Stealthily, Branch snuck threw the halls, rolling past gaps in the hallways like an adorable super spy. Meanwhile... Poppy just walked...

     "Branch... would you stop messing around?" she sighed, rolling her eyes. "We don't have that much time left."
"You can never be too safe, Poppy," he replied in a whisper, peaking out from behind a wall, to make sure there were no guards, but Poppy just groaned in frustration, walking right past him.

     "How do we find the stone of dreams?" Poppy finally asked, stopping to look around. "My guess is that if we find that king dude, we find the stone," Branch replied, as he jumped out from behind the wall, spinning around defensively. "Hi-ya!" he shouted, chopping his hands threw the air, and whipping his hair.

"Ugh..." Poppy groaned, rolling her eyes at him. "I never should've taught you hairjizu." She walked away from him, slightly annoyed.
"Poppy! Wait!" he called out after her, noticing she was leaving, but she didn't stop, suddenly disappearing behind a wall. "Pencil role!" he shouted, dropping down to the floor, and rolling after Poppy.

—————

     Branch ran, jumping into another hallway, as he held up his hands, trying to be intimidating, but no one was even there.

     "Geese," he complained. "Where the heck are all the guards in this place? I wanna kick some butt!"
"Easy, Branch," Poppy said calmly, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Let's just find the stone, and get out of here."

They both looked around for a moment, Poppy suddenly gasping, as her eyes widened in shock.

"Look!" she shouted, pointing down the hallway. "There he is!"

     Branch and Poppy both looked down the hall, seeing King Oomar walking past.

"Hide!" Branch whispered firmly, quickly pushing Poppy behind a wall.
"Carful," Poppy whispered angrily, as she fixed her hair up a bit.

Sneakily, Branch peeked around the wall, watching as King Oomar walked into a room, disappearing from sight.

"Ok Poppy," he whispered to her. "You stay here. I'm gonna go give this guy what's coming to him." He cracked his knuckles with a sinister smile.

"What!?" Poppy gasped, looking at him in shock. "Branch, no! Let's just keep a low profile, ok?"
"Ugh... fine," Branch sighed, secretly relieved that she had said that. "But you're still staying here, where it's safe."
"Ha," Poppy laughed sarcastically. "No way. We're in this together."

She walked past him, heading straight towards the room where King Oomar had gone.

Branch sighed, knowing he couldn't stop her, so he just went with her, making sure she stayed safe.
