The group continued to wander deeper into the forest, still absolutely no sign of Biggie after hours of just walking.

"I wonder how far we'll have to go until we find at least something." Branch was leaning on Guy's shoulder, frowning, "I was really certain he's alive."

Guy patted Branch on the back, "We'll be out here for another two days, I'm sure we'll find some sign of Biggie."

The last few hours they've all gone through mood swings. They'd have a lot of hope and then suddenly be hopeless and it was just a roller coaster of those two emotions the entire time.

Poppy ran in front of the group to block them from moving, "Hey, how about a quick break? We could eat snacks and play a game!"

"Why?" Guy tilted his head, "I don't think any of us are too hungry yet."

"Just to destress a little! We're all super stressed about Biggie, right?"

Branch and Guy looked at each other and slowly nodded, while Hickory and Delta shrugged.

"It isn't good for our mental health to just be stressing over him.." Poppy looked at Branch and frowned, "We need to think of the things that make us happy besides Biggie!" She reached into her hair and later out a picnic blanket for them to sit on. She sat them all down, "Did anyone bring some snacks?"

Everyone remained silent. Some of them did bring things, but they wanted to save them until they desperately needed them.

Guy groaned and reached in to his hair, "I wanted to wait until we found Biggie to have these." He pulled out marshmallows, crackers, and chocolate.

Tears immediately flooded Branch's eyes, "S'MORES!" He snatched the bag of marshmallows and hugged it. "We ate these the night of the camping trip." He rolled on to his stomach and let it all out.

Poppy sat next to him and rubbed his back, "It's gonna be okay."

Branch sat up, just to fall into Poppy's lap, "I wish we never went on that stupid trip."

Poppy put her finger over his lip and shushed him. "Think about it this way; if you didn't all go, no one would have warned the village about the tornado. All of Troll Village would be dead or at least seriously injured, no one would've been able to protect the pop string when Barb tried to unite the world with rock, if you think about it, that trip saved the entire world."

"It didn't save Biggie's life, though." Branch burst into tears again and buried his face into Poppy's shoulder.

Poppy sighed and hugged him tightly, "I love you so much."

Hickory grabbed four crackers, two marshmallow, and some of the chocolate bar, "You guys can continue your pity party or whatever is goin' on, but we're going to eat s'mores."

Delta nodded and trotted off to gather firewood so they could roast the marshmallows.

"Oh, right." Poppy gave Branch a kiss on the cheek and left to help Delta.

Branch rubbed his eyes and wiped his tears away, slightly embarrassed.

Guy gave Branch a quick hug, "Don't worry, Branch. We're going to eat these delicious campfire snacks and then we'll find Biggie, I know it."

Branch smiled and nodded his head, "Okay."
