Velvet: Ugh, no sign of BroZone!

Veneer: No, but I have an idea! We could practice!

Velvet: Ha! I wanna be famous, but I'm not gonna work for it! Ewww!!!

Veneer: Come on! We used to make up little dances together all the time, remember? Hip hip! Twist! Flip!

Velvet groaned and picked up the diamond bottle.

Velvet: Our dances sucked! How many fans do you think we can get making up sucky dances?!

She shook the diamond bottle numerous times.

Poppy: Please stop, I'm gonna be sick...!

Finally, Velvet sprayed herself draining Poppy's talent, she moaned as tiny bits of her life were being flushed out like a vampire sucking blood.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to be abused
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to be abused

Hold your head up
Keep your head up
Hold your head up
Keep your head up

Sweet dreams are made of this, hey
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas, yeah

Poppy's heart shattered when she heard Velvet's fake voice. It made her sick to her stomach knowing that that was her talent she and her brother were using.

Velvet: That's more like it!

Poppy looked down at her feet and she gasped when she saw that from her knees to her toes, she was turning translucent and glittery.

Poppy: How can you be so heartless?! You're draining the life out of me! I have a family that's worried about me!

Velvet: Ugh, I'm exhausted by this drama! Come on, Veneer, we still have a show to do, and a huge yacht to buy for the big show this weekend.

Veneer: You mean we'll be dancing?!

Velvet: Absolutely not, now shoo!

Velvet shoved her younger brother out the door and it closed behind them. Poppy gulped nervously and sat down hugging her knees and burying her head.

Crimp: My wifi doesn't work so great in the closet...

?: Poppy!

Poppy woke up from her brief sleep when she heard a familiar voice. She looked around and saw Branch right next to her bottle pressing his hand against it.

Poppy: Branch...! You're here...!

Branch: Are you okay?

Poppy: I don't know...they already did a number on me...

Poppy looked down at her now translucent hands and legs. She pressed a hand against the diamond bottle lining it up with Branch's.

Branch: I'm gonna get you out of here, Poppy.

Poppy: Branch...I'm scared.

Branch: Don't worry, I'm gonna make sure nothing happens to you.

Poppy felt a little better hearing that from her boyfriend, but she still didn't know what was in store for her. She looked around for a moment before turning back to Branch, her heart pounding like a drum.

Poppy: Branch...Velvet is so cruel, she's a vampire! All she cares about is getting singing talent without having to practice. What if she gets all my talent...?

Branch: She won't, Poppy, I'll do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen. Do you trust me?

Poppy: Of course.

Branch blew a kiss and despite her situation, Poppy could feel her heart flutter, even if it was just for a second.

Poppy: Are you sure you guys can hit the Perfect Family Harmony?

Branch: Absolutely, now I have a reason to try it again. If it means freeing you, then it'll be worth it.

Poppy: Really...?

Branch: Yeah...if it means freeing you, then it's worth it.

Poppy: Okay...thank you, Branch.

Branch: You're welcome, just hang tight, okay?

Poppy: I'll try.

The moment was suddenly interrupted when they heard the door open and saw Velvet and Veneer's shadows.

Velvet: Our voices sucked! We sounded like garbage out there!

Spruce: Yo, Bitty B, time to go!

Branch looked up at his brothers who were hiding in the top vent holding the rope he descended down to talk to Poppy.

John Dory: Now or never, little bro!

Branch looked back at Poppy who had a terrified expression on her face and her hands pressed against the bottle. Her facial expression read "Please don't leave me."

Branch: Don't worry, Poppy, I'll be back, I promise.

Poppy: Please...take me with you, I can't stand them anymore...!

Branch: I can't do that, Poppy, they'll know we're here and come looking for us, then we'll all be captured. But I promise you, Poppy, we'll be back and we're going to free you from this nightmare.

Poppy: O-Okay...but what if I die before you save me...?

Branch: Poppy, you won't, I'm sure of it. We're going to rescue you and put this behind us, we won't even bring it up if you don't want us to. We'll stop Velvet and Veneer before they do any more harm to you, I promise.

Branch held on the rope and signaled for his brothers to pull him up tugging the rope lightly.

Poppy: Branch?

Branch: Yeah?

Poppy: ...Please stay safe.

Branch: You have my word, Poppy, I'll be back soon.

Poppy watched as Branch was pulled upwards. She blew a kiss just before he disappeared into the vent.

Poppy: I'll be waiting for you...
