head.
"Oh Nothing! HAHAHA, Just Uh...."

Barb Formed Fists While Glaring At Him.

Branch Gulps.
"......I Love Your Victoria Secret Mascara?"

Barb Gasps.
"How Dare You! THAT'S THE LOWEST LINER OF MAKEUP!"

Branch Looked Behind Barb And Saw The Village Library Door Open.

Branch Covered Barb's Mouth.
"Uh Barb-"

Barb Took His Hand Off.
"Don't Touch Me"

"Look"
Branch Points.

Barb Turned Around And The Library Door Open.

"So?"
Barb Said.

Branch Took Out A Frying Pan. 🍳
"Intruders..."

Branch Tip Toes To The Library.

"Okay Rapunzel 2.0"
Barb Followed.

Branch Rolled On The Ground With Stealth

Branch Went Up Against The Library Wall, Behind The Door.

Barb Just Walked Causally Next To Him.

Branch Whispers.
"Okay"

Branch Started Doing Hand Signals.

Barb Blinks.
"Huh?"

Branch Repeated The Hand Signals.

"Are We Playing Charades-"
Barb Said.

Branch Sighed And Repeated The Hand Signals Again.

"Are You On Your Man Period"
Barb Said.

Branch Groans And Facepalms.
"🤦‍♂️, Ughh! It Means To SHHH!"

"Why Didn't You Just Say That? You're Suck A Dork"
Barb Laughed.

"Sh!"
Branch Put A Finger On Barb's Lips.

Barb Bit His Finger.

"YOOOW!"
Branch Yelps.

"What Was That For?!?"
Branch Rubbed His Finger.

"What Did I Say About Touching Me"
Barb Crossed Her Arms.

Branch Rolled His Eyes.
"Whatever Whatever-"

Branch Tip Toed Into The Library As Barb Followed.

There Was Books Everywhere On The Floor.

"What A Mess"
Branch Said.

"Exactly Why I Don't Read Books"
Barb Said.

Some Talking Was Heard.

"WHO'S THERE?!"
Branch Held Up His Pan.

Poppy Ran Across The Library To A Different Section.

"Poppy?/Pop-Squeak?"
Branch And Barb Said At The Same Time.

Poppy Picked Up A Book And Flipped Through The Pages.

"No No No Not It Not It GAAAH!"
Poppy Said.

Branch Tapped Poppy's Shoulder.
"Poppy-"

"AHHH!"
Poppy Jumped.

"Oh Heyyyy Branchieee, Barbbb, Lovely Weather We're Havinggg 😁
Poppy Smiled Innocently.

"What Are You Doing Here? Making All This Mess With The Books?"
Branch Questioned.

Poppy Sighs.
"Okay, If I Tell You Both, Promise It's Between Us. I Trust You Both Completely. And The Village Too. Just, At This Moment I Trust You Two"

Branch And Barb Nod.

"Okay, I'm Looking For More Information On The Call Thats Been Going Around Trollstopia"
Poppy Told Them.

"Ohhhhh..."
Both Say.

Branch And Barb Then Walked Away To The Exit.

Poppy Blinks.
"Uhhhh, Where Are You Two Going?"

"Gonna Tell Your Dad"
Branch Replied.

"Gonna Tell The Whole Village Cause I Can"
Barb Replied.

Poppy Quickly Ran Outside And Stopped Them.

"NO NO NO Guyyssss! You Said You Wouldn't Tell!"
Poppy Said.

"Technically We Only Nodded. Not Said Anything"
Branch Said.

"Big Brain-"
Barb Said.

Poppy Facepalms.
"Look, If This Gets Out To The Village That I'm Looking For More On-"

Aaaaaa~

"-That. They Will Get Freak Out And Think There's Something Actually Wrong!"
Poppy Told Them.

"But Poppy, We Shouldn't Hide Things From The Village"
Branch Told Them.

Poppy Sighs And Looks Down.
"I Know......I Just Don't Want Any Problematic Events Happening In Trollstopia. All The Trolls Just Became One Society And I'd Hate To See That Break Apart So Quickly..."

"Aweee Pop Squeakkkk"
Barb Patted Poppy's Shoulder.

Branch Lifted Poppy's Chin
"Hey-"

Poppy Looked Up At Him.

"If The Village Really Love Being One Society, They Wouldn't Break Up, Right?"
Branch Said.

Poppy Sighed.
"Right...."

"So, Keep Your Chin Up And Tell Them The Truth. Okay?"
Branch's Kissed Her Cheek.

Poppy Inhales And Nods.
"You're Right"

"Good Decision Making Pinkie, You're Becoming Much Of A Cliche Character"
Barb Said.

Poppy Rolls Her Eyes Playfully.
"Whateverrr, Let's Just Go Tell-"

Branch And Barb Was Staring At Poppy.

Poppy Raises Her Eyebrow.
"What's Wrong?"

"Y-Y-Y....."
Branch Studders.

"YOUR ARM!"
Barb Pointed.

"Huh?"
Poppy Looked At Her Arm.

Poppy's Arm Was Fading Away.

"What The- AH!"
Poppy Said.

Poppy's Legs Were Fading Away.

"WHOA WHOA WHAT'S HAPPENING?!"
Poppy Said.

"Don't Freak Out! You'll Be Okay! I Promise!"
Branch Told Her.

"AH!"
Barb Screamed.

Branch Turned To Barb.

Barb Was Slowly Fading Away Too.

"BARB!"
Branch Said.

Barb Jumped On Branch's Head And Clinged Onto It.
"NO NO NO! I DON'T WANNA GO! DON'T WANNA GO! SO MUCH STUFF I WANNA SEE AND DO!"

Branch Was Slowly Fading Away.
"What In The World?!?!?!"

"NO NOOO I NEVER RIDDEN A PONY YETTTT!"
Barb Cried.

Poppy's Face Was Fading Away.

"W-WE'LL BE OKAY!"
Branch Insured.
