As Jamie, Branch, and BJ (in Jamie's hair) flew for a while, BJ had one thought.

"Mom, Dad," he said.

"Yes?" the couple jinxed.

"I may have been born right before we were taken to the concert, but I still want to hear you two sing together. Can you do that please?" BJ requested.

The couple smirked at each other.

"Shall we, Angel?" Branch asked.

"We shall, Branchie," Jamie answered.

They then began, BJ rocking out to their song.

[Jamie:]
"You're preachin' to the choir, stop hatin' on yourself
Quit playin' with your mind, you're spinnin'
Ifyouthink that I'ma liar, just try it foryourself
The clouds will open up, blue skies are willing
Yeah, Iknowit'sso hard tothrow away
The cloudswill open up, blue skies are willing"

[Both:]
"Back on your feet again, lift your head, hold it high
You wanna run it back, but you can't turn the time
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
The other side
Got you stuck in your mind
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side"

[Branch:]
"Hey you, stop stressin' 'bout what you're missin'
So blue, just take it easy, take your time
If you think my words are wise, just try it for yourself
I promise the stars will light the path you walk, don't give in"
[Jamie:]
"Got a heart of gold, what a shame to go to waste
The clouds will open up, blue skies are willing"

[Both (Branch):]
"Back on your feet again, lift your head, hold it high
You wanna run it back, but you can't turn the time
You start to feel like you're losing your shine" ("Losing your shine")
"But the grass ain't always greener on the other side" ("Shine")
"The other side" ("Feet again, lift your head, hold it high")
"Got you stuck in your mind" ("Run it back, but you can't turn the time")
"You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side"

[Jamie (Branch):]
"Just take it from me, you'll be okay" ("You'll be okay")
"'Cause it don't matter how sweet it tastes" ("How sweet it tastes")
"The grass ain't green, don't worry
Losin' sleep, still wanna get
Yeah, you get"

[Both:]
"Back on your feet again, lift your head, hold it high
You wanna run it back, but you can't turn the time
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
You start to feel like you're losing your shine
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side"

When they stopped, BJ nodded in proudness and approval.

"You two sound great together. You two were meant for each other in song and as a couple," BJ told them.

The couple smiled at each other as Branch took her hand.

"Yeah. We are," he said.

Jamie smiled and kissed his cheek.

They then landed for BJ to rest and Jamie pulled Branch to the side.

"Branch, I never got to apologize to you about the fight. But you need to know that you have shown me love in everything you've done for me—" Jamie apologized.

"No need to. I should be the one to say sorry. I didn't mean what I said on the raft that when I tell you something's a bad idea you don't listen and after meeting the Funk trolls. If I hadn't felt that I had to prove anything to you," Branch told her, sighing at the end.

"Hey. A while after what you told me, I understood why you felt that way. But you being you is all it took for me to love you. And that was from Day 1 and on. I love you, Branch, and nothing will change that," she said.

He smiled and kissed her, to which she returned. They wrapped their arms around each other, her popping her leg up.

(A/N I didn't almost type "poop" this time! 😄)

When they parted, he returned, "I love you too, Jamie. And you've shown me my reasons to love you from Day 1 too."

"Any more moments like this and I'm gonna have to get my own room," BJ commented, making the couple turn to him.

They just laughed, knowing this was their life and it couldn't be more perfect.
