     "Do you even know where we're going?" Barb whined, as she followed behind Poppy and Branch.

     "Of course he does," Poppy said, smiling. "Right, Branch?"
"Weeeeelllll..." he replied, smiling innocently.

     Poppy's smile faded, as she stopped walking, looking at Branch, confused.

     "You don't know where we're going!? I thought that voice was guiding you!"
"Yeah... well..." he paused, looking away from her, as he whispered his next sentence quietly and quickly, hoping Poppy and Barb wouldn't understand him.

     "I kinda... haven't heard it since before you two showed up."

     "What!?" both girls screamed. Branch flinched, his ears dropping a bit in fear, as he looked at them.

     "So... you've just had us wondering around aimlessly for the past three hours!?" Barb yelled.

     Branch gulped, backing away a little.

     "Y... yes?" he said quietly, slowly nodding his head.

     "Why you little... get over here so I can kill you!"

     She pounced at Branch, but Poppy quickly grabbed her, holding her back.

     "BARB! Calm down!" Poppy yelled, trying to keep her away from Branch.

     "I'm gonna kill him!" Barb shouted, struggling against Poppy.
"No one's killing anyone!" Poppy yelled in return.
"He got us lost, Popsqueek!"

     Branch blinked, suddenly not scared anymore, as he slowly approached Barb.

     "Me? What do you mean, I got you lost? I told you two not to come! You're not even supposed to be here!" Branch yelled.

     "I should've let you fall off that cliff, when I had the chance!" Barb yelled, still trying to pull away from Poppy. "You'd be dead right now if it wasn't for me."

      "Pft..." Branch scoffed, rolling his eyes, and crossing his arms. "I wouldn't of even fallen off that cliff if you hadn't been chasing me!"
"Well... I wouldn't of been chasing you, if you hadn't punched me!" Barb yelled.
"I wouldn't of punched you, if you hadn't attacked me first!"
"Well I wouldn't of attacked you if you hadn't..." she paused, trying to think of a response.

     Branch smirked, knowing he had won.

     "Well... it doesn't matter! It's still you're fault!" Barb screamed.

     "Oh yeah?" Branch said, getting closer.
"Yeah!" Barb replied.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"OH YEAH!?
"YEAH!!!!"

     They where both in each other's faces, breathing heavily in anger.

     "Bow chicka bow wa wa... wicky wicky..." Poppy sang, as she danced up next to the two of them.

     Barb and Branch turned their heads to look at her, confused.

     "Uh... Poppy?" Branch said, confused.
"What are you doing?" Barb finished, even more confused.

     "Just... easing the tension," Poppy replied, continuing to dance, as she made noises weirdly.

     "Woohoo! Ha! Ha! Ha!" she laughed, finishing off with jazz hands.

     Both Branch and Barb stared at her, not saying a word.

     She looked between the two of them, smiling awkwardly.

     "Did... did it work?" she asked, hopefully.

     "Nope..." Branch said, crossing his arms, as he shook his head.
"Not at all," Barb added.

     Then they looked back at each other, growling in anger, as they both pounced.

     "No! Guys! Stop! Stop fighting!" Poppy pleaded, as the two trolls beat each other up.

     "Your fault!" Barb screamed, punching at Branch's face.
"Your fault!" Branch yelled back, pulling at Barb's hair.
"Your fault!"
"Your fault!"
"YOUR FAULT!!!!"

     "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

     Branch froze at the sound, looking off in the direction it came from.

     Barb punched him in the face hard, as he stopped paying attention to her.

     "Ow!" he screamed, rubbing his cheek. "Knock it off, Barb! Get off of me!"

     He pushed her off of him, and stood looking around.

     "Oh no..." she said, softly, shaking her ahead, as she glared at him, cracking he knuckles. "I am not finished with you yet."

     She jumped to her feet, charging at Branch, who was still looking around, not even noticing her.

     Quickly, Poppy grabbed onto her again, holding her back.

     "No, Barb! Wait! Look," Poppy said, pointing at Branch.

     He took a few steps forwards, his ear twitching, as he listened for the noise.

     "Aaaaaaaaaaaa!" he suddenly heard again.

     He turned towards it, beginning to run in the direction it was coming from.

     "This way! Hurry!" Branch yelled back to them, as he ran.

     "You still aren't the boss of me," Barb said, crossing her arms, as she looked away.

     "Come on, Barb!" Poppy said, joyfully, as she ran off after Branch.

     Barb watched them disappear into the forest and then sighed.

     "I'm coming cuz I want to come!" she yelled after them. "Not because you told me to!"

     Quickly, she ran off after them, unaware that they were all being watched.
