Cooper Looked At The Trees.
"I Can't Find Anymore Peaches! I'm Hungry..."

"Are You Wanting Peaches Because They're The Fruit Representing Booty?"
Prince D Asked.

Cooper Nods.
"Exactly!"

Prince D Chuckles.
"You Are One Weird Dude.....Respect That Man"

Both Brothers Fist Bump.

"Hey, Has Anyone Heard From Poppy And Frond Last Night?"
Smidge Asked.

"Delta Told Me Frond Took Her Somewhere Special"
Biggie Said.

"Ohhhh"
Smidge Said.

"But Why Would They Be Gone All Night? Why Do Couples Do That?"
Satin Said.

Chenille Whispers In Satin's Ear.

Satin Gasps.
"OMG! EWWWW"

Chenille Nods.
"Mhm"

"It's Not Like Them To Be Gone This Long Though"
Guy Said.

Tiny Shook His Head.
"They Dead Motherfookers-"

"Shh"
Guy Shushed.

"Don't Shush Me"
Tiny Replied.

"Oh Gosh, Now I'm Worried..."
Legsly Frowned.

"Hold Up Y'all, Lets Not Freak Out. Let's Just Look Around For Them. They Couldn't Have Gone Far Right?"
Prince D Suggests.

The Group Agrees.
"Yeah!"

Biggie Sighs.
"Well Wherever They Are, Hope They're Okay..."

~~~

~In A Volcano Cave~

Branch Slowly Regains Consciousness.
"Ugh.....Ow My Head....Ugh..."

Branch Opened His Eyes.
"W-Wh....Where..."

Branch Was Tied Onto A Big Stick.
"AH! WHAT THE-?!"

Branch Tried To Break Free Loose.
"UGHHH! WHAT IS GOING ONNNNN"

"Hey Hey-"
A Voice Said.

Branch Turned His Head.

It Was Barb.
"Ya Done? -.-"

"What The- Barb?!"
Branch Said.

"And Poppy-"
Poppy Added.

"Poppy?!?!?"
Branch Said.

"Mhm"
Both Girls Were Tied Up To A Stick Too.

"What's Going On?! Why Are We Here?!"
Branch Asked.

"Well Mr. Frond, Seemed Like A Romantic Dance Got Us Captured!"
Barb Said.

"W-Wha? Who's Frond?"
Branch Asked Confused.

"Uhhh.....You?"
Both Girls Say.

"Did The Island Provide This HUH?! -.-"
Barb Said.

"I Don't Know Who's Frond Or What Island Provided Anything"
Branch Told Them.

"Wait- Did You Snap Out Of Your Frond Phase?"
Poppy Questioned.

"What Frond Phase?? Who's Frond??"
Branch Asked.

"Wellll....."
Both Girls Gesture To Branch's New Look.

Branch Looked Down At Himself.
"AH! Where's My Vest?! There's Mud All Over Me! AND A BANDANA?!?! This Is Not Me!"

"That's The Point ThunderHead -.-"
Barb Glared.

Branch Thought.
"Waitttt.......Is Frond Another Verison Of Me That's Cool And Chill And Loosened Up And Changed My Personality From A Coconut That Hit Me On My Head?"

"Uhhhh........Yeah?"
Both Girls Say.

"How Did You Know?"
Poppy Asked.

"I Read Alotttt Of Shipwrecked Books"
Branch Told Them.

"And Guess Who Enjoyed Alotttt Of Frond's Antics"
Barb Looked Over At Poppy.

"Seriously Barb? -.- You Enjoyed It Too!"
Poppy Said.

"Okay, I'm Not Just Gonna Stay Here Tied Up And Listen To You Accuse Me Of Something That Is Obviously True"
Barb Turned Her Head.

"Ohhhh So You Liked Frond's Gestures More Huh -.-"
Branch Glared Over At Poppy.

"Hey! It's Not My Fault You Got Hit By A Coconut And Changed Your Ways! You Punched A Palm Tree!"
Poppy Argued.

"YEAH! FROM ARGUING WITH YOU!"
Branch Argued Back.

"GUYSSSS! Stop Arguing! This Is No Time For A Classic Broppy Fight 103"
Barb Told Them.

Branch Groans.
"Ughhh Whatever! Just- Who Brought Us Here Anyways?"

"Those Guys-"
Poppy Geatures.

4 Tiki Statues Walked Into With Arrow Staffs.

"Oh Boy..."
Branch Said.

The Tiki's Went In Front Of The Three Trolls And Pointed Their Staffs At Them.

"Holy Snoopy Those Staffs Are Pointy......So Cool"
Barb Said.

"Hold Your Staffs!"
A Voice Said.

The Tiki's Brought Back Their Staffs From The Trolls.

The 3 Blink.

"Well Well Well, If It Isn't Poppy, Branch And...... A Punker Girl? Who Are You?"
The Voice Said.

"The Better Question Yet Is, Who Are You?"
Barb Asked Back.

Someone Came From Beind The Tiki's.

Poppy And Branch Gasp.

It Was Creek, In A Black Robe.
"Greetings Old Mates 🙏"

"CREEK?!?!?!"
Both Say.

Barb Blinked.
".......Who?"

Creek Walked To Branch.
"Nice To See The Troll With Toxic Vibrations Again"

Branch Glared Angrily At Creek.
"-.-"

"Annd Poppy~ Boop!"
Creek Booped Poppy's Nose.

Poppy Shook Her Head.
"Ugh!"

"HEY! Don't Touch Her!"
Branch Said.

Creek Looked Back At Branch.
"Oh Branch, Still The Same. But....What Happened To Your Colors Mate? It's Blue-Ish"

"It's Called Gaining Happiness, Something You'll Never Get -.-"
Branch Said.

"Oooo Good One 😒"
Creek Rolled His Eyes.

"Okay I'm Sorry, WHO IS THIS CLOWN WITH THE NICE HAIR?!"
Barb Said.

"More So, Who Are You?"
Creek Asked.

"Um, Remember That Troll I Told You About That Was Gonna Let The Bergens Eat Us?"
Poppy Told Barb.

Barb Remembers.
"Ohhhhhhh! That Troll That Got Put In The Taco Then Betrayed You Guys?"

"Mhm"
Branch And Poppy Nod.

"Ohhhh........YOU SADDLE TRAMP!"
Barb Tried To Kick Creek.

Creek Backed Up.
"Whoa! Fiesty Much?"

"Yes Fiesty, And Not The Good Kind"
Barb Growled.

"Interesting..."
Creek Stroked His Cheek.

"It's Barb, Queen Of Hard Rock! And FYI, I Hate Your Shorts Dude. Those Are So Bland Yellow"
Barb Insulted.

Creek Gasps Offended.
"Oh How Rude! Poppy Made These For Me When We Were Teens"

Branch And Barb Slowly Turn Their Heads To Poppy.

".......Whaaat? We Were Very Close Friends"
Poppy Said.

"Wait- Queen Of Rock?"
Creek Raised His Eyebrow.

"Eh Long Story- THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT! What Are You Doing Here?! And How Are You Alive?"
Branch Said.

"Yeah! Cooper Set You And Chef On Fire And Went Into The Forest"
Poppy Said.

"Cooper Set Him On Fire?.....I Gotta Fist Bump My Bro Cooper"
Barb Said.

"ENOUGH! Since You Asked And No Way Your Escaping My Tiki Army. I Mind As Well Tell You"
Creek Said.

Creek Clapped His Hands.

The Tiki Statues Brought Creek His Built Throne.

Creek Sat On It.

"Ugh"
Branch Rolled His Eyes.

Creek Clears His Throat.
"There Is Only One Way To Describe This As......A Spiritual Awakening....Miracle"

~Creek's Explanation~

The Burned Pot With Chef And Creek, Rolled Up On A Big Hill.

Creek Sighed Relieved.
"Phew..."

Chef Rose Her Head And Grabbed Creek.

"AH!"
Creek Yelped.

Chef Brought Creek To Her Mouth.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!"
Creek Pleaded.

Suddenly, The Hill Split Apart.

And Chef And Creek Fell Down.
"AAAAHHHH!!!"

The Hill Closed.

"AAAAHHHHH! Oh Wait! I'm A Troll!"
Creek Remembers.

Creek Used His Hair To Swing Back Up Top.

"NOOOOO!!!"
Chef Shouted.

"Buh Bye!"
Creek Waved.

Creek Bursts Out The Hill And Back Onto The Surface.

Creek Dusts Himself Off.
"Ha! The Meditator Always Survives 😌, Now To Get Back To Troll Village And Ask For Their Warmly Forgiveness"

Then The Ground Began To Shake.

Creek Stops.
"Whoa Whoa Oh No!"

A Wormquake Began To Occur, As Dozens Of Wormholes Appeared All Over.

Creek Ran Around.
"AH! WHAT DO I DO! WHAT DO I DO!"

Creek Pulled His Hair.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!"

A Little Bunny Hopped Over.

Creek Turned To It.
"Hey Little Forest Friend, Do You Mind If I Stay In Your Burrow To Live?"

The Bunny Blinked And Kicked Creek Into A Wormhole.

"NUUUUUUU!!!"
Creek Fell Into A Wormhole.

The Bunny Shrugged And Hopped Away.

Creek Flew All Around The Wormhole.

"AAAHH! NO NO NO NO!"
Creek Squints His Eyes.

Creek Then Landed Into Another World And Fell Into The Ocean.

Creek's Eyes Began To Close As He Couldn't Breathe Underwater For A While.

Sometime Later, Creek Washed Up On The Island Shore 🌊.

The Tiki Statues Walked Up To Creek's Body And Took Him.

~End Of Explanation~

Creek Finishes.
"From 4 Years Then On, These Tiki's Have Named Me Their Choosen Ruler And Go By Whatever I Say."

"Whoa..."
Poppy Said.

"Dang..."
Barb Said.

"Creepo-"
Branch Said.

"And So, I Told Them About You. Annnnd They Don't Like You"
Creek Added.

The Tiki's Yell.

"Not Our Fault Your A Betrayer!"
Poppy Yelled.

"HEY! I Was Doing That For MY Own Good"
Creek Said.

"Which Is Selfish"
Branch Said.

Barb Shook Her Head.
"You Sneaky Little Elf Bit-"

"HEY HEY- No Need For Fowl Language"
Creek Said.

"What Have You Been Doing For 4 Years?"
Poppy Asked.

"Waiting.....And Waiting....Til I Get My Chance For Revenge For Trying To Burn Me Alive hEehHehEhHehHAHA HEAHAHAHAHAAHAHQKAOQUJQNQNQANNQBQANNASNQBQBWBIQ1KSJWNWDICKPOOL"
Creek Laughed Menacingly With A Snort.

"Seems Like You've Gone COMPLETELY Insane For 4 Years"
Branch Said.

"I HAVE NOT! I've Always Been At Peace"
Creek's Eyes Twitch.

"So What Are You Gonna Do? Kill Us?"
Poppy Said.

"Nahhh....I WILL KEEP YOU AS MY HOSTAGES AND YOU WON'T ESCAPE! HEHEHAHAUAUAIAIQKQMQNSIQQ9IQJQMQWKOSUEYEGWNWQKON"
Creek Laughed Crazily Again.

Branch Blinked.
"......Or What?"

Creek Shrugs.
"I Don't Know- Never Thought I'd Get This Far..."

"Hm, Well In That Case.......YAH!"
Branch Broke Loose Off The Stick.

Creek Gasps.
"NO!"

"SLICE N DICE! BAM!"
Branch Broke Poppy And Barb's Rope.

Creek Pushed His Tiki Army.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! STOP HIM!"

"You Two Go!"
Branch Pushed Both Girls To The Exit.

Barb And Poppy Ran To The Exit.

"Good Thing I Keep These In Handy"
Branch Took Out A Smoke Glitter Bomb Out His Hair.

The Tiki Army Ran To Branch.

"SKA-DOOSH!"
Branch Threw The Bomb And Ran.

One Of The Tiki's Caught The Bomb.

The Tiki Threw It To The Other.

And That Tiki Threw It To The Other.

And That Tiki Threw It To Creek.

"I Don't Want It!"
Creek Threw It To Another Tiki.

The 5 Played Hop-A-Potato With The Glitter Bomb.

~~~

Branch, Barb, And Poppy Jumped Out The Cave Exit In Time Before The Glitter Bomb Went Off.

💣 🎉 BOOM! 🎉 💣

Branch Sighs Relieved.
"Phew..."

The Snackpack Came.

"There They Are!"
Smidge Points.

"Are You All Okay?"
Biggie Asked.

"What Happened?"
Prince D Asked.

Branch Got Up.
"Ohhhh Don't Worry, Why Don't You All Go To FROND And Let Him Release Your Worries"

"Yep, Branch Is Back"
Guy Said.

Poppy Got Up.
"Whoa Whoa Whoa! Don't Go On And Put It On Them!"

"Yeah You're Right, Then I'll Put It On You Ms. OH FROND, IS SO RELAXED AND LAYED BACK, LET'S MAKE HIM OUR SAVIOR!"
Branch Intimidates.

"It Wasn't Like That Branch!"
Poppy Said.

"Oh?! Then What Was It Like!? HMMM?!?!?"
Branch Said.

"Well.....He Was Just More Calm With Situations. And Never Thought The Worse Unlike You! He Actually Knew How To Have A Change Of Perspective At Times Like This!"
Poppy Said.

"Yeah, Sounds Like A God Huh? Forget This, I'm Outta Here!"
Branch Started Walking Away.

The Snackpack Watched The Angst.

Barb Especially.
"( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"

"Where Are You Going?!"
Poppy Said.

"Elsewhere! Cause You All Can Depend On Frond Now To Help You Through This- Cause Now There Is A Idiot Troll From Our Past Now With A Whole Tiki Army! Who Knows What They'll To You. Soooo Imma Find A Coconut Then You Can All Have Your Frond Back!"
Branch Said.

"Oh You're Seriously Just Gonna Leave Us And ME In Danger?!"
Poppy Questioned.

"Without A Doubt"
Branch Kept Walking.

Poppy Got Upset.
"Ya Know, You Say You Love Me But Sometimes You Don't Know How To Show It!"

Branch Stopped And Turned To Her.
"......Maybe You Don't Know How To Feel It"

Branch Walked Away From Everyone.

Poppy's Ears Droop Down.

The Snackpack Frowns.

"....Poppy?"
Smidge Said.

"I Need To Be Alone Right Now Guys..."
Poppy Turned From Them.

Poppy Walked To The Opposite Direction, Wiping Some Tears Away.

The Snackpack Didn't Know What To Do, As They Felt Bad.

Barb Sighs.
"Man....There's Somethin' Going On Between Those Two"

The Snackpack Nods.
