Before the movie

Poppy was laying on her bed that night thinking of a certain troll. She tried most of her life to make him happy, but nothing seems to work. But, she's not gonna stop until he's happy. Over the years, she's noticed something. Not only did she want to make him happy, she was head over heels in love with him. There was no denying it at all. Poppy has never noticed it till now. She can remember the first time she met him.

Flashback

Six year old Poppy was taking a stroll to her favorite garden. She kept walking until she felt a raindrop on her nose. She looked up, noticing gray clouds rolling in, then rain started to pour in a second. Poppy struggles to find a place to take cover. Luckily, there was a cave not far from her, so she took off running towards it. As soon as she reached the cave, thunder & lighting started, making her squeal in fear. She was sitting away from the entrance, sitting on the ground, hugging her legs. Poppy has a huge fear of thunder storms. She knew her father would be worried if she didn't return home soon, but she couldn't do anything about it at the moment. As the thunder & lighting keeps going, she started crying. A few miles away, eight year old Branch was trying to find shelter from the rain. He stops finding someone in the cave. As he looked closer, it was Poppy shaking in fear with her eyes closed tight. He kneels beside her & gently placed his hands on her shoulders. The feeling made her open her eyes & looks at him.

Branch: Don't be scared, Poppy. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Poppy: How do you know my name.....? Who are you.....?

Before Branch could answer,

*BOOM*

Poppy: Kyaaa!

Poppy: Kyaaa!

Poppy buried her face in his chest, shaking violently. Branch couldn't help but blush. Nothing like this has ever happened to him before. But, he shook that feeling & hugged her lightly, even though he's not use to them.

Branch: You hate thunder storms, don't you?

Poppy: *nods*

Branch: I can understand that.

Poppy: So....cold.....

Slowly, Poppy drifted to sleep while laying on Branch's lap. He felt his pulse speeding up seeing her sleeping, she looked like an angel. He took out the blanket from his hair & places it on top of her, keeping her warm. He couldn't help but look at her, she looks adorable when she's asleep. He placed his hand on her back, stroking it gently. After a while he fell asleep as well.

A hour later

Branch woke up, seeing that the storm has finally stopped. He looked down at Poppy, who's still asleep. He didn't want to wake her up, but he knew that everyone is worried about her. He shook her lightly, trying to wake her up.

Branch: Poppy, wake up. Poppy, the storm stopped.

Poppy: Mmm.....

Poppy wakes up, yawning, & rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She nearly forgot about the storm.

Poppy: How long was I asleep?

Branch: For an hour.

Poppy: !! Oh no, I gotta get back! Dad's gonna be so mad at me!

Branch: Well, it looks clear out there. So, you better would hurry.

Poppy: Yeah, thanks. Oh, I never got you're name.

Branch: It's Branch.

Poppy: Thanks for being there for me.

Branch: No problem.

Before Poppy was about to get out of the cave, she went back & gave Branch a small peck on the cheek, then went home.

*Flashback ends*

Poppy's P.O.V

It was something I never wanted to forget. I could still feel his warm touch, when he was comforting me during the storm. Now, whenever there's a storm, all I think about is the first day we've meet. Branch, I know I can get on your nerves sometimes,
