Chapter 8 - Truth Or Dare
Poppy's POV
Morning came and we continued our journey to the Magical Poppies. I haven't been on the air since I was a little girl. And it made me so excited!
"I'm hungry..." GD said.
"Do we still have food?" DJ Suki asked.
"Good thing I've kept some earthworms!" Branch said.
"Great! I wanna eat those tasty worms now." Cooper said.
While we're eating the worms, I asked them what we'll do while waiting for our destination.
"Hey guys! What shall we do?"
"I know!" Satin shouted.
"What?" I asked.
"Truth or Dare!" Satin and Chenille both answered and giggled.
"Okay!" I said.
Then we started our truth or dare game.
Smidge is beside Biggie, Biggie is beside Fuzzbert, Fuzzbert is beside Cooper, Cooper is beside DJ, DJ is beside Guy Diamond, GD is beside Branch, and the best thing is, I'm beside Branch! But I'm beside Creek and the two might fight again.
"The one who is at your left is the one who will do the truth or the dare. Okay?" I said.
"Okay!" They all answered.
Branch's POV
Oh no. We're gonna do truth or dare! The whole Snack Pack already know that I like Poppy!
"Who goes first?" DJ asked.
"Me!" GD raises his hands. No!! Guy Diamond's left side is me!
They all smirked at me.
"Branch, truth or dare?" GD asked.
"Uh...um...truth?" I answered.
"Hmm... Tell your true feelings to Poppy!" Guy Diamond answered confidently.
"What?!" I shouted. I looked at Poppy and saw her blushed.
"I...um...I like you."
She looked surprised from what I said. And what's worse, everyone squealed in excitement!
"I like you...as a friend!" I quickly added. "You're a great friend and you'll do everything just for the people you love..."
Everyone began to cough as if what I said was wrong.
"What? It's true!" I said.
Poppy's POV
Ohh... I knew it. He just likes me as a friend. Ugh. Why did I even hope that Branch likes me?
And it's Branch's turn to ask me.
"Poppy, truth or dare?"
"Truth." I answered.
"Um... Maybe my question will be as the same question from GD."
"Okay. I only like you as a friend." I answered confidently even if my answer is not true. I just don't want to be embarrassed. "Just a friend." I added.
Branch's POV
She doesn't like me. I knew it. It is because of that Creek. Ugh. Why am I hoping that Poppy'll like me?
It's Poppy's turn to ask Creek.
"Okay Creek. Truth or dare?"
"Dare." Creek answered.
"Hmm... I dare you to..."
If I'm the one who'll dare him, I'll probably dare him to punch himself about a hundred times and to get out of our sight.
".....I dare you to..."
I can't believe I just whispered, "Pound on your chest and act like a gorilla for the next minute."
"What?!" Poppy reacted and giggled. "That's a cool dare. Okay Creek, that's my dare."
"What?! No...uhh..." Creek doesn't want my dare. Heh.
"Do it!" Everyone shouted.
"Oh...okay." Creek sighed and began to do his dare. Man, he really looked so ridiculous!
"Ooh ooh! Ahh ahh!" Creek began to speak gorilla sounds.
Everyone laughed and Creek began to look at me angrily.

"Hey Eagle, you want worms?" Poppy asked her.
Actually, Eagle didn't agreed. Poppy just gave the worm to her.
"We're still far." Poppy said while looking the map.
"Yeah." I said while looking at the map too.
"So what are we gonna do next?" Cooper asked.
"Let's sing!" Poppy said and showed her ukulele. "Good thing I brought my ukulele!"
"Oh um... By the way, sorry if I broke your old ukulele Poppy." I said to her. I just remembered the time when I burned her ukulele. I was very sorry about that.
"That's okay, Branch! And at least, I had a new one." Poppy said and winked.
"Let's sing!" Everyone shouted.
Then Poppy started to sing and play the ukulele.

"Whoa! You guys are so cool..." Biggie cheered after the girls sang. "Right, Mr. Dinkles?"
"Mew." Said Mr. Dinkles.
I just felt myself smile while watching her sing happily.
"Nice singing, Poppy." Creek said to her while putting his arm over her shoulders. Argh... I can't stop myself pushing Creek away from her.
"Thanks Creek!" Poppy said.
"Stop holding her!" I whispered to Creek.
"What's wrong? Heh. Are you jealous?" Creek just teased me and his voice was so loud that Poppy can hear us fighting again. Ugh.
"Will 'ya please stop fighting?!" Poppy said. Ugh it's Creek's fault.
"I'm so sorry Poppy. I'm just defending myself from Branch and he started it." Creek said.
"What?! I'm just...I'm..."
"Branch. Please?" Ugh. Now it's me again.
"Ugh okay." I can't defend myself when Poppy already talks.
"Good. Now, it's boys' turn to sing. I'll still play the ukulele." Poppy said. "From the boys, who do you want to sing?"
"Branch!" The whole Snack Pack shouted.
Poppy's POV
I don't know why Branch keeps defending me from Creek. Maybe he just lied from the truth or dare game and he actually likes me? Or maybe he just don't really trust him?
"Now, it's boys' turn to sing. I'll still play the ukulele." I said. "From the boys, who do you want to sing?"
Then the whole Snack Pack just shouted, "Branch!"
"Wait, what? Me?!" Branch reacted.
"Please?" The Snack Pack just did the Puppy Eyes.
"Ugh fine." He answered.
"We'll join too!" GD and Cooper said.
Branch started the song while I started to play my ukulele...
