Branch POV:
Throwing things around, I got my hands on, in my bunker, tightened screws, on one of my machine. I stepped back to admire my work, but I'm not sure it was enough.
"Wow, looks good, Branch!" Cooper spoke up from behind me. Him, his brother and Barb, has agreed to approve my final work.
"Mh-hm Wills is gonna love that!" Barb Said, as Prince D and Cooper nodded in agreement, I'm certain, none of them even knew what it was gonna represent. "Hmm" I was thinking. "Yeah, You're right guys, it's not big enough!" I spoke, clearly not listening to a word they were saying. I started hammering on it again, adding more parts to the machine. "Her gift for me was ginormous!" I spoke up through all of the noise I'm making.
The three of them took a step back, and put on safety glasses. Screws, nails, and tools were flying around the room, making their glasses get kicked off their faces. "I'm gonna build her an outfit maker machine, for all her design ideas, and attach it to the hair styler!" I slightly yelled over the noise, before I stepped back yet again, from the now upgraded machine.
"Sweet! Now it's definitely done!" Cooper tried reassuring both me and himself, the other two nodding in agreement.
"Agreed. Still gotta go bigger-" I just answered again, listening wasn't mine and my girlfriend's strongest side. That's why we're so great for each other.
"I could attach a smoothie maker! So June can get her hair done, style, and drink her favourite Strawberry tow berry and banana smoothie!"
The three of them took safety helmets on, using a table, to shield them from the flying hammers and stuff I was throwing with. One of my tools, hit Cooper's yellow helmet. I stepped back for the third time, and admired the now ginormous machine, just as big as Juniper's.
The three of them peeked up from above the tipped Table. They all turned their heads, and looked at each other, wondering if I've finished.
I was breathing heavily, finally letting out a heavy sigh. "it's Perfect!" I yelled out, spreading both arms out to both sides, a hammer in one palm. I turned my head back to my friends, my gaze landed on Barb.
"Queen Barb, you wanna take this beauty for a spin?"
"Uh, yeah- no man."
"All right, here I am." I started, sitting down in the seat of my machine. I pushed the start button down as the machine started shaking.
"My hair's getting done, and then I'm like- 'Oh, Rats, I forgot to make an outfit for Biggie's half birthday!" I yelled out, over the shaking of the machine, the sound of it, ringing in my ears. It was only a sign, it was working. I pushed down another button on my side.
The machine pulled out fabric and a needle. It started sewing fabrics together, sewing them together into a dress.
My gaze shifted to my three friends in the bunker, they all have gathered a lot of pillows, making a protective wall out of them.
My attention wasn't at them for long as the machine showed me a light blue dress it have made. "It's working, it's working!" I yelled smiling a big smile.
"Yep, sure is!" All three of them said in reunion, their voices got muffled, as they have found a safe room in my bunker and quickly hid in there.
"And now for the final touch- The smoothie maker!" I yelled out, pushing down another button.
Unfortunately the arm, that was supposed to grab the fruits, missed and instead cut two important wires, making the machine glitch.
It didn't take long to notice, something was wrong, as the 'hair doer' sucked up, and my head got stuck. Pulling my head out again, I didn't get to react, before the machine grabbed my body, and put the newly sewed dress on me, at least that was a success. Maybe I have gone a bit too far.
The needle was suddenly pointed at me, I tried pushing myself out of the machine's tight grasp on my body.
The three of them peeked out of the room, they were hiding in, as they heard my scream. But before one of them could reach me, the machine exploded, making me fly up, nearing the ceiling, and flew through it, leaving a hole of my frame through my ceiling.
I didn't stay in the sky long, before I started falling again, and hit the ground harshly, making a thud.
I groaned loud enough for the whole forest to hear. "I think I broke my butt..."

Tiny Diamond POV:
I've finally made my way up all of those stone stairs, it took me a whole night to make it. When I reached the last steps, and made it to the top, I have been given a red cloak and have joined all of the monks in their meditation time. We weren't sat on the clouds beneath us, which covered the top of the mountain, we were all floating mid air, no one has said a word since I arrived.
I slowly opened one eye, peeking around, a long time has passed by and the Gift-swap was tonight!
"Guys, how am I supposed to get my flow back, if you're all doing this vow of silence thing?" I asked straight out, still not getting any answers. One of the cloud Monks flew by and gave me a tea, I just shrugged and drank it, finishing it in the same sip. That's when I realised something was written on the bottom of my cup.
"You already have the gift? Pff, that's nonsense Tea..." I scoffed, throwing the cup as I leaned my head on my fist.
"Ahem!" One of the clouds suddenly cleared their throat, making my attention shift to him, he looked me in my eyes, as his was as big as plates. His eyesight shifted to my cup, referring for me to look, which is what I did. I stretched my legs, as I stood down on the clouds again, I pulled my hood off of my head and looked down. The tea has spilled on the clouds, making a new sentence. "Look through the clutter."
I huffed yet again. "What Clutter?" I was getting pretty annoyed, I didn't understand what they were telling me nor if this was a waste of time!
Suddenly the words formed into a face, which was moving. "Come on Tiny, what makes him so special?" It spoke in a deep voice.
"W-what do you mean, 'what makes him so special' he's just my-" I started and then a gong was slammed at, making a long ringing sound.
It has come to me. "Daddy!" I finished my sentence. A golden light from the sun, shone down on me. I could feel my flow coming back to me, music in the background started playing and I prepared my rap. ๐ต
Yeah! Okay. I think I got it now!๐ต
๐ต
Been around the world, trying to get my flow back. Couldn't find a single rhyme, everything I said was whack! But then a Cloud Monk gave me Tea and hit a gong, and I finally realised that I had it all along! So i'mma flip this verse like I flip a burger patty, thought I had to rhyme with 'Diamond' when I could've rhymed with 'Daddy'๐ต
I rapped beautifully, my rhymes were so accurate and I really like how it turned out.
"Yes! I got my flow back~" I yelled out in victory, ripping the cloak off of me and ran to the stairs. Instead of walking down all of them, I jumped out, skipping a few steps on the way, now I had to prepare my gift for my daddy, I only had a couple of hours, but I know he will
get proud!
~~~
"I got my flow back. Uh, I got my flow back, yeah." I sang quietly to myself, walking my way through the forest.
I pushed Branches aside, before I notice something right in front of me. I gasped in shock, as I saw it was a someone. The big, black haired, Troll, was lying on the ground, face buried in the ground.
He slowly turned around as he heard my gasp, he must have blacked out. "Ow..." he groaned.
As he turned around I could identify him, it was Branch.
"What's up Branch? You look, uh... You look bad, man." I spoke, jumping up on his face, looking down at him.
"No other way to say it, what happened?" I asked, leaning my arm on his nose.
"Ugh... I failed, Tiny." He groaned. "I tried to make Juniper the most perfect gift, but it blew up in my face- literally." He spoke slowly sitting up, making me glide down from his face. He caught me with his palm.
"Say no more, bro. Let Tiny, help you out!"
"Yeah? Okay." Branch answered he really looked lost.
"You just need to look through the clutter and focus on what's important." I wisely said, whispering the last part, I saw his face turn into a confused one.
"You already have the gift, dude. You. Already. Have it!" I tried whispering it to him, letting his thoughts take over my words. He looked around, before closing his eyes, making a magical golden sunlight shine down on him, I looked up at it in awe, before leaning over to Branch's ear. "Bla-Dow." I whispered in his ear, before leaning back in his hand. He opened his eyes yet again.
"You see it now, don't you?" I spoke up, after I saw a small smile, forming into a bigger one, a glow in his eyes.
"Nope, not even a little bit." He then said as his sparkle in his eyes and wide smile faded yet again, as the magical golden sunlight stopped shining down at him.
"Oh, come on! The light shined in a magical way, and even the wind blew in a magical way!" I complained as Branch looked around our surroundings confused.
