Everyone faced Spruce who stopped at his tracks.

Branch: What? 😒

Spruce: Will you guys get mad if I tell you this? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

JD: No. 😶

Poppy: Mad? Of course not. 😊

Clay: Nope. 😯

Floyd: No.... 🤨

Branch: No why? 🤔🤔

Spruce: Good because I need a john. Where can we find a john?

Silence came pretty quickly as they stared at Spruce. Their eyes widened, which they slowly turned to JD, who frowned for the first time on this trip.

JD: Huh?? Me??? You need me? I'm right here.

Spruce: No, no. You know....

Everyone: .......... 👀👀👀👀👀

JD: Are you sure that you're not talking about me?

Spruce: UGH, DID I SAY THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU?! IT'S A PLACE!!! A JOHN!!! 😤😤

Everyone: .........

Floyd: Umm....

Spruce: You know...a washroom? A comfort station? A latrine? You guys got to know about that one. Right!? Especially you, Bitty B!!

Again everyone shook their heads, except for Branch who blinked at him, not knowing what he was talking about, feeling confused while at the same time a bit annoyed again due to time being wasted on small talk. They continued to walk again.

Spruce: UGH, YOU GUYS ARE SO FOREIGN!!! 😤😤😤😤

Branch: OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THESE GUESSING GAMES!!! 😠😠😠

JD: Yeah. If you're trying to do those code messages, then I can't recall them.

Floyd: Me neither. Sorry...

Spruce: THEY ARE NOT CODES!!!!

Clay: OH YEAH, IF THEY'RE NOT CODES, THEN JUST TELL US!! 

Spruce: FINE, I HAVE TO GO TINKLE, OKAY!?! 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Spruce gasped, covering his mouth. Everyone stopped walking. All eyes were on him. JD slowly shook his head, Branch let out a heavy sigh, Poppy covered her mouth which she let out a small smile, Clay made tsking noises, and Floyd said I knew it, shaking his head. Spruce blushed and pressed his lips in a tight way. He glared at Branch and JD.

Spruce: THANKS A LOT GUYS!! YOU MADE A FOOL OUT OF ME!!! 😳😳😳😳

JD: That didn't come out of my mouth. (Snickers) 😏😏😏

Spruce: I'VE BEEN HOLDING IT FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES!!

Poppy: Uh, oh.

Branch: Oh, great. 🙄 This is what I was afraid of running into. 

Floyd: I did warn you not to drink two cups of iced tea before we left. But did you listen to me? No.

Spruce: WHAT? I WAS THIRSTY!! AT LEAST I DIDN'T DRINK ANOTHER ONE!! 😡😡😡😡

Floyd: Thank goodness!

Branch: Can you hold it just a little longer? We need to get to the red boulder before night.

Poppy: Branch...

Branch: (Smiles at Poppy and waves a hand at her) Don't worry, he can make it.

JD: (To Spruce) Yeah, bro, you'll be okay. Just hold it.

Spruce: I'll try..... 😖😖😖😖😖😖

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

Five minutes passed as everyone kept trudging through Troll Forest. The sun slowly moved in a different direction. Branch encouraged the others to go faster, though they moved a bit slower than when they first started.

JD: Man, that coffee went by me so fast.

Branch: Not you too. 😫😤

JD: (Smiles) Don't worry, I can wait until night...unlike Spruce. 

Spruce: 🥴🥴🥴 (Smiles at Poppy) 😁😁😁

Poppy: Branch, maybe we should let them go to the bathroom.

Branch: And not get to the red boulder on time? No. I can't let that happen. No bathroom breaks. That's final.

Poppy: You can't let JD and Spruce struggle until that time.

Spruce: Struggle? (Forces a smile) Oh, girl, We'll be fine. Right, JD? (Holds breath) 😁😁😁

JD: (Nods and smiles) 😁

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

They continued walking further into an area where there were lots of bushes. The more Branch walked, the more uncomfortable he was slowly getting into. Soon, it hit him.

Branch: Oh, great. Why did I drink that peach tea in one sitting? Okay, don't panic, Branch. Remember, you are a survivalist. This means, surviving any situation like this. You can do this. Just until we get to the red boulder. (Breathes in and out)

Clay: (Makes ringing noise) Hello? (Holds out his phone) H-Hey...yes...

Branch: What is he doing? 🤔

JD: Probably talking to his girlfriend...

Poppy: Oh, Viva? Aww, that's nice! 😊 

Floyd: Wait...how did he get Wi-Fi connection? 🤔🤔

They all stared at Floyd, then back at Clay who was still talking on the phone. He was right.

Clay: (Still on phone) Who.............but I'm out in the forest.................AW, MAN!!! (Puts phone away into his backpack) Sorry, guys. 😬😬😬

Branch: What? Don't tell me...

Clay: Nature just called me.

Branch: (Face-palms) 

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

Ten minutes later, Branch couldn't help but to cringe. Not only because he had to go more than before, but also, it's the fact of Spruce kept moaning louder by the minute and singing out of the blue.

JD: Could you SHUT IT FOR JUST ONE MOMENT AND STOP THAT MOANING, SPRUCE!!! 😤

Spruce: I CAN'T HELP IT!!! 😫😫 💜 I need to go to the bathroom. 💜 

Branch: FOR THE LAST TIME, SPRUCE, WE ALREADY KNOW!!! 😡😡😡

Poppy: Ugh, Branch, I know you want us to keep walking to the red boulder, but we are STRUGGLING!! 🥺😫🥺

Floyd: Actually, I don't need to go.

Poppy: Except for Floyd. Overall, look at your other brothers.

JD had a smile on his face, which didn't look like his usual calm smiles. He looked like as if he had seen something embarrassing. Clay kept singing all about nature calling him. Spruce was in panic mode, moving around.

Poppy: Plus, I need to pee! 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

Branch: Poppy, if you really think being specific about which one you need to do is going to make us stop, it's not happening. Sorry. N-No bathroom breaks.

Poppy: Well, then. I decree we should stop for a bathroom break.

Branch: WHAT!?! You can't just decree that. What gives you the right?

Poppy pulled out her Queen crown from her backpack, switching it from her Nature crown. She twirled around, smiling back at Branch, pointing at her crown.

Poppy: Ahem...Queen. 😏

JD: Oooo, you can't beat that, Bitty B. 😆😆😆

Clay: Yeah, are you going to listen to her? 😏😏😏

Branch: 😑

Branch stared at each of everyone, including Poppy who smiled and batted her eyes at him. He knew that he couldn't go over her (due to being Queen and double points for being his girlfriend) and while he might not like what she did, he still respected her. He took a huge huff at them, turning away from them.

Branch: Fine. Go ahead. (Mumbles) We're not going to get to the red boulder before night.

Poppy: I decree that we should stop for a bathroom break. 😁

JD, Clay, and Spruce: YAY!!!  🥳🥳🥳

Floyd: Yay. I'm just cheering for you guys...

Branch: 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

Spruce: Thank you! You are a lifesaver, Poppy. Now where would the nearest bathroom be?

Clay: Bathroom? Ha! There are no bathrooms here.

Floyd: No bathrooms?? (Holds breath) 

Spruce: WHAT!?! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Clay: Got to go. (Leaves)

Branch: (To Spruce) Oh, what's the matter? You expected a luxurious bathroom? Oh, I guess you'll have no choice but to go in the bushes.

Spruce: Hehe...ha! In the bushes!?! IN THE BUSHES!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! 😡😡😡😡😡

JD: (To Spruce) Whoa, whoa, calm down.

Spruce: CALM DOWN!?! I CAN'T CALM DOWN!! First, I never gone to the bathroom outside before. Second, I think I deserve something more pleasant than going in the bushes. And what about Poppy? Doesn't a beautiful Queen like her deserve better than going in the bushes?

Branch: (Pauses) Yes. You're right. (Looks away)

JD: True...

Spruce: Thank you. Now, let's go find a proper bathroom.

Poppy: Aw, that's so nice of you, Spruce, but I know how to go to the bathroom outside.

Spruce: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

JD: OoOoOooOoooo!

Branch: 😏😏😏😏

Spruce: (Eyes widened) Wait...y-you do?

Poppy: Of course. Learned from the best teacher. 

Poppy smiled at Branch who glanced at her. He rubbed his neck, blushed and smiled at her back.

Branch: Hehehe...yeah.

BroZone Older Brothers: (Glares at Branch) 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Floyd: (Eyes widened) Wow...

Spruce: Oh...you can...oh...(clears throat)

JD: Ooooooooo!!! You going to let a Queen beat you???

Spruce: DON'T EMBARRASS ME, BRO!!! (Clears throat and turns to Poppy) Could you excuse me for a moment? (Drops his backpack and runs off) CLAY, I NEED YOU!!!! 😫😫😫😫😫

JD: WAIT UP!! I'M GOING TO HELP YOU, BRO!!! (Runs in the same direction where Spruce and Clay went to)

Poppy: Good luck, Spruce!!! (To Branch) I'll be right back, Branchifur.

So, everyone (except for Floyd and Branch) went off into different directions of Troll Forest to go to the bathroom (which was odd to say since there were no actual bathrooms). On the other hand, Branch put his backpack down, walked over near a huge rock. He faced to Floyd who sat on a rock, fidgeting.

Branch: Are you sure that you need to go?

Floyd: I'm fine. I'm fine. (Puts on headphones, turning on MP3 Player)

Branch sighed to himself, pacing around near the huge rock, mumbling to himself.
