Four months, 39 days...
Or was it 43...???
Still withering... Still waiting...
Barb has been stuck in this diamond Prison for who knows how long... If only she was dead now... Would she be missed??? She was tired of her life... All she wants is to be with her sister... But she can't, since she's dead...
Velvet and Veneer have been constantly stealing away her talent... They could be back for more any minute... She knows Poppy would come... Right? It's not like her to just ditch her in the bottomless pit... Not that she cared...
"If only I could see her now..."

Queen Barb
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Oh, simple thing ,where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
(Aaaaaaaaaah, so why don't we go)
(Aaaaaaaaaah, so why don't we go)
Somewhere only we know?

Inside Rhonda, Poppy noticed Floyd feeling a bit, unedged, his eyes downcast on the carpeted floor, Poppy went up to him, sitting next to him, "hey, you good?" Floyd shook his head, tears about to fall off his face, Poppy's eyes saddened by the expression worn on his face, "hey, it's okay," Floyd finally answered, his voice shaken, "easy for you to say... You don't know what it's like to be me..." Floyd wiped his tears away, and flinched as Poppy placed her hand on his shoulder...
"Hey, I won't hurt you, none of us will... You can trust us," Floyd was now questioning his choices, "w--we will, s--save Barb, R--Right?" He asked, stuttering mid-sentence, "you wanna practice, we need all the practice we can get if we wanna hit--!!"
"The perfect family Harmony, yeah, yeah, I know... Let's practice, hey guys..." Floyd caught his brother's attention, "wanna see us two practice? John Dory scoffed, "yeah right, as if you can sing a duet with Poppy! Bet it's not gonna be Pop..."

Queen Poppy
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Floyd and Poppy
Wake me up, (Poppy: wake me up inside)
I can't wake up, (Poppy: wake me up inside)
Save me, (Poppy: call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up, (Poppy: bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up, (Poppy: before I come undone)
Save me, (Poppy: save me from the nothing I've become)
Poppy
Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life
Floyd and Poppy
Wake me up, (Poppy: wake me up inside)
I can't wake up, (Poppy: wake me up inside)
Save me, (Poppy: call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up, (Poppy: bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up, (Poppy: before I come undone)
Save me, (Poppy: save me from the nothing I've become)
Poppy and Floyd
Bring me to life, (Floyd: I've been livin' a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside, without your touch, without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
Floyd
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
Poppy: I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Floyd: Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Poppy: Bring me to life
Wake me up, (Poppy: wake me up inside)
I can't wake up, (Poppy: wake me up inside)
Save me, (Poppy: call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up, (Poppy: bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up, (Poppy: before I come undone)
Save me, (Poppy: save me from the nothing I've become)
Bring me to life, (Floyd: I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

After the song, John Dory interrupted them, "hey guys, we're nearly here..." Floyd flinched at the sudden tone of voice from his older brother, "hey, it'll be okay, I hope..." Poppy gulped the lump in her throat... "Let's hope, Barb's not dead..."
