Branch is hanging out with the rest of the Snack Pack and June. They are in the outskirts of the village playing with the dog. June rolls over near Branch then rubs his large head against her standing body gently. He is trying to get her to pet him. The others are in awe by how cute the dog is being. Poppy chuckles knowing June's tricks well.

" Okay,you overgrown puppy. ", Branch laughs happily.

The blue troll starts petting her dog making his tail wag and stopping him from constantly rubbing his head against her. Poppy and the others join in the petting happily. They love having June around. He is so adorable and lovable unless your on June's bad side. That only happens if he finds out or sees you hurting Branch. There are only a few trolls on June's bad side.

" Aww! He's so cute!",Poppy says happily and adoringly.

June happily barks at all of the affection. He likes the Snack Pack. They always play with him and sometimes give him treats. Their treats weren't as good as Branch's treats but, he still liked eating them. Biggie stops petting June as Mrs Dinkles meeps at the dog happily. June sniffs Fuzzette. The fuzzling's hair tickles his nose making him sneeze. Everyone had stopped petting the dog when he sneezed.

" Hey Branch? Where did you find this cutie?",DJ asks curious.

" Oh, I had heard him make a sound close by one day when I was in the woods. It sounded like someone was hurt or in trouble so i just followed it since i don't usually hear that. Then i saw this big guy as a puppy between two trees with a hurt paw and scared. I couldn't just walk away and leave him there so i just helped him out... Since that day he just kept on coming to me whenever he caught my scent or saw me in the forest and just stayed . At first it I found it annoying but,after a while we started bonding then I started training him. ",Branch says honestly and calmly.

June looks at Branch smiling happily then moves his head around slowly curious. Branch had trained him to spot danger so if anything was coming he could warn her or protect. The Snack Pack find Branch and June's first meet cute but,when they hear about June being trained it makes their ears perk! Some of them even gasp in delight  wondering what June can do.

"Can he do any dazzling tricks? He could  maybe make my fantastic shows greater!",Gal says curious and proud.

"He's not a show dog,Gal.",Branch says blankly.

June isn't paying attention to the trolls around as he looks around. An confused and suspicious look appears on the dog's face as a faint and familiar scent of lavender and strongly ,toxic to June's level of smell, scented mediation candles! The male dog growls to himself lowly and his eyes become sharper as he looks at the direction of the village. He recognizes the horrible scent putting him on alert! June hates the troll coming any moment! The Snack Pack notice June's sudden behaviour and look up at him confused. Branch immediately recognizes June's behavior so she looks at him concerned and serious knowing  something is wrong!

" What's wrong,Bud? Where's the danger?",Branch asks on alert.

The rest of the Pack looks at Branch confused and unsure about what is going on. None of them had picked up something bad so they wonder what is ticking June off. Branch turns around to the direction June is looking at. June slowly stands up as the scent gets stronger! The Snack Pack follows Branch's example to see what is bothering June. Then suddenly they see Creek being carried by a beetle meditating coming their way.

"For the love of everything good...",Branch says lowly annoyed.

June growls angrily becoming protective. He never liked Creek from the first moment he saw her and sniffed her! He could sense that something about her wasn't good and was proven right after he saw what Creek did to Branch! The Snack Pack see Creek but, don't understand what is the problem. The bug brings Creek over to the group and it puts her gently on the ground in front of them. The guru opens her eyes with a big attention loving smile. Branch just ignores her rival as she turns back to her pet dog shaking her head.

"Namastay my friends. ",Creek says fakely friendly.

"Hey Creek. ",Poppy greets innocently.

The others,except Branch and June, greet back happily. They don't see a problem with the guru at all. Creek gets up as her beetle flies away. The purple troll spots Branch ignoring her as she gives attention to June. Branch puts an hand on June's right leg as he glares at Creek distrustful.

" I know how you feel,June.",Branch says unhappily and honestly.

June doesn't take his glare off Creek but,Creek doesn't notice what June is doing as she is too focused on her victim. Creek secretly bullied Branch when she was growing up and stills mocks her like it's a fun game.

"Oh hey Branch. Still wearing that vest of yours ,mate?",Creek says friendly and mockingly.

Branch looks down at her vest after hearing her rival implied her fashion choices were bad. June doesn't say a thing as he continues to glare. If Creek gets too close or makes one wrong move June will give her a message. Branch never included dealing with Creek during training but, she did trained him to handle threats. Branch turns her head up to Creek with an unimpressed look. The guru had already used the insult towards her vest before.

" What do you want,Creek?",Branch asks blankly.

Creek just smirks subtly evil at her. June notices the evilness of the smirk making him more protective of Branch. The Snack Pack notices how protective June is getting. It didn't make much sense to them. Then Creek slowly walks over to Branch earning disapproving and warning growl from June.

"So is this your dog everyone has been talking about lately? I'm still surprised that you of all trolls would be loved by animals. You are so not lovable and treat what you call 'predators' so horribly. I mean why would they get good vibes from you?",Creek says mockingly and calmly.

The Snack Pack members are taken back when they hear how Creek talks to Branch! They don't make a sound but,their eyes widen a little since they never thought she would say something like that! It is sounds like Creek is going down on Branch out of the blue to them but,it really isn't. June doesn't like hearing how Creek is talking about Branch. He disagrees with her! Branch is his best friend! Branch on the other hand isn't taking all of it personally but,she is going make her point and stand.

"Predators can easily kill us! And other animals like June and critters are different. I do take care of him whenever he hangs around and have trained him very well. Plus if June could fit in my bunker he would living with me already. ",Branch says honestly, seriously and calmly.

June calms down and his eyes go back to normal when he hears Branch say he would be living with her if he could fit in her home. He makes an adorable happy sound as he tilts his head looking at her. The dog tail wags happily. Branch looks at her pet and pets his furry head. Creek looks at Branch with an unhappy look. Creek doesn't believe Branch should be loved by anyone! She has been jealous lately at the attention Branch has been getting.

"That's so sweet,Branch .",Poppy comments in awe.

" It would so fun if June was small like Mrs Dinkles. We could get clothes for him to wear like I do for Mrs Dinkles. June and Mrs D could be stars in my next scrapbook of cute pics. Branch,it would so much fun!",Biggie says happily and cheerful.

"Meep.",Mrs D says blankly.

June blinks confused as he looks at Biggie then back at Branch. He never was dressed up by Branch like Biggie does for Mrs D. He didn't understand what Biggie meant at all! Creek gets an idea to do something while making it look like accident. Creek didn't like how Branch is having the attention and she couldn't make it obvious since there are other trolls here.

The jealous woman gets a closer to Branch as she smirks then she 'accidentally' gives Branch a rough push to the ground! The other Trolls,except Creek, gasp in worry as they see Branch fall. As a result Branch's head hits a smooth rock! Poppy  and June are the only ones who saw Creek push Branch!

"OWWW!", Branch shouts in pain.

"Oops. I'm sorry,mate. I must had tripped...",Creek fakely apologize.

June's eyes become sharp and angry immediately as Poppy quickly moves to Branch's side! Both Poppy and June are angry! Branch lifts her top half up by using her arms to bring herself up. There is blood on the on rock and some blood coming out of Branch's bruised lip and nose! Poppy's widen and his heart stop as he gets on his knees and sees Branch's face!

" Creek,You Elf!",Branch curses upset!

" Why did you that,Creek?",Poppy says angrily.

"What Do you mean?",Creek says evilly with no regret.

June starts growling angrily as he looks at Creek with eyes that say " You better run..."! Creek looks up at June and starts getting nervous. She now realize she just made a mistake. The rest of the Snack Pack back away scared of what is going to happen. Creek starts backing up herself slowly then June starts stepping forward threateningly.

"Okay big dog,just calm down.",Creek says scared.

June just gets closer to Creek slowly and angrily still growling. No amount of words coming from Creek can save her! Then Creek trips falling backwards onto the ground! June continues his scary behaviour  ready to do something. Suddenly once June and Creek are very close June barks loudly and threateningly! Then the protective dog grabs her by the hair and throw Creek roughly like a toy! Creek crashes into a tree then starts running as June starts chasing her away angrily. The dog barks scarily and loudly as he chases.

Branch sits on the ground as Poppy wipes her blood away slowly and gently with a tissues from Branch's first Aid kit. The kit is open and sits next to Poppy. The king had insisted that she let him do it for her. The others are watching June chasing a screaming Creek back to the village.

They are speechless by how protective of Branch June is! They always thought he was just a sweet dog. Biggie covers Mrs D's eyes as the worm smiles approvingly of what June is doing. Within a minute June comes back calmed down running back to Branch. The dog rubs his head into her other side trying to comfort his best friend.

" Well,Creek is not coming back any time soon...",Smidge comments.

AN: You mess with Branch? You messed with June. He's such a good boy
