Branch ran as fast as he could towards the dam, Poppy and Barb following right behind him.

     Finally, he reached the dam, seeing Aqua swimming around in the river.

     He stopped, smiling, when he saw Aqua was alright.

     "Aqua!" he yelled out.

     It looked over, hearing his voice, and smiled, happy to see Branch was ok.

     Quickly, Aqua changed back into a dog, running over and tackling Branch to the ground.

"Ok... ok," Branch laughed, as Aqua licked his face. "I'm happy to see you too. Now get off. Your getting me all wet."

He gently pushed, Aqua off of him, petting it's head, as he smiled.

Then he looked at the river, seeing it was less than half full, his smile fading.

"It'll happen again..." he said sadly. "The water will evaporate, and Aqua will be in danger..."

His ears drooped, as he lowered his head in sadness.

"I can't let that happen..."

Poppy walked over, sitting down next to him, as she put her hand on his shoulder.

"We'll think of something Branch," she said, softly, trying to comfort him, but he didn't respond. He just kept his head lowered, as he held his eyes shut in sadness.

     Aqua whimpered, not liking the fact that Branch was sad.

     It crawled into his lap, snuggling up to him, trying to make him feel better, but Branch just pushed Aqua off of him, and stood, looking up at the dam.

     "I need to get rid of that dam," he said, softly.

     "If we destroy the dam... it'll take out troll village with it," Tula said.

     Poppy gasped, realization striking.

     "We have to destroy the dam!" she said, quickly.

     "What!?" Branch, Barb, and Tula all shout in confusion.

     "That's why the elements chased us away from Trollstopia. Not to attack us... but to protect us. That dam needs to come down!"

     "But, Poppy... our homes..." Barb said.

     Poppy shook her head.

     "It's the only way," she said.

     She turned to Branch, who looked at her, his eyes wide.

     "Do it, Branch."

     Branch nodded, and then turned to Aqua.

     "Aqua. I need you to ram into that dam," he said.

     It looked at him, confused, not understanding what he wanted it to do.

     Quickly, Branch ran over to the dam, using his hair to climb on top of it.

     "Come on Aqua!" he yelled from on top of the dam. "Hit it! Knock it down!"

     Aqua understood, and jumped into the river, forming into a giant wave.

     It struck the dam, causing it to shake a bit.

     Branch stumbled a bit, but kept his balance.

     "That's it, Aqua! Do it again! Hit the dam!"

     Aqua formed into another wave, slamming into the dam again.

     The dam cracked, water beginning to spray through it.

     "Yes!" Branch laughed, excited his plan was working.

     He turned, beginning to run off the dam, before it broke, but Aqua was already forming into another wave, ramming into the dam.

     The crack grew bigger, forming a large gap in front of Branch that he couldn't pass.

     "Uh..." he said stopping, as he looked at the gap. "Ok, Aqua... you can stop now."

     He turned, running the other direction, but Aqua hadn't heard him, and hit the wall again.

     Another gap formed in front of Branch, trapping him on the wall.

     Poppy noticed, beginning to get worried.

     "Branch! Get out of there!" she yelled.

     He froze, looking down at the dam crumbling bellow him.

     "Frosting..." he muttered, as Aqua hit the wall again.

     The dam collapsed, a gigantic wave bursting through, sweeping up Branch and Aqua with it.

     "BRANCH!"
