Poppy smiled and closed her scrapbook smiling at the kids, she was back in her usual outfit and tiara.
Poppy: That's how we found peace and made new friends out in the unknown. No matter where you go, you'll always come across a friendly face. It's not harmony if it's only in one place.
The pop queen held Branch's hand and smiled looking down at her ring.
?: Queen Poppy?
Poppy: Hmm?
?: Does this mean that all aliens are kind now?
Poppy: I don't know, but I do know that if not, you would always find a way to make them smile.
The moment was suddenly interrupted when Poppy and Branch both her lasers outside. Poppy looked outside her pod and saw Sonar blasting random things with his vaporizing gun.
Sonar: Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
Poppy: Sonar! No vaporizing Pop Village.
Sonar: My bad, Barbie!
Poppy cleared her throat and crossed her arms.
Sonar: I meant Poppy! My bad!
Branch smiled with his arms crossed and took Poppy's hand in his.
Branch: Come on, Poppy.
He led her away from the bustling village and up a hill and they both sat under a tree.
Poppy: What's up, Branch?
Branch: Thought you might wanna get away for a bit and...y'know, get some time with your future king.
Poppy blushed and tucked her bangs back.
Branch: Hey, listen.
Poppy: Yeah?
Branch: Everything we went through a few weeks ago...I don't regret going after you. It was legitimately terrifying, yeah, but it was worth it.
Poppy: Really...?
Branch: Definitely...and even in captivity, you still had an unbroken spirit, I really like that about you.
Poppy: Thanks, Branch...that means a lot. I still hate that my birthday didn't go the way I wanted though.
Branch: Well...maybe we can make up for it.
Poppy: What do you mean?
Branch: C'mere.
Poppy blushed when Branch touched her cheek lightly and gave her a reassuring smile. Then he took his fiancée's hands and gently kissed her lips. Poppy was taken aback but then she melted into the soft kiss letting it sink in for several seconds.
Branch: Feel better?
Poppy: Yeah, thanks, Branch...
A couple minutes passed and Poppy and Branch both sat in silence, Poppy rested her head on Branch's chest watching the sun disappear into the west. The whole experience felt like a vivid dream, but every time she looked down at the ring on her finger, she was reminded that it wasn't a dream, it was real. Otherwise, she wouldn't be engaged.
Poppy: Oh! Branch!
Branch: What?
Poppy: Let's head back, our engagement party starts soon!
Branch: Wait a minute, engage-whoa!
Branch gasped when Poppy grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the village where there was a huge party going on. Everyone was partying the night away for the newly engaged Trolls.
