Branch caught up to the others. He tried to catch his breath. They all looked at him

"Why so exhausted dude?" Barb asked

"We have to go back to Cocoabura." Branch said

"What?!" The three asked, shocked

"Dude! Are you crazy?! She seriously told us to go!!" Barb said

"Yeah Branch. Let's go home." Trollex said

"I can't leave her there by herself." Branch said

"Let's just go." Trollex said

"She can have her friends. We don't need her." Barb said

"No. No. Guys, really. No!" Branch said

They stopped talking and looked at him

"I have a friend. You have a friend. Poppy! And if she wants to stay or wants to go home we'll support her. Except right now! She's confused. Now I'm going back there. Come on Archer." Branch said

Archer stayed where he was

"Archer?" He asked

Branch turned around to look at him. Archer rubbed his arm. He looked at Branch

"We already used up all our stuff Branch. We won't survive if we stay out here anymore." Archer said

"What?"

"And what's important now is that we make it back home together." Archer said

"We wouldn't even be together if it weren't for Poppy! Look back when you thought you were like the Party Crashers. You too Barb. You know she brought yourself out into the light to when you realized your mistakes were wrong." Branch said

"Maybe Poppy doesn't care about us anymore.." Trollex said

"Of course she does. She cares about all of you! She's confused. I know. You can't just turn your back on her now!" Branch told them

"Branch!! WAKE UP!! IT'S OVER!! Poppy replaced all of us!" Barb told him

Branch's expression changed

"Alright fine. Perfect! What did I expect from someone who was ditched." Branch said

Barb's eyes widened

"So this is it? After all we've been through." Branch said

He clenched his fists and walked back to Cocoabura. Trollex followed him. Branch turned around

"Trollex, no. You need to stay." Branch said

He walked forward again. Trollex continued to follow. Branch turned around annoyed

"Trollex, no, I said "Stay!" Branch said again

Trollex flinched back

Branch sighed and walked over to him

"Look, I don't want you to get pulled into this, ok? Now stay." Branch said

Trollex went back to Archer and Barb. Barb patted his back. Barb and Archer just looked at Branch

"I gotta go." Branch said

He ran away from them

Archer sighed

"I can't believe this." Archer said

Barb rolled her eyes annoyed and headed back towards Trollstopia. Trollex and Archer followed her

"Can't believe this. This entire trip for nothing!!" Barb said

Trollex and Archer looked at each other and followed her
