In the woods, Branch and his team were continuing their quest to save Poppy and the other leaders.

Branch started a little conversation, "Want to hear something crazy?"

Wani said, "What?"

Branch said, "This isn't even the first time I had to save Trolls from this Bergen."

Hickory asked, "Oh, really?"

Branch said, "Yeah, the same Bergen that has Poppy is the same Bergen that kidnapped our friends. Poppy tried to go by herself at first, but I knew she couldn't survive on her own, so I had to join her.  And the whole time before we got to Bergen Town, I kept insisting they had already been eaten. But, she kept insisting they were alive."

Tresillo said, "That girl of yours sounds pretty persistent."

Branch said, "I know, right? But, here we are. Now, I'm the one knowing they're still alive. Ironic, isn't it?"

Wani said, "Yeah, it is."

They had continued walking.

Branch then got the strangest feeling...that they were being watched.

Branch asked, "Hey, do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?"

Tresillo answered, "Maybe."

Wani said, "Actually, now that you mention it, I do feel like we're not the only ones here."

Hickory said, "I think we should watch our backs; We don't know for sure what could be watching us in these woods."

They kept walking, but then they heard a twig snap.

They immediately stopped and turned around.

Branch yelled, "Hello? Is someone there?"

No answer.

Hickory gestured them to keep walking and act like nothing's happening.

Branch started to pull out a sharp stick from his bag in case they needed it.

Branch then heard a sound coming from the bush behind them.

The others started walking away from it, and then Branch jerked back around and ran towards it with his stick.

He used the stick to slice the bush in half to reveal...Biggie, Cooper, and Prince D!

Branch was angry, "What are you guys doing here?! I told you to stay in the bunker!"

Biggie answered, "What do you think we're doing here? We're helping you rescue Poppy!"

Prince D added, "And the other leaders! Two of which are our mom and dad!

Branch said, "No, no, no, no, no! You all need to go back right now!"

Cooper said, "Sorry, Branch, but this is one of those times where we don't listen to you!"

Branch growled and then Hickory said, "Branch, I think we should let them come."

Branch asked, "What?!"

Tresillo then said, "They clearly want to help. And it may take more help than we think we need to rescue them."

Wani finished with, "Besides, it would be cruel to make them walk back."

Branch hesitated, but then said, "Ok, fine! But, you are all to do what I say!"

They all agreed.

***

As they prepared to lay down for the night, Branch thought about what Poppy could be going through.

He just thought, "I hope she's alright."

***

In Chef's trailer, while the other leaders had fallen asleep, Poppy stayed awake for some of the night, hoping that Branch will come for them sooner than she thinks.

***

At that exact moment, they both said, "Good night," to each other.
