*at night, In poppy's pod*

*poppy was in her bed twisting and turning while whimpering*

*In Poppy's dream*

*poppy was running away from something that was chasing her*

Poppy: NO NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!

???: Run all you want princess but you can't escape the darkness

*Poppy continued running until she tripped on a rock and fell*

Poppy: AH!

*Poppy started backing up until a shadow cast over her*

???: Now prepare to DIE!!

*Then the Shadow Pounced on her*

*In reality, at night*

Poppy: AHH!!!

*Poppy hyperventilated softly, held her blanket close to her chest and started crying*

*Then she heard the door open and heard a familiar voice*

Branch: Poppy? What happened? Are you alright?

*her boyfriend branch asked her worriedly as he walked into her room and climbed onto her bed*

Poppy: Oh branch I had this horrible nightmare where th-there was this horrific monster *sniffles* a-and it was chasing me and it tried to hurt me and k-k-*Sobs and breaks down in branch's arms*

Branch: Hey Shh Shh Shh don't cry *wraps arms around poppy in a warm, comforting embrace and kisses her forehead* it's okay...how about this I'll stay here with you 'til you can sleep okay?

Poppy (frightened): you promise?

Branch: I Promise popkin

*Branch whispered to her and planted another kiss on her forehead*

*Then soon poppy fell asleep with her head and arm resting on his chest while branch laid on his back holding her close to his chest as the two fell asleep in their warm embrace*
