Branch crossed his arms as he sat in the back of Rhonda, he and his brothers were once again on another BroZone tour, but the tours were beginning to get the best of him and he grew sick of them.
John Dory: Here we go, another BroZone tour with mis hermanos! Let's do this!
Branch: Yay...
They arrived in Pop Village and Branch reluctantly stepped out. It wasn't that he didn't love being with his brothers, he just didn't like the constant tours, for once, he just wanted to settle down and get some quiet time, maybe even meet someone.
Floyd: What's up? Got the pre show jitters?
Branch: Huh? Oh...yeah, yeah, you could say that.
Floyd gave Branch a skeptical look and put his arm around his baby brother.
Branch: Sorry, I'm just tired of all these shows. Don't get me wrong, they're fun, but I just need a little break.
Floyd: I get it, little bro, I need a break too. But hey, I think this may be the last stop on our tour, then we can head home.
Branch nodded, still keeping his arms crossed.
Branch: You're right, I just with John wasn't so strict about this whole Perfect Family Harmony thing.
That was true, they've been on about the Perfect Family Harmony for a long time. Well, mainly John Dory, he was so determined to hit it and it was wearing out the other brothers. They weren't having as much fun as they used to.
Branch: Know what I mean?
Floyd: I know exactly what you mean, Branch.
Branch's attention was suddenly shifted when he saw a group of Pop Trolls crowded around a small stage.
Branch: 'Scuse me.
He went over to see what was going on, the Trolls clearly seemed excited over something but what? He pushed his way through the crowd and he almost felt his heart jump out of his chest. Up on that little stage was a beautiful Troll in pink hair and a blue dress, she was the queen of the Pop Trolls, Poppy. Branch wanted to say something, but he couldn't get the words out, he was too stunned. Her beautiful singing voice had apparently silenced him somehow.
The day after you said goodbye All I did was lay in bed and cry But after one month, I started to move on And after two, I felt alright Then three months in, you were off my mind
And month four and five, I was living my life I was better and didn't have to try Not to think of you, until you reached out And said, "Remember that night?"
We went for a drive, 2:30 in the morning I kissed you, it was pouring We held each other tight before the night was over You looked over your shoulder Oh, I was doing fine You said, "Remember that night? Remember that night?" Oh, I was doing fine You said, "Remember that night? Remember that night?"
The day after you had reached out I was broken for the second time around I prayed on the third day that I would be okay That I'd forget you were ever mine Oh, I don't think you realize
How long I had to fight to be living my life To get better and never have to try Not to think of you until you reached out And said, "Remember that night?"
We went for a drive, 2:30 in the morning I kissed you, it was pouring We held each other tight before the night was over You looked over your shoulder Oh, I was doing fine You said, "Remember that night? Remember that night?" Oh, I was doing fine You said, "Remember that night? Remember that night?"

Remember that night?" Oh, I was doing fine You said, "Remember that night? Remember that night?"
Branch was left stunned by her beautiful singing voice, something was tugging at his heart, but he just couldn't explain it. What was it? He just felt so...drawn to her, like a magnet to metal.
John Dory: Bitty B, where've you been? We got a show to do!
Branch: Huh? Oh...yeah, yeah, right. I'll be right there.
Branch was still kind of lost in a trace as he watched Poppy, there was something about her that was making him so infatuated, he just couldn't explain what it was.

Later, Branch located Poppy in the village grounds putting her ukulele back in her case. She smiled and hugged her case before putting it away.
Branch: Hey...Poppy, right?
Poppy: Yup, why do you ask?
Poppy didn't even look in Branch's direction. She seemed a little too busy, much to Branch's disappointment.
Branch: I just wanna say...you have a really beautiful singing voice, I can tell you love what you do.
Poppy: You can bet it, the Pop Trolls love singing, dancing, and hugging.
Branch: Pfft, I should know, I'm a Pop Troll too, I'm in a boyband for crying out loud!
Poppy face lit up as soon as she heard the word "boyband." That was when she finally looked in Branch's direction.
Poppy: Wait a minute...I know you!
Branch: Really? I-I get that a lot, I've been touring for-
Poppy: No, I really know you! You're Branch! From BroZone!
Branch was taken by surprise when Poppy suddenly hugged him with all her might. He wasn't expecting this from the queen of the Pop Trolls, guess she was very affectionate.

Branch: Is...this your way of saying hello?
Poppy: Yes and no, I'm just a huge fan, I've listened to all your songs!
Branch: Really?
Poppy: Every single one! Haven't missed a single album release! Of all the BroZone members, you're my top favorite!
Branch was a little surprised when he heard that. He had a fan? He never really thought he would get a fan as his brothers seemed to always get all the attention while he was often forgotten. Sometimes when signing autographs or getting photos, the fans didn't even remember his name, and this was a shock when Poppy not only knew his name, but claimed he was her favorite.
Poppy: What brings you into town, Branch? I didn't know BroZone was coming to the village!
Branch: Well, actually, Poppy, I'm here because we have a concert happening later today.
Poppy: Really?!
Branch: Yeah, you're more than welcome to come if you want.
Poppy squealed and hugged Branch again, once again taking him by surprise.
Poppy: How could I say no?! A BroZone concert?! Right here in the village! It's an absolute yes from me! I'll definitely be there!
Branch: Okay...well, I'll see you tonight.
Branch took a VIP ticket out of his hair and handed it to Poppy, she was stunned. VIP to BroZone?! Yes please!
Poppy: Thanks, now I'll definitely go, no doubt!
Branch: See you then, Poppy!
Poppy: See you, Branch!
Branch waved to Poppy as he left to join his brothers to get ready for the show. He felt good about himself knowing that this last stop on his tour had helped him to gain a friend...and maybe even something more. Something that would someday become everlasting and unbreakable.
