Poppy sat on her swing completely bored and longing. She took out a photograph of her and Branch and just stared at it for hours. Branch had left to go on a BroZone reunion tour 6 months ago, and she missed him so much it would ache. Not that she didn't like FaceTiming him occasionally, she did, but she wanted to see him in person, not on the screen.
Viva: Poppy?
Poppy turned around and saw her sister standing behind her looking a little concerned. Viva sat on the swing next to hers and held her hand.
Viva: Everything okay, sis?
Poppy: Yeah...super.
But Viva knew her little sister, the tone in her voice told her otherwise. Something was bothering her.
Viva: Hey...still missing Branch?
Poppy: ...How'd you know?
Viva: You talk in your sleep.
Poppy immediately blushed feeling a little embarrassed.
Viva: Also, you make it obvious, you're literally staring at a photo of him.
Poppy blushed again and put the photograph back in her hair.
Viva: It's okay to miss him, Poppy, you don't have to feel ashamed around me, I'm your sister.
Poppy: ...Do you miss Clay?
Viva immediately blushed and looked away hiding her suddenly crimson red face.
Viva: I-I don't see what that has to do with this conversation!
Poppy giggled a little knowing the truth, she got up and gave her big sister a hug.
Poppy: It's okay, Viva, I already know, you blush whenever he comes to mind.
Viva: ...Okay, baby sis, you got me.
Poppy: I'll be fine, I just miss him, that's all. He'll be back soon.
Viva smiled and gave Poppy a kiss on her cheek.
Viva: I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to.
Poppy: I know you are, thanks sis.

3 days later, the sound of cheering and screaming woke Poppy up from her brief nap. She looked outside her pod and saw a huge crowd gathering out in the village.
Poppy: What in the...okay...
Curiosity got the better of her and she made her way into the village to see what all the excitement was about. When she got there, she pushed her way through the crowd and suddenly stopped, her eyes sparkling like stars.
