Poppy's POV

"First, we need to go across the Silent River. Ooh silent!" I said as I was looking at the map.

"Um, Poppy? Do you think it's really silent?" Guy Diamond asked.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Look." He said and pointed at the river.

"Oh." I can't say anything after seeing the river. It's very wide, its waves are wild and big and giant rocks are ruling the waters. Who the heck just named this river as 'Silent'?!

"What are we gonna do now?" DJ Suki asked.

"We could step on those rocks." Cooper suggested.

"It's too dangerous, Cooper." Fuzzbert said.

"Hmm... Maybe we could swing to that tree using our hairs?" I said after seeing a very large tree almost at the other side of the river.

"But, it's not safe to swing this far. Because the waves are too wild and I'm sure they could reach us. We need to swing near the tree." Branch said. That's my man! He's so smart...

"Don't worry Poppy, we can do this! Okay, I'll go first." Creek said with confidence.

"Ooohh! He's so brave." Satin and Chenille said.

"What?! Do you think that Creek could make it to the other side?" Branch asked me and looked at Creek angrily.

"C'mon, Branch. Can you just add a little positivity?" Creek said.

"I am being positive because I'm not gray anymore. And am I even talking to you?!" Branch answered.

"Branch... He's right. And he was just trying to help us go across this river. Okay?" I said. Branch just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

Creek started to run. He jumped so high and reached the tree using his hair.

But he failed.

Branch's POV

"AAAHHHHHH!!!!" Creek shouted after he fell to the waters and was drowning. Heh. He thinks that he can do it. But he can't.

"Oh no!!" Poppy shouted and was scared for Creek. And I was just laughing. But the bad thing is...

"Ehem? Branch?" She said.

I stopped laughing and asked, "What?"

"Save him!" What?! Ugh.

"Ugh fine!" I dived into the water and started to swim.

Poppy's POV

"Whoa. I didn't know Branch was a great swimmer." I watched as Branch was swimming until he reaches Creek. He was just so cute I could stare at him all day.

"Creek! Reach for my hair." Branch shouted and reached for Creek's hair using his.

"Ride on my back." Creek followed what Branch said. And that made it harder for Branch to swim.

They went out of the water using Branch's hair.

Oh my gosh. Branch looked so hot that time. And he was carrying Creek! Well that's the part I don't like. Oh nevermind about all what I've said!

Branch's POV

That was exhausting! I didn't knew Creek was so heavy!

"Whoa, Branch. You were awesome right there!" DJ Suki cheered.

"Yeah you were great!" GD added with an auto-tuned voice.

Everyone was cheering for me. Well, I just saw Poppy smiling, and that made me smile too.

"Um, you can put me down now." Creek ordered. Well, I followed him and threw him away.

"Aww!!! Ugh." Creek shouted, holding his back.

Poppy went to me and said, "Hey Branch, that was awesome!"

"Well yeah, that's nothing." I smiled.

"But, you're wet now... Uh..." Poppy said as she saw me getting cold.

"Oh uh....yeah. Good thing I have extra clothes here." I said.

"Uh....y..yeah. Change your clothes now. Umm... Heheh." I just saw her getting red. But actually, I look red now too.

"I'm...I'm just going to change my clothes behind the bushes." I said.

"Uhh okay." She answered without looking at me.

~~🌸~~

Poppy's POV

We're thinking some ideas on how we can go pass through the river while I was walking around in that area. Because of a lot of thinking, I haven't noticed that I was now behind the bushes. And....

I just saw Branch without his vest...

"AAHHH!!" Oh my...

"AHHH!" Branch shouted as he covered his body with a leaf. "What are you doing here?!" He added.

"I thought you're at the other side..."

"But I said I'll be changing clothes behind the bushes."

"But there are many bushes here!"

"I mean, this bush."

Dang it! I admit.... He was just so hot... I wanna squeal! Oops, sorry for my words! But I look so red right now...

"I...I'm sorry Branch. It was just..." I was full of embarassment after seeing him...like that.

"Umm that's okay. Now, can I change my clothes right now?" Branch asked.

"Uhh... S....sure..." I answered and quickly go back at the Snack Pack.

"Um, Poppy? Why are you so red right now?" Chenille asked.

"W..what? Me?" Oh no. What if they knew about this?

"Yeah. Is there something happened?" Biggie asked.

"Uh..n..no, no! Let's just think about how we could go across this large river."

"Okay." They answered.

~~🌸~~

"Maybe a boat?" Branch said.

"Or a submarine?" Creek added.

"Or maybe build a bridge?" Branch said again.

"Wait! I have an idea." Creek said.

"What?" We all asked.

"A boat!" Creek answered.

"Yeah!"

"What?! That was my idea first!" Branch shouted.

"So I think I had a plan on how to get to the other side..." I said. "We need to get nearer in order to swing easily right? Now first, we go ride in the boat. Then, we should reach the tallest tree using our hairs and jump to the other side. Okay?"

"Woah! Great idea Poppy." Creek said.

"Thanks. Now, find a log. We can use it as a boat." I said. "Not too big. Just the right size to carry us all." I added.

"Okay!" They all answered.

Branch's POV

Ugh! It was my idea. By the way, I have to find a log to go to the other side.

While I was finding a log, I just saw Creek talking with a stranger that looks mysterious. The stranger is a Troll too but it looks like she had magical powers.

What are they talking about?

"Creek?" I whispered and quickly hid behind a bush.

"Who's that?" Creek shouted. And he began to whisper to the stranger, "Quickly, get out first."

And I just saw her magically disappeared.

Hmm... Suspicious...

I felt someone behind me. "Branch?"

"AAHHH!" I shouted. Ugh now Creek saw me because of Poppy.

She giggled and said, "What are you doing here?"

Before answering, I saw Creek looking at me with a suspicious look.

"Uh... Nothing! Looking for logs." I answered, pretending that I haven't know anything about what I saw.

"Hmm... Okay!" Poppy said and ran back.

Who is Creek talking to? And why is he even talking to a stranger?

Btw, the part where Branch saves Creek isn't a Breek moment okay? Sorry for the shippers but, I don't like that ship... Just reminding! XD
