"I'm Sure He's Used To It"
Poppy Shrugs.

"Yeahhhh...."
Barb Played With Her Straw.

Outside, Branch And Riff Were Looking Through The Window.

"Okay, Got The Plan?"
Branch Asked.

Riff Was In A Greygon Costume.
"Do We Have To?"

"Yes, Now Suck It Up, And Put On Your Costume And Go Wait Behind The Bush"
Branch Instructed.

Riff Sighs And Zipped Up His Costume And Hopped Down From The Pod And Ran Behind The Bush.

Branch Started Knocking On The Door.

Poppy Opened The Door.
"Ugh, Seriously Branch? We Told You No Boys Allowed!"

"I KNOW! I KNOW! B-BUT IT'S A EMERGENCY!"
Branch Said.

"Emergency?"
Poppy Rasied Her Eyebrow.

Barb Crosses Her Arms.
"What Kinddd Of Emergency?"

"I FEAR I SAW A GREYGON LURKING IN THE VILLAGE!"
Branch Told Them.

"Oh Really?"
Poppy Said.

"CUM SEE FOR YOURSELF!"
Branch Hopped Down.

Poppy And Barb Look At Each Other, And Roll Their Eyes.

All The Girls Went To Follow Branch Around The Village.

"And Where Did You See This Greygon?"
Poppy Did Air Quotes.

"It's Around Here Somewhere! I Know I Saw It!"
Branch Looked Around.

Poppy And Barb Roll Their Eyes.
"🙄"

"OH DEAR! I HOPE SOMETHING UNEXPECTEDLY DOESN'T JUMP OUT OF THESE BUSHES!"
Branch Shouted.

Nothing Came Out.

The Girls Look Confused.

"._____. I Saidddd, I HOPE SOMEONE UNEXPECTEDLY DOESN'T JUMP OUT OF THESE BUSHESSS!!!!!"

Branch Said.

"I Am In The Greygon Costume"
Riff Zipped Down His Coustume.

Branch Blinks.
"Then....If You're Riff- Then Who's?"

The Second Riff Ripped Off Their Mask To Reveal A Real Greygon.

The Greygon Roared At Them Hungrily.

Everyone's Eyes Widen.
"O______O"

"A-A Actual..."
Branch Slowly Pointed.

"RUNNNN!!!!!!!"
Poppy Yelled.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
Everyone Screamed And Ran Away.

The Greygon Grew Big And Roared And Ran After Them.

The Girls Ran In Different Directions.

The Greygon Ran After Poppy And Branch From Behind.

"HE'S GAINING!"
Poppy Shouted.

"HOLD ON!"
Branch Grabbed Poppy Close To Him.

Branch Used His Hair And Swung Up Top To A Tree.

Both Land On A Tree Branch.

The Greygon Stopped And Snarled And Went In A Different Direction.

Poppy And Branch Breathe Heavily.

"Awweee Rugratty-Frash..."
Barb Said.

The Greygon Slowly Approached Growling.

Barb Turned Around And Backed Up To The Rock.
"H-Heyyy There Monster Breathhh..."

The Greygon Growled More.

"Uhhh.....You Need A Waxing Around That Hairy Area? 😁"
Barb Held Up Waxing Pads.

The Greygon Roared Angrily.

Barb Squinted Her Eyes And Held Her Knees.

Riff Was Behind The Greygon.
"UHHHH- YO GREYGON DUDE!"

The Greyon Turned Around And Growled Down At Riff.

Barb Opened One Eye.
"Riff...?"

"UMMMM.....THE CAVE 2 MILES FROM HERE IS SELLING MEAT!"
Riff Said.

The Greygon Got Into His Suit And Held His Suitcase.
"Oh Really?! Thanks For Telling Me! Toodaloo! 👔"

The Greygon Hopped In It's Lamborghini And Zoomed Away. 🚘

"BRING ME BACK SOMEEE!"
Riff Shouted.

"WILL DOOOO!"
The Greygon Replied.

Barb Got Up And Walked Over To Riff.
"Riff!"

"I Didn't Think That'd Actually Work"
Riff Shrugs.

"Me Either. Thanks"
Barb Smiled A Bit.

"Heh, Just Assisting"
Riff Said.

"Yeahhh, But You Did Sneak Into Our Private Girls Sleepover AND Scared Me With That REAL Greygon -.-"
Barb Formed A Fist.

Riff Gulps.

"Mmmm Then Again, You Did Just Save Me Soooo"
Barb Said.

Riff Sighed In Relief.
"Phew..."

Both Stood Awkwardly.

Barb Punched Riff's Shoulder.
"That's For Scaring Me-"

Riff Held His Shoulder And Rubbed It.

Barb Suddenly Grabbed Riff And Kissed His Cheek Quickly.

Barb Part Away.
"And That's For......Everything Else..."

Barb Quickly Walked Away And Climbed Up A Tree, Back To Trollstopia.

Riff Just Stood There, With A Slight Blush.

Branch Came Up Beside Him.
"Uhhh, Did She Just...?"

"I Think She Did..."
