"No! Stop!" Branch cried out, as a troll dragged him out onto the stage. He was now wearing a fancy tuxedo, and a red tie.

     "I don't want to do this!" he yelled, pulling free of the troll who held him, running backstage again.

     The audience watched in confusion, as more trolls dragged Branch back out on stage.

     They pulled him out to the center of the stage, before walking away.

     Branch stood completely frozen, as he stared out at the millions of people watching him.

     "Pst... Branch..."

     Slowly, he turned, seeing Poppy standing behind him at her keyboard.

     "You got this," she whispered, trying to calm him down.

     He gulped, turning back to the audience, his heart racing in terror.

     Slowly, Poppy began to play the tune of the song on her keyboard, Branch beginning to sing softly, his fear being heard clearly in his shaky voice.

     "♪ Here I am, once again... feelin' lost... but now and then..." he sang softly. "♪ I breathe it in... to let it go..."

     He smiled, beginning to calm down a bit, as he turned to Poppy, signaling her to speed up the melody.

     Poppy smiled, playing her keyboard at a faster tempo, like she had wanted to all along.

     "♪And you don't know where you are now. Or what it will come to if only somebody could hear. When you figure out how. You're lost in the moment you disappear!" he sang, dancing around the stage, as the audience roared with applause.

     "♪You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action. You're never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction. Not a fantasy. Just remember me. When it turns out right. 'Cause you know that if you live in your imagination. Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination. In my victory. Just remember me. When I make it shine!"

     The audience clapped, as the curtains slid shut, concealing Branch, and Poppy.

     "Oh my god, sweetie!" Árbol shouted, she and several others running out to congratulate Branch. "That was incredible!" a green troll said, shaking Branch's hand. "Who are you?"

     Branch looked at him, still shaking a bit.

     "I... I'm Branch," Branch said softly. "Who are you?"
"This is Mr. Eikner," Poppy said, wrapping her arm around Branch's shoulder. "Our principal."
"You don't go to school here?" Mr. Eikner asked Branch.

     "N... No," Branch answered. "I... I just..."
"Do you want to?" Mr. Eikner interrupted.

     "Me?" Branch questioned. "But the kids who go here are all like... crazy talented."
"Yeah!" Poppy said, giving him a quick noogie. "And so are you!"

     "But... I... I'm not good enough," Branch said.
"Are you kidding me!?" Poppy yelled. "You have the voice of an angel!"

     Everyone broke out yelling, over talking each other, trying to convince Branch to accept the offer, as he yelled, trying to deny.

     Poppy rolled her eyes, breaking away from the crowd, as she opened up the curtain.

     The audience looked at the stage, seeing all the trolls yelling at each other.

     "No! No! I... I can't," Branch argued.
"But you have to," Thorn argued.
"I'm not good..." Branch started, his gaze turning to the audience staring at him. "Enough?"

     Everyone stopped arguing, noticing the audience staring at them in confusion.

     "Uh..." Branch said softly, slinking back a bit, his eyes wide, as his heart raced in terror.

     "Hey!" Poppy yelled out to the audience, walking back over to Branch. He looked at her confused, as she continued. "This boy doesn't know if he's good enough to go to school here!" she announced. "What do you people think?"

     The audience immediately broke out into applause, and cheers of joy.

     Poppy looked at Branch with a smirk.

     "So?" she asked. "You in?"

     Branch looked around at all the trolls trying to get him to enroll in the school, and then the audience, who where still cheering for him.

     "O... ok..." he said softly. He looked back at Poppy, and smiled. "Ok. I'll do it."

     Everyone cheered, hugging Branch, excited he would be joining their school.
