Poppy's POV:
Everyone gathers around me, tears forming in their eyes.

"Come on man." Spruce says tearfully.

"We need you, Bitty B. The band isn't complete without you." John Dory says, a tear falling down his face.

Viva gently places her hand on my shoulder.

"He's gonna be okay, Poppy."

I look her with tear stains on my face.

"And what if he's not!?" I yell.

I turn back to look at Branch's now silver face.

"I'm so, so sorry, Branch. I was so focused on worrying about the future and being jealous of Viva, that I took what I had for granted. I wish I could've had more time to be with you, because you're the best thing that ever happened to me."

I starts crying harder afterwards, tears falling down my face and sobs escaping my mouth.

I suddenly feel a hand on my cheek. I look down, and he's there, smiling at me.

"I forgive you, Poppy."

I feel the biggest smile spread across my lips.

"BRANCH!"

I throw myself onto him, wrapping him in the biggest hug ever. I feel everyone hug around us, and for the first time in days, I actually feel happy again.

After a while, everyone else pulls away, but I don't. I just sit there, soaking up every single moment I have with him.

"Uh, Poppy? You gonna let go now?"

"Seriously? After having a massive fight, almost losing you, and not being able to do this for 2 days, you seriously think I'm gonna let go?"

"No, but I do think you might wanna see Velvet and Veneer getting arrested."

I immediately pull away and look in front of me, and sure enough, Velvet and Veneer are being taken away in handcuffs.

I turn and look at Viva.

"I told you he would be okay."

I smile at her before giving her a hug.

"Thank you, Viva. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about the whole fight."

"It's okay, I get it. You were going through a lot, after watching your sister get married to your boyfriend's brother, and having a fight that big can make a person become really closed off."

"Yeah. Say, you and Clay have seemed really secretive since this trip. You sure there isn't something going on?"

"No, I'm fine, Poppy. Now go be with your boyfriend."

Viva signals behind me, and I see Branch with his brothers.

"I'll get them away from him so you two can have a moment." Viva winks at me before walking away.

I see her whisper something to Clay before they all slowly start talking to each other away from Branch.

I walk over to him and take his hand in mine. He turns to face me, smiling.

"So, how are you feeling?" I ask.

"Happy, grateful, and, really sorry I said all of those things the other night. I will never wish we weren't dating."

"Woah, boundaries my man. That is a lot of feelings."

Branch starts chuckling, and then, I grab him by the vest, and kiss him. I feel his hands on my face, and I smile, not breaking apart.

After a moment, we finally part, catching our breath. I smile at him.

Suddenly, Viva clears her throat.

"Hey, guys. There's something Clay and I have been meaning to tell you guys." Viva grabs Clay's hand before looking at him.

"What is it, Veev?" I ask, still holding Branch's hand.

"Well... this is kind of hard to say."

"Wait, are you guys already breaking up?" John Dory asks.

"No, of course not. It's more like a new member of the band."

I think about what that Viva just said, and my eyes go wide when I realize what that means.

"Oh my glitter, Viva! You're pregnant!"

Viva only smiles and nods at me.

I run over and hug her with my whole body.

"Uh, Poppy. You're kinda crushing me and the baby a little."

"Sorry! I'm just so happy for you!"

I climb off of her and help her up.

We look over and see Branch and his brothers congratulating Clay.

"I can't believe I'm gonna be an aunt!"

"And I can't believe I'm gonna be a mom." Viva says, smiling.

"I really can't wait to see all of the boys as uncles. That's gonna be hilarious." I say.

"It really will be." Viva replies.

A few days later:
Viva and I stand in our front row spots with dad. It's been a few days since we all rescued Branch, and it's been great. Viva and Clay told dad that he was gonna be a grandfather, and he practically fainted, but was excited in the end. Brozone is going on one more tour, since after Viva has the baby, Clay will be busy taking care of both of them. And as for Branch and I? We've been spending every second we can together, because we realize how precious our time is together.

They all appear on stage, and Viva and I are the loudest in the entire crowd.

"Just let me take you to a better place
I'm gonna make you kiss the sky tonight
Yeah, if you let me show the way (show the way)
I'm so excited to see you excited
I'll take you to a better place, yo-hoo-ooh
And, baby, you can love me on the way
We're flyin' up to outer space
I'm so excited to see you excited, yeah
I like to see you lose control (yeah, yeah)
(Ain't nobody better, we do it better)
I know a place, say that you'll go with me
(Ain't nobody better, we do it better)
Just let me take you to a better place (better place)
I'm gonna make you kiss the sky tonight
Yeah, if you let me show the way (show the way)
I'm so excited to see you excited
I'ma take you to a better place, yo-hoo-ooh
And, baby, you can love me on the way
We're flyin' up to outer space
I'm so excited to see you excited, yeah
I like to see you lose control (yeah, yeah)
(Ain't nobody better, we do it better)
I know a place, say that you'll go with me
(Ain't nobody better, we do it better)"

At the end of the song, Viva and I are still screaming like fangirls.

Suddenly, I look next to me and see Viva is on stage with the rest of them.

I watch Branch walk down the stage towards me, and I'm just confused.

"Poppy, we have one more song to sing, and I wanted you and Viva to sing with us. So, what do you say?" Branch holds out his hand for me.

"How could I say no to the cutest Brozone member?" I take his hand as he pulls me up on stage.

"I hope you know this one." Branch says smiling.

Branch starts singing a song I know all too well.

💙"You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you"💙

Branch signals for me to join in with him, and I do, dancing while singing.

💙💗"So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
I see your true colors
Shining through (true colors)
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful (they're beautiful)
Like a rainbow
Oh oh oh oh oh like a rainbow"💙💗

Branch spins me one more time, and when I turn around, I see him on one knee. I let out a slight gasp, my heart pounding.

"Poppy, we have been through so much together in the past year and a half. We've become friends with the bergens, united all of the troll tribes, and reunited me with my brothers. If it weren't for you, I would still be hiding away in my bunker, away from the world. So, poppifer, will you make me the luckiest troll alive, and marry me?"

I stand there for a moment, eyes filled with tears.

"YES, YES, YES!! Of course I'll marry you, branchifer!!"

He stands up and slides the ring onto my finger. I look at Viva, and she's smiling with the rest of Branch's brothers.

Branch looks at me, the biggest smile on his face.

"I love you, Poppy."

"I love you too, Branch."

I feel Branch grab my waist and pull me in for a kiss, and I can't help but feel like this is only the start of our lives.
