     Branch and Poppy sat at a table, waiting for their meals to arrive, as Branch picked the wax out of his ear with his finger.

     Poppy looked at him disgusted, still not understanding his behavior that night, but decided not to say anything about it. At least he wasn't yelling anymore...

     "Here you go, Poppy," Dante said, flying over and placing a strawberry frosted cupcake with a cherry on top in front of her. 

     He pulled a bar of chocolate out of thin air, holding it up.

     "Freshly grated chocolate, Poppy?" he asked politely.
"Oh, most certainly," Poppy replied in a fancy accent.

     Dante took out a violin, beginning to play it with the chocolate bar, small shavings of chocolate falling down onto her cupcake, as they chuckled softly.

     "Hey!" Branch yelled, getting impatient. "What about my food!?"

     Both Dante and Poppy looked over at him confused and concerned, but finally, Dante cleared his throat, placing Branch's food on the the table in front of him.

     "And... uh... Branch?" Dante said cautiously. "Are you sure you want your steak... raw?"
"Yeah, man," Branch laughed, taking a fork and jamming it into the raw steak.

     "Oh yeah," he said, sniffing the chunk of meat. "Smell that!" He shoved the steak into Poppy's face, causing her to flinch, scooting back a bit.

     "Y... yeah..." she said nervously. "Smells... good?"
"Heck yeah, it does!" Branch yelled, biting into the meat, and trying to pull it apart with his teeth.

     Dante and Poppy both shuttered, Dante leaning over to whisper something into Poppy's ear.

     "If you need anything else..." he said, watching Branch with wide eyes. "I'll be right over there."

     Quickly, he flew away, trying to get as far away from Branch as possible.

     "Uh... Branch?" Poppy said. He raised his eyes to look at her, the steak still hanging out of his mouth. "Are you sure you're feeling ok?"

     He dropped his meat down onto his plate, burping loudly in Poppy's face.

     Poppy gasped, jumping up to her feet as everyone in the restaurant turned to stare at the two of them in shock, offended by Branch's sudden outburst.

     "That's it!" Poppy yelled, finally having enough of Branch's rude behavior. "I'm leaving!"
"Ok," Branch shrugged. "See ya."

     Poppy glared at him, turning to stomp away, as Branch picked back up his chunk of meat, biting into it again.
