Chapter 9 - Creek The Hero

Poppy's POV

It's a great day and we're now preparing our stuff since we're almost there at our destination—I think.

But then, dark, widespread, gray clouds suddenly approached our way.

"Oh no." I said.

"It's gonna rain!" Biggie shouted in fright.

"Mew." Mr. Dinkles suddenly said.

"What should we do?" Creek asked.

"Let's go down on the ground!" Branch said.

The rain fell like the ocean fell from the sky and the bright blue sky turned into a shadowy darkness. The violent winds whipped our hairs and icy sheets of rain flowed down through our skins.

"Eagle, we have go down!" I yelled immediately.

Eagle flew down and we hid under a cave. Because of the chilling rain, we were all wet and cold.

"When will the rain stop?" DJ Suki asked.

"I don't know. But we need to stay here much longer." I answered.

Branch's POV

We were going to stay in the cave for a moment until the rain stop. I was wandering around when I've noticed that they were all still damped because of the rain. It was so violent that its strong winds made the trees dance.

I saw Poppy shivering and hugging herself to make her warm. I went near her and asked, "Hey. You okay?"

"I'm...f..fine..." Poppy answered, still shivering in coldness.

I went to my bag and caught my vest. I sat beside Poppy and covered her with it.

"Here. You okay now?" I said, looking at her face. Poppy just nodded.

She still looks cold even if I covered her with my vest. I hugged her tightly and it made her look fine and smiled.

"Thanks." She said and layed her head on my shoulder. I smiled and closed my eyes.

~~🌸~~

It's been an hour since the rain started and we're still in the cave. And, Poppy looked okay right now. Everyone is talking random things, waiting for the rain to stop.

"Hey, let's play two truths and a lie!" DJ shouted.

"Yeah!" Poppy answered.

Oh no. This is kinda hard.

~~🌸~~

"Who goes first?" I asked.

"Me!" Guy Diamond said. Again.

Then he went at the front.

"Okay. I like eating earthworms, I don't like glitter, and I like glittah!"

Of course the 'I don't like glitter' is the lie. And he was enjoyed last time on eating the earthworms.

"The lie is that you don't like glitter!" We all shouted.

"What? You guessed it already? That was a hard one!" He explained.

Everyone facepalmed.

"Okay? Who's next?" I asked.

"Me!" Cooper shouted.

Then he went at the front as GD did and said, "Okay, I just farted a while ago, I hated lemon juice, and I sometimes sing when I'm asleep."

Everyone giggled.

"What?" Cooper said.

"Nothing." DJ Suki said and giggled.

"Um, the lie is that you sing when you're asleep?" Satin said and laughed.

"What? No! I didn't farted!" Cooper explained. Everyone smirked. "Ugh fine! It's true that I farted. And Satin's right."

"Ew!!!" Everyone shouted and covered their noses, including me.

"Duhh I farted an hour ago." He said.

"Okay. Who's next?" I asked.

"Me!" Poppy shouted. I don't know why my heart suddenly beats fast.

"So, start!" Creek said.

"Okay, I don't know where's my cowbell recently, I ate Cooper's cupcake poop...."

"Hey!" Cooper shouted and everyone giggled.

".....and I like someone in here right now."

"Um, the lie is that you like someone here?" Biggie asked. Then I heard him whispered, "I wish it's not a lie."

"No. The lie is, I ate Cooper's cupcake poop! Of course why would I eat it?!" Poppy said and giggled.

She likes someone here. But who? I looked at Creek and he was smiling and he looked very sure that it was him who Poppy likes.

Poppy's POV

I told them that I like someone in here right now was true. Oh no. I saw Creek smiling at me while Branch keeps looking at Creek and he was trying to look at me.

"Okay who's next?" I asked.

"Branch's next!" Guy Diamond shouted and laughed.

"What?!" Branch shouted, frowned and went to the front.

"Eek!!!" DJ, Satin and Chenille started to squeal. What the heck is happening to them?

Branch sighed and said, "Okay. I never sang when I was gray, I have kept something you would've not think I kept them, and....." He paused for a moment and sighed, "I like someone in here right now."

Is that true? That he likes one of us? Or maybe that's the lie...

"Um, the lie is that you like someone in here?" I said.

Everyone coughed and giggled.

Branch looked red and said, "No. That's the truth. The lie is that I haven't sang when I was gray."

"What?!" Everyone shouted. So he really kept something we don't think he kept them? And he sang when he was gray? Oh yeah, he was still gray when he sang in the pot. But, what did he kept? Wait, the invitations!

But who does Branch like? What if it's me? But maybe he likes Satin or Chenille or DJ or Smidge? Ugh, stop being curious, Poppy!

"You happy now?" Branch asked them.

"Totally!" GD answered.

I saw Branch trying to look at me. What does he mean? Poppy, stop blushing!

Branch's POV

When I sit back where I sat before, the Snack Pack started to tease me. Ugh...they're too obvious!

DJ squealed and whispered, "Hey, why did you didn't tell to everyone that it's Poppy?"

"Yeah Branch." GD said. Then he began to shout a little, "Hey Poppy, Branch likes y......" I quickly covered his mouth.

"Shh shh shh!! Quiet! She might find out." I
whispered to them.

"Why not?" GD asked.

"Just....ugh... I'm still not ready." I answered.

Ugh! Now because of them, Poppy looks like she had a clue on why are they teasing me and why they are looking at her.

Poppy's POV

The Snack Pack are kinda weird. Why are they teasing him? And duhh, why am I so curious?!

"Owkay? By the way, who's next?" I asked.

"Me, Poppy." Creek volunteered.

Suddenly the rain stopped.

"Oh cool the rain stopped!" I said.

The ones who didn't do the 'Two Truths And One Lie' said "Phew!"

"Ugh..." Creek rolled his eyes.

I ran outside the cave and looked at the bright sky.

"We need to go now. Immediately." I said.

Eagle placed her wing near us to make us climb on her. And when I went up, I suddenly tripped and almost fell. Creek quickly helped me and said, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Thanks." I smiled. I continued to climb on Eagle.

"Branch! Climb up now!" I shouted to Branch, which was still in the cave.

Branch began to walk but suddenly, Cooper shouted, "Branch, watch out!!"

He looked up and saw a gigantic rock falling on his direction. Good thing, Creek quickly pushed him away. And right after he pushed him, the rock crashed on the land.

"Creek, you're a hero!" I said.

"You saved Branch's life..." DJ added.

"That was just nothing." Creek said and winked.

I looked at Branch and saw him exhausted and his eyes very wide.

Branch's POV

Ugh... That Creek again! Now he's a hero to them. Wait, why am I being like this?

I kept on rolling my eyes and scowl.

"Why are you angry, Branch? You should thank me." Creek said and smirked. I just rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

"Creek's right. You should thank him! In fact, you would be dead if it wasn't for him." Poppy added. Great, now Poppy's into him now.

"Yeah yeah..." I just climb up on Eagle without thanking Creek.

I know he just did that to please Poppy.

Poppy rolled her eyes and sat down.

"Okay Eagle, let's go!"

She flap her enormous wings and flew.

When we are at the top, this Creek started to make me pissed off.

"Hey, why you so sad?" He said, making a stupid babyface. "You must be jealous, aren't you? Because you know that I am better than you, right?" He added and smirked.

"Shut up." I said without even looking at him and frowned.

"You can't answer huh. You can't say anything because you know that Poppy would never like a Troll like you... Because you're just a sick old Troll."

"I said SHUT UP!" I shouted and quickly pushed Creek that made him fall.

"Creek!! Branch, what did you did?!" Poppy asked angrily.

"I...I was just..."

Creek's hair began to hold on Eagle's back and he climb up. "I'm okay." He said.

"Ugh. Will you please stop being grumpy at Creek?!" Poppy shouted. Now, it's my fault again.

"You don't know what happened, Poppy." I answered.

"Ugh..." She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Just stop now."

She doesn't even know Creek's pissing me off! Why is she always believing at Creek?!
