"Branch!!!" Poppy screamed, running as fast as she could. "Where are you? Let me explain!!"

"Poppy!" yelled a voice from behind her.

"Branch?" Poppy asked, hopefully, turning around.

It was the troll poppy had been about to kiss.

Poppy hit him. "Thanks a lot, Olly!! Why couldn't you have made sure that there was no one watching us before you kissed me?! Branch has no idea that we're auditioning for the play, and be thought the kiss was real!!"

Olly stood there, panting. "I'm sorry-"

"You should be!!" Poppy yelled at him,angrily.

Just then, they heard a crash, followed by a scream.

Poppy followed it. She then found Branch, laying flat on the floor, his eyes shut closed.

Poppy knelt beside him. "Branch!! What happened to him?!" she asked Olly, without looking up at him.

"What about to happen to you," said a voice that wasn't Olly's.

"What-" she asked, turning around.

Before she was able to fully turn around, and hand wrapped around her eyes and mouth. She belt her hands being tied up to two other pairs of hands.

They were Branch's and Olly's.

What is happening?! Poppy thought.

Just then, the hands covering her eyes uncovered them. She looked around herself. Branch was couscous again, and Olly was looking around, confused.

She looked up at the only person who wasn't tied up.

And she couldn't believe her eyes.
