No one's POV:
"And then Branch got his true colors back, we danced with each other, and then the rest is history." Poppy says, one of her hands on top of Branch's.

"Wow, so that's really the first time you sang in 15 years?" Viva asks curiously.

Branch and Poppy give each other a knowing look.

"That actually wasn't the first time I sang. Poppifer, you wanna take the lead on this one?"

"Sure! So, Branch and I were teenagers, and he was still gray..."

Flashback to when Poppy and Branch were teenagers...

16 year old Poppy walked through the forest, looking for a certain gray troll.

Poppy sees him collecting things for his bunker, and uses the opportunity to invite him to another party.

"Oh, Branch!!" Poppy calls out.

The second Branch hears Poppy's voice, his heart melts, but he doesn't show it.

"What do you want, Poppy? I'm busy"

"I want you to come to the next party!"

Poppy holds out an invitation for Branch to take, but he just stands there with an annoyed expression on his face.

"I'm not going to your party."

Branch then begins to walk away, but Poppy follows him.

"Ugh! Why are you so boring? You don't sing, you don't dance, and you're so gray all the time! Why can't you lighten up!?" Poppy asks, annoyed.

"Because I don't want to!"

Poppy and Branch get close to each other. So close that their faces are only a few inches away from each other. Suddenly, Poppy starts singing.

💖"Yeah
Think I won't keep up, got a lot to prove
But you ain't ever seen everything I can do, let me show ya"💖

Poppy starts to walk away, but she hears Branch start singing too.

💙"Oh, no, I'd never say that
Right now you'll bring me back
And it's never ever been me versus you, no"💙

Poppy walks toward Branch as he walks towards her, a fire in both of their eyes.

💖💙"Always settin' fires whenever we're put together
We can't even be in the same room
Can't even pretend that I can get you out my head, 'cause
I'm overthinkin' 'bout you
Why do I always get like this whenever I'm around you?
Around you (Around, around, around you)
And how do you get under my skin when I don't wanna let you in?
Let's face it that maybe we like this as much as we hate it
And I can't take it
Why does it always come to this whenever I'm around you?
Whenever I'm around you"💖💙

As they sing, Poppy and Branch dance with each other, the fire in their eyes only growing stronger.

💙"Mm-hmm-mm, goin' head-to-head
Gonna watch my back (Better watch your back)
'Cause I've seen it all before, lookin' at our past"💙

💖"Ooh, you're so dramatic"💖

💖"I'm not
Just stop, gonna lose my head (My head)
It's like you're tryna push me right to the edge"💖

💖💙"Always on the wire whenever we get together (Together)
We can't even be in the same room (Same room)
Can't even pretend our situation will get better
I'm overthinkin' 'bout you
Why do I always get like this whenever I'm around you?
Around you
And how do you get under my skin when I don't wanna let you in?
(Don't wanna let me in)
Let's face it that maybe we like this as much as we hate it
And I can't take it (Oh, no, no)
Why does it always come to this whenever I'm around you?
Whenever I'm around you
Ah-ah-ah (Around), ah-ah-ah (Around)
Ah-ah-ah (You)
Around you
Does the struggle ever end?
Do enemies become friends?
Why do I always get like this whenever I'm around you?
Around you
And how do you get under my skin when I don't wanna let you in?
(How does this feel like this?)
Let's face it that maybe we like this as much as we hate it
And I can't take it (I can't take it)
Why does it always come to this whenever I'm around you?
(Whenever I'm around you) Whenever I'm around you
Around you
Whenever I'm around you (Whenever I'm around you)
Whenever I'm around you (No, I can't be around you)
I can't be around you (But I wanna be around you)
I wanna be
Around you"💖💙

As the song finishes, Branch and Poppy stop dancing, and just stare at each other. Branch then grabs his things, and walks away, leaving Poppy alone. Her heart starts beating really fast, and once she puts two and two together, she smiles while blushing.

Back in the present...

"And that was the first time I sang in 15 years." Branch says, his arm wrapped around Poppy's shoulder.

"Wow, that's so ADOREABLE!! You guys hated each other but liked each other at the same time!!"

"I guess you could say that. But now, we're happy, and we certainly don't hate each other. Right, Poppifer?"

"Definitely."

Branch looks at Poppy before giving her a kiss on the lips. Poppy wraps her arms around his neck, smiling, glad that she was so stubborn.
