Poppy's POV

Why is Branch being a weirdo? Why don't he stop hating Creek? But, I think I was wrong too. I am so unfair to him. But I just don't wanna be obvious that I like him. I mean, don't want to be obvious that I love him. Still, I just did that because Branch pushed Creek. And that was wrong.

"Hey everybody, let's sing!" I said and grabbed my ukulele. Everyone agreed but Branch just crossed his arms. "Branch, why won't you join with us?" I asked him.

"Ugh, I don't want to join. Just...just sing without me."

"Come on, I want to sing with y..."

"Just go and sing." He answered.

"Okay, um I'll just sing by myself."

I sighed and began to play my ukulele and sing...

♪ I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under the covers stayin' dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way?
I just, mmm

It starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin' shows
'Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever, wherever, where ever you go
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go ♪

I sang this song because these are the words that I want to say to him that when he was with me, I feel comfortable and I feel safe. But, I can't say it in front of him... I'm just pretending that I just want to sing this song.

"Aww that was so cute!" Satin and Chenille said.

"Great singing!" The others said.

"Thanks!" I answered.

Branch's POV

Her voice is so beautiful that it was like an angel sang in front of us. I want to sing but, Poppy's being unfair. She doesn't see the real thing that Creek makes me pissed off.

"Woah Poppy, your voice is as beautiful as ever!" Creek said and smiled.

"Thanks, Creek." Poppy answered and smile back.

Creek then hugged Poppy.

"What's this for?" Poppy said with a giggle.

"I just want to hug the most amazing Troll I have ever met...." What Creek said made Poppy a little blushed.

This feeling I'm encountering right now, it makes me wanna grind my teeth instead on smiling. Seeing them like that made my eyes feel like it's burning hot. Creek's scornful and annoying face makes me look sullen and gloomy. Jealousy is creeping up on me right now. And I hate how this green-eyed monster controls me.

Poppy and Creek looked happy while they're hugging, and it makes me annoyed. No, stop thinking about that, Branch. It's just a hug. Ugh... I can't take it anymore!

"Hey, will you stop hugging Poppy?" I said to Creek and pushed him.

"Branch, what are you talking about?" Poppy said, defending Creek.

"Oh c'mon. Stop pretending! You're enjoying Creek's hugs, right?!"

"Branch, calm down. It's just a hug. Okay?" Poppy said.

She's right. It is just a hug. Nothing more. No reason for me to be angry.

"I...I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I closed my eyes and calmed myself down.

"It's okay." Poppy said. I then smiled a little. But when I looked at Creek, he was smirking at me, which made me roll my eyes. I went back to where I seated and calmed myself down.

"Now, where were we?" Poppy said. She asked Eagle, "Where are we?"

We still didn't understood what Eagle was saying.

"Oh...wow. We're still so far." Poppy said. "Ooh there's a trivia behind the map. It says that the Shadowed Mountains are one of the mountain ranges with the most number of mountains in the world."

"Wow..." Everyone answered.

"That's why we're still far away..." Poppy said. "And the mountain with the Magical Poppies are on the other end of the mountain ranges." She added.

"Whaaa?" Guy Diamond said with an auto-tuned voice.

Dusk came and we took for a rest. We went down in a forest and we slept.

I woke up in the middle of the night. I looked and saw everyone having a goodnight sleep. But someone's missing...

"Creek?" I whispered. "Where the heck is that man?"

I went out of my bed and searched everywhere. But Creek was nowhere in sight. I was just going back to bed when I heard noises coming from behind the wild bushes. I peeked and saw Creek and the stranger I saw days ago... What are they talking about? And who is this Troll?

"The plan was a success! Haha..." Creek whispered, giving an evil smile.

"Good thing you made it right... Or else that Branch is dead and you wouldn't be a hero to them." The stranger said.

"Yeah yeah..." Creek answered.

"But, you still need to do what I have asked." The stranger said.

"Uh...what is it?" Creek asked.

"Duhh! You need to make me as queen after you become king." She said, widening her eyes.

"What?! No way! I don't want to marry you. Eww ew!" Creek answered with disgust.

"How dare you! You're being unfair! I did what you wanted, and I won't let you escape from my plans!" She shouted angrily.

"Shh...shhh! We may be caught because of you." Creek whispered.

"I don't care! If you wouldn't do what I want, wait for my revenge!" She answered furiously.

"Get outta here, you crazy!" Creek said. And the Troll disappeared.

What the heck did I just saw? Is this real? That Creek had plans to be king?

I slowly walked back to our place, trying to not get caught by Creek but unfortunately, I accidentally stepped on a branch which made Creek look. And he saw me. Good thing I'm kinda far now from where Creek and that stranger talked.

"Oh, Branch. What are y..you doing here?" He asked, having a little hesitation.

"Uh...um... Nothing. I just can't sleep so I wandered here in the woods. Yeah." I answered and grinned, pretending that I haven't heard their conversation.

"Just....just go back to sleep, Branch." He said.

I want to tell this to Poppy, but I know that Creek is watching. I layed down on my bed and waited for him to go on his bed. But I didn't noticed that I already fell asleep.
