Everybody Couldn't Believe Poppy's New Bad Girl Appearance.

Branch Examined Poppy.
"Poppy....What In The World Happened To You?!"

Poppy Crosses Her Arms.
"Heh, Oh Brancho My Man. I've Really Taken An Interest In Rebellion Lately"

"Mmm......I Like It"
Barb Said.

"Lately?! WE JUST LEFT YOUR POD 10 MINUTES AGO!"
Branch Said.

"Duhhhh, Gave Me Enough Time To Change My Positive Attitude.....To A Negative One"
Poppy Smirks.

Everyone Gasps.

Biggie Shook His Head.
"Poppy No.....THIS ISN'T YOU!"

"No Kidding Biggie, Now Shush"
Poppy Said.

Biggie Gasps.
"Y-You.....Shushed Me 🥺"

Guy Covers Tiny's Eyes.
"The Despairrrr..."

"AYE DADDY! I WANNA SEE!"
Tiny Pouts.

"Heh, Poppyyyy, Can We....Chat For A Sec"
Branch Pushed Poppy Away.

Poppy Slapped Branch's Hand Away.
"Watch The Nails Brancho!"

"First, OW!"
Branch Rubbed His Hand.

"Second, WHAT THE BARNACLES ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!"
Branch Said.

"It's Like You Said Branch, My Optimism Is The Cause Of My Bad Dreams"
Poppy Said.

"Yeahhhh Annnnd?"
Branch Said.

"Wellllll I Thought If I Be The Totally Opposite Of My Joyful Self, It Will Reverse My Bad Dreams Back To Good Ones!"
Poppy Explained.

Branch Raised His Eyebrow.
"............THIS WILL NEVER WORK!"

Poppy Scoffs.
"Pfff- What Do You Know Short Pants"

Branch Gasps Offended.
"But.....These Are My Favorite Shorts 🥺"

"...........I'M SORRY! I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE YOUR SHORTS! THEY'RE ADORABLE!"
Poppy Yelled.

"AH-HA! See! You'll Give In Too Much To The Naughtiness. This Won't Work"
Branch Said.

Barb Peeked Over.
"Hey, Are We Talking About Pinkie's New Rebel Side? If So, I'm All For It"

"YES!"
Poppy Said.

"Wha- NO! Don't Encourage Her!"
Branch Said.

"Take A Chill Pill Brancho-"
Poppy Said.

"I WILL NOT TAKE A CHILL PILL! I WILL TAKE A NON-CHILLING PILL IF THAT MAKES SENSE!......WHICH IT DOESN'T!"
Branch Said.

Barb Wrapped Her Arm Around Poppy.
"C'mon Poppy, Lets Explore Your New Rebel Side"

"I Thought You'd Never Ask"
Poppy Winks.

"B-BUT!"
Branch Said.

"LATER BIG NOSE! HA!"
Poppy Laughed.

Poppy And Barb Walked Away.

Branch Pouts.
"Hmph-"

Poppy Peeked Back Over.
"JUST KIDDING! I REALLY ADORE YOUR NOSE!"

"Cmonnnnn-"
Barb Dragged Poppy Back.

Branch Rolled His Eyes.
"Girls..."

Later On...

Hickory Was Sitting On A Bench, Being Grumpy.

Poppy Walked By.
"HEY HICKORY! 😄. Oh- I Mean Uh........"

Poppy Clears Her Throat.
"Sup Hick 😒"

Hickory Stared Blankly.
"Yeah, Hey Poppy-"

"Mind If I Sat Down?"
Poppy Asked.

Poppy Remembers.
"Wait Poppy- Rebels Don't Ask Questions............"

"I Mean- I'm Gonna Sit Cause I Do What I Want! Cause I'm A Bad Girl!"
Poppy Sat Down With Her Arms Crossed.

Hickory Rolled His Eyes And Chewed On His Wheat.

Poppy Tried To Look Like She Had A No-Care Attitude.

Trollex Floated By.
"Heya Poppy And Hickory! Nice Day Today Huh?"

"Whatever I Guess"
Hickory Said.

"YEAH! WHATEVER! I DON'T CARE! AS A MATTER OF FACT! I THINK IT'S GONNA START STORMING!"
Poppy Yelled.

Poppy Looked Away......But Then Couldn't Keep It Up.

"BUT THEN AGAIN! THERE MIGHT BE A RAINBOW! 😅.......but rainbows are dumb 😒..............OR POSSIBLY SUNSHINE DAY WITH A SMILING SUN! 😁...............yet smiling is for peasants 🙄..............JUST KIDDING! SMILING IS FOR EVERYONE WITH A GOOD HEART!"
Poppy Tried Smiling.

Poppy Sighs, Looking Down.

"You Ain't Good At This Are Ya?"
Hickory Said.

Poppy Shook Her Head.
"No.......No I'm Not"

"Yeah Uh Huh, More Like Kinda Bad At It"
Hickory Added.

Poppy's Ears Droop Down And Got Up.
"Yeah...."

Poppy Walked Away.

Poppy Came Back.
"BUT YOU'RE ALSO BAD AT IT!"

Poppy Walked Away.

But She Came Back.
"THATS A LIE! YOU'RE GREAT AT EVERYTHING! KEEP IT UP BUDDY! 👍"

Poppy Walked Away.

Hickory Shook His Head.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk, That's Why Young Gals Stay Home At Their Time Of The Month"

~~~

Poppy Continued Strolling Around Trollstopia.

"Cmon Poppy Cmonnnn! Gotta Be Bad! Naughty! A Rebel! There's Gotta Be Something Bad I Can Do"
Poppy Said To Herself.

Poppy Looked Around Her.

Poppy Noticed A Couple Of Trollings With Balloons.

Poppy Grinned.
"Ah-Ha!"

Poppy Ran Over To The Trollings.

"Hey Kidsssssss"
Poppy Waved.

"Hi Queen Poppy!"
The Trollings Say.

Poppy Took A Pushpin And Popped Their Balloons.
"Pop! 😁"

The Trollings Looked At Their Popped Balloons.

And Started To Cry.

"😭😖😭😖😭😖😭😖😭"
The Trollings Cried Loudly.

Poppy Felt Bad.
"WAIT WAIT NO! DON'T CRYYY! I'M SORRY!"

The Trollings Kept Crying.
"😭😭😭😭😭😭😭"

Poppy Gulps.
"UM....UHHH...HERE HERE! HAVE THIS!"

Poppy Gave Each Trolling A Stuffed Animal.

The Trollings Stop Crying.

"YAYYYY!"
The Trollings Cheer And Snuggle The Stuffed Animals.

Poppy Sighed.
"Enjoy...."

Branch And Barb Watched From A Bush.

"Oi Yeesh.....I Never Thought She'd Go This Far. I Mean Popping Kids Balloons? How Bad Can She Possibly Be?"
Branch Said.

Barb Shrugs.
"I Don't Get Why You Don't Approve Of This. I Like This New Rebel Pinkie. Gives Me Someone To Relate To!"

"Well I Don't Like It. This Isn't Her. The True Her...."
Branch Frowns.

Barb Blinks.
"Then Ya Better Stop Her Fast Before She Uses The Skull Guitar I Used To Turn Everyone Into Rock Zombies-"

"Yeah, Letting Her Use The Skull Guitar That You Used To Turn Everyone Into Rock Zom- WHAAAAT!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?"
Branch Yelled.

Poppy Was Running Up A Hill With The Guitar Barb Used During Her Concert.

Branch Pulled His Hair.
"No No No No NO! SHE'S GOING TOO FAR! C'MON!"

Branch And Barb Went After Poppy.

~~~

Poppy Ran To The Top Of The Hill With The Guitar.

Poppy Made It To The Top.

Poppy Held The Guitar.
"Can't Believe I'm Doing This......But- It's To Get Away From Bad Dreams"

Branch and Barb Ran Up The Hill As Fast As They Could.

"POPPY! POPPY WAIT!"
Branch Shouted.

Poppy Inhales.
"For Rebellion...."

"Oh Dang She's Really Gonna Do It!"
Barb Said.

"POPPY! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Branch Screamed.

Poppy Was About To Play The Guitar.

But Stopped Herself At The Hearing Of Branch's Scream.

Poppy Turned To Them.
"Huh? Branch? Barb? What Are You Guys Doing Here???"

Branch Went To Her.
"Stopping You From Doing Something Out Of Line!"

"Yeah Girl! I Mean I Was All For Naughty Pinkie But Not Knowing You'd Stoop This Low"
Barb Said.

Poppy Gripped The Guitar.
"B-B-But If I Do This Bad Thing, I Won't Have Any More Bad Dreams!"

"But Is This Worth It?! Doing This Rebel Act And Turning Everyone Into Rock Zombies All For Not Having Bad Dreams. What's More Important Here?"
Branch Said.

Poppy Sighed And Looked At Herself In The Guitar's Reflection.

"Oh You're Right Branch, I Don't Know What I Was Thinking.....This Is So Out Of Character For Me....Should've Known This Was A Bad Idea From The Start"
Poppy's Ears Droop Down.

Poppy Dropped The Guitar Down.

Branch Put His Hand On Her Shoulder.
"Just Because You Have Bad Dreams, Doesn't Mean You Need To Change Everything Great Abour Your Optimistic Self. Nothing Is Worth Your True Heart"

Poppy Smiled And Immediately Hugged Branch.

Barb Just Stood There.
"Mm- Cheesy"

Poppy Had Tears Of Joy.
"Awwww Branch, Thank You. What Would I Do Without A Troll Like You In My Life"

Branch Shrugged With A Smirk.
"Probably Be Dead"

"True"
Poppy Giggles.

"Actually, I'm Surprised We're Both Still Alive From What We've Been Through"
Branch Said.

"Glad I'm Still Alive With You~"
Poppy Held His Hand.

Branch Blushed.
"Heh Heh"

"Okaaaay So Like, Are You Gonna Keep Having Bad Dreams?"
Barb Wondered.

Poppy Scratches Her Head.
"I Have No Idea"

"Maybe You Won't After What You've Done Today"
Branch Said.

Poppy Thought.
"But How Can We Test It?"

Barb Suddenly Punched Poppy In The Face.

Poppy Dropped To The Ground, Unconscious.

Branch Stood There Shook.
":O"

":O"
Branch Slowly Looked At Barb With His Jaw Dropped.

Barb Looked At Him.
"What? When She's Unconscious She'll Have A Happy Dream. Alll Gooood Bro"

Branch Facepalms.
"🤦‍♂️"

~~~

~At Night, In The Bunker~

Branch Was Sleeping In His Bed.

Branch Twists And Turns, Having A Strange Dream.

Branch Squints His Eyes As He Dreams.

Then All Of A Sudden, He Wakes Up.

With His Eyes Widen, Branch Couldn't Believe What He Dreamt Of.

Branch Looked Over At A Photo Of Him And Poppy.

Branch Sighs And Broke Into A Song.

🎵 I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream🎵

🎵 Like all at once I wake up!🎵

🎵 From something that keeps knocking at my brain....🎵

Branch Got Up From His Bed.

🎵 Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head🎵

🎵 And spring up in my bed screaming out the words i dread....🎵

Branch Rubs His Head.
🎵  Now I wake up with this feeling-🎵

🎵 I don't know how to deal with and so I decide to myself...🎵

🎵 I'll either hide it to myself or never talk about it🎵

🎵 Or just not go and shout it when you walk into the room....🎵

Branch Picked Up The Photo.
🎵.........I think i love youuuu🎵

A Spotlight Shines On Branch As He Sings Out His Feelings.

🎵 Ohhh I think I love you!🎵

🎵 So what am I so afraid of?🎵

🎵 I'm afraid that I'm not sure of...🎵

🎵 A love there is no cure forrrr~🎵

🎵 I think I love you!🎵

🎵 Isn't that what life is made of?🎵

🎵 Though it worries me to say...🎵

🎵 That I never felt this way!🎵

Branch Placed The Photo Back On His Shelf.

Branch Sat Back On His Bed.

Now Processing His New Feelings For Poppy.
