Poppy's POV: (in the middle of the night)
Everyone has been asleep for a couple of hours, but I just couldn't sleep. I just keep tossing and turning. Normally when I can't sleep, Branch always calms me down and I fall asleep, but I quickly remember that he's not here. Eventually, I give up on sleeping, and just sit there thinking about Branch and the fight. I decide to sing to myself, because that calms me down sometimes.

Quick key for the song: poppy=💗 and Branch=💙

💗"I know your favorite song
I hear it every day
Whoever made your smile
Made it to get in my way
And every time you laugh,
You make that little sound
It's just the hardest thing,
To love you but not know how
I hate that you're perfect,
You're perfect for me💗

At mount brodacious, Branch begins to sing with Poppy.

💙💗-What good are words when they always just get in our way?
And it hurts the most just to know that you don't feel the same, the same.
And I hate that your perfect, you're perfect for me
I hate that you're perfect, you're perfect for me.💙💗
During the last part of the song, Poppy and Branch touch hands (in fantasy of course)
I finish singing, and I start crying again, tears falling down my face. I don't care at this point, I just want my Branchifer back.

The next day (still Poppy's POV)
The next day, I'm once again sitting alone scrapbooking when Viva comes over to me.

"Hey Poppy. You okay?"

"Yes, Viva. I'm fine. Why do you keep asking?"

"I'm just trying to look out for you. You've been completely silent this whole trip, and that's not normal for you. I only want to figure out what's wrong with you."

"Well I don't need you to."

"Ok, what's going on with you? This isn't the Poppy I know."

"I'm fine, so just STOP!"

I didn't realize I had yelled until everyone else looked over at us.

"What's going on?" John Dory asks as everyone walks over to us.

"What's going on is Poppy is being incredibly stuck up!"

"I'm not being stuck up, I'm just worried!"

I walk up the stairs to where Branch's clue board is.

"Don't worry, Poppy. We'll get Branch back."

"But what if I don't want Branch back!?"

I pull out my scrapbook and look at a picture.

"Rhonda, pull over, now."

She stops a second later, making everyone jerk forward a little bit.

"Poppy, what is wrong with you!?" Clay asks.

"Branch and I had a fight the night after your guys' wedding, and he said he wished we were never dating in the first place, and now I'm scared that I lost the love of my life forever!"

I rip out the picture in my scrapbook, making everyone gasp. I crinkle up the paper and walk out of the bus.

No one's POV:
Viva slowly picks up the crinkled paper, and looks at it.

"This is a picture of Poppy and Branch... when they were kids. Poppy's been in love with Branch since they were kids." Viva says slowly.

"I had no idea." John Dory says.
